After defeating Du Ruolong, Ye Nianhan won the first place in the Shadow Chasing Tower without any suspense.
On the main stage, eight governors stood behind Wei Huating and discussed quietly.
Someone asked: "That sword skill just now... seems to be Yuan Jiang's Nianzi Sword Technique, right?"
"Yes." The man named Yuan Jiang nodded slightly, "There are three moves in the chanting technique, and that move is the sword of death."
"Nanzi Jue is a technique that is not taught in the original government. How did Ye Nianhan learn it?"
Yuan Jiang shook his head and frowned: "I don't know either."
Tao An said: "I remember that when I went to Fengyun County to investigate before, I learned that they had been lucky enough to enter the tomb."
The spiritual tomb is the incarnation of a god, and it is very famous among spiritual practitioners throughout the world.
After Tao An's explanation, everyone immediately understood: "It seems that it was given to this girl by the deceased senior of your original residence."
Yuan Jiang nodded again: "That should be the case."
He doesn't pay much attention to the so-called uninherited skills. In his opinion, good spiritual skills should be used in the hands of the right people.
He thinks Ye Nianhan is very suitable.
Yuanjiang thought about the pedantic gossip in his family again, and thought that no matter what, since he had learned Yuanfu's chanting skills, he would still need to talk to her in the future.
Ye Nianhan's victory in the Shadow Chasing Tower this time has undoubtedly erased all the negative effects she had brought before, and she even has a vague sense of "don't bully young people who are poor".
However, the game is fast-paced after all. Before the residual heat of the shadow-chasing tower has passed, the clouds and mist have begun.
This was a competition without any suspense. With the help of Yi Meng, Yun Xi made great progress and won the first place easily.
Many people can't understand how Yun Xi broke the formation so easily.
Yunfeng and Qin Susheng already knew it. After the first round, they asked Yunxi privately about the matter. Yunxi did not hide it and told them about Yimeng's existence.
There is the soul of a nightmare beast in Yun Xi's body, and the two even signed a symbiosis contract.
This is something that is unbelievable.
However, after a dream appeared in front of the two of them, they had to accept this reality.
This also explains very well why Yun Xi broke through the formation so quickly, even Ying Nian Ling couldn't beat her.
Ying Nian Ling's method of breaking the formation is very simple. She relies on the talisman technique to find the center or exit of the formation. If the formation is simple, she can find a way to break it in one go.
But if the formation is too complex, then the number of times she needs to explore will be many, and the time required will also increase.
In comparison, the Nightmare Beast, which is an array spirit beast, is indeed more powerful in this regard.
However, the Nightmare Beast is one of the top ten beasts of the Monster Clan. Naturally, the existence of Yimeng cannot be disclosed to the public, which will bring many complicated effects.
Yunfeng was very understanding of Yunxi's concealment.
After the disappearance of the clouds, competitions such as the Soul-Living Fantasy Land, the Sword Mountain Competition, the Beast Spirit Competition, and the Deep Sea Advance are also progressing steadily.
Compared with the shadow-chasing tower in the first game, there were a lot less fluctuations in the subsequent games.
In the Soul-Living Fantasy Realm, Li Wu once again relied on his extraordinary willpower to win first place, while a very interesting situation occurred in the Battle of Knife Mountain.
That is, Ying Nianling and Shao Jiangrong are divided into the same half area.
The result can be imagined, the two met in the top four, and Shao Jiangrong was defeated again at the hands of Ying Nian Ling.
Later in the Beast Spirit Competition, Li Xinyu and the others worked steadily and finally got a good ranking of seventh place.
Yuanhai Qijin also replicated the results of Yun Xiying and Nian Ling, with Xiao Lingyuan and the other three taking first place again.
In the second round of the Tianling Reward Group, Qi Feng won the first place in the group with a more obvious advantage. It is no exaggeration to say that Qi Feng has basically locked in the first place in the D Group.
Anyone can see that Yuhuan University no longer has the ability to compete with Qi Feng for first place.
This team, which has the highest proportion of girls among the 135 participating teams in the Tianling Awards, has undoubtedly become the biggest dark horse of this Tianling Awards.
After the second round of group stage competition, the students of Qi Feng felt much more relaxed and were able to take first place in the group, which many of them had never thought about at the beginning.
In the next few days, Qi Feng gradually put aside his practice for the group stage and instead turned to preparing for the knockout rounds.
If the group stage is a test in many aspects, then the knockout round is a pure competition of strength, but the way of this competition is also quite interesting.
