The spacious living room is brightly lit, with special fireworks lanterns hanging upside down on the rows of beams, and the stone walls on both sides are inlaid with luminous pearls the size of pebbles, illuminating the faces of everyone present.

There is a tall and slender crane cauldron in each corner. The long crane's mouth is continuously winding, and wisps of white smoke are emitted from it, exuding a fragrance.

Li Qingwan was in the middle position at the top, looking at the more than a hundred people in front of her. These are all outstanding people from Qingshui County and are an important force in this competition.

"Our opponent in the first round has been decided, and it is Yinbai County."

As soon as this statement came out, many people present seemed to have expected it and were not surprised.

"As expected"

"I guessed it was Yinbai County, so they were in trouble."

"Who will choose us? Only Yinbai County must be forced to choose."

But not everyone understands it. There are also some people like Tie Tang who participate in the competition for the first time and don’t know anything.

Li Qingwan winked at Long Yu, who understood and stood up to explain to those who didn't understand.

Long Yu came out and faced the crowd of outstanding people sitting there, and said loudly, "Selection of opponents in the first round of the competition

It is based on the ranking of the eight major counties, and the top four are selected one by one according to their ranking.

The counties and cities participating in the competition this time are ranked according to their ranking

Tianshan County - Renxia County, ranked 65th, first among the eight counties.

Changdu County - Renxia County ranks 66

Ningjing County——Renxia County ranks 67

Yinbai County——Renxia County ranks 68

Xiuyang County——Renxia County ranks 69

Feng'an County - Renxia County ranks 70th

Anquan County——Renxia County ranks 72

As for our Qingshui County, we are ranked 71st. Naturally, we have no right to choose. We can only passively wait for others to choose.

And because Master Tietang is so famous, many counties and cities already know part of our Qingshui County’s strength.

So I guess the top three counties, Tianshan County, Changdu County, and Ningjing County, will not pick us, but will only pick the other three counties.

The fourth-ranked Yinbai County can only be forced to pick the rest of us.

I believe everyone has some details about this matter, so I won’t go into details.”

After Long Yu finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood. Li Qingwan waved her hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

"No matter which county it is, it doesn't matter. For others, the first round selection is very important, but it is the same for us.

Our goal is to be number one among the eight counties. Sooner or later we will have to play against all the counties and cities, so there is no need to worry about others."

Tie Tang stood up and asked, "Sir, what are the complete rules? Do I have to play tomorrow?"

Li Qingwan smiled and said, "Why are you anxious? It's time for you to take action.

Others may only need one or two battles, but you, the invincible free laborer, just be prepared to fight from beginning to end.

As for the complete rules, some of you may not know them, so I will briefly explain them.

The Eight-County Competition is different from previous years in that a level in the Secret Realm of Magical Witches has been cancelled, and a Wen Dou level has been added.

This competition mainly involves seven levels!

They are the seven levels of "Blood Exchange Realm", "Dragon Yuan Realm", "Supernatural Power Realm", "Linghui Realm", "Heavenly Heart Realm", "Magic Secret Realm" and "Wen Dou".

Taking our Qingshui County as an example, we need to conduct a level competition with the other seven counties one by one.

The eight counties will all fight against each other, at least once.

The ranking is calculated based on the points won in the level competition.

The completion of all seven rounds of competitions means that all eight counties have fought against each other once, and the corresponding scores will be released.

The rankings among our eight counties will be re-ranked based on the final scores.

If you get the first place in the eight counties, you can advance to participate in the competition in Renzhong County.

The first round of competition levels is randomly selected by the top four counties and cities, which is not unimportant.

But it's a pity

We in Qingshui County do not have the right to choose.

This time, Yinbai County has done enough intelligence work, and for the sake of safety, they chose the "Dragon Yuan Realm" level. This is also the weakest level in our competition.

Hey, who is willing to fight?"

As soon as Li Qingwan finished speaking, the meeting room immediately became agitated, and young people stood up one by one.

"Sir, I would like to take the lead!"

"Sir, I will open the door with a shot, let me go to fight."

"Sir, I will come, I will come. I have accumulated a large amount of witchcraft power in the Nest of the Divine Dove, which is not inferior to the Golden Body of the Star Sea. I am sure of victory."

