Chapter 276: There is a shady deal!

Two days passed quickly.

The first round of qualifying matches ended and the second round of promotion matches began. The first game on the first day was the Shrek Academy match.

Battle against the Tianjia Sect.

“Tianjia Sect, judging from the name, it should be a sect whose martial spirits are good at defense.” Huo Yuhao murmured.

"They are good at defense." Xu Sanshi said, "I have heard of this sect. It is a family sect. The inherited martial spirit is called Tianjia Shield, a defensive weapon martial spirit. Although it can be used for attack, its attack power is average. Its main ability is defensive counterattack."

"But don't underestimate them. From what I know, their shields can be thrown."

"In order to strengthen the attacking ability of their martial spirits, some of their tribesmen even deliberately choose to hunt defensive spirit beasts with certain attacking power as spirit rings."

"For example, the Ridgeback and Ironclad. Because of this, the shield can have spikes on it and serrations along the edge."

"If it comes to fighting alone, his ability may be average. But when it comes to fighting in a group, it's still pretty annoying."

"To put it bluntly, it's a hedgehog formation." Wang Dong'er curled her lips.

Xu Sanshi touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "You can say that."

"Beibei, let me go first!" Wang Dong'er turned around and said, "Watch me break their hedgehog shield."

"I think it would be more appropriate for Xu Sanshi or Huo Yuhao to go first." Zhu Lu suddenly said.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Zhu Lu explained calmly, "In terms of defense, Xu Sanshi's martial spirit is definitely stronger than the Heavenly Armor Shield."

"In addition, Xu Sanshi's defensive ability is more comprehensive, and the opponent's offensive skills are difficult to work. Therefore, letting Xu Sanshi go up will be very risky."

"As for Yuhao, with his ability of spiritual detection, it is difficult for the opponent to attack him from a distance. Not to mention that Yuhao also has a spirit skill called spiritual shock that is hard to defend against. With this skill, Yuhao can easily take the initiative. Once Yuhao gets close, the Sky Armor Shield spirit can only defend in one direction. Yuhao should be able to win with one strike with his second spirit."

"The most important thing is that I won't expose any spirit skills that I didn't use in the last spirit master competition."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Wang Dong'er, "Wang Dong'er, I admit that you are very strong, but if you want to complete a series of sevens, I'm afraid you still need to use new spirit skills. Because you lack strong control skills, it is difficult to achieve a quick victory, unless you expose your fifth and sixth spirit skills in advance. I don't think this is the best solution at the moment."

"I'm doing this for the sake of the team. It's up to you whether you agree or not. Also, if you really want to complete a series of seven, I think Yuhao would be more suitable."

After that he stopped talking.

Wang Dong'er opened her mouth, but was unable to refute for a moment.

"Ahem." Bei Bei glanced at the team leader Zhang Lexuan, and seeing that he was just smiling, he immediately understood that he, the captain, was about to take action, so he spoke.

"What Zhu Lu said does make sense. Why don't we let Yuhao go first in this individual match?"

"I think I can do it." Xu Sanshi continued, "I am confident that I can complete a series of sevens, but I am afraid it will take some time and I won't be able to win cleanly enough."

"I think so too." Tang Ya nodded.

Wang Dong'er pouted and said in a frustrated tone, "Since you all said so, what else can I say?"

Huo Yuhao quickly grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Dong'er. We are only in the second round of the competition now. You will have opportunities to play later. The opponents we will face will only become stronger and stronger. It is not a good idea to expose your strength now."

"I know." Wang Dong'er muttered.

The two of them were flirting with each other, and the audience around them who didn't know Wang Dong'er's true identity shuddered and made guesses in their hearts.

"Are these two people the same?"

"This is actually popular in Shrek Academy!"

"."

Hearing Minghui's calm expression, he felt in his heart that it was the right decision to let Wang Qiuer wear the special veil!
Within sight, as the host finished his introduction, Huo Yuhao jumped onto the competition stage.

The battle started quickly. The opponent was a Soul King. Huo Yuhao didn’t even use the mental weakness technique. He started with a mental shock, which confused the opponent on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Yuhao accelerated and rushed over, instantly cutting off the second martial spirit and slapping it away with a claw.

The opponent's body turned into an ice sculpture while flying backwards, and rolled away to the ground.

"Spiritual attribute martial arts are really useful!" Ke Ke, who was sitting in the audience, complained a lot.

“As expected of Shrek Academy, it actually has two twin martial spirit owners.” Orange frowned and said softly.

She knew of two of them, one was Minghui and the other was Huo Yuhao.

But there are more than two. Arthas thought to himself, but was not prepared to say it out loud.

