Two days later, the second round of the knockout stage ended and the third round officially began.
Only forty-two of the one hundred and sixty-seven participating teams remain, of which thirty are from sects, accounting for more than two-thirds, gradually reflecting the heritage of the continent's ancient sects.
The strong teams from the old academies are still going strong, such as the royal academies of the four empires. It is worth mentioning that although Shrek Academy is no longer as strong as it used to be, it has made it into the top 32 of the group stage with a bye and two consecutive wins.
Compared with the first two rounds of direct one-on-one elimination, the third round is more peaceful because the losers are ranked according to the points scored in the three rounds, and only ten teams are eliminated out of the forty-two teams. Teams that have won higher points in the first two rounds can still advance to the group stage even if they lose the third round.
The topic of the sects' participation in this Soul Master Competition was very popular. With the emergence of the six-winged angel Soul Douluo, the discussion instantly reached its peak. The Angel Temple was recognized as the first seed for the championship, and countless eyes were staring at them openly and secretly.
In the first round, Ling Bai swept the Earth Dragon Gate and scored all twelve points. In the second round, Ling Bai did not show up, and the six people changed to rock-paper-scissors. Wu Feng was extremely lucky and was the first to go on the court. He pierced through the Seven Gauze Heavy Sky Gate, and the appearance of the Fire Dragon of the Ultimate Fire Level shocked everyone.
In the third round of the draw, Ling Qiuxi represented the Temple of Angels and drew the Tianlong Gate, which was located in the same Dragon City as the Dilong Gate.
The Tianlong Sect is far more powerful than the Dilong Sect. Even if the Body Sect, which disguises itself as the Snow Demon Sect to hide its weakness, is taken into account, its hard power can still be ranked in the top six.
This was a battle of strong confrontation, and it was also the battle that everyone from the Sun and Moon Regent Xu Tianran to ordinary audiences were most interested in watching. All the major teams sat in the rest area on time, holding small notebooks, waiting to record the abilities of other members of the number one seed Angel Temple.
As teams came onto the battlefield to fight, the Tianlong Sect's minds were all focused on the Angel Temple. The players were extremely nervous, because that was the Fire Dragon Soul Emperor, a descendant of the Fire Dragon King, and the six-winged Angel Soul Douluo, a god-level martial soul!
The two of them were like two huge mountains, standing in front of everyone from Tianlongmen. Captain Yu Tianlong took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down.
"Captain, the six-winged angel is not here..." Someone from Tianlongmen exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Tianlong took a closer look and found that there were indeed only six people sitting in the Temple of Angels. Ling Bai disappeared just like he did in the second elimination round. He could not help but clench his fists, stood up, and strode towards the Temple of Angels.
When he came before the six people from the Temple of Angels, Yu Tianlong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the women in front of him were so beautiful.
Nanmen Yoona is a pretty girl from a small family, Nana is exotic, Wu Feng is hot and sexy, Ning Tian is graceful and elegant, and none of them is inferior in appearance. However, the one that Yu Tianlong can't take his eyes off is Ling Qiuxi, who is resting with her eyes closed.
Her long golden hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall, and her stunning face was flawless. When he got close to her, the blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex blood in Yu Tianlong's body even throbbed unconsciously. The feeling was extremely wonderful.
Trying hard to suppress the emotions in his heart, Yu Tianlong asked coldly,
"Where is your captain, the six-winged angel Ling Bai?"
"He has his own important business." Ning Tian said calmly.
Hearing this, Yu Tianlong became even more furious: "So he let a group of women deal with us?"
"Huh?"
Xie Huanyue's fat body trembled. "Brother, what do you mean?
Five women and one man, show some respect to me!
" "You talk too much nonsense, are you a man?"
Ling Qiuxi opened her eyes and a strong golden light burst out. She was in a very bad mood today.
Ling Qiuxi failed to draw lots for the Earth Dragon Gate and failed to play rock-paper-scissors for the Heavy Heaven Gate, and has not yet been able to get a chance to play. Later, she drew the Heaven Dragon Gate on behalf of the Angel Temple, and was ridiculed by Ling Bai when she was alone. The dignified imperial beast turned into an unlucky little golden dragon in the human world.
If Yu Tianlong talks any more, his vinegar-jar-sized Golden Dragon Fist will hit his face.
This kind of questioning that goes straight to the source is an insult to any man, and Yu Tianlong is no exception. He stared at Ling Qiuxi for a long while, with a dangerous aura spreading. Then he turned his head and looked at Ning Tian, saying:
"It seems that you are the vice-captain. This battle will not affect our two teams' advancement to the top 32. Let's save some time.
