The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 95 Battle Against the Sun and Moon

Back in their room at the Mingyue Hotel, after everyone had breakfast, Huo Zhanji specifically asked Wang Qiu'er to draw lots. As a divine beast of destiny, he believed her luck in drawing lots shouldn't be too bad, and they would win no matter which team they drew.

Just then, the group of people who were eating suddenly heard a knock on the door. Huo Zhanji gestured for Ma Xiaotao to open the door, and standing outside the door was Wang Qiu'er, who had already drawn her lot.

Wang Dong'er pushed Huo Zhanji forward, and Huo Zhanji asked Wang Qiu'er, "Qiu'er, how are our group assignments for the round-robin tournament?"

Wang Qiu'er said, "We've run into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy again."

"Your luck is incredible. I should have drawn lots instead. Everyone should have come over and discussed tactics for the match against the Sun and Moon team," Huo Zhanji said with a smile.

Wang Qiu'er's eyes were fixed on Huo Zhanji, but seeing Huo Zhanji's current state, she suppressed the urge to beat him up.

A crowd gathered around.

"In the individual elimination rounds, our only goal is to reduce the strength of our opponents as much as possible, but we must also ensure our own safety. The team competition is the ultimate factor that determines the outcome, but how to weaken our opponents in the individual elimination rounds is equally important to us."

"I'll go first," Wang Qiu'er said.

"Yes, but you must ensure your safety as much as possible and not act recklessly," Huo Zhanji said.

"I'm second," Wang Dong'er said immediately.

.........

"During the competition, everyone must follow my instructions. Whoever I say goes up, goes up; whoever I say goes down, comes down from the stage. If anyone disobeys my orders during the competition, then they don't need to participate in the next round, and we'll go straight home." Huo Zhanji's tone was calm, but the authority in his voice made everyone's hearts tremble.

He Caitou was the first to speak up: "I agree."

"I agree too," Xu Sanshi said without hesitation.

The others naturally wouldn't object. Huo Zhanji's gaze finally landed on Wang Qiu'er. Wang Qiu'er looked into Huo Zhanji's eyes and then nodded, because when Huo Zhanji said he would replace someone, he really meant it.

.........

At dawn, the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament finally entered the round-robin stage. In the round-robin stage, strong competition will begin to emerge. All 32 teams that have entered the round-robin stage will be divided into four groups of eight teams each to play a single round-robin tournament. That is to say, each team will play one match against each of the other seven teams in the same group.

In the round-robin stage, two groups of teams will each play four matches each day, while the next day, the other two groups will each play four matches in the morning and afternoon. The entire round-robin stage will last approximately fourteen days. The top two teams from each group will advance to the final stage, which will consist of three rounds: quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final to determine the ultimate champion.

Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were placed in Group 1. The other six teams are almost certainly eliminated. Today's first match of the first round of the round-robin tournament will be a fierce battle between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The rest area next to the competition stage of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has been repaired in just two days. When Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen brought the Sun Moon Team to the competition venue, they immediately saw the Shrek Academy members sitting in the rest area.

On the platform, Ju Zi pushed Regent Xu Tianran to the main seat, straightened his clothes, and then sat down gently beside him. Xu Tianran took one of her hands and placed it on his lap, patting it lightly. Ju Zi smiled slightly, looking like a little bird nestled against its nest.

"Today's first round is a match between the Sun and Moon Team and Shrek Academy, which should be very interesting," Xu Tianran said with a smile.

Orange smiled and said, "Really? Then our Sun and Moon team will definitely be victorious."

Xu Tianran turned his head and glanced at the Mingde Hall Master not far away, and asked, "What does the Hongchen Hall Master think?"

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to say. This is just a round-robin tournament. For both sides, even if they lose this match, they won't be eliminated."

At this moment, the referee had entered the arena. After announcing the rules of the round-robin tournament, he concluded by saying, "The first match of the first group in the round-robin tournament is between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team and the Shrek Academy team. Both teams' players will proceed to the waiting area. Players for the first individual match will now come to the stage."

Except for Huo Zhanji, all the contestants from both sides stood up at the same time. Their eyes met and sparks flew. Wang Qiu'er's gaze remained fixed on Huo Zhanji.

On the Sun and Moon team's side, Xiao Hongchen made a gesture to a young man, who immediately jumped up and went straight onto the competition stage.

On the Shrek team's side, Wang Qiu'er gestured to Huo Zhanji and then stood up from her seat. As she stood up, Huo Zhanji's eyes were very cold, and he nodded slightly to Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er leaped onto the competition stage, her toes barely touching the ground. The moment she stepped onto the stage, a soul-guided protective barrier instantly rose up around it, isolating them from the outside world.

"Who is this? Why is there no information about her?" Xiao Hongchen asked with a hint of confusion.

The referee looked at both sides and said in a deep voice, "This is the first match of the round-robin tournament. You both need to be careful and try not to injure your opponent. Once I determine the winner, I will immediately separate you. Neither of you is allowed to continue attacking; otherwise, you will be declared the loser. Understand?"

The young man from the Sun and Moon team nodded and said, "My name is Shi Xing. Remember my name; perhaps it will stay with you for life." With that, he turned and walked towards the edge of his own territory.

Wang Qiu'er frowned: "Not very strong, but quite arrogant."

After speaking, Wang Qiu'er walked towards the edge of her own field. As she turned to walk back towards her own side, she met Huo Zhanji's gaze in the waiting area below the stage. Huo Zhanji's voice entered her mind: "No need to worry, I'll take responsibility for the consequences."
