The Empress is still on the run

Chapter 69

Or to put it another way, it was just his own wishful thinking. In fact, Xiao Xueman has never changed. It is impossible for the two of them to be together again, that is, it is impossible.

He should be content.

Xiao Xueman rushed to see Shen Guan, and didn't have time to argue with Qin Lou here, let alone what Qin Lou was thinking right now, he left without saying a word.

Shen Guan is also very busy recently. He leads the team to live in the Yaozu resident. The Fox tribe has been hit hard, especially the younger generation. Shen Guan has worked hard for the past few years just to pull the younger generation up. It is very important to say, and he is also responsible for the work of the judges.

When Xiao Xueman found him, he was giving a lecture to a group of furries.

"...Be serious, do you hear me?" Shen Guan's tone was stern, but his hands were very gentle, he kept touching the furry ears of the little foxes, "Don't underestimate the enemy, of course, there will be dangers in competitions, and there were also dangers in the past." Those who suffer irreparable injuries in the competition, no matter what, the game is a game, after this loss, and the next time, it is not as important as yourself.”

The little foxes nodded obediently.

"Let's do this first," Shen Guan saw Xiao Xueman coming in, and told them to go back to rest, "Go, there will be a competition in a few days, let's go to rest first."

Xiao Xueman still came with a food box. He and Shen Guan had been busy all day and didn't eat much. He planned to chat while eating.

"How is Xiaowan's preparations?" Shen Guan asked by the way, "It's his first time participating in this, so he may not be used to it."

"He's 15 years old. If he doesn't make this kind of preparation, it's his own business, and I can't control it." Xiao Xueman was quite open-minded, "I'm his father, but I don't care about this matter." I don’t need to be responsible to him from the beginning to the end, I also have my own things to do. You are different, you are the patriarch, you have to bear the responsibilities within the clan, and you have many things to manage.”

Shen Guan rubbed his hands and neck, sighed, and said: "It's still good for you, you are free, being the patriarch is exhausting, and you don't know when you will be tall."

Xiao Xueman smiled and said: "I just saw you enjoying it."

Shen Guan thought for a while, but did not refute.

The current younger generation of the Fox Clan are very hardworking and serious, at least Shen Guan is not disappointed.

"Although the five-person competition and the alchemist competition are said to be held at the same time, they are at the same time, not on the same day. After all, they are interspersed in order to avoid time conflicts. Generally speaking, the preliminary rounds of the single-player competition are held first. Everyone enters the arena at the same time and competes fairly. It lasts for seven days. After the preliminary round of the singles is over, everyone rests for three days. That is, after ten days of normal start, we are in charge of the normal start of the five-player competition, and the semi-finals of the singles competition The finals are interspersed," the two of them talked about, and mentioned the competition itself, "so this preliminary single competition is actually attended by all the judges."

Xiao Xueman didn't participate in the judging, but he could watch it.

"During this period of time, you rarely go to the first level. You don't know the group of young people in the upper world. There are really a few good ones, and a few interesting ones," Shen Guan said, "When the time comes, I will show you See, you'll see."

Xiao Xueman was really interested.

After chatting with Shen Guan today, he returned to the guest room in the arena, and when he walked through the corridor, he heard a loud noise, like some kind of party.

Xiao Xueman frowned. After he got to his room, he found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Wan and Yun Rong jointly set up a sound-proof barrier.

"What are you doing outside?" Xiao Xueman asked, "Isn't there a competition in a few days? Why is there still time for a party?"

Yun Rong explained: "It's normal, they are all children of small families, unlike big families that can be in groups. The preliminary round is a competition system where we go in together and fight together. It will be beneficial to form cliques and help each other. Xiaowan and I also There were invitations to parties, but we weren't interested, so we didn't go."

Xiao Xueman smiled and said, "Then if you don't participate, won't you be excluded?"

"Everyone has their own choice," Xiao Wan said calmly, "See you on the field then."

The small families of the fourth, fifth and sixth heavens may not necessarily receive first-hand news. For example, the identity of Xiao Wan and Yun Rong has not been brought to the fore.

Soon, the preliminary round will begin.

When the competition started, Xiao Xueman stood on the judges' seat, watching the waves of children coming in.

Maybe it was because of his father's eyes, he saw Xiao Wan at a glance, standing beside Yun Rong, the two children seemed to be talking.

The venue for the single preliminary competition is an arena, which has been used for many years. More than 8000 children are divided into eight groups, with about [-] people in each group, entering through different entrances.

The preliminary competition is in the form of melee, and the venue partly simulates the form of a mine or a secret place. Players go in, find and capture the "points" hidden in the arena, and the points will be recorded on the player cards that the players bring. You can see the battle situation in the projection spirit weapon, and you can also see the real-time record update of the ranking, and finally determine the candidates for promotion according to the ranking of points.

In order to ensure fairness and prevent people from taking advantage of loopholes or malicious melee, the points cannot be transferred, and the points already obtained and recorded by others cannot be robbed. There is no elimination mechanism for seven days of the competition. Players can choose to quit early if they think they have enough points.

Of course, this competition system is not absolutely fair, no competition system will be absolutely fair.Even the one-on-one format of the semi-finals may involve the luck of drawing lots for the opponents. It can only be said that in the case of a large number of people in the preliminary round, this is a relatively efficient and fair mechanism.

Just like the party Xiao Xueman saw before, forming a team inside will be more conducive to the competition for points.But the team is temporary after all. Everyone is not a teammate, but still a competitor. The team also faces the problem of point distribution.

Arena This arena is specially set up for Blue Ocean Athletics. The space for the judges is a huge circular area, the walls are seventh-order spiritual artifacts, and what is displayed is the real-time projection inside the arena.

