"The first group, the qualified teams - Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy, Yuling Sect!"
"The second group, the qualified team - Di'ao Academy..."
"The third group, the qualified teams - Haotian Sect, Tianlongmen!"
“…”
"Group Seven, qualifying teams - Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, Shrek Academy!"
"The eighth group, the qualified teams - Snow Demon Sect, Proud Sword Sect!"
As the names were announced one by one on the giant screen.
After a week, the group stage also came to an end.
Several dark horses appeared, including Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, Aojian Sect, and the long-unseen Tianlong Sect.
Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy was unlucky enough to be grouped with Shrek Academy, but it also showed impressive strength, especially the team leader Xu Tianzhen, who reached the Soul Saint realm at the age of seventeen. The regular team members he led were at least Soul Kings and Level 5 Soul Instructors, which were able to catch up with the level of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy that the audience had originally expected.
It also almost caused the originally arrogant and careless Shrek Academy to fall.
After all, they naturally wouldn't pay much attention to a little-known team that was second only to the Royal Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire. Plus, it was a group match and there was room for error, so they let the reserve team practice.
As a result, when the opponent showed Xu Tianzhen's strength as a seventh-level soul mentor and his martial soul true form of pure bloodline sun, he was completely confused.
Each team plays seven games in the group stage, with two points for each win and none for a loss.
And each game has three modes: team battle, individual elimination, and two-two-three.
Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy was lucky enough to be drawn into a team battle. When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other and naturally fight with real anger. But Shrek underestimated the enemy, most of whom were reserve team members. They wanted to show their humiliation to the Sun Moon Empire, but they were beaten up by a group led by Xu Tianzhen. Beibei gritted his teeth watching below, but he was not allowed to go on the court. He could only stare and watch his teammates being thrown down one by one.
Coincidentally, they did not meet Shrek Academy again in the subsequent group matches. After entering the round of 16, their hopes were probably even slimmer.
So Beibei was unable to take revenge.
The second "dark horse" is the Ao Jian Sect.
On average, they are all at the Soul King level, and the regular team captain Wu Moufan is even at the Soul Emperor level. However, compared to the killing-crazy Sun-Moon Empire Royal Academy, this so-called dark horse seems a little dim.
The status of Tianlongmen in the Douluo Continent is already very high, but because it defected to the Sun Moon Empire, it disappeared for a long time. It only reappeared recently, led by a Soul Saint and with all its members being Soul Kings, it only lost to the Haotian Sect, which is in its heyday, and advanced to the next round as the second in the group.
There is also a veteran team, Dio Academy.
It is a royal academy affiliated to the Douling Empire. It made it to the semi-finals last term (although that was due to the fact that Shrek Academy was kicked out early), but the team is not too weak and has a Soul Emperor as the team leader.
…
“Wow~”
Accompanied by the announcement of the qualifying group.
The heated discussions in the venue were like a surging wave.
"Lululu~you'll be pissed to death"
Xu Tianzhen stuck out his tongue and made faces at Beibei on the opposite side.
Seeing that the latter's face was as black as charcoal and his whole body was showing signs of losing control, he quickly hid behind Xu Cheng, poked his head out, and continued to make faces.
Seeing Beibei's terribly gloomy face, Xu Cheng naturally understood.
The other side was originally aiming for the first place.
It would be fine if they lost to the Sun-Moon Empire, but they even lost a game to the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy. Even if this game did not affect the outcome, it was a shame for Beibei, who was striving for the fame of Shrek.
An indelible shame.
I guess Beibei wanted to die after seeing Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, which was ahead of him and ranked first in the group stage.
"hehe……"
Xu Cheng smiled and touched Xu Tianzhen's head.
He showed a gentle smile.
Ignored the Shrek Academy across the street.
When Beibei saw Xu Cheng, reason quickly took over his brain, his arms trembled slightly, and he looked away without any expression.
Old Xuan said that this guy is no longer a human being.
The strength is somewhat terrifying.
Mr. Xuan has personally "fought" with it, so what he said must be true.
Then I can't afford to offend him.
Beibei chose to follow her heart.
The students from the surrounding colleges saw this scene and looked thoughtful.
Because it is the home field of the Sun-Moon Empire, no one has actually seen the list of participants from the Sun-Moon Empire Royal Academy, and most people are guessing about its participating members.
"Wait, that guy shouldn't be playing in person, right?" a team member from the academy asked in a trembling voice.
"I don't think so."
"It feels like he is here to watch the game. And judging by the current momentum, most of the academies have revealed their true colors. Only the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy has only fielded its reserve team a few times, but it has crushed the entire team... Ye Wanwan, Hu Yannian, Nan Qiuqiu, and several other Soul Emperors are invincible. In the individual elimination round, only one person went on stage and challenged all opponents. In team battles, they were even more overwhelming."
"I feel like their reserve team is comparable to the other second-place teams in the group stage..."
"The head coach is warming up?!!"
"Xu Tianzhen, the only princess of the Sun Moon Empire royal family? She's really awesome. Several princes fought each other, one had his leg crippled and was demoted to a commoner, and the other queen's legitimate son was even worse off. Only this one has remained evergreen and firmly holds the position of princess."
"Nonsense, there is only one princess in the Sun-Moon Empire. Who made the previous Sun-Moon Emperor give birth to one? I'm so envious. It would be great if I were also a princess. I could be so close to that person. Sigh, do you think it's possible that I am the bloodline of the old emperor?"
“…”
“Begin the drawing!”
Accompanied by Jing Hongchen's slow voice.
The academies that made it to the top 16 were eagerly waiting, and the other academies were also excited. After all, most of them had a rough idea of the results before the group stage was announced, so they were not too disappointed about not making it into the top 16.
Each team that made it into the round of 16 sent one person to draw lots.
The Sun-Moon Empire’s person is Xiao Hongchen, the Shrek’s person is Beibei, and for some reason, Tang San has not shown up in the Haotian Sect.
"one."
Xiao Hongchen spread out the note and gestured.
Seeing Beibei on the opposite side seemed to be relieved and smiled.
Obviously the opposite is not the case.
Soon, Wu Moufan of the Arrogant Sword Sect had a look of despair on his face. It was obvious that he had won the prize, and it was a big one...
"The two of us." said the disciple sent by Haotian Sect.
"We are stupid too." Tianlongmen was speechless.
"Di'ao Academy Three."
"It's us..." Xu Tianzhen raised his hand, looking excited.
“…”
With the end of the draw.
The Snow Demon Sect, the Haotian Sect, Shrek, and the Sun-Moon Empire have never met.
Except for Xiao Hongchen who raised his eyebrows, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the Aojian Sect, the Tianlong Sect, the Yuling Sect and the Soto Academy looked unhappy as they had drawn these four giant Buddhas.
There is almost no possibility of it happening.
After all, any one of the opponents has a Titled Douluo in charge.
"This is really crazy..." the captain of the Yuling Sect cursed.
ps: I can’t do it anymore, guys. I’ll finish the last chapter tomorrow. I’m so tired... (End of this chapter)
