When Lin Ze came out of the Jianyi room, he heard the loud roaring in the distance. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the ranking match in the inner courtyard had begun. ※※
"It hasn't been long. If you rush over now, you might be able to see the opening ceremony." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded next to him.
Lin Ze turned around and saw that the person speaking was the deacon in charge of Jianxin Pavilion. Lin Ze was quite grateful to this deacon, but he didn't know him well. He only knew that his surname was Su.
He immediately laughed and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go in this state. For such a big event as the inner courtyard ranking match, no matter what, I have to take a shower and change clothes first."
From the time he came out of the virtual world to now, he was still wearing the bloody clothes. He had not cared about it before because he was eager to break through the boundaries, but now that he relaxed his mind, even Lin Ze himself could not stand the smell of blood on his body.
"When you came here before, you looked very anxious, but now you are quite leisurely." Deacon Su teased.
Lin Ze chuckled. He was only anxious about his own strength, but he was not anxious at all about the competition. Even if he did not catch up with the start time of the inner courtyard ranking competition, as long as he arrived before the end, his challenge qualification would not be lost.
.
Deacon Su obviously understood this, so he said no more and said jokingly: "Did you know that you now have a very arrogant nickname?"
"Nickname?" Lin Ze was startled, "Killing ten thousand people?"
After completing the mission of killing ten thousand people, it is not surprising that he would be given this title.
But Deacon Su raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "It's too vulgar to kill ten thousand people. Now others call you the white devil Lin Ze!"
"White Devil?" Lin Ze was confused, "What does this nickname have to do with me?"
"Why doesn't it matter?" Deacon Su rolled his eyes at him, "When you came from the mission hall before, you were murderous and menacing all the way, as if a devil was born. Don't tell me you have forgotten it."
"Uh!" Of course Lin Ze will not forget it, but is it really okay for him to be given such an awesome title as the White Devil just because of this? How does he look like a devil?
"Forget it, white devil or black angel, you can call me whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me anyway." Soon, Lin Ze's expression returned to normal and he smiled.
Not long after bidding farewell to Deacon Su, Lin Ze actually returned to his dormitory, soaked in the water for most of the day, took a clean bath, and had a full stomach, then ignored everything and fell asleep.
The continuous practice some time ago actually made Lin Ze feel huge fatigue, but because he was at the limit of breakthrough, his mental method relaxed. At this moment, the practice was completed, and as his spirit relaxed, the fatigue also completely disappeared.
Come up... Not to mention anything else, just to cope with this Inner Court Qualification Challenge, he needs to take a good rest in order to restore his condition to the most perfect state.
At the same time, the inner courtyard ranking match has been going on for a long time, and the battle is also in full swing.
The process of the competition is basically the same as the ranking match in the outer courtyard. It is also divided into three matches. However, because the number of people in the inner courtyard is smaller and there is a distribution of forces in the inner courtyard, every game is one-on-one.
Battles are divided into ten arenas, and the quotas are randomly selected for battles. Each person can fight up to ten battles per day, and there will be a total of three days of eliminations.
The competition in the inner courtyard is based on points. Each win will result in a plus point, and a loss will result in a loss of one point. After three days, when the elimination round is over, if the score reaches ten, you can enter the second round of preliminaries. If the score is negative, you can enter the second round.
If it reaches ten, then it can only be eliminated.
But this time, something is a little different. The top ten from the outer court who originally only had challenge qualifications and could not participate directly, this time directly joined the knockout system, and their victory or defeat in the knockout round was used as their selection for the inner court.
In other words, if they accumulate negative points in the knockout round, it means they have failed the challenge and have to return to the outer academy to practice for another half a year. If they can accumulate positive points, they can officially become students of the inner academy even if they cannot enter the qualifiers.
.
The pace of the knockout rounds is very fast. After all, there are so many masters in the inner courtyard, and the strength gap between the upper and lower ranks is very obvious. Most people fight against those at the top, and just one move is enough to determine the winner. So, it’s time
In the afternoon, most of the knockout rounds on the first day were already underway, and many people had finished the ten games early.
Although the results on the first day are not enough to explain everything, it also determines their ending to a large extent.
For example, Zheng Chao, Qin Qi and Xu Jie only won one game in this half-day game, and then lost consecutive games. Now they have accumulated five negative points. If this trend continues, they will be eliminated.
It's inevitable.
They can also be considered well-known figures in the outer courtyard. They are called perverts by math students. In the inner courtyard, they are just the bottom. There are too many people, and one move is enough to deal with them.
These three people have participated in the Inner Court Challenge for two years, but have never succeeded once. This time the rules were changed, they thought there would be hope, but they did not expect that the final result was the same as before, which made them a little disappointed.
At this time, they truly realized the difference between the inner court and the outer court.
