Chapter 205 Don’t Take Me Seriously at All
The next day, which was also the day before the game, almost no team went out in the hotel. Everyone was actively preparing for the game and adjusting. The same was true for Lin Manshan and others.
Except for eating, he spends the rest of the time practicing breath regulation in his room, striving to adjust his body to the best condition.
A night of silence.
In the early morning, when it was still bright, everyone got up early. After a simple wash and breakfast, they went downstairs to gather and rushed to the competition venue under the leadership of the staff.
There was no opening ceremony, no admission announcement, and everyone was taken directly to the rest area.
As soon as we arrived, a staff member came over to inform us that we were going to draw lots.
The water flows naturally and goes with it.
Everyone then sat down and began to observe the situation on the ground. In the center is a giant arena with a diameter of 100 meters. It is completely made of granite and looks extremely heavy and solid. It is surrounded by independent rest areas specially prepared for each participating college. Looking up, at the very front of the arena is the holy and luxurious Pope's Palace, which stands high on the mountain.
Wuhun Palace has posted a notice before the game. The last three teams in the finals will decide the winner in front of the Pope Palace. At that time, the Pope will personally watch the game and award the final champion team.
Before that, everything was simple.
Moving his gaze, he saw that on the opposite side of the Pope's Palace was the VIP judging seat. Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, who represented the Tiandou Empire, were already seated. In addition, there are representatives from the Star Luo Empire and some high-level officials from Wuhun Palace, all of whom are already in place.
The auditorium was crowded, probably several thousand people, most of them wearing Wuhundian's exclusive uniforms. They all looked at the corner of the rest area of the participating colleges with an angry look on their faces.
On one side of the dedicated lane for competition, the Shrek team was striding towards the rest area under the leadership of Flanders.
"The masked guy with the crew cut is Yu and now Mu Xiaogang, right? Humph, he actually has the nerve to participate in the competition!"
"Bah, shameless thing."
"A scumbag like this can be a team leader, and that's what Shrek Academy is like."
"." Noisy discussions, accompanied by boos, sounded one after another.
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, his expression remained unchanged, and he pretended not to hear. Behind him, Ning Rongrong and other students blushed slightly and lowered their heads slightly to follow.
Liu Erlong looked around angrily, but no one in this Wuhun City took her seriously at all.
As for Flanders, he was called away by the staff as soon as he entered the rest area. Not long after, he returned with a happy face.
When he got closer, he said with a straight face, "Bad news or good news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news." Dai Mubai spoke first.
"Our opponent in the first round is Blazing Academy." Flanders said in a slightly deeper tone.
"Blazing Fire Academy?!" Everyone frowned slightly at once. They had lost miserably in the preliminaries. The Flame's restraint on Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial spirit was too obvious.
"What about the good news?" Yu Xiaogang said calmly.
Flanders then smiled and said, "The Blazing Academy gave up on the finals and voluntarily gave up."
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Erlong showed a puzzled expression, "Blazing Fire Academy finally made it to the finals, why did it suddenly abstain? Boss Fu, have you asked for the reason?"
Flanders spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me, I also got the news suddenly during the draw, and I don't know the specific reason. However, no matter what, this is indeed good news for us. Blazing Academy has abandoned the competition, and we With a direct bye in the first round, everyone will have more time to observe the strength of other colleges and avoid exposing their tactics in advance, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it."
"That being said, it's indeed good." Liu Erlong nodded.
Flanders turned around and looked around the team, "The game is about to start, and you all have to watch carefully. The biggest advantage of a bye is not to avoid fighting, but to better understand the opponent's strength. Anyone who can reach the finals It’s not a weak team, and it’s a knockout match. It’s not easy for a team to hide its strength. Something will be exposed no matter what, so we need to figure it out so we can deal with it in the future.”
"Yes, Dean!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Soon, at the judges' table, a cardinal from Wuhun Palace stood up, announced the start of the game, and read out the list of opponents.
After saying that, a young man standing next to him came forward with a loudspeaker soul guide and invited both combatants to enter.
"This referee, Su Yuntao?" Tang San looked surprised for a moment, but soon returned to calm.
Today's Su Yuntao has low strength and is no longer in the same world as him.
Soon, the game started. The two teams were not very strong, so everyone could only watch it with little interest.
After the two teams left the field, Su Yuntao's clear voice came, "Next, please invite the contestants from the Divine Wind Academy from the Tiandou Empire and the Solanum Solanum Academy from the Star Luo Empire to enter." As the words fell, the players from both sides Slowly walk out of the passages on both sides.
"Is this!?" After seeing the contestants from Kamikaze Academy, everyone in Shrek looked shocked and stood up.
"What's going on? Why do players from Blazing Fire Academy appear in the Divine Wind Academy team?" Dai Mubai couldn't help but say something.
On the side, Tang San also frowned. Team Blazing Fire and Team Kamikaze merged to form a full-member Soul Sect team. Their overall strength was far above that of Team Shrek. Unless the hidden means originally used to deal with the Tianxing team are used, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult to defeat them. Team Blazing and Kamikaze both have fusion skills, and no one is sure whether they can be combined further.
