Douluo: Peerless Tang Sect’s Pure Lotus Burning Heaven

Chapter 124 The end of the round robin and the top auction

At night, there was lightning and thunder in Xingluo City and heavy rain poured down.

The ruthless heavy rain and wind crackled all night long and stopped until the early morning. The morning mist was as light as gauze and paired with a pure fish belly white in the sky. This morning was so beautiful that it was almost blurry.

The round-robin competition is still going on. In the next few round-robin matches, the opponents faced by Shrek Academy will all be completely crushed like the previous academies. Some even perform far worse than the first two academies. .

After two two-two-three battles and one individual elimination round, Shrek Academy successfully entered the final stage of the elimination round.

The one who advanced together with Shrek Academy was Thousand Spirits Academy, which was originally defeated at the hands of Wei Anyian.

Although Wei Anyian was easily defeated, Tuoba Yue's white-armored earth dragon and Mo Ling's vampire bat were both very powerful and difficult spirits. With the outstanding performance of the two, Qianling Academy finally advanced to the top sixteen .

That's right, there will be a total of sixteen colleges that advance from the knockout rounds, which are the top sixteen in this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.Next, four more rounds of competition will be held to determine the final champion.

Because some groups have nine participating teams, after Shrek Academy completes the promotion, the round robin will continue for two to three days to complete the final finishing stage.

Everyone in Shrek was chatting in the conference room. After all, tomorrow, the final cruel and fierce elimination round of sixteen to eight will begin.

The most idle people are the members of Shrek's reserve team. In Beibei's words - "We feel like we are just idle every day."

This fellow Xu Sanshi continued to pester Jiang Nannan, but every time he was frustrated by Jiang Nannan.

His unfailing attitude made Dai Yueheng and Yao Haoxuan, two male disciples of the inner courtyard who were not familiar with him, couldn't help but stand in awe.

Wei Anyian looked at Ning Tian who was leaning on him with a smile.

Against the background of platinum hair, Ning Tian, ​​who was bathed in the light of the soul guide, had a white and delicate skin that was as translucent as white jade.Lifting her chin slightly, her water-blue beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"An Nian, what are you doing in Xingluo City these days?"

Wei Anyian said with a smile: "Experience the customs and customs of Xingluo City."

"Is there anything interesting about that?"

Wei Anyian couldn't help but think of the special maid uniforms and stockings that the Ice Emperor had been wearing half forcefully and half voluntarily these past few days... It can only be said that the nobles of Xingluo City are really good at playing.

He said seriously: "The traditional costumes of Xingluo nobles are very distinctive."

Ning Tian nodded confusedly, "Really?"

Xu Sanshi glanced enviously at the two people who got along very harmoniously, smiled flatteringly at Jiang Nannan, and then wanted to squeeze in beside her, but his flattering smile made him feel extremely vulgar no matter how he looked at it.

"Pa—" a crisp voice sounded, making Xu Sanshi sober up instantly.

I saw Jiang Nannan glaring at Xu Sanshi with a frosty face, and a crack had appeared on the solid wood table.

Xu Sanshi quickly sat upright, not daring to make any more unnecessary movements.

Sun Li and He Caitou, who were sitting across from each other, looked at each other with gloating smiles.

At this moment, Wang Yan opened the door and walked in.

"The matchup list for the knockout stage has come out." Wang Yan, who was sitting at the top, said with a relaxed expression. He had just returned from the palace drawing lots.

"The academy we faced in the [-]th and [-]th round is an old rival. The number one academy in the Tianhun Empire, Di'ao Academy."

Hearing this name, Wei Anyian smiled. The butterfly effect he brought was a bit big. Not only was the academy he played against completely different from the original one, but was it even different if he advanced from sixteen to eight?If he remembered correctly, the original opponent for this match should have been the Dou Ling Royal Academy.

but……

Wang Yan said what Wei Anyian was thinking, "But as Di'ao Academy is strong, we are stronger."

"Our Shrek Academy's ultimate goal is to win the championship, and our biggest opponent is the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Before that, it is best to retain some strength. Now, I will first tell you the rules of the final knockout round."

