Dai Yueheng wondered: "Mr. Wang, we qualified as the first in the group in the round-robin competition. Judging from the strength of the Douling Royal Academy, we should also be the first in the group. How did we draw lots to draw them? They are not in the group.
Will the first place in the sixteen-to-eight draw only draw the second place from other groups?"
Wang Yan said: "Based on strength, Dou Ling Royal Academy should be the first in the group, but in fact it is not the case. A dark horse appeared in their group, and they maintained a complete victory before encountering them. But Dou Ling Royal Academy did not
I don’t know why I gave up the last game against that dark horse academy and qualified as second place. I didn’t expect to bump into us."
Ma Xiaotao said: "Is there any problem in this? Dou Ling Royal Academy is also an old academy. They don't know the importance of being first in the group. What is the reason that makes them give up being first in the group? Is it just for the sake of it?
Recharge your batteries?"
Wang Yandao: "I have also thought about this problem. The only difference between the first and second place in the group is the 16th to 8th round. After this round, it is meaningless. Dou Ling Royal Academy should be relying on something by doing this.
, and it must be hidden very deeply. I only saw it during the game. Fortunately, we also hid you and Yao Heng who have not yet appeared. With you guys in charge, there won't be any big problems. Okay, let me tell you first.
Tell us about the rules of the knockout stage."
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has gone through tens of thousands of years of development, and the rules of the competition have been constantly changing, especially the final elimination round. In order to make the competition more exciting, and to better demonstrate the overall strength of the participating colleges,
The competition method will be different from the previous ones. The knockout round will no longer be determined by drawing lots like the round-robin competition. Each knockout round will be divided into two days, with team battles and individual knockout rounds. Failure in the team battle does not mean that you will be eliminated.
, in the individual elimination round on the second day, if you can defeat all seven of the opponent's team with less than three players, then you can turn defeat into victory. And the team that wins the team battle only needs to defeat three of the opponent's team with the power of seven people.
Just make sure you qualify."
"This competition system not only reflects the importance of the overall strength of the team, but also gives opportunities to teams with strong individual strength. For example, we have Soul Emperor-level powerhouses like Xiao Tao and Yao Heng in our team. If we fight in a team
They lost, but they shined in the individual competition. With the strength of two people, they eliminated all seven of the opponent. Then, we can still win this knockout round. Therefore, the knockout round is not only a test for the whole, but also
It is also a great opportunity to show one's personal strength. Colleges with real strength will focus on cultivating the best students, just to turn the tide in the individual competition in the knockout stage."
The knockout stage turned out to be this kind of competition, which really surprised everyone. Huo Yuhao asked: "Teacher Wang, what if you are injured or too exhausted during the team battle and cannot participate in the individual competition?"
Wang Yandao: "Then it depends on the strength of the bench. Every college that comes to compete has a reserve team, just like you are the reserve team. Once the main players have the situation you mentioned, the reserve team must
Gotta push it up."
"Beibei, Xu Sanshi, you two have recovered. If you need to use those abilities in the knockout round, is that okay?"
Wang Yan was naturally referring to Beibei's Golden Holy Dragon Spirit and Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise.
Beibei nodded and said: "I should be able to do it. My martial soul improvement is not as big as three stones, but the advantage is that I can control it myself. After using it once, just like my junior brother and their martial soul fusion skills, rest for three
Tian can use it again. But it only has the power of one blow. Only when my cultivation level reaches the seventh level can I stabilize this ability."
Xu Sanshi said with a bitter face: "I can't say for sure, because I can't control it. Only under particularly strong stimulation can my martial spirit undergo that kind of mutation. But I, like Beibei, can't
If you can reach the Soul Saint level, then nothing will be a problem."
Wang Yan nodded slightly and said: "Then I understand. Now I will arrange the players for tomorrow's game. Entering the knockout round, there is no room for sloppiness. Our opponent tomorrow is one of the last four semi-finals, so we must go all out
Let's go. Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, the seven of you come out to participate in the team battle. With Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao as the main control, the others attack head-on, using the whole body
Defeat the opponent with strength. Caitou, you have to rush to make cigars later and distribute them to everyone so that they can be used in the competition."
"Yes." He Caitou agreed.
Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "I have nothing to do..."
Wang Yan smiled slightly and said: "At the end of the game, no one can guarantee that there will be no casualties. As a rotation lineup, you are equally important. In the previous games, you have done a good job. You, Nan Nan, Caitou
We must also be prepared to join the battle at any time. Next, I will arrange the tactics for tomorrow's team battle. No matter what the Dou Ling Royal Academy prepares, we must give them a showdown first."
The return of the two soul emperors now makes Wang Yan full of confidence in winning. They still need four wins in the knockout rounds to secure the final championship. Although the next games will be difficult, they will never be better.
It was so difficult for the reserve team to face Zhengtian College.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Wang Yan frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell the service staff not to disturb us?"
A pleasant female voice came from outside the door: "Sorry to bother you, I'm not a service staff, I'm from Starlight Auction House."
Starlight Auction House? Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Wang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Beibei, who was closest to the door, had already stood up and gave Wang Yan a questioning look. After seeing Wang Yan's affirmative nod,
Then Beibei walked over and opened the door.
A woman in a long black dress stood outside the door. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, which is the age when women have mature charm but still have a youthful atmosphere.
Huo Yuhao and the others all knew her. It was the auctioneer they attended the auction that day, Qing Ya.
