Two days after the auction ended, that is, the day after Dai Huabin left Xingluo City,
This year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has begun.
The round robin has ended, and now it is the knockout round of the top 16 - the top 16 will advance to the top 8, two games a day, divided into four days, the loser will be directly eliminated!
Although Shrek Academy made a big fool of themselves in the first game, the subsequent round-robin games were still very exciting with several soul kings brought by Xuan Lao to compete.
The audience also knew the reason why Shrek collapsed in the first game - the main players were injured and the reserve players were inexplicably assassinated off the field.
Although the person who plotted the plot has not been found so far, and there is no direct evidence to prove this - this is Shrek Academy's statement.
But most people still believed it.
The public's voice for Shrek Academy's victory became louder again. This made Wang Yan, who was anxious at first, relax—
The reputation of the college was finally restored with great danger.
Those little guys, especially Huo Yuhao, no longer need to blame themselves too much for their mistakes in the first game——
Although Huo Yuhao cooperated with Ling Luochen in the last round-robin match to show the prestige of the academy, Wang Yan still felt that there was a knot, or shadow, in the child's heart.
The night before the knockout round of the top 16, Huo Yuhao had a nightmare that he would never forget -
He dreamed that everything around him was a terrifying blood-red color, and there was endless rain of blood in the sky. He kept falling down and couldn't get up no matter how hard he climbed.
Then the dream suddenly changed, and a scorpion as bright as a diamond attacked him. The scorpion's pincers stabbed directly at him, but his body was restrained by the pressure and could not move at all.
When the scorpion claws pierced his eyes, Huo Yuhao suddenly woke up!
At this moment, his whole body was covered in cold sweat!
And he was surrounded by people, including Wang Yan, Mr. Xuan, Wang Dong, Beibei, and Jiang Nannan. They all looked at Huo Yuhao with worried eyes.
Huo Yuhao kept shouting desperately in his sleep just now. Even Mr. Xuan was helpless. He almost thought it was some kind of soul power backlash, mental power going berserk, etc. He almost scared people to death. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao finally woke up and came over.
After learning that Huo Yuhao was having a nightmare, everyone gave it a false alarm, but they were still very worried.
Wang Yan proposed to take Huo Yuhao to the academy immediately, but Huo Yuhao refused. He thought it was just a nightmare——
He wanted to watch the academy competition here and watch with his own eyes Shrek's glory once again bloom in this competition!
Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with determination, making Mr. Xuan feel a little more satisfied with Huo Yuhao -
It is a good idea to engrave the glory of the college in your heart.
Although Wang Yan was worried, he still agreed.
Wang Yan and Mr. Xuan unanimously requested that Huo Yuhao undergo a full-body examination after returning to the academy to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Huo Yuhao later proposed to participate in the competition, but was unanimously rejected——
His condition is very bad now, so he should take good care of himself——
Otherwise, I am really afraid that something will go wrong during the competition.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng also recovered from their injuries.
With these two soul emperors holding the battle, this competition can be said to be foolproof!
The students of Shrek Academy have always been elites, and they can win challenges at higher levels, not to mention they have the advantage of cultivation!
They are full of confidence in today's victory.
Even so, Wang Yan still reminded them earnestly before the game to be cautious and not to underestimate their opponents——
This time Shrek Academy’s opponent is Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, the first academy of Dou Ling Empire!
The opponent has five soul kings. Although they are not as good as Shrek, they should not be underestimated.
Moreover, when the opponent qualified, he inexplicably gave up the first place in the group, which made Wang Yan feel a little gloomy!
The unknown will bring uneasiness and fear, but this uneasiness and fear are always consciously ignored——
That is, although you are aware of it, you put it aside and think that it cannot be a big deal.
…
"Sixteens advance to eight. The first match is between Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy and Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Players from both sides enter the waiting area to prepare for the game."
On the competition stage, the referee's voice caused the audience to cheer louder and louder, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited to a climax——
So much so that the troops responsible for maintaining order are going all out to be vigilant and prevent various emergencies.
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire arrived at the Imperial City early, and he was bound to be present whenever there was a Shrek Academy game——
This is also a signal, with some political implications.
The Shrek team participating this time includes Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Jiang Nannan and two soul kings who support the academy.
Wang Yan looked at his team members - they were high-spirited and eager to fight, but there was a bit of arrogance between their brows.
