The next day, Roy's team was seeded and the news of the freshman semifinals was published in the Academy Newspaper.

This news immediately caused widespread discussion among everyone, and before that, everyone was speculating about who would be able to guarantee the top four in the three teams of Qin Xiang, Zorn, and Roy.

In fact, whether it is guaranteed or not has no impact on the final results, and the team with the strength to win the championship can reach the finals one by one even if it is not guaranteed.

The "seed team" is more of a status symbol, which represents the official recognition of the strength of the team by the college, and also shows that from the professional perspective of the college tutors, the team has a greater hope of winning the championship.

Most of the melon-eating people are not dissatisfied with the academy's final choice of Roy's team, for them, the strength of these three teams is far superior to that of ordinary teams, each has its own strengths, no matter who is chosen, it is not surprising.

And judging from the attitude of the academy's officials, it seems that the gold content of the legal envoy is higher than that of the direct line of the temple family and the inheritor of the ruling.

So, can Roy's team really withstand Qin Xiang and Zorn's offensive and have the last laugh and win the freshman competition?

No one can say for sure, so they are paying extra attention to this new big score.

Not only the first-year freshmen, but also the whole school has maintained a very high degree of discussion about this freshman competition, and there is another reason for this.

The reason for this is that before the new students entered the school, the Inheritor Academy was ruled by a "once-in-a-century team" for three years.

As soon as Qin Liu, Vera, Crane, and Barton, the direct lineage of the four temple families, were enrolled, their performance overshadowed everyone's brilliance.

Needless to say, the freshman Dabi had two other titles left in the academy: the "House Ribbon" and the "Sidney Medal", and the final also became a civil war between the four of them.

Their strength is so exaggerated that even the seniors are not their opponents.

Just like the scorching sun in the sky and the stars are hidden, in the past three years of their school, all the honors are theirs, and all the people will not be stronger than them.

The world of the inheritors is dominated by the strong, so they have always been regarded as benchmarks and role models in the academy, and their achievements and deeds are also talked about.

Now, with their graduation and departure, everyone is looking forward to the next team of newcomers with the strength and dominance they have to continue the legend of the academy once again.

Is that team Qin Xiang's team, or Zorn's team, or the Roy team?

Everyone will be waiting to see.

……

After guaranteeing the semi-finals, Roy and others do not have to participate in the two rounds of eliminations of 12-in-6 and 6-in-3, but this does not mean that they are idle.

There are no underdogs among the top 12 teams, and during this period of the game, Roy and the four traveled to various sub-divisions to observe and study the tactics and playing styles of other teams.

Among them, it is natural to watch the game between Qin Xiang's team and Zorn's team the most carefully, after all, they are the most powerful contenders for the victory of the freshman competition.

Then, on the afternoon of the end of the 6-in-3 knockout round, the top four list and the semi-final battle table were officially announced:

First semi-finals: Qin Xiang's team VS Zorn's team.

Semi-finals 2: Roy's team vs. Kuro's team.

"I staggered with those two teams in the semi-finals."

Looking at the announced list, Roy raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Now we have really become the chosen ones to escort the finals." ”

"I don't know if Zorn and them will be crushed by Qin Xiang."

Harvey frowned, "My mood is a little complicated. On the one hand, I hope to meet Panna in the final.

"On the other hand, Qin Xiang is our old classmate after all, and as an alumnus of Kassel Elementary Academy, I don't want him to lose to someone from Hodvog Elementary Academy."

"Don't think about it so much, we have our own games to play."

Roy waved his hand, "The teams that can enter the top four are not weak, even if we don't meet them, we have to go all out to prepare for the Black Tongyi team." ”

Kuro Kiriyi was the leader of the Assassin Career Blood Dance Class, and after watching the battle a few times before, he was quite impressed by this team.

Being able to enter the top four is enough to prove his strength, in fact, among the four people in Hei Tongyi's team, each of them has the level of a third-order squad leader.

Its teams are composed of: Third-Order Blood Dance, Third-Order Berserker, Third-Order Sacrifice, and Third-Order Thunder Summoning.

Roy wasn't worried about his team losing.

It's just that since he is determined to make a name for himself in the freshman competition and won the honor of being seeded by the team, he hopes that his team can continue to maintain a record of "zero casualties" and win all the battles.

At present, the team that also maintains "zero casualties" and has not been knocked down in several rounds of games, except for them, only Qin Xiang's team and Zorn's team are left.

In this way, the four of Roy got together and studied the countermeasures for a night with the battle records of the Black Tongyi team, and then in the main competition area of the second day, the semifinals of the freshman competition came as scheduled.

