Chapter 195: Promotion

Frustrated!

Extremely frustrated!

From the beginning of the duel with Lin Chen, Wu Hang only attacked twice. The first time, he attacked with true qi, but Lin Chen used the ancient bronze body refining technique to fight him hard. The second time, he used the Tyrant Fist, but although it was powerful, he didn't even touch the corner of Lin Chen's clothes. When he used the third move, the second style of the Tyrant Fist, he was directly knocked off the ring by Lin Chen.

Lost the qualification to advance!

And you know, Wu Hang was the 67th in the last inner door competition, and he defeated countless disciples with his Tyrant Fist. Three years later, in this inner door competition, Wu Hang used the last inner door competition's ultimate move, the Tyrant Fist, at the beginning of the first round of eliminations. There is no doubt that Wu Hang must have more powerful martial arts.

Wu Hang is very sure of his strength. If he uses a trick, even if it is not a trick, as long as he attacks more powerfully and quickly, he can defeat Lin Chen!

However, these powerful martial arts that he has prepared for several years, he didn't even have the opportunity to use them. He was directly eliminated and lost the qualification to advance.

Unwilling to accept it! Extremely unwilling to accept it!

Wu Hang's eyes were blazing with fire, and a strong killing intent rose to the sky!

"How dare you! This is the elimination match of the inner sect competition. You are knocked off the stage, which means you are eliminated. If you disrupt the order of the competition again, don't blame the sect for being ruthless!"

Just when Wu Hang wanted to kill Lin Chen ruthlessly, the referee on the edge of the stage suddenly spoke coldly, but there was also a flash of surprise in the referee's eyes.

You should know that Wu Hang was in the top 100 of the last inner sect competition and was the seeded player of this group. Whether in terms of cultivation or strength, he should be the strongest in this group, but in the end he was defeated by a person with the cultivation of the middle stage of the Tiangang realm.

Hearing this, Wu Hang was stunned, his red eyes gradually dissipated, and the strong killing intent on his body slowly disappeared. This is the inner sect competition, the most grand competition of the Tianji Sect in recent years, which is related to the future of the Tianji Sect. Many elders of the Tianji Sect, the Tianji Sect Master, and the leaders of many other sects and forces in Yannan Territory are here.

If Wu Hang took the initiative to attack Lin Chen in front of many leaders of the forces and disrupted the order of the competition, there is no doubt that his consequences would be very, very serious!

But...

The inner gate competition is held only once every three years. Wu Hang lost the qualification to advance to the inner gate competition this time, so he would have to wait for the next inner gate competition in three years. However, Wu Hang is now over 20 years old. If he waits for another three years, then even if he wins the top 20 in the next inner gate competition, his potential is very limited.

Wu Hang's face suddenly became depressed, and his face was full of decadence.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I, I..." At this time, Wu Xin, with a pale face, came over from the side of the ring and said in panic.

It can be said that Wu Xin has a lot of responsibilities for Wu Hang's loss of qualification. If Wu Xin hadn't wanted to cheat and advance through Wu Hang, then Wu Hang would not have faced Lin Chen and lost the qualification to advance.

Wu Hang glanced at Wu Xin, turned around without saying a word, and walked towards the crowd decadently, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xin stood there at a loss, his face full of regret. But no matter how much he regretted, it was useless...

...

On the ring, the elimination round continued.

Up to now, there were only more than ten disciples on the ring. Among these ten disciples, except Lin Chen and a girl who were in the middle stage of Tiangang Realm, the rest were in the late stage of Tiangang Realm.

However, although Lin Chen's cultivation was lower than these people, no one dared to pay attention to Lin Chen.

"If he could beat Tieshou Wu Hang without any chance to fight back, who would dare to provoke him! What's more, there are ten places for promotion. Even if he takes one, there are still nine left." A disciple in the late stage of Tiangang Realm thought to himself, and cast his eyes on Lin Chen to the others.

Although Lin Chen did not show too strong strength in the fight with Wu Hang, or in other words, if Lin Chen fought with Wu Hang again, it might not be Lin Chen who won.

But what is indisputable is that Lin Chen did defeat Wu Hang, knocking him off the stage and disqualifying him from the next round. You should know that Wu Hang is at the peak of the Tiangang Realm and is the seeded player in this group. Even though Lin Chen did not show too much strength, these disciples subconsciously thought that Lin Chen was strong and did not dare to pay attention to him.

"Brother, there are still sixteen people on the stage and only ten places. You just go down."

"What a joke, why don't you go down? Why should I go down!"

"Stop talking nonsense and take my knife first!"

In an instant, the stage was in chaos again.

But no one dared to come around Lin Chen. Lin Chen just stood quietly at the edge of the stage, which formed a sharp contrast with the chaos in the center of the stage.

But even if Lin Chen did not take action at this moment, the referee would not judge that Lin Chen lost his qualification for promotion. After all, Lin Chen defeated Wu Hang, and this alone was enough for him to advance.

Looking at the chaos of more than ten disciples on the stage, Lin Chen couldn't help shaking his head and breathing a sigh of relief.

