The first stage of the elite competition is an assessment of alchemy.
This alchemy assessment was different from the previous alchemy assessments that Jiang Chen had encountered.
In the past, Jiang Chen also participated in many assessments and competitions in the field of alchemy. However, the previous assessments in the field of alchemy focused more on the theoretical aspect.
The content of this assessment is entirely focused on practicality.
To put it simply, all the contents of this assessment are considered from a practical perspective.
For example, when you are injured in some way, what elixir should you use to mediate it, or what elixir should you take to recover.
For example, when you are poisoned by a certain kind of poison, how should you respond and what methods should you use to get rid of the poison? In other words, what methods should you use to avoid the poison?
There are ten questions in total in the assessment.
"If you complete eight or more of them, you will be considered excellent. If you complete seven, you will be considered average. If you complete six, you will be considered passing. If you complete five or less, you will be directly listed on the list of sixty-four people."
Although there is no specific scoring method for the first Guandan Dao assessment, there are still certain reference standards for the assessment.
If you cannot complete even five assessment questions, no matter how good your performance is in the second link, you will not be able to enter the list of 64 people in the third link.
If you have completed eight or more courses, your performance will be excellent and you will be given priority.
I have to say that the design of this question is much more reasonable than the content of many purely theoretical assessments. At least, the direction of this assessment is more practical.
When a monk travels in the world, practicality comes first. No matter how fancy alchemy skills or rich theoretical knowledge, if it has no practical value, it is just talk on paper.
Therefore, Jiang Chen still admires the person who came up with the assessment questions.
In any case, this topic is not about rhetoric or all kinds of big principles, but purely from a practical perspective, it discusses the skills and level of alchemy.
What can be put into practice is a high level.
Jiang Chen took it seriously and began to face these tests.
For Jiang Chen, questions of this level are actually not difficult for him.
However, Jiang Chen did not become arrogant or forgetful because of his superior level of alchemy. On the contrary, he was very cautious and serious about every question he answered.
This time, Jiang Chen also learned his lesson. He knew that if he behaved too evilly, he would inevitably attract attention from all parties.
Therefore, even though he clearly knew something, he was not in a hurry to do it. Instead, he pondered for a long time and sorted out all aspects of his thoughts before answering the question.
In this way, every question he wrote seemed to have been carefully considered, making it difficult for people to see many flaws.
Even so, Jiang Chen did not complete all ten questions. He knew that for this question, there was almost no one who could achieve the accuracy of eight or more questions.
If you behave too abnormally by yourself, you will inevitably become the standout.
Therefore, Jiang Chen did not pursue perfection willfully, and deliberately made some mistakes in two of the questions, so that his accuracy could only be maintained at eight questions.
For the remaining two questions, he seemed to be confused and confused them.
Jiang Chen would not miss anything with this assessment answer, and it would not appear too eye-catching.
After handing it in, Jiang Chen thought deeply and walked out of the assessment area. He was immediately taken to another closed area.
Obviously, those who have completed the assessment must not return to the previous scene. Otherwise, they may leak the questions and run the risk of cheating.
Therefore, Jiang Chen was taken to another strange place.
According to the rules, he came to the second area and waited here to participate in the second stage of the martial arts assessment.
This martial arts assessment is somewhat similar to the previous qualifying competition. It is also a breakthrough. The content of the assessment is also similar. However, the difficulty has been increased a bit.
It's obvious that they can't come up with any new tricks in this martial arts assessment, they just keep raising the level of difficulty.
Jiang Chen still followed his own pace and took his time.
In this way, in the second stage of the martial arts assessment, Jiang Chen once again passed the assessment items without any danger.
Moreover, the results are just right on the line of excellence.
As a result, Jiang Chen achieved excellent results in both Tao and martial arts assessments.
Excellent results were obtained in both aspects, which made Jiang Chen very confident.
"Alchemy and martial arts are both excellent. If I can't make it into the list of sixty-four people, I don't need to take any assessment."
As Jiang Chen expected, his number was among the final sixty-four, and he was selected to participate in the third round of elimination selection.
The elimination and selection of this third stage is the top priority this time.
The sixty-four-man roster needs to enter the last eight. All in all, three opponents must be eliminated in a row in this third phase of elimination.
Sixty-four entered the top thirty-two.
The top 32 entered the top 16.
Only the top 16 will compete for the final eight.