But on the other hand, Wu Xing, who was originally No. 1 in the Outer Court and now No. 2 in the Outer Court, had an extremely terrifying record in this Inner Court Ranking Tournament... Five battles, one defeat, and a total of five points!
If such a result appeared on an inner court student, it would not be a big deal, but if it appeared on an outer court student, it would be shocking enough. What is shocking is that the inner court student who was defeated by Wu Xing,
One of them is still in the top 500.
Doesn't this mean that Wu Xing already has the strength to break into the top five hundred in the inner court?
Many people couldn't believe it, and then they thought that Wu Xing was not the strongest in the outer court. There was Lin Ze above him. Since even Lin Ze had such strength, what about Lin Ze?
When he thought that Lin Ze had completed the task of killing ten thousand people that no one had ever completed before, he burst out like a demon, bathed in blood, and his shocking murderous aura shocked the entire audience. In just a moment, the words "White Demon Lin Ze" spread throughout the inner and outer courtyards.
, many people feel tremendous pressure and threats.
It's just that up to now, more than half of the game has gone on, but Lin Ze still hasn't appeared. While a few people are happy, it also makes many people sigh.
Although Lin Ze will not lose the qualification for the competition, if he still does not show up when it is his turn to compete, he will be given a negative score. If Lin Ze does not show up today, it means that his score will be negative ten points.
, in this case, the result can be imagined.
On the other hand, except for Wu Xing, Xiao Ming and several Xiu performed very well. Xiao Ming's opponents were not very strong and he has only lost two out of six games so far. Lin Xue and Su Yun each encountered internal difficulties.
The top 100 players in the hospital currently have three wins and two losses, with one point accumulated. The Lei brothers have three wins and three losses, with exactly zero points.
"The seventh arena, Lin Ze vs. Li Qing...Lin Ze still hasn't come?" After a while, the judge presiding over the seventh arena called Lin Ze's name again. After waiting for a while, Lin Ze didn't come on the stage, and suddenly said,
"Lin chose to abstain, and Li Qing automatically won."
When the judges said these words, Lin Xue, who was waiting for the competition below, couldn't help but glance at the huge scoreboard next to her. At this moment, the name Lin Ze had already accumulated negative nine points.
Even someone as indifferent as her could not help but frown tightly at this moment.
"Sister Lin Xue, why hasn't he come yet? If this continues, there is no hope at all!" Next to Lin Xue, Su Yunman said anxiously.
Although the two were fighting fiercely in the outer court rankings, at this time, they were both challengers in the outer court, but they belonged to the same camp. At this moment, they were also worried about Lin Ze.
With Lin Ze's strength, it would be a real pity if he lost the game because of this.
Lin Xue shook her head. There was nothing she could do about this matter. The change in the rules of this challenge came too suddenly. She didn't know until the beginning of the game that the rules were different from the past. She couldn't even notify Lin Ze.
.
"Alas, Lin Ze is finished."
"Yeah, even if he arrives now and starts with minus nine points, it will definitely be fatal. Let alone making it into the preliminaries, I'm afraid he won't even be able to maintain a positive score."
"What a pity. I originally wanted to see how strong he would become after completing the mission of killing thousands of people."
In addition to Lin Xue and others, there were many people in the inner courtyard who were also paying attention to Lin Ze's points. Some people shook their heads secretly, and of course some were thankful.
In the end, until the end of the first day of the competition, Lin Ze still did not show up and lost ten points.
In the eyes of many people, Lin Ze's path to the inner court was basically over.
As soon as the game ended, Lin Xue hurriedly left the field and rushed to the outer courtyard as quickly as possible to the dormitory where Lin Ze lived. But just after opening the courtyard door, when she saw the people standing in the courtyard, her whole body was filled with excitement.
Everyone was stunned.
In the courtyard, a girl in white clothes stood. The girl had a beautiful face, a temperament as cold as ice, and an air of a strong person that made people look up to her.
"Yuanji?!"
Lin Xue subconsciously exclaimed that the girl in front of her was Wang Yuanji.
"Long time no see." Wang Yuanji said lightly.
Although the two of them entered the Sword Martial Arts Academy at the same time, Wang Yuanji entered the inner courtyard from the beginning, and because of Lin Ze's incident, they were busy practicing almost all day long. During the year at the Sword Martial Arts Academy, they almost
Never met once.
Listening to Wang Yuanji's indifferent voice, Lin Xue instinctively felt that the other party was different from before, but she couldn't care less at this time and quickly asked: "Why are you here? And, where is Lin Ze? Has he come back?
?”
…
I am very stuck today. I have been writing this chapter for five hours and I feel very out of shape. I will continue with the third chapter tomorrow. Every time I finish the third chapter, my state will be much better. I hope it will be the same tomorrow.
