This time, they did not return to the previous square space.
Instead, they came to the venue, which was like the war zone at the beginning.
The circular stone steps go up layer by layer, with a small platform at the bottom.
There is also a towering stone monument standing in the center of the platform, with a stationary vortex entrance on the east and west sides.
At this time, one hundred and eight qualified candidates all landed on the surrounding stone steps.
Looking carefully, there are still a lot of people left in the seven major sects, and there are still more than forty people.
However, the casual cultivators who originally had the upper hand became scattered and scattered because they were fighting for each other. In the end, they suffered the consequences, and many people were eliminated.
At this moment, Lu Li, Liu Qingxuan and others were standing on the hillside of the stone steps to the east of the venue, overlooking the platform below.
Ye Zhanpeng and other members of the seven major sects stood in the west of the venue with gloomy expressions.
If a being like Lu Li hadn't suddenly appeared this time, there might have been nothing to do with casual cultivators in this final round.
But the current situation is that there are fewer people in their seven major sects than casual cultivators.
"Brother Lu, Ye Zhanpeng seems to be unhappy with you, so you have to be more careful." Liu Qingxuan lightly poked Lu Li's arm.
"It would be weird if he saw me happy." Lu Li rolled his eyes at Liu Qingxuan.
"Hehe, Brother Lu, you didn't lose this time. At least you earned enough fame, didn't you? If you need anything in the future, just raise your arms and there will definitely be many people willing to help you."
"You are overthinking. Most of those people are people who follow the trend and only care about immediate interests. A few of them will be grateful for their kindness and will be lucky if they don't stab me in the back in the future..."
Lu Li shook his head. He never thought that the casual cultivators who temporarily gathered around him would be grateful for his kindness. The reason why he stood up was just to do what he wanted to do.
Moreover, the situation at that time really required someone to stand up and carry the flag. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, when all the casual cultivators were cleared from the battlefield, he would not be able to defeat hundreds of powerful men from seven major sects one by one...
"Brother Lu, you are too pessimistic. No matter what others think, I, Liu Qingxuan, will definitely stand behind you. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Taiacheng to find me. If I can help, I, Liu Qingxuan, will never frown!" Liu Qingxuan said seriously! road.
"Oh?" Lu Li raised his eyelids and stared at Liu Qingxuan in surprise.
"I'm serious." Liu Qingxuan repeated.
"Haha! Okay, Brother Liu is indeed a hot-blooded person. I have made you my friend." Lu Li patted Liu Qingxuan on the shoulder.
"Hey, I've been waiting for your words..." Liu Qingxuan also smiled happily after hearing this.
"Do you know the rules of this final round of ranking competition?" Lu Li asked, changing the subject.
"It's hard to say."
"Just like the previous melee, I haven't encountered it in the last round, so I can't say whether there will be any changes in the third round." Liu Qingxuan shook his head.
"Is this so..."
When Lu Li heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He sat down and waited quietly.
The rest of the people also began to seize the time to adjust their mentality and prepare for the final ranking battle.
The venue was silent.
About an hour passed.
Only then did Xuandaozi's figure appear again.
He stood on the top of the stone tablet in the center of the platform and glanced at everyone indifferently.
Then he slowly said: "Okay, the intermission is over, please come down and draw lots and prepare for the final round of ranking battle."
Draw lots!
Everyone was stunned when they heard these two words.
It is obvious that even the people from the previous session have not experienced the drawing of lots.
It seems that the rules this time are obviously different from the previous one.
However, no one raised any questions or anything. They got up obediently and flew towards the platform.
One hundred and eight people lined up in a long line, from the bottom of the platform to the stone tablet in the center of the platform.
Xuandaozi flew down in front of the stone tablet, and a black lottery tube appeared in his palm.
There are many small jade sticks in the tube, and the heads of the sticks exposed outside the tube are all black.
He didn't explain too much and just asked the middle-aged man ranked first to start drawing.
The middle-aged man didn't know what the specific rules were, so he pinched it casually and pulled out a small jade stick.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the color of the head and tail of this jade sign were different.
The jade sign in the middle-aged man's hand has a black head but a red tail.
"After drawing lots, we will go back to the combat zone and wait."
Before the middle-aged man could ask, Xuandaozi had already started chasing him away.
"yes."
The middle-aged man didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he put away the jade sign honestly, and then flew back to the east stone steps in a flash.
The drawing continues.
The second person had a black head and a white tail.
The third person slapped the black head and red tail.
The fourth person slapped the black head and red tail again.
…
After going back and forth like this, everyone finally understood that the jade signs in the lotus tube were red and white.
Maybe they will still be divided into two camps by then.
Lu Li stepped forward and also took out a jade stick with a black head and red tail.
Without saying anything else, he turned around and landed on the stone steps.
"Brother Lu, what are you signing?" Liu Qingxuan saw this and hurriedly came over.
"Red sign." Lu Li spread his hands, revealing the jade sign in his hand.
"Ah?" Liu Qingxuan's face suddenly fell.
"What's wrong?" Lu Li asked confused.
"I'm a free sign."
Liu Qingxuan opened his palm and saw a jade stick with a black head and a white tail lying in his palm.
"A white sign is a white sign, what's so frustrating about it." Lu Li looked at Liu Qingxuan strangely.
"I'm afraid it will be another melee. Then we won't be rivals..." Liu Qingxuan scratched his head.
"No, this is a ranking match. It should be about personal strength. If it's still a melee, it's meaningless." Lu Li shook his head, thinking that this possibility was unlikely.
"Hehe, you're right." Liu Qingxuan felt much better after hearing this.
Suddenly, he turned his eyes, stared at the jade sign in his hand and said in surprise: "Brother Lu, look! There seems to be a number on it."
Lu Li looked up and found a few very inconspicuous small words hidden in the darkness in the black area of Liu Qingxuan's jade sign.
"thirty eight."
Upon discovering this number, Lu Li immediately looked at his jade sign.
When he looked at it, he found that his jade sign also had a number on it.
But the number is fifty-five.
"Okay, the draw is over!" At this time, Xuan Daozi's voice came from below again.
Everyone immediately calmed down and looked at Xuan Daozi.
Xuandaozi flew back to the top of the stone tablet and began to explain the rules of the ranking competition.
The rules of the competition are two-by-two elimination.
That is, specific opponents are assigned according to their respective jade lot numbers.
The winner advances and continues to play against other people who advance. The loser retreats and continues to fight the loser.
The white sign numbers are from one to fifty-four.
The red ticket numbers are from fifty-five to one hundred and eight.
The rules for assigning opponents are: No. 1 vs. No. 55, No. 2 vs. No. 56... and so on, until finally it is No. 54 vs. No. 108.
There is no opportunity for shortcuts.
You draw the jade lot by yourself. If your opponent is too strong, it only means that you are not lucky enough.
Lu Li's number was fifty-five, which happened to match the white lottery number one.
As expected, they will be the first to take the field.
Sure enough, after Xuan Daozi explained the rules, he directly announced the start of the game:
"I'd like to invite you, white number one and red number fifty-five, to enter battlefield number one."
"White Lot No. 2, Red Lot No. 56, enter battlefield No. 2!"
Are there two battlefields?
Hearing this, many people were stunned.
But when I saw the two teleportation vortexes on the platform, I immediately understood the reason.
