After Liang Dong's group game ended, only Liang Dong and Gu Caiwei successfully entered the top 16 of the knockout round.

Although Jiang Yan's strength is not weak, he fought with Liang Dong, and his true qi and energy were consumed a lot, although he was entangled with Gu Caiwei for dozens of rounds, he was still defeated by Gu Caiwei by seizing the opportunity.

Liang Dong did not continue to pay attention to the situation in his group, and as soon as his own game was over, he went to other rings to check on the situation of others.

Whether it was Lin Tianlong, Wang Dong, or Liang Pianqi and Ren Yanling, the four freshmen who cultivated during the heartbeat period all defeated the others cleanly.

It didn't take long for Ren Yanling to break through the heartbeat period, and it took a little longer, even so, when Liang Dong walked under his ring, Ren Yanling had also ended the battle on her side.

"How is it, are you okay?" Liang Dong handed a glass of water to Ren Yanling with concern and asked casually.

"I'm fine!" Ren Yanling shook her head lightly and said, "If you don't show the true standing strength of the heartbeat period, it really takes a lot of effort to successfully defeat the others just by relying on the comprehension of the swordsmanship in the qi gathering period." ”

In fact, whether it was Liang Dong, Ren Yanling, or Lin Tianlong, Wang Dong and Liang Pianqi, everyone had a tacit understanding that they did not use their combat power beyond the Qi Gathering Period in the group stage, even so, just the increase in eyesight and mental power brought by breaking through the Heart Gathering Period was enough for them to see through the flaws in the swordsmanship in the hands of most Qi Gathering Period cultivators.

"The real means must be left behind, our real opponents are only Wang Dong and Lin Tianlong, and now is not the time to expose our true strength. Liang Dong's eyes fell on the ring in the south, and looked straight at Lin Tianlong, who was talking to Qu Xuemei under the ring.

Just when Liang Dong's gaze fell on Lin Tianlong, the other party seemed to have a sense, quickly raised his head, looked to the north, and Liang Dong in the crowd just looked at each other.

"You all seem to have forgotten about me!" A cold voice sounded beside Liang Dong, and it was really Liang Pian who turned around and stood beside him. Liang Pianqi glanced at Liang Dong and said lightly: "Liang Dong, you have to be careful, if you really want to fight in the ring, I won't spare your hand." ”

After speaking, Liang Pianqi no longer paid attention to Liang Dong, took Ren Yanling's hand, and said softly: "Let's go, Yanling, I will invite you to dinner at noon today to celebrate the smooth advancement of the two of us to the elimination round." ”

Ren Yanling could only smile helplessly with Liang Dong, and was pulled by Liang Pianjiao towards the canteen.

Liang Dong shook his head lightly and smiled helplessly. He walked around the entire arena at will, watching some of the best battles in the ring.

The people who can be selected from the hundreds of people in each school to participate in the group stage, everyone has a good cultivation and opinion on the swordsmanship they have learned, and there are always some merits in it for Liang Dong to take a second look, and even absorb them into his own swordsmanship.

Standing under a ring, Liang Dong saw Su Qingyi defeat his opponent in one fell swoop and win the second place in the group competition, and the first place in the same group was Ye Mei of the Fire Science Department.

Although in terms of attributes, Su Qingyi restrained Ye Mei a little, but Ye Mei's true qi was far deeper than Su Qingyi's, and her swordsmanship was wide open and closed, quite sharp, although Su Qingyi's one-handed swordsmanship was extremely feminine, but under Ye Mei's fiery swordsmanship, she was quickly defeated.

Liang Dong nodded at Ye Mei on the other side of the ring, and then walked to Su Qingyi's side and asked in a low voice, "How is it, there is no problem, right?"

"Nope. Su Qingyi withdrew his eyes with Ye Mei's body with a complicated expression, and then said to Liang Dong: "Liang Dong, if you want to be fine, just go with me!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Liang Dong to agree, and walked straight out of the playground, Liang Dong frowned, beckoned to Huai Shi'an who was not far away, and hurriedly chased after Su Qingyi.

"Qingyi, are you okay. If there is something to say directly, I will help you analyze it!" Liang Dong quickly caught up with Su Qingyi and asked in a low voice.

