Group stage.
There are fourteen groups, with nine people in each group.
Nine third-place finishers are the number one seeds, and the remaining five number one seeds are filled by the top four teams from the five regions with the best performance in previous years.
Qiao Qiao went on stage to draw lots and drew the thirteenth group.
So, all the remaining geniuses who drew lots were hoping to be drawn into Group Thirteen.
When the teacher leading the Southeast Theater Command team saw that their team had drawn number 13 in the semifinals, he clenched his fists with joy in the audience.
Although he knew the other party had mastered martial arts.
However, their four finalists also mastered martial arts, and their special abilities were combat-related, with higher health and vitality than their opponents.
Given the Northwest Theater's past record, drawing Qiao Qiao would undoubtedly be the best possible outcome.
The teacher leading the group was excited.
The people of the Southeast Theater were also cheering for the good result.
In response, those geniuses who had participated in the four-school training camp...
They were all relieved to find that they hadn't drawn number 13.
Of the five members of Su Yu's team, four are already waiting in the top 32.
They really couldn't guarantee that they could win against the last remaining lucky goddess.
Besides, who has the time to try and beat Lady Luck? People are too busy trying to win her over!
......
The group stage has officially begun.
With 72 people eliminated at the very beginning, the competition format is extremely brutal.
Li Chengan, sitting in the audience, was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
He kept his eyes fixed on the arena where Qiao Qiao's group was located.
As long as Qiao Qiao can advance!
Their Northwest Theater broke a ten-year record that no one had been able to advance from the group stage!
In the group stage and round-robin stage, each player has to play eight matches.
Everyone has their own interests and concerns.
On stage number thirteen, Qiao Qiao won one, two, three, four...
Slowly, on the number thirteen arena...
Only Qiao Qiao and Mo Quanli, one of the top four teams in the Southeast Theater, have not yet faced off.
The two finally met, and the winner emerged victorious, while the loser's efforts were in vain.
In a state of extreme tension, the two began their contest.
Thus, Qiao Qiao began a fighting style that she had never shown in the previous seven matches.
On the arena, Qiao Qiao's blood and energy erupted.
The long whip in his hand attacked Mo Quanli like a raging serpent.
As arranged by Su Yu.
Her vital energy and blood erupted completely, and every lash was her most powerful force.
If the opponent can dodge, they will win after one minute.
But! If her opponent fails to block even once, she wins.
The teacher leading the team from the Southeast Theater Command was stunned.
The national college entrance examination is a major competition, and they're still resorting to these three-pronged tricks? Do they really not consider their opponents human?
Mo Quanli just needs to dodge!
He stared at the ring, repeatedly chanting in his mind, "Create distance! Create distance! Creating distance means winning!"
*Snap!* The Serpent Whip anticipated Mo Quanli's retreat.
*Snap!* I predicted it again.
*Snap!* A whip lashed across Mo Quanli's back.
His back was instantly torn open, bleeding profusely.
*Pfft!* Fresh blood spurted out!
He was stunned by the series of lashes that seemed to read his mind.
His body swayed slightly, and he was trying to force himself to use his superpower.
Snap! Another lash of the whip, anticipating his movement, spun back and aimed straight at his throat.
A flash of light appeared on the arena.
Qiao Qiao successfully advanced to the top 32.
The teacher leading the team from the Southeast District was stunned, and Mo Quanli was also stunned after stepping off the stage.
The other person's superpower is mind reading? But in the end, I don't even know where I'm supposed to hide!
......
The group stage has ended.
Fourteen people advanced.
Qiao Qiao from the Northwest Theater Command advanced to the next round.
Among the four finalists from last year, three teams from three of them advanced to the next round.
The gap in strength between war zones still exists.
Cai Yu and Qin Ling were still no match for the martial arts prodigies from other war zones.
However, compared to previous years when the Northwest Theater Command's elite team came up to be just there to make up the numbers.
This year, the top talents in the Northwest Theater, or rather, Tianyun City, have all shown their prowess, maintaining a win rate of over 50%.
There was no embarrassing situation where it was difficult to win a single game.
Qiao Qiao has achieved a breakthrough from zero.
Inside the Qilin Gymnasium, the seven former principals were extremely nervous.
Cheng Yong, standing to the side, remained calm and collected, even cracking open several packets of sunflower seeds in his hand.
What's so special about the top 32? If we're lucky this year, it's entirely possible for two of the top four to be from Tianyun City.
......
The top 32 have been determined.
The nine top scorers and seven second-place scorers were divided into the upper bracket.
The runners-up from the Northwest Theater and the Northern Theater were assigned to the lower half of the bracket.
In previous years, anyone who faced the runners-up from these two war zones would almost certainly be guaranteed a spot in the top sixteen.
This is the lot everyone wants to draw.
This year, Gao Xi, Hao Zhiming, and the others all wanted to avoid running into Song Qinghuan and Lin Yan ahead of time.
Everyone understands the unique nature of Lin Yan's superpower.
Everyone still knows how powerful Song Qinghuan's supernatural abilities are.
Facing them head-on will inevitably result in a fierce battle.
The lottery process was tense and exciting.
Qiao Qiao met Yang Wenxian.
Song Qinghuan met Yao You.
Lin Yan... successfully drew Su Yu as she wished.
When he drew B8, his face turned pale instantly.
What I said last night was recorded by Fu You in its entirety.
After waking up and seeing this, he tried several times to go and explain things to Su Yu.
I've been reading too many novels lately that say "Don't underestimate a young man's potential"!
That's not what he really thought!
However, he didn't get the chance.
Seeing Su Yu's radiant smile across the room, Lin Yan felt a tightness in her chest.
