Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but look at the hunchbacked old man, his eyes full of awe.
If it weren't for the methods used by the hunchbacked old man, he would never have been able to achieve such a huge breakthrough. There is no doubt that this is a transcendent existence that far exceeds his imagination!
"Little guys, it seems that you have all benefited a lot."
The next moment, the hearty laughter of the hunchbacked old man rang out: "One year has passed, and now it is time to enter the final stage of the genius battle."
"Unlike the previous three stages, not all of you are eligible to participate in this final stage of competition."
"Next, I will select one hundred and sixty people from among you to compete for the places in the Eternal Palace and the Primordial Palace, while the remaining eight hundred and forty people will directly enter the Heaven and Earth Palace."
"What?"
"Only one hundred and sixty people are qualified to participate in the final competition, and the rest are directly thrown into the Heaven and Earth Palace?"
"How could this happen! Even if our strength is not enough to attack the Eternal Palace and the Primordial Palace, it is too much to not even give us a chance to fight!"
As soon as the hunchbacked old man said this, everyone was in an uproar, and many people looked in disbelief.
According to the rules mentioned by the hunchbacked old man, more than 80% of the thousand of them were directly eliminated, without even a chance to show their strength and fight!
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Be honest with me!"
Seeing the large number of geniuses making noise and agitation, the expressions of many leaders in the Star Territory suddenly sank, and a series of scoldings and angry shouts resounded.
In an instant, a terrifying aura of coercion suddenly spread, and the faces of many geniuses present turned pale under the pressure, and no one could speak anymore.
"I know that many of you find it difficult to accept such rules."
The hunchbacked old man's face remained calm as usual, and he said: "But I can assure you that these one hundred and sixty people are based on your performance in the third stage and the progress you have made in the past year.
The one hundred and sixty best people after comprehensive evaluation!"
"This method may seem arbitrary to you, but it is absolutely fair."
"Of course, if you really cannot accept such rules, you can also choose to withdraw from the headquarters of our Blood Evolution Tavern. We, the Blood Evolution Tavern, will never interfere in any way."
"this……"
The words of the hunchbacked old man immediately made everyone present feel like pouring cold water on them, and they all calmed down instantly.
If you don't accept the rules, you'll quit the Bloody Tavern?
You know, from the moment they participated in the Genius Battle of the Blood Evolution Tavern, they were already branded with the Blood Evolution Tavern.
Although the Bloody Tavern is not the only overlord-level force in the vast Beilin Holy World, how could they join other overlord-level forces after being branded by the Bloody Tavern?
Even if they wanted to do this, how could the other overlord-level forces accept them at the risk of offending the Bloody Tavern?
After all, the Blood Evolution Tavern is the overlord of the holy world. No matter how much they value geniuses, they still won't give in at all when they should be strong!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and many of them even looked sad.
Although the candidates have not been announced yet, they have realized that 80% of the 160 places are not for them.
"Next, all the people I selected will stand up. As for the remaining 840 people, although you are no longer qualified to participate in the next competition, you can still stay here and watch the competition to see the gap between you and them."
The hunchbacked old man's voice was calm, and his finger suddenly pointed forward, and rays of light suddenly roared out and landed on some of the geniuses in the square.
Soon, Jun Daosheng, Huang Liao, Guyero and many other powerful people were shrouded in this light, and Lin Yu was naturally no exception.
In just a few breaths, all one hundred and sixty people were selected, and although the remaining people felt sad and unwilling, they could only retreat aside obediently.
"The one hundred and sixty of you will first engage in four rounds of one-on-one battles. After the four rounds of duel, the remaining ten people will decide the five original palace places in a round-robin battle!"
"The five losers will directly receive five places in the Eternal Palace."
"In addition, the remaining 150 people will also fight in a circular manner to determine the remaining 55 places in the Eternal Palace!"
"Do you all understand these rules?"
"yes."
Lin Yu and others nodded immediately.
"In that case, let's get started."
The hunchbacked old man smiled slightly, waved his palm, and eighty arenas appeared out of thin air in the square. Then, Lin Yu and others were pulled by an invisible force and rushed towards the arena uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, one hundred and sixty geniuses were scattered among the eighty arenas. On each arena, there were two geniuses standing face to face.
"The people in the ring are your opponents in the first round. If you want to continue to advance, just deal with your opponents!"
The hearty laughter of the hunchbacked old man rang out, which immediately made all the geniuses in the ring shine with sharp gleams in their eyes.
"I know you, Xueyou!"
On the ring where Lin Yu was, a lean young man with a dark red sword on his back looked at Lin Yu, his eyes flashing with blood: "In the third stage of competition, you ranked ninth. This result is indeed very bluffing."
people."
"But after the previous year, my current strength is no longer what it used to be. I will definitely win this battle!"
As soon as the words fell, the lean young man's figure rushed directly towards Lin Yu, and the overwhelming bloody aura suddenly spread from his body, as if it was blood that could not be condensed.
boom!
At the same time, the dark red sword in his hand was slashed out directly, and the thick blood burst out crazily, turning into an astonishing bloody sword light, and slashed directly towards Lin Yu!
"The strength is good, but unfortunately, you are not the only one whose strength has improved this year."
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's expression did not change at all. He shook his head gently and said calmly: "Defeat."
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The next moment, the nine Xuemo Swords emerged together, tearing apart the bloody sword light in an instant, and then blasted in front of the lean young man at an astonishing speed.
"No!"
The face of the lean young man suddenly changed. He had no time to resist at all, and the nine Xuemo Swords had already penetrated his body!
