In fact, not only the first place has rich rewards, but in addition to the second place, the rewards for the rest of the rankings are also extremely rich.

The whole square was boiling instantly, and all the disciples looked excitedly at the inner sect elder.

Although the rules of this Inner Sect Competition have been changed, making it much more difficult than previous competitions, the rewards are enough to make anyone jealous.

After hearing the great elder's announcement of the rewards for the top 100 in this year's inner sect competition, Lin Chen also felt excited. If he gets these rewards, his strength will definitely be improved!

"Now, I announce that this year's inner sect competition has officially begun."

"Everyone come to the center of the square to group."

The great elder's voice was transmitted through the true essence, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing this, many disciples participating in the inner sect competition in the square immediately began to flock to the center of the square. At this moment, in the center of the square, more than a dozen grouping points had been temporarily set up.

"Lin Chen, let's go there too." Yuan Fei glanced towards the center of the square and whispered.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, and immediately, the two of them headed towards the center of the square.

There are nearly 30,000 participants in this Inner Sect Competition. According to the rules of this Inner Sect Competition, there are one group of 100 people, which means that there are nearly 300 groups in total.

In order to make the competition fair, every group of one hundred people has at least one and at most three peak Tiangang Realm disciples.

There is no doubt that these disciples who have reached the peak of Tiangang Realm are the seed players in each group and are the top 100 contenders in this year's Inner Sect Competition.

Not long after, Lin Chen and Yuan Fei each held a light blue token that was only half the size of a palm.

Yuan Fei looked at the token in his hand and said: "I am in the 98th group. Alas, I am not lucky. There are two seed players, Kaohsiung and Tan Feipeng. Lin Chen, which group are you in?"

"Group 268, seed player Wu Hang."

Lin Chen lowered his head and glanced at the token.

"Iron Hand Wu Hang? He was the 67th in the last Inner Sect Competition, and he is very likely to enter the top 20 in this Inner Sect Competition!" Yuan Fei's eyes flashed with surprise, "My group

Although there are two seed players, they are not among the top 100 in the last inner gate competition."

Wu Hang is talented and intelligent. During the last inner sect competition, he was already at the peak of Tiangang Realm. He broke into the top 100 with great strength. Now three years have passed, his strength has definitely improved a lot. He is the leader of this competition.

The inner gate competes with the top twenty competitors.

"There are ten promotion places, and he can only occupy one. I still have a good chance." Lin Chen smiled lightly, not worried at all. Wu Hang is very famous in the inner sect and is extremely powerful. He is the inner sect of this year.

Competing with the top twenty competitors, but now that Lin Chen has made a breakthrough in cultivation and has mastered the Demon Subduing Sword Art to the second form, he will not be afraid at all when facing Wu Hang.

Dong dong dong...

Yuan Fei nodded, and at this moment, three extremely dull bells sounded, the sound resounded throughout the world and shook the sky.

As these three bells rang, the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet again.

"Attention all disciples participating in the inner sect competition, now go to the arena according to your groups." The powerful voice of the great elder once again reached the ears of many disciples in the square.

In order to meet the needs of the inner gate competition, there are now a hundred huge arenas in the square that are one thousand meters long and one thousand meters wide. However, in the first round of knockout rounds, a total of nearly three hundred groups were divided. Under this, there are only the first hundred groups.

The knockout rounds will be held first, and as for the remaining 100 or so groups, they will have to wait until the knockout rounds of the first 100 groups are completed before continuing.

Lin Chen is in the 268th group, so his first round of knockout is the last. However, Yuan Fei is in the 98th group, which means that Yuan Fei's knockout will be held now.

"call"

Yuan Fei took a deep breath and looked excited. He nodded towards Lin Chen and immediately headed towards the 98th ring in the square.

Nearly 10,000 inner disciples walked slowly towards the arena. As these 10,000 people entered the arena, the square seemed much emptier. As for the participating disciples who were not assigned to the first 100 groups, they quickly walked to any building.

Under the ring, prepare to watch the game.

After all, the knockout matches in the early stages of this year's Inner Sect Competition were a melee situation. It had never been conducted like this before. These Inner Sect disciples have no experience at all, so watching more now will be of great help to them in the next knockout matches.

Lin Chen also walked quickly to one of the arenas, and immediately began to take stock of the situation of the 100 people in the arena.

The arena he is currently in is the thirty-sixth, which is the thirty-sixth group. At this moment, there are a hundred people standing sparsely on the arena, including three disciples at the peak of Tiangang Realm and more than thirty disciples at the late stage of Tiangang Realm.

The rest are all disciples in the middle and early stages of Tiangang Realm.

However, compared to the disciples who have cultivated in the early stage of Tiangang Realm, there are more disciples in the middle stage of Tiangang Realm.

After all, many of the disciples who have cultivated in the early stages of the Tiangang Realm have just entered the inner sect. These disciples have not been practicing in the inner sect for a long time. Naturally, their strength and cultivation cannot be compared with the veteran inner sect disciples.

