Chapter 355: The Quarterfinals Match Begins with the Vanishing Wanatou
Xiao Bo gritted his teeth and said: "On the night of the coup, Xu Guohai was one of the biggest accomplices, and now he is in a high position and is entrusted with the heavy responsibility of guarding the arsenal, and the oil and water and treatment are unimaginable. ”
"Xu Guozhong......" and Caitou whispered the name that was still a little impressive.
Judging from the genealogy of the Xu family, even the crown prince of the dynasty, Xu Tianran, has to call him an imperial uncle.
He Caitou vaguely remembered that when his father was alive, he never treated the prince Xu Guozhong badly. But the person with the word "loyalty" in his name is not loyal at all.
Xiao Bo continued: "I am now dormant under him, and if I have the opportunity, I must let him go to the emperor to make amends." ”
He Caitou listened to Xiao Bo, who he hadn't seen for many years, pour out his resentment, and the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart were ignited again.
His father, the emperor, was kind-hearted and hardworking, and was a benevolent monarch who was well-known in the Ming capital. Not only was he loyal to the vast majority of his courtiers, but he was also deeply loved by the people of Mingdu, leading the entire Sun and Moon Empire to flourish.
However, it is such a benevolent monarch who is buried in the point of "benevolence".
Before his death, the emperor's grandfather asked him to deprive the emperor of all his powers, but the father of the emperor refused because of his kindness.
He also fell into trouble because of his kindness, and he also had that bloody night.
And the head of the man's expression became more and more hideous, without the cover of the skin mask, his face looked even more terrifying.
After being silent for a long time, He Caitou lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Xiao, you said that you are now working under Xu Bozhong and have the opportunity to contact the largest underground arsenal in Mingdu, right?" ”
Xiao Bo nodded: "Yes, and His Royal Highness." ”
He Caitou's voice became even lowered: "Then in that arsenal, how many ninth-level customized soul guide shells are in reserve now?" ”
"Many of the regular artillery shells have been removed by the military, and now there are only three." Xiao Bo immediately replied, but was soon stunned, "And the prince, do you want to ......?"
"But if you really do this, even the people of the entire Ming capital will be implicated!"
He Caitou said emotionally: "Uncle Xiao, I don't care about anything anymore, I just want revenge!" ”
"I don't know why I'm alive now, and the only thing that drives me to live is revenge!"
"I want the blood of those evil animals to pay for their debts!"
"There's no time to wait for me to go to Taoguang to raise my mind, only the ninth-level soul guide cannonball can be sent to my father to apologize now!"
"Will you help me?"
He Nanatou could feel his heart beating faster and faster, and his wheezing sound was getting heavier and heavier, as if the scene of successful revenge had been staged in front of him.
After a long period of hesitation, Xiao Bo shed a line of tears, and said in a trembling voice: "The grace of the emperor is unforgettable, and His Royal Highness the prince, the minister must swear to follow him." ”
He had already felt the madness of Kazunatou, and a strong sense of pathos permeated his heart.
The prince and prince he once watched grow up, the only bloodline left in the world by the benevolent emperor, completely changed after that night.
After more than ten years of exile and a sea of blood and hatred, the young man in front of him has already changed.
Xiao Bo did not disobey and Caitou, in fact, he knew in his heart that he was the same as Caitou, and the only motivation to support his life was revenge.
After losing this goal, you can only live in a state of confusion.
Xiao Bo calmed down his emotions and said, "And the prince, I know that there is another place where there is a large reserve of ninth-level soul guide shells. ”
He Caitou hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
"Mingde Hall."
When he heard this, a touch of coldness appeared in his eyes.
"Uncle Shaw, let's go."
"Okay, and His Royal Highness, please come with me."
There was silence between the monarchs and ministers for a long time, and they left the hotel.
He Caitou took one last look in the direction of Mingyue Hotel, and resolutely followed Xiao Bo and left.
Today is the day before the quarterfinals begin, and it is also the day when the draw decides the opponents.
The quarterfinals will be divided into two halves, with all four matches completed in one day.
The top half is the four teams that are second in the group, and the bottom half is the four teams that are the first in the group.
After the quarter-finals of the two semi-divisions, the semi-finals will be played by the two semi-finalists from the semi-divisions, followed by the final winners of the upper and lower halves.
Early in the morning, the leaders and players of all eight teams gathered in the luxurious banquet hall of the Mingyue Hotel, waiting for the arrival of the referee team and the organizing committee.
There was still some time before the draw ceremony, and the teams were discussing tactics among themselves, and the hall was a little noisy.
There are only four people from the Tangmen team now, namely Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan.
Bei Bei lowered his head and analyzed: "We controlled the points very well in this quarterfinals, and we did not get into the more intense lower half of the game. ”
"Excluding all possibilities, the Snow Demon Sect should be the name of the Ontology Sect, and the two strong teams of the Ontology Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect in the lower half of the region were avoided by us. In the upper half of the district, there is only one strong rival of Sun Moon Academy. ”
"It's a pity that the probability of them encountering a strong enemy will be greatly increased."
