The drawing ceremony is conducted on the spot to prevent cheating.
It is divided into four groups: east, west, south and north. Ye Xiong is drawn to the south group, Ye Wentian is in the east group, Lu Yao is in the west group, and Jingtian Fenni is in the north group.
The monks who were considered the strongest avoided each other.
After being divided into groups, the match list came out. Ye Xiong's first match was against a demon monk named Gama.
For this competition, Ye Xiong was full of confidence. Except for Ye Wentian, he did not take any opponent to heart.
"You'd better not let me down, I will wait for you in the end." Ye Wentian walked over, dropped these words and left.
"I won't let you down, I will make you despair." Ye Xiong replied before leaving with Lu Yao.
After being divided into groups, everyone around them went back. Except for some people who didn't have much confidence, they studied their opponents with their friends, like Ye Xiong and Lu Yao. There was only one target they were worried about, and that was Ye Wentian.
Early the next morning, tens of thousands of kilometers above Sanqing Temple, there were already crowds of people.
There is a vacuum zone of millions of kilometers in the middle, which is divided into a combat zone. After all, for monks in this realm, distance can no longer limit it. It can only be restricted by rules. They are not allowed to leave this range, otherwise
If so, in the battle between these monks, many people would die just from the fluctuations.
In the middle, two huge arenas were set up with spirit stone energy, and both sides competed at the same time.
There were countless monks watching around, from each of the six paths. Ye Xiong saw that the masters of the previous sects of the Demon Sect were all present.
For example, Luo Yuemei's sect master and Heiyu's sect master were all present.
After the time was up, the Sanqing Taoist leader showed up, and after briefly explaining some rules, the competition officially began.
The first match was between Situ Quan from the Demon Sect and a female cultivator from the Elf Tribe. After a fierce battle, Situ Quan was defeated.
The second game was against a ghost cultivator from the Buddhist sect, Jingtian Fenni. Jingtian Fenni easily defeated his opponent.
After all, Jingtian Fanni is the oldest among the contestants in this Buddhist realm. This is her last realm. She naturally wants to achieve good results, and her fighting power is equally astonishing.
Ye Xiong's battle was arranged relatively far back, with Lu Yao still in front of him.
When Lu Yao came on the stage, she easily defeated her opponent without any suspense.
After all, the competition is a competition based on strength. It is clear to everyone who has what strength.
In order to prevent the strong from meeting each other, the previous games pitted the strong against the weak, with almost no suspense.
Almost none of these strong men contributed any effort, they were all accumulating their strength, waiting for the final decisive moment.
There was a game in the morning and a game in the afternoon. Ye Xiong easily defeated two opponents and entered his group of top four.
The second opponent was a disciple of Buddhism. The opponent was afraid of being retaliated by Ye Xiong and did not even have the courage to fight, so he voluntarily gave up.
After all, when Ye Xiong was still at the peak of refining, he could kill four divine guards from the Temple of Light in the early stage of refining the void, and also beheaded a divine guard chief. Now that he has advanced, how terrifying will his strength be? Fight him.
Just to die.
At the end of the whole day, there was no doubt that we entered the semi-finals of the group.
The final match list is out.
East group: Ye Wentian, Luo Yuemei, Wulian monk, Meng Zhan.
South Group: Ye Xiong, Luo Tiannan, Wu Xin, Morey,
West group: Lu Yao, Chen Feng, Chi Tong, Hua Luo.
North group: Jingtian Fenni, Styx River, Jianghai, Xueluo.
Among the list of sixteen people, the majority are Buddhists, namely Jingtian Fenni, Chen Feng, Wutian, and Wulian.
There are four people in the Taoist temple, namely Ye Wentian, Luo Tiannan, Chi Tong, and Jiang Hai.
The two members of the Demon Sect: Ye Xiong, Luo Yuemei, and even Heiyu, who was very powerful in actual combat, were eliminated.
Two people in the ghost realm: Lu Yao and Ming He.
Two demon clan members: Morey and Meng Zhan.
Two people from Elf Island: Hua Luo and Xue Luo Jue are twin sisters, and they are both peerless geniuses of the Elf clan.
Judging from the number, Taoism and Buddhism have the largest number of monks who have entered the top sixteen, accounting for half of the number.
Ye Xiong has been to Buddhism and knows that Buddhism is much stronger than the ghost realm of the Demon Sect.
"The list of the top 16 has been released. In order to show fairness, there will be a chance to revive in the next game. The losing team can choose to challenge any one of the top eight. If the challenge is successful, they will replace the other party in the top eight.
Those who fail will also have a chance to challenge. After that, the top four and the top two are all the same and have the qualifications to be resurrected and challenge." Taoist Priest Sanqing said.
In this way, we can avoid the situation of being eliminated due to strong encounters.
"Okay, let's draw lots again!"
Next, there is the drawing of lots again. This time the drawing is different from the last time. There is no distinction between strong and weak. It is all random.
From one to sixteen, whichever two people have the same number is the opponent.
A group of people lined up and Sanqing Taoist leader walked past him and pulled out a ball with numbers written on it from the box in front of him.
Ye Xiong took it out and looked at it. The number was 4, an unlucky name.
"Each of you now has a ball in your hand. Let's light up and start registering."
Sixteen people showed their balls one after another.
Ye Xiong took a look and found that his opponent was an unknown person, the elder sister of the elf twin sisters, Hua Luo.
Lu Yao's opponent is an opponent he knows, Chen Feng.
Ye Wentian's opponent turned out to be Luo Tiannan, who was also from the Taoist sect.
"We have already registered. Let's all go back and have a night's rest. We will meet here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Anyone who is late will give up."
Following the order from Sanqing Taoist leader, the people around him dispersed one after another.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, sixteen people appeared in the air on time, ready for the next battle.
The first match today is between Lu Yao from Guiyu and Chen Feng from Cihang Buddhist Academy.
"Beiyu, this Chen Feng is an enemy of mine. I hope you can help me get rid of him soon." Ye Xiong said.
With so many people around, Ye Xiong naturally didn't dare to call Lu Yao's real name.
"Why did you have a grudge against him?" Lu Yao asked strangely.
Ye Xiong immediately told her about his participation in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Clan in Buddhism.
Hearing that after Ye Xiong was abandoned by Daodao Temple, Chen Feng added insult to injury, Lu Yao immediately became angry.
"Don't worry, I won't let him die so easily." Lu Yao said coldly.
At this time, Sanqing had already arrived in mid-air, holding a list of names in his hand, and shouted: "The first match will be between Ghostland Lu Beiyu and Buddhist Chen Feng. Please come on, both sides."
Two streams of light fell next to Sanqing Taoist leader and stood face to face.
"You all know the rules, I won't say any more, let's get started!"
After the Sanqing Taoist leader finished speaking, he left the center, leaving the stage for the two of them.
"Miss Lu, please show mercy!" Chen Feng cupped his hands in a polite manner.
For a girl as beautiful as Lu Yao, as the most beautiful female disciple among the contestants, Chen Feng naturally wanted to leave a good impression on the other party.
"Young Master Chen, you are too polite. You should be merciful."
Lu Yao responded politely, raising an imperceptible cruel smile at the corner of her mouth.
