Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 280 Xu Jiujiu: You are so brave!

The next morning, the competition system was finally announced, and each participating team received a description of the competition system from the organizing committee.

Is there any difference compared to the past?
Of course there is, and the difference is huge.

According to the competition system, the entire competition is divided into two stages: the preliminary round and the final round. The clan representative team and the college representative team are all mixed to participate. This preliminary round is the previous knockout round.

The first and foremost of these is that the scoring method for the individual elimination rounds has changed and will be calculated based on the remaining number of players.

That is to say, if one team can defeat seven opponents in the individual elimination match, they can count seven points based on the remaining seven kills, and the team match can be skipped. Because the team match only has five points, there is no way to turn the tables.

Therefore, if the winning team fails to obtain more than five points in the individual elimination round, then a team competition is inevitable.

Because of this, the opponent has a chance to turn the tables.

Of course, small scores are equally important. When encountering some special situations, these small scores play a decisive role.

For example, there are a total of 167 participating teams. When they enter the top 32, only about 20 teams will advance directly through the knockout stage. The remaining teams that need to be supplemented will be supplemented by teams with higher scores. And in the round-robin tournament to enter the top 32, points are even more important. The group stage will be ranked according to points. In the final quarterfinals, although the knockout stage will be restored, the points will also determine the ranking of the losing team.

This change in scoring is obviously beneficial, making the entire competition system more complete and orderly. Therefore, the forces of the four empires actually have no objection to this.

But another change in the competition system caused an uproar.

It can only be said that even though the original Douluo Empire teams had anticipated this, they were still caught off guard by this almost rogue rule, which undoubtedly changed the flavor of the knockout round.

"Come on! Tell me! What does unlimited height mean?"

Wu Feng slapped the paper with the competition rules written on it onto the table, "No height limit! Isn't this just pure hooliganism? In my opinion, the Sun-Moon Empire is blatantly taking sides!"

"That is, what do you mean by unlimited height?"

With Wu Feng taking the lead, the others also vented their dissatisfaction with this competition system one by one. "This unlimited altitude flight, in theory, can only be achieved by flying martial spirit masters, soul saints and soul ancestor-level soul masters with flying soul guides. But the former two are rare! They can only rely on flying soul guides, but powerful flying soul guides are probably only available in the major forces of the Sun Moon Empire."

Dugu Xin flipped through the competition rules with a gloomy expression.

His poison was limited in scope. According to the previous competition system, as long as there was no strong countermeasure against the poison, he could go on the field alone and poison all the contestants.

But once the height is not restricted, even if he can catch up, the opponent can escape from the range of the poisonous fog by lowering or raising the altitude.

This undoubtedly destroyed half of his methods.

"All right."

"Boom boom boom——"

Chen Junting, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. As he tapped the table with his fingers, everyone in the Jiubao team suddenly quieted down.

"What we should do now is not to complain."

He raised the competition system in his hand and said, "This is the dominance of the Sun-Moon Empire as the strongest country on the continent. No matter how you protest, the competition system will not be easily changed. In this case, you might as well focus on how to win the competition."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, do you have enough flying soul guides? Exclusive ones would be best."

"Have."

Huo Yuhao responded confidently.

As early as when he was in the sect, he had been working hard to make exclusive flying soul guides for everyone. Even for Ning Feng, who joined temporarily, he made a flying soul guide based on the characteristics of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul King, just in case during the competition.

"it is good."

After taking a closer look at the approximate position of the sun and realizing that the agreed time was approaching, Chen Junting said nothing more.

After all, they had already discussed the arrangements for the next members to participate in the competition in yesterday's meeting.

What they had to do now was to formulate tactics based on the changed competition system. However, Ning Tian and Chen Junting tacitly handed this task to Huo Yuhao, who was temporarily in charge.

After that, he will be so busy that he won't be able to stop.

"Old Gu, give me a ride."

"where?"

Chen Junting walked to the door of the conference room, but before he could put his hand on it, a black hole appeared in front of him.

"No. 007, Kaixuan Street, Central District."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was swallowed up by the void gate and disappeared.

