Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 340 The Round Robin Begins

Pingfanmeng, Qingxia Hotel.

"No. 92, advanced." With the referee's flat voice, it was announced that a contestant had passed the first round of the competition.

Huo Qiu'er snorted softly, took the golden soul coins and rare metals as rewards neatly, and left here.

The topic of the first round of the main competition was to make any kind of four-level soul guide, which was not a problem for Huo Qiu'er now, but it also exposed some of her problems.

Her soul engineer level is only level four, but she is extremely proficient and fluent in making and engraving, and can easily pass the assessment.

But if there is a senior soul teacher with sharp eyes nearby, he can see that although Huo Qiuer's movements are fluent, he has fallen into a theoretical bottleneck, and it is difficult to make further progress without guidance.

In the VIP room, the glamorous leader of the Ordinary Alliance, Shangguan Weier, watched Huo Qiuer's leaving back with great interest.

Although Huo Qiu'er's identity has not been investigated yet, she has never failed to see Huo Qiu'er's strength from her eyes.

A subordinate next to him stepped forward respectfully: "Leader, the origin of No. 92 is still unclear."

Shangguan Wei'er was smiling, but her tone was chilling. "You've been with me for so long, can't you even do this little thing well?"

A few drops of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of that subordinate, and he hurriedly said: "Leader, it's because her intuition is too keen, our people dare not get too close."

"Hmph, I don't even have that bit of vision." Shangguan Wei'er snorted coldly, "Such tyrannical strength, after a little analysis, we can know what kind of power it comes from."

The subordinate replied: "Leader, you mean...she is from the Royal Soul Engineering Academy?"

Shangguan Wei'er speculated: "Looking at her strong soul power and exuberant vitality, I am afraid that she is not majoring in soul tools, but the soul master route. At such an age, she has reached the cultivation level of a soul emperor. If I guess right, With such talent as a soul master, this No. 92 should be from the Three Kingdoms of the mainland."

The subordinates were surprised: "There are still such soul mentor geniuses in the Three Kingdoms of the mainland?"

Shangguan Wei'er shook her head: "Compared to her soul master talent, her soul engineer talent is not so surprising. It should only be around level four, and at most it will not exceed level five."

The subordinate said: "Leader, the fourth-level soul engineer may be a bit low, and I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of the Xishui League if he wants to participate in the finals."

Shangguan Wei'er insisted: "No, I think she is fully qualified to replace Pingfanmeng in the finals."

"In the soul mentor competitions held by us underground forces, fighting against soul mentor competitions is the mainstream. I'm looking forward to what kind of strength she can show."

"In the next match against the soul guide, send someone to test her strength."

"Yes."

……

The round-robin match finally started. The 32 teams were divided into four groups, and the eight teams in each group had to compete with each other.

Huo Yuhao had just finished drawing lots, and quickly disappeared, returning to the team of the Holy Spirit Cult. If there was no competition, he would try his best to avoid exposing his body.

"Master Shengzi." Seeing Huo Yuhao, everyone in the Holy Spirit team hurriedly saluted, only Zhang Peng and Ma Xiaotao, the team leaders, remained calm.

Huo Yuhao asked in a nonchalant tone, "Have the results of the draw for the Xunbai competition come out?"

"Yes, Master Shengzi." Ji Li blinked his gloomy eyes and smiled, "After the royal family's operation, our group did not have too strong opponents."

He handed over a piece of paper with the participating teams written on it.

Huo Yuhao took over the grouping situation and glanced at it.

Those powerful forces were intentionally staggered and scattered among the four groups. Huo Yuhao focused on those teams that had connections with him.

Among them, the Snow Demon Sect and the Star Luo team were divided into a group, the Shrek Academy and the Tangmen team were divided into a group, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and the Holy Spirit team were divided into a group.

The teams of the three major factions in the mainland were staggered, and there were several powerful sect teams in the same group as the main body sect Shrek, which was obviously intentional.

"It's really a good draw." Huo Yuhao said with a fake smile.

"Master Shengzi, besides the Sun and Moon team, there is no opponent worth worrying about in our group." Ji Li smiled flatteringly.

Huo Yuhao asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with Team Sun and Moon?"

Zhang Peng said indifferently: "Shengzi don't have to worry. When we fight against them, we will deliberately lose. In this group, only us and the Sun and Moon team will advance to the quarterfinals."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao said indifferently, "I hope that the round-robin competition won't bother me to go out myself."

Ji Li and the others hurriedly said, "Master Shengzi, please rest assured."

