Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 123 After many twists and turns, it's still the starting point.

The knockout stage went very quickly, mainly because most of the matches were not really necessary.

It seemed like the competition was rigged; the opponents drawn in the Soul Fighting Tournament were overwhelmingly strong, while the other side consisted of teams that were basically at the bottom of the rankings.

For example, the royal academies of the four great empires on the continent and Shrek Academy have never met in the elimination rounds, greatly reducing the appeal of the competition.

But things are completely different in the round-robin stage.

The fact that the price of tickets for the Soul Fighting Tournament is being driven higher and higher by scalpers is enough to prove how exciting it is.

The first round, the first match of the round-robin tournament.

The soul-guided loudspeaker installed on the high platform announced the list of combat academies to the entire audience.

"Shrek Academy Team vs. Yunluo Academy Team".

"Please send one team member from each side to the stage."

After hearing the news about the competition, Ma Xiaotao turned her gaze to Zhang Lexuan, but only paused for a moment before looking at Beibei, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

But all he got in return was Beibei shaking her head in refusal.

"You are the captain of the main team in this Soul Fighting Tournament, and the captain of the preliminary team in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament. It's time for you to make a decision."

"If you won, it's because of your excellent planning; if you lost, it's because of my poor judgment in choosing your people."

"Go ahead and do it."

Listening to his experienced and mature remarks, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but purse her lips.

He thought to himself: "You're barely out of hair, not even as old as me. Do you need to take responsibility for me?"

Of course, on the surface, she still had to take on the responsibility of a team leader, recalling the specific information of the Yunluo Academy's participating team members.

"Their soul power cultivation is not strong, and there are no five-ring Soul Kings, but the high-level academy team from the Sun Moon Empire has no weaklings when it comes to soul tools."

"The first round of the first round-robin tournament is a one-on-one elimination tournament. The loser is eliminated, and the winner continues to fight. The winner is the one who defeats seven opponents."

"The junior students in the reserve team have come all this way, they can't just sit there and watch."

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao immediately looked at Huo Yuhao.

He was accepted as a disciple by Fan Yu, an eighth-level Soul Guidance Master, and was regarded as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.

After awakening his second martial soul with the ultimate ice attribute, he attracted the full attention of his teacher and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department. In the end, Elder Mu made the decision to cultivate both the Soul Guidance and the martial soul.

Sending a Soul Guidance genius to the field could give them a chance to compete with the Sun Moon Empire's academy.

But she quickly rejected the decision.

The reason is simple: Huo Yuhao's soul power cultivation is too weak.

Furthermore, the first round of the first tournament was a one-on-one elimination match, rendering Huo Yuhao's extraordinary support abilities in terms of his martial soul completely useless.

With his pitiful soul power as a second-ring Great Soul Master, what can he do among a group of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables?

After abandoning Huo Yuhao, she scrutinized the seven members of the reserve team with her phoenix eyes.

Ning Tian, ​​the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, um... let's skip that.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, both three-ring Soul Venerables, will be omitted.

A four-ring agility-type Soul Master... a four-ring full-time Soul Master... a four-ring defense-type Soul Master.

In the end, Ma Xiaotao's gaze settled on Xu Sanshi.

She had trained with this little turtle and was quite strong; most five-ring Soul Kings would find it difficult to break through his Xuanwu defense.

Furthermore, the defensive-type Battle Soul Sect is more effective against Soul Masters than other types.

"Yunluo Academy isn't too strong. In the first round, the first match of the round-robin tournament, Xu Sanshi, you'll be the first to go up."

Meanwhile, Xu Sanshi...

He followed Jiang Nannan around like a lapdog, licking her boots.

Hearing someone call his name, he immediately turned his head in surprise.

"what?"

"I?"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have a problem?"

Upon seeing that the person calling him was Ma Xiaotao, Xu Sanshi shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"No, no!"

"It's good that you don't have any. Just play as many games as you can, and don't force yourself too much."

"Hehe, don't worry."

"Leave it to me, watch me take them down seven at once."

Seemingly unwilling to look at Ma Xiaotao any longer, he turned to Beibei and said:

"Watch closely, I'll win back the face you lost."

"Watch my performance."

Beibei: "Uh..."

After all that back and forth, in the first round of the first round-robin tournament, it was this guy again who got to play.

Trying to save face for me? Given your personality, you'd be lucky not to go up there and embarrass yourself.

After staring at the Soul Arena for a while, Beibei closed her eyes, raised her hand to cover her face, too ashamed to look.

Xu Sanshi thought that the main team would be at full strength and that his own martial soul had evolved from Xuanming Turtle to Xuanwu, so he wouldn't be so cautious as to be cowardly. But Beibei was wrong this time.

Being "cheap" is in one's nature!

As the saying goes, a dog can be changed... cough!

As the saying goes, "It is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."

After exchanging a few words with his opponent, Xu Sanshi ran away and jumped off the fighting platform.

At the same time, the fourth-ranked purple soul ring lit up, indicating a Xuanming replacement.

Within a certain range, the spatial station position of objects can be changed. Beibei also has a similar soul skill, the sixth soul skill provided by the Thorn Dragon, Spatial Reversal.

In terms of its soul skill effect alone, it is a pretty good skill that can achieve unexpected results and win unexpected victories.

For example, right now, because of the initial barrage of words and Xu Sanshi's strange behavior.

The Yunluo Academy team members who were switched positions had no time to react and were completely unprepared, landing heavily on the ground outside the Soul Arena.

Everything was going smoothly up to this point. Xu Sanshi, having switched positions, only needed to stay on the Soul Fighting Stage and wait for the referee to react and declare him the winner.

But he just had to add drama to his life, sneaking up in front of the somewhat stunned referee with a cheeky grin.

"Snapped!"

He opened a small folding fan, concealing the corners of his mouth that were curled into a "U" shape, and sneered:

"Ouch?"

"He 'voluntarily' stepped down from the stage, so referee, I win this first game, right?"

Before the referee could react and announce the result, Xu Sanshi, in the posture of a victor in a major competition, raised his arms high and bowed slightly.

"Thanks!"

Thank you all for your support and love.

"Of course, everyone's cheers could be louder and more enthusiastic."

Those who know the details know that he only won the first game of the first match in the first round of the round-robin tournament.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he had just won the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament!

Those present naturally knew about it, so the cheers...

"What?!"

"They won already?!"

"What on earth is this guy doing?!"

"What happened to the Soul Fighting Tournament?! Soul Fighting?!"

"Do you even know how much the tickets for the round-robin tournament have been sold for?!"

"This is what you're showing me?!"

"rnm, refund my money!"

"..."

The sound from the soul-guided loudspeaker seemed to pause for a moment, until the audience had vented their temporary anger before resuming.