From the semi-finals onwards, the venue was moved to the main arena with a wider area and higher facilities.

Roy and the others' game was in the second game, so they came to the audience first, ready to watch the duel between Qin Xiang's team and Zorn's team.

As the minutes ticked by, the game was about to begin, and the crowd in the stands was growing, Arya leaned over to Roy and sighed:

"The last time we were in the main division was a few months ago at the final of the Sidney Medal."

"yes." Roy nodded, "At the time, we were just spectators, but now, we're going to be playing in the main arena as well. ”

"Look, both teams are in!" Harvey's eyes lit up on the side, and he stretched out his hand to the arena.

In the main arena at this time, the four Qin Xiang and the four Zorn entered one after another from their respective player passages, put on the talisman and began to make the final warm-up preparations.

"Roy, which of them do you think will win?"

Xavi rubbed his hands excitedly, "The atmosphere in the main competition area is completely different from the sub-competition area, there are so many spectators here, I feel a little nervous." ”

Roy muttered, "The strength of both sides is one fourth-order and three third-order. I think the key point that will determine the outcome should be on Qin Xiang and Zorn of the fourth order.

"Their legacies are all head-on attacks, and whoever can knock out the opposing captain first will gain a huge advantage.

"Teacher Ye, who do you think is stronger, Qin Xiang or Zorn?"

"...... them"

Ye Tianchen held his chin and looked at the two teams on the field, and said: "In the case of the same level, it is naturally more advantageous to adjudicate." ”

"I think so too." Roy nodded, "Qin Xiang is indeed the best in sword cultivation at the same level, but the opponent is a rare and powerful ruling after all, and it is not easy to overwhelm the opponent. ”

By listening to the public opinion in the past few days, he could clearly feel that most of the people in the academy were too optimistic about Qin Xiang's strength.

With Qin Liu's example as an example, they also had considerable expectations for Qin Xiang to defeat the ruling of the same rank.

But is that really the case? Also as a ruling, Roy naturally knows how strong this inheritance is, and the reason why the phrase "ruling invincible under the same rank" is widely circulated proves that it is still applicable to most occasions.

Freaks like Qin Liu are just an exception after all.

Gu Qi

In the crowded main competition area, many spectators were cheering for the team they supported, and on the field, Qin Xiang and Zorn looked at each other from afar.

"Are you nervous?" Gaia asked, walking up to him.

"No kidding." Qin Xiang's face was expressionless, "It's just a semi-final, but are you guys ready?" ”

"Of course."

Gaia smiled, and Karene and Anna on the side also nodded.

At that moment, a protective shield was raised on the edge of the field, and with the referee's whistle, the first semi-final officially began.

At the beginning of the game, on Zorn's side, Nightingale took the lead in activating the skill "Elven Wings", and a pair of pale cyan wings appeared behind her, supporting her to quickly rise into the air.

"Good view." The nightingale bent her bow and arrows in the air, "Start shooting." ”

The cyan arrows shot at Qin Xiang's team one after another, and her target was Anna, the priest opposite.

Originally, at this time, it was not impossible to call Gaia, who was a guardian knight, to come over to help block the arrows, but in this way, it would be equivalent to the nightingale dragging two people alone, and the situation would instantly become a disadvantage.

A good pastor is one who protects himself when he supports others.

Anna was prepared for the nightingale's attack, she raised her staff and quickly condensed a translucent light curtain to block the nightingale's shot.

The priest's third-order skill "Curtain of Light" is slightly similar to the Holy Knight's sixth-order skill "Holy Protection", which summons a light curtain for defense.

Although the first wave of attack was blocked, this was only the beginning, and as Nightingale attacked, Zorn, Panna, and Jiang Qiyi also rushed forward.

The trio of the assault team is led by Panna, who wears the "Dragon Scale Armor" and drags a spear in her hand to cut a string of sparks on the ground.

Gaia summoned the "Earth Armor" and "Xuanwu Shield", and took the lead in carrying the shield, and Panna strode forward, and a melodious horn suddenly sounded on the field.

Mithril Knight's third-order skill "War Horn": Increases the strength and morale of allies within the range, and increases resistance to ailments.

With the blessing of the horn of war, Panna pressed forward, the spear in her hand flashing with a little silver light, as if a dragon had gone out to sea and stabbed straight at Gaia.

Mithril Knight's third-order skill, "Overlord Gun", has a piercing effect on physical defense.

Panna's spear pierced through the shield and earth armor, and the head of the spear dug deep into Gaia's shield, and she was about to continue piercing forward, when she suddenly felt empty under her feet.

Gaia used the third-order guardian knight skill "Ground Depression", and the square inch of the place she was standing on quickly collapsed, causing her to fall into the deep pit.

