The peerless Tang Sect’s power turns the tide

Chapter 138 The round-robin begins

On the city wall, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire squinted his eyes and watched with interest what Mu Qing had just done.

As the supreme ruler of the Star Luo Empire who was proficient in martial arts, Xu Jiawei's cultivation level was not low, and his vision was not inferior to those of the truly top experts. He could tell at a glance that Mu Qing had definitely let go.

Judging from Mu Qing's relaxed and normal expression and the fluctuations in his soul power, the speed of those seven long swords was definitely far from the limit.

"The ability to manipulate metal?"

Xu Jiawei smiled and blinked: "What an amazing young man!"

The gap was so big that the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire could tell just at a glance how big the gap was between Mu Qing and the opposite Tianling Senior Soul Master Academy.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire seemed to have thought of something, and turned to the old man beside him and asked, "Grand Priest, what happened to the seriously injured player who was sent by Shrek last time?"

The old man bent down respectfully and said softly: "The injury has stabilized. Xian'er has stabilized the young man's condition, but it will take at least four months for him to fully recover!"

The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire nodded and said with emotion: "Shrek, Shrek, several great talents appear every once in a while, and it is the same now. Even in such a situation, there are still people who stand up to turn the tide and wait for Mr. Xuan to come back. Remember to notify me when you arrive."

"Yes!"

Following the old man's nod in response, calm was restored here again.

After a long time, I saw everyone from Shrek on the stage. After the referee announced the result, Mu Qing led a few people off the stage amidst the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people in the audience. The shapes and shapes all make the girls present feel excited.

When Meng Hongchen saw Mu Qing's display, he excitedly grabbed Xiao Hongchen's arm and shook it vigorously, with a silly smile on his face. Xiao Hongchen looked helpless and angry.

But after a while, he could only sit helplessly on the chair, thinking about the only ability Mu Qing had just shown, his eyes became a little deep.

"As expected, you and I are in the same boat."

Xiao Hongchen looked at Mu Qing's figure passing in front of him, with a calm and arrogant attitude. Not only was Xiao Hongchen not angry, but he laughed suddenly and nervously: "When it comes to metal control, I have never been afraid of anyone. , Mu Qing, my opponent, let me see what else you are capable of!"

Xiao Hongchen looked at Mu Qing's tall and straight back, and burst out laughing, his face flushed with excitement, and Meng Hongchen, who was obsessed with watching, shivered all over his body.

"Hey, laugh, don't be like this, I'm scared!"

Meng Hongchen stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Hongchen's sleeve, and said worriedly: "If you need a girlfriend, I will introduce some of my good friends to you when I return to Mingde Hall. Don't bend your will. I know Mu Qing is very charming, but if you bend, grandpa will beat you to death!"

"I don't want to lose a biological brother at such a young age!"

Xiao Hongchen's face froze, and he turned his head to look at Meng Hongchen with a confused look on his face.

……

At night, Mu Qing sat on the top balcony of the Star Emperor Hotel, looking at the brightly lit scene of Xingluo City, as if waiting for something.

A moment later, when a vague soul power fluctuation suddenly came from behind Mu Qing, an old man with gray hair and sloppy clothes appeared out of thin air behind Mu Qing.

"How about it?"

"Mr. Zhuang has gone to the Star Luo Empire Palace to treat Chen Zifeng. With Mr. Zhuang and Wang Xian'er here, Chen Zifeng's injury has stabilized, but it should take a long time to recover, but even if it is calculated as the fastest , he probably won’t be able to win the competition this time!”

The old man's voice was hoarse, and his face showed a bit of vicissitudes of life.

Mu Qing nodded, drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, and turned to look at Mr. Xuan.

"Take Yao Haoxuan and Ling Luochen with you. I won't make too many moves in the next round robin. When the situation stabilizes, I will leave here first. I still have important things to do!"

Mu Qing explained a few words and said calmly: "Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao will recover in two days. Before leaving, I will leave something with Ma Xiaotao to prevent what this stupid woman will do. It’s a stupid thing, of course, to prevent some blind people from doing stupid things to her!”

