She Tiankuang's face was filled with confidence, and her eyes were filled with excitement. It seemed as if she wouldn't rest until Chi Xinnu was dead.
"Don't be anxious, there's no need to clash with him right now." Nie Tian's face was calm, indicating to She Tiankuang not to be impulsive.
After all, this was the venue of the Hidden Dragon Struggle. It wasn't appropriate to clash with Chi Xinnu directly.
Chi Xinnu was a member of the Angel Clan. If Nie Tian and the others forcefully attacked, the other martial artists of the Angel Clan would also attack. If things went wrong, it would cause chaos.
Nie Tian didn't want to kill Chi Xinnu right now. He only wanted to know who the person who placed the Blood Corpse Curse on Nie Yurou was.
It was highly likely that Chi Xinnu knew the method to resurrect Ni Jianming. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Nie Tian wouldn't kill Chi Xinnu.
"Fine, I'll let that brat jump around for a while longer." She Tiankuang laughed, a sharp light flashing in her eyes.
Nie Tian glanced at She Tiankuang and couldn't help but smile. This fellow was quite confident.
But in Nie Tian's eyes, She Tiankuang might not be a match for Chi Xinnu. At least, if She Tiankuang didn't use the Thunder Ape, it would be impossible for her to defeat Chi Xinnu.
A moment later, a group of figures appeared in the air. It was Heavenly Dao Martial House's Zhou Yu, leading the Hidden Dragon Struggle's referees.
"Everyone!" Zhou Yu's voice rang out. A majestic aura surged out, and the chaotic crowd immediately quietened down.
"Next up is the second stage of the Hidden Dragon Struggle, the elimination round." Zhou Yu's eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the audience and said in a deep voice, "The first stage has already divided the winner group and the loser group. In the elimination round, the two groups of martial artists will have to fight sixty-four battles with the martial artists in their group. For every victory, you will get one point. Losses or draws will not be scored."
"After 64 matches, we'll be ranked according to points. The top 1,000 people from the winner's group will advance, and the rest will be eliminated. The top 200 people from the loser's group will advance, and the rest will be eliminated."
Everyone stared at Zhou Yu, their eyes trembling and their faces filled with nervousness.
The first stage of the battle could only be considered a warm-up. Even if one was unlucky and encountered a powerful opponent, they would not be eliminated.
However, the second stage was different. If one's score was too low, it would mean that they would be eliminated.
The five great academies were the holy lands of martial arts in the hearts of warriors. Everyone had risked their lives to get to where they were, all for the sake of entering the five great academies. If they were eliminated in the Hidden Dragon Competition, it would be a real pity.
"Everyone, don't be too nervous. In the elimination round, even if you are eliminated, it does not mean that you will not be able to enter the five great academies. As long as your performance is good enough, you will still have a chance," Zhou Yu said lightly with a smile.
That's right. The five great academies had recruited a total of eight thousand people this time. However, only a little more than a thousand people could advance in the second stage. Therefore, there was still a small number of eliminated warriors who could still enter the five great academies. However, the prerequisite was that their performance was outstanding enough.
Everyone's eyes were burning with passion, as if they were all hoping that they could win Zhou Yu's favor.
At this moment, Nie Tian suddenly realized that the referees behind Zhou Yu were not the same referees as before. Instead, they were martial artists who looked older and stronger.
It seemed like they were the teachers of the five great academies.
"Everyone, the people standing behind me right now are the teachers of the five great academies. They will be the judges of the elimination round." Zhou Yu scanned the audience and continued, "Also, each of them has a quota. As long as your performance is good enough and you are recognized by them, they can let you enter the five great academies directly."
"That's great!" Everyone's eyes were trembling with passion. The way they looked at the judges had changed. Their eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
"Interesting." The corner of Nie Tian's lips twitched as he let out a faint smile.
"It's just a trick that the disciples of the great clans use." Chi Chenfeng, who was standing next to him, let out a wry smile and said with dissatisfaction.
"What do you mean?" Nie Tian was startled, he was confused.
Chi Chenfeng's lips twitched as he said, "The quotas in their hands seem to be fair, but in reality, most of them have already been reserved by the great clans. Some of the disciples of the great clans are not talented or strong enough, but the forces behind them are powerful enough to bribe the judges in advance, which is equivalent to entering the five great academies in advance. "
"So that's how it is," Nie Tian said, frowning.
So there was something fishy behind this seemingly fair competition.
The quotas in the hands of the judges had already been bought by others.
Nie Tian was still too young to see through the profound meaning behind it.
"But it doesn't matter. Lord Nie Tian is strong enough to enter the five great academies even if there's something fishy going on." Chi Chenfeng looked at Nie Tian and said with a smirk.
Nie Tian smiled and did not say anything else.
In fact, Chi Chenfeng's strength was considered very strong among all the participants. However, he might not be able to enter the five great academies because he was from a low-level Sacred World.
Not to mention the other warriors, even his own clan looked down on him.
Then, Zhou Yu announced the start of the knockout stage.
Nie Tian was still number 208. He only needed to wait for the battles to begin.
After the battles began, warriors quickly stepped onto the five hundred arenas in the sky. Exciting battles began one after another.
Nie Tian's eyes were like lightning. He quickly filtered out the useless battles and focused on the ones with quality.
After a while, his eyes were attracted by a swordsman.
The swordsman stood coldly in the air above the arena. He was dressed in white, and his body was like a sword. Sword Qi surged around him, and his aura was cold and sharp.
"This person's sword Qi gives me a very familiar feeling." Nie Tian frowned. He could not help but look at the swordsman strangely.
It was very strange. The sword Qi gave him a familiar feeling, but he was very sure that he had never seen this person before.
"Look, that guy is the genius swordsman of the Heaven Martial Association, Yu Jingchen." At this moment, someone shouted from the side.
"People from the Heaven Martial Association!" Nie Tian went blank for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his eyes.
Of course, he was familiar with the Heaven Martial Association. It was one of the five great forces behind the Heart of the Sky. Its leader was the eighth Star Emissary, Sacred Laozu's Scarlet Life Loyal Heart.
He did not expect to meet a swordsman of the Heaven Martial Association here.
In the next moment, Nie Tian suddenly understood something. His eyes lit up and he shouted in surprise, "I know!"
No wonder he felt that Yu Jingchen's sword Qi was familiar. It turned out that the latter's sword Qi was slightly similar to his.
