Wei Yi explained unhurriedly: "The first thing in this competition is to see how many people from each country enter the semi-finals. If there are more places, there will be an advantage here."
"There are advantages to having more places?" From Qin Wushuang's point of view, martial arts competitions rely on real skills. You have more people. If you just try to make up for the numbers, and you encounter a being who is absolutely stronger, it won't work if you have more people.
"Yes, this advantage is obvious!" Wei Yi said with certainty, "For example, if there is a country with eight people in the semi-finals. Then of these eight people, half are defenders and half are attackers.
Any contestant among the challengers and attackers has four opportunities to challenge another country. There are two opponents in total, and the total is eight opportunities to challenge."
"Of course, this is only a theoretical challenge opportunity. Maybe some players who are not strong enough lose the first challenge, so they will naturally be eliminated directly. They have no chance to challenge and can only be challenged. And according to the rules
, the challenge is for the attacker, and only the attacker has points. The person being challenged, regardless of victory or defeat, is the defender, and is not eligible for points."
"For mediocre players, there is not much difference whether it is two opportunities or eight opportunities. But for experts, two or eight opportunities means many more opportunities to score points!"
Speaking of this, Qin Wushuang glanced at Qin Wushuang, which was quite meaningful.
In this way, if a certain country only has seven places to enter the semi-finals, not only will the distribution of attackers and defenders have fewer places than others, resulting in an unbalanced offensive and defensive situation, this disadvantage will become very obvious.
Qin Wushuang knew what this look meant. Indeed, he and Wei Yi were both masters of Xingluo Palace, so perhaps only the two of them had this opportunity to increase their points.
"Junior Brother Qin, this challenge opportunity is not a mechanical repetition. After each challenge, the next challenge will increase in difficulty. The first time is one-on-one, the second time is one-on-two, and so on.
"
Qin Wushuang finally understood this time why Wei Yi said that the content of this competition was very different. It sounded indeed completely different, and it also avoided any chance of drawing lots.
The first challenge is one-on-one, and each time you challenge, there will be one more opponent. The difficulty will naturally continue to increase.
Qin Wushuang asked: "But what if nine or even ten people from a certain country enter the semi-finals?"
Wei Yi grinned and said seriously: "With nine people, the number of attacks is still four. If there are ten people, there will be five opportunities. The advantage and disadvantage of numbers will be reflected. If there are three people in a country,
Defenders, if the attacking side wins the third round, and if the defending side does not have enough people in the fourth round, it will be equivalent to defeat without a fight, allowing the other side to gain points in vain!"
Qin Wushuang felt a shiver in his heart, and then he understood why the number of people qualifying after the preliminary round was so important. According to this calculation, if someone can win consecutively during the challenge, the advantage in the quota will be too obvious.
Smiling slightly, Qin Wushuang was not overly ecstatic, but said: "With one against three, or even one against four, the chance of winning is slim."
Wei Yi shook his head and said: "It's not slim. In one against four, you don't have to knock down all four to be considered a winner. You only need to knock down any one of them to win. Because you can win with one against four."
When there are fewer enemies and more enemies, if you can still defeat one opponent, it means you have the upper hand. Therefore, it is very important for the defender to contain the opponent. Contain the opponent within the specified time so that he cannot defeat anyone.
Successful defense!"
Defeating one is considered victory. This is indeed very difficult for the defender. Qin Wushuang couldn't help but ask: "If so, wouldn't the tacit understanding and cooperation of the defender be very important? If there is a clever formation,
Wouldn’t it be easy to deal with this situation?”
Wei Yi sighed: "Among the major forces in the three eastern countries, there is no one with superior formations. However, the competition stipulates that the defenders from each country cannot use formations. They can only rely on simple tacit understanding and cooperation, and cannot use groups.
An offensive and defensive formation. This challenge is mainly about the challenger, not the defender."
Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly: "This rule highlights personal power too much."
"The rule is to highlight strong personal strength. But having said that, isn't this just more beneficial to you, Junior Brother Qin?"
Qin Wushuang sighed: "I just hope that I can bring honor to our sect and go all out. By the way, Senior Brother Wei, how should the scores of this challenge be calculated?"
"It's very simple. Each defender counts as ten points. If you keep accumulating, it will be your total score. For example, if you win the first round, you will get ten points. If you win the second round, you will get twenty points. In the third round, you will get thirty points.
Points continue to accumulate until the end is the individual's total score."
"And the scores of all the players in each country are added together, which is the total score of the entire country in the competition."
Wei Yi explained clearly, and Qin Wushuang naturally understood: "Brother Wei, during the competition, the division of labor between attacking and defending must be very clear. Attack and defense must be balanced. If you are hot, it won't work. You
When you attack, you get all the points, but when you defend, you lose ground one after another, and every advance and retreat is in vain."
