The deacon said curiously: "Surrendering before fighting is not the style of my Xingluo Palace disciples. If you admit defeat, you will lose the face of the sect and your master."
"It's not a shame." No. 26 shook his head affirmatively, "I had a battle with Qin Wushuang. That battle was just over a month ago. In that battle, I couldn't beat him. In this more than a month
, I have been recovering from my injuries and have just recovered. My cultivation has not improved, but he seems to have improved his level. Giving up on this battle is a wise move. It is unwise to do it knowing that it cannot be done. "
The deacon suddenly realized: "So, that's right. Since you have decided the winner more than a month ago, there is really no need to compete in this battle. The beauty of a gentleman. Although you admit defeat in this battle, your magnanimity is extraordinary.
.Compared with those people who are obsessed with stalking, they are actually at a higher level."
"Thank you for your compliment, sir. I'll take my leave."
Number 26 glanced at Qin Wushuang from afar, feeling unhappy in his heart, but he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
The deacon walked up to the stage and said loudly: "Qin Wushuang, your opponent took the initiative to admit defeat. In this round, you automatically advance!"
Qin Wushuang was stunned. Based on his understanding of that person, he was not fighting against someone who had previously surrendered. Since he was an old opponent in this round, there was nothing new to show. He originally planned to fight quickly in this round.
, but unexpectedly, the other party actually gave up on his own initiative.
Little did he know that he was able to win without a fight this time, but it was the hall master's words that made it possible for him to advance easily this time.
In this way, Qin Wushuang can be said to be the easiest person to advance to the top sixteen.
Of course, he was not the only one who was relaxed. Wei Yi's opponent, after symbolically resisting for three or four rounds, chose to surrender without hesitation.
He didn't want to be like Wei Yi's opponent last year, who was knocked off the stage in embarrassment and injured. Facing a pervert like Wei Yi, a few token resistances were enough.
Even if he goes back, the master can't blame him.
Qin Wushuang walked around in front of each martial arts performance stage. He was also very concerned about the fighting situation of his brothers.
As he was walking, a gaze suddenly came to him and was locked on him.
He didn't even need to look at it to know that the owner of this look was such a familiar look, that it was Senior Brother Wei Yi, the leader of the younger generation of Xingluo Palace.
Wei Yi did not expect that Qin Wushuang would take the initiative to greet him and said with a faint smile: "Junior brother Qin, are you done with the battle?"
"Well, this round was very lucky. Senior Brother Wei, you are the happiest. I heard that your opponents are basically timid before fighting, and take the initiative to admit defeat, haha."
Qin Wushuang's kindness made Wei Yi feel that he was being too nervous. He immediately smiled and said: "Those junior brothers are too flattering. It's okay for the junior brothers to compete with each other. There is no need to deliberately give in. You have to give in."
As a senior brother, I have a chance to warm up."
"Yeah, that's true."
Qin Wushuang looked ahead and said with a smile, "I'm going to look around, please, senior brother."
Wei Yi nodded: "Please."
The two of them passed by each other, and the two brightest pearls of the younger generation of Xingluo Palace completed their first communication in the true sense.
Although Qin Wushuang had spoken to Wei Yi during the last ring competition, they had no other thoughts at all at that time and were relatively simple.
But this time, because of this competitive relationship, it seems to have a bit of a peculiar smell.
The third round of the competition was indeed a real fight. Two pairs of seed players met, and the battle was extremely fierce. They stood until the sun went down, and then the winner was decided.
After this round of decisive battle, it is of course extremely regrettable to be eliminated.
The winner means entering the top sixteen, which is the seed player for the next core disciple assessment.
This list naturally has some changes from last year. But the changes are not big. Except for the two pairs where the seeded players met, there were no cases where the seeded players failed.
In other words, the entire top 16 list only has two changes compared to last year.
Here at Qingyun Palace, the harvest is still huge.
Last year, Qingyun Temple only had three places in the top sixteen. But this time, on the basis of the original three places, Qin Wushuang appeared.
Among the top sixteen, four are from Qingyun Palace. This is easy, so naturally it is quite remarkable.
There are six places for the chance encounters of the main hall master's lineage, and the other three main hall masters' disciples each occupy two places.
In this way, although the gap between Qingyun Palace and the main lineage of the main palace still exists, it is also invisibly far away from the other three palaces.
Tan Zhongchi was extremely proud. His biggest wish now was that the four disciples under his sect should not encounter each other in the fourth round of duel.
Only in this way can more promotion places be guaranteed. Once the fourth round is won, it means that the winner will directly enter the top eight and lock in the top ten places.
As of now, those who are left in each lineage are basically elites.
The following duel must be more difficult each round. Tan Zhongchi did not need to mobilize anything, he just said: "This fourth round is crucial. If you win, you will be directly in the top eight and lock the top ten seats. If you lose,
It doesn’t matter, because there is still a chance to compete for ninth and tenth. Remember, top ten! Below ten, there is not much difference.”
