"1860 points."
Just like that, the highest score in the history of the Octagon Tournament was born. He had a gap of almost 900 points from the second place. This almost meant that such a high score would never be born again in the future.
Although some of the top students might be able to get such a score, such top students were usually in their twenties or thirties.
More importantly, they were not sword bearers … Even if there were a few rare top students who became sword bearers, it was impossible to become a treasure sword bearer within a year and obtain the minimum qualification to participate in the Octagon Tournament.
Therefore, unless a sword bearer who was even more talented than Guhan was born in the future, this record would probably be maintained for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Whether it was the stands around the arena or in front of the TV, all the spectators were silent. They had already realized that they might have witnessed a record that would last for hundreds or even thousands of years … They should have jumped excitedly to celebrate the birth of this record, but when they remembered that this record was created by the Yuzhang guy and that he had even pushed the proud Liunian Family of Yan Jing City to second place, these spectators could not be happy at all.
"What? It's just an exam, not real strength. What's there to be proud of?" These spectators could only comfort themselves like this to ease the unhappiness in their hearts.
However, the way they looked at Guhan had changed. From the previous complete disdain to extreme caution, it was obvious that the people of Yan Jing City had begun to look at this rising powerhouse in a new light, just like the people of Yuzhang City.
"Abdul Muhammad, ranked 23rd; Olaf, ranked 22nd; O 'Neal, ranked 21st; Obama, ranked 20th; and George H.W. Bush, ranked 19th, please leave the arena."
The host's indifferent voice rang through the entire martial arts arena. Three contestants had already chosen positions that were not in line with them and ended up being eliminated. In addition, there was also Ju Lvren, who had forfeited. Therefore, the last five contestants must all be eliminated at this time.
Abdul Mohammed, who was originally in sixth place, had replaced his place with Ashima, so the contestant who was originally at the top of the rankings had no choice but to dejectedly leave the arena.
The most unlucky ones were the Los Angeles Skeleton Brothers. These three unlucky kids did not even have the right to participate in the second round of the tournament. They were all eliminated.
As a result, UCLA ended up in last place, which was one place lower than last year's result. The Sword Spirit, who was leading the team from UCLA, was so angry that his face was as black as charcoal. He left the arena without saying a word.
However, the Skeleton Brothers did not seem that sad. Instead, they laughed and hugged each other's shoulders, ready to end their experience.
However, when the three Skeleton Brothers were preparing to leave the martial arts practice field from the side door, a man dressed in black clothes blocked their way.
"Hello, I am the Sword Spirit of Gui Hall," the Sword Spirit of Gui Hall said to the three Skeleton Brothers while holding a small book in his hand.
…
"Guhan has obtained 24 points, Jin Yujia has obtained 22 points, Harry Chang Ruo has obtained 22 points, Ladia has obtained 18 points, Liunian Ling has obtained 18 points, Andreevich has obtained 18 points, Munich has obtained 18 points, Liubai has obtained 10 points, Ashima has obtained 10 points, Abdullah has obtained 10 points, Beckham has obtained 10 points, Bear Grylls has obtained 10 points, Passerby A has obtained 10 points, Passerby B has obtained 10 points, and Leslie Dracula has obtained 10 points."
The host announced the scores of the contestants according to the results of the first round. The points were based on different levels. Guhan, who sat on the first level, had obtained 24 points.
The person on the second level had obtained 22 points, the person on the third level had obtained 18 points, and the person on the fourth level had obtained 10 points.
However, some people might find it strange. Liunian Ling had obtained the second place overall, so naturally, she should have obtained 23 points. Why did An Zhao, who was in the fourth place, obtain 20 points?
This was related to the order that Liunian Ling had chosen at the beginning. According to the rules of the organizing committee, after each round, the order would be filled up according to the original order.
In other words, the order would be filled according to the original order, and then the order would be filled according to the results.
For example, after Leslie Dracula's position on the second level was vacated, the contestant with the best result on the third level would be chosen. In other words, Harry Chang Ruo would be placed on the second level instead of Liunian Ling, who was in the second place but sat on the fourth level.
Of course, since Liunian Ling had the best result on the fourth level, Liunian Ling would be placed on the third level first.
That was the general rule. If one still didn't understand it, then there was no need to think about it.
The remaining contestants on the thrones ascended according to the order of their ranking, and the first four levels were all filled up.
