The contest for the top eight will be held in three days. The goal is to give all participants a buffer period so that everyone can adjust to their best condition.
In these three days, everyone seized the time to recover. No one ran out to drink anymore.
The entire Haotian City was bustling with activity. The final result of the twelve joint examinations affected everyone's hearts.
The liveliest place was the teahouse. Some of the qualified storytellers were vividly describing the fierce battles of the Twelve Sect Joint Examination in the teahouse.
Some of the storytellers had some martial arts strength and had personally gone to see it. The truth of what they said was closer to reality.
There were also some storytellers who hadn't been to the Haoran Mountain Range, but based on some rumors, they added water and ingredients to themselves, causing their saliva to fly everywhere, causing the audience to be intoxicated.
The merchants of Haotian City saw great business opportunities and immediately suspended all the businesses. They also hired a talkative gentleman to read books.
Weapons stores, spirit herb stores, and even auction houses had all been temporarily converted into storytelling libraries.
However, this was still unable to satisfy the large number of residents of Haotian City. If they wanted to listen to a book from the joint entrance exam, the ticket prices would soar all the way, making the merchants earn a lot of money.
Although the trump card army of Haojing had left, they had also sent a few envoys. They had witnessed the process of half a dozen consecutive examinations.
So far, the Haojing side was quite satisfied with the current situation. At least seven disciples of the Haoran Sect had entered the top 16.
Although the final result had not yet been announced, the current situation was still within acceptable limits.
The the Murong Clan found Xiang Nan and gave him a high evaluation of his performance.
Murong Zheng personally brought Murong Chongshan's instructions to Xiang Nan and said that no matter what Xiang Nan wanted during the joint examination, the the Murong Clan would do their utmost to help him.
However, Xiang Nan did not ask for anything. Firstly, what he needed was a formula to enhance his resistance to electricity. The the Murong Clan did not have such a thing.
Secondly, Xiang Nan only played a part with Murong Wanqing, so he really didn't have the face to ask for things from the the Murong Clan , so as not to get involved too deeply.
The person in charge of the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan in Haotian City retrieved the arena that had been "injured" by Xiang Long and went back to work overtime to repair it. At the same time, he used six artificers to work together.
The Nature Sect's Zaohua Peak provided the top 16 disciples of the Nature Sect with an unlimited amount of Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, Rejuvenation Pills, and so on.
The other four outer sect disciples who were lucky enough to enter the top 16 were receiving secret training from the elders. It was impossible for them to increase their strength within three days, but the elders carefully observed the battle patterns of the Haoran Sect and the Heavenly Profound Sect disciples.
He analyzed the situation and passed on the experience to the four outer sect disciples to prepare them for battle.
The next battle for the top eight was about to begin. Regardless of whether it was the commoners, the commercial clans, or the various sects, they were all busy preparing.
Soon, three days had passed, and the battle for the top eight was about to begin!
The top sixteen disciples appeared in the midst of the anticipation of the crowd, and they were greeted with enthusiastic applause and shouts.
When Xiang Nan arrived at the valley, he discovered that the number of spectators had almost doubled!
Because of the appearance of Tian Xuan Sect disciples in the Twelve Sect Joint Examination, this matter could be said to be unstoppable. The rumors quickly leaked out, and this increased the drama and enjoyment of the Twelve Sect Joint Examination.
A large number of second-and third-grade sects in the The Haotian Empire , as well as many martial arts clans that did not belong to the sect, also rushed over when they heard the news.
Originally, the mountain peaks on both sides of the valley were filled with nearly 100,000 spectators. Now, even the cliffs of the valley were filled with people, and nearly 160,000 people were watching.
Fortunately, the battle zone in the final 16 had shrunk, and the Nature Sect had closed the barrier to one-fifth of its original size, allowing more people to watch the match at close range.
According to Haojing's thoughts, it was not allowed to let more spectators in. It was best to let as few spectators as possible. However, the Haoran Sect had burned the boat this time, so they decided to let go.
This time, the compet. I.tion list mechanism of the top 16 had changed. After the 16 contestants drew lots, the compet. I.tion groups were directly displayed in the form of a list.
The top 16 were divided into two groups of eight, and the eight winners entered the final four battles.
The first match: Feng Zhaoqi versus Zhanli; Game 2: Xiang Nan vs. Chen Hao; The third match: Chu Yan versus Gu Mulan; The fourth match was between Hong Bin and Xiang Long.
The list of the two groups was as follows: The first match: Shen Linhai versus Xu Bufan; Second match: Murong Wanqing versus Zhang Zongwei; The third match: Jiang Cheng versus Qian Jun; Game 4: Jiang Yu versus Yi Dong.
The top 16 matches were divided into two days. On the first day, a group of contestants fought. On the second day, two groups of contestants appeared on the stage. They were all finished in two days.
And the audience gave the highest enthusiasm to the first group!
The reason for that was because the two people in the first match of the first group were two heavyweight Sword Dao experts, Feng Zhaoqi and Spread out !
A clear list of battles allowed everyone to have a more intuitive understanding of the battle process.
In particular, this battle would become crucial, because this battle would determine the top eight contestants.
The top ten disciples of the Twelve Sects Joint Examination will receive an Earth Grade Intermediate Grade Martial Skill, an Earth Grade High Grade Weapon, and a Grade Five medicinal pill! With a mysterious reward.
As long as he could win one match in the final sixteen, he would be able to obtain those rewards steadily.
Very quickly, Elder Shi Beihong announced that the final 16 tournament would officially begin amidst the cries of the audience!
In the first battle, Feng Zhaoqi fought against Spread out .
The two of them had already stepped onto the newly repaired arena, and a great battle was about to break out.
Feng Zhaoqi held the longsword in his arms, while Spread out , who was standing opposite him, held the longsword in his hand. The sharp gazes of the two of them collided with intense sparks in midair.
"We've finally met." Spread out raised his sword and pointed at Feng Zhaoqi, "If I remember correctly, that was the last time you saved Li Qingchuan."
Feng Zhaoqi held the longsword in his arms and said, "This sword was once defeated by you, but there will never be a second time."
"Alright, now I declare that the first match of the first group of the final 16 will officially begin!" The referee raised his right hand high and swiftly slashed down.
Just as the signal for the match sounded, Feng Zhaoqi and Spread out opened fire!
At the same time, sword intent erupted from the two of them, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
"I've seen some this time." Xiang Nan took a deep breath and looked forward to the next battle.
Murong Wanqing and the others nodded in succession, but they were no longer in the mood to chat. Everyone's eyes were nervously staring at the arena.
On the arena, Feng Zhaoqi and Spread out were already walking towards each other.
When the two of them reached a distance of ten meters, Feng Zhaoqi took a step forward. He held the scabbard in his left hand and grabbed the hilt in his right.
The sword in Spread out 's hand quietly disappeared.
Ding ding ding ding ding!
A series of intense and crisp collisions resounded in the air!
However, in the eyes of the spectators and most of the contestants, they were unable to see the movements of those two people drawing their swords!
Feng Zhaoqi still maintained the posture of drawing his sword. Only an inch of his sword was exposed, while the sword in Spread out 's hand was still missing.
However, the dense sound of metal colliding in the air meant that not only did they attack, they also attacked at an extremely fast speed!
