Chapter 428 Battle Rules
After sending Tian Suanzi away, Wu Yan took out the jade slip left by Tian Suanzi, and after a moment of hesitation, he closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to check it.
After a long time, Wu Yan finally opened his eyes and sighed: "Great talent, if this person is the enemy, even if I am strong, I am afraid that I can only win the second place at most, right?"
After reading the strategic analysis left by Tian Suanzi, Wu Yan truly believed that sometimes having the strength to crush absolutely everything does not necessarily make you the final winner, and brain strategy is also an indispensable key factor for winning.
The rules and procedures of the battle assessment are clear and straightforward. If you don't read Tian Suanzi's strategic analysis, according to Wu Yan's style of doing things, he can certainly get the first place, but the final result may be very different from what Tian Suanzi planned.
Although Tian Suanzi already knew that Wu Yan had comprehended the Netherworld, he didn't know Wu Yan's true strength, so he had this strategic plan.
Wu Yan had to admire Tian Suanzi's strategy. According to his strategy, even an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator would probably be able to rank among the top ten. If there are some secret and powerful reliance, it is entirely possible to win the first place.
However, after reading Tian Suanzi's strategy, Wu Yan fell into deep thought. He was considering whether to deal with the battle assessment according to Tian Suanzi's strategy, or to rely entirely on his own tyrannical strength to win the first place.
If he follows Tian Suanzi's strategy, Wu Yan can hide several of his methods, making others unable to figure out his true and false, and at the same time he can win the battle assessment. And according to Wu Yan's usual style, he will use all his methods and crush everything with his tyrannical strength, and finally he can also win the first place. However, in this case, he will inevitably expose several of his secret methods.
Wu Yan pondered.
This battle assessment adopts three modes. Ranking draw battle, free challenge and ranking challenge. According to the victory or defeat, the corresponding performance value points are obtained, and the ranking is determined by the points. For each battle, the leader of the intermediate team will gain 10 points if he wins, and lose 10 points if he loses. For each battle, the leader of the low-level team will change the score by 1 point. During the training period at the Hunting Sea Training Camp, challenges other than the battle assessment will change the score by 1 point regardless of level.
According to the regulations, the first round is a ranking draw battle.
The 64 intermediate team leaders and 120 low-level team leaders are divided into two levels: intermediate battle and low-level battle.
In this first round of ranking draw, there are a total of 32 numbers for the intermediate battle, from number 1 to number 32. Each number has two identical numbers. Each person draws one, and those with the same number will fight, regardless of the realm of cultivation. The same is true for low-level battles.
In this round of battle, the victory or defeat depends on the luck of the number drawn. However, in this round of battle, if you feel that you cannot defeat your opponent, you can take the initiative to admit defeat. In this case, the deduction will be only 5 points, while the defeat will deduct 10 points.
Among the mid-level team leaders, the highest level of cultivation is the late stage of Jindan Great Perfection, while the lowest level is a leader like Wu Yan who has just formed a Jindan. If a team leader in the early stage of Jindan draws the same number as a leader of Xuanyuan Jie, he can only admit defeat. If he chooses to fight, he will lose ten points in the first round for nothing if he loses, and if he actively admits defeat, he will only lose five points.
However, according to this rule, if you want to get the first place, you must win this battle no matter who you meet, otherwise you will not be able to get the first place at all. Because, there are very clear regulations in the following rules. If you lose in the first round of the battle, even if you still have the power and qualifications to challenge, and even if you can get higher points in the future, you will not be able to enter the top ten.
Tian Suanzi explained the importance of this battle very clearly in the jade slip, and of course, Wu Yan could also see the importance of this battle.
This round does not have much technical content, and it seems that there is no other way to cheat except to win the battle. However, Tian Suanzi still found the hidden flaws in it. However, this flaw is a bit shameless, and it requires a thick skin to do it.
That is, the rules mention that if the master who participates in the battle assessment is injured, he can choose to avoid the battle. The master who chooses to avoid the battle is not considered defeated or conceded, but he needs to deduct five points and can still participate in the next round of battle.
This rule seems to be nothing at first glance, but for immortal cultivators, defeat or conceding is not a big deal, but taking the opportunity to avoid the battle is equivalent to being afraid of the opponent and not daring to fight. Not only will he be ridiculed by his peers for life, but it will even leave a shadow in the heart of the cultivator who avoids the battle, affecting the growth of the Tao heart.
