Chapter 521 No Way to Avoid
"Of course, the rules of the martial arts competition are very simple, that is, challenge the team currently ranked first. As long as you beat the team ranked first, you can naturally become the first team. Each team has one challenge opportunity. Do you understand?"
After the old man's words, everyone was surprised again. Obviously, the Wuliang Realm Challenge only produces a team ranked first temporarily, but this temporarily ranked first team is not easy. They obviously have to accept challenges from other teams in turn. In other words, the Tianshui Fairyland team will face challenges from other teams next. Once defeated, it will lose directly and lose its ranking directly.
"But you can choose not to participate in this challenge, because as long as the team is not ranked first, you can choose not to participate, and then maintain the current ranking, but if you participate and are defeated, you will lose your team ranking."
The old man continued to speak, and as soon as he said this, everyone immediately realized that the martial arts competition seemed not simple. Imagine if they challenged the first team, they would lose their ranking directly after failure, and even if they won, they would have to accept challenges from the other 19 teams next. Who dares to guarantee a 100% win?
Therefore, the old man said that this is a choice. For example, Zhou Yiyan's team is ranked second now, so they can choose not to participate in the challenge, and they can still keep the second place. If they participate, even if they defeat the Tianshui Wonderland team, they will have to face the other 18 teams' wheel-turning cars. Once they fail, the first place ranking will be lost, and even the second place ranking will be lost, and they will lose the ranking directly.
"Of course, this is a team ranking battle. We will compete for the team ranking first, and then compete for the individual ranking..."
The old man continued to say that it was obvious that the Wuliangshan competition was not as simple as imagined. There were layers of tests, and the first one was the test represented by the team. However, some people would still be a little unconvinced, such as Lu Yuanba, Lu Xiaolou, and even Zhou Yiyan and others. They are likely to be dragged down by the team, so they can completely participate in the individual competition.
So how is the individual challenge challenged? In fact, it is very simple. After the team ranked first appears, everyone can choose anyone in this team to challenge. As long as you beat one of them, you can enter the first-ranked team, followed by the second-ranked team, the third-ranked team... and so on. Everyone has the opportunity to participate.
At this time, everyone was a little shocked again. Obviously, it is not necessarily stable for their team to get the top three. The individual must be strong enough. In this case, why not just enter the individual challenge directly? Wouldn't that be better? More direct and simple?
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is not the case. Starting from the training in Wuliang Mountain, it starts with a literary fight and then a martial arts fight. The whole process is to show the strength of the team, and at the same time, it also allows everyone to understand each other's strength, so that a truly suitable and more advantageous team can be selected.
In addition, the old man also added that the strongest person in the team is qualified to choose teammates. This qualification is of course not just a verbal statement, but even if some people enter the first-place team, if the strongest person in the first-place team does not want this person to come in, he can still kick him out.
This statement shocked everyone. Obviously, this martial arts competition is not that simple. Whether it is a team fight or an individual fight, there are risks, because whether it is a team challenge or an individual challenge, you have to pay a corresponding price. If you fail in the team challenge, you will lose your ranking. After losing your ranking, you can participate in the individual challenge, but once you fail, you will lose the qualification to enter the team. In short, there are gains and losses, and there are still some tricks in it. It is not as simple as it seems, because it involves wheeled vehicles and tolerance.
For example, in the battle for the first place of the team, even if they win, they will have to accept continuous challenges from other teams, which is not easy. At this time, everyone in the first-ranked team must accept continuous challenges, and the power of Taoism will inevitably be weakened. Then others can continue to challenge with individual ranking battles, and they may be directly defeated and eliminated. Therefore, there are also great variables here, and a little carelessness can be said to be a complete loss.
Therefore, the previous series of tests are also valuable. For example, Zhou Yiyan's team can not participate in the team ranking challenge, so they can preserve their strength, and then wait for other teams to finish the competition and fight to exhaustion, and then they will defeat anyone in the first-ranked team in one fell swoop, and then they can win the team member quota, but it may not be a sure win after winning, and they have to accept the challenges of other team members in the team, that is, the so-called challenge of the strongest team member. Once defeated, they will still lose the ranking.
Losing the ranking means that the entire Wuliang Mountain experience has failed, and the entire Wuliang Mountain experience has been wasted. This price is extremely high. Of course, if you win, then what you get must be the best. Therefore, this challenge is not that simple. In the final analysis, it depends on how the team and individuals weigh the pros and cons, how to balance combat power, or how to preserve strength.
