When that ray of red appeared along with Tan Tian's voice, the members of the three teams in the lower half of the auditorium breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, they do not want to encounter another Tianling High School when there are already two other powerful enemies.
However, in comparison, the players from Jingxu University and Yiting University who were originally happy immediately became dissatisfied.
Originally, they were lucky that they didn't have any very strong opponents in this half of the district, but the next second Tianling High School announced that it would enter the top half.
It’s really uncomfortable.
After the Ji group, there is the Geng group.
Xue Yuanfang walked from the crowd, took out a small ball carelessly, and opened it without any delay.
A ray of blue is particularly eye-catching.
"Yunhai University, lower half area."
Compared with before, the sensation among the venues this time was relatively small.
Of course it's not because Yunhai High School is not strong, but because... I'm used to it, and the lower half of the district is already a doomed death zone.
At the place of prayer, Xiao Lingyuan propped up her chin and sighed, "Oh! I should stop Xiao Xi's broken mouth from now on!"
Ye Nianhan also smiled bitterly: "At least, I didn't meet Tianling University."
Even with the support of two top players, they are still very afraid of Tianling High School.
In contrast, the four of them, Li Xinyu, watched quietly, exchanging glances with each other, either helpless or longing.
The knockout round is a battle between spirits. Up to six players can participate in each battle. As warriors, they have fulfilled their responsibilities in the group stage.
How far Qi Feng can go next depends on Yun Xi and the others.
Perhaps God saw that the lower half was too miserable. In the final draw between the two schools, Cangling High School and Hanling High School both drew red and went to the upper half to meet Tianling.
In this way, after Cangling and Hanling schools joined the upper half of Tianling High School, which originally seemed to be unique, it also added a lot of excitement to the struggle inside.
After the drawing of lots for the first place, the drawing of lots for the second place in each group begins.
It's a little different from the first place draw. Because there are five teams in the top half, when it's the second place draw's turn, there are only nine small balls in the draw box.
There are only four places in the upper half and five in the lower half.
This is to balance the number of teams in the half zone.
The next three or four places will also be drawn in the same way as the first and second places.
Finally, when all the draws were decided, the sky was already much darker.
On the Fengyun County side, Qi Feng was in the lower half, while Fengyun High School was drawn in the upper half.
The knockout round schedule will not begin until August 21st, but the specific battle situation will not be released until tomorrow.
The reason why the schedule of the knockout rounds has been postponed is mainly due to concerns that some teams may have spent too much time dealing with the group stage during this period, and the teams may lack a little bit of running-in.
In order to give everyone time to adjust and prepare, the Tianling Alliance has thoughtfully arranged the knockout round a little later.
These ten days without competition are the time for everyone to discuss tactics and coordinate training.
As for teams that no longer have comparable games, they can decide by themselves whether to stay and continue watching the game or go back early.
Naturally, all the teams chose to stay. No one was willing to miss the opportunity to watch the battle at close range in the most special and powerful Heavenly Spirit Reward showdown in history.
The night after the group stage ended, Qi Feng did not have another meeting.
Because the specific schedule will not be released until tomorrow, it is obviously best to let everyone rest for a night before then.
It's just that Yun Xi's room was not peaceful that night.
"Na na! I told you that Xiao Xi should not be allowed to draw lots."
Xiao Lingyuan was wearing cool pajamas, and her fair and tender skin was generously exposed. She was lying on Yun Xi's bed, her beautiful and round calves swaying gently.
"Xiao Xi should not be allowed to speak."
Ye Nianhan also made a rare joke.
She was also wearing a gauze pajamas, holding her ankles with both hands, sitting cross-legged.
"Then why don't you go up and draw lots yourself?!"
After taking a bath, Yun Xi walked out of the bathroom and glared at them pretending to be angry.
Xiao Lingyuan said matter-of-factly: "Hey! Everyone else is going up as captain, I don't want to go up! Xiaoying should go up too."
In terms of strength, Ying Nian Ling is the only one in the team who can compete with Yun Xi.
Yun Xi glanced at the little white-haired girl lying quietly on the bed, her body stretched into a "big" character.
Ying Nianling is different from everyone else who is lively. Her life is very simple. In addition to eating, drinking, practicing, and sleeping.