Su Qingyi paused, and said in a low voice: "Liang Dong, you say that I am very useless, obviously I have restraint in Ye Mei, but I can't win against her." ”

After a moment of silence, Liang Dong said in a deep voice: "I can't blame you for this, Ye Mei's strength is very strong, and there are few people who can beat her in the entire first grade, except for the five of us who have broken through the heartbeat period, only Wang Tong can fight with her, but nine times out of ten who lose in the end should be Wang Tong." After all, both of them are students of the Fire Division, and they don't have much restraint in their attributes, so Ye Mei, who is better at cultivation, is probably even more powerful. ”

"What about Ning Qing'er?" Hearing Liang Dong say this, the melancholy in Su Qingyi's eyes suddenly decreased a lot, but he looked at Liang Dong with a frown and asked: "Could it be that even Ning Qing'er is not Ye Mei's opponent, Ning Qing'er's cultivation should not be worse than Ye Mei, plus restraint in the exercises, Ning Qing'er's victory over Ye Mei is not a problem, right?"

"It's not as simple as you say. Liang Dong shook his head gently, motioned for Su Qingyi to sit down on the stone bench on the side, and explained to her carefully: "Although Ning Qing'er's own true qi cultivation is not worse than Ye Mei's, and she also has some restraint on Ye Mei in her exercises, she has some problems with her heart, and her comprehension of her own swordsmanship is not as good as Ye Mei. ”

Liang Dong raised his head and glanced at Su Qingyi, smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, Qingyi, your luck is really good, you met Ye Mei in the group stage, so when you wait for tomorrow's knockout round, you won't fight against her in a group again, and you have a great possibility of advancing to the knockout round!"

"Is it likely?" Su Qingyi glanced at Liang Dong angrily, and said: "Today's eight group winners have all come out, you and Yanling and the four of them, one body and mind of the cultivation period, I don't want to be unlucky when I meet anyone, only to lose! Among the remaining three people, Ye Mei and I will not be right tomorrow, even if I am against me, I am not her opponent, now only Wang Tong and Hu Mingyue can let me fight!"

"I hope you can face Wang Tong tomorrow. Liang Dong sighed and said, "This is the only one you can win tomorrow!"

"What do you mean by this, can't I beat Hu Mingyue's sissy?" Su Qingyi frowned and looked at Liang Dong with a look of displeasure.

Liang Dong shook his head lightly and said: "Hu Mingyue, that guy is always a little weird, and I'm a little unsure of his real strength, to be honest, I hope to have the opportunity to have a fight with Hu Mingyue to see how much ability he has after all." ”

As he spoke, Liang Dong slowly narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. In fact, Liang Dong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Hu Mingyue at first, but after Mo Fei said that her relationship with Du Ningshuang was not very good, Liang Dong saw Hu Mingyue and Du Ningshuang walking together, and subconsciously raised a trace of vigilance.

Especially when he was taking martial arts classes, he always focused on the flaws in other people's swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship he showed himself was not so skillful, which made Liang Dong jealous from the bottom of his heart.

"So, I only hope to be able to communicate with the king?" Su Qingyi's expression was a little frustrated.

"Anyway, the top five are not playing, but it is very promising to work hard in the top ten. Liang Dong joked with a smile, in fact, what he said was not wrong at all, Su Qingyi's strength is actually between the tenth and eleventh, as for whether she can get the top ten position, it depends on her luck.

"you!" Su Qingyi pinched Liang Dong fiercely, and said fiercely: "Have a treat at noon, I want to eat you well to make up for my heart that was bruised by you." ”

"Okay, okay!" Liang Dong shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll spend a good time today, and I'll invite you alone." ”

After speaking, Liang Dong stood up, stretched out his hand, and said to Su Qingyi, "Please, my princess!"

"This is like a word!" Su Qingyi raised his head, with a proud expression, put it on Liang Dong's hand, stood up, pointed in the direction of Donghua Pavilion, and said, "Xiao Dongzi, go, open the way for the palace." ”

Liang Dong shook his head helplessly again, this girl is a little too much.

However, Liang Dong's invitation to Donghua Pavilion, after a morning, basically all the group competitions have ended, and the first of the eight groups is released: Liang Dong, Lin Tianlong, Wang Dong, Liang Pianqi, Ren Yanling, Ye Mei, Hu Mingyue, Wang Tong.

What is surprising is that Ning Qing'er lost directly to Hu Mingyue in the group stage, and did not even score in the top eight, let alone the top five, which made many students in the Wood Division who originally had high hopes for her very disappointed, but it was Ren Yanling's wholehearted cultivation that made them full of expectations for Ren Yanling to win the top five.

In fact, everyone who entered the knockout round this time is familiar to Liang Dong, in addition to the eight people in front, the remaining eight groups are: Ning Qing'er, Gu Caiwei, Su Qingyi, Qu Xuemei, Cheng Yin, Murong Chong, Chang Kuan and Han Geng.
