Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 158 Yunluo College
The knockout round is over, and the second round of round-robin matches will follow.

Although the round-robin tournament is not as intense as the knockout tournament, it has its own advantages, namely, rich and different competition rules.

The three game modes of one-on-one, two-two-three, and team battle are determined by drawing lots, and each game has different highlights.

The round-robin tournament is the best stage to showcase every student. Countless soul masters became famous on the mainland on this stage.

After the first round of elimination, the remaining college teams will be stronger. The competition will naturally be exciting.

This has resulted in a situation where tickets are hard to come by at Xingluo Plaza, which can accommodate more than 200,000 people, and the area around Xingluo Plaza is jam-packed with traffic every day.

The Xing Luo Empire's royal family was naturally grinning from ear to ear in the face of such a situation, and they dispatched another 5,000 elite soldiers into the city to maintain order.

At the same time, they also started selling battle reports in an official way. There would be new battle reports every day, and the price was only a few copper coins, but there were so many people buying them! There were detailed battle reports for sale for every game, which was another source of income.

However, the Xingluo Empire has also done a good job in preparing for each academy.

Even for those colleges that were eliminated, the round-trip travel expenses and accommodation costs were all covered by the Xing Luo Empire, and a certain amount of subsidies were also given.

The injured were treated and the dead were compensated, and combined with the large number of spectators and good order of this competition, the competition won praise from almost all participating colleges in just three days.

It can be said that you have gained both benefits and face.

Today is the fourth day of the competition.

Early in the morning, the shouts of the audience were already echoing in Xingluo Square.

There is only one reason. Today, the Shrek Academy team that they most want to see will appear again.

And it will appear in the first game.

Even the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, who only came to the city wall to watch the battle occasionally, climbed up to the top of the imperial city early in the morning and waited, giving Shrek Academy great face.

The weather today is not very good, it is gloomy and a bit depressing, like the prelude to a storm.

The start of the round robin also means the opening of the players’ rest area.

Today is only the first round of the round-robin tournament, and four of the eight participating teams will appear.

However, all sixty-seven teams that qualified from the knockout rounds sat in the rest area without exception.

They came to watch the game because every team that made it to the round-robin stage was extremely strong and they needed to know more about their opponents.

Of course, they wanted to see what kind of sparks would be created between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

After three days of fermentation, the two academies have been openly competing with each other. No one doubts the strength of Shrek's soul masters, nor does anyone doubt the strength of the soul masters of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

They were more curious about the competition between Shrek's soul masters and the soul masters of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Both sides wanted to attack the opponent in the field where the other side excels. With Xingluo's publicity, it naturally attracted countless people's attention.

But before that, Shrek was Shrek, the Shrek of ten thousand years of glory.

Almost every college involuntarily regards it as a goal, but they all deeply respect it.

When the dark green competition uniforms appeared at the entrance of the participating academies, the entire Xingluo Plaza was in an uproar.

Starting from the direction closest to the entrance, the voices shouting Shrek.

Zhou Sichen, with a warm smile on his face, slowly entered the venue with a total of 14 Shrek regulars and preliminaries.

The rest area of ​​Shrek Academy is located at the northernmost end, closest to the imperial city wall, and has the largest area.

There are a total of twenty comfortable sofas in the entire area, and there are dedicated waiters to serve.

On the table next to them, there is a full supply of food, fruits, and drinks. The treatment here is totally unmatched by other colleges.

The rest areas of other colleges are much smaller, with only seven seats in the rest area, which are only provided to the starting players. Their reserve teams or substitutes can only stand at the back and watch.

But no one was dissatisfied with this differential treatment, because it was a privilege unique to Shrek.

If they want this special treatment, they must defeat Shrek Academy, but this is a task as difficult as climbing to the sky!

At this time, the host was already in the warm-up area. He first announced the list of colleges that had passed the first round of competition, and then began to introduce the grouping situation.

The group that Shrek Academy is in has a total of eight college teams.

Among them, Shrek Academy is naturally the biggest favorite. Under the brilliance of Shrek Academy, other academies seem a little overshadowed.

After a series of nonsense words to arouse the audience's emotions, the host shouted in the most passionate voice:
"Next, please invite the Mainland First Academy, Shrek Academy representative team, and their opponent, the Star Luo Empire Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy representative team to enter the waiting area. At the same time, please invite the captains of the two teams to come on stage to determine their competition methods."

In addition to the rest area for the players, there is also a waiting area on each side of the huge competition stage, which is specially provided for the college teams that are about to compete.

After the referee finished speaking, Zhou Sichen slowly stood up and walked towards the competition stage.

Cao Jinxuan led all the pre-selected players to the waiting area. Zhou Sichen and the captain of Yunluo College went up to the competition stage at the same time to draw the competition method.

