Arad's Sword

Chapter 376 Ranking Competition
Although the famous saying of Baiyan Cave is "everything is determined by competition", after all, it is inevitable that some people will want to do some small tricks outside of competition.

However, Midi is naturally not so naive as to really think that this is a place where rules are respected.

In the final analysis, this is still a place of strength.

Then what you have to do is very simple, show your strength, even outside the arena.

Seeing Midi walking out with a calm face, the dark elf ghost swordsman nicknamed "Blood Hand" revealed a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

"Human, I have heard that you are very close to the fugitive Zaknafein?" The bloody hand said carelessly, and deliberately glanced at Zaknafein, "Believe me, you will die very quickly if you do this." awful."

"You think I was scared?" Midi smiled.

On the side, the sorcerer known as "Ice Hand" also narrowed his eyes: "Listen, human, if you want to challenge us, then in tomorrow's competition, you will first be challenged in a series! This is a points match, Not knockouts, you're going to play a lot of games before we meet, and I can guarantee that most of them will be tough."

Accompanied by this warning-like words, many slave fighters onlookers shouted in response.

And only a small number of slave fighters—most of whom went to see Midi's selection with Zach Nafein—booed.

Looking at this scene, Midi immediately had a more thorough understanding of the situation in the White Rock Cave.

Obviously, here, each of the top fighters is accumulating their own power, perhaps through benefits, or other promises, or even transitional contribution points.

And because Zaknafein came late and received few contribution points, the people who supported him were obviously much less than those who supported "Blood Hand" and "Ice Hand".

In this case, he was able to rush to the third place, obviously not easy.

And the reason why they lowered their stance and rushed to find Midi, a strong newcomer, to form a team is also a matter of course.

However, the intimidation from the bloody hand and the ice hand had no more effect on Midi.

In fact, at this moment, after experiencing a tough battle with the Lizardman, Midi has indeed changed some styles.

It is no longer to calculate everything to the extreme and then choose the optimal route, but to open up a way more head-to-head.

Because there are always some things that cannot be calculated.

Like death warrants.

If you can't even deal with the current attrition war, how will you deal with the terrifying pursuit from the demon world in the future?

It can even be said that for Midi, who has just mastered the "environmental sensing" psionic power, he is looking forward to a large group of people who can become his whetstones, so that he can hone this "environmental sensing" in actual combat. Applications.

"With these things, do you think you can stop me?" Midi looked at the crowd with a sneer, and made a provocative gesture.

In an instant, those violent slave fighters immediately boiled.

If it weren't for the long-term habits that restricted them, maybe there were a few simple-minded people who wanted to rush up and attack on the spot.

But fortunately, although they were angry, they still maintained their rationality, so naturally they would not take action easily at this time.

Otherwise, if one is hit by a powerful lightning bolt, tomorrow's ranking will definitely plummet.

But although you can't move your hands, you must move your mouth.

All of a sudden, all kinds of yelling and cursing that Midi could understand but not understand filled the Baiyan Cave.

However, the next moment, the place suddenly became silent.

The slave fighters were still yelling and cursing desperately, but they suddenly realized that after shouting for a long time, no sound came out!

The pair of Bloody Hand and Ice Hand showed shock at the same time, and put on a defensive posture.

what have you done!
They wanted to question Midi in this way, but when they opened their mouths, they were horrified to find that their own voices also disappeared.

And under the feet of these people, a huge translucent ghost formation is quietly operating.

Devil May Cry Skill, Sound Devouring Array!
After this ghost array was invented, it was originally used to silence a large area to prevent mages from casting spells.

Unfortunately, the casting distance of mages is far greater than that of ghost swordsmen, so most of the time, when the sound bite array is used, the battle is almost decided.

Even if occasionally a ghost swordsman gets an excellent opportunity to put a mage on it, and casts the sound bite array, but the opponent still has a lot of silent skills that don't require chanting mantras.

One of them is teleportation.

As long as the mage has a thought and moves out of the range of the sound bite array, everything will become the same again.

