Nearly three hundred powerful figures at the Title Douluo level made their appearance.

It's definitely straightforward and hits the nail on the head.

But the subsequent Preliminary Round were quite drawn out.

The participants who registered for this competition met the requirements, namely, those aged twelve and under who possess one or more Soul Ring Soul Ring, as well as knights, mages, summoners, Soul Master, warriors, etc., who were forced to modify the rules due to the addition of the three worlds of Dou One God Seal Small World, Dou Two God Seal Small World Xiao World, and Dou Three San Shen Yin God Seal Small World, and were still eligible to participate. The total number of participants was 117,330, which is quite a large number.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it has three thousand arenas.

These three thousand arenas are just a drop in the ocean.

Because the number of arenas is limited.

The selection process for participants is two-way.

In other words, a participant can register for both the Team Competition and Individual Competition at the same time. The Smart Brain Soul Tool provided by the Shrek Academy will adjust the order based on the participants' battle times to prevent the competitions from starting simultaneously.

To put it more bluntly.

If a person registers for two competitions at the same time, the Smart Brain will prioritize the Team Competition and only schedule the Individual Competition after the Team Competition is completed.

Registration ≈ Reservation ≠ Immediate Participation.

Waiting is inevitable.

Generally speaking, the Smart Brain will give participants who have registered for two competitions at the same time about an hour of rest time. That is, after the Team Competition, they can rest for about an hour before the Individual Competition. This is the preliminary selection.

Among the three thousand arenas.

There are 2,500 arenas for Individual Competition.

The remaining 500 are for the Team Competition.

Therefore, after one round, the 2,500 Individual Competition arenas can be divided into 2,500 losers and 2,500 winners, while the 500 Team Competition arenas can be divided into 500 losing teams and 500 winning teams. The efficiency naturally decreases because everyone obviously participates in the Individual Competition. Although Team Competition require teams, it is not uncommon for temporary groups to be formed. There were even strange temporary teams with Soul Master, Knights, Priests, and Demon Race. With the idea that "why not fight if you're not going to lose," and the thought that they might actually win the championship with this cobbled-together team, the team competition arenas were also packed with people.

After one round.

The loser has nothing to say.

Naturally, they will be eliminated.

The winner's record will be recorded.

One hundred and seventy-three hundred and thirty people were eliminated in the first round of elimination matches, leaving fifty-eight thousand six hundred and sixty-five. Since there was an odd number left, and considering that luck is also a part of strength, one person was randomly selected from these fifty-eight thousand six hundred and sixty-five to receive a bye. Then, these fifty-eight thousand six hundred and sixty-four people continued to compete in pairs, resulting in twenty-nine thousand three hundred and thirty-two. Adding the one who received a bye, it was still not enough to eliminate the remaining number, so the one who received a bye was automatically eliminated. From the remaining twenty-nine thousand three hundred and thirty-two, one lucky person was randomly selected to replace the one who received a bye, and they competed in pairs again, resulting in fourteen thousand six hundred and sixty-six people. Then, the above steps were repeated.

In the end, only 115 people remained.

These 115 people are the winners.

The locked winner.

Then, the last 115 eliminated contestants will engage in a free-for-all, with only 13 winners remaining. This will determine the top 128.

And this whole process...

Even without the disruption caused by the Team Competition.

Because Team Competition take priority over Individual Competition in the Smart Brain's scheduling, when the competition times of the two events conflict, the Individual Competition will be automatically postponed or swapped with other opponents. The arena will be temporarily allocated to other Individual Competition participants, so the Individual Competition will inevitably be affected to some extent.

In short, even without these effects...

Individual Competition also last for more than seven days.

And then there was the impact of Team Competition.

The Individual Competition went on for eleven days straight.

Only 128 teams have been selected.

Fortunately, the remaining rounds were much less drawn out. This was not only because there were fewer people, but also because the 128 people who emerged from the 117,330 were all highly skilled. Even if there was an element of luck, in the final round of fierce competition, which involved 115 losers competing to determine 13 winners, and then the original 115 winners entering the final 64-team competition, the element of luck was reduced to a negligible level. Even if someone had a stroke of good fortune, they would simply accept it and their ranking would not be affected.

And any one of these 128 people.

