After the words fell, Lin Xiao and others began to draw lots one after another.

According to the group of three people, one hundred people can be divided into thirty-three groups, one of which will have one more person.

Lin Xiao glanced at the number on his hand. He was in the tenth group.

"Shenglongtai, open!"

Nangong Shi's palm was raised, as if some mechanism had been touched, and the sound of gears grinding was heard.

Immediately, I saw high platforms rising slowly above this huge square.

These high platforms are the same size, with a length and width of dozens of feet, which are enough for fighting.

The so-called Shenglong Platform means that one can fight to the end on it, just like a giant dragon rising into the sky, attracting everyone's attention and shining brightly, and will start a different life from now on.

From the rising dragon platform, a hundred young men and women looked at each other, with fighting intent emerging in their eyes. Everyone hoped that they could fight to the end and become a truly rising dragon.

Today, in this imperial city, under the spotlight of everyone, the real competition for the list of geniuses is about to begin.

Only the geniuses among geniuses can be on the list of geniuses and can be called the favored ones of heaven. The most grand battle of geniuses in the entire Tianxing Empire has begun.

"Thirty-three groups, a total of nine battle platforms, divided into four groups for duel."

"Now, groups one to nine, come on stage!"

After the words fell, young men and women from groups one to nine stepped onto the nine battle platforms respectively, while the rest of the people were distributed on different battle platforms to watch the battle.

Lin Xiao also stood casually under a battle platform, observing the battle above.

There are three people in each group, and they compete in a round-robin battle. Only one person can win. The winner will be able to be on the list of geniuses and become one of the top thirty-six.

"start!"

As Nangong Shi's voice fell, a roar sounded from the nine battle platforms at the same time, many powerful auras rose into the sky, and the battle quickly began.

The remaining 100 people who can pass the preliminary examination are all very strong. The weakest one has a cultivation level above the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm and has understood the potential of the first level.

On the nine battle platforms, the battle was fierce, full of energy, and the fight was fierce.

Bang!

Suddenly, a terrifying roar rang out from a battle platform, deafening, and for a moment, it attracted the attention of many people.

I saw a young man standing proudly on that battle platform, his eyes like daggers, and his whole body was like a sharp sword with a sharp edge.

In front of him, a young man in blue was lying on the ground, with blood stains remaining on the corners of his mouth. His body was twitching like a dehydrated fish. He struggled a few times, but still did not stand up.

"Nangong Jian, win!"

On that fighting stage, a gray-robed referee said softly.

"This Nangong Jian is indeed the favorite to win this year's Tianjiao List. A rare monster of the Nangong family in a hundred years. Not long after the battle just started, he directly defeated his opponent, and he was defeated miserably. How domineering!"

"Yes, this Nangong Swordsman lives up to his name. He is like a peerless sword, invincible and unstoppable. I'm afraid no one can stop him from winning the championship."

Around Lin Xiao, many people commented that even though these people were very powerful and arrogant, they still couldn't help but sigh at Nangong Jian's domineering and powerful nature.

The man who was defeated by Nangong Jian was obviously seriously injured and could not continue fighting. In other words, he could not even participate in the subsequent competitions, and he was completely missed from the list of geniuses.

The other person who was assigned to Nangong Jian's group gave up the competition directly, conserving his strength and staying until the second round, maybe there would be a chance to grab a seat.

And shortly after the battle on Nangong Jian's side ended, another battle platform ended the game one after another. One after another, in about half an hour, the battles on all nine battle platforms ended.

The winner of each battle stage will directly enter the top 36 of the Tianjiao Ranking. If the two losers can continue fighting, they will prepare for the second round to snatch the remaining three.

seats.

"Group ten to eighteen, take the stage!"

After the words fell, the same group of people as Lin Xiao boarded the fighting platform.

The two people who were in the same group as Lin Xiao happened to be students of the Royal Academy.

"It's true that there are enemies on the same road."

Lin Xiao snorted softly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two Royal Academy students looking at him with strong murderous intent in their eyes.

In the battle of the Genius List, you can kill people, provided that the opponent does not admit defeat and still has fighting ability, this is allowed to happen.

Moreover, in every battle for the Genius List, some geniuses will die on the battlefield, and the family forces of the geniuses who died in the battle are not allowed to retaliate, otherwise they will be jointly suppressed by other forces. This is an established rule.

In other words, as long as you attack quickly enough and kill the opponent before he has time to admit defeat, it is not against the rules.

Now, these two students from the Royal Academy had this idea in their minds. Before the competition, the elders of the Royal Academy had told them to kill Lin Xiao if they encountered him. If they could kill him, they would be rewarded heavily.

"The wheel battle, the first game, Wang Tao versus Xu Meng."

In the first game, it was these two students from the Royal Academy who came on stage. They stood opposite each other, looked at each other, rushed towards each other, punched each other, and then both fell to the ground.

Lin Xiao could clearly see that the two men's attacks were not very powerful at all, but they both pretended to fall to the ground. It seemed that they planned to save their energy to deal with him.

"Referee, I'm injured and can't fight anymore."

"Referee, me too."

The two said at the same time. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was obviously a lie. There were boos in the audience, but the two of them didn't care at all.

"In that case, the first game is a draw."
Chapter completed!
