Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Chapter 175: First Round Robin, Changing Paths (4k)

As the undisputed ace of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and walked at the front of the team.

The Soul Master Competition is meant to tell the stories of young geniuses to the mainland.

Huo Yuhao's talent and beauty, coupled with his extraordinary looks, perfectly meet everyone's fantasy of a peerless genius, so his popularity is unimaginable.

With his appearance, the shouts for Shrek and Huo Yuhao seemed to turn into waves, each one higher than the last.

Of course, while being very popular.

There are also many small black spots.

Some people are actually not very optimistic about Huo Yuhao's strength.

So what if the fourth ring absorbed the ten thousand year soul ring?
Although spirit rings are an important component of a spirit master's strength, fighting spirits does not mean that whoever has a longer spirit ring will be stronger.

Besides, it was clear that in the opening match, Huo Yuhao was relying on the power of the Soul Emperor in his team, but how come in the end it seemed as if everything was made possible by Huo Yuhao.

They don't quite understand.

The other 67 participating teams were also present.

In fact, some teams did not have any matches today, but they wanted to observe Huo Yuhao's abilities more closely and try to find Shrek's weaknesses so that they could make targeted deployments in the future.

But what puzzled everyone was.

Why does Shrek still have these reserve players?
This time even the Soul Emperor from last time was missing.

Is Shrek doing something new?
Of course, the audience present also noticed it, but most people felt that there was nothing wrong with Shrek Academy's behavior.

This is probably part of the plan.

The rest area of ​​the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

The team leader, Mr. Ma, frowned.

"Where's Shrek's regular pick?"

In fact, to participate in the Soul Master Competition, one must record one's name, appearance, and undergo a bone age test.

Although Shrek has privileges, he will need to make up for these in the end.

The Sun and Moon people relied on their financial resources to get a copy of Shrek's registration information.

Therefore, they knew the ages of Huo Yuhao and the others very clearly.

What shocked them was...

There are only twelve students coming to Shrek this year.

Among them, only four players aged 19 seem to be the starting lineup, while the other eight are all under the age of 15 and are more like a reserve team.

Especially, three of them were only twelve years old! ?
The one who has been in the spotlight is Huo Yuhao.

"It's a round-robin tournament to train the players. It can not only strengthen the reserve team, but also reveal the true strength of the regular players."

Ma Rulong frowned and immediately thought of the answer.

Shrek did the same thing in the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. When matched with a weak academy, Shrek would let the reserve team members play.

At that time, Dai Yuheng left some impression on him.

So it was only after Ma Rulong specifically inquired that he learned the news that Dai Yuheng had already broken through to the Soul Emperor level.

The situation is similar this time.

It’s just that Shrek is more arrogant now.

After all, the four 19-year-old regular players didn’t even show up.

Under the deliberate cover-up by someone with ulterior motives.

No one would have thought that the current Shrek looks invincible, but is actually a bit weak inside.

……

Under the leadership of Wang Yan, everyone came to the rest area exclusively for Shrek Academy.

The rest area provided for the participating teams is located on the north side of Xingluo Square, while the Shrek Academy rest area is located closer to the Imperial City.

This lounge area that belongs exclusively to Shrek Academy is obviously much larger than those of other academies. It is furnished with more than twenty comfortable and soft sofas, and the tables in front of the sofas are filled with various foods, fruits and drinks.

There were even special waiters standing respectfully by the side waiting for everyone.

This isn't a competition at all; it's more like we're here to watch the game as VIPs.

At this point, the host has already started warming up the audience.

First, the list of colleges that advanced was announced, and then the grouping situation was introduced.

Today, Dai Yuheng, Ling Luochen and Xixi did not come to watch the game. Instead, they stayed in the hotel to recover from their injuries and strive to recover as soon as possible.

As for Ma Xiaotao, she naturally followed Master Xuan to obtain the spirit ring and has not returned yet.

For this reason, Huo Yuhao gave her some special instructions before leaving.

"Don't worry about the time. You must find the most suitable soul beast. It's better to have nothing than to have something less than the best. It doesn't matter if you miss the round-robin tournament, Sister Tao. I will help you."

I'm only bringing one person with me, and Xuanzi will be protecting me at all times, so nothing should go wrong, right?
At least, before Ma Xiaotao left.