The wind assists the fire, it is by no means as simple as one plus one.
"What's this? I'll go to the organizing committee and ask." Flender said immediately.
"Flender, there's no need to go." Yu Xiaogang shouted directly, "They should have taken advantage of the loopholes in the competition rules just like the original Tianxing Academy. The reason for doing this is obviously to fight against those who have the Soul King. Tianxing team and Wuhundian team.”
Hearing this, Flanders also came to his senses and immediately cursed, "Damn! Why did you forget about this?"
But he had no choice but to return to his seat and sit down depressedly, and then said with a solemn face:
"It seems we have to re-formulate our tactics. The merging of Blazing Team and Kamikaze Team, with all soul sects and martial soul attributes complementing each other, is not easy to deal with."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened.
On the other side, the two sides were already at war.
There is no doubt that the entire game was a one-sided massacre. Nightshade Academy didn't even have a chance to fight back. Players from Blazing Academy threw fireballs and players from Divine Wind Academy fanned their opponents. They choked their opponents at the beginning.
The following scene can be described with four words: "beating up a drowned dog".
Huo Wu stood still the whole time, not even resisting the fire ring.
As the referee declared Kamikaze Academy the winner, both players quickly left the field. Then, the third game began, with Tianxing Academy facing off against the Qianlong Academy from the Star Luo Empire. It was also a brutal killing without any suspense.
The lineup sent by Tianxing Academy was the former Tianshui team members led by Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. As soon as Shui Bing'er's martial spirit was activated, the rhythm of the five soul rings expanded, and the Qianlong Academy players were dumbfounded on the spot. The battle process was also very simple. With a flick of Shui Bing'er's frozen soul skill, all the members of Qianlong Academy turned into popsicles, and then they were targeted.
"This is not the strongest lineup of Tianxing Academy."
In the viewing seats on the Tiandou Empire side, everyone in the Academy felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Looking at Lin Manshan from the corner of his eye, everyone looked helpless.
I can't beat him, I really can't beat him.
Time passed little by little, and the first day of competition came to an end as the sun set.
The teams from all colleges left the field in order.
On the other side, looking at the Lin Manshan crowd leaving, Davis, who was sitting in the Star Luo Royal Team rest area, subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes flickered, and a sense of dissatisfaction and humiliation emerged in his heart. A long time ago, he had received the news that Zhu Zhuyun was not dead, and had come together with Lin Manshan, and joined Tianxing Academy.
Lin Manshan's reputation on the mainland during that time was really great.
With his unparalleled alchemy skills and the powerful Dugu Bo, even the Qibao Glazed Sect and Wuhun Palace have to take the initiative to make friends.
Naturally, the royal family would send people to secretly probe for information, and the news that Zhu Zhuyun was still alive was Shunteng's guess.
There are also Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyu who were taken away.
But what can be done?
The three of them are now in the Tiandou Empire, and they are protected by Dugu Bo, who has the power to destroy the country. Not to mention being friends with Wuhun Palace and Qibao Glazed Sect, Tianxing Academy itself is also extremely powerful.
Nowadays, in the court of Xingluo Empire, there are already voices who want to use Zhu Zhuyun and the others to make friends with Lin Manshan.
He did not take him, Zhu Zhuyun's fiancé, the eldest prince of the empire, and the future prince, seriously at all.
In addition, because of Zhu Zhuyun's departure, he has not been able to find a suitable daughter from the Zhu family to form a martial soul fusion skill with him in the past two years.
Today's Star Luo Royal Team is undoubtedly greatly reduced in combat effectiveness.
The only good news is that Zhu Zhuqing also ran away with Lin Manshan.
Dai Mubai, who ran away from home, had no qualifications to return to the country to compete with him for the throne, so his position as prince was basically secure.
Compared with the throne, what do women mean? Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved. The main reason why he was unhappy was that Zhu Zhuyun still carried the identity of his fiancée, which affected his reputation in the country. Occasionally, he felt a little green on the top of his head. Putting all these aside, he didn't have any other thoughts. It was just women. When he became the emperor, he didn't have as much as he wanted.
He did like Zhu Zhuyun, but not to the point where he would die without her.
Why the hell did this happen to me? It would have been better for Zhu Zhuyun to die in the Star Forest. He led the team to leave the field in great depression.
His father had even written the divorce letter and told him that he would hand it over to Lin Manshan this time, so he asked what was this? ! He wanted to refuse, but had no choice.
Because from the perspective of the empire, it is indeed necessary. Sending out the divorce letter can at least ease the relationship a little and reduce the possibility of Dugu Bo helping the Tiandou Empire to deal with the Star Luo Empire in the future. Although I don’t know if it will be useful, but on the surface You still have to do some hard work.
If you don't do it, others will do whatever they are supposed to do, and they won't pay attention to the Xingluo royal family. Just for fun, just in case it works.
Regarding Dugu Bo's ability, everyone in the imperial court is indeed panicking and extremely fearful.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and my pace quickened.
