Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eight into Four
But Yue Shen's move was a completely different matter in the eyes of Long Haochen and Cai'er.
Yue Shen must be embarrassed too, right? Long Haochen glanced at Yue Shen, and then set his eyes on the arena.
In the first row of competitors, only those who made it to the quarterfinals in yesterday's match remained.
Eight of them are Yue Shen, Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, and Broken Memories of the Knight Temple, Chen Qi of the Warrior Temple, Xue Meng of the Priest Temple, Cai'er of the Assassin Temple, and Huang Yi of the Magic Temple.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Yi, the quarter-finalist of the Magic Temple. In Yue Shen's impression, this guy had an earth elemental spirit furnace, which was able to transform into an elemental spirit to assist the holder in battle.
The strength of the elemental spirit is closely related to the strength of the owner himself, and having it is actually equivalent to having a personal mage with similar strength to himself.
Although the spiritual power used by the elemental elves is still from the bearer himself, this does not prevent it from becoming a coveted treasure for all mages.
"Eight into four competitions, the draw will now begin, all contestants, please enter." On the field, Han Yao, who had come to the center of the trial ground, announced with a smile on his face and a warm tone.
Among the top eight players in this year's Demon Hunting Regimental Trials, their Knight Templar alone accounted for four, how could he not feel gratified as the head of the Paladin?
Soon, under the guidance of the staff, Yue Shen and the eight contestants had already formed a circle around Han Yao in the center of the trial ground, just like when the lottery was drawn yesterday.
Subsequently, the other five deputy hall masters on the rostrum also came to the center of the trial ground. Although in the eyes of several of them, there is no suspense in the finals of this year's Demon Hunting Group Trials.
After all the personnel arrived, another golden aura slowly fell from the sky above the trial ground in front of the contestants.
This time, there was no need to wait for Han Yao to open his mouth, and the eight players invariably put their hands into the golden aura in front of them, obviously a little impatient to draw lots.
It's just that among this group of contestants, the most relaxed is Yue Shen.
After all, in his opinion, among the other players, the only one who could pose a threat to him was Cai'er, who was also a fifth-order seventh-level.
The golden light was shining, and the draw for this round was quickly completed.
As the aura dissipated, Yue Shen also glanced at the golden light in his hand, then raised his head and looked in the direction of the others.
It turned out that his opponent in this round of the competition was Huang Yi, an earth magician of the Magic Temple, who had an earth elemental spirit furnace.
"The players in the first group stayed, and the others returned to the bench to wait." Han Yao announced after watching the results of the lottery for eight people.
As for the final draw result, he is quite satisfied. Even though two of their Knights Templar had a team of players, the other two were separated.
The draw results for the eight-in-four match are as follows:
In the first group, Long Haochen vs. Yang Wenzhao.
The second group, Cai'er vs. Xuemeng.
The third group, broken memories to Chen Qi.
The fourth group, Yue Shen vs. Huang Yi.
"Haochen, come on." After Yue Shen found out that the players in the first group were Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao, he couldn't help but encourage him.
"Hmm." Long Haochen nodded lightly, and after letting Cai'er go back on his own, he also looked at Yang Wenzhao who was standing opposite him with blazing eyes.
This is his battle of revenge, and it is also an obstacle on his way to challenge Yue Shen.
"Knight Sanctuary Long Haochen, against Knight Sanctuary Yang Wenzhao, both sides prepare." The seventh-order Templar referee who was in charge of presiding over the game also laughed and said with a smile after seeing the two people who were full of fighting spirit: "The game begins!" ”
On the rostrum, Lin Chen, the deputy hall master of the Magic Temple, touched Ying Suifeng who was sitting next to him with his elbow, and then saw his mouth open slightly, and when he hadn't spoken yet, he saw Ying Suifeng move his chair with a disgusted face and distance himself from him.
"I'm more conservative, and the pattern is not as easy to open as you." Shadow said with a pretended fear of the wind.
"Why are you going to fart here!" When Lin Chen heard this, he immediately said angrily: "I just want to mention to you that the top three of this Demon Hunting Regiment's selection competition will be all taken over by their Knight Temple!" ”
After hearing Lin Chen's words, several hall masters who were still watching the jokes of the two on the side immediately stopped in Bengbu, and they all turned their heads to look at the competition in the arena below with expressionless faces.
