Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 108: The round-robin tournament ends. Mo Yuan: No, you came at the right time. (4K)

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

The round-robin tournament is still going on. In the next four round-robin matches, the opponents faced by Shrek Academy were all completely crushed like Zhengtian Academy.

Even though they were unlucky and drew the 223 tactics in the next two games, fortunately, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen had recovered from their injuries, and even Dai Yuheng was able to play.

Although Wang Yan did not let the two of them play for the final victory, the Shrek people, who were more confident, did not encounter any accidents and all defeated their opponents with thunderous force to win the victory.

Wang Yan also fulfilled his promise, and Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan and Ning Tian, ​​three players who had not yet played, all had the opportunity to show themselves.

When the other teams saw that Shrek Academy had actually sent out two three-ring soul masters, they were still wondering whether something big had really happened at Shrek Academy. But in the end, without exception, all their worries disappeared under the confident attitude of the Shrek team members.

At the same time, the round-robin tournament has finally come to an end. Only four more rounds of competition are needed to decide the final champion of the competition.

And tomorrow will be the most intense knockout round of 16 to 8.

The moon is above the branches, and the stars are sparse at night.

After finishing the round-robin tournament, the Shrek team returned to the conference room on the top floor after dinner and listened to Wang Yan, who had just returned from the Xingluo Palace after drawing lots, talk about the upcoming schedule.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wang Yan slowly spoke,
"The results of the draw for the top 8 of the 16 have been announced. Tomorrow we will face the Douling Empire's top-ranked Soul Master Academy, which is far superior to our previous opponents in terms of strength."

"But fortunately, Ma Xiaotao and the others have almost fully recovered, so everyone doesn't need to worry. Just stay calm and fight as usual tomorrow."

Hearing this, everyone found a suspicious point in this statement. Ma Xiaotao asked doubtfully,

"That's not right, Teacher Wang. How could the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy meet us so soon? Didn't they qualify as the first place in their group?"

Dai Yueheng echoed, "Yes, according to the rules of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, in the round of 16, the teams that advance with the highest points in their group will not be drawn against each other."

Wang Yan nodded. "You're right. Common sense suggests this is how it should have been. But I don't know what the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy was thinking. In the end, they deliberately let us lose a game and ended up second in the group stage."

"They definitely didn't do this to deliberately increase the difficulty for themselves. They definitely have other plans or some hidden tricks up their sleeve. Unfortunately, they met us in the first round, and all their tactics were just a desperate defense."

"That's right. I wonder if the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy will regret the decision they made in the round-robin tournament when they find out that our opponent is us." Beibei said happily.

"Of course, we should not underestimate our opponents. We must have the confidence to defeat them, but we must also take them seriously during the game.

The Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy is composed of five Soul Kings and two Soul Masters. In addition to martial souls, the Douling Academy is also the first soul guide academy in the Douling Empire. Every member of the team can more or less make and use soul guides.

It can be said that the Douling Academy team is composed of seven Soul Kings to a certain extent, and even Zhengtian Academy cannot compare with them."

Wang Yan reminded him, and then he explained in detail the specific rules of the knockout round of 18 to 6.

“It is also important to note that the competition rules for each stage of the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition are different, especially the final elimination stage. In order to make the competition more exciting and allow the participating students to better demonstrate their strength, the competition method will no longer be determined by drawing lots.

Instead, they will first have a seven-on-seven team match, followed by an individual elimination match. Even if you win the first team match, it doesn't guarantee you'll advance. In the subsequent individual elimination match, if the losing team can defeat all seven of the opposing team with just three players, they can still turn the tables."

"Conversely, the team that wins the team battle only needs to defeat the opponent's three players with their seven players in the individual elimination rounds to secure victory. This format of competition provides players with outstanding individual skills with a great opportunity to showcase their abilities. It's safe to say that anyone who can single-handedly turn the tide and secure victory in the elimination rounds will quickly become a renowned talent across the continent."

Wang Yan smiled thankfully when he said this, "Fortunately, the injuries of Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Dai Yueheng have recovered. Let alone the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, even if we meet the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, we have a high probability of winning."

