Soul Devouring Sword Master

After the words fell, Lin Xiao and others began to draw lots in turn.

According to the rule of three people in a group, one hundred people can be divided into thirty-three groups, and one of the groups will have one more person.

Lin Xiao glanced at the number on his hand, and he was in the tenth group.

"Shenglongtai, open!"

Nangong Shi raised his hand, as if some mechanism was triggered, and the sound of gears rubbing rang out.

Immediately, on this huge square, a series of high platforms slowly rose.

These high platforms are the same size, with a length and width of dozens of feet, enough for fighting.

The so-called Shenglongtai means that those who can stand on it to the end are like a giant dragon rising into the sky, attracting everyone's attention and shining brightly, and will start a different life from now on.

When the Shenglongtai rose, one hundred young men and women looked at each other, and there was a fighting spirit in their eyes. Everyone hoped that they could fight to the end and become a truly rising dragon.

Today, in this imperial city, under the attention of everyone, the real competition of the pride list is about to begin.

Only the most talented among the talented can be on the Pride List and be worthy of being called the Pride of the Star Empire. The most grand battle of talents in the entire Star Empire has begun.

"There are 33 groups, a total of nine battle platforms, divided into four groups for the duel."

"Now, groups one to nine, go on stage!"

As the voice fell, the young men and women from groups one to nine stepped onto the nine battle platforms respectively, while the rest of the people were distributed on different battle platforms to watch the battle.

Lin Xiao also stood casually under a battle platform, observing the battle on it.

Each group has three people, and the three people fight in a round-robin battle. Only one person can win. The winner can be on the Pride List and become one of the top 36.

"Begin!"

As Nangong Shi's voice fell, a roar sounded on the nine battle platforms at the same time, and many powerful auras rushed up, and the battle quickly unfolded.

The remaining 100 people who can pass the preliminary examination are all very powerful. The weakest one has a cultivation level above the eighth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and comprehends the power of the next level.

On the nine battle platforms, the battle was fierce, the energy was radiating, and the fight was unstoppable.

Bang!

Suddenly, a terrible roar sounded on a battle platform, deafening, and for a moment, attracted the attention of many people.

On the battle platform, a young man stood proudly, his eyes like a knife, and the whole person was like a sharp sword, with a sharp aura.

In front of him, a young man in blue was lying on the ground, with blood on the corners of his mouth. He twitched like a dehydrated fish, struggled a few times, but still couldn't stand up.

"Nangong Jian, win!"

On the battle platform, a gray-robed referee said in a calm voice.

"This Nangong Jian is indeed the favorite to win the championship of this year's Pride List. He is a rare monster in the Nangong family for a hundred years. He defeated his opponent not long after the battle began, and it was a miserable defeat. How domineering!"

"Yes, this Nangong Jian is as his name suggests, just like a peerless sword, invincible and unstoppable. I'm afraid no one can stop him from winning the championship."

Around Lin Xiao, many people talked about it. Even though these people were also strong and proud, they still couldn't help but sigh at Nangong Jian's dominance and strength.

The man defeated by Nangong Jian was obviously seriously injured and could not continue to fight. In other words, he could not even participate in the subsequent competitions and was completely out of the Pride List.

The other person who was assigned to Nangong Jian's group gave up the competition directly, conserving his strength and staying until the second round, maybe he would have a chance to grab a seat.

And not long after the battle on Nangong Jian's side ended, another battle stage ended the competition one after another. One after another, about half an hour later, the battles on the nine battle stages were all over.

The winner of each battle stage will directly enter the seat of the Pride List, that is, the top 36, and the two losers, if they can continue to fight, will prepare for the second round of the game to grab the remaining three seats.

"Groups 10 to 18, go on stage!"

As soon as the voice fell, the people in the same group as Lin Xiao got on the battle stage.

The two people in the same group as Lin Xiao happened to be students of the Royal Academy.

"It's really a narrow road for enemies."

Lin Xiao snorted lightly, and saw from the corner of his eye that the two students of the Royal Academy looked at him with strong murderous intent.

In the battle of the Pride List, you can kill people, provided that the other party has not admitted defeat and is still capable of fighting. This is allowed to happen.

In addition, in each Pride List battle, some talents will die on the battle stage, and the family forces of the talents who died in the battle shall not retaliate, otherwise they will be jointly suppressed by other forces. This is a customary rule.

In other words, as long as you act quickly enough, it is not a violation to kill the other party before he has time to admit defeat.

Now, the two students of the Royal Academy had such thoughts in their minds. Before the game, the elders of the Royal Academy had told them that if they met Lin Xiao, they should kill him without mercy. If they could kill him, they would be rewarded greatly.

"Round battle, first match, Wang Tao, against Xu Meng."

In the first match, it was the two students of the Royal Academy who took the field. They stood opposite each other, exchanged glances, rushed towards each other, punched each other, and then both fell to the ground.

Lin Xiao could clearly see that the two of them did not use much force in their attacks, but they both pretended to fall to the ground. It seemed that they were going to save their strength to deal with him.

"Referee, I am injured and can't fight anymore."

"Referee, me too."

The two said at the same time. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was clearly a fake. There was also a booing from the audience, but the two did not care at all.

"In that case, the first match is a draw."

The referee's words made Lin Xiao's pupils shrink slightly. As long as he was not blind, he could see that these two people were obviously playing tricks, but the referee actually turned a blind eye and came to such a result. It was really a rip-off.
