There are more than a dozen fighting platforms, and each one is occupied by many people. There are various kinds of people, about a few thousand people in total.

"The assessment begins!"

As the old man in gray fell with a sound, a powerful aura was released from his body, and an invisible pressure fell from the sky and enveloped him.

Feeling the enveloping spiritual pressure, some disciples' expressions suddenly changed and they quickly released their own spiritual energy to resist. Some of the weak ones fell down without even being able to hold on for a few seconds.

This first round can be said to be a strength screening to eliminate some people who are too powerful. After that, it will be a one-on-one duel.

On a certain fighting platform, Lin Xiao stood in a certain position, releasing his spiritual energy and resisting the spiritual pressure.

At this time, Lin Xiao looked calm. Obviously, this level of spiritual pressure had no effect on him.

Lin Xiao estimated that the strength of the old man in gray was at least above the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, or even higher. However, the spiritual pressure he released was not too strong. As long as he had the strength of the second level or above of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it would not be difficult.

Keep at it.

Lin Xiao is now at the peak of the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but he has heaven-level spiritual veins. His spiritual energy concentration and physical strength are much higher than those of people in the same realm. He is invincible below the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

In addition, he is now a great swordsman, and he is not afraid at all even if he is at the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Therefore, these spiritual pressures are nothing to Lin Xiao.

Time passed slowly, and many disciples had to give up because they could not withstand the spiritual pressure.

Half a quarter of an hour later, nearly half of the people had been eliminated. However, as we went to the back, the remaining people all had some strength, and fewer and fewer people were eliminated.

"ah--"

Next to Lin Xiao, there was a suppressed shout, and a disciple fell to his knees directly on the ground because he could not withstand the spiritual pressure. His hands were on the ground, his face was flushed, and the veins on his arms popped out. He looked like he was struggling.

.

Although there were still a few minutes to go, this disciple still chose to give up and left the fighting platform sadly.

Even if he can hold on until the end, he will inevitably be seriously injured and will be eliminated in the next round with a high probability. Since he can't go far, it is better to give up early. This is a wise choice.

At the final stage, people were quitting one after another on every fighting platform, but not too many.

Finally, a quarter of an hour passed.

The spiritual pressure disappeared immediately, and many disciples on the fighting platform breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their faces.

The old man in gray glanced at the fighting platform and nodded slightly, "Not bad. There are more than 3,000 people, and one-third of them passed the first round."

"Next, the second round, one-on-one duel, will be drawn by lot."

In the spectator seats, the deans and tutors were all discussing in low voices.

Over at the Vajra Academy, a mentor smiled and said, "Of the more than a thousand people who passed the first round, more than 300 of them are our Vajra Academy disciples. Our Vajra Academy is indeed the strongest."

On the side, Duguhong also smiled faintly, looking calm and calm, as if he had everything under control.

"The champion of the outer courtyard competition this time will definitely belong to our King Kong Institute. This was the case in the past two years, and this year is no exception. The King Kong Institute is destined to win the championship three times in a row."

"By then, the entire Tianhuo Academy will be included in the Vajra Academy, haha."

On the other side, Xu Yan from Tianhuo Academy nodded slightly. Although only more than a hundred people from Tianhuo Academy entered the second round, this result was much better than before.

"It seems that the gambling battle with the Vajra Academy has inspired the passion and potential of many disciples, and many of them have made great progress." Xue Yang whispered from the side.

Xu Yan nodded, but the expression on his face was slightly solemn. This outer courtyard competition is related to the survival of their Tianhuo courtyard, and they cannot afford to lose.

Soon, the draw ended.

Lin Xiao drew the number 137. He had to wait for a while before he could play, so he returned to his seat.

Just as he sat down, a figure came over and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Lin, I have entered the second round."

Lin Xiao turned around and saw that it was Cheng Fei. He was holding a card in his hand and had an excited smile on his face, but his face was slightly pale. It could be seen that the first round of spiritual pressure just now had a negative impact on him.

It had quite an impact.

"Good job, keep up the good work." Lin Xiao patted Cheng Fei on the shoulder and encouraged with a smile. He was able to pass the first round of tests just after joining Tianhuo Academy. Cheng Fei's talent is indeed good.

But in addition, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried. With Cheng Fei's current condition, it might be difficult for him to pass the second round.

I just hope that he meets a not very strong opponent in the second round. In this case, there is still hope of advancement.

On the side, Fang Chen smiled faintly and said in an elder's tone, "Well done, but don't be proud. There is still a long way to go."

"I understand, senior brother, I will continue to work hard." Cheng Fei nodded seriously and showed a smile.

Soon, the second round of the finals begins!

"The first match is between Cheng Fei of the Tianhuo Academy and Duan Gang of the Vajra Academy!"

Hearing this, both Lin Xiao and Fang Chen's expressions changed slightly. On the side, Cheng Fei was also stunned for a moment. He quickly looked at the card in his hand and saw a "2" written on it.
Chapter completed!
