There is no rest time between the three stages of the round-robin competition, because in nine months not only must three rounds of competition be completed, but enough time must be squeezed out to prepare for the revival competition.
In this not-so-long nine months, the first stage of the round-robin competition was actually the most relaxed.
In the second stage, after every ten promoted gangs are divided into one group, each gang will have to fight four battles with any opponent, and the schedule is extremely intensive, and there may even be a battle in the morning and afternoon.
Fighting situation!
Therefore, in the second stage, it is really time to test the overall strength and foundation thickness of each gang.
There are only five participating members, but there is no hard and fast rule about which five people must participate. So as long as you have enough strong people in your gang, you can definitely arrange several different participating lineups.
At the same time, after the first round of competition, almost more than 40,000 gangs have been eliminated, and the remaining 6,000 gangs are almost all medium-sized or above gangs in Flame City.
At the very least, it has to be at the level of the Sirius Gang, so the battle scenes will be far more intense than in the first cycle, and it will be more attractive to the audience!
There is one day of rest time before the start of the second cycle. This time is actually of little significance to these people in God's Domain. It is mainly used for drawing lots.
Entering the second cycle, 600 seeds will be drawn again.
Because in the first round, one of the gangs among the top 600 seeds in the previous qualifying competition accidentally failed in the first round, so the quota of one gang was postponed.
This is a relatively rare situation in previous qualifying tournaments. The top 600 seeds will almost never be accidentally eliminated in the first round.
After all, the intensity of the first round of martial arts competitions was very low, with a large number of low-level gangs filling it. Many gangs were even low-level gangs that could not even gather the five median gods, and there were fully five in each group.
In addition, any seed team that can become the top 600 in the qualifying competition must have a high-ranking god as its backbone.
It cannot be an ordinary high-level god. Basically, it must be at least a four-star fighting god or a high-level god close to the level of a four-star fighting god.
A gang with such a high-ranking god was actually eliminated in the first round of competition, and did not even make it into the top five. It is hard to imagine that in the first round of competition, more than five people could appear in a certain group.
A gang with four-star fighting god level warriors.
So something else must have happened, but no one really cared about what exactly happened.
Anyway, the seed gang that did not enter the second cycle is only a gang ranked more than 500. If it is in the top ten, it will really be big news.
As for Zunshengguan, who was sniped by Xuanpai in the first round, he easily entered the second round as the second place in the group.
The only problem is...according to a small rule related to the qualifying competition...Zunshengguan lost to the Xuanpai in the first round, so the seed position was replaced by the Xuanpai...
So when Qin Anyi appeared at the lottery venue...it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Since most of the gangs have been eliminated, the drawing ceremony for the second cycle will be held directly in the city lord's palace.
There is a huge square in the city lord's palace, and all gangs that have entered the second cycle must send representatives to participate in this lottery ceremony.
Only Qin Anyi from the Xuan Sect came here. Kong Sha had built up some reputation in the previous three months, so he didn't let him come with him.
As the relevant personnel of the City Lord's Mansion presided over the lottery ceremony, Qin Anyi, as a representative of the Xuan Sect, became one of the six hundred seed representatives. He stepped onto the lottery table and began to draw the group numbers for each of their seeds!
This situation has also occurred in previous qualifying matches. However, Zunshengguan's ranking is still relatively high, basically ranking around 200, so it can replace Zunshengguan as the seed, so that others will undoubtedly be interested in Qin Anyi.
Got a little more attention.
"Tsk, tsk, Xuanpai? What kind of gang is this? I've never heard of it?" Under the lottery table, many gang draw representatives were waiting and talking.
The most talked about thing here in the North District is the Xuan sect that replaced Zun Sheng Guan.
"I heard that it is a new gang with only a history of more than a hundred years. It seems that the gang got some bad luck and absorbed a powerful high-ranking god. In addition, Zun Sheng Guan somewhat underestimated the enemy. Facing Xuan Xuan,
During the sect, we just let their sacrifice come out, so we unexpectedly lost. Let me tell you, the strength of the Xuan sect shouldn't be a big deal, and the monsters can only respect themselves."
Another voice answered.
"I see... So, shouldn't this Xuan sect be the weakest among the six hundred seeds? If there is only one high-ranking god... there will be mandatory rules starting from the second round, and no more people are allowed to appear.
The situation of conquering the world must be achieved through a five-match-three-win format. So, if we can be grouped with this Xuan Sect... maybe we can enter the third cycle!"
Another voice spoke.
This voice obviously spoke to the hearts of many people. For a moment, the mood of the gang lottery representatives in the North District became a little strange. When they saw Qin Anyi drawing the group number represented by the Xuan Sect, they all started to
I pray in my heart... that I can be placed in the same group as Xuanpai!
Qin Anyi didn't care how many numbers he drew. It didn't make much sense at first, but after he finished drawing, he looked at the bright-eyed expressions among the people in the dark crowd under the stage, and he could roughly guess what they were thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a little...
funny.
Just as he stepped off the lottery table, he was suddenly hugged by two hands, and then his arm touched a warm and soft piece...
"Brother An Yi! Congratulations on breaking through the first cycle."
Li Meimei hugged Qin Anyi's arms completely in her arms, letting Qin Anyi's forearms completely sink into her tall chest, and said with a smile.
The look in Qin He's eyes made him want to kill Qin Anyi on the spot...
"Huh? You haven't left yet. I thought this kind of gang ranking competition in Flame City wouldn't attract your interest. Maybe it seems boring, so you should leave."
Qin Anyi was stunned for a moment and then said.
"How could it happen? It's so lively. I've lived for more than 1,200 years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a lively thing. Of course I have to finish it before leaving. Brother An Yi, I'm still waiting to see you win the championship.
"
Li Meimei chuckled.
"Win the championship? Just rely on them? Little girl, you are too naive."