"So, next time we face the Battle Spirit Academy, the team battle will be between you, Mo Yuan, and Ling Luochen, along with the rest of the reserve team. The individual competition will depend on the situation, but generally, it will be Mo Yuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng."

"No problem, there are only seven soul kings in Cricket. I can use my heavenly hand to send Brother Mo in front of them, and they will be blown away, right?" Xu Sanshi laughed.

After several games, Xu Sanshi had already fallen in love with using Xuanming to replace various evil people. He even did nothing else but send the opponent's players under He Caitou's soul guide cannon.

Such an insidious move made all the teams that had played against him complain bitterly. They could not defend against it, and they could not defeat it either. As a result, many female fans of other teams chased him every day.

In this way, Xu Sanshi's previous wish of being pursued by girls was also realized, but the result was slightly different.

"Oh, by the way, Mo Yuan, I think you haven't finished talking about how you were defeated before? Since you're free now, why don't you continue?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Mo Yuan expectantly and said, because she had fought with Mo Yuan more than once, she knew very well how terrifying Mo Yuan's strength was.

Therefore, she was very curious about who the person who could defeat Mo Yuan was. Not only that, she always felt that Mo Yuan was deliberately concealing something when he talked about this matter, and his emotions were not right.

As for why Ma Xiaotao thinks so, don’t ask, it’s just a woman’s sixth sense.

Ma Xiaotao's words instantly aroused everyone's curiosity. Even Ling Luochen, who always had a cold and serious face, stared at Mo Yuan like a curious baby.

"Say it quickly."

"Yeah, I almost forgot about this. Brother Mo, was the person who defeated you a man or a woman? If it's a woman, is she good-looking? How strong is she?"

"The same question."

"..."

Hiss... How come they still remember this? Do they have such a good memory?

Looking at the pairs of curious eyes and the various gossips and questions that kept coming to his ears, Mo Yuan suddenly felt a toothache.

Fortunately, just when Mo Yuan was thinking of making an excuse to get away with it, a crisp knock on the door came from outside the meeting room.

Hearing this, Mo Yuan felt relieved and quickly stood up. "Someone's coming. I'll go open the door. We can talk about this later when we have time."

Seeing this, everyone, whose curiosity had reached its peak, was instantly disappointed. It was like a challenge; they were about to enjoy it, but had to hold back just at the last moment. The resentful crowd turned their heads towards the conference room door, ready to see who had ruined their fun.

Mo Yuan opened the door and a beautiful female face came into view. The woman had long golden hair draped over her shoulders, delicate features, skin whiter than snow, clear and indifferent eyes, moist and bright red lips, and an elegant and noble temperament.

The person who came was Princess Xingluo, Xu Jiujiu.

After seeing that it was Mo Yuan who opened the door for him, Xu Jiujiu instantly had a perfect smile on his face, and his eyes showed just the right amount of surprise, which he grasped perfectly.

However, just when Xu Jiujiu wanted to say something to Mo Yuan, he suddenly saw that everyone in the Shrek conference room was staring at him with displeasure.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a long time and said,

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm not here at the right time?"

"No, you came just in time."

After saying this, Mo Yuan felt a little strange, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Wait, am I becoming Li Xun Huan?!

Forget it, no matter who comes, even if it is an evil soul master, as long as he can rescue Mo Yuan, he will be very welcome.

Mo Yuan was in a good mood and didn't bother to care about the conflict he had with Xu Jiujiu. He opened the door and brought Xu Jiujiu into the meeting room.

When the Shrek people saw that the person coming was Xu Jiujiu, the displeasure on their faces became more and more obvious. They would not forget that on the first day they arrived in Xingluo City, they were bullied by Xu Jiujiu and a Titled Douluo.

It was because Xu Jiujiu had a noble status, otherwise several people would have scolded him long ago.

