"In a few days, the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition will begin, and today I will tell you about the rules."

While speaking, Yu Xiaogang kicked the sleepy Ma Hongjun next to him on the buttocks.

But the eyes did not look at him, and continued: "Don't be dismissive, rules are a limit, but also an advantage that can be used.

Strength is important, but you also have to know all the rules.

Otherwise, there is a high risk that others will take advantage of it and lose all your efforts. ”

Yu Xiaogang continued: "The Continent-wide Senior Soul Master Academy Competition is the largest martial soul competition in the soul master world, initiated and sponsored by the royal families of the two empires of Heaven Dou and Xingluo, and co-organized by the Martial Soul Palace.

The strength of the participants is second only to the Soul Hall Elite Trials.

Among the rules, there are several things that must be followed.

First of all, the participating academies must be under the age of 25 and be able to maintain the number of participants in each game to reach seven.

(The above must be emphasized)

Secondly, in the course of the game, for the purpose of friendship and exchange, try to avoid disabling the opponent as much as possible, and not allowing death.

Once an opponent is killed, the academy will be expelled from the Soul Master Contest in addition to the corresponding losses. ”

"Master, this doesn't seem appropriate." Tang Xiao raised his hand to interrupt Yu Xiaogang's words.

"The soul skill has no eyes, what if I kill it by mistake? If the strength of the two sides is about the same, and they fight with all their might, casualties will inevitably occur. ”

Yu Xiaogang looked at Dai Mubai and said solemnly: "Although what you said is good. However, you have to understand the purpose of the two empires holding this high-level soul master academy competition.

It's not about letting each college fight for a winner, it's about picking the best talent out of it and recruiting them.

Including the Wuhun Hall and some kingdoms within the two empires, they all have the same thoughts.

The students who can represent the Senior Soul Master Academy are all leaders in each academy and the future of the Soul Master World.

It is not easy to cultivate a soul master, and the number of soul masters in the whole continent has never exceeded six figures. (This paragraph should also be highlighted)

Although there are certain restrictions on the prohibition of killing opponents, it is also a guarantee for you children.

From my point of view, this provision is very correct. ”

Tang Xiao was still a little unimpressed, although he didn't like to kill, but he didn't like the feeling of being tied up when he was doing it.

Yu Xiaogang said: "In addition to these two hard rules, there are some more standardized rules, and everything is premised on fairness."

For example, during the competition, it is not allowed to use any drugs or foods that are not made by food or healing soul masters.

Only the food or healing soul masters on the field have the power to replenish their own team members.

In other words, if you want to get supplies in the tournament ring, then the auxiliary soul master must occupy a spot on the field.

This avoids the possibility of cheating by a team with a food-based soul master.

In addition, there is a rule that no weapons other than martial spirits can be used.

Therefore, Tang Xiao and Tang San, the weapons and hidden weapons you made must not be used in this competition.

You must keep this in mind, otherwise you will be expelled from the tournament. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaogang paused, "These are the general rules, and if there is anything to add, I will tell you during the game."

Now, let me tell you about the format of this competition. ”

As he spoke, the master picked up a prepared stick from the side and drew two circles on the ground.

"These two circles represent the two empires."

Then, he drew a small circle next to the two large circles that connected with the two circles at the same time, "This represents the Martial Spirit Palace." ”

"Among the two empires, the total number of high-level soul master academies has increased by nearly a hundred.

Each academy will have a share of the competition, and each of the two empires will have an official high-level soul master academy, which will occupy two shares.

Like the Heaven Dou Empire, it is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy you know.

The share of these two official high-level soul master academies is divided into the home team and the side team.

The home team will directly qualify for the final finals, which is also a guarantee of the face of the royal families of the two empires.

The vice-team will participate in the preliminaries along with the soul master teams of other academies. ”

Yu Xiaogang drew several small circles within the two large circles.

"The qualifiers are held in the divisions. Among them, our Heaven Dou Empire is centered on Heaven Dou City.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, all high-level soul master academies that do not belong to other kingdoms and principalities will have a qualifier in the Heaven Dou City Division.

The high-level soul master academies of each kingdom and principality will conduct preliminaries according to the division of countries.

The Heaven Dou Empire has a total of four kingdoms and one principality.

In other words, counting the Heaven Dou City Division, there will be a total of six qualifier divisions on the Heaven Dou Empire's side.

In addition to the one team that has already been guaranteed to enter the finals, the six divisions will compete for fifteen places.

Among them, the Heaven Dou City Division has a large number of high-level soul master academies and is a direct division of the empire, so the number of places to qualify will be five.

The other four kingdoms and one principality will have two qualifying spots in each division.