"In the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the competition rules for each stage are different. Especially the final knockout stage, in order to make the competition more exciting, and also to allow the participating students to perform better Show your own strength. The way of the game will be different from the previous round-robin games."

"It's different again." Xu Sanshi complained.

Wang Yan just smiled and said, "Yes, there is no need to draw lots to decide the way of the game. Instead, there will be a seven-on-seven team game first, and then an individual elimination game. It will be held over two days. Winning the team battle does not mean that you will definitely qualify. In the subsequent individual elimination rounds, if the team that loses in the team battle can defeat all seven of the opponent's team with three members, it can also turn defeat into victory."

"Conversely, the side that wins the team battle only needs to defeat the opponent's three players with seven players in the subsequent individual knockout match to win the final victory. This kind of competition system not only reflects the importance of the overall strength of the team , It also gives opportunities to those teams with strong individual strength."

It can be said that with the two soul emperor-level powerhouses Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng and the bug-level combat power of Wei Anyian, this competition system is extremely beneficial to everyone.

At least in this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, Wang Yan could not find any participating student who could surpass Wei Anyian in personal strength.

He is not too worried about tomorrow's game against Di'ao Academy.The only thing he needs to consider is whether he can allow everyone to win while retaining their strength.

So he made very detailed arrangements for tomorrow's game.

Taking part in the team battle were Dai Yueheng, Gong Yangmo, Wei Anyian, Yao Haoxuan and Beibei and Xu Sanshi from the reserve team.

Just as Wang Yan was explaining the tactical arrangements, a pleasant female voice came from outside the door: "Sorry to bother you, I'm from the Starlight Auction House."

Starlight Auction House?Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Wang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Beibei, who was closest to the door, had already stood up and gave Wang Yan a questioning look. After seeing Wang Yan's affirmative nod, Beibei then Go over and open the door.

A woman in a long black dress stood outside the door. She looked 28 or [-] years old. She was the same Qing Ya who hosted the last auction.Her eyes fell directly on Wang Yan, she smiled slightly, and saluted Wang Yan: "Hello, Teacher Wang. I'm sorry for disturbing you all." Wang Yan asked doubtfully: "What's the matter with you?"

Qing Ya apologized: "That's right, our Starlight Auction House will hold a top-level auction tonight. Auctions of this level usually only happen once or twice a year. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited by us. We The owner of the auction house asked me to distribute invitations to you. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. I believe there will be something that you are interested in at today's auction."

While talking, she took out a stack of invitations and put them on the table, then saluted again with a smile on her face, and said, "I won't disturb you all. Sorry again."

Then she backed away slowly, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her.

Dai Yueheng looked at the stack of exquisite gold-gilded invitations and looked very surprised, "Invitation to the top auction at Starlight Auction House?"

Wang Yan looked at Dai Yueheng and asked, "Yaoheng, do you know about this top auction?"

Dai Yueheng took an invitation, looked at it, and said: "It is indeed a top-level auction. The auctioneer is right, there are only one or two auctions of this level a year. I was not qualified to participate before. , only my father, members of the royal family, big businessmen, top soul masters and soul mentors can participate in an auction of this level."

"There are definitely a lot of good things in there, but the prices are also very high. This Starlight Auction House is probably just to make friends with our college, and it doesn't have any other meaning. Teacher Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Yan glanced around the crowd with a smile, "Everyone has been participating in the competition, so you should relax. However, watch more and talk less, and avoid all troubles as much as possible. Tomorrow's competition is very important and cannot be affected in any way. Immediately after the auction ends Return to the hotel and rest.”

Xu Sanshi shrugged and said, "Are you tired? It feels no different from an outing."

Everyone laughed when they heard his words.

Wang Yan laughed and scolded: "You little guys, please take your mind back! I'm going to continue arranging the tactics for tomorrow's game. Sit down and listen!"

It didn't take long to arrange the game tactics. After that, everyone went back to their rooms to practice.After dinner, they each changed into ordinary clothes, took the invitations from the Starlight Auction House, and walked out of the Star Emperor Hotel under the leadership of Wang Yan.

