After the round-robin round-robin, the next step is the quarterfinals.

After a few days of rest, a total of four quarter-finals will be held in one day after the draw was drawn.

Each of the four teams will determine the first and second place according to their respective scores. The first and second place players will be drawn to determine their respective opponents, and they will continue to eliminate their opponents in a combination of individual knockout rounds and team battles.

After the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and finals are played in the same way, with a few days of recuperation between each and every two rounds.

The first place in the four groups was the Star Luo team, the Tang Gate team, the Sun Moon team, and the Dragon and Tiger Gate team, and the second place was the Snow Demon Sect team, the Shrek team, the Holy Spirit team, and the Proud Sword Sect team.

Interestingly, the first two teams of the first three groups all have some kind of connection.

In the first group, the strongest Snow Demon Sect, that is, the Ontology Sect team, seemed to have reached some cooperation with the Star Luo team, and deliberately controlled the score, stuck the small score in the second place, and sent the Star Luo team to become the first place.

In the second group, Tangmen was the actual team sent by Shrek Academy. As for the third group, the Holy Spirit Clans were also sent by Xu Tianran to pave the way for the Sun and Moon battle.

Only the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Proud Sword Sect in the fourth group did not know each other.

Tangmen and Longhumen, these two dark horse teams that came out of nowhere have attracted a lot of attention.

And Huo Yuhao, who had only one person participating from beginning to end, stood out with a winning record and the advantage of being the first in the small score.

With a few days to go until the quarterfinals, all the teams used the little free time they had to develop their tactics.

Ming Yue Hotel, in the Holy Spirit Troop Suite.

"I'll go out for a while."

Huo Yuhao shook off a sentence lightly and was about to go out.

However, another figure stopped at the door.

Huo Yuhao frowned, and raised his eyes to look at the woman in red in front of him: "What's the matter with the Fire Phoenix Holy Maiden?" ”

Ma Xiaotao's voice was extremely indifferent: "The Holy Son has been going out alone a little diligently recently. ”

"It was like this in the previous round-robin, and now it's the quarterfinals soon, don't you think so?"

The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff, and it could be seen that Ma Xiaotao's dissatisfaction with Huo Yuhao had existed for a while.

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "It's just a quarterfinals, can't they solve it?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced faintly at the rest of the Holy Spirit Sect in the room.

"There are so many soul emperors, if you can't even do this little thing, I don't think you should waste your life."

It seems to be a casual tone, but it contains a threat that goes straight to the depths of the soul.

These young evil soul masters didn't even dare to breathe, so they could only bow their heads and watch silently. The status of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter in the sect is higher than that of the elders, and they dare not join in the conflict between these two.

"Get out of the way." Huo Yuhao's tone was a little colder.

Ma Xiaotao was still standing in front of the door: "Where are you going?" ”

Huo Yuhao naturally didn't answer, and asked in a cold voice: "As a holy son, don't I even have this bit of freedom?" ”

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger and stronger, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng and the Fourth Elder Nether Douluo came out to persuade and explained: "Holy Son and Holy Maiden, why be angry for a trivial matter? ”

The Fourth Elder Nether Douluo made a round gesture to Huo Yuhao: "Holy Son, the recent period is the key to the progress of the sect's plan, the sect leader has strictly ordered to minimize unnecessary outings, and there is no competition for the Soul Master Contest today, it is better for the Holy Son not to go to the Xishui Alliance." ”

Huo Yuhao said lightly: "I'll go eat something." ”

Nether Douluo persuaded: "The sect leader said that the cultivation of all the people in the sect has slowed down for the time being, and when the competition is over, there will naturally be a chance to cultivate." ”

He naturally understood Huo Yuhao's "eating" as absorbing the soul.

Huo Yuhao corrected: "I went to the restaurant downstairs, this is always okay, right?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ma Xiaotao in front of him: "Fire Phoenix Holy Maiden, do you need me to invite you?" ”

Ma Xiaotao seemed to feel a little bored, snorted coldly, and turned back to his room: "No need, just enjoy it slowly by the Holy Son." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound of the door closing.

Zhang Peng glanced at Ma Xiaotao, and said nonchalantly: "Lord Holy Son, let's go and return quickly, and try not to stay outside." ”

"Got it."

With a slightly impatient response, Huo Yuhao had already left the suite of the Holy Spirit Clan.

"Yuhao, your doppelganger game seems to have been discovered." In his mind, the Ice Emperor reminded with a little caution.

"People who run outside three times and twice at every turn, and don't say why, it's hard not to make people suspicious, right?" Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "But it's not so easy to see through my vest." ”

"Next, I'm going to ask Jiujiu what they're going to do."

Inside the Star Troop suite.

For a long time, she was in the study, looking at a brief map of Mingdu and the surrounding areas in her hand, holding a red pen and drawing marks on it, there was no one else next to her, only Nebula Douluo, who had been inseparable from her since childhood.

Nebula Douluo was on the side, his eyes full of love and looked at him for a long time.

She has been obsessed with cultivation all her life, does not care about the relationship between men and women, has no heirs, and has long regarded it as her own child.

This Princess Xingluo was completely engaged in thinking at the moment, and her serious face added a different temperament to her already beautiful appearance. It took a long time for her to lean back and lean back in her chair for a brief moment.

At this moment, in the corner of the study, a ripple floated, and Huo Yuhao's figure slowly appeared.

