Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 12, the start of the knockout stage

Having witnessed everything, Beibei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If things go smoothly over there, he won't need to expose his Fusion Ring skill in order to eliminate his opponent as quickly as possible, which will leave him some options for later battles.

In a battle where he was fighting two opponents at once, Bei Bei's dragon eyes flashed, and the purple soul ring in the first position lit up, accompanied by the roar of the Dragon King.

The battlefield, which had been able to maintain a stalemate, has now become completely one-sided.

Two minutes later, they were finally knocked off the fighting arena.

Wu Liu, engrossed in her anger, was completely oblivious to her teammate's elimination and continued to fling willow leaves around.

Suddenly!

A hand pressed down on his shoulder, rendering him unable to move.

"Should we continue?"

With the battle situation clear, the referee intervened in a timely manner to prevent young trainees from making irrational decisions due to being blinded by emotions.

In the next four assessments today, none of them surpassed the first one in terms of overall strength.

Therefore, Beibei handled the situation with ease.

The central area of ​​the Battle Arena at noon.

"The freshman assessment and ranking competition has officially ended."

"There are four teams this season that have won all ten of their qualifying matches."

"They are Bei Bei's team, Ma Xiaotao's team, Dai Yueheng's team, and Chen Zifeng's team."

"According to the assessment rules that are updated every five years, teams that win all ten games will directly advance to the top eight of the knockout stage."

"I will officially participate in the quarterfinals the day after tomorrow morning, and I can rest tomorrow."

"Excluding these four teams, the rankings will increase sequentially, with the top 64 teams participating in tomorrow's knockout stage."

Team BeiBei, a team that was initially underestimated by most, achieved an impressive record of ten wins, successfully breaking out of the rankings and directly advancing to the quarterfinals.

"Someone got slapped in the face again."

"...This is a matter of luck and probability, it has nothing to do with me."

He paused for a moment, then added, "His strength is indeed a bit stronger than I expected."

"I'm genuinely curious about the battle between him and the two teams that possess Soul Master level power."

"Hehe~ What's wrong? The Soul Master team you said was sure to win has now become an evenly matched force?"

"No!"

"I still firmly believe that the two Soul Master teams will prevail!"

"Hmm, how about we make a bet? A little betting is harmless fun. We'll bet whoever loses has to clean the dorm for a month!"

"How is it?"

"..."

Not only were there casual gambles in the audience, but there were also places where betting was openly conducted among the older students.

The college does not prohibit such things, but it strictly stipulates the upper limit.

If anyone's normal academic life is affected by this, the bookmaker will be punished the same as the gambler and expelled from the college.

Sure enough, Beibei and her group also arrived at the territory of a merchant opening for sale.

The sign boldly proclaimed—Freshman Assessment Championship, Who Will Win?!

"Senior, 100 gold soul coins, I bet I'll win!"

The dealer, who was lost in thought, was startled awake by a confident voice.

The handsome and refined Bei Bei came into view. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and accepted the gift: "Junior, you have great confidence!"

"I'll be cheering you on, senior!"

Seeing that he had bought it, Qian Qian immediately followed suit. It's always good to follow someone with great luck.

"Senior, senior, I'll buy the same as him."

"Okay, okay!"

After paying the bill, he smiled smugly, as if the multiplied gold coins were already in his pocket.

Turning to look at the silent Wu Yan, he said, "Why don't you give it a shot? Opportunities to make money don't come easily."

"If you do not seize what Heaven has given you, be careful, or disaster will surely follow."

At this moment, Wu Yan looked rather uninterested.

This unusual situation was naturally noticed by Beibei.

"Are you short of money?"

Just as Wu Yan was about to respond, he was interrupted by a high-pitched voice, which belonged to the senior student who was in charge.

"Junior, our college has rules regarding the opening of sales..."

"I know." With that, Beibei took out another hundred gold soul coins.

"I'll pay for it all. If he loses, it's all on me. If he wins, he only needs to pay back the principal."

"Senior, you know we're a team, it's not like we're maliciously using each other's resources."

"Hmm... okay."

Wu Yan was about to speak again, but Qian Qian stopped him once more.

"Don't worry, our captain's a nouveau riche, this little bit of money is nothing to him."

After paying, Beibei looked at him and said, "We're on the same team now, so you don't need to be shy."

Wu Yan: "..."

After the two people in front of him finished speaking, he paused for a moment before finally saying what he wanted to say:

"It's not about the 100 gold coins!"

"Captain, when you were clearing my meridians just now, your brow was furrowed. Is there something wrong with my body?"

Qian Qian, who was standing nearby, chimed in at the opportune moment: "Oh~"

"So that's why you've been so downcast."

"Don't worry~ If there were any problems, the captain would have already said so."

"It must be because you lack talent and your meridians are blocked, making the captain work too hard."

After speaking, the two looked at Beibei, as if seeking confirmation.

Upon hearing this, Beibei revealed her signature refined smile.

"Qian Qian is right. Your meridians are small and fragile, making it difficult for external soul energy to circulate. There are even signs of disorder at the junctions of multiple meridians."

"It did take some effort to clear your meridians."

"However, it's also clear that you cultivate more diligently than the average person."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach level sixteen at this age."

Qian Qian elbowed Wu Yan:

"Hey!"

"The captain is praising you."

Are you happy?

Due to various reasons, Wu Yan couldn't be happy, but she still lifted her cheeks and tried her best to make a smiling face.

The remaining time of the day passed quickly.

The following day, the elimination rounds, where 64 teams advanced to 32, officially began.

Beibei, who wasn't supposed to participate, also came.

Of course, not in the players' seats, but in the audience seats.

He also ran into an acquaintance there.

"Beibei, congratulations on advancing to the quarterfinals!"

"Xiao Tao, judging from your tone, it sounds like you think I won't get promoted?"

"I remember you said before that you had confidence in me and believed in me."

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

That's really rubbing salt in the wound! There were other people around her!

I can't hold it down any longer!

A small head suddenly appeared between Ma Xiaotao's arms and waist.

Her disheveled hair concealed a delicate face that was three parts aloof and two parts lively.

"Ah~"

"Beibei, let me tell you something!"

"Xiao Tao, she's been so worried about you, she can't eat or sleep, and she almost went into a qi deviation while meditating at night."

"She even begged me..."

Before he could say more than a few words, Ma Xiaotao covered his mouth.
