Thanks to brothers "Sisi is Mine" and "Zui Qingtian" for their valuable monthly votes!

According to the rules of previous Star Conferences, after the top five candidates are selected, a round of drawings will be held to determine the candidates for the next duel.
In the jade box held by Marquis Wen Cheng in both hands, there were five tokens, four white and one black.
The four white tokens are written A, B, C and D respectively. After the lottery is drawn, the holder of the A token will face the holder of the D token, and the B token will face the C token.
Pairs compete to select the top three spots.
And whoever draws the black token will be directly promoted to the top three!
The reason for this arrangement is to test one's "luck".
As a monk, the most important thing is luck, whether it is a personal luck or a country's luck, it may seem elusive and incomprehensible, but in the eyes of all monks, this kind of luck actually exists, even if it cannot be
To peek into its mystery, you have to take it seriously.
This round of drawing lots to arrange the candidates for the duel is implicitly consistent with the theory of "luck".
The lottery is about to begin, and both the many monks in Splendid City and the Earth Immortal Ancestors are all speculating on the results of this lottery.
"These five people were able to break through the siege and rank among the top five. In addition to their own strength, they must also be people with great luck. It is really difficult to guess who can get that black token."
"I'm optimistic about Qing Xiuyi. She is the reincarnation of an immortal. She is pure in spirit, and her aptitude and luck are all superior to others. She will get the black token 10% of the time."
"I think Zhao Qinghe is good. This son was born in Tianxuan Pavilion. In the endless years, it has been a blessed land of cave heaven where many immortals were born. He is uniquely blessed by nature. In terms of luck, Zhao Qinghe should be stronger."
"I think Zhen Liuqing is the most lucky woman. She was born in Shuiyan Pavilion, which is proficient in divination, divination, and astrology. She has an unparalleled advantage in grasping the secrets of heaven. And you must also know that every time the current royal family performs sacrifices,
, but they are all presided over by people from Shuiyan Pavilion. When it comes to luck, Zhen Liuqing should be the first!"
"Actually, that Lingyu is not bad, he is chubby and looks very lucky..."
All the Earth Immortal Ancestors expressed their opinions one after another, but very few of them mentioned Chen Xi. Bei Heng couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but coughed and said: "I don't shy away from relatives when promoting talents. I think my sworn brother is pretty good.
he……"
"What nonsense! How did I hear that he was a famous broom star in southern Xinjiang back then?" Huangfu Jingtian interrupted before Beiheng could speak, with a trace of disdain and ridicule in his voice.
Bei Heng's expression froze, he snorted coldly, and said no more. If he continues to argue, he might reveal all the old things that Chen Xi was extremely sad about back then. This is no different from humiliating Chen Xi in public, so don't argue.
He didn't argue, but Huangfu Jingtian didn't intend to let it go. He laughed and told the surrounding immortal ancestors about Chen Xi's past, such as how the two nicknames "Facial Paralysis Chen" and "Broom Star" came from. Again.
For example, the Chen family was destroyed, the marriage certificate was torn up, the whereabouts of the parents are unknown...etc.
Hearing this, the expressions on the other people's faces gradually became weird, and the looks they looked at Chen Xi were even more weird. They all secretly muttered in their hearts, this little guy was really unlucky back then.
"Hmph, Chen Xi has been able to reach this stage from all kinds of hardships. What is there about Chen Xi that deserves your ridicule? If it were you, would you be able to get out of all these adversities and achieve the achievements you have today?"
Wu Yuanhou, who had been silent with his eyes closed, suddenly snorted coldly and said lightly.
Hearing this, many Earth Immortal Ancestors were stunned and fell into silence. Yes, if it were Chen Xi himself, what achievements could he achieve on the road in such an embarrassing environment?
Only Huangfu Jingtian's face darkened and he remained silent. He was too lazy to argue with Wu Yuanhou. He wanted to see what kind of lottery Chen Xi, the bad guy, could draw.
However--
The drawing of lots that made everyone look forward to and curious about it, but something unexpected happened.
Chen Xi has been concentrating on training and has not yet woken up. If he is disturbed at this time, something unexpected might happen, so he cannot draw lots yet.
