Chapter 495 The first battle at Shrek Academy!

The first knockout round of the competition ended two days later. Half of the 167 participating teams were directly eliminated, and the Mingyue Hotel immediately seemed much emptyer.

All the teams that passed the first round of the competition also had their housing adjusted. The Noumenon Sect was moved to a room on the third floor, which was much more spacious than the second floor.

And because they passed the first round of elimination, when they proposed to add a room, they also got the approval of the organizing committee to add a special room for the eldest lady Nan Qiuqiu.

After all, this is the capital of Ming Dynasty. The relationship between the Noumenon Sect and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and even the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire was very good, and the organizing committee also knew this.

There were one hundred and sixty-seven participating teams, and now there were only eighty-four teams left, among which Shrek Academy did not appear in the first round. In the past few days, Huo Yuhao's Noumenon Sect has not seen anyone from the Shrek Academy representative team. Zhou Sichen, Xie Huanyue and others seemed to have disappeared.

"In the second round, Shrek Academy will be playing in the first game today." Ning Tian said to Huo Yuhao.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded. "I went to Teacher Kong's place before. Ji Juechen was injured, and even the Tianwai Meteor Iron Sword was destroyed."

"Ah?!" Ning Tian said in surprise. "I heard that Ji Juechen has reached the Contra level. Coupled with his sword skills, who can destroy his sword?"

Ji Juechen loved his sword as much as his life. There was actually no difference between destroying his sword and killing him.

"I felt some strange aura on him. There was an energy that could continuously swallow up the soul power in his body, and there was also an abyss aura infecting his body." Huo Yuhao said softly. "If he hadn't already reached the threshold of the Titled Douluo level and created a technique of his own, even I might not have been able to save him in time."

"Ning Tian, ​​the situation is getting more and more interesting now. I will find out the people behind these one by one, and then let them all gather together to destroy them in one fell swoop."

The knockout rounds entered the second round. Because the first round took too long, there was no rest time in the second round. After the game ended yesterday, the second round of draws was held.

The Noumenon Sect's game will be held tomorrow, and Shrek Academy will take the lead today. As the legendary team in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, I don’t know how many people are waiting to watch their game.

In such a difficult situation last time, Shrek Academy was able to create miracles and win the final championship. Can they do it this time? No one knows the answer. The participation of the sect has greatly increased the visibility of this competition, but it has also greatly increased the suspense.

After the first round of competition, fifty-six of the remaining eighty-four teams were from sects, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total. One can imagine how powerful the sect is. However, some strong teams from established academies have also qualified, such as Star Luo Royal Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, etc.

Entering the rest area of ​​the competition venue again, the entire rest area suddenly became empty and the seats were rearranged.

The Noumenon Sect, which received a perfect score of twelve points in the first round, was directly introduced to the pergola area. Of course, from the perspective of the organizing committee, this is called the VIP rest area, and only the strongest teams can rest here.

"The second round of the knockout round is about to begin, please be quiet. The champion of the previous competition, or the Shrek Academy team that has won the championship for many years, will appear in the first game of today's competition."

The people of the Sun and Moon Empire didn't have much of a good impression of Shrek Academy. In previous competitions, it was under the suppression of Shrek Academy that the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy could only be the second best in ten thousand years.

As soon as I heard the words Shrek Academy. There were a lot of boos in the audience area.

Entering the VIP lounge area, Huo Yuhao could directly see a lot more things. Although the Noumenon Sect was able to enter here with good results in the last round of competition, it can only sit on the edge.

The Shrek Academy team was in the middle of the VIP lounge area. Next to them were powerful opponents such as the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and the Holy Spirit Sect.

Fan Yu, who was leading the team, was sitting on a chair at the front of the Shrek Academy representative team. Huo Yuhao found that Zhou Sichen, Xie Huanyue, Cao Jinxuan and others sitting behind him had strange expressions on their faces.

And based on Huo Yuhao's previous performance, naturally many people are observing him. But even a strong man like Fan Yu, who has now reached the level of Titled Douluo, seemed to be separated by a layer of fog when he looked at Huo Yuhao, unable to see clearly, or perhaps unable to remember his true appearance. They couldn't help but feel... Extremely surprised.

"The second round of the knockout round, the first game, the Shrek Academy team faced off against the Tianjia Sect. Both sides selected players to enter the waiting area." The voice from the podium announced the official start of the second round.

