Chapter 50 The Start of the Round Robin and the Auction
Time passed quickly, and the three-day battle in the preliminary round passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the competition was fierce and bloody, but the Star Emperor Hotel was peaceful because at Wang Yan's request, in order to maintain Shrek's mystery and power, the Huo Guo Seven were asked not to go. Watch the game live.
In fact, it has been three days, and if you understand people, you will naturally understand.
Wang Yan is indeed not a good actor.
As for Zhou Huan and the others, Wang Yan didn't need to say anything, because he knew that Zhou Huan might know more than him, or that Wang Yan had always treated Zhou Huan as a mature-minded adult.
He couldn't help it. After knowing him for more than a year, Zhou Huan didn't feel like a teenager to him.
In fact, in the past three days, Zhou Huan did not take Wang Qingya and Wen Xiaoshuai to watch the game, but only went to see some more powerful teams, such as Star Luo National Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
It is a pity that the opponents in the preliminary round are all arranged very reasonably. It is basically a battle between strong and weak.
The main purpose of doing this is to kick out those really weak teams first. It is impossible for a weak team to enter the second round of the round robin, and it is even more impossible for those teams that can obviously reach the top 16 to fail in the preliminary round. On.
Therefore, under this situation, it is impossible for Zhou Huan to see the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy show its true strength.
On the fourth day of the Soul Master Competition, the preliminary round has ended, and Shrek has also ushered in the first game of the second round of group rounds.
When Zhou Huan, who was sitting in the Shrek rest area, saw that Beibei had drawn a one-on-one elimination match against Yunluo Academy, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
The opponents of the game have not changed, and the method of the game is exactly the same as the original plot.
So, is this really the case?
Zhou Huan suppressed the questions in his mind, because at this time Wang Yan had already begun to decide on tactics.
In line with the original plot trend, Xu Sanshi was the first to fight.
Wang Qingya on the side asked softly: "Zhou Huan, how many games do you think Senior Xu can win?"
Zhou Huan replied casually: "I should be able to wear seven in one."
Several people sitting next to him, including Huo Gua, Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan, all looked at Zhou Huan in disbelief.
Wang Qingya's eyes widened even more: "How is this possible? No matter how powerful Senior Xu is, he is only one soul sect. No matter how weak Yunluo Academy is, there are still three soul sects. Can he really defeat seven?"
Hearing this, Zhou Huan replied casually: "The reason is very simple. Senior Xu is relatively cheap."
Wang Qingya: "..." How do you ask me to refute this?
Xiao Xiao, Huo Gua and others: "..." Can a cheap person win the game?
Only Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up and she cast a kind look at Zhou Huan. Although she was completely unfamiliar with this junior, she seemed to have found a kindred spirit at this moment.
At this moment, Zhou Huan was shining in Jiang Nannan's eyes.
However, before everyone could think about it for long, Xu Sanshi on the stage just used a "Xuan Ming Substitution" to directly eliminate his first opponent - Ma Yingjun, who was not handsome at all.
The demeanor of being a bitch is clearly revealed.
Except for Beibei, everyone looked at Zhou Huan in disbelief: "Do you know that Senior Xu (Xu Sanshi) has this soul skill?"
Zhou Huan shook his head: "How could I know? I only know that it is said in the book that the most humble person is invincible! Senior Xu is obviously this kind of person."
In fact, Zhou Huan doesn't like Xu Sanshi who licks dogs. Although he succeeded in licking him in the end, who knows that Jiang Nannan accepted the reality and felt that it was like this anyway, and Xu Sanshi was indeed good to her, so let's go together The mentality of going on; or did you really fall in love with Xu Sanshi in the end?
This answer may not be clear to Jiang Nannan.
Zhou Huan has always felt that if you like someone, you can express it and pursue it, but if you continue to bother them shamelessly after others have clearly rejected you so many times, then it is not pursuit, but harassment.
Zhou Huan's view on relationships has always been like this, relatively simple.
Perhaps this is also the reason why he has been a single man in his previous life.
But that's not important. What's important is that he thinks people should have some bottom line.
Faced with Zhou Huan's explanation, Huo Gua and others were speechless. Is there any book in this world that could write such words as "The most humble person is invincible"? Don't bully us for not reading enough books!
If Zhou Huan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely complain: "You just don't study enough. How many times have you been to the library? A bunch of vulgar martial artists!"
While a few people were chatting, Xu Sanshi defeated another female soul sect from Yunluo College. Even the female soul sect named Shang Yue gritted her teeth at Xu Sanshi when she ended up, obviously very angry.
At this time, Wang Qingya and others had been conquered by Zhou Huan's "foresight".
Then, the captain of Yunluo Academy, Situ Yu, came on the stage. He decided to decide the outcome in a battle. If he lost, Yunluo Academy would admit defeat, but asked Xu Sanshi to fight him openly!
Xu Sanshi naturally agreed.
Zhou Huan shook his head as he saw this. Situ Yu was the strongest soul sect of the Yunluo team and a soul mentor. He was originally quite powerful.
It's a pity that his fighting method was wrong. He used the fortress fighting method, which was very powerful, but it was not suitable at all in personal battles. He just stood there and was beaten.
Especially against a top defensive soul master like Xu Sanshi.
The results can be imagined.
"The first round-robin match of the first group, Shrek wins!"
The referee's announcement also heralded that Shrek got off to a good start in the first round-robin match with just one soul sect!