Elder Xuan looked at Mu Qing in surprise, and said in confusion, "You want to leave? But it's still during the competition, so you don't have to be afraid..."

"I said, I will leave when the game is a foregone conclusion. Besides, when Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao recover, Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan also recover. With a few of them, we can't lose this competition."

"If it weren't for Mr. Mu, I wouldn't have wanted to come to this competition."

When Mr. Xuan heard Mu Qing's words, he was a little silent, and also felt a little unwilling.

"This is for Shrek's ten thousand-year honor. Everything is possible. If Shrek's honor is hit or some other accident occurs, aren't you afraid?"

Mu Qing glanced at Elder Xuan and shook his head mockingly.

"If Shrek's honor disappears or takes a hit because of a competition, then the meaning of Shrek's existence will be too illusory!"

Mr. Xuan was stunned in place. Mu Qing's words undoubtedly left him unable to give any reason to stop him.

"I said that I will resolve all unstable factors before leaving."

Mu Qing turned around and walked directly towards his room. As he walked, he said: "Okay, take Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan away. I will tell you before leaving. It won't take too long to leave this time." Sir, don’t worry!”

Mr. Xuan looked at Mu Qing's back with a dazed look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned around and disappeared.

……

time flies!

The knockout rounds were quick and brutal.

All participating teams have only one chance. If they lose, they will be eliminated. If they win, they will advance. There will be no chance for the next round.

This means that almost all teams will try their best to squeeze into the next round of competition, and they can't wait to spend all their money.

Even a strong team like the Royal Soul Engineer Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire, which had always maintained second place, took a full ten minutes to end the battle in order to deal with the crazy opponent.

Not to mention other colleges, unless they encounter a college with a very different strength, otherwise both sides will not give in easily if they have some hope, and they will fight to the death.

In three days, the fierce competition in the knockout rounds finally came to an end. After the salute above the competition field and the shouts of the referee, all the sixty-seven teams that advanced could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The beginning was hell mode, and this competition was really... hard to describe.

Compared with these tired students, the audience in the auditorium was very satisfied.

Should it be said that it is worthy of the Star Luo Empire? It used such a competition model from the beginning to firmly attract a large number of viewers, making them willing to pay to watch the game, attracting a large amount of traffic and crowds.

In fact, the price of tickets to enter the competition venue to watch the event is not expensive. One ticket only costs two gold soul coins, but the closer to the front, the more expensive the price.

The seats in the first few rows are sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of gold soul coins every game. This amount can even meet the lifetime expenses of a civilian family and even have some leftover.

According to Mu Qing's recent observation, in just these three days, the Star Luo Empire has earned tens of millions of gold soul coins in net income from tickets, peripherals, newspapers, auctions and other revenue brought by the competition venue.

And this is just the beginning. According to Mu Qing's observations in the past few days, every night, a large number of people stay up late in the open space of Xingluo Square to grab tickets, which shows how popular this event is.

The royal family of the Star Luo Empire was naturally happy to see this situation. Not only did they once again deploy 5,000 armored soldiers to maintain order, but they also appropriately increased the ticket price according to everyone's needs. It was also known as the second round of the round robin. The level of excitement is higher and the enjoyment is stronger!

Not only that, in order to let other people who cannot see this kind of event understand the situation here, Xingluo City even specially developed a newspaper responsible for reporting the event and specific details. Each copy only costs five copper soul coins. price.

Although the price is very low, I can't bear the large number of people in Star Luo City now. In addition, publications are published every day, and the number of permanent residents in Star Luo City has recently approached 20 million, and even exceeds it occasionally.

Walking on the street, almost everyone has a newspaper.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how much revenue it can bring to the empire every day, and this does not include the income from peripherals.

It can be said that as long as this event can be held for a complete month, the Star Luo Empire can even accumulate enough funds to fight a big war.

This is evident!

No wonder every country is very enthusiastic about hosting this kind of event. With such benefits, who wouldn’t be happy to host it?

Tens of millions of gold soul coins are enough to buy a few thousand-year soul bones, and they are of extremely high quality.

And this is just the income from the first three days. This competition will take at least a month. It can be seen that as the competition progresses, it will definitely be more crowded later.

