Douluo: Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao
Chapter 372 1 Everything is under control
As the morning light fell, the warm sunshine shone on Mingdu. When the locals and tourists woke up and enjoyed the morning tranquility, they suddenly saw propaganda carriages running back and forth on the road.
"Wow, the format of the finals has actually changed. A single-elimination system. Isn't that the same as the preliminaries?"
"Same as the preliminaries? Will there be a revival match?"
"Resurrection, what the hell? This time the winner will be decided in one round. I won't give you a second chance."
"Doesn't this mean that the competition will definitely be very entertaining?"
"Mostly."
"So what are you waiting for? Where can I buy the tickets?"
In every district and on the roadsides of every major street in the Mingdu metropolitan area, large crowds of people gathered. Some were discussing while eating breakfast, while others were watching and discussing as the propaganda carriage left.
But no matter how we discuss it, the warm-up for the final round of the competition was definitely successful.
On the outskirts of Mingdu, staff began to dismantle the original competition platforms one after another, and set up as many audience areas as possible. Of course, the soul guide screens were retained. In order to prevent too many spectators from being crowded on the central competition platform and causing stampedes, diversion was necessary.
……
"The results are out. Just like what you heard, the format of the final round is officially set to be a single-elimination system."
In the living room, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao stood side by side, and in front of them were a group of Shrek students.
After hearing the news, no one seemed too surprised, as Cai Tou, Xu Sanshi and the others had already been told about it before.
"With a single-game elimination system, the competitive pressure will definitely increase a lot. It seems that not only the main players need to be strong, but the bench must also not be weak. This is a big challenge for most teams." Ma Xiaotao analyzed, pinching her chin.
"That's right." Zhang Lexuan nodded. "Unlike the previous preliminaries where two types of matches were chosen, all the matches in the finals, whether they are individual matches, two-two-three matches, or team matches, must be played."
"You can understand it as a best-of-three game. The winner advances to the top 32, and the loser is eliminated. After each round, all teams get two days of rest."
"Today at noon, all teams will draw lots at the Mingdu Fighting Spirit Arena, with numbers from one to thirty-two."
"Everyone, pack up, we're ready to go."
After Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, everyone immediately separated to prepare.
After a while, a group of people were ready to go.
When they arrived at the hall, the Shrek group suddenly saw some old acquaintances, including people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, and the Snow Demon Sect.
Meng Hongchen was still obsessed with Wang Donger. Even though Xiao Hongchen tried to stop her, she still came over and said hello.
There were also some forces staying at the Mingyue Hotel. However, compared to the gentle interactions in the preliminaries, the atmosphere between the teams became much more serious due to the change in the competition system in the finals.
No one knows whether the team that was communicating cordially with you in the last second will be drawn to become your opponent in the next second, so silence is the best choice.
Everyone had just received the notice and were preparing to rush over.
Outside the hotel, a number of carriages had already been prepared.
"We have already conveyed the matter. It is estimated that they will not reply until the afternoon." Long Aotian looked at Shrek and transmitted the message through soul power.
Zhang Lexuan nodded, said nothing more, and gestured for everyone to get on the carriage.
As early as last night, they informed the Body Sect that some sects of the Xingluo Empire had not returned on time, hoping to get some information from the Second Prince Xu Tianming.
Of course, just asking is not enough. Elder Xuan and Elder Song have already set out to patrol the area surrounding Mingdu to see if they can find the heavy troops secretly deployed by the Sun and Moon Empire.
The carriage drove away and headed steadily towards the Mingdu Fighting Spirit Arena.
As the largest and most luxurious fighting arena in the Sun-Moon Empire, it is actually not far from the Mingyue Hotel. In less than ten minutes, the coachmen parked the carriages in the designated places one after another.
Unlike the resurrection match, today's fighting arena is exceptionally quiet.
It was just that the Shrek group had just stepped off the carriage and hadn't said anything yet when they suddenly saw a group of people and their eyes fixed on them.
