The first round of drawing lots was undoubtedly very important. If they could draw a weaker opponent, it would be quite beneficial for any team.
This was especially true for a team like Shrek Academy that had a bye in the second round. If they could easily win the first round, then they would be able to conserve their energy and focus on the third round. From the third round onwards, it would be the real competition.
Flender very quickly returned, his complexion clearly very good, a smile on his face, looking at his triumphant appearance, needless to ask, this draw was naturally very good.
Suddenly, Flender's expression turned stiff, saying to everyone: "Bad news and good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Everyone stared blankly for a moment, Dai Mubai said: "Then let's start with the bad news."
"The bad news is, your first opponent is Blazing Academy.”
"Blazing Academy?" Everyone frowned. Ever since the Blazing Academy group had researched the method to deal with Tang San in the ranking competition, and the other two students had risen to the fortieth rank and above, they had been able to defeat Tang San. They had already become one of the strongest teams on the Heaven Dou Empire's side. Even compared to Godwind Academy, they weren't much inferior.
Don't look at Shrek Academy's easy victory in the ranking competition, but they had suffered in the qualifiers.
Of course, Blazing Academy wasn't enough to stop their advance, but encountering such a strong team, and in the first round, it wasn't an easy draw. "How come we meet them every time we compete, it's too fated.”
"Flender, what's the good news?”
"The good news is that Blazing Academy gave up on the finals, automatically forfeiting.”
Almost everyone from Shrek Academy had the same expression.
"Blazing Academy also paid quite a bit to be able to enter the finals, how could they suddenly forfeit?”
Flender spread his hands, saying: I don't know. The news came out of nowhere. But no matter what, this is good news for us. The first two rounds were consecutively empty."
"It's not bad, directly entering the top ten without even playing."^^^^”
"The match is about to begin. All of you have to take a good look at your opponents. This was an elimination round. It was not easy to hide one's strength. The biggest advantage of not having a fight in the first two rounds was not that they could not fight, but that they could better understand the strength of their opponents. Those who could enter the third round. None of them were weaklings, at least not weaker than Blazing Academy.”
The grand finals did not have the grand opening ceremony that they had imagined. Everything was very simple. A red-robed cardinal of Spirit Hall went up on stage, announcing the start of the finals, and at the same time announcing the lineup and bye list. The match began under Spirit Hall's specially selected referee. Neither side was strong in the first match. The Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help whispering in their resting area.
"How come this grand finals doesn't look as grand as the qualifiers?" There wasn't even an opening ceremony. There were also pitifully few spectators. There are at most a few thousand people."
"Even though there are only a few thousand people, don't forget, they're all Spirit Masters. Moreover, the vast majority should belong to Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters.
Spirit Hall should have its reasons for not allowing commoners to watch the battle. Didn't teacher say that the final three finals would be held in front of Supreme Pontiff Palace? At that time, it would be the true climax of the finals. The current dullness was probably to prepare for the sex at that time.”
The first match ended very quickly. The second match was Godwind Academy versus Star Luo Empire's Nightshade Academy.
"What?" When Shrek Academy's group saw Godwind Academy's lineup, they couldn't help but stand up in shock.
In Godwind Academy's lineup, shockingly four people had changed. And these four people were unexpectedly from Blazing Academy.
The Star Luo Empire side's dozen or so academies didn't have much, but the Heaven Dou Empire side exploded. Why would a Blazing Academy team member appear in Godwind Academy?
Grandmaster frowned, Flender couldn't help saying: "What's going on? I'll go ask the organizing committee." After saying that. He quickly left.
The uproar below naturally did not affect the match. Huo Wu was overseeing the rear, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang stood at the front of the team. When they all revealed their spirit rings, the opponent's heart was already ice-cold.
The seven people representing Godwind Academy were without a doubt, all fortieth ranked and above Earth Spirit Ancestors. The entire match was a one-sided massacre. In fact, Fire Dance hadn't even used the Ring of Fire before.
"Didn't you say that participating academies couldn't change people midway?”
Grandmaster's eyes suddenly brightened,"They should be exploiting loopholes in the rules." The participating schools could not change their students midway. However, this didn't mean that a registered academy couldn't change academies at the last minute. This was not explicitly stated. Huo Wu and the other students were all on the list for this year's finals. As long as Spirit Hall acquiesced. It wasn't impossible for them to switch sides.”
