Chapter 209 Hu Liena Visits, the Fifth Round Begins
Chapter 210 Hu Liena visits, the fifth round begins
The last game of the fourth round is between Shrek Academy and Xuanjing Academy. Although Xuanjing Academy is strong, it is still crushed and defeated by the terrifying lineup of Shrek Academy.
So far, the fourth round of the game is over, and the three strongest academies, Wuhundian Academy, Lingyu Academy and Shrek Academy, have advanced to the fifth round, which is also the last round of the finals.
They each have three days to rest and investigate their opponents. After three days, the three teams will decide the final champion in front of the Pope's Palace.
The people of Shrek Academy returned to their resting hotel to recuperate, and nothing unexpected happened, but two people came to the resting hotel of Lingyu Academy.
After Hu Liena and Xieyue changed their appearance, they quietly found Ao Yue. At this time, the three of them were drinking in a tavern. Hu Liena's eyes were full of affection. Obviously, Ao Yue's seven swords to destroy the enemy during the day brought her great shock.
Ao Yue poured juice for Hu Liena beside him and asked softly: "I know you are definitely not here just to see me. We are almost done with the meal now. Just say whatever you want to say."
Hu Liena rolled her eyes at Ao Yue in boredom, then took a sip of juice and slowly said: "I am here to discuss something with you."
"What to discuss?"
Xie Yue said: "Brother Ao, now we and Shrek Academy are both top three. I think we can join forces in the finals in three days."
Ao Yue raised his eyebrows: "How to join forces?"
Xie Yue said: "Before the team competition, our three teams will compete in individual battles together. I think we can target Shrek Academy together at that time."
Ao Yue frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at Xie Yue.
Xie Yue continued: "If it is a team competition, we are naturally not afraid, but if it is an individual battle, we may not be able to beat Shrek alone. I believe you have also seen that, let alone the other people in Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are super geniuses like us, and they are already level 55."
"This does not count Oscar and the deputy captain Dugu Yan. If their strength is the same as Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, our chances in a one-on-one are slim."
"If we lose in a one-on-one, then we will have to fight a decisive battle in the end, and then we can challenge Shrek Academy. This is not the result we want."
Hearing this, Ao Yue looked at Hu Liena: "Do you think so too?"
Hu Liena nodded.
Ao Yue smiled: "I heard that you are going to defeat me yourself? You gave up such a good opportunity?"
Hu Liena blushed instantly when she heard this, knowing that it must be that bastard Yan who secretly told Ao Yue, but at this moment it was no longer important.
Hu Liena said: "But if we both lose in the end, won't Shrek Academy benefit?"
Ao Yue nodded: "If we look at the worst result, it is true, but why do you think we will definitely lose?"
"Although Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are both level 55, there is still a gap between geniuses. I don't take them seriously. I only have one opponent."
Hearing Ao Yue's words, Hu Liena and Xie Yue understood that Ao Yue only had Oscar in his eyes, and judging from his previous seven swords to kill the enemy, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's current performance is indeed not as good as Ao Yue.
But, what if they are defeated?
Ao Yue waved his hand: "I understand your thoughts, but I want to defeat my brother in an open and aboveboard manner. If I win by such a shameful means, I will not be at peace, and he may not admit it."
As he spoke, Ao Yue picked up the wine glass and drank it all, revealing an inexplicable domineering aura: "I will defeat him personally and defeat Shrek Academy. I will use this battle to completely suppress his confidence. Only in this way can I have an absolute advantage in inheriting the throne."
Looking at Ao Yue's confident appearance, Hu Liena and Xie Yue opened their mouths and didn't know what to say for a while.
Before they came, they did think that Ao Yue might not agree because he was too arrogant.
But now getting this result is not what they want.
Ao Yue raised his hand and touched Hu Liena's head: "Don't worry, I'm not acting on impulse."
"And you are all geniuses. If you win in this way, will you really live up to your heart?"
