Top 8 Draw Lots and the Opening Battle

The following morning, at the Mingdu East Suburb Arena.

Today is the day the draw for the Top 8 match of the Soul Master Competition begins.

Early in the morning, the Audience Stands were already packed with people.

The competition has progressed to the final stage. Today and tomorrow are the Top 8 match, with only two matches each day. The day after tomorrow is the Semifinals, and the day after that is the final.

Therefore, there are only four days left in this Soul Master Competition, and the audience's enthusiasm is naturally high.

The top eight teams, including Shrek and Tang Sect, arrived at their respective rest areas early.

The referee on the stage was still Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo.

Seeing that Regent King Xu Tianran and Princess Ju Zi were seated in the VIP area, Zheng Zhan began, "The All Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Competition officially enters its final stage today. It is an honor to have all of you accompany us along the way! Now, please invite the eight teams that have emerged from the Group Stage to send representatives to the stage to draw lots to determine their opponents."

Subsequently, one person from each of the eight teams advanced to the finals.

As the team leader, Zhou Huan naturally had to go on stage at this time.

With a casual glance, Zhou Huan saw that the Tang Sect sent Beibei, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy sent Xiao Hongchen, and the Holy Spirit Sect sent Dai Huabin, dressed in black and expressionless. As for the people from the other four teams, well, they weren't important; Zhou Huan didn't recognize them anyway.

After all eight players came up on stage, Zheng Zhan took out a wooden box and said, "There are four pairs of numbered balls inside. Those who draw the same number will be your opponents in the next match. Please draw lots."

At this point, no one was in a rush to be first; each person, from left to right, drew a numbered ball from the wooden box.

Zhou Huan looked at the number in her hand: Number One.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Xiao Hongchen also had a number ball with the number "1" written on it.

Wait, isn't this a coincidence?

So Zhou Huan gave Xiao Hongchen a polite smile, but Xiao Hongchen's face immediately darkened.

Zhou Huan was completely baffled and could only mutter, "Rude."

To be honest, although Shrek, Mingde Hall, and the Sun Moon Empire are enemies, Zhou Huan himself has no personal grudges against Xiao Hongchen and his Sun Moon Team.

Therefore, Zhou Huan will not be like Huo Gua and the others in the original work, who would kill anyone they see from the Sun Moon Team.

In fact, these conflicts between empires had absolutely nothing to do with Zhou Huan, and he never cared about them.

Of course, if anyone from the Sun Moon Team dared to harbor murderous intent towards members of the Shrek during the match, then Zhou Huan couldn't be blamed.

But at least for now, there's no blood feud between them, so what's with Xiao Hongchen's face turning as black as a clay pot?

Therefore, Zhou Huan was speechless, utterly speechless. She was clearly such a polite person, yet she was still being treated unwelcomely?

At this moment, Zheng Zhan also saw the numbers in everyone's hands, and his expression was naturally not good. After all, the Sun Moon Team was unlucky enough to be facing the Shrek Team now.

But he still had to announce, "The draw is complete. The Top 8 match matchups are as follows: First match, Shrek Academy vs. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy; Second match, Holy Spirit Sect vs. Ao Jian Sect; Third match, Tang Sect vs. Mingdu Soul Master Academy; Fourth match, Star Luo National Academy vs. Di Ao Academy."

"The first match will begin in ten minutes. Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy teams, please prepare yourselves."

After returning to Shrek's rest area, Zhou Huan's first words were, "Look at me, Captain! I'm so lucky! I'm practically blessed by the God of Luck!"

Everyone: "..."

Although no one present understood what "European Emperor" meant, it didn't stop them from seeing their captain's smug expression.

Only Zhou Fengchu asked timidly, "Captain, are we lucky to be facing the Sun Moon Team? The Star Luo Team Di Ao Academy are the ones with incredible luck, they both picked the weakest opponents."

Hearing this, Zhou Huan glanced at Zhou Fengchu speechlessly and said, "What's the point of two newbies fighting each other? If we're going to fight, we should pick a worthy opponent. I think the Sun Moon Team is pretty good. I have quite a connection with Xiao Hongchen."

Zhou Fengchu opened his mouth, but remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Brother Zhou, you're not going to spend several hours with him again, are you? If so, I'll go get some food first."

