Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 342: Quarterfinals Begins (3k)

"First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone here for making it to the quarterfinals of this competition. As everyone knows, this is the first time that sects have been invited to participate in this competition, so the competitiveness is much greater than in previous competitions..."

The host's voice echoed in the hall, making the eight captains feel drowsy.

They are the top eight teams in this competition, and they are here to draw lots to determine the next stage of the competition.

Just yesterday, the last round-robin match ended, and the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition has also reached its final stage.

Among the qualified teams, the top ranked ones are Shrek Academy, Snow Demon Sect, Holy Spirit Sect and Tianlong Sect.

The reason why the Tang Sect was not included was because when they met Shrek Academy, they decisively chose to admit defeat, thus breaking the record of undefeated teams.

The remaining four teams are Tang Sect, Ao Jian Sect, Xing Luo National Academy and Ming Du Soul Instructor Academy.

Poor Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, because it was placed in the same group with Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, in the end it didn't even make it to the quarterfinals. It was defeated repeatedly by these two teams and stopped in the round-robin tournament.

At this time, several captains felt very complicated when looking at Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong who were representing Tang Sect and Shrek Academy to participate in the draw.

The performance of these two players in the round-robin tournament can only be described as exaggerated. They did not suffer any injury during the entire process. Until now, no one knows where their limits are.

When they thought about facing these two monsters in the quarterfinals, they felt extremely heavy in their hearts.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, who were being watched by them, were communicating secretly in their hearts.

"Yutong, what is the cultivation level of the captain of the Holy Spirit Team?"

The person who came this time to represent the Holy Spirit Sect was a thin young man. If Tang Wulin remembered correctly, his name was Yan Feng.

Just by standing there, a cold aura emanated from him, causing Mu Xue and the captain of Xing Luo National Academy who were standing beside him to frown.

But they didn't dare to say anything. Both of them had a certain understanding of the existence of the Holy Spirit Church, and they were very wary of Yan Feng.

Huo Yutong replied:

"Soul Saint."

"understood."

Hearing this answer, Tang Wulin immediately made up his mind.

"Yutong, no matter which of us encounters the Holy Spirit Church, we must not hold back and kill as many as we can."

"clear."

Back then, a Soul King-level Death Messenger had killed thousands of people. Tang Wulin didn't want to think about how many people a Soul Sage-level evil soul master had harmed.

This has nothing to do with whether or not to compete. If these people let any one of them escape, it would be disrespecting the lives of ordinary people.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, when are we going to participate in the underground competition again?"

Since they left last time, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong have never participated in the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition again.

The main reason is that the evil soul masters at the Extreme Douluo level are too frightening, and they cannot take risks before they are fully prepared.

After a few days of buffer period, not only did the reinforcements from Shrek Academy and the Body Sect arrive, but more importantly, Huo Yutong created an exclusive summoning magic with the help of Alex.

According to Huo Yutong, if she originally wanted to summon the two dragon kings, she would have to recite at least five sections of the spell to open the undead demiplane.

But now it’s different. As long as she wants, she only needs to chant a short spell to summon the dragon bones of the two dragon kings.

Of course there are disadvantages. It is said that the soul power and mental power consumed by this summoning magic are ten times that of normal summoning. But considering the benefits it brings, Tang Wulin thinks it is worth it.

With two Extreme Douluo-level thugs as backup, plus a level 98 bodyguard like Xuanzi guarding in secret, they finally dared to face the people from the Holy Spirit Church with confidence.

After thinking for a while, Huo Yutong said:

"Wait two more days, until the finals."

We have to create an illusion for the Holy Spirit Church that they tried their best to resist the ban, but failed in the end.

In order to achieve this goal, they cannot be too impatient. The longer they stay hidden, the higher their value will be in the eyes of the Holy Spirit Church.

This will have many benefits for their subsequent actions.

Just then, the host on the podium finally finished his standard remarks and started to get to the point.

"We are about to conduct the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals. This draw will not only determine your next opponent, but also the range of your subsequent matches. I believe it will be of some help in your preparations for the competition. The rules are as follows."

"We will first invite the four teams that rank first in each group to come up on stage and draw lots to be divided into the upper and lower halves. Then the teams that rank first in each group will draw a team that ranks second in the group, with the only rule being not to draw teams that were in the same group in the round-robin tournament. The teams that are drawn will be the opponents for the quarterfinals. After the grouping is completed, the two teams that win the quarterfinals in the upper and lower halves will play in the semifinals, and the winner will play in the final."