"Sometimes you can do whatever it takes to win, but since this is a battle of geniuses, why don't we use our true strength to win the final victory?"
"Real geniuses are never afraid of hardships. Even if we really lose in the end, it can only mean that we haven't worked hard enough, right?"
Hearing Ao Yue's words, Hu Liena held his hand: "I understand, I will tell the teacher what you said. Let's just pretend that we haven't been here today. After three days, we will rely on our own abilities. Winning or losing depends on ourselves."
Ao Yue smiled: "You are worthy of everything I fight for. Even if I lose to Oscar, I will move forward."
Hearing this, Hu Liena's face turned red. She quickly took a sip of juice and left with Xie Yue.
Ao Yue was the only one left in the room, and the affectionate look just now disappeared. If he was really his brother, he might have joined forces with the Spirit Hall today.
The Shrek Academy was not afraid of a one-on-one fight, but if Lingyu Academy and Spirit Hall Academy joined forces, they might not win.
After all, Oscar had never thought of letting him win.
………
The fourth round of the competition is over, and the finals are just around the corner. The remaining three teams are only one step away from the final championship. In the eyes of others, the fifth round of the finals must be a fierce battle.
However, in the final fifth round, the eliminated teams have already left. They were not even allowed to watch the last day of the battle. Only the truly young and powerful are qualified to step onto the square in front of the Pope's Palace.
The bright sunshine falls on the earth. Under the sunlight, the Pope's Palace looks even more magnificent and tall.
In front of the Pope's Palace, two rows of palace knights line up from the front of the Pope's Palace to the foot of the mountain. They are wearing bright silver armor and holding heavy knight swords, making the entire Pope Mountain more majestic.
Early in the morning, the three teams that entered the final three finals had already appeared in front of the Pope's Palace and waited quietly. The teachers of the three colleges were not allowed to stand in the square and could only wait in the outer viewing lounge.
A total of 21 players participating in the finals stood quietly on the square, waiting for the arrival of the final moment.
The square in front of the Pope's Palace is no smaller than the competition platform used in the previous competition. The square ground is paved with special stones. If you look carefully, you can find that the stones have a layer of light and lustrous light.
Although it is not real jade, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary rocks. This shows how terrible the financial resources of the Spirit Hall are.
After a long time, a team of people came out from the side door of the Pope's Palace. A total of 24 cardinals, whose status is second only to the Platinum Bishop, walked slowly. They walked to the door of the Pope's Palace and stood on the left and right, with 12 people on each side.
The leader shouted loudly: "His Holiness the Pope is here."
At this time, the shouts rang out throughout the Spirit City like a landslide and tsunami: "Long live, long live, long live."
That was not only the voice of the neatly arranged palace guards on the Pope Mountain, but also the shouts of all the soul masters in the entire Spirit City who were not allowed to approach the Pope Mountain. For them, the Pope of the Spirit Hall is the highest belief!
The huge palace door slowly opened, and everyone's eyes unconsciously gathered in the direction of the door.
Bibi Dong, who was wrapped tightly from head to toe in a golden long dress, wearing a purple gold crown on her head and holding a scepter in her hand, walked out of the Pope's Palace with a solemn face.
She had an illusory feeling as if she was infinitely tall, and no one even paid attention to her beautiful face. At this moment, she only represented the majesty of the generation of the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
The golden long dress was extremely fitting, and the dazzling dress was shining with precious light. There were more than a hundred red, blue and gold gems on it. The purple gold crown on her head was even more brilliant. All the light was concentrated on her at this moment.
As for Bibi Dong, Oscar felt that this woman was a snake-spirited lunatic when he read the original book. Not only was she a sickly woman, but she was also a love-brained one...
And what surprised Oscar the most was the cloth-clothed man next to Bibi Dong, who had a buzz cut. Who else could it be but Yu Xiaogang?
