Lin Yun brought Xiahou Xuan and Qing Yi to the preparation area.
A large number of disciples from the Main Union and the core disciples from the 84 Alliance Martial Houses were gathered here.
Among them, there were a few people who looked at Lin Yun with hostility. They were the bald youth who had a conflict with Qing Yi in the restaurant yesterday, as well as his two Level 6 Wu Huang seniors.
"Hahaha, this guy really looks like a pig's head." Qing Yi also glanced at the bald youth and found that his face was wrapped in a scarf. His entire face was swollen like a pig's head.
A moment later, the chief examiner of this elimination round appeared on the high platform.
The chief examiner was a man who looked to be in his fifties. He did not hide his cultivation at all; he was a Level 1 Wu Sheng.
His clothes were luxurious, and he had an imposing appearance. His appearance was also quite mighty, and his entire body released a terrifying aura.
The chief examiner coughed lightly, and all the disciples present quieted down.
His eyes swept across the crowd. After confirming that all the participating disciples were present, he raised his voice and said, "Next, I will explain the rules of this elimination round to everyone."
Speaking up to here, the chief examiner turned around and pointed to the divine tower behind him that was covered by a barrier.
"The divine tower in front of you is a transmission array. As for the real elimination round, it is in another mystic realm, the Giant's Palace."
"The Giant's Palace has a total of 168 entrances, with a diameter of 60 miles. The paths inside are complex."
"This time, there are 252 core disciples from the 84 allied Martial Houses participating in the knockout tournament."
"There are also inner and outer sect disciples from the Main Alliance. There are also 252 of them."
"Three people in a team, a total of 168 teams. Through the transmission array of the divine tower, they will be evenly distributed to each entrance of the Giant's Palace."
The chief examiner paused, then continued, "The rules are very simple. In the center of the Giant's Palace, there is a closed hall. Each entrance is 30 miles away from the hall."
"Your task is to enter the Giant's Palace and compete with each other for the task items. Only when you reach the hall will you be able to pass."
At this point, the head examiner took out two items.
One was a key, and the other was a lock.
Then, the chief examiner raised the key and the lock high above his head, showing them to the crowd.
"Before the competition begins, every team will receive a random quest item. It could be a key or a lock."
"The conditions to pass are also very simple. You just have to defeat the other teams, gather the keys and locks at the same time, and head to the great hall in the center of the giant's palace."
"If the three members of the team are all alive and enter the main hall, they will be considered to have passed."
"There are a total of 504 participants, which means there are 168 teams."
"Among them, 84 teams will get the key and 84 teams will get the lock."
"And those who do not pass in the end will be disqualified from participating in this General Alliance Conference!"
Hearing the chief examiner's words, everyone understood the rules of the elimination round.
Qing Yi frowned and said in a low voice, "Does this mean that half of the people will be eliminated?"
Lin Yun shook his head and said, "No, the number of people in the elimination round will definitely be more than half."
Qing Yi and Xiahou Xuan looked puzzled and looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun explained, "Everyone only knows that they have the key or lock in their hands, but they do not know what the enemy has."
"It's very simple. If we have the key in our hands, but after defeating a team, we find out that the other team has the same key."
"In this case, we will have to continue fighting with the other teams until we get the lock."
"This will happen very frequently, so when the time comes, without the key and lock, the number of people who will be eliminated will definitely not be as simple as just half."
"Moreover, because there is a huge gap between the realms, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people will want to use this opportunity to seek revenge."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Qing Yi could not help but shiver. She looked at the bald young man and the farm fort on the other side.
At the same time, the chief examiner explained the rest of the rules.
"The time limit of the competition is 24 hours."
"If the team does not collect all the keys after 24 hours, or if the three of them do not enter the main hall together, it will be considered a failure."
"In addition, in the elimination round, killing each other is allowed."
"Once the competition starts, you will not be able to withdraw midway."
"The giant's palace is covered by a barrier and is also a mystic realm. No Voice Transmission Talisman can be used, so it will be impossible for you to escape with your abilities."
"I believe you have heard that the death rate in the giant's palace is over 50%."
"Therefore, it is not too late for those who are afraid of death to withdraw."
After hearing the chief examiner's words, everyone's expressions turned solemn. The entire place was filled with a stifling aura.
However, even so, not a single disciple had any intention of withdrawing.
After all, they were all geniuses who had gone through many rounds of selection.
Being proud and arrogant, even if they were afraid, they would not give up easily for the sake of their self-esteem.
Furthermore, they had gone through a lot of hardships to obtain a place to participate in the General Alliance Martial Competition.
They had even traveled thousands of miles from various places in the Sacred Western Region, so they would not give up on this life-changing General Alliance Martial Competition just because of the chief examiner's words.
"It seems like all of you are well-prepared. In that case, let's begin, young man. For the future of the Sacred Alliance, fight to your heart's content!"
After a period of time, every team was led by the chief examiner to collect their own mission items before arriving at their own entrance.
Lin Yun and the other two were assigned to the fourth entrance of the Sacred Tower before the chief examiner left.
"What the hell … This number is too inauspicious!" Qing Yi frowned as she felt a little scared.
Xiahou Xuan smiled and took out the key. She looked at Lin Yun and Qing Yi and asked, "Since we have the key, who will take care of it?"
Lin Yun's expression did not change as he extended his hand. He was the most suitable person to take care of the key. Qing Yi and Xiahou Xuan did not have any objections.
After receiving the key, the storage ring on Lin Yun's finger flashed slightly and the key disappeared.
At the same time, the Sacred Tower also emitted a light that enveloped them.
"Let's go."
