Everyone knows Shangguan Cheng's temper, and no one dares to refute what he decides. And everyone knows that this situation has indeed brought shame to the Shangguan family, so they don't dare to plead for Shangguan Wenyang anymore.
If Shangguan Wenyang lost to an opponent of the same level, even if the opponent was the Chen family, they would never be so angry.
They were angry that Shangguan Wenyang was also a leader among the young geniuses of the Shangguan family, and now he lost to a middle-stage Mahayana disciple of the Chen family who was even weaker than their Shangguan family.
This kind of thing would be difficult for other families with similar strength to the Chen family to accept, let alone the Shangguan family.
However, on such an occasion, although Shangguan Cheng was angry, he still tried to maintain his composure and did not let Shangguan Wenyang kneel in front of him.
Shangguan Wenyang stood there with his head lowered. Although he felt that the punishment of five hundred years was too severe, the head of the family was so angry that he did not dare to say a word. He was afraid that if he was given another few hundred years, he would be punished. This life is over.
But something like this happened today, and he himself was too embarrassed to meet people in the Shangguan family. He might as well think about it to avoid embarrassment, but five hundred years was really too long.
The Shangguan family was like a wilted eggplant, while the Chen family was in a state of joy. The haze of Chen Honghai's previous loss suddenly disappeared. For such a big victory, it is worth celebrating.
However, there was one person in the crowd who was not very happy. This person was Chen Qiuhan, who had a bye in the first round.
It wasn't that he was unhappy because of Chen Dong's victory, but because of Chen*ran's rise, which made him feel as if he had suddenly become the weakest person in the Chen family.
Especially in his first game, he won a bye. Many people thought he was just lucky and had no ability at all.
So the joy that originally brought about the bye suddenly turned into his shame.
In the next battle, Chen Hongyuan faced Jiang Yunsheng from the Jiang family. This man was only in the middle stage of Mahayana, so Chen Hongyuan defeated him without much effort.
Chen Hongyuan was also very lucky. He only encountered an early stage Mahayana student, and he advanced to the next level easily.
Groups of people changed in the four arenas. Although a few dark horses emerged, only a few people could successfully counterattack, and most people still could not.
Fifty-seven people, one bye means a duel between fifty-six people, and twenty-eight groups of people compete in four arenas, which is equivalent to seven competitions in each arena.
Although some battles were fast, there were also many duels of equal strength, so the battles took a long time. In the end, it took a day to complete the first round.
After all the competitions on this day were completed, the moods of each family were different.
Six of the ten members of the Ji family entered the second round. This winning rate is very high. The second largest family is the Situ family, with five of the nine members promoted.
Next are four people from the Chen family, three from the Nangong family, three from the Jiang family, two from the Gongsun family, two from the Shangguan family, two from the Dongfang family, and two from the Feng family.
A total of twenty-nine people entered the second round. Judging from the results of the first round, although the Ji family had the largest number of people entering the second round, the Chen family had the highest winning rate. A total of five people actually had Four people advanced, with a winning rate of 80%, and once again became a dark horse, attracting the attention of the other eight aristocratic families.
In addition to the Chen family, the Jiang family's performance is also pretty good. Although Jiang Yunshan was counterattacked by Nangong Ke, three of their five people still advanced, and the winning rate was the same as that of the Ji family, reaching 60%.
However, with so many people from the Chen family and Jiang family being promoted, it is natural that people from other aristocratic families have been pushed down. The situation of several of these aristocratic families is not very good.
For example, only three of the seven members of the Nangong family are left, and only two of the six members of the Gongsun family are left, both of which suffered losses of more than half.
Especially the Nangong Family. After the first round, their Nangong Family has been ranked fourth, which is not good for their subsequent competition.
"Brother Hongyuan, I really want to congratulate you this time. According to the current situation, your Chen family has a great chance of entering the top three!" After the first competition, Chen Hongyuan walked down, Xinhai holding his fists and laughing.
Originally, they thought that the Chen family had little hope this time, but they did not expect that the Chen family actually became a dark horse. Four of the five people advanced, and the upcoming competition was still very promising.
"Although today's situation is not bad, today is only the first round of the knockout round. Many weaker players have basically been eliminated today. So compared to today, tomorrow's knockout round will be a tough battle. Can our Chen family still be able to do it?" It's difficult to maintain such an advantage!" Today's results made Chen Hongyuan very happy, but he was not complacent about it.
Because today is only the first day of the competition, starting from tomorrow, the opponents will become stronger and stronger, so the competition will become more and more difficult.
Especially in the semi-finals and semi-finals, the rest are basically in the late Mahayana stage.
However, there are only ten or twenty late Mahayana players in the entire competition, so even the late Mahayana players will be eliminated in large numbers by then, which shows how fierce the competition will be in the future.
So what really worries Chen Hongyuan is the subsequent battle for the top three, because what he wants is not just a false name, but he hopes to get the top three for the Chen family so that the Chen family can qualify to enter the Death Realm.
"Don't worry, I still have great confidence in you. Even if there are some masters from other aristocratic families, you are not worse than them, so the chances are still great. Besides, the draw-style competition still depends on luck. , if you have better luck, I believe you can easily enter the finals.
If your opponents are less lucky and encounter some powerful opponents in advance, you will make a lot of money. "Xinhai said with a smile.
"What if I encounter a strong opponent in advance? Wouldn't I be out soon?" Chen Hongyuan said with a bitter smile.
What Xinhai said is true. Luck is indeed very important in this kind of lottery-style competition. No one knows how strong his opponent is before he steps into the ring.
Just like today's round of competition, there were actually some people who were good but unlucky and were directly eliminated, such as Shangguan Wenyang from the Shangguan family.
Even if his strength is not very strong, he is still in the late stage of Mahayana after all, and he will not be far behind no matter what.
But after the first round of elimination, many people in the junior and middle stages of Mahayana even advanced, but he was eliminated. Will he be weaker than these people? Obviously not.
Therefore, sometimes luck is really a part of strength. If his strength is not weak and he has excellent luck, he really has great hopes for the top three.