When Tang San, who was beside Oscar, saw Yu Xiaogang, he was stunned. He had some luck in his heart, but now he saw this scene, and the last bit of luck was gone.
In the assassination, he could not find another person except Yu Xiaogang.
Just when Oscar was thinking about it, all the members of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee at this moment: "Greetings to His Holiness the Pope."
The atmosphere at this moment is indescribable. In the shouts from all directions, everyone couldn't help but feel like worshiping.
Behind Bibi Dong, there were four people.
Three of them were wearing bright red dresses. Unlike the red dresses of the cardinals, their red dresses were inlaid with gold and silver patterns, especially the gem on the chest that was shining with golden light and as big as a baby's fist, which was full of luxury.
For ordinary people, perhaps this dress only symbolizes nobility, but for soul masters, it is the greatest honor.
Because only Titled Douluo are qualified to wear this red dress, obviously, these three people are of such status.
Oscar was so familiar with one of the three Titled Douluo that he was exactly Chen Xin.
Among the other two, the one on the left had an illusory aura all over his body. Although he was wearing the same clothes, no one could see his appearance clearly.
As for the other one, his skin looked as delicate as a baby's, and his charming appearance gave people a special feeling. If it weren't for the Adam's apple on his neck, no one would think he was actually a man.
These two people were the Jue Gui Douluo who assassinated Tang San before the finals, and they were also the two generals under the current Pope Bibi Dong.
And the fourth person behind Bibi Dong did not have the dress representing the honor of the Titled Douluo. Obviously, he did not have the strength of a Titled Douluo, but he still walked out of this door, which meant that he had another identity.
The elder of the Spirit Hall, to be precise, the honorary elder, and this person was the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi.
After someone shouted the six words "Meet His Holiness the Pope", the seven people from the Spirit Hall Academy knelt down.
Oscar did not stand still and make special arrangements like Tang San in the original novel. After all, no matter what kind of person Bibi Dong is, her current status is there, and only a brainless person would openly disrespect her.
With Oscar leading the way, Tang San did not do the same as in the original novel. The fourteen people from Shrek Academy and Lingyu Academy also knelt on one knee to show respect to His Majesty the Pope.
However, the only exception was Xiao Wu. There was hatred hidden in her eyes when she looked at Bibi Dong. However, after following Oscar for so long, she also learned to hide it, and the hatred was only a flash.
Bibi Dong's eyes swept over Oscar and Tang San, and there was no change in her expression. She waved the scepter in her hand slightly, and did not say much, but said lightly: "Stand up."
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, all the people who knelt on the ground stood up and looked at their Pope with respectful and burning eyes.
Bibi Dong's face showed a smile, and her eyes swept from left to right, sweeping all the twenty-one young spirit masters participating in the top three finals.
"I see hope from you. In front of the Pope's Palace, I hope to see all your talents and strengths. The final winner will get the greatest reward from the Spirit Hall." As she spoke, she waved the scepter in her hand.
As she moved, three points of light instantly enlarged in front of Bibi Dong and floated in the air.
They were three different things, not big in size, shaped like bones, one right arm bone, one skull and one left leg bone, each flashing with fiery red, light blue and dark green light.
Soul bones, and three soul bones.
Even at the foot of the Pope Mountain, the light of the three soul bones could be clearly seen. For a moment, the whole Wuhun City was completely boiling.
Except for those who knew about the final reward in advance, who would have thought that there would be three soul bones? From the light, it can be seen that these three soul bones are of extraordinary quality. Even the people in the Wuhun Hall have greedy eyes.
If this is not the Pope Hall, if there are not several Title Douluo here to deter, I am afraid that someone would have rushed up to grab them out of greed.
This is a soul bone! This is the most precious thing for soul masters, which is hard to come by, and these three soul bones are obviously from soul beasts of more than ten thousand years.
