This rule actually has a great advantage for those who have byes, and there is a certain element of luck involved, but because the top three can enter the third trial, it is relatively reasonable.
Mr. Luo looked around the field and asked other students for their opinions.
“No problem!”
"Well then, students who have entered the second trial, go ahead!"
As soon as Mr. Luo finished speaking, he heard a lot of discussion at the entrance. Then, one figure after another walked slowly by, being watched by countless envious eyes, and slowly walked into the venue.
"Brother Gu, come on, I believe you can definitely get first place!"
Zhao Er shouted excitedly.
Gu Qingze smiled and waved to him.
"I won't let you down in this trial."
Su Han looked at Gu Qingze, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Me too! We all need to give our all in this trial and bring out our strongest strength!"
Gu Qingze smiled and looked at Chu Lingxiao, giving him an encouraging look.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come on!"
Su Ming also said with a smile.
"The duel opponent for this trial will be decided by drawing lots."
Mr. Luo gestured with his hand, and someone quickly ran up with a bamboo stick tube. Gu Qingze and the others stretched out their hands and each pulled out a stick.
When they pulled out the bamboo sticks again, everyone's eyes were focused on them. This intense trial was about to begin.
Gu Qingze looked at the bamboo stick in his hand. There was a "one" marked on the stick. Then he raised the bamboo stick. Seeing this, others also raised their bamboo sticks.
"Master Gu, I didn't expect it would be us."
Chen Tianyou's face looked a little strange. He shook the bamboo stick in his hand next to Gu Qingze. There was also a number there that was the same as Gu Qingze's. Obviously, he was Gu Qingze's opponent.
"Well, we'll all give it our all later."
Gu Qingze was obviously relieved. As long as his opponent was not Chu Lingxiao, he didn't want to meet him.
"Ling Xiao, who is your opponent?"
Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao with concern.
"My opponent is Zhou Yue."
Chu Lingxiao shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Winning or losing the duel is not important; safety comes first."
Gu Qingze patted his shoulder and reminded him.
It’s not that Gu Qingze doesn’t believe in Chu Lingxiao’s strength, but the gap between his cultivation and Zhou Yue’s is too big. If he draws Su Ming, there is still a possibility of fighting, but Zhou Yue’s strength is one level higher than Chu Lingxiao, and his actual combat level has always been very strong.
In the original novel, the male protagonist was in the second trial. Because the gap in cultivation was too big, he was not ranked in the top three, so he did not qualify to participate in the third trial, which triggered the subsequent plot.
Chu Lingxiao nodded after hearing Gu Qingze's reminder. He hadn't expected to pass the trial in the first place, so it would be great to take this opportunity to spar with Zhou Yue and gain some practical experience.
"Your opponent in the first round is Chen Tianyou. As long as you perform consistently, there will be no problem!"
"Got it, Ling Xiao. Remember to watch my wonderful performance when you're watching from the audience!"
Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao, and they smiled at each other.
Ding ding ding!
As the sound of gongs came from Qingyun Square again, Su Han and Su Ming looked at the order of their bamboo sticks, and then slowly left the venue. The first duel was between Gu Qingze and Chen Tianyou!
