When whispers rang out from the surrounding stands, some of the contestants' faces became a little unnatural. Except for those who had just squeezed into "Strong Ranking" recently, most of the others had a little fear flashing on their faces, and their performance made everyone in the field even more confused.
Zi Yan was too lazy to pay attention to the looks from around her. She kept chewing the pills that Xiao Yan and Little Doctor Immortal had refined for her. Her leisurely look did not show any urgency as the competition was approaching. If it were placed two years later, Before, there were some opponents among the Inner Academy who could compete with him, but it should not be said that those students had left the academy. Even if they had not, they would not be a single enemy against Zi Yan who had still entered the realm of Dou King.
Today's Zi Yan has long since become a transcendent existence above Strong Ranking!
"Cough!" A faint cough filled with fighting spirit sounded in the ears of everyone in the audience. Suddenly, the whispers began to decrease, and after a moment, they completely dissipated. One after another, their eyes raised and looked at the black-robed old man in the center of the high platform. Their eyes were full of awe and respect. As Great Elder, whose strength and power among the Inner Academy is only lower than that of the mysterious dean, even ordinary elders still maintain respect for him. Not to mention these students.
"Now that the number of people is complete, the competition can begin." Su Qian said with a faint smile, "But before the competition, I still want to remind you that although Inner Academy has a liberal attitude, I still hope that you will try not to kill anyone during the competition. You We are all still students, and we are not in a place like Black Corner Region where people eat people. Although Inner Academy has a somewhat bloody place like the arena, the intention is just to train you, not to make you fight to the death, so I hope you can control your actions."
The rules are the same as before, drawing lots to determine the opponent. "
As he finished speaking, his sleeves and robes waved lightly, and immediately a piece of black cloth not far away from Xiao Yan and the others fell down, revealing the stone platform underneath. On the stone platform, there was a wide wooden tube with many bamboo sticks in it.
"There are twenty-five blue numbers and twenty-five red numbers in the tube, and the numbers are from one to twenty-five. For example, if you draw the blue number twelve, then your opponent is the holder of the red number twelve. "Su Qian briefly explained the rules of the lottery. This thing is not complicated, so students who have experienced this for the first time can understand it at once.
"Okay, let's start the lottery!"
One by one, the contestants walked to the stone platform in an orderly manner, then pulled out bamboo sticks, read out their numbers in front of everyone, and then retreated.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the crowd, it was Bai Gang Bai Cheng. Glancing at Xiao Yan, Bai Cheng's face trembled, he sneered, strode forward, walked to the stone platform, groped for a while, and finally took out a red-bottomed bamboo stick, and said in a dull voice, "Red-bottomed fifteen. "After he finished reading, he stepped aside and continued to stare at Xiao Yan with vicious eyes. He cursed viciously in his heart, "It's best to draw the same bamboo stick as Liu Qing!"
Amid the curse of Bai Cheng, Xiao Yan walked to the stone platform easily, casually pulled out a red lottery ticket, glanced at it, was startled at first, and then a hint of amusement appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Red bottom. Fifteen. "Xiao Yan chuckled, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Bai Cheng whose sneer on his face suddenly stiffened.
When Xiao Yan reported his number, Bai Cheng's face suddenly stiffened, and besides being stiff, he even looked a little pale.
Although he always felt resentful about his defeat at the hands of Xiao Yan, he also knew that his strength could not beat Xiao Yan. Therefore, after hearing Xiao Yan's voice at this moment, a very faint fear arose in his heart.
Tightening the bamboo stick in his hand, Bai Cheng looked at the playful smile hanging on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, his face twitched, and he lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes like a desperate and ferocious wolf. "Damn bastard, even if I risk my life this time, I will make you lose the chance to compete for Strong Ranking's top ten!"
Looking calmly at the bowed Bai Cheng, Xiao Yan played with the bamboo stick in his hand. He didn't have too much worry in his heart. In other words, he had never been taken into consideration by Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Yan, some people drew bamboo sticks one after another. Among them, Wu Hao's opponent was a one-star Dou Ling ranked forty-third in "Strong Ranking". At this level, he could only be regarded as the last of the strong gang.
