The teams advancing from the losers' bracket!
The list of the five teams that have advanced to the Top Six has been released, and no one was surprised.
Of these five teams, three have Soul King powerhouse, and the other two are a dark horse that has emerged in this This Tournament and the strongest Battle Team in the history of the veteran academy.
Of the five eliminated teams, Thunder Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy were the most popular choices, and the last spot in the top Top Six will be decided between them.
The other three teams, in terms of strength, are no different from being mere runners-up.
But at this stage of the competition, no one will give up easily. The upcoming Losers' Bracket Qualifying Round will likely be just as exciting as the Finals.
Tang Hao hasn't been idle these past few days either.
On that particular day, Qiangu Changkong delivered a brilliant performance, and his identity became a hot topic of discussion in Spirit City.
Qian Jun and Subduing Demon Douluo did not come out to refute the rumors, but Qiangu Changkong's childhood growth trajectory was in Spirit City, and his identity was quickly exposed.
Regarding Wu Qi, only some classmates and teachers from the original Spirit Hall Academy (the Junior Soul Master Academy Branch) knew him.
Since he hasn't delivered any outstanding performances yet, there hasn't been much discussion about him.
After disguising himself, Tang Hao frequently appeared in various Tavern and Teahouse in the city, and quickly figured out the identities of the two men.
He felt extremely regretful.
He should have killed the other man back in Suotuo City.
When the Golden Eagle Douluo, Lor Diarra, appeared, he sensed something was amiss.
They never considered Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong's identities. Now that I think about it, it's clear that Golden Eagle Douluo was secretly protecting Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong.
There's no going back now. Once the other party returns to Spirit City, there's no chance they'll have another chance to make a move.
Moreover, the other party may not necessarily travel on the mainland in the future, and he will also need to protect Tang San during his cultivation.
That evening.
Tang Hao visited the Shrek Team at their Hotel.
"Grandmaster, Little San, Wu Qi, and the Qiangu Changkong all come from the Spirit Hall."
"The Martial Soul of that Qiangu Changkong is the Coiling Dragon Staff, which should be a descendant of Sixth Offering Worship Hall Master, Thousand Jun Douluo, or the Seventh Douluo Worship Hall, Subduing Demon Douluo."
"And Wu Qi might be the disciple of the Third Offering Azure Luan Douluo."
"What!"
Upon learning the other's identity, the master and disciple were both shocked and angry.
Back then, Yu Xiaogang spared no effort in trying to win over Wu Qi, never expecting that the other party would actually come from the Spirit Hall.
Fortunately, the other party declined his invitation to take him on as a disciple; otherwise, who knows what might have happened if he had a mole by his side.
Tang San was equally angry.
He originally thought Wu Qi would be a good partner.
Later, the other party insulted his teacher, causing their relationship to plummet. Now that he knows the other party is from the Spirit Hall, Tang San has labeled him as someone Way to Die.
That being said, it can only make them be cautious, but it won't help them in any way for the rest of the competition.
"No wonder I always felt their moves were somewhat familiar; now I understand." Yu Xiaogang's face was extremely gloomy.
The geniuses from the Spirit Hall came to the Heaven Dou Empire, and even joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where they also had a close relationship with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
He didn't believe there wasn't a conspiracy behind this.
But now that Wu Qi and the other person are at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Academy, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly unaware of their identities?
It's likely that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also part of the Spirit Hall's plan, and since they are located in Heaven Dou City, it's possible they will cooperate with Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong's actions.
Tang Hao scoffed at Yu Xiaogang's reasoning. "Grandmaster, you're overthinking it."
"Ning Fengzhi is a smart man. Everyone knows about Bibi Dong's ambition in recent years."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has an ambiguous relationship with the Spirit Hall; they're probably going to be completely taken advantage of."
The internal conflicts within the Spirit Hall are known to only a very few people outside the hall.
After all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, and the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall couldn't possibly make such announcements everywhere. Tang Hao was unaware of this.
Even if he noticed something through subtle clues, he didn't think the struggle between the Papal Hall and the Worship Hall had reached such a critical point.
Yu Xiaogang's speculation was completely unfounded in his eyes.
After the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect became the first line of defense against the Spirit Hall, and was also implicitly referred to as the Mainland's Number One Sect.
Ning Fengzhi is an ambitious man. He will definitely seize this opportunity to replace the Clear Sky Sect instead of colluding with the Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao was, after all, Yu Xiaogang's idol. Listening to his analysis, Yu Xiaogang, though he had doubts, didn't say anything more.
Next, Tang Hao sent Tang San away and handed a Manual to Yu Xiaogang.
"Grandmaster, this contains my plan for training the Little San in the future."
"I have a feeling that the Spirit Hall has already discovered my whereabouts, and I may not be able to escape unscathed this time."
"If something happens to me, you arrange training for the Little San according to the instructions above."
The Spirit Hall was unusually calm.
Logically speaking, after learning about Tang San's background, Bibi Dong should have taken some action, given her personality.
However, through his recent observations, Tang Hao confirmed that the Spirit Hall had not taken any action.
This situation suggests either that the Spirit Hall is too powerful to care about him, or that they are preparing a major surprise.
No matter what, even if it meant the slightest danger to himself, he would take care of Tang San's future.
Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat.
While in the Spirit Hall Sky Prison, he had already confessed everything under the interrogation of the jailers.
The clues that Tang Hao has noticed may not be an accident, but rather a sign that the Spirit Hall is indeed preparing a major move.
He dared not remind the other party of this, lest he get himself into trouble.
Of course, he believed that Tang Hao had the ability to break through, after all, Tang Hao back then had managed to evade the encirclement and suppression of Qian Xunji and several Titled Douluo.
The Losers' Bracket matches are progressing faster than expected.
The Spirit Hall deliberately sped up the competition, scheduling the Top Six Qualifying Round in the Losers' Bracket to be held in the morning and afternoon.
Two days later, the final spot in the top Top Six was quickly determined.
Sun Buyu couldn't help but praise, "I must say, Thunder Academy made a very wise choice."
In the match against the Seven Treasures Team, the Thunder Academy Team chose to concede defeat, thus preserving their trump card.
In the Losers' Bracket's bracket, they were lucky enough to avoid the Star Luo Royal Academy Team's strengths and were drawn into the Arena Match.
With a perfectly executed tactical setup, the Thunder Academy Team successfully defeated their opponent with a score of 6 to 7.
The audience later changed their opinion of them.
In the Arena Match against the Seven Treasures Team, the Thunder Team chose to fight to the bitter end, which inevitably exposed their trump cards, allowing their opponents to prepare in advance.
Admitting defeat is a good option.
The Top Six teams have been announced. Five of the teams that advanced in this This Tournament are from the Heaven Dou Empire, and all of them are from the Heaven Dou City division.
All Battle Team from the Star Luo Empire were eliminated, with none making it into the Top Six.
When the news reached the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Xue Ye publicly announced that he would increase the rewards for the five Battle Team.
Of course, Top Six is not the end, but the beginning!
