The sixteen-to-eight competition that started immediately after the auction still failed to put the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy under pressure. With the configuration of one soul emperor and eight soul kings, except for a few teams, they could face all other opponents with their eyes closed. beat.
As for Shrek Academy... the lineup of two soul kings went against the lineup of three soul kings from Ling Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy, which already had two disabled, and the result was no suspense at all.
As the three-day top 16 qualifying tournament came to an end, all five seeded teams advanced successfully. Shrek finally put together a lineup after Ma Xiaotao returned from injury.
The more upset ones were Mingdu Soul Master Academy and Zhengtian Academy. They also defeated the first place in the opponent group and advanced to the quarterfinals.
That night, the members of the Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy collectively visited the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy to express their gratitude - the Star Luo Empire can arrange the civil war in the Sun and Moon Empire, so of course it can also have policies and countermeasures.
After the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy defeated its opponent, it privately "lent" many of its remaining and unused soul tools to the Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy - just return the remaining ones after the game. Anyway, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy brought with it a huge reserve of soul guidance tools, which was enough to meet the consumption of one or two games.
This does not violate the rules of the competition. It is not prohibited to buy invincible shields on Taobao at auctions. Why is it forbidden for participating teams to award each other soul guides?
The Mingdu Soul Tutor Academy, which was already running low on soul guidance tools, once again staged a show of soul guidance tools that could be described as light pollution, causing the opponent who had hoped to easily pick it up while both sides of the Sun-Moon Empire to suffer a loss, to leave with regrets.
The Sun and Moon Empire had two teams enter the quarterfinals this time, which corresponds to the fact that the Douling Empire only had a single seedling left in the Douling Royal Academy.
When the final battle between sixteen and eight came to an end, the Chief Affairs Minister walked onto the stage and announced the eight-to-four competition groupings to the long-awaited participating teams and spectators under the sunset.
“After being witnessed by His Majesty and the competition organizing committee, based on the principle of fairness, justice and openness, and through a fully transparent process of drawing lots, the arrangements for the eight and four groups of this competition are now announced as follows:”
"Xingluo Royal Academy versus Zhengtian Academy!"
"Douling Royal Academy versus Mingdu Soul Master Academy!"
After the results of the first two groups were announced by the Chief Affairs Minister, the audience exploded, and the entire Xingluo Square was boiling.
There are only three grouping results for the remaining four teams, and when the third grouping result is determined, it means that the final eight-to-four schedule has been settled.
But at this time, the two favorites to win the championship have not yet announced the group results, which means that it is very likely...
"quiet!"
The pressure of the Titled Douluo level spread throughout the entire venue, causing the boiling arena to fall into immersion again.
It is the chief referee of this competition, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu, who uses Tiansha Lone Star as his martial spirit.
Yu Yu squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The fourteen team members held their breath in unison. No matter how many big scenes they had witnessed before, at this moment they were all dominated by emotions called tension and anticipation.
"Di'ao Academy versus Star Emblem Academy!"
The arena that had just been suppressed by the pressure of the Titled Douluo once again fell into unparalleled noise, and this time no one wanted to stop this turbulent public sentiment.
Even Xu Jiawei, who personally directed the grouping results, excitedly cast his gaze towards the rest area under the setting sun. The dark red sunlight reflected on the bodies of the team members, highlighting the different wonderful expressions on their faces.
This is especially true for the two teams whose group results have not yet been announced.
Obviously, the results of the last group do not even need to be announced personally by the Chief Minister.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy versus Shrek Academy!"
This is a grouping result that has never occurred in the history of the past thousand years, and it is also a situation that everyone has tacitly avoided.
As the setting sun shone on his face, Yu Yu showed an unprecedented pleasant smile. He supported his head with one hand, turned his head slightly and smiled at the students:
"This is a good thing. We can face Shrek in full condition without having to go through other strong teams. I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to be the first teacher to lead the team to eliminate Shrek."
