Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 136: Elimination Rounds, Draw

"Gentlemen, I will not repeat the rules of the knockout stage."

In the rest area of ​​Liyue Academy, Wu Yun addressed the crowd.

Xuan Ziwen, standing to the side, crossed his arms and nodded in agreement without saying a word.

He was unclear about the competition rules and had no interest in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

The team leaders from Liyue Academy were Xuan Ziwen and Wu Yun. They were also the teachers at Liyue Academy who taught Soul Tools and Soul Master training, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to lead the team in the competition.

"After the draw, you will decide who will take the stage."

"How the spoils are distributed is not important; what matters is winning."

As if he had thought of something, Wu Yun narrowed his eyes, smiled wickedly, and said, "You don't want to be eliminated before even reaching the first round, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and the others twitched at the corner of their eyes, speechless.

They were very familiar with the rules of the knockout stage.

Unlike the competition rules from 10,000 years ago, this knockout tournament, as the name suggests, is a knockout tournament from the very first match, where opponents will be eliminated and losers will not even have the chance to enter the first round.

The knockout stage is also a selection process, eliminating some mediocre teams and speeding up the competition for the championship.

It's important to know that the competition ten thousand years ago involved a month of intense competition before reaching the ranking rounds, and another half month of ranking rounds before the finals. It was truly complicated.

Sure enough, after the rules were changed, the competition schedule was directly deleted for a month and a half.

"Yes, Teacher Wu Yun!"

Everyone still needs to think carefully about this elimination round.

If we encounter a strong team in the knockout stage, we must go all out, otherwise, we may very well be upset!
From a historical perspective, such a thing is quite possible.

"Teacher Xuan, shall we draw lots, or shall I?"

Wu Yun glanced at Xuan Ziwen and asked.

Wu Yun showed sufficient respect to this young level eight Soul Master, even though the other party was from the Sun Moon Empire.

Hearing this, Xuan Ziwen shook his head and said to Wu Yun, "I'm not familiar with the competition rules, so it's better to leave the drawing of lots and such matters to Teacher Wu."

Upon seeing this, Wu Yun did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Even after arriving in Star Luo City, this young level eight Soul Master spent all his time locked in his room researching Soul Tools and wasn't enthusiastic about the competition.

His willingness to lead the team in the competition demonstrates his attitude; it's probably about increasing the number of players.

Wu Yun didn't say much, gave a few instructions to everyone, and then went to draw lots.

"Dear friends, Xiaoya and I need two spots due to some special reasons. Please do not compete for these spots in the elimination rounds and the finals."

Beibei cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to the crowd and said with a determined expression.

Although everyone was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Beibei and Tang Ya were up to, they nodded.

Beibei and Tang Ya aren't competing for the other spots; they're only vying for the elimination rounds and the finals. We'll just let them have those spots.

With everyone being so understanding, Beibei felt relieved.

He and Tang Ya definitely needed these two spots, because they represented not only Liyue Academy, but also Tang Sect.

As the head and senior disciple of the Tang Clan, they need to do something important after the competition!
This is an extremely important matter!

Something that neither the former leader of the Tang Clan nor anyone else in the world dared to imagine!
“Since you and Tang Ya need these two spots, we will naturally not compete for them.”

"As for the other spots, will they be decided by lottery or by rotation?"

We are all friendly and harmonious partners, and we shouldn't let a single spot cause a rift.

Everyone is well aware of each other's abilities.

"I think rotation is better, let's stick with rotation." "If we draw lots to decide every game, it would be hilarious if some unlucky guy never gets to play."

That's the logic, and they're also afraid of becoming that unlucky kid.

Therefore, rotation is necessary.

"How about this: when facing average teams, we'll use rotation; but when facing strong teams, we'll switch to voting instead of rotation!"

Gu Yuena stepped forward and addressed the crowd.

Although everyone is a participant, their skill levels vary. If a weaker player encounters a strong team, there is still a possibility of losing the game!
Hearing this, everyone nodded and had no objections.

There's a reason they're so easy to talk to; their only goal is to win the championship!

"If that's the case, then let's make it that way?"

"Okay, it's decided then!"

After everyone finished their discussion, Wu Yun's lottery was also completed.

Wu Yun returned with a smile on her face, showing no sign of nervousness, indicating that she had not drawn any strong opponents in the elimination rounds.

At least for Liyue Academy, they are not a formidable opponent.

"I'm known for my divine intervention, and the opponent I drew wasn't a strong team."

"Teacher, which team did we draw?"

Beibei was the first to ask.

"Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

Beibei still had some impression of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

This academy has a long history, but it was renamed because the Heavenly Dou Empire split into the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douling Empire.

Heavenly Spirit, Heavenly Spirit, isn't that just Heavenly Soul and Battle Spirit?
Unfortunately, even changing his name didn't please him; he tried to please both sides but ended up pleasing neither.

However, the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy still has some foundation, which is why it has survived to this day.

"As expected of Teacher Wu!"

"Apart from Beibei and Tang Ya, let's take turns this round."

Beibei and Tangya became participants in the elimination round as they wished, but the other five spots were none of their business.

The rules for the knockout stage are very simple: it's a team competition, a seven-on-seven team battle.

Although the Soul Master Competition celebrates individual heroism, the purpose of the elimination rounds is to weed out those academies that are merely filling in the numbers.

Therefore, the elimination rounds are a team competition.

Only in later matches will there be individual battles, two-on-two matches, or even three-on-three group matches.

After the draw, it was time for the opening ceremony, where the Star Emperor would say a few words before the elimination rounds began.

But things are different now!
You should know that Xu Jiawei was sitting next to a god, a god known for his martial arts, the God of War!

How could we not invite the God of War to say a few words at such a competition?
The amplifying soul guide only stayed in Xu Jiawei's hands for a few seconds, just the time it took to say three sentences!
"Hello everyone, I am Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire."

"I have nothing to say. The same applies to previous terms."

"Please, Lord Martial God, say a few words for everyone!"

After saying this, Xu Jiawei respectfully placed the amplifying soul tool in his hand in front of Zhong Li.

Upon seeing this, everyone turned their gaze toward Zhongli.

Zhongli waved his hand and stood with his hands behind his back.
