Chapter 155 It’s broken, I’m going to be beaten up
In the subsequent trials, as expected, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's progress were smooth, and those who could cause them any trouble were lucky enough to avoid them.
There was a small incident during this period. Because of the sequelae of frozen meridians, Bai Shan was defeated by a three-star master in the last battle to enter the top 50.
Obviously, he could not accept such an outcome. As soon as the winner was announced, he spat out blood and fainted.
It seems that he can't bear such a blow.
In addition, Wu Hao, who also made a high-profile appearance, also impressed everyone. His powerful strength also attracted a lot of fear.
Of course, there was also good news. Xiao Yu's luck was a bit bad. He met a two-star great fighter. Logically, he should be able to beat Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu unexpectedly used a very desperate fighting style. He won the game at the cost of serious injuries and successfully entered the top 50.
Even though Xiao Yuan had the healing pills made by Yao Lao, Xiao Yu would not be able to do strenuous exercise within three days and his fighting ability was almost gone.
But Xiao Yu didn't care whether she could enter the inner courtyard. She didn't care at all. What she cared about was whether she could enter the inner courtyard with Xiao Yuan.
For this, she is willing to pay some price.
Besides, as long as she could enter the top fifty, she believed that Xiao Yuan would be able to bring her into the top five.
When Xiao Yuan and his group entered the square again, they were still shocked by the number of spectators.
The number of spectators gathered in the square today is almost several times that of the previous two days. These onlookers are not all students of the academy. Many of them came from Canaan City outside the academy. As a member of the community living in Canaan City, they also know that today is the busiest time of the year for the entire Canaan Academy. Therefore, they will naturally not miss such a grand event.
Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Wu Hao, and Hu Jia have clearly shown their astonishing strength to everyone in the previous two days of competition. Today, these five strongest students in the outer courtyard will engage in the most eye-catching collision of the strong!
Among them, Xiao Yuan has the highest odds. After all, after Bai Shan was defeated yesterday, some rumors spread that it was because of Xiao Yuan's previous palm that Bai Shan was unable to exert his full strength, and thus he was defeated by the three-star master.
Being able to do this with the power of one palm, and in addition, in the competitions in the past few days, although Xiao Yuan still displayed the strength of a four-star master, each battle would basically end in less than five rounds. With such terrifying combat power, no one regarded him as an ordinary four-star master.
Some smart people have even guessed that Xiao Yuan is actually deliberately hiding his strength.
This is indeed the case. Xiao Yuan is indeed hiding his strength, but not for the people in the academy, but to create an information gap.
From now on, the only ones who can know his true strength are either his own people or the dead.
After all, since the traces of the Soul Palace people have been discovered, it means that the Soul Palace has already cultivated its power in the Northwest Continent. It is extremely important to create a weaker strength as a surface information.
If you don't catch the critical moment, you can use it to make a desperate counterattack.
It is not wrong to be more cautious when dealing with the enemy.
Of course, this would also bring some troubles to Xiao Yuan. After all, when he became a Dou Wang, he still had to show the strength of a Dou Ling. It would be difficult for him to use methods like Dou Qi turning into wings.
Fortunately, he also has a female alias, which can be used to perform many different tricks.
Shortly after they entered the square, Hu Jia walked in slowly, but her eyes stayed in the direction of Xiao Yuan and the others for a moment. Many people thought she was looking at Xun'er, but with Xiao Yuan's keen perception, he could clearly tell that Hu Jia seemed to pay more attention to him.
"Isn't it true that Hu Jia is targeting me?"
Xiao Yuan was somewhat confused.
"Boom!"
As the sun rose high in the blue sky, the clear sound of bells finally rang out in the square. After hearing the bells, the noisy square became a little quieter, and countless eyes followed the sound of the bells and looked towards the extremely wide square.
In the center of the square, where all eyes were gathered, Vice President Hu Qian slowly stood up and looked around. His powerful voice, like thunder, circled in the air above the square:
"Yesterday, the final fifty students were selected in the inner courtyard selection competition. They are all qualified to enter the inner courtyard for training. However, there are also clear levels in the inner courtyard. If you want to get better training conditions in the inner courtyard, you must try your best to get the best results in this final competition. Every improvement will be of great help to you, so do your best to get better training conditions!"
Hu Qian glanced at the excited students and said with a smile: "In previous years, the trials were all round competitions of choice, but this year, after discussions at the academy meeting, the final round was slightly changed. game mode."
Hearing Hu Qian's words, all the students in the audience were startled, and immediately cast doubtful eyes on the audience.
"Now please invite all the first fifty students to enter the venue." Hu Qian laughed loudly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows. If it weren't for Instructor Ruolin's confirmation, he wouldn't be sure that this selection competition would really be like he remembered, from a round-based system to a big free-for-all.
However, this is indeed good news for him.
Because this means that Xiao Yu’s grades will not be bad, and he will be able to get more opportunities at that time!
Thinking this in his heart, Xiao Yuan smiled at Xiao Yu, then took her hand and jumped into the field.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er, who were standing by, also landed on the field like a pair of flying lovers.
"This year, we don't want round-by-round matches, but a big free-for-all elimination tournament full of passion and excitement. Whoever can last longer in this elimination tournament will get a higher ranking, and vice versa." Looking at the many contestants entering the venue one after another, Hu Qian smiled and said, "In this square, no matter what means you use, even if you join forces with others to form a team, as long as you can survive the melee, you will win."
As soon as Hu Qian finished speaking, there were some whispers in the square. Obviously, this different competition mode from previous years caught them off guard.
