Chapter 382 Second Round of QualifiersShrek Academy vs. Proud Sword Sect (5.2k)
In the rest area of the Shrek team, Xu Zihuang also ignored Tang Wutong.
No matter what the purpose of a certain selfless God-King was for allowing Tang Wutong to participate in this continent-wide youth soul master competition, he did not want to have too much interaction with Tang Wutong to avoid being plotted against.
Furthermore, it is amazing that Tang Wutong has attached six thousand-year soul rings to his second martial soul, and his soul power cultivation is not as simple as just breaking through the soul emperor. But for him, if Tang Wutong is just
In this case, he still has no qualifications to be regarded as an opponent.
And as his cultivation level got closer and closer to level seventy, he gradually felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
Perhaps after he possesses the ability of the martial spirit avatar, he will be able to fear Tang San's schemes.
All in all, he is currently avoiding Tang Wutong, but it is far from being fearful.
After the crushing victories in the previous two games, the competition continues.
Except for Shrek Academy, the remaining 166 teams will go through the first round of knockout rounds. That is, a total of 83 games.
According to the original plan, the first round of qualifying knockout rounds will be concluded within three days.
However, in the next few duels, there will not be such a big gap in strength between the two sides.
Because it was a knockout round, every participating team tried their best, and it was truly exciting.
There were even some tragic scenes. Fortunately, there were no serious casualties.
As teams qualify one after another, one team after another will naturally be eliminated.
The morning competition lasted until noon, with twelve games played. The Snow Demon Sect team represented by Wei Na and Mu Xue was one of the qualifying teams.
Although they did not completely crush their opponents and obtain all twelve points like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Haotian Sect, they still showed considerable strength.
Xu Zihuang specifically asked Zhang Lexuan about the situation of the Tangmen representative team and learned that Beibei's game was this afternoon.
But he didn't plan to watch the game in the afternoon.
Suite No. 1 on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel.
After enjoying the customized lunch delivered by the maid, Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, Ning Tian, and Zhang Lexuan chatted in the living room adjacent to their respective rooms.
Zhang Lexuan held the tea cup and looked at everyone with a smile.
"how do you feel?"
"This competition introduces sects to participate, and the competition is indeed much more intense than the last one." Ning Tian replied, and then looked at Xu Zihuang next to him.
"Tianhuang, do you think Tang Wutong is Wang Dong back then?"
"Whether she is Wang Dong or not, it has no influence on us." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly.
Seeing the frankness and calmness in Xu Zihuang's eyes, Ning Tian looked slightly startled, and the various emotions surging in his heart were relieved.
But she was a bit over the top. Tang Wutong's stunning appearance and powerful strength made her subconsciously feel the crisis.
Xu Zihuang turned his attention to Zhang Lexuan.
"Sister, please call us over. There should be news from the academy."
Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, the smile on her face faded, and she said seriously: "Tianhuang, you are right. I have called you here to tell you something. I just received news from the college that Mr. Xuan has brought several
Mr. Su has sneaked into Mingdu. And not only our college, but also people from the Noumenon Sect are here. From this, it seems that the disciples of the Noumenon Sect should have also participated in this competition, and there is a high probability that they are lurking in the Snow Demon Sect."
"I made a special inquiry earlier. There are six substitutes in the Snow Demon Sect, but none of them showed up today."
"No matter what the purpose of Noumenon Sect is, it is not a bad thing for us." Xu Zihuang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Currently, the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult are ready to move. In the current situation of the enemy, our interests are the same. I think the people who came to the Noumenon Sect also learned the news about the Holy Spirit Cult from Wei Na. With their style of dealing with things,
Maybe something will be done. But after all, this is the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Empire, and I think that if the Noumenon Sect has an agenda, it will definitely seek cooperation with our academy."
Zhang Lexuan glanced at Xu Zihuang in surprise, and sighed with relief: "In fact, the people from the Noumenon Sect have already completed contact with Mr. Xuan and the others, but the specific details are still being discussed."