Under this situation, even if they participate in the inner sect competition, they are basically at the bottom.

Of course, there are exceptions for some disciples with extraordinary talents and monster qualifications.

The hundreds of inner disciples on the stage looked at the others warily, not daring to be careless at all.

Boom~

At this moment, there was another dull, loud bell ringing. Almost at the same time, the hundreds of inner disciples standing on the ring moved instantly.

"The game begins!"

"The knockout rounds are held in a melee situation, which means that besides myself, the other 99 people are competitors. It's very fierce."

Under the ring, many disciples were talking in low voices, but most of them were staring at the inner disciples on the ring.

"Boy, get out of here."

"I also want to advance to the Tiangang realm at the early stage, so go ahead."

"Hmph, if you want me to go down, you're not qualified enough, Yunxiao Slash!"

"Wind ham..."

"Punch me!"

In an instant, the arena became chaotic. The sound of swords, knives, and fists resounded throughout the entire arena. Everyone displayed their martial arts skills and attacked those nearby.

Seeing this scene, the many watching disciples under the ring immediately widened their eyes and watched the melee among the many disciples on the ring carefully.

"Ah~"

"Damn, you were so careless!"

"Damn it, two people actually attacked me at the same time."

Not long after, some disciples were blasted out of the ring and fell out of the ring. Being blasted out of the ring meant that they lost the qualification to advance and were eliminated!

The faces of these disciples who were blown out of the ring were all ugly, and many of them had a look of unwillingness in their eyes.

In the melee of the knockout round, as long as no one kills people and uses despicable means, there are no other restrictions. In other words, in the melee, it is very likely that one versus two will happen.

This is the situation that disciples are most afraid of!

After all, two people are fighting against one person at the same time. Unless the latter's strength is too much higher than that of the former two, it will be difficult to defeat them. The only outcome is to be knocked off the ring and eliminated.

The melee in the ring continues.

It didn't take long, and there were only about thirty people left in the arena. Except for three disciples with peak cultivation levels of Tiangang Realm, the rest were at the lowest level of Tiangang Realm.

The battle situation was completely one-sided. Under the suppression of cultivation, a large number of disciples in the middle stage of Tiangang Realm were knocked away, and many of the disciples in the late stage of Tiangang Realm who were weaker in strength were also knocked off the ring.

And those three disciples who were at the peak of the Tiangang Realm were like gods of war, easily knocking away the disciples who came close to them.

The strength of warriors at the same level of cultivation is divided into three, six or nine, let alone those who are several realms beyond them? These three seed players, their cultivation is at the peak of Tiangang realm. This alone can stabilize the rest.

There are fewer and fewer disciples in the arena, and there is a lot of blood on the arena floor. Almost all of the remaining disciples are injured, even the three seeded players are no exception.

After this melee, most of the disciples in the arena had insufficient qi in their Dantians and their faces were extremely pale.

You must know that they can hold on until now, but after at least several battles, they defeated one person, and then they needed to defeat another person until they advanced, without any rest time in between.

"Ah~"

As the last disciple was kicked off the ring, there were only ten people left in the ring at this moment!

In addition to the three Tiangang Realm peak cultivation disciples, the other seven are five Tiangang Realm late stage disciples and two Tiangang Realm mid-stage disciples. Among these ten people, the two Tiangang Realm middle stage disciples can sustain themselves among dozens of disciples.

Afterwards, apart from some luck, their strength is also very good.

After all, there is no limit to this melee. In other words, it is possible that many of the disciples in the late stage of Tiangang Realm will be defeated by the three seed players and eliminated. In this case, the disciples in the middle stage of Tiangang Realm will have a high chance of advancing.

"The first round of knockout rounds is over. Disciples who have advanced, please come down to the ring." A Tianji Sect deacon standing on the edge of the ring announced the result.

"Phew, it's finally over."

"I advanced! Haha, I advanced!"

"It was so dangerous. If I hadn't used my special move, I might have been knocked off the stage just now."

Hearing this, the ten disciples on the ring all relaxed, but all of them had a look of joy on their faces. They were the last ten people in this group standing on the ring, which meant that they had successfully advanced.

!

Looking at the ten disciples who had successfully advanced to the inner sect on the stage, Lin Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Compared to the others, the three disciples who were at the peak of the Tiangang Realm among these ten people advanced almost easily, and it was obvious that they did not use all their strength!

"The seed players are so much stronger than the others." Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then his heart moved and he looked far away at the ring where Yuan Fei was.

On the other side of the square, Yuan Fei was standing on the ring with excitement on his face. Apart from him, there were only nine other people on the ring.

Yuan Fei successfully advanced.

Seeing this situation, Lin Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. Yuan Fei's strength is not weak, and he is stronger than most disciples of the same level. If he is lucky, he has great hope of advancing.
Chapter completed!
