Yunhai Youth Tournament will adopt a cruel and exciting single-elimination elimination system starting from the top 64 in the main draw. One loss means the journey is over.
Regarding the competition system, the organizers have made some designs to ensure fairness and enjoyment.
Among the seeded players who have qualified for the main draw, the top eight in the comprehensive evaluation will be determined as the "top seeds".
In order to prevent the top players from meeting prematurely, the eight players will be evenly divided into eight independent divisions, each guarding one area, to ensure that they will not meet in advance before the quarterfinals.
The remaining ordinary seed players and the more than 40 players who advanced through the audition will determine their respective divisions and specific opponents through a completely random draw, forming a one-on-one battle pattern.
In order to maintain suspense to the greatest extent, each specific matchup in the first round of the main match (64 to 32) will be announced on the big screen in the center of the venue thirty seconds before the start of the game.
The entire event follows the highest standards of fair competition until the competition is level-by-level to create the only champion.
Soon, the light and shadow flowed on the huge electronic screen, and the first set of battle lists appeared:
[No. 1 (Zhong Xu) vs. No. 36 (Fang Ge)]
"Wow--!"
The audience suddenly burst into exclamations and warm applause.
You know, in the past two years or so, among the Martial Arts Department students of Yunhai City, the name "Zhong Xu" has been like an insurmountable mountain, never letting the top spot fall by the wayside.
He almost dominated the competition among his peers with a crushing attitude. He broke through to Mortal Shedding level Martial Artist more than five months ago, and is the well-deserved first Martial Arts Department student of Yunhai City.
At the same time, he is also the undisputed No. 1 seed in this tournament and is recognized as the strongest contender for the championship!
For him to start the opening match will undoubtedly ignite the enthusiasm of the audience and set the tone for the competition.
"It's a pity that the opponent is a little weaker——" In the contestant viewing area, Chen Mochuan calmly observed the two people walking towards the ring, thinking to himself, "I'm afraid I can't see much of Zhong Xu's strength."
After entering the main match, all players will have unique battle numbers.
Among them, 22 seeded players retained their seed rankings as their battle numbers, while the 42 players who advanced through the auditions were re-ranked based on their overall performance scores in the auditions and received serial numbers from 23 to 64.
Therefore, the level of the battle number can often reflect the rough strength level of a player. Fang Ge, who is No. 36, is obviously not among the top players in the competition.
The progress of the battle completely confirmed Chen Mochuan's judgment.
On the ring, facing Fang Ge who was waiting for him, Zhong Xu just took a step forward seemingly casually, put his right hands together, and pushed forward lightly.
Fang Ge didn't even have time to react effectively. He only felt an irresistible force reaching his body, and his whole body seemed to be lifted up by an invisible giant hand. His body fell out of the ring uncontrollably, and he was defeated neatly.
Zhong Xu perfectly demonstrated the unfathomable strength and calm demeanor of the top seed in this way that was almost "instant kill" but fully reserved, and instantly detonated the audience!
The radiant Zhong Xu slowly walked down the ring, turning a deaf ear to the cheers around him. His expression didn't even change much. He went straight back to his preparation seat and sat down quietly.
From beginning to end, he said nothing, his temperament was cold, and he carried a slight sense of alienation that was incompatible with the excitement around him.
"You're so good at pretending----" Li Biao couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, curled his lips, and then added, "But---- he's really strong."
Jiang Hao and Su Zhining also nodded in agreement, with solemn expressions on their faces. They thought they were not much better than the defeated Fang Ge, but Zhong Xu's effortless and completely different level of crushing brought them a lot of psychological pressure.
Chen Mochuan, on the other hand, saw more things than his three companions.
Although the strength gap between the two sides was too big, he still got a glimpse of Zhong Xu's seemingly simple "push and send".
Fang Ge, who was "sent" out of the ring, was a little embarrassed after landing, but did not suffer any substantial damage. He quickly stood up on his own, but his face turned a little pale.
This shows that Zhong Xu's control of force has reached an extremely sophisticated level. It can instantly defeat the enemy and at the same time perfectly control the destructive force without causing unnecessary damage.
"This level of control over strength - perhaps not inferior to mine." Chen Mochuan silently evaluated in his mind, his eyes becoming more focused.
The next few duels were not as eye-catching as the first one.
Except for two games where the players were close in strength and the winner was decided after six or seven minutes of fierce battle, which made the audience excited, most of the duels ended in about three minutes.
In one of the games, player No. 7, who was the "top seed", matched up with an opponent with the serial number 35. Although the serial numbers of the two sides were very different, it still took the former nearly a minute to win. This further highlighted the unfathomable "instant kill" of Zhong Xu.
The next climax of the game came in the 9th match.
When the big screen showed [No. 4 (An Chiyu) vs. No. 9 (Deng Wei)]], the audience was excited again.
Not long after the match started, two extremely high-ranked seed players met early, making the anticipation for this showdown instantly high.
On the ring, two figures, a man and a woman, were intertwined, punching and kicking, and the fight was fierce.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that An Chiyu, who is in Mortal Shedding realm Martial Artist, has completely controlled the battle situation. Even if Deng Wei is Five Orifices Fully Opened's Tenth Rank Perfection Martial Warrior, he is not his opponent at all and can only support himself hard.
In the end, the two sides fought for more than 20 rounds and reached the edge of the ring. An Chiyu suddenly changed his moves and put a push hand stamp on Deng Wei's shoulder, knocking her off the ring.
The audience could see that An Chiyu had obviously spared some face for Deng Wei so that it would not lose too badly, but they did not hesitate to applaud this rather exciting duel.
Chen Mochuan, who was watching the battle carefully from the sidelines, knew that An Chiyu had reservations in this battle and only showed part of his strength. However, with his eyesight, he could still capture a lot of information from it.
"The control of strength is not as exquisite as Zhong Xu, and the degree of control over the body is not particularly high - the mental aspect is definitely not Mortal Shedding, but it should have reached the level of "touching Mental Barrier"."
"The absolute power is far beyond ordinary Tenth Rank Perfection Martial Warrior. The level of strength is probably similar to the first-order Wasteland Wolf spirit that was fused into my Martial Drill Space. More specific things will only become clear after actually fighting."
Just when he was carefully analyzing An Chiyu's strength, treating it as an imaginary enemy, and deducing countermeasures in his mind, Su Zhining's reminder came to his ears.
"Chen Mochuan, it's your turn to play."
