Regarding the news of Jin Buchang's impending death, Xianlu did not inform the Su family brothers and sisters.

The family motto of the Merlin family is indeed "the future may not be unchangeable", but the future predicted by the heroic spirit Merlin is not something that anyone can change casually.

To change the future, you need at least a "special point", which could be a person, an event, or an object, and at a specific point in time, produce some effect that is simply unpredictable before it happens. But Xianlu knew that neither his own weight nor the weight of the Su family's sisters and brothers was enough to pry this lever called fate. He didn't say it, he just didn't want the Su family sisters and brothers to add to their troubles in the whirlpool of powerlessness.

For the current Zekes Empire, at least in Mammoth City, the news of Su Ze's disappearance is tantamount to a volcanic eruption, a hurricane and a tsunami. Therefore, the search for Su Ze must be a confidential operation, and the fewer people who know, the better.

Xianlu and Fan Qian both said that they didn't want the number of people in the know to increase further, so no matter how anxious Li Shasha was, she had to hold back, at least for the time being, and couldn't ask for help from those classmates who had a good relationship with her and Su Ze.

Regarding their plan to save Su Ze, the five have a clear division of labor.

The first is Hyun-rook, since the hotel where the First Reich delegation stayed was adjacent to the hotel where the Third Reich delegation was staying, he only had to squat near the window of his room to monitor the entry and exit of everyone up and down the adjacent hotel. No matter how much "Clear Chu You" knew about what "Blurry Chu You" did, after being startled by Fan Qian, he didn't believe that these two Chu You could hold back and not meet. And he only needs to find out where the "Blur Chu You" is, and even as long as he can catch the messenger who helps these two Chu You spread the word, they can find Su Ze in the shortest possible time, which is the best policy.

The second was Fan Qian, who felt that it was not very reliable to just wait for Chu You's plan to reveal his flaws, so he asked Huang Feng to borrow the Dragon Scale Guard, the direct army of the Dragon Knight Legion, and dismantled them into hundreds of groups of five people, and temporarily assigned them the position of special leading group of the patrol team of the city defenders. During the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament, entering and exiting Mammoth City had to be strictly vetted, and he was sure that Black Cherry would not take such a big risk to send Su Ze out of the city rashly, which meant that Black Cherry would have a place to stay in Mammoth City. Therefore, he ordered dozens of patrols of the city garrison to break into residents' homes from time to time to conduct simple searches according to certain rules on the pretext that someone anonymously reported the possession of controlled knives. If Black Cherry's hiding place was broken into by officers and soldiers, they would definitely reflexively fight back, which was equivalent to self-declaring their identity. As long as they can find Black Cherry's stronghold, even if it is just an insignificant small stronghold, they may be able to find out where Su Ze is, which is the best strategy.

Then there are the Su family sisters and brothers, they have a special identity, unrestrained, the first time they visit a foreign country, and they are the most playful age, so they happen to eat, drink and have fun in the most prosperous downtown area of Mammoth City. It is said that the most dangerous place may be the safest place, and the hiding place of Black Cherry may not be in those residential areas on the periphery, maybe they are also hiding in this teahouse and that restaurant, with the help of the bustling flow of people, hidden in the downtown area. Moreover, if Black Cherry wants to do big things, an empty venue is indispensable, so the Su family sisters and brothers only need to choose those big stores that have enough space for secret gatherings, and pay attention to it as guests. That being said, there are hundreds of shops in Mammoth City that meet the requirements, so this is the best option.

As for Li Shasha, in order to avoid making mistakes in her busy schedule, Fan Qian and Xianlu unanimously decided to let her stay in the college dormitory to take care of Qiuqiu and Dandan. On the premise of knowing that Black Cherry had infiltrated Mammoth City, they didn't think anyone was a good person, and the dormitory of the Imperial Capital Academy happened to be an independent small western-style building, so they used Li Shasha's dormitory as their temporary base to facilitate the exchange of information in the future.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. Contrary to everyone's expectations, within this week, the rescue Su Ze team was in full swing, but they did not achieve the slightest.