Huo Yuhao didn’t even have that kind of mysterious premonition.

You know, with the use of the peeping Gu several times, coupled with the spiritual eye martial soul, the eye of life and the special nature of Huo Yuhao's identity.

Under certain special circumstances, he himself can feel the fluctuations of the power of destiny.

Just like when he was searching for the Death Hand Bandits, Huo Yuhao could feel the subsequent threats, which were, of course, directed at his teammates.

Also, there is the left arm bone of the 70,000-year-old Ice Scorpion.

Although its characteristics are similar to those of the Ice Explosion Gu, the Ice Explosion Gu is only at the third level after all, and its current power can no longer satisfy Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao initially thought about absorbing this soul bone directly. After all, it was made of ultimate ice, and its quality was almost the same as that of a hundred thousand year soul bone.

When he thought so, he suddenly had an inappropriate thought.

My goodness, he has a narrow vision.

As expected, having 100,000-year soul bones all over the body is the correct approach, right?

Therefore, Huo Yuhao gave up the idea of ​​absorbing this left arm bone.

It’s outrageous to say the least.

The two soul bones that Shrek has given to Huo Yuhao so far, whether it is the 50,000-year-old skull of the Fearful Demon Dragon King or the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion, are of no help to him.

It just gave him two more collections to keep in his closet.

As Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced, the host finished his nonsense to arouse the audience's emotions.

Then, the host said excitedly: "Next, the first round of the round-robin tournament, the first game, please invite the continent's number one college, the Shrek College team, and their opponent, the Zhengtian College team from the Tianhun Empire to enter the waiting area. At the same time, please invite the captains of the two teams to the stage to determine their competition methods."

Wow, compared to the original, the opponent this time has actually changed.

However, the groups they were assigned to were exactly the same.

Therefore, these teams will face off sooner or later.

The round-robin tournament requires playing against all the colleges in the group, and only the top two teams in points can advance.

Like Shrek, the Zhengtian Academy team also comes from the Tianhun Empire.

Of course, Shrek does not belong to any country. Shrek has its own Shrek City, and its status has long reached a level that any country must respect.

The Zhengtian Academy belongs to the Tianhun Empire and is also the oldest academy in the Tianhun Empire. It has a long history and profound heritage, and has trained countless powerful soul masters.

Among the four great empires on the continent, the one that most adheres to the tradition of soul masters and rejects soul mentors is the Tianhun Empire. Therefore, this Zhengtian Academy is actually more thorough in its implementation of pure soul masters than Shrek Academy.

They don't have a soul guide branch at all, they only train soul masters. Regardless of whether they will be eliminated in the future, at least now, Zhengtian College is one of the best colleges in the entire continent.

There is no doubt that as one of the top eight contestants in the previous session, Zhengtian Academy is very strong. If they had not encountered the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, they actually had the possibility of going further.

Huo Yuhao walked forward amid the cheers of the audience.

The person coming up from the opposite side was a young man who was about twenty years old. His appearance was only slightly less handsome than Huo Yuhao.

Moreover, his strength should not be underestimated.

Ye Qingqing, nineteen years old, captain of the Zhengtian Academy team, martial soul golden leaf, fifty-eighth level attack system soul master.

In the last competition, he had already represented Zhengtian College as a regular player, and this time, he became the backbone of the college.

If he is exactly twenty years old this year, then he has a good chance of breaking through level sixty and becoming the first Soul Emperor in the history of Zhengtian Advanced Soul Master Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Zhengtian Academy will also officially join the ranks of top academies.

The two looked at each other, and Huo Yuhao had a calm expression.

But Ye Wuqing's eyes were like sharp knives, as if he was looking for a flaw in Huo Yuhao's body and then stabbing it hard.

Huo Yuhao didn't tolerate him and his sword intent flashed across his face.

Ye Wuqing's face froze, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

Although his expression remained indifferent, he revealed a strong desire to fight.

Wang Yan, who was off the field, whispered the introduction to the people around him with a serious expression.

"Zhengtian Academy was one of the top eight teams in the previous session, and they are very strong! Moreover, among their seven regular players this session, there are three Soul Kings and four Soul Sects.

Before coming to participate in this competition, because our original players were strong enough, the academy I studied also happened to have only the top eight. I must tell you that their captain is known as the top talent of the academy that appears once in a thousand years.

