Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 329 Pre-match Preparations
Logically, with only one slip left in the lottery box, and everyone knowing what slip was in the box, the result could be decided directly without drawing any slips.

However, for the sake of fairness in the competition, this last draw must be performed.

This is to prevent duplicate lot from appearing in the lottery box, such as a third "lottery number one" or a third "lottery number two".

The same applies to the lottery box in front of the emcee.

In front of everyone, the emcee drew the last lot from the team lottery box. The four large characters "Eat and Drink Team" written on the lot proved that there was nothing wrong with the lot in the lottery box.

Without the emcee giving any instructions, Yi Shuihan, the representative of the Eating and Drinking Team, had already walked up to the lot-drawing box and casually drew the last lot from it.

No, the slip in Yi Shuihan's hand was completely blank, with nothing written on it. This was a no-show slip!

Everyone stared intently at the bye ticket in Yi Shuihan's hand. Even though they already knew the result, they still felt uneasy when they saw the bye ticket being drawn.

"What kind of luck is this?!"

"May you eat better in your next life!"

……

The lottery ceremony has ended.

The schedule for the third round of the knockout stage of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has been finalized.

Of the eleven teams, the Eat & Drink team received a bye and advanced to the next round.

The remaining five matches will be played over two days, with three matches on the first day and two matches on the second day.

Match 1: Heavenly Dou Royal Team 2 vs. Sea God Team
Match 2: Spirit Hall Seed Team VS Holy Light Team
Match 3: Four Elements Academy's Wind and Fire Team vs. Body Sect Team

Match 4: Heavenly Dou Royal Seed Team VS Star Crown Sect Seed Team
Match 5: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Seed Team VS Void Nether Team
The results of the draw quickly spread after the representatives of the various teams left.

The hotel, the residence of the Holy Light Team.

"What should we do, Brother Yan?"

Wang Shiyu looked dejected, leaning back on the sofa and listlessly saying:

"I was drawn against the Spirit Hall, and I'm even in the second match, tomorrow's game."

"Plans can't keep up with changes. There's too little time. I need at least five more days to break through to the Soul Saint level."

The Spirit Hall's seeded team displayed its overwhelming strength to everyone in the Soul Arena during the second round of the knockout stage.

Three Soul Emperors and four Soul Kings, and they are high-level Soul Emperors and high-level Soul Kings.

If the Spirit Hall's seed team only had this much strength, Wang Shiyu wouldn't be so frustrated.

However, the existence of the Demon Charm Martial Soul Fusion Skill is something that any Soul Master who has been in the Soul Master world for a while has heard of, and the Spirit Hall has never deliberately concealed Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Souls.

Therefore, the Demonic Charm Martial Soul Fusion Skill is like the Netherworld White Tiger of the Star Luo Royal Academy—a prestigious skill.

The difference is that the Star Luo Royal Academy has the Netherworld White Tiger in every competition, while the Spirit Hall only has the Demon Spirit in this competition.

The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall are all in their early twenties. It goes without saying that high-level Soul Emperors of this age are inheritors of divine power.

Divine successor VS Divine successor, three against two.

The only hope Wang Shiyu saw for winning was to break through to the Soul Saint realm before tomorrow's competition began, but that was virtually impossible...

"Shiyu, do you really want to win that badly?"

Yan Mo sat down next to Wang Shiyu, took her hand, and solemnly said:

“If you really want to win that much, then we can do that thing ahead of time.” “This…this isn’t a good idea…”

Wang Shiyu knew exactly what Yan Mo was referring to, and her face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple, making one's mouth water.

But then she thought back to the twenty-two soul bones that had been displayed on the day the elimination rounds began, especially the right arm bone of the Radiant Unicorn among the three 100,000-year soul bones.

Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo, one has the Martial Soul of the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the other has the Martial Soul of the Phoenix of Light. The Martial Soul Bone of the Light attribute is most suitable for them.

Moreover, neither of them absorbed the right arm soul bone. That 100,000-year-old Bright Unicorn right arm bone would be of great benefit to either of them, no matter who absorbed it.

Hesitation wasn't in Wang Shiyu's nature, so tempted by the right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old luminous unicorn, she quickly made up her mind and said:

"Brother Yan, then let's... let's do that thing!"

……

Qibao Chamber of Commerce, top floor.

Lin Rong looked at the schedule in her hand.

Of the three teams he still had, the Wind and Fire Team of the Four Elements Academy had the most formidable opponent.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Seed Team's opponent is the Star Crown Sect.

The Star Crown Sect seed team has neither a divine inheritor nor a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint, posing absolutely no threat to the Heaven Dou Royal seed team, which has Soul Emperors and Soul Saints.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's seeded team will face the Void Battle Team.

The Space Inheritor + Dark Inheritor, plus a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, make them far more troublesome than the Star Crown Sect, but still only troublesome; they are no match for Yun Hui.

As a Soul Saint who embodies the dual divine inheritances of good and evil, Yun Hui's strength is undoubtedly the undisputed number one among all the participants in the competition.

With the attribute boosts from Ning Rongrong and Oscar, two support-type god inheritors, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two Soul Emperors is really not enough. It would be more impressive if it were the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Sea God Team, and the other two Martial Soul Fusionists were also god inheritors with Soul Emperor cultivation.

The Four Elements Academy's Wind and Fire Team's opponent is the Body Sect.

The Body Sect's seed team consists of three Soul Emperors and four Soul Kings.

The Wind and Fire Team consists of one Soul Saint and six Soul Kings.

Judging from the stats of the two teams alone, they should be evenly matched.

Therefore, it will be very difficult for the Wind and Fire team to win the game without revealing their ultimate trump card.

The Body Sect's Body Martial Soul, at its lowest grade, is a mid-level Martial Soul. Those who can cultivate their Body Martial Soul to the level of Soul King or above are at least high-level Martial Souls, and this is without the Body Martial Soul undergoing a second awakening.

The seven members of the Body Sect's seed team were selected for the first team, and their second awakening of their martial souls is beyond doubt. They are definitely a standard configuration for the team.

Regardless of the level of the second awakening of the original martial soul, the martial soul grade is always top-tier.

Therefore, the seven main members of the Body Sect's seed team are definitely stronger than everyone in the Wind and Fire Team except for Feng Xiaotian in terms of individual strength.

"This is a bit tricky!"

After much deliberation, Lin Rong concluded that the only way for the Wind and Fire Team to win against the Body Sect without revealing their ultimate trump card was to rely on external forces.

Blood Slayer, captain of the Body Sect's seed team, possesses a Blood Martial Soul and the inheritance of the Asura God.

If Feng Xiaotian wants to influence the competition, he needs to control Xue Shi, which requires a divine weapon powerful enough to rival the Shura Sword.

The Wind God's artifact, Eye of the Storm, is definitely no match for the Asura Sword. Therefore, he needs to provide Feng Xiaotian with an artifact that can rival the Asura Sword.
