174 Seed Players
Chapter 174
When Bai Qiaomo came to the competition venue again, he was watched by many people. Many cultivators were worried that Bai Qiaomo would still defend the ring like he did yesterday, so they were very wary of him.
But Bai Qiaomo was really honest that day. Not only did he not run to the edge of the ring, he also stayed in the stands, sitting with Feng Ming, and watched the fighting situation in each ring very honestly.
When many people were nervous, one person ran directly to Bai Qiaomo and asked very directly: "Friend Bai, will you go to the ring today?"
Bai Qiaomo raised his eyebrows. This was the first time in his life that Qin Jian appeared in front of him in this way.
Bai Qiaomo smiled and nodded at him: "So it's Fellow Daoist Qin. Whether or not you will go on stage depends on whether you have the opportunity."
Qin Jian understood. If no one plotted against Bai Qiaomo, he would leave the chance to win the ring to the last day.
Qin Jian nodded: "I understand. I hope to have a good fight with Fellow Daoist Bai on the ring in the final."
Bai Qiaomo smiled: "I also hope to have a fight with Fellow Daoist Qin."
"Okay."
Qin Jian laughed loudly and strode away.
The conversation between him and Bai Qiaomo also spread quickly, which made many forces feel relieved.
As long as no one provokes Bai Qiaomo like yesterday, I think today's ring battle will be much more normal.
Some disciples of the Royal Academy have made up their minds to keep an eye on the disciples of their own academy and not to provoke Bai Qiaomo for no reason.
Yesterday's lesson was severe enough, and the Royal Academy should not continue to be a laughing stock.
If someone is really watching Gong Liquan's group and the forces behind them, they will be warned not to cause trouble again.
Gong Liquan was furious. He didn't get any benefit from yesterday, but got himself into trouble.
He didn't expect that today's situation would be even worse, and he couldn't even go to the competition venue.
He was so angry that he called Xiong Kui a waste. He didn't think that Bai Qiaomo, who was fighting Xiong Kui, was still at his peak strength.
But even so, Xiong Kui not only failed to deal with Bai Qiaomo, but also got injured and was picked off the stage.
The waste has reached the extreme. Such a good opportunity has slipped away from his hands. It is impossible to create such an opportunity again.
Even the odds of Bai Qiaomo winning the championship have increased. They have done so many things, not only did they not achieve their goals, but they also provided support to Bai Qiaomo.
Gong Liquan was like a trapped beast, turning around in a cage, and finally said fiercely: "Bai, wait and see, if I don't kill you, I will not be Gong anymore."
Geniuses are nothing in their eyes. Geniuses like Zong Yupao make them jealous. Even ordinary geniuses like Bai Qiaomo have been wasted in their hands.
For the humiliation yesterday, he must make Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming pay back a hundredfold.
***
The morning passed, and Bai Qiaomo had no intention of participating in the ring battle, which made the battles on the twenty rings more intense. Today's ring battle was much more intense than yesterday's competition.
Everyone has six opportunities to challenge on the ring. Players who have no hope of winning the ring should make full use of these six opportunities to train their fighting power in the ring.
Today, there was a cultivator who had just finished a ring battle, and his aura fluctuated violently.
The referee immediately took him away from the ring and threw him into a formation. The formation isolated the movement of the outside world, and the cultivator broke through in the formation and advanced a small level.
Such promotions stimulated the cultivators to devote themselves to the ring battles. Although there was no ring like the No. 3 ring yesterday that attracted the attention of most cultivators, today, each ring received a lot of attention. The
disciples of Sihong Academy also took turns to fight in the ring. After the battle, Pei Yingmin, Jiang Qian and others would give on-site guidance, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses, and looking forward to their improvement in the next ring battle. The
ring battle in the morning was intense enough, and the ring battle in the afternoon was even more intense.
The more time passed, the more tense the situation became, because whether they could successfully defend the ring and win the 20 champions' places today to enter the final circle depended on this last critical moment.
Pei Yingmin also asked all the disciples who wanted to enter the finals to compete for the position of the champion today.
Tomorrow, that would be the time for seed players like Bai Qiaomo and Zong Yupao to compete, and there would be no need to participate in the competition between them.
So whether or not you can enter the finals depends on today.
As the competition drew to a close, all the twenty arenas were filled with Yuanye Realm cultivators fighting, and even the Yuanye Early Stage cultivators could not be seen.
"Liefeng Sect, Qin Jian, come to challenge the champion."
"Qin Jian, Yuanye Late Stage cultivator."
As soon as Qin Jian came on stage, the audience was shocked. This was the first Yuanye Late Stage cultivator to come on stage today to compete for the position of the champion after Bai Qiaomo yesterday.
"Qin Jian, why are you on the stage today? Shouldn't you leave it until the last day?"
Qin Jian, who had already jumped onto the stage, said coolly to the cultivators who were shouting below: "Whether it's today or tomorrow, I will be the champion, so is there any difference?"
