After the opening ceremony, the much-anticipated Tianling Awards began!
Today's game is particularly critical, because as the first day of the new competition system, everyone's performance today is likely to directly affect the overall trend of the subsequent games.
Yun Xi looked at the schedule and checked today's games. Li Zixiao participated in the Battle of Daoshan, which is also in line with her positioning.
After all, she is a cultivator who majors in spiritual power and swordsmanship. A battle competition like the Battle of Swords and Mountains is the most suitable for her to participate in, but... Yun Xi doesn't know what kind of ranking she can get. p>
There are nine groups in the group stage. Each group has a favorite to win the championship. Group A is from Jingxu University, which is from Jingxu County, Xuzhou. Like Tianling University, their ten players are all spiritual beings. Their captain
His name is Xu Jiuzhou, and his realm is also the middle stage of the early spiritual stage.
As if it had been agreed upon, each of the No. 1 seed teams in the nine major counties has a player who is in the early to mid-stage of the Spirit. This is a situation that was unimaginable in the past.
"Dong——"
The ancient bells are ringing in all directions, and the Tianling Festival is about to officially begin.
The six competitions were carried out in sequence, and the first one was naturally the shadow-chasing tower. Fifteen contestants wore uniforms from their respective universities and came to the competition stage. Under the gaze of everyone, they stepped into the secret space one after another. p>
The moment all the contestants stepped into the secret space, the host Tan Tian took a step forward and waved his hand gently. Clouds and mist rolled in the sky in the spiritual field, and smooth mirror-like images appeared in front of all the audience.
Everyone looked up at the picture above. In the picture, the fifteen people entering the secret realm were separated by a certain distance, and a dark shadow appeared in front of them.
【Please start route planning.】
The mechanical human voice not only sounds in the secret realm, but can also be heard by outside audiences and people watching the live broadcast.
Fifteen contestants held items for planning their routes. Before the ten minutes were over, everyone had already submitted their own routes.
And when everyone has planned the route, the game will start early.
【Three, two, one, the game begins!】
Boom boom boom boom——
The ground shattered, and a sound exploded instantly. Fifteen spiritual beings rushed out at this moment. Some of them rushed forward, heading towards the finish line.
And some people rushed directly towards their opponents not far away.
Before the start of the competition, major universities have investigated each other's information. For those players who do not have an advantage in speed, it is a good idea to attack those players who have the best chance of winning a good ranking at the start.
A very effective method.
This game allows players to initiate battles with each other, so in the Shadow Chaser Tower, the competition is not just about speed.
Maple!
Spiritual power surged, several figures fought with each other, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
In the stands, all the spectators opened their eyes slightly. No one expected that at the beginning of the game, the situation would develop far beyond everyone's expectations.
At the place of prayer, Yunfeng looked at the information in his hand and at the fifteen figures in the illusion.
The projection in the illusion of space is very thoughtful. The most intense scene stands in the center of the screen, and there are small split screens around it, showing those who have not attacked others and have not been attacked.
A scene of crazy running.
At the top of the projection, there is a horizontal screen. There are only light spots on the horizontal screen, indicating the locations of all contestants, allowing the audience to see the real-time rankings.
Yunfeng looked at the light spots on the horizontal screen, then looked at each of the screens, and said: "The person running at the front is actually a contestant from Guming County! The contestants from Jingxu County were entangled by people from other counties.
, the variables in this shadow-chasing tower shape are greater than we imagined!"
Teacher Mu Haisheng from Tianyuan University said: "But it is thanks to them that Qiao Chang actually ran into third place."
In order to slow down the players from the county high schools, some people also slowed down their speed, and this situation caused other players who were concentrating on their way to directly lead the way.
Qiao Chang from Tianyuan University is one of them.
"If we can keep this up, we may not be able to achieve good results in this first round of shadow-chasing towers."
Gu Qin pursed her lips and looked nervously at the chase on the field.
She has led a total of nine Tianyuan students to the Tianling Awards, but they have never broken through the group stage. This year can be said to be their best chance. Whether they can seize it depends on themselves.
