Sun Yongfu continued: "Okay, let me talk about the rules of the competition. As everyone knows, this competition has been changed to a team competition, and you must register as a group. This time the first-place team will get better rewards. ! The teams that didn't get the first place don't have to be discouraged, because the top five teams can challenge the inner disciples' teams! If they win, they can also get rewards! Of course, the first place team can also challenge the inner disciples! If you win, you will get double the reward! So, this is really a happy event! Everyone applauds!"
"Papa..." Everyone clapped weakly a few times.
"Very good, everyone seems very happy. After forming a team, each team will send a representative to register with me so that I can arrange the competition. Those who do not participate in the competition will not be issued chess pieces this month." Sun Yongfu did this. To encourage everyone to participate.
In fact, the rules of this competition are not abnormal. It is free to challenge inner disciples, not compulsory. If you win, you will get richer rewards. Even if you fail to win, you will still have a place to go out.
I queued up to Sun Yongfu's table, and without waiting for him to ask, I took the initiative and said, "My teammates are Tang Zhilong and Liu Mengyan."
Sun Yongfu frowned: "Your team is not good. Two of the top three in the last competition were from your team. This is unfair to other participants! Either you disband the team, or before the finals, Liu Meng You can't smoke! You make your own choice."
What? ! Before the finals, Liu Mengyan can't take action? ! If it were a normal enemy, the gorilla and I would be able to deal with it, but if we encounter Luo Yunyi in the preliminary round, our team will directly attack! ! !
My thoughts were racing, and I thought that Sun Yongfu was moody and I absolutely couldn't bargain with him! what to do? Disband the team? Or agree to his request?
I must agree! In that case, there might still be a chance of winning! As long as you can reach the top five, it doesn't matter if you fail! Anyway, there is still another chance to challenge the inner disciples. As long as I win, when the rewards are given out, I don't need the rewards and directly ask for a place to go out. I'm sure the top management of Huanyu Pavilion will agree. Besides, it's not necessarily a bit of a back-up. I met Luo Yunyi in the preliminary round. If that's the case, it's God's will! I admit defeat!
So I nodded: "Okay, Liu Mengyan won't take action before the finals!"
In fact, I only thought about it for about two seconds. Seeing that I gave the answer so quickly, Sun Yongfu nodded appreciatively and wrote down the information about our team on the paper...
I pulled the gorilla in front of Liu Mengyan and told me what had just happened. They all frowned. They must also be worried about what they will do if they run into Luo Yunyi in the preliminary round.
I said consolingly: "It's not such a coincidence. The chance of meeting Luo Yunyi in the preliminary round is very low. As long as we successfully reach the top five, we have hope of turning around! What Sun Yongfu said is that Miss Liu is not allowed to take action before the finals, and It didn't say anything about the play-offs and she wasn't allowed to take action. So, even if we don't get first place in the outside gate, we still have a chance to get a reward or an outside spot."
"Are you crazy? You dare to take ideas from the inner disciples?" The gorilla cursed and said: "His grandma already knew that this competition was a cheat! I didn't want to practice, but then Liu Mengyan joined, and I saw hope. I have been practicing crazily for three months, and now I have been given another restriction! How can I live my life like this? Hey, hey, hey, hey~~" The gorilla has also learned to use 'hey hey, hey, hey~~' to express itself. tragic experience.
............
Twenty minutes later, the statistics were completed, and there were a total of 77 groups participating! Matching is still done by drawing lots. In group 77, there is a blank draw, and the remaining 76 groups compete. 76 goes into 38, and 38 goes into 19. At this time, the team that drew the blank lottery comes on the stage and becomes 20 groups. Then 20 goes into 10, and 10 goes into 5. Then there will be another draw, in which there is a blank lottery, and the remaining 4 groups, 4 into 2, 2 into 1, and then the champion team will play against the blank lottery team again, and the winning team will be the winning team of this competition!
The inner sect will send out 5 teams, which are the disciples of the five leaders: Wang, Gong, Hou, Qing, and Min. The top five teams can also challenge these inner sect teams. If they win, they will receive generous rewards.
As for drawing lots...each team sent one person to do it, and the gorilla strongly requested that I be the one to draw! Because I got a blank draw last time.
I said helplessly: "Brother, it was just a coincidence last time. In fact, I was very unlucky. It's better for you to go." Indeed, it seems that you are very lucky if you draw a blank lot. In fact, if you don't draw a blank lot, , I won't work so hard, and my lungs won't...
"Damn! Is it bad luck to draw a blank lottery ticket? Go quickly and don't come back until you draw a blank lottery ticket!" The gorilla kicked me.
