The opening ceremony of the Divine Mystery Competition was quite grand.
It was a huge venue, and the seats around it were filled with people. It was divided into five regions, and each region was filled with people from a region.
Because this was the first time the five regions had jointly organized a competition, it attracted too many spectators. Other than the large number of spectators in Divine Mystery, people from other regions had flown in to watch.
As for those who did not manage to get tickets, they could only sit at home and watch the live broadcast.
In the middle of the entire venue was a large open space. According to the size of this open space, it should be able to appear in more than ten different battlegrounds at the same time. Each battleground was automatically raised and lowered, and the type of battleground was randomly selected by the competition authorities.
Because there were a lot of participants this time, there were trainers from five regions who had gathered eight badges.
Therefore, the rules of the competition were relatively simple. It was a straight elimination round. The winner would advance, and the loser would be eliminated.
Originally, the competition system that the people from the Alliance Headquarters had customized was to use one sprite for each match before the top 128, and the winner would be determined in one match.
However, in the end, it was directly rejected by some higher-ups in the Alliance, and the reason was that it was not stable enough.
Therefore, the final results were announced for the matches before the top 128. Each person would use two sprites for a one-on-one battle. The winner would advance, and the loser would be eliminated.
Then, from the top 128 onwards, three sprites would be used as the upper limit for one-on-one battles. The winner would advance.
From the top 32 onwards, four sprites would be used as the upper limit for one-on-one battles.
After entering the top 16, it would be a standard one-on-one battle between six sprites.
In the end, it was different from other competitions. When it came to the semi-finals, it would be a full-on battle.
When Aoki found out about the latest rules of the competition, he had to admit that the current rules were indeed much better. Although it might take a little longer, at least no one would complain that they had accidentally lost the match, that they were actually stronger, and so on …
If both sprites lost, there would be no reason to find.
And in the final full-on battle, it could be seen that the Alliance was actually looking for trainers who could engage in actual combat, and not those who only knew how to fight between trainers.
Some people were very powerful in battle, but in a life-or-death battle, they were very embarrassing because they did not know how to fight.
The shrinking of the Rocket Team gave the Alliance an opportunity. The goal of this competition was to find some good seedlings to nurture and become one of the main forces to compete with the Rocket Team in the future.
Fighting against the Rocket Team, of course, required the ability to fight to the death.
Other than that, the competition naturally had rewards. Otherwise, how could it attract people?
From the top 64 onwards, there would be different prizes depending on the ranking. As for the specific details of the prizes, the Alliance was very sneaky and didn't announce it. Instead, they said that they would only announce it bit by bit after the top 64 was out.
This increased the suspense.
However, everyone knew that the Divine Mystery Competition would affect the distribution of resources in the Alliance.
Compared to the allocation of resources, the rewards of these so-called contestants were simply negligible.
No one in this world could calculate how many resources the Alliance had. Even the president of the Little Elf Alliance, who was sitting at the top of the Silver Mountain, couldn't say for sure.
In any case, if the Alliance said that they wouldn't mistreat the participants, then they wouldn't mistreat them.
As the representatives of Fengyuan District, Aoki and the others stood stupidly on the podium in the middle of the arena during the opening ceremony.
Other than them, the people from the other five regions were the same.
Among these people, Aoki could vaguely find a few familiar faces.
For example, Isshu of the Four Heavenly Kings of the future city, Kena of the Guan Dong region, Wanlong of the United Zhong region, and Kalosi's Kalunai region. Needless to say, the leader of the Shenao region was Sirona, who Aoki was familiar with.
In fact, Aoki was quite surprised that Kena from Guandong District would be the leader of this competition.
Was he slightly older than Kena?
Aoki couldn't remember.
However, since Kena was participating in the competition, those who specialized in Dragon Elves would start to tremble in fear.
From this group of people standing on the podium, one could see how intense the competition was. Aoki was really worried about Daigo. Could he make it to the top three?
However, as the leader of Fengyuan District, Daigo, who had an extraordinary temperament, didn't think so.
In his mind, even if he couldn't make it to the top three, they still had Aoki. They had double insurance, so it should be more stable for them to make it to the top three this time.
As for the result … Who knew?
The host talked a lot, and the people on and off the podium started to feel sleepy. Only then did he officially announce the start of the Divine Mystery Competition.
Aoki and the others were too flashy. It was not good for them to participate in this competition. In fact, it was bad for them everywhere. In the future, people who met them would have to put in 120% effort to defeat them. If they didn't have outstanding strength, the later battles would be troublesome.
In the end, the total number of participants was calculated. There were almost 4,000 people, which meant that there were more than 800 people from each district participating in the competition.
Of course, it couldn't be calculated that way. The Guandong District and Chengdu District, which were still counted together, definitely had the most people, almost one-third of them. The Carlos District, which had just joined the Alliance, had the least people, less than one-tenth of them.
As a local, the Divine Mystery District had the second most people.
Fengyuan District was the third most people.
But no matter what, since there were more than 4,000 people participating in the competition, even if it was an elimination round, Aoki would have to fight at least five times before he could officially make it to the top 128.
The five matches went by quickly, but it was obvious that only a dozen matches could be held at the same time. In the first round, to eliminate more than 4,000 people to 2,000 people, they would have to fight nearly 2,000 matches. It would take a long time to wait.
Aoki felt that he was a little anxious. It seemed that after the first round, there would be many days of rest.
Many of the elves could also be reconditioned.
There was a lot to say during the opening ceremony, but the competition started just in time.
As the contestants from each district, of course, they would be the first few to start the competition in the first round.
Their opponents would be randomly selected by the competition's computer.
It was said that it was absolutely fair and just.
Others might believe it, but Aoki definitely didn't.
Was it a joke?
Everything else aside, if the competition was held in the Divine Mystery District, wouldn't the Divine Mystery Alliance do something?
Aoki didn't believe it.
It could be seen from the contestants in the first round.
In the first round, Shenao District's Shenhe District's Sirona versus Guandong District's Hualan City's Xiao Fang.
