Sword Rain seemed to be the joke of the whole audience. He had just been defeated by Lin Chen and had to face Lin Chen again.
It can be said that the decision whether Jianyu can advance or not is already in Lin Chen's hands.
Jian Yu looked numb and ashamed. He didn't know where he got the courage. Faced with everyone's ridicule, he stepped onto the fighting stage again step by step, but he didn't dare to look Lin Chen in the face.
Lin Chen's expression was indifferent, but there was a sense of scrutiny in his eyes, and he joked: "Brother Jianyu, I have told you a long time ago, if you are unlucky, bad luck will always haunt you, am I right?
?”
Hear the sound!
Jian Yu felt a stab in his heart, and Shen said angrily: "Boy! There's no telling who will be unlucky!"
Lin Chen sneered, smiled and said nothing, and then turned around and walked off the martial arts platform, looking extremely free and easy.
"what's the situation?"
"What does Xingyan mean? Does it count as giving up?"
"It doesn't make sense? They are so tense, Xingyan can't miss the opportunity to step on Jian Yu?"
…
Everyone was shocked. They originally thought that Jian Yu would end in a disastrous defeat, but an accident happened.
"This!?" Duandao and the others were also completely confused.
"Is this boy showing great kindness?" Jiang Ge also looked stunned.
"Doesn't he like to take advantage? This is really not in line with his character. Am I overthinking it?" Sima Tianqi said in shock.
"I still like to be competitive." Yunyue sighed softly.
Jian Yu was also stunned and said angrily: "Boy! Stop! What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
"Do you think you will still be my opponent now?" Lin Chen turned around and said, full of irony.
"You..." Jian Yu's face turned red with anger. He really had no confidence in dealing with Lin Chen now, but if Lin Chen gave up directly, he would undoubtedly get another hard stamp on his face.
"Haha, don't you think I am invincible? Then I will give you a chance. If you can advance and meet me again, we will have a fair fight!" Lin Chen smiled faintly and said: "But the premise is
Yes, you can definitely win the next two rounds."
"Good boy! You have the backbone! But I will not accept your love! If I meet you again in the promotion competition, I will definitely wash away my shame and defeat you openly!" Jian Yu was furious, hoping to win the first place.
Winning points is also a shame.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!" Lin Chen sneered.
"You will definitely regret the decision you make now, I guarantee it!" Jian Yu gritted his teeth and said, he never thought that he would lose to Lin Chen, he just didn't go all out at the beginning.
"How arrogant! You are just looking for death!" Jiange snorted coldly.
"What a waste." Broken Blade and the others were quite helpless, but this was Lin Chen's choice and no one could stop it.
"I like this character!" Minghai smiled slightly and suddenly felt that Lin Chen was more pleasing to the eye.
"Could it be Brother Chen?" Yang Chen became more and more confused. This was not in line with Lin Chen's character at all.
"Having ambition is what a warrior should have!"
"Xingyan has already scored six points. Even if we give up the first round, we can still advance steadily by winning one of the next two rounds."
"I think Xingyan's approach is too unwise. If we encounter strong enemies on the Qianlong List in the next two rounds, we will capsize in the gutter, and the gains outweigh the losses."
…
There was a lot of discussion among the people, with mixed praise and criticism.
The four powerful Qianlong heroes were quite complimentary, and even Sword Bones nodded in approval. This is the magnanimity a warrior and a gentleman should have.
to this end!
Jianyu took the lead in winning the first round without winning any battles, and then the fifth group of contestants immediately took up their places. They must pay attention to efficiency.
When Duandao and the others saw Lin Chen returning, they asked in confusion: "Brother Xingyan, are you too merciful? That guy is so hateful, if he turns over, he will be a nuisance."
"Yes, if we encounter this guy in the second round, we will be the unlucky ones." Feng Ying sighed bitterly.
"Don't think too much. Now those Sword Sect disciples probably have a grudge against us martial artists. As long as they meet Sword Sect disciples, they will never be polite to us." Jiang Liu said sternly.
"You need to be ambitious to be a man. We have traveled around the world for many years, and have we ever been afraid of anyone?" Bai Feng said in a strong tone.
"Sorry, I didn't think well." Lin Chen apologized.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a defeated soldier. Even if we meet this guy in the second round, he may not be able to defeat us easily!" Duandao said with a strong voice: "Watch the battle carefully. Know yourself and the enemy. If you fight a hundred battles, you will not be in danger, so that you can prepare for the second round of preliminaries.
Prepare for war."
"Well, now it's my turn to cheer you up." Lin Chen nodded and smiled. He didn't think about the opponent he met in the second round, but he was always worried about the hidden demon thief in his heart.
at the moment!
The four fighting stages all staged fierce battles.
"No. 23 wins, No. 24 loses, next group!"
"No. 45 loses, No. 46 loses, next group!"
"No. 67 wins, No. 68 loses, next group!"
…
Some people won and some lost, and the game situation was quite exciting. As long as the victory or defeat was one point, they would immediately change to a new group, which was extremely efficient.
Because there was still a certain amount of time before the second round of group preliminaries, Lin Chen watched the battle carefully and did not miss every matchup. Because the winner of each group may become his opponent, and the hidden demon thief may also
It may be possible to expose the truth.
As for Jianyu, in order to cope with the last two rounds of the competition, it is necessary to win completely to advance steadily. Therefore, I left the venue early and went to the Sword Spirit Room to practice and recuperate.