Qifeng has Yun Xi and Ying Nian Ling, but other colleges and universities are not fuel-efficient. If they just barely entered the knockout round, that's it. But since they rushed into the knockout round as the first in the group, why can't they enter the knockout round as the first place in the group?
Ranking first in Tianling Awards as the ultimate goal?
Even Yun Xi didn't go to watch the subsequent games. Qi Feng's group all went to work overtime to practice and train. Only Qin Susheng and Yun Feng, as the instructors, were going to help them observe the games of other colleges and universities, and have a good influence on their future.
Have a preliminary understanding of the opponent.
This situation continued until the third round of the group stage started...and ended again.
……
Tianling Calendar Chongzun 5321, August 11th.
The group stage of this Tianling Award has officially ended, the rankings of each group have been revealed, and the thirty-six teams selected to enter the knockout round have been determined.
On this day, the people of Fengyun County looked at the promotion list of the nine groups with tears of excitement.
[First place in Group D: Praying to be admitted to a university]
[Fourth in Geng Group: Fengyun University]
Yes, in addition to Qi Feng, Fengyun University also stepped on the last train of the Geng Group and narrowly entered the knockout round with the fourth place in the group.
This is the first time in the history of Fengyun County that two teams have entered the knockout round. The king of Fengyun County is not to mention how happy he is.
As for Tianyuan High School, although they failed to enter the knockout rounds, Li Zixiao's performance in the Tianling Awards group stage was obvious to all.
According to Qin Susheng, it seems that after the Group A competition, many high-level Wus have contacted Li Zixiao, trying to recruit her into their schools.
However, Li Zixiao refused very decisively, and the reason for the refusal was very simple.
She wants to wait until the Tianling Award is completely over before making a decision.
After the group stage ends, it’s time to prepare for the knockout rounds.
Compared with the group stage, which is divided into six formats, the knockout round is much simpler, with only one way of competition from beginning to end.
The knockout round adopts a double-elimination format. It is divided into upper and lower half zones, with eighteen teams in each half zone.
The teams in the two halves of the zone will engage in a secret team battle between the teams according to the grouping. The winner will move on, and the loser will enter the loser group.
The final champion will be chosen between the winner's group and the loser's group.
The half-point grouping situation was determined by drawing lots. After the Ren group match ended, everyone did not disperse.
Tan Tian stood on the central competition stage of the Zhutian Spirit Field. There was a small glass box suspended in front of him. There were ten small pure black balls in the box.
Tan Tianlang said: "Please send a representative from each team that has advanced to the knockout round."
In order to show fairness, this draw will be left to the players to decide.
After discussing with each other, Qi Feng High School and Fengyun High School respectively sent two captains, Yun Xi and Feng Weiyan, to the stage as representatives.
"Xiao Xi, come on and draw a good lot!"
Xiao Lingyuan said crisply.
Yun Xi smiled confidently and pointed at herself with a thumb: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
However, when Yun Xi said these words, everyone's smiles suddenly froze, and their expressions became extremely charming.
Yun Xi was angry: "What do you mean? Didn't you say you wanted me to come on!"
Xiao Lingyuan blinked: "Xiao Xi, we can hope you can work harder, but you'd better not speak."
"Get out of here!"
Yun Xi rebuked boldly and walked towards the competition stage angrily.
Everyone clearly thinks she has a crow's mouth, but the previous times were clearly just coincidences!
Coming to the competition stage, the thirty-six contestants are all captains of major teams.
Up there, Yun Xi met many old acquaintances.
Ling Xiaoyun, Chen Qiaoxu, Wei Wenlong... and even Tian Ye!
Tian Ye also led the people from Tianluo County to the tomb and obtained the inheritance. This year they also rushed into the knockout round with strong strength.
When everyone saw Yun Xi, they all greeted her with a smile, and Yun Xi also smiled politely back.
Back in Hunyuan Prefecture, everyone was a comrade-in-arms, but now in Tianling Shang, they have finally become rivals.
Compared to those in the Demon Continent, Yun Xi actually wants to fight them more.
Although she was born as a daughter, the warlike blood in her soul still continued.
Tan Tian looked at the representative players of these major teams and said: "Representatives of the nine top teams in the group are invited to come out and draw lots."
Lingxiao Yun, Xia Qingyao, Yun Xi and others came out of the queue one after another and came to the lottery box.
There are ten small balls in the lottery box, five of which represent the upper half and five of which represent the lower half.
