National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

the next day.

After another night of frenzy, Li Anan was still not satisfied and, even as dawn broke, he still clung to Xu Shisan, unwilling to leave.

Li Anan secretly left just before the competition was about to begin.

After getting up, Xu Shisan once again followed Lord Mu and the others to the Imperial Duel Arena.

Today is a crucial match between the top twelve and the top eight, and between the top eight and the semifinals.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators from the Great Xia Dynasty arrived at the arena early to wait.

As Lord Mu led the team from the Southwest Prefecture to arrive, the contestants' seats were filled with people.

Today's match is a crucial one, both in the semifinals and before the finals.

Soon, Empress Li Ruotong also arrived at the dueling arena.

With the arrival of Empress Li Ruotong, the referee Elder Huang didn't waste any words and announced, "I now declare that the twelfth round of the knockout stage of this Dynasty Championship is now beginning!"

"slow!"

At this moment, Li Ruotong, who was on the high platform, interrupted Elder Huang.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the high platform.

They didn't understand why Her Majesty the Queen had interrupted Elder Huang, the referee.

"Before today's match begins, I have something to announce."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Her Majesty the Queen has something to announce. What is it?

Amidst the crowd's confusion, a eunuch on the high platform read aloud the imperial edict: "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I present the late Emperor's edict, which should have been discussed by the ministers. Therefore, I hereby amend the semi-final advancement rules for this year's Imperial Dynasty Championship."

"Originally, the top 12 were to be divided into 8, but now it has been changed to the top 12 to be divided into 9. In the revival round, it was originally 6 to be divided into 2, but now it has been changed to 6 to be divided into 3."

"In the finals and semi-finals, there will be an extra empty draw. The team that draws an empty draw in the finals will receive a bye and advance directly."

"If you draw a blank spot in the semifinals, you need to defeat all the teams that failed to advance in order to advance."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the dueling arena exchanged bewildered glances.

Is this a temporary change to the rule?

As for this rule, why does it seem a bit strange?

It seems to be targeting a specific team.

Regardless, the competition must continue.

The remaining twelve teams went to the referee's table to draw lots.

Wu Junchi was the one who went to draw lots on behalf of Tianbei Academy, and he returned very quickly.

This time, Wu Junchi drew number 6, which was also the last draw.

Then, the competition began.

"Now, please welcome the two teams that drew the first draw to the stage."

The two teams that drew the number 1 spot are Dynasty Team 1 and Dynasty Team 2.

The second team of the Dynasty also conceded defeat without hesitation.

The teams that drew number 2 were the Imperial Guard Squad and the East River County Military District Squad.

The Donghe Military Region squad also decisively admitted defeat.

The teams that drew number 3 were the Skyfire Squad and the Black-Robed Man from Demon Realm Squad.

The Skyfire Squad conceded defeat once again.

The team that drew number 4 was Xuanli Sect and Xihe Military Region squad.

Neither team surrendered; instead, they fought an incredibly fierce battle. The Xihe Military Region squad was very strong, boasting four SS-level summoners, making them roughly equal in strength to the Skyfire Academy.

However, Xuanli also has four SS-level summoners, and Xuanli Sect was the third place in the previous Dynasty Championship.

This year's Xuanli Sect team was also very strong, narrowly defeating the Xihe Military Region squad.

The teams that drew number 5 were the Nanhe Military Region team and the Beihe Military Region team.

Both teams have four SS-level summoners, demonstrating their formidable strength.

It's clear that the military district squads in each prefecture are all exceptionally strong.

Of the twelve strong teams, five were from military regions alone—they were ridiculously strong.

The military district squads of the four major prefectures of Donghe, Xihe, Nanhe, and Beihe are each led by four SS-level summoners.

This is the source of confidence for the four major prefectures besides the imperial capital.

In the end, the Nanhe Military Region team had a slight advantage, defeating the Beihe Military Region team and successfully advancing.

Finally, there's Tianbei Academy, where Xu Shisan is located, and the Xuanhuang Sect team!

Unfortunately, Xu Shisan drew the Xuanhuang Sect, the runner-up team in the previous Dynasty Championship!
The team second only to the Dynasty team!

The entire team consists of SS-rank summoners!

Although the Xuanhuang Sect lost to the black-robed men's team from the Demon Realm in the previous rounds, they managed to force out the Demon Realm's trump card and bring out the second Demon Lord Giant.

As Xuanhuangzong took the stage, Xu Shisan also slowly walked onto the arena alone.

Seeing Xu Shisan all alone, the audience in the arena were all hoping that this dark horse who had fought his way out of the first round could defeat the Xuanhuang Sect.

However, the vast majority of viewers were in the negative.

Xu Shisan is very strong, extremely strong; he can even easily defeat Tianhuo Academy.

His summoned beasts can not only fuse, but he also has nearly ten SS-level summoned beasts, which is almost like having a cheat code.

However, on the other hand, even if this kid's summoned beast really has a cheat code, the dimensional energy in his sea of ​​consciousness is still limited, right?
Many people could see from the previous round that although Xu Shisan did summon nine SS-level summoned beasts and easily defeated Tianhuo Academy, he was clearly exhausted after the competition, and the dimensional energy in his sea of ​​consciousness was clearly depleted.

Many people have noticed this.

If the Xuanhuang Sect were to engage in a protracted war with Xu Shisan and withstand the relentless bombardment of those nine SS-level summoned beasts, then Xu Shisan would undoubtedly be defeated.

The Xuanhuang Sect team was also very clear about this.

Therefore, the Xuanhuang Squad summoned their members after the match began.

Captain Zhang Mingjie summoned his SS-level contracted beast, the Sun and Moon Dragon God.

Vice Captain Liu Dongbao summoned his SS-level contracted beast, the Mountain God.

Team member Zhao Xiaofan summoned his SS-level contracted beast, the Tianshan Blazing Bird.

Team member Qian Dalong summoned his SS-class contracted beast, Energy Cannon God.

Team member Niu Shier summoned his SS-level contracted beast, Crystal Wall Monster.

After the summoning was complete, Captain Zhang Mingjie said to Xu Shisan, "Brother, I know you are very strong, extremely strong, possessing incredible abilities and many powerful summoned beasts that others envy."

"However, one person's strength is ultimately limited. I think you should conserve your strength and try to advance in this round of the revival competition."

Zhang Mingjie's meaning was simple: he wanted Xu Shisan to surrender and admit defeat, so that Xu could focus on the revival match later.

The implication was that Xu Shisan couldn't beat them.

Xu Shisan simply smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't have the habit of admitting defeat."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingjie smiled. He didn't mean to belittle Xu Shisan, but since the other party was unwilling to admit defeat, he had no choice but to take action.

"In that case, brother, please make your move!"

Xu Shisan didn't hesitate and immediately performed the summoning. (End of Chapter)