"Qin Jian, you won't learn from Bai Qiaomo and give the champion position to your own people in the end."
If Bai Qiaomo hadn't started that, Qin Jian would have wanted to say with a clear conscience, am I that kind of person?
Well, after watching Bai Qiaomo's fight yesterday, he admired this man very much, so he found reasons to justify the behaviors that he used to dislike, saying that Bai Qiaomo was doing it to fight back against the enemy.
Qin Jian said firmly: "Let them fight for it themselves. I won't give in."
"Okay, Qin Jian, I wish you success in defending the ring."
The challenged person was not happy at all. If Qin Jian succeeded in defending the ring, what about him? Isn't it true that no one is optimistic about him?
However, he could only throw himself into the battle depressedly to see if Qin Jian was really powerful.
The result was as most people thought. Qin Jian spent a quarter of an hour to knock his opponent off the stage and successfully won the ring. Then he entered the ring defense process.
Seeing Qin Jian's move, there were also seed players in the late Yuanye Realm who moved up tomorrow's ring-grabbing action to today.
For seed players, choosing which day to win the ring does not really make much difference, because if they can't win this ring, they can still win other rings.
Their goal is not to perform well in the competition, but to enter the finals, compete with other seeds and get a better ranking.
So generally speaking, seeded players will tacitly avoid each other during the challenge.
Even if they don't avoid each other, will the result be different? If they knock other seeded players off the stage, as long as the six chances are not used up, they can continue to compete for the title of champion and defend the ring to the end.
If there is only one chance to challenge, seeded players will worry about someone sabotaging it.
Bai Qiaomo also saw this situation, so he didn't worry about not being able to enter the finals.
Unless, like on the first day, a force would not hesitate to use seeded players to consume the fighting power of other players, and severely injure the opponent on the stage, causing the opponent to be unable to participate in the subsequent ring battles and enter the finals.
But after the first day, the intention of this action was too obvious. It is estimated that in such a situation, everyone would rather give up a challenge opportunity and not give others a chance to take advantage of it.
In a blink of an eye, the fierce defense battle of the second day came to an end. The referee quickly announced the results. The twenty champions who successfully defended the ring in the second round appeared.
There was also good news from Sihong Academy. Another disciple won one of the champions, excluding Bai Qiaomo, and the number of candidates entering the finals increased to six.
The disciples of the Royal Academy also won four of the champion positions. This result seems to be lower than expected.
I don’t know if Bai Qiaomo fought too hard yesterday and greatly hit the morale of the disciples of the Royal Academy, resulting in the disciples of the Royal Academy not showing a strong fighting spirit on the stage today.
After hearing this news, Gong Liquan and others were furious and cursed the Royal Academy disciples as waste. They let those cultivators outside ride on the heads of the Royal Academy disciples.
Bai Qiaomo did not make trouble today, and even the referees in the referee seat breathed a sigh of relief.
It can be seen that there was such a commotion yesterday. It is really not Bai Qiaomo's fault. Can't he fight back after being plotted against?
On the third day, everyone came to the competition venue again, talking and laughing. If there were no unexpected situations today, most of the last 20 places would belong to those seed players.
Someone provided a piece of information: "I just found out last night that the twelve bookmakers secretly changed the odds of Bai Qiaomo winning the championship to 5 to 1."
"That's right, from 20 to 1 to 5 to 1, it seems that they are getting more and more wary of Bai Qiaomo."
"That's right, before the ring battle, who would have thought that Bai Qiaomo, who is in the late stage of Yuanye Realm, could be so powerful. Now people outside are generally optimistic about his strength and think that he is qualified to compete for the third place in the martial arts competition."
"Does this mean that he is the number one among the contestants in the late stage of Yuanye Realm?"
"Does he still have the strength to compete with Zong Yupao and Wu Liyan?"
"It's hard to say. Anyway, I noticed that when Bai Qiaomo was fighting on the first day, Zong Yupao and Wu Liyan went to watch, and Zong Yupao watched until the end."
"Anyway, no matter what, Bai Qiaomo's strength is among the top ones, and he must be ranked in the top five."
On the morning of the third day, the fighting on each stage was still fierce. Everyone took turns to sit on the stage, and it was very lively.
When the afternoon time came, Zong Yupao and Wu Liyan no longer waited and jumped onto the stage at almost the same time.
When they saw the two of them on the stage, the players who had been standing on the stage immediately gave up and gave up the position of the stage champion.
There was no need to fight, and it would be useless if they fought.
After the two men came on stage, they all cast their eyes on Bai Qiaomo who was still sitting there. Judging from his posture, he seemed to want to continue sitting there.
Wu Liyan laughed: "Brother Bai, how long do you want to sit there? Why don't you come on stage together? You can also fight with us in advance."
Bai Qiaomo was embarrassed to continue sitting there after being called.
Feng Ming also said: "Brother Bai, hurry up and grab a stage to be the champion. Do you want me to pick one for you?"
Bai Qiaomo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, Brother Lao Ming is here."
