Chapter 290: Battle! Sun and Moon Clan (Part II)
The rules of the round-robin tournament are obviously not as straightforward as the previous knockout results. All thirty-two teams that enter the round-robin will be divided into four groups of eight teams each for a single round-robin. In other words, each team will have to play one game against the other seven teams in the same group.
Going into the round-robin, there will be two teams playing four games each day, and the next day will be two other teams playing four games each in the morning and afternoon. The whole round robin takes about 14 days. The top two teams in each group qualify for the final stage of zuihou.
In the final stage, the final champion will be determined through eight into four, four into two, the final, and three rounds.
Tangmen, Shrek Academy, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were all divided into the first group. The other five teams were able to stand out from the knockout round, and naturally they were not easy to match, this is a veritable group of death! Moreover, the first game of the first round of the round-robin tournament will be held today, which is a fierce competition between the Tang Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
"It's not a good form! Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen walked side by side and walked straight to the competition area on the outskirts.
"Why isn't it good? I think it's good! Tangmen and Shrek Academy only have one to enter the top eight of Zuihou, isn't that a good thing?" Xiao Hongchen said heartlessly.
Meng Hongchen rolled his eyes and said, "This is what you think, people don't think so." Do you think that the Tang Sect will still release water today and admit defeat?"
Xiao Hongchen said in surprise: "Weishenme, won't they? Didn't they admit defeat in the last round? Although the other teams are not weak, they are probably not their opponents. Wouldn't it be great to make it to the quarterfinals with us and meet in the finals, of course, if they or we can defeat the Holy Spirit Sect. Speaking of which, I haven't found out exactly where the Ontology Sect is hiding in that team. ”
Meng Hongchen glanced at his brother a little helplessly, and said, "Brother, you have a long heart." Those people from the Tang Gate. They were all born in Shrek Academy. If you were them, would you rather qualify with the enemy or join hands with Shrek? Even if they can't defeat us, they will definitely consume our strength as much as possible. On the contrary, I think we should give up this round. As long as we defeat the Shrek team, there will be no problem. Shrek is still much weaker than Tangmen. ”
"Admit defeat?" Xiao Hongchen's eyes immediately widened, "Sister, you don't have a fever, do you? You let us admit defeat to the Tang Sect in front of Bixia and Grandpa? Don't say that the Tang Sect may not choose to fight with us, even if it is a hard fight, it just so happens that the new and old hatreds will be settled with them. It's a big deal to expose your strength in advance. That Huo Yuhao is crippled now, if we still admit defeat, what face will I have in the future to mess around in the empire?"
"Brother......" Meng Hongchen wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen said with a calm face: "Dream, I know that many times you have to be smarter than me. But did you know that Grandpa Weishenme asked me to be the captain, not you?"
Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Hongchen said in a deep voice: "Competition, we are fighting for honor. Sometimes. Too rational is not beautiful. We also need to be relentless. Have you ever thought about how much motivation it will have for the whole team if we can successfully defeat Tangmen in this round. You don't have to say anything. In any case, we can't afford to give up on this first round. ”
Meng Hongchen sighed lightly. Said: "Brother, of course I know how much it will benefit us to win this round, but if we lose......"
"Shut up. Cowardice before fighting, a taboo for soldiers. Don't you understand? You don't look like you're fighting. Don't play in the first round. Individual knockout you zuihou one on. In the individual competition, we can make some trade-offs. Our competition with Tangmen will definitely be completed in the team competition. ”
Meng Hongchen sighed lightly. But nothing more was said. Xiao Hongchen is not wrong in what he said, at some point, firm belief is much more important than reason.
In the last competition, their overall strength was clearly much stronger than Shrek Academy, but they lost the game in the end. After coming back, they carefully summarized the reasons for their loss, and Zuihou boiled it down to the word faith. It was the words fighting for the glory of Shrek that inspired the Shrek Seven Monsters at that time, coupled with the strength of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Keyheng, that finally defeated the significantly stronger Sun and Moon team.
Xiao Hongchen really cares about that failure, and in the past five years, he has been practicing desperately almost every day, just to be ashamed of himself in this new competition. No one knows better than Meng Hongchen how much he has paid, so at this time, she can no longer persuade her brother, and in her heart, the strong fighting spirit has begun to gather bit by bit.
