The first knockout round begins in an orderly manner.
Although Lin Chen was in the last group, he could still feel the cruelty of the knockout rounds.
Judging from the time, each group of matches lasted about half an hour, and many pharmacists could be seen leaving the field with bruises and dejection. They had at least reached seven or eight levels, and the elimination rate was high.
In particular, each round of knockout rounds carries great risks. There are many pharmacists who die in the knockout rounds, and the number of people who have passed each round is also reported.
"The first group is over. There are dozens of people who have passed the customs. The next group begins!" Pang Hong said solemnly.
ten people?
Everyone is feeling stressed.
"It's only the first round of knockout and it's so cruel, but there is no doubt about the strength of a pharmacist who can compete in three rounds of knockout!" Lin Chen thought to himself.
"The second group, there are nine people who have passed the level, the next group begins!"
"The third group, there are twelve people who have passed the level, the next group begins!"
"The fourth group, dozens of people have passed the customs, the next group begins!"
…
One group after another, the elimination rate remains high, and the competition is extremely cruel.
Taking into account the average elimination rate of each group, there are probably only a hundred or so people who can successfully pass the level in the end.
certainly!
There is no turning back for those who successfully pass the level, so no one who is not a contestant knows the rules of the competition?
In the lobby!
The atmosphere was tense, but Lin Chen seemed calm and composed, practicing leisurely and comfortably in the dreamland. Whenever he had free time, Lin Chen would never waste a single minute.
Enough!
After working for most of the day, we finally reached the last group where Lin Chen was.
After spending most of this day and practicing in a dream for more than half a year, Lin Chen's alchemy skills have improved to a certain extent.
"The eleventh group, there are nine people who have passed the customs, the last group is ready!" Pang Hong said solemnly.
From time to time!
Lin Chen and dozens of others entered the venue in order.
But see you!
There is a mysterious forbidden door that catches your eye.
In front of the forbidden gate!
A middle-aged man was responsible for supervising the guards. When all the contestants were in place, he announced in an official manner: "The first level, walking on thin ice, is to test your ability to control fire! You will enter the independent level set up in the Medicine King Hall.
Ice Domain, there will be great restrictions on you in the ice domain. You will not be able to display your martial arts abilities, and you will not be able to use any magic weapons! Everyone can only use spiritual fire to resist the ice air. As long as you reach the end,
You can pass the level! But if you fall into the ice lake during the process, you will be immediately eliminated. I wish you all good luck!"
After hearing these rules and restrictions, many pharmacists retreated.
"It's interesting." Lin Chen looked forward to it, eager to give it a try.
Each knockout round set up by the Medicine King Valley is extremely difficult, and it is definitely not comparable to the previous Fenyun Valley. This is not only to test the ability of a medicine master, but also a rare experience and practice.
Lin Chen only regarded it as an experience and did not dare to be interested in other participating pharmacists, nor would he take the initiative to cause trouble.
Soon!
After the rules of the competition were announced, the forbidden door opened, and Lin Chen and others entered in order.
really!
When entering the forbidden door, waves of biting cold air hit me directly.
See!
This is a world of crystal white snow. Looking around, it is made of a huge glacial lake. There is a thin layer of ice on the glacial lake, and the sky is full of ice and snow accompanied by howling winds.
What a strong cold!
The first reaction of the pharmacists was to feel a chill in their bodies and minds. If they want to withstand the cold air, they must at least reach the dragon fire level. If they just resist the cold air, it is not difficult as long as they control the dragon. The real test of difficulty is
The most interesting thing is the trip to the Ice Lake.
Because the ice on the glacial lake is very thin, if the heat cannot be controlled, the ice under your feet will easily melt, making it difficult to walk on the glacial lake. Moreover, you have to control the spiritual fire to resist the strong cold air at the same time, which is a great challenge for a person.
Medicine Master's firebending abilities.
This is what is called walking on thin ice.
Moreover, there are huge formation restrictions in the ice space. Firstly, one cannot use martial arts abilities, and secondly, one cannot fly in the air. It is completely mandatory that one can only walk on the ice lake.
At a glance, the ice lake is about five miles in diameter, but every step is difficult.
"It's only the first round of the knockout round and there's such a severe challenge. No wonder the elimination rate is so high!" Lin Chen thought to himself.