The battle continued, and the second contestant from Tianjia Sect came on the field. He was actually a Soul Emperor and also the captain.

But he was still sent away.

"Humph, this is the fate of looking down on soul guides." Ke Ke groaned. She knew that many sects in the original three empires looked down on soul guides. If they had a spiritual barrier, why would the Tianjia Sect be restrained by Huo Yuhao?

On the field, another Tianjia Sect player came on the field, the Soul King, and was quickly carried away.

Then another, and another.

"Individual elimination round, we admit defeat!" Seeing that being defeated seven in a row was inevitable, the leader of the Tianjia Sect said helplessly.

In his opinion, admitting defeat is better than being beaten by someone in the competition.

After the voice fell, Huo Yuhao deliberately glanced at the rest area where Meng Hongchen was, then turned and left.

Meng Hongchen did complete a series of sevens, but it took him longer than Huo Yuhao. The key point was that the apparent strength of their opponents was just about the same. Most importantly, Huo Yuhao's cultivation was only a Soul King, one realm lower than Meng Hongchen, who was a Soul Emperor. Not to mention their age, which was several years apart. Because of this comparison, many players outside the field felt that Shrek Academy was stronger.

There was a lot of discussion outside the venue.

"Shrek is Shrek!"

"Ten thousand years of accumulation, this is no joke!"

"."

Meng Hongchen, who had sharp ears, was annoyed by what he heard, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look forward to meeting him on the field next time and deciding the winner.

The day’s competition ended quickly, with Alsace dominating the competition at the Green Hotel and advancing to the next round.

Silent all night.

The next afternoon, the Soul Hall team had a match against the Iron Sword Gate.

Minghui still chose to train his troops, with Wu Feng, Nangong Yuner, and Jiang Nannan as the main force. He even let Xiao Xiao take the field to show the audience the defensive ability of the Sansheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. The little Loli raised the cauldron to smash people, which really stunned the audience.

Wang Qiuer was declared the winner before it was her turn to compete in the individual competition, but because she lost three games, she still had to enter a team battle.

The final result was the same as the previous battle against Dilongmen. With the assistance of Minghui's original martial spirit, the team won with absolute advantage.

At night, Xu Jiujiu came to the door and claimed that he had heard that the three major underground chambers of commerce in Mingdu organized a competition. The stakes were rare metals, and the prize for the champion was a ninth-level soul guide. However, Xingluo Empire did not have any soul guides who could participate in the competition, so they hoped that Shrek Academy would bring soul guides with them. If they could win the championship, it would be the best. Even if they could not, it would be good to go and get some information. "We already know about this matter, and we have arranged for someone to go." Minghui replied.

He also said that the accompanying players had all appeared in the competition, and there were risks in participating in the competition, so they definitely could not go.

After hearing that someone had already been sent, he didn't bother about it anymore. After saying goodbye and leaving after some polite words.

The next day, the third round of the competition began. The battle was extremely fierce. Five players died and more than 20 people were injured in one round. Therefore, many teams protested to the competition committee after the game, questioning the competition committee's control over the game. Under pressure, the Sun Moon Empire Competition Committee issued an announcement, saying that it would strengthen this aspect in the future.

Of course, the Soul Hall was not affected, because no team could seriously injure the Soul Hall players, not to mention that there was Minghui, the big daddy.

After the third round, the teams were given a day to rest, and then they would play a round-robin match by drawing lots. This day was also the day when the Mingdu Underground Elite Soul Instructor Competition began.

Arthas continued to kill people and advanced again.

After a day's rest, Minghui rushed to draw lots early, and the result was that he was grouped with Holy Spirit Sect and Shrek Academy.

When he returned to the team, Xiao Xiao immediately complained, "The Sun-Moon Empire is definitely operating behind the scenes!"

"But we have no other options, right?" Minghui said calmly, "When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our generals and when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

As they were talking, the drawing screen appeared on the surrounding soul guide screens. And the final result showed that their opponent was Shrek Academy.

"It's a shady deal, this is definitely a shady deal!" Xu Sanshi on the other side was gnashing his teeth.

"After all, it's someone else's home court. There's nothing we can do." He Caitou sighed.

"I do have an idea." Tang Ya suddenly replied, "I remember that our current points are enough to qualify, right?"

The team members were all stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

Two quarters of an hour later, as soon as the referee called for both players to come on stage, Beibei loudly announced that he had surrendered.

"?!" In the rest area of ​​the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned gloomy. He had never expected that Shrek Academy, which had always been arrogant and valued honor, would choose to admit defeat.

"Shrek Academy actually admitted defeat!" The other team members were also shocked.

