Douluo: Peerless Light.

Chapter 517 The Leisure Before the Storm【6000 words】

At this time, one of the officials with a big belly stood up, poked the microphone, and said with a smile on his face: "Ahem. Hello? Hello? Ah! Let me just say a few words. First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone here for being able to enter this The quarter-finals of the tournament. We all know”

"Secondly."

"In one, it's about."

"And that's it."

A series of bureaucratic and nonsense talk lasted nearly half an hour.

If it hadn't been for Qian Chaoguang "accidentally" dropping a machete onto the rostrum, and it just happened to be embedded in the wooden table used for speaking, this old man may not know when he will have to speak.

Such a move won the favor of almost everyone present in one fell swoop.

Nobody wants to listen to this old guy rambling on and on.

The official seemed a little embarrassed by this and wanted to reprimand him loudly.

But since Qian Chaoguang was manicuring his nails with the machete and looking at his neck at the same time, he didn't dare to say anything.

This old B Deng finally got to the point.

"Next, what we are going to do is the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals. This draw is very important. You must do it."

Seeing that this old thing is going to go crazy again, others who don't have the corresponding status can only swallow their anger, but Qian Chaoguang doesn't care about his tricks, and just opens his mouth to scold:
"Is it over? Is there no end to the bureaucratic talk? From now on, if you dare to waste a word, I will slash you with a knife, and I will make you unable to speak forever."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Even the members of the Holy Spirit Cult looked at Qian Chaoguang with surprise.

You dare to turn against the organizing committee of the Sun Moon Empire Contest like this, brother, you are really tough!

The official seemed to have never seen such a disrespectful person. Just as he was about to put his hat on his face, the Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan stood up with a groan, and pushed him back. in the back seat.

"Let me read the lottery rules."

While speaking, he also cast a grateful look at Qian Zhaoguang.

What did you say just now?

No one wants to listen to this old thing.

"We first invite the four top teams in the group to draw lots, and divide them into upper and lower halves in groups of two. After the divisions, we will draw for the opponents."

"Please note that until the final, the four teams from each half will only meet teams from their own half. The winners of the last two halves will proceed to the final."

Listening to Zheng Zhan's neat explanation, the anger in Qian Chaoguang's heart seemed to subside a little.

However, for this absolutely bloated and cerebrally palsy competition system, he still had to curse in his heart.

Who the hell came up with such an imbecile cerebral palsy game?
Damn it, there are only tmd √8 games in total, I wish I could stitch all tm the world's competition system together.

are you crazy!
The meaning of the competition area system is that it was implemented because there are too many teams in the game, in order to avoid too many game cycles and facilitate team management.

There is no world ranking in this shitty competition, and no one cares who is ranked No. [-], [-], [-], [-], or [-].

A total of eight fucking teams are playing in the quarter-finals. Who are you going to show the meaningless upper and lower halves?

What is the use?

Hurry up and play a few rounds to decide the champion and it's over?
What's the point of making such a complicated picture?

It's purely fucking superfluous.

The top four teams in the group soon sent representatives to the stage.

There is no doubt that Bei Bei appeared on the side of the Tang Sect, and Mu Xue on the side of the Snow Demon Sect, both of them were acquaintances.

Qian Chaoguang from the Holy Spirit Sect and the Proud Sword Sect did not know each other.

All the teams couldn't help but tense up.

Of the four teams, only Snow Demon Sect and Proud Sword Sect were the weakest.

Tang Sect's first team of three soul emperors is quite strong.

The Holy Spirit Cult was something that the other three teams didn't want to meet. Their shots were too harsh, and every time their opponents were either killed or disabled.

Only Qian Zhaoguang was different from everyone else in terms of nervousness.

He is now meditating in his mouth: Bless the God of Light and the God of Immortality, I will bless myself, I must draw the Holy Spirit Cult, I must draw the Holy Spirit Cult.
The first is the lottery partition.

"Tang Sect, the upper half."

"Holy Spirit Sect, the lower half."

"Snow Demon Sect, the lower half."

"Proud Sword Sect, the upper half."

Naturally, some people are happy and some are worried about the results of these divisions.

The lower half, which has both the Holy Spirit Sect and the Noumenon Sect, will undoubtedly become the death group.

"The draw for the quarterfinals will be held next, and the first Tang Sect to be shortlisted for the quarterfinals will be the first to draw."

Beibei raised her hand to draw, and after taking out the lottery, she glanced at it briefly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"The one drawn by the Tang Sect is the Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy team."

The faces of the Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy team turned green.

