Dai Yueheng said doubtfully: "Teacher Wang, we qualified as the first in the group in the round-robin competition. Judging from the strength of the Douling Royal Academy, we should also be the first in the group. How did we draw lots to draw them? They are not in the group. Will the first place in the sixteen-to-eight lottery draw only the second place in the other groups?"
Wang Yandao: "Based on strength, Dou Ling Royal Academy should be the first in the group, but in fact it is not the case. . There was a dark horse in their group, and they maintained a complete victory before encountering them. But for some reason, Dou Ling Royal Academy gave up the last game against that dark horse academy and ended up in second place. "I didn't expect to bump into us."
Ma Xiaotao said: "Is there something wrong with this? Dou Ling Royal Academy is also an established academy. They don't know the importance of being first in the group." . What is the reason for them to give up being first in the group? Is it just to recharge their batteries?" Wang Yandao: "I have also thought about this problem. The difference between first and second in the group is only ten. Six to eight. It means nothing after this one. Dou Ling Royal Academy must be relying on something, and it must be very hidden. Fortunately, we also hid you. He and Yao Heng have not yet appeared. With you here, there won't be any big problems. Okay, let me tell you the rules of the knockout stage first."
"High-level soul masters in the continent. The Academy Soul Fighting Competition has been developing for tens of thousands of years, and the rules of the competition have been constantly changing. In order to make the competition more exciting, and to better demonstrate the overall strength of the participating colleges, there will be changes in the competition method and the front. The difference is that the knockout round is no longer determined by drawing lots. Each knockout round will be divided into two days. Winning the team battle does not mean that you will be able to qualify on the second day. In the individual knockout round, if you can defeat all seven of the opponent's team with less than three players, you can turn defeat into a victory. The team that wins the team battle only needs to defeat three of the opponent's team with the strength of seven people to ensure qualifying. .”
"This competition system not only reflects the importance of the overall strength of the team, but also gives opportunities to teams with strong individual strength. For example, our team has Soul Emperor-level powerhouses like Xiao Tao and Yao Heng. If we fight in a team They lost, but they shined in the individual competition, and they eliminated all seven of the opponent. So, we can still win this knockout round. Therefore, the knockout round is also a test for the whole team. It is also a great opportunity to show one’s personal strength. A truly powerful academy will focus on cultivating the best students, just to turn the tide in the individual competition in the knockout stage.”
The knockout stage turns out to be this way of competition. , which really surprised everyone. Huo Yuhao asked: "Teacher Wang, what should I do if I am injured or consumed too much in the team battle and cannot participate in the individual competition?"
Wang Yandao: "Then it depends on the depth of the bench. Each front The colleges that come to the competition all bring reserve teams. Just like you are originally a reserve team. Once the situation you mentioned occurs to the main players, the reserve team must step up."
"Beibei, Xu Sanshi. You two have recovered. If you need to use those abilities in the knockout round, can you do it?”
Wang Yan was naturally referring to Beibei’s Golden Holy Dragon Spirit and Xu Sanshi’s Xuanwu. .
Beibei nodded and said: "I should be able to do it. My martial soul improvement is not as great as three stones. But the advantage is that I can control its appearance. After using it once, it will be like my junior brother's martial soul fusion skill." , I can use it again after three days of rest. But I can only stabilize this ability when I reach the seventh level."
I'll just say that. No. Because I can't control it, my martial soul can only mutate under a particularly strong stimulus. But like Beibei, if I can reach the soul saint level, then everything will be different. Question."
Wang Yan nodded slightly and said: "Then I understand. Now I will arrange the players for tomorrow's game. Our opponents tomorrow will be the four from the previous session. Strong. So we must go all out. Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong. The seven of you will participate in the team battle with Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao taking control. Let's attack each other head-on and use our strength to defeat them. Caitou, you can also make some cigars later and distribute them to everyone."
" Yes," He Caitou said.
Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "I have nothing to do."
Wang Yan smiled slightly and said: "At the end of the game, no one can guarantee that there will be no personnel injuries. As a rotation lineup, you are equally important. In the previous games, you have done a good job. You, Nan Nan and Caitou We must also be prepared to join the battle at any time. Next, I will arrange the tactics for tomorrow’s team battle. No matter what the Dou Ling Royal Academy prepares, we must give them a showdown first.”
The return of the Soul Emperor made Wang Yan now full of confidence in victory. They still need four knockout games to stabilize the final championship. Although the following games will be difficult, they will not be as difficult as the reserve team's match against Zhengtian College.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Wang Yan frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell the service staff not to disturb us?"
A pleasant female voice came from outside the door, "Sorry to bother you, I'm not Service staff, I’m from Starlight Auction House.”
Starlight Auction House? Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Wang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Beibei, who was closest to the door, had already stood up and gave Wang Yan a questioning look. After seeing Wang Yan's affirmative nod, he walked over. Leave the door open.
A woman in a long black dress stood outside the door. She looked about 28 or 29 years old, which is the age when women have mature charm but always have a youthful air.
Huo Yuhao and the others all knew each other, it was the auctioneer they attended the auction that day, Qing Ya.
Qing Ya's eyes directly found Wang Yan, smiled slightly, and saluted Wang Yan: "Hello, Teacher Wang. I have taken the liberty to disturb you. I'm really sorry."
Wang Yan saw It was him, his eyes seemed a little softer, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want? Qingya Auctioneer? And how did you find this place?" The surprise for everyone is, two small updates. The word count is always higher than usual. Hope you all like it.