"Then we don't have to think about these things for the time being. I believe Mr. Xuan and the others will make the most correct decision." Xu Zihuang smiled slightly, and then expressed his thoughts.
"Sister, I have a premonition of a breakthrough in my practice recently. I will not go to watch the match during the first round of qualifiers. I plan to stay at the Mingyue Hotel to practice."
"Huh?" Zhang Lexuan's eyes lit up. This was an unexpected surprise. Level 70 and level 90 are the two biggest thresholds in a soul master's training. Once they are crossed, it is no exaggeration to say that a soul master will undergo a completely different transformation.
.
Once the soul power breaks through to level 70, even if Yu Tianhuang does not obtain the seventh soul ring, his overall strength will definitely make a huge leap forward.
"That's fine. Anyway, the qualifiers will last for three days. If the opponents in the second round are weaker, Tianhuang, you can stay in the hotel to practice without any worries and let Wang Qiuer lead the team."
Ye Guyi was sitting next to Xu Zihuang, smiling and saying nothing from the beginning to the end. However, when she heard Xu Zihuang proposed to stay in the hotel to practice, the smile in her eyes changed.
Be subtle, the interface said.
"Senior sister, Tianhuang also said before that this is the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire. We must be on guard against others. I will stay in the hotel while he is training, so we can take care of each other."
Neither Zhang Lexuan nor Xu Zihuang had any objections.
Ning Tian hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not make that willful request. Of course she also wanted to stay and guard Yu Tianhuang, but she was also the main force of the Shrek team. It would be a bit inappropriate to do this for a personal relationship.
Too suitable.
A total of eighty-three games were completed in three days, which was relatively tight in terms of time. In order to avoid delaying the schedule, the official noon break prescribed by the Sun and Moon Empire was not long. Not long after, Zhang Lexuan led the Shrek representative team again
Went to watch the game live.
Only Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi were left in the entire suite No. 1.
Xu Zihuang got up and returned to his room, while Ye Guyi followed him silently.
The spacious and luxurious room has excellent lighting, with an area of at least two hundred square meters. It is said to be a single room, but in fact it has a living room, bathroom, open-air balcony, etc. Beautiful reliefs and murals of various colors are dotted around the living room, and under the sunshine
It looks even more magnificent under the light.
Ye Guyi locked the door naturally and leaned in from behind, resting his chin lightly on Xu Zihuang's shoulder. The warm breath and the faint fragrance blended together, lingering in Xu Zihuang's nose.
"?"
Xu Zihuang turned around blankly and met Ye Guyi's eyes.
Ye Guyi immediately began to untie Xu Zihuang's clothes. Seeing the astonished look on Xu Zihuang's face, she was a little dazed, but her golden eyes contained more affection and strange excitement.
"What are you doing? Hurry up! Didn't you just say that just to distract Ning Tian?"
Xu Zihuang said with a wonderful expression on his face: "Sister Lingyi, I said that I really want to stay and practice. Do you believe it?"
Ye Guyi's eyes widened slightly in anger, but without much shame. He tapped Xu Zihuang's lips with a seductive look, which was moist and mixed with rich sweetness.
"You can practice, but you have to satisfy me first..."
Even Ye Guyi herself didn't realize that she fell in love with this feeling unconsciously. The thrill of doing these things behind Ning Tian and Xu Zihuang's back.
The huge contrast between her private and daily image also made Xu Zihuang happy, and it was difficult to say no words at this time.
As the sun sets in the west, the entire Ming Dynasty is rendered into a sea of rose gold by the last rays of the setting sun. The shadows left by the tall buildings overlap with the shadows of the sunset, creating a misty beauty.
The first round of qualifying knockout matches held in the afternoon on the plains in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu is coming to an end. At the same time, another match at the Mingyue Hotel also ended happily.
Ye Guyi walked out of the bathroom after bathing, with a charming blush on her pretty face. Wearing a close-fitting light golden dress, she sat on the sofa in the living room, her long, fair and straight legs slightly raised, tasting
Mellow black tea in a porcelain cup.