"Then wouldn't we be able to do the same?"”
Grandmaster shook his head, The match had already begun. The final spots for each team to participate in the finals had been confirmed. Moreover, they were all going to participate in the competition today. After they had already participated in the competition, it was impossible to change the academy. Besides, which academy would give up their name in the finals? Blazing Academy played very big this time, not knowing what they paid to make Spirit Hall so accommodating.”
After a while, Flender returned with a gloomy expression. Spirit Hall's reply was very simple, within the rules, the committee wouldn't interfere.
Although the two academies had merged into one, they had given up a spot in the finals after all. In a sense, Shrek Academy was still the beneficiary.
It wasn't just Shrek Academy that protested, many academies on the Heaven Dou Empire side also protested, but they also experienced Spirit Hall's toughness for the first time. Spirit Hall's final reply was only one sentence, if you didn't want to participate you could withdraw. The organizing committee was absolutely fair.
The Heaven Dou Empire officials didn't step forward because of this. After all, the strengthened Godwind Academy still belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire side. If they could get good results, it wouldn't be bad for the Heaven Dou Empire.
Right now the relationship between the two great empires and Spirit Hall was at least harmonious on the surface. For such a small matter, they certainly wouldn't take the initiative to offend Spirit Hall.
The first two rounds of competition ended very quickly, and the top ten of the All-Big Six Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament were announced.
The third round of the competition was about to begin. Godwind Academy and Star Luo Empire's second place academy in this round's ranking competition had a bye. Shrek Academy had also welcomed their first match in the finals.
If nothing unexpected happened in the first two rounds, then the atmosphere of the finals suddenly became tense after the results of the third round were out.
Shrek Academy's good luck seemed to have been used up in the first two rounds. Their opponent in the third round was the Royal Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy. It was also the one sent by the Star Luo Empire among the three seeded teams.
However, this still wasn't the most eye-catching, even more shocking was the other match, Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy versus Heaven Dou Imperial Advanced Spirit Master Academy.
The collision between the two seeded teams seemed to prove the fairness of the finals.
Without a doubt, these two matches were the most important.
There was still half an hour before the start of the competition. The top ten contestants had already entered the arena to carry out the final preparations and warm-ups before the competition.
"Boss Dai, what's wrong?" Ma Hongjun asked somewhat puzzled. Ever since he knew the result of the draw, Dai Mubai's mood seemed to be very low, his entire person not saying a word in the process of coming from his residence to the competition grounds. It was completely different from his usual appearance.
Tang San naturally also saw that Dai Mubai's mood wasn't right, but he and Ma Hongjun felt different. Even though Dai Mubai was very silent, Tang San could still feel that he seemed to be accumulating something.
If they did not explode in silence, they would die in silence. With Dai Mubai's personality, it would undoubtedly be the former. His battle intent seemed to have reached its peak.
Not only was Dai Mubai in a bad mood, there was also Zhu Zhuqing. Only Zhu Zhuqing's expression was different from Dai Mubai's. Her usual ice cold eyes were now filled with excitement.
Dai Mubai didn't answer Ma Hongjun, but Zhu Zhuqing stood up. She bowed to everyone.
"Zhuqing, what are you doing?" Grandmaster frowned slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, This is my only chance with Mubai.”
"What exactly happened?" Could it be that you have enemies in the Royal Star Luo Academy?”
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, saying: This was a battle between clans. Mubai and I are both Star Luo Empire people. They belonged to two families. The relationship between our two families is extremely close. There was a tradition of marriage. In the family, only the most outstanding person could become the future heir. Mubai and I aren't Di sons of the clan. My elder sister and Mubai's elder brother have been engaged since childhood, Mubai and I are the same.”
"The four of us are the most outstanding children of our respective families. The reason Mubai and I came to the Heaven Dou Empire was to increase our strength. This All-Six Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is an opportunity the clan has given us. Because we are not legitimate sons, the chances of inheriting are much smaller. If we can defeat our brothers and sisters, then we will have the right to inherit the inheritance.”
"So your brother and sister are in the Royal Star Luo Advanced Spirit Master Academy team?"”
Asura thought,"If their brother and sister are really in that academy, my fifth trial will be difficult to deal with."
"Originally, I thought we didn't have any hope." However, when I came to Shrek Academy and met you, I suddenly realized that with your help, we have a good chance of victory.”
