Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 289: The Preliminary Round Ends
"As you command, His Majesty the Pope."

The ghost's face changed and soon turned from a human face into a complete skull face.

The black mist continued to gather in his hands, and finally condensed into a giant sickle that flashed with a cold light.

Every time he took a step forward, the space changed.

When Gui Mei walked up to the Spirit Hall's third team, this place had changed from the Pope's Palace to the Spirit Hall's execution ground used specifically for executing criminals.

"Goodbye, seven minions!"

The ghost raised his sickle and slashed at the seven people lined up in a row.

The seven members of the Spirit Hall's third team knew at first that this was an illusion created by the Shura Illusion, but from the moment they knelt down because of their inner instinct, they had no control over anything.

Under the influence of the Shura Illusion, they had completely forgotten the fact that this was an illusion. Therefore, facing Guimei, a Titled Douluo with a fierce reputation in the Spirit Hall, they did not dare to put up any resistance at all.

With a wave of his hand and a slash of his knife, seven heads fell to the ground, with blood spurting out and rolling everywhere.

outside world.

After the Shura illusion covered the arena for several minutes, it suddenly turned into bursts of light and dissipated.

For the audience who have already watched the Canghui College team's game, they know that this means the game is over, so they all strain their heads to stretch them high, wanting to see the scene on the ring clearly as soon as possible.

At this moment, on the arena.

The seven members of the Spirit Hall's third team fell to the ground one after another. Their faces were pale and they looked like real dead people.

Without waiting for the referee to announce the end of the match, the rescue personnel from the Spirit Hall climbed onto the stage and checked the injuries of the seven people on the ground.

According to the rules, the referee should have sent those rescuers off the field, but he did not do so because he was also a member of the Spirit Hall.

At the same time, the referee was slow to announce the outcome of the game; he was waiting for a result.

After a while, the leader of the rescue team shook his head at the referee after checking their injuries.

After waiting for this result, the referee announced:
"The game is over. Team 3 of Spirit Hall is playing against Team Canghui Academy. Canghui Academy wins."

"At the same time, Spirit Hall Team 3 is too seriously injured to participate in the next match. Therefore, in the next match between Spirit Hall Team 3 and Four Elements Academy Comprehensive Team, Spirit Hall Team 3 will automatically admit defeat, and Four Elements Academy Comprehensive Team will win."

As the referee of the competition announced, new changes appeared on the soul guide display screen:

Team Rankings:

the first:

Canghui College Team: 2 wins: 0 draws: 0 losses, cumulative score: 6 points

second:

Four Elements Academy Comprehensive Team: 1 win: 0 draws: 1 loss, cumulative score: 2
third:

Spirit Hall Team 0: 0 wins: 2 draws: 6 losses, cumulative score: -
In the commentary booth, the host was silent for a long time about this result, and then reluctantly congratulated in a more passionate tone:
"Let us congratulate the Canghui Academy team for taking first place and obtaining the last spot in the knockout round of this competition."

The audience's reaction to this result was somewhat unexpected; they were not as excited as they had imagined.

The reason for this is that Canghui College was too unknown in the past, and none of the audience present supported this college.

If the winning team was replaced by Team 3 of Spirit Hall, the scene would be very different.

This is the home ground of the Spirit Hall. Among the tens of thousands of spectators, at least 80% of the soul masters support the Spirit Hall.

In the corner of the fighting arena, Lin Rong looked at the team rankings on the soul guide screen with satisfaction. The soul guide display was an extremely rare soul guide device inherited from ancient times, most of which were in the hands of the forces behind the big fighting arena.

A soul guide display as large as this can only be found in the great soul fighting arenas in the capitals of the two empires and in the soul fighting arena of the Spirit Hall.

"Soul Guidance Technology is indeed convenient. If it is popularized on the mainland, it will definitely be a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

"It's a pity that it's too troublesome to study. It won't play any decisive role in the upcoming war of the gods. So I won't waste my time on it."

At this moment, the soul guide screen has switched from the play-off team rankings to the overall rankings of the qualifying teams.

the first:

Tiandou Royal Academy Team 123, record 0 wins and losses.

……

eighth:

Canghui College team, record 111 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses (first place in the play-offs)

ninth:

Four Elements Academy Comprehensive Team, record 111 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses (second in the play-offs)
tenth:

Spirit Hall Team 111, record 5 wins, 7 draws, losses (third in the play-offs)
The top eight teams will receive eight places in the knockout rounds, so the names of these eight teams are all in red-gold, standing out on the team rankings.

Canghui Academy, which should have been eliminated by Shrek Academy in the original novel, obtained a place in the knockout round of the same competition in a different time and space, while Shrek Academy, which won the championship, was eliminated with the last place in the preliminaries. It was a bit of a changing of the guard.

The seven-in-one soul skill fusion skill "Ashura Illusion" has a wide range of uses and is highly applicable. As long as you don't encounter a cheater like Tang San in the original novel, or an opponent who has absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone, it is an extremely difficult skill even in the knockout rounds where the team's strength has been greatly improved, and you will fail if you are not careful.

Such a versatile skill can disrupt the situation in the knockout rounds, which is far more effective than the Four Elements Academy comprehensive team entering the knockout rounds.

This is also the reason why Lin Rong asked the Four Elements Academy to admit defeat instead of Canghui Academy.

Besides, there are already three teams from the Four Elements Academy that have entered the knockout rounds, so one more team or one less team will not have much impact.

With the end of the preliminaries, this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has also come to an end, and the next knockout round will have to wait until two months later.

Douluo Continent is vast and rich in resources, but the transportation in today's era is very backward.

It takes about half a month to a month for the major kingdoms and duchies to rush to Wuhun City from various regions on the continent, and more than a month for the two empires. If it is a more remote place, it will take nearly two months.

Therefore, some teams living in remote areas of the mainland had already boarded horse-drawn carriages on their way to Wuhun City at this time.

The days passed by.

During this period, teams that qualified for the knockout rounds one after another arrived at Wuhun City in the center of the continent.

This made Wuhun City, which had become somewhat quiet due to the end of the preliminaries, lively again.

Soon, half a month before the start of the knockout round, Yun Hui, who was acting as Lin Rong's agent in managing the Duke's Mansion, also arrived at Wuhun City along with a team from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Wuhun City, Qibao Chamber of Commerce.

This is the property of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in Wuhun City. Although the business is not very good due to the suppression of the Wuhun Hall, they don't need to stay in a hotel as they have a place to stay.

Although there is not enough accommodation due to the large number of people and several people have to be crammed into one room, living in one's own place is much more comfortable and relaxed than living in a spacious hotel, and there are fewer concerns.
