A single stone stirs up a thousand waves, and this speculation spreads very quickly among the audience. Although the blind masses lack the ability to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the rumor, they stare at the most likely culprit with a simple heart.
Naturally, it is the Holy Spirit Team in the rest area, which is composed of evil soul masters.
Bupo Douluo naturally noticed the strange mood in the audience and shouted through the voice transmission soul guide: "Please ask the army to maintain order at the scene. The second semi-final will be held in the afternoon."
There were a total of 20,000 troops maintaining order around the competition arena, and no one dared to challenge the authority of the army.
Xiao Hongchen stood in the rest area. He had won the semi-finals before he even went on stage. But he did not feel the slightest joy of winning. Instead, he felt absurd and irritated.
Another match that was won without even having to play, the same goes for the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and there was no need to even play the final, just give the championship to the Sun and Moon Team.
When later generations mention the so-called glory of Sun Yue, they just think that he was lucky in the world and was given a championship by fate.
All his pride and hard work were meaningless.
Xiao Hongchen initially thought that Huo Yuhao was giving in to him and admitted defeat on purpose, and he felt a little angry.
What he wanted was to defeat Huo Yuhao in the arena, not this kind of victory that came by hand. But when he heard some of the audience members who were close to him talking to each other, Xiao Hongchen was stunned.
Was Huo Yuhao deliberately retaliated against by those evil soul masters?
Xiao Hongchen frowned and was about to start walking towards the Holy Spirit Sect.
Meng Hongchen hurriedly grabbed him and whispered to stop him: "Brother, grandpa has warned us many times not to deal with them."
"I don't want to deal with them either." Xiao Hongchen said coldly and shook off Meng Hongchen's hand.
He walked in front of the Holy Spirit Team with a cold expression and asked in a cold voice, "Were you the ones who attacked Huo Yuhao?"
Zhang Peng raised his eyes and recognized that it was Jing Hongchen's grandson. He said indifferently, "No, you are too suspicious. The leader has ordered that I will teach you now..."
Xiao Hongchen wanted to ask more, but Ma Xiaotao, who was wearing a veil, interrupted indifferently: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
"Are you here to thank us for helping you deal with your opponent ahead of time?"
She crossed her arms over her chest and sat cross-legged on the chair, not taking Xiao Hongchen seriously at all.
Xiao Hongchen stared at Ma Xiaotao for a few seconds before turning away, saying, "It's okay, fine, very fine."
The first semi-final ended in such a dramatic way. Even though the army was maintaining order, a lot of negative emotions still echoed in the audience seats.
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran frowned and looked at Zhongli Wu: "National Master, was it your people who did it?"
Zhongli Wu denied it, “Your Highness, we have other ways to deal with Huo Yuhao. We will not attack him directly.”
"I hope so." Xu Tianran looked around the audience from the podium, "Mingdu cannot have an outsider with such strong appeal."
"If he really met with an accident and died, these people's voices would probably be several times louder."
He sighed calmly: "Sometimes, the moment a person dies is more difficult than when he is alive."
Zhongli Wu smiled and said, "Your Highness, the dead are still dead after all. This moment will pass quickly and will not cause any trouble."
Xu Tianran was slightly stunned, and the first smile of the day appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Indeed."
Far away from the audience seats, there were two figures staring at everything here. They were Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor. Behind them was a gray figure, Yin Lex.
Bingdi asked, "Yin Lex, are you sure you really want to do this while Yuhao is unconscious?"
Yin Lex chuckled: "I think this will be Yuhao's favorite solution. Haha, this mental suggestion is much more useful than I thought."
Bingdi hesitated for a moment: "But if I admit defeat on behalf of Yuhao..."
Xue Di teased, "If you want to help Yu Hao win so much, why don't you go up to save the situation, Team Member Bing'er?"
The Ice Emperor snorted, "I don't even bother to compete with these humans for victory or defeat."
In the Snow Demon Sect team, Vina was a little panicked and asked, "Could it be that Yuhao was really retaliated by those evil soul masters?"
Long Aotian and others quickly cast cold glances at the Holy Spirit Team.
Huo Qiuer interrupted everyone and said, "Huo Yuhao is fine. If anything happens to him, I will be the first to know."
She kept stroking the center of her forehead with her right hand.
"That's good." Vina breathed a sigh of relief and began to make arrangements for everyone, "Our opponent this afternoon is the Holy Spirit Sect. They are all evil soul masters. You must pay attention to your safety."
Evil soul masters are difficult to deal with not only because they upgrade much faster than their peers, but also because their methods are dark and unscrupulous. Fighting with them is often the difference between life and death.
"I'll be the first one to go."
Huo Qiuer spoke calmly, and as she spoke she had already carried the Golden Dragon Spear on her right shoulder.
"I have experience dealing with evil soul masters."
"Just be more evil than them."
Chapter 372 Golden Dragon Spear, Hungry
The first semi-final, which should have been exciting and brilliant, ended so abruptly. All the spectators waited until the afternoon with a mixture of anger and disappointment.
The sky was growing darker.
Finally, changes occurred in the lounge area, which shocked all the audience.
The second semi-final in the afternoon is finally about to begin.
The audience's emotions were gradually aroused again. After experiencing the farce in the morning, their opposition to the Holy Spirit Sect further deepened.