The strength of the second team of Shrek is far inferior to that of the first team, and if it encounters the Ontology Sect or the Holy Spirit Sect, the odds of winning are honestly not great.
Xu Sanshi said with a big grin: "Beibei, have you forgotten that there is still Yuhao's Dragon and Tiger Gate." ”
Bei Bei smiled slightly, and just wanted to continue speaking, but saw Wang Dongzheng and Xiao Xiao coming in a hurry in the distance.
"Senior brother, senior sister, it's not good." Wang Dong looked anxious.
"What's the matter, Wang Dong? Don't be in a hurry, say something slowly. Bei Bei motioned for Wang Dong to relax.
Wang Dong said anxiously: "Second Senior Brother, he is gone. ”
The second senior brother naturally refers to the second oldest Hecaitou after Beibei.
"What?" Bei Bei was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.
"When did he disappear?"
Xiao Xiao said worriedly: "He said last night that he would go to watch the Mingdu Underground Soul Master Competition, but he never came back. ”
Xu Sanshi was dumbfounded: "Huh? He can't lose all his net worth and be detained there by underground forces, right? I had told him not to go to any underground games. ”
Jiang Nannan frowned and said, "Xu Sanshi, when is it, you are still talking about the wind and cold." ”
Tang Ya exclaimed: "How can that work?" Let's hurry to find the vegetable head! ”
As she spoke, she was about to go out.
Bei Bei hurriedly persuaded her: "Xiaoya, don't worry. Caitou is also a seventh-level soul master, so he will definitely be fine. ”
Tang Ya calmed down and nodded, "Okay." ”
At this time, Xu Sanshi said: "What if the cabbage can't be found?" ”
Jiang Nannan glared at him fiercely: "Xu Sanshi, can you spit out some good words from your mouth?" ”
Xu Sanshi said aggrievedly: "I'm also thinking about everyone." There are only seven of us, and if the cabbage is really lost and there is no substitute, will the next game be six or seven? ”
Tang Ya suddenly said with some excitement: "Now it's such a big thing that people are gone, do you only think about the game in your mind?" ”
Xu Sanshi was stunned for a moment, his expression immediately became a little serious, and he bowed his head lightly and apologized: "It was my mistake." ”
Now Tang Ya seemed to show the majesty of being the sect master for the first time, and even Tang Ya herself didn't realize in her heart that in her mind, the people of the Tang Sect seemed to be a little more important than the glory of the Tang Sect.
Wang Dong is also extremely worried about the whereabouts of He Caitou at the moment.
I heard about Mingdu's underground soul master contest before, and said that as a soul master, I would go to watch it no matter what, and every time I came back safely before dawn.
But until now, there is still no trace of the cabbage.
At this moment, a slightly old voice said a little carelessly.
"Leave him alone, keep competing."
When everyone in the Tang Sect heard this, they turned around one after another, only to see a sloppy old man eating chicken legs.
It was Gluttonous Douluo, Xuan Lao.
"But, Xuan Lao ......" Tang Ya just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xuan Lao.
"The current grouping situation is very unfavorable, the second team is divided into the upper half of the area with many strong opponents, their strength is not as good as yours, and you can only rely on you to defend the glory of Shrek."
Xuan Lao said: "Don't affect your mentality because of the lack of personnel, I know that you don't have reserves, I'll see if I can find a gap to draw people from the second team to become your substitute." ”
He threw away the chicken leg bones in his hand and continued, "Evil Phantom Moon's figure is somewhat similar to that of Nakatou, and her strength is also good. Or you can transfer Ning Tian over and add a soul master or auxiliary soul master for you. ”
Xuan Lao finally took a sip of wine: "As for the cabbage, I and the elders will help find it, you can rest assured." ”
Listening to Xuan Lao's instructions, everyone in the Tang Sect was silent.
Bei Bei said in a low voice: "For the time being, this can only be the case, follow the arrangement of Xuan Lao." ”
Tang Ya had no choice but to nod respectfully: "Yes, Xuan Lao." ”
Everyone in the Tang Sect did not express any objection to Xuan Lao's arrangement, although they were nominally the Tang Sect team, they all knew in their hearts that they were the first team of Shrek Academy.
"Well, let's draw lots first."
After Xuan Lao finished ordering, he turned his back and continued to take out a chicken leg to eat.
He did not identify himself or strength, and no one present recognized him, only treating him as a strange and sloppy old man.
Looking at Xuan Lao's back, Wang Dong felt a trace of incomprehension and confusion in his heart.
She didn't know why, Xuan Lao, who was a little stern but still a little kind on weekdays, would become so strange when he came to the Soul Master Competition.