In the shadow of the corridor leading to the fighting arena, a group of people were standing quietly. They were the Holy Spirit Sect.
Looking at the lively Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin clenched his fists tightly, his face looking a little ugly.
He had planned several attacks with good preparations, but all of them failed. This time, two Titled Douluo-level priests were killed and even the deputy leader was injured. The entire sect was shocked. He couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao was so difficult to kill.
"Let's go." The tall and slender young man, who looked like a handsome gentleman, spoke lightly. He was Yan Feng, the captain of the Holy Spirit Sect. As soon as he said this, everyone followed respectfully.
“If I can’t kill you in a surprise attack, then I will kill you openly.” Dai Huabin stared at Huo Yuhao with eyes that revealed a heart-pounding scarlet light. Wisps of black air climbed up his body. In order to become stronger quickly, he paid too much, and the consequences were even irreversible.
Yan Feng walked in front and noticed the change in Dai Huabin's aura. He shook his head silently. He had been worried that this guy would compete with him for the position of future leader, but now he doesn't have to worry about that anymore.
Using vitality to forcibly improve cultivation is only powerful at the current stage, but there will be many disadvantages in the future.
"During the preliminaries, the Holy Spirit Sect didn't have a single pure evil soul master appear. They hid it really well." Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly when she saw the people from the Holy Spirit Sect leave.
"The people of Mingdu are not very happy to see evil soul masters, so the Holy Spirit Church probably considered this aspect and temporarily found a group of people to serve as team members. At least they will not be exposed before they encounter absolutely powerful opponents." Zhang Lexuan said lightly, "Compared to them, the Haotian Sect and the Sea God Family are our biggest enemies."
Speaking of this, everyone at Shrek nodded in agreement, except for Wang Dong'er, who subconsciously clenched her hands.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and gently held Wang Donger's hand. His big hand wrapped around her small hand. The warm feeling made her heart beat slightly. After looking up and meeting those deep blue eyes, the worry in her heart suddenly disappeared.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she nodded at Huo Yuhao.
Yes, my boyfriend, sisters, friends and elders are all here, why should I be afraid of the Haotian Sect?
Nearly twenty teams rushed over and headed towards the fighting arena, with a total number of more than two hundred and fifty people.
By the time everyone entered the fighting arena, a large group of people had already gathered on the huge main fighting arena, with voices of conversation coming one after another. These were the teams that had made it into the top 64.
"Huo Yuhao."
Seeing the arrival of the Shrek team, Nan Qiuqiu, who had already recovered from the Dilongmen team, ran over excitedly.
"Hello." Although Nan Qiuqiu was generally unfamiliar with the Shrek students, her outgoing personality enabled her to quickly establish friendships with everyone.
“Well, it seems that you have recovered well and are full of energy.” Huo Yuhao said, pinching his chin.
“Of course not.” Nan Qiuqiu patted her chest. It seemed that this girl had forgotten that she also had a wealthy family. She trembled and attracted many lecherous eyes.
Soon, Nan Qiuqiu started chatting and laughing with a group of people from Shrek. Oh, and Meng Hongchen, who couldn't contain herself, brought Xiao Hongchen to Shrek to chat in order to avoid opposition from her brother.
The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy stared in amazement at this scene.
On the other side, the two teams blocked by the crowd were quite quiet and somewhat out of place compared to the constant communication around them.
In one of the teams, a total of fourteen people stood still like a mountain. Their clothes were simple and elegant. The captain clasped his hands across his chest and closed his eyes, as if he was resting. A deep aura emanated from him, indicating that his strength was not simple.
It was not until he heard footsteps that the young man opened his eyes, noticed the person coming, and asked with a slightly changed expression, "What's the matter?"
In an instant, everyone in the Haotian Sect turned their attention to the person who had come.
The man was dressed in dark blue tights, had an extraordinary temperament, handsome appearance, and tall stature. The strange thing was that he had scaly things on his temples.
