Chapter 730 Finals, Opening
"It's hard to imagine that there is such a past between the Pope of the Spirit Hall and Yu Xiaogang."
Rather than the information about the twin martial spirits, Dugu Bo was more surprised by this secret affair.
Because the current Pope, Bibi Dong, has geniusly solved the problem that twin spirits cannot be cultivated at the same time, and has become the strongest Pope in the history of the Spirit Hall.
Such a person is at the top even among the group of Titled Douluo.
In comparison, Yu Xiaogang seems too dim. When the two of them are put together, they will be directly drowned out by Bibi Dong's brilliance.
It was precisely because the gap between the two was so huge that Dugu Bo found it even more unbelievable.
But when he thought of Yu Xiaogang walking into the Pope's Palace and walking out of the Pope's Palace, he couldn't help but believe it.
Quan Yi expressed his understanding of Dugu Bo's point of view, but this incident did not have much impact on him.
"What's so strange about this? Everyone has been young before."
Such old-fashioned words coming out of Quan Yi's mouth gave people an extremely strange feeling.
But it is indeed as Quan Yi said, Dugu Bo himself was also young once, and he did do a lot of ridiculous things while he was young.
When he thought of this, he felt that he had become too realistic as he grew older.
This is not to say that being realistic is bad, but sometimes he would miss his reckless yet energetic youth.
Dugu Bo patted Quan Yi's shoulder and rolled his eyes, saying, "You act more knowledgeable than me, but sometimes I really wonder if there is an old man older than me living in your heart."
Quan Yi slapped away the relentless hand and said unhappily, "How can it be so exaggerated? Besides, what does this have to do with age? Don't restrict yourself."
Dugu Bo smiled and said jokingly, "You still say you are not an old man, but your words have already revealed your age.
Uh, that’s not right. Every time you cast an illusion now, it will take hundreds or even thousands of times longer.
If we really go by the age of the soul, I may not be younger than you."
Hearing the topic of age, Huo Wu raised her eyebrows and immediately reminded: "Hey, Senior Dugu, why did you drag me into this? I'm not even twenty years old yet, how come I'm already an old man."
Seeing Huo Wu was somewhat dissatisfied, Dugu Bo immediately raised his hands in surrender and quickly apologized.
At this time, Quan Yi pulled Huo Wu's arm, borrowed Huo Wu's remaining power, and said, "Okay, Senior, it was just a slip of the tongue, let's forgive him."
Quan Yi's hypocritical plea almost made Dugu Bo so angry that he vomited blood, but because he didn't dare to provoke Huo Wu, he could only swallow the blood again.
"Haha, it's my fault"
After hearing this, Quan Yi no longer gave Dugu Bo a chance to reply.
“Okay, let’s stop here for today. Now that we have shared the information, it’s time for us to go back.
Next, I will continue to ask you to be on guard outside the city."
After leaving these words, Quan Yi and Huo Wu sank directly into the shadows and disappeared on the spot, leaving Dugu Bo to eat the wind and drink the dew in the woods.
The next moment after disappearing, the figures of Quan Yi and Huo Wu instantly replaced the real phantom left in the room.
Before I knew it, the sun began to set slowly in the west, but the glow of the sunset had not yet dissipated from the house.
Instead, the oblique sunlight casts longer and larger shadows inside the house.
The two of them used these shadows to teleport back.
After returning to the house, the two began to summarize the intelligence they had gained and thought about what value this intelligence could bring to them.
After their summary, they found that this information could not provide them with core information about the internal affairs of the Spirit Hall.
After all, Dugu Bo could only conduct long-distance reconnaissance far outside the city, and he could not even see the scenes inside the Pope's Palace.
Like this time, knowing Bibi Dong's past is already very remarkable.
"It seems that the real intelligence still needs to penetrate into the inner Yueguan, and the ghosts conveyed it to us."
Quan Yi came to the following conclusion and decided to reduce his time outside as much as possible during the competition.
During this time in Wuhun City, Quan Yi would not be idle. He would always activate his purely physical vibration perception to monitor every move in the city.
He would not even let go of the two palaces on the hill.
Unlike the Purple Gold Dragon Eyes, vibration perception is the ability to perceive things by receiving vibrations from the outside world.
With this ability, there is no possibility of being detected by others.
Moreover, talking, walking, even if they are hiding in a towering palace, as long as any of your actions causes vibration, Quan Yi can receive it.
When it comes to intelligence gathering, Quan Yi's ability can be said to be top-notch.
After formulating the strategy, Quan Yi and Huo Wu were also informed of the announcement from the Spirit Hall.
According to their arrangement, the final will be held in three days.
These three days are a time for students who are tired from traveling to rest and adjust.
Regarding the finals format, in addition to the well-known elimination system, it is also rich in some complex rules.
Because it is an elimination tournament, the finals only have five rounds.
Among them, in addition to the thirty teams that passed the qualifying round, the participating academies also have three well-known seed teams from the Spirit Hall and the two empires who will participate in the competition together.
In the first round, the three seeded teams here will be directly given a bye, and the remaining thirty teams will participate in the knockout rounds.
In the second round, among all the 18 qualified teams, the team that won the first place in the qualifying matches of the two empire divisions will have a bye.
The remaining sixteen teams will then compete in a knockout round.
The Chihuo Academy where Quan Yi is located is the first place in the promotion competition, so after winning the first round, they will directly advance to the third round and will have a whole day of rest.
In the third round, the second place in the qualifying round will receive a bye.
The remaining eight teams will compete to decide four spots.
In the fourth round, the byes disappeared and only three of the six teams advanced to the final fifth round.
Since the byes are limited and ranked according to the ranking in the qualifying round, there is a possibility that he will be eliminated prematurely before the byes.
It’s the last round, the fifth round.
The three teams that advance will have an individual round-robin match like the promotion match to determine the strongest team.
This team will directly advance to the final championship game.
The two defeated teams will engage in a team battle to determine one team to challenge the team that wins first.
In the end, the championship will be decided between these two teams.
After learning the specific rules of the competition, the other contestants spent the next three days gathering their strength and actively preparing for the competition.
Only Quan Yi and Huo Wu visited all the shops in Wuhun City during these three days. If you didn't know them, you would think they were tourists.
Unfortunately, leisurely time is always short.
Three days later, the finals arrived as scheduled.
