All the competitions were arranged in the second and third regions, so the accommodation of each team was also arranged in the hotels of these two regions.
Of course, there were also buses for the competition.
The Tianjiaobang competition was free of charge throughout the whole process, including free accommodation and meals, until the end of the competition.
All the teams departed and returned at the same time. The round-trip expenses, as well as some group activities planned by the delegations, were specially allocated by the governments of various countries.
Therefore, all expenses were free.
Of course, if you leave early alone or participate in activities outside the delegation plan, you need to be responsible for it yourself.
Players from various countries arrived one after another, the earliest on the 18th, and the latest on the morning of the 21st.
Then, the opening ceremony was held on the evening of the 22nd at the Sacred Martial Arts Hall of the Awakening Temple in the second largest region of South America. It was actually an entrance ceremony for all the players, plus a performance organized by the host country, and all the games in the first round of the qualifying round, that is, the battle list, were announced.
The qualifying round is divided into four rounds, and the basic schedule is similar every year, with only some minor differences.
The first three rounds are elimination matches, and the match list is all randomly selected, but there are two unwritten rules, that is, priority is given to players from different countries to play against each other, and priority is given to players with higher rankings in the estimated ranking list to play against players with lower rankings.
At the end of each round, an internal estimated ranking list will be arranged, which will not be announced to the public. Outsiders will still see the player numbers.
Half of the people will be eliminated in each round, a total of 1,032 people, and only 129 people will be left after three rounds. These 129 people will directly qualify and enter the qualifying round.
The last round is the resurrection match, and the people who were eliminated in the first three rounds compete for 71 resurrection spots in the qualifying round.
Therefore, there are a total of 200 players in the qualifying round, 129 people who qualify in the first three rounds, plus 71 people who qualify in the last round of the resurrection match. These two hundred players are the Tianjiao list players, that is, the top two hundred players are eligible to be on the Tianjiao list.
The opening ceremony was very long, and it was only at the end that the big screen began to show the first round of the qualifying match list.
A total of 516 games.
Leng Feng's opponent is Neil, player number 0394, a South American player, playing at home.
The venue arrangement will be announced the next day.
The official competition will not start until the 25th, and the first round will be played for two days. Leng Feng's match with Neil will be held at the First Martial Arts Center in Asuncion, and the last match will be held on the evening of the 26th.
At noon the second day after the opening ceremony, Leng Feng got the player information about Neil, and the support team led by Li Haoran had sorted it out, including their comments on Neil's characteristics.
Of course, there is not much data, just some brief information, but it is enough for Leng Feng.
Neil is an S-level elemental sand bloodline, awakened in the sixth year, a relatively rare elemental bloodline, and his core martial arts are the intermediate skill sand shield, the advanced skill sand armor, and the intermediate secret skill quicksand dilemma.
Sand shield and sand armor are mainly defensive, estimated to be in the realm of great success, and sand shield has a small probability of peak realm.
Quicksand Dilemma must have reached the Great Perfection Stage, and it is likely to have reached the peak, because it is his main attacking martial arts skill, which can create a piece of quicksand around him, spreading outward from himself, or a long strip extending in one direction. Almost no one can avoid it, and once trapped by the quicksand, it is basically lost.
As a secret technique, after reaching the peak, the attack speed and power are incomparable, so he will definitely focus on it.
There are also the primary combat skills of Sand Binding Hands and Shield Strike. Sand Binding Hands is practiced when he just awakens, and Shield Strike is a combat skill practiced with Sand Shield in the middle stage as an auxiliary attack method.
Among these two doors, Sand Binding Hands requires close attack, which conflicts with his current combat method, so he should not have practiced it, and it is likely to remain in the initial Great Perfection Stage.
Shield Strike can be used in close combat or thrown out to attack, but it is just a means of attack diversity, and the distance of throwing is very close, so it is unlikely to spend too much time practicing.
But the sand shield is one of his main means of defense and one of his auxiliary means of attack. He has been promoted to a martial arts master for a long time, but this is only the primary level. There is no problem in mastering it.
