Chapter 516: Leisure Before the Storm [6000 Words]
At this time, one of the pot-bellied officers stood up, poked the microphone, and said with a smile on his face: "Ahem. Feed? Feed? Yes! First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you on making it to the quarterfinals of this tournament. As we all know"
"Secondly."
"In one, that's about."
"And there's that."
A flurry of bureaucracy and nonsense went on for nearly half an hour.
If it weren't for Qian Chaoguang's "accidentally" dropped a machete onto the rostrum, which happened to be embedded in the wooden table used for speaking, this old man might have to talk about when.
Such a move won the favor of almost everyone present in one fell swoop.
No one wants to listen to this old thing and let out bullshit for a long time.
The official looked a little embarrassed by this, and wanted to reprimand him loudly.
But because Qian Chaoguang was looking at his neck while trimming his nails with the machete, he didn't dare to squeak.
This old B Deng finally got to the point.
"Next, we are going to have the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals, this draw is very important, you must do it"
Seeing that this old thing was about to start going crazy again, and the others who didn't have the corresponding status could only swallow their anger, Qian Chaoguang didn't care about him, and scolded when he opened his mouth:
"Is there an end? It's over, isn't it? From now on, if you dare to waste a word, Lao Tzu will directly slash you, and I will never be able to open your mouth. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Even the people of the Holy Spirit Sect looked at Qian Chaoguang with surprised eyes.
Dare to turn your face with the people of the Organizing Committee of the Sun and Moon Empire Competition, brother, you are so hard!
The official seemed to have never seen such a faceless person, and as soon as his face was about to buckle his hat and press people, the Immortal Douluo Zheng Zhan next to him stood up with a loud sound, and pressed him back to the seat behind him.
"Now it's up to me to read out the rules of the lot."
As he spoke, he also cast a grateful look at Qian Chaoguang.
What did you just say?
No one wants to listen to this old thing.
"Let's start by asking the four teams that are the top teams to come to the stage and draw lots, and divide them into two by two. After the division, the opponents of the competition will be drawn. ”
"Please note that until the finals, four teams from each half will only meet teams from their own half. The winners of the final two halves will play in the finals. ”
Listening to Zheng Zhan's neat explanation, the anger in Qian Chaoguang's heart went down a little.
However, for this absolutely bloated and cerebral palsy format, he still had to curse in his heart.
Which precious thing came up with such an imbecile form of cerebral palsy?
Damn, a total of TMD is so √ 8 games, I can't wait to stitch all the TM of the whole world together.
I'm sick!
The significance of the regional system is that it is implemented because there are too many teams in the competition, in order to avoid too many rounds of matches and facilitate team management.
This broken competition doesn't have any world rankings, and no one cares who is second, three, four, five, or sixth.
A total of eight fucking teams play quarterfinals, who do you make a meaningless upper and lower half of the zone?
What's the use?
Hurry up and draw lots to play a few rounds to determine the champion, and it's over?
What's so cumbersome about it?
It's just a fucking addition.
The four teams that won the group soon sent representatives to the stage.
There is no doubt that Bei Bei is on the Tang Sect's side, and Twilight Snow is on the Snow Demon Sect's side, both of whom are acquaintances.
The Thousand Dynasties of the Holy Spirit Sect and the Proud Sword Sect don't know each other.
All the teams couldn't help but get nervous.
On the bright side of the four teams, only the Snow Demon Sect and the Proud Sword Sect were the weakest.
The Tang Sect has a team of three soul emperors, and their strength is not bad.
The Holy Spirit Cult is something that the other three teams don't want to meet, they are too ruthless, and their opponents are either dead or crippled in each game.
Only Qian Chaoguang is different from everyone's nervous points.
He is now muttering in his mouth: God of Light and Immortal God bless, I bless myself, I must draw the Holy Spirit Sect, I must draw the Holy Spirit Sect.
First, the lottery division.
"Tangmen, the upper half."
"Holy Spirit Sect, Lower Half."
"Snow Demon Sect, lower half."
"Proud Sword Sect, the upper half."
As a result of such partitions, some people are naturally happy and some are worried.
The lower half of the sect with both the Holy Spirit Sect and the Ontology sect will undoubtedly become the group of death.
"Let's draw for the quarterfinals, and Tang Men, the first to enter the quarterfinals, will be drawn first."
Bei Bei raised his hand and drew it, took out the lottery and glanced at it roughly, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Tang Men drew it. Mingdu Soul Master Academy team. ”
The faces of the Mingdu Soul Master Academy team turned green.
Next, the second draw was the Proud Sword Sect, which is also in the upper half of the district.
