People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 56 Slightly Better

After watching the first day of elimination matches, Chen Xiao felt nothing in his heart.

Only when I got a bye at the end did I chuckle and feel that I was lucky.

In the elimination round on the second day, including Chen Xiao, 201 people participated in the competition, with a total of 100 games.

After yesterday's round of eliminations, the quality of today's matches has obviously improved. One of the most tense matches took more than ten minutes to decide the winner.

Although in the eyes of the strong, it was still like a child playing house, but throughout the whole day, at least, it was rare for him to be killed in one move.

And Chen Xiao still failed to play today!

"The last one..."

"Xuanjie Class 9, Chen Xiao, bye!"

There was an uproar in the audience as they heard the referee's announcement.

One bye can be explained by luck, but getting byes consecutively can easily lead to speculation.

"Could this Chen Xiao be the offspring of some elder? Such luck is truly enviable."

"Hush, brother, don't be so sarcastic. I went back yesterday and made some inquiries. Guess what?"

"You love to talk but don't talk."

"Well, it's okay to tell you. According to what I heard, this Chen Xiao is a freshman who just enrolled this year. He's only twelve years old, but he's already a three-star Dou Ling. Do you still think there's something wrong with this draw?"

"what?"

Similar conversations were taking place in every corner of the square.

Soon, the group of students who had doubts about the draw results were relieved.

They guessed that the draw was most likely intentional by the college, but they had no objection and only supported it.

After all, it would be too bullying for a powerful Dou Ling to compete with these students whose strongest level is only that of a Grand Dou Master.

So, this little trick is well done!
In a sense, this is fair.

On the high platform, Vice President Hu Qian sat together with two senior elders from the outer courtyard and the head of the Alchemy Department. They had a panoramic view of the situation in the square, and their faces showed smiles like lottery directors.

"These little guys are still questioning me. If I wasn't worried about them being hit too hard, why would I resort to such a desperate measure? I even have to send someone to explain things to them."

"Yes, a twelve-year-old Douling. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes on the day of the entrance ceremony, I wouldn't have believed it."

"What surprised me most was that this guy was born and raised in the Northwest Continent."

"Unfortunately, he has the Ice attribute. The Inner Court is most helpful to those with the Fire attribute."

Just like that, Chen Xiao's name spread throughout the outer courtyard in a way he had never expected, and also aroused the expectations of many students.

Day three, third round of eliminations.

As expected, Chen Xiao was given a bye again!
At the same time, it was also on this day that the fifty-one places to enter the inner courtyard were preliminarily determined.

"Today's fifty victors, as well as Chen Xiao, who received a bye, please take the stage."

As the referee finished speaking, there was a rustling sound, and one by one, the students who won the three rounds of competition squeezed out of the crowd and jumped onto the stage.

Chen Xiao was also in the crowd. He nodded to Teacher Xiwen and immediately went on stage.

As soon as he stood on the stage, Chen Xiao noticed that the dense crowd below, the fifty people on the stage, and even the college leaders above were all looking at him.

Some were full of curiosity, some looked appreciative, and some female students even had their eyes shining...

At this moment, the twelve-year-old Chen Xiao finally experienced the feeling of being the center of attention!
It has to be said that this kind of feeling can easily make people feel elated. No wonder Xiao Yan developed such an outspoken personality before he became a 'waste'.

"Now, the fifty-one students who have qualified to enter the inner courtyard have come on stage. All the contestants in the past few days who feel they can defeat any of them may come on stage and challenge them."

As the referee finished speaking, a tall and thin young man who was unfortunately eliminated after fighting with his opponent for more than ten minutes in the second round jumped up immediately.

"Fei Kai from Xuan Rank 3 challenges Bian Lingfei from Huang Rank 9!"

Hearing the young man's words, the referee nodded slightly.

At his wave of the hand, Chen Xiao and the others stepped aside, leaving only the young man who was named in the middle with a bitter look on his face.

He only has the strength of a five-star fighter and is one of the weakest people on the field. The fact that he was able to pass the three rounds of eliminations was largely due to luck.

