Seeing the energetic Long Haochen, Li Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she couldn't even think about catching up with Lin Feng. When Haoyue Branch Hall learned that Lin Feng's spiritual power had surpassed him at the age of twelve, she knew that she and Lin Feng were not from the same world.
The future achievement of Lin Feng must be Ninth Rank, and maybe there will be an opportunity to challenge "Divine Throne".
As for Long Haochen, at this stage, he is indeed not as calm as Lin Feng, and his personality is also more introverted.
But the talent may be a little worse than Lin Feng.
But if compared with other people, Li Xin doesn't think anyone else is more talented than Long Haochen.
As the eldest among the three, she still hopes to see Lin Feng and Long Haochen fight side by side in the future.
"The rules of the competition are that you are not allowed to intentionally injure or maim your opponent. If one party dies, the other party will also lose and the city branch temple will be held responsible."
The young referee on the court continued.
"The first round of today's knockout rounds has begun. There are 156 Preliminary Competition players, including five Fifth Stage players. They had byes in the first three rounds. The lottery is now starting. Please get ready for all the players."
Just as the referee finished speaking.
Suddenly there was a burst of noise from the audience.
"Isn't this too unfair? Five of the ten places have already been reserved?"
"Yes, why have I practiced so hard all these years? Isn't it just that I want to form my own Demon Hunt Squad and obtain Merit Points in exchange for secret skills?"
"In this way, there are only ten places in total, and they will take up five. There are 151 of us, and we can only get five..."
"Originally, I might have had a chance, but now it's better. I'm out of luck."
Listening to the rustling sounds in the audience, the young referee standing on the stage didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Just when he wanted to ignore them and just start drawing lots.
A person who didn't mind the matter suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly, "I request that Fifth Stage's qualification for transportation be cancelled!"
Everyone in the audience looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
Because the lights were dim and the distance was relatively far, no one could see clearly who had shouted such a sentence.
Just when others were still hesitant to vent their displeasure.
I only heard the man continue, "Is Fifth Stage necessarily stronger than Fourth Stage? Maybe some of them forcibly increased their spiritual power to Fifth Stage in order to be qualified."
As soon as these words came out, those who were not above or below in terms of strength suddenly became excited.
"Yes, is Fourth Stage necessarily weaker than Fifth Stage?"
"We request that Fifth Stage's submission quota be cancelled."
"Everyone, be quiet." The man hidden in the darkness suddenly shouted loudly.
"Dear Knight Commander, I have no objection to Fifth Stage's qualification for a three-round bye. However, this year's Fifth Stage players have already taken up half of the places. There are only five places left. Can we consider increasing the total number of Demon Hunt Squads?"
"If so, we agree."
At the same time, on the rostrum.
Several old men nearby also commented.
"Indeed, there are too many Fifth Stage players this time, and four of them are new to Fifth Stage. Otherwise, their bye qualifications should be cancelled."
"No, if there is an extremely talented person among Fourth Stage, wouldn't it bury the talent if he meets Fifth Stage?"
"Even if I just stepped into Fifth Stage, the changes in Liquid Spiritual Power are irreparable to Fourth Stage."
"Then increase the quota of Demon Hunt Squad?"
"That's even worse. Although Temple Alliance has collected the secret skills of Six Great Temples and Epic Weapon, these things are limited after all. Cultivating ten Demon Hunt Squad every five years is already the limit."
After the discussion failed, the four old men focused on Saint Knight Head Han Qian.
Han Qian couldn't help but shake his head as these elders discussed for a long time but still couldn't come up with any results.
Han Qian stood up and waved his arm, and the originally dark place suddenly became brighter. Without the cover of darkness, the scene that just looked like a vegetable market suddenly became quiet.
His eyes swept over everyone. Although he was old, his eyes were still sharp.
His eyes lingered on the few people who had made a more violent fuss before.
When the latter saw this, he was very sensible and stopped talking and sat aside obediently.
One of them is very familiar to Lin Feng and Long Haochen. This person is Gui Wu.
In fact, Gui Wu only said this after some thought. On the first day he arrived at the Temple Alliance, he had already checked out the contestants.
With his strength, he was ranked eleventh and missed the top ten.
This is why he strongly opposes it.
Han Qian said in a low and serious voice, "If you don't even have the strength to defeat the same level, why do you think you can challenge Fifth Stage?"
"As for whether they are Fifth Stage who are stacked with pills, after you enter the top twenty, you will naturally be qualified to challenge them."
"I don't want to say any more. Not letting Fifth Stage participate in the first three rounds of the competition is the best protection for people with real strength."
"The game continues."
Hearing Han Qian say this, Gui Wu's gums almost broke.
This undoubtedly tells him that there is no chance of increasing the quota for Demon Hunt Squad, and it also directly cuts off any hope of participating in Final Competition.
If the difference is too many, you will not pass if you don't pass, but the problem is that you are probably ranked eleventh.
Just when he looked in the direction of Lin Feng, he seemed to remember something.
He turned to look at his father Gui Ying beside him and said, "Dad, I remember when I went to Knight Sacred Mountain, he seemed to be from Assassin Temple, right?"
The person Gui Wu is talking about is naturally Lin Feng.
Gui Ying frowned slightly, he really didn't pay attention to anything at that time.
But now that I think about it, it is indeed strange that Ying Suifeng is Vice Temple Master of Assassin Temple, and how could Xia Ying Hall Master appear in Knight Sacred Mountain with a knight of Knight Temple.
At this time, Gui Wu seemed to remember something, and said with some excitement, "Dad, I remember that guy. When I called the assassin, I seemed to call him teacher, right?"
"It seems like that." Gui Ying also responded.
"He studied under Assassin Temple, why did he join Preliminary Competition in Knight Temple?"
"He is not a knight!" Gui Wu said excitedly.
Gui Ying suddenly realized. "That doesn't mean that as long as this matter is announced and Lin Feng loses the qualification, then your ranking will be very likely to enter the top ten."
"Then what are you waiting for? Report him directly now."
"There's no rush now. We'll wait until I reach the eleventh place." Gui Wu was still a little hesitant. The scene where he was beaten by Lin Feng still makes me a little scared when I recall it.
But when he thought of Lin Feng's weird speed at that time, he became even more sure that Lin Feng was an assassin and not a knight.
How could any knight be so fast?