Wang Yan didn't know why, but he always felt irritable, as if something was going to happen today.
Shrek has two soul emperors, three soul kings, and two soul sects. Their strength is definitely higher than that of the opposite Douluo team——
Maybe I'm too worried.
Wang Yan finally encouraged the children again, and at the same time repeatedly emphasized that they must not underestimate the opponent, and they must adapt to changes while following tactics!
"We must win." Seven people shouted at the same time - they were full of vitality and confidence, as well as a sense of responsibility to protect Shrek Academy's eternal glory!
"Players from both sides are on the field." The referee's voice sounded.
Ma Xiaotao stood up first and walked in front with her head held high.
Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Jiang Nannan and the other two soul kings followed behind.
Seven people filed onto the stage.
After taking the stage, both sides could see the determination in each other's eyes.
On the other side, the members of Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy also walked towards the stage.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng stood at the front at the same time.
As for their opponent, Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, standing in front was a young man who looked about the same age as Dai Yueheng.
This young man has a large frame, but is very thin, and his cheeks are even a little shriveled, but his eyes are bright and bright.
He took a few steps forward, walked to the referee's side, and said to Shrek Academy: "It's an honor to play against Shrek Academy. Please give me your advice."
The one who stepped forward was not Ma Xiaotao, but Dai Yueheng.
Dai Yaoheng strode forward. He smiled calmly and said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Lone Bamboo Sword, right."
Lone Bamboo Sword was slightly stunned and said: "Do you know my name? I seem to have met you in the last competition."
"My name is Dai Yueheng." Dai Yueheng said calmly. He didn't believe that the other party didn't remember him - as the last reserve team captain of Shrek Academy, he was also the center of attention!
Gu Zhujian squeezed out a smile on his withered face and said, "I hope I can learn something from Shrek Academy through the competition."
Dai Yueheng said calmly: "You will definitely get what you want."
Dai Yaoheng's plain words contain strong self-confidence!
Gu Zhujian's eyes flashed coldly, but he just smiled and did not refute——
You will find out later.
"Both sides retreat and prepare for the game." The referee shouted.
The seven-member team of Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy is composed of five soul kings and two soul sects——
Team captain Lone Bamboo Sword, martial soul: Purple Bamboo, soul power: fifty-seventh level soul king.
Vice-captain Qian Yuan, martial soul: Terrorclaw Bear, soul power: fifty-third level soul king.
Xiao Feng, a control soul master, martial soul: Pearl of Mystery, a spiritual martial soul, soul power: level 54 soul king
Chi Hengyu, martial soul: diamond shield, soul power: fifty-level soul king.
Han Ling'er, agility-based soul master, soul power: fifty-level soul king.
Tang Niuniu, auxiliary soul master, martial soul: raccoon, soul power: soul sect
Qing Feng, control soul master, earth attribute martial soul, soul power: Soul Sect
Each of them has its own characteristics, and their overall strength is higher than any team Shrek has encountered before!
As the two sides retreated, they began to change their formations.
On Shrek Academy's side, those standing at the front were naturally Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng. Behind them, slightly to either side were Beibei and Jiang Nannan, with the four of them forming an arc, and in the center was the master soul master Ling Luochen.
Behind Ling Luochen were two soul kings.
This is not to say that the two soul kings are not as good as Beibei and Jiang Nannan in combat, but to give Beibei and the new generation of the academy a chance to practice——
Beibei and Jiang Nannan's combat effectiveness is significantly stronger than soul masters of the same level!
On the other side, the Dou Ling team also formed a formation as they retreated.
However, a scene that surprised Shrek Academy appeared.
Lone Bamboo Sword, who was the captain and a powerful attack spirit master, did not appear at the front of their team, but stood in the center.
The ones in front are the Dreadclaw Bear War Spirit King Qian Yuan and the Vajra Giant Shield War Spirit King Chi Hengyu.
The agility and attack type battle spirit Wang Han Ling'er was hiding behind the two of them, very close to each other.
At the same time, the two control system soul masters in the team were actually standing on the two wings.
They protected the Lone Bamboo Sword in the core position at the back, as well as Tang Niuniu, the auxiliary weapon soul master at the back.
This formation can only be described as weird.
The attack-type battle soul masters actually stood where the control-type soul masters should be. What are they going to do?
