"Wow, this is the biggest venue I've ever seen!" Yang Xiaochuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"So, this fourth round of the competition this year will be a ring match?" Lin Yuxi asked curiously.
Tang Hongshan crossed his arms: "It seems so. Otherwise, why bring the athletes to a venue like this?"
At 1:30 p.m., all the contestants had arrived.
The chief referee walked out of the passage, took the microphone and began to speak: "The fourth round of the competition is about to begin. I will now announce the competition rules."
"First of all, there is an initial ranking for the fourth round of the competition. This ranking is based on the results of the first three rounds. You can look at the big screen first."
On the stadium's large screen, the rankings of all the players who had advanced to the next round were displayed.
From 1st place to 200th place.
Upon seeing this, all the media reporters immediately pointed their cameras at the big screen.
This kind of pre-match data analysis is a major highlight that they release to the media!
Of course, it's impossible to let it go.
Several media reporters, upon seeing the rankings, began discussing among themselves: "As expected... it's really not surprising at all, this year's number one is still Mu Xun, a student from Guigu Academy!"
"Yes, I thought that with such a strong lineup of contestants this year, things might change a bit, but it seems that Guiguzi will still dominate the championship this year."
"Guiguzi is amazing!"
"If Guigu wins this year's championship, it will be his 29th consecutive title, right?"
"Tsk tsk, how terrifying..."
"In that case, let's discuss who came in second place this year in today's news!"
"......"
The media reporters chattered and discussed it for quite a while.
Lin Yuxi stared at the big screen, frowning, and said, "Lin Nai's ranking... 33?? Why is it so low? Wasn't Lin Nai the only one who broke the illusion in the third round?"
Old Zhang shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. If we follow the rankings from the first three rounds, Lin Nai's results from the second round are essentially invalid, which will naturally lower his ranking."
Lin Nai didn't speak, staring at the big screen, seemingly lost in thought.
At this point, the chief referee said, "Actually, the rankings in this round are not very important, especially for the players who are already ranked in the top 64. Now, I will announce the detailed rules for this round."
"This round is a challenge match, with 200 contestants narrowed down to 64. The top 64 contestants will automatically advance to the final round."
"Each player ranked 65-200 has one opportunity to challenge a player ranked 64."
"It means that if you think a player ranked lower is weak and doesn't deserve to advance from the top 64, you can choose to defeat that player. After defeating them, your rankings will be swapped."
"Don't be discouraged if you are defeated by someone else, because after your ranking drops, you will still have a chance to challenge players ranked 1-64. If you win, you can return to the top 64."
"I suggest that players ranked 65-200 should think carefully when choosing their opponents, because if you lose, you will be eliminated directly."
"Until only 64 contestants remain."
After the chief referee finished speaking, he glanced at the audience of the contestants and said, "Does anyone have any questions? You can ask them now."
One contestant raises their hand.
"ask."
"Hmm... How many times can the top 64 contestants be challenged? If they win a challenge, they won't be challenged again?"
"No, there is no limit to the number of times you can be challenged." The chief referee said calmly, "In other words, if your strength is generally considered to be relatively weak, even if all the lower-ranked contestants keep choosing you, you still have to accept the challenge."
The contestant: "......"
“We have the best team of healing superhumans and a sufficient supply of medicine,” the chief referee said. “As long as you don’t die or get injured by special substances, we can quickly restore you to your best condition and get you back to preparing for the competition.”
The contestants looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Yuxi whispered, "Hmm, does this competition format mean...?"
Lin Nai squinted and nodded slightly: "Yes, among the top 64 players, some of the stronger players may not even need to play a single match to advance directly to the next round."
In this round of competition, players ranked 65-200 who want to advance will definitely choose opponents who are relatively weak.
As for those with strong abilities, such as Mu Xun, Bai Liao, Hua Lingze, and Bai Shou... it's estimated that no one would dare to choose them.
Because you only have one chance to challenge, if you fail, you are eliminated.
Choosing them is no different from suicide.
"I see..." Old Zhang's eyes darted around, the cigarette between his fingers emitting wisps of smoke. "That's not bad. I feel like Lin Nai, you can just take a break this round. Although you're ranked 33rd, after the previous rounds, those players must already know your strength, so I doubt many people will choose you."
The chief referee continued, "Next, players ranked 65th to 200th will use their respective systems to choose their opponents. Players ranked 200th to 190th will start by choosing, and the matches will begin simultaneously in all ten venues!"
Tiger Xiong sat in his seat at the gene company and glanced at Lin Nai and Mu Xun in the distance.
Mu Xun, as a disciple of Guigu, is almost impossible to defeat.
As for Linnaeus, although he is an apostle of the White Reaper, he is only a Level 2 transcendent being, so he still has some chance...
Hu Xiong gritted his teeth, looked down at his outstretched palm.
In his palm, he held three short, deep red gene-enhancing drugs.
This is his last trump card.
As a new drug, it has not yet been tested by anyone.
If we use them all at once, who knows what the consequences will be...
"Hey, Wu Ming," Hu Xiong said in a deep voice, as if he had made up his mind.
"Uh?... " A student next to him suddenly heard Hu Xiong call his name and asked timidly, "Brother Hu... is there something you need?"
Do you want to advance?
"Yes, of course I want to!"
"Then when you choose your opponent, just pick me, and I'll let you advance."
"Huh?" Wu Ming exclaimed in surprise, "Then you..."
"I'll fight my way up myself," Tiger said expressionlessly. "It's none of your business."
Wu Ming was somewhat bewildered. He didn't know why Hu Xiong was doing this, but of course, it would be best if someone could help him advance: "Oh, okay..."
