The Group Stage Is Over

"You can't make a mistake, can you? This class of freshmen?" A sixth-level planet master shook his head.

It is unbelievable. Not just him, there are also doubts in the eyes of the other sixth-level planet masters. After all, the name Jiang Fan is relatively common, so the same name is also possible.

"This is indeed the freshman of my school this year." The man in blue said. "Is he the one who claims to be the strongest freshman in the Federation this year, Jiang Fan!?"

Every big guy is a bit surprised. To know this class of freshmen, it has been less than half a year since he was promoted to the second-level planet master, so the diameter of the planet will not exceed 3,000 kilometers at most. The created race is not yet fully formed and It is far from those old second-level planet masters.

Even the Daozi who is one of the best among the freshmen and Princess Elu of the empire, It's hard to squeeze into the top 100,000. Now you tell me that this Jiang Fan is in the top 2,000!? There was silence.

Subsequently, an old man opened his mouth and asked, "In the previous Star Competition, have any freshmen made it from the group stage to the knockout stage?"

"I don't know about the entire Endless Star Territory." A sixth-level planet master replied: "But for our Changkong star region, It's not bad to be able to squeeze into the top 100,000. Where can there be such a line? If this Jiang Fan can appear in the group this year, then he made history."

"Yes, it does make history." Another sixth-level planet master nodded slightly.

"Look, it's not easy to talk about." The blue-clothed man said calmly: "There are only one hundred places to qualify for each group, and the rest are the best among the second-tier planet masters. The competition will be extremely terrifying."

As the man in blue said, each group though was assigned over a million entrants, but there can only be a hundred. It is one in ten thousand. The competition is getting fiercer the deeper it is.

On the fourth day, the playing field is further reduced, the remaining tens of thousands of teams can't hide. No one is weak, especially those secondary peak planet masters. At the forefront of this group, the Great Wilderness Army also gained some fame.

"I heard that this is the strongest freshman in the Federation this year?" Next to the Great Wilderness Army, an extraordinary team is monitoring this site. Behind the contestants, a white-haired male is also observing. Although it is in the game, everyone's communicator can still be used. The characteristics of the Great Wilderness Army are very obvious, soon, they found the origin of the Great Wilderness Army.

"Having created two races, Musketeers and Pilots, how could a freshman rank in the top two thousand?" The white-haired man also felt a little weird. "Maybe it's just luck, how can a freshman be so strong."

The white-haired man also lived to be hundreds of years old and he has met hundreds of freshmen, but never one like Jiang Fan.

"Hmph, I don't believe that the true strength of this freshman can rank in the top two thousand. Since I have come across it, then..." The corners of the white-haired man's mouth curled into a smile, "Even if you are unlucky."

The white-haired man thought he was lucky and met a fat sheep, immediately allowing his extraordinary race to rush towards the Great Wilderness Army. As a result, there are no surprises, even the firepower network of the Fighter group could not break through. Many extraordinary creatures were killed and injured, so there was no suspense in the end. The white-haired old man was furious, but he can only choose to admit defeat.

A lot of star fragments fell from the ground and several giant gorillas immediately ran over to pick them up. At a glance, there are at least thousands of these star fragments, so Jiang Fan's ranking has risen again and climbed to the top thousand.

As time goes by, the Great Wilderness Army has killed more and more opponents and its fame is also growing. Now the people in this group know that one of this year's Commonwealth freshmen broke into the top 500. Some don't believe it, so there are many more extraordinary teams who came to challenge the Great Wilderness Army, but all of them were sent for star fragments.

After the fourth day ends, Jiang Fan's ranking has reached the top two hundred. And this time, there are already less than 10,000 people in the group. On this day, again, a large number of contestants were eliminated.

Day 5, It's the last day of the group stage. At the craziest time, regardless of your strength, as long as you don't get enough points before the deadline at 8 pm, you can only be eliminated. This made the contestants at the bottom of the ranking go in full swing and attack other extraordinary teams at all costs.

