No one would have thought that the second team to be eliminated would be the Jerusalem City Academy led by the Saintess.
Before this, whenever there was a Saintess, Jerusalem would always be in the top three. However, this time, they were the second team to be eliminated, right after Los Angeles.
When Ashma left, she was very calm, as if being the second to be eliminated did not make her feel that bad at all.
This was because Ashma knew that although the Elite Eight Academies Tournament this time was full of powerhouses of the younger generation, there were actually more than 10 famous sword-level contestants.
However, with so many famous sword-level sword-bearers, most of them were just pitiful participants. The real champion would still have to be chosen between those two.
However, before leaving, Ashma suddenly approached Liunian Ling, then lowered her head and whispered something in her ear.
This was the first time that the Saintess of Jerusalem had spoken to someone alone in the Elite Eight Academies Tournament.
The content of their conversation aroused the curiosity of the audience, but unfortunately, no one knew what they said.
Ashma left in the end, which meant that Jerusalem Academy had failed. This was a topic that the audience would usually discuss for a long time, but at this moment, it did not cause any waves. This was because everyone's attention was on the next contestant. The pride of the people of Yan Jing, Miss Liunian Ling, was finally going to show everyone her strength.
Seeing that their pride, Liunian Ling, stood up, the audience cheered. They began to wonder who Liunian Ling would choose as her opponent.
In theory, Liunian Ling did not have many choices. She could only choose from Guhan, Leslie Dracula, and Andreevich, who were on the first and second levels.
Of course, Liunian Ling could also choose from a contestant on the third or fourth level … However, this was meaningless. If she won, she would not be promoted, but if she lost, she would be eliminated … although it was impossible for Liunian Ling to be eliminated.
"I want to challenge Yan Jing City's contestant, Passerby B."
To everyone's surprise, Liunian Ling's opponent was not the three people on the first two levels, but Passerby B., who was from the same academy as her.
Of course, there was nothing much to say. Passerby B was naturally defeated.
However, it wasn't an ugly defeat. It actually lasted a full five minutes under Liunian Ling's attack before Liunian Ling destroyed its protective shield.
Of course, this was the result of Liunian Ling deliberately suppressing her strength. Liunian Ling only used the simplest of sword techniques to fight. She didn't use any skills during the entire fight, so it wasn't surprising that a passerby could last for five minutes.
"Big brother, can you analyze why Miss Linlin wants to challenge our own people from Yan Jing City?" The cameramen all asked the experienced cameraman with the clairaudient.
Faced with this question, the clairaudient cameraman could only shrug his shoulders, indicating that he did not know either.
However, what the audience did not understand was why Liunian Ling did not challenge Leslie Dracula and Guhan, whom she could easily defeat. Instead, she chose to challenge her own people.
What was Liunian Ling up to?
The audience could not understand at all.
Next was Leticia's turn. Like Liunian Ling, Leticia chose to challenge her own people, Xiao Bai, to maintain the current order.
As a result, Guhan was the only one left who did not challenge.
In fact, Guhan, who was sitting on the first level, was the most miserable one because there was no benefit to his battles. No matter who he challenged, no matter who he won or lost, the outcome would not change.
"I challenge Yan Jing City's contestant, Passerby B!"
Passerby B was probably the most tragic guy. He was challenged by Liunian Ling and Guhan respectively. In addition to the time he challenged Guhan, he had already gone through three battles.
Of course, the outcome did not need to be written down. Passerby B naturally failed for the third time.
"I've been defeated by His Majesty Guhan twice in a row. It shows that I'm a very special person in His Majesty's heart!" Many years later, the old passerby B boasted to his grandchildren.
…
At this point, the first round of the second round of challenges had ended. Jin Yujia, Munich, Ashima, Abdullah, and Beckham were eliminated one after another. As a result, the contestants on the fourth level had to challenge each other for one more round to determine the last three to be eliminated.
After another round of matches that seemed very intense to the audience, but were somewhat boring to Guhan and the other sword bearers, Passerby A, Bell Grylls, and Xiao Bai were eliminated.
"Guhan has obtained 24 points, Leslie Dracula has obtained 22 points, Andrevic has obtained 22 points, Leticia has obtained 18 points, Liunian Ling has obtained 18 points, and Passerby A has obtained 18 points," the host announced the final result.
The order after the competition was as follows: Guhan was still sitting on the first level.
Leslie Dracula and Andrevic were sitting on the second level, while Leticia, Liunian Ling, Harry Chang Ruo, and Passerby B were sitting on the third level.
