Chapter 466: The draw
The day after the round-robin competition ended, all the teams in the quarterfinals got up early, and they all had to hold a lottery ceremony before the game began.
In order to give contestants more time to rest, the organizer set up the lottery ceremony in the grand banquet hall of Mingyue Hotel.
Eight teams stood in eight rows, and almost all members of each team came, but only Huo Yuhao stood alone on the Longge side. He even walked in from outside the hotel. He came to draw lots only because he completed the task assigned by the teacher. When he returned to the hotel to make up for his sleep, he knew that he would draw lots and do it casually.
Obviously, Longge doesn't care about the result of the lottery. Anyway, the other seven teams have finished drawing, and the last draw belongs to Longge. No matter who draws, they will be able to beat them.
Among the staff responsible for supervising the lottery, Zheng Zhan, who had been law enforcement for many times, was here. It seems that the attack on Xu Tianran has not yet been settled, and several officials sent by the Sun and Moon Empire to organize the competition.
At this time, one of the officials stood up and smiled: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you here on being able to enter the quarterfinals of this competition. As we all know, this competition has introduced sects to participate for the first time, and its competitiveness is much greater than that of previous competitions..."
A series of clichés was said for a quarter of an hour before getting to the topic.
The team in the first place in the four groups quickly sent representatives to the stage. Huo Yuhao glanced around casually. Tang Ya was on the Tang Sect, and Mu Xue was the representative of the Xue Demon Sect. Except for the young people in the Aojian Sect, they were all acquaintances.
Almost all teams couldn't help but get nervous. The draw of lots will determine their next opponent. Among the team in the first place in the four groups, there is no doubt that the strength shown by the Xue Demon Sect and the Aojian Sect are relatively weak, and the most difficult ones are undoubtedly Longge and Tang Sect. Especially in Long Pavilion, the regent was created twice before the people went to Qi. Yesterday, they directly caused the person to vomit blood, but no one in the Sun and Moon Empire had come out to ask them for an explanation.
This is the benefit of having Extreme Douluo at home!
But every team in the second group was unwilling to draw the Tang Sect. Although the members of the Dragon Pavilion were all cruel, they seemed much gentler than the methods of the evil soul master.
First, the lottery was drawn in half, and the first one to draw lots was Huo Yuhao. At this time, no matter whether the Sun and Moon Empire is, or not, it may be just that the crown prince himself dislikes Longge, so he still has to give him this face.
"Slower half of the area." Huo Yuhao showed his signing to the staff.
The second draw was the Tang Sect team. Tang Ya was still wearing a black robe today, and her pretty face was covered by the veil, but Huo Yuhao noticed that she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Tang Sect, the lower half." Tang Ya completed the lottery without hesitation. She was in a good mood, because the Saint of Black Kitchen lost a list-listed carving knife in the bet of the Underground Soul Mentor Elite Competition.
The importance of carving a knife to the soul tutor is self-evident, and she is happy to see her competitors betrayal.
When hearing the words "lower half area", Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the evil soul masters on the Tang Sect were nervous. The representatives of the Xue Demon Sect and the Ao Jian Sect breathed a sigh of relief. They were happy to see the two strongest teams fighting each other. "The draw of the quarterfinals will be held below, and the representative of Longge will first draw." The official in charge of the lottery signaled Huo Yuhao to step forward.
It was Huo Yuhao's favorite card drawing session again. He took out a card from the box and shook it towards Tang Ya not far away.
"What Long Pavilion drew... Tang Sect." Huo Yuhao admired the shocked expressions of the evil soul masters for a while. Whether it was his luck or someone from the Sun and Moon Empire secretly promoted the fire, it did not affect his next arrangement. Then, he yawned and went upstairs without waiting for the lottery to finish.
Apart from the Tang Sect, members of other teams couldn't help but smile on their faces. If both Longge and Tangmen suffer losses, it will be too beneficial to other teams.
As the game continues, the number of civil teams in Mingyue Hotel is getting smaller and smaller, and most of the teams that have finished the game choose to leave. Of course, some teams choose to stay and continue to watch the game, which is a rare opportunity.
But this world is so realistic that any team that has been eliminated must be moved out of Mingyue Hotel. Therefore, there are actually only eight participating teams left in the Mingyue Hotel, which is very active, and the entire Mingyue Hotel seems empty.
"Sure enough... it's much cleaner." Mu Xing sat barefoot on the top fence of the hotel, his wide white shirt was blown up by the morning breeze.
Wang Dong rarely gets up early, and he sees this scene: the beautiful dragon sways her legs, the morning breeze lifts her slightly messy hair, holding a can of iced drink in her hand, and water droplets condensed on the surface of the aluminum can roll down, dizzying dark water stains on her knees.
But who is the sunny and cheerful golden retriever beside her? ! Is it not enough to have three-eyed golden elves? When did this golden retriever come? Looks like a dog! "Teacher!" Huo Yuhao's voice interrupted Wang Dong's heart, "Senior Nanshuishui has been rescued and is now being placed in our Long Pavilion Chamber of Commerce in Mingdu. And I also found out that the Sun and Moon Empire did not imprison those contestants in Mingdu, but moved to Risheng City about 400 miles away from Mingdu."
Mu Xing slowly turned his head, and Long Yan had already rushed to Huo Yuhao first and grabbed his shoulder, "The people from the Dragon Slayer Sect were also arrested? I just told me why I didn't see them after I went back!"
Huo Yuhao frowned. When Long Yan came to him and grabbed him, he couldn't even dodge, and he felt like his blood was suppressed.

"Let him go." Long Yan let go of his hand angrily, Mu Xing pinched the drink can into a ball, "Let's continue."
"This Risheng City is in the south of Mingdu, surrounded by endless plains. The terrain is simple, which is very unfavorable to our rescue operations. Risheng City itself is not big and has a city wall, so it is much easier to defend. Not only are there heavy troops there, but there will be strong evil soul masters and soul masters. The most troublesome thing is the soul detection guides, and I'm afraid even my simulated soul skills can't deceive them."
"What's there? Little brother, I'll go with you! Let them see the power of the sword god Douluo, and be sure to rescue everyone!" Long Yan patted his chest and promised.
"Everyone?" Mu Xing repeated, "Then do it." In fact, she didn't care much about the life and death of the contestants. At first, she just wanted to reap the people from the Dragon Gate, after all, that was an affiliated force of the Dragon Pavilion. "But before this, go and get your soul ring first." Huo Yuhao then noticed that in the swimming pool not far away, a slender and streamlined shark was sinking at the bottom of the water.
"Is that the Demon Soul Great White Shark?" Wang Dong could finally get in touch. She was still familiar with this soul beast. After all, the Sea God's mount is a Demon Soul Great White Shark with a cultivation level of more than 100,000 years.
