Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

Then I saw Xuanzi lying in the public rest area, looking like she was already drunk.

Of course, he only appeared drunk; someone of Xuanzi's caliber would never actually get drunk.

Upon sensing Wang Yan and the others' return, Xuanzi immediately sat up from the sofa.

Xuanzi squinted at them, and when he noticed the injured Dai Huabin and Xixi, his dazed eyes instantly sharpened, and anger burst forth from them.

"What happened? How come two more people are injured?" Xuanzi asked Wang Yan coldly.

Chapter 184 The Round Robin Ends

Since arriving here, Xuanzi has felt that his emotions have never been at peace.

Having recovered from his serious injuries and with greatly increased strength, Dai Huabin came here to participate in the competition, and Xuanzi thought he would see a great outcome.

Even if Ma Xiaotao and Dai Huabin are injured, Shrek Academy's strength is still top-notch.

With five regular players still in the lineup, Shrek Academy should have no problem securing a perfect record in the early stages of the game.

However, he did not expect that as soon as he returned here, he would hear the news that Shrek Academy had lost the round-robin tournament, and that it was to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, in his view, after he brought Dai Huabin back, Shrek Academy would not be able to lose the next competition.

As a level 98 Super Douluo, although he hadn't seen Dai Huabin make a move after Dai Huabin fused with his fourth spirit ring, he could still accurately judge Dai Huabin's strength.

With his addition, even if Bei Bei and Chen Zifeng are injured, Shrek Academy will have absolutely no problem handling a mere round-robin tournament.

With this mindset in mind, he didn't even watch the game, and instead lay on the hotel sofa drinking.

He was absolutely certain that once he sobered up, Wang Yan and the others would bring him good news.

But what was presented to him now was completely different from what he had imagined.

Dai Huabin, whom he had just brought back, and Xixi, who was perfectly fine yesterday, are now seriously injured.

Doesn't this look exactly like someone who has lost the game?

If he hadn't lost the game, how could he have been injured so badly?

"You lost this round-robin tournament again?"

Xuanzi's voice was extremely cold, and his face was extremely ugly.

Xuanzi was very clear about the consequences of losing this match.

Having already lost one round-robin match, if they lose this one too, their chances of advancing will be slim.

Because he knew perfectly well that a team capable of defeating Shrek Academy was virtually incapable of losing to any other team in the group.

They might not be able to beat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but losing just one game would be enough for them to advance.

Did Shrek Academy collapse in the round-robin tournament?

If this were to actually happen, it would be Shrek Academy's worst and most humiliating record ever.

The thought of this possibility made Xuanzi's anger uncontrollable.

At the same time, he was also very worried about how to explain this to the elders of Shrek Academy.

Given that he led the team to compete and achieved such a poor result, he is certainly to blame.

Wang Yan and the other students were also startled by Xuan Zi's cold words.

Wang Yan instantly realized why Xuanzi had changed like this.

Then, he quickly explained, "Elder Xuan, you misunderstand. We did not lose this match."

"It's just that the game was very difficult at the beginning, which is why Dai Huabin and Xixi got injured."

The others nodded quickly, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Seeing that everyone's expressions seemed genuine, Xuanzi's initial intense anger subsided.

He could accept it as long as Shrek Academy didn't fall in the round-robin tournament.

Of course, this is only acceptable at this stage.

If Shrek Academy were to fall in the first round of the knockout stage immediately after breaking through the round-robin stage, he definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate it.

In any case, in his view, Shrek Academy must make it to the finals, defeat Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, wash away the shame of losing to them before, and win the championship.

However, in order not to put too much pressure on them, Xuanzi did not say these words aloud.

After calming down, Xuanzi looked at everyone and said, "So what exactly happened? What kind of opponent did you encounter? And two more people have been injured."

Wang Yan also sighed, and in the end, it was their opponent who revealed the truth about the match.

Upon hearing that it was Zhengtian Academy, Xuanzi understood the current outcome.

After all, Zhentian Academy had a genius named Ye Wuqing, whom he had personally praised.

Given Shrek Academy's current state, it's not unacceptable that they could win the match despite having two players injured.

