Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 157 Xingluo National Academy
Under the watchful eyes of the four Titled Douluo, the four captains came in front of Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei smiled slightly and said:
"It's great to meet you young talents. The competition is about to begin. I hope you can complete this competition with friendship first and competition second. I will throw out four balls with lottery numbers written on them. You should grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"

The captains nodded one after another.

"Then pay attention."

Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes, and then, before anyone could see how he made his move, four balls of golden light rose into the air at the same time.

Dai Yueheng had been ready for a long time. He and Xu Jiawei had the closest relationship. If he could please Xu Jiawei, his possibility of inheriting the position of Duke of White Tiger would greatly increase. Now that he had the opportunity to perform in front of Xu Jiawei, he would naturally be the one who worked the hardest.

A white light suddenly appeared, and when Dai Yaoheng landed on the ground, a small golden ball appeared in his hand.

Ma Rulong and Jiang Peng were not willing to fall behind, and grabbed the ball thrown by Xu Jiawei in the second and third place respectively.

Only Xu Jiujiu stood there motionless, watching the scene with a smile. After everyone landed, she reached out her hand and caught the last golden ball.

She was appearing as a surprise weapon for Xingluo National Academy. The less information revealed before the game started, the better. Naturally, she would not get involved in a competition that was more of a show than a practical one.

A faint smile appeared on the pretty face of the princess. She glanced at the ball in her hand. Although she was the last to succeed, she was the first to report the result.

"I'm number one."

Ma Rulong said in a deep voice:

"Number two."

Dai Yuheng's gaze fell directly on Xu Jiujiu.

"Number one."

At this point, although the Di Ao Academy has not yet announced the numbers, the draw results have come out. Shrek Academy, which is also number one, will play against Xing Luo National Academy today, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will naturally face Di Ao Academy.

After the Star Luo Emperor personally checked the lottery numbers, he announced the results to the people. When the people of the Star Luo Empire heard that their team was going to face Shrek Academy, bursts of exclamations rang out from the crowd.

On the surface, Dai Yuheng had drawn a good lot for Shrek. After all, based on yesterday's analysis, Xingluo Royal Academy was the weakest of the remaining three teams.

But is this really the case? Looking at Wang Yan's solemn face, Tang Wulin had an ominous premonition in his heart.

After Dai Yuheng returned to the contestant seat, Wang Yan was the first to greet him.

"Yueheng, do you know anything about Princess Jiujiu?"

Dai Yuheng shook his head.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I don't know. My father only talked to me about the current emperor's cultivation talent. He only used one word, which was "bottomless". He didn't have any comments on Princess Jiujiu."

Without waiting for Wang Yan to continue asking, he continued:

"And I just observed her carefully. She is not simple. I can't see through her at all. I originally hoped to roughly infer her cultivation level through her physical fitness during the draw, but she didn't even move, nor did she activate her soul power, so I had no way to observe. Yutong, how about you try to detect her with your spirit?"

Huo Yutong shook his head regretfully. "I tried it, but it didn't work. This princess must be carrying something special. When I probed her with my spiritual power, something on her body blocked my detection, so I couldn't feel her spirit power and predict her actions."

At this time, everyone gathered around. The semi-finals were about to begin, but the opponent suddenly showed unknown variables. This was definitely not a good thing for their Shrek team, which was not composed of all the regular players.

Wang Yan's expression became more and more solemn, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Everything should be done according to the original plan. Don't panic. Princess Jiujiu may not have the cultivation of Soul Emperor. As long as she is still Soul King, we still have a good chance of winning. Get ready to go on the field. This team battle cannot afford to lose. I have a hunch that Xingluo National Academy must have something unique in the 223 tactics. If we lose the team battle, I'm afraid the game will deviate from the track we control. Yaoheng, remember to tell them about the characteristics of the Star Crown Martial Spirit. You should know it as well as I do."

The competition rules of the semi-finals and finals follow the rules of the previous knockout rounds, which are also divided into two days, with team battles and individual knockout rounds.

The difference is that you must win both games to qualify. If both teams win one game each, then you must use a two-, two-, or three-game extra game.

If Shrek loses the team battle, they will have to win two consecutive games. But if Wang Yan's premonition is correct, Xingluo National Academy will be extremely strong in the 223 battlefield, and Shrek will most likely stop in the top four.

This is undoubtedly something that no one wants to see.

Dai Yueheng nodded.

"Don't worry, teacher. This competition is so difficult because our team was too careless. So I will try my best to bring victory to the academy, no matter what the cost."

Wang Yan smiled.

"It's good that you have this intention, but safety should still be the priority. You are just children after all. Come on, come on."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and everyone in Shrek put their hands on it one by one, and shouted "We will win" together, with high morale.

Compared with the heated atmosphere at Shrek Academy, the Xingluo National Academy seemed much calmer, and the players who were about to play came out one after another.

Xu Jiujiu stood at the very front. She glanced at Shrek Academy calmly with a playful look in her eyes.

As the trump card that has been hidden by Xingluo National Academy until now, she was very curious about what Shrek was thinking now.

The Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu that Xu Jiawei mentioned earlier stood up and shouted:

"Shrek Academy, Xingluo National Academy, team members are on the field."

Xu Jiawei has returned to the Imperial City under the protection of the other three Titled Douluo and climbed to the top of the city to watch the battle.

Members of both teams stepped onto the competition stage at the referee's call. Before the semi-final began, a strong smell of tension was already in the air as the players from both teams stared at each other.

Huang Jinxu said coldly:
"Both sides retreat. No one is allowed to release their martial spirits before I announce the start of the game."

Players from both teams retreated at the same time, but their eyes were always on each other. During the retreat, the formation changed rapidly.