At the same time, No. 007 Kaixuan Street, Central District.

As the capital of the most powerful empire on the continent, every inch of land in Mingdu is worth a lot of money. The land in the central area is even more valuable. Anyone who can live here is either rich or noble.

But this does not prevent the fact that among these wealthy and noble people there are spies from other countries and some even serve as officials in the Sun and Moon Empire.

And this house No. 007 is the residence of the spy, and it is also one of the bases of the Xingluo Empire's activities in Mingdu.

Inside the door, a black hole slowly opened.

As soon as Chen Junting took a step forward, a silent attack suddenly came from the side, but was quickly blocked by a bone spur.

At the same time, a figure came in front of Chen Junting, looked at him warily, and then asked: "Who are you?"

Without waiting for a response, Gu Tianchen poked his head out.

"Then I'll go back first."

"sorry to bother you."

"Brother, you still say this."

The Void Gate disappeared, Chen Junting showed his identity token and handed it to the man in front of him, "I'm here for the meeting."

After confirming Chen Junting's identity, "Please come in."

Chen Junting pushed open the inner door and saw a spacious living room filled with mostly ordinary old men and old ladies, with only two beautiful young girls: Zhang Lexuan and Xu Jiujiu.

However, it is this group of old men and old ladies who can shock any country with just a stomp of their feet. Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, Body Douluo Du Busi, Sky Blue Douluo Zhiyong, Divine Eagle Douluo Song Yunzhi, Sky Sun Douluo...

There are several elderly people sitting here, and basically none of them are below level 95.

Except for an old woman from the Xingluo Empire.

"Boy, come and sit down."

Du Bu Si, who was sitting in a majestic posture, spoke first when he saw Chen Junting coming.

At Zhiyong's signal, Chen Junting came and sat down next to Zhang Lexuan and Xu Jiujiu, greeted them and said nothing.

"In this case, everyone is here, right?"

"Okay, no more nonsense."

As soon as Xuan Zi opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Du Bu Si with a look of contempt, "You are the leader of the Sea God Pavilion, and you are still pretending."

"That was done by a proxy! A proxy! Cough cough—" After a roar, Xuan Zi realized that now was not the time to argue. He gave a dry cough and quickly got to the point.

After mentioning the Holy Spirit Church's participation in the competition, he talked about the plan to assassinate Xu Tianran. After all, the people present had long known that the Sun Moon Royal Family and the Holy Spirit Church were in cahoots.

However, in order to assassinate Xu Tianran, we must first understand the top combat power of both sides and what the specific situation is.

"Old Tianyang, you're the only one among your Douling Spirits?"

As soon as he organized his own combat power, Du Bu Si immediately targeted Tian Yang Douluo. Because up to now, there seemed to be no news of other titles from the Douling Empire in Mingdu.

"Alas, it's just me."

Tianyang Douluo sighed helplessly, "From the beginning to the end, our Douling Empire had no intention of participating in this assassination. Even my coming here this time was my private decision."

"Are all the high-ranking officials of your Douling Empire good-for-nothings? So short-sighted?"

Not only is Du Bu Si’s martial soul poisonous, his mouth is also poisonous.

His straightforward words successfully made Tianyang Douluo's face darken.

But the fact is this, what can he refute?
Xuan Zi, who was standing by, saw that although there was only one person from the Douling Empire, he was at least the strongest 97 Super Douluo in the country. So he set his sights on Xu Jiujiu.

Because right now in this living room, the only one belonging to the Xing Luo Empire is Xu Jiujiu, and there is a Level 92 Titled Douluo who is protecting her - Manyi.

"Jiujiu girl, Mr. Xu is not here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Jiujiu suddenly showed a hint of sadness.

When everyone saw this, they immediately understood what was going on.

After all, a few years ago, Mr. Xu had already reached the end of his life. Now that he had passed away due to old age, it was not difficult to accept.

It’s a pity that the Xingluo Empire lost a patron saint, and their three empires lost a powerful super Douluo.

"Alas, girl, I'm sorry."