It must be said that the main reason why he was able to defeat Wu Hang so easily and knock him off the stage just now was that Wu Hang underestimated Lin Chen too much!

Even if Lin Chen did not use the Demon Subduing Sword Art or the Half-Step Sword Intention, he could still be on par with the average Tiangang Realm peak warrior. Although Wu Hang was stronger than the average Tiangang Realm peak warrior, he did not use his full strength just now...

"Fortunately, I didn't use all my strength. Otherwise, I would have spent a lot of time defeating Wu Hang." Lin Chen thought to himself.

Now that the inner sect competition has just begun, it is still the first round of eliminations. It is naturally impossible for Lin Chen to use his trump cards as soon as he makes a move. If this is the case, it will have a very negative impact on his subsequent games.

This is the so-called know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. Hiding one's own strength can have unexpected effects in battle.

Just as Lin Chen was thinking, the battle in the ring had entered its final stage.

"Ah! Damn it..."

"Asshole, you three team up to deal with me alone, what kind of skills do you have..."

Bang bang bang...

The sound of several bullets falling to the ground was heard, and several warriors were knocked off the ring.

As these disciples were kicked off the ring, there were finally only ten disciples left on the ring.

"The knockout round is over. The disciples who have advanced this time...Lin Chen, Wang Guangzheng, Wang Ze..."

Almost as soon as the battle on the ring was over, the referee standing on the edge of the ring loudly announced the result of the competition: "Now, all the disciples will get off the ring and go to the drawing of groups. The second round of elimination will begin in an hour."

Hearing this voice, Lin Chen walked slowly down the ring. As soon as he stepped off the ring, he heard Yuan Fei laughing loudly: "Lin Chen, that's awesome. He knocked down the iron-handed Wu Hang directly." Arena, now you are the object of admiration among many disciples."

Lin Chen smiled faintly and said: "It was just a fluke. If Wu Hang hadn't been too dismissive, he might not have lost."

Yuan Fei nodded in agreement and said: "Wu Hang is unlucky enough. He was ranked 67th in the last inner sect competition. He was so strong three years ago. Now three years have passed, his strength will probably decline." Stronger, but among the top twenty competitors in this year's inner sect competition, who would have thought that you would be directly defeated."

Lin Chen smiled.

Immediately, the two headed towards the grouping point in the center of the square. This inner-sect competition is divided into two types: knockout and group competition. Due to the number of participating disciples, the early elimination rounds were divided into three rounds. In the first round, 90% of the disciples would be eliminated, and after the second round, less than 300 disciples would remain.

At the end of the third round of eliminations, it's the arena match.

However, although the knockout rounds are divided into three rounds, all three rounds of knockout rounds can be completed on the first day, which is quite efficient.

After a moment, Lin Chen and Yuan Fei each held a wooden token in their hands.

"Group 17, there are seven seeded players. Lin Chen, which group are you in?" Yuan Fei glanced at the token and said with an ugly expression.

After the first round of knockout, the disciples in the second round of knockout are all relatively strong, and the number of seed players has also increased. The increase in the number of seed players means that the number of promotion places has decreased.

After all, the seed players are very powerful, each of them is at the peak of Tiangang Realm cultivation, and cannot be dealt with by ordinary inner disciples. If nothing else, they can all occupy a quota. In this case, for example, in the seventeenth group where Yuan Fei belongs, the seven seed players occupy seven promotion quotas, and the remaining participating disciples only can compete for the remaining three spots.

Of course, if someone has extraordinary strength and directly defeats the seeded players, the number of places will also increase.

But no matter what, each group only has ten promotion places!

Lin Chen lowered his head and glanced at the token in his hand, shook his head and said: "I am in the twenty-seventh group, with eight seeded players..."

"Eight seeded players? Ha, it seems I'm not too unlucky." Hearing this, Yuan Fei chuckled. Yuan Fei has good qualifications, but the time to enter the inner sect is still short. If he is given another three years, he will definitely be able to hit the top 100. But now, Yuan Fei is afraid that it will be difficult to pass the second round of knockout.

Yuan Fei knew this in his heart, but he couldn't give up directly. No matter what, he had to fight, otherwise he would be too unambitious!

"Okay, let's take a rest. Let's prepare for the second round of knockout matches." Lin Chen shook his head and leaned against a big tree with his eyes closed to rest.

In the first round of knockout, there are nearly 300 groups in total. After the first round of knockout, the number of people who have advanced can only form nearly 30 groups. In other words, in the second round of knockout, all the promoted disciples will be Race at the same time.

At the same time, an inconspicuous corner of the Inner Gate Square.

A disciple with a stern face stood quietly. He glanced at the token in his hand, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "The twenty-seventh group, eight seeded players?... There are only ten places, and these eight people will occupy them. Eight, then, I, Zhou Ping, want one of the other two places!”

As he said that, Zhou Ping closed his eyes slightly and rested, but even when he was resting and adjusting, he was still in a state of vigilance, and there were even faint lights on his legs.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the second round of eliminations was about to begin!
