Chapter 278: So cool!

"Xuan Zi, stop putting accusations on others!"

Zhang Peng shouted to save his face.

"You are very clear about my abilities. For this competition, I did use secret techniques to temporarily improve the strength of the sect's disciples, but I used the blood of spirit beasts and never harmed humans. You are accusing me of this now. It's clear that you are taking revenge for your personal gain."

"As for what's going on with those guys in the audience, don't ask me. I don't know either!"

Xuan Zi, you old man, don't think you can put the blame on me just because you speak fast. I can throw it even faster, he thought to himself.

It is better to let his friend die than to let me die. At this time, he could only sacrifice his car to save his master! At the same time, he felt that being an elder was really tiring. If he didn't react quickly, he would be blamed. When he returned, he would be killed by Ye Xishui, that crazy woman!

Long Xiaoyao can at least talk about reason, but Ye Xishui doesn't like to talk about reason!
"Someone, come and capture those people in the audience and interrogate them!" Xu Tianran also reacted quickly and said immediately.

The next second, a powerful pressure swept through the entire venue, and several Holy Spirit Church spies who were rolling in pain in the audience were knocked unconscious on the spot.

Long Xiaoyao took action!
Xuan Zi frowned, but knew that now was not the time to take action, so he snorted coldly and sat down, still being harsh in his words.

"Zhang Peng, you don't want to be a good person, but insist on being a dog for others. I despise you!"

6. Even Long Xiaoyao is being scolded, Minghui thought to himself, while letting go of the bone dragon that had been completely frozen into an ice sculpture.

This time, his destruction was quite subtle!
With a "bang", the huge bone dragon fell to the ground. The ice layer on the surface did not break directly, but only left white marks.

Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat, but in order to prevent Yan Feng from being attacked, he did not dare to ask Minghui to help thaw him, so he had to go on stage himself to rescue him.

When he jumped onto the competition stage, Yan Feng just released his spirit body, leaving a large hole inside the ice sculpture. Yan Feng fell to the bottom and fainted. There were no scars on his body, but his face was pale and looked like he was frozen.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng did not hesitate. He raised his hand and shattered the ice with a palm, then quickly stepped forward to help Yan Feng up.

After a soul power check, it was found that the physical body did not suffer any injuries, it was just because the mental power consumed in activating the martial soul true body was a bit too great.

Zhang Peng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and silently carried Yan Feng off the stage.

Minghui watched him step down. He knew that Yan Feng needed to consume his mental energy to burn in the form of soul fire to activate his martial soul. Excessive consumption would hurt the soul. What he did was to secretly add some firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

In addition to being a soul master, he is also a necromancer!
While thinking, Zhang Peng returned to the rest area and glanced at the team members who were a little depressed, and his face was even gloomier. Although he used the soul guide to create a barrier to block it in time, the team members were still hit by the light and were more or less injured.

The individual elimination rounds are meaningless and might even affect subsequent matches, leading to complete loss of qualification.

According to the round-robin format, they will play against Shrek Academy next.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Zhongli Wu who was sitting in the VIP seat, then looked at the referee and said in a deep voice, "We admit defeat!"

".Soul Hall Team wins!" the referee announced loudly.

"Xiaohui Niu Ben!" Xu Sanshi exclaimed.

"Hehe, the Holy Spirit Sect is getting scared!" Tang Ya said.

"You have to be brave." He Caitou said with a smile, "Xiaohui's sudden attack not only knocked Yanfeng down on the field, but also affected the players sitting in the rest area. If he continues to play, he may not be able to participate in the rest of the games."

"If we lose one more game, we will definitely fall behind Xiaohui and us in points, and there will be no hope of advancing."

"If you give up now, at least there is still hope."

"The premise is that they can defeat us next time!" Wang Dong'er snorted, "But they can't do it!"

"Of course!" Xu Sanshi nodded slightly. He didn't believe Minghui didn't do something to the guy named Yanfeng. They were all brothers, so they had to take care of each other. He was sure that in the next game, Yanfeng, like Jili, would not be able to play again. And without two generals and the strongest fighting force, if they couldn't beat Xiaohui again, they would be sorry for Xiaohui.

"Next game." The referee's voice came again, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy vs. Mingyu Sect."

The reason why the round-robin tournament is called a round-robin tournament is that the key point is to play all the other teams in the group, and then eliminate them according to the points to determine the qualifying places. This process takes more than ten days because the number of matches per day is reduced. As for why the number of matches is reduced, of course it is because the 32 teams left are all strong, and the official wants to make money by opening the market.

Minghui returned to the rest area and continued watching the game.

The result was no surprise, the Mingyu Sect lost.

