Rules in the third round was simple and crude, and everyone understood it instantly.
For the audience, this format means that there may be surprises and upsets in every game, greatly improving the viewing experience.
For players, this means that they must show their full strength, and any slack may lead to elimination.
"Now, the drawing ceremony has officially begun, and the intelligent system will continue to organize the battle groups."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the electronic screen began to quickly refresh the match list.
The intelligent system still allocates points based on the first round to avoid allowing strong players to meet in advance.
Soon, everyone's battle list came out.
Chu Han is No. 101, and his opponent is No. 181.
The opponents of the five geniuses were also quickly determined. Coincidentally, none of their first-round opponents were top-notch.
Yan Fei, Xiahou Yu and others are also quite calm about this. For them, the real challenge lies in the subsequent promotion competition.
"The draw is over and the lineup has been determined! Now, I announce that the third round of single-elimination knockout has officially begun!" the host announced loudly.
Because the inner arena is large enough, only 8 duels will be held in the third round each time, with a total of 25 rounds.
In this way, viewers can choose their favorite players to watch, and will not miss the wonderful performances of other players.
"First of all, please invite the players with numbers 1-8 and their respective opponents to appear!"
Soon, 16 players took the stage one by one, each standing in an area to ensure that the battle would not affect players in other groups.
Soon, the battle began.
In a 200-to-100 game, there are rarely evenly matched opponents.
The eight battles in the ring all ended very quickly.
Chu Han almost took the stage in the last round, and his opponent was defeated by him in one move.
Then came the 100 to 50 game, which was still a group of 8 matches, and the top 50 were quickly determined.
Next is the 50-32 game, and many people have byes.
However, the contestants who enter the 32nd place with a bye will accept the challenge of those who lose in the battle.
Make sure these 32 are the strongest 32.
Before the start of the top 32 competition, the 32 people who advanced will take a rest first.
In addition, the 50 eliminated players out of 100 will also have to compete in the group arena.
The 51st place candidate will be determined to compete for the spot of the Sky Academy.
The competition started quickly, and in the end, a student from Longxia Military Martial University fought to the end and got the last place to enter Sky Academy.
The time came in the afternoon, and the much-anticipated top 32 competition officially started.
The 16 battles take place on the stage one after another, and there are no more simultaneous battles.
In this round of competition, except for Chu Han and the five geniuses, everyone else fell into a fierce battle.
The players who can enter the top 32 have reached the level of peak 6th Rank or even the limit, and are only one step away from 7th Rank.
Everyone has their own trump card and areas of expertise.
It is not that simple to win the battle quickly.
Therefore, the top 32 competition has become extremely exciting.
Every scene is full of suspense, and the surrounding audience is also very enthusiastic.
It took a full hour for all the top 16 spots to be announced.
At this point, except for the top four Martial Arts University players who still have two or three remaining on the field, players from most other schools have been eliminated.
With almost no rest, the round of 16 games started quickly.
Chu Han's opponent is Modu Martial Arts University, the third most powerful being, and his cultivation level is infinitely close to 7th Rank.
Even though his opponent was Chu Han, he didn't flinch at all.
He launched an all-out attack on Chu Han, but failed to break through the defense. In the end, Chu Han punched him and sent him off the ring.
Then came the competition between the top five geniuses. They did not have the calmness they had in the top 32 competition, and it took them a while to defeat their opponents.
But that's all. The gap between 7th Rank and 6th Rank is just that big.
The other two battles were much more intense. Each was a close battle, and it took at least ten minutes to decide the winner.
All the final 8 contestants are announced.
Chu Han, Xiahou Yu, Yan Fei, Shangguan Ling, Ma Hong, Qian Yu, Sun He, Cheng Xiao.
The last two are dark horses who have fought hard from other schools. They are very strong and have won a lot of applause.
Then the host came on stage and took a short break.
Twenty minutes later, the battle of the top 8 began.
The opponent of Chu Han was none other than Cheng Xiao. When Cheng Xiao saw that it was Chu Han, he could only smile bitterly.
If he met other people, he might have a chance, but facing Chu Han, he had no hope at all.
In the end, he tried his best and failed to defeat Chu Han, but he gained some insights in the battle with Chu Han, and there were signs that he was about to break through 7th Rank, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
3 more duels.
Xiahou Yu versus Qian Yu, Shangguan Ling versus Sun He, Yan Fei versus Ma Hong.
After a fierce battle, the final result surprised everyone.
The top 4 places are Chu Han, Xiahou Yu, Yan Fei, and Shangguan Ling.
Jingwu University and Magic Martial University actually occupy two places each.
In previous years, the top four usually consisted of one person from each of the four major universities, but this year they were rounded out by these two universities.
Jingwu University and the people at Mowu University were naturally very excited, with faces full of pride.
Next, the top four battle begins.
Xiahou Yu versus Yan Fei, Chu Han versus Shangguan Ling.
Students from the two major universities fought against each other one by one, and there was no civil war in their own schools.
In this way, the game will be more exciting.
But at the same time, there will also be situations where one university occupies the top two spots at the same time.
But with Chu Han here, only Jingwu University has this opportunity.
Whether it can be realized or not depends on the battle between Xiahou Yu and Yan Fei.
Soon, the battle between the two began.
Both of them were strong in the early stages of 7th Rank, and they defeated two other geniuses respectively.
The battle between these two men had attracted much attention before the game started, and the moment has finally arrived.
"Let us invite the first contestant of this semi-finals, Xiahou Yu! Yan Fei!" The host's voice echoed throughout the arena, with unconcealable excitement in his tone.
The two figures stepped onto the ring almost at the same time, instantly attracting the attention of the audience.
Xiahou Yu on the left is wearing a black combat uniform, with thick metallic Elemental Power lingering all over his body, and a faint golden sheen on the surface of his skin.
This is his talent: Vajra Body.
This talent makes his physical strength far superior to that of warriors of the same level, and his defensive power is terrifying. Combined with the metal-based skills he majors in, he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and his strength is unfathomable.
Yan Fei on the right is wearing a white combat uniform, with a tall and tall figure, with subtle purple arcs moving around his body from time to time, and his eyes are as sharp as electricity.
His talent is called Indestructible Mad Thunder. Not only can he control the violent Thunder Attribute Elemental Power, he can also temper his body with the help of thunder and lightning, and has extremely strong recovery ability.
What's more worth mentioning is that Yan Fei is the direct disciple of Principal Modu Martial Arts University. He has received the true biography of Principal. Thunder Attribute's cultivation has already been superb, and he is considered the top among the younger generation.
"Xiahou Yu, although your Vajra Body is strong, it is in vain in the face of my violent thunder." Yan Fei's tone was full of confidence.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiahou Yu's mouth, and the metallic Elemental Power all over his body became more and more intense. "Stop talking nonsense, see the truth under your hands! My Vajra Body has never been afraid of anyone's attack!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them moved almost at the same time!
A great war broke out.
