The second round of competition lasted longer and ended after a full seven days.
In the end, 127 people advanced to the third round.
"A total of one hundred disciples have been recruited. Currently, one hundred and twenty-seven have advanced to the third round. This means that about thirty more people will be eliminated and will miss the Haotian Palace." Someone said.
"Not necessarily." The person next to him shook his head and said: "There may be some people who give up their qualifications, and then the people behind will still have a chance."
"I forgot about this, it was a mistake, it was a mistake." The man just now smiled and scratched his head.
At this moment, Ren Xiao came to the void again, looked at the crowd below and said: "The third round of competition is a challenge. Everyone steps onto the battlefield at the same time. Those whose names are read will have a chance to challenge. If
If you give up the challenge, you will enter a pending state. If the person being challenged gives up or loses, you will also enter a pending state."
"The person who wins the competition will be qualified to become a disciple of Haotian Palace and does not need to compete again.
After the round, the referee randomly selects people from among the candidates to compete, the winner stays and the loser is eliminated."
As soon as the words fell, countless people trembled in their hearts.
Whether you are challenging others or being challenged by others, as long as you give up or are defeated, you will enter a pending state.
Although pending does not mean being eliminated, it does face great uncertainty. After all, the referee draws people at will, and no one knows who the opponent they will encounter will be.
If you encounter a hard fight, what will happen...
Therefore, if you want to successfully join Haotian Temple, the best choice is to challenge others and defeat them.
However, no matter how the rules change, it will not have much impact on those who are strong enough.
There is Xu Feng on the ninth platform, while Zhou Jing, He Chengzhou, Leng Wuyun and Hua Chen are on the eighth platform, and Chen Chi is also there. I don’t know who among them can make it to the end.
Of course, it is also possible for a dark horse to appear, which is unknown at first and does not attract much attention. It is not until the last moment that its true strength blooms and becomes a blockbuster.
"It's time to start." Ren Xiao said, then turned and returned to the high platform.
I saw silhouettes stepping onto the golden battle platforms. At this time, the number of people on each battle platform was different. Relatively speaking, the three battle platforms in the middle had the largest number of people, while the first and ninth battle platforms had the most people.
Minimum number of people.
There were not many people signing up for these two realms at the beginning, and a group of people were eliminated in the first two rounds of competition. Naturally, the fewest people came to the third round.
There were nine figures on the ninth battle platform, all of them were in the late stages of the heavenly realm. At this moment, a figure in green clothes walked to the center of the battle platform, and it was Xu Feng.
When they saw Xu Feng walking out, the expressions of the other eight people changed. They immediately realized what he wanted to do, and they all lowered their heads, as if they were afraid of being picked on by Xu Feng.
Xu Feng's gaze faintly swept across the eight figures around him, then landed on one of them and said, "It's just you."
The man raised his head and saw Xu Feng looking at him, his expression becoming quite ugly.
Being picked by Xu Feng only means being abused.
"I surrender." The man said very simply. Instead of being tortured, it would be better to preserve his strength and defeat his opponent in the next competition.
When he heard the other party admit defeat, Xu Feng's face remained as calm as water, as if such a result was within his expectation.
When the crowd saw the scene on the battlefield, they could understand what the man did. Being picked by Xu Feng, they could only say that he was very unlucky. In this case, it was a very wise choice to admit defeat.
Similar scenes appeared on other battlefields. When challenged by extremely powerful figures, the opponents took the initiative to admit defeat and put their hopes in the subsequent competition.
This situation occurs most often on the eighth platform, because there are several talented people on this platform, almost all of them are invincible beings in the same field. They are destined to lock in the top ten, and before they encountered
Those who are superior can only admit defeat honestly.
About two hours later, all nine battle platforms went through a round of selection.
Those who are still on the battlefield are all those who won the competition just now. In a sense, they are already disciples of Haotian Palace.
"There are a total of fifty-seven people on the nine battlefields. There are seventy people to be determined. Forty-three people have been selected from the seventy people. The situation is a bit fierce." Someone whispered, with a bit of excitement in his eyes.
meaning.
"Who says otherwise? Anyone who has made it this far is not a weakling. Those with the strongest abilities have already advanced. The next competition will be the most intense."
At this moment, several figures flew out from the high platform and landed on the fighting platform below. They were the referees responsible for the upcoming competition.
"You two, come up and compete." On the fifth stage, the referee casually pointed at the two figures below and said.
When their names were called, the two of them looked at each other, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes, and then their bodies flew onto the battlefield at the same time.
Without saying any more nonsense, the two of them directly released powerful attacks without any reservations. This was their last battle in this competition. If they won, they would enter the Haotian Palace. If they lost, they would be eliminated. They must fight with all their strength.