After a final calculation, there were more than a dozen Title Douluo who could participate in the assassination mission of Xu Tianran, and the number of Super Douluo was close to half of the total.

However, even so, they were still unsure.

After all, the two Extreme Douluos of the Holy Spirit Church could make them return in defeat, and maybe they could keep them here by joining forces with others. Fortunately, these two were not only seriously injured but also had a promise that Di Tian had not yet fulfilled.

only…

"They also have two helpers with extreme combat power."

The word "poison cannot kill" points out the most crucial point.

"Don't worry about this. As the ruler of the Demonic Forest, the Evil Emperor would not easily take action even if he cooperated, let alone protect a human being. As for the other existence..."

Having said this, Xuan Zi paused slightly.

As for the deep-sea demon whale, it’s really hard to say.

Because it is a soul beast, its strength is really a mystery. After all, there is a gap between the limits, just like Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui compared to the Beast God Emperor Tian.

So Xuan Zi turned his gaze to Chen Junting.

Everyone turned their eyes over in unison.

Facing the gazes of many Super Douluo, Chen Junting remained calm and composed, "Don't worry, seniors. If the Deep Sea Demon Whale really makes a move, I will also ask Senior Di Tian to help. After all, I don't want to miss out on the spirit ring and spirit bone of a soul beast with extreme combat power when I reach level 90 in the future."

"but…"

Just when everyone thought Chen Junting agreed and breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly changed the subject, "Actually, compared to the seniors' idea of ​​assassinating Xu Tianran to delay the war, I don't really agree with this method."

Xu Jiujiu froze when he heard this and asked immediately.

"Won't this method work?"

You know, this method was proposed by her.

“The error tolerance is too low and the effect is not good.”

Chen Junting showed no mercy and pointed out several flaws directly. "First, although the launch of a war is based on the will of the monarch, it is more of a tool and means to achieve political goals. In other words, the decision to start a war is more due to the operation of the entire imperial machine. Even if the emperor really changes, the war probably won't be delayed."

"Secondly, apart from the Holy Spirit Church, we don't know anything about Xu Tianran. First, is there any similar worshiper in the palace? Second, what level of cultivation does Xu Tianran have around him? Third, what level of cultivation is Xu Tianran himself? Soul Saint? Soul Douluo? Or... Titled Douluo?"

After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but hesitate.

Zhang Lexuan, in particular, frowned deeply, because in this plan, she was responsible for the task of assassinating Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

If Xu Tianran was really a Titled Douluo, it would be difficult for her to kill him with one blow and escape far away.

If that's the case, what should she do?
Everyone's worries and Zhang Lexuan's thoughts did not stop Chen Junting from talking.

He continued, "If Xu Tianran had devoted himself to taking drugs to improve his cultivation, it would not be impossible for him to reach the level of a Titled Douluo. Although he is weak, he is still a Titled Douluo. What's more, Xu Tianran definitely has a top-level defensive soul guide."

"If the assassination attempt fails, Xu Tianran will use it as an excuse to incite the people of the Sun Moon Empire. This will only give Xu Tianran a legitimate reason to act, which is not worth it at all."

This…

After listening to Chen Junting's analysis, everyone fell silent.

It sounds like this is indeed the case.

But what if we don’t do this?
After a long time, Xu Jiujiu spoke up and broke the silence.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Since you said her plan didn't work, you have to come up with a plan too.

Otherwise, the original plan must go ahead no matter what.

After all, with so many Titled Douluo coming here ready to take action, they can't just wander around and do nothing.

"I?"

Chen Junting crossed his hands and clasped them together.

Although his method cannot be said to be wise, it should be better than the original plan.

"Yesterday, I asked Yuhao to look for Mingdu's granary and gunpowder depot during the competition. So I plan to..."

Chen Junting did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts clearly.

As everyone listened, their expressions were all shocked.

"…In fact, I even wanted Yuhao to find out the locations of the Sun Moon Empire's several national protectors. But when I thought about the possibility of being discovered, I didn't let Yuhao do it."

At this time, Xu Jiujiu was dumbfounded.

After a while, "Chen Junting, you are so brave!"