Since the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the originally vast Xingluo City has become crowded.

Even now that the night is falling, the excitement is still the same.

After passing through several wide streets, a tall building appeared in front of everyone, and a group of more than a dozen people came to the Starlight Auction House again.

The elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. Dressed in a long black dress, she looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights, with a gentle look on her pretty face.

Qing Ya said with a happy face: "Welcome all distinguished guests."

Wang Yan also smiled and said, "You seem to know that we will come."

Qingya shook her head and said: "I don't know, but my task is to receive all distinguished guests well. Whether you come or not, I will wait here until the auction officially starts. Everyone, please follow Qingya."

Looking at the dignified temperament with a touch of delicate elegance, Yao Haoxuan winked at Xu Sanshi, who was already familiar with him, and said, "This auctioneer is really quite charming."

Ma Xiaotao glared at Yao Haoxuan fiercely, "Pay attention to the image of our Shrek Academy. Don't go crazy here and embarrass our academy."

The situation in the auction house was the same as that day, and there was no publicity for today's top auction.Under Qing Ya's leadership, they walked straight inward this time, and soon passed the venue where they participated in the auction last time.

Going all the way to the end, two girls in golden dresses came up to them. After bowing slightly to the crowd, they had a brief conversation with Qingya. Then, one girl turned to the wall, raised her right hand and pressed softly on the wall. .

Suddenly, a strange scene appeared.Water-like light patterns appeared on the wall, and then, the layers of light gradually stabilized. The girl pressed her palm on it, and a horizontal light pattern swept from top to bottom, and then with a buzzing sound, the wall slowly moved to both sides. It opened, revealing a passage.

Unlike the splendor outside, this passage is pure white.It is not a cold white, but a special feeling full of soft texture.

Whether it is the ground, the walls or the top, it is paved with a kind of translucent white jade, and some strange core magic circles are faintly engraved inside the jade.Soft white light diffuses in this slightly narrow space, giving people a sense of mist.

Wei Anyian was thinking that under his interference, the Snow Emperor might not be sealed by the ninth-level soul master using the God Conferring Platform.Even the soul bone produced by the 7-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion and possessing the magical skill of ice blast will probably never appear again.

After all, the Snow Emperor happened to be discovered by a ninth-level soul master when he was rebuilding his cultivation and was sealed away... Something seemed wrong.

While Wei Anyian was still thinking, Qingya, who was walking at the front, led everyone forward and introduced to everyone: "This is the first-class exhibition hall where we hold top auctions. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited to enter. Today I I am also in the favor of all the distinguished guests, otherwise I would not be qualified to enter here with my auctioneer level."

Not long after walking, small doors began to appear on both sides.Finally, Qingya led the crowd into the No. [-] door.

This is a rectangular room with an area of ​​about [-] square meters. Even the rooms on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel are far less luxuriously decorated.

One of the walls on the long side is crystal clear, and only this wall has no decorations such as reliefs and depictions.

The large sofa is quietly displayed in the center of the spacious room, placed in a circular arc facing the crystal clear wall.

The two girls in gold skirts who came in with Qing Ya stood on either side of the sofa, waiting for everyone's orders at any time.

He Caitou looked at the crystal-clear wall and asked in surprise: "Is this a light guide screen?"

Qingya nodded and said: "This is a light guide screen specially customized by our auction house in the Sun and Moon Empire. It can transmit images in a special way. Its core array is not driven by soul power, but comes from the Sun and Moon An ore of the empire.”

Hearing this, He Caitou was even more surprised. After all, what does it mean to be able to use ore to activate the soul guide?This means that the soul master can use the soul guide without outputting soul power!The soul guides usually used by noble families are also made by their subordinates who have stored their soul power in advance.

Wei Anyian said: "It's not as magical as the senior thought. This kind of ore should only emit weak soul power, and it can't be used in combat-type soul guides."

He Caitou breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried, "This also means that the Sun and Moon Empire's soul guidance technology is stronger than ours."

Wei Anyian gave him a strange look, "Good guy, I have the blood of Sun and Moon in my body, but my heart is still Douluo heart."