Facing the Haotian Sect, Poseidon's face lost some of his arrogance: "In the next draw, if your sect encounters Shrek Academy, please give up the fight with them, because we want to defeat them ourselves. After the success, my Sea God Family will definitely reward you handsomely."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Haotian Sect frowned immediately. What does it mean to give up fighting with them?
Do you think that our Haotian Sect is afraid of Shrek Academy?
As the captain, Tang Wei frowned, but he also gave face to the Sea God Family and did not directly scold them: "I don't know what hatred or grudges your Sea God Family has with Shrek Academy, but if we meet them first, we will definitely go all out. This is the mission given to us by the family, and no one can shake it. Please understand."
Poseidon's eyes flickered a few times, and in his blue eyes, it seemed as if an illusory dragon shadow was condensing, and a majestic aura began to spread invisibly.
In an instant, everyone in the Haotian Sect except Tang Wei was shocked, and the soul power in their bodies automatically started to operate to protect their bodies.
Tang Wei still had his hands clasped across his chest, a faint black light flashed on his body, and a heavy aura like a mountain surged out, colliding head-on with Poseidon's aura.
In an instant, the surrounding team felt their breathing become heavy, and their soul power even felt like trembling. The originally lively conversation disappeared in an instant.
"what happened?"
People were shocked and tried to find the reason.
"You're very good." A look of recognition appeared on Poseidon's indifferent face, and the aura he had released had long been retracted.
"You are also very good." Tang Wei's eyes were calm, with a slight curve at the corners of his mouth.
"It all depends on who encounters Shrek Academy first." Poseidon said nothing more and turned away.
Looking at his departing figure, Tang Wei relaxed his breath after suppressing it for a few seconds, and his eyes became complicated: "Interesting, I really came to the right place for this competition. That Huo Yuhao was the first, and this guy is the second one who can oppress me." "I don't know if there is anyone else hiding, come out soon, otherwise this experience will be meaningless."
"Brother Yuan, what did the people from Haotian Sect say?" A very beautiful girl walked forward. Her light blue tights set off her slim figure to the fullest. It was Chen Wanyun, who almost killed Nan Qiuqiu earlier.
Her identity is very special. Her great-grandfather is the contemporary patriarch of the Poseidon family, Chen Tianhai.
Chen Tianhai doted on Chen Wanyun to the extreme, mainly because Chen Wanyun's father and grandfather were both killed by the Demon Emperor.
This is the only child in the Chen family.
How could he not spoil her? In fact, Chen Tianhai had not agreed to let Chen Wanyun attend this competition, but he could not resist his great-granddaughter's coquettishness and had to agree.
The members of the Sea God family gathered around silently, and a faint soul power spread out, blocking anyone else from eavesdropping.
"The people of Haotian Sect didn't agree." Poseidon shook his head. "After all, Lord Poseidon is from Haotian Sect. They directly refused. I can't say anything more. I can only hope that we will meet Shrek Academy first."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanyun and the others felt angry.
They are not interested in the competition, they just want revenge.
Chen Wanyun snorted coldly: "They should be thankful that they come from the sect where Lord Poseidon once belonged. If it were any other team, why would they..."
"Sister Yun." Poseidon's eyes stopped Chen Wanyun from continuing.
Realizing that she had said something wrong, Chen Wanyun pursed her lips. At this moment, a voice, with the help of a soul-amplifying device, rang out throughout the fighting arena.
"All participating teams please be quiet. Next, the draw ceremony will officially begin."
Upon hearing the prompt, the team, which was originally standing scattered, immediately stood in a vertical row.
In the distance, a large group of people were walking slowly, and in front were Juzi and Xu Tianran who was being pushed by her.
Xu Tianran was no stranger to the majority of participating teams. More than 900 people at the scene looked at him collectively, and some of them were surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire would personally attend the draw ceremony for the top 32 of the 64 finalists.
"Let's start." Xu Tianran said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, sir." The chairman of the Sun and Moon Organizing Committee took the order and quickly came to the microphone. "In order not to delay everyone's rest time, the drawing ceremony will be concluded as quickly as possible."
