Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 621: A Small Profit

Jiang Ming, who was chatting and laughing with Zhang Lexuan, could feel the various gazes around him, but as an extremely outstanding man, he was no longer surprised by such gazes. This was a process that an outstanding man must go through - to maintain a calm state of mind on a stage that was the focus of everyone's attention.

Of course, the mess in his body now does not allow him to pay attention to too many other things.

It was not enough to just sit next to Zhang Lexuan and use distraction to avoid the pain coming from all over the body.

His meridians, bones, and internal organs had all suffered severe damage in last night's battle. Even after a short period of recovery, he still hadn't fully recovered.

He needed to concentrate and suppress the pain in his body and the desire to tremble because of the pain.

At least in public, he could not show any sign of decline, as that would bring about even more terrible disasters.

Xiao Ling's life force and the power of the fluffy and magical grass are restoring Jiang Ming's body. In fact, it is precisely because of these two forces that Jiang Ming's body has not collapsed under high pressure.

But even so, the entire recovery process will take some time.

On the competition stage, teams from two sects were engaged in a team battle.

Judging from the distribution of the number of teams currently entering the round-robin tournament, there are obviously more teams from sects than from academies.

This is normal.

After all, the way a sect trains disciples is different from the way an academy trains students. A sect is more focused when training disciples and is also more willing to invest, because that is the future of the sect after all.

There is a Soul Emperor in each of the two sect teams. If they were in the last competition, they would have been able to enter the top eight, and even have a chance to enter the top four.

But now, they have to decide the winner in the round-robin tournament, and one of the teams will be eliminated directly.

It's brutal, but that's the game.

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan is still the referee. He did not go to the clouds to participate in the battle last night. As a priest in the royal worship hall, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes out, someone is needed to guard him in the palace.

Obviously, he, a ninth-level soul engineer with extremely strong defensive power, is the best choice.

Of course, it is precisely because of his choice that he can continue to serve as a referee on the competition stage. Among the ninth-level soul masters who went to heaven last night, those who were least seriously injured will need at least a week of healing before they can recover.

Jiang Ming took a look at the team battle on the stage and quickly analyzed the result of the game.

The strength of the two sides is actually similar, and victory or defeat depends only on a moment's chance.

The participating team from one of the sects seized the opportunity and knocked the captain of the other sect off the stage first, and then won the game at the cost of all members being injured.

From the analysis I have seen, the winning sect team is no match for the Tang Sect and Shrek Team.

In fact, this was not what Jiang Ming was worried about.

He turned to look at Wang Qiu'er beside him and said softly, "Qiu'er, you will face the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team in a few days. Do you have confidence?"

Judging from the information Jiang Ming himself learned, the strength of the Shrek team is weaker than that of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team.

There was no way. The Shrek team could originally put together an all-Soul Emperor lineup, but it was divided into two teams, and most of the Soul Emperors were on the Tang Sect team's side, so it was very uncomfortable.

There was no change on Wang Qiuer's beautiful face. Her fair fingers stroked the golden dragon spear on her thigh, and her cold voice was filled with confidence.

"Can win."

These two simple words seem very domineering.

Behind her, Dai Huabin, Ning Tianxie Huanyue and other team members were also full of confidence.

Even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of overall soul power cultivation, the education received by Shrek Academy students was not based solely on soul power cultivation.

Those with high soul power cultivation are not necessarily stronger!
Of course, if the opponent is a lineup of all Soul Saints and Soul Emperors like the previous Shrek team, that would be a bit of a problem.

Indeed, the strength between soul masters is not based solely on soul power.

But if the difference in soul power is too great, then the saying "one force can defeat ten skills" is true.

But it is obvious that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy would not be so exaggerated.

Seeing that the Shrek team and others were full of confidence, Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

He also felt he could win.

Jiang Ming did not stay in the viewing tent for too long. After watching one or two games, he took the Shrek team and the Tangmen team back to the hotel.