This was the case last time, and it's the same this time, as if I'm enchanted for the so-called Shrek glory.
Xuan Lao almost lost hope in his heart for the second team, the second team is not only weaker than the first team in terms of overall strength, but also faces greater pressure on the group.
Now, if you can directly give up the second team and temporarily transfer a few top combat forces from the second team to the first team, the strength of the first team can be greatly complemented, and the chances of winning the championship will be greatly increased.
While thinking, Xuan Lao did not leave, but scanned the hall, searching for a certain person.
Huo Yuhao.
In fact, at the beginning of this competition, he was extremely surprised by Huo Yuhao's appearance, and he must have a face-to-face conversation with him.
However, except for participating in the competition, Huo Yuhao seemed to have disappeared completely, no matter where he was, he couldn't be found, and now in this lottery hall, he would definitely not be able to escape.
Finally, Huo Yuhao also appeared, he was the only one, and the three of Tianmeng did not come out.
"That old man with chicken legs is also there, Yuhao, we won't go out, you be careful......" Tianmeng said in the sea of spirits.
"I've seen it, so I don't need to be reminded." Huo Yuhao said with a frown.
The Snow Emperor also said in a condensed voice: "There are at least ninety-eight levels, such a powerful human being. And in him, I felt a kind of blood pressure. ”
Xuan Lao naturally also discovered Huo Yuhao and slowly stepped forward.
"Elder Xuan, long time no see." Huo Yuhao said lightly.
Xuan Lao snorted coldly and said, "Huo Yuhao, I didn't expect you to recognize me." ”
He still wanted to continue, but he had to stop for the time being, so he had to stop listening to the officials on the stage.
"All the young soul master elites from all over the mainland, here, I would like to congratulate you all on passing the fierce round-robin competition and entering the ......"
On the rostrum, an official smiled and gave an emotional speech for a full quarter of an hour. This kind of eloquence made Huo Yuhao sigh that although the other party has no soul power, he is also a division level to say the least.
After the speech, it was time for the lottery.
"Next, four teams from the upper half of the district are invited to come to the stage for a lottery."
Four teams sent representatives to the stage.
Shrek sent the captain Dai Huabin, the Holy Spirit Sect sent the team member Ji Li, the Snow Demon Sect sent the team member Dusk Xue, and the Proud Sword Sect sent the captain Wu Yifan.
The Shrek team was already nervous, along with everyone in the Tang Sect.
None of them were willing to draw the Holy Spirit Sect and the Snow Demon Sect, and the best result was naturally the weakest Proud Sword Sect.
"The cards with the names of the four teams are in the box, please send one of you to draw one as your opponent, if you draw yourself, you will draw again, and the remaining two teams will automatically become opponents."
"Who's going first, please?" Before the official finished speaking, he saw Wu Yifan, the captain of the Proud Sword Sect, wave his hand and shoot out a wisp of soul power, and a card popped up in the void in the box, on which the big characters of the Holy Spirit Sect were written.
Shrek and the Tang Sect couldn't help but show tricky looks, which meant that in the first round of the quarterfinals, Shrek collided with the Holy Spirit Sect.
Next up are the bottom half of the teams.
Xingluo sent the team leader for a long time, Sun Moon sent Meng Hongchen, Tang Sect sent the captain Tang Ya, and Long Humen naturally only had Huo Yuhao alone.
He didn't speak for a long time, just glanced at Huo Yuhao.
Meng Hongchen smiled slightly: "Since you don't want to come, let me try your luck." ”
After speaking, she reached for the lottery box and took out a card, which was written in the Star Luo Royal Academy.
Tang Ya couldn't help but be stunned, and turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao.
"How can it be so coincidental?" Offstage, Wang Dong frowned.
This means that in the first quarterfinals, Tangmen and Huo Yuhao became opponents.
Meng Hongchen looked at Jiujiu with some contempt, and just wanted to open his mouth to make a pre-match provocation, but he smiled slightly when he saw Jiujiu, and then said directly to the referee.
"Chief Referee, I will abandon the game on behalf of the Star Luo Royal Academy."
This made Meng Hongchen a little stunned, as if he had hit the cotton with all his strength: "What? How can you just give up? ”
The referee didn't expect such a situation, and asked with some surprise: "Team Leader Xingluo, are you sure you want to do this?" ”
After a long time, he saluted helplessly: "I'm very sorry, referee, our team members were too injured in the round-robin match, I'm afraid they won't be able to play the next quarterfinals." ”
Zheng Zhan pondered for a while and said, "Since this is the case, it can only be like this." Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, congratulations on your successful promotion and becoming the first top four team. ”
After a long time, he glanced at Meng Hongchen defiantly, and let out a slight nasal voice with some disdain, as if they were the more arrogant side who gave up the game.
At the same time, she shrugged helplessly at Huo Yuhao, the two exchanged glances, and returned to the court.