Even in our academy, Ye Wuqing has the possibility to represent Shrek in the competition. Elder Xuan once personally evaluated him. If Ye Wuqing was in Shrek, he would definitely be able to break through to the Soul Emperor before the age of 20. It's a pity that he was delayed a bit. "

Wang Yan's face looked obviously ugly.

It was impossible to say that he was not nervous. In this much-anticipated battle, it was hard for him to imagine how the audience would react if Shrek Academy lost the first match of the round-robin tournament.

He was always wise, but at this moment he was also confused.

Luck really didn't favor them.

Although as Wang Yan expected, there were only eight college teams participating in the group where Shrek Academy was located.

But there is no doubt that Zhengtian Academy is the best among them. It can even be said that in this group, its strength is second only to Shrek.

But Wang Yan and the others did not expect that Shrek would actually encounter Zhengtian Academy directly in the first round.

After listening to Wang Yan's story, the faces of the reserve team members became serious.

Although they knew that the opponents they would face in the round-robin stage were not on the same level as those in the knockout stage, they did not expect them to be so strong.

Just ask yourself, if they were asked to face opponents like Huo Yuhao or Ma Xiaotao, what confidence would they have?

Huo Yuhao had already educated him to be obedient.

Of course, for the original regular players of Shrek Academy, such opponents are nothing.

But, now.

Only Huo Yuhao was left with seven reserve team members.

Do we really have to rely on Huo Yuhao for everything?
Faced with the gap in numbers and strength, no matter which mode of competition they adopt, they seem to be at an absolute disadvantage.

If the draw was unlucky, Wang Yan was even considering giving up the game.

After all, this is a round-robin tournament, and it's not impossible to lose the game.

Admitting defeat right after the first game was a major blow to both the morale of the reserve players and Shrek's reputation.

It is even possible that their current weakness will be directly exposed, and the situation will only get worse.

But if they lose in actual combat, then all the pressure will fall on these children. Can they bear it?
At this time, the results of the competition were also announced.

Huo Yuhao and Ye Wuqing exerted force at the same time and threw a hollow transparent box into the air.

It contains three small balls: red, yellow and blue.

Small balls will be thrown randomly through the small holes.

Red represents team battle, yellow represents individual battle, and blue represents the 223 strategy.

As the box rose into the air, a small ball fell out.

Little yellow ball!

The referee used his soul power to pull it into his left hand and retrieved the hollow box with his right hand.

Then he raised his left hand high and showed the small yellow ball to everyone present. He nodded to Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, who was standing on the top of the imperial city, and finally announced loudly through the soul guide loudspeaker he carried with him.

"The first round of the round-robin tournament is between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy. It will be a one-on-one elimination match. The captains of both teams can step down and prepare."

When Wang Yan saw that he had been drawn for the individual elimination round, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was finally relieved of their worries.

According to their thinking, as long as it is not the 233 strategy, it will be fine.

Because of Huo Yuhao's support, Shrek has a chance to win.

Bei Bei also suggested to Wang Yan: "Teacher Wang, let me go first, and Yu Hao will finish last. This is the safest way."

Wang Yan also agreed with this.

His starting point is to ensure victory in this game.

The opponent's strength is not that weak.

Huo Yuhao's backup is definitely the most suitable for the current situation.

When Huo Yuhao returned to the team, he shook his head when he heard their plan.

"If you let me take the responsibility, it would be the safest option, but your strength will be completely hidden. And I could feel just now that the other team's captain is close to the Soul Emperor level."

"Soul Emperor! What should I do?"

Xu Sanshi asked, and then suggested: "How about I go back and ask Senior Dai Yuheng to do it for me, and I can only make Senior suffer."

"Stop fooling around. Forcing your attack will only aggravate your injury. Besides, we don't have the time anymore."

After Wang Yan scolded him, he asked carefully, "Then Yuhao, which one do you want to appear in?"

Huo Yuhao smiled with confidence.

"It's simple, just let me be the first one."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's gentleness and elegance suddenly turned into a powerful aura, a feeling as if he could control everything.

The original trace of laziness had now disappeared, like a sleeping lion that had just awakened, full of unparalleled tyranny.

What’s coming is a simple one-on-seven victory!

I wish you all a happy National Day!
