Liang Dong didn't know how the candidates for the knockout match were selected, and when the battle list was posted the next day, Liang Dong felt the slow malice of the academy.

Liang Dong's opponent is Murong Chong, Murong Chong of the Jin Academy, Jin Kemu, and Murong Chong definitely have a chance to fight with Liang Dong.

Others are also like this, Lin Tianlong's opponent is Su Qingyi, no one thought of this, as soon as she saw the list Su Qingyi's face immediately sank, her luck was too bad.

Wang Dong's opponent is Chang Kuan, the two of them had already fought once when they were in the freshman competition, but they didn't expect to face each other again now.

Ren Yanling's opponent is Cheng Yin, the last freshman competition, the two were sixth and ninth, although they were both in the bottom five of the top ten, but the two did not fight. This time happened to be an opportunity for Cheng Yin, last time she was defeated by Hu Mingyue and Wang Tong, and these two people were also defeated at the hands of Ren Yanling, so that she had no chance to challenge Ren Yanling, but now she can get what she wants.

Liang Pianqi's opponent was Qu Xuemei, seeing this place, it was Qu Xuemei's turn to change her face, she couldn't have imagined that she would face Liang Pianqi first. Liang Pianji's strength, even Lin Tianlong has to be afraid of three points, and she may not have any hope of winning this game.

The remaining three, Hu Mingyue is against Han Geng, Wang Tong is against Gu Caiwei, and Ye Mei is against Ning Qing'er.

The others are okay to say, only Ning Qing'er was the first to change her face, among the eight firsts, in addition to the five heartbeat periods, the strongest is Ye Mei. Originally, Ning Qing'er wasn't too worried, because she knew some inside stories in advance, and the academy had some old examples to follow on how to separate the two sides of the battle.

According to what someone said to Ning Qing'er after the group stage, the first round of knockout matches should abide by the principle of the five elements, and that person guaranteed that Ning Qing'er would never face Lin Tianlong, as for the mystery in this, it is not an outsider.

Ning Qing'er only had two possible opponents, either Wang Tong or Ye Mei. When she first heard this analysis, Ning Qing'er said confidently that she was not afraid, but now that she was really facing Ye Mei, Ning Qing'er's heart was full of heaviness.

With such a battle list, a slightly smarter person can already guess some of the implications, the academy doesn't want to let the first of the eight groups win too easily, they are creating opportunities for the second place in the eight groups, especially the battle except for the five people of Liang Dong.

Hu Mingyue to Han Geng, Wang Tong to Gu Caiwei, and Ye Mei to Ning Qing'er.

It's hard to say who will win, which makes these three games much more enjoyable and difficult for some speculators.

The underground betting platform inside the academy has been operating secretly for many years, which has a lot to do with the inaction of the Law Enforcement Hall, and what intentions are hidden behind this matter, this is not something that Liang Dong can guess at all.

However, this did not prevent Liang Dong from taking a handful of this, he took out ten magic stones himself, and asked Huai Shi'an to help bet on the first of the eight groups to win all. Although Huai Shi'an was a little hesitant, out of his trust in Liang Dong, he not only helped Liang Dong bet all the ten magic stones, but even he himself invested twenty magic stones.

If everything goes well, Huai Shi'an will be able to get five times the income this time, that is, one hundred magic stones, and a net profit of eighty, which is enough for him to live a comfortable life during summer vacation.

It's not that Liang Dong doesn't want to invest more magic stones, it's just that the water behind the underground betting table is too deep, and if Liang Dong just earns a little living expenses, no one should be held accountable, but once he earns more, the trouble will keep coming to the door.

Now Liang Dong especially thinks that he is not low-key enough, how can he still get into such trouble. What's more, he just earns some pocket money, if he really needs it, he will go to the endless forest sea to earn it.

On the playground, because the knockout round is about to begin, the entire playground is crowded, and thousands of people have gathered here to watch the next first game.

The first game was Ye Mei vs. Ning Qing'er, this pair of water and fire battles attracted a lot of people's attention, Ye Mei's strength is needless to say, although she spent some time because of the transformation of the foundation before, but the deep foundation still allowed her to catch up quickly in cultivation.

Ning Qing'er easily lost to Chen Lei in the freshman competition, many people were very surprised, although Chen Lei disappeared into the academy after something happened, but the academy did not make any changes to the results of the last freshman competition, neither let Ren Yanling, who ranked sixth, enter the fifth substitute, nor let Ning Qing'er, who was eliminated by Chen Lei before, stand up, that thing was as if it didn't happen, and it had no impact on all affairs in the academy.

