Liu Zhiyi smiled.
He didn't expect Fang Qiu to thank him.
However, he accepted the gratitude very naturally.
Why did he thank him?
Actually.
Fang Qiu knew that although Liu Zhiyi wanted to compete with him, he wanted to use this opportunity to let himself and Liu Zhiyi understand each other's strength and fighting methods.
Only after understanding each other would the three of them have a clear idea of what kind of situation they would face and how they should deal with it when they engaged in a team battle together.
Qing Yun, who was puzzled, also understood.
Actually.
With his strength and cultivation level, it was very easy for him to see the fight clearly. However, he had been focusing most of his attention on Wu Ming. That was why he was slightly confused when Liu Zhiyi admitted defeat. Now that he thought about it for a while, he understood everything.
The battle was over.
Elder Qian removed the restriction.
In the distance, the spies from various countries who had been waiting for the result immediately looked over as soon as the restriction disappeared.
In the end, they only saw a group of Huaxia people talking and laughing together. There was no sign of a fight at all. They looked at John Doe and Liu Zhiyi. Both of them looked normal and there seemed to be no problem at all. Not only did they not oppose each other, but they were also walking together, talking and laughing.
It wasn't until John Doe and the other two left that the spies from various countries returned to report.
The people in charge of various countries were also dumbfounded when they heard the report.
They thought they could judge Liu Zhiyi's strength from the result, but they didn't get any results at all. They wanted to judge from the state of the two after the battle, but they found that both of them were in very good condition, so they couldn't make a judgment at all.
Under such circumstances.
The people in charge of the major forces of various countries could only helplessly continue to prepare for the next team battle. After all, they only had one day to prepare.
One day later.
The people in charge of the major forces of various countries all brought their people to the area where Sword Pavilion was located.
Here.
John Doe, Qing Yun, and Liu Zhiyi, who represented Huaxia, also came with the three old men.
Everyone was gathered in one place.
"Today is the day to announce the rules of the team battle and draw lots to determine the opponents."
The person in charge of England stood up and looked at the three old men. "All the rules will be decided by us. Huaxia is in charge of the venue. Are you ready?"
"Of course."
Elder Qian responded indifferently and said, "The venue is here."
"Here?"
The people from the various countries were taken aback.
"Of course not in the Qi Source."
Elder Qian shook his head and said, "We've already set up a Space Secret Realm here. The battle will be held in the Space Secret Realm. In order to ensure the fairness of the battle, everything in the Space Secret Realm is formed naturally. It can't be controlled by humans."
Hearing this.
Only then did the representatives of the various countries nod in satisfaction.
Not to mention that Huaxia forbade them from fighting in the Qi Source, even if Huaxia was willing, they would not be willing. After all, the Huaxia people were much more familiar with the terrain of the Qi Source than they were.
"As for the rules of the spatial secret realm, I will announce them in detail when the time comes."
Elder Qian added.
"Alright."
The person in charge of England nodded and said, "In that case, let me announce the rules of the team battle next!"
Everyone listened attentively.
"For the team competition, we will draw lots to decide who will fight in groups."
The person in charge of England said, "Of course, this kind of battle is not a simple battle, but a circular battle. In other words, every team will face each other.
Once for the other teams. "
"One point will be accumulated for each victory until the end of the battle cycle. The final points will determine the top three teams in the finals."
The various countries nodded in agreement. This was the rule they had discussed and it was also the fairest rule. Every country had an equal chance.
The Huaxia side also nodded in agreement.
In terms of the overall terms of the battle, Huaxia had already taken a step back to the rest of the world. Therefore, these countries obviously did not dare to play any tricks on the rules of the battle.
"Next, let's officially start drawing lots."
As he spoke, the person in charge of England waved his hand, and a subordinate immediately came out with a lot box.
"According to detailed statistics, a total of 195 national teams, as well as the two major forces, Rome Shrine and Styx, are participating in this battle for dominance."
"Excluding the 105 national teams that voluntarily withdrew or did not have the strength to participate in the competition, there are 90 national teams and the two major forces' teams left, a total of 92 teams."
The person in charge of England walked to the lot box and opened it to let everyone clearly see that it was filled with table tennis balls. Each table tennis ball had the name of a country written on it.
In front of everyone.
The person in charge of England messed up all the table tennis balls in the lot box.
"Huaxia is the host, so the first lot will be drawn by Huaxia."
"Please."
As they spoke …
The person carrying the lot box from England walked straight to Old Qian and gestured for him to draw a lot.
