Chapter 117 Luck is also a form of strength

Three days passed quietly, and the much-anticipated finals arrived.

A total of thirty-three teams participated in the finals. In addition to the thirty teams that qualified from the two empires, there were also three teams that were admitted.

And the soul master colleges who can stand here are all the elites among the elites.

Different from the qualifiers and promotion rounds, the finals process is very compact, with only five rounds in total. There is only one day of rest and adjustment time between each round, and only three days of rest and adjustment time before the final round.

Therefore, the intensity of the competition is far beyond imagination.

In the first round, three seeded teams received byes, and the remaining 30 teams drew lots to compete, with the winner advancing to the next round.

In the second round, the top two teams in the two major divisions will have a bye, and the remaining 16 teams will compete for eight promotion spots.

By analogy, there will be no byes until the fourth round, and six teams will compete to select three winning teams to enter the final round of the finals.

If you want to get good results, there is no luck, only strength!

"Let's go!"

Lin Chuan tightened his cuffs and glanced at the girls in front of him. Their faces showed confidence and excitement, and they were obviously eager to face the upcoming finals.

Tianshui College will also shine in this elite competition!

Walking out of the hotel together, there were already many soul master school teams on the street.

On both sides of the street, there are soul masters sent by Wuhun Palace to ensure that the road to the competition venue is always smooth, so that some colleges will not be late.

Soon all participating teams arrived at the competition venue.

The Wuhun Hall is fully prepared and has a separate rest area specially built for each college, which surrounds the entire competition venue. At the same time, there is a VIP judging seat on the side near the Pope's Hall.

"Then I'll go up and draw lots first!"

"Dean Shui, you have to draw good lots for us!"

The girls rushed to speak, all sending good luck to Shui Lanxin with their words.

After a while, the lottery was over, and Shui Lanxin walked slowly back to the rest area with a weird smile on her face.

Shui Yue'er hurriedly came forward, "Dean, how's your luck? Who is our opponent in the first round?"

"Our opponent in the first round is Kamikaze Academy."

"ah?!"

The girls couldn't help but be stunned, obviously they didn't expect such bad luck, and it was hard work from the beginning.

However, they were not too worried. Shenfeng Academy was considered a strong echelon among all participating teams, but compared to their Tianshui Academy, it was still far inferior.

It's just that when it comes to fighting, it takes a lot of effort.

"It doesn't matter, it's just the Kamikaze Academy. We'll have to face each other sooner or later anyway!"

Shui Bing'er spoke coldly, her beautiful eyes shining with confidence.

Dugu Yan on the side also nodded slightly, "Bing'er is right, no matter who is drawn, it is the same. It is not us who should be worried, but Shenfeng Academy and the others. It is a pity that the overall strength of Shenfeng Academy this year is not bad. The result is Unfortunately they met us in the first round, it seems they can only stop here!”

Seeing how confident everyone was, Shui Lanxin nodded with satisfaction.

"It's a good thing to have confidence, but I'm afraid your idea of ​​competing against Kamikaze Academy will come to nothing."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shui Lanxin again.

The beautiful dean smiled and said, "Kamifeng Academy gave up on the finals and automatically forfeited, so we won the first round without a fight. At the same time, coupled with the results in the promotion round, we will have two consecutive byes."

"ah?!"

Except for Lin Chuan, everyone else in Tianshui College couldn't help but scream.

"Dean, why did Shenfeng Academy abstain from voting?" Xuewu looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

We have reached this stage of the finals. Even if it is impossible to win the final championship, we must at least give it a try. What's the point of running away from the battle?

Shui Lanxin smiled and didn't hide it.

"The situation is a bit complicated. In addition to Divine Wind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy also chose to abstain. However, the core members of both of their academies temporarily joined Thunder Academy and re-formed an all-soul sect team!"

"I'll go. Is this okay?"

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but complain loudly, "Joining other teams temporarily, is this definitely in compliance with the rules?"

Shui Lanxin shook her head, "Who knows? But since the organizers of the competition did not stop it, it is obviously in compliance with the rules, so in the next competition, Thunder Academy will be a strong opponent."

Of course, the so-called strong rival is based on the premise that Lin Chuan will not appear on the stage.

However, the strength of the Star Luo Empire division cannot be underestimated. Coupled with the behemoth of Wuhundian Academy, this elite competition is really lively.

"So we don't have to fight, we just walk to the top ten. This is so cool!"

Yu Hai smiled softly, her heart filled with surprise and excitement. Others had similar reactions.

Although there was another strong enemy among their opponents, even so, they were still full of confidence and defeated all participating teams and won the final victory.

"Well, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have two byes. Next, let's watch every game carefully and find out the strength of other colleges, so that if we encounter them in the future, it will be easier to deal with them."

Shui Lanxin gave a simple reminder and turned to look at Lin Chuan.

"Xiaochuan, in order to prevent accidents, you should also play in the next game!"

