When Du Weilun, the dean of students, came to the high platform, he saw Mr. Xuan bowing respectfully before opening the document in his hand and starting to call the names.
After the names are called, the next step is to draw lots.
It is just an assessment for freshmen, without too many complicated ceremonies. Representatives of each team will draw lots and match their opponents according to the lots. All 64 groups of students participating in the knockout round are divided into 32 groups and compete one by one.
Yesterday, the students had a day of rest, and the assessment area had been improved. It was just a matter of modifying the location of the partitions. It was re-divided into sixteen areas. This time, the area of each area was increased several times to participate in the elimination round.
The students will also have a broader space for performance.
The rules during the knockout rounds are very simple, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The eliminated team goes back to class, while the winning team stays to continue the competition. It takes a total of three days to determine the top three.
"Beibei, look, it's Tianhuang." Tang Ya, who was outside the assessment area, noticed that Xu Zihuang, who had come on stage to hand over the lottery results to the teacher in charge, patted Beibei on the shoulder with excitement.
"I saw."
Beibei smiled and nodded, but Du Weilun's words immediately made the two of them feel stunned.
"In the first area, Wang Dong's team from freshman class 1 versus Yu Tianhuang's team from freshman class 9."
Wang Dong is Huo Yuhao's roommate and teammate, so they know it.
The two people's eyes met for a moment, and they both saw the worry in the other's eyes. Now that Huo Yuhao had finally built up some confidence, he was probably going to encounter another setback.
"Yuhao has really encountered a lot of ups and downs since he entered school. I hope he can get through it." Beibei sighed sadly. But in fact, he also knew that Huo Yuhao, who had such poor talent, was in the Shrek Academy where there are many geniuses.
, we are bound to encounter such a situation. It is inevitable.
Xu Zihuang, who returned to Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er, and Huo Yuhao, who was standing with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao on the other side, also showed a bit of surprise.
Wang Dong seemed to have thought of something and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.
"Yu Hao, on the first day of the freshman assessment, they are the ones who won the assessment before us, right? Don't worry, we will beat him this time. You will cooperate with me well later. Let's go."
"Yeah." Huo Yuhao responded silently. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Dong's words.
He knew that Yu Tianhuang might be very strong, but Wang Dong was not bad at all. These days, he had a very good understanding of Wang Dong's strength.
The second soul ring is the thousand-year level. As long as you don't encounter a soul master at the soul master level, you should not pose much of a threat to it.
However, Xiao Xiao's eyes were shining with thought.
If he remembered correctly, this Yu Tianhuang team was the team that Zhou Yi said had achieved a complete victory in the round robin.
"What kind of luck is this?" Xiao Xiao complained in his heart with a bitter expression, and followed the two of them towards the first area.
On the viewing platform, Zhou Yi's face became extremely ugly when he heard the result of the draw.
Xiao Xiao and others don't know, but she knows it very well. Among all the new teams led by Soul Lord, this Yu Tianhuang team is the most mysterious.
After ten rounds of round-robin matches, team leader Yu Tianhuang has not even released his martial spirit.
But what made her feel the most uncomfortable was that Yu Tianhuang's team happened to belong to the ninth class of freshmen led by Mu Jin.
"Zhou Yi, what a coincidence. The seed team you selected happened to meet the seeds of our class. Do you want me to let my students put some slack on it? So that you can lose better?"
Mu Jin came to Zhou Yi with a smile on her face.
Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly froze, "Are you here to provoke me?"
The smile on Mu Jin's face also disappeared, and she said coldly: "So what? Isn't the admission rate of your class one very high? I want to see how many students you teach can enter the top eight. Ha,
How about increasing the so-called admission rate by expelling students with poor talent? Now the true colors are revealed, right?"
Zhou Yi frowned and turned his gaze to the competition venue below, focusing on the first area where Wang Dong and the others were, and said calmly: "Want to make a bet?"
Mu Jin's purpose was to anger and humiliate Zhou Yi. Hearing this, he immediately agreed without hesitation: "Bet? What are you betting on?"
Zhou Yi turned to face her and said in a deep voice: "A piece of soul bone, do you dare?"
Hearing the word soul bone, Hibiscus Tong Kong suddenly shrank.
A hint of disdain emerged from the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth, "If you're afraid, stay away from me. Don't let me smell your disgusting perfume."
She looked confident, but in fact she was unsure. The reason why she said this was to scare off Hibiscus.