Back at Lingtingju, everyone had just finished taking a bath together, but she was already asleep.
"Then it's too late for you to say now."
Yun Xi hummed softly, took off her slippers and climbed onto the bed with her bare feet, there were still a few drops of water on her beautiful feet.
Every night, Yun Xi's room always has a unique beauty, but it's a pity that others are not lucky enough to enjoy it.
Xiao Lingyuan did not continue this topic, and the teasing words were enough.
She took the initiative to change the subject and asked: "Has Li Zixiao decided which martial arts school to go to?"
Yun Xi shook her head: "Not yet, I'll ask you tomorrow morning."
Ye Nianhan thought about it: "She probably wants to wait for Xiao Xi to decide together before making a choice. With Zi Xiao's character, she will definitely not take the initiative to ask you which martial arts school you want to go to."
Xiao Lingyuan thought about the woman's cold look and nodded in deep agreement.
Yun Xi sat on the bed, thought for a moment and said, "If possible, of course I would rather go to Tianling Gaowu."
Tianling Gaowu is the top academic institution in the entire Tianling Continent. Once you enter it, you are basically half-stepped into the Tianling League, and the future is bright.
Although there may still be a demon saint personality in her body, in its current form, this personality obviously has no dominant ability.
Furthermore, since the other party came here to pursue the divine way, they naturally would not want to be exposed.
In this case, it shouldn't matter if you go to Tianling Gaowu. Besides, if you are destined to be exposed, it will be the same whether you are in Tianling Gaowu or other Gaowu.
Yun Xi doesn't think she can escape from the big guys of the Tianling Alliance.
What we have to do now is to improve our strength first, then find an opportunity to hug him, and then voluntarily confess his relationship with the demon saint.
As long as this hidden danger can be solved, Yun Xiaoxi's future will still be full of bright hope.
Xiao Lingyuan said without hesitation: "What's 'if possible'? With Xiao Xi's current level of talent, there won't be any problem even if she directly applies to join the Tianling Alliance, right? Unless those old guys have bad minds... Ugh!
”
Before Xiao Lingyuan finished speaking, two palms slapped her little red lips.
Yun Xi and Ye Nianhan both glared at her seriously.
Yun Xi said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Lingyuan also realized her disrespect just now and immediately nodded obediently.
She has been pampered at home for a long time, and calls her father "old man, old man, old man", and sometimes she will habitually speak like this.
Yun Xi looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no movement.
Then he stretched out his index finger and tapped Xiao Lingyuan: "If you said this outside, you would be ready to go to jail now!"
The Tianling Alliance is the absolute authoritative representative in the Tianling Continent, and the people's love and dependence on the Tianling Alliance is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.
Being able to rule the Tianling Continent for nearly tens of millions of years, the Tianling Alliance is not only powerful in strength, but its methods are also conceivable.
Yun Xi came from another world, and she had not been exposed to the Tianling Alliance since she was a child. Therefore, when she heard that the Tianling Alliance had been in charge of the Tianling Continent for thousands of years and had not collapsed, she was both shocked and a little scared.
In order to prevent the gossip from happening again, the three of them ended the topic in a tacit understanding.
Lying on the bed and gradually falling asleep.
……
……
The next morning, the schedule for the knockout rounds was announced.
The knockout rounds will begin on August 21st, with four games per day. The competition location is still in the secret realm of Zhutian Spiritual Field.
On the 23rd floor of Lingting House, Qifeng University and Fengyun University were both holding their own meetings.
In Qi Feng's conference room, Qi Feng's two teachers sat at the head of the table, next to ten contestants.
Yunfeng first looked at the schedule and said: "The knockout rounds begin on August 21st, but the first day is a battle in the top half. Our first game is on the 22nd, and our opponent is the second seed source from Jiangming County.
Yuanting University. Before we analyze Yuanting University with you, let’s first talk about the specific rules of the knockout rounds."
"The knockout tournament is a competition in the form of a battle, but it is not a simple ring battle on the competition ground like the Fengyun Tournament. The competition location is still within the secret realm."
"Both teams can only choose up to six players to participate in the competition, four of whom are the main players, and the remaining two are substitutes. If a player from the team is eliminated on the spot, the substitutes can come on to replace their own players.
