Chapter 240 New Competition Rules and Seed Players
In order to prevent the major forces from making arrangements in advance, the rules of each Elite Sword Competition will be finalized by the competition organizing committee composed of major forces the day before the start of the competition. And Ying Tian is the dragon group on the organizing committee this time.
Representative of the meeting.
Ying Tian was silent for a while, and then he explained the rules of this competition.
Murong Yunqing listened very carefully. Unlike others, she had never even understood the Elite Sword Discussion Club before. Ying Tian's explanation was also very clear, which made her understand the rules of this Elite Sword Discussion Club.
Preliminary understanding.
According to statistics from Kunlun Shrine, the total number of participants in this Elite Sword Competition is 832. After discussion and decision by the competition organizing committee, the general rules are similar to those in previous years and are generally not complicated.
In this elite fencing competition, the contestants will be divided into 10 groups. The group elimination rounds will be held first. The top four in each group will be selected. Finally, a total of 40 contestants will advance to the next stage.
After that, the 40 advanced contestants will first draw lots for a random elimination round to determine the 20 winners. In this process, the 20 contestants who failed will not be eliminated directly, but can challenge the 20 contestants.
The winner initiates a challenge.
Each loser has at most one chance to choose one of the 20 winners to challenge. If the winner successfully defends his title, he does not need to accept the challenge from others.
If multiple losers select the same winner to challenge, the final challenge spot will be determined through a group battle among the losers.
After the challenge is completed, the 20 winners will be the top 20 in this elite sword competition. After that, there will still be a round-robin knockout until the final winner is determined.
The entire process of the competition is not an exaggeration to say that it is simple. It is completely based on the knockout rounds. Only for the top 20 to compete for the qualifications for the ancient battlefield, a challenge round has been added.
The difference between this competition and previous competitions is in the knockout and group stage of 40 into 20.
In the knockout round of 40 to 20, the first place in each group will be divided during the draw.
In other words, as long as you get the first place in your group, you will not be matched up with the first place in other groups. This is also a method adopted by the competition organizing committee to ensure the quality of the places in the Ancient Battlefield.
The other biggest difference is that the competition organizing committee screened the seed players based on the participants.
Based on the assessment of the cultivation of all known contestants, the competition organizing committee selected 10 seed contestants and assigned them to 10 groups to ensure their independence from each other.
After listening to Ying Tian's introduction, Murong Yunqing and other members of the dragon group also nodded to express their understanding. Although the rules of the competition are not very complicated, they basically guarantee the quality of the final ranking.
With the setting of seeded players and challenge matches, the possibility of relying on luck to reach the end is basically avoided. Although the full round of knockout matches is cruel, it is also in line with the rules of the jungle in the spiritual world.
"Seeded player?"
Although Murong Yunqing and others did not say anything, Qiu Yue and Rong Tianyuan frowned. They knew very well that the establishment of seed players in this competition was a big change, and it was also a very important step.
Big opportunity.
Those who can be selected as seeded players have no doubt about their strength. If they can be selected, it means that they can avoid the possibility of encountering other seeded players in the subsequent group stage draws and battles.
Otherwise, if there is a strong confrontation, it will not be a good thing for both parties.
"That's right! It's the seeded player!"
Ying Tian lightly tapped the table and continued: "In fact, based on past rules and combined with the opinions of the major forces, this time the organizing committee took less than an hour to formulate the rules.
We reached a consensus. And the rest of the time was almost entirely spent on finalizing the selection of seed players!”
Everyone in the Dragon Group, including Murong Yunqing, couldn't help but become nervous when they heard this. You must know that the seeded players are directly related to their interests in the competition.
"Stop being so pretentious, just tell me the result.
What is it?" Rong Tianyuan asked directly.
Ying Tian nodded. His scholarly appearance made him look like an honest scholar.
"The organizing committee has combined the known strengths of each contestant and selected 10 seed contestants, who will sit in the group venues No. 1 to 10 in order!"
Ying Tian said, looking at Murong Yunqing and others. Finally, his eyes rested on Wu Tian, who had been silent: "No. 10, Wu Tian, venue No. 10!"