None of us can beat seven at once, so we have to play a team match anyway, so why not just skip the individual match and decide the outcome in a team fight."
"Can."
Six to seven, the Angel Temple seems to be at a disadvantage, but can the overall strength of the Angel Temple be defined by the number of people? The Nine Treasures Glazed Tower is the god of small group battles!
Ling Bai is not here at the moment, Ning Tian took over the captain position. The Soul Master Competition is a precious opportunity to fight against geniuses of the same age from the outside world. It is the last time to participate in the competition in her life. She hopes that every member can play and train, rather than just play the role of making up the number of people to participate in the competition.
Ling Bai and Ning Tian had the same idea. The direct reason why he did not go to the competition was that Nangong Wan kept trying to build a relationship with Death Prison Douluo, wishing they could share the same bed and coffin.
Even though he escaped from Xishui League using the Spider Emperor's clone, the Death Prison Douluo still had the Thousand Charms on his face. Once Ling Bai used his soul skills, the color of his soul ring would be exposed.
Before he had the ability to dominate the continent and call a horse a zebra, Ling Bai did not want to show his true ability.
The only one who can fight against Tianlongmen is Yu Tianlong, and he is not as dangerous as the evil soul master of Holy Spirit Church, so he can put some pressure on the six people.
Ling Bai was just trying to get by, revealing information about the Xishui League to Ning Fengyu in Linglong Pavilion, and practicing dual cultivation with Ye Guyi (vegetarian).
Before the battle began, the Angel Temple and the Tianlong Gate jointly proposed a team battle to determine the winner. The organizing committee approved the applications of both teams, and the team winner would take all twelve points.
"Please invite both players to come on stage."
A tall and majestic figure stood in the center of the competition stage, the ninth-level soul instructor, Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan.
In the first round of the competition, an outrageous incident occurred in which the referee's spiritual power was inferior to that of the contestants. The referee team made an emergency plan and arranged for Zheng Zhan to referee all future competitions of the Angel Temple.
Zheng Zhan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ling Bai didn't appear. The level 89 six-winged angel was determined to kill, and the level 9 soul guide indestructible shield didn't seem to be able to stop him. He could feel a lot more relaxed when Ling Bai was slacking off, and shouted,
"Let the game begin!"
"roar--"
Loud, passionate, low, hoarse... the roars of dragons resounded. All members of the Tianlong Sect were dragons. Together with Ling Qiuxi and Wu Feng, there were thirteen people in two teams on the field, including nine dragon soul masters and nine fierce dragons!
The scorching red dragon scales emerged, extending to the whole body with the chest as the center. The dragon scales turned into heavy armor. Wu Feng was like a Valkyrie armed for battle. The air around her was rippling with violent water-like waves, showing how explosive and hot the fire of the fire dragon was.
Brilliant golden light burst out from Ling Qiuxi's body, and a layer of fine golden dragon scales quickly covered her entire body except for her face. The golden light illuminated half of the competition venue, and six soul rings of yellow, purple, and black rose up, causing the audience to exclaim loudly, and the participating teams' faces were as gloomy as water.
Six-ring Soul Emperor, the ancestor of power, the Golden Dragon!
There are still masters in the Angel Temple!
Facing the two ultimate true dragons, Yu Tianlong lowered his body, and the piercing thunder crackled. Blue-purple dragon scales grew on his right arm and spread rapidly. His martial spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, possessed him. He looked one size larger, and there were six perfectly proportioned soul rings in the thunder and lightning.
"roar--"
The martial spirit possession was completed, and the nine giant dragons on both sides released their dragon power wantonly and roared madly at each other!
Red flames, golden rays, and blue-purple thunder, three dazzling colors suppressed all other colors and occupied the entire venue. Before the two sides officially started fighting, the audience's emotions had been aroused. Even Xu Tianran's face on the rostrum was covered with a layer of blush, staring at the grand scene of the nine dragons fighting without blinking.
Xu Tianran is also a dragon soul master, Zihuang destroys the sky dragon!
Soul masters are generally affected by the origin of their martial souls. For example, those with fire attributes have hot tempers, while those with ice attributes are cold. Xu Tianran is radical and warlike, and has been disturbed by the destructive power of the Purple Huang Tianmie Dragon. He even has the desire to jump off the podium and compete with those dragon soul masters.
Unfortunately, he is the Regent of Sun and Moon, a disabled soul master with paralyzed lower limbs, destined to not be able to engage in a satisfying battle.
"Your Highness."
Juzi had followed Xu Tianran for many years and immediately noticed the change in expression of the person next to him. After thinking for half a second, he reached out and held Xu Tianran's hand.
Xu Tianran clenched Orange's little hand and sighed, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it after so many years.