The vacated fifth level was quickly cleaned up by the staff, leaving only the empty steps there, as if narrating the unwillingness of all the contestants.
Among the remaining contestants, Leslie Dracula was probably the most unwilling. This proud little girl had never expected that after the first round of the competition, she would be the only contestant left in the whole of Buenos Aires. Moreover, she was in the last place among the remaining 15 contestants of Bright Moon. She was already on the verge of being eliminated in the next round. This situation was simply terrible.
Of course, if Leslie Dracula was a little more open-minded, she would be very happy to find that at least her seventh place was secured. Compared with last year's result, she had improved by one place. Anyway, it was still an improvement … From the second place to the first place, it was only one place.
"Yuzhang University's total score is 46 points; Berlin College's total score is 46 points; London College's total score is 42 points; Yanjing College's total score is 38 points; Jerusalem College's total score is 20 points; Moscow College's total score is 18 points; Buenos Aires College's total score is 10 points."
The host then reported the total score of each college. After five rounds of competition, the college with the highest total score would be awarded the honor of first place in the Eight-Academy Tournament.
Originally, in the eyes of the people of Yanjing City, Yanjing College's total score should have been the first place.
However, they didn't expect Guhan, the Yuzhang guy, to suddenly interfere, causing Liunian Ling, who originally had an unparalleled score, to only get 18 points, placing her in the fourth place overall.
And damn Yuzhang University and Berlin College were tied for first place. Even a college like London College could be ranked third. It was really too unfair for them to be above Yanjing College.
Of course, most of the audience didn't think that even if Liunian Ling got first place, her total score would only be 44 points. She was still two points behind Berlin College and could only be ranked second.
"Don't worry, this is only the first round. Yanjing College will catch up very soon. It's no big deal!" The clairaudient cameraman comforted the people around him.
The people around him also nodded with grief and indignation. Our Yanjing College just made a mistake. We will definitely be able to catch up later.
…
"The second round is the ranking challenge.
Every contestant has the right to issue a challenge. If you issue a challenge to an opponent with a higher ranking than you, if you win, the higher ranking contestant will be eliminated. At the same time, you will have the opponent's ranking.
If you lose, your ranking will not change and you will not be eliminated.
If you issue a challenge to an expert who is lower or equal to your ranking, if you win, your ranking will not change and you will not be eliminated. If you lose, the opponent will have your ranking and you will be eliminated. "
"If eight people are not eliminated after one round, then the contestants on the fourth floor will be eliminated individually."
"Once the number of eliminated people reaches eight, the second round of the competition will end. The eliminated contestants can also exchange seats with other contestants from the same college and remain in the ranking throne.
Challenges will be initiated by the contestants on the fourth floor. "
The host explained the rules of the second round of the competition clearly, and then the second round of the competition officially began.
"Leslie Dracula, please start your ranking challenge!" The host continued. Unexpectedly, the first to issue a challenge was actually Leslie Dracula.
However, because she had exchanged seats with Bush, who was originally ranked 18th, she was naturally ranked last after Bush was eliminated. Naturally, she was the first to issue a challenge.
Leslie Dracula looked at the fourteen contestants behind her and fell into deep thought. She suddenly didn't know who she should challenge.
According to the method of elimination, the first person to be eliminated was Liunian Ling. Leslie Dracula had once fought with Liunian Ling when she was traveling in Buenos Aires.
At that time, both of them were under 18 years old, and neither of them was a sword wielder. Just based on the ancient martial arts that they used, Leslie Dracula clearly realized the gap between her and Liunian Ling, not to mention that Liunian Ling had a super sword art like the Billion Sword Spell.
The second person to be eliminated was Andreevich.
Leslie Dracula had seen Andreevich's fighting video.
Andreevich's fighting style naturally restrained her. Although Leslie Dracula didn't think that she was weaker than Andreevich, he was only on the third floor. There was no need to take the risk to challenge such a guy.
In fact, Leslie Dracula told herself that she should challenge Guhan. However, when she was about to say Guhan's name, she inexplicably hesitated from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that she didn't want to see Guhan be eliminated.
"Forget it. I'll be safer and challenge another contestant from Yuzhang City." Therefore, Leslie Dracula set her eyes on Jin Yujia.
"I want to challenge Jin Yujia from Yuzhang University!" Leslie Dracula said loudly.
