Afternoon, 2:45.

The 64 candidates for the knockout round were led by the examiner to the negative first floor under the square.

Get ready for the knockout round in 15 minutes.

"Group A: Su Yan, Xu Haolong, Fang Pingyuan, An Shihua, Yang Jianming..."

"Group B: Qin Yao, Li Changxiao, Lu Shuyu, Qin Hansheng, Su Yuyue..."

The examiner held a list in his hand and read out the names of the candidates divided into groups one by one.

According to the groups on the list, he asked the 64 candidates present to line up in two teams and stand facing him in the form of a blunt triangle.

After lining up for a while.

The examiner stood with his hands behind his back and began to briefly introduce the rules of the elimination round to the candidates in front of him.

"There are a total of 6 rounds in the knockout round. The first three rounds of competition are conducted on multiple martial arts platforms at the same time, and the last three rounds of competition are only conducted on a single martial arts platform."

"The matching mechanism is group matching, that is, candidates in Group A match candidates in Group B."

"There is only one chance to compete. The winner will advance directly to the next round, and the loser will be eliminated directly."

"By analogy, half of the people will be eliminated in each round of competition, and you can win the top prize if you win 6 games in a row."

"The matching list will be displayed on the big screen in the center of the square when it ascends to the square."

"As for the competition rules on the martial arts stage, everyone who has experienced the auditions all morning must be very clear in their hearts at this moment."

"So, I won't go into details about the competition rules."

After briefly introducing the rules, the examiner looked at the candidates in front of him and asked:

"That's all I have to say. Does anyone have any doubts about this?"

When the candidates heard the sound, they immediately replied in a relatively neat voice: "No!"

The examiner nodded.

He immediately said:

"Okay, everyone, stand still. In one minute, we will rise to the center of the square."

One minute is very short.

But for the 64 candidates present, this moment seems as long as a year.

We have experienced no less than a hundred competitions of various sizes in the three years of high school, but this is the first time for such a large-scale and grand national live broadcast competition.

Many candidates who are relatively reserved are very nervous at this moment, and their bodies feel a little limp and weak.

"Su Yan, are you panic?"

The talkative Li Changxiao on the side spoke to Su Yan again.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything."

Su Yan said calmly, his whole face looked very calm.

Li Changxiao said: "My mentality is really good, unlike me, who is panicking to death right now."

"I'm really afraid that in the first round of the written test, I'll be matched with people like you and be kicked out."

"I hope God will bless me and allow you perverts to fight among themselves in the first few rounds, and then I will match the weak chickens all the way."

"In this case, maybe I can pretend to be the second best and gain some face for myself."

Su Yan smiled when he heard this: "Then I wish you good luck. Anyone you match will be a free baby."

Said.

A minute passed quickly.

At this moment, the floor under everyone's feet suddenly trembled.

Then, it slowly rose upwards like an elevator, approaching the ceiling above.

Click click click......

Along with a tearing sound, the ceiling above everyone's heads suddenly cracked with a large crack, and the doorway suddenly opened wide.

Then very quickly, everyone followed the floor beneath their feet and rose out of the first floor below.

Then what greeted them was.

There were bursts of noisy conversations and a darkness less than two meters away.

The lights in the square were turned off at that time.

At a glance, all you can see are patches of hazy, invisible darkness.

One candidate murmured: "It's so dark."

However, most of the candidates were still standing quietly.

Waiting for the knockout rounds to begin.

"Ka! Ka! Ka!"

suddenly!

Following three clicks, three dazzling lights shot evenly from the sky above the stadium onto the high platform of the square.

All of a sudden!

Two slender figures standing on the high platform appeared in front of everyone in vain.

One is a handsome guy wearing a black suit, shiny leather shoes, and fresh and sunny hair.

One is a beautiful woman wearing a silk dress, high heels, and three thousand hair hanging down to her shoulders.

At this moment!

The man and woman who appeared on the high platform were none other than Zhao Lei and Qin Min, the host and hostess who had no presence in the audition.

"Let me go, what kind of combination is this?"

Li Changxiao looked up at the handsome man and woman on the high platform and couldn't help but complain.

"One is wearing a modern-style suit, and the other is wearing an ancient-style long skirt. Is this a magical combination that anyone can come up with?"

"Wuyuzi! Wuyuzi!"

Not only Li Changxiao, but also most of the candidates on the stage thought so.

But there is one thing to say, although the dressing styles of the two hosts are seriously inconsistent.

But at first glance, it doesn't feel inconsistent at all. The man is still handsome, the woman is still beautiful, and they look quite pleasing to the eye.

Sure enough, as long as the person looks good.

No matter what clothes you wear, it will eventually become a beautiful scenery.

"Wet mud and bricks!"

good afternoon everyone!"

"I'm glad we meet again!"

The two hosts said in loud voices.

Then, the male host Zhao Lei said:

"After the long auditions in the morning, and the wonderful finals just now."

"At this moment, we are finally ushering in the knockout round that we have been longing for!"

"I announce! The knockout competition for the 2021 No. 1 pick in Nanjiang Province starts now!"

As soon as the male host finished speaking, there was a burst of warm cheers and shouts.

at the same time.

The surrounding lighting engineers, photographers and other on-site staff are also getting ready.

After feeling the atmosphere of the scene, the male host Zhao Lei immediately burst out with blood.

He said to the audience in a loud voice: "Everyone in the audience please welcome our 64 knockout contestants with the warmest applause!"

The male host just finished speaking!

In an instant, several dazzling lights illuminated the platform where all the candidates were sitting.

The faces of every candidate above are clearly and brightly presented in front of everyone.

And then!

A wave of fierce applause suddenly erupted from all directions.

"Bah bang bang!"

"Pap-pap-pap-pap!"

"Bah bang bang!"