"That's it, the four of you will draw first, and the last piece will be left to him." Wen Chenghou frowned, and then he came up with a method and ordered calmly.
After everyone heard this, they all sympathized with Chen Xi. If he followed this method, the chance of Chen Xi obtaining the black token would undoubtedly be reduced to the minimum.
"I have already said that this kid is a total scapegoat and is extremely unlucky." When Huangfu Jingtian saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head, and a slightly mocking sneer appeared on his lips.
"Who among you four will draw first?" Wen Chenghou asked.
"I'll come." Before she finished speaking, Qing Xiuyi came to Wen Chenghou and reached out to grab the jade box.
This jade box is three feet long, with rays of light flowing on its surface and densely covered with runes, forming a light curtain that can block out all spiritual detection, so there is no risk of cheating.
Soon, Qing Xiuyi grabbed a token, but it was white, with the word "A" engraved on it. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a pity. But Qing Xiuyi didn't seem to care.
These people put away their tokens and stood quietly to one side with calm expressions.
Zhao Qinghe, Ling Yu, and Zhen Liuqing looked at each other and then separated.
Qing Xiuyi drew an A-word order, so it was destined that one of the three of them and Chen Xi would have to fight Qing Xiuyi for a top three spot, and the loser would have to settle for the third place.
Four or five.
"I'll do it next." Zhao Qinghe took a deep breath, stepped forward, put his hand into the jade box and took it out. The whole process took no more than a moment, as if he was resigned to his fate.
The result once again disappointed everyone present. Zhao Qinghe still drew a white token, but he was already very satisfied. The token had the word "C" engraved on it, and his opponent was not Qing Xiuyi.
The third person drawn was Zhen Liuqing. In the eyes of everyone, she was the unluckiest. She drew the D-shaped token, and her opponent was destined to be Qing Xiuyi.
Until now, there are still two tokens left, one is the B-word token. If you win it, your opponent will be Zhao Qinghe. The other one is a black token. If you win it, you will be promoted directly.
No matter which one of these two tokens, it seems that they are relatively good. You don't have to fight Qing Xiuyi, you can even advance directly, and the chance of winning is also 50-50, which is obviously very cost-effective.
The most important thing is that Chen Xi is still practicing at this time, so Ling Yu only needs to draw one of the tokens to determine the candidates for the next duel and the candidates for direct promotion.
Ling Yu suddenly became the center of attention of everyone present.
"Let me just say, this little fat guy looks blessed, so he has the best luck."
"Indeed, there is a half chance of drawing a black token next. This luck is all in his hands, but Chen Xi can only accept the final result."
"But having said that, if Ling Yu doesn't win the black token, then Chen Xi will be the biggest winner."
At this time, even the Earth Immortal Ancestors turned their gazes, wanting to see the final result.
This method of drawing lots seems to be the same as drawing lots, but as monks, they see that it involves luck, so they cannot help but pay attention.
"It's really troublesome. It's just about drawing lots. Why do you need to be so nervous? I envy that guy Chen Xi. He took care of everything just sitting there without moving."
Ling Yu curled his lips, muttered something, and reluctantly moved his body as big as a ball, slowly came to Wen Chenghou, and reached into the jade box.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, and they seemed to be even more nervous than Ling Yu.
Under everyone's attention, Ling Yu's chubby palm poked out from the jade box, and there was an extra token in his palm. When they saw the color clearly, everyone's expressions became stunned.
It turned out to be a white B-word order!
In other words, the last token left in the jade box is the black token that represents direct promotion, and it... will also belong to Chen Xi!
A sense of absurdity suddenly arose in everyone's heart. This guy Chen Xi didn't even move where he was sitting. He didn't even know when the lottery would start or end, so he was directly promoted to the top three?
How incredible!
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Xi who was sitting quietly practicing in mid-air, feeling envious and shocked at the same time.

ps: Before the 15th of this month, due to resignation, moving, and changing cities, I rarely had time to code. I could only try to maintain two updates. I hope everyone will bear with you. When everything is stable, I will continue to resume three updates.
