Zhu Ziyang's statement was so reassuring that Wang Yan couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Okay, what needs to be highlighted is Third Stage's competition system.
Third Stage has a total of four rounds, sixteen to eight, eight to four, Semifinals and the final. Among them, the competition rules for the first three rounds are the same, and the finals have another competition system.
I'll talk about the rules for the first three rounds first. As for the finals, I'm not in a hurry right now.
Third Stage The competition mode for the first three rounds no longer needs to be selected by drawing lots, but there are two fixed competition formats, team battles and individual battles. Each game needs to be divided into two days. On the first day, there will be a seven-on-seven team battle. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this game, because the final qualifying place cannot be determined. It is just to increase the enjoyment of the competition.
What can determine the final qualifying spot is the individual battle on the second day. In individual battles, the previous day's team battle victory is used as the standard. If the team battle is lost but the individual battle can defeat all seven of the opponent with less than three players, then you can turn defeat into victory and qualify for qualifying.
The team that wins the team battle only needs to defeat three of the opponent with the strength of seven people to ensure qualifying. "
"It feels so complicated!" Wang Dong couldn't help complaining and said, "What is the value of this team battle? Is it just to let us be watched like monkeys?"
"Uh!" Wang Yan was speechless and had to say, "Although I don't agree very much, this is indeed a fact. One of Soul Master Tournament's main purposes is to entertain the public, gain public recognition, and increase his reputation."
"Teacher Wang, how do you plan to arrange the match against the Soul Spirit Academy?" Beibei asked.
"That's what I think," Wang Yan looked at Zhu Ziyang thoughtfully and said, "On the first day of the team battle, seven people - Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao - will take the field. Zhu Ziyang will be the main attacker and Huo Yuhao will be the main control. On the second day of the individual battle, Ma Xiaotao will be the main player, with Xu Sanshi, He Caitou and Tang Ya acting as the reserve team."
Wang Yan's arrangement can be said to have taken into account all aspects, but Zhu Ziyang did not agree. He said directly, "Teacher Wang, there is no need to be so troublesome. You only need to let me go alone in the team battle. I have said that I will take action, so naturally I won't just talk about it!"
"This..." Wang Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Ziyang would actually say such arrogant words. This was very inconsistent with his understanding of Zhu Ziyang these days!
"Wow! Ziyang, are you so brave?" Preliminary Team Everyone was also very surprised, Tang Ya even said directly, "There are five Soul King on the opposite side, don't force yourself!"
"I think you can try it!" Wang Yan was also hesitant, but Ma Xiaotao bluntly stated that she believed in Zhu Ziyang. She said, "With Ziyang's strength,, let alone five Soul King, even if it is five Soul Emperor, it is nothing! As the number one genius of Shrek Inner Court, you have to believe in him!"
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao agreed, Wang Yan remembered what Elder Lin and others had said before, so he had to put his worries in his heart and said, "In that case, let Ziyang play alone in the team battle, but don't force yourself, after all Individual Battle the next day is the key!"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!" Zhu Ziyang nodded lightly.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Wang Yan frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell the service staff not to disturb us?"
A pleasant female voice came from outside the door, "Sorry to bother you, I am not a service staff, I am from Starlight Auction House."
Starlight Auction House? Listening to this somewhat familiar voice, Wang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Beibei, who was closest to the door, had already stood up and gave Wang Yan a questioning look. After seeing Wang Yan give a positive nod, he walked over and opened the door.
At the door was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties and full of mature charm. She turned out to be the auctioneer named Qing Ya that they had met at the Soul Tool auction that day. Qing Ya's eyes directly found Wang Yan, smiled slightly, and saluted Wang Yan: "Hello, Teacher Wang. I'm sorry for disturbing you all."
Wang Yan didn't expect it to be her. Although he was disturbed and was a little dissatisfied, he still said very politely, "What do you want? Qing Ya Auctioneer, and how did you find this place?"