Next, the second draw was Proud Sword Sect, also in the upper half.

At this time, Qian Zhaoguang really became nervous.

With a probability of one-third, it shouldn't be a draw, right?

If he is really drawn by the Proud Sword Sect, whether he can win the championship is a trivial matter, but it will be really uncomfortable if he cannot kill people from the Holy Spirit Sect openly.

"The opponent of the eighth team that Proud Sword Sect belongs to is the Tianlongmen team!"

Hearing about the Tianlongmen team, Qian Chaoguang was overjoyed on the spot and heaved a sigh of relief.

The first half of the lottery ended, and the only ones that were not drawn were Shrek and the Xingluo National Academy team.

This also means that no matter what the result of the next lottery is, Shrek will definitely be able to bump into the Holy Spirit Cult before the final.

This is exactly what Qian Chaoguang likes to hear.

However, after being the team leader of Star Luo National Academy for a long time, her complexion is not so good.

In the lower half area, there is not only the Holy Spirit Sect, but also the Shrek team led by a monster like Qian Chaoguang, and the Noumenon Sect team in the shell of the Snow Demon Sect.

No matter which of these three teams, they cannot be defeated by their Star Luo National Academy team.

This also means that their journey in this competition has come to an end.

"Next, the Holy Spirit Sect will draw lots."

"The opponent of the Holy Spirit Sect is the Star Luo National Academy team."

Hearing this result, Jiu Jiujiu's expression changed, and his heart felt even colder.

She no longer cares about whether she can win, she only cares about whether her team members can return to the Star Luo Empire safely.

There is no doubt that there will be no draw for the last game.

What Shrek will face in the quarter-finals is the Ontology Sect team led by Wei Na.

Blessed, but not quite blessed.

This is also a good lottery, Qian Chaoguang just wanted to fight against that Long Aotian in the Noumenon Sect.

Except for not being able to hit the Holy Spirit Cult in the first round, the lottery ceremony ended perfectly.

"After the lottery is drawn, the quarter-finals will be held the day after tomorrow. In the morning is the competition for the upper half, and for the afternoon is the competition for the lower half. All teams, please prepare well. The competition is at the last moment. For you, every game is very important. It is crucial and I wish you all the best."

After the lottery was over, the officials left one after another, and the eight teams also walked towards the outside of the banquet hall.

"Qian Zhaoguang."

A pleasant voice sounded.

Qian Zhaoguang turned his head and saw Mu Xue and Wei Na walking over together.

Wei Na said regretfully: "I really didn't expect to meet you in the quarterfinals. This is really a big draw for us."

"Why did Princess Wei Na say that?" Qian Zhaoguang smiled slightly, "I've heard about Long Aotian of the noble sect for a long time, the awakening of a silver-ranked martial soul is completely different from that of Xiao Hongchen's parallel medicine soul sage. "

Wei Na showed a wry smile, and turned her gaze to Huo Yutong: "Farewell, I don't think your sister is much worse than Long Aotian. What's more, apart from you two, the girl named Qiu'er The girl is really not weak, and Brother Caitou is the number one fighter in the fortress."

Qian Zhaoguang returned a smile again, and at the same time passed a meaningful look: "The competition is meant to exchange ideas, and everyone has a chance, so let us compete with all our strength. I only hope that this competition will not It’s what affects our friendships with each other. After all, we’re still partners, aren’t we?”

Wei Na understood immediately, and extended her right hand politely: "May our cooperation go smoothly and our friendship last forever."

"must."

The two hands were tightly held together, shaking up and down.

Their masters just stood in the enemy's chassis majesticly and plotted loudly, showing a tacit smile.

As the competition continued, the number of Mingyue Hotel's internal teams became smaller and smaller.

Most of the teams that have finished the competition chose to leave.

After all, for them, this is a sad place.

At the same time, some teams who are not discouraged by this also want to choose to stay and continue watching the game. This is a rare opportunity and a great opportunity to learn and improve.

However, many times their wishes are not well implemented and realized.

After all the teams from Douluo Three Kingdoms are eliminated, there will be members from Tianhun, Xingluo, and Shrek to connect with them and have secret talks with their team leaders.

No one knows what they said.

But after each negotiation, these teams basically evacuated Mingdu quickly along the special route provided by several parties at the fastest speed, and rushed towards their own territory without looking back.

On the bright side, these teams just hid in a corner of Mingdu after the game, and then disappeared.

Regarding this situation, Xu Tianran, who was kept in the dark, felt at a loss when he heard his subordinates' reports every day, and he was really confused.