Huo Yuhao seemed to have remembered something, and reminded: "The leader has ordered you to keep a low profile during the competition, understand?"

He squinted his eyes, and the cold light swept over Ji Li and the others.

Everyone in the holy spirit team nodded hurriedly.

"If you kill people in the competition and make the prince unhappy, then there will be some trouble."

Huo Yuhao smiled casually, but there was a hint of danger behind the smile.

"Follow the order of the leader." Everyone in the Holy Spirit team replied hurriedly.

However, amidst the crowd, there was an indifferent voice of opposition.

"If you kill, you will kill. It's not like no one has died in the previous competition. Others can kill our people as long as they have the ability." Naturally, it was Ma Xiaotao, the saint of the fire phoenix, who spoke in a tone of no emotion, as if the Holy Spirit Everyone in the team is no different from insects in her eyes.

But everyone in the holy spirit team dared not speak out, and the status of the saint was even higher than that of the elders.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Ma Xiaotao indifferently.

Although she has been brainwashed, she still exudes a very familiar feeling.

Huo Yuhao did not continue to refute, but chuckled lightly, and echoed: "Yes, what the Holy Maiden said is correct. As long as others have the ability, of course they can kill our people."

"As long as others have the ability..."

Ma Xiaotao gave him a cold look with his eyes under the bamboo hat, and then stopped talking, a strange atmosphere quietly formed.

No one in the Holy Spirit team dared to speak out.

They don't know why there is a very delicate relationship between the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter, but this is not something they dare to inquire about.

Huo Yuhao looked at the group paper in his hand again, and turned his attention to the fourth group, which was the group he was assigned to.

The strength of this group is far inferior to the other three groups. The academies or sects of the other seven teams are only first-class in terms of reputation and strength in the mainland, far inferior to the Shrek body sect.

"It's exactly what I want." Huo Yuhao was delighted in his heart. This grouping saved him a lot of trouble.

Among the seven opponents of Longhumen, there will not be a top player like Long Aotian, which will allow him to ensure that he will not expose too much ability while ensuring that he can penetrate seven.

But one team's name caught his attention.

Tianmeng's voice rang in my ears: "Yuhao, it seems that your first match will start tomorrow afternoon."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao murmured to himself as he looked at his opponent in the first match of the round robin.

"Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy..."

This is another well-known soul engineer academy in the Sun Moon Empire, with a long history and impressive strength.

It's a pity that he has always been overwhelmed by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, which is also located in Mingdu, resulting in the evaluation of outsiders as the second child in a thousand years.

However, this year their team has produced several quite capable players.

"This team is strong? Is it worth your attention?" Noticing that Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, the Ice Empress asked.

Huo Yuhao said: "It's not very strong, but there is a person in Mingdu Academy who needs to pay attention."

"People? Who?" Bingdi paused, then asked, "Male or female?"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He didn't know why Bingdi was so curious about the question of gender, but he still answered truthfully: "Her name is Xu Tianzhen, female."

There was a clear silence in the sea of ​​spirits for a few seconds, and then Tianmeng's weak voice came out: "Yuhao, you have changed..."

"..."

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then responded in a low voice: "She is Xu Tianran's biological younger sister, the only princess in the direct line of the imperial family, named Princess Tianzhen."

Bingdi continued to ask: "So you care so much about the princess?"

"Of course." Huo Yuhao bluntly expressed his worries, "I have a bad feeling in my heart."

"What hunch?"

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then said: "My original plan was to help Brother Caitou get revenge, and then support him in his position."

"But now I vaguely feel that his desire for revenge is too strong, and it may be far out of my control."

"I have to prepare a second plan for myself."

Xue Di said leisurely: "So your second plan is to abandon your senior brother and rely on this innocent princess to take the throne?"

They couldn't believe that Huo Yuhao would make such a choice.

Huo Yuhao gave an evil laugh: "Xue Emperor, you think of me as vulgar. If I really wanted to rely on the princess to get the throne, I would have done so a long time ago."

"The son-in-law, the son-in-law, is just an attachment after all, and can't touch the center of imperial power. With my ambition, I have a more straightforward choice."

The Bingdi asked suspiciously: "Then you are still so interested in this innocent princess?"

"Because her martial soul is the inherited martial soul of the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, the sun." Huo Yuhao thought.

"This may be one of the few opportunities for me to directly contact the Sun Wuhun."

……

In the round robin, there will be four games in one group in one and a half days, with a total of seven rounds and a total of [-] days.

