Chapter 76 Promotion Tournament
Shi Yi returned to the dormitory and lay quietly on his bed.
"It's almost time. When this competition is over and Tang Hao leaves, I can do what I want to do." Shi Yi thought to himself.
Although the current plot direction has undergone some changes due to Tang San's weakening, in general Shi Yi has maintained it very well.
Shi Yi estimated that the current Tang San would have to train with Tang Hao for a longer time. After all, except for the second martial spirit and the Tang Sect's unique skills, the current Tang San did not have anything more than a normal soul master, and he had nothing to do with the Four Elements Academy. The geniuses are all at the same level, even a little bit behind because of their martial spirits.
The training time is longer, and the training time in the Killing City will inevitably be longer. Without extremely critical things such as immortal soul bones, Shi Yi estimates that it will be difficult for Poseidon and Shura God to like Tang San. If everything goes well, once Tang San San's development cannot keep up with the pace of Wuhun Palace, so even without Shi Yi taking action, Shi Yi can survive to the end perfectly, complete his cultivation journey, and go to the God Realm smoothly.
This is also the reason why Shi Yi killed Xiao Wu so decisively in the first place. To Tang San, Xiao Wu was like a natural soul ring and soul bone storage device. It was also because of Xiao Wu that the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python were killed. Choosing Tang San could even be said to be the most important foundation for Tang San to become a god.
"It seems that we can be stable for a long time." Shi Yi murmured softly.
Gradually, in this extremely relaxed state, Shi Yi fell asleep for the first time in a long time. When he opened his eyes again, a dim light penetrated through the window and penetrated into Shi Yi's eyes.
Shi Yi patted his face with both hands and yawned. His eyes were dull. After a while, a trace of emotion flashed across his face. He hadn't had such a relaxing nap in an unknown amount of time.
Feeling a little hungry, Shi Yi washed up casually and headed towards Shrek's canteen.
Entering the cafeteria, Shi Yi felt it instantly. Countless eyes were focused on him. Shi Yi was slightly stunned and walked towards the window to pick up the food with some embarrassment.
After getting his dinner, Shi Yi took a casual glance and saw two familiar figures. He took the dinner plate and sat down in front of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
"What? Shui Bing'er didn't pack your dinner? Let you, the qualifier champion Marquis Tiandou, eat in the cafeteria?" Ning Rongrong said that familiar smell as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shi Yi also smiled and said: "It's just a matter of having a meal together and becoming familiar with each other."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Shi Yi, then picked up her plate and left.
Shi Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing with some confusion and said, "What happened to her today? She feels a little abnormal."
The chopsticks in Zhu Zhuqing's hand froze slightly. Thinking of what Ning Rongrong said to him when Shi Yi came to the future, a faint blush appeared on his cold face.
Shi Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing's expression and subconsciously glanced at the place where Ning Rongrong left. A flash of confusion flashed in his eyes. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Shi Yi chuckled and said, "What? What do you want to say? ”
Zhu Zhuqing glared at Shi Yi, looked at Shi Yi hesitantly for a while, snorted slightly, but still didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Shi Yi smiled and said without going into details: "Let's eat first."
Shi Yi was eating the food in front of him and was thinking about whether he, as a man, should take the initiative. However, Zhu Zhuqing quickly finished his food and left quickly, without even saying hello to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi stared at the departing figure for a moment, with a look of helplessness on his face. He understood that Zhu Zhuqing still had baggage in his heart, which was why he had never chosen to be more proactive. He hoped that she could be more relaxed. Make a choice, rather than choosing under pressure from yourself.
On the other side, Ning Rongrong, who had been observing secretly, saw Zhu Zhuqing running out quickly and pulled him back.
"Zhuqing, why didn't you say anything? I'm almost dying of anxiety. There's only one layer of window paper left. If you pierce it, you can control that bad guy Shi Yi openly." Ning Rongrong hated the iron. steel track.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing whispered: "I don't think it's appropriate now, at least... at least until after the game is over."
"That bad guy can wait, but other women can't wait. That bad guy Shi Yi obviously has something special about Shui Bing'er. If someone takes advantage of him, don't make me cry." Ning Rong Rong said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing thought of Shui Bing'er and nodded, feeling a little disappointed: "She is indeed more suitable for him than me..."