The feeling that the situation was out of control became stronger and stronger, which always made him feel inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

Of course, not all teams will listen to persuasion.

For these teams that did not listen to persuasion, these joint personnel did not take any coercive measures, but just asked them to sign a contract and videotape it before going to other people.

The four parties have already reached a consensus on this situation - good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost, if something happens later, you will be at your own risk, and no one will come back to save you.

At that time, if you are really caught by the Sun Moon Empire, don't think about kidnapping with morality later.

You have signed the contract yourself, we have persuaded you, and we will do our best if we can. It is you who do not want to leave, and any result has nothing to do with us.

Because it has to be separated from the Continental Young Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition in terms of time, the final of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition is scheduled for the second day after the former semi-final.

Nine people from three parties will participate in the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition, and the final form of the competition will still be carried out in the same way as before.

Qian Chaoguang is going to use these few days to sharpen his guns before the battle, and then he will give those people a hard job on the field, let them know what "my lord, the times have changed".

The two days of recuperation gave the top eight teams a chance to breathe.

Every team is seizing the time for final improvement and finishing.

With the coming of the quarterfinals, the entire Mingdu city was already bustling early in the morning.

Before dawn, a large number of spectators had poured out of the city in order to occupy a better viewing position.

There will be four games in a row in one day, all of which are strong duels, any one of which is enough to feast the eyes of all audiences.

Therefore, there were a lot of Sun and Moon people who came to watch the game today, finally showing the Sun and Moon Empire's home field advantage.

When the sun was rising, those teams representing the strongest level of the young generation in today's world walked out of the city under the protection of a human wall composed of many soldiers.

It is not just the four teams that participated in the morning that went to the competition venue.

Shrek, the Holy Spirit Sect, the Noumenon Sect, and the Star Luo National Academy team for the afternoon game also came early.

During the round robin, they don't have to watch other people's games, just play their own and finish the job.

But when it comes to the quarterfinals, it becomes extremely important to understand the threat of potential opponents as much as possible.

Even Shrek who has a lot of information is no exception.

Whether it's witnessing the battle with your own eyes or adapting to the atmosphere of the game as soon as possible, this is what should be done.

Probably only the two volume kings, Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong, complained about this.

One couldn't cultivate Ziji Demon Eye, and the other was interrupted from the morning exercise that Thunderbolt had insisted on for decades, which made both brothers and sisters feel a little uncomfortable.

When everyone from Shrek came to the competition venue, the Tangmen team and their opponent, the Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy team, were already warming up.

Being in the upper half, the Tang Sect will undoubtedly be the first to appear.

Today's weather is good, the bright sun shines on the earth, bringing everyone a happy and good mood.

Qian Chaoguang didn't know if the others were excited or not, but he could tell that Xiao Xiao, who was appointed in the rest area of ​​the Tang Sect, was very excited.

This little girl did not know where to pull out a giant soul guide cannon taller than her, and now she was holding a piece of cloth with great joy to polish the dark cannon barrel.

Seeing this extremely strange scene, Qian Zhaoguang suddenly realized something.

It seems that no matter what creature comes into contact with itself or the people around it, the style of painting will gradually become distorted.

Look, how did this little loli, who was originally good and quiet by herself, now become a proper violent person?

Caitou, Big Goose, Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Luoli, Ling Luochen
Even Electrolux and Xuan Ziwen
Oh!
The reason why the painting styles of the undead creatures who co-authored are getting more and more crooked is that I am the boss!

That's fine!

After everyone entered the rest area, He Caitou, who was following behind the team, touched his big bald head that was also reflective, and passed away with a smile, pointing and explaining something to Xiao Xiao.

Now Qian Zhaoguang knew that He Caitou was supposed to sneak this thing into her.

also walked past
No, they came over, and there was another person that Qian Chaoguang didn't expect——Wang Dong.

Wang Dong walked up to Qiu'er who was slightly in a daze. The sun shone on Qiu'er's golden hair, rippling the color of glass.

Similar faces, slightly different ages, two diametrically opposed temperaments of aloofness, maturity and joyful escape, and completely opposite figure comparisons.

Such a strong sense of contrast formed by such different beauties standing there is a beautiful painting in itself.

Wang Dongzi hugged Qiu'er happily, and rubbed against Fang Wei'an's chest: "Sister Qiu'er, you are here!"

Qiu'er, who had just reacted, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, showing a slight look of disgust, and pretended to be calm and let out a "hmm" with her nose.