At this time, Qian Chaoguang really became nervous.
With a one-in-one probability, it shouldn't be drawn, right?
If he is really drawn by the Proud Sword Sect, whether he can win the championship or not is a trivial matter, and it is really uncomfortable if he can't kill the people of the Holy Spirit Sect openly.
"The opponent of the top eight team of the Proud Sword Sect is. Heavenly Dragon Gate Clan! ”
Hearing the Tianlongmen team, Qian Chaoguang was happy on the spot and breathed a sigh of relief.
The draw in the first half of the region ended, and only Shrek and the Star Luo National Academy team were left who were not drawn.
This also means that no matter what the result of the next draw is, Shrek will definitely be able to bump into the Holy Spirit Sect before the finals.
This is exactly what Qian Chaoguang likes to see.
However, as the leader of Xingluo National Academy for a long time, her face is not very good-looking.
In the lower half of the area, there is not only the existence of the Holy Spirit Sect, but also the Shrek team led by a monster like Qian Chaoguang, and the Ontology Sect team with the shell of the Snow Demon Sect.
No matter which of these three teams they were, they were not something that their Star Luo National Academy team could defeat.
This means that their journey for this tournament has come to an end.
"Next, the Holy Spirit Sect will draw lots."
"The opponent of the Holy Spirit Sect is the Star Luo National Academy team."
Hearing this result, his face changed for a long time, and his heart was even more cold.
She no longer cares about whether she can win or not, she only cares about whether her team members can return to the Star Luo Empire safely.
There is no doubt that there will be no draw for the last game.
Shrek will face the Ontology Sect team led by Vina in the quarterfinals.
Blessed, but not completely.
This is also a good sign, and Qian Chaoguang just wants to fight with the one named Long Aotian in the Ontology Sect.
Except for failing to bump into the Holy Spirit Cult in the first round, this lottery ceremony ended perfectly.
"The draw is complete, and the quarterfinals will be held the day after tomorrow. In the morning, the first half of the competition will be held, and in the afternoon, the second half of the competition will be played, so please prepare for each team. At the end of the race, every race is crucial for you, so I hope you get a good result. ”
The draw was over, the officials left, and the eight teams headed for the outside of the banquet hall.
"A thousand morning lights."
A beautiful voice rang out.
Chiasamitsu turned her head to look, only to see Twilight and Vina walking over together.
Vina said with a regretful face: "I really didn't expect to meet you in the quarterfinals, this is really a sign for us." ”
"Why did Princess Vina say that?" Qian Chaoguang smiled slightly, "I have already heard of your sect's Long Aotian, the awakening of the silver-level ontological martial soul is very different from the medicine jar parallel soul saint of Xiao Hongchen. ”
Wei Na showed a wry smile and cast her eyes on Huo Yutong on the side: "Don't be, I don't believe that your sister will be much worse than Long Aotian." What's more, in addition to your two brothers and sisters, the girl named Qiu'er is really not weak, and this Caitou brother is the first person in the fortress battle method. ”
Qian Zhaoguang smiled back again, and at the same time handed over a meaningful look: "The competition, it was originally an exchange and competition, everyone has a chance, so let's go all out to compete." I just hope that this competition doesn't affect our friendship with each other. After all, we're still partners, aren't we? ”
Vena immediately understood, and politely stretched out her right hand: "May the cooperation between us go smoothly and the friendship will last forever." ”
"Definitely."
The two hands were clasped tightly together, shaking up and down.
Their owners stood in the enemy's chassis and conspired loudly, smiling implicitly.
As the game progressed, the number of teams in the Mingyue Hotel became smaller and smaller.
Most of the teams that have finished the competition have chosen to leave.
After all, for them, this is a sad place.
At the same time, there are some teams that are not discouraged by this and want to stay and watch the game, which is a rare opportunity and a great opportunity to learn and improve.
It's just that in many cases, their wishes are not well implemented and realized.
After all the teams from the Three Kingdoms of Douluo are eliminated, there will be members from the three parties of Heavenly Soul, Star Luo, and Shrek to connect with them and negotiate secretly with their team leaders.
No one knows what they said.
But after each negotiation, these teams basically quickly evacuated Mingdu at the fastest speed, along the special route provided by several parties, and rushed towards their own territory without looking back.
On the bright side, these teams just hid in a corner of Mingdu after the game, and then disappeared without a trace.
Regarding this situation, Xu Tianran, who was kept in the dark, felt confused every day when he heard the reports of his subordinates, and he was really a little confused.
