"I see!"
After listening to Huang Yuanbai's introduction, Lin Fan crossed his arms and quickly calculated in his mind.
The first round was from 60 to 30, and the final round consisted of 6 rounds of competition.
Lin Fan looked up at the match list on the screen and continued to ponder.
There were no internal conflicts between sects in the previous draws, but as the number of participants decreases, internal conflicts are bound to occur.
In the round of 15 to 8, and even in the round of 30 to 15, the Renou Sect would have internal conflicts, eliminating several members.
The key now is to see how many people Renwangzong can lose through internal strife.
If Renwang Sect eliminates more members in the second round, Huayun Sect will still have a chance to win.
Lin Fan glanced at the Hua Yun Sect disciples around him who were eager to fight, and sighed helplessly.
If these guys weren't so bad, would it have been so difficult to even play a game?
Fortunately, Huang Yuanbai and Mu Ying were brought along. These two are quite capable and can still hold their own for now.
As Lin Fan predicted, Mu Ying and Huang Yuanbai easily won the first round of the competition, and Ren Wangzong won all the matches and temporarily took a 10-point lead.
Two members of the Tianlan Sect lost to the Chiyan Sect, and one member lost to the Renwang Sect. They have seven members remaining, with a total of 7 points, placing them in second place.
Four members of the Crimson Flame Sect lost to the Benevolent King Sect, leaving six members with 6 points, placing them in third place.
Sun Tianqiang of Huayun Sect was eliminated, and three others lost to Renwang Sect, leaving six people with 6 points, tied with Chiyan Sect.
With this round concluded, only one martial artist from the minor sect remained, while 29 martial artists from the four major sects were still left.
After the first round of matches ended, it was already 6 p.m.
As the audience gradually left, the contestants also went back to rest and regroup.
The second round of competition will take place at 10:00 AM tomorrow on the same stage.
After the event, Lin Fan, Su Ruowei, and Gu Xinyan went out for a light meal together, and the table was unusually quiet.
Even Gu Xinyan, who always loves excitement, didn't mention today's match.
After dinner, Lin Fan and his wife first took Gu Xinyan home, and then returned to the Lingjueding Villa.
It was already 8 p.m. when I got home.
As soon as Su Ruowei entered the bedroom, she collapsed onto the bed and buried her head in the blankets.
Lin Fan walked over and sat down next to Su Ruowei, patting her shoulder: "What's wrong, Ruowei?"
Su Ruowei shrugged her shoulders and flailed her body on the bed.
Lin Fan was taken aback, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Suddenly, Su Ruowei sat up, supporting herself, and stared at Lin Fan with her big, watery eyes:
"Honey, I feel like the investment in Huayun Sect is going to go down the drain."
After saying that, she pouted and then collapsed into the blankets.
Just as Lin Fan was about to offer some words of comfort, Su Ruowei suddenly sat up again: "How is the Renwang Sect so powerful!"
"All ten of them defeated their opponents within five minutes, especially Tianyi, who knocked out his opponent in less than four minutes!"
Lin Fan pursed his lips, wanting to say, "Five minutes is considered a kill?" But he kept his words to himself.
Lin Fan thought for a few seconds before speaking:
"The points difference after the first round is negligible; the second round is when things truly begin."
"Moreover, there will definitely be an internal battle in the second round of Renwang Sect. It would be interesting if all ten of them were drawn into the internal battle."
Of course, things couldn't possibly be such a coincidence; these were just words Lin Fan used to comfort Su Ruowei.
"Really?!"
Su Ruowei suddenly perked up, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
While pounding her left palm with her right fist, she said thoughtfully, "Honey, you're right. The main event is just around the corner!"
"There are still 30 people left, and Renwangzong makes up a third of them. The chances of them fighting each other are very high!"
Lin Fan placed his hand on Su Ruowei's head and smiled, "Don't think so much, get some rest."
······
The next day at 9:30, at the sect arena.
The number of spectators was one-third more than yesterday.
In previous years, martial arts enthusiasts in Shancheng City could debate who would win the championship, with some saying Lingfeng Sect would win, others saying Huayun Sect would win, or even Tianlan Sect would win.
Each side has its own reasons, creating plenty of suspense.
With the participation of Niōshō, this year's competition became a foregone conclusion, with almost everyone betting on Niōshō to win.
As expected, all the Renwangzong contestants advanced after the first day of competition with overwhelming dominance.
Therefore, the number of viewers in the first round was significantly less than in previous years.
But the second round is different. The likely occurrence of an internal conflict within the Renou Sect has piqued the audience's interest.
The duel between top experts is thrilling and has even led to countless people setting up betting odds in private.
······
Waiting hall.
The martial arts practitioners gathered here again, looking at a screen, waiting for the lottery results to be announced.
Yesterday, the woman in the cheongsam came to the waiting room again, pointed to the screen and said, "All experts, please look at the screen, the draw results will be announced soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen began to scroll, and in no time, the lottery results were generated.
This time, even the contestants from Renwangzong couldn't sit still and stared intently at the screen.
The woman in the cheongsam slowly spoke: "The winner of the second round will advance to the third round and add 2 points to their sect, while the loser will be eliminated directly."
She then glanced around at everyone: "Whoever wants to abstain can do so now."
After he finished speaking, five people looked hesitant, but did not indicate that they would abstain.
The five people were Dong Tianjiao, another disciple of the Crimson Flame Sect, and three disciples of the Heavenly Tranquility Sect.
They were matched against a Renwangzong player, and as a result, they were eliminated.
However, as a disciple of a major sect, one cannot lose one's pride. Defeat is one thing, but defeat without a fight is another.
Di Xiaoyun was lucky; she drew the only protégé of a minor sect, which was a bonus.
Of the remaining three members of the Tianlan Sect, two drew the tattooed arm and one-eyed disciple from the Chiyan Sect, while the third drew a disciple from the Huayun Sect.
The remaining two members of the Crimson Flame Sect drew Mu Ying and Huang Yuanbai, and judging from their appearance, they should not be a match for Mu and Huang.
In addition, the four members of Renwang Sect engaged in internal battles in pairs, while an internal battle also occurred in Huayun Sect.
The last Huayun Sect disciple was Lin Fan, who drew the top ten from the Renwang Sect.
Upon hearing this result, Su Ruowei, who was watching the big screen in the audience, felt a chill in her heart.
Before the competition even started, Lin Fan used his Heavenly Eye to observe everyone, and he already knew the outcome of the second round.
The internal battle of Renwang Sect will eliminate two people, and he will defeat one of them, leaving 7 people who can get 14 points. Adding the 10 points from the first round, that's 24 points.
On the Huayun Sect's side, Lin Fan, Mu Ying, and Huang Yuanbai can all win, and another disciple can easily defeat the Tianlan Sect disciple. In addition, there is an internal battle that can leave one person behind.
In total, Huayun Sect can retain 5 people and get 10 points, plus the 6 points from the first round, for a total of 16 points.
The Tianlan Sect and the Chiyan Sect had extremely bad luck in the second round, becoming unfortunate brothers.
Of the seven remaining members of the Tianlan Sect, only Di Xiaoyun was able to advance, earning her 2 points. Combined with the 7 points from the previous round, she now has a total of 9 points.
Of the six remaining members of the Crimson Flame Sect, only the two with the flower-armed arm and the one-eyed man were able to continue, earning 4 points. Adding the 6 points from the previous round, they only had 10 points left.
