Douluo Continent: Becoming a God of Magic Starting with Your Martial Soul
Chapter 58: The Elimination Rounds are Underway!
In the knockout stage, the four undefeated teams receive preferential treatment.
These four teams will not meet in the round of 64 to 32.
Facing Zihao's team, whom he had defeated before, Lu Yi this time did not focus on harming Leng Leng.
This time they held nothing back, all three of them giving it their all.
Without any referee-restricted skills, Lu Yi disarmed Zi Hao's sword spirit at the start of the match. Without causing serious damage, he followed up with a spell and threw Zi Hao off the field.
Zhou Sichen then used two beast spirits to attack Ma Qingshuang, who was controlled by Cao Jinxuan. Even with the support of the cold and aloof Xiaobaihua, the gap in strength was simply too great for her to resist.
Then, under the coercion of the three men and two beasts, Leng Leng jumped off the stage with a sense of relief.
In the first five rounds of the competition, she had already realized the gap in strength between the two sides.
Having defeated two teams of Soul Masters, they knew the outcome the moment they saw the draw results, so they weren't too disappointed.
From the start to the opponent's surrender, the entire match lasted less than twenty seconds, and Lu Yi and his two companions consumed almost no soul power.
In the second session in the afternoon, Lu Yi finally made his move on his classmate.
He, as the vice class monitor, knew the martial spirits and levels of his classmates perfectly.
The moment he saw the list, nine ways to deal with them came to mind.
However, in the end he chose the simplest and most unpretentious way.
The levitation spell immobilizes the target and suspends them in mid-air, followed by a knockback spell that blasts them out of the arena.
It was just the right amount of force, leaving you bewildered but not mentally exhausted.
Unlike Zhou Sichen, Lu Yi was not greedy for credit and always wanted to take on multiple opponents, until he realized he couldn't handle it and quickly asked for help.
The two matches on the first day lasted only a little over a minute in total, which naturally attracted the attention of many teachers in the stands.
In particular, the unusual lineup of Lu Yi and his two companions all possessing ranged weapon spirits is quite unusual.
It wasn't so obvious in the round-robin stage, but now in the knockout stage, the significant expansion of the venue has allowed the three players' long-range advantage to shine.
The outcome was decided before the opponent even crossed the halfway line.
The venue will be further expanded for the round of 16 matches tomorrow and the semi-finals and championship matches the day after.
Only then will this eccentric team truly be on their home turf.
In contrast, the other groups also had teams with vastly different strengths, especially the three Soul Master level teams, which all demonstrated formidable power.
"This year's freshmen are all extraordinary!"
Dean of Students Du Weilun nodded slightly from time to time, a faint smile on his face.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face, and then his eyes widened.
Just now, a team of Soul Masters was eliminated right under his nose.
Their opponents, on the other hand, seem to have an even more outrageous lineup. The second-ring student who is a thousand-year veteran is indeed amazing, but what's the deal with the white-ring student in this team?
Whose subordinate is this?
At this moment, Du Weilun turned around and saw Mu Jin with a gloomy face, while Zhou Yi had a faint smile on her face.
"Teacher Mulan, it seems your class's top seed isn't all that great after all. Remember to prepare the promised soul bone!"
Having said that, without giving Mu Jin a chance to retaliate, Zhou Yi turned and left under Mu Jin's hostile gaze.
Mu Jin could only look at Lu Yi, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan in the audience with hopeful eyes before leaving the stands to visit her class monitor.
The team that was eliminated was naturally the all-female team led by Ning Tian.
Struck by Huo Yuhao's soul attack, Ning Tian, a Soul Master, immediately fainted.
In the treatment room, Mu Jin breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Ning Tian was alright.
After Mu Jin left, Wu Feng angrily decided to use the power of his family to take revenge.
"Xiao Feng, a loss is a loss. There's no reason to complain or blame others."
Ning Tian, clutching his aching head, called out to Wu Feng, rubbed his temples, and continued, "Moreover, this team has a close relationship with Lu Yi and the others. If you act impulsively, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Yes, young master!"
"Don't call me Young Master, we are sisters."
……
After the first day of fierce fighting, the sixty-four teams and nearly two hundred trainees were reduced to sixteen teams, with a total of only forty-eight people.
The next day, the round of 16 was drawn again.
When Lu Yi discovered that the four teams in his half of the bracket had miraculously avoided those strong teams, he nodded to himself.
It would be a good thing to be able to relax a bit in such a high-intensity competition.
On the other hand, Huo Yuhao, by sheer coincidence, ran into Xie Huanyue's team again.
"Great sign!"
Cao Jinxuan also saw the competition group assignments and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew very well how difficult it was to fight against Dai Huabin's team, and that without Lu Yi's final act of turning the tide, they would have had a hard time winning.
Since his brother was injured last time, Luo Tianlong probably hates Lu Yi to the core.
If we were to face these two teams again in the knockout stage, it would be extremely difficult.
"Just pure luck."
After Wang Dong finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Lu Yi and the other two.
Wang Dong now feels that the bad luck of Lu Yi and the other two has been passed on to him.
Otherwise, how can we explain that they only encountered tough opponents in the knockout stage, and today's first match is against Xie Huanyue, Lu Yi's previous opponent?
Zhou Sichen smiled gloatingly.
"Then you guys need to step up your game. I've already started researching our semi-final opponents."
"cut!"
Wang Dong clenched his fists, ignoring Zhou Sichen's teasing.
He was prepared to continue fighting with all his might today, but when he looked at Huo Yuhao, he found that Huo Yuhao's fists were clenched even tighter than his own.
His gaze was fixed on the tall, blond student not far away. According to what Lu Yi had said before, that person was Dai Huabin.
Wang Dong didn't know why Huo Yuhao reacted so strongly, as if there was some deep-seated grudge. He would ask him about it when they got back from the competition.
There were significantly more people in the stands today than in the previous days, and there was also a special person there.
He sat on the railing of the stands, wearing a tattered robe whose original color was no longer discernible. His muddy feet dangled in the air, and a dozen or so leftover chicken bones were scattered on the ground behind him.
However, despite the forgiveness, no one dared to reprimand his uncivilized behavior, because this person was none other than Xuanzi, who had just been reinstated.
Compared to his previous aimless days, he seems like a different person now, and is clearly in a good mood.
Seeing two familiar figures appear in the top 16 lineup, Xuanzi's face showed satisfaction, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Le Xuan has a good eye; I never realized these two boys had such potential."
Xuanzi casually beckoned a teacher in his forties, who hurriedly stepped forward with utmost respect. He was none other than Wang Yan, a senior teacher from the Department of Foreign Languages.
"You mentioned a student with a true martial soul and another who understands classical Chinese; both made it into the top sixteen. Who are they?"
Wang Yan quickly looked down at the audience, and after confirming, pointed down at them.
Following Wang Yan's instructions, Xuanzi looked at the people. When Lu Yi and Huo Yuhao reappeared in his field of vision, he subconsciously straightened up.
Are you sure it's the two of them?
