The Puppet Catwalk?
Chapter 1132: The Puppet Catwalk?
After the end of the fourth round, the rules changed from the fifth round onwards.
During the fourth round of the competition, there were only about 50,000 Nirvana Realm contestants left.
Logically speaking, after the fourth round, the number of contestants left would not exceed twenty-five thousand.
However, during the fifth round, the total number of contestants had reached thirty thousand!
Yes, that's right. During the fifth round, the Human race and Demons had added more contestants.
This made Qin Shaofeng a little confused because he didn't know what was going on with the sudden increase of four to five thousand people.
Although the higher-ups of the Human race and Demons had given an explanation, Qin Shaofeng did not believe it.
The explanation given by the Human race and Demons was that they wanted to increase the number of contestants to thirty thousand to make it easier for the fifth round.
This was because the fifth round was no longer a one-on-one battle.
Even if they lost in the fifth round of the competition, it wouldn't matter too much. This was because the entire fifth round of the competition was based on the number of wins and losses to determine whether they would advance or not.
It did not matter if one lost a match in the fifth round.
This was because as long as one won enough matches and was ranked well in the entire fifth round, one would be able to advance to the sixth round.
As for what a good ranking was, it was easy to understand.
That was, within the stipulated ten days, those who ranked in the top 100 would be able to advance to the sixth round of the competition.
Yes, that's right. In the fifth round, the number of contestants would be reduced from thirty thousand to one hundred.
Logically speaking, there was no limit to the number of matches one could win in the fifth round.
If one won a match, one could choose to continue the competition. Even if one wanted to win continuously, it was allowed.
Among the hundred contestants, if twenty of them were to win ten matches in a row, they would be able to advance to the sixth round. Even if they did not win as many matches as the others after the fifth round ended.
This meant that if one could win ten matches in a row, even if it was only ten matches, as long as one was the first twenty contestants to win ten matches in a row, they would be able to advance to the sixth round unconditionally and become one of the top hundred contestants.
However, in such a grand competition, it was not easy to win ten matches in a row.
Unless one was a true monstrous genius who possessed the strongest Nirvana Stage strength, it was impossible to win ten matches in a row.
As for the remaining eighty contestants, they would be ranked based on the number of victories they won.
Those who were ranked in the top eighty would be able to advance to the next round.
Of course, if the number of consecutive victories did not reach 20, the remaining slots would also be ranked according to the number of consecutive victories, and whether or not they would be able to advance would be determined.
If one won a match, one would naturally have the right to continue to fight.
If he failed, he would have to wait until it was his turn to compete in the next round. He would have to wait for his turn according to the number of contestants.
After all, the Battle Arena, the contestants, the fifth round, the fifth round, there were thirty thousand contestants. Naturally, it was impossible for everyone.
The remaining contestants would have to be ranked in a row.
However, if you want to continue the competition after losing, there is a prerequisite, and that is, you have to survive first.
Life and death were not allowed in this competition. If everyone died, how could they proceed to the next round?
Of course, after winning a match, the contestants could choose to take a break. If they had enough rest, they could apply to continue the match. At that time, the super AI of the Battle Arena would arrange for the fastest match.
In short, thirty thousand contestants would determine the top hundred contestants. This was the fifth round of the competition.
After knowing the changed rules, Qin Shaofeng only frowned. He did not care much about it. At most, he felt a little strange.
However, when the fifth round began, Qin Shaofeng finally knew where the strange feeling in his heart came from.
Qin Shaofeng's mouth twitched when he saw the familiar metal body in one of the arenas in the Battle Arena.
Damn it, is this a mechanical puppet?
That's right. At this moment, there was a match that seemed to have an outcome as soon as it appeared in the arena. The gap between the two sides was too great.
Human race had a sixth-level Nirvana Stage martial artist who had cultivated four Pills of Laws.
His opponent, on the other hand, was only a second-level Nirvana Stage martial artist who had cultivated one Pill of Laws.
With such a combination, there was no need to watch the match. The outcome was already destined.
He was at the second level of the Nirvana Realm and only had one Core of Laws. How could such a devil defeat a human who had cultivated four Cores of Laws and was at the peak of the sixth level of the Nirvana Realm?
The only thing that everyone was concerned about was that it was already the fifth round of the competition. How could such a Demons appear?
Qin Shaofeng thought so too. Then, Qin Shaofeng thought about the sudden addition of four to five thousand contestants this time. He immediately felt that this Demons was probably one of the four to five thousand contestants that had suddenly joined the competition.
However, Qin Shaofeng was very puzzled at the beginning. What exactly was going on when the Demons allowed such a weak contestant to join the fifth round of the competition?
How could this be possible? It didn't seem like the right choice!
Could it be that the higher-ups of the Demons had collectively lost their minds?
However, after seeing the Demons take out a mechanical puppet, Qin Shaofeng finally understood something.