The feeling of uncontrolled affairs became stronger and stronger, and he always had an inexplicable uneasiness, as if something bad was about to happen.
Of course, not all teams will be persuaded.
For these unpersuaded teams, these joints did not take any coercive measures, but just asked them to sign a contract and record it before going to find someone else.
The Quartet has already reached a consensus on this situation - good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and if something happens later, you will bear the consequences, and no one will come back to save you.
When the time comes, if you are really caught by the Sun and Moon Empire, don't think about kidnapping morality later.
You have signed the contract yourself, we have persuaded you, we have tried our best if we can, you don't want to go, and any result has nothing to do with us.
Because it was to be separated from the Continent-wide Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition in terms of time, the finals of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition were scheduled for the day after the semi-finals of the former.
The participants in the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition will be nine people from the three parties, and the final competition format will still be conducted in the same way as before.
Qian Chaoguang is going to take advantage of the past few days to sharpen his guns, and when the time comes, he will give those people a hard job on the field, so that they know what it means to know what "adults, times have changed".
The two-day recuperation period gave the quarter-final teams a chance to breathe.
Every team is rushing to make the final touches and trims.
With the day of the quarterfinals approaching, early in the morning, the entire Ming capital was already lively.
Before dawn, a large number of spectators poured out of the city, in order to occupy a better viewing position.
There will be four matches in a row, all of which will be strong matchups, and any one of them will be enough to feast the eyes of all the spectators.
Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to watch the game today, and they finally show the home advantage of the Sun and Moon Empire.
When the sun first rose, the strongest teams representing the younger generation today marched towards the outside of the city, guarded by a human wall of soldiers.
It wasn't just the four teams that took part in the morning that headed to the venue.
Shrek, Holy Spirit Sect, Ontology Sect, and the Star Luo National Academy team also came early for the afternoon competition.
In a round-robin match, they can play their own games without watching other people's games.
But when it comes to the quarter-finals, it's important to be as knowledgeable as possible about the threat from potential opponents.
Even Shrek, who has a lot of information, is no exception.
Whether it's witnessing the fight or getting used to the atmosphere of the game as early as possible, that's what you should do.
Probably only the two volume kings, Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong, have a lot of complaints about this.
One couldn't cultivate the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, and the other was interrupted and couldn't move the thunder and insisted on decades of morning exercises, which made the two brothers and sisters feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
When Shrek and the others came to the competition venue, the Tangmen team and their opponent, the Mingdu Soul Master Academy team, were already warming up.
In the top half, there is no doubt that Tangmen will be the first to make his debut.
Today's weather is good, the sun is shining on the earth, and everyone is in a good mood.
The others were excited or not, Qian Chaoguang didn't know, but he could see that Xiao Xiao, who was in the rest area of the Tang Gate, was quite excited now.
The little girl didn't know where to bring out a giant soul guide cannon that was taller than all of her, and now she was happily holding a piece of cloth and polishing the dark barrel of the cannon.
Looking at this extremely strange scene, Qian Chaoguang suddenly realized something.
It seems that no matter what creature comes into contact with himself or the people around him, the style of painting will gradually become crooked.
You see, this originally good, lonely and quiet little Lori, why has she become a proper violent person now?
There are also Caitou, Big Goose, Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Luoli, and Ling Luochen
Even Electrolux and Xuan Ziwendu
Oh!
The reason why the painting style of the undead creatures is getting more and more crooked is that they are the bosses!
That's fine!
After everyone entered the rest area, He Caitou, who followed the team, touched his big bald head that was also reflective, passed by with a smile, and pointed to Xiao Xiao to explain something.
Now Qian Chaoguang knows that this thing is designated to be stuffed to her secretly with the head of the cabbage.
The same goes past
No, it was over, and there was another person who surprised Qian Chaoguang very unexpected-Wang Dong.
Wang Dong walked to Qiu'er, who was slightly distracted, and the sun shone on Qiu'er's golden hair, rippling with a glass-like color.
Similar faces, seemingly slightly different ages, two diametrically opposed temperaments of cold maturity and joyful jumping, and completely opposite body contrasts.
The strong sense of contrast formed by such beautiful women standing there with different but different advantages is a beautiful painting in itself.
Wang Dongthief happily hugged Qiu'er, and rubbed hard in the other party's Wei'an's chest: "Sister Qiu'er, you're here!" ”
Qiu'er, who had just reacted, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, showing a faint look of disgust, and pretended to calmly let out a "um" with her nose.
"Hehe, I knew that Sister Qiu'er would come to cheer me on, don't worry, watching this girl's performance this time, I will definitely beat them all over the ground to find teeth."
