Chapter 200 The third round of eliminations

There were nearly 300 groups in the first round of eliminations, and after the first round of eliminations, there were less than 300 groups left in the second round of eliminations, equivalent to more than 2,000 people. As for the third round of eliminations, there were only three groups left.

Lin Chen, Xue Lingyun and Ao Xin were very likely to be in the same group.

The three of them walked slowly and soon arrived at the center of the square. Along the way, many disciples saw Lin Chen and the other two walking together, and they all looked at Lin Chen with envy and jealousy.

There were several small, sealed boxes in the center of the square.

"This is a lottery box, and the lottery is absolutely fair." The deacon in charge of the lottery said, "Hurry up and draw lots, the third round of eliminations will start soon."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, reached into one of the lottery boxes, and then took his hand back, but there was an extra token in his hand.

This token not only marked the grouping, but also the sign of going to the ring.

Lin Chen looked down at the token, then looked up at Xue Lingyun and the others and said, "One group."

"One group? Lin Chen, let's see if we happen to be in the same group." Ao Xin said with a smile, casually reaching into one of the lottery boxes, and then reaching out again after a moment.

She looked at the token, shrugged and said, "I'm in group three."

Xue Lingyun smiled faintly, looked at Lin Chen, and also reached out her hand into the lottery box. Immediately, a black token appeared in Xue Lingyun's hand.

"I'm... group two." Xue Lingyun looked at the token and said with some regret.

Lin Chen is in group one, Xue Lingyun is in group two, and Ao Xin is in group three. There are three groups in the third round, but the three of them are in their own groups...

However, this draw is completely fair, and there is no fraud. Lin Chen and the other two did not draw the same group, which can only be said to be luck.

Shaking her head, Xue Lingyun whispered, "Lin Chen, Ao Xin, the third round of eliminations is more difficult than the first two rounds, so don't take it lightly."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded.

The disciples in the third round of eliminations are all very powerful and are the elites among the inner disciples. There are only ten places for promotion, so the competition will be very fierce. Even Lin Chen cannot be careless.

At the same time, at the left edge of the inner square.

Several peak Tiangang Realm disciples are gathering here at this moment. Each of them has a very strong aura, especially the leader. The aura he exudes completely suppresses the other peak Tiangang Realm disciples behind him.

It is Hong Qi!

Hong Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Chen, Xue Lingyun and Ao Xin, who were in the center of the square, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Long before Xue Lingyun became the inspector, Hong Qi was Xue Lingyun's pursuer. However, after several years, he only knew Xue Lingyun, but he could not take the relationship further. At this moment, Hong Qi saw Lin Chen, Xue Lingyun and Ao Xin chatting and laughing together, and he couldn't help but feel jealous. Looking at Lin Chen, there was also a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Lin Chen, I hope I don't meet you in the third round of elimination." Hong Qi thought to himself. Before the inner door competition began, Hong Qi had fought with Lin Chen. The latter was quite strong, but even so, Hong Qi had full confidence that he could defeat Lin Chen.

However, the inner door competition had not started at that time. Although Hong Qi was confident that he could defeat Lin Chen, the latter's strength was also good. If he wanted to defeat Lin Chen, he would inevitably expose his strong strength, which was very disadvantageous to his inner door competition. So before the inner door competition, Hong Qi did not defeat Lin Chen, but just tied.

While Hong Qi was thinking, an inner door disciple in the late Tiangang realm came to him and whispered: "Brother Hong, Lin Chen was assigned to the first group by the draw just now."

"The first group? What a pity, I am in the second group, but it doesn't matter. If Lin Chen enters the ring competition, he may meet me. If he fails to advance... This kind of qualification is not to be feared." Hong Qi's face showed a calm expression and said with a faint smile.

Hong Qi has excellent qualifications and talents. He is the top genius among the new disciples of the inner sect. He is known as the top three competitors in this inner sect competition. He is extraordinary in strength and has a high vision. He does not take ordinary disciples seriously.

If Lin Chen cannot even pass the third round of eliminations, then Hong Qi does not need to worry about Lin Chen.

…

"Attention all the advanced disciples. The third round of eliminations is about to begin. All the advanced disciples will enter the arena according to the group." On the rostrum of the square, the deep voice of the elder of the inner sect was transmitted to the ears of every disciple in the square.

The elder of the inner sect is an old man who looks to be in his sixties. He wears a purple robe and has a square face. Just standing there, he has a sense of majesty without anger.

In fact, many elders look this age, but in fact, their age is not as they appear on the surface. After all, the higher the martial arts cultivation, the longer the life span. The martial arts cultivation reaches the realm of true Taoism, and the life span is nearly two hundred years old. So these elders look to be in their sixties, but the actual age may reach more than one hundred years old.

As the voice of the Inner Gate Great Elder spread, the entire Inner Gate suddenly became a sensation.

"The third round of eliminations has begun."

"This round of eliminations is divided into three groups. The third group has only more than 60 people, but the number of disciples who advance from the third group is also much smaller."

