Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 168: Advancement to the Round Robin

At this point, the competition ended, Tiejianmen was eliminated, and Tangmen entered the third round.

For two consecutive rounds, the Tang Sect did not encounter any strong opponents. As long as they pass the next round, they will enter the round-robin stage.

After the game, everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

"How do you feel?" Lin Chen asked Wang Qiuer.

"Very strong."

"If you play, how many games do you think you can win?"

"It's hard to say. I don't know the strength of some of them."

"If you meet Huo Yuhao, can you win?"

Wang Qiuer was silent. She wasn't sure if she could win, or...

The game is still going on in full swing...

A few days later, the second round of the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition ended. As expected, like Shrek, Tangmen also defeated its opponent and entered the third round of eliminations. Forty-two teams entered the third round. Among them, thirty-two teams can enter the round-robin tournament. This depends on their performance in the third round.

If you win, you will inevitably enter the round robin stage. If you lose, you will still have the opportunity to compete for small points. After the first two rounds of competition, some weaker teams have begun to show signs of fatigue even if they qualify. Injuries, attrition, etc. of team members are all big problems for them.

For the Tang Sect, these problems did not exist.

According to one of the basic entry requirements for this Soul Master Competition, the participating team must have at least five Soul Masters.

After the draw for the third round was over, the atmosphere in the Tang Sect became solemn.

Xu Sanshi kept looking down at his right hand, with some strange expressions appearing on his face from time to time.

Huo Yuhao patted his shoulder and said, “Third Brother, it’s okay. This is not your fault.”

Jiang Nannan said with a dark face: "You knew your hands were smelly but you still insisted on going on stage. Humph!"

Obviously, in the third group, Xu Sanshi drew the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Everyone began to discuss how to deal with the situation.

It is no different from the original work, it is nothing more than giving up the confrontation with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and thus preserving the living combat effectiveness.

……

"What? Tangmen gave up the competition with us?" After hearing the news, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were shocked, and it was almost written on their faces.

Xiao Hongchen murmured, "Does this mean that we beat Shrek? They are the strongest team in Shrek Academy! This time, apart from Lin Chen and the captain, the rest of the Shrek team are just average."

Although they haven't seen each other for a few years, Xiao Hongchen doesn't think Lin Chen is a weakling. He still remembers the trauma of being electrocuted. Meng Hongchen curled his lips and said, "Brother, please don't deceive yourself, okay? You haven't really fought, how can you say we won? Don't you feel embarrassed! However, isn't it a good thing for us that they give up this time? If we really have to fight Tangmen, we will definitely not feel good. The time connection between the elimination matches is very close, which will have a great impact on our final victory."

Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly and said, "Can you let me feel happy first? Win the championship? You are still thinking about winning the championship now? You know that this time..." Having said that, he paused, his eyes full of anger.

Apparently, he didn't like the Holy Spirit Church either.

Meng Hongchen sneered and said, "Why not? Are they sure to win? I don't believe that we can't beat them if we go all out. Brother, you don't even have this little confidence. You've already..."

Xiao Hongchen covered his sister's mouth with his hand, stopping her from saying the second half of her sentence.

Meng Hongchen snorted and said, "Come on, I won't say anything. The reason Tang Sect gave up the game this time is not just because they are afraid of us. Didn't you notice that they don't have any substitutes at all? We are afraid of reducing our strength, but they are actually more afraid, so they gave up the game. If we really meet them this time, we will definitely win. If they admit defeat once, they will never be able to beat us again."

Xiao Hongchen touched his sister's head and said, "I just pray that you don't run into Wang Dong in the game. Do you dare to say that you won't be soft-hearted when you run into him?"

Meng Hongchen's pretty face turned red, and she said angrily, "So what? One game doesn't prove anything. I just like him, so what? Compared to him, all men are scum."

"Oh, why do I have a love-crazy sister like you?" Xiao Hongchen held his forehead helplessly.

Meng Hongchen snorted and said, "At most I'll add the words 'peer'. In my eyes, you are far inferior to him anyway."

Xiao Hongchen said angrily, "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up! I am your brother after all, how can you say that to me!"

……

On the seventh day of the Soul Master Competition, the third round of elimination matches, totaling twenty-one games, were all completed within that day.

The twenty-one winning teams will naturally advance to the next round of group matches, and the remaining eleven teams will be selected from the twenty-one teams that failed in the third round of knockout matches based on their points.

It seemed that Shrek had drawn the Shui Luo Sect, but Lin Chen couldn’t remember it clearly. It had nothing to do with him because in the third round of eliminations, Lin Chen didn’t even need to take action, and Wang Qiuer led the team to easily win the game.

This time their opponents were only four Soul Kings and three Soul Masters. Therefore, in this competition, even Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen also went on stage to have fun, while Lin Chen was just watching the show the whole time.

The third round of the elimination match of the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition was so fierce that it was beyond many people's expectations. In order to gain a place in the round-robin tournament, many matches were fought fiercely. After one round, five people died and more than twenty people were seriously injured. On average, there were casualties in every game. For this reason, many teams also raised objections to the organizing committee of the competition, and strongly questioned the referee's ability to control the game.

The one that danced the most happily was undoubtedly the Holy Spirit Church. The reason for this was naturally that they had contestants who had improved their strength through the method of devouring.

The Sun Moon Empire officials were also troubled by this, so they had no choice but to issue an announcement, promising that in the following games, the referee would control the pace of the game as much as possible to reduce casualties.

As for Shrek, it naturally advanced to the round-robin tournament without any surprise.

Although the Tang Sect admitted defeat in this round, thanks to the feat of Huo Yuhao getting full marks in the first round against seven opponents alone, and the foundation laid in the second round, they successfully advanced with the advantage of small points, but their ranking was relatively low.

After the third round of matches, there will be a day of rest before the round-robin draw ceremony can be held.
