Apart from Wan Shan, there were two other disciples from the Demon Clan who were more outstanding in this group.
Linlong did not go all out against the two of them after ensuring that he would be in the top three. In fact, he even lost to one of them.
His final result was that he was in third place, and could enter the next round.
"Although the Sky Demon Sword is very powerful, the strength that Lin Li has shown is not convincing. According to his performance, it will be difficult for him to enter the top 20 in the next round."
"Yeah, there are many hidden talents among the new disciples. Given Lin Li's performance, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything."
Many people commented on Linlong's performance.
Even Su Fei thought so. Hence, after Linlong finished the last round of the group, she immediately comforted him. "Junior Brother, you just have to do your best. After all, you have just entered the Holy Gate. Master and Mentor Han Yueran won't have too high expectations of you."
Upon hearing Su Fei's words, Linlong only smiled without saying a word.
On the other hand, Elder Yin's tensed face relaxed a little upon seeing this situation.
How could he know that Linlong's weakness was just an act?
Due to the large number of rounds in the group, it took a full day for the competition to end.
Hence, the next round could only be carried out on the second day.
Nothing else happened after that, and it was soon the second day.
On the second day, everyone gathered at the training field of the Sky Demon Peak once again.
The only difference was that there were more than a thousand people competing yesterday. Today, there were only 150 people.
The 150 people were divided into 10 groups, with 15 people in each group. Only five people from each group could enter the next round.
The grouping was also based on the level of strength to avoid the situation where all the powerful people were in the same group.
Of course, the grouping was based on the strength that each person displayed normally. It would be a different story if someone deliberately hid his strength from the elders of the Demon Clan.
Once the grouping results were out, Elder Yin's face turned sullen. This was because it was difficult for him to find help from the few powerful people who were in the same group as Linlong.
In this case, he could only hope that Linlong could enter the next round.
However, deep down in his heart, he did not want Linlong to enter the next round, because that would mean that Linlong was talented. If Linlong was allowed to continue developing, it would cause him endless trouble in the future.
It could be said that he was very conflicted.
If he could enter the next round, he would cripple him so that he could no longer cultivate in the future. In the end, such a thought popped up in his mind.
In this way, he would have to pay a huge price. However, when he thought that this was something he had to do, he felt at ease.
Although the average strength of the opponents in the group was stronger than the opponents in the previous round, it was not difficult for Linlong. After all, the true strength of his demonic arts had reached the Martial Overlord Realm. It was not something these people could compare to.
However, Linlong still did not put on a strong performance. Instead, he made it to the top five with some difficulty.
Elder Yin was naturally satisfied with such a situation because Linlong did not seem to have much talent, and it just so happened that he could enter the next round, so he could find someone to deal with.
Just like that, 50 people entered the next round.
In the end, there were only twenty people left, which meant that thirty people had to be eliminated.
"As most of you are not too far apart in terms of strength, we will not use the method of grouping you into groups for this round. Instead, we will let the 50 of you fight each other in pairs, and the winners will directly enter the next round. The 25 people who lose do not mean that they are eliminated. After all, it would be unfair to you if they were eliminated just like that. Therefore, you can compete for the 15 places to enter the next round. "
"In other words, 10 of the 25 people who lost will be eliminated, and the remaining 15 people will enter the next round with the 25 people who won previously. There will be a total of 40 people, and then the 20 places will be decided."
The elder on the stage announced the rules.
After that, they directly drew lots to decide who would be their opponent.
At this moment, most of the 50 people were nervous. After all, there were only a few people who were the most powerful among the 50 people, and they did not want to encounter such a powerful person.
"Junior Brother Lin, Gu Ze is one of the most powerful and talented disciples who have entered in the past two years."
"Zhao Deyun is also one of them."
"And Liang Yong …"
"And Lian Junwu …"
…
Su Fei, who was next to Linlong, introduced him. She mentioned five people in one go, and among the five, only one was a new disciple this year, while the rest had already been in the Demon Sect for a year.
"Oh, who is the strongest among the five?" Linlong asked.
He naturally did not care about the five of them, and he was just asking casually.
"It should be Gu Ze. Gu Ze's mastery of the Black Bone Palm seems to be unmatched among the new disciples. Not only that, his spiritual fire is also the extremely famous Blue Bone Devil Flame."
"I've seen the Blue Bone Devil Flame before, and it is indeed an extremely powerful spiritual fire. However, I heard that what I saw back then was not the strongest killing move of the Blue Bone Devil Flame. Therefore, if you encounter him, you have to be careful, Junior Brother."
Su Fei explained to Linlong in detail.
Just as Su Fei finished speaking, the drawing of lots on the stage began.
The method of drawing lots was very simple. There was a black box on the stage, and there were 50 bamboo sticks in the box. Every bamboo stick had the identity of a disciple written on it.
Then, the elder in charge of drawing lots reached his hand into the black box to draw two sticks at a time, and the people who were drawn at the same time would compete against each other.
This competition would not be as fishy as the previous competitions, because there were many black runes flashing on the black box. It was obvious that it was to prevent the elder in charge of drawing lots from cheating.
"The drawing of lots will begin."
As another elder said that, the elder in charge of drawing lots reached his hand into the black box and drew out two sticks.
After drawing out the sticks, another elder walked over, and the two of them picked up the sticks together to take a look. Then, they said at the same time, "Elder Wang's disciple, Wang Yu, against Elder Mo's disciple, Hao Hongan."
Hearing that, Elder Wang's disciple, Wang Yu's face immediately turned bitter. The reason was simple, Hao Hongan was much stronger than him.
His companion beside him naturally comforted him.
After placing the two bamboo sticks aside, the elder in charge of drawing sticks once again reached into the black box.
