Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 283 Ranking
After the opening match, there is a stick of incense-like rest time.

After the rest, there will be a series of competitions.

The preliminaries only lasted for a short month, but there were as many as 124 teams participating.

Therefore, the qualifying schedule is quite tight.

The entire fighting arena has a central fighting arena and six regional fighting arenas, which can accommodate seven matches at the same time.

On the first day of the qualifiers, all participating teams must play a game.

The second team of Tiandou Royal Academy played the opening match against Shrek Academy, and there are 61 games left out of the 62 games today.

"Sixty-one matches, seven fighting spirit arenas are being held simultaneously, and it will take eight rounds to complete them all."

"Even if each round takes an average of ten minutes to complete, it will still take at least eighty minutes to complete. This is just the time for the fight. If we include other miscellaneous time, it will be even longer."

Lin Rong hesitated whether to continue staying in the fighting arena to watch the game.

In the end, he decided to stay and watch the game.

Among the remaining 122 teams in the preliminaries, there might be inheritors of gods who are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers like Tang San.

If there really is such a person, he can discover him immediately by staying here to watch the game.

If not, at most you will just waste one day of practice time, which is no big deal.

First day of qualifying.

From the opening match of the first game that started in the early morning until dusk, when the sun sank below the western mountains, there were still three games in progress in the Fighting Spirit Arena, one of which had just begun.

After watching the game for a long time, most of the spectators in the Fighting Spirit Arena lost interest in the game. It was only when there were only three games left that they could barely cheer up, but they still looked a little drowsy.

"Ah~"

With a yawn, Lin Rong propped up his head and looked at the game that had just started in the fighting arena with boredom.

Soon, all fourteen players from the two teams in that game showed their martial spirits and spirit rings.

"No, it's a waste of my time."

Looking at the mediocre soul power levels and soul ring ratios of the fourteen soul masters on the stage, Lin Rong's face was filled with unspeakable disappointment.

Of the 61 games after the opening game, the fastest one took nearly seven minutes to finish.

The slowest race lasted a full 68 minutes and 6 seconds.

In that match, the two teams were very close in strength, and there was no obvious restraint between the players' spirits. In addition, both teams had a spirit master with similar auxiliary abilities, which led to the astonishing match duration of 68 minutes and 6 seconds.

If the two teams in that match had not occupied the stage for such a long time, today's match would have ended by now.

In the entire qualifying team, there is only one divine heir, Tang San.

Lin Rong had no choice but to wait for the elimination round three months later to see how many gods' inheritances would be attracted by the generous soul bone rewards of this competition.

"If you stand out in the qualifiers, you will be exposed early. When you reach the knockout stage, you will be targeted by other inheritors of the gods."

"Thinking about it this way, only Tang San, who wanted to make the Tang Sect famous, would choose to expose his strength in the preliminaries."

...There are a total of 124 participating teams in the preliminaries, and each team needs to compete with the other 123 teams.

After the qualifying round is over, the top eight teams among all participating teams will get the final eight places in the knockout round.

The more wins a team has, the higher its ranking.

If the number of wins is the same, the number of draws will be compared, and the team with the higher number of draws will be ranked higher.

If the number of wins and ties is the same, the ranking will be determined by the win-loss record between the two teams.

If the record between two or more teams is a tie, and they are ranked in the top eight and need to compete for a place in the knockout round, an extra round will be required and the winner of the extra round will be ranked higher.

The competition goes on day by day.

Soon, more than half a month passed.

The situation in the qualifiers gradually became clearer with each game.

Tiandou Royal Academy's second team had Tang San, a Soul Sage-level warrior with extraordinary combat power. Not surprisingly, they ranked first in the qualifying team rankings with a perfect record.

In addition to the Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2, there are three other teams that ranked second, third, and fourth in the qualifying team rankings with only one loss.

The main players of these three teams are all from the Soul Sect, and some of them broke through the bottleneck of level 49 during the competition and became quasi-Soul Kings of level 50.

Because the forces behind them had already been prepared, those quasi-Soul Kings who broke through during the competition became real Soul Kings after absorbing the fifth soul rings prepared in advance.

The team configuration of one Soul King and six Soul Sects can be said to have swept all four sides in the preliminaries. The only defeat of these three teams was to the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy, and the only two draws were between the other two Soul King teams.

The three teams had the same number of losses and draws, so their rankings changed at any time with the end of each game, jumping back and forth between second and fourth place.

Although various changes have occurred in the world of soul masters today, resulting in a significant increase in the overall strength of young soul masters, it is obviously not something that ordinary forces can do to assemble a participating team with such a configuration.

This year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition does not limit the number of participating teams from each major force.

Therefore, after those big forces put together the strongest team, they thought that one more team would provide more security, and they put together two or even three or four teams to participate in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.

This is also the reason why a total of 28 teams were able to have at least one Soul King Soul Master before the start of the preliminaries.

The same is true for the three teams whose players broke through to the Soul King level during the preliminaries. They are Team 2 of Xingluo Royal Academy, Team 2 of Xingguan Sect, and Team 2 of Qibao Liuli Sect.

Since the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition was held, Xingluo Royal Academy has always been superior to Tiandou Royal Academy.

Before this competition, Tiandou Royal Academy seldom clashed with Xingluo Royal Academy (because they were eliminated early on, so they couldn't meet). The few times they clashed, they all ended in Tiandou Royal Academy's miserable defeat.

But this competition is different.

As teams of the same level, the Tiandou Royal Academy has six soul masters and one soul saint, while the Xingluo Royal Academy has six soul masters and one soul king.

The Six Soul Sect crushes the Six Soul Lords, but the One Soul Saint can crush the One Soul King of the Six Soul Sect.

It can be said that the Tiandou Empire finally got its moment of pride in this competition.

As for the strength of the teams from the two empires, both sides hid it very well and did not reveal a single detail to the outside world. The truth will only be revealed in the knockout rounds.