Qing Ya said apologetically, "When you purchased the lot last time, you used the account of the Shrek Academy to check out, so we naturally guessed where you were coming from. Shrek Academy's reputation is really too loud. We just made some inquiries, so we came to bother you today.
Well, we Starlight Auction House will hold a top-level auction tonight. Auctions of this level usually only happen once or twice a year. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited by us. I didn't know that you were from Shrek last time, so you were very neglectful.
To express our apologies, our boss specially asked me to send out invitations to you. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. I believe there will be something of interest to you in today's auction. "
As she spoke, she took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table. Then she saluted again with a smile and said, "I won't disturb you all. Sorry again."
As she spoke, she slowly backed away, walked out of the room, and closed the door politely.
Looking at the pile of exquisite gold-gilded invitations, Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "What an amazing Starlight Auction House! There are eleven invitations, not a few of them, and you can send them over despite Star Luo Empire's official blockade of the hotel. What a generous act!"
"Haha, this is not surprising!" Zhu Ziyang smiled and said, "In Star Luo City, any place with a star character is almost all the property of the Star Luo Imperial Family. We can freely enter and exit Star Emperor Hotel. This only shows that the one who wants to invite us to participate in this auction is not the owner of the auction house, but Star Luo Imperial Family!"
"Zi Yang is right!" An old woman suddenly appeared in the conference room, but no one was surprised at all, because this old woman was Elder Lin, and everyone at Preliminary Team had already been informed of Elder Lin's arrival by Wang Yan, so when they saw the sudden appearance of Elder Lin, None of them were too surprised. Elder Lin said, "The person behind this Starlight Grand Auction House is a prince from the Star Luo Imperial Family, and that prince is the uncle of today's Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei. He is an undisputed imperialist. His invitation was obviously prompted by Xu Jiawei."
"In that case, should we go? Elder Lin!" Wang Yan asked.
"Go, why don't you go?" Elder Lin said, "I have already sent the invitation to my door. It would be too embarrassing for me if I don't go!"
"Okay!" Upon hearing Elder Lin's decision, all the students cheered immediately. The three youngest Huo Yuhao even shouted directly, "Long live Elder Lin!"
"Haha, it's okay to go see the world and just relax for a while. You have really worked hard during this period!" Elder Lin said with a kind smile.
After making the decision, everyone returned to their rooms, changed into their own clothes, and after dinner, led by Wang Yan, came to Starlight Grand Auction House.
To everyone's surprise, the Qing Ya auctioneer had already been waiting at the door, as if she had predicted that they would come. She was wearing a long black dress, which looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights, and her pretty face was full of tenderness.
Wang Yan looked at her and nodded slightly, "Hello, Qing Ya auctioneer. We meet again."
When Qing Ya saw the crowd of the Shrek Academy, he suddenly looked happy and came up to greet them, saying, "Welcome all distinguished guests."
Wang Yan said, "How do you know we will definitely come today?"
Qing Ya shook his head and said, "I'm not sure whether you will come, but my task is to receive all the distinguished guests. Regardless of whether you come or not, I will wait here until the auction officially starts.
Everyone, please follow Qing Ya. "
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly at Wang Yan again, then swayed her graceful figure and walked in front of him.
Under the leadership of Qing Ya, they walked inward this time and soon passed the venue where they last participated in the auction. Then they walked all the way to the end. Two girls in golden dresses came up to them. They bowed slightly to everyone and then briefly chatted with Qing Ya, guiding everyone into a new passage.
This passage is different from the splendor outside. It is full of soft luster. Whether it is the floor, walls, or ceiling, they are all milky-white jade, showing luxury but also elegance.
Qing Ya explained softly, "This is Auction Hall No. 1 where we hold top-level auctions. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited to enter here to participate in the bidding.
I have also benefited from the honor of all the distinguished guests today, otherwise I would not be qualified to enter here based on my level as an auctioneer. "
"So that's it!" Everyone was stunned.
Finally, under the leadership of Qing Ya, everyone entered VIP Room No. 7 of Auction Hall No. 1.