Therefore, after the old man said these words, everyone began to think about it, and the teams began to discuss their own formations. This matter must be of great importance. Any wrong decision is likely to be a waste of all previous efforts, except for Tianshui Wonderland. The team has nothing to discuss, because they must accept challenges from other teams, which is inevitable. This makes Shi Wuyin and others look quite ugly, but they seem to have thought that there is still an individual competition to challenge, so It's relatively better, at least there is still a chance.
Obviously, no one thinks that the Tianshui Wonderland team deserves its first ranking. On the contrary, almost everyone ignores the existence of the Tianshui Wonderland team, and the members of the Tianshui Wonderland team do not have much confidence. Of course, except for Zhu Qianrou and Zhang Zhiwen, Others thought so, and they all began to think about the personal challenge. At this time, the situation represented by the Wonderland team basically began to be destroyed. Understood, and it is obvious that the ultimate goal of the Wuliang Mountain experience is to select the strongest person in the Little Immortal Realm, rather than using the Fairyland team as the representative. This seems reasonable and reasonable. Only the strongest person in the Little Immortal Realm is selected, and then the strongest Only a team composed of monks is qualified to participate in the challenge of Wujie Mountain. There are three places for this team, which means that the top three teams in the Little Immortal Realm must be composed of the strongest monks in the Little Immortal Realm.
Then everyone will naturally start to make various calculations. The pros and cons must be carefully weighed here. Zhou Yiyan's team already has the answer. They don't seem to be planning to participate in the first round of the team ranking battle. Not only Zhou Yiyan's team, but also Shangguanfeng's team did not participate, Lin Haoran's team did not participate, and even Qin Ruxuan's team did not participate.
They have decided to preserve their strength. They are preparing for the battle for individual rankings. Whether it is Zhou Yan, Shangguan Feng or others, they are the strongest in the team, and their decisions naturally represent the will of the team. , as for the rest of the team, are there any options? Naturally, there is no choice.
Looking at it now, except for Tianshui Wonderland, the top five teams that have to accept the challenge, the other four teams have all chosen to give up the competition for team rankings. What is even more surprising is that the other teams in the top ten have also given up. In the battle for ranking, they obviously want to preserve their strength and participate in the battle for personal ranking.
"The competition for individual rankings is all conducted by drawing lots. Everyone, have you really thought it through?" The old man saw that the top ten teams actually gave up the team ranking challenge and chose to temporarily retain their strength. He had to come out to remind them.
This reminder surprised everyone. Obviously, the old man did not finish what he said at once, but had to say half of it. However, this statement did not attract much attention from everyone. In other words, the competition for personal rankings depends on luck. Yes, if you draw a strong opponent, you will consider yourself unlucky. If you draw a weak opponent, it will naturally be an unexpected surprise.
After Zhou Yan and others thought about it for a while, they decided to give up the battle for team ranking. At least they could keep the top two team rankings and preserve their strength. As for the drawing of lots, it is simple. Anyway, Zhou Yan personally thinks that whether it is the draw No matter who he plays, he has a high probability of winning. As long as he wins first place, then he can have a say in the first team, and then he can choose his teammates, and his teammates will naturally support his approach.
Zhou Yiyan thought so, and others actually thought so too. Furthermore, the battle for personal ranking is also a war of attrition, and the battle for personal ranking must also be conducted in the form of drawing lots. Sure enough, the old man added this point, saying After the team ranking battle ends, the personal ranking battle will begin immediately, and the monks participating in the personal ranking battle will have to participate in the drawing of lots and take turns fighting against the members of the first-ranked team, so it is necessary to preserve their strength. of.
In this way, only the teams that are not ranked in the top ten will try to compete. The top ten teams have given up the battle for team ranking. They want to retain their strength, and the teams that cannot be ranked in the top ten, they Naturally, I entered the competition for team rankings with a sense of luck. Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse. Doctor, they also know that there are not many opportunities, but the competition is not very fierce now. At least in their opinion, they still have a chance to defeat the Tianshui Wonderland team, and at the same time they do not have to face the challenge of the top ten teams. Then when the time comes, they will compete for personal rankings. The battle depends on luck, and you might even be able to get into one of the top three teams.
In short, all parties were weighing the pros and cons and maximizing their own interests. In the end, it was decided, and the battle for team rankings began.