The nine teams are divided into four or five groups and are divided into two halves.
According to the groups in the group stage, the nine representatives were drawn in order.
The first person to draw lots was Xu Yansheng, the first representative of Group A.
He reached into the glass box, hesitated, took out a small ball, and opened it.
In the ball is a red piece of paper with the word "上" written on it.
This means that Jingxu University is classified into the top half.
"Jingxu University, upper half district."
Tan Tian announced loudly.
After Xu Yansheng retreated, Xia Qingyao, the first representative of Group B, stepped forward.
She acted swiftly and resolutely, reached in and grabbed a small ball and took out a small ball.
Open the ball, and inside is a blue note with the word "下" written on it.
"Qingyuan University, lower half area."
Xia Qingyao didn't care at all about the grouping. After she left with an expressionless expression, Wei Wenlong from Group C walked up.
He still wears Confucian clothes, has long hair, and exudes a gentle and Confucian temperament.
After giving a slight salute to Tan Tian, he also took out a small ball.
After opening it, the paper inside is blue.
"Jiangming University, lower half."
Following Tan Tian's announcement, there was an uproar in the venue.
Although everyone knows that there are only two divisions, and some teams will always meet in the same half of the division, they still can't help but feel surprised and regretful after seeing the two favorites to win the championship established in the bottom half so early.
Because this means that one of these two teams will definitely enter the loser group.
After Group C, there is Group D.
Wei Wenlong retreated into the crowd, and Yun Xi walked out.
She raised her head and glanced at her friends in the audience.
Everyone raised their little fists at her and cheered her on.
‘Ha! Since you don’t believe me, I’ll draw a good lot and show it to you!’
With resentment, Yun Xi quickly stretched out her hand and took out a small ball without hesitation!
Everyone stared closely at the ball in her hand, with indescribable nervousness on their brows.
For Qi Feng, he naturally hopes that he can go to the relatively weaker half of the district.
As for the other top players in the group, they are not willing to encounter Qi Feng prematurely.
Because the number of players required to participate in the knockout round is no longer ten, the smaller the number of players required, the more advantage Qi Feng has with two mid-stage early spirit players!
There is no hesitation in saying that Qi Feng is not only the biggest dark horse in the entire Tianling Awards, he is also a truly strong favorite to win the championship!
Under countless pairs of scorching eyes, Yun Xi slowly opened the ball.
‘Watch me smoke it...’
When that ray of blue caught Yun Xi's eyes, Yun Xi's expression was stunned.
After she paused for a while, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Lingyuan and others.
Xiao Lingyuan, Ye Nianhan, Nangong Yao and the others saw Yun Xi's eyes and immediately got the information.
All three of them sighed slightly, covered their faces with their hands, and leaned slumped on their seats.
Yun Xi took out the note. The blue note was particularly eye-catching in the sunset.
"Pray for the title of high school, lower half area."
This time, the whole audience was really shocked. Who would have thought that in the first four draws, the three favorites would be directly assigned to the same half zone!
As soon as such a grouping was announced, the players and the audience were shocked and excited, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the next knockout round.
Although some viewers who support two or even three of the teams do not want to see the teams they support meet so early, it also shows one thing. After this half-district encounter, if they want to meet again, then
It’s the finals!
On the main stage, several governors also smiled with interest. Tao An smiled and said: "This year's knockout competition is quite interesting."
"I would like to see what kind of situation the second half of the district will end up in."
They don't care who wins or loses, but since they were sent to supervise this Tianling Award, they naturally want to see the most exciting and fierce competition.
The drawing continues.
After Group D, Lu Longchang, the first representative of Group E, came on the stage. He stood in front of the lottery box and paused.
Lu Longchang's Yiting University and Yuhuan University are actually somewhat similar. Although the overall strength is very strong, it ranks low among the top teams in the nine major counties.
He doesn't really want to meet the three gods in the lower half.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Longchang took out a small ball.
Open it up, the long-lost red color.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yiting University, upper half district."
Yiting High School was assigned to the upper half, which is not good news for the lower half, because it means that at least one of the remaining four teams will come to the lower half.
And the remaining four teams... are all very powerful teams in this year's Tianling Awards.
After Lu Longchang returned to the crowd, Ling Xiaoyun, who had formed his own group, stepped forward.
With a slight smile on his face, he didn't care about the so-called upper and lower halves, because Tianling High School's goal is to win the championship, and he is not afraid of any opponent!