Compared to the past, this cup of black tea seems to be a little less bitter and a little more sweet. To be more precise, it should be the lingering aftertaste in the mouth that affects the black tea.
However, she was not disgusted, instead she was a little intoxicated and her eyes were blurred.
Ye Guyi looked around and could see the traces left everywhere. However, Xu Zihuang used the ability of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to eliminate the traces.
After a moment, she looked in the direction of the door with a feeling, and her eyes instantly regained clarity.
"Ka--" With a soft sound, Ning Tian walked in with low footsteps. Seeing Ye Guyi change his clothes, he didn't have any thoughts and asked with concern.
"Sister Guyi, how is Tianhuang?"
Ye Guyi stood up with a smile in her eyes and pulled Ning Tian to sit down next to her. This calm and dignified appearance made it difficult to associate her with the image she showed just now in front of Xu Zihuang.
"Tianhuang has entered a meditative state. Just don't let anyone disturb her for the time being. How is the game going this afternoon?"
Hearing Ye Guyi ask this question, Ning Tian's face instantly became serious.
"Sister Guyi, your feeling is right. That team is indeed composed entirely of evil soul masters. In this afternoon's game, they exposed their abilities as evil soul masters."
At that moment, Ning Tian completely told Ye Guyi about the situation of the Holy Spirit Team. Only one person from the Holy Spirit Team appeared, but the opponent was so shocked that he gave up. Because the person who represented the Holy Spirit Cult only used one move to devour the opponent.
soul and brain.
Ye Guyi couldn't help but narrowed her eyes. She naturally wanted to get rid of these evil soul masters as soon as possible. And Xu Zihuang revealed his plan to her very early. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have a chance to confront them in a short time.
Those evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Sect.
Ning Tian continued: "The Tang Sect also won the first round of preliminaries. The opponent was a soul master sect called Dilong Sect. Sister Guyi, you should be familiar with this sect. This
Earth Dragon Gate comes from Dragon City."
"Yeah." Ye Guyi nodded gently.
"Qiuqiu and Aunt Nan, I haven't seen them for a while. Ning Tian, I'm going out for a while. Tianhuang will leave it to you."
"Okay." Ning Tian responded quickly.
That night, Ye Guyi met with Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu, but it is impossible to know what the three people talked about.
Nothing happened during the first knockout round of the competition, which ended smoothly within three days. Half of the 167 participating teams were eliminated, leaving only 84 teams.
In order to avoid disputes, the Sun and Moon Empire officially stipulates that all eliminated teams must leave.
Many rooms in the Mingyue Hotel have been vacated, and all teams that have passed the first round have also had their accommodation adjusted.
Because the first round took too long, there was no time to rest in the second round. On the night after the first round, the remaining eighty-four teams completed the draw. Naturally, this included the Shrek Academy representative team.
.
In the second round, Shrek Academy could not get a bye, and in order to attract more viewers, the Sun Moon Empire officials deliberately arranged the Shrek Academy representative team's game in the first game.
Shrek Academy's luck was not very good either. In the second round, they drew the Proud Sword Sect, which had shown great strength in the previous round.
The captain of the Proud Sword Sect is a Soul Emperor, and the remaining six selected members also have Soul King level cultivation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In terms of cultivation alone, excluding Xu Zihuang, the Proud Sword Sect is not inferior to the Shrek Academy representative team.
Xu Zihuang, who has not made any breakthroughs in cultivation, also chose to follow the Shrek team to the rest area of the competition venue early this morning. He is preparing to participate in today's competition.
One is to seek a certain degree of pressure to promote a breakthrough, and the other is to show off one's own strength to create a deterrent, making the Shrek team's next game smoother.
In the first round, Shrek Academy advanced to the second round without any competition, and advanced with twelve full points. If he won the second round, then even if Shrek Academy lost in the third round, he would be able to advance smoothly.
The next group stage.
Because in the third round, only 21 of the 42 teams can win. There are a total of 32 places in the group stage, and the remaining 11 places are made up from the losing teams in the third round.
of.
Ranked according to points.