"I'll do it."
Qing Yun took the initiative to step forward.
After getting everyone's approval, he reached into the lot box and took out a table tennis ball.
He took a closer look.
On the table tennis ball, it was written: France!
As soon as the lot was drawn.
It immediately caused an uproar around.
Everyone could not help but exclaim.
France was one of the five major countries.
There were a total of 92 teams, and the probability of the five major countries meeting each other in the first round was very low. They did not expect to meet each other in the first round.
There was no doubt that this battle would attract everyone's attention.
That was because, in everyone's eyes, the teams of the five major countries and the two major forces were definitely seeded players in the finals.
Everyone believed that the top three teams that would enter the finals would definitely be three of these seven teams.
The battle of the seeded players.
Just this point alone was enough to attract a lot of attention.
"Next, the countries will draw lots in batches. If you draw a team that already has an arrangement, you'll draw again."
As the person in charge of England gave the order, the people in charge of the participating countries took the initiative to line up and draw lots.
"America versus England!"
The second to draw lots was Rick from America.
When he drew England's lot, the scene was even more in an uproar.
The five major countries.
In the first two lots, four countries were drawn.
That was simply too exciting.
The person in charge of England, who had been leading the lot drawing, had a sullen expression when he saw that America had drawn his country, but he did not say anything.
Anyway, according to the rules, every country would inevitably have to fight a different country. It was better to fight earlier than later.
Fighting first could guarantee the mystery of one's own country.
The later the fight, the more the opponent could understand them from the previous battles.
It was precisely because of that.
The five major countries were quite hoping to meet each other early.
Because America had drawn it, England naturally lost the right to draw lots.
At the same time, they retreated.
"Su versus Rui."
"Will versus Nanyue."
"Japan versus Xian."
"Italy versus Myanmar."
…
The drawing of lots continued.
Because each drawing of lots could decide the match between the two countries, the drawing speed was also very fast. In less than five minutes, the first round of matches between the 92 teams had been drawn.
"The draw is over."
The person in charge of England said, "The rules of the team battle have also been announced. The team battle will start when the sun rises tomorrow. Although we haven't announced the arrangements and plans for the battle, China is the first to draw lots and is also the host country. So, the first battle tomorrow will be carried out by China. How about that?"
"Okay."
Elder Qian nodded.
Since they would have to fight sooner or later, there was no point in holding it back. It was better to finish the battle early and enter a state of rest and preparation for the next round.
Hearing that China had agreed.
All the countries laughed.
They all knew that China and France were top existences, so they all wanted to use this battle to take a good look at the strength of China and France.
As one of the five major countries, the battle between these two countries would inevitably expose a lot of things.
And that was what other countries wanted to see!
The dust had settled.
Countries returned to prepare.
On the Huaxia side, Fang Qiu and the other two stayed in the territory of Sword Pavilion to prepare.
The next day.
The sun rose in the morning.
People from all over the world had already arrived at the area where Sword Pavilion was located.
At this time, this area had been completely cleared and turned into a very wide lawn.
This time.
Because the competition was completely open.
Not only people from all over the world came, but all the Huaxia Wulin people and most of the Qi Source forces brought people here, except for Buddhism and Taoism who didn't like crowds.
For a moment.
The entire area of Sword Pavilion became very lively.
Everyone was waiting for the first battle to begin.
"People from all the participating countries have arrived. Let's begin!"
The person in charge of England stepped forward.
Hearing that.
Elder Qian stepped forward.
He turned around and faced the east, which was a small area that was sealed by Sword Pavilion and no one was allowed to enter.
He waved his right hand.
A bronze mirror flew out of Elder Qian's hand and hovered in the air.
Then, a bright light suddenly burst out of the bronze mirror and gathered together to form a dazzling energy light ball. After the light ball was formed, it immediately spread in all directions.
In the end, it formed a rectangular door the size of a football goal.
Through this door.
Everyone could see very clearly that it was a glacier space.
Everyone could see the panoramic view of the entire space.
"The first group: China versus France, please enter."
Elder Qian opened his mouth.
Wu Ming, Qing Yun, and Liu Zhiyi, who were waiting at the side, took a step forward at the same time and flew toward the door floating in mid-air. They directly entered the secret realm behind the door.
At the same time.
On the side of France, three people also stepped forward.
Everyone was very familiar with two of them.
The first one was the most eye-catching woman among all the forces in the world. She was a fat woman from France with a very bad temper!
