Chapter 339: Brother, you must keep your word.(1/2)
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
In the early morning, after having breakfast, the team members, who had refreshed themselves and were ready to go, arrived at the competition venue in high spirits under the guidance of dedicated personnel from Wuhun Hall.
Because this finals is a closed schedule, there will not be the huge crowds during the promotion rounds.
Since the competition format is a single round-robin knockout, the rest areas of each college are also temporarily set up.
The competition venue is facing the Papal Palace, and in front is the VIP judging seat.
Representatives from the two major empires, the Wuhun Palace, and the seven major sects have already taken their places.
Sitting in the rest area, looking at Liu Erlong who was called to draw lots, Yang Pojun touched his chin and squinted his eyes to think...
Which college will Lanba College face in the first game?
Will the draw be open, fair and impartial?
Did I really believe you?
If it weren't for the competition system, Yang Pojun even suspected that Lanba Academy would encounter the Wuhundian team in the first game.
Well...according to my original memory, Shrek was supposed to face Blazing Academy in the first game of the finals.
In the original book, because Shrek stands out, Blazing Academy and Divine Wind Academy finally chose to merge.
However, at present, it seems that this situation should not happen!
Hiss... Will the opponent in this first game be the first place in the promotion competition between the two empires?
Forget it...it doesn't matter who your opponent is, just push past him!
Now that the Po Zhi Clan has two titled Douluo in charge, he no longer has to worry about bringing down the family!
Moreover, if you want to win the championship, it is unrealistic to hide your strength anymore... In this case... I won't pretend anymore... I will show my cards!
Such a good opportunity, in front of the representatives of the two major empires, in front of the Wuhun Palace, in front of the seven major sects... I will pretend to be this force first...
Golden generation?
Haha... Touching the camouflage ring on his hand, Yang Pojun silently took it off!
To be honest, Yang Pojun would not be willing to expose himself in public if possible.
However, he knew that it was okay to deceive ordinary people with a disguised ring, but whoever was present was not an old fox. As long as he did it, he would be seen through soon.
After all, there is an essential difference between the energy emitted by a ten-year soul ring, a thousand-year soul ring, and a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Therefore, it is better to show it openly!
Not long after, Liu Erlong came back expressionlessly after drawing lots.
"Dean?"
"Sister Erlong?"
Seeing Liu Erlong coming back, all the team members stood up.
Although Yang Pojun, the soul king, is here, it is the first time for everyone to participate in such a large-scale competition, so how can they not be nervous.
The draw in the first round is undoubtedly very important. If you can draw a relatively weak opponent, it will be quite beneficial for any team.
Especially a college like Lanba College where there is no chance of a bye.
If they can defeat their opponents easily, then they will save a lot of energy for the next game.
"One good news and one bad news. The good news is that our opponents in the first round are very familiar to you. They are participating colleges in the Tiandou Empire Division. The bad news is that this opponent is very difficult. They are the second ranked ones in the promotion round.
Blazing Academy!" Liu Erlong frowned slightly, obviously, he was not very satisfied with the result of the lottery.
Raising his head suddenly, Yang Pojun looked at Liu Erlong in astonishment. After a long time, he asked in an uncertain tone: "Blazing Fire Academy?"
"Yes!" Liu Erlong nodded, his expression a little serious.
Is it really Blazing Academy?
Hiss...it's really open, fair and just!
To be honest, this result surprised Yang Pojun. He pinched his chin. He felt that Wuhun Palace was not a good thing and things would never be that simple.
"Not long ago, two more students from Blazing Academy were promoted to the Soul Sect realm. Currently, they have four Soul Sects and three Soul Sects in their lineup. It can be said that with their current lineup, they have become Tiandou.
One of the strongest teams in the empire, even compared with the first-place Kamikaze Academy, it is not much inferior." After glancing at Yang Pojun, Liu Erlong said solemnly.
Oh...if you say that, then it's okay...
Yang Pojun squinted his eyes, and after listening to Liu Erlong's words, he couldn't help but fell into a brief thought.
During the preliminaries, Blazing Fire Academy had defeated Lan Ba Academy, and now two more soul sects were added. Perhaps the people behind the scenes thought that Blazing Fire Academy, with its greatly increased strength, would defeat Lan Ba Academy again, so it was fair to let Liu
Erlong drew them.