Entering the rest area again, it suddenly felt much emptier. The Tangmen representative team, which won the first round with high points, was introduced to the VIP rest area by the organizing committee. Although it was in a relatively back position, it happened to be with Shrek.
The college teams are on opposite sides of each other.
From the position of everyone in the Tang Sect, looking diagonally, they can clearly see everything in the rest area of the Shrek Academy representative team.
"Please be quiet, everyone. The second round of the qualifiers is about to begin. The winner of the last competition, or the Shrek Academy team that has won the Continental Senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition for many years, will compete in the first game today.
Appearance."
The people of the Sun and Moon Empire don't have a good impression of Shrek Academy. In previous competitions, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has always been suppressed by Shrek Academy, ending up with the title of second best in a thousand years.
Upon hearing the words Shrek Academy, there were many boos in the audience area.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the host did not immediately stop the audience from booing. Instead, after a pause, he announced loudly.
"The second round of the knockout round, the first game. The Shrek Academy team faced off against the Proud Sword Sect. Both sides selected players to enter the waiting area."
Everyone at Shrek Academy looked at Xu Zihuang, the captain of the team.
"I will compete in this game alone."
Xu Zihuang stood up calmly and walked into the waiting area alone.
The overall strength of the Proud Sword Sect is enough to rank among the top eight among all participating teams in this competition, but no one thinks that Xu Zihuang's behavior seems arrogant.
Everyone in the Shrek Academy team was even looking forward to what wonderful expressions the booing Sun Moon Empire people would have when they saw Yu Tianhuang's terrifying soul ring ratio.
Xu Zihuang's sudden behavior attracted the attention of everyone. The seven people representing the Proud Sword Sect walked into the waiting area from the other side. Their faces were a little ugly. However, there was no obvious emotion in the eyes of the captain of the Proud Sword Sect.
, was staring at Yu Tianhuang with burning eyes.
With Tang Wutong's lessons learned, the referee on the field also understood the intention of the Shrek Academy team and just reminded them as a rule.
"Representative of Shrek Academy, you are the only one entering the waiting area, which means that you can only fight in the following games."
Seeing that Xu Zihuang did not respond, the referee said nothing more.
"In the individual knockout round, please invite the first player from both sides to take the field."
Under the spotlight of everyone, Xu Zihuang tapped his toes and landed in the center of the competition stage.
The one who appeared on the other side was the captain of the Proud Sword Sect.
The young captain of the Proud Sword Sect is more than 1.8 meters tall and looks very stable. He has broad shoulders and a broad back, and his arms are particularly slender, especially his hands, which are very generous and have long and thick fingers.
A sharp sword energy emerged from his body almost instantly.
"Both parties share the same name."
"Proud Sword Sect, Wu Yifan."
"Shrek Academy, Yu Tianhuang."
Both sides retreated to the edge of the field.
"Start!" Following the referee's low shout, Wu Yifan suddenly took a step forward. He stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand, put them together, and pointed forward.
A sharp roar suddenly resounded through the sky, and a slender and broad blue sword appeared out of thin air, as if the air was split open, with an extremely sharp aura. The halo circulated, and the sword glow spurted out.
The name of Shrek Academy on the mainland is too loud. As the captain of the Shrek Academy representative team, Yu Tianhuang chose to play alone like Tang Wutong before, which is undoubtedly his absolute confidence in his own strength.
Therefore, the Proud Sword Sect did not dare to be careless in the slightest and allowed captain Wu Yifan to fight directly.
And in the next moment, he understood where Yu Tianhuang's confidence came from.
The deep purple eyes turned into brilliant gold in an instant, and six soul rings rose up from Xu Zihuang's feet at the same time, enough to frighten anyone.
Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red!
Compared to all six of Tang Wutong's black soul rings as deep as ink, the ratio of Xu Zihuang's soul rings is even more shocking.
Especially the weird blood-red sixth soul ring, to the people of the Sun and Moon Empire who booed, it was like a silent mockery.
"Five black and one red?! One hundred thousand year soul ring?!"
The whole place became silent for a moment, but in the next second it was completely excited.