"Whoosh!"
Everyone's eyes, including Murong Yunqing's, were instantly focused on Wu Tian.
But Wu Tian, who had gathered everyone's attention, acted like a normal person and showed no reaction at all. It seemed that being selected as a seed player was a dispensable thing for him.
Ying Tian finally withdrew his gaze and regained his previous composure. As if he saw everyone's doubts, he explained: "Wu Tian's situation is quite special. During the final discussion about the seed players, the organizing committee
The club received news about Wu Tian’s battle with Xing Yu, and finally decided on him as one of the seed players.”
After hearing Ying Tian's explanation, everyone nodded.
After all, everyone watched the battle between Wu Tian and Xing Yu in the morning. In that battle, Wu Tian showed great strength and scheming.
Murong Yunqing was not surprised by this. Although Wu Tian's cultivation seemed to be at the peak of the seventh heaven, the feeling he brought to Murong Yunqing had always been mysterious. Murong Yunqing could even feel it from his body.
I felt a vague sense of danger.
Murong Yunqing vaguely felt that in the morning's battle with Xing Yu, Wu Tian seemed to have used all his methods, but in fact he still did not show his true strength.
In that battle, Wu Tian seemed to have the upper hand, but anyone with a bit of discernment could see that Xing Yu had just begun to underestimate the enemy. In addition, Wu Tian's behavior and attack methods were rather strange, and he was taken a step further.
Step by step he was forced into a disadvantage.
According to the abilities displayed by Wu Tian and Xing Yu in the battle, although it was a bit strange, Murong Yunqing asked himself that he could still handle it. Therefore, the trace of danger and uneasiness in his heart could only be because of Wu Tian's body.
There must be some kind of trump card hidden.
"No. 9, Xu Kaifeng from Kunlun Temple, guarding the No. 9 arena. It is said that this person's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the eighth heaven. His Qingwei sword technique has reached the peak of the third level. He can even fight with the strong men in the late eighth layer.
, quite powerful!”
"No. 8, Buddhist monk Jueyuan. It is said that this person has lived in the Jinguang Temple of Buddhism since he was a child. He was an orphan picked up by the abbot of Jinguang Temple during an outing.
According to rumors, this man is the reincarnation of the Arhat in heaven. He knows it almost from birth. He can tell it by looking at the Buddhist scriptures. In just twenty years, he has mastered the Buddhist Arhat Boxing, One-finger Zen, Nine Palace Palm and other unique skills to the state of transformation. Even the Buddhist
Qidian, for hundreds of years no one has been able to practice the Yi Jin Jing to a great level, but this person has perfected it. Guard the No. 8 site."
Ying Tian's words made everyone present take a breath, including Murong Yunqing.
Both Xu Kaifeng and Monk Jueyuan put a lot of pressure on Murong Yunqing. Especially Monk Jueyuan, if everything Ying Tian said is true, then this person is too legendary.
You must know that although there are many secret scriptures in Buddhism, its cultivation is extremely difficult. Any unique skill is enough for an ordinary practitioner to spend a lifetime studying. The Yi Jin Jing is a secret that Buddhism does not teach. It is said that this is
The supreme Buddhist body-building exercises can change the meridians and pulses, and can even reshape innate qualifications.
According to Murong Yunqing's knowledge, the Yi Jin Jing is divided into three levels. Nowadays, many Buddhist practitioners are almost all on the first level. Those who can break through to the second level are only a few of them, all of whom are experienced practitioners with profound Buddhist teachings.
A generational figure.
And this monk Jueyuan actually practiced the Yi Jin Jing to great perfection in his twenties, which meant that he had reached the third level of the Yi Jin Jing. How could Murong Yunqing not be surprised by this?
!
In addition, what surprised Murong Yunqing the most was that such a talented person was only ranked eighth among the seed players. This clearly shows the quality of this elite sword discussion meeting.
However, Ying Tian
Before everyone could recover from the surprise, they spoke again: "The seventh one, the Xuanyuan family, the Gentleman Sword Xuanyuan Liang. I believe everyone knows about Xuanyuan Liang, the great-great-grandson of the Dragon King, whose Xuanyuan Sword Technique also shocked the entire China."
