Am I the First Emperor of Qin in Peerless Tang Sect?

Chapter 71 Unexpected Grouping (Please follow up)
"Our knockout rounds are over, and next will be the group round robin. There are eight groups in total, with eight to nine teams in each group. Only the first and second teams in the group can advance."

"We will definitely be divided into a group of eight teams. We only need to play one game with the other seven teams."

"..."

"In short, this is the arrangement for the next games. Do you have any objections?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Everyone in the Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy shook their heads and had no objections.

Zhou Xuan's arrangement is already very complete, with basically no flaws.

"If you are willing to watch the knockout matches in these two days, please stay and watch them with me. If you are not interested, just stay in the hotel and rest."

……

Two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye, and the first knockout round of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Soul Fighting Competition was finally over.

Although the first round of the knockout round was not the most exciting, it was definitely the most cruel and regrettable.

There are a total of 130 three teams, with only 67 teams left.

The emotions of the spectators watching the game in Xingluo Square have been completely aroused.

The following round robin will undoubtedly be very exciting, which has led to many people coming to Xingluo Square the night before to buy tickets and reserve seats, just to have a glimpse of the top colleges.

Although Xingluo Square is large in area, it can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators. It is absolutely impossible to attract all the spectators who want to watch the game.

Therefore, the official Star Luo Empire naturally increased the price of tickets, but even so, tickets for the game were still hard to come by, and the area around Star Luo Square was packed every day when they went on sale.

It is now the fourth day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Soul Fighting Competition. The drawing ceremony of the round-robin tournament and the first game of each group will begin on this day.

Although the teams from participating colleges have not entered the venue yet, Xingluo Square is already bustling with people.

Because based on the experience of previous competitions, one of the Royal Academy teams, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team, and the Shrek Academy team from the host country will definitely appear today.

The most anticipated thing is Qingxuanjing. The performance of one against seven that day was really amazing. Everyone is hoping that Qingxuanjing will appear again and bring another exciting game.

Xu Jiawei also climbed to the top of the imperial city in advance to wait.

Not long after, the 67 qualifying teams had all assembled and were waiting in the players’ rest area.

The Star Luo Empire officially provides very good treatment to these 67 academies. Each team has a comfortable sofa in the rest area, and there are various drinks and fruits grown in the Star Luo Empire on the coffee table in front of them.

Even teams with many qualifiers can sit down and rest.

Seeing that all 67 teams had arrived, the Star Luo Empire's chief minister in charge of the competition quickly stepped forward and used a loudspeaker to signal the audience to quiet down.

"Witnessed by His Majesty and all members of the organizing committee, the 67 round-robin teams were divided into five groups of eight teams and three groups of nine teams through transparent and open lottery rules. The top two in each group can enter the ten For the knockout rounds of the top six, the draw will now be announced.”

"The first group: Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy, Sun Moon Soul Beast Advanced Research and Application Academy..."

"The second group, Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Zhengtian Academy..."

"The third group, Di'ao Academy, Dou Ling Royal Soul Engineer Academy..."

"The fourth group, Mingdu Soul Master Academy, Lingdou Advanced Soul Master Academy..."

"The fifth group, Shrek Academy, Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy..."

"what?"

"Uh?"

"This……"

"..."

The first few groups were considered normal, until the Minister of Affairs announced that the fifth group was to be divided into groups, everyone became uneasy.

"Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy were assigned to the same group?"

Countless people looked shocked, even Wang Yan, the leading teacher of Shrek Academy, looked confused. "This..." Wang Yan's expression was extremely exciting, and he even didn't know what kind of expression he should put on.

Beside him, the Ice Elemental Soul King Ling Luochen, Shrek Academy's strongest combat force at present, also looked very unhappy.

"Did the Star Luo Empire do this on purpose?" Wang Yan frowned.

Beibei, the reserve captain who had basically recovered from his injuries, seemed to have remembered something and said, "Actually, this may be a measure taken by the Star Luo Empire to protect us?"

Everyone in Shrek Academy turned to Beibei with doubts on their faces.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Beibei also said seriously: "That's it. Maybe other colleges don't know the specific situation of our Shrek, but the Star Luo Empire officials must know. If they really want to do something to us If the situation is unfavorable, we can be placed in a group with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, there is no need for us to face the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy."

"And according to the remaining six teams in this group, they don't seem to be strong. If we perform normally, we can join hands with the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy to qualify."

"After entering the top [-] at the same time, due to the principle of avoiding the same group, if we and the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy want to meet again, we have to wait until the finals."

"With our current strength, we will not be very stable when we meet any empire's seed team. Therefore, the Star Luo Empire officials probably put us into a group with the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy out of protection. Wang Teacher, is this possible?"

After listening to Beibei's analysis, everyone in Shrek Academy nodded thoughtfully.

Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said: "It is possible, but now that the group results have come out, it is useless to say anything more. What I ask of you is to advance to the top sixteen. If you can, fight for the top spot in the group. If you can't, fight for it. no problem."

Xu Jiawei, who was looking into the distance in the stands, remained expressionless.

He knew that this grouping would cause a lot of controversy, but this was the better way he could think of to handle it.

After all, with the current strength of Shrek Academy, it is not considered a first-rate team at all, that is, a mid-level second-rate team. If nothing is done, Shrek Academy may really stop at the top 67.

But if we really arrange a bunch of rubbish teams for Shrek Academy, then the intention is too obvious.

Although they are in the same group as the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, Shrek Academy is definitely out of the running for the top spot in the group, but with the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy here, the other teams will have an additional loss. Some, lower the difficulty for Shrek Academy.

As for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, needless to say, they are divided into neat groups, neither good nor bad.

Neither did he offend the Sun and Moon Empire, nor did he offend Shrek excessively.

After all, their Xingluo Royal Academy will have to deal with these two families in the future.

Unlike those at Shrek Academy who were full of thoughts, those at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were quite relaxed.

The strongest team in the group where the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is located is the Zhengtian Academy representative team, but the strongest among that team is just a level 58 soul king.

Although there are still two soul kings in Zhengtian Academy, their strength is far from that of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Therefore, the purpose of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is very simple, to win and advance to the top sixteen.

The results of the draw have been announced, some are happy and some are sad, but the start of the game will not be suspended due to personal will.

After arousing the emotions of the audience, the host announced loudly with an exciting and high-pitched voice: "Next, the first match on the first day of the round-robin competition will be between the Shrek Academy representative team and their opponent, the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy representative Enter the waiting area! At the same time, the captains of both sides are invited to come on stage to decide how they will play!"

"Wow!"

The format of the round robin is very simple. Each team in the group plays one game, and there are three ways of fighting, determined by drawing lots.

The three battle methods are: one-on-one individual battle, seven-on-seven team battle, and two-two-three battle.

It has to be said that the organizer will arrange the competition. The first one is the collision between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, which attracted a lot of attention.

This is not only a competition between two top universities, but also almost a battle for the top spot in the group.

Over at Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen stood up and walked towards the waiting area.

As for the Xingluo Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Xu Jiujiu went to draw lots as the captain.

At this moment, Huo Yucheng's eyes fell on someone from the Shrek Academy team.

At this moment, Huo Yucheng's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