But Hibiscus didn't know what she was thinking of, her chest heaved violently, and her eyes flashed sharply.
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you. Are you trying to scare me away with false threats? The bet of a soul bone is too small. Let's add another condition."
"Whoever loses will not only have to pay a soul bone, but also resign from Shrek Academy. Do you dare?! I am fighting for myself, and also for my biological brother who was expelled by you for no reason.
We are also fighting for the countless freshmen who have been expelled by you for no reason over the years and have affected their future development!"
She felt ashamed that she and Zhou Yi were both teachers at Shrek Academy.
"Teacher Mu, Teacher Zhou, forget it." Some teachers nearby came to the two people who were fighting and quickly smoothed things over.
"Yes, Teacher Mu, Teacher Zhou, it's really not the case."
But Mu Jin took a step forward and continued to repeat: "Zhou Yi, do you dare?"
Looking at the imposing Hibiscus, Zhou Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Hibiscus's words seemed to have been echoing in his heart.
But she was always stubborn and never felt that she was at fault, so she responded with a cold face.
"If you don't dare, I'll make a bet with you!"
Besides, Wang Dong and the others may not lose.
"Okay! I'll be the notary." A deep voice sounded, and the person who came turned out to be Du Weilun, the dean of the outer courtyard.
Mu Jin's words just now made him feel moved, reminding him of his innocent heart when he first became the dean of students.
As the academic director of the Martial Arts Department’s outer college, he must put the interests of the college first. But is Zhou Yi’s behavior really in line with the interests of the college?
not necessarily.
It is true that she has brought out many outstanding students over the years, but those students themselves are very good, so what does it have to do with Zhou Yi? On the contrary, there are many talents who were expelled by him and buried.
Mr. Xuan happily took a bite of the chicken leg without saying anything to stop him. Then he looked at the venue in the first area. His eyes were filled with red light and he raised his eyebrows unconsciously.
"Huh? Interesting, interesting."
Xu Zihuang, who was in the center of the first area, felt as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead.
Fortunately, he recovered his mental power in time.
"Such a powerful spirit, he should be a strong man from Poseidon Pavilion." Xu Zihuang understood clearly in his heart, and slowly passed by Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er under the puzzled eyes.
Not many people would like a teacher like Zhou Yi, and he was no exception.
But he not only wants to help Mujin win the bet perfectly, he is also preparing to show his strength and talent in this game.
At this time, the invigilator had already arrived at the edge of the field. When he saw both sides standing still, he shouted loudly: "Both sides are ready—the competition begins!"
On the opposite side, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong maintained their previous formation, with Wang Dong at the front, Xiao Xiao in the middle, and Huo Yuhao at the end.
Seeing Xu Zihuang walking slowly towards them alone, the three of them frowned immediately.
By doing this, didn't he completely disrupt the formation?
Despite their doubts, the three people's movements were not slow.
The leader, Wang Dong, tapped his toes to the ground and rushed out with a single stride. As he rushed forward, his gorgeous blue-gold wings suddenly spread out.
He didn't need to remind him that the only yellow soul ring around Huo Yuhao was already shining, and his eyes shining with dull golden light stared at Xu Zihuang opposite.
Although he didn't know what Yu Tianhuang and the others were planning, it was definitely a wise choice to cooperate with Wang Dong to suppress the strongest Yu Tianhuang first.
But at this moment, a violent soul force instantly swept across the entire place. The entire place was silent.
purple!
purple!
purple!
Three circles of purple soul rings exuding a luxurious aura rose up from Xu Zihuang's feet one after another. With each soul ring appearing, it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands were grasping everyone's hearts.
Especially the purple and black soul ring ranked third, the cold aura and soul power are intertwined, making people's whole body feel cold.
"Three purple soul rings?! Soul Lord?! How is that possible?!"
I don't know who screamed in surprise, and the scene was in an uproar.
And the situation on the field is also changing rapidly.
Huo Yuhao, who had been using soul skills on Xu Zihuang before, was bleeding from his mouth and nose in the next second and fell to the ground helplessly.
Lost consciousness directly.
Xiao Xiao's situation was not much better than Huo Yuhao's. Under the suppression of Xu Zihuang's soul power, his legs became weak and he didn't even release his martial soul immediately.
Wang Dong's figure was also affected and stagnated in the air.
Before he could recover, he was forced to stop thinking completely.
Dark red ripples covered the entire venue, and the space around Wang Dong quietly condensed, turning into a sharp-edged dark red crystal that fell heavily to the ground.
