Douluo 2: The sickly sister is the group's favorite

Chapter 79 Apprenticeship
Zhou Yi turned to the crowd and said, "I just asked, there are 133 participating teams. After the elimination round, there are 67 teams left."

"The second round is a round-robin tournament. The 67 teams will be divided into eight groups for round-robin matches. There will only be two games a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

That is, if they play in the morning of the first day, the afternoon and the next day can be used for recovery.

Wang Yan continued, "Before each match begins, there will be a draw for the competition system. There are three types of competition systems: single elimination, three-on-two cooperative battle mode, and seven-on-seven team battle. The competition will be conducted in the mode that you draw."

"After that, the top sixteen teams in the round-robin tournament will compete in the elimination ranking tournament."

Several reserve players couldn't help but get nervous when they heard that the first round was a knockout round. According to the injuries of the regular players, they would definitely not be able to play in the first round.

If they didn't hold on, Shrek's reputation would be ruined. As the number one school on the continent, if they were eliminated in the first place, they would really become a laughing stock.

Wang Yan comforted him, "Don't be so nervous. The fact that you can participate in the competition as the reserve team of Shrek Academy is enough to show your strength."

"And do you think that Xiaotao and the others are so strong? In fact, that's not the case. The age limit for the competition is under 20 years old. It's rare for players from other academies to have three rings, and it's even rarer to have four rings."

"Unless you encounter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, you don't need to worry about the others. You have four soul masters with the best soul ring configuration, two twin martial souls, and one ultimate martial soul. The ones you should worry about are them."

"We just need to hold on until the fourth round of the round-robin tournament, and then Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng and the others can come back to compete."

Zhou Yi also smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Let's go back and rest first. We still have to find some medicine for Xiao Tao and the others."

After they left, Wang Yan sighed, sat in his seat and covered his face with his hands. The atmosphere in the whole room became depressed.

"Teacher Wang, apart from Xixi's place, does the college have no other reinforcements?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

"There are only so many people in the inner courtyard. According to the information given by Master Xuan, they are all out on inspection missions." Wang Yan was desperate. This happened the first time he led a team to participate in the competition.

"Your injuries must not be disclosed to anyone. Now we can only hope that they can survive the first round of games."

Ma Xiaotao nodded. They also knew how much of a sensation this news would cause if it were leaked.

"I can fully recover in about ten days. If they can hold on, I can play in the fourth game of the knockout stage." Chen Zifeng stepped forward.

Ling Luochen continued: "I'm almost the same."

"It will take us about 12 to 14 days." Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng were able to resist the explosion with their soul skills, so they only suffered internal injuries. However, Dai Yuheng's soul power was lower than Ma Xiaotao's, so he needed two days longer than her.

Gong Yangmo lowered his head, "I need January like this."

Logically speaking, the previous attack was blocked by Huo Yuxi, and the aftermath was resisted by Chen Zifeng and Ling Luochen, so his condition should not be so serious.

But after he was injured, he forced Huo Yuxi to run so far, which exhausted his soul power and made his injuries worse.

Yao Haoxuan smiled bitterly, "My injury will take at least two months to heal."

He prepared for so long, but in the end he could only watch the battle from the audience.

Xixi didn’t take as long as him, but it also took about a month and a half.

Wang Yan didn't know how to comfort them, so he reached out and patted the three of them on the shoulders, "At least we can still stand here now, I believe they will win."…

The game was about to start, and Huo Yuxi had almost recovered, so Elder Xuan took her to set off. This time he couldn't take her with him like he did when he came back, so he found a carriage.

After seeing the beautiful carriage, Huo Yuxi recalled the fear of being dominated when he went to the treasure viewing party before, and he felt like vomiting before he even got on.

The old man next to her took out a bracelet-shaped storage soul guide and said, "Xixi, you must protect yourself. I got this from Qian Duoduo. If you encounter a situation that you can't handle, take out the soul guide inside."

"There are protective, offensive, and healing ones. Don't forget the training methods I taught you. They are all good for your martial spirit."

“Got it.” Huo Yuxi accepted it and said, “Teacher, please go back first. I’m just going to watch their game and will be back soon.”

After watching her get on the carriage, the old man warned Xuan Lao loudly, "Xuan Zi, protect my little disciple well. If she comes back with a missing hair, I will never forgive you."

"Don't worry." Not sure if Master Xuan did it on purpose, but the carriage was moving very fast and Huo Yuxi could no longer see the old man.

She looked at the bracelet in her hand, feeling a little bitter. She hadn't said anything since she woke up. After the old man saw through her situation, in order to balance the two attributes of her martial spirit, he specially found her a nearly extinct cultivation method.

Huo Yuxi didn't know how to repay him, so he agreed to become his disciple on impulse.

She had been unwilling to become a disciple before because she wanted to follow Huo Yuhao. Now that she had received a positive response from the Sea God Pavilion Master Mu Lao, Huo Yuhao would become an inner court disciple, so she naturally had no worries.

Secondly, there is an unwritten rule in Douluo Continent that each person can only have one teacher in their lifetime. She also made this decision after understanding it for a long time.

But after becoming his disciple, she truly respected this unremarkable teacher.

"Master Xuan, how far do we have to go?" Huo Yuxi felt that this carriage was still beyond her ability to bear.

The road was flat, but she still felt the bumps and her stomach acid was churning wildly.

The last time they used the flying soul guide, she followed Master Xuan and thought that Xu Sanshi and the others could not endure it. After switching to a horse-drawn carriage, she felt that she seemed to be even worse.

"It's still far away, you have to hold on." Old Xuan said with a smile beside him.

It took them 7 days to reach Xingluo City. As the capital of Xingluo Empire, the prosperity here was no less than that of Shrek City.

Huo Yuxi felt completely exhausted. She was dragged by Master Xuan to the hotel where Ma Xiaotao and the others were staying. She found that this place was simply "inhumane".

A total of 133 colleges participated in the competition, with a dozen people from each school, which totaled to nearly 2,000 people, in addition to specially invited audiences and businessmen who took the opportunity to follow.

There were also several thousand people. This hotel could actually accommodate so many people, and the magnificent decorations made her eyes dazzled.

As the consecutive champions, Shrek Academy was arranged to stay in the luxurious suite on the top floor, with each person having a bedroom. Now that Huo Yuxi is here, naturally they have to book a room as well.

After Mr. Xuan negotiated with the front desk, he handed the room card to Huo Yuxi and left.

With his strength and status, he could go to watch the game whenever he wanted. Anyway, there would be no danger here, so he felt relieved.
