034.Final Four - Shrek (Preface)
Following.
After more than a month of competition, the arena of the Fighting Soul Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Whole Continent has gone from more than a hundred teams at the beginning to the final four teams that are still left.
For the remaining four teams, each team will only have two battles left at most. The decisive moment has arrived, and so has the time to go all out.
After the renovation of the rest area, there were only four areas left, each with each team separated from each other.
There was still nearly half an hour before the start of the game, and the people of the four teams had already arrived.
Occasionally, the four teams will have sparks bursting out of each other, and while the fighting spirit is high, the atmosphere in the rest area has become solemn, tense, and even a little solemn.
The sky is getting brighter, and the weather is still good today, and the sun is shining on the vast Xingluo Square, which makes the whole square covered with a faint layer of gold.
But in the eyes of the four teams that made it to the top four, this is not only sunshine, but also the glory that they must fight for with all their might.
On the first day of the semi-finals, a team battle.
To everyone's surprise, a ten-meter-wide red carpet was rolled from the direction of the Imperial City Gate to the front of the competition table.
Ten minutes before the start of the draw, the gates of the Imperial City Palace were wide open. His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire strode out surrounded by the palace guards and walked straight in the direction of the competition platform.
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" All the soldiers responsible for maintaining order raised their weapons in the air and shouted hooray.
The people immediately noticed the appearance of the emperor, and they also shouted long live.
The members of the four teams also stood up one after another and saluted His Majesty the Emperor.
Huo Yuhao noticed that beside the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, there were four old men, the four of them formed a square, and His Majesty the Emperor was at the center of this square.
The guards who followed behind were only twenty people, which did not seem to be an exaggeration.
However, the members of the participating teams clearly know that this escort team is extremely luxurious. Those four old men are probably all Titled Douluo-level powerhouses enshrined in the Star Luo Empire.
With the development of the times, the soul masters' understanding of martial souls has become more and more profound, and the probability of the appearance of Title Douluo has increased much more than before.
This has also made the level of the royal family's guards greatly improved compared to 10,000 years ago.
The one hundred and eight soul masters who were in charge of protection around the competition platform bowed to the emperor at the same time, but they did not bow down. According to the regulations of the Star Luo Empire, royal soul masters above the fourth ring do not need to kneel and bow.
Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei stepped onto the stage surrounded by the four Titled Douluo, looked in the direction of Xingluo Square, and said with a smile: "My people, get even." ”
"Hooray, hooray, hooray."
There was a burst of cheers in Xingluo Square, which showed that His Majesty the Emperor was very much loved by the people.
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire didn't stop the commotion, but just looked at the civilians in the distance with a calm gaze and a smile. It wasn't until the square became quiet that he smiled:
"The Continent-wide Senior Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition is a five-year event in our Douluo Continent. It is a great honor for me to be able to hold this competition in my country.
First of all, I would like to thank the more than 100 academy teams from various countries, who have contributed wonderful competitions and let us see the rapid development of the soul master and soul master world in the mainland. It also gave me the opportunity to have fun with the people. ”
"Today, the semi-finals will start later, and this year's Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition will also come to an end.
The draw for the semi-finals is also the last draw for this tournament.
In line with the principles of fairness, justice and openness. The draw for the semi-finals was handed over to the four captains present.
I hope that Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Diao Academy, and our Star Luo Empire's Star Luo National Academy will be able to present more exciting competition scenes to everyone in the final game. ”
"I know that everyone is eager to watch the game, and I am also looking forward to it, we are starting now, I am willing to have fun with the people, and I wish my Star Luo Empire eternal prosperity for generations."
His Majesty Emperor Xingluo's words were magnificent and humorous, and not verbose, and as soon as the words fell, they immediately caused the people in the audience to shout long live.
Among the four old men who followed him on the stage, the one in front of the left took two steps, facing the direction of the rest area, and said in a deep voice: "Please come to the stage to draw lots." ”
An indescribably powerful aura suddenly burst out from the old man's body, and the astonishing coercion even made everyone in the Star Luo Square feel like the sky was dark.
Emperor Xingluo smiled, "In order to ensure the safety of the players on both sides of the semi-finals and finals, therefore, I have decided that in every next match, Imperial Protector Douluo will be the referee and preside over the match.