Teams that did not enter the top ten came forward to draw lots, and then each one got the results of the draw. When the results came out, everyone was a little surprised, because the result was that the eighteenth-ranked team challenged the Tianshui Wonderland team.
The strength of this eighteenth-ranked team is naturally very average. No one in the team practices ancient Taoism. The strength gap with the Tianshui Wonderland team is still relatively large. This kind of team has a lucky mentality. Even this eighteenth-ranked team The team also felt that it could beat the Tianshui Wonderland team, but other teams felt that the possibility was very low, but it was no problem to consume the Tianshui Wonderland team, and because of this, there was a dispute on the Tianshui Wonderland team.
"We always have to arrange the order of playing, right?" Shi Yanfeng was the first to jump out and say. Obviously, he knew that the next step was a war of attrition, and there was a high probability that the Tianshui Wonderland team would not be able to maintain the first ranking. If this is the case, then He had better prepare for the personal ranking battle earlier, then he naturally plans to preserve his strength.
"Yes, then who will go up first?" Hou Guanling also jumped up and spoke. He was originally at the bottom in terms of strength, but now he doesn't want to be a victim. The team ranking has been lost, but he can still compete for his personal ranking. Why don't he compete for it? How do you know if it works? There is no way he would sacrifice his interests for the team for anyone else.
Therefore, when these two people came out to talk, it was very obvious that they would not be the first to go out, nor did they want to, and they even planned to give up.
At this time, everyone else remained silent. This is the human heart. At this time, the Tianshui Wonderland team has actually existed in name only. Everyone has their own small calculations, and Shi Wuyin is no exception, and her selfishness must be is heavier, She has calculated that she possesses an ancient Taoist method, and she has a chance to become a member of the top three teams. After all, among these monks, there are only about ten or twenty monks who possess ancient Taoist methods, and there are only a few spots left. There was always a chance it would be her turn.
Not only Shi Wuyin but also Bai Feifan had the same idea. Excluding those monks who practiced ancient Taoism, there was still a slight chance for him to win the top three team members. In this case, why should he contribute? Why waste Taoist power to maintain the Tianshui Wonderland team's ranking?
Obviously, the Tianshui Wonderland team has basically given up the challenge just after it started. Everyone is thinking about their own interests. There is nothing wrong with this. Zhu Qianrou subconsciously looked at Zhang Zhiwen, but Zhang Zhiwen did not say a word. Obviously, Zhang Zhiwen didn't intend to come forward, but no matter whether he came forward or not, someone would always come out to fight, because this challenge was unavoidable, and then Shi Yanfeng would jump out and ask about the order of appearance.
Now the Tianshui Wonderland team had problems first, and no one said anything. But at this time, the old man came out to speak.
"By the way, I forgot to remind you. You are currently the number one team, so they are very special. You must keep your number one position, otherwise all team members will lose the qualifications for the individual ranking competition."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Tianshui Wonderland team was stunned on the spot. Even Shi Wuyin and Zhu Qianrou were a little unbelievable. But after these words were heard by other teams, the others suddenly became happy. Obviously, Of course they were overjoyed and gloating about his misfortune.
"Ha, there is such a thing. I really didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it."
"No, I thought that the Tianshui Wonderland team was going to avoid fighting or even surrender directly. I didn't expect that they couldn't do it. What should I do? It makes them worried, haha..."
"What if I say don't cheat? There will be no good consequences for cheating. Look, isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot? They think they can get away with it, but in fact it is a dream. This is Wuliang Mountain is not a place where they can play tricks and conspiracies unscrupulously. In the end, it all depends on their strength!"
"Yes, this is God's will. Hey, then I want to see what fun things will happen next. How long can the Tianshui Wonderland team last? It's really exciting, really exciting!"
…
A group of people were suddenly overjoyed and gloating about their misfortune. After hearing this, Zhou Yiyan and others also showed a hint of pride. Obviously, their choice was a wise one. They first let other teams knock off the Tianshui Wonderland team's number one position. They preserve their strength well, and They also seemed to be a blessing in disguise, safely avoiding this link. They were originally upset because they did not get the first ranking, but now they are relieved and even very lucky. Otherwise, even Zhou Yan would have been hard-pressed to say that he could resist. There are so many monks living here and there are so many challenges.
Therefore, the whole situation has undergone tremendous changes. The Tianshui Wonderland team fell directly into the icy abyss from the surprise of getting the first place. The faces of Shi Wuyin and others became increasingly ugly. Obviously, they were helpless. Those who avoid it will face the next tough battle.
