They've already advanced to the top 32; those who make it to this stage are the elite of the elite.
Every contestant has great potential.
It's not surprising that the tournament organizers rewarded these players with resources.
Such small prizes have been offered in previous years as well.
Therefore, Hua Lingze, Chu Men, Meng Feifei, and the others had no doubts whatsoever.
"What kind of reward is it?" Meng Feifei's eyes lit up as soon as he heard about the reward. He took the box from the referee and opened it.
Inside the box was a small brown pill with faint patterns on it.
Hua Lingze was slightly taken aback and said, "This is... a Spirit Gathering Pill?"
"Huh?" Meng Feifei asked blankly, "What is a Spirit Gathering Pill?"
Hua Lingze was both amused and exasperated: "Don't you know about the Spirit Gathering Pill? It's a pill that can quickly increase the strength level of your soul power. You can also think of it as an experience pill. Because the materials used to make it are very rare, each one is priceless, and the production is very limited, so it's hard to buy on the market."
“Yes.” Truman also took out his Spirit Gathering Pill from the box and said, “This kind of pill is more valuable than Soul Crystals. Soul Crystals help speed up your cultivation, but this thing can directly increase your extraordinary level. For extraordinary individuals below level 10, a Spirit Gathering Pill can almost directly increase your level by one.”
"Huh?!" Meng Feifei was startled upon hearing this: "Holy crap, that's amazing?!"
"The competition organizers are being unusually generous this time..." Hua Lingze exclaimed. "Even our Hua family doesn't have many of these Spirit Gathering Pills in our warehouse."
The referee, a middle-aged man with bright blue eyes, smiled and said, "Because this year's contestants are the strongest in the last ten years or so, the organizing committee made this decision on short notice, and the prizes will naturally be more generous."
Meng Feifei laughed upon hearing this: "Haha, as expected, the competition organizers have good taste!"
Lin Nai suddenly looked at him and asked, "Why are these prizes not sent to each contestant's system via system email, but instead given out by the referees?"
Lin Nai's question surprised both Chu Men and Hua Lingze, who both looked at him at the same time.
"Oh, I see." The referee still had a friendly smile on his face and was not flustered at all: "The official system has had a slight problem these past two days. The system is under maintenance. In order not to affect the normal conduct of the competition, some things that can be done manually will not rely on the system."
Linnaeus paused for a moment, then said, "Is that so...?"
"By the way, after all the matches today, all the contestants who advance will need to go to the medical examination room again for a urine test," the referee said. "Please don't forget, contestants."
Hua Lingze nodded gently: "Okay, we understand. Thank you for your help."
"It's nothing," the referee said, then turned and left.
He didn't look at Ye Wan'er once from beginning to end.
Looking at the referee's back at night, I felt a mix of emotions.
It can't be wrong...
It must be him...
Truman looked at Linnaeus and suddenly asked, "Brother, do you think there's something strange about this?"
"Oh, no." Lin Nai glanced at the departing figure of the blue-eyed referee uncle, pretended to be nonchalant, and put away the box containing the Spirit Gathering Pill.
......
The competition is divided into 64 teams and 32 teams, with a total of 32 matches.
The competition lasted from morning until evening, and finally all 32 matches were completed.
The list of advancing contestants was once again displayed on the main screen in the arena.
At the same time, the draw for the next round of 32 to 16 was also displayed directly on the screen.
Linna glanced at the big screen.
His opponent in the round of 32 was Yu Yuanyuan from Shanhai University.
The first seed of Shanhai University.
Lin Nai was slightly taken aback.
The memory of that day at the hot pot restaurant immediately came to mind...
Is it that girl with half-succubus blood?
"Hey! Handsome Linnai!"
At that moment, a woman's voice came.
Lin Nai turned his head and saw Yu Yuanyuan, looking smug, waving at him with a smile from the preparation area of Shanhai University not far away: "Please go easy on me in the next round~"
Linnaeus: "..."
After a while, the spectators in the stadium were all evacuated.
The chief referee came out and said to the 32 contestants who had advanced: "Thank you all for your hard work today. After the event, you will all need to go to the medical examination room for routine check-ups to ensure the fairness of the competition."
"Tomorrow morning, the round of 32 will be held; in the afternoon, the round of 16 will be held. So you need to be prepared for two high-intensity matches tomorrow."
"If there are no problems, disband!"
After the group dispersed, Meng Feifei put his arms behind his head and said, "How about we all go out and have a celebratory feast?"
Truman habitually touched his glasses and said casually, "I need to go back and study the information on our next opponent."
Hua Lingze said, "Me too. After all, we've already made it into the top 32. Every opponent we encounter after that is strong, so we can't let our guard down."
Meng Feifei said dejectedly, "Seriously? Is everyone so disappointing?" Then she turned her head and asked, "Nai-ge, what did you say... Hey? Where's Nai-ge? Where did he go again?"
......
"Chief Referee, please wait a moment."
The chief referee was just about to finish his work and go home when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
Looking back, I realized it was Lin Nai.
"It's you?" The chief referee habitually put his hands behind his back and asked, "What is it?"
"I have a question," Linna asked, looking at him. "Is there a malfunction in the competition's system? Is it under maintenance?"
"Yes, it's under maintenance." The chief referee asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Linnaeus's eyebrows twitched slightly.
I never expected it to be true.
"Do all the contestants who make it to the top 32 receive a Spirit Gathering Pill as a prize?"
Yes, there is such a prize.
"......"
Why are you suddenly asking these questions?
"It's nothing." Lin Nai bowed slightly and said thank you, "Thank you, sorry to bother you." Then she turned and left.
The chief referee watched Linnaeus's departing figure, his face expressionless.
If Linna could still see the chief judge's face at this moment, he would notice that his eyes were dull and lifeless, not at all like the eyes of a conscious person.
A middle-aged man with bright blue eyes, wearing a referee's uniform, walked out from behind him, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "You did a good job."
Then he looked at Lin Nai and gave her a half-smile, a contemptuous and sinister smile that sent chills down one's spine.
'An apostle of the White Death?'
"hehe."
'That's interesting...'
