Chapter 1156: Chapter 337: Battle Totem Gai? (Double-Length)
The voice of Xie Venerate vanished at this moment, and the immortals departed one by one.
The platform suspended in the sky rapidly descended, finally transforming into a floating island on the sea.
The remaining ten thousand contestants in the arena looked at each other and then cheered together.
With a seven-round preliminary match, each round had an elimination rate of more than half, making it certainly not easy to endure to the end.
More importantly, as long as one enters the top ten thousand, they receive a significant sum of alliance points.
This competition was therefore not in vain.
The hall-level and monarch-level contestants thought this way, given that they basically had no chance of entering the top one thousand.
Standing in the corner, Lin Su didn’t seem very excited.
After all, his goal in this competition was to secure one of the ten spots to enter the Divine Court Ruins, and then find a way to hatch that mysterious egg.
As for the other rewards, he wasn’t very concerned.
After summoning Ghost and Youyou and sharing the joy of successfully advancing, Lin Su was just about to let Ghost lead everyone away when suddenly a ring from the communicator came through.
With the end of the competition, the previous signal blockage also quietly disappeared.
Lin Su opened the communicator and found it was Qin Nan.
"Hey, Nan Jie?"
The communication connected, and Qin Nan’s voice came from the other end of the communicator, "Wait for me a bit."
As soon as the words were said, the communication quickly hung up, and moments later, a figure rushed over from the other side of the floating island, it was Qin Nan.
"Let’s go, let Ghost give me a ride too!" She joyfully put her hands in her pockets, "Lucky me, I didn’t match up against epic-level or emperor-level opponents in the sixth round, or else I’d have probably been eliminated."
Lin Su was speechless.
Nan Jie advancing to the top ten thousand is indeed good news.
With a wave of Ghost’s paw, the two and a group of pet beasts swiftly returned to the initial departure island.
After eliminating over two million contestants, this island has now become much more spacious, and Lin Su and Qin Nan easily found two adjacent contestant accommodation rooms to stay in.
After a tiring day, the preliminary match officially came to a close.
Yet, the uproar it caused was far from over; instead, after the competition ended, it slowly fermented, forming a storm that swept across the entire Blue Star.
Because after the event, the organizers and the central live broadcast room jointly uploaded all the videos of this competition.
The total number already exceeded one million.
In these videos, the audience could find the complete match of every contestant; this couldn’t be done in the live broadcast room while watching live.
Although it’s impossible to watch every video, every netizen would pick the videos of the contestants they are interested in to watch.
Not only that, they would also interact with each other.
Using the click count of each video to sort, one could also see which are the popular contestants.
There were also enthusiastic content creators who edited and summarized these videos to make it more convenient for other netizens to watch.
Amidst these factors, Lin Su once again went viral.
Because by closely examining his performance in the seven rounds, everyone discovered countless highlights previously unnoticed.
Adding to the previous multiple appearances of Lin Su in the live broadcast, discussions about him soared overwhelming.
The most significant impact was that the number of followers on Lin Su’s social media account started to increase rapidly, and this time, the followers weren’t just humans, but also quite a few exotic beasts...
As for the surge in his followers, Lin Su had no time to pay attention.
He was currently checking the competition rules for tomorrow’s qualification match.
Tomorrow’s qualification match will be conducted in three rounds, though fewer than today’s preliminary’s seven rounds, it will be more formal.
The first round of the qualification is the battle strength assessment stage.
In this stage, contestants will enter a mysterious realm called the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm.
The Secret Realm Core inside this Heavenly Stele Secret Realm is a special stele.
And although the realm is only of the profound level, the stele is somewhat peculiar, capable of withstanding attacks of the emperor-level tier easily.
Attacking this stele, based on the strength displayed, contestants can obtain different tier ratings and various rewards.
The profound level secret realm is nothing, the reward isn’t important, what’s important is the rating.
It will serve as an important reference for the ranking of the top ten thousand contestants.
Following this, is the second round of the qualification, the knockout stage.
In the knockout stage, contestants draw lots to face off, the winner advances to the third round, and the loser is eliminated, with a total of five thousand contestants advancing.
Then comes the third and final round of tomorrow’s qualification, the group stage.
The five thousand contestants advancing from the knockout stage will be randomly divided into five-member groups, each contestant battles one-on-one with each other contestant in the group, and the contestant with the most victories advances.
Each group will advance only one contestant.
They will be the top one thousand ultimately determined by the qualification match.
It is worth mentioning that the battle strength rating obtained by each contestant in the first round has no influence on the elimination result of the second and third rounds, nor does it affect the ranking of the top one thousand.
Its function is to determine the ranking from the thousand and first place to the ten thousandth.
Based on contestants’ performance of winning in the second round, losing in the second round, and different victories in the third round, the event group will assign each contestant a different scoring ratio.
For instance, the scoring ratio for elimination in the second round is 0.5, the scoring ratio for zero wins in the third round is 0.6, one win is 0.7...
By multiplying these scoring ratios with the contestant’s battle strength score and sorting, the rankings obtained will be the final rankings of the nine thousand contestants eliminated in this qualification match.