Ning Rongrong patted her forehead helplessly and said, "Yes, your fighting spirit has been shattered before the other party takes action."
But when Ning Rongrong thought about Shui Bing'er in her mind and compared herself, apart from the background of the Qibao Glazed Sect, she seemed to be inferior to others, not to mention that the Qibao Glazed Sect was still a negative point in Shi Yi's heart.
The enemy is indeed very powerful. Ning Rongrong sighed slightly. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Ning Rongrong also understood that Zhu Zhuqing still had baggage in his heart. She also understood that this was not something she could persuade. She could only let Zhu Zhuqing do it himself. Figure it out.
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself." Ning Rongrong's voice was a little complicated.
The two looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they both caught the pity between them. At this time, they understood that the biggest gap between them and Shui Bing'er was freedom.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong and said softly: "Let's go, Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, and then the two of them headed towards the girls' dormitory.
The January holiday has passed by slowly, and it has been more than two months since the start of the competition.
Flanders also brought everyone from Shrek to the Tiandou Royal Hunting Ground, the venue for this promotion competition.
After registration and inspection, everyone in Shrek was also allocated five barracks for them to rest. This made Shi Yi frown slightly. For him who has many secrets, this is not good news, and he does not like to work with him very much. Others live together.
The promotion competition is also a round-robin system, but because the number of teams has been reduced a lot, the competition time has also been reduced from one month to half a month. After that, they will rest for half a month and the final finals will be held at the junction of the two empires, Tiandou and Xingluo.
Just when they had just settled in, the temporary residence also welcomed two guests, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, or Qian Renxue.
When Shi Yi saw this, he greeted Qian Renxue politely: "Brother Xue."
Seeing this, Qian Renxue also raised the corners of her lips slightly and chuckled: "Xiao Yi, the teacher and I are here to see you."
Then he nodded slightly towards Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in response with his usual warm smile.
"Dad." Ning Rongrong's voice rang out at the right time, and her pretty figure ran out of the barracks, "Why are you here?" She threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms, Ning Rongrong looked excited. At this time, the other people from Shrek also slowly came out of the room.
Flender and Yu Xiaogang also took the lead in greeting Ning Feng: "Hello, Sect Leader Ning."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said: "You're welcome, Dean Flanders. This must be the master. I've admired his name for a long time."
Yu Xiaogang also nodded slightly towards Ning Fengzhi, not enthusiastically. He was also from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect of the Shangsan Sect, and he knew very well the tricks of the sect's soul master.
Shi Yi only stayed in the Qibao Glazed Sect for one day before returning to the academy. Yu Xiaogang saw some clues. Later, when Shi Yi stood next to Xue Qinghe, his conjecture was further verified. Obviously Shi Yi believed that the Qibao Glazed Sect It was not a safe place for him, but in Tiandou's territory, he could not choose to stand on the opposite side of the Qibao Glazed Sect. It was natural for Shi Yi to stand next to Xue Qinghe later.
Ning Fengzhi still maintained a smile, seemingly indifferent to Yu Xiaogang's cold attitude, and cast her gaze on Tang San.
Since Yu Xiaogang could teach a disciple like Shi Yi, Tang San obviously had his own merits.
"The son of Haotian, whose light is covered by Shi Yi, doesn't know what the secret is." Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.
Yu Xiaogang has a certain understanding of Ning Fengzhi, so why not Ning Fengzhi? Ning Fengzhi only has one word to comment on the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and that is arrogance. Dragons will always recognize their own kind. Shi Yi's information has been clearly placed on his desk for a long time. If Shi Yi asked Yu Xiao I just saw myself back then, so what was there about Tang San that Yu Xiaogang recognized?
Although the current Tang San was excellent enough, Ning Fengzhi was certain that what Yu Xiaogang was interested in was definitely not the talent of an ordinary genius.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang San. Tang San felt Ning Fengzhi's gaze, but looked at him calmly without saying anything.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's good to have a background. You don't have to pretend to be a grandson in front of Ning Fengzhi."
Qian Renxue, who felt the coldness at this time, also reminded her at the right time: "Teacher, it's getting late, we should go."