As the martial arts competitions continued one after another, Lin Chen also saw several acquaintances.
For example, Sima Tianqi and Yunyue, although their cultivation level was not high, fortunately the opponents they encountered were not strong, and they both successfully gained three points.
Then came Duandao and the others. Except for Jiang Liu's unlucky luck, they met a powerful opponent on the Qianlong Ranking who was also a disciple of the Sword Sect, and they were defeated in just a few moves. If they were defeated in the first round, the pressure of the next two rounds of preliminaries would be too much.
It has to go up.
Therefore, the group preliminaries are very fair and require a certain amount of luck. As long as you don't encounter a strong player on the Qianlong Ranking and your own strength is not bad, you can basically cope with the first round of preliminaries.
Even the strong Han Lin was selected into the Qianlong Ranking and was defeated. There were also some weak ones who successfully advanced to the first round.
However, the group preliminaries are based on points, and the ranking is determined by the total value of the final points. Even if you lose in the first round, you may not be eliminated. For example, if Lin Chen has given up one round on his own, he must be stable in the second round.
Only by winning can you advance steadily.
"I won! I gained three points!"
"It's really unlucky that I met a strong person on the Hidden Dragon List, so I just gave up."
"It's okay. Keep up the good work. There are still two rounds of preliminary rounds. There is still a chance."
…
The competition was fierce, and there was a lot of excitement outside the stadium. Some people congratulated each other, while others were dejected. It can be said that half of the people lost in the first round of preliminaries.
Lin Chen carefully observed the competition of each group of players. The quality of the competition for the Qianlong Ranking was still very high, and there were basically no weak players.
It's a pity that Lin Chen, after observing for so long, still didn't notice anything abnormal, and said secretly: "This demon thief is quite hidden, so you'd better not run into me!"
Enough!
Lasting for most of the day, there were a total of fifty competitions, and the winners and losers were determined. And the fighting orders in each person's hands had corresponding points records, so no one could take advantage of them.
After the first round, Jiangu appeared again and said loudly: "Congratulations to all the contestants who won the first round. I hope you will have a better performance. And the contestants who failed in the first round do not need to be discouraged and keep up their efforts in the next two rounds.
"
After a pause, Jiangu continued: "The second round of preliminaries will be a key promotion match. The lottery method is one group of winners and one group of losers. The matching opponents in each group are random.
The person in charge of each arena is responsible for the random selection. Of course, you will have half an hour of rest time to adjust your condition in preparation for the second round of preliminaries."
"Finally I can rest!"
"Yeah, I really lost a lot of energy in the first round."
"The second round of preliminaries will be more fair. The winner's chance of encountering a strong opponent will increase significantly, and the loser will have to directly decide the promotion spot."
…
Everyone sat cross-legged and retreated in place to recuperate. After all, the spiritual energy in the Sword Sect was abundant, and recovery had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Chen is on the losing side, and he is in the same group as the losing side. The chance of meeting a strong person is relatively small, so there shouldn't be much problem in advancing steadily.
on the contrary!
Although Jianyu is the winner, there are many strong enemies in the same group. Jianyu is now seriously injured, and it is not easy to win steadily. Therefore, Jianyu must recover his energy as soon as possible.
Lin Chen did not waste his training time. Although he only had half an hour to rest, he spent most of the day in the dreamland.
In a dream!
Lin Chen accumulated his cultivation and carefully recalled the battle with Jian Yu. After all, he had just obtained the Qingyuan Sword Gang, and Lin Chen could not use it as he wished. He just took advantage of the intermission to further consolidate his cultivation.
a long time!
Half an hour later, a fighting bell rang.
Soon!
All the warriors woke up one after another, each of them looking excited and full of fighting spirit.
Jian Gu also arrived as scheduled, appeared again, and said loudly: "Everyone, the time has come, I guess you can't wait, right? The second round of preliminaries is also held by four groups at the same time. The supervisor of each group will immediately arrest
Take, as long as the contestants you think of must immediately go to the corresponding martial arts arena to prepare for the battle, failure to wait after the deadline will result in abstention!"
Soon!
The persons in charge of the four martial arts arenas began to randomly select contestants.
"In the first group, the opponents are No. 8 and No. 52!"
"In the second group, the opponents are No. 13 and No. 25!"
"The third group, the opponents are No. 48 and No. 84!"
"The fourth group, the opponents are No. 3 and No. 76!"
…
Players from each group made announcements one after another.
"number 3?"
"Xingyan again?"
"I wonder which unlucky person will encounter this monster called Xingyan?"
…
Everyone was in awe, because Lin Chen was in the first round, and they were deeply impressed by Lin Chen's fighting number.
"It's me again?" Lin Chen frowned, but still climbed onto the fighting stage honestly.
But I don’t know!
When the contestants of each group took their seats, the martial arts stage where Lin Chen was sitting was empty again.
"who?"
"Did you just give up?"
"Yes, there are not many strong players in the losing team, but when faced with the monster Xingyan, there is no chance of winning. It is indeed wise to just abstain. I just don't know who is the unlucky guy?"
…
Everyone was curious, and it was not surprising that some people chose to abstain.
At this time!
Among the crowd, Jiange tightly grasped the Dou Ling in his hand, wanting to cry without tears.
What a tragedy!
Isn't No. 76 the unlucky guy that everyone calls him? Could it be that bad luck is also contagious?