......
Even though Long Haochen lost to Yang Wenzhao in the top ten qualifying matches in the preliminary round, he unfortunately lost. But now he has broken through from the fourth-order great knight at that time to the fifth-order earth knight, and he also has liquid spiritual power in his body, not to mention that his Haoyue has already evolved and returned, and he can come on the field to help him.
On the field, Long Haochen took the lead, only to see that he teleported Haoyue to the arena in an instant through the connection of the blood contract between himself and Haoyue, and instantly brought great pressure to Yang Wenzhao, who was still casting the summoning technique, and at the same time, he could not cancel his spellcasting.
With the appearance of Haoyue, Yue Shen, who was sitting in the contestant's seat, also received a message from Sol.
Thor:-shovel, quick, get in touch with me, let me see how the big lizard fights.
After learning of Sol's request, Yue Shen originally planned to directly refuse Sol's request. It's just that after a little thought, he finally nodded in agreement.
Remember to switch to the Grey Lord form, which is the fire elemental form. Yue Shen passed on a sentence with his mind, and then directly connected Thor who was still in his dormitory with his spiritual power through an equal contract.
Grey Lord? I like it, Saul thought to himself.
Then, a scorching aura began to emanate from its body.
At the same time, when Yue Shen, who was sitting on the edge of the trial ground, opened his eyes again, his right eye, which should have been golden, had already turned into an orange-gold that exuded a surging and fierce aura.
Although Yue Shen had already restrained the aura exuded by Thor as much as possible, he was still noticed by Cai'er, who was sitting not far from him.
What is this breath?
Cai'er frowned slightly, she was extremely sensitive to breath, and she instinctively sensed a trace of extremely unfamiliar aura on Yue Shen's body.
Is this what his companion is capable of? Cai'er secretly said in her heart and wrote down this matter.
"Huh?" On the rostrum, the Soul Temple Spirit Emperor Sanshui, who was extremely familiar with the aura of demonic beasts, sighed lightly, and then looked at Yue Shen on the player seat below with interest.
"Interesting."
......
Off the field, Yang Wenzhao, who failed to summon the Star Unicorn at the first time, was also very embarrassed under the unforgiving attacks of Long Haochen and Haoyue.
In the final stage of the competition, Yang Wenzhao used his evolved ability of the Star Sea Spirit Furnace to win himself the time to summon his mount partner by resisting Long Haochen's attack.
My Starlight Unicorn is a sixth-level high-level demonic beast, and his strength will never be below his sixth-level beginner-level demonic beast. Not only that, but my spiritual power and my spiritual furnace are much stronger than his, so as long as I can summon the Star Unicorn, then this game will still be a bigger chance for me to win.
After Yang Wenzhao made up his mind, he stood directly in place. I saw that his left hand was raised, and the golden light shone brightly, outlining the pattern of casting the summoning technique, and the long sword in his right hand was raised horizontally in front of his chest, making a defensive posture.
At the same time, the star-shining blue light began to flow out of his chest, slowly covering the long sword in his hand and the armor on his body, directly merging with it.
Star Spirit Armor, this is the ability that his Star Sea Spirit Furnace has acquired after the second evolution.
It's a pity that he still underestimated how terrifying the strength of Long Haochen and Haoyue was after the cooperation between the two.
Especially Haoyue, who has evolved to the sixth level and has three elemental attack methods. At this time, Haoyue can be equivalent to three fifth-order beginner-level fire, light, and wind fifth-order magicians, the only drawback is that its spiritual power is slightly less than that of fifth-order human professionals, and the skills it has mastered are limited.
"Brush—" ×3
When Yang Wenzhao was about to finish summoning the Star Shine Unicorn, Haoyue's three heads had already completed the spell casting.
First of all, a huge fireball with a diameter of one meter flew out in the direction of Yang Wenzhao, bursting the fireball, a fifth-order fire-based magic.
This was followed by several cyan wind blades with the same length of more than one meter, and a holy light blast bomb with the same size and diameter also came one after another.
Immediately behind, there was Long Haochen, who was wearing the Holy Spirit Armor and the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand was glowing with the brilliance of the Holy Sword......
Brother Wen Zhao, you are really brave.