..
After a long while, the two finally decided the winner. One of them narrowly defeated his opponent, with a look of joy on his face. This competition was not in vain.
The competitions on the nine platforms were going on at the same time, and the eyes of the crowd below were constantly moving on the nine platforms, overwhelmed, as if they didn't want to miss every competition.
After more than four hours, the competition for all those who had yet to be determined was over. Thirty-five people stayed, including the fifty-seven people who had stayed before, for a total of ninety-two people.
In the end, according to the principle of ranking from high to low, eight people were randomly selected from those who were eliminated to fill in, and they were the top 100 in this competition.
Many people looked at the last eight people who took the place with great envy. They were obviously eliminated, but they were selected again in the end. Their luck was so good.
In fact, the eight people were also very surprised. They thought they had no chance at all, but unexpectedly, happiness suddenly came to them, and they were unable to react for a while.
Perhaps, this is fate.
At this moment, Xiao Muyang stood up from the throne, raised his feet and walked forward, reaching the sky above the nine battle platforms.
The space was silent, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make any sound.
Xiao Muyang looked at the crowd of hundreds of people below and said, "First of all, congratulations on your qualifications to become disciples of Haotian Palace. After that, Haotian Palace will select core disciples and inner disciples based on your performance in the competition.
"
"No matter whether the final result meets your expectations or not, I hope you can calm down and don't care too much. You still have unlimited hope for the future. As long as you practice hard, Haotian Palace will give you everything you deserve."
Although Xiao Muyang's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone below.
At this time, many people's hearts are boiling with enthusiasm, and their eyes are full of fighting spirit, hoping to show off their talents in the Haotian Palace and shine their own light.
But there are also some people who disagree with Xiao Muyang's words. In their view, Haotian Temple is just a newly resurrected force. Although it has been dazzling in the past, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. They should keep a low profile instead of saying something.
Empty words of great ambition.
Of course, they only thought about this in their hearts and did not say it in public.
"If any of you have given up the qualification to join Haotian Palace, you can raise it now." Xiao Muyang said again.
After hearing this, many people below had a strange look in their eyes. From what Xiao Muyang meant, could it be that they don't plan to rank in the top ten?
"Palace Master Xiao, the competition has not yet determined the top ten, is it over now?" At this time, an inappropriate voice came from the crowd of a hundred people, and the person who spoke was Xu Feng.
The crowd looked at Xu Feng with shock on their faces. Unexpectedly, Xu Feng questioned Xiao Muyang's decision in public, which was a bit tough.
Although Xu Feng was much stronger than Xiao Muyang, the latter was the master of Haotian Palace after all, so Xu Feng was a little impulsive when he wanted to question him.
Leng Wuyun, Zhou Jing and others also looked at Xu Feng. They all knew very well that Xu Feng wanted to win the first place in the competition, so they would rather offend Xiao Muyang than start a battle for the top ten.
Xiao Muyang lowered his head slightly, looked at Xu Feng from a distance, and said calmly: "When did the master of this palace say that he will not be ranked in the top ten?"
Xu Feng's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he heard this, and he vaguely understood Xiao Muyang's thoughts.
He wanted to identify the people who were willing to join Haotian Palace first, and then rank the top ten. In this way, the top ten would be Haotian Palace disciples, and there would be no others.
No matter who gets the first place, Haotian Palace's face will not be damaged.
It is indeed ‘thoughtful’.
"This move by the Palace Master is really noble. I admire it." Many elders of Haotian Palace looked at Xiao Muyang with admiration. They had never thought of this move before.
"Since it is a competition, everyone should be allowed to finish the competition. Now that the competition is not over yet, Palace Master Xiao has asked others to make decisions in advance. I don't know what is the reason for this?" Xu Feng asked again.
Everyone trembled in their hearts, and naturally they could see what Xu Feng was thinking. He didn't plan to join the Haotian Palace, but he wanted to win the first place in the competition.
Xiao Muyang couldn't help but frown a little. It seemed that Xu Feng was determined to have trouble with Haotian Palace.
After questioning his words twice in a row, it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously.
"If you withdraw after the competition is over, even if you can let those who were eliminated before take over, those people will also lose an opportunity to shine on the stage. Haotian Temple must ensure that every disciple is treated fairly.
After hearing Xiao Muyang's explanation, many people nodded slightly. Although this explanation was a bit far-fetched, it was also reasonable. As the master of Haotian Palace, he naturally had to protect the rights of every disciple.
Xu Feng's face turned a little colder. He didn't expect Xiao Muyang to give such an explanation, which left him speechless!