Blue Ocean Athletics does not allow the use of spirit weapons, and it is not allowed to bring them into the storage space. After all, the preliminary round is seven days old, and you can use the elixir for restoring spiritual power and healing, but all of them are provided by the organizer. The amount for each person is fixed, so use sparingly.

The judges not only watch the game, but also watch carefully to catch violations.

Shen Guan sat next to Xiao Xueman, and introduced to him those interesting children mentioned before.

To be precise, those outstanding children in the preliminary round are easy to distinguish.

Once inside, he was able to quickly distinguish the terrain and look for points, and soon Xiao Xueman saw that the ranking on the counter began to change.

"Right now, half of the top rankings in each group are people from Wangtianxianmen," Shen Guan said to him, "Look at that kid."

The number one in Xiaowan's group was also the one who looked at the Tianxian Gate, and the projection screen followed him. The child who was currently number one stood opposite Xiaowan. I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, they ran into each other as soon as they came in.

Xiao Xue wasn't nervous at all, but Qin Lou became nervous.

The kid didn't mean anything malicious, you could tell from Xiaowan's expression, nothing changed, it seemed like a normal conversation.

"Even if you are Dijun's child, I won't let you," he said to Xiaowan, "I must be number one this time."

During the competition, it was just harsh words and youthful arrogance. Xiao Wan pulled Yun Rong and pushed back: "I use the quota of the chamber of commerce. It has nothing to do with Wangtian Xianmen and Qinlou. I don't need you to give in. If you lose Remember, don't go back and tell your emperor that I bully people."

"I won't!" The child was obviously angry, "Then we will wait and see!"

There is no need for two people to fight at the beginning to consume energy, it is better than the final points, and after the preliminary round, there will be a semi-final final, and there will always be a chance to face each other in the future.

Xiao Wan has been very stable. Xiao Xueman watched him and Yun Rong stay in the top ten for the first three days, about seven or eight. By the fourth day, everyone was exhausted, so he started to catch up.

On the night of the fourth day, Xiao Wan rose from eighth to fifth, and on the morning of the fifth day, he had already risen to fourth, just a hair away from the top three.

The kid named Lu Ming who looked at the Heavenly Immortal Gate has always been the number one.

At noon on the sixth day, Xiao Wan successfully rushed to the second place, and Yun Rong followed him to the third place. Seeing that the gap with the first place was getting smaller and smaller, the two began to rotate positions from the evening of the sixth day, No.1 His name changes after a while.

The few little foxes brought by Shen Guan performed well, and two of the most talented ones were expected to be the top three in the third and sixth groups in the preliminary round. It has not been a few years since the fox family was hit hard, and Shen Guan is already quite satisfied with being able to bring them like this Yes, it's Xiaowan...

"I hope he wins, but it doesn't matter if he loses." Xiao Xueman said helplessly. He said this to Shen Guan and also to Qin Lou who was on the side. ?”

But after Xiao Xueman finished saying this, Xiao Wan's points, which had been increasing steadily, suddenly slowed down. He fell from the first place to the second place, and then remained unchanged for a long time.

Seems like something is wrong?

The organizer also adjusted the screen projection in due course, Xiao Wan seemed to be entangled by some teams.

He and Yun Rong were originally together, and Yun Rong lured some people away for him, but some remained.

In addition to people like Xiao Wan who are fighting for the first place, those who are fighting for the top [-] promotion places are also very urgent.

Yun Rong also said that people from small and medium-sized families in the three, four, five, and six heavens may not be really cannon fodder. Among them, there are also people who are really talented, and there are also those who can play tricks.Some of them will form a team, and some teams are just to send the top few to advance. Although the points cannot be transferred, but in the case of a team, it is much better to get points from scouting to escort than fighting alone.

A lot of benefits are outside the arena. Some children from small families even know that it is impossible to advance based on their own abilities. It is better to discuss before the competition and sell favors to children from medium-sized families in exchange for them outside the arena. It's not a loss to come here for some benefits.

In this situation, it is also difficult to judge violations on the field. People are willing to pair up and help each other. This is a personal choice, and they cannot be forced to separate.

However, there are [-] places in the preliminary competition, which is enough. The subsequent competition system is a one-on-one point system.

This kind of team is also very bullying and afraid of the tough. Some players from the big sects have read the information before and recognize them, so they dare not follow.

They didn't dare to Xiao Wanyunrong at first, because he looked very powerful. The reason why he was targeted by them now was that the game was almost over, and the points were getting less and less. One of the top members of the team reckoned that he was enough. If you don't make it to the top [-], you have no choice but to follow.

Xiao Wan was able to quickly find those hidden points, and he looked like a fat sheep. Secondly, Xiao Wan's face did not appear in the list of the big family, and they had seen him in the guest room of the arena. Those who are permanently stationed can only live in arena rooms, and they are definitely not members of big families.

The dozen or so people in this team basically have the strength of around the fifth level of spiritual masters. Xiao Wan can't handle so many people even if he lasted until the seventh day.

While following him, those people were afraid of his strength and causing trouble in the future, so they apologized to him: "I'm sorry, you are already so good, you must be in the top three, we only want to be in the top two hundred, you pity us Bar."

Xiao Wan: "?"

Is it because of being poor in the competition?

Because he found that there were too many people on the other side, he and Yun Rong quickly reunited and started to discuss countermeasures together.

"This time, I won't be able to get the first place in the preliminary competition, and I will be entangled," Xiao Wan casually wiped his wet forehead hair, looking obviously angry, "But they don't want to rely on this method to get in."
