Chapter 3,717: Ten Participants

hey hadn't expected the seemingly mild-mannered young man to be so forceful.Feng Jin first was taken aback, then a flash of excitement crossed his eyes. The more this was the case, the more it suited...This time, Le Tian represented the Lingyun Sword Sect, and Ling Jianfeng became the person in charge.

Though everything behind the scenes was decided by Ye Bufan, at least on the surface he was the headmaster of the entire sect.

That's why he was incredibly excited to come here and participate in the Hundred Doors Tournament twice, attending the council meetings and figuring out the rules. But afterward, he was dumbfounded.

According to the competition requirements, each celestial domain team must have at least ten members. Please submit a list of names.

This requirement is also for a reason, although only five players are on the field at a time, each team has to prepare five substitutes.

Because the group stage inevitably results in injuries, even fatalities on the spot.

To ensure there are still participants in the subsequent Top 100 competition, each team must have sufficient substitutes. This arrangement is also a test of a sect's overall strength.

But the Lingyun Jianzong sect was simply too small, and it was their first time participating. They had no idea about the rules here at all.

When they left, there were only five people: Ling Jianyi, Ling Jianfei, Ling Jiansi, Ye Bufan, and Luo Bingyan. They didn't even have enough people to form a basic team.

Hard-earned, the sect finally had a chance to compete. If they were rejected because of their number of participants, it would probably become a laughingstock throughout the entire Zhongtian domain.

All of this is secondary. The most important thing is that he understands Ye Bufan's importance placed on the Hundred Schools Competition. If, because of his own negligence, he fails to participate, it would be unforgivable.

But there was no way, even if the sect gathered its disciples at this time it would be too late. He could only honestly report to Ye Bufan.

After he finished speaking, Ye Bufan smiled slightly and seemed extremely pleased.

He's always been good at pretending to be weak while secretly being strong. He used to think about how to hide his and his people's strength, but now this rule makes it much easier.

Anyway, Jin Meier and the others all come from the Lower Heaven Realm. No one here is familiar with them, let alone their strength.

At this time, by putting Ling Jianfei and the others on stage, it would just be able to confuse the opponent.

"It's nothing, this is small potatoes. I brought people with me, didn't I"

"Oh!"

Ling Jianfeng glanced at the many women behind Ye Bufan, his eyes flashing with a hint of astonishment.

Although he was the sect master of a small sect, he had seen many female cultivators over the years. He had never seen one as beautiful as this before, nor had he ever seen so many at once.

The key is that none of these people could see through the depths of each other's cultivation, but no matter what, at least there were enough people to allow their master to compete.

Ye Bufan led everyone into the room, took out paper and pen to write down the ten contestants' names on a list, handed it to Ling Jianfeng, and then asked: "Is there anything else"

He didn't originally belong to the Zhongtian domain and had just arrived. He knew nothing about the Hundred Gates Tournament and needed to learn as much information as possible.

"That's how it is..."

Ling Jianfeng put the list away and took out another piece of paper. According to his records, he began to explain the rules of this competition.

This time's Hundred Schools Championship is divided into three rounds. The first round, the group stage, will be held the day after tomorrow.

One hundred sects were divided into ten groups. Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seven Great Families served as seed teams, while others drew lots to form groups.

After the lottery, ten sects with a total of fifty people took to the stage for a melee. The two remaining sects at the end were the ones who advanced.

He said this, Luo Bingyan frowned, "The strength of the three sects, five schools and seven great families is so powerful. They total fifteen families."

Even if we divide them into ten groups, with five of those groups having spots for both of them, wouldn't that be unfair

Normally, the combined power of these fifteen sects would far surpass that of ordinary ones. As long as two of them teamed up, the others could only look on in awe.

It's probably safe to say that the top two spots in this group are already decided before the competition even begins.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The rules are the rules, and in the end, which group you get drawn into is just a matter of luck."

Ling Jianfeng didn't really care about these things. He felt that it was already a success for his sect to be able to represent Leletian to participate in the competition.

As for the group's formation, he had never even considered it before.

Because of their master-servant contract, he had no question about his loyalty to Ye Bufan, but that wouldn't change his thoughts or beliefs.

Although I believe my master's power is immeasurable, it's ultimately still incomparable to those major sects.

Moreover, this is a team battle. One person's strength alone is simply not enough.

Even without the participation of the Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seven Great Clans, the remaining sects' combined strength would likely surpass that of Di Le Tian.

Due to these thoughts, he felt that the Lingyun Sword Sect would ultimately only make it to the group stage, and he didn't have much hope of winning and advancing to the next round.

Ye Bufan didn't care about these things either. The group stage was a must-win for him; he had to participate no matter what, or there would be no chance of entering the Yuan Ancient Secret Realm.

He focused on the rules that followed and continued to ask, "What about after the group stage"

After the group stage, there will be a three-day break followed by the top 100 competition.

Before that, ten teams had won out of twenty sects, and each sect sent five participants, making it another hundred people.

This time it's not a team battle, but a one-on-one duel.

On the first day, fifty battles were fought, and fifty people were selected. On the second day, twenty-five people were selected.

On the third day, one person was given a bye, and then twelve people were selected...

Although he didn't hold much hope, Ling Jianfeng's notes were still very detailed.

This is also an experience, a learning opportunity for him, to clearly explain the rules of the game.

Ye Bufan nodded slightly after listening. The form of the competition wasn't much different. From Earth to the Cultivation World, and then to the Immortal Realm, they were all similar. The key was still to look at one's own strength.

Shen Qiyun said, "Didn't you say that only 100 people can enter the Yuangu Secret Realm"

Although Ling Jianfeng didn't know her, seeing her standing beside Ye Bufan, he didn't dare to be disrespectful. He respectfully said, "Yes, that's right."

After the group stage, one hundred spots had already been decided. What else is there to compare

Shen Qiyue was also visiting Zhongtianyu for the first time and knew nothing about it, so she asked this question.

Ling Jianfeng said: "That's the thing, for powerful sects, it's a foregone conclusion that their teams will advance. They don't care much about it."

What matters more is the upcoming Top 100 competition. It's for the honor of our sect, and also for the prizes offered in the competition.

As for those smaller sects, let alone those who might be fortunate enough to appear, the better they perform, the more likely they are to be favored by the larger sects.

That's why the top 100 showdown that follows is the highlight of this entire battle.

Even members of the Sanzong, Wupai, and Qida families would only send five substitutes to compete in the group stage. The true powerhouses would conserve their strength for the battles to come later.

"Aha!"

Ye Bufan nodded. "Just now you said what the prize for this battle is"

He had also participated in many competitions before, and the final prizes were all quite generous.

Now that we've arrived at the Zhongtian Domain, this Hundred Schools Competition is truly on another level. I believe the prizes will be amazing.

That's what he thought, but Ling Jianfeng's answer was a bit unexpected.nster.They couldn't run away from Ye Tian, could they They had only taken two steps when they were kicked over by a single kick.The others were the same, all knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye...
