Chapter 188 Semi-Finals
The sky was slightly bright.
Jiang Hai stopped practicing. With the improvement of his physical fitness, the backlash after borrowing the power was not something he could not bear. However, compared with normal circumstances, Jiang Hai's face was still a little pale.
After nodding to Xue Linglong, Xue Linglong also walked into the bronze coffin. Xingluo City has many Titled Douluo, and Titled Douluo can also destroy Xue Linglong's real body. Only by hiding in the world-suppressing bronze coffin, with the spirit of martial arts isolating the breath, Xue Linglong will not be discovered.
After washing and supplementing breakfast, everyone came to the viewing area on Xingluo Square.
The viewing area has been modified again and divided into four areas. There is a long isolation area between each area, but when the eyes of the members of the four teams collide with each other, there are inevitably a few more sparks, and each team member is full of fighting spirit.
Many people's eyes stayed on the star players of several teams. The fighting spirit competition has been going on for now, and the strength of each team has almost been demonstrated. Among the four teams, Shrek Academy is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Sun and Moon Royal Academy. Although two academies of Xingluo Empire have advanced to the semi-finals, their strength is the weakest among the four.
Dongcang Academy is the weakest, but many people's eyes are cast on Jiang Hai in the team. Jiang Hai looks pale and weak, but thinking of yesterday's duel, others can't judge Jiang Hai's true state.
Xiao Hongchen whispered to Ma Rulong: "Do you think this Jiang Hai is really exhausted or pretending?"
No matter what means he has, Jiang Hai can defeat Jiang Peng in the Soul Emperor realm, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Ma Rulong shook his head, his tone full of confidence, and said: "It's hard to say, but if we meet them, we will win!"
Soon, the sky was bright.
Today's weather is very good, the sky is clear, and the sun shines on the ring, sprinkling a layer of golden light.
Xu Jiawei walked out of the imperial city, followed closely by four Title Douluo guards.
"Long live, long live, long live!" All the soldiers who maintained order half-knelt on the ground and cheered, and the 108 soul masters who maintained the arena barrier also bowed slightly.
Xu Jiawei stepped onto the stage, facing Xingluo Square, and smiled: "My people, stand up!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
Warm cheers rang out again. Xu Jiawei is definitely a wise ruler in the history of Xingluo Empire. Not only is his strength unfathomable, he loves his people like his own children, and he is also well-known in Xingluo Empire. Xu Jiawei did not disturb the noise in the hearts of the people. When the voices gradually subsided, he said: "The All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition is a grand event held every five years. This Fighting Soul Competition is held in my Xingluo Empire. I am also deeply honored. First of all, I want to thank the more than 100 colleges participating in the competition. It is you who have contributed wonderful games to me and the world, and let us realize the rapid development of soul masters and soul mentors in Douluo Continent, and also gave me the opportunity to have fun with the people."
"The next thing to do is the semi-finals of this time The competition is about to end, and this draw is also the last one, so I decided to host the draw myself, and I hope that the contestants can show their style and level and achieve a good result! "
"I also know that everyone is eager to enjoy the game, so I won't delay it. The draw will start immediately. I wish to share the joy with the people and wish my Xingluo Empire eternal prosperity for generations!"
An old man beside Xu Jiawei stepped forward and said, "Please invite the representatives of the four teams to come on stage to draw lots!"
Xu Jiawei said: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the next game, from the semi-finals to the finals, the referees will be the Empire's Protector of the Nation Douluo. The referee of the first game today and the host of the draw will be held by Senior Huang Jinxu, whose title is Tiansha Douluo. "
Tiansha Douluo, this name may not be a big deal for ordinary people, but it is also a great name in the soul master world.
"Jiang Hai, you go to draw lots on our behalf!" Xu Yunxiu suddenly said.
Jiang Hai glanced at Xu Yunxiu, who was drawing lots on behalf of the team, and in such a scene, it was a very glorious and rare opportunity. Jiang Hai nodded, and under the attention of the crowd, he walked onto the stage with a calm look. He was pale and did not walk very fast, but he still attracted the attention of many people. He was undoubtedly the most amazing in this competition.
On the other side, the captain who came out of Xingluo Royal Academy surprised most people. Jiang Hai was no stranger to this person. It was Xu Jiawei's sister, the eldest princess of the empire, Xu Jiujiu. The representative of Sun and Moon Royal Academy was Ma Rulong, and the representative of Shrek Academy was undoubtedly Ma Xiaotao.
The four stood opposite each other, staring at each other, and the situation was tense!