Qingya's eyes fell directly on Wang Yan, she smiled slightly, and said politely to Wang Yan: "Hello, Teacher Wang. I'm sorry for disturbing you all."
When Wang Yan saw it was her, his eyes seemed to soften a bit, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you? Also, how did you find this place?"
Qingya said apologetically: "When you purchased the auction last time, you used Shrek Academy's account to settle the bill, so we naturally guessed your origins. After a brief inquiry, we came to bother you today. That's it, our Starlight Auction
A top-level auction will be held tonight. Auctions of this level are often held only once or twice a year. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited by us. Last time, I didn’t know that all of you were from Shrek, the No. 1 Academy in Mainland China. How many of you?
There is no neglect. The boss of our auction house asked me to send out invitations to you. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. I believe there will be something that you are interested in at today's auction."
As she spoke, she took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table. Then she saluted again with a smile and said, "I won't disturb you all. I'm sorry again." With that, she slowly backed away and left the door.
Finally, close the door again.
Looking at the stack of exquisite gilded invitations, Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "What an amazing Starlight Auction House. There are eleven invitations, a lot of them, and they can send the invitations here despite the Star Luo Empire's official blockade of the hotel."
.What a generous act!"
Dai Yueheng took an invitation, looked at it, and said: "It is indeed a top-level auction. The auctioneer is right, there are only one or two auctions of this level a year. I was not qualified to participate before."
, only my father or a member of the royal family, a big businessman, a top soul master, or a soul master can participate in an auction of this level. There are definitely a lot of good things, but the prices are also very high. This Starlight Auction should be just for the purpose of communicating with our academy.
It's just a good relationship, it doesn't mean anything else. Teacher Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Yan looked around the students for a week, and saw the brilliance of hope in almost everyone's eyes. They were indeed the best soul masters among their peers, but they were also a group of children, and they all had the same curiosity about novel things.
What's more, it's not easy to participate in such a top-notch auction!
"Okay. Everyone has been participating in the competition and should relax. However, read more and talk less, and avoid all troubles as much as possible. Tomorrow's competition is very important and cannot be affected in any way. Return to the hotel immediately after the auction to rest."
"Long live Teacher Wang!" Xiao Xiao was the first to jump up. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and others also looked excited.
The last time they went to the auction, they were already full of curiosity about it. The last time they attended was just a low-level auction, and the item was just a single soul tool. This time it was different, the top-level auction,
What other items will appear? They really haven't thought about what they will get through the auction. The most important thing is to see it.
Wang Yan smiled and scolded: "You little guys, please take your mind back! I have to arrange the tactics for tomorrow's game."
It didn’t take too long to arrange the game tactics, and then everyone went back to their rooms to practice. After dinner, they each changed into ordinary clothes and took the invitation from the Starlight Auction House. Under the leadership of Wang Yan, a group of eleven people again
Arrive at the Starlight Auction House.
To their surprise, the elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. She was dressed in a long black dress and looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights, with a gentle look on her pretty face.
Wang Yan and her looked at each other and nodded slightly: "Hello, Qingya Auctioneer. We meet again."
Qingya said with a happy face: "Welcome all distinguished guests."
Wang Yandao: "How do you know we will definitely come today?"
Qingya shook her head and said: "I don't know, but my task is to receive all the distinguished guests. Regardless of whether you come or not, I will wait here until the auction officially starts. Everyone, please come with Qingya."
As she said that, she smiled sweetly at Wang Yan again, and then walked in front of him.
Xu Sanshi, who was standing behind, chuckled in Beibei's ear: "If this female auctioneer smiles at our Teacher Wang a few more times, I'm afraid Teacher Wang's soul will be taken away. She really has a very mature charm."
ah!"
Beibei glanced at him and said, "Second goods." As she said that, she followed the people in front of her into the Starlight Auction House.
The situation in the auction room was the same as that day, and there was no publicity for today's top auction. Under the leadership of Qingya, they kept walking inward this time and soon passed the venue where they participated in the last auction.
Walking all the way to the end, two girls in golden dresses came up to them. After bowing slightly to everyone, they briefly chatted with Qingya. Then one girl turned to the wall, raised her right hand and pressed it on the wall.
.
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared. Water-like light patterns appeared on the wall, and then, layers of light gradually stabilized.
The girl pressed her palm on it, and a horizontal light pattern swept from top to bottom, and then with a buzzing sound, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage.
Different from the splendor outside, this passage is pure white. It is not cold white, but a special feeling full of soft texture.
Whether it is the floor, ceiling or walls, they are all paved with a translucent white jade. There are faint dark patterns under the jade. Although it is not clear what the pattern of the dark patterns is, it is obviously different compared with the pattern of the passage outside.
sublimation.
Soft white light shines from above, below, left and right at the same time, and there are lines formed by light blue halos on both sides of the roof.
Qingya explained softly: "This is the No. 1 auction hall where we hold top-level auctions. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited to enter here to participate in the bidding. I have also benefited from the honor of all the distinguished guests today, otherwise with my level, it is
You have no right to enter here."
Wang Yan said calmly: "Looking at Qingya auctioneer's clothes, it seems that he has been upgraded!"
Qingya smiled slightly and said: "I also want to thank you all. It was precisely because I auctioned the Soul-eating Graving Knife last time that I accumulated enough performance to be promoted to a black-level auctioneer. Please come in."
, she slowly led the way. Inside, two more girls in golden dresses, only 18 or 19 years old, came up to them.
Not far away, small doors began to appear on both sides. Qingya finally led them into door No. 7. (To be continued)
