Chapter 204: The Elimination Round Begins, the Firepower Is Overwhelming, and the Round-Robin Competition Begins (Please Subscribe)
Popularity is useless, strength is the real truth.
As Shrek Academy left the stage, the crazy and hot atmosphere gradually dissipated.
"Get ready, it's your turn to play next, don't lose face for our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team."
Ma Rulong looked at the official representative team beside him and said in a deep voice.
Chen An, Chen Fei, Lin Xi, and Li Yan nodded at the same time.
"You are the same, I hope to see a wonderful opening."
Su Yu glanced and said lightly.
"Yes! ×3"
Yang Xu, Guan Bo, and Zhou Qin responded at the same time.
At this time, the host also began to announce.
"The next game is about to start."
"The next team to participate in the game is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team from the Sun Moon Empire and the Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"Please enter the venue as soon as possible, both teams."
As the host's voice fell, the venue was in turmoil again.
If the Shrek Academy team is the most popular team.
Then the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team is the second most famous team.
This is not to say how many people support the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team.
It refers to their fame.
After all, this is the Xingluo Empire, and there are absolutely very few people who support the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team.
But what they all know is that the strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team is absolutely terrifying.
In the past thousand years, if the champion is Shrek Academy, then the runner-up is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team.
Their strength is recognized as the second strongest.
Even if they do not support the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, after this team appeared, it still attracted the attention of countless audiences.
Even the Xingluo Emperor and the White Tiger Duke who were watching the game in the imperial city.
And other college teams waiting to participate in the competition area, all became serious.
Wang Yan of the Shrek team widened his eyes, fearing that he would miss some important information.
Don't look at how confident Wang Yan usually behaves in front of the Shrek Academy team.
But he still knows how powerful the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team is.
Wang Yan may have some problems. But he is definitely not a fool.
"Go!"
Hearing the host's voice, Ma Rulong spoke lightly.
On the other side, Su Yu also pointed outside.
The four members of the official team and the three members of the reserve team walked out of the team at the same time.
A group of seven people went towards the competition stage.
Soon, the seven members of the Sun Moon Empire team entered the venue.
The Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team moved slowly towards the competition stage.
They were all like bereaved parents when they were drawn to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team. This luck was too bad.
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team has entered the venue. Please hurry up, Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team."
The host began to urge, and the Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team had to speed up.
Soon, the Tianchang High-level Soul Master Academy team also entered the venue smoothly.
On the gate tower of the imperial city, Emperor Xingluo looked at the competition stage below and chuckled, "It seems that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team did not send out the real main force in this first game."
As the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, he naturally looked at the list of each major academy.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team only sent four official players this time.
"After all, it's just a knockout match, maybe they don't want to reveal too much."
"After all, these guys' goal is the final championship."
White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, who was standing next to Emperor Xingluo, said lightly.
"My dear brother, what you said makes sense. This time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team came prepared. Perhaps this final championship may really be taken away by them."
Emperor Xingluo smiled.
"Your Majesty, don't you think highly of Shrek Academy?" Dai Hao asked in surprise.
"It's not that I don't think it's good, it's just a feeling, maybe I'm overthinking it."
"Watch the game."
The Xingluo Emperor chuckled and looked at the competition stage. At this moment, the game was about to start.
The referee was already in place on the competition stage.
He looked at the two teams and said seriously, "The game is about to start. In this elimination match, most soul guides are allowed, but no fixed soul guides are allowed."
"At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of both teams, once one side admits defeat, it is not allowed to continue attacking."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Both teams nodded at the same time.
"Okay."
The referee nodded and said, "Now please keep your distance from each other. Do not attack your opponent before I announce the start of the game."
Under the arrangement of the referee, Lin Xi and the other seven people retreated to one side of the competition stage.
The Tianchang High-level Soul Master Academy team retreated to the other side.
Seeing both sides in position, the referee's voice suddenly rang out.
"The game begins!"
At the moment the voice fell, the seven members of the Tianchang High-level Soul Master Academy team released their martial spirits at the same time.
In an instant, yellow and purple lights lit up at the same time, and the soul rings were gorgeous and dazzling, making people dazzled.
The Tianchang High-level Soul Master Academy team has seven members, four of whom are Soul Masters and three are Soul Lords.
If such a lineup was ten thousand years ago, it would definitely be called a strong team.
But in this Dou II period, such a lineup is almost the same as a small fish.
Any team with a little strength is full of Soul Masters.
Even the stronger ones have Soul Kings.
The Tianchang High-level Soul Master Academy team is indeed a bit shabby.
At the same time as the Tianchang High-level Soul Master Academy team released their martial spirits, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team also took action.
Metal tubes emerged from the bodies of the seven people, wrapping them up and almost turning them into a turret.
Then, fierce artillery fire sprayed out from the many metal tubes.
Countless white lights surged, almost drowning the Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team.
"Ah!!!"
Amidst the wailing, the seven members of the Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team were swept out of the ring one by one.
The whole process took less than ten seconds, and the Tianchang Advanced Soul Master Academy team was eliminated.
Directly contributed to the fastest victory record in the elimination round.
The audience off the court were all stunned, no one thought that the game would end so quickly.
No one thought that the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team would sweep the entire field with powerful firepower as soon as they appeared on the stage.
In the viewing area, Wang Yan frowned and his eyes were solemn.
"The explosive power of this soul mentor can't be underestimated. We need to pay special attention to it."
This battle made Wang Yan fully realize the explosive power of soul mentors.
Such a terrifying explosive power is definitely a huge threat to the Shrek Academy team.