Li Qingwan looked at the high-spirited people and nodded with satisfaction, morale can be used.

Compared with the silence and resistance in previous years, this year due to the emergence of two top players, everyone was uncharacteristically eager to make an impact in the competition.

Everyone knows that Qingshui County’s ranking will definitely rise this time. If you have worked hard at this time and it’s time to share the rewards, you will naturally not be left behind.

Dragon Yuan Realm!

These three words directly shut down Long Yu, Tie Tang, and Ji Yingzhe.

None of them were able to participate in this stage of the competition, so Li Qingwan was right when she said that the Dragon Yuan Realm was the weakest level.

Tie Tang was below, listening carefully to Li Qingwan's explanation of the rules, ignoring the people who were eager to challenge him, and tasted many unusual meanings from the rules.

Li Qingwan sounds simple and relaxed, but in fact it tests the county's ability in all aspects. Even before the competition begins, there is an extremely important assessment that cannot be ignored.

Information!

Since it involves choosing an opponent and a level to compete with, choosing who to be your opponent and which level to compete with are not random choices.

Instead, you must rely heavily on intelligence capabilities and fully grasp the strength of your opponent's counties and cities in order to minimize your weaknesses and highlight your strengths.

The selection of opponents and levels in the first round seems random, but in fact it is a benefit to the top four counties.

For example, Tianshan County, which ranks first, can organize its troops after learning the strength of the major counties and cities through various means.

It first picked Anquan County, which ranked last, naturally to pinch the weak persimmons.

But how to pinch this soft persimmon is also very particular.

Tianshan County needs to try its best to let the weakest side of its seven major levels play, and then ensure that it can completely win, only then can it be completely grasped.

If your weakest level is consumed by weak persimmons, you can free up powerful levels to deal with other stronger counties.

On the surface, it seems that each of the eight major counties and cities must compete with each other once, but how they compete with each other is very important.

The ranking may even rise or fall due to selection issues, not all relying on the strength of one's own county.

Strength is just your weapon, but if you don't use the weapon well, it may fall apart.

Li Qingwan didn't care because she wanted to win the first place in the eight counties, and with Tietang, Longyu and her own location, she was full of confidence and didn't plan too much.

Ji Yingzhe came over and said with a smile, "Now we in Qingshui City can be considered a tough opponent. Others have at least three major hurdles and dare not pick us."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Tie Tang raised his eyebrows, wanting to see what the other party's opinion was.

"Of the seven levels, Wen Dou is the weirdest. Because it is the first time, no one knows the specific situation, and there is definitely no corresponding manpower prepared.

Therefore, everyone will try to avoid this level as much as possible. They want to watch the competition between other counties and cities first to find out the flaws of Wen Du.

Leaving aside this level, there are many masters of the Heavenly Mind State, and there are not only a few great witches of the soul who have been around for many years. There are all kinds of talents and wizards.

No matter which county among the eight counties, this level is the most powerful level. Unless you are sure of winning, you will generally not choose it first.

I don't know much about the Mysterious Realm of Magical Witches, but this level is extremely bloody every time. I'm afraid it's the most brutal level among the seven levels, and it probably won't be staged in advance.

In the remaining "Exchange Realm", "Supernatural Power Realm" and "Linghui Realm", you and Long Yu exist, and your reputation has already spread. Who dares to challenge?

Isn’t that a bonus?”

"What you said makes sense, but you overlooked one point."

Ji Yingzhe was puzzled and asked, "Which point?"

"The only level where our Qingshui County can truly be called invincible is the blood exchange level.

In other levels where I participated in the battle, it was by no means guaranteed to win because of the Inspection Department.

It may even become a loophole for other counties and cities to specially select."

After listening to the rules, Tie Tang immediately understood that the key point of this competition was none other than himself.

Originally the trump card of Qingshui County, I might become a flaw in the county-city competition, and be forcibly broken by others relying on loopholes in the rules of the Inspection Department.

It seems that this competition may not be as easy as I imagined. In the final analysis, we still have to look at the strength of other counties and cities, as well as Qingshui County itself.