"Is power really that important?" Bing Yingxue couldn't help but ask. Even if you can inherit the family, will you really be happy?”
Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly,"If only it was that simple." Do you think we really value power that much? No, it wasn't. Our two families have extremely special rules. In order to make the future heir of the family more outstanding, once the disciples were selected, they would be able to compete for the position. They would treat these competing disciples as enemies and nurture them. The winner could inherit the family, but the loser would be extremely miserable. In order to prevent internal strife in the family, the loser of the competition would be directly killed. Therefore, we are not only competing for power, but also for our lives.”
Speaking up to here, Zhu Zhuqing's mood clearly became agitated,"Do you know why I've always been so cold to Mubai? Because I had already decided that I would definitely die when I was twenty-five. He might not even be 25 years old. Mubai's elder brother was six years older than him, his intelligence and strength were both top notch. My sister is also seven years older than me. We have nothing to do with competing with them. Thus, Mubai chose to fall after coming to the Heaven Dou Empire. He lingered among women. If he is like this, how can we have a chance to survive? I'm angry that he didn't fight for it."
Dai Mubai finally opened his mouth, How? Big Brother is six years older than me. He was almost certain to be the successor of the family. Choosing me as a backup is just to give big brother more pressure and motivation. Until two years ago, when I saw little San, you, Xiao Wu, Rongrong and Asura join the Academy, I saw hope. The time given by the family ends at the age of twenty-five.=== Apart from intelligence. His strength was tested in this All-Big Six Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. Zhuqing and I have to beat them while they are competing. They were almost 25 years old. This competition is our only chance. If we lose, then we have to be twice as good as them in other aspects in order to be recognized. But they have more support than we do, so that's almost impossible. I hate my family. However, for Zhuqing. I won't run away anymore. Even if I die today, I will not lose.”
His evil eyes turned blood-red, and the atmosphere suddenly became stifling. No one had expected this. Behind Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, there was unexpectedly still such enormous pressure and background. That was a threat to his life.
Tang San stretched out his right hand, staring at Dai Mubai's blood red evil eyes, spitting out two words: "Victory."
Immediately following was Oscar, his right hand resting on Tang San's. Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong successively made the same action. Asura and Bing Yingxue were no exception. When Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's right hands also overlapped. The seven of them roared almost at the same time.”
From the start of the competition until now, the Shrek Seven Devils had never gone on stage at the same time.=== When they appeared on the competition stage with their complete lineup. The remaining spirit master teams of the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't help freezing their gazes.
Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian stood together. They had all guessed Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and Bing Yingxue's appearance. But Asura and Ning Rongrong had surprised them.
Even though Ning Rongrong had once acted against bandits, the situation was chaotic at that time. Not many people noticed her.
But her appearance was more or less a sign. After all, at that time she had thrown herself into her father's arms, proving that she was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
However, Shura was something that no one could understand. From the start of the All-Big Six Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament until now, he had only appeared once in the competition grounds. At this moment, Fire Dance, Feng Xiaotian, and the others were greatly surprised to see him calmly appear on the competition stage.
Could it be that this person was Shrek Academy's hidden ace? He had been holding back until now.
With Dai Mubai as the leader, the Shrek Seven Devils stood in a straight line, quietly standing on the competition stage.^^^^ Dai Mubai's evil eyes were unprecedentedly solemn, quietly watching the front.
On the other side of the competition stage, another group of seven people slowly went up the stage. When Dai Mubai's gaze saw the person walking furthest in front of the other side. His eyes couldn't help but burst out with two dazzling lights.
Tang San also noticed the opponent, a head of golden hair draped over his back. He had a lazy expression on his face, and his eyes were shining with purple light, but they were not double pupils. His appearance was at least seventy percent similar to Dai Mubai, only his stature was a bit taller than Dai Mubai. Although he was very casual, his smile still revealed the smile of a superior.
Behind him followed a tall young girl, her figure almost as tall as him, extremely voluptuous figure, suet fat white jade like skin, similarly smiling, even still holding the former's arm in this competition arena. This young girl was very beautiful, her resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing was even more than Dai Mubai's.
Only she lacked Zhu Zhuqing's coldness.
