The day before yesterday, the arena was overcrowded and there were only a few spectators, but today it was just the opposite.
Eighteen arenas are still standing, and behind each arena are basically full of spectators. These people were all eliminated from the group stage.
There are more than 1,700 contestants, but only 180 can enter the breakout round.
The elimination rate of 90% is really high!
Above the sky of the main arena, Xiao Qixiu still stood with his sword behind his back. The chief referee pressed his hands down, and the restless crowd immediately fell silent.
He calmly took out a piece of paper from his arms and read slowly:
"Congratulations to you, one hundred and eighty warriors, for successfully standing out from the group stage and entering the breakout round."
"This year's breakout competition is still divided into eighteen stages. The champions of each group stage will serve as the champions. The opponents will be randomly matched by drawing lots."
He took out a blue formation order, injected spiritual energy into it, and the formation trembled.
In an instant, a large light curtain appeared on each of the eighteen arenas, and the drawing of lots would be conducted through this light curtain.
The audience began to get a little excited, Xiao Qixiu signaled for silence, and he had something to say.
"There are only 64 places in this breakout tournament. Before the places are full, those who win three games in a row can successfully break through."
"Everyone has two chances to challenge, including the challenger."
"Of course, if you meet seeded players twice, you can prepare for next year's competition in advance, or pack up and leave."
Xiao Qixiu chuckled, folded the paper and put it in his arms.
"Now, the game begins!"
As soon as a word is said, the guests are excited.
Compared with the previous pressure, the audience who left the ring at this time were all excited and cheering for the man in their hearts.
"Come on, Senior Sister!"
"Senior Brother Chao, we must kill Senior Sister this year and win first place!"
"Xu Xiaoshou, hold on!"
"Ah, ah, Zhou Zuo, give us a good name as trash, I love you!"
Zhou Zuo was trembling in the ring. Even standing here, he could feel his feet shaking. He finally realized that the breakout match was not that good.
Looking around, the people around me are basically in the eighth, ninth, or even tenth realm. How can I, Zhou Zuo, be able to stand among the big guys with only the qualifications of the three realms?
"Senior Brother Liu, I'm a little nervous."
He tugged at the corner of Liu Zhen's clothes, chatted his teeth, and laughed at himself: "How dare you stay here with such a low cultivation level? I'm afraid I'm the first in Tiansang Ling Palace."
Liu Zhen took a deep breath: "Don't worry, you may be the first, but you are by no means the only one."
Zhou Zuo raised his head.
Liu Zhen showed his cultivation in the Sixth Realm and said slowly: "Me too."
Xu Xiaoshou can be said to be the most heartless among the trio with the lowest cultivation level. After all, he does not rely on his cultivation level to fight, he is willful!
The sound in the audience should not be too strong. He covered his ears. He couldn't stand such crazy people. What's holding him back? To clear his name, are you sure you didn't come here to boo?
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Xu Xiaoshou wanted to quickly enter the No. 18 arena to be the ring leader. He blocked the sound through the barrier, and suddenly saw the information bar.
"Encouraged, passive value, +43."
"Received praise, passive value, +14."
"Being ridiculed, passive value, +8."
"..."
The information is updated one by one. Although the passive value of each update is not much, it is better than stability.
Xu Xiaoshou was carrying a wooden sword on his back, and his footsteps stopped involuntarily. He turned his head and waved his hands.
"thank you all."
"Thank you for your encouragement."
"I, Mr. Xu, must work hard and live up to everyone's expectations. Please give me more encouragement and support!"
"I love you so much!"
The audience was stunned.
To be honest, they just cheered a few times symbolically to avoid being left in the cold. When they received such a greasy response, they suddenly felt panicked.
"This Xu Xiaoshou must be sick!"
"Everyone else has entered the ring, but he's still running around outside?"
"Look at his idiot-like expression. Is this guy really the champion?"
"Not to mention, I'm also wondering. His cultivation level is only in the sixth realm, and he is two realms lower than me. How can he become the master of the competition?"
Xu Xiaoshou ran around the ring while checking the information board. The audience was so enthusiastic. With his wave of his hand, his passive value instantly increased a lot.