After listening to the host's explanation of the rules, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.

According to this rule, they may still meet each other in the semi-finals.

But there is nothing they can do about it. If this is a sign that the Sun-Moon Empire is preparing to operate behind the scenes, then no matter how much they complain, it will be useless. And if they just encounter it because of luck, they can only blame their bad luck.

Then the captains began to draw lots, and first divided the teams into half zones.

The first team to be drawn was Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek Academy was the champion of the previous session and a legendary strong team in the competition.

At this time, no matter how much the Sun-Moon Empire dislikes Shrek Academy, it still has to give it face.

The person who came up to draw the lots was naturally Huo Yutong. Her expression was very calm, without any sign of nervousness.

"Shrek Academy, lower half."

The next to come up to draw lots was the powerful and mysterious Holy Spirit Sect. "Holy Spirit Sect, top half."

The next person to come on stage after Yan Feng was Mu Xue, who came to draw lots on behalf of the Snow Demon Sect.

As soon as she saw the result of her draw, her expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Snow Demon Sect, upper half."

She was actually in the same division as the Holy Spirit Church, which meant that the Body Sect might clash with the Holy Spirit Church in the next match. No wonder her expression was so painful.

Finally, the captain of Tianlongmen shrugged.

"I don't need to go on stage anymore, right?"

The host nodded and announced directly:
"Tianlongmen, lower half."

"The draw for the quarterfinals will begin, with Shrek Academy making the first draw."

Huo Yutong drew the numbers casually, and after seeing the result, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in amusement.

Seeing her expression, the captains of all the teams felt nervous. None of them wanted to face Shrek Academy in the quarterfinals, which would be no different from being eliminated directly.

Huo Yutong handed the signature to the host, who took a look and felt a little helpless.

"The opponent of Shrek Academy in the quarterfinals is Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy."

Tang Wulin blinked and immediately understood what Huo Yutong's reaction just now meant.

In the quarterfinals of the last competition, Shrek Academy also faced Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy.

Last time, Shrek won in a nearly crushing manner, and it seems that this time will be the same.

The captain of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy couldn't help but let out a helpless smile.

Objectively speaking, this is a really bad draw for them.

But then again, with the strength of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, it would probably be difficult for them to win no matter who they drew.

From this perspective, getting into Shrek Academy can be considered a relief in a sense?
She tilted her head, thinking optimistically.

As Shrek Academy finished drawing its opponents, the next one was the Holy Spirit Sect.

Seeing Yan Feng come on stage again, everyone's attention was focused on him.

Except for Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, probably no one at the scene wants to face this team composed entirely of evil soul masters.

Like Huo Yutong, Yan Feng did not show any sign of uneasiness on his face. He casually drew a lot and handed it to the host without even looking at it.

"The Holy Spirit Sect's opponent is Xingluo National Academy."

Suddenly, many people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, they don’t have to face the Holy Spirit Sect for the time being.

The captain of Xingluo National Academy was different from them. His face looked extremely bad at this moment.

Originally they came for the championship, but they didn't expect to meet such an opponent in the first game of the quarterfinals.

Now, let alone winning the championship, they probably won’t even make it to the semi-finals.

On the contrary, Tang Wulin looked a little depressed.

He felt very sorry that he couldn't directly eliminate these evil soul masters in the quarterfinals.

The next person to come on stage was Tianlongmen. Unlike the two captains who drew lots before him, his expression was very solemn.

The reason is simple: Tangmen has not been picked yet.

In other words, with this draw, there is a 50% chance that Tianlongmen will be eliminated in the quarterfinals.

How could he not be nervous?

Fortunately, luck was on his side.

"Tianlongmen's opponent is Aojianzong."

Hearing the host's announcement, the captain of Tianlongmen wiped his sweat and his expression became noticeably better.

This result is much better than facing the Tang Sect.

At this point, six teams have already decided on their opponents, so there is naturally no need to say more about the remaining two teams.

Tang Wulin and Mu Xue met each other's eyes, and then smiled at her.

He believed that the real captain of the Body Sect would be very happy after learning this result.

The Tang Clan will eventually face off against the Body Sect. After two years, Tang Wulin will soon fight against Long Aotian again. That battle maniac must have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Judging from the last battle scene between Long Aotian and Huo Yutong, he should not disappoint Tang Wulin.
