Chapter 249 248. Nine Decisions (Part )
"Your steps are bigger than mine."
"I'm still thinking about the competition system and rules, whether there are any loopholes, whether someone will take advantage of them, how to negotiate and communicate, whether the various forces on the Dou Er side agree, whether we should form alliances, how to distribute benefits, and how to integrate and dispatch resources."
"And you've already thought of the prize."
"Can't wait to get it?"
Ye Qingcang laughed in silence and tapped the paper cup. The water in the cup, which had just been empty, suddenly filled up again, like a magic trick.
"It would be a lie to say I don't care about the prize."
"It's rare to have a suitable reason to get some money."
"I'd rather fleece you, a wealthy dog owner."
"It's normal to be a little concerned... um?"
"But even if I care, there are only a few baits I can eat... You are fifteen years old this year, and you will be sixteen in a few months. Among the nine competitions, except for the first competition for those under twelve years old, the sixth competition for those over a hundred years old, and the eighth competition for those above ninety levels, you can definitely win all the championships in the remaining six competitions. I mean the individual and team competitions... If I go, I can only make up the numbers at best."
"And in these three decisions, I also did not comply with the rules."
"I can only bite the bullet and fight you for the remaining six decisions."
"It shouldn't be too much to satisfy my curiosity in advance, right?"
Qian Renxue asked back in a joking tone.
However, since it was just a joke, Qian Renxue didn't dwell on the issue.
After laughing twice, we got back to the topic.
Bringing the topic back to the original point: "Since you mentioned the rules and regulations of the competition, let's follow your suggestion and analyze it in depth... There will be no conflicts in terms of time, quotas, and matches, right?"
"Time wise, it's a bit of a hassle."
"It doesn't matter how many people there are. If there are too many people, we can add another arena. If one arena is not enough, we can add more until there are enough."
"Even if there are a million people, it's an individual competition."
"I can also screen sixty-four people in a day."
"One competition venue, with an additional 100,000 rings."
"One match can separate 100,000 winners and 100,000 losers. It only takes five matches to separate the one million people into 500,000 winners and 500,000 losers. Then let these winners fight in pairs. 250,000 winners will automatically enter the next round. Let them fight in pairs again, and we can get 125,000 winners. It doesn't matter if there are a few odds. When the number is less than 128 but more than 64, the rankings will be arranged according to the combined fighting time of these people. Those who object to the ranking will have one challenge opportunity. If they succeed, they will automatically take over the position of the loser. If they fail, they will follow the current ranking. Within one day, the top 64 can be selected. Then, after a night's rest, the top 64 will enter the top 32."
"After the top 32 are decided, we will rest for one night and then decide the top 16."
"And so on. Another night of rest. Quarterfinals."
"Another night of rest, the top four."
"One more night of rest, four into two."
"Rest for another night, and then we'll fight for the championship and runner-up." "In other words, we'll have seven days to finish the showdown."
"Among them, the individual competition is scheduled in the morning and the team competition is scheduled in the afternoon."
"It just so happens that the awards ceremony will be held on the eighth day. This also gives time for those who want to sign up for other events to register, and also gives those who want to sign up for other events time to adjust their status."
"Can all the soul masters in the continent add up to a million people?"
Ye Qingcang estimated the data in his mind.
Qian Renxue was the same: "If they are soul masters, they are all over the continent. As long as they awaken their martial souls, they are all soul masters. Only after they obtain their first soul ring can they be called soul masters. The number of soul masters is as high as 430,000 in the records of our Spirit Hall. Moreover, the actual number is often higher, because sects like the Haotian Sect, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, etc. will not put all their soul masters on the register of the Spirit Hall next year. They would rather not have the subsidy of those gold soul coins, but also conceal the actual number of people. According to the calculation of the 3,000 inner disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, including those affiliated soul masters, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has about 20,000 soul masters. However, as long as the 3,000 inner disciples are not injured, even if the remaining more than 10,000 soul masters die, they are nothing more than a group of cannon fodder. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect can recruit more from the outside. Anyway, they are an auxiliary sect and have no shortage of cannon fodder... After careful calculation, there are about 600,000 soul masters on the continent."
Every sect has some affiliated forces.
The Haotian Sect has four attribute families and several thousand people.
This is the result of being suppressed.
Before being suppressed by the Spirit Hall, the four attribute families together had nearly 20,000 people, not to mention some other small families affiliated with the Haotian Sect, as well as the Haotian Sect's own four to five thousand disciples.
Just search and you can find 30,000 people.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has recruited wild soul masters.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are examples.
If we include all the independent cultivators who have come to join us, we can gather together 20,000 people.
The Blue-spot Tyrannosaurus Rex family has many small families derived from mixed-blood dragon descendants. Because dragons are inherently lustful, even the former clan leader Yu Yuanzhen has many wives and concubines. Liu Erlong's biological mother was once a prostitute and was chosen by Yu Luomian, who gave birth to Liu Erlong. It can be seen how many soul masters have accidentally awakened mixed-blood dragons or pure-blooded Blue-spot Tyrannosaurus Rex. After these soul masters become adults, those who can make a name for themselves naturally want to return to their ancestors, while those who cannot naturally take the path of clinging to others. Therefore, if you count carefully, although the number of Blue-spot Tyrannosaurus Rex is not large, only more than 3,000 people, but these more than 3,000 people are all direct descendants. If those mixed-blood dragon descendants are included, there can be 20,000 people.
The three sects together can form an army of 70,000.
At that time, the Spirit Hall could also gather 70,000 people.
Therefore, don't blame the three upper sects for being so confident, thinking that even after joining forces, the Spirit Hall might not be able to defeat them; the number of people at the grassroots level is equal, the number of middle-level people is equal, and the high-level people have some small disadvantages, but because Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had an agreement, Bibi Dong had not yet grown up, and there were only eight of the nine elders of the Spirit Hall back then, so they could be evenly matched in a head-on confrontation.
If you play a positional battle, focus on defense.
Even if the Spirit Hall opens its mouth wide, they can only get away with their teeth broken.
The so-called Spirit Hall controls more than 70% of the soul masters in the entire continent, but that is only the soul masters who have registered with the Spirit Hall, 70% of the 600,000 people, or about 420,000 people. If Qian Xunji really had 420,000 people back then, he would not have to care about Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's trivial matters, because even if the top three sects joined forces, 70,000 against 420,000, they would still be easily crushed.
At worst, I can just find another woman to have the baby with.
The starting lifespan of a Titled Douluo is three hundred years.
Super Douluo can live for six or seven hundred years.
"So, even if we get them all, there will definitely not be more than one million people." Qian Renxue gave a conclusion: "Even if there are 600,000 soul masters in the Dou II world, or even more than that, assuming there are really one million soul masters, if we count these 1.6 million soul masters together, whether half of them can participate in the Nine Battles is a question mark. Everyone has self-knowledge, and assuming that there are ordinary people who really participate, there will only be 800,000 people. Excluding a few with too high requirements, such as the one who is above level 90 and the one who is over 100 years old, even if a certain battle is suddenly full, it will not exceed 400,000 people, because the energy of soul masters is limited... Some duels can even be completed in one day. Even if all the Nine Battles are played, the time is stretched to the limit, it is only 72 days."
"Two and a half months... a few days less." Ye Qingcang nodded: "In the past, the Soul Master Competition, including the preliminaries before the start of the competition, also took two months. An extra half month will hardly make any difference."