From now on, the people of the Shrek team and the people of the Tang Sect will basically come and go together and will not be separated at all!
If Xu Tianran would not act so quickly before last night, it is hard to say after last night's battle.

So, no one can lose points!

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Ming asked the four Super Douluo, Mu Lao, Xuan Lao, Song Lao, and Zhang Lexuan, to watch over the Shrek team and the Tangmen team to protect their safety.

As for himself, he entered the small world and tried to recover as quickly as possible.

He brought everyone to the competition venue today just to show up and confuse people.

Time passed by minute by minute and night fell quickly.

Under the protection of Master Xuan, Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou changed their appearance and went to the venue where the Mingdu Soul Mentor Competition was held by the Xishui League.

On the other side, the injured Ming Jiang also walked out of his residence in Mingdetang and went to the venue where the Mingdu Soul Mentor Competition was held by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

“You are here.”

Outside the Odu Hotel, Kano said respectfully.

"Um."

Ming Jiang nodded slightly: "What happened today?"

Kano said: "Today, two powerful soul masters were sent over, one at level six and one at level seven. Together with me, they form the judging panel."

Ming Jiang didn't say much about this. For him, a ninth-level soul engineer, the jury composed of sixth- and seventh-level soul engineers was nothing.

Then, Kano began to introduce today's competition system to Mingjiang.

"Sir, it's like this. I didn't know about today's competition system in advance. It was announced just after the gambling started. The 48 people who qualified in the last round will be divided into 24 groups for the elimination competition in this round. Each group consists of two soul guides. There are no restrictions on the soul guides produced.

We will provide a variety of rare metals and common metals for soul masters to choose from. But this time the time is limited to only two hours.

Two hours later, the soul masters could only take their newly made soul guides for on-site testing. They could observe their opponent's soul guides without touching them with their hands.

If you find that your soul guide is too different from your opponent's, you can choose to admit defeat. If neither side admits defeat, we will set up a competition venue, and both sides will hold their latest soul guides and fight without using other soul guides and soul skills. Whoever wins will advance. "

Kano said a lot, but Mingjiang just listened to the general idea.

In a soul guide competition, these rule changes cannot be separated from the core.

As long as the soul master is strong enough, this change in the rules of the game will not have much impact at all.

However, when Kano said that this battle was a matter of life and death, Mingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly under the mask.

After all, they are an underground force. They compete against each other without regard to life or death. This is quite exciting.

Of course, this is for other soul masters. For him, it is nothing.

He looked at Kano on the side and said in a deep voice: "These are meaningless to me. What I care about is how much I can earn from this game."

If those spectators who were watching the game and placing bets in the lobby were the people playing the game, with some winning and some losing, then what Mingjiang wanted to do was to target those who were dividing the cake behind the scenes.

There is no losing, only winning!
"This"

Kano was a little hesitant. The card the other party gave him already had tens of millions of gold soul coins. If he really bet all of it, with the other party's strength, he would definitely win, but how much could he win?
If you bet on those bets with higher odds, then the funds in the entire gambling pool will not be enough to pay for it!
"Okay, you're in a dilemma. So, you bet all the money in your card on me. Bet one minute before the game starts. My odds shouldn't be that high, right? Just make a small profit."

Mingjiang waved his hands with an indignant look on his face, as if he had made some extremely significant concessions.

But these words did not make Kano's expression any more relaxed. When the funds are large enough, even if the odds are not very high, it is still a very large number!
It is true that Mingjiang performed very well in the previous few games. Many people bet on him, and the odds became smaller. In many cases, the odds were not even 1:1, but 1:0.

But a fraction of tens of millions is also worth tens of millions of gold soul coins!

Of course, compared with other betting methods, it is still relatively small.

After all, if you bet with the highest odds, you will have to pay hundreds of millions, or even millions!

Kano went to place bets, and Mingjiang walked into the VIP room alone.

