"If we don't summon the Yuling, they will still be wary of us."
Ke Ji saw the situation and spoke.
Luo Tang nodded.
He also understood what Xiaosheng and Jian Eryi were doing.
"They just want to give themselves an explanation."
Luo Tang remembered the exchange between the two before the battle, and even looked at them, and then the battle began.
It can be seen that the battle between the two people is related to their special audiences.
One did not summon the imperial spirit.
Two is somewhat restrained.
The two of them didn't fight for long.
Falling to the ground after a collision.
Sword Twenty-One stopped where he was, sheathed his sword, turned around and handed over to the referee.
"Referee, I admit defeat."
Opposite Xiaosheng seemed to still have some unfinished ideas.
"I have never experienced such a fun battle since I came out of the mountain."
He looked at the direction of the sword that Jian Twenty-One had just withdrawn.
"Although your left-hand swordsmanship is good, it's not very powerful."
"Your dominant hand is your right hand, right? Why do you only use the child sword and not the mother sword?"
Jian Twenty-one was not surprised that Xiaosheng recognized his swordsmanship.
"It's meaningless... I'm going against the elders' request by fighting you this time. If I still use the Mother Sword, I won't be able to deal with it that easily after I go back."
Jian Twenty-One said, looking at the long bulge hidden under the sleeves of the folding fan in Xiaosheng's hand.
"Don't you have something to hold back?"
Hearing this, Xiaosheng smiled.
"Interesting...among my peers in Xiaoyao Pavilion, I have never seen anyone as interesting as you."
"When this exchange competition is over, if you are interested, you can come to my Xiaoyao Pavilion and I will take you to have a good time."
Jian Blackjack nodded and said nothing more.
The referee on the stage also announced the result of the game.
"Is this the right one? What does it mean to admit defeat as soon as you get on stage!"
"That's right! If I can watch a few more games like this, this trip will not be in vain!"
"..."
The audience in the audience was also unsatisfied.
Although the battle between the two sides was not long.
But the almost invisible battle scene brought about a sonic boom atmosphere, giving them a strange sense of pleasure!
"The game is over, let's go back. This trip is not in vain."
Bai Yuxuan curled his lips, stood up quickly, and walked out first.
Luo Tang and others followed one after another.
When Xiao Feng saw this scene not far away, his face turned slightly ugly.
Jianyue didn't want to say anything more to him, so he immediately stood up and walked down.
He wanted to take his disciples back to rest.
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Hotel, multi-purpose room on the 25th floor.
Luo Tang and others gathered here.
Not just Oceanwide.
All contestants from the Imperial Capital, Military Headquarters, Yanshan, Xijiang, and Nanhai gathered here.
Standing on the stage were the instructors of the six schools.
"Everyone saw the situation just now. Xiaoyao Pavilion and Jiange Pavilion openly admitted defeat and gave up the game on the field, just because they didn't want to expose too much strength in front of us."
"The group stage is okay. Everyone is in the first tier and will not be in the same group. If it comes to the knockout stage later, if we are direct teams, we will have a direct dialogue."
"I hope we can be like them and try to retain as much strength as possible on the basis of a fair duel."
Imperial Capital instructor Bai Xiuling stood on the stage and gave everyone a brief summary of the situation.
Lin Junchu and other tutors from each school nodded.
This is the result of their impromptu meeting at noon.
Fair duel is the basis.
Preserving strength is key.
Schools with widely different strengths met, such as Dijing and Nanhai.
No matter from which aspect, the South China Sea is bound to lose.
Therefore, the South China Sea only needs two symbolic duels to admit defeat.
If schools of similar strength meet.
For example, the Imperial Capital and the Military Department.
Then it’s a normal duel.
In the previous games, everyone understood each other's strength and didn't need to take it too seriously.
During the final five-on-five game.
Let's all compete fairly.
While Luo Tang nodded, he was also confused.
When it comes to the final five-on-five, it is said that there will be fair exchanges on the basis of retaining strength, but it is unrealistic to implement.
In the end, I guess I will try my best to fight.
After all, they have similar strengths and both have opportunities. It is impossible for everyone to say that they will directly give the opportunity to the opponent.
However, the good news is that when it comes time for a strong school showdown, it will definitely be at the end of this exchange competition.
The afternoon passed quickly.
The time came to eight o'clock in the evening.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the final qualifying round ended.
Eight places are generated.
All twenty-four teams entering the group stage are in place.
Nanhai Yulingshi University Central Square.
The drawing ceremony has been prepared.
Xie Lanmeng, as the host principal, was the first draw guest.
Wei Feiguang, as the only president of the top five universities in the federation, except Xie Lanmeng, to appear, was the second guest of the draw.
The president of the Nanhai Region Spiritual Masters Association was the third guest.
The representative of the sectarian forces participating in the freshman exchange competition for the first time, Elder Xiaofeng of Xiaoyao Pavilion, served as the fourth guest.
Apart from the lottery guests, only the major media were present at the scene.
Luo Tang and others gathered in the multi-functional hall on the 25th floor to watch the live broadcast.
After the brief interview, the time came to half past eight.
The draw officially begins.
Under the gaze of the entire federal audience, Xie Lanmeng put his hand into the transparent jar in front of him.