Naturally, they cast their support towards the Snow Demon Sect, the rival of the Holy Spirit Sect, even though the Snow Demon Sect was also a team from a foreign country.
"The Snow Demon Sect will win!"
Someone shouted first, and then others responded, and the silent audience seats became lively again.
rostrum.
Xu Tianran asked Zhongli Wu, "National Master, what do you think is the chance of the Holy Spirit Sect's team winning against the Body Sect?"
Zhongli Wu's voice was a little low: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the chance of winning is only 50% at most."
Xu Tianran was a little surprised: "Does the Imperial Master think he is no match for the Benti Sect?"
He knew that the state teacher in front of him was extremely confident, and that all the members of the Holy Spirit Sect's team were not only evil soul masters with bloody methods, but their cultivation had all reached the level of six-ring soul emperors.
Such a terrifying lineup is unique even in the ten thousand year history of the Soul Master Competition.
Zhongli Wu said: "Your Highness, you don't know that Long Aotian of the Body Sect has not only reached the level of a Seven-Ring Soul Saint, but has also achieved the extremely rare and powerful Silver-level awakening of his body martial soul. Whether it is strength, defense or speed, he is not inferior to a Soul Douluo-level strongman.
Although he said that he was afraid of Long Aotian, Zhongli Wu's attention was always on Huo Qiuer.
This match was also a great opportunity for him to further observe Huo Qiuer's abilities. In fact, Zhongli Wu was also very curious about how Huo Qiuer, who had the Golden Dragon Spirit, would display her purely overbearing devouring ability.
Zhongli Wu had already given orders to the Holy Spirit Sect's team.
Xu Tianran didn't know what Zhongli Wu was planning, so he just nodded and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I've already told Bupo Douluo."
He looked at the crowd in the audience who were cheering for the Benti Sect and frowned in displeasure.
In Xu Tianran's heart, he only had an attitude of using the Holy Spirit Church and did not like this evil soul master sect. His support for the Holy Spirit Church behind the scenes had already put him under a lot of pressure from public opinion.
But he soon figured it out. The Holy Spirit Church had made him bear a lot of pressure from public opinion, so why couldn't he use this public opinion to build momentum for himself?
As long as the Holy Spirit Church loses to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the finals, the public's support and enthusiasm will all be transferred to the Sun Moon Academy.
If the Sun and Moon Academy plays an upright role in the country and gains domestic support, the people will forget about him, the prince.
Unfortunately, these blind people have completely forgotten that the Sun and Moon Academy was originally affiliated with the royal family.
A smile appeared on Xu Tianran's lips again.
Soon, the game will begin.
Zheng Zhan announced loudly on the stage: "The second semi-final of this competition will begin soon, with the Snow Demon Sect team facing the Holy Spirit Sect team. Players from both teams enter the waiting area."
The chief referee felt a little bored as he had done nothing in the morning except shouting a few words. He couldn't wait for the only game of the day.
This may be the most brutal match of this tournament so far, as one of the participating parties is the evil soul master sect.
Zheng Zhan has already received the above information and is advised not to interfere too much in this game, but to relax the rules and let the players on both sides display their skills to the fullest.
Bupo Douluo sensed a hint of chill in this command.
It seems that a lot of people will die in today's semi-final.
He was happy not to have to intervene and could just be a spectator.
Huo Qiuer, Long Aotian and others have already stood up and left their seats, and are taking their positions in the waiting area.
On the other side, the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect, Jili, said in a panic: "Lady Saint, has the Holy Son not come yet?"
The rest of the members of the Body Sect were fine, but the strength that Long Aotian had shown earlier was too terrifying. They were all a little afraid of Long Aotian, and without the Holy Son, no one wanted to be the first to face Long Aotian.
"Useless trash."
Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and looked at another skinny young man next to her who was wrapped in black clothes.
Even his face was covered with a veil and a headscarf, revealing only a pair of sunken eye sockets.
He was so thin that he seemed like he would fall apart if the wind blew.
"Let him take the place of the Holy Son."
"Bone sheath!" Jili recognized the thin young man as a Soul Saint in the sect. He was powerful enough to fight with Long Aotian.
But Jili quickly realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "You... aren't you over 20 years old? When did you sign up for the competition?"
"My martial soul is the Dark Skull, which can change my bone age at will." The bone sheath made a sinister voice from under the veil, "The leader asked me to sign up secretly just to deal with this situation."
With the addition of a Soul Saint, the rest of the Holy Spirit Team instantly felt a lot less pressure.
The Holy Spirit Sect team also entered the waiting area, and players from both sides were in position.
"First match of the individual elimination tournament, players from both teams please come on stage."
On the Holy Spirit Sect side, Jili jumped quickly and rushed onto the competition stage.
On the Snow Demon Sect's side, Huo Qiuer stepped onto the stage, carrying the golden dragon spear, and looked down at Jili in the distance.
The whole audience burst into warm cheers again.
In the quarterfinals against Shrek Academy, it was this blue-haired girl who was the first to take the field. With her powerful fighting style, she eliminated two Soul Emperors of Shrek one after another.
Countless voices of support came to her, hoping that she would give the Holy Spirit Sect a heavy blow.
Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice: "Both parties share the same name."