Unfortunately, under the academy's rules, all luck is in vain, and the true colors will inevitably be revealed during the challenge phase.

"No need to compete anymore. I admit defeat. I watched the entire match yesterday. You deserve a spot among the fifty-one available."

With a faint sigh, Bian Lingfei shook his head.

After saying that, he jumped off the stage. Seeing this, some people thought he was spineless and didn't even have the courage to fight another round, while others thought he was self-aware.

People's hearts are different and can never be unified.

The challenge continues.

During his free time, Chen Xiao also glanced at the people on the stage.

There are six people above the rank of Grand Fighter, excluding him.

One four-star, one three-star, three two-star, and one one-star.

The rest are all fighting masters above five stars.

So far, it can be seen that as long as there are no monsters that can challenge higher realms, the other four places in the top five should come from the six great fighters.

From Chen Xiao's observations over the past few days, among this group of geniuses, there are many who can transcend to smaller realms, but there are no monsters who ignore the larger realms.

The challenge lasted for about an hour before it ended. The people standing on the stage changed by six or seven, and there was no five-star fighter to occupy the spot.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one came up to challenge, the referee nodded slightly.

"It seems that the current fifty-one people are the most popular choice. Next, they will bring everyone a unique melee on the stage."

"Teams are not allowed in this fight, and it does not affect the number of people who can enter the inner courtyard. This is only to determine the top five. Anyone who falls to the ground or falls out of the ring will be considered a loser. This will continue until the last five people are left!"

After the announcement was made, a rare smile of gloating appeared on the serious referee's face.

Every year during the inner court trials, these elders and the higher-ups from the outer court loved this part the most.

The students in the audience also cheered and were also full of anticipation for this.

On the other hand, on the ring, the fifty-one people who had originally gathered together immediately distanced themselves from the people around them, looked around, and felt that there were enemies on all sides!
Among them, Chen Xiao's position was the most obvious. There was nothing within ten feet of him. No one wanted to be targeted by a Dou Ling expert from the very beginning.

Especially the six great fighters, they are the strong candidates competing for the top five. It would be too tragic if they were knocked off the stage by Chen Xiao.

Therefore, these six people were further away from him.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao burst out laughing.

He sometimes has a bit of a bad taste, but he is too lazy to do anything that does not benefit himself more.

Immediately, Chen Xiao shook his right hand lightly, and a beautiful ice-blue ice spear appeared, proving that he was undoubtedly a Dou Ling.

Then, Chen Xiao did not take the initiative to attack, but stood aside with a spear in his hand, like a big boss waiting for a challenger.

Noticing this scene, the other fifty people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, a huge melee broke out after an eight-star fighter was stabbed in the back.

"Fuck! You're already a master fighter, yet you still sneak attack me!"

"Brothers, let's take down these big fighters first!"

"The referee said no teaming allowed."

"Are we a team? This is called telepathy!"

A group of fighting students were plotting loudly, however, the six great fighting masters were faster and attacked at the same time. By the time the others reacted, more than ten people had been knocked off the stage.

The rest are undoubtedly scattered soldiers and are not a force to be reckoned with.

After less than ten minutes of elimination, all fighters were knocked off the ring without exception.

What follows is the battle between the six great fighting masters.

Almost 90% of the people thought that the one-star master would be the first to lose, but the result was surprising. This young man with an ordinary appearance, relying on a long stick in his hand, actually challenged two two-star masters in a row and became one of the five people left!

At this point, the top five of the qualifiers have been decided.

The quota was confirmed. Under Chen Xiao's gaze, the four people who were not familiar with each other looked at each other and made a decision in tacit understanding.

"Hehe, excuse me, there aren't many opportunities to fight a Douling master without any risk. We want to see the difference between a Douling and a Grand Doushi!"

The most burly young man, a four-star great fighting master, laughed foolishly and immediately led the attack towards Chen Xiao.

The other three followed closely behind.

Chen Xiao grinned, not taking it as an offense, and swept the ice spear in his hand out, bringing up a dazzling light.

With just one strike, the four people coming towards him were all sent flying backwards.

"Sorry, I'm slightly ahead, by a long shot."