Therefore, this sound-eating array is a skill that everyone knows the principle, but few people actually use it.

But at this moment, it has come in handy.

As Midi expected, although this is a skill, but because it does not have any ability to harm the target, the magic circle in the White Rock Cave was not activated, and the lightning bolt did not shoot out.

This means that he can use the sound bite array unscrupulously to block all verbal violence.

In other words, he can force others to shut up in this area where only the mouth can tell the winner.

Not only that, he can even make his own voice the only voice here.

Just as the underworld flame formation will not burn the ghost swordsman himself, the sound-devouring formation will also not swallow Midi's voice, as long as he is willing.

"Stop playing such silly tricks here." Midi finally said, "Since you want to play a war of attrition, then I will play with you. However, you'd better be prepared to sacrifice your life. "

His voice was as calm as ever, but there was a taste of iron and blood that could not be ignored, as if he was whipping something with a steel whip.

With the method of the sound bite array and Midi's peaceful death announcement, many slave fighters have indeed woken up from the initial ridicule, and began to weigh whether it is better to sell favors to cold hands or blood hands. Is it appropriate, or is your own safety a priority?
"Don't waste your saliva there, let's use our swords to speak in the arena tomorrow." Midi glanced coldly at the pair of dark elf partners, turned and returned to her room without looking back, and then heavily closed the door.

The next day, the ranking competition started under such a gunpowder-filled situation.

The competition system is very simple, points system.

There were more than 40 of these high-level slave fighters, 45 to be precise.

Because of this, the members of the Tarantula Tribe divided them into five teams, each with nine members.

Everyone in this team has to fight against the other eight people for a total of eight rounds, and the five people with the highest points in the end will be able to qualify for the mission.

As for the scoring algorithm, it is also very simple, the winner gets one point, and the loser deducts one point.

This means that the gap between victory and defeat will be even greater.

Once you lose one game, you have to win two games to get just one point.

And at this time, the person who won three games in a row has already scored three points, and the gap between them is a full two points.

Obviously, this competition system encourages victories, but punishes failures more severely.

According to Zaknafein, in this points race, it is best to win all eight rounds.

When there is a situation where the points are the same—for example, the strongest of the five teams has scored eight points, then the final will be held, and there will be another points match between these five people.

In most cases, the top five must be determined by the finals, and that is the real key.

And if they lose even one of the eight rounds of the preliminary round, it will bring a huge gap in the score, and thus they will not be qualified to enter the final at all.

After all the teams had been allocated, Midi glanced around, only to realize that the allocation of teams was also particular.

Last week's top five were broken up and placed in five different teams, which is equivalent to the identity of the defending champion.

Not only that, but the strength of the slave fighters in each team is roughly the same.For example, if No.6 is placed in the first team, then No.7 must be placed in the second team, and they will be staggered from each other.

This is also to allow truly capable people to stand out, instead of being consumed in advance in the death group. In the end, the people with the highest points are those in the teams with lower levels.

It can be said that this ranking match is a fairly fair match, and the Tarantula tribe obviously spent a lot of thought on it, just to use the new blood to enrich their own strength.

It may be luck, but it may also be human factors, or it may be misfortune. In short, as a rookie, Midi, who is ranked at the bottom, is not in the same group as Zaknafein.

On the contrary, he was in the team of the dark elf mage "Ice Hand". Not only that, but most of the people in this team were the same people who shouted at Midi yesterday.

Midi roughly estimated that there were at least four slave fighters, who could be regarded as ice hands, and the positions of the rest were unknown, but they must not be taken lightly.

And at this moment, Midi finally saw the rumored No.1 and No.2.

Due to the long-term mission, these two people are rarely seen in the White Rock Cave. Most of the time, they only appear at the beginning of the ranking competition.

Those were two male dark elf roaming gunners.

This configuration easily reminds Midi of the two sisters in the Falcon Group who are also partners - "Double Sparks" Odell, and "Double Butterfly Guns" Irene.

What made Midi even more emotional was that among the two wandering gunmen in front of him, one of them was an old acquaintance of himself and the pair of sisters!