"The honor of eliminating Shrek and winning the championship has been awaited by the Sun and Moon Empire for thousands of years, from the emperor to the common people. Once you climb the last three mountains ahead, you will be the heroes that attract the attention of the whole country."
"Chen Xi, this honor also belongs to you. You have done well in all the tasks assigned to you, and that is enough."
The ancestor studied at Shrek Academy. The girl named Chen Xi nodded vigorously with her face flushed. The red sunset made it difficult to judge how much of her rosy face came from excitement and how much came from the red clouds in the sky.
Ma Rulong took a long breath and nodded solemnly: "The opportunity to defeat Shrek and win the championship is right in front of me. This is the only opportunity in my life. I will give everything I have to face the showdown with Shrek."
Xiao Hongchen rarely quarreled with Ma Rulong: "Shrek's Soul Emperor has finally appeared. He seems to be stronger than Brother Ma, but our lineup is also the undisputed number one among all the teams in the Empire that have participated in the competition. , this is already our highest winning rate ever.”
Yu Yu smiled and said in a low voice: "It is up to you to end the grievances and grievances of the past thousand years. It can only be said that time is destiny, and there is no need to hold back when reciprocating courtesy."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and looked in the direction of Shrek Academy.
"The expression on Shrek's side is not very good... I will also participate in the seven-man team battle. Teacher Yu, there is a grudge that needs to be settled with my own hands."
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, how come you are missing from the team fight?"
……………………
Compared to the very ugly faces of the team members, Wang Yan let out a long sigh of relief.
The responsibilities on his shoulders had been too heavy these days, and now it was finally time to face the final judgment.
The battle in the round robin made the team members exhausted. The three soul sects in the team were particularly under great pressure. He Caitou, who was in a wheelchair, was the focus of other teams' care. His injuries have even worsened after the fight.
Even if the team members were replaced in rotation to reduce personal pressure, Wang Yan knew that Shrek really couldn't go on.
Except for Zhengtian College and Xinghui College, which are two that make up the numbers, Shrek doesn't have much confidence in facing any opponent who can advance from eight to four.
So be it, whatever, at least the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is an opponent whose strength is recognized by the entire continent.
Even if they lost to them, Shrek wouldn't be too embarrassed. At least they were eliminated by the strongest team.
For the eternal glory of Shrek, I, Wang Yan, the children, and Teacher Fan Yu and Mo Xuan in the dark have endured unparalleled pressure and persisted until now, with a clear conscience.
We do not accept anyone’s accusations. This extremely incomplete team fell on the road to compete for the semi-finals and fell at the hands of the most powerful opponent in the entire competition. What right do they have to criticize the children?
"Shrek! Shrek!"
Voices of cheering for Shrek gradually began to ring out in Xingluo Square, slowly forming a wave that was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The remaining seven teams in the top eight seemed to be eclipsed by this general trend of popular support.
But what's the use?
Wang Yan smiled bitterly, while Yu Yu smiled easily.
If the volume of support alone can determine the outcome of the competition, then the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition should be renamed the All-Continent Support Voice Competition.
In the face of the absolute gap in strength, such fanatical support can only make Shrek's final defeat seem more poignant and tragic.
The more intense the resistance, the more satisfied one will feel after successfully succeeding, and that feeling of conquest is not something outsiders can appreciate.
Yu Yu said: "Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow will be the day when you step on Shrek to be crowned and ascend the throne. It's best to finish the team battle so that Shrek can't gather the candidates for the individual battle."
As he said that, Yu Yu's eyes rested on sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo:
"As long as we win the team battle, we won't have to compete anymore. I don't believe that Shrek will use these two second rings to compete with our fifth rings. Even Yu Hao, who is the weakest personally, has the ability to defeat the two of them alone. ."
Huo Yuhao shrugged. Teacher Yu's words felt strange.
It sounded like he was praising me, but also vaguely like he was cueing me.
