One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 215: The Round of 16 Begins! Bonus Rewards!

Lin Yi quickly dismissed the thought.

Nangong Ling wouldn't play such a prank for no reason; perhaps he's overthinking it.

Clicking on the website, Lin Yicai discovered that it was the official website of the Pan-Asian Youth Professionals Summit.

Lin Yi saw a new announcement on the homepage above the announcement about placing him in the top 16.

Announcement Regarding Additional Rewards for the Individual and Team Champions of this Peak Tournament

Lin Yi keenly noticed the word "reward".

Ok?
Isn't the reward for this competition just an entry ticket to the Trial Tower?
Are there any experts? !
Clicking on the announcement, Lin Yi scrolled down to the bottom and saw the key point.

"The winner of the individual championship will have the opportunity to fulfill a wish."

"The player can specify a piece of equipment, a certain material, a specific skill book, etc., which will be given to them free of charge by the event organizers."

"The MVP player who wins the team competition will also have the opportunity to make a wish."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

Just a second ago, he was worrying about where to get the materials to upgrade various ancient forbidden spells.

The next second, the official event organizers suddenly appeared and offered a helpful tip.

Lin Yi felt that he was indeed a person favored by luck.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

I'm so envious!

"This has never happened before!"

"I heard that if you actually win the championship, you can make any wish you want. If you want a mythical piece of equipment or material, the tournament organizers can ask a powerful expert to find it for you!"

"You've struck it rich, junior!"

"Those clay chickens and earthen dogs shouldn't be able to withstand one of your forbidden spells, right?"

Lin Yi responded with a simple, honest nod.

He's definitely going to win the championship and the team MVP!

Lin Yi replaced all the skills embedded in the three slots.

His attributes increased dramatically once again.

At the same time, the damage from a finger snap is also much higher.

In the Round of 16, there is no distinction between high-ranking and low-ranking groups.

There's no such thing as disabling skills or equipment.

That would be a demonstration of comprehensive strength!
……

Two days passed quietly.

The fifth day of the competition, early morning.

As dawn broke, the Penglai Island Arena was already packed with people, and the area around the arena was completely blocked by spectators from all over the world.

"Dear viewers, after four days of elimination rounds, the 16 finalists who have advanced to the individual competition have been determined!"

"Before introducing the 16 finalists, please allow me to introduce our special judging panel for this new stage!"

"Please welcome with applause Mr. Meng Yuanzhou, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Great Xia Professionals' Alliance and Executive Deputy Director of the Great Xia Education Bureau!"

In the lounge, Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

Master Meng?
He actually showed up here.

Lin Yi only knew that Elder Meng held a high position and wielded great power, but he never expected him to be this formidable.

Through the broadcast, he saw on the second floor of the Penglai Island Arena, on the judges' seat belonging to the Great Xia, Elder Meng walked out from the backstage and slowly approached amidst introductions.

However, beside him was a young man who looked humble and refined, with his eyes always narrowed and a faint smile on his face.

The squinty-eyed man seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was taken aback.

Keep in mind that he is currently watching the opening ceremony of the Round of 16 through a spirit crystal screen.

I did see Old Meng and this squinty-eyed young man on site.

But Lin Yi was certain that the squinting head tilt was looking at him.

Lin Yi even saw him nod slightly to him!

Damn it!
What kind of insight is this?

"And please welcome the second chief judge from the Great Xia side, the God of War, Mr. Cheng Xiao!" As A Liang finished speaking, the squinty-eyed young man in the camera waved to the audience in the entire venue.

He doesn't seem to have the airs of a war god at all.

On the contrary, they are very approachable.

Lin Yi understood.

No wonder those squinty eyes could "see" him through that strange perspective.

Perhaps in Cheng Xiao's eyes, this "God of War," he is no longer looking at people, but at "existence" itself.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Nakamura Hidenobu, Minister of War of the Tenrika of Japan!"

"And Ms. Tomoko Hayakawa!"

As two high-ranking officials from Japan appeared, Lin Yi's gaze sharpened.

He could sense that these two were also extremely powerful.

He should be a ninth-level professional like Meng Yuanzhou, but he hasn't reached the level of a War God yet.

To date, the Great Xia Dynasty has had a total of 24 War Gods.

Japan has 11.

The two war gods who previously hunted down Wan Chongshan are probably recovering from their injuries right now.

With the sinking of Kaze and Raimei Islands, Japan is probably preoccupied with its own problems and naturally did not send any top-tier figures to observe the final competition.

On the other side, Korea also sent two representatives, both of whom were at the ninth level of power.

Then judges from other countries who were also participating in the competition took to the stage one after another.

The representative sent by the Curry Country was naturally their Foreign Minister, Lakuri.

However, unlike the judges from other countries who were full of vigor when they took the stage.

Lakuri had a furrowed brow the whole time.

If we're talking about the country that suffered the most losses in the knockout stage, it has to be the Curry Nation.

Now one is dead and two are seriously injured.

The team will be at an inherent disadvantage in subsequent team competitions.

Therefore, Lakuri would love nothing more than to tear Lin Yi to pieces!
"After entering the round of 16, our competition rules have also changed a bit, and I would like to share them with you."

"The ban rules and home advantage rules in the knockout stage will no longer be in effect in subsequent matches."

"At the same time, all players can now enhance themselves in various ways, except for cheating methods that are prohibited in major competitions, including mutual assistance among teammates and the use of potions."

"There are no draws in any of the matches. If both players fall down and lose their ability to fight at the same time, our three chief referees, 12 assistant referees, and judges from various countries will determine the final winner based on their performance in the match."

"After each match, our professional judges will also give evaluations and suggestions to the two players who just played against each other."

"Opportunities to receive guidance from a Nine-Turn Master and a War God are rare. I hope all the contestants can show their best!"

"That concludes the introduction to the rules. Now, please welcome our three chief referees to the stage to draw lots!"

"The match schedule for the 16 players will be released shortly!"

In the rest room of the Da Xia athletes.

Zhao Enquan crossed his arms and looked nervous.

According to the competition rules, both the individual and team competitions will determine 5 spots for entry into the Trial Tower.

The top three finishers in the individual competition will secure three spots.

The remaining two spots will be decided based on the points earned by all members of the national team in the individual competitions.

The team with the higher cumulative ranking points will receive two more spots.

The remaining five spots will be reserved for the champion team of the team competition.

Currently, among the Da Xia team, only five people besides captain Lin Yi have made it into the top sixteen.

This is actually an excellent result of being among the top 6 out of 10 teams.

But Zhao Enquan was still not satisfied.

This also means that the likelihood of them fighting a civil war is greater.

Once there's an internal conflict, someone is destined to be eliminated in the round of 16, and their ranking points will naturally be lower.

"Draw a good fortune..."

Let's draw a good lot!
