Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 355 Lottery Number Three

As one of Lin Rong's divine inheritors, Shui Bing'er naturally knew that her master wanted to seize the throne of the Heavenly Dou Emperor.

Therefore, shortly after the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, the Heaven Dou Empire will face unprecedented turmoil, and the imperial throne will change hands.

"My subordinate understands."

After saying that, Shui Bing'er noticed that it was almost time to have afternoon tea with Wang Shiyu, so she left ahead of everyone else.

Not long after Shui Bing'er left, Yun Hui walked in from outside the door.

"Young Master, the Spirit Hall has stopped their attack."

"That's normal. They've already lost the match. If this continues, wouldn't the Spirit Hall be doing all the work for someone else?"

This news was within Lin Rong's expectations, so she was not surprised.

The Eating and Drinking Team lacked a strong background, and their strength was unpredictable. Coincidentally, the team members, who never ate out, did. In order to win the championship, the Spirit Hall devised a plan to poison their food.

However, this was based on the premise that the Spirit Hall's seeded team defeated the Four Elements Academy to advance to the top three of the competition. Now that they have lost the match, there is naturally no need to continue.

However, after a day and a half's worth of medicine, and with the Spirit Hall unlikely to provide an antidote, the four main team members—four of whom are inheritors of divine artifacts and thus safe from major problems—would be in serious trouble. But the remaining three main team members who are not inheritors of divine artifacts would be in grave danger.

The dosage was insufficient; it wouldn't be fatal, but it would definitely take at least ten days to two weeks to recover. Fortunately, unlike the Poseidon team, the Eat and Drink team didn't only report seven main players when they submitted their application. With substitute players, they wouldn't end up like the Poseidon team, who couldn't gather seven players to participate in the competition and thus lost their qualification.

Tomorrow will come in the blink of an eye.

The draw ceremony for the fifth round of the elimination tournament in the Battle Arena began at dawn.

The fifth round of the competition was no longer a seven-on-seven team match, but a one-on-one match similar to a title defense.

The three teams that advanced to the fifth round of the three-stage competition took turns sending their team members to compete. The winners stayed in the arena to face the next match until all seven members of any two of the three teams were defeated. The remaining team then advanced to the finals.

The two losing teams will compete in a seven-on-seven team revival match, with the winner advancing to the finals to compete against the individual winner for the overall championship.

The order in which the three teams will appear will be determined by today's draw.

There are specific rules regarding the seating arrangement.

The first draw goes first, followed by the second, and the third draw goes last.

For example, among the three teams, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seed team drew the number one draw, the Four Elements Academy Wind and Fire team drew the number two draw, and the Eat and Drink team drew the number three draw.

Therefore, the first person to step onto the arena to defend the title was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while the person challenging the title holder was the Four Elements Academy.

Whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School successfully defends its title or the Four Elements Academy succeeds in its challenge, the next challenger will be the Eating and Drinking Team.

Similarly, regardless of whether the Eating and Drinking Team succeeds in the challenge, the next challenger will once again be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If, when it is the team's turn, the defender and the challenger are from the same team, the team can choose to replace the player, and the player who is replaced retains the right to continue the competition.

Of course, one can also choose not to change and continue to defend the title. If the strength is strong enough to suppress a generation, then it is not impossible for the first person to appear to wipe out the other two teams by himself. The premise is that not only is there a gap in strength, but the Soul Master's own endurance must also be able to keep up to achieve this.

With the fifth round format as it is, the best of the three draws is naturally the third draw, which is the last to appear in each round to challenge the reigning champion.

Appearing last means you can reap the benefits. If you draw the third pick and the teams are evenly matched, winning the individual competition is practically a done deal.

"Number three, hopefully luck will be on our side this time." Because of the food poisoning incident, Yi Shuihan was not in a good mood, but now, perhaps because he remembered that there was a lucky chubby baby in the team who always managed to draw the best lot, a forced smile finally appeared on his face.

Although the Eating and Drinking Team has four inheritors of divine powers, the third draw is still extremely important to them.

In the event that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Four Elements Academy join forces to target their Eating and Drinking Team, having the No. 3 lottery ticket in hand would provide some additional protection.

Moreover, the probability of this is quite high, especially when he takes out more than one divine weapon.

It turns out that the more important the moment, the more extraordinary the luck of the lucky person.

The first team representative to draw lots was the Eating and Drinking Team, and Yi Shuihan successfully drew the best lot number three from the three available slots in the lottery box.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong and Feng Xiaotian exchanged a silent glance; the thing they least wanted to happen had still happened.

But their luck is undeniable, so there's no point in being envious.

Without the third pick, and having already joined forces, the first and second picks made no difference to them.

In the end, the Four Elements Academy drew the first lot in the second draw, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School drew the second lot in the last draw.

The fact that the three draw positions were different proves that the lottery ceremony was fair and just.

After the draw, it was time to discuss tactical arrangements.

……

Another day has passed in a flash.

On a clear, sunny morning, the fifth round of the knockout stage began.

As the competition reached the stage of a three-way battle for supremacy, the threshold for spectators suddenly increased significantly, resulting in the Battle Arena, which had been packed since the start of the competition, being mostly empty.

Yi Shuihan's expression remained unpleasant.

The fewer the spectators, the higher their status and position, the greater the possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation and illegal operations, because the higher the status and position, the more aligned their interests.

The competition started quickly. This time, there was no referee to announce the start of the competition. Instead, the competition committee notified the team that drew the first draw to send out the first player when the time came.

Below the arena, the three teams are arranged in a triangular formation.

Four Elements Academy Area.

The Wind and Fire team drew the first draw, while the second draw was their own player. Therefore, one player from each of their two teams will be disqualified in the first round.

They had already discussed detailed tactical arrangements yesterday, and the specific implementation would be adjusted according to the real-time situation.

According to the tactical arrangement, the Wind and Fire team was to be used as cannon fodder in the first round, so they sent out the weakest member of the team, a Soul King from the Blazing Fire Academy.

After this person appeared, it was the turn of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which drew the second lot, to send out a challenger.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Hui slowly rose to his feet. As soon as he stepped onto the arena, the Soul King of Blazing Fire Academy shouted:
"I surrender!"
