A Fierce Elimination Round, Without Forgetting the Real Business

"Unnecessary."

"There are only a few Team we need to watch out for. If we run into them, I'll step in and cover for you."

When Gu Yunxiao said this, he didn't lower his voice at all, and the other Team members in the rest area all changed their expressions.

Arrogant! How incredibly arrogant!

But they just happen to have the right to be arrogant!

Jiang Nannan and the other six had a maximum cultivation level of 47 Soul Ancestor, Gu Yunxiao's would only be higher, with Soul King cultivation being a certainty.

The most terrifying thing is that Gu Yunxiao is said to be extremely powerful, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is as good as an entire Team.

Subsequently, led by Gu Yunxiao, Jiang Nannan and the other six left together, disappearing from the sight of the audience.

"The Dragon God Team Team more than just Gu Yunxiao as a genius; the other seven members also possess terrifying talent."

On the city wall, Xu Jiawei sighed.

Compared to all the other participating teams, Jiang Nannan and her group's cultivation levels were nothing special and not particularly outstanding.

However, their advantage lies in their young age; they should have been in the reserve team, but they performed better than most of the regular teams.

Five years, and another five years, Jiang Nannan six companions will inevitably become even more terrifying.

Five years later, in the Soul Fighting Tournament, the Dragon God Team will definitely be an even more terrifying force Shrek Team.

Xu Jiawei wasn't the only one who noticed this; the team leaders from the other Team also noticed it, and their expressions became extremely serious.

"This should have been Shrek's glory," Wang Yan, looking dejected.

In the Dragon God Team, apart from Nan Qiuqiu, the other seven members were supposed to be monsters from the Shrek Academy and would be the reserve team for this year.

As a result, they all forgot about Shrek's glory and went off to work on their own.

Thinking about the Dragon God Team and then about his own reserve team, Wang Yan felt increasingly uncertain. If they were to face them, defeat would be inevitable.

"However, the fact that Tang Ya's Martial Soul has become Evil Martial Soul... must be reported to the academy as soon as possible!" Wang Yan thought of Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass.

Star Emperor Hotel.

To celebrate Jiang Nannan and her group's initial victory, Gu Yunxiao splurgeed again, ordering a huge table of delicious food.

Even the cheapest dish costs over a hundred Gold Soul Coin.

The knockout stage will continue for another three days.

Gu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Don't slack off too much during these three days. After all, the teams that have made it to the second Round-Robin Tournament are all quite strong."

"Um."

Jiang Nannan and the other six nodded.

As they ate and chatted, Gu Yunxiao took the opportunity to explain the rules of the competition to the seven people.

"After the knockout stage, 67 Team will advance to the Round-Robin Tournament, divided into eight groups. Three groups will have nine Team each, and the remaining five groups will have eight Team each."

We don't know which group we'll be assigned to yet; it might be eight games, or it might only be seven.

"Winning a match earns two points. After the Round-Robin Tournament, the top two Team from each group will advance to the round of 16."

"The Round-Robin Tournament includes individual matches, team matches, and Two-Two-Three Battle Format, with the match format determined by a draw."

"Although I will cover for you, the main responsibility still lies with you..."

After listening to Gu Yunxiao explain the rules, the seven people nodded, indicating that they understood.

night.

The day is drawing to a close.

The first day of the knockout stage has ended, and the competition was extremely fierce. Apart from a few strong Team, the other Team were giving it their all.

After all, if you lose in the knockout stage, there's no point in talking about the subsequent Round-Robin Tournament or the finals.

Driven by this relentless drive, some people eventually lost control, resulting in multiple injuries, and even some deaths due to the severity of their injuries.

The competition was real; fists and feet have no eyes.

Even with referees present, accidents are still inevitable.

"Yunxiao, I don't want it anymore..."

On the soft, large bed, Jiang Nannan lay on Gu Yunxiao's body, fast asleep, but muttering something under her breath.

For her, neither cultivation nor competition was as tiring as doing bad things with Gu Yunxiao.

"That girl."

Gu Yunxiao shook his head and smiled, then slowly released Jiang Nannan's delicate body, letting her nestle in the warm quilt to rest.

He got up, grabbed a robe from the side, draped it over his shoulders, went to the French windows, opened a crack, and looked at Star Luo City in the night.

"Zi JI, Bi Ji."

Gu Yunxiao called out softly.

"Young Master."

Two women immediately appeared, standing on either side of Gu Yunxiao behind him. One offered him hot tea, and the other massaged his shoulders.

Gu Yunxiao took the hot tea, sipped it, and asked, "How's the situation today? Have you found any promising talents for the Dragon God Hall?"

Participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament is one thing, but making a name for the Dragon God Hall is another.

However, he didn't forget the important matter.

Geniuses with Dragon Clan Martial Soul, the Dragon God Hall is your destiny.

"Young Master, we played a total of twenty-two matches today. I discovered that eighteen people possess Dragon Clan Martial Soul, the strongest approaching True Dragon Bloodline, and the weakest barely possessing Earth Dragon Bloodline..."

Zi JI reported the details word by word, recounting the information about those people one by one. They were mostly regular members of various major Team, with some being reserve team members.

"Eighteen, that's a decent number."

"These people are yours to manage covertly, just like the Hidden Agent from the Shrek Academy, across various forces throughout the continent."

Gu Yunxiao nodded and handed Zi JI a Storage Ring containing over a thousand portions of Ordinary Dragon Blood that he had prepared.

"Yes, Young Master." Zi JI replied with a smile and disappeared.

She wasn't afraid of Gu Yunxiao asking her to do things; she was afraid of Gu Yunxiao not letting her do them.

Gu Yunxiao entrusted her with this task, which clearly showed his great trust in her; she absolutely could not let Gu Yunxiao down.

"Bi Ji, how's the matter I asked you to handle?" Gu Yunxiao continued to ask.

"Young Master, it went smoothly."

Bi Ji nodded and smiled gently, "The Star Luo Empire has three Soul Beast Forest. I visited the closest one today."

"There are two Subdragon inside, one a hundred years old and the other a Thousand-Year. I have already given them the Dragon Blood bestowed by the Young Master."

"This Soul Beast Forest is of medium size, and there are two other forests, one large and one small, which should also contain a few Soul Beast with the Dragon Clan bloodlines."

"..."

Gu Yunxiao remained silent for a long while before saying, "The scope can be expanded a bit more; don't let any of them escape, as long as they have even a trace of the Dragon Clan blood."

"For example, even a trace of Earth Dragon blood can be cultivated."

Although the maximum effect of these creatures consuming Dragon Blood is to replenish the Earth Dragon's bloodline, we should first increase the quantity before considering the quality.

Moreover, he has as much Ordinary Dragon Blood as he wants.

"If that's the case, then quite a few Soul Beast meet the requirements," Bi Ji said.

"Go and do it."

Gu Yunxiao also handed Bi Ji a Storage Ring, saying, "There are over a thousand portions of Ordinary Dragon Blood inside. Ask me for more when you've used them up."

"Yes, Young Master."

Bi Ji nodded in agreement and disappeared.

After standing in front of the French windows for a while, Gu Yunxiao left the room and went to the living room, preparing to improve his cultivation through the Ice Devouring Technique.

The living room was dimly lit, with only one lamp emitting a faint, bright yellow light.

Gu Yunxiao sat cross-legged and summoned the Extreme Dust Ice Bow.