Yong Ming, who was sitting in front, heard their conversation and shook his head: "It's not that easy. The foundation of the nine major counties is much stronger than you think."
The moment Yongming finished speaking, the situation on the field changed instantly!
The Jingxu University player who was attacked by others decisively attacked and counterattacked the attacker in just a few rounds. Then he turned around and disappeared into the sky into a line of light and shadow. The speed was so fast that it was shocking.
Click your tongue!
"What a fast speed!"
To the outside world, players from other universities all exclaimed that the strength and speed displayed by the players from Jingxu University were stronger than what they had investigated!
Seeing this scene, Yun Xi turned to look at Ye Nianhan beside her, casting a questioning look.
Ye Nianhan looked at her, blinked his eyes, and smiled slightly.
Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ye Nianhan's natural advantage still gave her a lot of confidence.
Yunfeng didn't know that the children were communicating with each other with their eyes, and said to himself: "The background of the county's colleges and universities is much higher than ours, but it's normal. You don't need to take it too seriously. When it's our turn to compete, calm down."
Mentality, just try your best."
"I understand, second uncle, don't worry."
Yun Xi responded to everyone's gazes and continued to watch the battle.
Just like what Yong Ming said, after the players from Jingxu University got rid of the entanglement of others, they started a crazy pursuit.
In such a competition system, the biggest difference between the teams from the nine major counties and the teams from other universities is that their number of spiritual players is much higher than that from other universities. The advantage of this is that they can have more choices.
Among the ten spirit masters, there is always one who is faster, and there is always one who has better formations, because in these top universities in the continent, the training of students is often very comprehensive, so they are more relaxed when choosing contestants. Unlike Qi Feng and others, they can only fix the contestants of each competition, and there is no room for coordination between them.
This is the gap caused by background.
Therefore, even if the competition system changes, the advantages of the nine major counties are still there. Unless winning or losing is determined by punching, otherwise as long as they rely on personal strength, they will never be at a disadvantage.
The duration of the shadow-chasing tower competition is not too short. Attacks by spiritual beasts on the road, environmental interference, and fingerprints at gathering points will all affect the progress of the contestants.
After the initial battle, the fifteen contestants began to fight on their own and galloped towards the finish line.
Everyone's speed is different, and their chosen routes are different, so it is naturally difficult to meet them in a short period of time. Everyone is watching the game seriously. After being entangled and lagging behind at first, the players from Jingxu County just used
It took ten minutes to catch up.
He broke into the top four in one fell swoop. In front of him were the first three runners, one of whom was Qiao Chang from Tianyuan.
Time gradually passed, and when everyone passed the sixtieth floor, everyone held their nerves.
Because between the 60th and 80th floors, there are only four entrances to each floor, and the internal area will be smaller than before. At this time, the probability of the players meeting will be greatly increased!
Sure enough, at a certain intersection on the 64th floor, the player named Shu Tan from Jingxu University met Qiao Chang from Tianyuan.
When this scene appeared, the director in charge of the screen projection was very knowledgeable and directly enlarged the scene of the two people meeting to occupy the middle position.
Seeing this scene, people in Fengyun County immediately clenched their fists nervously and watched the game on the field without blinking.
In the picture, Shutan appears from behind Qiao Chang. After nearly twenty minutes of galloping, their physical strength has been exhausted. In order to make the final sprint, they looked at each other and chose to stagger each other.<
/p>
The expected battle did not happen. Everyone was a little regretful, but they were not surprised.
Because at this point, if you still think about hindering others, you will only help others in the end.
However, after this encounter, Shutan naturally surpassed Qiao Chang, and Qiao Chang fell to fourth place.
Qiao Chang watched helplessly as Shu Tan surpassed him, but after all, there was no movement. This was not a battle, and force was not the best way to solve the problem. What he had to do now was to retain as much of his spiritual power as possible, and in the last ten seconds
Start sprinting when you reach the next level.
In the stands, Tianyuan's teachers and students felt helpless and relieved. After all, Qiao Chang's current ranking is still good, fourth.
The game continued, and more and more people met each other. At first, everyone would stagger each other, but later on, more and more people met, and a group fight started.