After the last contestant drew lots in front of everyone, the order of the duel in the field was mostly decided.
What is quite interesting is one of Zi Yan's opponents. This guy is a dark horse in the recent Strong Ranking situation, and judging from his appearance, he seems to be the kind of person who only knows how to practice in seclusion. Therefore, he doesn't really recognize Zi Yan. Therefore, after seeing that his opponent turned out to be a little girl, he immediately grinned disdainfully amid the idiotic looks around him. Xiao Yan and others who saw this scene also couldn't help but laugh. If the game starts, maybe this guy will immediately burst into tears.
Su Qian glanced slowly across the audience, and after seeing that all the contestants had decided on the order, he nodded slightly, and a faint old voice echoed in the audience, "Since the draw has been completed, please return to your seats first, and the order of the competition will be randomly drawn."
After saying that, Su Qian casually pulled out a bamboo stick from a bamboo tube in front of him, glanced at it, and said lightly, "No. 7."
Hearing the number Su Qian read, two people in the field suddenly stiffened up.
"No. 7 with the blue bamboo sticks and the red bamboo sticks will stay, and the rest will leave the field. "Waving his hand, Su Qian ordered.
As the Su Qian command came down, everyone in the field immediately rushed out, and then two people were left in the field.
The remaining two people on the field also knew the rules. In the next moment, they quickly concentrated, their faces tensed, and a faint fighting spirit filled their bodies. They each took out their weapons and looked at their opponents with sharp eyes.
Looking at the fiery fighting spirit gradually spreading in the field, the much quieter stands, whispers once again sounded, and some eyes became much hotter in this moment. The long-awaited Strong Ranking Grand Competition is finally about to officially kick off.
Xiao Yan and Wu Hao both returned to the high platform. The former made eye contact with Lin Xiuyuan who was not far away, and nodded to each other with a smile.
"One of these two guys is ranked thirty-five and the other is ranked thirty-eight. They are not far apart in strength. This fight is a bit anxious. "Wu Hao glanced at the two people in the field and said with a smile.
Xiao Yan nodded casually, leaned against the railing, and stopped in the field with lazy eyes.
"I didn't expect that brother Xiao Yan's opponent would be Bai Cheng again. "Xun'er covered his mouth and chuckled.
"It's just trash fish. "Xiao Yan said with a faint smile, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
"But that guy seems to hold a grudge against you. If you meet him this time, you may really fight for your life. Although you are not afraid of him, you must be careful. If you are injured by him, it will be detrimental to your future competition. "Wu Hao frowned and reminded.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. Xun'er on the side just smiled in his heart.
Desperately? Desperately useful?!
While several people were talking to each other, the two people in the field below had suddenly collided with each other amidst the bursts of fiery noises in the stands. The strong fighting spirit came into contact with each other, and bursts of low explosions broke out. As the figures flashed by, the crisp sound of gold and iron with sparks kept flashing. From the beginning of the battle, the warm-up plug was omitted and it went directly into the real fight.
One of the two people in the field has a fire attribute fighting spirit, and the other has a wood attribute fighting spirit. Although the latter is slightly stronger, it seems that because the fighting spirit is restrained, it seems a little difficult to defend the opponent's offensive. However, the contestant with the fire attribute fighting spirit is quite smart, and has mastered the essence of going all out. As the offensive unfolds, the blazing wind continues, and the light red The fighting spirit was like clusters of substantial flames rising up, drawing arcs in mid-air and slashing at the opponent fiercely. However, during his ferocious attack, the student with wooden attribute fighting spirit did not panic or change his color at all. He took all the opponent's attacks with a calm expression. Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage, he was never seriously injured.
The battle in the field can barely be regarded as a high-end battle in the Inner Academy. Therefore, the spectators in the surrounding stands were all staring at the two figures in the field without blinking. They shouted excitedly and hoarsely with all their strength, and finally echoed in the square.
However, although the battle in the field was quite exciting for the students in the stands, for Xiao Yan and others, it only made them nod slightly. After all, their strength was different, and their natural vision was completely different. They were not standing in the same position when looking at anything.