Today's draw and the first game were presided over by Huang Jinxu's seniors, and Huang's senior's title was Tiansha. ”
As soon as Xu Jiawei's words fell, the four captains representing the four major colleges had come to the stage, and the draw began.
With Xu Jiawei throwing out four balls of golden light, the lottery officially began.
Ma Xiaotao of Shrek Academy had already been waiting for her, and as soon as Emperor Xingluo made a move, she had already risen up.
In this close-range situation, the release of martial souls and soul skills will affect the speed, whether it is her, the Diao Academy and Ma Rulong, the choice made is the same, pull up and jump. Rush to the golden ball in the air as fast as you can.
Only the princess Jiujiu didn't move, still standing there with a smile on her face.
Ma Xiaotao is worthy of being the captain of Shrek Academy, don't look at her as a girl, this fierce force, her delicate body soared like a spring, and almost instantly grabbed a small ball from the air and fell.
When she began to fall, the captain of the Diao Academy and Ma Rulong of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy both succeeded.
And the last golden ball fell out of thin air, and Princess Jiujiu just stretched out her hand and took the ball.
A faint smile appeared on the pretty face of Her Royal Highness the princess, and she glanced at the small ball in her hand, although she was the last to succeed, but the first to report the result.
"I'm number one."
Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "No. 2." ”
Ma Xiaotao's gaze fell directly on Princess Jiujiu's pretty face, "No. 1." ”
At this point, although the Diao Academy has not yet reported the number, the lottery results have come out.
Shrek Academy, which is also No. 1, will face Star Luo National Academy today. And the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will naturally have to face the Diao Academy.
Emperor Xingluo personally checked the lottery number and announced the result to the people.
When the people of the Star Luo Empire heard that their team was going to face Shrek Academy, bursts of exclamations continued to sound from the crowd of spectators.
At least on the surface, Ma Xiaotao drew a lottery for Shrek Academy. Because according to Wang Yan's analysis yesterday, the Star Luo National Academy should be the weakest of the four academies.
The rules of the semi-finals and finals follow the rules of the previous knockout rounds, which are also divided into two days, with team battles and individual knockouts.
The difference is that you have to win both games to qualify, and if you win one game each, then you have to play with two, two, and three games. In other words, there is no longer any advantage in winning a team battle.
The difference between the semi-finals and the finals is that the semi-finals are not completed in one day, and the final finals, team battles, individual knockouts, and two-two-three tactics will be carried out in one go.
Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "I wish the four teams can give full play to their strength in the next competition, the draw is over, please prepare separately."
Today's first team battle will be played by Shrek Academy against Star Luo National Academy.
The second game will be the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy vs. the Diao Academy. ”
Ma Rulong returned to the rest area, and Ma Lao immediately greeted him and asked, "Was Yuhao's judgment correct yesterday?" ”
Ma Rulong nodded and said: "What Yu Hao said is indeed reasonable, as the captain of the Star Luo National Academy, her reaction for a long time was too calm, and it seems that she has no intention of drawing a battle with Shrek Academy in her eyes, and her eyes are unwavering, if she doesn't rely on it, I'm afraid she won't be able to be so calm." ”
Xiao Hongchen on the side showed a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Ma Lao, captain, since it seems that Yu Hao's guess is in one sentence now."
Then let's take a look at the dog-eat-dog show between Shrek and the Star Luo Empire today.
I'm looking forward to whether the undefeated Shrek Academy will kill themselves immediately after being defeated by the Star Luo Empire~"
"Senior Xiao, according to your train of thought, why don't we go buy some paper money and spirit flags in advance now? It just so happens that if Shrek Academy loses, you will send it to others, what about it? Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Huo Yuhao also stepped forward and teased.
"Hahaha......"
"Yuhao, you are so humorous!"
……
As soon as Huo Yuhao's words came out, everyone also burst into laughter, and for a while, the rest area of the Sun and Moon Clan's team was filled with happy air.
"Shrek Academy, Xingluo National Academy, team members are on the field." Just as Huo Yuhao and the others were laughing, the previous Tiansha Douluo began to urge the two teams to enter.
Emperor Xingluo had already returned to the imperial city under the protection of the other three Titled Douluo, and climbed to the top of the city to watch the battle.