The Great Wilderness Army sat firmly and did not take the initiative. But if someone comes, it is impossible to sit back and ignore it. And the Great Wilderness Army has now become a fat sheep in the eyes of many people. Many people are thinking of getting a lot of star fragments from the Great Wilderness Army, but the same as the extraordinary team ahead, they were beaten down. Their Star Fragments were accepted by the Great Wilderness Army.

By noon, the digital display of the star fragments obtained by the Great Wilderness Army has exceeded 20,000. The total number of participants in the group is only more than one million, which means that even if the Great Wilderness Army didn't get any more Star Fragments, they are still locked in a top 100 spot.

Jiang Fan glanced at his points panel, compared to the first day, the above has changed dramatically. Jiang Fan's name is very high.

{ Contestant: Jiang Fan

Location: Planet 81

Rank: 57 }

But the Great Wilderness Army did not dare to be careless, as there are thousands of remaining contestants, and they are all very desperate. Huo Qubing discussed with Xu Ji, and a good terrain was chosen to get ready for defense. After the previous battle, the Great Wilderness Army also felt that the opponent's strengths are getting stronger and stronger and the supply in hand are gradually becoming insufficient.

"The armor-piercing effect of armor-piercing projectiles is not suitable for some extraordinary creatures." Xu Ji said with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid we have to make preparations and replace it with the new generation."

"Let's get through this group stage first." Huo Qubing also rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "The performance of the new firearms is all right, the key is the problem of energy, otherwise mass production would have been possible."

That's right, an important point that limits the current Xia Guo technology is energy. Energy sources for all walks of life in the Xia Kingdom, the main chemical energy sources are oil and coal, as the Nuclear project is still under intense development. Although significant progress has been made, it is still a long way from mass adoption.

"No, let's use a Missile first." Huo Qubing finally made a decision.

In the fight for this glory, the Great Wilderness Army prepared a lot of Missiles and bullets. But missiles are much more expensive than armor-piercing bombs, If used all the time and can't finish the group stage, the Xia Guo will run out of money. While the group stage continues to this day, this is the main reason why the Missile has not been used at a time.

The Contest of Stars is still long, so don't use it as much as you can and wait until the critical moment to use it. Fortunately, after the morning fight, the Great Wilderness Army is famous, so no one came to challenge them casually. And the higher-ranked ones are impossible to deal with for no reason. Mainly after the 100th, they will do nothing.

Time is passing slowly, Jiang Fan saw the extraordinary teams around them fighting each other desperately. One after another was eliminated, so there are less than a thousand left. This last half day has turned into the most intense moment of the group stage. Each remaining contestant is almost the top performer of the year, so there is not much difference in strength between them.

No one dared to provoke the Great Wilderness Army, as now everyone knows that it is the Musketeer and Pilot created by Jiang Fan and they have extremely terrifying long-range output firepower. Under the defensive formation, no one would be foolish enough to come and attack.

Although all afternoon, the Great Wilderness Army did not have a single battle and the points did not move at all, the ranking has risen by two places. This is of course because the exceptional team of contestants in the front was attacked by the other teams and was eliminated. The Star Fragments fell in half, so the rankings also dropped.

By seven o'clock in the evening, nearly eight o'clock, the fight continues and there are more than 100 contestants left in the venue. They are extremely crazy, but time was running out.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, four, three, two,..." Many spectators outside were shouting the countdown until it resets to zero.

On the planet, all teams, whether they are fighting each other or not were sent back to their respective planets. It also means that the five-day group stage is officially over and the final rankings of each group were also determined.

There are a total of one thousand, and each group has a quota of 100 people. Add up a total of 100,000 people successfully advanced to the knockout rounds. No matter how many people there are, this is among the second-level planet masters who number more than one billion in the entire Changkong star region rushed out. All of them are the powerhouses of the second-level planet master powerhouses. The quota occupied by the entire federation is less than one-tenth. Even fewer fall in the thirty-six super-first-class universities.

Jiang Fan's ranking is also determined.

{ Contestant: Jiang Fan

Location: Planet 81

Rank: 55 }

He is in the middle ranking and Jiang Fan was not surprised by this. If you do your best, you able to rank higher. But it doesn't make much sense either, out of the line is completely enough.