"Hey, I knew Sister Qiu'er would come to cheer me on, don't worry, watching this girl perform this time, I'm sure they'll give me a lot of beatings."

".Um."

"Oh, sister Qiu'er, don't push me, let me hug you for a while."

Qian Chaoguang stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded.

Although he had just made mental preparations for whether the painting styles of these two would be crooked.

But now, this scene is happening right in front of my eyes, this kind of frightening excitement is really amazing
It is really.
I don't know how to describe it in words!

It can be said that when the book is used, I hate it less, but now I can only lie on it endlessly.

No, when did they get together? ? ?

Is this emotional progress so fast! ?

Qian Zhaoguang quickly took a sip of cold drink to calm down his shock, and nudged Huo Yutong who was also watching the show with his elbow.

"Hey, what do you say about the two of them?"

"I strongly suspect that the two of them have some ulterior secret."

Huo Yutong broke a large piece of watermelon in his hand into two pieces with a bang, handed one piece to Qian Chaoguang, and took another bite himself.

"There's a good chance that some of the goose's orientations are really not right."

"You don't mean"

"The two of them definitely have love for Ji."

"Fuck, is it true?"

"You have to trust me, brother, this is a woman's intuition. In your words, what is it called? Oh yes, the orange is very good. I will tell you secretly, I suspect that night between Qiu'er and the big goose"

"Shhhhh, I understand, I understand, if I continue talking, I may not be able to pass the trial."

"Hmm? Why can't you pass the trial, brother, what are you talking about?"

"Ahem. It's nothing. I'm going to watch a show, and eat melons and melons. So what, this melon is quite sweet."

"...but you just took a bite of the melon rind."

".I have good teeth."

At this joyful moment of eating melons, the members of each team have basically arrived, even the members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

They are still so mysterious, all shrouded in black clothes.

Wearing all black while basking in the sun, he deserves to be the owner of the dark spirit, but he is not afraid of the heat.

In the rest area, although the number of people still existing is far less than that at the beginning, the tension in the atmosphere is even greater.

Especially the teams that are going to fight against each other today, there is a bit of a needle tip feeling between each other.

I'm afraid that only Shrek and Tangmen, who have absolute confidence in their own strength, can be so relaxed and happy.

On the rostrum, the regent Xu Tianran arrived early.

Orange sat down next to him and brought him a cup of tea.

Xu Tianran took a sip of tea, and asked Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, on the other side: "Master Hongchen, how is your grandson doing?"

Jing Hongchen leaned forward slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. With Douluo, the imperial doctor you sent, to treat him, his condition has become much more stable. It's just that many organs, bones, and meridians have been injured. Recovery, I am afraid it will take at least a year or so."

Xu Tianran sighed softly: "As long as there are no sequelae, he is the future pillar of the empire. Please also tell Xiao Hongchen that one failure doesn't mean anything."

"Failure is the mother of success. It is precisely because of the painful experience of failure that their future path will be smoother. I believe that one day, they will be able to defeat those people from Shrek Academy."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Jing Hongchen responded.

He was visibly haggard during this time.

The fiasco of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy put him under a lot of pressure, and many ministers have already submitted memorials to impeach him.

It's okay to be the second child for so many years, but this time they didn't even qualify for the group stage in the game at home. This is simply a great shame for the empire.

Xiao Hongchen's injury was very serious.

As the emperor sword with the most explosive power among the snow emperor's three unique skills, it is already a miracle to be able to recover a life when it cooperates with Xue Wu's extreme ice field.

If Xu Tianran hadn't sent the only Healing Title Douluo in the Sun Moon Empire in time, I'm afraid Xiao Hongchen would have passed the first seven by now.

Xu Tianran's support stabilized Jing Hongchen's position.

But Jing Hongchen knew in his heart that there would never be a free lunch in this world.

After all kinds of incidents, he has been completely branded as Xu Tianran's side. If there is no accident, the future can only work for him forever.

Jing Hongchen has long been aware of the ruthless tactics of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the current Regent.

Following such a moody future monarch, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
In this different atmosphere, the first match between Tangmen and Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy quietly kicked off.

Um.
It didn't take long after the opening and then the curtain call.

Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy is really a bit weak.

Except for the sun girl named Xu Tian, ​​the rest of the players can only be described by one word.

The Tang Sect had already won the game without even having a team battle.

The first game of the quarterfinals ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

Also in the upper half, the second game is the duel between Proud Sword Sect and Tianlongmen.

This game can be regarded as you come and go, every move is very lively.