Zhou Huan curled her lip and said, "What kind of talk is that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

At this moment, the Lan twin sisters, who always had a very low profile in the team, said in unison, "We think you are."

While the Shrek team members were chatting and arguing amongst themselves, the atmosphere in the Sun Moon Team's rest area was extremely serious.

Looking at Xiao Hongchen's solemn Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen said softly, "Brother, how about I go first?"

However, Xiao Hongchen shook his head and said, "No, we should Shi Xing Shrek first and see how Shrek Academy arranges things. Our goal is to enter the Team Match. Facing Zhou Huan in the Individual Elimination Tournament would be too disadvantageous."

There was no way around it; having witnessed Zhou Huan's skills several times in the previous matches, even the most arrogant Xiao Hongchen wouldn't dare say he could defeat Zhou Huan.

For them, the Soul Engineer, Team Battle clearly offer a greater advantage.

Hearing what Xiao Hongchen said, Meng Hongchen's eyes trembled slightly. As her younger sister, she knew very well how proud her brother was, but now, facing Zhou Huan, he could only say such things. For a moment, she was filled with complicated emotions, and her romantic thoughts lessened considerably.

In the completely opposite atmosphere between the two teams, ten minutes passed quickly.

At this moment, the voice of Zheng Zhan Unbreakable Douluo, rang out again on the stage. "The first match of the Top 8 match, Shrek Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the first match of the Individual Elimination Tournament, is about to begin. Please send your representatives to the stage."

Immediately, Wen Xiaoshuai took the lead and went forward from Shrek's side.

On the other hand, the person who stepped onto the stage from the Sun Moon Team was a young man with broad shoulders and a tall stature.

After both sides had taken their positions, Zheng Zhan began to announce, "Both sides, state your names."

"Shrek, Wen Xiaoshuai."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Shi Xing."

"The match begins!"

As soon as Zheng Zhan finished speaking, the two of them immediately activated their Martial Soul.

It's obvious that Shi Xing is just a Soul King with five Soul Ring (two yellow and three purple), but as a regular member of the Sun Moon Team, Soul Ring Configuration has never been the most important thing in the Mingde Hall, because he is also a powerful Level Five Soul Engineer.

Shi Xing did not attack Wen Xiaoshuai directly. Instead, while activating his Martial Soul, the wings of his Flying Soul Tool unfolded behind him, and in an instant, he flew into the sky.

He knew that Wen Xiaoshuai was a Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor with a bear-type Martial Soul, and that he absolutely could not engage in close combat or head-on confrontation with such an opponent.

Therefore, after getting away from Wen Xiaoshuai, Shi Xing's Soul Power suddenly condensed, and his wings on the back suddenly flashed with white light, while shooting out four beams of white light towards Wen Xiaoshuai on the ground!

Those were four High-Explosive Bullets!

Upon seeing this, Wen Xiaoshuai, who was already possessed by the Earth Battle Bear Martial Soul, roared wildly. His left hand instantly swelled up a lot, and at the same time, a huge bear paw made of Soul Power, three or four meters wide, suddenly appeared and grabbed fiercely at the four High-Explosive Bullets!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two of the High-Explosive Bullet bombs exploded in mid-air, while the remaining High-Explosive Bullet were caught by the giant bear paw.

Shi Xing's eyes widened in surprise!

But that wasn't all. Wen Xiaoshuai smiled, swung his paw with great force, and two High-Explosive Bullet changed direction and smashed into Shi Xing high in the sky!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two more violent explosions rang out.

Above the smoke-filled arena, a tall figure flew out, looking quite disheveled, but without any apparent injuries.

He was none other than Shi Xing, who had just narrowly escaped the High-Explosive Bullet explosion.

At this Shi Xing, Shi Xing looked down at Wen Xiaoshuai with a solemn expression. He did not expect that the other party's bear claws could even catch High-Explosive Bullet and throw them back. Fortunately, the wings of his Flying Soul Tool were specially made and fast enough, otherwise, he would have really been injured.

Meanwhile, Wen Xiaoshuai on the ground wasn't in a hurry. He calmly watched Shi Xing, thinking, "You can fly, right? Just stay up there and keep flying. I'm at peak condition right now. Do you think you can outlast me?"