The process of drawing the competition is very simple. The referee comes on stage with a round lottery tube containing three colors of balls.

Red represents team battle, yellow represents individual battle, and blue represents the 223 strategy.

As expected, what fell out of the big ball was a small yellow ball.

The referee caught the small ball and at the same time recovered the big ball that fell in the air.

After showing the ball to the captains of both sides, and then signaling to His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire at the head of the Imperial City, he announced loudly through the soul-guided loudspeaker he carried.

"Shrek Academy vs. Yunluo Academy will be conducted in a one-on-one knockout format. Please send the first player from both sides to play."

One on one?

When the audience heard about this way of playing, their eyes lit up.

The one-on-one mode can better reflect the ability of a soul master, and they are looking forward to the performance of Shrek Academy.

Seeing that the seven preliminary team members were still waiting in the battle zone, countless viewers wanted to know what the abilities of the other members of the Shrek Academy preliminary team were, except for Cao Jinxuan and He Caitou who had already demonstrated their prowess.

Zhou Sichen walked down the stage with a calm expression, returned to his seat in the rest area and sat down. He opened his mouth to take the grapes handed to him by Ye Guyi and savored them carefully.

Ma Xiaotao said at the side: "I usually practice too hard, and now I suddenly enjoy it like this. Not only do I feel a lot more relaxed, but I also feel that my soul power bottleneck seems to have loosened a little. This combination of work and rest feels really good."

Dai Yuheng and others nodded when they heard this. Not only Ma Xiaotao had this feeling, but everyone of them seemed to have the same feeling.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "If Xuan and the others are strong enough, we should still have a lot of rest time. Let's look forward to their performance."

On the other side, after seeing the one-on-one result, Cao Jinxuan and the other seven recalled the information about Yunluo College.

Cao Jinxuan then looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Sanshi: "Most of the students in Yunluo Academy are equipped with soul guides. In the first one-on-one battle, let our Eternal Guard take the lead."

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi fanned himself in a showy manner and took a step forward with confidence: "Xu Sanshi, I got your order! Let them see my true strength!"

Beibei couldn't help but complain: "Stupid, be serious and don't capsize. We have almost no understanding of our opponent now. If we lose the opportunity to perform well later, you know the consequences."

As Xu Sanshi walked towards the competition stage, his momentum gradually increased, and his tone became extremely calm: "I understand, I won't let you down."

After hearing this, Beibei finally felt relieved. The serious Xu Sanshi was indeed a very good and trustworthy partner.

Just when Xu Sanshi was extremely serious, Jiang Nannan's voice came from afar: "Show off! If you lose, go die!"

Xu Sanshi couldn't help but stagger, and the momentum he had just built up was almost broken.

Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue looked at each other and smiled silently.

Wang Dong and He Caitou cheered for Xu Sanshi and said, "Senior Sanshi, you are the best. We must let them see how strong our preliminary players are!"

When Xu Sanshi walked onto the fighting arena, opposite him was a tall and fat boy named Ma Yingjun, who looked a little chubby and quite cute.

The referee didn't waste any time and directly announced the start of the game.

Xu Sanshi directly released his martial spirit, and with a long cigar in his mouth, he began to smoke with an intoxicated look on his face.

This cigar is the product of He Caitou's fourth soul skill, called Soul Power Amplifying Thin Cigar, and its effect is naturally to amplify soul power.

Opposite him, Ma Yingjun had already released various soul guides, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

After the competition started, Xu Sanshi started to play tricks on Ma Yingjun, and finally he even jumped off the stage on his own initiative.

But just when everyone thought that Xu Sanshi had voluntarily admitted defeat, the fourth purple soul ring on his body lit up and he directly switched places with Ma Yingjun.

Ma Yingjun's heavy soul guide was too heavy, and he fell to the ground with a clang, looking aggrieved.

The rules of the individual knockout tournament are that one side will step down immediately after losing the match, and the winning side can choose to continue the match or withdraw and make a substitution.

Each side sends seven people, and this continues until all seven people on one side lose the game.

At this moment, Ma Yingjun fell off the competition stage, so naturally Xu Sanshi won the first game.

The second person to come on stage from Yunluo Academy was a beautiful lady named Shangyue. She was also a four-ring soul master and was good at using double-edged soul guides.

But Xu Sanshi was too mean. Not only did he show off all kinds of skills, he also teased the other party with words. In the end, he still won easily in this way that seemed shameless to others.

After winning two games in a row, Xu Sanshi's soul power consumption was only about 30%.

He was puffing smoke from a cigar in his mouth, and the effect of increasing his soul power made him not feel tired at all.