Gaia temporarily restrained Panna on the opposite side, and Karen in the back row naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.

Panna looked up, only to see several orange-red fireballs smashing towards her like meteors above the pit.

At this moment, the surface of the pit was suddenly covered with a layer of ice, and Jiang Yiyi arrived in time to activate the skill "Ice Spirit Condensation".

The fireball smashed into the ice, without causing any effect on Panna in the pit.

The ice then melted, and Panna leapt out of the pit and re-attacked Gaia.

Jiang condensed an ice shield and rushed towards her while carrying Kalian's fireball technique, wanting to involve the battle between the two mages in melee combat.

Karen naturally wouldn't do what she wanted, she took a half step back and released her skill, and a wall of fire burst up, spanning between the two of them.

The temperature inside the wall of fire was extremely high, and it was undoubtedly unrealistic to rush over with an ice shield, Jiang Qiyi was about to bypass the wall of fire, when a bright sword light suddenly flashed in front of him.

Qin Xiang drew his sword.

Kalian and Anna were at the back of Qin Xiang's team, and Jiang Qiyi would naturally be intercepted by Qin Xiang in the front row in the process of chasing Kalian.

Qin Xiang pulled out the Ten Broken Sword, only to see that the inscription on the Ten Broken Sword Sword symbolizing the water attribute was lit up, and as he slashed out with a sword, the ice shield in Jiang Yiyi's hand was cut in half.

This is the special skill of the Ten Broken Sword, its sword body is engraved with ten different inscriptions, as long as the inscription of the corresponding attribute is activated, it can cause the effect of piercing and reducing damage to the defense or attack of that attribute.

However, this skill also has limitations, it only works on attacks and defenses below the wielder's level, and when facing attacks and defenses above the sixth level, the effect of piercing defense and attack reduction will be halved.

As a fourth-order Qin Xiang, he couldn't use this sword to reduce or penetrate attacks and defenses above the fourth order, but now that he was the person with the highest rank on the field, these restrictions were equivalent to nothing.

At this time, after his Ten Broken Swords were exempted from the water attribute, all the ice weapons or shields summoned by Jiang Yiyi using [Ice Spirit Condensation] would be easily shattered under the edge of the Ten Broken Swords.

Jiang Xuanyu quickly retreated, Qin Xiang approached with his sword, and the Ten Broken Sword was about to stab Jiang Xuan's chest.

And in the next moment, a short sword flew in the air and stabbed towards Qin Xiang.

The short sword was menacing, Qin Xiang stopped, and swung the short sword with a sword.

And at the moment when the Ten Broken Swords collided with the short swords, a sudden soul impact burst out from the short swords and attacked Qin Xiang.

Judgment 4th Rank Skill "Judge's Order": Attach a mark to an object, the mark can be triggered at any time and cause a soul attack.

Soul attacks are not something that can be blocked by conventional armor, at such a close distance, Qin Xiang was directly hit by the soul impact, he only felt his head buzz, and the whole person paused.

However, after learning that Zorn had been promoted to the fourth order and could use the "Judge's Order", Qin Xiang naturally also wore soul armor to deal with it.

Under the protection of the soul armor, he was not greatly affected and quickly regained his senses.

When he came back to his senses, he saw more daggers shooting at him, each of which was accompanied by a judge's order, unleashing a soul blast as it approached him.

Even with the protection of soul armor, a large amount of soul attacks in a short period of time made him a little dizzy.

Qin Xiang retreated and blocked at the same time, and after the attack, the short swords automatically flew back to Zorn's side and floated in the air, looking so strange.

Zorn's golden eyes looked at Qin Xiang emotionlessly, his hands stroked the several short swords around him, and walked over step by step.

"You do what you have to do." He came to Jiang Qiyi's side and said calmly.

Jiang Yiyi nodded, condensed the ice sword in his hand, and attacked Kalian again.

Qin Xiang let Jiang Qiyi pass by him, and the current battle situation could not be distracted by him, he clenched his long sword and focused all his attention on Zorn.

Naturally, he had studied the fighting style of Zorn's team, but Zon had never used these levitating daggers before today's match.

That said, it's Zorn's secret weapon.

It is true that the second-order skill of the judgment, "Space Hand", can take objects in the air, but it is impossible for the fourth-order judgment to control so many short swords to attack at the same time, this must be a special spiritual weapon specially developed for the judgment.

Just like the black glove that Roy wears on his hand.

"Need to be so surprised?"

Looking at Qin Xiang's solemn expression, Zorn curled the corners of his mouth, "Do you think that only you have a super grade spirit weapon?" ”