"Yes! The balance of offense and defense will be very important in this kind of competition! Therefore, it will be a very ideal situation to have two Zhongling warriors. One is in charge of the defensive camp, and the other is in the offensive camp.
, both offensive and defensive, it can be said to be invincible.”
Qin Wushuang's eyebrows moved and he showed a knowing smile. Obviously, the final attack and defense of Xingluo Palace must be conducted by each of them.
Of course, there is not much difference between the main attack and the main defense. It does not mean that if the defense ability is strong, it must be defended. If a single target has a strong defense ability, it does not work in a many-to-one situation, and there must be an attack.
It only takes strength. Otherwise, if one of your own is knocked down, it will be considered as a failure to defend. No matter how good your own defense is, it will not work. You must ensure that your teammates are not beaten down to truly succeed in defending.
Thinking of this, Qin Wushuang inevitably still has some doubts: "Senior Brother Wei Yi, if there is damage to the defending team, what should we do with the vacancies?"
"Basically, this kind of arena match only determines the outcome, not life and death. Even if there are some injuries, it will not affect the overall situation. But if you are seriously injured and unable to play, you will have to bear the consequences. If there are only four people defending the arena, there are
If one person is unable to play, then there will only be three people. Then if the opponent challenges, as long as they challenge the third round, the fourth round will be considered a victory without a fight. Therefore, for the defender, the credit is invisible, but the task
But it’s very difficult and dangerous.”
Qin Wushuang sighed: "This rule is really perverted."
Both of them laughed. With the two of them on the Xingluo Palace side, they were quite confident whether they were attacking or defending.
"Junior Brother Qin, this is not the first time we have cooperated. I hope the result this time will be more brilliant and gorgeous than the last time!"
Last time, the two of them cooperated and killed the gray-robed man, Elder Chen Jun.
This time, they have to face the big stage of the Eastern Three Kingdoms Exchange Tournament. The performance of the two of them will directly determine the final results of the Great Luo Empire.
The two high-fived each other and swore an oath. Although they did not say any heroic words, it was all unspoken. Each could read the determination and courage to win in the other's eyes.
"Okay, Junior Brother Qin, it's getting late. Let's take a rest early. This competition is only the third stage. But it is the final battle. Don't think so much now, just go step by step. It will be a matter of course."
"Okay!" The two waved goodbye. Qin Wushuang returned to the room and digested the rules carefully. He knew that this third link would be crucial and determine the outcome.
That night, Qin Wushuang had a very good rest.
The next morning, according to the arrangement, all the forces of the Great Luo Empire gathered together to listen to the arrangements of the Xingluo Palace.
Since the rules require that the strongest sect in each country can only place ten places, and the other six preliminary places must be chosen by other forces, then we can only follow the rules.
This screening took two or three days, and finally six relatively outstanding players were selected. However, compared with the core disciples of Xingluo Palace, these leaders who are usually the best in their own sects inevitably pale in comparison.
.
There is no doubt that these six places must be chosen. To qualify for the semi-finals, you have to rely on the ten core disciples of Xingluo Palace to fight for them.
Regarding the quota for the semi-finals, Zhuo Buqun and other palace masters do not have high requirements.
Zhuo Buqun said: "Based on past experience, generally speaking, there will be no accidents if there are eight quotas for each country. Uneven quotas rarely occur. However, you cannot take it lightly. We will not demand nine quotas.
, but the eight quotas must be defended no matter what. Otherwise, later on, the distribution of offense and defense will be unbalanced, which will seriously affect the overall situation!"
All the contestants nodded one after another, but this was something they understood without having to explain it. The ten places in Xingluo Palace were naturally the top ten places from the last business trip to Bifu Mountain.
After twenty years of waiting and twenty years of reincarnation, the Three Kingdoms Exchange Tournament finally kicked off with great fanfare. Outside the Tianchi Empire’s Tianji Sect’s Mountain Gate Square, a grand opening ceremony was held as scheduled.
And contestants from all over the world are also on the list.
Everyone's faces are full of anticipation, waiting for this boring opening ceremony to end and get down to business immediately!
At the end of the ceremony, the three strongest men from Xingluo Palace, Tianji Sect and Longhumen stood together and announced the official start of the exchange competition.
The first step is to hand in the competition list. Each of them has three copies of the list. Keep one copy for yourself and give the other two copies to the two opponents.
After the handover of the list is completed, the list and the person will be seated one by one to eliminate problems such as counterfeiting and cheating.
When the Tianji Sect read the name "Qin Wushuang", the expressions of all the senior officials of the Tianji Sect changed.
Qin Wushuang? Didn’t this person die in Bifu Mountain? For this reason, Xingluo Palace has been in a long-running lawsuit with Tianji Sect. Why did he appear again at this time?