Ma Xiaotao walked in the front, followed by Dai Keyheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Both teams took to the stage at the same time.
The semifinals have not yet begun. Under the gaze of the players on both sides, the strong smell of gunpowder has spread.
Princess Jiujiu's eyes also changed a little, her bright azure eyes exuded a faint golden luster, and if you look closely, you will have a feeling of vastness like the sea.
Ma Xiaotao's eyes were like two clusters of burning flames, and the blazing breath brought great oppression to the opponent.
Tiansha Douluo's gaze swept over Ma Xiaotao. Showing a hint of surprise, but quickly returned to normal, and said with a cold expression: "Both sides retreat, until I announce the start of the game, no one is allowed to release the martial spirit." ”
The players of both sides retreated at the same time, but each other's eyes always fell on each other, but in the process of retreating, the formation changed rapidly.
On the side of Shrek Academy, the previous formation has changed, and the people in front are still Dai Keyheng and Ma Xiaotao, but behind the two of them, it has become Xu Sanshi, and Xu Sanshi is in front of Ling Luochen.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu stood side by side, standing behind Ling Luochen. Beibei's position was mentioned in front, standing on the other side of Ma Xiaotao. The posture of the three major strong attacks was put on.
On the side of the Star Luo National Academy, it was also a somewhat peculiar formation. Six of them stood in a triangle, one in front, then two and three.
Only Princess Jiujiu stood at the back. The gold in her eyes was visibly starting to grow stronger, like the commander of the team.
"It's game on." Just when the two sides were paying close attention to the opponent's situation, Tiansha Douluo shouted, and a golden light flashed in the center of the competition platform, and this powerful Titled Douluo disappeared.
Both sides reacted extremely quickly, and all of them released their martial spirits at the first time.
A golden light lit up from Princess Kujiu's forehead, it was a diamond-shaped golden gem.
The golden diamond-shaped gem immediately burst into a brilliant golden light, and then it detached from her forehead, slowly levitating upwards around the golden light, and a magnificent crown appeared above her head, and then slowly fell and landed on her head.
The crown seemed to be made up of countless stars, all of which were pale gold, centered on the diamond-shaped gem, and quickly retracted, and a total of eighteen large stars protruded upwards on the crown, forming a beautiful circle of tips.
Star crown, this is the martial soul of Princess Jiujiu.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black, five soul rings appeared on the body of Her Royal Highness the princess at the same time. He is a soul king-level powerhouse.
And the other six people in front of Princess Jiujiu, that is, the opponents that Wang Yan had introduced in detail to everyone in Shrek Academy, also released their own martial spirits.
These six people are all soul king-level powerhouses. The formation of the Star Luo National Academy at this time turned out to be a team of All Soul Kings.
Shrek Academy seems to want to repeat the old tricks and stage a "group fight" drama again.
I saw that the black light of the Xuanying tortoiseshell shield in Xu Sanshi's hand was sheng, and the light pointed to was the direction of Princess Jiujiu.
It was also at this time that the star crown on Princess Jiujiu's head shone brightly, the third soul ring on her body lit up, and a strong golden pillar of light rose into the sky.
The inside of this golden pillar of light is completely presented in the form of a golden mist, and the dots of starlight hovering and rising in it, which looks extremely strange. From the outside, it is impossible to judge the effect of this soul skill.
On the Shrek Academy's side, they had already launched a charge at the first time, with Ma Xiaotao taking the lead, Dai Keyheng and Bei Bei following closely behind.
Ling Luochen's ice staff had also been summoned in his hand, and the ice staff held high above his head emitted a thick ice mist, enveloping Xu Sanshi, herself, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu all inside.
And this ice mist is still blooming on both sides at an astonishing speed, forming a huge arc, faintly pincering towards the opponent. The four of them were completely hidden in the ice mist.
This was the fourth soul technique that Ling Luochen had never performed.
But the black light that appeared in Xu Sanshi's hand earlier suddenly dissipated in mid-air.
"Is it a false shot? Slick! Xiao Hongchen, who was watching the battle from the audience, sneered.
Princess Jiujiu saw Xu Sanshi flick a shot, but the golden light mist that had risen earlier quickly spread out, enveloping the other six people on her side.
