Meng Qiuran stood up again, discussed in low voices with several inspectors from the city beside him for a moment, and then cleared his throat, his voice echoing over the entire school grounds.
"There are still three seats left among the top ten in the martial arts competition. According to the old practice, the seven people who have been eliminated in this round will be determined by another competition."
"The rules are as follows: Seven people draw lots, one person gets a bye, and the remaining six people compete in pairs. The winner and the bye person fight again. In the end, the two winners will get the eighth and ninth place, and the two losers will decide the final tenth place."
As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion in the stands.
"This rule is fair. It gives the loser a chance without delaying it too long."
"Who do you think can grab those three spots?"
"Gu Qingyan must have one. Although she lost to Jiang Fa, her strength is there. There are not many people here who can definitely beat her."
"It is also very possible that Fang Chao and Lie Jingyun can snatch one of the monsters from Shi Kaishan if they were not destroyed by Qin Xuan's finger."
"Huo Qing and He Sanjin are not weak either, but it's a pity that they were injured more seriously."
He Sanjin was still lying in the medical shed at this moment. It is said that his sternum was cracked by Li Kunlun's punch, and he couldn't get out of bed for a month.
Lu Jiu leaned against the wooden pillar, turning a deaf ear to the discussions around him, and seemed indifferent to everything that followed.
The seven eliminated warriors were recalled to the field.
He Sanjin was carried by two doctors using door panels. His face was ashen, and he finally put his thumbprint at the registration desk to sign off his qualification for the rematch.
This battle is related to the crucial top ten spots. Gu Qingyan, Fang Chao, Shi Kaishan, Luo Zhen, Huo Qing, and Lie Jingyun, no matter how injured they are, they obviously have no intention of giving up as long as they can continue to fight, and they are all here.
The six people quickly completed the draw.
In the first scene, Gu Qingyan versus Huo Qing.
Huo Qing's ribs were still wrapped with thick bandages. The injury sustained by Liu Mang's stick was obviously far from healed, and there was a slight twitch with every step he took.
On the other hand, Gu Qingyan, although his right leg was still a little sore and numb, Jiang Fa's punch left some room after all and did not really hurt his muscles and bones. After continuous adjustment of his breath, he had recovered to 70% to 80%.
The two came on stage. Huo Qing barely managed to hold on for more than a dozen moves before being kicked in the chest by Gu Qingyan. He flew out of the ring and was unable to fight back.
In the second game, Fang Chao faced Shi Kaishan.
The injury on Shi Kaishan's chest that marked the opening of the monument was extremely serious. His meridians were damaged and his energy and blood were not flowing smoothly, but his arrogant physical body was still there after all. After he came on stage, he rushed towards Fang Chao like a mad cow.
Fang Chao's sword skills were sharp and he rushed to attack with his sword, but Shi Kaishan refused to dodge at all. He protected his vital parts with both arms and hit him hard against the blade.
Fang Chao was knocked back several steps by the terrifying force. Before he could stand still, Shi Kaishan's heavy punches came down overwhelmingly.
The two fought hard for dozens of moves, and finally Shi Kaishan caught Fang Chao while he was changing his sword and punched Fang Chao on his right wrist, knocking the thick-backed sword away from his hand.
But just when he was about to pursue the victory, the old wound on his chest suddenly burst open, blood gushed out, and he suddenly fell to his knees.
Fang Chao gritted his teeth, picked up the broken knife on the ground with his left hand, and held it across Shi Kaishan's throat.
Fang Chaosheng!
In the third game, Luo Zhen versus Lie Jingyun.
Luo Zhen was seriously injured.
His right shoulder was pierced by Zhou Tai's gun, and his face was hit hard by the gun-powered punch. His whole face was so swollen that he could hardly open his eyes.
But he just refused to give up.
After all, Lie Jingyun's condition was much better than Luo Zhen's.
When the two came on stage, Luo Zhen's left eye had been swollen to a slit, and the gunshot wound on his right shoulder made it impossible to lift his entire arm. He could only hold on with his left hand and his blood-filled heart.