I dodged the attack and lined up to draw lots. Damn it, this leader is Akaya Ming! If you get Luo Yunyi's team all of a sudden, don't blame me!
With this mood, I reached into the box and grabbed a paper ball at random.
Take it out and slowly open it...blank paper! Both front and back are blank! My day! ! Another empty sign! Is there any mistake?
I was not pleasantly surprised, but instead felt worried. The last time I drew a blank lottery, it almost killed me. This time I drew a blank lottery, and another bad luck must be coming...
Sun Yongfu looked me up and down: "So lucky? Did you get an empty draw in two consecutive games?!"
"Yeah." I agreed helplessly, put the white paper on the table, turned around and walked in the direction of the gorilla and the others.
The gorilla said excitedly: "Xiaolong, you are so awesome! You actually got the empty lottery! We don't have to participate in the preliminary and semi-finals! Haha..."
An hour later, the order of the competition was arranged, and we took the teleportation array to the competition ground.
There were already many inner disciples standing in the stands to watch, fifty or sixty of them. Feng Nianke was among them. She waved to me with a smile. Then, many inner disciples came to our side. It seems... I pretended not to know Feng Nianke and turned my attention elsewhere.
I heard that Feng Nian is the apple of Huan Yu Pavilion, and there are many people who have ideas about her. I don't want to get into trouble... Just when I thought of this, Feng Nian actually walked down from the stands! As he walked, he shouted: "Hey! You nuisance!"
In desperation, I had no choice but to turn my head and said with a smile: "Huh? Miss Feng, you are here too. Why didn't I see you just now?"
"Hmph! That's a lie! You obviously saw someone, but you pretended not to."
"Uh...I just want to joke with you!" I quickly laughed with you...
............
Finally, the game begins! Since our team got an empty draw and was very relaxed, we decided to watch Luo Yunyi's team play and get a feel for their strength first. When we meet, the winning rate will be greater.
Who would have thought... their opponents would abstain from voting! !
What hurts us is that we wanted to watch a play, but we didn't watch it...
The next day.
Since the preliminary round was completed yesterday, today we will compete in the rematch of 20 to 10 and 10 to 5. It is our turn to play! Fortunately, whether it is 20 to 10 or 10 to 5, we will not encounter Luo Yunyi's team!
Since Liu Mengyan can't take action before the finals, today it mainly depends on me and Gorilla. After discussing with the gorilla, it was decided that I would take the first shot because I wanted to fight against people with different abilities and gain combat experience.
Before I came on stage, the gorilla was still encouraging me: "Xiaolong, you must fight three with one! Otherwise, don't come down! You know, Luo Yunyi's team didn't reveal their strength at all yesterday, and we have to do our best to expose it as little as possible." Some!"
I rolled my eyes: "What? You mean, today's six opponents are all handed over to me? Are you too lazy? You are just making excuses!" But due to the 'preparation clock' It had already sounded, so I didn't talk nonsense to him and jumped onto the ring.
A man from the opposite side also jumped onto the ring. He made a fist-cup salute: "My name is Wang Junchi. I have the same ability as you, the secret skill of fire. I will ask for your advice later."
I also bowed politely and said, "Brother Wang, your words are serious."
About a minute later, another bell rang, this time signaling the start of the game!
Wang Junchi stepped forward and rushed towards me quickly! At the same time, two fireballs condensed in his hands and were thrown towards me! If I were an ordinary person, I would definitely not be able to dodge the fireball! Because the fireball is very fast! But my current mental reaction speed is very high, so the speed of this fireball is not too fast in my eyes, it is just average.
When the fireball was about to hit my chest, I bent back, propped myself on the ground with one hand and rolled backwards, just in time to avoid the fireball.
After I rolled over, Wang Junchi also rushed to my side, stretched out his hand to strangle my neck! I jumped back a step and used a move to sweep his legs! Just trip him to the ground! Then he grabbed his ankles in a coherent movement and started spinning hard! Get ready to throw him right off the ring!
But what I didn't expect was that he actually stretched out a hand to me, and a flame burst out from his palm, burning directly towards my face! I quickly raised my head subconsciously!
And he took this opportunity to break away from my hand with both feet!
Interesting...this kind of more powerful opponent is interesting. It would be boring if I threw you off the stage with just a few moves.
After he landed, he rushed towards me again. As he ran, he stretched out a single palm and sprayed flames on my face! He seemed to want to use this move to force me to the edge of the ring, and then take the opportunity to knock me off the ring...
How could I let him succeed? ! He bent down and kicked him in the chest, knocking him back several steps. He covered his chest with his hand and kept coughing.
I didn't give him another chance, I rushed forward, fought with two moves, and knocked him out with a knife! Then he threw down the ring and said calmly: "Next one."