The person who presided over this competition has been replaced by Tian Ning, the education chief of the academy, once it exceeds the time of the martial arts competition in the gathering period, there must be a master of the fusion period with deep cultivation as a referee to protect the Fa, and sometimes, even a congenital monk will come forward in person to prevent accidents from happening.

Although it is a bit redundant to say that Tian Ning, as the head of education, is at most a freshman competition that is at most a heart-warming early stage of cultivation, but as a year-end competition for the first grade, it is naturally said that Tian Ning will take action.

What's more, among these freshmen, there are still one or two people, once they go all out, the power can even reach the level of the fusion period, and if they are not careful, there may be casualties, in this case, it is natural that a weighty person will come forward to suppress the scene.

Tian Ning glanced at Liang Dong and Lin Tianlong in the audience, then withdrew his gaze, looked at Ye Mei and Ning Qing'er on the stage and said, "One minute to prepare!"

"Yes, Education Chief!" Ning Qing'er and Ye Mei stood on both sides of the ring and bowed to Tian Ning at the same time, showing respect, and at this time their respective hands had already touched the hilt of their swords.

Ning Qing'er looked at Ye Mei who was standing twenty meters away from her, and said to Ye Mei with a subtle expression: "Please ask Senior Sister Ye Mei to show mercy to the sword in a while!"

"It's easy to say!" The look on Ye Mei's face was extremely cold, but he still replied politely.

"Let's start!" Tian Ning gave an order, Ye Mei and Ning Qing'er drew their swords at the same time, Ye Mei took out the sword very directly, without the slightest hesitation, one move pierced Changhong, and the long sword cut through the space and attacked Ning Qing'er directly. The sword qi on the sword body was agitated, and under the background of the sun, it was like a colorful rainbow, which was unfathomable.

Ye Mei is very strong and very direct, Ning Qing'er has analyzed the characteristics of Ye Mei's moves with others before, and she has dealt with it early, the long sword in her right hand has drawn a Dao sword circle in front of her, and the sword qi is densely covered in the air, so as to defend and attack and deal with Ye Mei.

The defensive counterattack tactics of the Department of Water Science have always been in the limelight in previous competitions, one move is as good as water, and then one move is against the current, surprise, the sword goes sideways, and the killing intent is hidden, which makes people unable to figure it out.

Ning Qing'er's sword momentum was together, Ye Mei guessed her strategy, but Ye Mei was always Ye Mei, the sword momentum in her hand did not change in the slightest, but increased the true power in her body, and the long sword in her hand stabbed Ning Qing'er faster and faster.

With a muffled sound of "dang", the long sword in Ye Mei's hand was immediately deflected by three points, but her footsteps also followed suit, the long sword bounced slightly, and the next moment, a sword containing true qi was once again split in the sword circle.

"When, dang, dang" There were several consecutive long sword strikes, Ye Mei didn't care about the loss of real power at all, and hit Ning Qing'er's long sword with one sword after another, and Ning Qing'er's right hand was numb, and she was unable to use a counterattack sword at all.

However, Ning Qing'er's real goal was not that move against the current, but the light blue rune seal in the palm of her left hand, at this moment, the light blue rune seal just turned into ashes, and a white mist immediately spread out around with Ning Qing'er as the center, making it impossible to see everything beyond a meter at all.

Ye Mei slashed through the air with a sword, and knew that Ning Qing'er had broken away from the place, and the long sword in her hand immediately drew a beautiful arc in front of her, just like a rainbow bridge appeared in mid-air. This is the only defensive color bridge in the fire sword technique.

"Ding Ding Ding" Several consecutive clashes between the tip of the sword and the sword body sounded in the ring, Ning Qing'er's figure was like a ghost, flickering in the mist, and from time to time launched a surprise attack on Ye Mei, I don't know why Ning Qing'er's swordsmanship power in this situation has increased greatly.

Although it was covered by mist, all the conditions of the battle between the two in the ring could not be hidden from Tian Ning's eyes.

The offensive and defensive momentum was easy, Ye Mei could only defend but not attack for a while, and it seemed that he had fallen downwind, but Ning Qing'er did not find that while Ye Mei was resisting with one sword at a time, some reddened sword bodies had forced the fog out step by step.

Just when Ning Qing'er missed a sword attack and finally retreated into the mist again, Ye Mei suddenly took a step forward, raised the long sword in his hand high, and then swung it down suddenly.

"Dangdangdang" exchanged blows several times in a row, Ning Qing'er was forced to retreat step by step, and suddenly her right foot was empty, Ning Qing'er secretly screamed that it was not good, I don't know when he had been forced to the edge of the ring by Ye Mei, and at this time, a big foot suddenly kicked over from the front.