As a result, two of the eight base cities had been completely eliminated, and the remaining base cities only had their trump cards still sitting on the thrones. Only Yan Jing City had two people left.
Based on the total score of all the base cities, Yan Jing City rushed to the first place with a total score of 74 points.
Yuzhang City's 68 points followed closely behind, followed by London City's 60 points, Berlin City's 54 points, Moscow City's 42 points, and Buenos Aires City's 32 points were at the bottom.
Realizing this result, Leslie Dracula could not help but feel a little anxious. She was aiming for the second place, but why was her base city already in the last place? If this continued, she might be eliminated in the next round.
However, Leslie Dracula could rest assured, because the third round of the Eight Academies Tournament was not a simple elimination round. It was also the only round in the five rounds that did not require elimination.
However, one must not underestimate this round, because the points of this round would be separated from the fixed 24 points system. It was the only round in the tournament where one could freely score points, and it was the only round in which one had to leave the thrones to play.
The name of the third round was: hide-and-seek.
As the name suggested, this was a game called hide-and-seek that only children would play.
However, this competition did not require the contestants to find any treasures, but their own Sword Ladies.
As everyone knew, the strength of a sword bearer's ability had a lot to do with the tacit understanding between him and his Sword Lady. Therefore, this competition was actually a test of the tacit understanding between the sword bearer and the Sword Lady, as well as the sword bearer's ability to deduce the details of the clues.
After the competition began, the sword bearer would first release a Sword Lady, and the staff of the organizing committee would take her away.
The sword bearer would then drink a bowl of Chuhe Soup to temporarily cut off the connection between himself and the Sword Lady.
Then, the Sword Lady would be given a hundred hiding places by the organizing committee as her hiding place. The organizing committee would then mix this hiding place among the hundred different places, allowing the sword bearer to find where his Sword Lady was.
Because of the Chuhe Soup, all the contestants' dimensional pockets could not be used. At the same time, the contestants were also prohibited from using any private transportation. If they wanted to go somewhere, they would have to take the public transportation system or simply rely on their own pair of fat legs to find the Sword Lady.
Yanjing City was incomparably huge. If one wanted to run around with their own pair of fat legs, it was estimated that it would be impossible to go to all the hundred places in ten days and ten nights. There should be no more than five places that the contestants could really find.
Therefore, this required the sword bearer to guess their Sword Lady's preferences … Otherwise, even if they broke their own legs, they would not be able to find their own Sword Lady.
"After the competition begins, each of you will have 60 points. Every three minutes that pass, one point will be deducted. When you find your Sword Lady, your points will be fixed, and you will also receive the fixed points.
If you still do not find anything after three hours, then the competition will be declared over, and you will naturally not get any points. "
The host explained the rules for obtaining points one last time. Then, a staff member handed a slip of paper with a clue to Guhan, and the competition officially began.
After that, every contestant received a message on their personal terminal. The message listed 100 places, and Guhan had to find the place his Sword Lady would choose from among the 100 places.
"Qingpin, oh Qingpin, it's finally time for you to be of use!" Guhan glanced at the 100 places and revealed a trace of a gratified smile.
It was indeed a correct choice for him to send Qingpin as his Sword Lady to participate in the competition.
While Guhan was observing these places, the other contestants rushed out like arrows released from a bow, and began to madly rush towards the first place they had determined.
Guhan, on the other hand, leisurely walked out of the Martial Arts Arena.
What place would Qingpin, that adorably annoying glutton, choose?
Guhan did not need a brain to guess. Naturally, it would be something related to eating, and furthermore, it would be something related to meat.
And among the 100 places, Guhan immediately saw the name of a Chanel Pork Restaurant. What else was there to guess?
Qingpin would definitely choose that place and eat without restraint.
The only pity was that this Chanel Pork Restaurant was a bit far from the Martial Arts Arena. It would probably take Guhan half an hour to get there on the city rail.
Forget it, if it was far, then so be it.
Guhan shook his head and hurriedly took the city rail. Sure enough, after half an hour, he arrived at the Chanel Pork Restaurant that was still open for business.
Through the glass from afar, Guhan could vaguely see a small figure directly sitting at the table, grabbing the pork and eating to his heart's content.
"Qingpin …" But when Guhan walked into the restaurant and stood next to the table, he was shocked to find that the person eating and drinking to his heart's content wasn't Qingpin at all, but someone else that Guhan had never thought of.
"Gu Xuanwu, why are you here?"