At the same time, some of the people watching the battle outside were happy and some were sad. The Thirty-six super-first-class universities did not have any mood swings, as the results of the group stage were the same as they had expected. The same is true for the old man in blue from Beidou University, adding Jiang Fan. This year's Beidou University has ten people that successfully qualified from the group, It's barely satisfactory.

"This Jiang Fan made it to the knockout round?" In a luxurious palace, Princess Elu has been staring at Jiang Fan's ranking. It's still unbelievable.

"He should have created the historical record of our long sky star region, and there is no doubt that he is the strongest freshman in history." The old man in black next to her said.

And in the villa of Su Jicheng and Lin Youhe, there is a boil.

"Miracle. It's a miracle." A school leader was excited and authentic.

"I previously predicted that Jiang Fan would be ranked in the top 100,000 at most, but I didn't expect that he would be able to qualify. This is a good face." An old teacher also laughed.

But not everyone is happy, in the villa of Ao Xiong, a group of people are half happy and half worried. The joy is that the Prince ranked first, smoothly out of the line. The worry is, that Jiang Fan, who they think will be eliminated soon, made it to the knockout round.

"Is this Jiang Fan that strong? This is a group match where hundreds of the strongest second-level planet masters in the entire Changkong star region participated, he can also break through?" There was a hint of surprise in one of the teachers' eyes, it is a little unbelievable.

"If Jiang Fan and the Prince were in the same class, or even born two or three years earlier, then the Prince would be in big trouble." Another teacher said the same.

The others frowned slightly, but there is no objection. Even if they don't want to admit it, the talent and this growth rate, he can't compare to Jiang Fan at all.

"Don't say that." Ao Xiong waved his hand and said, "The Stars Competition doesn't care what talent or age you are, it's all about your current strength, Jiang Fan is good, but his ranking is only over 50 in the group, which is far from the Prince. In the knockout round, he will not go too far, you don't have to worry about him, and cheer for the Prince."

"Makes sense." The corner of Li Zihao's mouth curled up with a smile, and said, "There are only 1,000 winners in the entire Changkong star region, and most of the 100,000 people who qualify for the group have no chance, even the first place in the group is possible."

And in Lin Youhe villa, four people have turned the sky over and throw things all over the house and indulged to their heart's content.

"No matter how far Jiang Fan can go, I have to support him." Lin Youhe took a deep breath and dialed the communicator and said, "Dad, book me a box ticket for the knockout round. What? You don't have it? Then pay for it. My brother has reached the knockout stage. I have to support a wave."

Hanging up the communication, the three looked over. Xiang Zhifei asked, "How is it? Can we get the tickets?"

"It should be fine." Lin Youhe was quite confident and said, "My dad was originally unwilling, but when he heard that it was Jiang Fan's knockout round, he immediately agreed."

"Should we go to Jiang Fan to celebrate?" Jian Ziqiang suggested.

"No need." Lin Youhe shook his head and said, "The knockout round will start in three days, and the time is very urgent. Let's let Jiang Fan calm down and prepare well."

After the group stage is over, each contestant was sent back to their original location. Jiang Fan returned to his villa and he exhaled slightly. He turned on the communicator and found that there are a lot of newsletters and messages in there.

During the game, Jiang Fan turned off the communicator. Most of these communications and messages are from friends and teachers, and some strangers. Jiang Fan took a few glances and most are congratulatory. He replied to Su Jicheng and Lin Youhe, then turn off the communicator. Put your heart and soul into preparing for the knockout rounds.

"According to the situation of the group stage, the power of armor-piercing bombs is not enough." Jiang Fan rubbed his chin and thought: "The main reason is that the armor-piercing bullet has reached its limit, and there is no room for improvement. New weapons must be used."

Jiang Fan knows that this is also the upper limit of gunpowder. The current armor-piercing projectile mainly relies on the kinetic energy generated by gunpowder to launch and relying on the advanced technology of Xia Guo, the speed is also nearly two kilometers per second, but this is the limit.

