Chapter 604: Xiaojiaziqi!
A new day came, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan yawned and walked down from the top floor of the hotel with everyone from the Shrek team.
When I went downstairs, I happened to bump into Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire and Princess Wei Na of the Tianhun Empire.
When Princess Jiujiu saw Jiang Ming and the others, she said hello with a smile, but her eyes looked a little weird.
You must know that after a soul master breaks through the Titled Douluo in cultivation, his physical strength will be greatly increased.
In this case, how intense would these two people have to be at night before they come out yawning early in the morning?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s unimaginable.
Faced with Princess Jiujiu’s weird look, Jiang Ming didn’t care.
Because when he and Zhang Lexuan went out, they were looked at like this by other members of the Shrek team.
"Good morning. Let's go together?"
Jiang Ming said politely.
Princess Jiujiu and Princess Weina were not polite at all and nodded directly.
As a result, the original team of nearly 30 people from Team Shrek and Team Tang Sect grew again, to a total of more than 50 people!
A group of people walked out of the hotel in a hurry, attracting a lot of attention.
“You have a game at Shrek Academy today. Are you confident?”
Princess Jiujiu looked at Jiang Ming and asked softly.
Actually, this is nonsense. With the strength of Shrek Academy, as long as it does not encounter those very powerful colleges or sect forces, it will basically be a crushing situation.
"Well, it's useless for you to ask me. Qiu'er, how are you? Are you confident?"
Jiang Ming turned his head and glanced at Wang Qiu'er behind him, and asked softly.
Wang Qiuer still looked cold and cold, with a hint of golden light in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yes."
His words were concise, but his tone was very confident.
In fact, Wang Qiuer's current strength, together with the rest of the Shrek team, is definitely a strong team even if it is not as strong as the Tang Sect!
Jiang Ming smiled and said: "Here, you see, I have confidence."
Princess Jiujiu glanced at Wang Qiuer and nodded: "Shrek Academy is still Shrek Academy, its strength is good Ah!”
After the previous games, she could naturally see that the overall strength of the Tang Sect’s participants was higher than that of the Shrek team.
But even if the Shrek team is only a second team, it is still extremely powerful.
Princess Wei Na didn’t say anything. In fact, the connection between Tianhun Empire and Shrek Academy is already one step closer than that of Star Luo Empire.
The Noumenon Sect has established a friendly relationship with Shrek Academy, and now the Noumenon Sect is the country-protecting sect of the Tianhun Empire.
Although Shrek Academy has always aimed not to favor any empire, with this relationship, it has gained some advantages.
While chatting and laughing, a few people arrived at the competition venue.
Today's audience didn't seem to be in high spirits. Perhaps it was because they witnessed the failure of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy yesterday. As people of the Sun and Moon Empire, it was normal for them to be depressed.
In fact, not only the people, but also the Crown Prince Xu Tianran and the Master of Mingde Hall Jing Hongchen, who were sitting on the rostrum, looked unhappy.
Obviously, what happened yesterday really affected their mood.
Moreover, the theft cases in Mingdu in the past few days have not been concealed, and the news has reached Xu Tianran.
The corrupt officials did not dare to report the theft, but the nobles were so distressed that they went to the Mingdu officials on the day of the theft, hoping that the stolen precious treasures and rare metals could be recovered. Chase back.
Because of its huge value, Mingdu officials also attach great importance to it.
And because the time when these nobles were stolen was the same as the time when the corrupt officials were stolen, the officials who were stolen also directly put pressure on those investigating.
They finally took risks to enrich their own pockets from the interests of the empire and saved up so much money. They did not expect that it would be empty in one day. The psychological gap was so huge.
Xu Tianran was actually aware of the corruption of officials in various ministries of Mingdu, and even the corruption of the entire Sun and Moon Empire.
Theoretically, corrupt officials in the empire should be completely eliminated.
However, even if Xu Tianran wants to move the interests involved, it is extremely difficult.
A corrupt person cannot be solely corrupt.
Those who are greedy alone will be envied and hated by others and will not last long.
The greedy people, whose interests are colluded and who protect each other, may not last long, but if they want to move, it will be very troublesome.
Trouble usually makes people fearful.
"Master Hongchen, who do you think is responsible for these thefts in Mingdu?"