The enthusiasm of the audience was even higher. Although they were not as shocked as in the preliminary round, the fact that a soul sect directly defeated a team still made them feel very excited. They were no wrong fans of Shrek.
Afterwards, the Shrek team once again left the field directly as usual, seemingly completely uninterested in other teams' games.
…
At night, in Xingluo City, in front of a seemingly ordinary auction house.
Yesterday, Xu Sanshi defeated Yunluo Academy by himself, which made Wang Yan feel very good.
So, after he gave some examples of emotion and reason, he finally brought Huo Gua and Zhou Huan here, preparing to participate in a special auction of soul tools.
Yes, Wang Dong didn't come. Unlike other Shrek students who despised and were arrogant towards soul tools, she inexplicably hated soul tools from the bottom of her heart.
Of course Zhou Huan knew the reason for this, it was nothing more than the micro-operation of a certain god king.
Walking into the auction house, what is displayed in front of everyone is a magnificent behemoth, which is completely different from its low-key and ordinary appearance.
This is actually the largest auction house in Star Luo City, Star Light Auction House, and the boss behind it is Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor.
However, tonight's auction for soul tools below level six is relatively low-grade, so the auction will not be held in the main hall, but in Auction Hall No. 12.
When Wang Yan and others put on masks, covered their faces, and sat at the auction site, the auction was about to begin.
"Good evening, distinguished guests, and welcome to the Starlight Auction House. I am the auctioneer Qingya." The cool-looking auctioneer's voice was very pleasant, "I hope that all distinguished guests can return home with a full load tonight."
After hearing the name of the auctioneer lady, Zhou Huan touched Wang Qingya's arm and said with a smile: "Qingya, look, there is a big Qingya there."
Then Zhou Huan had his majestic biceps twisted hard by Wang Qingya, and received four sharp looks from Xiao Xiao and Wang Qingya at the same time.
This made Zhou Huan feel very sad.
Really, don’t provoke an angry girl no matter what you do.
This was Zhou Huan's only thought at that moment.
It was also at this time that Wang Yan took a photo of the first auction item tonight, a level 3 soul guidance device called "Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray", and then handed it over to Huo Guai at He Caitou's suggestion.
"The following is the second lot, a third-level soul tool, the Qingyang Dagger." The auctioneer lady continued to work hard, "The biggest advantage of this soul tool is its stealth and explosiveness. It is definitely The first choice for agility and attack type soul masters."
"The auction price is one thousand two hundred gold soul coins, and the increase must not be less than fifty gold soul coins. The bidding begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yan raised his slap card.
There was nothing he could do, he brought someone here to scan the goods tonight. Anyway, the college would reimburse him, and this dagger suited Jiang Nannan very well.
"Okay, VIP No. 166 has already bid. Is there any VIP who wants to increase the price?"
"One thousand, two hundred gold soul coins, once!"
"Two hundred gold soul coins, twice!"
"Okay, VIP No. 132 will increase the price by 100 gold soul coins! Are there any other VIPs who will increase the price?"
"Very good, VIP No. 166 will increase the price by another two hundred gold soul coins! Is there anyone who wants to increase the price again?"
"Fifteen hundred gold soul coins, once!"
"Fifteen hundred gold soul coins, twice!"
"Fifteen hundred gold soul coins, three times!"
"Dealed! Congratulations to distinguished guest No. 166 for winning the second lot again!"
…
In this way, without spending any money or feeling distressed, Wang Yan took pictures of more than a dozen soul tools in a row. Basically, they were all level 3 to 5 soul tools, some of which were offensive and some were defensive. Some are sexual, and some are purely for the purpose of buying for research by the soul guidance department of the college.
Of course, Wang Yan bought so many soul tools, not for his own use, but most of them were allocated to the six people in the reserve team. Even Zhou Huan and the three of them each bought a third-level soul tool.
Wang Yan said that this was privately sponsored. After all, Zhou Huan and the others were not a reserve team and did not have the qualifications for the academy to pay for them.
Just when Wang Yan felt that he had gained enough tonight and was about to stop, Zhou Huan took action.
Not only did he take action, he also took down five level three soul tools in one go, and they were all offensive soul tools such as knives, swords, and daggers.
It blinded everyone's eyes, and they couldn't help but ask questions in their hearts. Is Zhou Huan going to collect?
However, only Wang Yan asked: "Zhou Huan, why did you buy so many offensive level three soul tools? You can't use so many by yourself?"
Zhou Huan just smiled: "Shanren has its own magic, Teacher Wang, you will know it in the future."
Well, having said that, Wang Yan couldn't ask any more questions, and it wasn't his money.
The last item before the end of the auction was naturally the soul-eating carving knife. To be precise, it was a carving knife made of the gold of living beings. Unfortunately, it was still missed by Huo Gua.
Zhou Huan had no choice. First of all, he didn't have the auction capital provided by the academy, and because no one bid against Huo Gua, he only spent 100,000 gold soul coins to win the carving knife.
He was poor. He had spent nearly 10,000 gold soul coins on five level three soul tools before, and he had borrowed them from Wen Xiaoshuai.
Secondly, Zhou Huan didn't have Electrolux to help him deal with the soul-eating hazard of the carving knife. Even if he got it now, he wouldn't be able to use it. Besides, with Huo Guai around, he would most likely not be able to get it.
So forget it, after all, Huo Gua can still take the blame.
After the auction ended, everyone returned to the Star Emperor Hotel because the second round-robin group match was about to begin tomorrow.