Yue Shen silently gave him a thumbs up, and at the same time, he also closed his eyes. Good guy, Long Haochen's blood contract can summon a mount partner in an instant, and it directly presses Yang Wenzhao to not even have the slightest chance to summon a mount partner.
But fortunately, I will do this too, Yue Shen thought to himself.
Although the contract between him and Sol was only a normal contract of equality, not a blood contract like Long Haochen. But Thor has the ability of spatial attributes, and its spiritual power is extremely powerful, so it can easily sense Yue Shen's location through the equal contract, and then directly teleport to his side.
On the field, although Yang Wenzhao finally successfully summoned his Starlight Unicorn Mount, he also completely lost his combat ability under the combined efforts of Long Haochen and Haoyue.
"Long Hao Chensheng."
As the referee announced the end of the game, Long Haochen also hurriedly helped Yang Wenzhao, who had collapsed to the ground due to serious injuries, and used the light healing technique he mastered to help him stabilize the injuries on his body, and then handed him over to the staff who rushed over.
Finally entered the top four, at this time, Long Haochen did not have a trace of joy in his heart to win, but the fighting spirit in his heart was even stronger.
"Assassin Templar Saint Cai'er vs. Priest Templar Xue Meng, now the players on both sides are invited to enter." After using the reverse summoning technique to send Yang Wenzhao's Star Unicorn away, the referee read the names of the players who appeared in the second match.
"No need for the referees." Xue Meng on the contestant's seat stood up and saluted slightly to the referee on the field: "I admit defeat in this game." ”
"Are you sure?" The referee asked with a puzzled expression, this was the only player who had conceded defeat in the semi-finals since he had been in charge of supervising the Demon Hunter Trials for so many sessions.
Obviously, she is only a little bit of effort away from being able to get the top three spirit furnace rewards in the finals, but she has to admit defeat and give up at this last step?
"Yes." Xue Meng nodded with a wry smile, and then sat back in her seat.
There's no way around it, who made her unlucky to draw Cai'er's opponent? Moreover, as a fifth-order first-order priest bishop, it was already not easy and unlucky for her to be able to enter the quarterfinals of the Demon Hunting Regiment's selection competition.
"In that case, then the winner of the second match is St. Zerle of the Assassin Temple." After the referee got Xue Meng's reconfirmation, he no longer hesitated to announce Cai'er's entry into the semifinals.
"In the third game, the Warrior Templar Chen Qi broke off his memory of the Knight Temple, and now the players from both sides are invited to enter." The referee continued.
On the contestant's seat, Chen Qi, who was wearing a dark green cloak, looked a little solemn, obviously he didn't feel that he was an opponent of Broken Memories with the Golden Horned Mengqi mount.
But despite this, he didn't intend to admit defeat directly, but got up directly and walked to the trial ground.
"Brother Chen Qi, come on!" In the back row, Bai Xiaoxing and Gandalf, who were eliminated in the round of 16, shouted at him along with several other players.
"Come on!" Xue Meng, who had just conceded defeat and finished the game, was still sitting in the first row at this time, and she was also cheering for this Chen Qi.
"You just need to win this round and you're done." Xue Meng said to him.
"I'll do my best." Chen Qi nodded heavily.
At the same time, stripes of turquoise lines began to spread from his face, forming an extremely bizarre pattern.
What is he doing here?
Seeing Chen Qi's back in the trial ground, a huge doubt appeared in Yue Shen's heart.
This Chen Qi looks like he has to be in the top three, and why do these players seem to support him very much.
Xue Meng seemed to notice Yue Shen's puzzled gaze, so she turned her head to him and smiled, "Chen Qi really needs to get this top three, because this is the agreement of the few of us." ”
After listening to Xue Meng's explanation, Yue Shen felt that he was more and more confused.
This is when did you have an agreement, why don't I, the one who has been peeking at the screen in the player communication channel, know anything? Yue Shen complained secretly in his heart.
But it doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, he is more curious than this, whether this so-called ranger archer can defeat Chen Qi, a fifth-order guardian knight with golden horns like a moving castle.
On the field, Chen Qi and Duan Yi, under the command of the referee, also distanced themselves and were ready to start the game.
"Now, the game begins!" The referee announced in a deep voice.