The rest area next to the competition stage of the Continent-wide Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition has been renovated in just two days. Only the original VIP lounge area remained. The lounge area has been redecorated and the wooden benches have been replaced with comfortable sofas. After all, there are only eight teams to be hosted at the same time every day. It won't feel crowded anymore.
When Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen came to the competition venue with the people of the Sun and Moon Clan, they saw the people of the Tang Sect who were already sitting in the rest area at a glance.
Bei Bei is still not there, but the other six people of the Shrek Seven are sitting there. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, while the expressions of the others were also very calm.
At the moment when he saw them, even Meng Hongchen wondered if he had guessed wrong, this round, maybe they really had to give up again?
At this moment, one of the people in the Tang Sect stood up and strode over towards the people of the Sun and Moon Clan.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stopped.
It was Xu Sanshi who came over, and he came straight to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, "Long time no see! ”
Xiao Hongchen's facial muscles twitched obviously, I haven't seen you for a long time? Are you blind these days?
"yes! long time no see. Laughing Hongchenpi said with a smile on his face.
Xu Sanshi sighed and said, "It's really a time has passed! I didn't expect that five years later, we met again in the competition." In the last round, we deliberately gave up the competition in order to appreciate your hard work. You might as well return the favor in this round. When the time comes, let's join hands to qualify, what a thing!"
Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly, "We are not unambitious seeds. ”
The expression on Xu Sanshi's face remained unchanged, and he still looked compassionate, "Those who died last time have come back and are all buried in peace." There's time to pay homage to us. It's hard to keep your hands in the game, we really didn't mean to. ”
"You ......" Xiao Hongchen was furious, and was about to explode immediately. Xu Sanshi had already turned around and left.
Meng Hongchen grabbed his brother's arm, "Don't be fooled, he just wants to provoke you." ”
Xiao Hongchen quickly calmed down, but his eyes were cold and terrifying, "Even if he doesn't remind me, I won't forget the blood feud in the last competition." ”
At this time, the first group of eight teams participating in the competition this morning had already arrived, and the Shrek team was sitting next to the Tangmen team. Wang Qiu'er was less than three meters away from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao still had his eyes closed, sitting motionless in a wheelchair, as if he had fallen asleep.
Wang Qiu'er saw him when she came here, but she didn't stop looking. The chill on her face seemed to be a little better than before, even if it was just slightly close to her, you could feel the murderous aura on her.
"Hi, Qiu'er. Wang Dong'er, who was sitting on the sofa next to Huo Yuhao, said hello to Wang Qiu'er.
Wang Qiu'er just nodded to her and didn't say anything. At this time, Wang Dong'er is a man's clothes, and Wang Qiu'er is a mask of tulle, but it is not easy for people to recognize their same appearance.
Among the rest of the Shrek team, Dai Huabin also had a cold face, looking like that, it was no different from Wang Qiu'er. Zhu Lu and Wu Feng were obviously hostile to the people of the Tang Sect. Evil Phantom Moon and Ning Tian were expressionless. However, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen squeezed their eyebrows at Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao from time to time. The Lan sisters, who were substitutes, were smiling.
On the rostrum, Tangerine pushed the regent Xu Tianran to the main seat, helped him straighten his clothes, and sat gently aside.
Xu Tianran took one of her hands and put it on his lap and patted it gently. The orange smiled slightly, looking like a bird.
"Today's first round is a competition between the Sun and Moon team and the Tang Gate. It should be interesting. Xu Tianran said with a smile.
Tangerine smiled, "Yes, then our Sun and Moon Clan will definitely win." ”
Xu Tianran turned his head and glanced at the Mingde Hall Master not far away, and said, "What does the Hongchen Hall Master think?"
Jing Hongchen frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to say." It's just a round-robin match, and for both sides, even if they lose this game, they won't be eliminated. Whether the two sides will go all out is difficult to say. And if you give it your all, the result is just as hard to say. The final winner will be determined in the team competition. For such a team of similar strength, the individual knockout tournament is just a process of weakening the opponent and enhancing their own momentum and advantage. Set the stage for team competitions. ”
Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Didn't the Red Dust Hall Master arrange tactics for our Sun and Moon Clan?"
Jing Hongchen smiled slightly and said, "If the young eagle doesn't take off on its own, its wings will always be soft." Let them do it themselves. In the past few years, my grandson and granddaughter have put in a lot of hard work in order to be able to defeat these people from the Tang Sect in this competition. I'm actually looking forward to this game as well, even though I don't want them to go all out at this point. (To be continued......)
