C256 The Group Competition and the Seed System!
Chu Yi's expression was extremely calm as he left with Lee Zi.
He did not even wait for the battle to continue.
After the battle ended, most of the geniuses would stay behind unless they were seriously injured or had lost too much strength to recover immediately.
Their purpose was naturally to observe their opponents.
No one knew who their opponents would be in the upcoming competition, so it was not a bad idea to pay attention to them beforehand. After all, they had nothing to do when they returned.
Furthermore, they could learn a lot from the battles of these geniuses.
However, to Chu Yi and Lee Zi, staying behind was meaningless.
If they really wanted to increase their battle experience, wouldn't the battle of the human geniuses in the virtual world be very interesting?
The leader of the Redmarsh City did not insist on having Chu Yi and Lee Zi stay behind. He did not need to worry about the rest.
Fairmoor City had already arranged for many flying cars to wait outside to pick up the examinees.
One had to admit that Fairmoor City was much better than Redmarsh City in this aspect.
After returning to the hotel, Chu Yi did not go out. Instead, he sat together with Lee Zi and discussed.
Of course, they were not discussing about today's battle, but about tomorrow.
Even if Lee Zi's current strength was displayed, she would still be qualified to enter the national battle if she did not use her battle body.
Basically, everything Lee Zi had displayed was not weaker than the Four Young Masters of the Fairmoor and the Three Young Masters of the Grassvale.
Of course, this was under the condition that the other party did not have any trump cards. Even if the other party had any trump cards, they would definitely not be a match for Lee Zi after she used her battle body.
Chu Yi did not believe that there was any trump card that could be compared to the battle body.
"In the upcoming battle, try your best to hide your trump cards."
"Lee Zi, with your current strength, it should be very easy for you to enter the top sixteen."
"Everything will bloom on the stage of the national battle."
Lee Zi was extremely confident in Chu Yi. As long as Chu Yi said it, Lee Zi would usually listen to him.
She also knew why Chu Yi arranged it this way.
Previously, Lee Zi already knew about the matters of the Milky Way Academy, so she wanted to accompany Chu Yi.
If she did not have those trump cards, Lee Zi reckoned that it would be very difficult for her to be selected. However, if she had the battle body, then it would be a different matter.
The battle body would naturally cause a greater sensation on the stage of the national battle, and it would be able to create a good reputation for herself.
Although the battle body did not need these things, it was still beneficial to prepare more.
Furthermore, many civilizations would be invited to the stage of the country war. It would be a disgrace to the power of a top-tier battle body if they were to display their battle bodies there.
...
The day's battles quickly ended.
The eight rounds of battles in the afternoon were all finished before evening.
The following battles were basically no different from the battles in the morning.
In the end, the average rate of advancement for the aristocratic children was only slightly over twenty percent.
Of the two hundred and sixty-six spots in the official competition, the aristocratic children of the Aristocratic Alliance only obtained sixty of them.
At least twenty percent.
The government was naturally very happy about this result. However, it was an unacceptable result for the Aristocratic Alliance.
Apart from some monstrous geniuses who were already considered invincible, none of the other monstrous geniuses had advanced.
It could be said that this was the first time the Aristocratic Alliance had been slapped in the face so hard.
After this incident, the Aristocratic Alliance also realized that their method of nurturing was no longer effective.
Perhaps it was not a problem in the past. Even if it was only a twenty percent rate of advancement, it was still acceptable.
However, if this continued, the Aristocratic Alliance would really be left behind.
It could not be helped. The Terran Federation was about to enter the Second Level Civilization soon!
At that time, the impact on the Aristocratic Alliance would be even more intense. If it was still the same, it would be extremely dangerous.
The next morning, Chu Yi was called out.
This time, their performance in the Redmarsh was not bad.
There were nearly twenty people in total, and five of them had entered the main competition.
Even the host, Fairmoor, only had seven people enter the main competition.
As for the Grassvale, it was only slightly stronger than the Redmarsh, with only six people.
It seemed that in the competition between the three capitals, the Redmarsh was at the bottom, but this was not the case.
The quota was one aspect, but it was not the most important aspect!
What people really cared about was the final result.
In other words...
The winner of the competition!
This was what everyone was concerned about.
Furthermore, the number of geniuses in the Redmarsh had been dwindling. Basically, there was no one who was too strong.
Many people knew this, but even so, as the host of the Redmarsh, Fairmoor only had two more people than the Northern Capital.
As for the Grassvale, they only had one more person.
This showed how strong the foundation of Redmarsh was.
Even when the geniuses withered, they could still catch up to the two capitals.
Of course, this had something to do with Chu Yi and Lee Zi's sudden rise.
If there were no two of them, then there would only be three people in Redmarsh this time. It would be a lot more ugly.
"First, the opening ceremony will be held, followed by the drawing of lots."