However, it was not easy for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to win. The two teams dragged on to a team fight. The dark gold three-headed bat formed by the Mingyu Sect almost made Xiao Hongchen and his sister suffer a loss, but fortunately the firepower was strong enough, and Xiao Hongchen and his sister did not even expose Dou Kai. It can only be said that in this competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was well prepared in terms of soul guides, regardless of consumption.

Considered rich, firepower coverage shines into reality.

In addition, the contestant who possesses vampire bats in the Mingyu Sect should, if nothing unexpected happens, be targeted by the Holy Spirit Church just like in the original novel.

Minghui glanced at Wang Dong'er and felt that it was better than the same as in the original book, where he exploded after sucking Wang Dong'er's blood.

The competition ended quickly that day. Although the battle was fierce, there were still some teams that did not reveal their true strength.

For example, in Tianhun Royal Academy, his senior brother Long Aotian has not yet appeared on the stage.

It was night, in a room.

Zhongli Wu looked at the unconscious Yan Feng with an extremely gloomy expression.

After an in-depth investigation, he discovered that his disciple Yan Feng's mental energy was not simply depleted, but his soul was also damaged, as if he had launched a sacrifice. The loss was extremely great and his foundation was damaged. It was unknown whether he could wake up next.

He explained the situation, and Zhang Peng, who was standing next to him, suddenly looked gloomy. He thought it was because he was illuminated by the light at a close distance, and immediately said, "Master, Minghui must be eliminated! His light attribute has too much of an inhibitory effect on the evil spirit!"

There was a chill in Zhongli Wu's eyes and he nodded slightly.

A few days later, Shrek Academy fought against the Holy Spirit Sect, but was defeated due to the absence of Yan Feng and Ji Li.

Among them, Beibei performed particularly well. In the competition, he not only demonstrated Moon's unique skills, but also reproduced Minghui's unique skills, Kanglong Wuhui, and restrained the Holy Spirit Sect player. This made Zhongli Wu and others more convinced that Beibei and Minghui were from the same school and were both descendants of Moon. The other two who were restrained in attributes were Wang Donger and Huo Yuhao, the former was the light attribute, and the latter was the extreme ice.

The team members were either dead or injured, which made Zhang Peng very angry.

Zhongli Wu even directly included these three people in the list of people who must be killed in this plan.

Arthas saw it all but made no comment, and continued to slaughter everyone in the Green Hotel, making money along the way.

At Orange's suggestion, he placed a bet on himself.

He also bet on the Soul Master Competition, mainly betting on the Soul Palace and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. It would be a waste not to make money if there is money to be made!
Of course Minghui also bet on it. The Qingluan family had been secretly doing business with the three major underground chambers of commerce in Mingdu to resell soul guides, so they naturally had channels to enter the Qingse Hotel to watch the elite soul guide competition. Not participating in the competition does not mean that you cannot enter to place bets!
The round-robin tournament lasted just over ten days, but the profit was huge!
Finally, the round-robin tournament ended and the top eight were decided, namely Soul Hall, Shrek Academy, Tianhun Royal Academy, Xingluo Royal Academy, Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, and the two hidden sects, Tianlongmen and Aojianzong.

There are two days of rest after the round-robin matches, but on the first day of the official rest, there is a quarter-final draw ceremony.

Therefore, the next day after the host announced the end of the round-robin tournament, Minghui led his team to the banquet hall on the first floor early.

In just a short while, all eight teams arrived and stood in eight rows. In front, the referee Zheng Zhan sat at the main seat, and several officials sat on both sides. All around, the players of the eliminated teams were basically all there.

Up to now, the official has not required the defeated team to leave the hotel, but generously stated that they can continue to stay in the hotel if they want to watch the game.

As for those who have already left, Minghui didn't even need to think about it, as they must have been intercepted and captured by the Sun and Moon Empire outside Mingdu.

Seeing the team had arrived, one of the officials stood up and gave a speech with a smile on his face. He spoke politely for a quarter of an hour before getting to the point.

As the champion of the previous session, Shrek Academy was the first to go on stage to draw lots, and the first half was drawn, and the result was the upper half. Minghui saw that there was no shady deal in this draw ceremony, and the boxes for drawing lots were transparent, so everyone could see it. It is not ruled out that there was shady dealings in the previous round-robin tournament, which had caused dissatisfaction among many teams, so they deliberately restrained themselves this time.

After a while, the first draw ended.

In the upper half, there are Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Xing Luo Royal Academy, and Proud Sword Sect.

The lower half includes the Soul Hall, Mingdu Soul Instructor College, Tianlongmen, and Tianhun Royal College.

"Now we will draw lots for the quarterfinals. Please invite Shrek Academy to come on stage and draw lots first!" The official announced the start of the second round of drawing lots. This round was to draw the opponents.

Because the rules state that teams drawn into the same group for the round-robin tournament will be invalid, Beibei went on stage with a relaxed look on his face.

