Bab 1336: 1525
**Chapter 1525: Luck is Very Important, the Cycle of Life and Death**
The contestants gradually adapted to the round-robin tournament, and all kinds of fighting methods began to appear.
Ambushes, assassinations, taking advantage of opportunities, setting traps - nothing was off limits.
The cultivators from the Four Star Regions revealed their extraordinary strength in the round-robin tournament.
Compared to the cultivators from the Divine City and the War God Hall, they had richer combat experience and stronger adaptability in the field.
They often did not linger in battle. If they could fight, they fought. If they couldn't win, they fled.
Even in dangerous situations, they would choose the most advantageous course of action for themselves.
In contrast, the cultivators from the War God Hall and the Divine City placed more faith in their own strength and were more willing to fight to the death.
While such spirit is admirable, on the battlefield, such behavior is truly seeking death.
Unless there is truly no way to retreat and one must fight to the death, one needs to respond flexibly.
Everyone knows this is experience.
The cultivators from the Four Star Regions constantly carry out various missions and often go to battlefields to fight against other races.
Many of them walk on the edge of life and death, accumulating a great deal of combat experience.
This cannot be obtained through secluded cultivation.
Just as Lin Moyu said, the round-robin tournament is not just about strength. Experience and luck are also very important.
Unless you have the strength to crush everything, the scales will always tilt.
The rankings are constantly changing. As the contestants adapt to the round-robin tournament, the ranking changes become more and more frequent.
Lin Moyu noticed another point - the Human Emperor Network seemed to intentionally arrange contestants with close numbers together.
Although not all of them, in many cases it was like this.
In this way, it could be determined who the true experts were.
By the tenth day of the round-robin tournament, the top ten in the rankings had basically been established.
The number one ranked contestant was number 19, named Jiang Gang.
He came from the White Tiger Star Region and had a fierce offensive style, not much weaker than the cultivators from the Azure Dragon Star Region.
Originally, he had a chance to enter the top 16, but unfortunately, he encountered a small God Sovereign from the War God Hall.
His score reached 372 points. In just ten short days, he had defeated 272 people.
He seemed to have a special talent that allowed him to quickly find his targets.
Every time he entered an arena, he would find his opponent in an extremely short time and quickly defeat them.
Then he would go through the teleportation gate to another arena.
This talent was not very useful in one-on-one battles, but on the battlefield, it was a great killer.
The few ranked below him also displayed extraordinary strength.
Xu Jianxing's ranking gradually dropped due to his strength, but thanks to the various magical artifacts given by Lin Moyu and the intentional control of the Human Emperor Network, the opponents he encountered were never much stronger than him.
His score was also slowly increasing. Ten days later, his score had reached 121 points, ranking 230th.
At this point, more than half of the contestants had scores below 100.
Not only did they not gain any points, but they also lost their base 100 points.
The lowest-ranked contestant had a score of less than 50.
In these ten days, he had been defeated more than 50 times, which was truly miserable.
Lin Moyu suddenly realized something, and his eyes flashed with a brilliant light, "It turns out the round-robin tournament has another use - it can reveal a person's luck, good or bad."
"Luck is a part of strength. Sometimes, good or bad luck can decide life and death."
"Xiao Sheng once had extremely bad luck and almost died. But it seems his luck later improved, and he encountered me, escaping death."
Lin Moyu pondered, as if he had gained a deeper understanding of the intangible concept of luck.
Time passed day by day. On the twenty-first day of the competition, the first elimination occurred.
It was only then that people realized the round-robin tournament would also have eliminations.
The eliminated contestant was the one with the worst luck. His points had been deducted to a negative number.
He became the first person to be eliminated.
In the following days, more and more people were eliminated.
The number of arenas seemed to be decreasing, and the area was also shrinking.
The contestants' activity range became smaller and smaller, and the frequency of encounters increased, rapidly intensifying the round-robin tournament.
With five days remaining, more than a hundred contestants had been eliminated, and there were only four arenas left. More than 300 people were crammed into four arenas, greatly increasing the probability of encounters.
Moreover, the rules became even stricter. If someone did not move for more than one minute, they would be attacked by the formation.
At this time, the role of traps increased significantly. There was no need for powerful traps; as long as they could trap the opponent and prevent them from moving for one minute, it was enough.
Then, after the opponent was injured, one could easily finish them off and gain points.
Properly utilizing the rules was very important.
Under these circumstances, Xu Jianxing's days became even more difficult.
Not just him, all the weaker contestants gradually became targets.
In the end, it still came down to strength.
In the last few days, more and more people were eliminated.
Soon, the round-robin tournament reached its final day, with only a little over 200 contestants remaining.
The arenas shrank again, and everyone was teleported into the same arena.
This day would determine the final rankings. Jiang Gang firmly held the first place, and no one could shake his position.
Even Qing Xiaoxiao was not his match.
After him, the rankings had gone crazy.
They fought madly, vying for the last few points.
The 30-day round-robin tournament was most exciting on the final day.
This day was also the most stressful for the contestants.
If one's luck was bad, they might die dozens or even hundreds of times in a single day.
Facing death each time was an immense mental torment.
Although they knew they would not truly die, the terror of facing a fatal attack remained unchanged.
For the higher-ranked contestants, it was now about hiding and not being discovered.
For the lower-ranked contestants, it was about finding and quickly defeating others.
Xu Jianxing's jade token played a huge role. He hid underground, using the jade token to conceal himself and avoid being discovered.
Finally, the round-robin tournament reached its end amidst intense battles.
The formation rumbled, teleporting everyone away, and the rankings were determined at that moment.
Jiang Gang remained number one, firmly holding the top spot with a high score of 1200, unshakable.
It was only in the last few days of the round-robin tournament that he reached his peak.
Qing Xiaoxiao was second, with a score of 986.
The scores of the next few contestants were very close, as everyone fought fiercely on the final day.
On the last day, another third of the remaining 200 contestants were eliminated.
It can be said that the points ultimately converged towards a small number of people.
Xu Jianxing was very lucky. Utilizing the jade token's properties, he was only found three times, all by Jiang Gang. The jade token could not hide from Jiang Gang's talent.
In the end, Xu Jianxing successfully passed the round-robin tournament with a score of 102, ranking 132nd.
When Xu Jianxing returned, his face was slightly pale, with a lingering look of horror.
The feeling of being killed was not pleasant.
It wasn't until he drank half a jug of wine that his face regained its rosy color.
Chu Xiong patted Xu Jianxing with his big hand, "Go to a few more battlefields, and you'll get used to it."
Xu Jianxing shook his head, "That feeling is different."
Indeed, it was different. He had been to battlefields before, constantly facing life and death.
But truly facing death was a different kind of terror.
There is great terror between life and death, not just words.
Lin Moyu understood him. In the Tulu Realm, he had also narrowly escaped death, and even he had been terrified enough.
After this experience, Xu Jianxing would become more indifferent to life and death, and his will would become stronger and more resolute. His future achievements would be even greater.