Suddenly, every member of the Star Luo National Team was covered with a layer of gold, and the golden halo around Princess Jiujiu's body did not dissipate, and the starlight was still pouring out from her star crown.
Ma Xiaotao is so fast, in such a short time, she has already rushed to the front of the opponent's formation, the blazing phoenix flames soared into the sky, the huge phoenix wings spread, and a phoenix fire line spewed out towards the opponent's soul king directly in front of the opposite side.
The soul king in front of him is named Huang Heyun, and if he can stand in front, he is naturally a strong attack battle soul master.
Before Princess Jiujiu didn't appear, he had always been the captain of the Star Luo National Academy team.
Huang Heyun's martial soul is also quite strong, with the release of the martial soul, a strong black air flow hovers around the body, the body surges, solid muscles are tattooed, and on the forehead, there is even a king character similar to Dai Keyheng, the difference is that the hair that emerges on his body is not white, nor yellow, but black, pure black.
Dark Demon Tiger, this is his martial spirit. A rare dark attribute, but not a necromancer. The powerful power of darkness gave him a talent that was not inferior to that of the White Tiger.
Moreover, at this time, there was not only pure black on him, but also the golden light mist rendered behind him, the rich golden light mist fused with his black soul power, and there was no collision between light and darkness, but his soul power was rendered into a dark gold with a little starlight, which looked very peculiar.
Facing Ma Xiaotao's phoenix line of fire, Huang Heyun roared in the sky, and greeted him without hesitation, a punch blasted out in the air, the yellow light of the first soul ring shone, and suddenly, a dark golden semi-arc light covering with a diameter of more than one meter burst out in the air.
The flames were splashing, and they didn't even get half a minute deep into the mask.
This light mask is Huang Heyun's first soul skill, Dark Wave.
This scene made Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the somewhat reddened dark wave that was burned by the phoenix's fire line had already arrived in front of him.
You must know that although the phoenix fire line under the increase of the phoenix wings and skyflies is only Ma Xiaotao's first soul skill, as a soul emperor-level powerhouse, her background is so profound. And how can it be compared with the adversary?
However, the other party actually blocked her phoenix line of fire with the same first soul technique.
It's so close that there's no time to think too much. Ma Xiaotao's right palm had already pressed on the dark wave, and with a soft "poof", the dark wave shattered instantly.
Ma Xiaotao's right hand flame ignited, and the intense phoenix flame instantly surged out, sweeping directly towards the other party. The second soul skill, the Fire Phoenix.
In the face of Ma Xiaotao's fierce attack, Huang Heyun made a movement of shrinking his body, the whole body sat down slightly, the third soul ring lit up, and the soul power shining with dark golden starlight accompanied by a loud tiger roar came out, turning into a tiger shape and crashing towards Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame.
The third soul ring, the thousand-year-old soul ring technique, the demon tiger is shocking.
This close collision, Ma Xiaotao's feelings are real. She found. When the opponent's soul skill collides with his own phoenix flame, among the opponent's soul skill, that little bit of golden starlight will burst out first, like tiny bombs, constantly exploding in the phoenix flame.
And this seemingly inconspicuous explosive power is greatly weakening Ma Xiaotao's attack power. With the dimming of the golden starlight, the power of Huang Heyun's own soul technique collided with Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame.
This discovery made Ma Xiaotao can't help but look at Princess Jiujiu in surprise behind the enemy.
What kind of martial soul is that? There can be such a strong group auxiliary force. Compared with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tower, which is known as the strongest auxiliary weapon martial spirit, I'm afraid it's not far behind.
Huo Yuhao, who was in the audience, said confidently while using spiritual detection and sharing so that his teammates could clearly see the scene on the competition stage:
"Without the assistance of a powerful control system soul master, coupled with the scattered front line of Shrek Academy, if you encounter an opponent like the Star Luo National Academy team, I am afraid that the next step is to divide Shrek Academy, so that it cannot take care of the end and the end, and then break them one by one!
Shrek Academy is counting on Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu to stay by Ling Luochen's side to stabilize the rear, which should also be the response arrangement of the instructor opposite.
It's a pity that I don't know if Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu will have the strength and patience to prevent the sneak attack from the opposite side after losing their vision next! ”