Faced with this situation, everyone in Shrek Academy mostly responded to the ever-changing situation with a calm attitude, just watching their opponents quietly.
Seeing that both sides were in place, the referee gestured to the captains of both sides and shouted, "The game begins!"
Then he moved out of the competition venue instantly!
The soul masters from both sides released their martial souls immediately.
Ling Luochen didn't use his big moves like in the previous game, but just summoned his own ice staff.
Thick phoenix flames instantly rose up from Ma Xiaotao's body. Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings emerged fiercely. Together with the high-temperature flames, she fully demonstrated her strength.
Dai Yueheng also released the aura of the Soul Emperor. With a low roar, the White Tiger Martial Spirit possessed him. His whole body swelled up, and his tyrannical aura did not lag behind at all!
The two soul emperors who were selected members of Shrek Academy finally appeared on the battlefield for the first time in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition!
Shrek Academy's tyrannical strength made all the audience marvel and cheer loudly!
Looking at Dou Ling's side, they knew that the cheers did not belong to them!
However, as long as everything goes according to plan, Shrek's glory will fall today!
They will become the first academy team to knock Shrek Academy off its throne in the past century!
Everything is unfolding in an orderly manner, and the members of Douluo Team know exactly what they are doing!
Chi Hengyu, the defense spirit master of Dou Ling Team, released his huge diamond shield spirit in an instant!
The huge shield is rectangular in shape at the top and triangular at the bottom.
The total height of the shield is more than two meters, and its width is also one and a half meters, enough to be called a giant shield!
Even a strong figure like Chi Hengyu had to tilt upward to get the shield off the ground.
After releasing the diamond shield, Chi Hengyu's first action was to insert the shield into the ground, and then, the fifth soul ring on his body flashed directly!
Intense white light bloomed in the brilliance of his purple fifth soul ring.
The originally huge diamond shield expanded instantly, split into two, then two became four, and four became eight.
Almost instantly, it turned into a large shield wall, blocking everything in front of it.
Each diamond shield is dazzling with white light, giving people a sense of indestructibility!
This is Chi Hengyu's fifth soul skill, Diamond Barrier - an extremely powerful defensive soul skill!
He was not the only one who activated his soul skills at the same time.
The control soul sect named Qing Feng and the auxiliary soul sect Tang Niuniu also took action at the same time.
Tang Niuniu has a petite figure. When she shakes her body, her ears become furry and cute. She even becomes a little fatter and her face is chubby.
As soon as she clasped her hands in front of her, her third soul ring lit up, and a ray of blue light shone directly on Qing Feng!
Her martial spirit is raccoon, which is a purely auxiliary martial spirit.
The soul skills she performs at this time can amplify all the soul power she outputs to the next soul skill used by her partner, enhancing the power of her partner's soul skills by a certain proportion!
What lit up Qing Feng's body was his fourth soul ring, and a layer of earthy-yellow light spread from his feet.
Immediately afterwards, the entire competition stage began to shake violently.
With a loud rumbling sound, a huge earth wall rose from the ground!
Not only that, in front of Chi Hengyu's Vajra barrier, earth thorns sprouted up one after another, and they were unanimously exposed to the outside world!
Coupled with the thick earth wall and the shield wall array defense assisted by sharp earth thorns, it is simply a copper wall and an iron wall!
Even a powerful attack soul emperor would find it very difficult!
In the previous games, Dou Ling Team had never used such tactics - this was the first time they appeared on the field!
With that fortress-like defensive front, even the referee on the field couldn't help but nod slightly.
The Dou Ling team set up such a formation as soon as they came up, and almost everyone could guess the general direction!
They must have some extremely powerful special attack ability that requires time to prepare——
Then use that powerful attack to complete the battle!
Obviously, this tactic is aimed at Shrek Academy!
Although Shrek's side is very powerful and Dou Ling Team is not as strong as them, there are variables in this game!
Wang Yan's expression changed slightly in the audience. He had a bad premonition, and it was getting stronger!
…
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were practicing in the room, as were the other team members.
Mr. Xuan was drinking on the roof - this was the treasure wine shop he discovered in Xingluo City. The wine inside was very good!
Suddenly, Mr. Xuan frowned.
He felt a little uncomfortable in his body, his heart beat inexplicably faster, and the wine seemed to have lost its former aroma and became tasteless.
What exactly happened here?
