National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

night.

Xu Shisan continued his cultivation in the room.

No one dared to disturb him.

Today's match was a truly shocking experience for all the major powers in the Southwest Commandery.

Xu Shisan is more than just pretending to be weak; he's pretending to be weak to take advantage of a dragon!
Damn it, it can even summon SSS-level summons, and not just any ordinary SSS-level summons.

Nobody would believe this if I told them!

Of course, just because others dare not disturb him doesn't mean Li Anan dares not disturb him.

That night, Li Anan still pestered Xu Shisan to stop him from cultivating, and instead made him cultivate with him.

Inside the palace.

Tonight, even Empress Li Ruotong is not idle.

Tomorrow is the semi-finals. If they can't eliminate the Black Robe Squad from the Demon Realm, it will be a matter of honor for the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Empress Li Ruotong and her ministers gathered the Imperial Guard squad and the Imperial Army squad together to discuss strategies for dealing with the black-robed men's squad the next day.

the next day.

Today is a crucial day.

It is the final five-way battle of the Dynasty Championship, and also the semi-finals.

Originally, there were only four teams in the semifinals, but Empress Li Ruotong suddenly changed the competition rules yesterday.

Originally, the top 12 teams were to advance to the top 8, but this was changed to advance to the top 9.

The original plan of advancing from the quarterfinals to the semifinals was changed to advancing from the quarterfinals to the semifinals from the nine finalists to the five finalists.

The remaining five teams are the Demon Realm Black Robe Squad, the Imperial Dynasty Team One, the Imperial Guard Squad, the Xuanhuang Sect, and the Tianbei Academy.

When Xu Shisan followed Lord Mu back into the dueling arena, it was still packed with people and bustling with activity. The semi-finals, which everyone had been eagerly anticipating, had finally arrived.

As Empress Li Ruotong arrived on the high platform, she completely ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

With the referee Elder Huang taking the stage, the five-way battle officially began.

"Now, we invite the five teams to come to the referee's table to draw lots."

When it came time for the lottery, Wu Junchi was the one from Tianbei College to draw lots.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether there's a lottery or not, because Empress Li Ruotong had already arranged everything in secret.

Tianbei Academy drew the Imperial Guard Team 1, and Xuanhuang Sect drew the Imperial Dynasty Team 1.

The black-robed team from the Demon Realm had no entries.

To advance from this round with no draws, they must defeat the other two eliminated teams.

What do you mean?

After the four teams led by Xu Shisan finish their matches, two teams will win and two will lose.

The Black-Robed Team from the Demon Realm must defeat the other two defeated teams to advance to the finals.

This was also a rule that Empress Li Ruotong specifically changed.

Soon, the game begins.

Referee Elder Huang announced on the arena: "Next, please welcome Tianbei Academy and the Imperial Guard Squad to the stage."

Xu Shisan was naturally still alone.

However, before Xu Shisan could even step onto the arena, Elder Huang said to him, "Well, the Imperial Guard team has voluntarily conceded defeat, and Tianbei Academy has won."

"What?"

Xu Shisan was somewhat bewildered.

What does this mean?

Why did they give up before even fighting?
However, Xu Shisan glanced at Empress Li Ruotong on the high platform and immediately understood everything.

So that's what she was planning. Apart from Xu Shisan, the others seemed to understand the Empress's meaning as well.

If I'm not mistaken, in the next round of the competition, Xuanhuang Sect will face Huangchao Team One, and Huangchao Team One should also concede defeat.

"Next, please welcome the Xuanhuang Sect and the Imperial Dynasty team to the stage."

Before the Xuanhuang Sect team even stepped onto the arena, Elder Huang announced, "The Imperial Dynasty Team voluntarily concedes defeat, and the Xuanhuang Sect wins."

As expected, the Dynasty team also conceded defeat.

Empress Li Ruotong wanted the Imperial Army squad and the Imperial Guard squad to work together to deal with the black-robed men squad from the Demon Realm!
Because, in order for the Black Robe Squad of the Demon Realm to successfully enter the finals, they must defeat two teams in a row!

Imperial Guard Squad and Imperial Dynasty Squad One!
Seeing this, the audience members in the stands looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although doing so is somewhat unfair.

But this is still much better than the Black Robe Squad from Demon Realm making it to the finals.

If the Black Robe Squad from Demon Realm really makes it to the finals, it's like they're taking a dump on the neck of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, Empress Li Ruotong wanted to nip it in the bud during the semi-finals.

"Now, please welcome the Xuan Ye team, who drew an empty lot, to the stage."

The Xuan Ye Squad is also known as the Black-Robed Squad of the Demon Realm.

The leader of the black-robed men smiled coldly, and then led the other four black-robed men onto the stage.

"Next, we invite the Imperial Dynasty Team One and the Imperial Guard Team to the referee's stand to draw lots to determine the order of the battles."

The Imperial Guard Team and the Imperial Army Squad sent people to the referee's table to draw lots.

The Imperial Dynasty team drew number one, meaning they would be the first to face the Demon Realm Black Robe Team.

Soon, the Royal Dynasty team stepped onto the arena.

Seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men looked at Li Ruotong on the high platform and smiled coldly: "Your Majesty, you really think highly of us, actually sending the two most elite teams of your Great Xia to challenge us one after another."

"Of course, I don't care."

"However, there is one thing I am curious about. If I inflict heavy casualties on Her Majesty's two most elite squads, I wonder if Her Majesty would feel distressed?"

"Be bold!"

Referee Elder Huang couldn't help but shout angrily, "You thief from the Demon Realm, you're far too arrogant! You dare to speak so shamelessly before the battle has even begun!"

"Shameless talk?"

The black-robed man at the head of the group gave a cold laugh.

"Since your Great Xia is so confident in your team, how about we have a life-or-death battle?"

"On this arena, there is no talk of victory or defeat, only life and death!"

"At crucial moments, your referees and others from Great Xia are not allowed to intervene, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the dueling arena was stunned.

These thieves from the Demon Realm want to fight to the death!
Without a second thought, Huangchao Team's captain, Shen Guolong, immediately replied, "Alright, a life-or-death battle it is! Let's go!"

They were all hot-blooded men, all geniuses chosen from among hundreds. Naturally, the few members of the Imperial Dynasty team were not afraid!
However, Empress Li Ruotong frowned.

The people from the Demon Realm dared to say such a thing, so they must have come prepared. Empress Li Ruotong was not going to fall for their trick.

However, if they refuse, it would indicate that the Great Xia is afraid of them, which would only embolden the other party.

After a moment of deep thought, Empress Li Ruotong replied, "It is possible, but a life-or-death battle is not like this. I can ask the referee not to intervene, but if one side chooses to concede, the referee has the right to intervene."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the black-robed men smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you afraid? Afraid that I will kill your beloved people?"

"Afraid? What a joke! I'm afraid I'll beat you all to death!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, we are not afraid of death."

"Alright, enough with the useless chatter, let's get started!"

Empress Li Ruotong, of course, wouldn't fall for her trap. (End of Chapter)
