"That's true. We'll deal with it when it comes to the enemy, and we'll deal with it when it comes to the enemy." "Then tell me, Hall."
Zhan Tian thought for a while and said.
Bai Zhantang took over the conversation and spoke to Qin Loong: "This time, Jin Feng will directly enter the elimination round. We will talk about it later.
Qin Loong nodded and listened to what Bai Zhantang said seriously, "The preliminary auditions are a free-for-all between ten people, you saw all of this, right? The location of the battle, including the elimination rounds, is in the center of the Eight Trigrams Linked Mountains. The innate experts will work together to set up an array formation around the area, so the space for the battle is limited.
Bai Zhantang paused for a moment, and continued: "According to the previous China Sword Competition selection, generally speaking, the situation will very quickly become one of the two strongest people, against the remaining eight weaker competitors. "Unless that group has fairly average strength, or maybe they have two or more top experts."
Qin Loong nodded, and after thinking about it for a moment, he understood that this was a inevitable situation.
There were only two victories in each group, so if the eight weaker ones wanted to win, it would be the most reasonable strategy.
Bai Zhantang continued to speak: "Although the preliminary draw is drawing lots, but due to various considerations, the host's Celestial Sect would normally not distribute too many experts into one group. When the result of the drawing of lots comes out, they would adjust according to the rules, which is beneficial for everyone, so most people would agree on it."
"Then, the only thing we can do is to engage in a messy battle with average strength. Or is that the case with an eight-to-two situation?"
Qin Loong asked.
"It's the same in the previous competitions, but this time, even the average strength of each group is unlikely to appear."
As Bai Zhantang said this, he smiled and looked at Qin Loong, with no intention of explaining in detail.
Seeing that, Qin Loong thought about it again and immediately understood.
A simple arithmetic problem.
Out of the six participating Celestial Sect experts and three of them, this was already nine of them. In addition, there were also three other participating experts and rogue cultivators.
There were a total of twenty groups. If one didn't want too many of the top experts in each group, there would be at least one expert in each group.
Seeing that Qin Loong had expressed his understanding of the situation, Bai Zhantang then continued to analyze the situation: "So, let's discuss the 8 versus 2 situation."
With that, Bai Zhantang grabbed onto something in the air and sucked a rock from the ground. With just a bit of luck, he broke it into ten equally sized pieces of stones and placed it on the ground.
"Let's take a look at the first scenario. If eight people win, then it'll be a six versus two."
Bai Zhantang took the two little stones, while the remaining six and two were split into two piles.
"If the six of them win again, then it will be a four versus two fight."
Bai Zhantang said as he took two more small stones, turning the rest into four or two piles.
At this time, Qin Loong frowned and interrupted: "That's not right, if that's the case, then if the remaining four people win, then the two people with the weaker strength will have no chance at all."
Qin Loong thought about it again and said: "No, no, no, the possibility of it happening eight against two is indeed very high, but the remaining six people cannot work together without reservation. Furthermore, every person's goal for participating is different, so the possibility of that is too high and too complicated to be predicted."
"Hahaha, I told you that you wouldn't be able to fool the Brother Qin right? Come, come, come. We agreed on three standard Spirit Stone."
Old Zhong suddenly laughed and said to Bai Zhantang.
The standard Spirit Stone was often used as a standard for spiritual equipment in the cultivation world. Over time, it almost became the currency used in the cultivation world.
Previously, Bai Zhantang and Old Zhong had clearly made a bet with Qin Loong.
"Not at all, not at all. I haven't even finished duping you, and you've already formed your bottom line."
Bai Zhantang shook his head and said.
"You are clearly being shameless. Captain Zhan, please give us some judgement."1
Old Zhong was unwilling to let him go.
Seeing the two of them acting this way, Qin Loong was both speechless and amused. However, he felt that this kind of atmosphere was very warm in his heart.
"Alright, alright, let's finish the analysis first. You can talk about the two of you in private later."
Zhan Tian knew that there was no end to the flame war, so he quickly interrupted them.
"You're lucky."
Old Zhong said angrily.
Bai Zhantang escaped danger and quickly turned to Qin Loong, "I wasn't entirely joking with you just now. It's just as you said, an 8 vs 2 situation really does happen a lot at the start, but most of the time, it becomes an uncontrollable free-for-all."
"Then what should I do?"
Qin Loong asked.
Bai Zhantang smiled and said, "What you need to do is to conserve your strength as much as possible and observe everyone's battle prowess, tactics, characteristics, and so on. After that, you only need to prepare two countermeasures."
"Oh? Which two situations and strategies? "
Qin Loong asked in surprise when he heard Bai Zhantang simplify the situation down to two.
"Firstly, you are one of the two strongest people here. If you don't want to fight with the other person, then think of a way to defeat the other eight, and at the same time conserve your strength as much as possible."
Bai Zhantang did not keep up the suspense this time and continued, "The second is that you are one of the eight weaker people, so you must act like …" After saying that, Bai Zhantang suddenly asked: "Have you played with the Three Kingdoms before?"
"Huh? I've played it before, why? "
Qin Loong was a little confused.
"Hur hur." Bai Zhantang laughed and said: "If you are in the group of eight, then just like the Three Kingdoms' hidden spies, while preserving your strength, reduce the number of people, and weaken the other seven and the two group's strength. The ideal scenario would be that only you and the two people in the group would be left in the end, and the two people in the group would be consumed even more than you. "
"Un, that makes sense!"
Qin Loong thought about it carefully a few times. Even if he was calculating all sorts of possible complicated situations, both strategies were the best. For Bai Zhantang to be able to simplify such changing situations, it seemed that he was mistaken in his assumption.
Thinking of this, Qin Loong felt deep veneration for Bai Zhantang.
Actually, this was Qin Loong going from one extreme to the other.
It was true that the reputation of the number one brain in China was not for nothing, but in some aspects, it was true that Bai Zhantang was a comedian.
Only after being scammed a few times by Bai Zhantang did Qin Loong finally understand Bai Zhantang's personality.
"The next stage is the elimination round."
Bai Zhantang did not know what Qin Loong was thinking, but he was still happily helping Qin Loong and Jin Feng to continue with the next division.
Just like this, from morning until evening, other than Zhan Tian taking a Spirit Qi fruit to eat at noon, everyone else had analysed the situation in detail.
Because the rules of the competition forbade the use of special items or one-time use of spiritual tools, there was no need to go to the armory to retrieve equipment.
As for the division of the opponent's information, they would have to wait until the drawing of lots tomorrow before doing so. Otherwise, there was no need to forcefully memorize the information of so many people. The few of them then went to their respective rooms early in the morning.