These top eight will be the greatest honor of this selection, and they will also be the eight people who benefit the most and receive the best treatment.
The sixty-four geniuses who entered the big list have already been gathered together.
There is no doubt that many people are in a very anxious mood right now. They all want the knockout round to start now.
Jiang Chen stood in a team of sixty-four people, still calm and composed, not too arrogant, not too conservative, and blended in just right, making people feel that he was not showy or revealing.
"Everyone, congratulations. You have made it this far. There is no doubt that you are much better than others."
"However, the selection competition is cruel. In the end, we will only select the eight best geniuses and award them with the title of enshrinement. Among you, the eight best geniuses will stand out! Who among you is it?"
"I don't know, and neither does the City Lord. But we are all waiting and seeing, hoping that you will show your best. Okay, now, let's enter the last numbering."
Now there are only sixty-four people left, so everyone naturally needs to renumber them.
This time, Jiang Chen was assigned the number 12, a quite satisfactory number.
"The reason why we finally selected a list of sixty-four talents is that sixty-four geniuses meet in pairs, and after three rounds, we can usher in the final eight."
"Okay, before the war starts in the third stage, there are some details that must be explained clearly."
"First, you are not allowed to use any kind of heaven-defying props, nor are you allowed to use your contracted beasts. This battle must be a martial arts contest between warriors."
"Secondly, there must be no cheating in any form in the knockout rounds. Otherwise, the city lord's palace has all the power to veto."
"Third, in this knockout competition, in order to encourage everyone to give their best, they must first sign a life-and-death contract, regardless of life or death. You can choose to stop there, or you can choose to quit. But one thing must be remembered, once a life-or-death situation arises
, you must take responsibility for yourself.”
These rules and regulations may sound a bit cruel, but they are clearly stated.
"Do you have any objections? It's not too late to raise any objections."
Everyone shook their heads. Obviously, these terms were acceptable to everyone. Only the third article was a bit cruel, but in the world of martial arts, everything must have risks.
If you want stability, don't come to participate in this selection. If you participate in the selection, you must have a certain ability to resist risks.
"Okay, now we are going to hold a draw. All of your numbers will be messed up. Each time two people are drawn, it will be a group of elimination matches. In the first round, there will be a total of thirty-two duels. The winner will be
, will enter the second knockout round.”
The person in charge made an announcement and the lottery drawing ceremony began.
Jiang Chen was in a calm mood. For him, no matter what opponent he got in this draw, he could accept it.
It is impossible for anyone to make it into the final list of sixty-four people. No matter what kind of opponent he encounters, it will not be a big problem for him.
Jiang Chen was assigned to number 12 this time and was drawn out of the 18th group of duels. His opponent was number 33.
Number 33 is a burly man.
In terms of size, this burly man can at least be ranked among the top three contestants. His iron tower-like body gives people a strong psychological impact.
After seeing his opponent, the man grinned at Jiang Chen.
"Boy, remember, my name is Wang Kui, burly Kui, Kui? Kui. It's not a shame for you to lose at my hands!"
Wang Kui's tone was carefree, but full of arrogance.
Seeing Wang Kui's confident look, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded: "See you on the stage."
Although Jiang Chen didn't know where Wang Kui got his confidence, Jiang Chen didn't care.
Thirty-two duels were drawn out one by one.
"Okay, all the duels in the first round have been drawn. Now, you all know who your opponents are."
"This duel will be held in four groups at the same time in four arenas each time. The thirty-two groups of duels will be completed in eight times. Remember your order of entry and there will be no delays!"
There are too many duels, and if they are dueled one by one, it will take too long. Obviously, this is not what the city lord's palace wants.
Now the City Lord's Mansion is extremely urgent about the selection. City Lord Xie Wushang means that the selection must be completed as soon as possible, and the results must be released as soon as possible.
Although everyone doesn't know why the city lord is so eager, since the city lord gave the order, he must obey it.
Therefore, this duel is not conducted one by one, but is divided into four stages, with four groups at a time.
Jiang Chen and the others are ranked eighteenth in the order of appearance. In other words, their order of appearance is still relatively low.
Wang Kui seemed to be putting pressure on Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally. He walked up to Jiang Chen and used his burly figure to frequently send provocative glances at Jiang Chen.
The fierce look in his eyes was undisguised, as if he wanted to scare Jiang Chen away through his eyes.