"After the game begins, whoever leaves the game loses. We have people who are specifically counting. Therefore, as long as you can hold out a little longer in the chaos, your ranking may improve a lot. So, if you hold out, you will win."
In response to this, Xiao Yuan and the other three smiled at each other. This kind of competition rules was simply perfect for them.
If they really started to fight, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, and Xun Er actually had the strength to clear the field. As for Xiao Yu, she only needed to cheer on from the sidelines.
As for Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning, their strength was relatively weak and they did not make it to the end. They can only wait for next year's selection.
When Xiao Yuan and the other three stood together, they were the most eye-catching in the venue.
Many people's eyes were focused on the four of them.
After all, in the elimination rounds over the past few days, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, and Xun'er had not put their heart into it. The others who could make it into the top 50 were at best at the peak fighting master level like Xiao Yu. Coupled with the overwhelming numbers, it might not be impossible for them to eliminate Xiao Yuan and the other two.
After silently reaching a consensus to drive out the stable small group of the four members of the Xiao family first, many people began to look at the four members of the Xiao family who occupied a corner.
"Do you all understand the rules of the game?"
When no one else entered the square, Hu Qian looked around the venue and asked loudly.
"Understood!" After hearing Hu Qian's question, a chorus of cheers suddenly sounded in the venue.
"Okay, now that I understand everything, let me announce." Hu Qian slowly raised his palm, and finally dropped it with a bang under the gaze of countless eyes: "The final elimination round of the inner court selection begins now!"
"boom!"
As Hu Qian's palm fell, there was a bang in the originally quiet venue, and dozens of fighting spirits of different colors suddenly burst out in a dazzling manner. As muffled sounds were heard, the figures in the field quickly dodged, and most people were retreating quickly to the edge of the square. They were all afraid that in such a field with enemies everywhere, they would be blasted out of the field by someone's sneak attack.
From the stands, looking at the venue where the battle broke out almost from the beginning, excited screams suddenly resounded through the sky, and many people were shouting at their favorite contestants with their throats broken. Cheering, this kind of huge battle is far more stimulating than a single round of competition.
"Haha, the vice president's idea is not bad. Although it is not absolutely fair, this kind of situation where you need to be on guard against hidden tricks everywhere can easily cultivate people's cautious psychology. Moreover, those who join forces will gradually understand the power of teamwork. This is a good move."
Looking at the chaotic field, an old man in the central stands smiled at Hu Qian beside him.
"I'm just tired of watching the previous rounds of fighting, so I want to try something different. Now it seems to be quite good. However, some students who are not good at socializing on weekdays may have a hard time in this situation where there are enemies on all sides and no one they can trust to help them back up."
Hu Qian said with a smile, then turned his gaze to the chaotic scene.
At this time, people were fighting each other in the competition field from time to time, but it was obvious that many people were afraid of the dirty tricks behind their backs, so even when fighting with others, they just retreated at the first touch, not daring to fight at all, and kept looking at them. Sweep around carefully, and anyone who breaks into the attack range will be made to retreat or attack like a frightened bird.
Xiao Yuan and his three companions occupied a corner of the square. Anyone who wanted to attack them was basically blasted out of the square by Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan and Xun'er.
As for Xiao Yu, she hid behind the three people with peace of mind. If it wasn't a bit inappropriate at the moment, she would probably just sit down and watch the show.
Three powerful fighting spirits, black, green and gold, burst out from Xiao Yuan and the other two, shaking out the unrealistic ideas of some weaker people. As for some irrational guys, they could not pose any threat to Xiao Yuan and the other two because the number of people they joined together was not enough.
Instead, two blazing energies and one extremely cold energy intertwined with each other, making it extremely difficult for people to adapt. As a result, many people were unable to mount an effective defense and flew backwards on the spot.
Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly at such a silly child.
If they had joined forces to deal with Hu Jia and Wu Hao, they would not have been defeated so quickly.
You know, Xiao Yan, Xun'er and I all possess strange fire, and the power of our combined attack is actually extremely terrifying.
Although it seemed that the fighting spirit he was exerting was ice-attributed, in fact, in order to perfectly interweave with Xiao Yan and Xun'er's fighting spirit, the surface of the ice-attributed fighting spirit had a very thin layer of Yin Fire.
Although the three strange fires were only mixed in the fighting spirit, the power they unleashed when combined together was undoubtedly extremely terrifying. Even for Bai Shan, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao, it would be difficult for one person alone to withstand such an attack.
After realizing that the three people were not easy to mess with, many people calmed down and stopped rushing forward. Instead, they began to win over familiar people, forming small groups and eliminating some unlucky people who were not popular on a daily basis.
Amidst the countless loud shouts in the stands, players were constantly being kicked out of the competition venue. At this time, the scorers who were already around would quickly register the players who had left the stadium. .
Soon, the pairing was completed, and the unlucky ones who were left alone were all driven out. Those who could stay were at least small teams of two people, and more were teams of four or more people like Xiao Yuan and his four companions.
There are five such teams, among which Wu Hao's team is the most powerful, followed by Hu Jia's team, and then there are two teams with great fighting masters, and a team of five people with all top fighting masters.
In fact, there were several great fighting masters at the beginning, but unfortunately, they chose to deal with Xiao Yuan and his four companions first, so they were directly knocked off the stage.
After all, with their strength that was less than five-star Grand Master, there was no way they could withstand the joint attack of Xiao Yuan and the other two.
In this selection competition, eyesight and judgment are obviously also part of the assessment.
If you choose the wrong opponent or make the wrong decision, you will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.
However, the development of things still exceeded Xiao Yuan's expectations.
I saw that the five teams all turned their eyes to the four of them at the same time.
It seems like they want to eliminate the four of them first!