"Sigh, I didn't expect my luck to be so bad this time. I've encountered the strongest team in the league twice in a row during the round-robin stage."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xuanzi nodded in agreement; it was their competition, and their luck had indeed been a bit bad.

They encountered a powerful opponent far too early, one that they were supposed to face much later in the game.

This has never happened before.

"Alright, take them back to rest. Put Dai Huabin and Xixi down. I'll personally help them regulate their breathing to speed up their recovery."

Xuanzi waved his hand and said to Wang Yan.

"Yes, Elder Xuan, I'll send them back right now."

Wang Yan also said with some excitement.

If Xuanzi, a great master, were to personally intervene, it would definitely speed up the recovery of Dai Huabin and Xixi's injuries.

Because they were both seriously injured, the pure soul power they were cultivating could help alleviate their injuries more quickly.

As for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, since their injuries were not severe and Xuanzi was not a healing soul master, they could not play a significant role.

Soon, the rest area where Shrek Academy was located returned to calm.

After surviving the ordeal at Zhengtian Academy, their path will become easier, and they won't have to be as nervous as before.

Meanwhile, at Star Luo Square, the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy easily defeated their opponents in today's match.

Huo Yuhao and his group still didn't do much; they just stood there for a while with the reserve team members.

It can only be said that apart from them, Shrek Academy, and Zheng Tian Academy, all the other participating teams in this group are very weak and have no way to pose a threat to them.

Then Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel with the others.

The round-robin tournament continued for the next few days.

In the third round of the tournament, Shrek Academy displayed unprecedented strength.

It wasn't because Ma Xiaotao had finally recovered from her injury and returned to the field; although she was healed, Wang Yan didn't let her play.

At this stage, their opponents no longer require a player of Ma Xiaotao's caliber to participate.

The reason for this change is that they finally drew the team battle mode, which they are most proficient in.

This way, their two support Soul Masters, Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan, who haven't appeared yet, can both take the field.

With two Soul King-level support members, Shrek Academy's combat strength has been greatly enhanced.

Winning the round-robin tournament will be a piece of cake.

Chapter 185: Easy Advancement, Opponents in the Elimination Rounds

After winning the third match, Shrek's luck continued to be excellent, with them drawing mostly team battles.

Even if it's not a team fight, the opponents are so weak that they can be easily defeated.

In this way, they easily defeated all the teams in their group, achieving a record of seven wins and one loss.

Zhengtian Academy faced Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the final match of the round-robin tournament.

In order to advance, they fought with all their might against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Ye Wuqing's full-force burst of power was so great that even Soul Emperor Ma Rulong had to take action himself.

Unfortunately, they ultimately fell to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Zhengtian Academy, having lost two matches in the round-robin tournament, ultimately had to fall short in the round-robin stage.

It could be said that they were even more unlucky than Shrek Academy.

After all, in the last tournament, they were knockout stage players.

This year, they have stronger teammates and are eager to achieve better rankings.

Now, however, they have fallen in the round-robin stage because they encountered the two strongest teams. It has to be said that fate is cruel.

As for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, they achieved a perfect record without any surprises and advanced to the next stage of the elimination rounds.

Time flies, and there's only one day left until the knockout stage begins.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, everyone gathered in the conference room.

Because the knockout stage starts tomorrow, they need to develop tactics based on their opponents.

As the teacher in charge of the team, Mr. Ma went to participate in the lottery early on. Before leaving, he instructed Ma Rulong to gather everyone together.

Everyone in the meeting room had smiles on their faces. In fact, after defeating Shrek Academy, they were all in a good mood.

Because they felt that no one could stop them in this competition, after all, Shrek Academy had lost to them.

No matter how strong the other academies are, they are still limited compared to Shrek Academy.

They were well aware that they had defeated a crippled Shrek.

However, they are confident that if they can defeat Shrek once, they can defeat them a second time.

Sitting next to Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but imagine what kind of opponents she would face in the first round of elimination matches.

"I wonder which team we'll be drawn against this time. Hopefully it'll be Shrek Academy, then we can defeat them in the first round."

"Let them taste this humiliation properly," Meng Hongchen said with a smile.
