Xie Wule arrived at the assembly point, less than an hour before the sun set.
There are many people waiting here in the open space. Seeing that they are either frustrated, excited, or dull, Xie Wule knows that not all people here have obtained the qualifications for advancement.
As soon as Xie Wule jumped down from the tree, Zuo Yi and Luonan came over.
"Xie Wule, did you get the red ribbon?" Luo Nan shook the two ribbons in his hand and asked.
Xie Wule nodded but did not speak yet. Zuo Yi smiled and said: "How could Brother Xie fail to advance to the next level? Miss Luonan must have underestimated Brother Xie too much."
Luonan was stunned when Zuo Yiyi said it: "I'm not worried, but I ask you what if there is no chance? What if there is no chance?"
"There are not so many eventualities." Zuo Yi said firmly.
Xie Wule smiled and said: "Thank you Miss Luonan for worrying. Although I have obtained the ribbon, it is still a critical moment..."
Just as Xie Wule was talking about this, there was a sudden noise on the side. Xie Wule and the other three looked and saw that it was Zhuge Kong who was waiting for the Nanxian Gang people to arrive and was handing out the extra tokens and ribbons to the Nanxian Gang members who had not obtained the qualifications. . Wu Shaoqiu, who was injured by Xie Wule, is now standing aside as if nothing happened, but his face is not very pretty.
Zhuge Kong also noticed Xie Wule's gaze and looked up.
Xie Wule nodded to him with a fake smile, turned to the left, and Luo Nan said: "Originally, up until a few hours ago, I couldn't find the spirit beast. Thanks to the help of Brother Zhuge and the others, I got this Of ribbons.”
"He is so kind!" Luo Nan looked at Zhuge Kong with bright eyes and said in disbelief that he would help Xie Wule even if he helped people from his own gang.
"Those who were robbed of their tokens by him will not think so." Zuo Yi poured cold water on Luonan again and again indifferently.
"Huh! You have the nerve to talk about others!" Luonan turned around, glared at Zuo Yi, leaned closer to Xie Wule, and pretended to lower his voice: "Xie Wule, let me tell you, Zuo Yi just robbed someone else's token. , and I heard that I managed to grab someone from the elite realm, so shameless." As he spoke, he looked at Zuo Yi's expression from time to time.
Xie Wule smiled and said, "Is that so?"
Zuo Yi didn't care and smiled: "I really didn't want to find those spiritual beasts, so I turned my target to a brother who passed by me."
"Also, Miss Luonan, if you meet that person in the next competition, you should pay more attention." Zuo Yi looked at Zhuge Kong and warned.
"You also know Zuo Yi?" Luonan looked at Zhuge Kong who was still handing out ribbon tokens, and then looked at Zuo Yi.
Xie Wule also frowned. Zhuge Kong is in the transcendent realm, and Luonan is indeed very likely to meet him in the next competition: "Brother Zuo Yi is right, Zhuge Kong does need to be careful."
"Since you all said so, I know." Luonan nodded.
Soon the sun went down, and many elders came out and confirmed everyone's situation one by one. Those who were not qualified to advance had their tokens taken away.
The results were soon announced: "In the first round of trials, a total of 42,217 people participated, and 18,011 people finally qualified."
"The next round of competition will be an arena competition, with separate competitions for each realm. The comparison list will be announced at the Academy Square at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. The official competition time will be three days later. There are no restrictions on means, so please be prepared."
After saying that, the elder left directly.
"Then let's all go back and rest first. How about we go to the square together tomorrow." Zuo Yi looked at the remaining candidates and said.
"good!"
"no problem."
The three of them said goodbye and left.
Xie Wule did not go back to the room directly, but planned to go to Qing Chenfeng first to make the next arena match more confident.
The next day.
The three of them came to the square, and two huge translucent curtains opened in the sky. The crowd was naturally divided into two teams based on their cultivation.
"Brother Xie, the one on the left is from Jie Realm." Zuo said.
Xie Wule nodded: "Thank you, Brother Zuo Yi." He cast his gaze.
The densely packed golden names on the curtain dazzled Xie Wule. The upper left corner shows the total number of people: 8001.
Xie Wule was shocked. At first, the number of people in the Jie Realm was about twice as much as that in the Extraordinary Realm. However, after the first round, the number of people who advanced was actually less than that of the Extraordinary Realm.
Xie Wule searched for his name on the curtain, and finally found it in the middle, No. 4555, Six Places Dragon and Tiger Gang, Xie Wule. My opponent is...No. 4556, Luo Jia Xing of the Three Earth Wood God Gang.
Not long after Xie Wule found his name, the surroundings immediately became noisy.
"Why does he get a bye?"
"Isn't there some secret operation? Why am I not the one who got the bye?"
"That's right..."
Xie Wule originally didn't care much about who got the bye, but many people around him were talking about it, so he also looked at the curtain. The guy who got the bye, like his opponent, was from three places, and this gang competition was from three places. No wonder it made people think of a secret operation.