He looked very gentle. In this kind of gentleness, the beauty was easier to be recognized. The youth's gaze swept over Dai Mubai's face, indifferently saying: "Mubai, I didn't expect you to really reach the finals. To be able to challenge me face to face, you have actually already succeeded. However, you should understand that your actions will force me to deal you a blow.”
"Davis, stop pretending. When have you ever stopped attacking me? Today on the field, you and I are enemies. If you have the ability, you can defeat me first. Otherwise, it was still uncertain who would inherit the position of the family.”
Dai Weisi looked somewhat surprised at Dai Mubai, Alright, I'd like to see what you've learned after leaving home these few years. How dare you talk to big brother like this? No wonder that little girl Zhuqing is with you. It seems that you are really prepared to fight us to the end?”
His gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Weisi's eyes became a bit more serious, and the young girl beside him looked at each other, an icy cold light simultaneously flashing from the bottom of their eyes.
"Zhuqing, if I remember correctly, you shouldn't even be fifteen years old. To be able to participate in this competition at such a young age and enter the top ten, I don't know if you should say that you're lucky or that you're strong. However, this is the end for you. Actually, Dad and Mom miss you very much, but we can't go against the rules of our ancestors. After the competition, you'd better go back with me.”The voice of the young girl beside Dai Weisi wasn't the same as Zhu Zhuqing's. It didn't have Zhu Zhuqing's iciness, but it had a kind of charm from the heart. The gentle voice very easily made people unconsciously sink into it.
"Zhu Zhuyun, you don't have to put on an act here. If I hadn't left home, I would have died in your hands. Miss me? Is there such kinship in our family?”Zhu Zhuqing's voice became even colder.
To him and Dai Mubai, this couple in front of them was their older self. They had an indelible kinship, but under the pressure of the family, only one of them could survive.
No matter what it was, they had to fight for it with all their might. At the very least, no one wanted their lives to end so easily.
The two sides conversing on the stage didn't deliberately suppress their voices, and the Spirit Masters below the stage had much stronger hearing than ordinary people.
When they heard Zhu Zhuyun say that Zhu Zhuqing wasn't even fifteen years old, even the extremely proud Spirit Masters couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Especially those who had seen Zhu Zhuqing make a move.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Huo Wu's entire person was already lifeless. If one said that she still imagined being able to ride above Shrek Academy after joining forces with Godwind Academy, then, right now she was already in complete despair.
He was four years younger than him, but his strength was not inferior at all. Were these people really monsters?
Thinking of this, she also thought of another problem. All along, she didn't know Tang San's age. Could it be that he was that young?
The referee came to the center of the two teams." Prepare for the match. You can release your martial souls now. The rules of the competition were the same as before. The loser would be eliminated immediately, and the winner would enter the top six. Shrek Advanced Spirit Master Academy team versus Royal Star Luo Advanced Spirit Master Academy. Get ready."
Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, four people's eight gazes fiercely collided in the air.
Dai Weisi's gaze suddenly became domineering, his entire body seemed to stretch out, his broad shoulders, his equally evil face, at this moment appeared unusually handsome," Brothers, release your spirits. Let's give them a surprise." After releasing their spirits, four of them gathered together, and the other three seemed to be defending.
"Hell White Tiger!" The four people shouted at the same time. All the Spirit Masters present were astonished, because this was a spirit fusion ability. He used his spirit fusion ability right off the bat, and if he was blocked, there was no way out. A three meter tall, five meter long white tiger appeared and charged towards Asura and Bing Yingxue.
"Why do they also know this move?" Shura asked. (This means that Shura still doesn't have a martial soul.)）
" Our imitation ability is not just any ordinary strong," Davis said confidently.
Shura thought,'No wonder my fifth trial was to defeat Heaven Dou and them. So…'
"Yingxue," Asura said,"What are you doing?" Bing Yingxue said,"Use your soul fusion skill." Asura said,"Yeah."
The two of them began to gather their strength. At this moment, the Silver-Winged Asura appeared. It was a 7-meter-tall, 10-meter-long Ice-Winged Asura Beast. It broke the opponent's four-person fusion skill in an instant. The entire audience was shocked. The seven opponents were all sent flying. They crashed into the wall and fainted while foaming at the mouth. They had won.
[The fifth trial of the Four Gods has been completed. Reward: 1 wish.(Shura's wish is to have a martial soul contract with Bing Yingxue that reaches N percent.)]
Godwind Academy directly forfeited the next round.