"Being ridiculed, passive value, +223."
"Being ridiculed, passive value, +146."
"Being ridiculed, passive value, +343."
Look, although it turned into a mockery, it was worth giving so much. Xu Xiaoshou felt more comfortable.
Okay, good ridicule!
If you have the ability, taunt a little more to make the storm come more violently!
After just a while, the passive value in my mind exceeded four digits again. I could just wave my hand and get food without getting beaten. It was so cool!
In Arena No. 18, the referee was pacing back and forth.
"Why hasn't this person come yet?"
He remembered Xu Xiao's legs being pinched last time, and wondered if he had something important to do again. He decided to go out and take a look.
After the last game, he went back to sum up his experience and felt that he was easily offended by Xu Xiao and lost his cool.
As a referee, this is extremely irrational and unqualified.
He adjusted his mentality and returned to Gujing Bubo to face this breakout match.
However, when he walked out of the ring and took a look, his mentality suddenly exploded again.
What is this kid doing?
The other arenas are about to start drawing lots, but this guy hasn't come in to compete yet. There's a majestic ring leader, and he's running around the Izumo stage waving and running in circles?
The referee was completely shocked.
The last time he was angry during the game, this time before the game even started, he couldn't help but burst his lungs.
"Xu, Xiao, accept!"
Xu Xiaoshou turned around in shock and saw the referee gritting his teeth and trying his best to wave to him in a friendly manner.
"Uh, does the game start so soon?" Xu Xiaoshou walked all the way over and came to the referee, "Isn't there half a stick of incense to adjust the breath?"
Hey, you know the rules very well!
The referee said with a dark face, "Are you adjusting your breath?"
"yes!"
Xu Xiaoshou nodded seriously, "I'm running to warm up. I need to get my body moving first and then I'll have the strength to compete later."
The referee was shocked, took a deep breath and said: "Come in!"
He didn't want to say any more to this boy, so he turned around and left.
Xu Xiaoshou secretly felt strange, but he had no choice but to follow him into the ring. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, the information column became quiet.
It’s a pity that there are so many passive values!
Xu Xiaoshou concluded that according to this situation, to obtain this passive value, one must feel the emotions, words and deeds of others up close.
He will not gain anything if he is isolated by such a barrier, or if the other party denounces him from afar.
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou:???
Don't be so obvious, okay? There are only two of us here, referee!
Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself that the light curtain above the screen had begun to beat.
His name was fixed on the left, and it was flashing on the right. It didn't take long for it to become fixed.
"Di Xin'er!"
A beautiful woman stepped onto the ring in response. She had a blue spiritual sword on her back and was at the eighth level of cultivation. As she walked up, her beautiful eyes were slightly bitter.
She didn't want to be beaten by Xu Xiaoshou. This guy majored in physical training and was extremely savage. If possible, she wanted to wait for a swordsman to spar with him.
Even if you can't beat it, you can still get some experience!
But she had no choice at this time. She had no choice but to step onto the ring and bow slightly: "Hello, Senior Brother Xu."
She had been in the Spiritual Palace for two years and was younger than Xu Xiaoshou, so she naturally wanted to call her senior.
"Not good, not good!"
Seeing her walking up, Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself, maybe this girl wants to admit defeat?
Even if you carry a sword on your back, you might cut me, but even so, I won't mind it, as long as you earn passive points.
But what's your expression like? Your Eight Realm strength and cultivation level are higher than mine. Let's be a little confident, okay?
Xu Xiaoshou was afraid that the referee would start the game together, and the girl would immediately admit defeat. He immediately rushed to say:
"Being timid before fighting is a big taboo against the enemy; running away without fighting is a shame for spiritual refinement; being surrendered is a stain on life!"
Di Xiner was stunned. She did have such an idea, but when she thought that she only had two chances to fight, she hesitated.
Hearing Xu Xiaoshou's words at this time, he immediately accepted the reality and decided to have a good fight.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, Xin'er has learned a lesson!"
"Being grateful, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled, showing a teachable expression.
It's a good sign to get off to a good start before the war begins.
The referee had a change of heart towards him. He didn't expect this disgusting Xu Xiaoshou to say these words. He was so out of place!
