Chapter 103: Top Ten Qualifying Matches!
After two days of competition, the atmosphere in the inner courtyard had reached its peak.
Everyone was discussing the upcoming top ten showdown today.
Making it to the third round meant that each participant was a strong student.
Even Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy, two freshmen who usually didn't shine but attracted attention because of Xiao Ze.
At this moment, there were many steadfast supporters who believed they had a good chance of staying in the top ten!
Xiao Ze and the others appeared on time in the central square.
Seeing them, the audience's discussion became even more intense.
"I wonder if there has ever been a history of three freshmen from the inner courtyard entering the third round together?"
"If in the end, three freshmen occupy the top ten of the strong list, then the strength and luck of these three freshmen would be truly terrifying!"
"I have a feeling that we're witnessing the birth of history in the inner courtyard!"
The heated discussion continued until the arrival of the Great Elder and many elders, which slowly subsided.
"Today, the third round of the competition will be held, with thirteen remaining participants."
"Six people will be randomly selected for head-to-head matches, with the winners advancing to the top ten and qualifying for the Origin Heart Flame Body Refinement!"
As the voice of the Great Elder fell, many participants on the scene also became more spirited.
Next, it will be decided whether they can get that ticket to the King's Contest!
To be honest, the participants who made it to the third round were all very strong.
Even the two weaker freshmen were not to be underestimated.
A slight mistake could easily be picked off by a freshman.
Of course, the most important thing was still facing Ziyan and Xiao Ze upfront, they were the real formidable opponents.
Once they encountered these two, the chances of winning were really low!
After the draw by the Great Elder in the past two days, many top-ranking powerhouses were also quite worried about the Great Elder's luck.
Afraid of being sacrificed by the Great Elder.
Glancing at the many top-ranking powerhouses who looked serious, the Great Elder smiled faintly, then immediately drew a slip of paper from the box.
His eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then he spoke, "Ziyan!"
Upon hearing Ziyan's name, many top-ranking powerhouses swallowed nervously.
Sure enough, they couldn't trust the Great Elder's luck.
Facing Ziyan, none of the many powerhouses on the scene dared to guarantee that they could win!
People began to feel uneasy, even these top-ranking powerhouses didn't want to face that brute king!
The Great Elder slowly drew another slip of paper and publicly announced the first victim.
"Lin Lieyang!"
Lin Lieyang, who had his arms crossed, clenched his fists quietly, his expression somewhat solemn.
But it was already the third round, it was impossible for him to give up without a fight.
No matter what, he had to fight on the stage, even if he was facing that brute king.
After seeing the sympathetic and regretful looks from others, Lin Lieyang snorted, ignored them, and silently prepared for the upcoming battle.
"Xiao Ze!"
At this moment, the voice of the Great Elder once again attracted the attention of everyone present.
Even the audience below looked at the Great Elder with a strange expression.
Could it be that the Great Elder's luck was specifically targeting the other participants?
The two strongest had been drawn by him, wouldn't the other participants be unlucky?
Seeing the strange looks from everyone, the Great Elder coughed lightly, didn't say much, and quickly announced the next victim.
"Bai Shao."
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on the man in the middle of the team wearing a blue shirt.
Bai Shao couldn't help but touch his nose when he heard the words, revealing a somewhat unwilling and bitter smile.
He was a student from the Alchemy Department who entered the inner courtyard.
Being able to advance to the third round was the result of his extraordinary effort.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to step into the threshold of the top ten, he encountered such a formidable opponent.
"Lei Jia!"
The voice of the Great Elder rang out, completely silencing the entire venue.
Should they collectively petition for the next Strong List Competition not to be decided by the Great Elder's drawing?
This was completely targeting the other participants. Lei Jia could be considered the strongest one besides Ziyan and Xiao Ze.
Now, among all the participants, the three strongest had all been drawn by the Great Elder.
Seeing himself continuously drawing the top three, the Great Elder couldn't help but doubt.
Was his luck really targeting the other participants?
"Qin Fei!"
Upon hearing this last name, the entire audience suddenly realized that the top ten strong list was really going to be occupied by three freshmen!
Because Xiao Ze's strength could definitely defeat his opponent.
And Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy didn't even need to fight, they directly entered the top ten showdown!
"Although I had a premonition of this possibility, seeing it happen feels really unbelievable!"
"Three freshmen are in the top ten of the inner courtyard competition. Is it because the freshmen are too extraordinary, or is it that the luck of the top ten is not so good?"
"We're really witnessing history being made!"
Amidst people's discussions, the first round of the top ten elimination match also began.
Ziyan versus Lin Lieyang.
At the beginning of the match, Lin Lieyang used his strongest move.
Facing the brute king, he didn't have the qualification to hold back.
Using his strongest move as quickly as possible, hoping to see if he could inflict damage on the brute king.
Ziyan was also not polite at all, with the idea of ending it quickly, she suddenly rushed towards Lin Lieyang.
Before Lin Lieyang's martial arts condensed, Ziyan, like a terrifying monster, arrived in front of him.
Her tender fist swung out!
Before the fist even landed, the violent wind had already blown Lin Lieyang's hair into an upright style.
Helpless, Lin Lieyang could only block with his long spear.
Feeling the incomparably powerful and unmatched brute force.
Lin Lieyang felt bitter in his heart, knowing that he was bound to lose this battle.
Sure enough, Lin Lieyang's figure flew uncontrollably towards the stage below.
Finally, crashing heavily onto the stage, if it wasn't for the long spear forcibly inserted into the ground, stopping his figure.
He would probably have to roll dozens of times in embarrassment to dissipate this force.
"Boring."
Ziyan bounced off the stage cheerfully.
The elder quickly announced Ziyan's victory.
At the same time, the next pair of contestants took the stage.
"Elder, I forfeit. I don't believe I'm a match for Xiao Ze's junior brother."
Bai Shao suddenly spoke up, surprising everyone present.
To give up just one step away from entering the top ten was rare.
It was more common to fight like Lin Lieyang did.
"In that case, Xiao Ze wins! Please, the next group of students, come on stage."
The battle between Lei Jia and Qin Fei was particularly intense.
Although Lei Jia was ranked third, Qin Fei was also not weak, ranking in the top ten.
They fought back and forth, igniting the audience's enthusiasm, wishing they could also step onto the stage for a battle.
In the end, Qin Fei couldn't withstand Lei Jia's terrifying lightning damage.
"Lei Jia wins!"
As the elder's words fell, the Great Elder also took the stage.
"The top ten have been decided. All the students who entered the top ten will be promoted according to their original ranking in the strong list."
"Low-ranking students have the right to challenge high-ranking students. If they win, they can replace their ranking!"
With the Great Elder's words, the top ten competition officially began.
As Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy's original rankings were twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth, they were promoted to ninth and tenth place according to the rules.
They had the qualification to challenge everyone!