The two sides entered the waiting area, and as expected, the Shrek Academy players were: Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Xie Huanyue, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Huang Chutian, and Cui Yajie.

Tianjia Sect is not in the VIP rest area, they are still in the rest area outside. When entering the field, it was obvious that the members of the Tianjia Sect were a little nervous.

The shadow of a famous tree, Shrek Academy's great reputation, is built bit by bit based on strength. Tianjia Sect's luck in drawing lots was really bad. After passing the first round, they met Shrek Academy in the second knockout round.

But being able to fight against Shrek Academy is also a good opportunity for them, at least they can feel the strength and fighting style of the No. 1 Academy in the mainland.

All seven players from both sides entered the waiting area, and the referee on the field loudly said: "In the individual elimination round, the first player from both sides will appear."

Under the spotlight, a sturdy young man from the Tianjia Sect took the lead in jumping onto the competition stage. On the Shrek Academy side, the captain Zhou Sichen took the stage.

Both sides saluted each other in front of the referee.

"Shrek Academy, Zhou Sichen."

"Tianjia Sect, Han Yu."

The referee briefly explained the rules of the game as usual, and emphasized that he was not allowed to deliberately kill his opponent, otherwise he would be awarded a loss. Then the two were asked to step back and prepare for the game. Zhou Sichen did not use the soul guide this time, but directly released his martial soul.

The thick book is hanging in mid-air. Compared with the original, the light emitted by the book is obviously much stronger. Two yellow, two purple and one black, five soul rings are beating up and down around the book.

Zhou Sixen is now at the level of a five-ring soul king, but there are two soul emperors, Xie Huanyue and Cao Jinxuan, in the Shrek Academy team.

It can only be said that today's Shrek Academy has completely become a human society. Although Zhou Sichen is not the most powerful in combat, as Fan Yu's disciple, his status is definitely the highest.

However, the young man from Tianjia Sect was not in a hurry to move forward. Han Yu looked very calm and also released his martial spirit, two yellow, two purple and one black. It turns out that like Zhou Sichen, he is also the best soul ring ratio at the soul king level.

Pieces of pitch-black hexagonal armor shot out from his body quickly, and then condensed in front of him, turning into a hexagonal shield. The shield is thick, with hexagonal armor plates evenly distributed on it, making it look very regular.

After the martial soul was released, Han Yu took a big step and rushed towards Zhou Sichen, whose momentum was increasing.

The Tianjia Sect is a family sect. All the members of the sect are descendants of the Tianjia Sect and have almost the same martial spirit, which is the Tianjia Shield.

Zhou Sichen quickly retreated while releasing the treasure book. Although he is considered an attack-type battle soul master, the route he takes is summoning.

His treasured martial soul is very special. When acquiring the soul ring, the killed soul beast can be directly sealed in the treasured book. Although only one soul skill of the soul beast can be obtained, the basic attributes of the soul beast are still there when it is summoned. This is the advantage of the treasured martial soul.

There are only a few summoning and attack-type war soul masters like him, and the book is the best among them.

Han Yu was extremely fast, but Zhou Sichen was not slow either. He stepped back quickly, the book in his hand was already open, and the first soul ring on his body lit up.
A yellow light suddenly appeared, falling from the book to the ground in front of him, and a giant bear blocked Han Yu's way. It was Zhou Sichen's first soul skill, summoning the Earth Bear.

Han Yu's body was still rushing forward. After the bear of the earth appeared, he immediately raised a pair of generous bear paws and then slapped it downwards heavily.
Zhou Sichen didn't ask him to shoot Han Yu. He knew very well that with Han Yu's flexibility and the Earth Bear, which was only his first soul skill, it would be impossible to hit him. What he wanted was to slow down Han Yu's attack. travel speed
The Earth Bear slapped its paws on the ground, causing a roar and a strong earthquake wave spreading in the direction of Han Yu.
At the same time that the pair of bear paws hit the ground, Han Yu jumped up. In terms of combat experience, he was definitely not bad for being born in a sect.

There was a violent roar and explosion, and Han Yu stepped back. The first and second soul rings on his body lit up one after another, and a mirror-like effect appeared on the surface of the sky armor shield.