After Tianshui College had two byes, there were almost no weak opponents among the remaining opponents. Even though Tianshui College was considered the best among them, it was better to be cautious.

Lin Chuan naturally had no objection to this, but others suddenly became unhappy.

"Ah? If Ogawa plays, will there be room for us to play?"

"That's good," Lin Chuan said with a chuckle, "After I come on the field, I will pester the weakest opponent, and let them fight six against six. How about I take action after I'm really about to lose?"

"Okay!"

After a brief discussion, the tactics for the subsequent games have been formulated.

And Lin Chuan's appearance means that someone will not be able to participate in the competition. Plus Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, three people will be replaced.

Shui Lanxin's idea is to alternate between the third and fourth rounds.

It will depend on the situation. If we encounter a weak force, then Qiu Ruoshui will fight. If we encounter a strong enemy, it will naturally be Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan!

Faced with this arrangement, everyone had no objections.

Being able to achieve this step does not depend on the merit of any one person. In order to win the final victory, the girls are willing to make sacrifices.

When all teams are ready, the finals will officially begin.

Different from the qualifiers, the finals did not have the grand opening ceremony as imagined, and everything was kept simple.

Wuhundian just sent a cardinal to the stage to announce the start of the finals. At the same time, they also announced the lineup of players and byes.

With the Wuhundian referee's order, the first game began.

Lin Chuan was somewhat interested at first, but as he watched, he completely lost interest, and he didn't know who proposed the team competition.

Of course, there were some hiccups along the way. For example, after the Thunder Academy came on the scene, it directly caused other academies in the Tiandou Empire to explode.

Isn't it a fool's errand to combine the three major colleges into one?

Unfortunately, no matter how other colleges protested, it had no effect. Wuhun Palace showed a strong attitude, and in the end they had no choice but to accept it.

In the final analysis, the three major colleges did not commit any fouls, they just took advantage of loopholes in the rules.

But with the strong debut of Thunder College, one more favorite to win the championship among the thirty-three teams has made other colleges miserable.

However, none of this has much to do with Tianshui College.

While other colleges were suffering, they were still living quite comfortably, staying in the lounge area every day and watching others perform on stage.

The basic information about the two imperial academies has been initially grasped, but it is not ruled out that they may also hide their strength, but they have basically known their strong competitors.

Wuhun Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, and Thunder Academy.

As for the rest, they're all a little less interesting.

Under this fierce competition, the first two rounds of competition ended quickly, and the top ten of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition were announced.

After four full days of rest, Tianshui Academy finally faced its first opponent.

With the results of the lottery coming out, the opponents of Tianshui Academy have also been determined. Among the three seed teams, the one recommended by the Tiandou Empire is the Tiandou Royal Academy!

After learning this result, Lin Chuan had an extremely strange expression.

Unexpectedly, after poaching Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from Tiandou Royal Academy, they would meet in the finals and be about to send them out with their own hands.

To be honest, Lin Chuan himself was a little embarrassed.

"Sister Yan, do you want us to be gentler later?" Yu Hairou came forward and winked mischievously.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan chuckled and shook his head, "It's not necessary. Lingling and I have nothing to do with Tiandou Royal Academy anymore. Just do whatever you want. You just have to play your best. Come on!"

Since the opponent is the Royal Dou Team, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling do not plan to play.

After all, they are old friends with the members of the Royal Dou Team, and even though they are no longer in the same academy, they have no intention of fighting with them.

What's more, the current Royal Dou Team is not very strong, so just leave it to others.

"Don't worry, Sister Yan, we will definitely win!"

Shui Yue'er clenched her fists, her delicate and pretty face looking full of confidence.

"Please invite the contestants from both sides to appear!"

The off-field referee of Wuhundian came to the rest area to urge, and everyone stopped talking immediately.

"Get ready to go on stage. This is our Tianshui team's first match in the finals. We must play well, but there are many people watching!"

Shui Lanxin asked softly, and at the same time pointed at a short distance.

Although there are not many people coming to watch the battle, Wuhun Palace has prepared special soul guides in advance, which can project the situation on the scene to the Wuhun branch halls in major cities. Therefore, even if there are not many people at the scene, they can still There are not many people from all over the world who are paying attention to the game.

"Sisters, let's go!"

Shui Bing'er spoke coldly, but her words contained deep determination.

Lin Chuan, who was standing in the team, rolled his eyes angrily, but was unable to complain.

"Now, please invite the contestants from both sides to appear!"

Following the referee's order, Team Tianshui and Team Huangdou appeared one after another, but Lin Chuan fell to the end, with Shui Lanxin, Leng Man and Qin Shan standing beside him.

"Dean, does it have to be like this?"

"Of course. Since you don't want to dance, then just accompany Bing'er and the others. Stop talking nonsense. It's about to start. Don't let your guard down!"

Shui Lanxin urged softly, reaching out to touch her waist, and a guqin appeared in her hand.