Xu Tianran asked softly with his hands on both sides of the wheelchair.
Jing Hongchen frowned, it was not easy to answer this.
After thinking about it, Jing Hongchen replied: "There were thefts in Mingdu before. Judging from the deeds, it may be the same one. However, after the treasure troves of these nobles were looted, they used fixed souls. The missile shells directly destroyed the treasure house. This seems to be a deliberate attempt to cover up the traces."
Xu Tianran nodded and said: "Yes, it blew up the place and covered up all traces. This is a theft. Who could it be?”
He said quietly, but his eyes fell on Jiang Ming who was sitting in the viewing booth.
His intuition told him that this matter had something to do with Jiang Ming.
As if sensing Xu Tianran's gaze, Jiang Ming raised his head slightly, looked into Xu Tianran's eyes, and smiled slightly.
Then he ignored Xu Tianran and started watching the Shrek team's game on the stage.
When Xu Tianran saw this, his eyes gradually became cold.
Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Jiang Ming or not, Jiang Ming must die!
Must die!
Xu Tianran tightened his grip on the armrest of the wheelchair, leaving a deep mark on the armrest.
On the competition stage, Team Shrek has already won the opponent's round.
They faced a sect with good strength. In fact, in this competition, the sect's overall strength was stronger than the college's overall strength.
After all, the sect provides targeted training and inheritance. Although the college also has strong teacher resources, it is indeed less targeted.
And in terms of training, because the sect is a lifelong system, it is still very willing to tilt resources. After all, they will be the mainstay of their own family in the future.
But as for the college, students have to leave the college after graduation, so resources cannot be allocated too much. This also leads to the fact that compared with the sect, the overall strength of the academy is indeed a lower level.
But it still depends on the situation.
For example, the team Shrek is facing now, the All-Soul King's lineup, if this was placed in the last competition, they would probably be qualified to compete for the semi-finals.
But now, after encountering the Shrek team, we can only stop at the round robin.
The first person to take the stage was Dai Huabin. With the same level of soul king cultivation, he defeated the other two soul kings!
In the subsequent games, Wu Feng and Xie Huanyue also won one game each and then came down.
It is worth mentioning that their tactics are relatively good. Dai Huabin fought twice and consumed a lot of soul power. Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng behind him just stalled for time and tried to restore Dai Huabin's soul. opportunity.
With their lineup, it would be easy to win in team battles with Ning Tian, a powerful assistant from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Soon, the individual battle of Team Shrek ended and the team battle officially began.
Following the referee Bupo Douluo's order, Wang Qiuer, Dai Huabin and Wu Feng, the three main attack-type soul masters, rushed out directly.
Xie Huanyue, Zhou Chen, Cao Jinxuan and the others surrounded Ning Tian to control and defend.
"The seven treasures are famous, one is power! The second is speed! The third is soul!"
Ning Tian immediately gave his teammates a powerful boost. In an instant, the three major attack-type soul masters at the front directly possessed the strength of Soul Saint and Soul Emperor!
Coupled with Cao Jinxuan's perfect timing control skills, the opponent's formation was broken through instantly.
After breaking through the formation, there was nothing left to say. Wang Qiuer held the golden spear and swept across the room invincibly, suppressing the three opponent soul kings by himself!
And this suppression did not last long. Under Wang Qiuer's strong attack, the three soul kings were swept away by spears and lost their combat effectiveness.
The fight between Dai Huabin and Wu Feng was a little more difficult. One faced two, which took a long time, but they successfully solved their opponents.
"Well, not bad."
In the viewing booth, Jiang Ming looked at the performance of the Shrek team and nodded slightly.
The current Shrek team is trying to win the game while preserving its strength as much as possible.
Being able to do this is enough.
After the Shrek team's game ended, Jiang Ming and his group did not leave, but continued to watch the Star Luo Royal Academy's game.
The strength of Xingluo Royal Academy has even dropped a bit compared to the last competition. After all, Princess Jiujiu was present in the last competition.
However, judging from the performance on the competition stage, there should be no problem for Xingluo Royal Academy to compete for the top eight.
As for Wei Na’s team
Snow Demon Sect. It seems to be an inconspicuous small sect, but it has managed to survive such a fierce competition until now.
The reason is that the members of this Snow Demon Sect team are all members of the Noumenon Sect.