The seismic wave bombarded it, and along with the strange fluctuations of the armor, it was actually reflected into many small ripples, which instantly resolved most of the impact.

At the same time, the armor shield suddenly shook that day, and sixteen hexagonal armor plates suddenly flew out and swept towards Zhou Sichen. The edges of each armor plate were very sharp blades.

In defense and counterattack, Han Yu looked very calm in front of the powerful Zhou Sichen, both in terms of strength and psychological quality.

Zhou Sichen was not idle either. When the Earth Bear was activated, his second, third, and fourth soul rings also shone alternately.

Summoning the Flame Demon Tiger, Summoning the Forest of Thorns, and Summoning the Netherworld Python, the three soul skills were released almost in no particular order.

Zhou Sichen's summoning soul skill also has its own problems, that is, a soul skill can only be released once at the same time. Like the Earth Bear, it can only exist one at a time and cannot be summoned endlessly. It can only be released again after the summoned object dies.

The Flame Demon Tiger roared, and a huge fireball erupted from its mouth and bombarded Han Yu in the air, while Zhou Sichen disappeared into the forest of thorns.
His Forest of Thorns is a quite remarkable soul skill, formulated precisely for his own characteristics of summoning a fighting soul master. After the Forest of Thorns appears, it will continue to grow immediately. Of course, its growth will also consume Zhou Sichen's soul power.

In just a short time, the forest of thorns had spread to a diameter of twenty meters, which was quite a huge area. These thorns grow extremely fast and are as tall as a person. The spikes on it swept towards Han Yu like a blanket of overwhelming force, and some thorny branches swept upward. Seeing that, as long as Han Yu dared to get close, he would immediately attack him.
With the protection of the Forest of Thorns, Zhou Sichen was nowhere to be seen. His meaning was obvious. He did not want to fight Han Yu head-on, but wanted to consume Han Yu's condition as much as possible.

This is a personal knockout competition. The winner has to keep fighting, but the soul master's cultivation is limited. As the captain, Zhou Sichen certainly cannot step down after defeating just one person. He is already ready for the next battle.

Fan Yu looked on and nodded repeatedly. Zhou Sichen was a student with a very clear mind and used his advantages as much as possible. You are not afraid of spending your soul power. The key is to make your opponent consume soul power along with you, and the amount must be much more than your own.

Han Yu's armor shield's first soul skill that day was best at reflecting long-range energy attacks, just like dealing with previous seismic waves. But there are not many ways to deal with the real physical attack of the thorn vines.

The third soul ring on his body lit up, and the sixteen armor plates that Han Yufei shot out suddenly turned fiery red, as if they had been burned red by a fierce fire, and accelerated towards Zhou Sichen with a harsh roar. swept away.

The third soul skill, Meteor Fire Armor!
Those tough thorns will immediately retreat as soon as they encounter the flames on the armor. Under the cutting of the armor, Han Yu rushed into the thorn bush like a wheat harvester. He saw thorns flying everywhere where he passed, and fiery red flames began to spread among the thorns, rushing in with incomparable force.

Zhou Sichen was a little depressed at this time, this was attribute suppression! With a small gap in cultivation, the current Forest of Thorns is still too fragile to face Han Yu. Especially the flames burning on his armor are a natural and powerful restraint against thorns.

While Zhou Sichen was replenishing his thorns, he kept changing his position to prevent Han Yu from finding him. At the same time, the huge Netherworld Python also began to quietly look for opportunities to approach Han Yu.

Han Yu nodded secretly in his heart. If he didn't want to use higher-level soul skills, he really needed to spend so much time to defeat Zhou Sichen until his opponent's soul power was exhausted!
Consumption is consumption, I'm afraid that if you fail, the worst case scenario is that we all will step down together!
At this moment, an illusory light and shadow suddenly appeared from Han Yu's right rear side. The light and shadow itself was translucent, but quite huge. It immediately haunted Han Yu, and even his Wuhun Heavenly Armor Shield All wrapped up in it.

Zhou Sichen chuckled and immediately controlled a large number of thorns to entangle them, hoping to completely suppress Han Yu and force him to admit defeat.

However, at this time, Fan Yu gave Zhou Sichen a cold and stern look, which made Zhou Sichen's expression change.

"Kill him!" Fan Yu Senhan's words reached Zhou Sichen's ears at this time. (End of chapter)
