Chapter 157 The Knockout Round Begins

"Tomorrow's grouping will be carried out in this order. The winner will advance, and the loser will be eliminated directly. The rules of the knockout round are still the same as before. The winner of each participating team can stay on the stage, and the loser will be eliminated. Starting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning Play your first game!”

Seeing that the drawing of lots was completed, the vice principal of Chuanwu said directly and neatly.

After the vice-principal stepped down, the top commander of the Nishikawa military came on stage and talked about some other things. It was nothing more than the unity of all people to resist the demon clan and recreate the prosperous age of the human race.

Many students of Sichuan Wu felt drowsy after hearing this. In order to squeeze out their own potential and cultivate strong people as much as possible, human beings now believe in the law of the jungle. People compete with people, and cities compete with cities. This situation has created strong human beings. Geniuses emerge in endlessly, and everyone is doing their best to squeeze themselves and improve their strength, creating countless strong men in a short period of time.

But it is also because of this that in the overall situation human beings can still stick together in order to survive, but it is simply impossible to unite as one.

The drawing ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and then the people on the podium announced that everyone was disbanded, and the first game of the knockout round will officially begin at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

"The knockout rounds are really cruel. When two teams compete, the first player from the team that wins first can stay in the field. Then when the second player comes on the field, the team that loses first will directly face a two-on-one battle. In this situation, if he continues to lose, it will be three against one, and the worst result may even be five against one!"

"This is completely simulating the situation of encountering monsters. When encountering monsters, we usually use less to fight more!"

Fang Wenjing said after disbanding.

The current game is not a fair one-on-one duel at all, but the team that wins first can continuously accumulate advantages. This design can squeeze out every bit of potential of the disadvantaged team.

"Tomorrow is our fifth game, so we can observe the strength of other teams!" Li Mu said.

When he participated in the lottery today, Li Mu discovered that he could become the top genius in each city. As expected, there is no weak one. Judging from the strength of the captains who participated in the lottery, the weakest among them was close to the first-level heaven-level strength, and the strongest even had the strength of the second-level heaven-level captain. The strength of the third grade.

Basically, everyone cannot underestimate it.

"Xiangwu's captain is a first-class heaven-level player. The overall strength of their team is not strong. I will be the first to go on stage tomorrow and deal with them as soon as possible!"

Li Mu said.

"Senior Brother Li, it's easy for you to expose your strength if you go up in the first game. Why don't you let me go first? I should be able to defeat two or three people. As long as I win the first game and accumulate advantages, I won't lose!"

Luo Fusheng said with confidence that this is a rare opportunity to show his face in front of the director of the Martial Arts Bureau. It will be very helpful for development in the provincial capital. If Li Mu comes first, they may not have a chance to play. Luo Fusheng does not want to show his face again. There is no chance.

"Are you confident that you can beat the captain of Xiangwu? Although Xiangwu was ranked seventh last year, we can't be too optimistic. I think we still have to go all out from the beginning!" Li Luohan said.

"Yes, I also think it's best to go all out as soon as you get on the field!" Fang Wenjing also nodded in agreement.

Chen Muqing seems to be a bit unsociable and rarely expresses opinions.

Xiangwu is located to the west of the Xiang River, and two-thirds of their entire city is surrounded by the Xiang River. The military has deployed a large number of heavy mines in the Xiang River, forming a natural barrier. Coupled with the protection of the city wall, Xiangcheng has rarely seen anything in recent years. Attacked by a large number of monsters.

Without strong external pressure to survive, there will naturally be some slack internally. Xiangwu has almost never achieved good results in recent years, and its performance is not as good as that of Chengdu, so it is not taken seriously at all.

"I will be the first to play tomorrow, don't waste time!" Li Mu finally decided directly. He is the captain. Once the game starts, not even Li Changhe can change his decision.

"Boys, you're lucky that you didn't meet us in the knockout round!" Four people from Jin Wu happened to pass by and looked at Li Mu and the others with kind expressions.

"You should be the lucky ones. I hope you can survive tomorrow's knockout round!" Li Mu glanced at the four members of Jinwu and said calmly.

Jin Wu's Fierce Tiger was destroyed by Li Mu, and they were already missing one person, but according to the competition rules, they could add one more person before the competition officially started. Presumably the last person from Jin Wu was on his way.

"We will definitely pass the knockout rounds. Don't lose tomorrow. If you can't even beat Xiangwu, it will be a big shame!" Jin Wucheng said with a sneer. He is the captain of Jinwu.

"Walk!"

Jin Wucheng glanced at Li Mu coldly, then waved his hand and led the other three Jinwu people directly towards the dormitory.

"Jin Wu and these guys are so arrogant. They were so proud of themselves just because they won third place last year!" Li Luohan said unhappily.

"Let's wait until the finals!"

Early the next morning, the arena for Sichuan Wu's playground competition had been set up. Before seven o'clock, many Sichuan Wu students showed up and grabbed good positions around the ring. Not only Sichuan Wu students came, but even the two Nishikawa students came. A student from the monastic academy also came, and the two beauties from the monastic academy were of a much higher standard than Kawatake.

At first glance, she can be regarded as a beauty like Lin.