Not to mention the three thousand-year soul bones as the prize, even ten more pieces can be afforded with the net income from this competition.

Mu Qing felt a little sad when he thought of this.

The income from one game can exceed Aolai City's net income for several years.

This speed of making money is too exaggerated!

Sure enough, how can a city compare with an empire?

Mu Qing looked outside with deep eyes, feeling a little silent for a moment.

On the fourth day, when the morning sun shone brightly on the earth, Mu Qing finished washing up early and went to the competition venue with everyone from Shrek.

This time, Shrek's team had a few more people than before.

Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao were pretentious due to injuries, and they were almost recovered at this time. They only needed one or two days of training, but it no longer affected them from watching the game while recovering from their injuries.

Because they had plenty of time, at the beginning of the round-robin tournament, both of them came to Shrek's rest area to watch the game.

While waiting for the start of the match, Wang Yan hurried over, sat on the sofa, waved to a few people, and said, "Let me talk about this round-robin match."

"First of all, the competition modes of the round robin and the knockout round are different. I have said this a few days ago, but there is another point. The round robin is played in groups. The sixty-seven teams are divided into eight groups, five of which are There are eight teams, three groups are nine teams, and four groups compete in one day. Basically, each team competes once every two days. There are eight teams in our group, and only two qualify for the next round of competition, so this The competition will be more intense than the knockout rounds!"

Wang Yan swallowed, stretched out his hand to adjust the black glasses frame, and seeing everyone's attentive expressions, he continued: "We will have games with the other seven teams in the group, one game every two days, which is about the same as this game. It will take about half a month. A win will get two points, a loss will get no points, a tie will get one point, and the two teams with the highest points will get the qualifying spots, do you understand?"

Everyone nodded to express their understanding when they heard Wang Yan's words.

Seeing this, Wang Yan continued: "Because we are the first to qualify from the knockout rounds, we are still the first to start the round robin. I just went to draw lots and got to know our first opponent!"

"Victor Advanced Soul Master Academy is not weak in strength. There are two soul kings. They ranked fifteenth in the last competition. And it just so happened that I got the one-on-one competition mode this time."

"The opponent for the first time is not weak. So, Mu Qing, what do you think? Will you play in this game?"

Wang Yan looked very excited. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to use this time to almost temper the members of the reserve team. After all, in the next continental elite soul master competition, if nothing happens, these few will be their main players. If If you can practice more now, the next game will naturally be easier.

Although there are two soul king-level students in the opposing academy, Wang Yan believes that relying on the cultivation of Xu Sanshi and Beibei plus the blessing of top martial arts, they are no weaker than them. Besides, even if you lose, you still have Mu Qing to hold the bottom, so what are you afraid of!

However, as a theoretical worker who is extremely obsessed with martial arts, Wang Yan has always been very interested in Mu Qing.

Not only was he interested in the opponent's talent, but he was mainly interested in Mu Qing's martial spirit.

He was one of the very few people who knew that Mu Qing was being robbed by the Noumenon Sect and Shrek. How talented was someone who could attract a superpower like the Noumenon Sect to rob him?

He didn't know, but wanted to know.

If he could learn more about Mu Qing and observe some of Mu Qing's martial soul, this would be much more meaningful to Wang Yan than obtaining a ten-thousand-year soul bone.

Mu Qing looked at Wang Yan, then at the other students, and nodded after thinking for a while.

"Let me do it. This is the opening ceremony of the second round. I will try to make the deterrent effect as high as possible so that when you attack later, your opponent will throw a rat weapon."

Everyone was not disappointed with Mu Qing's answer, they were even very excited.

Having Mu Qing here means that they will never lose. Being able to see such a powerful genius take action will definitely benefit a lot for young people like them.

"Okay, get ready. In a few minutes, the referee will announce the entry!"

Sure enough, within a few minutes, a tall, gray-haired old man walked onto the stage.

The referee held a list in his hand, looked at the vast rest area of ​​Shrek Academy that was very different from other colleges, and said loudly: "In the first game of the round-robin tournament, Shrek Academy will play against Victor Advanced Soul Master Academy. The battle mode is - individual station. , please invite the players from both sides to enter!"