."
"The secret battlefield is a huge maze. There are various mechanisms and monsters in the maze."
"There are two ways to end the game. The first way is that all six players of one team are eliminated, and the other team wins. The second way is that the game stipulates that each game can last up to one hour. If one hour passes and neither team has any
In the event of all eliminations, the winner will be determined by the number of remaining players from both teams, and the side with more remaining players will win. If the number of players is equal, one player from each side will be selected to fight to determine the winner."<
/p>
"Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded. They had carefully studied the rules of the knockout rounds before. Like the group stage, this year's knockout competition system is also unique.
It can be seen that in this year's Tianling Awards where there are many talented people, the Tianling Alliance is not obsessed with letting the students fight to the death, but puts more emphasis on the entertainment and appreciation of the competition system.
Such a match may be tiring and even unfair for the players, but for the audience, such a battle will be more interesting to watch.
It will also make ordinary people better understand how powerful and difficult spiritual practitioners are.
This can be clearly seen from "The live broadcast ratings of this year's group stage have created a new high in Tianling Continent since the era of science and technology."
Spiritual cultivators should not only cultivate spiritual power, but also be close to the hearts of the people. This is a tenet that the Tianling Alliance has always adhered to since its establishment. Yun Xi even speculated that if the feedback from this year's Tianling Awards is excellent, future Tianling Awards will even be
Ushering in real reform.
After introducing the competition system, Yunfeng took out part of the information in his hand: "Next, let's talk about your opponents. Here is the information about Yuanting University. You can take a look first."
After the previous three rounds of watching the game, Yunfeng and Qin Susheng sorted out the information about the teams entering the second half overnight yesterday, and they have not rested until now.
Several people took the information handed over by Yunfeng.
When everyone had finished watching, Qin Susheng spoke: "Yuan Ting High School is the second seed in Jiangming County. It previously took second place in the Group A ranking competition. It is a very strong opponent overall. Their ten
All contestants are spiritual beings."
Everyone listened quietly. In fact, they all knew that Yun Xi and Ying Nian Ling were there. Unless it was a high school like Qingyuan Jiang Ming with strong people in the early and middle stages of spiritual life, it would be difficult for other colleges to pose a threat to them.
However, you can be confident in your heart at any time, but you must not act too arrogant because of it.
Qin Susheng was very satisfied with everyone's serious attitude. She continued: "However, only six players can be sent to the knockout round, and the competition method relies on strength to determine the outcome. So in terms of hard power, I am actually not too worried.
But..."
Qin Susheng paused for a moment, then stirred up the atmosphere and said: "There is also another situation that may arise. That is, when our opponents know that their hard power is not as good as ours, they may choose to collectively avoid the battle after jointly eliminating one of us.
”
Hearing Qin Susheng's words, Ye Nianhan said doubtfully: "I remember that the positions of all the players will be marked every ten minutes during the game. It should be impossible to avoid the battle, right?"
"It's unlikely but not completely impossible. We must take all possibilities into account so that we can respond steadily."
Ye Nianhan understood: "I understand."
"Well, in the next few days, you six will go for emergency training first. As for Li Xinyu and you four..."
The four people whose names were called quickly held their heads high.
"The four of you should take advantage of this period of time to have a good retreat and carefully digest what you have gained from this Heavenly Spirit Award. If you can take this opportunity to break through to the spiritual path, that would be the best."
"Yes."
……
After the meeting, Yun Xi and others left the conference room and walked towards the training venue. During this period, they spent a lot of spiritual crystals just on training.
But when she was about to go downstairs, Yun Xi suddenly stopped.
Yunfeng looked at her doubtfully: "What's wrong? Xiao Xi?"
Yunfeng and Qin Susheng will accompany and guide the entire training process.
Yun Xi looked at everyone and said, "Since it's training, wouldn't it be better to find some sparring partners?"
"Huh?"
Everyone was confused at first, and then understood immediately.
Yunfeng nodded: "That's fine. If you just practice by yourself, there will be no comparison."
Afterwards, Yun Xi knocked on the doors of Li Zixiao and Feng Weiyan one by one.
