For the rematch of the ranking competition, the rules are also based on group round-robin competition.
The 12 first place players in the group and the 12 second place players in the group are evenly divided into four semi-final groups, with six people in each group.
A single round-robin points system is also adopted. After the rematch, the top two teams with the highest points in each group advance to the finals.
That is, 24 goes into 8.
Similarly, that is to say, at least two of the top ten in the previous session will stop there.
Taking into account the many dark horses in this session and the top ten in the previous session that stopped here, there may be even more.
…
In the basin, Master Xuan Ning quickly announced the grouping situation for the semi-finals.
Chen Xinzhu is in the fourth group.
The members of the same group include Xia Lixuan, who is ranked fourth on the ranking list, Li Yi, who is eighth on the ranking list, Duan Ping, who is tenth on the ranking list, and two masters who are ranked within 30 on the ranking list.
Among them, Chen Xinzhu, Xia Lixuan, and Li Yi all ranked first in the preliminary round, and Duan Ping and the other two ranked second in the preliminary round.
Not to mention the two cannon fodders, among the remaining four, according to the rules of the rematch, only two can advance to the finals.
This means that in the fourth group of the semi-finals, one or two of the top ten players from the previous year will end up here.
The situation of the other three semi-final groups is also similar, which shows how cruel the competition in the semi-finals is.
After the grouping is completed, the semi-finals will begin soon.
In the fourth group of the semi-finals, on a fighting field that was several times wider, Xia Lixuan held a wild goose feather sword and defeated his opponent within a few moves.
At the end of the competition, Chen Xinzhu nodded slightly.
Xia Lixuan deserves to be ranked fourth on the list, and his understanding of superior martial arts has surpassed many Xiantian realm experts.
Chen Xinzhu even saw a hint of the unity of heaven and man in him.
"The accumulation is profound, is this about to break through?"
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu smiled softly.
"Whether it's the Unity of Heaven and Man or the Nine Swords of Dugu, I'm still a little bit behind. It would be great if they could bring me some inspiration."
The rematch was carried out in an orderly manner. After Xia Lixuan, Li Yi, who was eighth in the rankings, also achieved his first victory in the rematch.
The third game of the rematch is about to begin.
Chen Xinzhu held the Zixu Sword tightly and walked to the competition ground.
Li Yi, who had won his first victory, happened to come down from the competition field. When he saw Chen Xinzhu walking towards him, he spoke in a heavy tone.
"This little brother from the Huashan Sect, can you listen to my advice?"
"Huh?" Chen Xinzhu turned his attention to Li Yi.
"Junior sister's temperament is a bit simple. We don't want outsiders to have too much contact with her. We hope you can stay away from her in the future." Li Yi said extremely seriously.
"Little junior sister? Are you referring to the girl in orange clothes?" Chen Xinzhu asked casually.
"Yes, it's her."
Li Yi stared at Chen Xinzhu closely, waiting for his answer.
"Oh..." Chen Xinzhu looked away and continued walking to the competition ground.
"Oh?" Li Yi didn't understand what Chen Xinzhu meant. Seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly asked loudly: "Did you agree?"
After hearing his words, Chen Xinzhu replied calmly while walking towards the competition ground.
"No."
Stay away from “cider girls”??
How is this possible!
After meeting the "cider girl" this time, Chen Xinzhu made up his mind to develop a long-term trading relationship with her.
Exchange a batch of fruit wine from time to time.
Under such circumstances, Chen Xinzhu would naturally not agree to Li Yi's request.
On the road of life, fruit wine is Chen Xinzhu’s biggest pastime, and he will naturally not give up easily!
Even if it causes some trouble...
"No??" Li Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing Chen Xinzhu's decisive reply.
When he came back to his senses, his eyes instantly became sharp.
"It seems that Junior Sister Ziyue's worries are not unreasonable. This guy might really be plotting against Junior Sister."
"If the leader finds out..."
Thinking of this, Li Yi shuddered instantly.
"No, this matter must be resolved before the leader knows about it."
Thinking of this, Li Yi looked at Chen Xinzhu with a hint of violence in his eyes.
"Since you don't know how to praise, then don't blame me!"
…
Chen Xinzhu didn't know about Li Yi's misunderstanding, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Arriving at the competition ground, Chen Xinzhu looked at his opponent not far away.
Number ten on the list, Duan Ping.
"I have admired the Duan family's martial arts for a long time." Chen Xinzhu said calmly.
After hearing this, Duan Ping, who was looking at Chen Xinzhu warily not far away, was stunned for a moment.
He didn't understand what Chen Xinzhu meant by saying this, so he complimented him casually.
"I also have great respect for the Huashan Sect."
While the two were talking, everyone in the arena was also discussing.
Looking at Chen Xinzhu and Chen Xinzhu on the fighting field, the middle-aged man in blue shirt from the Murong family smiled and said to Ji Tianhan.
"Mr. Ji, what do you think? Will he win a clean victory again? That boy Chen from Huashan School."
Having said this, the middle-aged man in blue shirt paused for a moment, then changed his tone and continued.
"Or can that guy Duan Ping win and clear his name?"
Hearing this, several Xiantian realm experts around him looked at Ji Tianhan.
Ranked 10th on the player list and 11th on the opponent list.
They are also very interested in this battle.
Especially when the middle-aged man in blue shirt is in front of him, they are eager to know whether this "gossip" is true or false.
Looking at Chen Xinzhu and the two people in the competition field, the thoughts of several Xiantian realm experts were racing.
With the top ten in the previous ranking as opponents, it must be time for the Huashan sect boy to show his true skills, right?
They thought so.
Hearing the question from the middle-aged man in blue shirt, Ji Tianhan looked at Chen Xinzhu on the fighting field, and involuntarily thought of what Chen Xinzhu said before.
"My goal is to be number one on the list."
The boy's calm tone and calm expression were still fresh in his memory.
Since the goal is to be number one in the rankings, then it must not be difficult for you to be just tenth in the previous year, right?
Ji Tianhan thought so in his heart.
Looking at the middle-aged man in blue shirt, Ji Tianhan chuckled and said.
"If you ask me, I think Mr. Chen has a greater chance of winning, right?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in blue shirt also smiled.
"It seems that Mr. Ji and I have similar views on heroes, and I am more optimistic about Mr. Chen."
"Really? That's really rare..."
While several people were talking, the referee on the competition ground had already announced the start of the competition.
"start!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Duan Ping took the initiative to launch an attack. He waved his hands quickly, creating an afterimage.
In an instant, dozens of streams of true energy the size of an index finger shrouded Chen Xinzhu like a curtain of rain.
Looking at this scene, Chen Xinzhu's expression did not change at all.
Turning his body slightly to one side, Chen Xinzhu tightly grasped the hilt of the Zixu Sword with his right hand.
Looking at Duan Ping, who was dozens of meters away, Chen Xinzhu's eyes lit up with a purple light.
Whoosh!
Chen Xinzhu's figure disappeared instantly, and his whole body was like a bolt of thunder and lightning, rushing straight into the true energy rain curtain.
"ah!"
Seeing this thrilling scene, many viewers couldn't help but exclaimed.