On Xianlu's side, Chu You stayed closed all day, and seemed to be not lightly ill. For seven days in a row, no stranger approached the hotel where the delegation of the Third Reich was staying. As Fan Qian said, the strategy of relying on Chu You to expose his flaws did not work.

Having said that, Fan Qian's confident large-scale carpet unscheduled raid search method did not obtain any effective clues. Every night, when he listened to the dragon scale guard report in an impatient tone on how many good people's homes he had broken into today, he blamed himself, but his heart was more anxious. Even Su Ze, the ultimate ace of the Bright World, was taken captive, how could he believe that Black Cherry didn't want to play big tickets? But after looking for seven whole days, the ordinary residential areas of Mammoth City were searched for more than half of the time, and there was a fifty percent probability, but he didn't even see a single leaf of Black Cherry, which only proved that Black Cherry's actions this time were more rigorous than he imagined!

The upper and middle strategies are still like this, and the Su family sisters and brothers don't need to talk about it. These days, the two of them have been playing with their lives, and even those blushing and heart-pounding places of Fengyue, Su Xing'er has broken into it hard, and she was almost regarded as a new lady. With such a big effort and no sign of reaping anything, these two unlucky guys really don't know what to do.

In the early morning of August 8, the rescue team that had been busy for Su Ze for a whole week unexpectedly suspended their rescue plan and came to the stands around the imperial capital martial arts arena together.

For them, Su Ze must be saved, but it is not okay to blindly drill the horns. They also need to relax and change their minds, not to mention that today is still the first round of the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament for the Gold Medal Dragon Summoners Half Knockout Tournament - the nine Gold Medal Dragon Summoners draw lots on the spot and fight each other, such a battle of "Why don't you go to heaven?" Even Li Shasha, who is concerned about Su Ze's safety, can't resist the temptation.

The significance of the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament is precisely to determine the international status of the Seven Empires in the next twenty years.

Generally speaking, in this kind of catch-and-fight competition mode, half of the promotions and half of the eliminations, the top two are naturally determined by the finals, and the third or fourth can also be determined by the two losers in the semi-finals. But further back, there are four losers in the quarter-finals, and in order to determine a fair and just five, six, or seven, is it necessary to hold a new qualifying tournament for those four people?

The answer is obvious, the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament has been held for so many sessions, and the ancestors have naturally already prescribed a ready-made ranking method.

First of all, there is no objection to the fact that the empire to which the dragon summoner belongs must be the first empire for the next twenty years.

Secondly, if the two sides in the final are from different empires, then the empire to which the loser belongs will automatically become the second empire. However, if the two players in the final are from the same empire, then it will be seen if there are dragon summoners from other empires in the semi-finals, and if not, then continue to see if there are dragon summoners from other empires in the quarterfinals, until there are dragon summoners from different empires.

Thirdly, if the two sides in the final are from the same empire, and the two losers in the semi-finals happen to be from two different empires, then they don't need to fight again to decide the second or third, but directly look at which of the four losers in the quarter-finals belongs to which empire belongs to the dragon summoner more. If the number is the same, then move down to the quarterfinals to compare the number of progressors, and so on.

According to the above rules, as long as the dragon summoner of a certain country becomes the runner-up, even if he is the only one in the top four, eight, and sixteen who belongs to that empire, he can make the empire he belongs to the second empire in the next twenty years. Therefore, although the more domestic dragon summoners who climb the pyramid, the better, it is the dragon summoner who climbs to the top that ultimately determines the ranking of the empire. And in the sea of hundreds of silver medal dragon summoners, the only people who may climb to the top of the pyramid are the nine gold medal dragon summoners who are about to compete today!

Nine into five, after the first round of the competition, the journey of some empires may usher in the end of the battle for supremacy early. And this big battle, which is not the final but close to the final, is about to begin!
