"Excuse me, General Roxon." Tang Qingxi returned the greeting with a smile.
Roxon was a little flattered: "I don't dare, I'll take my leave now."
Being able to become the captain of the third division of the Royal Knights, he is naturally also a soul master. However, he is only at level 44, which is not even as high as Tang Qingxi's soul power level. Facing Tang Qingxi, who is still young but has superior strength, he naturally admires him.
The five barracks were quite spacious for them to live in. Tang Qingxi quickly made arrangements.
Tang San and Gu Xiong lived in one room, Dai Mubai and Oscar lived in one room, then Zhu Zhuqing, Li Wenrui, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong shared two rooms respectively.
Tang Qingxi occupied one room alone.
After that, they each rested to ensure that they were in peak condition and prepared for tomorrow's promotion match.
The promotion round does not have multiple arenas where competitions can be held at the same time like the qualifiers. Instead, there is only one competition venue, which is the Royal Knights' Grand Campus.
The fifteen teams participating in the promotion round will compete in fourteen rounds of round-robin competition, with one team having a bye every day and seven games, all of which will be held at the university grounds.
The university grounds have been renovated, and an area with a diameter of 100 meters has been drawn in the center as the competition venue. Compared with the qualifier arena, the space here is wider, and it is naturally easier to display one's strength.
On the north side of the university grounds, facing south, a temporary VIP seat was set up, which was also the referee's seat. This time there were not as many VIPs coming to watch the game as there were last time.
There are many fewer nobles. Looking at the VIP seats, except for the familiar people such as Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, and Platinum Bishop Salas in the first row, the seats in the back are mainly filled with people dressed as military commanders. and some high-ranking figures in the Wuhun Temple of Tiandou City.
After all, team battles are generally quite chaotic, and many things are difficult to see clearly, but this is different in promotion matches. Every student will show their personal strength in front of everyone. This is also the best time to evaluate the strength of a soul master.
Outside the main campus, a total of 10,000 royal knights surrounded the entire main campus. The soldiers of the Royal Knights in the front row were standing, while those in the back row were sitting on the backs of their mounts.
Such a tight defense can be said to be watertight. Of course, another purpose of Emperor Xue Ye is to let his most elite warriors see the strength of the new generation of young soul masters to inspire their fighting spirit.
Between the large circle formed by the knights and the competition venue, fifteen participating teams have already arrived, even the teams that had a bye today. Even if they don't have to compete, they still have to clearly see the strength of their opponents.
The rules of the game are very simple. Each team sends seven players to participate. Each player must fight until he is defeated. The winner will face the next opponent until all seven players on one side are defeated.
The draw was completed last night, and Tang Qingxi and the others did not get a bye in the first round. Their opponent was a high-level soul master academy from the Balak Kingdom. Played in the fifth of seven games today.
The teams that passed the qualifiers from different divisions were all together, so Tang Qingxi naturally saw familiar opponents from Four Elements Academy.
Many people in the Four Elements Academy are also looking at Tang Qingxi. They are also very curious about what kind of lineup Tang Qingxi will play in this promotion match.
Tang Qingxi glanced at his eight team members: "I will fight in the promotion round, you all can hide."
She just wants to hide her team's thousand-year-old soul skills until the finals.
She has absolute confidence in her own strength, not to mention that although the academies from other divisions are considered elite, they are not better than the four elemental academies.
Naturally, Tang San and the others would not have any objections to Tang Qingxi's decision, not to mention Tang Qingxi's terrifying combat power, it would definitely be no problem to complete one through seven.
"Then let's take a rest." Oscar said with a smile.
"You must be resting. It's not our turn to play in the promotion round." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him.
The promotion matches are all one-on-one, not looking at team coordination but only looking at individual strength. No matter what, it is impossible to let the two auxiliary soul masters play, even if they have some fighting ability now.
Tang Qingxi glanced at the participating teams and met Feng Xiaotian's eyes, but after just one glance at each other, Tang Qingxi looked away.
Emperor Xue Ye stood up from the VIP seat at this time and spoke through the soul guide: "The promotion competition officially begins today. In the next fourteen days, I hope that the soul masters of each academy team will give full play to their abilities." His strength shows his due style.”
As soon as he finished speaking, shouts like landslides and tsunamis rang out in unison, "Long live, long live, long live!"
The knights of the Royal Knights raised their lances high, and the clanging of their armor mixed with their loud shouts, which immediately startled the participating spirit masters, demonstrating the elegance of a great nation.
The first game then began, and the first player to appear was Blazing Academy, and their opponent was a team called Fabia Academy.
The first person to appear on behalf of Blazing Academy was captain Huo Wushuang. Obviously, Blazing Academy should have planned to let Huo Wushuang defeat as many opponents as possible and win this first game with a big score.
In the final ranking of the promotion round, in addition to the big points obtained by winning the team, the small points obtained by individuals in the winning game are also extremely important. In the event of a tie in terms of college winning or losing points, the teams will be ranked according to individual winning points.
The competition went very quickly. Huo Wushuang's strength was ranked among the many soul masters participating. The gap between his opponent's strength and his was still not small. With such a disparity, victory or defeat is often decided in an instant.
Whoever has a higher soul power level and stronger soul skills will be more likely to defeat the opponent. Unless you have a soul bone, but there are very few people who have soul bones.
Moreover, in a one-on-one match, martial soul fusion skills are impossible to exist, and everything must rely on one's own hard power.
In the first major match, Huo Wushuang defeated three opponents in a row. He was defeated only after his soul power was greatly consumed.
There is basically no rest time in the continuous battles in the promotion round. This is also the interesting part of the promotion round. It not only tests the individual's strength, but also the order of personnel arrangement and tactical arrangement are also very important.
Facing the various elite soul stones that have qualified for the finals, there are not many soul masters who can defeat many opponents on their own.
The second player to represent Blazing Academy is Huo Wu. She looks a bit calmer than in the preliminaries, and her moves are even more powerful.
Every battle brought great pressure to the opponent, and relying on the advantage of the control soul master, Huo Wu defeated four people in a row, and Huo Wushuang directly defeated the Fabia team.
