The next morning.
Mingdu Tournament Arena.
The lottery ceremony for Round-Robin Tournament was held backstage.
After three rounds of Knockout Round screening, none of the remaining teams were weak.
The members of each team sat in their own rest area, waiting for the results of the group draw, and at the same time sizing up their opponents. The air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.
Backstage.
The person who presided over the lottery was Vice President Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
He stood on the high platform, put his hand into the transparent lottery box, and crystal balls engraved with team names and numbers circulated in his palms.
"Everyone, the Round-Robin Tournament stage is about to begin. Thirty-two Team teams will be divided into four groups, with eight Team teams in each group playing single Round-Robin Tournament. The top two teams in each group will advance to the Top Eight finals."
"Now proceed to group drawing."
Crystal balls flew out of the box one by one and landed on the corresponding grouping board.
Every time one dropped, there would be a low murmur of discussion from the audience.
This group will also be synchronized to the big screen outside the arena.
Halfway through the drawing of lots, there was a lot of discussion.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the group board number Group One.
Abyss Cult, Shrek Academy, Snow Demon Sect, Holy Spirit Sect, Mingyu Sect, Star Luo National Academy, Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy, Dio Academy.
"This Group One really shines with stars..."
"Which talent divided it? Didn't Shrek just form a feud with Abyss Cult? Isn't this looking for excitement?"
"Abyss Cult, Shrek, Snow Demon Sect, Holy Spirit Sect, they are all tough!"
"Eight teams Team compete for two qualifying spots. This group is too tragic."
"Abyss Cult will definitely occupy one spot, and the remaining seven teams will grab the other one..."
"Tsk tsk."
Soon, someone discovered the clue.
"Wait a minute, look at the list of the third group."
Everyone turned to look at the grouping board of the third group.
Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Heavenly Dragon Sect, Dou Ling Royal Academy...
Except for the Heavenly Dragon Sect, it can be said that there is no strong team.
"The third group was too easy..."
"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy Isn't this how you qualify while lying down?"
"Organizing Committee did something wrong, right?"
"You fart! We Sun Moon are destined by fate, we are just lucky!"
Lu Yuan was sitting on the sofa, looking at the comparison between the first Group One and the third group, his brows slightly raised.
He raised his head and looked at the senior executives of Sun Moon on the high platform.
A group of old men are competing against each other, each one worse than the other!
Lu Yuan suddenly wondered if he should give Xu Tianran some extra work?
I didn't cause any trouble for Xu Tianran, I always felt that I made him have a very comfortable life!
Does he remember He Caitou or Xu Tianran's cousin?
Do you want to break the news to him?
Hehe~
On the high platform.
Jing Hongchen touched his chin.
Of course he knew why the draw results for the third group were so easy.
Xu Tianran has already promised to ensure the victory of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Organizing Committee also executed it very well.
It's just that the result is too obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye will know there's something wrong at a glance.
Jing Hongchen sighed in his heart.
Your Highness, Your Highness, the cleaner you do this kind of thing, the less likely it will arouse suspicion. Now, isn't it clear that people are gossiping?
However, he glanced at the list number Group One.
Abyss Cult, Shrek, Snow Demon Sect, Holy Spirit Sect, Star Luo National Academy...
All crowded into the same group.
He put all Sun Moon Academy's competitors into the same group and let them consume each other.
This method is indeed clever.
The only variable is Lu Yuan.
What will he do?
Jing Hongchen looked at the black figure under the stage.
Lu Yuan was sitting on the sofa, hugging Xiao Xiao, with a malicious smile on his face.
Definitely didn't hold in the fart well.
Jing Hongchen felt inexplicably uneasy. Could this guy be thinking about his precious granddaughter again?
Hum! Smelly yellow hair!
After the group list was announced, the draw for the first round of Round-Robin Tournament was also carried out.
Representatives of each team take the stage in turn to draw their opponents.
Gu Qiu'er takes the stage on behalf of Abyss Cult.
She took out the lottery from the lottery box and glanced down, with no expression on her face.
Star Luo National Academy.
Star Luo National Academy Captain Xu Jiujiu, her pale golden jersey makes her look full of heroism.
But when she saw the results of the lottery, her whole body froze and her eyes darkened.
As the top college of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo National Academy has a profound foundation and strong strength.
In any competition, they are strong contenders for the finals!
A strong contender for the finals!
But this time, they were not only in the same class as Abyss Cult but Group One.
In the first round, I drew Abyss Cult.
Xu Jiujiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, and silently clenched his fists.
Forget it, if you can't beat it, just admit defeat.
This is something she learned many years ago.
Big sister can bend and stretch, it's no big deal!
"Your Highness?"
The team member next to me came over and asked, "What should we... do?"
Xu Jiujiu was silent for two and a half seconds.
"Please remember, I will make the following deployment adjustments!"
The six team members looked at their young master with curiosity and listened attentively, thinking that she really had some clever trick that could turn the tide.
"We personally Knockout Round will admit defeat immediately!"
"???"
Everyone looked at Xu Jiujiu dumbfounded, thinking they had heard wrong.
Hasn't Her Royal Highness always wanted to be strong? Why did she just admit defeat?
"Judging from Abyss Cult's style, Team Competition basically plays alone. If Lu Yuan hadn't played, then we would have had a chance!"
"We personally Knockout Round will admit defeat directly and save our strength to deal with Team Competition. I will use Star's Guardian to delay time!"
"At that time, four people will assist me, and the remaining two will be responsible for building the high-level Soul Cannon to charge up and strive for a one-hit kill!"
Through previous competitions, Xu Jiujiu also learned a lesson.
Although the high-end Soul Cannon that can be brought to the arena is powerful, its shortcomings are also obvious. It not only requires time to build, but also requires energy storage.
But these are almost no problems for Star Luo National Team!
Her Martial Soul Star Crown's Fourth Soul Skill Star's Guardian is a powerful range defense Soul Skill with isolated attributes, which can form a group defense barrier. Combined with Soul Tool, it can achieve an almost absolute defense effect.
With someone assisting her, it won't be a problem to block the attack of one of Gu Qiu'er or Xiao Xiao for a period of time.
Star Luo National Academy Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard Xu Jiujiu's arrangement.
After a few seconds of silence, one of the team members nodded first.
"Your Highness the Princess is wise!"
"Yes, no matter how strong Abyss Cult is, can one person withstand the bombardment of high-level Soul Cannon?"
"Her Royal Highness is indeed very cunning!"
"Your Highness is truly a god!"
The more they talked about it, the more they felt that the plan was flawless. The tension on their faces faded a lot, and some even showed expressions of eagerness to give it a try.
Xu Jiujiu looked at their appearance and sighed inwardly.
She always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't put her finger on it for the moment.
Forget it.
The plan has been made, let's take it one step at a time.