"Xiaojun, how do you think we should respond to this game?" Liu Erlong pulled Yang Pojun back from his wandering world with one sentence.
"Four soul sects and three soul masters, not bad. This lineup should be considered a relatively strong opponent in this soul master competition. Only such a strong team can test our quality." Yang was stunned for a moment.
Po Jun looked at Liu Erlong confidently.
"We will encounter more powerful opponents next, so we must win this game in the shortest time!"
Having said that, Yang Pojun began to lay out his tactics!
"The other side has two attack-type soul masters, Dai Mubai and Tai Long. I will leave them to you two. Is there any problem?"
"No problem!" Dai Mubai nodded, his eyes flashing with a strong fighting spirit.
"Don't worry, boss, I will never let you down!" Tai Lung said eagerly.
"Well, there's no need to fight, just hold them back!" Yang Pojun waved his hand, signaling Tai Long not to be too nervous.
After a pause, Yang Pojun turned to look at the others and continued to make arrangements: "Zhuqing, Jingling, you are responsible for stopping the other two agility attack system soul masters, Ning Rongrong is in the middle to provide support!"
"Sister Yan, please cooperate with me to deal with their control soul master and two auxiliary soul masters. The most critical thing about their lineup is the two auxiliary soul masters. As long as they are dealt with first, the rest will not be a concern!"
"If there is no doubt, then it's settled!" Yang Pojun glanced at everyone and nodded with satisfaction.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I was eager to get my name called out. Although those who were not called out were a little discouraged, they did not raise any objections.
Hmm... Little fat man, what does that resentful expression on your face mean?
Feeling Yang Pojun's eyes on him, Ma Hongjun hurriedly showed a smile that was uglier than crying...
The finals did not have the grand opening ceremony that I imagined, everything was very simple.
A cardinal from the Wuhun Palace came on stage and announced the start of the finals. He also announced the lineup of players and byes.
Afterwards, the competition officially began under the command of the referee specially selected by Wuhun Palace.
In the rest area, Ma Hongjun looked at Yang Pojun with a complicated expression. To be honest, he was a little panicked...
He felt frustrated that he was not on the roster for the first game. At the same time, he was also afraid that he would sit on the bench all the time!
It took a lot of effort to get to the finals. If I couldn't appear, then wouldn't my trip have been in vain?
But here comes the problem. Liu Erlong has handed over the power to Yang Pojun. If he doesn't let go...
Then he really wants to sit through the bench...
So... after hesitating for a moment, Ma Hongjun sat next to Yang Pojun with a flattering expression.
"Ahem...Um...Captain, are you thirsty?"
"?"
Yang Pojun looked at Ma Hongjun's suppressed and forced smile, and smiled: "Is something wrong?"
"Um...uh...that...that..."
"Fat man, I don't mean to target you. There is really no room for you to perform in this game!"
Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly, yes, you are right...
Ma Hongjun, who has always had a high opinion of himself, now has no choice but to beat Yang Pojun's legs, rub his shoulders and hand him a drink. Brother, don't just talk but don't practice, or will you let me go?
"Don't worry, I will arrange for you to play when I have the chance!" Yang Pojun patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder and gave him a promise with a smile.
"Hmm... um... um..." Ma Hongjun was almost moved to tears after receiving Yang Pojun's promise. Brother, you have to keep your word...
…
The first game of the finals was a civil war between two academies from the Star Luo Empire. The battle lasted about half an hour and ended.
Today's second game is between Lanba Academy and Blazing Academy.
The players from both sides stepped onto the ring at the same time, and according to the rules, both sides stood in a row.
Although the game has not yet started, a strong smell of gunpowder is already emanating from both sides.
Opposite, standing in the middle is a young man who looks extraordinary and heroic.
No need to guess, you can tell from where he stands that this is Huo Wushuang, the captain of Blazing Fire Academy, a forty-level attack-type fighting soul sect.
Well, I heard that his martial spirit is somewhat similar to that of his little aunt, a one-horned fire tyrannosaurus.
Apart from him, among the seven people, the one who stands out the most is definitely the only girl among them!