At the two intersections on the 90th floor, Qiao Chang met someone again, and another person came up from behind him!
This time, after Qiao Chang took a deep look at the other party, his spiritual power suddenly exploded. His whole body instantly burst out with his final strength and rushed forward as fast as possible!
When the latecomers saw Qiao Chang's actions, they immediately began to release all their spiritual power and began to pursue them vigorously.
In the last ten floors, there will be no more than five gathering points on each floor. Everyone will choose the shortest route as much as possible, so when they come up from the same entrance, their subsequent routes will have a high degree of overlap! Qiao Chang and the latecomers obviously knew this, so the former galloped hard and the latter pursued desperately.
Until a certain moment, a sharp neighing sound echoed in the clouds and mist, and a fiery red figure broke through the clouds and mist, attacking the shadow behind Qiao Chang who was running ahead.
The appearance of this spiritual beast immediately shocked people. Qiao Chang wanted to speed up and pull away, but by now, his speed had already reached its extreme, and there was no way he could go any faster.
With no choice, he could only dodge and dodge. The twist of his body at high speed made Qiao Chang's footsteps suddenly stop. And with this stop, the newcomer behind him immediately surpassed him and flew towards a higher floor.
!
Qiao Chang was angry and helpless, so he had to quickly adjust his body shape and speed up again.
Such an incident made everyone in Tianyuan High School clapped their legs and exclaimed, sighing that Qiao Chang was so unlucky, but no one had any intention of blaming him.
Because they all know the strength of their teammates, he has exceeded everyone's expectations by being able to rank high in the last ten floors.
In the last few floors, the contestants who met finally started fighting. The battle between several spirits was extremely fierce. After their shadows were attacked, many people simply did not wait for their shadows to recover, but ran directly to destroy them.
The shadows of others drag each other down.
After more than 40 minutes of the game, the Shadow Tower rankings for the first round of Group A came out.
The first place is the third seed Mingyue University from Tianling County, the second place is Shu Tan from Jingxu University, which was initially entangled by everyone, the third place is the second seed Yuanting University from Jiangming County, Yuezhou County, and the fourth place is
The name is Wanghai University, the third seed in Hanling County, Hanzhou County.
Tianyuan University ranks fifth. This is a result that exceeds everyone's expectations. However, it still makes everyone feel regretful that it failed to enter the top four.
Compared with Tianyuan's results, Yun Xi was more surprised in another aspect.
"In the first round and the first game of Shadow Chasing Tower alone, the top four are all teams from the nine major counties..."
Her eyes flickered, and she still found this result a bit unbelievable. Those No. 1 seeds from other universities couldn't even make it into the top five. Is this the foundation and confidence of the general county?
"The overall strength of the general county is really too strong."
Nangong Yao looked at the rankings on the ranking list and could only sigh helplessly.
Although Yunfeng and Qin Susheng had repeatedly emphasized to them the power of the commander-in-chief before, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still found it difficult to breathe.
It is extremely difficult to grab a spot in the knockout rounds from these teams.
After Qiao Chang came out, he saw his ranking and felt deeply regretful. He was only a little short of being in the top four, although even if he was in the top four, Tianyuan University's hope of advancing to the knockout rounds was still very slim. p>
But as long as it can be done, that is enough.
Tianyuan's friends, except Li Zixiao, all came to comfort Qiao Chang. For them, and for Qiao Chang, who is not known for his speed, it is already worth it to get such a result in his first show.
Praise for the performance.
Qiao Chang walked up to Li Zixiao, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, captain, I failed."
Others looked at Li Zixiao nervously.
As team members, they know very well how much Li Zixiao wants to prove herself in the Tianling Awards. Her talent is not as good as those of innate spirits. In order to catch up with those people, she practices day and night.
In the dragon and phoenix competition, Ying Nianling's unexpected appearance caused her to fall into the semi-finals.
Now is the more important Tianling Award, and her ambition is much greater than she shows!
Li Zixiao, who was sitting in the stands, raised his head and looked at Qiao Chang, who looked guilty. After being silent for a while, he suddenly said something that was beyond everyone's expectations.