"Hmm."
"Oh, Sister Qiu'er, don't push me, let me hug me for a while."
Qian Zhaoguang watched the scene in front of him dumbfounded.
Although he had just prepared for whether the painting style of these two would also be crooked.
But now, this scene is happening vividly in front of my eyes, and this very dark and exciting feeling is really true
It's true.
I don't know how to describe it in words!
It can really be said that the book is less hated when it is used, and now it can only be endless.
No, when the hell did they get together???
Is this emotion progressing so fast!?
Qian Chaoguang hurriedly took a sip of cold drink to suppress the shock, and stabbed Huo Yutong, who was also watching the play, with his elbow.
"Hey, what do you think is going on with the two of them?"
"I strongly suspect that the two of them have some secret secrets."
Huo Yutong broke a large piece of watermelon in his hand into two pieces with a clatter, handed it to Qian Chaoguang, and then took another bite.
"It's very likely that something really isn't right about the big goose."
"You don't mean to say"
"The two of them definitely have a romantic relationship."
"Damn, really?"
"You have to trust me, brother, this is from a woman's intuition. What's that called, in your words? Oh yes, orange is great. Tell you secretly, I suspect that Qiu'er and the goose that night"
"Shhhhhhh
"Uh-huh? What can't pass the trial, brother, what are you talking about? ”
"Ahem. It's nothing, watch the play, watch the play, eat the melon, eat the melon. What, this melon is quite sweet. ”
"But you just took a bite of the melon skin."
"I have good teeth."
At this happy moment of eating melons, the people of all teams have basically arrived, even the people of the Holy Spirit Sect are no exception.
They were still so mysterious, all shrouded in black.
This sun is basking and wearing black, and he is worthy of being the owner of the dark martial spirit, but he is not afraid of Reha.
Although the number of people still in the rest area is far less than the number of people at the beginning, the atmosphere is more tense.
Especially the teams that are going to fight against each other today, there is a bit of a needle-to-needle feeling between each other.
I'm afraid that only Shrek and Tangmen, who have absolute confidence in their own strength, can be so easy to cheer up.
On the rostrum, the regent Xu Tianran arrived early.
The orange sat down next to him and offered him a cup of tea.
Xu Tianran took a sip of tea and asked Hongchen, the master mirror of the Mingde Hall on the other side, "Hongchen Hall Master, how is your grandson's situation?" ”
Jing Hongchen leaned forward slightly: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, with the Imperial Doctor Douluo you sent to treat him, his condition has been much more stable." It only hurts many abdominal organs, bones, and meridians, and if you want to fully recover, I am afraid it will take at least a year or so. ”
Xu Tianran sighed lightly: "As long as there are no sequelae, he is the future pillar of the empire." I also asked the hall master to tell Xiao Hongchen that a failure does not mean anything. ”
"Failure is the mother of success, and it is precisely because of the painful experience of failure that their future path can be smoother. I believe that one day, they will be able to defeat those people in Shrek Academy. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Jing Hongchen responded.
He was visibly emaciated during this time.
The fiasco of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy put him under a lot of pressure, and many ministers have already submitted a petition to impeach him.
After being the second child for so many years, it is a shame for the empire to play at home this time and fail to even qualify for the group stage.
Xiao Hongchen's injuries are very serious.
As the most explosive and domineering Emperor Sword among the Snow Emperor's Three Uniques, it is already a miracle that he can pick up a life when he cooperates with the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain.
If it weren't for Xu Tianran's timely dispatch of the only healing department Title Douluo in the Sun and Moon Empire, I'm afraid that Xiao Hongchen would have already passed the first seven by now.
Xu Tianran's support has stabilized Jing Hongchen's position.
But Jing Hongchen knew in his heart that there would never be a free lunch in this world.
After all kinds of incidents, he has been completely engraved with the brand of Xu Tianran's side, and if nothing happens, he can only work for him forever in the future.
For the ruthless skills of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the current regent, Jing Hongchen has long been well aware.
With such a moody future monarch, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
In this different atmosphere, the first game belonging to the Tang Sect and the Mingdu Soul Master Academy quietly kicked off.
Well.
It didn't take long for the curtain to close.
The Mingdu Soul Master Academy is really a bit weak.
Except for the sun girl named Xu Tianzhen, the rest of the contestants can only be described by one dish.
The Tang Gate side didn't even have a team battle, and they had already won the game.
The first game of the quarterfinals ended like this.
In the same upper half of the region, the second game is the duel between the Proud Sword Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Gate.
This game can be regarded as a back and forth, and one move is not lively.