Minghui smiled. Shrek Academy had maintained a perfect record before, and its points were far ahead of theirs. After all, he had been training and lost many games. Therefore, even if Shrek Academy lost one game now, it would be enough to qualify.

So, my next opponent is the Holy Spirit Church? He turned around and looked at Xu Tianran in the VIP seat.

The Holy Spirit Church currently has a perfect record, and can still advance even if they admit defeat. The question is, will Xu Tianran agree?

Then Xu Tianran glanced at the national teacher sitting next to him, and the latter nodded slightly in the direction of Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng understood that the prince wanted them to test the strength of the Soul Palace. Of course, it would be best if they could kill Minghui. The leader probably thought that the team was strong enough.

So, after playing against other teams in the first round of the round-robin tournament and encountering the Soul Hall team, he chose to fight.

"Jili, you go first."

The referee saw this and announced to both players to get ready.

"Let me do it." Minghui stood up and said calmly, "I'm the best at dealing with the Holy Spirit Sect!"

Seeing Minghui standing up first, Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu narrowed their eyes and watched Minghui jump onto the competition stage.

Geely also jumped on.

"The game begins!" The referee quickly announced the start of the game.

"Soul shock!" Minghui released the soul shock in seconds. He would not show mercy to this opponent who liked to suck people's brains, no matter how miserable his childhood was. Then, the next second, a black light flashed on Jili's body.

His mental power was like piercing into a deep pool, and there was no reaction at all.

"Eye of the Su Yue!" Minghui immediately activated his pupil technique and used his ability of perspective to investigate. He found that the other party had a jewel-like soul guide hanging on his chest.

The key is that it contains extraordinary spiritual power.

"A soul guide that stores spiritual power!"

He immediately saw the clue and glanced at Zhang Peng. The strength of the spiritual power contained in it was definitely not possessed by this Ji Li. It was most likely supplied by a certain Title Douluo, maybe from Zhang Peng next to him. Of course, it could also be spiritual power extracted from a living person. But no matter who it came from, this thing was undoubtedly made specifically for him and Yu Hao.

With this in mind, he did not plan to increase his mental output to expose his true strength, but waited for the other party to make a move.

"The opponent has a soul guide that can resist mental attacks." Outside the field, Xuan Zi, who felt the fluctuation of soul power, said in a deep voice.

"We are well prepared!" Beibei said with a slightly serious tone.

"Could it be that every player in the Sun-Moon Empire's seed team is included?" Xu Sanshi couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say!" He Caitou frowned.

Within sight, a light blue airflow emerged from Jili's body, and then, Jili's originally short body expanded and grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black robe that concealed his body was torn in the blink of an eye, revealing the strange body inside. The upper body was covered with a layer of blue-gray scales, while the lower body was quite short, but extremely strong, with knotty muscles, strong and powerful.

What made everyone feel most strange was that the head had turned into a triangle, with protruding lips and revealing sharp fangs, which was quite creepy.

The six soul rings under his feet vibrated rhythmically, demonstrating his Soul Emperor cultivation.

"It's actually the brain-eating beast spirit!" Xuan Zi frowned.

"Brain-eating beast!" The students around were all shocked. They had heard of this soul beast. Soul beasts that feed on brains are quite brutal. And the soul master with this martial soul undoubtedly retains this habit and cultivates by absorbing the brain marrow of creatures. It is definitely an evil martial soul!

He stared at Jili, waiting for him to activate his ability. However, he did not activate his spirit skill immediately, but charged forward first.

Because its lower limbs are short, but its upper limbs are thick and long, it runs on all fours, more like a gorilla. However, its speed is incredibly fast.

On the other side, Minghui looked calm, waiting for his opponent to approach.

The distance between the two sides quickly approached 30 meters.

The next second, Jili moved, and his triangular head swung, and a purple-black tongue suddenly shot out from its mouth and lips.

"Huh, so disgusting!" After seeing the situation clearly, Wang Dong'er's body trembled instinctively.

The purple-black tongue was extremely fast, like a streak of silk in the air, and instantly reached Minghui's forehead.

however.

Minghui seemed to have anticipated this, and he suddenly raised his right hand, like a phantom, and actually firmly grasped the black tongue. His five fingers were covered with frost, and instantly froze and glued the saliva-covered tongue.

At the same time, pull hard.

His tongue instantly straightened, and Gillette also felt a strong force at this moment, and his body flew forward uncontrollably.

Minghui's next move had already been made. He raised his free left hand and lightly thrust it forward.

"Whoosh!" The wind howled, bringing with it a sharp chill and countless snowflakes, covering the large open space in front.

Jili was flying forward uncontrollably and before he could stop himself, he disappeared into the snow mist in the blink of an eye.