The situation in the Star Luo Empire was almost the same as that of the Heaven Dou Empire. ”

"In other words, through the qualifiers, the soul master teams that will enter the next stage will be thirty.

All 30 teams will compete in the Grand Final.

But before participating in the Grand Finals, there is still a qualifier.

The so-called qualifier is actually a ranking match for the teams that have already entered the finals.

The order of appearances in the Grand Final is determined according to the ranking order. ”

"The format of the qualifiers and qualifiers is not the same.

The qualifiers will be played in the way you are most familiar with team battles.

In a single round-robin format, the team with the highest winning points in each preliminary division will enter the qualifying round.

And the qualifiers will be played in a special way.

Although the participating teams still sent seven students, they faced each other one by one.

The winner stays on the field, and the loser continues to field the cadets until all the cadets on one side fail. ”

"Therefore, the qualifiers can be said to be a competition to show the strength of the team, and the qualifiers are a stage to show the strength of the individual.

The reason why there is a promotion tournament is to allow the two empires and the high-level leaders of the Martial Spirit Hall to better recognize some particularly outstanding young soul masters from these participating students. ”

"There will be a total of 33 teams participating in the finals, and lots will be drawn for a brutal knockout round."

"Master, wait a minute." This time it was Oscar who spoke, and he said suspiciously: "Master, you just said that there is one seeded team for each of the two empires, and there are fifteen teams for each of the qualifiers and qualifiers.

In this way, the teams participating in the finals should be thirty-two, where are the thirty-three? ”

Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly and said, "I forgot to say it." The seeded teams in the finals are not just two, but three, and this third team is the team guaranteed by the Wuhun Palace.

It can also be said to be the most competitive team.

Although the Martial Soul Hall is not a high-level soul master academy, they also have their own special institution for cultivating soul masters.

In the previous three Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competitions.

Except for the Star Luo Empire, which had won the championship once, the other two championships were won by the team sent by the Wuhun Palace.

They will also be your strongest competitors in the future.

According to my experience, the team of soul masters sent by the Soul Hall is definitely stronger than the Emperor Fighting Team you have seen. ”

Shrek and the others looked at each other, but instead of worry, there was intense curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

Because they crave a strong opponent.

Without a strong opponent, how can you hone yourself better?

"The rankings for the qualifiers will be played separately from the two empires.

Arrange the positions from one to fifteen.

The benefits of this ranking will be evident in the Grand Final.

The finals will adopt a knockout system, and in each round, several teams will have byes.

In the first round, there will be three seeded teams with byes.

Thirty other teams competed against each other, and the winning fifteen teams competed in the next round.

In the second round, counting the three seeded teams, there are a total of eighteen teams.

At this time, the remaining teams. The top two teams in the qualifying round will have a bye.

Eight of the remaining sixteen teams will advance to the third round.

There are only ten teams left in the third round, and the two teams that are still in the top ranking in the ranking round have byes.

Teams that already have a bye will not have a second bye.

After the third round, the remaining teams will be six.

That is, the final six of the competition. There will be no bye queues at this time.

In the fourth round, six teams will draw lots to determine the top three.

The final ranking of the top three is determined to be fair, and it needs to be fought through two methods: team battles and individual elimination battles. ”

"First of all, it's an individual knockout match, which is a qualifier format.

The three teams are played in a fighting style. Each side sent seven players.

Take turns playing, the loser is eliminated, and the winner moves on to the next opponent.

Until all the students of the other two academies are eliminated, the winning academy will be directly promoted.

The other two academies have a team battle.

Determine the other place to advance and play the final team battle against the team that previously advanced through the individual elimination round. ”

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's narration, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say, "Master, why is this competition so complicated?" I was a little dizzy to hear. ”

Dai Mubai said angrily: "What's there to be dizzy, no matter what the competition system is, as long as we are undefeated, isn't the final champion ours?" ”

Yu Xiaogang bowed slightly, and said: "Mu Bai is right, the competition system must be familiar, but in the face of absolute strength, these are not the most important.

In the course of the tournament, I will remind you of the format and analyze the opponents you will be upside down.

Get up, in the last few days, what you have to do is a tactical drill.

Oh yes. There is one thing I must warn you of.

In the qualifiers of the Heaven Dou City Division, you seven little monsters can only play three at the same time.

Among them, Rong Rong will definitely not play in the qualifiers, and I will give her special training during this time. ”

"Huh? Can only go on three? At this moment, even Tang San couldn't help but be surprised.

"Master, you mean not to expose our strength too much in advance, otherwise the next game will be more difficult, right?" Tang Xiao said.

"Well, Xiaoxiao is right, I'm thinking about your future games, not to mention that you still need to go all out in a qualifier? Therefore, only three of your Shrek Nine monsters need to play in the qualifiers. Yu Xiaogang said.