The voice of dissatisfaction became louder and louder, and finally an elder came out to maintain order at the scene: "Quiet! This competition is absolutely fair and impartial. There is no secret operation. Please rest assured!"
Although the elder's voice was serious, his words were unconvincing. Empty talk backfired, and the scene became even more chaotic.
"I have long thought that there is something wrong with this competition! There was obviously no mention of hunting spiritual beasts at the beginning, but after we got here, we were told to add a new link. Isn't it just to let you three places Are there more people in the gang who have been promoted? You are more familiar with the terrain here, aren't you?"
"I think this brother is right!"
"We are not convinced!"
"We are not convinced!"
"Quiet! Quiet!" Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control, the elder could only inform the other elders.
After a while, several more people came quickly.
"Please calm down, everyone, and I will explain the reason." said an old man with a white beard.
But no one did it, and there was still an uproar.
Another middle-aged man walked out, glanced at everyone in the audience with a straight face, and said angrily: "Whoever spreads rumors again will be immediately disqualified from participating in the next round of competition!"
"Threaten us? Are you angry because we told you what you said?"
"We won't be scared by you!"
"There is definitely a secret operation!"
...
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and the robe on his body flew up into the air automatically without any wind. With a grab, several people were picked up by a palm transformed from brown true energy, and then he threw them again, throwing several people onto the stage. .
Several people were thrown so hard that their whole bodies ached, rolling on the ground and moaning from their mouths. The middle-aged man fell in front of a few people and made a series of seals. The tokens around their waists immediately glowed with light, and the tokens shattered to the ground.
"Does anyone else want to try?" The middle-aged man looked at everyone in the audience again.
The few people who were disqualified just now were the ones who made the most noise. Seeing the miserable situation of these people, even if others were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything at this moment.
Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, the middle-aged man's tone also softened a lot: "I know that everyone is dissatisfied with the result of the bye and has doubts about the first round of trials. Next, I will share the results of each gang in the first round. The number of people who have advanced will be announced and let everyone see for themselves. I believe that after seeing it, everyone will no longer think that there is a secret operation."
After saying that, the middle-aged man made a Dao Seal, and the curtain that originally showed the battle list fluctuated a few times in mid-air, and was replaced by the number of people promoted by each gang.
A total of more than 9,000 people from the Beishen Gang, Nanxian Gang, Xidi Gang, and Donghuang Gang were promoted.
Two goblin tiger gangs, with about 400 people promoted,
A total of more than 1,600 people from the Three Earth Wood God Gang, Qianglong Gang, and Qingling Gang were promoted.
A total of nearly 3,000 people from the Frost Gang and Fengxue Gang in the four regions have been promoted.
A total of about 3,000 and 300 members of the Wudi Motian Gang and Jinsha Gang have been promoted.
More than 600 people from the Six Places Dragon and Tiger Gang have been promoted.
This result was beyond everyone's expectation. Except for the second and sixth places, which only had one gang, the third place was promoted the least, and almost all of the four gangs in the first place were promoted!
In fact, the promotion results can be seen in the duel table just now, but no one cares about other things except themselves.
The reason why the later byes can cause such a big reaction is that it is closely linked to everyone's own interests. Everyone wants to directly enter the next round with a bye.
No one made a sound.
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now please take a look at your tokens."
Xie Wule picked it up and took a look. On the back of the token, a string of numbers appeared at some point. When it was first handed out to him, it looked like a jade token, nothing else. And this string of numbers is exactly the serial number I just saw on the curtain: 4555.
"Did you see a number? We matched everyone's opponents based on this number, and the bye numbers were randomly drawn, so I don't think it's a secret operation!"
"Now, except for the five people who were disqualified by me, there will be no byes, and the comparison list will also be rearranged! Everyone must believe that this gang competition will be absolutely fair and just!"
After that, the middle-aged man left together with several other elders.
"I said Ye Mingshu, is this going too far?" On the way back, the old man with a white beard looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
Ye Mingshu shook his head and sighed: "What Mr. Jiang said is true, but this is also a helpless move. If we don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, it will take some time to resolve this matter today."
Ye Mingshu paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said in a sharp tone: "Similarly, those few people are not enough for us to place high hopes on."
Jiang Tianliang sighed again: "There's no need to rush, there's no need to rush this..."
After the elders left, the curtain in mid-air changed back to the previous duel list. This time Xie Wule changed it to No. 1279, who will fight No. 1280, Wudi Motian Gang, Saturday and Seven.
Xie Wule walked out of the crowd and saw Luonan and Luonan on the left still waiting for him, and said, "Long wait."
"Brother Xie, there's quite a lot of noise here." Zuo Yi said with a smile: "But those few people are also incompetent people. Just because their corresponding opponents are relatively strong, they caused such a farce. Even if they are not disqualified, this Those who are born will not be able to advance to the next round.”
"Brother Zuo Yi even knows their strength?" Xie Wule said in disbelief. How could Zuo Yi know the strength of other gang members so clearly?
Zuo Yi smiled again and said nothing.