Lie Jingyun didn't hold back.
He attacked with all his strength from the beginning, using the Split Wind Fist with the whistling wind to hit Luo Zhen's injured right side.
Luo Zhen gritted his teeth and used his left hand to block, but after less than ten moves, Lie Jingyun hit the old injury on his right shoulder with a heavy punch. His whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He knelt down on one knee and could no longer stand up.
"Lee Feng Martial Arts Hall, Lie Jing Yun Sheng!"
People from the Iron Fist Gym swarmed in and lifted Luo Zhen down. Luo Tiefeng's face was ashen, but he knew that his son had tried his best.
The three final places decided at this point fell into the hands of Gu Qingyan, Fang Chao and Lie Jingyun.
The three winners will draw lots again to determine the final ranking.
At the end of the rematch, the top ten spots have been settled, but the specific seats for eighth, ninth, and tenth still need to be decided by Gu Qingyan, Lie Jingyun, and Fang Chao.
After discussing in low voices with several inspectors, Meng Qiuran announced the final rules, "Three people draw lots, No. 1 and No. 2 will fight first, No. 3 will have a bye, the loser will fight with No. 3, and the winner will fight with No. 3 again. Each win will get one point, and the ranking will be based on points. If the points are the same, the winner will prevail."
There was a lot of discussion in the stands, and many people had already figured out the situation. As long as Gu Qingyan won both games, she would be ranked eighth, and the remaining two would discuss ninth and tenth.
The draw was completed quickly.
Gu Qingyan won the third lottery and got a bye.
Fang Chao and Lie Jingyun fought first.
This arrangement can't be said to be good or bad, it just gave Gu Qingyan extra time to adjust to her injuries.
Her right leg is still slightly sore, but it does not affect her movement.
"Senior Sister Gu, you can do it!" Pei Yan'er clenched her fists and her face turned red.
Gu Qingyan nodded and glanced at the field. Although she was quietly relieved, she still didn't dare to slack off.
Now that she has firmly entered the top ten, the battle for ranking no longer matters, but being able to fight with the best among her peers also has many benefits for her.
Fang Chao and Lie Jingyun had already boarded the ring at this time.
Fang Chao's face was not pretty, and there was a thick bandage wrapped around his right wrist, which was injured by Shi Kaishan.
He was holding a thick-backed knife in his left hand, and it was obvious that his right hand could no longer exert force.
If a sword-wielding warrior loses his dominant hand, his combat power will be reduced by at least 30%.
On the other hand, Lie Jingyun, despite going through two consecutive battles, was not seriously injured. After adjusting his breath, his condition has recovered to 90%.
In the eyes of many people, this scene has little suspense.
The two stood on the stage.
Fang Chao held the thick-backed knife in front of him, with the tip of the knife drooping slightly. His whole body was like a fully drawn bow, and his whole body was tense.
Lie Jingyun still used his bare hands to open the Split Wind Fist.
"Brother Fang, your right hand is injured. I don't want to take advantage of others' danger and compete for ranking. It will end as soon as the point is made. You and I can just do our best."
Lie Jingyun clasped his fists and sounded like a loud bell.
Fang Chao had no expression on his face and just said lightly, "Please."
The referee ordered the flag to fall.
Lie Jingyun was the first to move.
As soon as he stepped down, he was like a tiger descending down the mountain, punching out like the wind, punch after punch, with the sharp sound of breaking through the air with the unique sound of the Splitting Wind Fist, crushing towards the front.
The Splitting Wind Fist is famous for its "fastness, fierceness, and fierceness". The warriors who watched the battle last night had experienced its power, but it was only suppressed by Lu Jiu's more treacherous movements, which made it look dim.
At this moment, his fists were in full swing, and Fang Chao was immediately involved in a stormy offensive.
Fang Chao retreated while blocking with his left-hand knife. The blade of the knife collided with the edge of his fist, making a dense sound of gold and iron.
"The sword in the left hand is not as good as the right hand after all."
Someone in the stands sighed.