The leader of the Half Step to War God explained to Chu Yi and the others in detail.
Next was the main point, which was the division of power between the three capital cities. Even though Chu Yi belonged to the Aristocratic Alliance, the Half Step to War God was still fully devoted to serving Chu Yi and the others.
"This time, the drawing of lots is different from the previous years. After all, there is still the country war coming up."
"So, it will be done in a group format."
"There will be a total of eight groups. The top two of each group will enter the final sixteen."
"Of course, the top sixteen will represent the quota for the country war!"
When he said this, the leader's expression became much more serious.
"The group drawing of lots is not a random draw."
"Here, each group will first determine a few seeded players, and these seeded players will be evenly distributed among the eight groups."
"Then, the other examinees will draw lots for their groups."
If it was the previous years, there was no need to do this.
If you were unlucky and met those top geniuses ahead of time, then it could only be considered as your bad luck. Who could you blame?
Anyway, everyone would draw lots fairly, and there was no underhanded operation.
But this time, it could not be done.
Because the national examination was no longer the final examination. There was still the country war after it!
Compared to the national competition, the national examination was more like a martial arts examination in the entire country. However, in the eyes of many people, the national examination was more like a selection.
They were going to select the top geniuses to participate in the national battle!
Since that was the case, they naturally could not let those top geniuses meet each other in advance.
It was as if there were only two people among the seven top geniuses of the Redmarsh and the three top geniuses of the Northern Capital who could enter the country war.
This was an unacceptable result for the entire Adirang Region!
Therefore, the seeded player system and the group system were adopted in a new way to ensure the number of spots and strength of the national battle.
"Chu Yi will definitely become a seeded player."
"But Lee Zi..."
The leader hesitated for a moment before saying, "You won't be a seeded player."
"Although the strength you displayed was extremely terrifying, comparable to the top geniuses, their cultivation levels are a little higher than yours."
"Most importantly, they have the support of powerful families."
"This means that they still have some terrifying methods!"
"If there are no elite geniuses from the government, then the probability of you becoming a seeded player is very high. But now..."
The leader did not continue, because the meaning was clear.
Lee Zi's strength was very strong, but in the eyes of the crowd, she did not have any trump cards.
Lee Zi, who had lost her trump card, naturally could not compare to the other top geniuses.
"However, I believe in your strength!"
"So, Lee Zi, you have to work hard!"
Yes, this was just a simple encouragement.
If they followed Lee Zi's previous performance and used this kind of grouping, then the probability of Lee Zi advancing would not be very high.
However...
Lee Zi smiled lightly, as if she was not affected at all.
Chu Yi, who was at the side, also had a calm expression.
Previously, when they were discussing, they hoped that Lee Zi would not reveal her trump cards.
But if it was not possible, then it didn't matter.
Compared to the quota for the country war, revealing her trump card in advance was also something acceptable.
"Alright, let's go!"
After saying this, the leader brought Chu Yi and the other six people onto the flying car arranged by Fairmoor City and started to head towards the martial arts center that they had set up yesterday.
...
The sea of people was not enough to describe the scene outside the Martial Arts Center of Fairmoor.
This scene reminded Chu Yi of the scene he had seen in the World Cup finals on TV in his previous life.
En, even more fanatical!
Not only were there more people than in the previous World Cup, but in this world, people’s passion for martial arts far exceeded their passion for football.
In the original world, although there were a lot of fans, there was also a large portion of people who did not like football.
But in this world...
You could not dislike martial arts, but you could not ignore the importance of martial arts.
In fact, almost 99% of people could not imagine the passion for martial arts.
Therefore, every year, the college entrance exam was the most grand festival, and almost everyone paid attention to it.
Chu Yi and the others’ arrival did not cause much of a stir.
After all, Chu Yi represented the Redmarsh, and this was Fairmoor. The people who could gather here were almost all local residents of Fairmoor.
They could not cheer for the examinees from other districts.
Chu Yi and the others easily passed through the crowd and entered the Martial Arts Stadium. The cars in Fairmoor were not so lucky.
Of course, the other geniuses were envious of this kind of treatment, but Chu Yi and Lee Zi did not have such thoughts.
At this moment, there were more than 500,000 seats in the stadium, and even the aisle was filled with people.
If the tickets were sold, the average price would definitely be more than 10,000 federation coins.
In other words, just the sect's income alone was more than five billion!
This was definitely an astronomical figure for the commoners. One must know that Chu Yi's father, Chu Xiong, almost chose to go to jail because of three million!
However, the Fairmoor City government did not lack this kind of income. They just wanted to make it as grand as possible, and they did not care about money at all.
Therefore, the tickets were free.
Furthermore, it was absolutely fair!
As long as you could snatch it, no matter what your identity was, even if you were a beggar, you could enter the stadium and watch the competition!