Under the gaze of the four Title Douluo, Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "I am very happy to meet you young talents. The draw will start soon. I hope you will uphold the principle of friendship first and competition second and perform well. Next, I will throw out four balls with lottery numbers written on them. The four of you will grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"
Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes slightly, first glanced at Xu Jiujiu, then glared at Jiang Hai, and said, "Ready!"
Jiang Hai smiled slightly, and Xu Jiujiu glanced at Jiang Hai. I don't know what he was thinking. The three of them nodded slightly.
Instantly, four golden lights shot up into the sky. No one knew how Xu Jiawei threw these small balls into the sky, but Ma Xiaotao and Ma Rulong both shouted and shot up into the sky together. Ma Xiaotao grabbed a small ball first, and Ma Rulong also grabbed a small ball later. Jiang Hai and Xu Jiujiu did not move. Jiang Hai stretched out a hand seemingly casually, and a small ball fell and landed on his hand. Another small ball also fell into Xu Jiujiu's hand.
"I am number one!" Xu Jiujiu smiled, glanced at the small ball, and was the first to say the number on it.
Ma Rulong said in a deep voice: "I am number two!"
Jiang Hai did not even look at the small ball, and said directly: "I should also be number one!"
Sure enough, Ma Xiaotao spread out his palm, and the number on it was exactly "two".
The result of the duel has come out. Ma Rulong's face is not good. With a one-third chance, they still drew Shrek Academy, while the weaker Xingluo Royal Academy drew Dongcang Academy.
After Xu Jiawei checked all the draws, he announced the results of the draw to everyone. For the Xingluo Empire, this was definitely a good draw, at least it meant that at least one team from their Xingluo Empire could make it to the finals.
The rules of the semi-finals and finals did not change much, but the second individual battle would not be three-on-seven. Only by winning both games could they advance to the finals. If they won one and lost one, they would have to play the final two-two-three game system, with two wins out of three games.
Therefore, team battles would no longer have an absolute advantage.
The numbers drawn were also the order of the games. The first game was between Xingluo Royal Academy and Dongcang Art and Soul Master Academy.
Xu Jiujiu stared at Jiang Hai with curiosity. For some reason, she always felt that this person gave her a familiar feeling, as if she had seen him before. Jiang Hai smiled at Xu Jiujiu, but his eyes were extremely calm.
The four returned to their own teams. Xu Yunxiu patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You performed well? Especially when you said the position without even looking at the ball, you were so cool!"
Jiang Hai said with a smile: "It's Baozi's credit!"
Although Baozi has not participated in any battles in the battles of Dongcang College so far, everyone knows that Baozi has made an indelible contribution to the current achievements of Dongcang College.
Wu Tong also nodded with a faint smile on his face. At this point, they were no longer under any pressure. He said: "Baozi, you should also prepare to play in today's team battle. It's time to let everyone know the strength of you, the god of luck."
"I'll play?" Baozi was also stunned.
Wu Tong patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, you go, you are our lucky star, maybe people will admit defeat as soon as you go on the stage! Don't worry, don't feel any pressure, we can get to where we are now thanks to everyone's efforts, if we lose, we lose, you have done enough!"
"Xingluo Royal Academy, Dongcang Academy, team members go on the stage!" It was Tiansha Douluo who presided over this battle.
At this moment, Xu Jiawei and his group have returned to the city wall to watch the battle again.
"Go!" Wu Tong said with a smile.
"Let's go, don't worry, I'll protect you, it will be fine!" Sun Yunhai also smiled and pulled Baozi to the ring.
"Newcomer?" The first game of the day, including Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, did not miss this game. When they saw Baozi go on the stage, everyone showed a look of surprise.
"Is Dongcang Academy planning to just give up?" Meng Hongchen, who was beside Xiao Hongchen, couldn't help but whispered. Although Baozi had never appeared on the stage, everyone knew Baozi's realm, which was just a Soul Master.
Xiao Hongchen shook his head and said, "Maybe their main force Jiang Hai's injury has not healed, so they plan to give up the team battle directly?"
In the guess, fourteen people from both sides have already walked onto the stage.
The players from Dongcang Academy are: Xu Yunxiu, Jiang Hai, Bingqin, Huo Wu, Xu Wenqing, Sun Yunhai, and Baozi.
On the other side, Princess Jiujiu and several Soul Kings represented Xingluo Royal Academy. In terms of soul power alone, Xingluo Royal Academy has an absolute advantage, but the competition is not just a competition of soul power. Jiang Hai, Bingqin, Huo Wu, and Xu Wenqing all have the strength of the Soul King realm, especially Jiang Hai, whose strength is even more unfathomable.
Tiansha Douluo glanced at Jiang Hai indifferently, and said calmly: "Both sides retreat. Before I announce the start of the game, no one is allowed to use martial souls!"
