Chapter 1921
The progress of the schedule advanced at a steady pace; Xiao Feng didn't need to worry at all, with four reliable girls acting as his agents throughout, he didn't even need to go into battle to achieve a 100% win rate.
There were no strong opponents in his division, making this a very relaxed preliminary round, as if it had nothing to do with him; each day he merely watched how his friends were doing.
The four teams from Blue Star No. 8 War Zone were fighting in different war zones; Shen Di's team was slightly weaker overall, and Shen Di himself could not use his Civilization Sword, which paled compared to his attributes when fighting in the great world, so when encountering strong enemies from other war zones, he occasionally lost once or twice.
Nevertheless, his win rate remained relatively stable; with 1,000 teams in the division, it was impossible to always face the strongest opponent.
Zhang Fan's team had better luck, being placed in a weak division, and like Xiao Feng they had not suffered a single defeat, maintaining a 100% win rate.
After the baptism of these two years of the 'Endless Killing Tribulation,' Old Zhang has also become quite an expert; although his talent isn't extraordinarily monstrous, his basic attributes have been stacking up with each trial of the heavenly tribulation, making his basic panel quite exaggerated, as if he had cultivated an extra round compared to others.
The team of Sword Slaying the Heavens likewise had solid strength; Sword Slaying the Heavens himself, after more than a year of arduous training, had digested part of the War God's legacy, and combined with the combat effectiveness of the War God set, he was extremely formidable in both duels and group battles, thus entering the ranks of the 'top-tier.'
Judging from the win‑rate trend, all four teams should be able to pass the preliminaries!
Xiao Feng also happened to keep an eye on the battle situations of players from the other races.
As for the Machine Race, aside from the four teams from Zu Jian Xing having a full win rate across the board, previously they
After the clash, the 'Machine Emperor Star' also proved quite strong, with all four teams steadily holding the leading positions in their division.
Tian Shen Zu Di, without a doubt, also saw all four teams pass the preliminaries together.
In the Demon Rock Race, there were no particularly outstanding super‑experts, but their overall strength was very stable, with full‑win‑rate teams existing on every major planet.
The situation of the Water Civilization clan was similar to that of the Demon Rock Race, except they had two additional super‑experts, namely: 'Old Ancestor, I've Come to Save You' and 'Humans Must Die.'
The Plant Civilization had two super‑strong teams: one was Cong Cong's team, and the other was a giant tree named 'Hundreds of Sons, Thousands of Grandsons,' which was also very formidable.
The last time I saw Cong Cong was when we were fighting against the Lord of the Sky; I had promised Cong Cong I would talk to her corpse, but right after the fight I passed out and let the pigeons go.
Afterward I was always busy, and besides, transportation was inconvenient so I couldn't keep having the scavenger act as a driver; thus we could only chat remotely, and it's been a long time since we last met.
If I could meet them in this arena tournament...
Never mind, better not to meet them.
It would be terrible if we made the cute big scallion spirit cry!
So far, neither the Insect Civilization nor the Giant Beast Civilization has shown any particularly outstanding players; they probably have some tactics held back.
The thirty‑day preliminaries passed quickly, and Xiao Feng swiftly went through this period while watching matches and traveling.
When the final day of the preliminaries arrived, the win‑rate situation in each division also became apparent.
The proportion of teams with a 90% win rate was not as high as 10%, because the matching system has a 'tardiness' probability—teams that queue too late may not find opponents and can only be matched against those who have already finished, causing the win rate to skew.
Furthermore, some teams, seeing no chance, simply gave up playing, and as the days went on...
, the probability of high‑win‑rate teams encountering full‑win‑rate teams grows larger, and then being crushed by those full‑win‑rate teams drives their win rate down even further.
Thus, in the end, each division actually had only a dozen or so teams advancing, accounting for less than 2%; in some more harmonious divisions, having thirty or more teams qualify was already considered a lot.
【Server Announcement: In the preparation period for the Myriad Races Hegemony 3v3 Arena Tournament, the preliminaries have now ended; server-wide, 472993 teams have advanced to the group stage. Starting tomorrow, the group stage will officially begin, with the 472993 teams being assigned to 256 groups to play group point matches—please prepare for battle!】
【All members of the teams that have completed all matches will receive this preliminary participation reward: 10 billion cultivation experience pills ×5.】
The system released the final data statistics and, in passing, distributed the rewards to the players who finished the competition.
50 billion cultivation is basically enough for everyone to advance at least one level; even playing ten matches a day doesn't take much time, essentially it's free profit—just signing up gets you it.
Just after settling the preliminaries, the group‑stage divisions quickly got underway.
472993 teams will be assigned to 256 groups for round‑robin matches, with each group averaging about 1847 teams, to be fought over 30 days, which amounts to roughly 60 matches per day; the combat intensity is actually higher than in the preliminaries.
Moreover, it is no longer free time but a mandatory schedule; battles must occur within the fixed time slots, and if one is not in position, it is directly counted as a loss.
Xiao Feng took a look at his team's situation.
All teams with a 100% win rate in the preliminaries were scattered by the system and evenly distributed among the various groups to prevent
early elimination; his group is the 71st, which has only two full‑win‑rate teams in total: himself, and a Giant Beast Civilization team named 'One Bite, One Venerable'.
It looks like this group has no formidable opponents, so it's likely to be another easy month.
In other groups, however, a rather exciting situation has arisen—Shen Chuo's team and the Super Mecha Soldier No. 1's team have been drawn together!
Both teams qualified with full win rates, and they are the only two teams in the group with that record.
Each group can only send two teams to the final stage, so the other players sharing the group with them have already given up hope, while Xiao Feng, Tian Shen Zi, and other players are looking forward to the group‑stage clash between Super Mecha Soldier No. 1 and Shen Chuo, wondering what sparks will fly when they meet.
As soon as the group assignments were announced, the large crowd in the Human Alliance area became lively.
Xiao Feng teased, 'Old Shen, give it your all—figure out the old bottom of No. 1 completely clear, and once we reach the finals we'll take turns teasing him!'
The Gloom‑Blade Vanguard also laughed, 'Whether you can know No. 1's trump card in advance is up to you!'
Others took turns speaking, all of it just teasing and joking.
Nobody was worried about whether Shen Chuo would make it to the finals.
Because aside from No. 1 Mecha Soldier, the other teams are quite ordinary and could not possibly be a match for Shen Chuo's squad.
Shen Chuo himself said helplessly, 'I'll do my best; winning isn't likely, so I can only be the stone that tests the waters.'
Even in a one‑on‑one duel he would be hard‑pressed against No. 1 Mecha Soldier, let alone this being a 3v3 platform battle with two teammates as well.
The teammates of No. 1 Mecha Soldier are all eighth‑grade talent players, and even the substitutes are strong,
his teammates, while not bad, still have a considerable gap compared to them.
'The main event next month is your match; the others aren't worth mentioning. By then the audience will surely be huge, so you should also keep a trump card,' Xiao Feng proposed.
Even though there's no pressure to advance, for long‑term considerations we still can't reveal all our means.
Shen Chuo replied, 'Hmm, we'll see when the time comes.'
"【Today is a rest day!】"