Especially for the fifth-level soul mentors, if they are allowed to explode recklessly, even the soul king of Shrek Academy will find it extremely difficult to deal with it.
Thinking about the players who have not yet appeared in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy team, Wang Yan's heart suddenly became heavy.
"Sure enough, our biggest opponent is still the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy team."
Wang Yan muttered to himself, recording the key points he observed this time.
He found that if he wanted to defeat the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy team, he had to find a way to restrain the terrifying explosive power of the soul mentor.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy team.
Of course, Wang Yan was not the only one who was surprised. The viewing area was almost silent.
Because the game ended too quickly, so quickly that it exceeded the reaction of these spectators.
On the competition stage, the referee woke up from a dream, and there was still a little surprise in his eyes.
Even he didn't expect that the game would end in the blink of an eye.
But the referee had a strong psychological quality after all, and he quickly announced: "The game is over, and the winner of this game is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team."
Applause broke out from the audience, but it was much sparser than the applause of the Shrek Academy team before.
But Lin Xi and others didn't care at all, after all, this was the home court of the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms.
It was normal not to welcome them.
They only cared about the goal, and it was obvious that the goal this time had been perfectly achieved.
Lin Xi and others began to leave the stage, and the next game was coming soon.
The seven people returned to the competition area, and Ma Rulong and Su Yu were waiting for them to come back calmly.
"The performance was good, and the prestige of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team was shown."
Ma Rulong praised that the highlight of this game from the beginning to the end of the battle was a straightforwardness.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team's deterrence purpose has been achieved.
"It's really good. It didn't disappoint me. Go back and rest."
Su Yu gestured to let Yang Xu and others go to rest.
Ma Rulong glanced at Su Yu, and the two exchanged glances.
After watching a few more games, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team directly withdrew.
The first round of eliminations will last for three days.
In the end, half of the participating teams will be eliminated.
For the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, there is no need to waste time on these eliminations.
There are only a few academies worth collecting intelligence.
Meeting room.
The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team are all gathered here.
Ma Lao sat in the first seat, and the sofas on both sides were occupied by the official team and the reserve team.
Su Yu leaned on the leather sofa and crossed his legs.
Beside him, Meng Hongchen was lowering her head and peeling oranges for him.
Meng Hongchen carefully tore off every strand of white silk, her little face full of seriousness, as if she was doing something extremely important.
Old Ma took a sip of tea and said, "We have passed the knockout rounds. Next, we will enter the second part, the round-robin tournament."
"The round-robin tournament will be divided into groups. Judging from the number of participating teams, there will most likely be eight groups, with about eight to nine teams in each group."
"The round-robin tournament mainly depends on the number of wins, and you get two points for each win."
"One point for a draw, and no points for a loss."
"Actually, there is nothing to say about this, as long as you win every game."
"I will set a small goal for you, to qualify as the first in the group, is that okay?"
Old Ma looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"No problem." Ma Rulong nodded.
Su Yuze didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Hongchen directly.
The elder brother-in-law consciously acted as a mouthpiece, "Of course, no problem, it's a small matter."
Xiao Hongchen patted his chest, looking confident.
No matter what time it is, the elder brother-in-law always seems to be so confident.
"The opponents encountered in the round-robin tournament should not be too strong."
"In fact, there is a hidden rule in the competition, that is, too strong teams will not meet in advance."
"At least, before entering the quarterfinals, we will not encounter those seeded teams."
"Otherwise, the strong confrontation will lead to one of them being eliminated, and the weak ones will be mixed in, and the organizer of the competition will also be criticized."
Old Ma glanced at Xiao Hongchen and continued.
"Old Ma, what do you mean?"
Ma Rulong looked at Old Ma and asked respectfully.
Ma Lao smiled and said, "I want to give the reserve team a chance to show their faces in this round-robin tournament, which can be regarded as training them."
"I don't know what you think?"
"I think it's good. The reserve team should broaden their horizons and accumulate experience. What's the point of just watching?"
"It's time to play."
Xiao Hongchen answered.
But neither Ma Lao nor Ma Rulong looked at him, but cast their eyes on Su Yu.
"Su Yu, you are the captain of the reserve team, what do you think?"
Ma Lao asked.
Su Yu raised his eyelids slightly and said in a light voice, "Okay, but in every game, there must be at least four soul kings to suppress the field, just in case."
"Soul king suppress the field?"
"Then can I also play?"
Xiao Hongchen said excitedly.
What's the point of watching others fight every day?
It's more interesting to fight by yourself.
"You?" Ma Lao frowned.
But Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, but you can't use your martial soul ability. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Hongchen, who does not use the martial soul of the three tribes of golden toads, is just an ordinary fifth-level soul mentor.
It doesn't matter if he goes on the field.
However, the ability of the three-legged golden toad to control metal is a bit special. It is better not to expose it too early.
Hearing what Su Yu said, Ma Lao's frown relaxed again.
As long as he does not use his martial soul ability, it doesn't matter if Xiao Hongchen goes on the field.
"Tsk, okay."
Xiao Hongchen was a little reluctant, but he still agreed.
Otherwise, if Su Yu is annoyed and he is not allowed to go on the field directly, it will be a disaster.
Grandpa said that Su Yu has the final say in everything in the reserve team.
In addition, Su Yu's own strength has conquered everyone.
He has such a big say in this team that even Ma Lao sometimes has to give him face.
If Su Yu didn't agree to let him play, he would have to sit on the bench.
"What about me? Can I play, too?"
Wang Dong poked Su Yu's shoulder. He also wanted to play.
"Yes, but it depends on the specific arrangements before each game. Each of you will have a chance to play."
Su Yu glanced at Wang Dong and said softly.