Fortunately, the Great Wilderness Army developed other weapons decades ago. Now, this new weapon is technically more practical. The only difficulty is the energy source, as it requires a lot of power.

Now Xia Guo's battery can only fire this new weapon five times at a time and then it's used up and recharging is required. This is a huge waste of time. But battery technology is unlikely to progress in a short period and there might be no breakthroughs for a few years. This is a headache, so the Great Wilderness Army has produced a lot of missiles and bullets.

In the event of a last resort, they will carry out the bombing. But this is not a conventional tactic, after all, It might work just fine at first, but those extraordinary creatures in the back will surely disperse quickly. The next knockout with so many opponents, If you want to win the Changkong star area, you must at least face millions of extraordinary species. Besides, the farther in the back, the stronger the opponent is, so missiles are not everything.

"Mainly a battery charging issue?" Jiang Fan thought about it and suddenly thought of something. He immediately enter the awakening space and his eyes were aimed at the very naughty Electric Mouse on the third land. "These guys..."

Watching an Electric Mouse emit a terrifying electric light and blast a boulder directly, Jiang Fan's eyes lit up. After decades of reproduction, the current size of the group has reached millions and spread over half of the third land area. Like a mouse, the Electric Mouse can give birth to several litters each year and is stronger than before. The weak electricity of the first generation of Electric Mouse is still fresh in his memory, and now the Electric Mouse after hundreds of generations, It's downright terrifying.

"I don't know if this will work?" Jiang Fan pondered for a while and decided to give it a try.

He used his identity as the master of the planet and started to ascend to the millions of Electric Mouse. A wave of volatility was issued and these fluctuations carried the will of Jiang Fan.

When this wave of volatility swept through the Electric Mouse tribe, one after another, the Electric Mouse stopped their movements and raised their head involuntarily to look up to the sky. They don't know where the volatility is coming from, but they roughly understand what it meant. The great expedition is about to begin, and the Electric Mouse is ready to cooperate with human beings to fight together.

"Humanity!?" The Electric Mouse tilted their heads.

And on the side of Xia Kingdom, inside the star house, Jiang Fan also showed a line of text again.

"Huh? On the third land, there are such amazing animals?" After seeing these words, Xia Ning, Huo Qubing, Xu Ji, and the others all widened their eyes.

The third land was naturally discovered by Xia Guo long ago, but because they were busy with the supreme glory battle, there is no time to explore.

"That's an obvious reminder." Huo Qubing's face showed a hint of excitement and said: "This way, there is probably a temporary solution to our charging problem."

Tips from Jiang Fan, there is no doubt from the seven members of the cabinet. After a brief discussion, Huo Qubing personally led the team and go to the third land and bring a batch of Electric Mouse back.

"It should be no problem." Jiang Fan muttered to himself.

Uneasy, he chose to use the deduction system and played a bit, as the result reassured Jiang Fan. The will of the master of this planet is still very useful and the Electric Mouse is also extremely intelligent, so It quickly became clear what it meant. What's next It doesn't need Jiang Fan to intervene. Three days until the knockout rounds, Jiang Fan adjusted the time flow to one year. Huo Qubing brought back the Electric Mouse very smoothly and this Electric Mouse is very cooperative.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye and Jiang Fan is also ready. Unlike the group stage, the knockout round is fully live, and there are also tickets for spectators. If you want to see it with your own eyes, buy tickets and you can go to the match planet to watch live.

Compared with a large number of people, the strength of the group stage is uneven, so only the knockout rounds are worth watching. All of them are the top existences among the second-level planet masters. The same as the group stage, the knockout rounds also start at 8 pm.

The entire long sky star region is already boiling. Many made it to the forces behind the knockout players and bought a lot of tickets. They send a lot of people to cheer on their people. Beidou University is no exception. Although only ten people made it out this year, there were a lot of spectators watching the game, so tickets are already sold out. Even, some people spent several times the price to get tickets from some special channels.

According to the rules, players in the knockout rounds must enter the field one hour earlier. At seven o'clock at night, Jiang Fan is the same as the other contestants, he steps onto the stage of this knockout round.