"The student with the fire attribute fighting spirit is going to lose. "Xiao Yan glanced lazily at the battle in the field and suddenly said.
"Huh? "Hearing this, Wu Hao and Hu Jia were a little stunned. In today's field, the guy with the fire attribute fighting spirit almost has the absolute upper hand.
"Fire attribute fighting spirit has powerful attacks, but it is not durable. His opponent has obviously more combat experience than him and knows how to avoid and delay. Although wood attribute fighting spirit has weaker attack power than fire attribute fighting spirit, it is more durable and can heal injuries independently. If you sense it carefully, you will find that the attack of the fire attribute fighting spirit students has gradually slowed down, but his opponent is trying to regain the situation. Looking at this situation, I am afraid that the winner will be decided in less than ten minutes. "Xun'er on the side said softly with a smile. Her vision is no weaker than Xiao Yan. In a certain aspect, she can even see more accurately than Xiao Yan.
Hearing Xun'er's analysis, Wu Hao and Hu Jia also looked much more carefully. After a moment, they nodded in surprise. "Sure enough."
Xiao Yan glanced sideways at Xun'er, who was smiling next to him, "Where are Little Doctor Immortal, Little Qing Lin? They didn't come to such a lively event?"
"They..." Xun'er pursed his lips and smiled, "They are practicing, and now it is probably the critical time to break the mirror."
Broken mirror...
Hearing what Xun'er said, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and even he didn't notice that the two little girls were about to break through the Dou King realm.
"It seems that we need to prepare some broken mirror gifts for them both."
Just as Xiao Yan was thinking in his heart, new changes appeared on the battlefield below.
Xun'er's prediction was not bad. Just at the eighth minute, the anxious battle suddenly changed. The wooden attribute Dou Qi student who had always been passively defensive suddenly burst out with an extremely fierce attack. The light green Dou Qi in his hand shot out like a horse, and finally shuttled past the opponent as fast as lightning. The defense of the student hit him hard on the chest. Suddenly, the student with the fire attribute's fighting spirit turned pale, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his body fell hard out of the field. When he got up, he heard the roaring thunderous applause of the whole field, and his face was filled with sadness and unwillingness.
"In the first game, He Bu won!"
On the high platform, Su Qian announced the results of the competition calmly. For him, this kind of competition, which was not very intense, was just like a child playing house, with not much praise.
When the audience burst into applause, Su Qian leaned back on his chair and pulled out a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube again. He was slightly startled, then he smiled freely and smiled at the elders beside him, "It seems that we can watch an interesting game."
"Second game, number twenty-eight."
As Su Qian's voice fell, a figure suddenly flashed onto the stage. It was a man with an unruly and arrogant face. As the biggest dark horse in the spotlight recently after Xiao Yan, he went all the way from Strong Ranking to the 33rd place.
Not long after the man took the stage, a petite figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The little girl in white slowly climbed onto the stage under the amused eyes of Xiao Yan and others.
"Haha, little girl, don't worry, I will keep my hand!" Looking at the little girl in white, the man couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be able to see his promotion.
In response to the man's wild laughter, on the high platform, Xiao Yan, Lin Xiuyuan, Liu Qing and others wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"This poor guy"
The man's laughter directly caused some of the contestants on the high platform to become silent.
After he said his words, the man on the stage also noticed something was wrong with some of the looks around him, but he didn't know the exact reason. The smile on his face froze slightly, and his eyes scanned Zi Yan carefully, but he didn't know the exact reason. With his strength, how could he possibly see Zi Yan's bottom line? In his eyes, he could only detect the not-too-strong fighting spirit flowing in the latter's body. He looked soft and weak, and was simply a bit vulnerable.
Under the strange gazes from all around, Zi Yan finally came to the field. She glanced sideways at the man opposite her with her big black eyes. She crossed her fingers and pressed them slightly. Suddenly there was a crackling sound between the bones. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Great Elder Su Qian. She said in an old-fashioned way, "Hey, old man, can we start?"