Nebula Douluo immediately spotted him and leaned over to remind, "Princess, Yuhao is here." ”

"Your Highness the Princess." Huo Yuhao saluted lightly.

After a long time, he smiled and asked, "Yuhao, what news did you bring again?" ”

Every time Huo Yuhao appears, he will bring a lot of news that he can't find out at all.

"The round-robin tournament is over, and the sun and moon are about to start tightening the encirclement." Huo Yuhao said, "If you want to leave Mingdu next, you will not face the Holy Spirit Sect, but the military of the Sun and Moon Empire. ”

After a long time, he bowed his head slightly, and his expression was a little solemn: "We have also discovered this, now there are more and more troops patrolling the streets, and I know the strength of the Sun and Moon Army too well, and when they are really assembled, it will be difficult to escape from Mingdu." ”

The Star Luo Empire has always been at the forefront of the Sun and Moon Empire, and has a deep understanding of the strength of their army.

Nebula Douluo also echoed: "Even if he is a Title Douluo powerhouse, in the face of the Sun and Moon Empire's established soul master group, he will not be able to benefit. Fortunately, we knew about the conspiracy of the Sun and Moon Empire in advance, and many strong people came. ”

Huo Yuhao asked, "Then princess, what are your next plans?" ”

After a long time, he said: "We plan to give up the next quarterfinals, and leave Mingdu directly while the encirclement of the Sun and Moon Army has not yet formed." ”

Huo Yuhao didn't expect that he would choose to give up so decisively for a long time, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He came back to his senses and quipped: "It's not comparable, don't you want the glory of Xingluo?" ”

"Xingluo's participation was originally to cover for the assassination of Xu Tianran, and now that the assassination has been canceled, there is no need for us to stay in this place of right and wrong." For a long time, he said indifferently, "The so-called glory, don't want it, anyway, the best result in our history is to enter the top four." ”

Huo Yuhao said again: "Where are you going to leave from?" I know that the Ontology Sect has dug a passage to escape from the Ming Capital. ”

After a long time, he said: "We have reached a cooperation with the Heavenly Soul, and we will flee from different directions. They are from the north, and we are from the south. ”

"In the past few days, we have been investigating the situation around Mingdu, and finally Grandpa Tian found that the army at this point at the southern end has not yet been assembled."

She drew a circle with a red pen on one spot on the map.

"One day Grandpa and a few other seniors, it shouldn't be a problem for us to evacuate safely."

"Not only Star Luo Academy, but also the remaining sect teams in the round-robin tournament will be evacuated with us, so the preparation time will be a little long."

"As long as the timing is right, we will evacuate quickly, and it should be in the next few days. Before we came to the competition, we informed the White Tiger Duke that they would meet us in the Mingdou Mountains. ”

Huo Yuhao smiled lightly: "It's good to leave early, lest Xu Tianran do something black." ”

"Next is the performance arena of the Heavenly Soul and you." After a long time, he showed a meaningful smile to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, the quarterfinals are my last gift to you." ”

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and asked with some puzzlement: "What do you mean?" ”

For a long time, his voice was a little proud: "We carried out the round-robin score control with the Heavenly Soul, and controlled Xingluo's small score in the first place in the group. ”

"That way, if you're also the top team in the group, you're likely to draw a star as an opponent, and we're already planning to forfeit the game, so you have a chance to get a bye. And it also prevents you from drawing the Snow Demon Sect as an opponent. ”

After listening to the explanation for a long time, Huo Yuhao reacted and smiled lightly: "Her Royal Highness the princess has a heart." But what if it's not me who gets the bye? ”

After a long time, he shrugged his shoulders: "Then there is no way, you can ask for more blessings." Maybe you can come with us? ”

Huo Yuhao politely declined: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I will stay in Mingdu and have a more important role." ”

After a long pause, he suddenly said: "Yuhao, you must be careful when you stay in Mingdu after that." ”

Her voice suddenly became soft, full of concern and trust.

Huo Yuhao smiled indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Princess, then I will leave first." ”

Without any retention or hindrance, for a long time, he and Nebula Douluo watched his figure disappear out of thin air.

Walking in the corridor of the hotel, Huo Yuhao muttered to himself: "It's okay to leave early, and tomorrow will be a real place of right and wrong." ”

He was originally worried about what he would do if Xingluo drew the opponent of the Sun and Moon Clan, and the two sides would be killed. It's good now, don't worry.

"You like that human?" This time it was Xue Di who opened her mouth to ask, her voice was a little surprised, her tone was straightforward, and the human beings in her mouth naturally referred to for a long time.

"Good eyesight." Huo Yuhao didn't deny it, and said very casually.

"Do you love that human?" Emperor Xue continued to ask.

Huo Yuhao didn't answer, but stopped, frowning with a strange expression: "Emperor Xue, who did you learn from, and when did you become so gossipy?" ”

For some reason, he always felt that the person who asked him such a question was not at ease.

"Nothing." Emperor Xue's flat tone was mixed with a little confusion, "I just think it's strange, why do you deliberately keep some kind of distance from her?" ”

With her 700,000 years of cultivation, she can't see through such a thing as feelings.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, and replied lightly: "Just like the Ice Emperor said, I was born to rebel. ”

He continued to walk towards the suite where the Snow Demon Sect was, thinking in his heart, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Xingluo and Heavenly Soul had already figured out how to run away, and they were ready to leave Mingdu at any time.

Who are the other forces left in the competition? The Douling Empire has long been eliminated.

Shrek Academy!

How are they going to leave?