Placed inside the jar are the balls containing the names of the top six schools that ranked last year in the freshman exchange competition.
"Group C..."
There are six teams in total, so drawing lots won’t take much time.
Xie Lanmeng finished it quickly.
Luo Tang looked at the lottery results.
As the host, Nanhai is automatically ranked in Group A.
Yanshan was drawn into Group B.
The third one to be drawn out is Oceanwide.
The first two rounds of draws ended soon.
Each group has two teams.
Everyone has heard of the school names shown above.
Everyone knows its strength.
Don't pay too much attention to it.
The focus is on the next two rounds of draws.
The eight teams determined by the qualifying round are among them, as well as the teams ranked 13th to 16th in the previous session.
About five minutes later.
The draw is over.
Look at the draw results above.
Everyone fell into silence.
"The six sects are completely separated?"
Bai Yuxuan frowned.
Of the eight places in the finals, six were taken by sectarian forces.
What's even more coincidental is that these six sects happen to be in a group!
Moreover, the strong and the weak are just separated!
The one assigned to Group A is Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Group B Jiange.
Group C Blood Knife Gate.
Group D Fuyin Pavilion.
Group E Feihong Cave.
Group F Qingshan Sect.
According to what Luo Tang and the others knew.
Qingshan Sect and Feihong Cave are the weakest.
"Is there something wrong with this lottery draw?"
Dong Haochu asked directly with a frown.
Their military headquarters is in Group F, which happens to be against the weakest Qingshan Sect.
Group E of Imperial Capital faced off against the second weakest Feihong Cave.
Completely missed!
What surprised everyone even more was Group C.
Fanhai and Xuedaomen are divided into a group!
"There is a problem! There is definitely a problem!"
Bai Yuxuan agreed, and then looked at Luo Tang.
"The Blood Knife Sect has been to our school before, and when Chen Yan left, I saw that he seemed very dissatisfied, and now he has been slapped!"
Hearing this, Dong Haochu was stunned for a moment and asked about the situation.
Their military headquarters are far away in the mountains and they have no idea what happened before.
Bai Yuxuan explained the matter briefly.
Dong Haochu suddenly realized it and looked directly at the stage.
But I found that Lin Junchu and others also had shocked expressions on their faces!
"Teacher, you really don't know?"
Wang Jingxuan asked tentatively.
Lin Junchu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"To be honest, we really don't know why this happened."
The result of the lottery was coincidental and they themselves couldn't explain it clearly.
Bai Xiuling sighed and spoke.
"Whether it's a strong team or a weak team, if we want to win the final victory, we must touch them all."
"Now that the results have come out, everyone should go back and prepare well."
After Bai Xiuling, Lin Junchu and others said hello, they immediately went back with Yang Yunlong and others.
The same goes for other schools.
Lin Junchu also sighed when he saw this.
"Let's go, let's go back. When the principal comes back later, we can discuss it again."
Regarding the lottery results, Lin Junchu also wanted to know why it was such a coincidence!
Half an hour.
Wei Feiguang is in the room.
"That's it? I arranged this, what happened?"
Wei Feiguang admitted nonchalantly that he arranged the draw!
"Aren't the guys from the Blood Knife Sect very good principals? Just defeat them in the group stage!"
"You come to me, or do you say you don't have confidence?"
Hearing this, Lin Junchu smiled bitterly.
"Principal, of course you know that's not what we meant."
"You should have seen the results of these days. The strength of the Blood Knife Sect should be second only to Xiaoyao Pavilion and Jiange Pavilion."
"I'm worried that meeting them early will expose too many of Luo Tang's cards."
Wei Feiguang waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It's okay. I believe you. If you are exposed, you will be exposed."
"Besides, if you have to reveal your trump card against the Blood Blade Sect, then I don't think it's necessary to fight against the Xiaoyao Pavilion Jiange."
"These two sects are not even remotely powerful compared to the Blood Knife Sect."
Hear this.
Luo Tang couldn't help but think.
"Looking at the principal, he seems to know some of the trump cards of Xiaoyao Pavilion and Jiange Pavilion?"
"Then why didn't you say it?"
Luo Tang was confused and asked directly for the exit.
"Principal, do you know something?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Wei Feiguang.
Wei Feiguang had a sly smile on his face.
"What can I know, but there is something I need to remind you."
"In this year's exchange competition, the higher the ranking, the better."
"Not just for yourselves, but also for the school."
After Wei Feiguang finished speaking, he drove Luo Tang and others away with the excuse of taking a rest.
outside the door.
Everyone looked at Wei Feiguang's closed door and was in a daze.
After a while, Lin Junchu spoke again.
"Forget it, the principal must have his reasons for this arrangement."
"You have to know that the principal and his generation don't have a good impression of those sectarian forces."
"Placing the Blood Knife Sect with us is probably to target the Blood Knife Sect."
Wei Feiguang knew the strength of Luo Tang and others.
Since he dares to arrange for the Blood Knife Sect to come over, it proves that he trusts Luo Tang and the others!
Luo Tang couldn't help but nodded and looked at Bai Taotao and the others.
"That's right. The principal trusts us and will arrange for the Blood Knife Sect to come over."
"After we go back today, we will rest early and stay in good condition for tomorrow's game."