Ning Fengzhi also came back to her senses at this time, smiled and nodded, Ning Rongrong also felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and said: "Then I will see dad off."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and then said goodbye to Flanders and Yu Xiaogang.
"Goodbye, Xiao Yi. I'm looking forward to your performance in the promotion competition." Qian Renxue said to Shi Yi, then slowly left behind Ning Fengzhi.
Shi Yi also smiled and nodded towards Qian Renxue.
After Ning Fengzhi left, Flanders also breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was indeed not very good.
Thinking of this, Flanders couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaogang on the side, sighed slightly and said: "After the game is over, let these little guys graduate. None of them are fuel-efficient lamps."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang also had a hint of emotion in his eyes and said: "The trees that are as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy them. Since they are monsters, they naturally have secrets that are different from ordinary people. It is normal for them to be targeted. They are also It’s time to graduate.”
"I still want to teach at your Shrek school." Shi Yi chuckled upon hearing this.
"Marquis Tiandou teaches at Shrek? I am a small temple and cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like you. You are the most troublesome. Get out of here after graduation." Flanders said angrily.
"If we win the championship in this competition, Shrek will no longer be a small temple, and you will have to pay me advertising fees." Shi Yi joked with a smile.
"It's a good idea. If you cause so much trouble in Shrek, you should advertise to the academy for free." Speaking of money, Flanders immediately rubbed oil on his soles and entered the room.
The promotion round does not have multiple arenas taking place at the same time like the qualifiers. Instead, there is only one competition venue, which is the Grand Campus of the Royal Knights.
A total of fifteen teams participating in the promotion round will compete in fourteen rounds of round-robin matches, one round per day, with one team having a bye every day and seven games. They are all held in the same venue.
The campus field has been renovated, and an area of 100 meters in diameter has been designated as the competition field in the center. Compared with the qualifier arena, the space here is wider, and it is naturally easier to display one's strength.
On the north side of the university grounds, facing south, a temporary VIP seat was built, which was also the referee's seat. This time there were not as many distinguished guests as last time.
Many nobles are missing. Looking around, in addition to Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Platinum Bishop Salas and others in the first row of the VIP seats, the seats in the back were occupied by people dressed as military generals and the Wuhun Saints of Wuhun Palace and Tiandou City. Some of the higher-ups in the palace.
The rules of the competition are simple. Each team sends seven players to participate, and each player must fight until he is defeated. If the winner wins, he will face the next opponent until all seven players on one side are defeated.
The draw was completed last night, and Shrek Academy did not get a bye in the first round. Their opponent was an advanced soul master academy from the Balak Kingdom. Played in the third of today's seven games.
The teams that passed the qualifiers from different divisions were grouped together. Seeing Shui Bing'er not far away, Shi Yi smiled and nodded, and Shui Bing'er nodded slightly in response.
"Sister, when will you turn Shi Yi into my brother-in-law?" Shui Yue'er joked with a chuckle.
Shui Bing'er blushed and glared at Shui Yue'er and said, "You're going to die, what are you talking about?"
Shui Yue'er smiled and said: "If sister doesn't like it, then introduce him to me."
"If you don't want to let go, Bing'er, you can give half of it to Yue'er. Let Yue'er be your sister for life." Xue Wu said, and everyone in Tianshui laughed.
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er spat, blushed and quickly changed the subject: "Sister Xue Wu, what are you talking about? I haven't settled the accounts with you for what happened last time? You actually asked me to go alone, even though I had clearly promised We went together.”
"Aren't you feeling sorry for our captain? It's hard to find someone who is not affected by Bing'er's power. If Bing'er finds someone else, we sisters will have to worry about whether Bing'er will accidentally freeze people into ice while sleeping. Block." Xue Wu said with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at Xue Wu and said nothing more. These days, she has been exercising according to the method Shi Yi said. She can clearly feel that her control over the original power is constantly increasing. In the future, maybe There will no longer be the problem of the original power going berserk, but she has never told her team members about these things, and even her sister Shui Yue'er doesn't know about them.
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er's eyes moved involuntarily to Shi Yi not far away. Looking at Shi Yi, her heart palpitated. When she saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong sitting not far away from Shi Yi, , Shui Bing'er secretly said in her heart: "Hmph...a playboy just like dad."