Just pull it out casually.

When he opened it, he saw Xingluo Royal Academy. The official in charge took it and announced the result immediately.

Xu Jiujiu, who was standing at the front of the line, had a visibly stiff expression on his face.

Everyone at Shrek Academy smiled. They were sure to make it to the top four by beating Xingluo Royal Academy!

After a while, Minghui came on stage and started drawing. When he opened the box, he saw Mingdu Soul Instructor College. A smile immediately appeared on his lips.

Good smoke!

Wang Qiuer just needs Xu Tianzhen's martial soul to further strengthen herself!
"Brother is indeed a man of good fortune!" Minghui thought to himself, and handed the card to the official.

The latter took it and looked down, his face obviously darkened, and then he announced the result of the draw with a slightly stiff expression.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tianzhen was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised his neck and challenged Minghui.

The draw continues and all the results will be out soon.

They are Shrek Academy versus Xingluo Royal Academy, Soul Palace versus Mingdu Soul Guidance Academy, Tianhun Royal Academy versus Tianlongmen, and Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy versus Aojian Sect.

".The draw is complete!" the official said loudly, "The quarterfinals will be held the day after tomorrow. The upper half will compete in the morning and the lower half will compete in the afternoon. All participating teams are requested to prepare well. I wish you all a satisfactory harvest!"

After the incident, the officials left.

Xu Tianzhen put his hands on his hips, looked at Minghui proudly, and said loudly, "Minghui, watch me knock out your teeth the day after tomorrow!"

She wants to avenge Arthas' defeat!

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Minghui, who knew Xu Tianzhen's character well, smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Let's wait and see!"

"Hmph!" Xu Tianzhen snorted, turned around and raised his hand, "Let's go!"

He led the team out of the hotel in a swagger.

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen said nothing. They just glanced at Minghui and led the team to follow.

"You are so brave, girl!" Xu Sanshi spoke as he walked towards Minghui with his teammates.

Xu Jiujiu and Vina each led their teams towards Minghui.

Xu Jiujiu spoke first, looking sad, "I never thought that I would run into you, Shrek Academy, in the quarterfinals."

"This is a bad deal for us."

Xu Sanshi replied in one second, "If we draw Xiaohui's team, wouldn't that be a very bad draw?"

"Anyway, we have no confidence in winning!"

Xu Jiujiu was not angry, but smiled and shook his head, "Anyway, with a group of great geniuses like you here, it is impossible for our Xingluo Empire to win the championship in this Soul Master Competition. My only hope is that you can keep the championship in the original three empires."

"Of course!" Wang Dong'er raised her chin slightly, full of confidence.

Xu Jiujiu just smiled at this.

Standing next to Princess Vina, Long Aotian, who was looking at Minghui, said, "Minghui, I look forward to fighting in the semi-finals."

Minghui smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

"Who is this gentleman?" Xu Sanshi looked at Long Aotian.

Princess Vina immediately introduced with a smile, "Let me introduce to you all, this is Long Aotian, my fiancé."

Xu Sanshi was immediately startled and immediately bowed, "Excuse me!"

Wang Dong'er also looked at the sturdy man and asked in confusion, "Long Aotian, why haven't I seen you on the scene before?"

"Because it's not needed." Long Aotian's face and tone were calm, but full of confidence.

"Brother Aotian does have this ability." Minghui said with a smile.

“I can testify to this!” Huo Yuhao followed closely. He had not yet told Wang Donger the specific situation of the sect.

Wang Dong'er's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. She also had a guess in her mind that this person should be from the Body Sect and be very powerful. Judging from his age, he should be the senior brother of Minghui and Huo Yuhao. Thinking of this, her eyes softened a lot when she looked at this pretentious person.

After all, she is Yuhao's master, so she has to be polite and not lose her manners.

"It seems that among our four teams, our Xingluo Royal Academy is the weakest." Xu Jiujiu teased with a smile.

"Princess Jiujiu, there is no need to favor one over the other. We all know the capabilities of the Star Crown Martial Spirit." Long Aotian said with a smile.

"It's because everyone knows it that I'm worried." Xu Jiujiu sighed.

"Try your best and have no regrets." Minghui said succinctly.

"Brother Minghui is right." Xu Jiujiu nodded.

Everyone went upstairs while chatting, and then went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for the battle.

Not long after, on the other side, Xu Tianzhen led the team and followed Xiao Hongchen and his sister into the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

At the same time, in Shrek Academy, inner courtyard.

After trying to meet Moon many times without success, Jing Hongchen finally became suspicious. He suspected that Moon was not in Shrek Academy, but had followed the participating team to the Sun-Moon Empire.

The intervention of a level 99 peerless Douluo is enough to affect the entire subsequent plan.

He is anxious!