They are all exceptional talents, selected from among thousands.

She is indeed naive.

Compared to Ye Qingcang, they were as weak as a bunch of dolls.

Compared to Feng Xiu, they are as weak as a group of ants.

It can be among peers.

Their excellence is beyond doubt.

Therefore, when these 128 individuals, selected from thousands, began to fight each other, the visual effect was vastly different from the initial preliminary rounds. Almost all the contestants were revealing their trump cards. In the preliminary rounds, the boy who had always defeated his opponents with a single punch finally displayed his respectable swordsmanship. In the preliminary rounds, the boy who had always defeated his opponents with his superior physical abilities also finally revealed his hidden illusion techniques.

The young players on the field were having a blast.

In the past, they could find no rivals in their hometown, like the invincible Dugu, and could only feel emptiness.

Now, they suddenly realize that there are so many peers who can compete with them, or even surpass them, that the emptiness they felt before was nothing at all.

A worthy opponent is a worthy opponent.

If a fight breaks out, there will be some heated exchanges.

But it is precisely because of this bit of temper.

It is precisely because of this mutual appreciation and exchange of ideas that we have been able to learn from each other.

Only then will the trump card be revealed.

That way, it won't be hidden any longer.

When facing an opponent of similar skill level, even if you know that your opponent is weaker than you, you might still reveal your trump card out of respect for their strength, just because they are eager to see your special move. This is what it means for heroes to appreciate each other.

This kind of behavior involves each other revealing their cards.

This also thrilled most of the audience members present.

Don't underestimate this group of young people who are only in their twenties. When they start fighting, their momentum is no less than that of an ordinary Soul Ancestor. Some of them even seem to have the ability to fight an ordinary Soul King.

Each according to their own preferences.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually warmed up.

In addition, since each of the top 128 is a top talent selected from thousands, the odds for betting have also increased significantly.

Many forces have begun to contact these teenagers.

There were also young girls among them.

However, girls can be classified as teenagers.

So the term "youth" is used to refer to all of them.

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the Dou Two World has extended invitations to many geniuses. It is not hard to see that these 128 geniuses, as long as they do not die young, will definitely become Title Douluo in the future. Ning Tian even came forward to invite the geniuses he favored to a chat.

What they're up to is obvious.

But regardless of whether the drug is obvious or not.

It's still about the superior and the inferior.

In front of the sect.

In front of the family.

As long as the method works, that's fine.

Personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning.

This is the educational philosophy of sects and families.

Besides, didn't you see the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family even coming in to snatch people away?

Young people over the age of twelve are starting to come up with their own ideas.

It's like a towering tree.

If you don't prune it when it's young and wait until it's grown up, not to mention whether you can prune it successfully, the effort required is much greater than what you would need when it was young.

So, whether you call it a marriage alliance or a forced union, it doesn't matter.

These hundred-plus young people are truly worthwhile.

This is also the treatment the world gives to the winners.

The strong deserve better.

Including everything known and everything unknown.

After the top 128 teams were narrowed down to the top 64, and then the 64 winners and 64 losers were determined, the 64 winners enjoyed double the benefits.

Moreover, this doubling is primarily due to a shift in the mindset of major powers.

Nine Divisions made, and 70 percent of the resources were divided equally.

On average, the champion of each competition receives about 7.77 resources. However, since both the Individual Competition and team competitions are won, the Individual Competition champion receives about 3.88 resources, which seems like a very small amount.

It's important to understand that this 3.88 represents approximately 70% of the resources contributed by each of the five worlds, added together.

Even if you sold the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from the Dou One World, you still couldn't reach this number!

With this amount of resources, even a pig could be turned into 100,000 Year Soul Beast. As long as someone has normal cultivation talent, even a mediocre person could be turned into a mediocre titled Douluo!

Not to mention, selecting a champion from 110,000 people is already beyond one in ten thousand. This is almost the strongest genius among peers in the five worlds. It is no exaggeration to say that he is like a tiger with wings!

Therefore, while the other 127 out of the 128 geniuses may need investment, protectors, or allegiance to powerful forces, the champion has already become a force in himself. At such a young age, he already possesses the ability to influence the overall situation of the world. His choices will determine the rise and fall of a force or even a nation. This is the true value of the champion among the Nine Divisions!

