After a moment, the audience seats were filled with people. Then, the disciples of each courtyard sat down, and the heads and disciples of each courtyard were divided into four directions and sat in the first row.

The thirteen referees are separated, the referee is directly opposite, and the others are equally apart, so that they can make a judgment at any time.

According to convention, the referee will explain the rules of the game.

The rules of the competition are very simple. Apart from your own weapons, no other weapons or hidden weapons are allowed, nor are they allowed to use any pills or any items that replenish true energy. Violators will be punished at the least, and at the worst, they will lose the qualification to participate and be expelled.

In addition, more than 700 contestants were divided into twelve groups to conduct the knockout round, that is, the points competition. The competition was ten rounds, and only twelve people in each group could advance. After the promotion was successful, any two groups were combined into one group to continue the second stage of the knockout round, and each group also had twelve people to advance. After the promotion was successful, the players on the list of this innate ranking monument competition began the third stage of the ranking match.

It sounds simple, but the younger generation participating in the competition is not very easy. There are ten rounds of knockout rounds in the first stage and ten rounds of knockout rounds in the second stage. The total number is twenty rounds. Twenty rounds of battle is definitely an extremely arduous journey. If the psychological quality is not high, it will inevitably be suppressed by the heavy competition and will lose innately.

Therefore, the ranking stele competition has to test both personal strength and psychological quality. Of course, there is also a component of wisdom. After all, in addition to competing for the top ten popular candidates, who can win twenty rounds in a row? For most people, when to fight and when to give up is a question worth considering. You cannot act recklessly.

"Please look at the jade tags you got from the card-winning lock. They have your group number on it." The referee Bao Qing circulated his true energy and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, many younger generations saw numbers from their hands.

"Three groups." Lin Yuan looked at the jade sign and spoke.

“I’m a group five”

“I’m in Group Six.”

"Ten groups."

Everyone reported their group one after another.

When everyone heard the number, they separated and went to the referees of their respective groups to fill in their personal information and get their personal participation numbers. The next step is the group knockout match.

"He is also in this group." After receiving his personal number, Hu Xiaolong noticed Lin Yuan nearby, and was surprised and nervous. The surprise was that he had the opportunity to defeat Lin Yuan as soon as he came up. The nervous thing was that he was not sure, and the two contradictory emotions made him hold it tightly.

After all, I lost the last competition, and, in my heart, the shadow was a village that made Hu Xiaolong very nervous.

For half a year, Hu Xiaolong has been in the process of cultivation and his own strength has been further enhanced. Although he is full of confidence in himself, his opponent is Lin Yuan, so he doesn't believe that Lin Yuan's strength has not increased at all.

After a while, the group knockout round began!

On the third group, the first one to go on stage were two contestants with the initial stage of spiritual gathering. One was the sword technique and the other was the boxing technique. The grades of the knife technique and boxing technique were not low. The aftermath hit the white light curtain with thick fists, making a violent roar, and sparks flew everywhere.

After more than a hundred rounds, the contestants who used boxing skills were slightly better. While avoiding the sword light, they smashed the opponent's body-protecting energy with one punch and won the game.

"The second game, Hu Xiaolong fights against Mu Qiu in the West Courtyard!"

In the first row of the audience, three groups of referees shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Hu Xiaolong sneered and flew towards the competition platform. The silver-white light curtain with powerful defense was like a water curtain, with ripple spreading, not blocking him from the outside.

"Please give me advice!" Mu Qiuyu's appearance was ordinary, with her hands clasped her fists and a polite tone.

Hu Xiaolong said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, eat my claw first!"

While speaking, Hu Xiaolong quickly circulated his true energy, and his right hand clawed in the air. The silver-white true energy soared into the sky and turned into an extremely huge claw shadow. As soon as this true energy claw appeared, it gave people a sense of threat, as if it was the claw of a demon.

"Lan Ying Claw!"

"The ultimate trick of the box has become his own ordinary trick. It seems that Hu Xiaolong's strength has improved a lot." Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. Hu Xiaolong used this trick when he was fighting with him, but that time was his strongest trick. Now he used it as soon as he came on stage. It is obviously not because he valued the other party. He probably had a more powerful trick.

Mu Qiu was also unwilling to be outdone. Facing Hu Xiaolong's move, although his face was solemn, he still tried hard to resist it. However, Hu Xiaolong had no idea to let him breathe a sigh of relief. He teared each claw after another, and his moves were inseparable from the weakness of protecting his body's true energy.

Bang!

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. Under Hu Xiaolong's strong suppression, Mu Qiu only lasted for a while and then broke.

The referees from the third group nodded secretly. Hu Xiaolong is worthy of being Sun Tianyou, a disciple of the North Academy. He is a younger generation of masters. He has great hope to be on the list again. After clearing his throat, he spoke out about his opponent in the third game.

Lin Yuan's number is relatively low, and the first round of the game was arranged in order of numbers, so it will take some time to make his turn. While there was no fierce competition in the three groups, he raised his head and looked at the other competition tables.

"Hey, it's the newly promoted Zhao Tian!" Some disciples of Xia Min might know each other and exclaimed.

On the seventh group of martial arts competition stage, Zhao Tian stood opposite a contestant with a mid-stage spiritual cultivation.

In terms of cultivation alone, Zhao Tian is now at the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and is not as good as his opponent. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the contestant was not as good as Zhao Tian. He was first knocked away by a knife, and then split his body-protecting true energy, and he was completely lost.

"Awesome, he is currently the first contestant to defeat his opponent over the level." The referee of the seventh group was filled with admiration.

After looking at Zhao Tian, ​​Lin Yuan was also surprised by Zhao Tian's challenge of surpassing the level. However, Lin Yuan instantly changed his gaze. He just observed that Zhao Tian was at most at the peak of the middle stage of the spirit gathering. If he met the late stage of the spirit gathering, he would definitely lose.

Next, Lin Yuan watched several more games. Most of the competitions were in the early or mid-stage spiritual gathering level. There were only a dozen people in the late stage of spiritual gathering. As for the peak of spiritual gathering, there was no more than one palm.

"Ouyang Yu, a female disciple from the West Court, has come on stage. She is ranked seventh in the last ranking monument."

"Her opponents are not weak either, and they ranked 24th in the last session."

"No! I lost with one punch."

Near the four-group competition platform, many younger generations were dumbfounded. The ruthless man ranked 24th in the last session was not Ouyang Yu's punch. It seemed that Ouyang Yu did not use all his strength at all. As for the amount of strength he used, only she knew.

"We can't guess the top five candidates, and the top ten are not enough to see."

Finally, everyone came to a conclusion that the contestants who had the strength to compete for the top five had already surpassed the others at too many levels and were not on the same level. If they encountered it, they would be killed instantly.

Lin Yuan also noticed this scene. Although the other party was very strong, he was not his opponent. Moreover, based on Lin Yuan's current sense, only Wu Xiao from the East Courtyard made Lin Yuan difficult to peck on the woods, and the other disciples did not see Lin Yuan's eyes at all.
