Lin Qi heard a familiar voice in his ears.
He turned around and saw that on his left was Jiang Tao, his handsome bronze-skinned face.
In addition to him, there were Guan Shan, Guo Heng, Wang Qiu Feng, Chen Zichuan and several others next to him.
"Qi Ge!" everyone greeted.
"Qi Ge, you are finally here!"
"Qi Ge, let me introduce to you. We are now in the virtual auditorium of Freshman Tournament. From this position, we can clearly see the battle on Arena." Jiang Tao said with a smile.
"The area we are in now is Azure Sky Sixth Academy. Each college has an area!" Zhou Xiyin on the right also introduced with a smile.
Lin Qi nodded and looked around, seeing students from the Azure Sky Sixth Academy on both sides.
"Qi Ge!!"
After seeing him, they all greeted him warmly.
He looked towards other colleges. Since the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly, so he could only judge from their body shape.
During the chat, the time quickly came to nine o'clock for the start of the game.
"Drip!!"
I saw yellow light and shadow particles gathering in the sky above Arena, and Vice Principal Xu Wenji's figure was projected out, magnified ten times, so that everyone could clearly see him.
"Dear classmates!"
Xu Wenji spoke slowly, with a strong voice, and the sound was like a loud bell, reaching every corner.
"Welcome to the site of New Student Tournament Individual Competition."
"If Disaster Beast Hunting Competition is a formal battle with Calamity Beast, then Individual Competition is a battle of geniuses."
"It is the art of martial arts and the pinnacle of competition."
"In Individual Competition, there are no limits, only winning."
"Blood Qi value, Martial Arts, the complete physical fitness scan completely matches your real body."
"Strong is strong, weak is weak!"
"Don't worry about hurting your opponent, fully display all your strength to kill your opponent and win."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was excited.
Because in the past, almost everyone adjusted to the same Blood Qi value in the Red Realm.
Now there are no restrictions, it all depends on a person's overall strength.
And Lin Qi thought secretly, the advantage of being in Virtual World is that there is no need to hold back, fearing the opponent's casualties, and he can just display his strength without any hindrance.
It was very good for him. In reality, he was afraid that he would accidentally kill Calamity Beast because he was used to it and wiped out his opponent's neck.
"In the first round, 8,991 players fought at the same time, and only 900 players were able to advance to the second round, and those who advanced could receive a Xia Guo Bi reward of 500,000 yuan!"
Xu Wenji introduced the rewards with a smile, and many people's eyes lit up after hearing this.
According to the rules of the first round, not all experts can advance. As long as you survive to the end, you might be able to win 500,000 yuan for free Xia Guo Bi.
For many students from ordinary families, this is a lot of money.
"Now we announce the official start of New Student Tournament Individual Competition!"
"All contestants are now invited to enter!!"
"Let's compete to your heart's content!!"
Xu Wenji announced loudly!
The next second, countless people in the audience turned into crimson light pillars and rushed out and disappeared.
On the super large Arena, which is more than 20,000 square meters, nearly 9,000 light beams descended out of thin air.
8991 players appeared on Arena, all shrouded in light beams. They began to choose combat uniforms and weapons, and observed their opponents.
And everything in the auditorium has become empty.
Lin Qi looked around and could only vaguely see a few figures, all of them Institute Head from various colleges!
Lin Qi can feel several eyes falling on him. They are all opponents in the next few rounds.
[The 30-second countdown begins!]
[3, 2, 1...]
[The fighting officially begins!!]
In the sky above Arena, Intelligent Voice announced the start of the game without emotion.
"Kill!!"
As soon as the game started, the fighting started instantly, and the sound of fighting echoed throughout Arena.
It was an extremely shocking scene, with thousands of geniuses ranked at the top of the province fighting each other.
The weapons collided, and murderous intent enveloped every corner. Even a master might die on the spot if he was not careful.
"Puff~puff~"
Jiang Tao, wearing a silver combat uniform, waved the sharp Battle Saber, and his legs were rooted on Earth like old trees.
Any attack launched by his opponent was blocked by the defensive circle he danced, and he used his strength to continuously fight back.
In a matter of seconds, several people were killed by him.
Among them, he saw the classmates Six Institutes. Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not take action. Instead, they went to kill students from other colleges.
The gap between students who are both Azure Sky University is also huge.
Jiang Tao can clearly feel that the opponents are too weak, and many people cannot block his sword at all.
Lin Qi in the audience looked at the large screen projected in the sky.
[Number of survivors: 8601/8991]
Less than a minute after the battle started, more than 300 people had been eliminated.
Light beams kept coming back to the auditorium, and they were all students who had been eliminated.
Including them Six Institutes, many people were eliminated and came back.
"I saw a flash of light at the beginning, and I died. It was so inexperienced."
"Me too, I just swung my knife and died. We are all students of the Azure Sky Martial Academy, why is there such a big gap?"
[Number of survivors: 8002/8991]
[Number of survivors: 7500/8991]
[Number of survivors: 3008/8991]
In just ten minutes, only three thousand people were left, and all those who survived were masters.
Lin Qi also saw many acquaintances of the Azure Sky Sixth Academy, who were struggling to kill the opponents around them, and he had the feeling that it was chaos.
Everyone is an opponent. If you want to advance, you can only fight. Of course, it is not ruled out that the master will be killed unfortunately.
"Puff~puff~"
It wasn't until half an hour later that the first round officially ended.
[The first round of competition is officially over!]
After advancing to 900 people, they returned to the audience.
The large projected screen began to update.
[Number of people promoted: 99 (Six Institutes)]
The screen is divided into nine parts, and you can see the number of promotions in each college. Among them, Azure Sky Sixth Academy is quite satisfactory.
"Qi Ge, Azure Sky First Academy, more than two hundred people advanced to the second round."
"Azure Sky Ninth Academy also has 135 people promoted." Jiang Tao next to him exclaimed.
Lin Qi also looked solemn after seeing it. The difference in strength can be seen from the number of people promoted by Individual Competition.
The weakest Cangqiong Seventh Academy only had 40 people advance, which was five times less than First Institute.
Jiang Tao are also worried. If Huo Wanyang and Ao Feng had not withdrawn early yesterday but persisted until the end, they Six Institutes would not have been able to beat them.
"Let us congratulate the students who successfully advanced to the second round."
"Players who have been eliminated should not be discouraged. There are still many games in the future and we need to work harder."
Xu Wenji projected and concluded, and after a moment he said:
"Next, let's start the second round of Individual Competition directly. 900 people will enter the second round of 90."
"The 900 people will be divided into 9 groups, with 100 people in each group fighting each other until only 10 people are left to advance."
"Students who can advance to the third round at the same time will each receive a reward of 1 million yuan Xia Guo Bi."
"Now let's randomly draw the first round of Institute Head!"
As soon as Xu Wenji finished speaking, a picture of Panel was projected in front of him so that everyone in the audience could see clearly, with a hundred names appearing on it.
And Lin Qi happened to see the name Jiang Tao.
