Chapter 108 Unexpected Draw Result
In order to implement their "self-destruction" tactics, the three contestants from Yaoyang College took the initiative to close the distance between themselves and Wang Nan and the other two. At this time, they were also affected by the damage from the explosion and were unable to resist for a while.
Wang Nan and the other two used their own methods, and in a short while, the three contestants who took the initiative to rush forward were sent off the competition stage by the referee.
After the first wave of soul guide attacks ended, Ling Luochen, who was behind the Shrek Academy formation, finally exerted his strength. His first and fifth soul rings lit up, and he waved the ice staff in his hand. His first move was a ten thousand year soul skill, and with the help of mental detection, he accurately controlled the remaining four opponents in the ice prison.
Even if there are Soul Kings among the opposing players, it will still take some time for them to break free from the ice prison under the control of the Ten Thousand Years Soul Skill. This period of time is enough for Wang Nan and the other two to send them off the stage one by one.
The audience seats were boiling with excitement again, and the cheers went straight to the sky. However, the other colleges in the rest area had different expressions.
Ever since the Sun-Moon Empire launched a continental war and invaded with the help of soul guides four thousand years ago, the original three empires have been resisting soul guides while fighting against the Sun-Moon Empire.
The situation was not alleviated until the victory of the Continental War. However, the damage caused by the soul guide to the original Douluo Continent did not subside, so even though some places have begun to try to use soul guides, it has not been fully promoted.
In recent years, Xu Jiawei has realized the advantages of soul guides, and Xingluo City is the capital of the Xingluo Empire, so various soul guides can be seen here.
But in some places with more traditional concepts, ordinary civilians have never even seen some soul guides in daily life and still live a relatively "simple" life.
It was also for this reason that after the Sun-Moon Empire occupied the cities of the Sky Soul Empire, it was able to win the hearts of the people simply by promoting some simple and easy-to-use soul guides.
Several people from the Sun Moon Royal Academy below the stage looked at Shrek thoughtfully.
After this battle, they also realized that the soul guide device should be Shrek's hidden means. Although it was only used in a simple way, it can be seen that they were already exploring the way to combine soul masters and soul guides.
As for the students from the Di'ao Academy of the Tianhun Empire, the expressions on their faces were more interesting.
Until now, Di Ao Academy still firmly believes that martial spirit is the foundation of soul masters, and they are the only ones who are still training pure soul masters. In terms of training soul masters, Di Ao Academy is the best besides Shrek Academy.
Therefore, they have always wanted to defeat Shrek to prove that they are the strongest soul master academy.
But unexpectedly, Shrek today is different from the past. In their eyes, Shrek is no longer the opponent they thought he was.
When Wang Nan walked down from the ring, he passed by the area where the Di Ao Academy was located. Their captain had been staring at this side, and when he saw Wang Nan and his companions, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
The team and individual competitions are not held consecutively. The quarter-finals will be held over four days, with four team competitions held each day on the first two days, and individual elimination rounds on the last two days.
After Shrek Academy, it was naturally the Sun and Moon Royal Academy that took the field. With six main players and one reserve player, they easily defeated their opponents.
Until now, their captain Ma Rulong and his sister Xiao Hongchen have never taken any action.
But they may not know that Wang Nan knows the three of them better than they do. What Wang Nan has always been worried about is what kind of soul guide Mingde Hall will prepare for them.
Perhaps this is another advantage of soul mentors.
For a soul master, his soul skills are determined the moment he obtains his soul ring, and his abilities and tactics are fixed from the beginning. But a soul instructor can use different soul guides to play different roles.
……
Yaoyang Academy's teamfight tactics were not effective, and they had no chance in the individual elimination match, which placed more emphasis on the individual abilities of soul masters. Shrek only sent Dai Yuheng to defeat the three opponents and won the final victory. After four days of competition, the top eight places in the Soul Fighting Competition were finally determined, and after the last individual elimination match on the fourth day, the top eight teams did not leave, but quietly waited for the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals.
The format of the quarter-finals is the same as before, with the combined results of the team and individual competitions determining the final winner.
The only difference is that the eight teams participating in the competition will have to draw lots again to decide their opponents. Unlike before, the quarter-finals will avoid the first place in each group in the round-robin stage and meet in advance. Now, everything depends on luck.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, an old man walked to the center of the ring.
"Now please invite the captains of each college's representative team to step onto the stage."
Wang Nan stood up and walked up with several others.
"Next, I will throw the ball with the number on it, and you will grab it at the same time. Are you ready?"
Seeing everyone nodding, the old man exerted a little force and eight small balls flew towards the sky.
Most of the attention of the surrounding audience was focused on Wang Nan.
Among the captains, only Wang Nan, Ma Rulong and Jiang Peng from Dio Academy have the cultivation level of Soul Emperor. Wang Nan is from Shrek Academy, so naturally many people will pay attention to him.
At such a close distance, activating the martial spirit would be a waste of time. Everyone relied on their physical strength to jump high, and Wang Nan was naturally the first to hold a small ball.
"I'm number one."
After landing, Wang Nan looked down at the ball in his hand and spoke.
"I'm number one too."
When the voice of Ma Rulong, the captain of Sun Moon Royal Academy, rang out, Wang Nan's face suddenly turned dark.
When the sound from the ring was heard, there was silence around at first, and then there was a heated discussion.
As the two teams recognized as the strongest, they actually met in the quarter-finals of the top eight, which to a certain extent is equivalent to the final being staged in advance.
Also under discussion were the rest areas for the remaining teams. If one of these two teams was eliminated, it would mean that they would achieve better results. If both Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team were defeated, they would even have a chance to win the championship.
After drawing the lots, Wang Nan walked towards the rest area.
The other people in Shrek Academy had obviously heard what was just said. After looking at Wang Nan, they turned their attention to the Sun-Moon Royal Academy.
"It's okay. Since our goal is to win the championship, we must be prepared to defeat any team." Wang Yan stood up and patted Wang Nan on the shoulder. "Maybe it's a good thing. Meeting them earlier can prevent us from exposing more things."
