By the time Ye Ming and Zheng Nan's group arrived in front of the high platform, other disciples who had passed the audition had already gathered here.
Looking around, I realized that the words of the third elder before were indeed very accurate.
The passing rate for this audition is indeed only 10%.
Originally tens of thousands of disciples participated in the audition, but now the number of disciples gathered in front of the high platform was only a few thousand.
The ratio may even be lower than 10%.
Seeing this scene, the Huang-level disciples around Mu Yun couldn't help but feel very lucky.
In my heart, I am even more grateful to Ye Ming, Senior Brother Duan.
Because judging from the current pass rate, we know that the difficulty of this audition is indeed not small.
If it weren't for Senior Brother Duan's help, there is a high probability that they would not have the chance to stand here and prepare to participate in the next knockout round.
At this time, the great elder on the high platform spoke again.
"Okay, now the second round of eliminations has officially begun!"
“As I said before, the knockout rounds are divided into three different formats.
That is to enter the formation, challenge by name, and random challenge."
"Now you can choose from them, and then stand in different areas to prepare for the next assessment."
"And the time you have to think about it is only the time of a stick of incense."
"Start the clock now!"
As the great elder finished speaking, all the disciples immediately took action.
Begins to quickly gather towards the selected area.
Ye Mingxuanji and others, as well as Zheng Nan's group, all walked to the area where the challenge was called and stood in a tacit understanding.
Among them, Zheng Nan even deliberately walked near Ye Ming and others.
Look at them with disdain.
Said: "Senior Brother Duan, I was worried before that you would not dare to choose to challenge by name and go to other areas. I didn't expect that you are really brave!"
Ye Ming responded with a smile: "Junior brother Zheng, looking at your performance in the audition just now, I am actually more worried that you will not dare to fulfill your previous challenge agreement and run to other areas. I didn't expect you to be quite brave.
So, with the same words, I will give it to you now.
Also, I hope you won’t run away from my challenge for a while, and it’s best to show your strength and not lose too quickly.”
"You..." Zheng Nan's face suddenly turned cold and he was extremely angry.
What made him even more annoyed was that Duanmu Qing still had a sinister tone at this time and said to Duan Tiancheng: "Brother, looking at how exhausted Junior Brother Zheng was when he passed the audition just now, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it for a while.
Fa is going all out to compete with you, so if you hope that he can perform better, you will definitely be in vain.
Junior Brother Zheng, why not just wait for you to relax for a while, and then compete with my elder brother after you have fully recovered.
Or, brother, please remember to be merciful later and don’t let Junior Brother Zheng lose too badly and lose face in public.”
"Duanmuqing, you..."
Zheng Nan was almost furious.
Duanmu Qing glared at Duanmu Qing, his eyes filled with blazing anger.
Before, he called the other party Senior Sister Duanmu, but now he calls her by her first name.
At this time, a group of senior brothers around Zheng Nan realized that their own Junior Brother Zheng wanted to quarrel with Senior Brother Duan and Senior Sister Duanmu, but there was absolutely no chance of winning.
So they all opened their mouths to persuade.
"Forget it, Junior Brother Zheng, there is no point in bickering like this."
"Yeah, being good-mouthed doesn't mean you're strong! The competition is not about bickering, but about real strength!"
"Junior Brother Zheng, instead of bickering with them, why not wait a while and directly slap them in the face during the fight!"
"That's right! Junior Brother Zheng, we are all optimistic about you and believe that you will definitely win!"
"They may just want to provoke you on purpose, Junior Brother Zheng, don't be fooled!"
…
Zheng Nan gradually calmed down under the comforting words of many fellow disciples.
He snorted at Duanmu Qing and Duan Tiancheng and said, "Okay! Let's wait and see who will lose face after a while! Humph!"
By this time, thousands of disciples had completed their selections and stood in their chosen areas.
Perhaps it was because the formations in the previous auditions were slightly more difficult, which left many people with psychological shadows, so the number of disciples who chose to enter the formations was, relatively speaking, the smallest.
There are only a few thousand people.
The rest were divided between named challenges and random challenges.
On the high platform, the Great Elder smiled and said: "Very good! It seems that everyone has made the wisest choice. In this case, let the knockout rounds officially begin!"
With the Great Elder's order, the elimination round officially began.
Let’s not mention the two competition systems, battle formation and random challenge, for now.
As for the roll call challenge that Ye Ming chose, just after the referee announced the rules of the game, Zheng Nan immediately raised his hand and wanted to speak.
As a result, he was overtaken by someone and spoke first: "Master referee, I want to have a duel with this junior brother Zheng Nan!"
"What?"
Everyone immediately looked towards where the sound came from.
They were simply curious and surprised.
I didn't expect someone to pick their opponent so quickly.
This seems a bit too hasty, right?
Or is it that this person has actually colluded with others for a long time, and is he deliberately preempting the showdown with his opponent who has already colluded with him?
If this is the case, can the referee see the flaw?
If it can be seen, what will be done?
And if the referee can't see anything, what will happen?
However, those disciples who had witnessed the battle between Brother Duan, or Ye Ming, and Zheng Nan at the foot of the mountain before, now that they saw Ye Ming's actions, they all knew why Ye Ming did what he did.
So everyone immediately started to harbor gossip and began to look forward to the duel as soon as possible.
As for Zheng Nan at this time, he had no idea that Senior Brother Duan Tiancheng would actually want to compete with him.
And the other party took the initiative to propose a duel with him!
He really didn't know where the other party got the courage to do this!
Could it be that Duan Tiancheng really thought that his cultivation had reached the earth level?
Or, did Duan Tiancheng see how exhausted he looked after just passing the audition, and thought he could take advantage of it, so he took the initiative to request a duel from the referee?
No matter what the reason is...
"Hmph! Duan Tiancheng, Duan Tiancheng, just wait and see! I must let you know that what you are doing now is completely seeking death!"
Zheng Nan gritted his teeth and swore in his heart.
On the surface, he appears very calm.
Look at the referee with a smile and wait for the referee's decision!
At this time, after hearing Ye Ming's words, the referee turned his head and looked at Zheng Nan.
