"Stop being wordy and listen to what the elder has to say!" Someone frowned and couldn't help scolding his companions who were whispering around him.

Everyone stopped talking and listened carefully.

The silver-robed elder said solemnly: "Today's draw will be divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D. Each group will draw lots separately and then conduct an internal competition. The last ten will be directly selected to enter tomorrow's final test!"

"What?"

"It's actually like this!"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this. Although the rules had not changed in essence, they were still a little different from what they expected.

If it is only divided into two groups: gold and silver, basically everyone is likely to fight against another person, but if it is divided into four groups, the number of opponents will be greatly reduced.

Although there is no essential difference, for those warriors with mediocre strength, they may encounter far fewer opponents.

But this situation made them completely unhappy.

After all, there are only a few extremely powerful geniuses. If all are drawn in a mixed manner, the chance of them encountering such a strong person is relatively small. If they are lucky, it will not be difficult to go a few more rounds.

But judging from the current rules, their luck doesn't seem to be that good.

Although theoretically speaking, if the number of people is relatively reduced, the chance of encountering a strong person will also be relatively reduced, but in reality this is not the case!

There were only 320 warriors participating in today's competition, divided into four groups, that is, 80 people in each group.

These eighty people will draw lots internally to compete, and the winner will be decided in just three rounds. They cannot avoid those powerful beings at all.

And if according to the original rules, all 320 people are mixed and drawn, they still have a certain chance of encountering opponents who are not very strong, and they will be lucky enough to enter tomorrow's final test.

But looking at the current situation, this situation is almost impossible.

"Alas! How could this happen?"

"Hmph! I think they are targeting warriors from second-rate sects and aristocratic families like us!"

"That's right! You don't say anything on the surface, but you still use these rules to rob us everywhere and force us to be eliminated!"

"Haha, you warriors from second-rate sects and aristocratic families think so, what should we warriors from small affiliated countries and independent cities do?"

Disappointment spread among the crowd, and most of the warriors shook their heads and sighed, with somewhat unpleasant expressions on their faces. Especially those warriors with mediocre cultivation were extremely disappointed, and even feared the upcoming competition.

However, some people still remained calm. These people were the talented warriors from the three major families in Cangjing, the three major sects in Canglan, and the royal family.

Even though the martial arts tournament has been going on so far, they still don't have any worries or worries, and they are almost not nervous.

With strong strength as a basis, they will not be timid in the upcoming competition, no matter how the rules change.

Because no matter what, they will be the final ones to advance.

Unless you are unlucky and meet those top geniuses in advance, there will be no suspense at all.

"Does everyone understand?" The silver-robed elder asked loudly without being wordy. Seeing that no one dared to question, he immediately waved his hand and started drawing lots.

Swish swish swish!

With a wave of his hand, the two silver-robed elders next to him immediately threw out the lottery numbers.

It's just that compared with the previous few days, the numbers this time are divided into four colors, gold, silver, copper, and iron, each with eighty lots, which adds up to exactly three hundred and twenty lots.

"Silver Lot No. 65!"

"Golden Lot No. 30!"

"Iron number 18!"

"Bronze Lot No. 59!"

When the number was signed, there was a burst of noise from the crowd.

But obviously, this is just a group draw and does not produce direct opponents.

However, these people still couldn't wait to scan around them, wanting to see who were holding the same color number as themselves.

And these people are undoubtedly the opponents they will face next.

"The drawing is completed, divided into four columns, hurry up!"

The silver-robed elder did not hesitate, and waved his big hand to signal coldly. Everyone did not dare to hesitate, and immediately separated into four square formations.

Looking at the disciples lined up neatly below, the silver-robed elder nodded with satisfaction, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Next, the four groups will be supervised by my four companions. After the internal drawing, the competition will begin immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four silver-robed elders walked out from the high platform and commanded a square formation to start drawing lots.

After everyone submits their group draws, the drawing of match draws begins again.

"Golden Lot Square, come over here!"

"Silver Lot Square, follow me!"

"Bronze Lottery Square!"

"Iron Sign Square, listen to my orders!"

The four elders gave the order in unison, and the four square formations lined up under the high platform, waiting attentively.

Immediately afterwards, the gold and silver lottery numbers flew down like a torrential rain and fell into the hands of every disciple.

It was not difficult to draw lots for each group of eighty people. The opponents were quickly picked out, and then everyone came to the ring next to them.

After a lot of work last night, the original ten arenas have been demolished and forty arenas have been rebuilt.

Moreover, there are certain intervals between each of the ten arenas, which are obviously reserved for different groups.

Seeing the location of these arenas, many warriors suddenly understood!

"I should have guessed today's rules!"

"Haha, does it matter whether you can guess or not?"

“It’s not too late to know now!”

"Alas! Warriors from a small affiliated country with mediocre strength like us don't have to think about upgrading!"

Everyone had different expressions. Some were filled with pride and fighting spirit, while others shook their heads and smiled bitterly. It was obvious that they knew that they could not go very far, and that they might not even be able to get through the first round.

Jiang Tian won the bronze lottery. After standing in line, he took a moment to look at it and suddenly showed a wry smile with a strange look in his eyes.

Not far to his right, a few warriors away, stood a familiar figure.

It’s none other than Luo Lan!

Feeling Jiang Tian's gaze, Luo Lan couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.

"Jiang Tian...how could it be such a coincidence?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that either!"

Looking at Luo Lan with a wry smile and a complicated look on his face, Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled, feeling a little depressed.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. Although Luo Lan was in the same group as him, they might not have a chance to fight against each other.

After all, there are still many powerful warriors in this group. If Luo Lan is unlucky, he will probably be eliminated in the first round.

The two of them thought of this almost tacitly, smiled at each other, and their expressions became calm.

It's just that Jiang Tian's calmness is more about his confidence in his own strength. Although there are many strong players in the bronze group, he feels that there is not much pressure to enter the top ten.

But for Luo Lan, this calmness was more of a helplessness.
Chapter completed!