Ghost Douluo standing behind the Pope said in a ghostly and low voice: "The three soul bones are the wisdom skull of spiritual concentration, the right arm of exploding and burning flames, and the left leg of chasing the wind. These three soul bones are all from ten thousand year soul beasts."
"Among them, the wisdom skull of spiritual concentration is from a soul beast of more than 50,000 years old. It was killed by the previous Pope himself. It is the best soul bone, second only to the external soul bones and the top soul bones produced by the hundred thousand year soul beast."
After Ghost Douluo finished his introduction, Pope Bibi Dong said lightly: "There is always only one winner, and the same is true for the champion. Therefore, these three soul bones will belong to the final champion team. I hope that the three colleges that have entered the top three can go all out and win this honor."
No matter what level of soul master, seeing the soul bones, there is no one who does not glow red, not to mention the three soul bones. The strong fighting spirit almost rushed out of the twenty-one soul masters participating in the competition.
Even Oscar coveted these three soul bones. After all, even if he didn't use them, he could give them to his friends.
Moreover, if it weren't for these three soul bones, he wouldn't be interested in participating in this so-called competition, even though he was only a clone.
Bibi Dong continued, "This morning, your three teams will each send out seven people in the individual elimination match. The remaining team will take the lead and directly enter the championship tomorrow. The two losing teams will compete for another final spot in the afternoon. Now, you can send the first player to play."
With Bibi Dong's personal announcement, the fifth round of the finals began.
The first game of the fifth round is an individual elimination match like the promotion match, but it is a three-team match. Although this is not the final championship, it is equally important.
Being able to win not only means getting more rest time, but also means being able to rest and participate in tomorrow's final battle.
Because the two losing teams will have a team match in the afternoon to decide a team that will compete against the winning team the next day and this morning.
At the top three level, the difference in strength is not that big. Continuous competitions in one day will undoubtedly consume a lot of energy and even cause injuries.
And the final will be held tomorrow, and it is almost impossible to recover to the best condition. Therefore, the team that wins the individual competition below is likely to be the final champion.
The Spirit Hall will undoubtedly make the competition more intense if it takes out three soul bones. Although on the surface, the Spirit Hall seems to be selfless, anyone with a discerning eye can naturally see that these three soul bones are prepared for the Spirit Hall Academy team.
Therefore, this single-player promotion match is particularly important, and it not only brings honor to the team, but also allows these talented soul masters to show their strength and talent in front of the high-level leaders of the Spirit Hall and the Pope.
If someone can be valued by the elders of the Spirit Hall, it is undoubtedly a great honor to ascend to heaven in one step.
A row of gilded chairs were placed in front of the Pope's Palace. At Pope Bibi Dong's signal, she sat in the middle. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chenxin from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect sat on the left, and Ghost Douluo Guimei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan sat on the right.
But there was one person who was very special, Yu Xiaogang. He was not wearing luxurious clothes, but he still sat next to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan.
Or the strong men present could see that Yu Xiaogang was just a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level, but he could sit with this top existence, which was enough to prove his extraordinary status.
Tang San silently watched Yu Xiaogang, and the last bit of friendship between master and apprentice in his heart had disappeared. Since the other party had the intention to kill him, he would naturally return it a hundredfold.
Yu Xiaogang just looked at the three academies on the field calmly, as if the assassination had nothing to do with him. His eyes also lingered on Tang San, but when he noticed Tang San's cold eyes, Yu Xiaogang turned away directly.
It is worth mentioning that the personnel of Shrek Academy have changed again. Tai Long of level 41 and Ning Rongrong of level 46 are gone, replaced by Captain Oscar and Vice Captain Dugu Yan.
This discovery made the seven people of the Spirit Hall team look at each other, because of Ao Yue, they have some understanding of Oscar.
But before today, Oscar had never appeared. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun alone had already reached the terrifying level 55. I wonder what kind of strength Oscar, the captain, and Dugu Yan, the vice-captain, will have?