"Captains of all participating teams, follow the instructions on the soul guide screen in the fighting arena and come up to draw lots in order. The numbers are one to thirty-two."
On the soul guide screens installed on the walls on both sides of the fighting arena, a large number of participating team names appeared on the left soul guide screen.
The first place is Shrek Academy.
"Please ask the captain of Shrek Academy to come up and draw lots."
"Yuhao, go ahead." Zhang Lexuan said.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, and under the gaze of hundreds of people at the scene, he walked straight out of the team and came in front of the chairman.
The tool used for drawing lots is no longer a lottery tube, but a touch screen like a tablet computer. When you put your palm on it, it will play a rotating animation and then show the drawn number.
Looking at this way of drawing lots, an inexplicable smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips. He raised his head and glanced at the chairman of the Sun and Moon Organizing Committee.
Gudong.
Under the gaze of Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes that seemed to see through everything, the chairman swallowed subconsciously.
"Will this kid figure out something?"
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, serial numbers appeared on the giant soul guide screen on the right side of the fighting arena.
Number five!
In an instant, the teams that did not want to face Shrek Academy immediately began to pray. They had no intention of winning the championship, they just wanted to win as much as possible, and rewards were king.
As for the teams that are recognized as strong contenders for the championship, they are all eager to give it a try. Shrek Academy has won the championship for so many years, and everyone wants to take a step forward. This is a good opportunity to prove themselves.
"Next, please let the Seagod Family draw the lot." The chairman maintained a calm expression and watched Huo Yuhao return.
A man came towards them, wearing dark blue tights and with scales on his temples. Huo Yuhao looked into his eyes.
There was no violent conflict; both sides simply glanced at each other and then passed each other by.
"Sea God Family, serial number is 10."
At the moment Huo Yuhao returned to the team, Poseidon also completed the drawing of lots. Looking at the result, his expression was slightly solemn.
Soon, teams came forward to draw lots.
Haotian Sect: Number eight.
Snow Demon Sect: Number 12.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy: Number 15.
Mad Beast Sect: Number twenty-six.
Shenjianmen: No. 32.
Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy: Number 28.
Earth Dragon Gate: Number 17.
Glorious Sect: Number 13.
Holy Spirit Sect: Number seven.
Dio Academy: Number 8.
Qianling Academy: Number One.
Tianyin Family: Number Three.
Douling Royal Soul Master Academy: Number 10.
Jianmen: Number four.
……
During the draw ceremony, some teams that were not drawn as strong teams breathed a sigh of relief, while others were so shocked after seeing the results of the draw that everyone in the team was stunned.
For example, Di'ao Academy and Douling Royal Soul Master Academy.
The strength displayed by the Haotian Sect and the Sea God Family is definitely the strongest so far.
If the competition did not have rules that stated that if one admitted defeat immediately at the start, the reward would be directly deducted, otherwise they would definitely choose to admit defeat on the spot.
In such an atmosphere, suddenly, there was an uproar. In the distance, the expressions of the people in Tianlongmen changed drastically, especially Yu Tianlong himself. The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at the lottery number from his aunt.
Number five!
Collided with Shrek Academy.
"I'm lucky." Yu Longxiao was very satisfied with her draw number. It was not that she was arrogant, but she wanted to challenge Shrek Academy.
In the Shrek team, the students had slightly serious expressions. The strength of Tianlongmen was very strong. It was definitely the strongest team they had met since the preliminaries, so they had to take it seriously.
After the drawing of lots was over, Xu Tianran said some words of encouragement and ended the ceremony. People left with different emotions.
The final round of the Fighting Spirit Competition, from 64 to 32, will officially begin tomorrow.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Xu Tianran looked at the departing figures of the Shrek Academy with great interest.
"Juzi, arrange for someone to notify the people of the Sea God Family and have their leader come to the East Palace to see me."
"Yes, sir." Orange responded respectfully.
"Everything is under control." Xu Tianran stretched out his hand towards the void, then clenched it tightly, with a satisfied smile in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