Therefore, when 128 people become 64 people.

When sixty-four people became thirty-two.

When thirty-two people become sixteen.

When sixteen people become eight.

When eight people become four.

In the very end, when it became just the two of them.

All factions have shown their true colors.

He tried to befriend the two who remained until the end.

This is a win-win situation. As long as you win the championship with sincerity, you can not only gain an unparalleled genius of the same age, but also ensure that your own resources remain intact. Even if you don't win the championship of the final Eight Divisions, with this 3.88 value, you can still protect yourself. At worst, you can release the original resources and use this 3.88 share to exchange for other resources. It's just like exchanging a gem mine for a jade mine. Although this analogy is a bit rough, and it's not that much, it can still ensure that your total assets remain intact.

"What a pity..." Gazing at the two boys locked in a fierce battle on the circular arena, which was three kilometers in diameter, Wang Dong'er, who already knew the truth, propped her pretty face up with one hand and sat on the sofa in the penthouse box, teasing Ye Qingcang with a smile, "If others knew that these two kids were students of a branch of your Blue Tyrant Academy and would be attending your Blue Tyrant Academy this September, I'm afraid those old foxes in those powerful factions would be furious."

"What's there to be angry about?"

"They are just students from a branch of the Blue Tyrant Academy."

"Its full name is Blue Tyrant Junior Soul Master Academy."

"The real Blue Tyrant Academy is called Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"So, it doesn't mean that just because they were students in the branch academy before, and their dream was to join Blue Tyrant Academy after graduating from the branch academy, they will definitely join Blue Tyrant Academy after this competition."

"Perhaps they will choose other options."

"Join the Star Luo Empire?"

"Join the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Join the Spirit Hall?"

"Join... the Six Great Temples or the Demon Race?"

"It's their freedom, isn't it?"

"Just like them standing here... I didn't provide them with any special help. Out of 128 contestants, only 43 came from the various branches of the Blue Tyrant Academy. There are more than 2,000 students who came from the various branches of the Blue Tyrant Academy like them, but in the end, only 43 of them have names and surnames... It's all due to their own efforts."

"Now, the two of them can stand here."

"The same principle applies."

Ye Qingcang leaned back on the sofa.

Wearing casual clothes.

Hugging a cushion.

Watching the game on the big screen.

Although Blue Tyrant Academy is a treasure trove for a Soul Master to rise rapidly, with its Nine Wonders, Flower Path, and Pavilion in the Lake, where having credits is equivalent to having unlimited resources, and climbing up the ranks allows access to the Blue Tyrant Academy's high-level connections, these Blue Tyrant Junior Soul Master Academy, as branch academies, naturally also have some special resources. For example, each branch dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy has a quota of teaching slots. If they find a promising talent in their branch, they can spend their credits to apply for special resources for that talent, such as the Feng Hou Qi Men, the Shuangquan Hand, the Heaven Devouring Earth Destroying Seven Great Limits, and the Dipper Steps. Even though these special resources have limits, such as Stellar Martial Arts, Alchemy, Burning Art, Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art, and One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, which cannot be exchanged even with credits, these special resources, even if exchanged, can still make the branch's Heaven's Chosen stand out.

The premise is that they can learn it.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang didn't care about these resources.

They didn't care about these geniuses either.

Assuming that after the final, the champion chooses to join another faction after graduating from the branch academy, while the runner-up chooses to join Blue Tyrant Academy, he believes that in the second Two Worlds Exchange Tournament five years later, in the final for those under twenty, the runner-up who joined Blue Tyrant Academy will definitely defeat the champion who joined another faction. This is because Blue Tyrant Academy possesses certain unique resources that are indeed one-of-a-kind and superior to other systems, just like Stellar Martial Arts, which crushes the rest.

So, at that time, what matters is having a broad perspective.

In life, talent and ability are very important.

Effort is more important.

But above all these important things.

More importantly, it's about perspective and mindset.

And, no one can say for sure when the opportunity will come.

Even Ye Qingcang couldn't say for sure.

Because opportunities, chances, and chances are always something that can only be encountered by chance.

Forcing things will only lead to a less desirable outcome.

The path is one's own choice.

He doesn't care about the present moment.

Why would they care about the future?