"If I had gone to school in Sichuan Wu, I should have had a girlfriend long ago!" Li Luohan said with emotion.

"Too many beauties is not necessarily a good thing. It affects martial arts and Taoism!" Luo Fusheng shook his head and said. Although he is the number one genius at Rongcheng Monastery Academy, he is also single.

Because falling in love is such a waste of time and energy.

“Everyone should be very clear about the current situation, I don’t want to say that the war between races is about death or life, and there is no end point in the arena. The victory in the arena is also about life and death. Don’t think about showing mercy. You want to be merciful. Your opponent may not be merciful, your only purpose in entering the ring is to win the game!"

The referee in the ring is an old man with gray hair and a scar on his face. This old man's words are not very nice, but his strength is not weak and he is a master.

"It seems that Sichuan and Wu are also looking for ways to ensure the safety of both sides of the competition. They have hired a grandmaster to be the referee. If something happens, the referee will take action!" Luo Fusheng said.

"Don't place your hopes on the referee. Sometimes life and death are just a matter of seconds. No one in the ring is weak, even a grandmaster may not have time to save him!" Li Mu said.

After all, those who can participate in the Ten Fort League are the top talents from each small fortress. These fortresses don't want to lose, but they don't want their people to die either, so there is a situation where the grandmaster acts as the referee.

"The first game is between XJTU League and Suzhou University. Please send people from both sides to play!"

"Wang Han of XJTU Alliance!"

"Su Da, Leng Xin!"

"As expected, they all want to win the first battle and accumulate advantages. The ones sent to fight in the first battle are all captains of their respective teams!" Li Mu said.

"Senior brother, how strong are the two of them?" Fang Wenjing asked.

"One is close to the second-grade heaven-level, and the other is already the second-grade heaven-level!" Li Mu said.

"They took action!"

On the ring, the two men saluted each other and then started fighting almost instantly. Wang Han from the Western Suburbs Alliance used a nine-ring sword, while Leng Xin from Su University used a metal spear.

"Eight consecutive cuts!"

"One shot to hit three stars!"

The gun in Leng Xin's hand flickered. The gun was like a cold metal snake. Three gun heads appeared in an instant and stabbed Wang Han directly.

Wang Han seemed not to have seen the other two spear heads, and strode out directly. The nine-ring sword in his hand rushed to the middle with a powerful sword light, and slashed it down.

"when!"

A spark appeared instantly, and Leng Xin's spear force suddenly condensed. At this moment, the sword in Wang Han's hand was like an endless river, slashing fiercely at Leng Xin one after another.

"I heard that Wang Han, the captain of the Western Suburbs Alliance, has a sword technique that is derived from at least Lin's wood-burning sword technique. His sword skills are wide open and close, and he won't let anyone get the upper hand. Once he gets the upper hand, it will be difficult to beat him!"

A Kawatake student whispered.

"The Burning Wood Sword Technique is a third-grade Xuan-level sword technique, but Leng Xin's spear technique is said to be the Dragon-Subduing Spear, a fourth-grade Xuan-grade spear technique. They are both at the same level, but I didn't expect that Leng Xin would be at a disadvantage as soon as he started fighting!"

Another Kawatake student said.

"The realm is the realm, and the strength is the strength. No matter what the realm and strength are, it is the person who does it after all, and the realm cannot represent everything!"

The two people in the ring started talking among the Sichuan Wu students as soon as they made a move, but a new change appeared in the ring.

Wang Han's sword strikes were as fast as the others, and each strike was more powerful than the last. However, he slashed eight times in a row, and each strike was blocked by Leng Xin.

With the eighth knife, Wang Han cut into the air. Leng Xin flashed and instantly appeared on Wang Han's side. He stabbed Wang Han in the waist. The referee's expression changed slightly and he was ready to intervene.

But at this moment, Wang Han's eyes turned scarlet, and he suddenly stretched out his left hand to grab Leng Xin's gun.

"Pfft!"

"die!"

Leng Xin's spear instantly pierced Wang Han's palm, but at the same time, the knife in Wang Han's hand also slashed towards Leng Xin's chest and abdomen. The blade's light reached his body. With Wang Han's strength, even if this knife could not Leng Xin's body was chopped into two pieces. At least Leng Xin's skin and flesh could be torn open, and his internal organs and intestines might be spilled all over the place.

"ah!"

At the critical moment, Leng Xin raised his hand to block, and forced himself to retreat. A burst of blood and broken arms flew up, and Leng Xin had one of his arms cut off by Wang Han.

Wang Han's palm was pierced by an iron spear, and he retreated instead of advancing. He grabbed the tip of the spear with one hand, and raised the nine-ring knife back with the other hand. The light of the knife slashed directly towards Leng Xin's abdomen.

All of this happened between lightning and flint. Seeing that Leng Xin was about to be gutted, a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them. One hand blocked Wang Han's knife, and the other hand directly knocked Leng Xin down. Arena.

"In the first Western Suburbs League match, Wang Han won!"

The little old man shook his head slightly, but immediately announced the winner. There was silence outside the ring, and there was no cheering sound. The battle only lasted more than ten seconds from start to finish.

In a matter of ten seconds, the two people on the ring suffered one minor injury and the other a serious injury.