Even Long Aotian, the young sect leader of the Noumenon Sect, did not appear, and the Snow Demon Sect team had already entered the round robin, which was enough to show how powerful the Noumenon Sect was.
However, as time goes by, the opponents encountered in the competition become more and more powerful, and the fact that the Snow Demon Sect is the Noumenon Sect will soon be exposed.
After all, the original martial soul of the Noumenon Sect is easy to identify.
Star Luo Royal Academy and Snow Demon Sect both successfully won the competition. It was not too difficult for them.
One day has passed, and the second day of the first round of the round robin has ended. It is getting dark, and people have returned to Mingdu City. Most of them have not chosen to rest. All restaurants, restaurants, The bars were full.
People's talk is not only focused on the Continental Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition, but also another competition in which they can participate and even gain profits - the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition.
After the qualifying round and the first round of the main competition, the three major divisions of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition have already produced their names for the second round.
Starting from the second round, the betting methods become more diverse.
The soul master competition is different from the soul master competition. There is not such a fierce confrontation. Everyone is making soul guides in a fair environment, but the uncertainty is stronger.
Because this is a black market competition, most of the soul masters who come to participate cherish their reputations and usually participate anonymously. Each of them only has a number that belongs to them. The public can only see their performance in previous games from the materials distributed by the three major underground forces.
Tonight, the second round of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition is about to begin. One of the most attractive betting methods among people is to bet on how long it will take for the first person to complete the competition.
This has intervals - the shortest is half an hour, then half an hour to an hour, one hour to one and a half hours, and so on. It’s not that the longer the time, the lower the odds, but that the middle level of time has the lowest odds, while the odds at both ends are much higher.
For example, if you bet on the first person to finish the race in less than half an hour, the odds are as high as five times, but if it takes half an hour to an hour, the odds are only three times. The lowest one is from two and a half hours to three and a half hours, and the odds are only 1 to 2.
There are also more introductions to the second round of competition. The competition lasts for five hours, starting tonight and ending in the early morning of tomorrow.
Within five hours, all participating soul mentors from the three major forces will make a level 4 or above offensive soul guide that they are satisfied with. If you make a level five soul guide, you will be promoted directly without the need for a power test.
The soul masters who have made fourth-level soul guides have one more soul guide competition than the previous round.
Each soul master will hold his own soul guide and launch it in a special test firing area, and data will be recorded for each launch. The five people with the least powerful soul guides will be eliminated. At the same time, those soul engineers who were unable to complete the production of the fourth-level soul guidance device within the specified time were also eliminated.
The elimination rate in this round of competition is not too high, but it has begun to become cruel. No one can be sure that the soul guidance device they make is more powerful than the soul guidance device of the same level made by others.
Under this situation, they naturally had no choice but to make as powerful a soul guide as possible. The pressure of competition will make soul engineers more likely to show their true strength.
There are many other ways to gamble. The three major underground forces are very knowledgeable about human nature and can almost guarantee that every gambler can find the gambling method they want.
In the Aodu Hotel, Mingjiang transformed into contestant Ah Shai and quietly arrived.
In the VIP area, Ah Shai didn't care about the information about his opponent's soul master's previous games.
He looked at Kano aside and asked with interest: "I heard that there are many ways to bet on today's game?"
Kano nodded and answered in a deep voice. He said: "Yes, this time."
Ah Shai waved his hand and said: "Which one has the highest odds?"
Kano said: "Betting on the first person to finish the race will take less than half an hour, and the odds are as high as five times."
Hearing this, Ah Shai's eyes lit up under his mask.
"How many gold soul coins do I have left with you now?"
Before, he just left the card here and let them take care of it, at least for the sake of it. Let him earn some money for Ming Jiang's sake.
Kano responded: "Your current card, including the gold soul coins you originally owned, totals 12,567,000 gold soul coins."
Ah Shai was a little dissatisfied when he heard this number.
"You only make so much money? In this way, if you place a bet with five times the odds for me, I will make a lot of money."
Kano's face changed slightly and said: "Then it's better to bet one million gold soul coins?"
Ah Shuai rolled his eyes and said: "You're so arrogant! One million is too slow to make money! Five times is only five million, just give it to me Go all-in! I want to make a big profit!”