In terms of equipment, he only has one shield, which is used with the sand shield. He usually does not throw it out. The sand shield is mainly thrown out. Using a physical shield can make the sand shield easier to form and more powerful when thrown out.
Neil's characteristic is amazing defense. The three defenses of elemental armor, sand shield and shield are very efficient, especially for frontal weapon attacks. The sand shield is superimposed on the shield. The way of fighting is to resist one or two attacks from the opponent, and then use the secret technique to solve the battle.
He can block the attack with a shield with one hand, and release the secret technique with one hand.
In a few cases, he will use the sand shield for long-range attack, and only use the sand binding hand and sand shield for close combat when it is absolutely necessary.
Currently, there are very few people who can break his defense.
One of the weaknessesYes, the preliminary qualification is 14380, the middle-level master, and this is his first time to participate in the Tianjiao Ranking Competition. His bloodline has no enhancement on armor and shield, which limits some of his defense. If he encounters a powerful attack from a high-level master, his defense may not be able to stop it. Once his defense cannot stop it, there is no counterattack against the opponent.
The second weakness is that his bloodline essentially focuses on large-scale, no-dead-angle attacks, and is not good at mobile warfare and fighting skills. If he encounters a physical flow or a fighting master, he may not be able to react to the opponent's strong attack, and the effect of the sand shield is reduced, so he can only rely on the sand armor for defense.
Because of these weaknesses, he is not one of the hot candidates on the list, but he has a chance to make it to the list unexpectedly.
"An opponent like Bai Yunjie can fully exert his strength with companions and his attack power will be very strong, but he is easily restrained in a one-on-one duel on the ring."
This is the characteristic of most elemental bloodlines. The most powerful attack means are slow. If there is a technique that can be used for attack, such as the attack and defense of lightning and fire, there is no weakness in attack speed. If not, then other methods can only be used.
Neil also has a weakness in combat skills. With so many martial arts, the combat methods are also different, and the choice of combat on the spot is a problem.
Others don't have Leng Feng who can add points to improve their martial arts proficiency at will. Time is so short. Most people have only awakened for six years, and some have even awakened for five years. In terms of martial arts selection, they are just making a dojo in a snail shell, and usually only choose a few.
After understanding Neil's characteristics, Leng Feng searched the training ground here and continued to kill monsters.
For him, potential points are the most important. This is the most flexible and more useful than martial arts level growth and martial arts proficiency. It is omnipotent.
Play a few games when you have time, and you can also improve your combat skills. No matter which aspect, the effect of fighting is better than practicing hard in the training room.
The day of the competition is coming soon.
Leng Feng didn't see it during the day, because he went to the training ground in the morning and went there in the evening.
In the player lounge, almost all the people who participated in the competition today were there. There are twelve games in one venue of the qualifying round. Except for the South American players who are playing at home, there are no support team members, so the people inside are in their early twenties.
Players from various countries gathered together.
"Leng Feng, I didn't see you during the day." A sturdy young man on the Chinese side greeted him. He is Xiang Xu, a fifth-year student of Taishan Martial Arts Academy, the largest district in China.
"I have something to do during the day." Leng Feng smiled and replied, pulling the equipment to the locker. The game was fast or slow, but even if it was fast, there was enough time to wear the equipment. He was the last game tonight, so there was no need to rush.
"Is that guy my opponent?" A tall young man from South America looked over, pointed at Leng Feng and asked the people around him, while looking at the headshots of the players in the official APP of the organizing committee.
Leng Feng looked over and saw that the young man was Neil, his opponent tonight.
"That's him, he actually has an odds of 1.5." Someone next to Neil said.
"Yeah, Neil is only 1.4, and the odds of the two are so close. It's really a shame." Another person said.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's lucky to have a weak opponent." Neil laughed and said, "There is no one in China, and a self-study student got in."
Neil gave a thumbs up to the players on the Chinese side: "Well done, everyone. I should thank you for giving me a win for free."
