Chapter 461: A fake match, right?
However, in this final round of the round-robin, not every game was intense. Some teams that were already doomed to have no hope of qualifying naturally could not fight with all their might. They were just going through the motions. However, those teams that had to rely on the final victory to determine their ranking fought extremely fiercely. This was the standard polarization.
There is another situation, that is the team that is destined to qualify.
"Are you going to fight seriously?" Chen Lingyi looked at Xiao Hongchen, the captain of the Sun and Moon Team. They were all acquaintances, and when the two sides met, the atmosphere was not as tense as that of other teams.
"It's just an exhibition match, as long as we can save face." If this wasn't the Sun Moon Empire's home court, Xiao Hongchen would have wanted to admit defeat. After all, Shrek Academy was out, and the Sun Moon Team could still qualify if they admitted defeat to Dragon Pavilion. Now that he was a Soul Saint, although he couldn't use spirit sharing to forcibly transmit information like Huo Yuhao, he could still use soul power to transmit sound.
But the public will definitely not buy it. When Shrek Academy admitted defeat five years ago, those people cursed so badly! Xiao Hongchen dare not bet that the basic quality of his country's citizens will be higher than that of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Moreover, the psychopathic eunuch would also take the opportunity to make trouble, so he could not retreat, but he could take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
"Please." Xiao Hongchen turned around and glanced at his teammates not far away, among whom was the evil soul master who was sent over from the Holy Spirit Church.
It is not that Xiao Hongchen is generalizing all evil martial spirits. Evil martial spirits do not represent evil soul masters. Yan Feng and Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng are the best proofs. However, with the infiltration of the Holy Spirit Church into the Sun-Moon Empire, if an evil martial spirit appears in the Sun-Moon Empire, there is basically no way to wash it away.
Chen Lingyi nodded silently, and soon, both sides entered their respective waiting areas, and the whole place fell silent.
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran arrived early. Yesterday, he personally met with the Sun Moon Team and promised them a generous reward. As long as they can win this game, they will be the champions. In the next quarterfinals, their opponents will no longer include Dragon Pavilion, and Dragon Pavilion's next opponent will include the Tang Sect disguised as the Holy Spirit Church.
Xiao Hongchen clearly remembered his grandfather's expression, and the fate of Mingyu Sect was still vivid in his mind. When the opponent wiped out the entire team with just one person, would he go and fight? It would be better to pray that the Regent King would die on the spot!
The Holy Spirit Church was indeed deliberately arranged by Xu Tianran to participate in this competition, but no matter how you look at it, letting such an evil soul master organization win the final championship is obviously not a good thing and will definitely be criticized. The reason why the Holy Spirit Church participated in the war was to target Dragon Pavilion, Shrek Academy, and the Body Sect that had not yet revealed any clues but was bound to come.
But Shrek Academy unexpectedly gave up its obsession with the championship. But come to think of it, how can you kill an entire family and expect others to fight for you to win the championship?
The evil soul masters' mission is mainly to clear the obstacles for the Sun Moon Team. Xu Tianran has personally told Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen that if they can meet the Tang Clan Team in the final, then the championship will be theirs.
The words have been said so clearly, and their significance can be imagined. They represent the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Mingde Hall, and the country. This is a game that cannot be lost!
The public didn't care how many strong men came to the Dragon Pavilion. Except for Huo Yuhao, whose spirit ring was unknown, the other two who appeared before were all Soul Saints, but their captain had not yet appeared. According to the inertia of most people's thinking, only the strongest can be the captain, and Chen Lingyi must also be a Soul Saint.
There were three Soul Saints, and even the Regent who was watching the game was almost beaten to death. What the hell could they do?
Xiao Hongchen sat down in the waiting area. Fortunately, he and Meng Hongchen had already established a friendship with Huo Yuhao and the others, and their grandfather had secretly arranged everything. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Xu Tianran would blame him and he would become the sinner of the family.
"Brother, Huo Yuhao is not here." Meng Hongchen reminded him while sitting next to him.
"He hasn't played since the knockout round." Xiao Hongchen glanced at the waiting area, "Yan Feng hasn't played either." Although the other party didn't blow them all up because of their past friendship, they should at least go to the waiting area to sit down, right? Every time the players were not all on the field, it seemed that the other teams were incompetent.
The other members of the Sun and Moon Team didn't think as much as Xiao Hongchen, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. They really couldn't say who was more brutal between Yan Feng and the evil soul masters of the Tang Sect.
Beibei stayed in the viewing lounge as usual. He and Caitou wanted to go on stage, but Long Xiaoyao stopped them. "Just consider it as a favor to the Hongchen Family. You will need them after you ascend the throne. You can go on stage in the quarterfinals against Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy."
"Mr. Long, why is this?" He Caitou didn't understand. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was the best representative of the Sun Moon Empire!
"The captain of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy team is a direct descendant of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, Princess Tian Zhen."
He Caitou was stunned at first, then he sneered, "Naive? The whole family is full of stuff!" Even if there is an innocent princess in the royal family, it is impossible for her to be from the lineage of the emperor who killed his brother.
"Be patient, you have a chance to play. Your second martial soul is your trump card. Use your soul well." Long Xiaoyao took out a schedule. "Come, so you won't be too nervous. Let's go over the lines first. Apart from your family's private affairs, don't forget to expose the fact that Xu Tianran blocked Mingdu and imprisoned the participating teams..."
"Okay." He Caitou had to admit that he had not considered it carefully, and Long Xiaoyao had already arranged everything for him clearly.
The more He Caitou thought about it, the more he felt that the Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department's Extreme Individual Soldier Plan was ridiculous. If this plan was submitted to the Dragon Pavilion's Soul Guidance Equipment Research Department or Mingde Hall, it would definitely be regarded as a means of defrauding funds.
Not to mention Mingde Hall, every Ultimate Douluo in Long Pavilion is equipped with a ninth-level soul guide device, which is the true ultimate individual soldier.
But again, not all people in the Sun-Moon Empire are soul masters, and it is difficult for ordinary low-level soul masters to understand the influence of the strong men in Dragon Pavilion in the soul master world.
So when the audience saw that there were only three girls sitting in the Longge waiting area, they immediately burst into shouting and cursing, and everyone thought that the Longge team looked down on the Sun Moon Empire.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wang Dong didn't understand, "They are right!" Longge looked down on all forces equally and could walk sideways on the continent! She didn't discriminate against them, but the gap between gods and humans was difficult to cross!
Just when she was full of doubts, Fu Rui had already jumped onto the competition stage and walked towards the center.