This was not because the higher-ups of the Demons had lost their minds, but because they had a plan.
Wasn't this a complete imitation of him? Using a low-level contestant to bring a powerful mechanical puppet to challenge an opponent of a higher level and then earn points for the cross-level challenge?
In that case, didn't it mean that …
Qin Shaofeng's eyes flashed as he thought of something. He immediately looked at the entire Battle Space.
Qin Shaofeng saw that there were some second- or third-level Nirvana Stage martial artists in many of the arenas in the Battle Space.
Human race and Demons were all different.
However, they all had one thing in common, and that was that each of them more or less had some mechanical puppets.
Qin Shaofeng finally understood now. It was probably because of the 256 points he had obtained in the Nine Heavenly Layers challenge that directly touched the nerves of the upper echelons of the Demon Race.
Then, the higher-ups of the Demons and the higher-ups of the Human race had a negotiation.
Qin Shaofeng was not clear about the outcome of the negotiation, but Qin Shaofeng now understood one thing.
These second- and third-level Nirvana Stage martial artists were probably the result of the negotiation between the higher-ups of the Human race and the Demons.
After understanding this, Qin Shaofeng's gaze once again fell on the first arena he saw.
At this moment, the Human race contestant had already started fighting with the mechanical puppet.
However, Qin Shaofeng could now see that whether it was the Demons in this arena or the Human race and Demons in the other arenas, the mechanical puppets they had were basically not powerful.
If it was their personal strength or family strength, they would definitely not be able to get any powerful mechanical puppets.
But at this moment, the mechanical puppets of these contestants were all at the Nirvana Stage.
This was probably the result of the higher-ups of the Human race and the Demons deliberately selecting these people for the competition and then configuring some mechanical puppets.
However, Qin Shaofeng also discovered that these mechanical puppets were far inferior to the mechanical puppets made by his Demon Cloud Ship.
Although they were all mechanical puppets at the Nirvana Stage, Qin Shaofeng discovered that all the mechanical puppets that appeared in the arena at this moment were basically only at the third level of the Nirvana Stage.
Moreover, these mechanical puppets did not seem to have a strong calculation ability. They were very rigid in battle and did not have much flexibility.
Speaking of which, when Qin Shaofeng's mechanical puppets were fighting, the Demon Cloud Ship was calculating.
It could be said that rather than saying that the mechanical puppets were fighting, it was better to say that the Demon Cloud was fighting!
With the current level of the intelligent flying ship of the Demon Cloud Ship, its own intelligence had reached a terrifying level.
In terms of intelligent calculation ability alone, perhaps even the calculation ability of some 9-star intelligent flying ships was not as powerful as the Demon Cloud Ship.
The intelligent calculation ability of the Demon Cloud Ship was probably so powerful that it was comparable to some of the top 10-star intelligent flying ships.
Therefore, because the mechanical puppets made by the Demon Cloud Ship were calculated by the intelligence of the Demon Cloud Ship, they were very flexible in battle and had endless means. Ordinary mechanical puppets could not compare to them at all.
And most importantly, ordinary mechanical puppets at the third level of the Nirvana Stage had the strongest comprehensive strength of the third level of the Nirvana Stage and had three Pills of Laws.
If such a mechanical puppet fought with a person who also had three Pills of Laws but was at the fifth level of the Nirvana Stage, they would probably be evenly matched.
In fact, the chances of them losing were quite high, even if the mechanical puppet did not have the slightest emotion and could fight without fear of death.
If its calculation ability could not keep up, it was actually very easy to be defeated by people with rich combat experience.
Therefore, it wasn't easy to imitate him!
This was the chuckle that appeared in Qin Shaofeng's heart after seeing the situation in front of him.
But Qin Shaofeng soon discovered that the situation was still developing beyond his expectations.
In the previous arena, although the Demons had a mechanical puppet, his mechanical puppet was only at the third level of the Nirvana Stage.
This opponent was at the peak of the sixth level of the Nirvana Stage who had cultivated four Pills of Laws. It was not enough at all.
Well, that's right!
But if one was not enough, what about ten?
That's right, the Demons did not only have one mechanical puppet, but a total of ten!
Under such circumstances, although the strength of the human was very good, he was gradually unable to withstand the attacks of the ten mechanical puppets who were not afraid of death.
Then …
There was no then. As soon as he realized that he could not defeat the ten mechanical puppets, the human decisively outnumbered them.
After all, the fifth round of the competition was not just a competition. As long as he was not seriously injured and did not die, he still had a chance to advance to the sixth round of the competition.
So, he simply admitted defeat.
In fact, there were still many contestants in the arena at this moment. Among them, there were Demons and Human race. Their opponents were all the Human race and Demons with mechanical puppets.
Looking at this situation, Qin Shaofeng suddenly had a thought in his mind.
Was this still a Nirvana Stage competition?