Sensing everyone's dislike for him, Xu Jiujiu did not retreat, but walked slowly to the front of the crowd, with an apologetic look on his face, bowed slightly to everyone, and said,
"I know that your court has quite a few complaints against me because of what happened a few days ago. After returning to the palace, I thought about it for a long time and realized that I was wrong in that matter. So now, on behalf of you and the late Grandma Manyi, I offer my most sincere apology to you all.

Especially Mo Yuan, I hope you can put aside the past grudges. If you need anything in the future, Xu Jiujiu and even the Xingluo Royal Family will do their best to help you."

It has to be said that as a member of the royal family and Xu Jiawei's most beloved sister, Xu Jiujiu is indeed perfect in acting.

Both his expression and words were full of sincerity, which immediately dissipated most of the anger in the hearts of the people present.

However, there are those who accept it, and naturally there are also those who don't buy it.

For example, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen and Ning Tian.

"If Your Highness Princess has come here specifically to apologize, then you can go back now. Our small courtyard cannot accommodate a princess of your noble status. If you think that one of us has offended you later, and you attract the attack of a Titled Douluo... Ha!"

Ling Luochen, who had always been cold-tempered, changed his usual demeanor and ridiculed Xu Jiujiu without any hesitation.

She would never forget what Xu Jiujiu did to Mo Yuan that day. If she hadn't been unable to show up due to her injury, she would not have been as good-tempered as Ning Tian and let it go.

Faced with this undisguised sarcasm, Xu Jiujiu did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he looked at Ling Luochen with a puzzled expression.

"I wonder who this sister is? I don't think I've seen you since that day or since then. Could you be Mo Yuan's girlfriend?

If that's the case, then you're right. It's normal for you to be angry with me. To express my apology, Xu Jiujiu is willing to make compensation to you, sister."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Ling Luochen's face froze, and Ma Xiaotao and Ning Tian beside her also cast inquiring glances at her.

Wow, what she said is worthy of being a royal princess, her level is really high... Mo Yuan's expression was extremely wonderful, but since the situation just now had been resolved, he didn't want to have any more contact with Xu Jiujiu, so he said.

"I accept your apology. After all, the source, Xing Fan Douluo, has been killed by Ye Xuan. This matter has come to an end and there is no need to mention it again."

"That's good. Although you've forgiven me, Mo Yuan, my promise still stands. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."

Xu Jiujiu deliberately emphasized the word "any". Hearing this, Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew without thinking carefully that this was Xu Jiawei's way of winning him over.

Then Xu Jiujiu took out a stack of exquisite gold-stamped invitations from the soul guide, and the invitations were printed with sparkling stars.

"In addition, I came here not only to apologize to you all, but also to invite you to participate in tonight's Starlight Auction. Since the Xingluo Empire is currently holding its once-in-twenty-years Soul Master Competition, this auction is unprecedentedly grand. I believe there will definitely be something that you are all interested in."

"In addition to the auction items, the Starlight Auction House will also provide customized spirit rings for you to choose from. If you have a spirit beast you like, even if you haven't reached a breakthrough yet, you can still choose it first. The Starlight Auction House will provide delivery service."

Wang Yan took the invitation and turned to look at the Shrek group. He saw that except for Mo Yuan, who still had a calm look, the others all had more or less anticipation in their eyes.

Yes, this may be the most grand auction held by the Starlight Auction House in the past 20 years. There will definitely be a lot of precious treasures. Even if you can't afford them, it's good to take a look.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Princess. After we discuss the tactics for the upcoming match, we will naturally go to the Starlight Auction House."

After saying that, Xu Jiujiu didn't stay any longer. He politely declined Wang Yan's offer to see him off and left the meeting room directly, closing the door before leaving.

"What do you mean? Does anyone want to go?" Wang Yan asked with a smile, waving the invitation in his hand.

"Of course I have to go! Although I don't think I can buy any of the auction items, this doesn't stop me from being greedy." Xu Sanshi said happily.

"After such a long period of intense competition, it would be nice to relax for a while."

"Seconded."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Yan distributed the invitations one by one. After everyone returned to their rooms, took off their school uniforms and changed into casual clothes, a group of ten people walked out of the Xinghuang Hotel and headed for the magnificent attic that stood in the center of the city.