In the afternoon of the second day, it was Huo Yuhao's turn to play the four matches in the group.

Since the round-robin competition is not as tense as the knockout competition, the loser will not be eliminated directly, which has slightly eased the intensity of the competition between the teams.

However, the strength of these 32 teams is at the top level in the mainland, and there are various tactical combinations at the same time, and the level of excitement is still far beyond the knockout round.

The third match of the first group was the match between Snow Demon Sect and Star Luo Royal Academy.

This game was very strange. Both sides seemed to want to preserve their strength. The players in the individual knockout rounds were all point-and-shoot, and they didn't try their best. The two sides went back and forth.

In the team battle stage, the two sides contributed a wonderful game, which attracted applause from the audience.

In the end, Snow Demon Sect defeated Team Star Luo with a slight advantage.

However, Xu Tianran on the rostrum showed some dissatisfaction. He clearly saw that the reason why this team battle was exciting was because it was deliberately performed.

He turned his head to his side and asked, "Master Hongchen, the match between the Snow Demon Sect team and the Star Luo team seems a little boring, what do you think?"

Jing Hongchen thought for a while, and speculated: "Your Highness, the fighting spirit of these two teams is not high, and they seem to be deliberately preserving their strength."

"According to the veteran's guess, it is because the round robin is too long. Each team has to play a total of seven games. In order to avoid exposure and injury, they will hide their strength in the first few games."

Although Xu Tianran didn't say anything, he was obviously not very happy.

Zhongli Wu said with a gloomy smile: "Your Highness, according to my observation, this Snow Demon Sect should be the sect hidden by the Noumenon Sect. They are closely connected with the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, and they may have cooperated with Xingluo already."

Hearing the word Noumenon Zong, Jing Hongchen frowned.Back then, the Ontology sect attacked Mingde Hall as if it happened yesterday.

"What a Noumenon Sect, it really came to compete." Xu Tianran couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Master Hongchen, I hope that in this competition, the Sun and Moon team can break through many obstacles and keep the glory in Mingdu."

Jing Hongchen respectfully said: "The old minister will definitely not disgrace his life."

Only then did Xu Tianran nod in satisfaction, and looked at Zhongliwu again: "Master, how is the matter going?"

What he was referring to was naturally the arrest of the Zongmen team that had been eliminated in the preliminaries.

This kind of insidious thing cannot be sent to the official royal family to do it, so it is naturally handed over to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongli Wu chuckled and said, "Of course we will try our best to complete what His Highness has told you."

"All the sect teams have been imprisoned, and they have been given drugs to disperse the soul power. They are under strict supervision. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Xu Tianran nodded lightly. He was still very relieved about the strength of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"There is Lao Guoshi. After the competition is over, I will hand over these captives to the military. At that time, I will make the holy religion the state religion."

Zhongli Wu laughed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Tianran didn't know that Zhongliwu not only failed to catch anyone, but was so bold that he lied to him.

Zhongli Wu's calculations were well planned, he didn't want to touch Xu Tianran's bad luck at this juncture, but he didn't dare to continue to offend that mysterious Beidi Douluo, what should he do?
It's easy to do, just cheat.

Now Xu Tianran is busy with the competition, so it is impossible to go to inspect the prisoners in person.

When he wants to check it himself, it's fine to say that everyone has been rescued by Beidi Douluo.

It's like the official who took care of the granary in ancient times. He burned down the granary with a big fire until someone else opened the granary for inspection, so no one knew whether the granary was profitable or losing money on weekdays.

On the afternoon of the first day, it was the turn of the second group of the round robin. This group was the group where Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect team belonged. However, the two sides were lucky that they would not meet each other in the first few games.

Tang Ya encouraged everyone, "Don't be merciful just because you are all classmates, let's cheer together."

"For the glory of Tang Sect! For the glory of Shrek!"

Beibei smiled gently and made tactical arrangements: "We can also relax a little bit in the round robin competition, so we don't have to be so nervous. Sanshi, you will be the first one later."

Xu Sanshi said confidently, "Leave it to me."

Beibei looked at He Caitou, noticing that he was a little absent-minded, and asked with concern: "Caitou, are you okay?"

He Caitou, who had a blank face at first, came back to his senses, and smiled innocently: "It's okay, senior brother, it's okay to let me go first."

"No, let Sanshi exercise his muscles and bones today." Beibei smiled.

However, he didn't know that He Caitou's mind was no longer on the soul master competition.
