After the weapon refining assessment was over, no one left.
In addition to the weapon refining assessment, there is another highlight today: announcing the shortlist and overall ranking of Arena Trial.
There were a lot more people on the school field than before. The weapon-refining competition ended just now, and many people hadn't left yet. Some new spectators squeezed in, all wanting to see the results immediately.
Qin Tiexin and Lin Chuan stood in the middle of the stands, waiting for the announcement.
After about half a stick of incense, the prince stood up and walked to the stage.
The whole place fell silent.
"All four assessments of Skills Trial are over." The prince said, his voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, "Based on the results of Written Examination Trial, Temperament Trial, Secret Realm Trial and Skills Trial, the list of 128 contestants shortlisted for Arena Trial is now announced."
Behind him, a huge light screen lit up. The list scrolled from top to bottom, and rows of names and rankings appeared.
"Arena Trial rules are as follows: One hundred and twenty-eight people are randomly divided, two people fight, the winner is promoted, and the loser is eliminated. The top ten are finally determined and receive the final reward."
Qin Tiexin looked up at the light screen and looked for his name.
The first place, a name he didn't recognize, looked at the label on the back, it was Secret Realm Trial and Skills Trial, two top masters, from a certain large sect.
The second and third place are also the disciples of the big sect or Aristocratic Clan.
Scroll down a few rows.
The eighth place, Liu Suifeng.
Qin Tiexin glanced at Liu Suifeng. Liu Suifeng was grinning and his eyes were narrowed to a slit.
With perfect scores in the secret realm and first place in the formation, this result is very valuable.
It may be that they avoided the first two levels, which resulted in low weighting, and the overall ranking was only eighth. Those players ranked before Liu Suifeng should have participated in the first two levels and achieved good results.
Further down, No. 15, Qin Tiexin.
He also took a glance at it and saw that the fifteenth one was neither too prominent nor too far behind. He calculated it himself and found that Written Examination Trial should have more points deducted. After all, Temperament Trial and Secret Realm Trial both had full marks.
After entering Arena Trial, you have to rely on your fists to speak. Senior Brother Chen Xi's requirement for himself is to be in the top ten overall. It seems that he must break into at least the top eight or even the top four.
Looking further down, the twenty-fifth one, Xu Ying, is fifth in alchemy. Coupled with the previous accumulation, the ranking is not low.
Lin Chuan and Du Heng did not participate in Skills Trial, ranking outside the 50th place, but they successfully entered the top 128.
Among them, Qin Tiexin also saw the names of several acquaintances, Chen Chen, Yan Yue, Qian Donglai, Xiao Yan, etc., all entered the final arena, but the name of Xiao Wan was not seen.
After the list was announced, the whole place was in an uproar.
Qin Tiexin can feel that there are more eyes around him than before.
The fifteenth one is no longer unknown. Coupled with his performance in the weapon refining assessment just now, people have begun to pay attention to him.
"Everyone is happy to have entered the top 128." Liu Suifeng clapped his hands.
Lin Chuan nodded. "The ranking is not important, the key is that we have all entered Arena Trial, then let's show off our talents."
Du Heng said, "That's right. Arena Trial, it's a mule or a horse. Take it out for a walk. I won't be merciful when the time comes."
Xu Ying said softly, "I am ranked high, so I have benefited from alchemy. Arena Trial, I may not be able to go far, it depends on you."
Lin Chuan comforted, "Don't think so much, just try your best."
Xu Ying nodded and said nothing more.
On the stage, the prince continued to announce.
"Everyone who has been shortlisted, go back and recuperate for a few days. In five days, the final arena competition will be held at the arena outside Morning Star Training Ground."
He paused and looked around the room.
"The final winner will have the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit and even enter the royal treasury to select treasures. Other contestants with outstanding performance will also receive official posts and other rewards."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in commotion again.
Face saints, treasure troves, official positions, any of them are great benefits. For the Myriad Stars Dynasty monks, especially Rogue Cultivator, it is an opportunity to change their destiny.
The prince didn't say much and left the venue after announcing the rules.
The crowd began to disperse. Qin Tiexin Several people also walked out.
On the way, Liu Suifeng was still thinking about his ranking.
Du Heng said, "Arena Trial, you have to work hard and don't get eliminated in the first round. That would be so embarrassing."
Liu Suifeng glanced at him sideways. "Don't worry, I'm in eighth place anyway, and I won't be too disappointed in the group drawn. But you, on the other hand, are ranked fifty. Don't blame me for laughing at you if you encounter a tough opponent in the first round."
"We rely on our fighting power to make a living. We are not afraid of anyone we meet. But don't worry, I will show mercy once I meet you." Du Heng retorted.
The two bickered all the way. Lin Chuan walked behind, not talking much, but with a smile on his lips.
Qin Tiexin was walking at the back, not walking fast, but thinking about other things in his mind.
Arena Trial is different from Secret Realm Trial.
There were very few people watching in Secret Realm Trial, but the century-old Star Selection is Myriad Prosperity Dynasty's top priority. Arena Trial is open to the public for the entire battle. It is said that even the prince may come in person that day.
As a result, if he wants to get a good ranking, he has to carefully consider the number of martial arts methods:
Neither the identity of "Azure Xuan Region Qin Tiexin" nor the background of "Secret Realm Trial Liu Qing" can be revealed, and the behavior of "Zhaoming Temple Mingjue" must always be revealed.
Under the shackles of three identities, you can imagine how difficult it is to break into the top eight.
If he could really let go of his hands and feet, with Edgeless in hand, he would not be afraid of anyone. But there are many restrictions now, so he must first think clearly about which martial arts skills can be used and which ones must not be revealed.
Weapons are not a problem.
Yuanshun can use the Zen staff, which was the trophy he captured when he ambushed him; plus the previously forged short sword "Star Scar", both long and short are available.
In terms of martial arts, "Sumeru Immovable Instruction" and "Blood Qi Heavy Abyss" are both new skills. They have not been exposed on the surface, but they can be used. However, these two skills are more auxiliary. If you only use Arhat Fist for the main attack, it may not be enough.
This matter must be carefully weighed.
Back in the small courtyard, Ming'an was waiting for him at the door. The little monk was sitting cross-legged on the threshold of the inner room, twisting beads in his hand. When he saw him coming back, he stood up.
"Brother! You are back! How was the competition?"
"Third place." Qin Tiexin said.
"Third place!" Ming'an's eyes lit up, "Senior brother is awesome! What about Arena Trial? Did you get in?"
"Enter. Fifteenth place."
"Great!" Ming'an clapped his hands, "Brother, can I go and see it then?"
Qin Tiexin thought for a while, "We'll talk about it then."
Ming'an said oh and didn't ask again. He knew that when his senior brother said "let's talk", he meant it was possible.
The two of them entered the yard. Qin Tiexin washed their faces, changed into clean clothes, and sat down to eat.
Ming'an sat opposite and asked while eating, "Brother, Arena Trial is it a fight?"
"Hmm."
"Can senior brother win?"
Qin Tiexin picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"Just do your best."
Ming'an nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head to eat, his little mouth bulging.
