Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 363 Zhu Ziyang is feeling very tired!

After the fourth round of the preliminary rounds, all the teams that have advanced will have two days to rest. The draw for the group stage will be held on the afternoon of the second rest day.

After Shrek Academy secured their advancement, Zhu Ziyang gave the contestants a day off. Although only Jiang Nannan, Zhou Tianhe, Dai Huabin, Wu Feng, and Xie Huanyue had appeared in the entire preliminary round, the others were under considerable pressure, especially the members of the preliminaries, as well as Chu Hua and Ning Tian, ​​who were participating in the competition for the first time. They were very nervous.

Why aren't Qian Lingyi and Wu Huan'er nervous? These two are both Soul Saints! The people who should be nervous are the players from other teams.

During his rare break, Zhu Ziyang was dragged shopping by Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and two other girls. As the most prosperous city on the continent, Mingdu was incredibly attractive to girls. The four girls shopped from day to night without showing any signs of fatigue. Zhu Ziyang, on the other hand, was exhausted, not physically, but mentally.

"Ah~ I'm exhausted!" After returning to the hotel, Zhu Ziyang collapsed onto the bed, completely unwilling to move.

However, Ma Xiaotao didn't seem to let him off the hook. She pushed open the door, walked in, and saw Zhu Ziyang lying on the bed. Her face immediately showed displeasure and reproach. She said, "Why are you still lying here? Huan'er has already changed her clothes and is just waiting for you to judge them!"

"Sister Tao, let me catch my breath, I'm so tired!" Zhu Ziyang said with a mournful face.

"Oh dear, this is nothing!" Ma Xiaotao leaned closer and forcibly pulled Zhu Ziyang out of bed, saying, "You feel tired now because you haven't experienced the fun yet. Once you see the new clothes we bought, you'll definitely feel the fun."

"Hehe, let's hope so!" Zhu Ziyang had no desire to resist at all, and was unconsciously pulled by Ma Xiaotao, leaving his room and coming to the room of Ma Xiaotao and Fifth Huan'er.

At this moment, besides Fifth Huan'er, there were also Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi in the room. They were arranging their day's harvest, and each of them had a flush of excitement or shyness on their face. However, Fifth Huan'er was nowhere to be seen.

When Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi saw Ma Xiaotao arrive with Zhu Ziyang, they instinctively hid the clothes they were carrying behind their backs, then grinned foolishly at Zhu Ziyang and said, "Brother, you're here."

At this moment, Zhu Ziyang was absent-minded and did not notice the two women's strange behavior. He simply nodded to them mechanically.

Ma Xiaotao wasn't surprised that she didn't see Fifth Huan'er. A slightly expectant smile appeared on her face as she called out, "Huan'er, come out quickly!"

"Oh! Coming right away!" came Fifth Huan'er's voice from inside the bathroom, a hint of shyness in it. After about ten breaths, the bathroom door opened and Fifth Huan'er came out.

Upon seeing Wu Huan'er, Zhu Ziyang's listless state of mind instantly became excited, and his eyes widened as he stared intently at Wu Huan'er, making Wu Huan'er, who had been so open and confident, feel somewhat embarrassed.

"W-what's wrong? Doesn't it look good?" she asked.

"No, no, it looks great," Zhu Ziyang shook his head decisively, his eyes shining like a wolf that hadn't eaten in a long time. He said, "It suits you!"

"How was it? I told you you'd enjoy it!" Ma Xiaotao said, as if taking credit, then walked to Fifth Huan'er's side and put her arm around the girl's bare waist. "The little outfit Huan'er is wearing is the most popular style among noblewomen in the Sun Moon Empire. Look, doesn't it really accentuate a girl's figure?"

"Mmm-hmm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with excited anticipation. He said, "Sister Xiaotao, I remember you bought some too, right? Why don't you try them on and let me have my opinion?"

"Hahaha~" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Great, it just so happens that Nannan and Yiyi have the same idea."

As she spoke, she walked directly into the bathroom. Before entering, she didn't forget to give Zhu Ziyang a flirtatious wink, trying to arouse his desire.

Now that's settled, Zhu Ziyang's anger has really been ignited. Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi have also gone into the bathroom to change clothes, leaving only Wu Huan'er outside. But Wu Huan'er's outfit is extremely alluring. Zhu Ziyang no longer wants to think about what will happen next. At this moment, he should just follow his heart!

-

The next morning, Zhu Ziyang walked out of Ma Xiaotao and Wu Huan'er's room. Although he hadn't accomplished anything the night before, he still felt refreshed and comfortable. After all, he had been sleeping with two fragrant beauties in his arms, so how could he not feel comfortable?

You ask why Zhu Ziyang didn't accomplish anything last night? Hehe, of course it's because a certain mythical beast was eyeing him covetously! Cough cough, just kidding. The reason Zhu Ziyang didn't choose to directly devour Fifth Huan'er is simple: the timing wasn't right.

Time quickly passed to the afternoon, and the group stage draw ceremony began. However, Zhu Ziyang did not attend; instead, Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan represented Shrek Academy to participate in the draw, while Zhu Ziyang himself had other important matters to attend to.

He found Zhang Lexuan, who was still in Mingdu City, and told her in detail about the assassination plan. He also told her to return to their base camp to make arrangements and then come back on the eve of the final competition.

For Zhang Lexuan, time was a little tight, but that didn't stop her from asking Zhu Ziyang for a brief moment of tenderness. As night fell, after Zhu Ziyang saw Zhang Lexuan off from Mingdu, he looked in the direction she had left with a sense of melancholy. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of regret, as if he had been too loving.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhu Ziyang returned to his room at the Mingyue Hotel. As soon as he entered, he saw everyone gathered in the living room. Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan, who were in charge of drawing lots, had already returned and were preparing to inform everyone of the results and group arrangements.

Zhu Ziyang's return did not interrupt Ma Xiaotao's speech, and Zhu Ziyang listened silently.

The 32 teams that entered the group stage were divided into four groups, each consisting of eight teams. The group stage was a round-robin tournament within each of the four groups, with each team playing seven matches. The two teams with the most wins and losses advanced to the quarterfinals.

Very good. This competition not only eliminated the top 64, but also eliminated the top 16. In a sense, it also eliminated some colleges' pride.

Shrek Academy was placed in Group 1. Of the seven teams in that group, only two were noteworthy: the Holy Spirit Sect team, a pseudonym of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy. As for the other five teams, their strength and reputation were both quite average. Oh, right, the Heavenly Armor Sect, which Jiang Nannan defeated five of their opponents, also made it into the group stage because of their high score in the first three rounds, and they were also placed in this group. Well, you could only say they were unlucky.

The Tang Sect was placed in the second group, the same group as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. They had encountered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the fourth round of the preliminaries, but they did not choose to fight them. Unexpectedly, the two teams were placed together in the group stage. It really is fate!

The group stage schedule is relatively relaxed, with eight matches per day, four in the morning and four in the afternoon. Divided into four groups, each group will play two matches per day, and the competition will last for fourteen days.

Tomorrow's first match is Shrek Academy's match against Tianjia Sect.

That's why Zhu Ziyang said that the Tianjia Sect was unlucky and had run into Shrek Academy twice in a row.