All the disciples nodded solemnly. The battle situation has reached its current situation. In addition to performance, it also depends on the draw.
First, don’t touch Wei Yi, and second, don’t encounter disciples of the same lineage.
This is almost the common mentality of disciples from all walks of life.
The match day of the fourth round arrived as promised.
The lottery ceremony is even more eye-catching. Everyone knows that after this round, the winner will directly lock in the top ten seats.
Which eight will be the last lucky ones, and will the top five masters meet in advance? These suspense have aroused the interest of all Xingluo Palace disciples. Even the old guys are looking forward to it.
On the one hand, he hopes that the disciples of his own lineage will not encounter Wei Yi. At the same time, he also vaguely hopes that the top five disciples of other lines will have an early duel with Wei Yi.
All in all, all wishful thinking is aimed at oneself, and any misfortune is hoped to be poured out on others.
But the results of the lottery will obviously not be changed due to human will.
The sixteen draws are well distributed, and the draws are still drawn in pairs.
Qin Wushuang did not expect that in this round of drawing lots, he would drink the soup and be the first to be caught.
But his opponent is the fourth disciple from the main lineage of the main hall, the supreme master who ranked seventh last year.
Number ninety-two, against number seven.
This ranking comparison seems to be a huge gap. But at this stage of the battle, no one thought that the content of this duel would be as disparate as the ranking gap.
However, onlookers felt that Qin Wushuang's lottery was definitely not a good one, and at best it was just a winning lottery.
If Qin Wushuang's lottery is a winning lottery, then the lottery of Qingyun Palace's second disciple Lu Teng can definitely be called a lottery!
What he drew was the strongest disciple of the Four Hall Masters, the fourth seed in last year’s core ranking competition—Deng Bohu!
Lu Teng, ranked eighth last time. Although he is very powerful, everyone knows that the gap between eighth and fourth is still very obvious for the younger generation of Xingluo Palace.
The top five disciples of Xingluo Palace are all at the successor level of each palace, and their strength is much ahead of the other disciples. Since Deng Bohu is the first disciple of the four hall masters, his strength is about the same as that of Zhou Fu, not to mention
Is it Lu Teng?
Lu Teng thought that he was the one with the worst draw in Qingyun Palace. Unexpectedly, the third disciple Jian Rui's draw was even worse than him, and his opponent turned out to be - Wei Yi!
Wei Yi, whom no one wants to face.
Even Tan Zhongchi secretly cursed in his mind that the fortune of this lottery was really average. He drew three disciples, but none of them had a good lottery. Especially Lu Teng's lottery, it was very likely to affect his plan to get three top ten places.
Fortunately, Qingyun Palace got another good draw. Zhou Fu's opponent was one of the two weaker ones among the top sixteen.
As a result, the situation at Qingyun Palace becomes very complicated.
The upper lot has it, the middle lot has it, the lower lot has it, and the lower lot has it too.
Tan Zhongchi's eyes swept across the faces of the four disciples, and lingered on Lu Teng's face for a moment. He was obviously hinting that if he was unable to defeat him, he would give up strategically and strive to win the ninth place in the next game.
and tenth place!
Although for Lu Teng personally, this was a step back in ranking, for Qingyun Palace as a whole, it was a strategic move.
Tan Zhongchi knows very well whether he can successfully obtain three of the top ten places. The answer lies in the variable Lu Teng. If he chooses to fight Deng Bohu head-on, resulting in excessive consumption or even serious injury, then the battle for the second half of the top 16 will
It will definitely be affected, and it is very likely that we will not even be qualified to compete for ninth or tenth place.
But if he makes a strategic concession and enters the second half, his strength will be very advantageous, and he will be ninth or tenth, which is basically a certainty.
As for the third disciple Jian Rui, when he met the pervert Wei Yi, Tan Zhongchi's only request for him was to support his appearance and admit defeat.
Whoever meets Wei Yi is unlucky. This is a rule of the ages, and there is nothing to say about it.
Zhou Fu won and was promoted to the top eight, so there was no doubt about it. Qin Wushuang faced off against the fourth disciple of the main hall master, number seven in the previous term.
Tan Zhongchi always believed that Qin Wushuang would win, not No. 7!
Eight pairs of contestants walked onto the martial arts stage respectively. Qin Wushuang's opponent had also been waiting there for a long time. Qin Wushuang remembered that Zhou Fu once mentioned that the fourth disciple of the main hall master seemed to be named Hong Li and had a cold and sinister personality.
Lie.
Hong Li was very angry when he heard that in the last round, the Ninth Junior Brother faced Qin Wushuang and surrendered without a fight. Therefore, after drawing Qin Wushuang, he decided to teach Qin Wushuang a lesson to avenge the previous round!