Immortal cultivators are different from mortals. On the road of cultivation, if such a shadow is left, it is possible to produce a demon in the heart when encountering a bottleneck in the future, and it will be difficult to advance in the realm of cultivation.
Mortals can be free and easy to take a step back, but immortal cultivators are fighting for a chance with the world and all things, and there is absolutely no way out.
Tian Suanzi mentioned in the strategy he gave Wu Yan that if he encountered a formidable opponent like Xuanyuan Jie, he might as well avoid the battle. The reason why he dared to say this was because Wu Yan's flexible and tolerant character made him see that Wu Yan would never care about the gains and losses of the moment.
However, Tian Suanzi didn't know Wu Yan well enough. If he really encountered such a situation, how could Wu Yan choose to be tolerant and give in? Even if he couldn't win and both sides were hurt in the end, it would at most be a draw.
The second round was a free challenge.
The winner of the first round must accept two challenges from the leader who lost in the first round in the second round, which is considered to be two opportunities for the loser in the first round to turn back to the losing situation. Similarly, the leader who accepts the challenge can also choose to admit defeat or avoid the battle, and will be deducted five points accordingly.
This free challenge mode also rarely has the opportunity to take shortcuts. The challenged still needs to be strong and keep the victory after winning the first round. However, if the challenge in this round can be held firm, it is equivalent to accumulating 30 points of record value.
Interestingly, there is another challenge opportunity in this second round of free challenge.
After the free challenge is over, there will be a ranking of the 32 strongest team leaders. According to the rules, the highest score of these 32 strongest team leaders will be 30 points, and the lowest score should also be 10 points.
These 32 winners will start a new round of free challenges again. Everyone has two opportunities to challenge, regardless of ranking, and can challenge at will. But the interesting thing about this round of challenge is that all the points of those who fail the challenge will be lost at once and added to the winner of the challenge.
However, in this round of challenge, the opposing commander can also choose to admit defeat or avoid the battle, and the points deducted are also five points.
I believe that in this round of challenge, there will definitely be many people who will choose to take shortcuts, and if they cannot win, they will choose to admit defeat.
However, according to normal development, most of the thirty people on the genius monk list should be able to be among the thirty-two places.
All the young monks on the genius monk list are heroes and geniuses. How could they be willing to admit defeat or avoid fighting? Even if they lose, they will choose to fight.
This is interesting. If these people are not careful in this round, they are very likely to lose all the advantages they have gained before and end up with zero points.
However, according to normal calculations, even if he gets zero points, he is still among the top thirty-two. After all, in the first and second rounds of battles, those losers may have negative points.
After these two rounds of repeated battles and challenges, the order of high and low scores can basically be ranked.
According to the rules, based on this ranking, all the Lords will start to compete for the final ranking. This is the beginning of the third round of ranking challenges.
This ranking challenge means that the lower ranked ones have a chance to challenge one of the challengers in front of them.
In this ranking challenge, there is no avoidance. If you avoid the battle, it means that you will give up your position to the challenger directly, and you will also lose the opportunity to challenge again. If you lose or admit defeat, you will also have a chance to challenge the previous Lord.
In this ranking battle, the points deducted for winning, losing and admitting defeat are the same as the free challenge in the second round. The loser loses all the points, which are added to the winner. The loser loses five points, but loses the ranking position.
Because, after the battle, the corresponding points will be added to the position of this row. The 32nd place will be added 10 points, and the first place will be 320 points.
This is also to avoid appearing among the losers in the first round. If there is a master with a positive score, his score will exceed the 32nd place.
Such a clear and seemingly complicated rule can avoid various abnormal situations. The monk who formulated this rule is really thoughtful.
After thinking for several hours, Wu Yan finally understood this rule thoroughly and made a decision in his heart.
Immediately, he walked out of the training room, found Tan Chao, asked him about the recent movements in Liehai City, and asked him to pay close attention to everything related to the battle assessment.
Tan Chao took the order and left, and Wu Yan went to the cultivation room. A month later, the demon-attracting grass in the cultivation room was not only mature, but also reached the level of hundreds of years under the promotion of the fairy green soil.
Just now, Tian Suanzi's "Earth Abyss Monkey" was able to smell its scent, which means that there are still loopholes in the partition array in the cultivation room. Although the cultivators cannot detect the slightest scent of the demon-attracting grass, it is obvious that some demon beasts with a natural keen sense of smell cannot be hidden.
In order to prevent accidents, Wu Yan decided to seal up these demon-attracting grasses and store them in the Qingniu bag.
