C328 The Semi-final Began!
Taking a step further, just these four families in Seroa were on par with the Four Great Countries, which was second only to it. How powerful would the imperial family of Seroa be?
No wonder Seroa was able to stand at the center of the continent for tens of thousands of years without collapsing. It could be said that it ruled the entire continent. Its strength was not something to be trifled with.
As Qin Feng got more and more familiar with the Seroa, his heart was filled with shock. He felt that the Seroa was incomparably huge, but he himself was extremely tiny.
There were eight great Vassal State surrounding it, forming an unbreakable defense. Furthermore, there were four great families as the pillars of the empire. Compared to the Four Great Countries, the strength of the empire was terrifying, and it made people powerless to chase after it.
Qin Feng came back to his senses and asked, "And the other three families of the four great families are?"
"Lu Family, Murong Family, and Huluo Family."
"Lu Family? Could it be the family of Lu Ziyang?" Qin Feng was startled again. He thought to himself, "No wonder he has the Mysterious Treasure. He came from one of the four big families in Seroa."
"Oh right, besides these four big families, there are also many other big families in Seroa. However, they are also extremely powerful when compared to some of the big families in Vassal State. The most famous one among them is the Jin family, which is also the power behind the Jinjue House. " Ike added.
"Jinjue House? Sure enough, it's powerful enough..." Qin Feng sighed in his heart.
"This Xu Ziyan is from the Xu Family? No wonder his surname is Xu. I should have thought of this long ago." Lei Nuoer heard their conversation and looked at Xu Ziyan with a strange expression. He no longer pursued his past coldness. After all, even if it was only a branch of the Xu Family, it wasn't something that the weak Vassal State like the Lei Kesi could afford to offend. There was nothing to be proud of about his identity as a prince in front of him.
At this moment, Xu Ziyan bid farewell to the people from the Xu Family and planned to leave. Qin Feng and the others didn't stay any longer and headed towards the resting room.
As the semifinals would be held tomorrow, none of them returned to the hotel in St Paul. They sat in the lounge and meditated, adjusting their condition. The entire arena was protected by a special restriction that could gather spiritual energy. The density of spiritual energy here was more than three times that of the outside world, so it was not bad to cultivate here.
Just as everyone was cultivating, the door of the lounge was suddenly knocked open. Lei Nage hurriedly ran in.
"Everyone, come over quickly. The results of the grouping have been released. The opponents for the first round tomorrow will also be known." Lei Nage shouted.
Everyone woke up from their cultivation. Their expressions could not help but turn serious as they leaned towards Lei Nage.
Lei Nage looked around and was somewhat excited. He said, "The first round tomorrow will be the battle against Hailing Country!"
"Hailing Country!?"
Everyone was stunned. Was this the so-called heaven's will? Once again, the enmity of the world met, and it was decided in the first round, life and death!
In the next moment, a powerful aura ignited in the resting room. Everyone revealed a strong fighting intent.
"This time, only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed! We must rub the sharpness of the Hailing Country! " Lei Nage waved his arms and said excitedly.
"Yes! Only Xu Sheng! You are not allowed to lose!" Everyone shouted in unison.
The night passed in silence. The next morning, the arena was already filled with spectators. There were also many teams that had failed in the preliminary round. Although they had failed, they wanted to witness an intense battle and see who would be the last to laugh.
64 teams walked out from the surrounding passageways and gathered on the platform in the center.
Not long after, a voice sounded, "The first round of the semi-finals is about to begin. All teams, please proceed to your respective arenas."
"Rumble!" Following this voice, rumbling sounds suddenly resounded in the surroundings. Immediately, eight arenas appeared from the ground in all directions.
"We are in the third group. Follow me to the third arena." Lei Nage led everyone down from the central platform and walked towards one of the arenas in the south.
The Hailing Country, which was beside them, also walked towards that direction. The two groups stared at each other. Invisible electric lights kept colliding and rubbing against each other.
The semifinals were divided into eight groups. The last eight teams were divided into eight groups, and each group was the seed team. If one wanted to advance to the finals, they had to defeat them.
However, in the past few hundred years, there were very few people who succeeded, and the successful cases were all created in the competition between the top ten teams in Vassal State. The status of the Seroa and Four Great Countries was extremely stable, and no one could shake them. The final champion of the competition was always in Seroa, and there had never been an accident.
In other words, the team that was in the same group as Seroa and Four Great Countries had basically announced that they had no chance of competing in the finals.
Fortunately, Lei Kesi did not have such a tragedy this time. Their seed team was ranked seventh in the last year, and it was Kan Miluo, who was ranked second among all the teams in Vassal State.2
When everyone came to their respective arenas, the first round of the semifinals officially began.
Each ring was a hundred meters long and a hundred meters wide. It was spacious enough. Moreover, the foundation was made of extremely solid Profound Gold Stone. It was said that there were powerful restrictions placed on it. In order to avoid causing damage in the battle. Furthermore, each arena was equipped with two referees. One of them was a master while the other was a master. Both of them had great strength and abundant experience.
The Lei Kesi belonged to the third group. The main judge was an old man in his sixties, called Elder Chen. The deputy judge was a man in his forties, named Pu Diyi.
In the third group, there was another country that Qin Feng knew. It was the Snow Night Country, and they were the first to enter the stage.
The Snow Night Country was considered to be relatively strong in the Vassal State. In the third group, they were second only to Kan Miluo, and they were the strong contenders for the finals.
The first round of the semi-finals was divided into five rounds. The winner would advance to the next round, and the loser would be eliminated.
The first round of the five rounds was a match between the Sword Cultivator. The six Sword Cultivators would fight in the arena, and the country that won would be considered the winner.
Then there would be three one-to-one battles between spiritual cultivators. The last round would be a two-person match, a test of cooperation. These four matches were not allowed to be repeated.
The competition required the participants to be the same as the Lei Kesi. They were not allowed to use any treasures above the Lord Treasure, and there were no more than three of them.
The Snow Night Country's strength was not an undeserved reputation. During the first clash of the Sword Cultivators, they had only sent one person, and he had won with a shocking result of three in a row. After that, they easily won the next two matches and announced their victory. They advanced to the second round.
The second round began shortly after. Kan Miluo appeared, but his opponent was a middle-ranked Vassal State from the north. The other party had actually forfeited in the first Sword Cultivator battle. The second round, the Vassal State had actually sent out a young lady. The Cultivation Level was not ordinary. It had reached the Seventh Level Heaven Spirit Lord. Unfortunately, her opponent was a Peak of Eighth Level Heaven Spirit Lord. She allowed him to use all of her abilities. In the end, he was defeated.
However, Elder Chen looked at the person below the stage and nodded slightly. He took out a book and wrote something on it.
After that, Vassal State gave up the competition and admitted defeat. It was as if this competition was only for the sake of letting the girl from before make her debut.
"It seems like they want that girl to be noticed by the Seroa, so they only let her appear in the competition. Then, they gave up. " Lei Nage looked at the scene and mused for a moment. After which, he shook his head and sighed. This action was similar to those geniuses from the Vassal State who had come despite knowing that they had no hope of entering the semifinals. They only hoped that the geniuses in the country would be discovered by the Seroa. Hence... Once they ascended to the heavens.
However, he didn't have the time to sigh because the next battle would be between Lei Kesi and Hailing Country!