In the Imperial Cultivation World, guard No. 7."
"The sixth seeded player..." Ying Tian said, suddenly turning his gaze to Murong Yunqing, and slowly said: "Murong Yunqing, you will be in charge of venue 6 when you arrive."
After saying that, Ying Tian didn't say anything else and continued to introduce.
After Murong Yunqing heard his name, he was just slightly stunned and then reacted.
When the others heard Murong Yunqing's name, they didn't show any surprise. They still knew something about Murong Yunqing's strength. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Murong Yunqing to lead the team this time.
These young geniuses who came to participate in this elite sword discussion meeting on behalf of the Dragon Group, although they don't say it in words, in fact they are all unruly people.
If you want to be their captain, how can you do it safely if you don't have the strength and talent to overpower everyone? If you want to lead a group of geniuses, you have to be more talented than them!
"Fifth place, Demon Sect, is the saint of Taixu Castle located in the territory of Shengbo, Zhongli Meng. According to rumors, this person's cultivation has reached the late stage of the eighth heaven, and he practices the most powerful scriptures of Demon Sect, Wuxiang
The Heavenly Demon's Great Self-Heart Sutra is good at enchanting, luring souls, and ecstasy. Guard Site No. 5."
When Ying Tian said this, he changed the subject, looked at the participants of the dragon group present, and said:
"If you are facing her, you must pay attention, keep your mind tight, and be as still as a mountain! Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be deceived by her. At the least, you will lose your spirit, your cultivation will be greatly reduced, and at the most serious, you will lose your mind.
If you become a demon slave, you may even die on the spot!"
Many young heroes from the dragon group present nodded their heads after hearing this.
"Fourth place, the divine organization, Xing Yu, known as Ye Shura! Guard the No. 4 venue. You should all have seen this person, so I won't say more."
"The third place is Yuan Sheng. His current cultivation level should be around the late eighth level. His specific combat strength and ability are unknown. According to the information our dragon group has, this person actually comes from the ancient hidden force of the Mad Warrior Clan. He can be called a Mad Warrior.
He is the first strong person among the younger generation of our generation.
In addition, this person once defeated the ninth-ranked Xu Kaifeng with a sword a few days ago, so he must not be underestimated!"
After Ying Tian introduced Yuan Sheng's situation, he didn't pause or show off, and directly talked about the remaining seeded players.
"Second place, God, Blood Rose Fu Yingxuan. This person's cultivation level is unknown, and his specific combat power is also unclear, but this Blood Rose has twice accepted the task of assassinating top powerhouses in the task list released by the underground world.
Mission. And, they were all successful.
When dealing with this person, you must pay attention. Her specific strength is not yet known, but it is very likely that she has reached the peak of the eighth heaven, or at least the late eighth heaven.
As a killer, even if she cannot use her advantages in a one-on-one duel, her movement skills and speed are definitely far superior to those of warriors at the same level, and her attacks will kill with one hit, so don't be careless!
"
Ying Tian's words once again shocked everyone present, including Murong Yunqing.
Murong Yunqing asked herself, with her current strength, against top experts, even the worst top experts, she would definitely lose.
The gap between the first-class masters and the top masters is really huge. It can be said that if the Seventh Heaven is leapfrogging to challenge the Eighth Heaven, there is still a chance of success. But it is almost impossible for the Eighth Heaven to defeat the Nine Heavens.
A top powerhouse who has just entered the ninth heaven can easily destroy more than a dozen peak powerhouses of the eighth heaven who join forces. The two are not on the same level at all.
And Fu Yingxuan has actually killed a top powerhouse, and not even one. This can no longer be explained by luck. The only thing that can be explained is strength!
The ability to successfully assassinate the top powerhouse had to shock everyone in the Dragon Group present.
The stronger your cultivation is, the more terrifying you can feel the top powerhouse. This is simply a transformation at the level of life. It may seem like a slight change, but it is a thousand miles away!