As soon as he entered the VIP room, he was stared at by several people.

Wearing a mask, his performance in the previous few games was indeed very impressive. In the eyes of these soul masters who also performed well, he was undoubtedly a very competitive opponent.

Mingjiang found a seat and sat down, ignoring the looks from the players around him. The highest level of cultivation of these soul masters was only Soul Emperor or Soul Saint, which was nothing worth noting to him.

Mingjiang's aloof temperament also put an end to the other players' desire to come over and say hello.

"Dear guests, the competition is about to begin." The staff came in to announce.

The contestants stood up one after another, but they basically waited for Mingjiang to leave first before filing out of the VIP room.

The Golden Hall was still bustling, and today, the circular platform in the center could finally accommodate all the contestants. Forty-eight soul guide production tables were neatly placed on the circular platform, forming arcs.

The VIP areas that seemed to be suspended in mid-air were already full of people. The ordinary areas in the Golden Hall were even more packed.

There were some changes in the Golden Hall - there was a platform behind the competition stage. This platform was about five meters above the ground, rectangular, fifty meters long, almost connecting from one end of the Golden Hall to the other, but only five meters wide. The entire platform seemed to be made of metal, suspended in the air by steel cables.

Obviously, this should be the place where the soul masters will fight after completing their soul guides.

Soon, Mingjiang was brought to the competition stage by the staff.

His opponent was a young man who looked to be in his late twenties or early twenties, and it seemed that he was competing due to his age limit.

For other players, it is very uncomfortable to choose such an opponent.

Normally, being older means having a higher level of cultivation, having a stronger attainment in soul guides, and having a higher level of soul guide!
But for Mingjiang, there is no need to worry.

His eyes fell directly on the various rare metals displayed on the competition stage.

All soul guide production tables have a three-layer storage grid. Each layer is filled with various metals. The first layer is common metals; the upper two layers are rare metals, with as many as 32 kinds.

Such abundant materials are enough to make even a seventh-level soul guide.

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce was quite generous. No wonder they sent a seventh-level soul master to act as a referee.

However, there are not many who can reach the seventh-level soul mentor level before the age of thirty. Those geniuses are either already talented students of Mingde Hall or are the key training targets of the royal family. They basically will not participate in competitions organized by such underground forces.

of course there are exceptions.

Within the range of Mingjiang's spiritual detection, he discovered that there was more than one person from Mingdetang here.

At this moment, three small circular platforms slowly rose in front of the competition stage. Two old men stood on two of the platforms, and the other one was Kano.

The platform rose until it was one meter higher than the competition stage before it stopped. The old man standing in the center said in a deep voice:

"Hello, soul mentors and guests. I am the chief referee of this match. The match is about to begin. The timer will start after I announce the start of the match. The time limit is two hours.

Within two hours, all soul masters can make soul guides to the best of their ability. You have only one goal, which is to defeat your opponent. The winner will advance.

After explaining the rules, about half a minute passed for the contestants to adjust their states before the chief referee shouted "start".

All the soul engineers got busy immediately.

The soul engineer opposite Mingjiang looked very nervous. He was a fifth-level soul engineer, which was not weak among these soul engineers.

But facing Mingjiang, the difference is huge.

He was still selecting metal materials on the competition stage, preparing to make a fifth-level soul guide with powerful attack power, when he inadvertently looked up at Ming Jiang opposite him, only to find that the other party had picked up a rare metal that was enough to carve the core formation of a sixth-level soul guide!
And the speed is simply too fast!

It was so fast that he thought the other party was not carving the core array of a sixth-level soul guide, but was carving some elementary, entry-level first and second-level core arrays!
"Hmm? Is he going to make a sixth-level soul guide? Even if he is a sixth-level soul guide, it is very difficult to complete a sixth-level soul guide in two hours!"

The seventh-level soul master on the platform narrowed his eyes and commented.