Not to mention the other pharmacists, all of them looked embarrassed when they saw the scene in front of them. As for the group Lin Chen was in, Lin Chen did not feel the existence of a particularly strong enemy.
Although there is no time limit, it is very difficult to pass the level.
Moreover, it can be seen that there are many humanoid ice sculptures on the ice lake, and they are obviously pharmacists who were frozen to death. It seems that the human life in the knockout round is definitely not unfounded.
Needless to say, seeing dozens of pharmacists frozen into ice sculptures made all the contestants turn pale with fear. Two pharmacists could not bear the tremendous psychological pressure and simply quit the competition.
"A bunch of useless righteous trash, you don't dare to leave, so I'll take the first step!" A potion master taunted and ignited a ball of blue flames all over his body. He was as light as a swallow and jumped into the ice lake.
.
"What a skill!" Lin Chen praised in surprise.
But see you!
The potion master had extremely strong fire-bending ability. While resisting the impact of the biting cold air, he sprinted across the icy lake, like a dragonfly touching water, with light steps and no trace on the snow.
"What a handsome skill!"
"Not only is his skill amazing, but his ability to control fire is as good as reaching the state of perfection."
"Why are we all standing there in a daze? Are we going to be robbed of the limelight by the demon disciples?"
"Yes! This devil is so arrogant, we must not lose the face of the righteous way!"
"Just die, you can't even dare to take a step out, then I still have the face to see the master!"
…
At first they were admired, but at the other they were angry. They all gathered up the courage to release various kinds of spiritual fires and began to step into the ice lake.
But compared to the potion master in front, these pharmacists behind are far less skilled. Every step they take is cautious and they try their best to control the changes in the heat.
"Ah!~"
With a scream, a pharmacist failed to control the heat, the ice beneath his feet melted, and he fell into the ice lake and was eliminated directly.
In order to be able to walk steadily on the ice lake, some pharmacists gritted their teeth and endured the invasion of the cold wind. In the end, the cold air broke through the body, and it was difficult to use spiritual fire to resolve it, and they could only be frozen into ice sculptures while alive.
This first level is indeed very difficult, but it is not stressful for Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen didn't want to be in the limelight, let alone reveal his strength early. So he controlled his own spiritual fire and walked step by step, unhurriedly.
Nowadays, every pharmacist is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river. He cannot protect himself, so he naturally has no intention of caring about others. But for fear of being plotted by others, every pharmacist intuitively keeps a certain distance.
But the potion master was still far ahead and was able to do it with ease.
certainly!
There are also master pharmacists in the righteous path. Although they are not as fast as the magician, they still walk steadily.
However, the two paths of good and evil have never been at odds with each other. Naturally, the potion master would not allow the following disciples of the right path to pass safely.
"Jie Jie, in the last group, no one except me can hope to pass the level!" The potion master smiled slyly and deliberately slowed down, causing ripples under his feet, billowing fire, burning the ice, and giving way to the right path behind him.
Pharmacists create obstacles.
"How despicable!"
"Can you bully people like this if you have the strength?"
"Despicable demon thief! Who cares about plotting? Do you dare to give us a fair fight?"
…
All the pharmacists yelled angrily.
"Haha! If you are not as good as others, you will be beaten. Who calls you useless!" The potion master shouted proudly: "It turns out to be the last group, so I will finish it! No one can think of it except me.
Walk past me! Of course, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I can still be reasonable and let you go!"
mean!
The pharmacists were filled with righteous indignation, and two of them, two of them who walked calmly and righteously, were naturally not willing to be controlled by the magician, so they jointly released spiritual fire to attack the magician.
pity!
The potion master was extremely skilled and had extremely strong fire-bending ability. He could move freely in the cold wind and thin ice. While easily dodging the spiritual fire attacks of the two righteous pharmacists, he launched a strong counterattack, forcing the two
A righteous pharmacist survives every danger and is unable to move forward.
For a pharmacist who is relatively weak, every step is difficult enough, and he has to control his own spiritual fire at all times. Naturally, he has to get out of the ice lake as soon as possible.
now!
Being obstructed by the potion master, some of the righteous pharmacists who were on the edge were directly beaten and eliminated.
When Lin Chen saw this, he frowned. He originally kept to himself and didn't want to cause trouble, but now it was obvious that the potion master had gone too far. Even if Lin Chen didn't think about others, he had to think about himself, and he didn't want to end up in the sewer at the first level.