"The first and second groups each have 40 places to advance, and the third group also has 20 places to advance. But the disciples participating in the third round of eliminations are all very strong..."

"If we advance through this round of knockout rounds, we will be among the top 100 in this year's inner sect competition!"

Many disciples looked excited and excited.

The rewards for the top 100 in the Inner Sect Competition are extremely rich, and they also have the authority to enter the library to redeem higher-level techniques and martial arts, which is extremely rare.

You must know that high-level exercises and martial arts are rarely exposed to the outside world except for sects. Some top-level Xuan-level exercises and martial arts are basically only possessed by large sects and powerful forces. Precisely because these skills and martial arts are extremely valuable, it is extremely difficult to possess them. Even sect disciples need permission and contribution points to redeem them.

At the edge of the inner gate square, Lin Chen, Xue Lingyun, and Ao Xin stood.

"Lin Chen, come on!" Xue Lingyun looked at Lin Chen with a smile. Since she returned to the sect, the smile on her face has become more numerous, and she no longer has the image of an ice beauty in the eyes of many inner sect disciples.

"come on."

Lin Chen smiled and responded to Xue Lingyun.

Ao Xin looked at Xue Lingyun, then at Lin Chen, and suddenly let out a chuckle and said with a smile: "Isn't it the third round of the knockout round? Don't you two look reluctant to leave. I'm looking forward to it now. If You met each other in the next arena match, what was the scene like? "

After hearing Ao Xin's words, Xue Lingyun's face turned red and she glared at Ao Xin with some annoyance.

Even though Lin Chen was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Haha, the third round of knockout is about to begin, let's go." Lin Chen smiled lightly, said something to Xue Lingyun and Ao Xin, and headed towards the first ring in a somewhat embarrassed shape.

Seeing Lin Chen looking like this, Xue Lingyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if a delicate rose was blooming, extremely gorgeous.

Looking at Xue Lingyun's appearance, some of the disciples around him who had been focusing on Xue Lingyun and the others were stunned. They all looked at Xue Lingyun with smiles on their faces as if they were stupid.

"What a beauty."

Many inner disciples sincerely praised him.

…

The first arena.

This year's inner gate competition is now in its third knockout round. In the third knockout round, there were only three groups in total. The first and second groups were both groups of 100 people, while the third group only had more than 60 people.

There are only three arenas in total.

Lin Chen is in the first group, so his third round of knockout is the first arena.

On the first arena, inner disciples came up one after another from the square, each of them looking extremely nervous. The quota for the first group of the third knockout round is 40 people, which means that out of 100 people, 60 people will be eliminated.

Lin Chen stood at the edge of the ring and glanced at the other disciples on the ring without changing his expression.

"Although there are forty places to advance to the third round of knockout, but..." Lin Chen glanced at the many participating disciples on the stage, "Among these hundred people, there are more than sixty disciples with peak Tiangang realm cultivation, and the rest are also Basically, those who have cultivated in the late Tiangang realm, there are less than ten disciples in the middle stage of Tiangang realm, and there are no disciples who have cultivated in the early stage of Tiangang realm.”

There is no doubt that the disciples participating in the third round of elimination are all elites.

In particular, most of the disciples who have reached the peak of Tiangang Realm are talented disciples who have served as inspectors, and even the disciples who have reached the late Tiangang Realm, there are many genius disciples with excellent talents.

Of course, the number of promotion places in the third round of knockout is 30 more than the previous two rounds, but the intensity of competition and difficulty of promotion are definitely several times greater than the previous two rounds of knockout.

"It's very difficult." Lin Chen looked at the other disciples on the stage.

Many of the other participating disciples on the stage also looked nervous, anxious, and looked at the other disciples warily.

Even those genius disciples who were at the peak of Tiangang Realm's cultivation still looked slightly nervous. Although they are the strongest among the many disciples in the inner sect, there are only forty places to advance to the third round of eliminations, and there are more than sixty disciples who are at the peak of the Tiangang Realm alone...

The number of promotion places is not directly proportional to the number of people. In other words, even disciples with peak Tiangang realm cultivation levels may lose their qualifications for promotion.

"Attention, disciples in the first ring, for the third round of knockout, there are forty people in the first group. Now...the third round of knockout begins!" The referee loudly announced at the edge of the ring.

"here we go!"

Under the ring, many of the watching disciples looked excited.

"Everyone, there are only forty places for promotion this time, and there are more than sixty of us disciples with peak Tiangang Realm cultivation levels. I suggest... to deal with those disciples with Tiangang Realm peak cultivation levels and below first." It was almost a referee. Just as the voice fell, a young man at the top of the Tiangang Realm standing at the lower right side of the ring suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, those disciples in the arena who were below the peak level of Tiangang Realm frowned. First deal with the disciples below the peak level of Tiangang Realm? If this is the case, then it will be very detrimental to the disciples below the peak cultivation level of Tiangang Realm.

Lin Chen also frowned slightly. If these disciples at the top of the Tiangang Realm all join forces, no matter how strong Lin Chen is, he will probably be kicked off the ring and lose the qualification to advance.