It is rare for the three top dragon spirits, Golden Dragon, Fire Dragon and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, to gather together. The Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent are full of talents..."
The nine dragon clans are pressuring each other. Ling Qiuxi and Wu Feng use the power of two dragons to fight against the seven people from Tianlongmen. It is true that Tianlongmen has only one Soul Emperor, but the remaining six members are also carefully selected high-level dragon martial spirits, and each of them has the cultivation level of a Soul King!
Even so, it was unable to overpower the two of them, which shows the power of the Ultimate True Dragon.
Tianlongmen tried their best to release the dragon's might in order to take the lead in momentum, while Ning Tian smiled softly, spread out his white jade-like palms, and chanted softly:
"Nine treasures turned into colored glaze."
Nine-colored lights bloomed, and a noble nine-story pagoda stood in the palm of his hand. The ten thousand year black soul ring, which was the last of the six soul rings, shone brightly!
"The nine treasures have names, the sixth is called, increase!"
The attribute amplification was injected into the bodies of the two ultimate dragon soul masters. The two women raised their heads and chanted loudly. Wild dragon roars burst out, instantly crushing the power of the seven dragons on the opposite side, shocking the nine heavens!
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tower!?"
The audience was stunned. This Angel Temple was amazing!
The eight-ring six-winged angel, the six-ring golden dragon, the six-ring fire dragon, and the six-ring nine-treasure glazed tower, the four of them looked so beautiful just by poking and standing!
Ghost and Pipi Elephant are also the best among Soul Kings. With the full support of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, they are qualified to be regarded as Soul Emperors.
Angel Temple's only weak link, Jade Bluebird, Nammun Yoona said:
Hehe, the seven of us are really strong!
The participating team that wanted to record some information suddenly threw away the small notebook in their hands and said, "Fuck it, hurry up and give the awards, we're going home!"
On the competition stage, the seven people from Tianlongmen were stunned and terrified. They received the attribute enhancement of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Ling Qiuxi Wufeng seemed to have turned into a real roaring golden dragon and fire dragon. The terrifying pressure made their martial spirits tremble strongly.
Yu Tianlong gritted his teeth. Before today, he had never thought that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex would be suppressed to this extent. His proud belief was hit hard.
No matter what Yu Tianlong thinks, Ning Tian will not stop, and soul rings will light up one after another!
"The Nine Treasures have names, one of which is: Strength!"
Ling Qiuxi's long golden hair moved without wind, and the soul shield seemed to sense some danger and began to fluctuate!
Golden Dragon, 70% power increase!
The golden dragon is the ultimate power, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda's attribute increase is also power to it. The combination of the two makes Ling Qiuxi's power almost earth-shaking!
With a sudden step of her right foot, the heavy metal surface of the competition platform collapsed by several square meters. Ling Qiuxi was like a golden cannonball, rushing straight to Yu Tianlong, the captain of the Tianlongmen!
Ling Qiuxi had previously felt the contempt for women from Yu Tianlong's tone, so now she wanted to use her fists to tell him what it meant for women to hold up half the sky!
Yu Tianlong's face was solemn, and he rubbed his hands in front of him. A blue-purple thunder ball took shape instantly. The first, second, and third soul rings shone at the same time, and thousands of thunder and lightning burst out, condensing wildly towards the thunder ball.
As the thunder condensed, the color of the thunder ball began to change. The blue-purple color became deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a black color that seemed to be able to swallow everything, with dark electric light lingering all around.
Taking a step forward with his left foot, Yu Tianlong locked onto Ling Qiuxi who was charging towards him, and threw the thunder ball containing the thunder power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with all his strength!
Strong golden light quickly gathered towards Ling Qiuxi's right hand, and when he raised his palm, it was as bright as a golden crystal!
Ling Qiuxi's fighting style was simple and violent. The way to resist the thunder ball was to use his fist, a powerful golden dragon fist!
The violent roar made the competition stage dark. The black thunder ball exploded and increased in size by a hundred times, turning into a huge black electric net that enveloped Ling Qiuxi's body. The dark electric light tore everything apart, and snakes of electricity flew everywhere.
"boom--"
Another loud bang followed, and a big hole was blasted in the newly formed electric grid. Ling Qiuxi tapped the ground with her toes, and the steel plate sank, but she jumped out like an arrow, her fist carrying an unstoppable momentum.
How is that possible?
Yu Tianlong's eyes were filled with shock. He could never have imagined that someone could directly blast away the Thunder Prison that had compressed half of his soul power!
Ling Qiuxi's body was covered with dark lightning, but the lightning of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex could not penetrate the golden dragon scales. She was too fast and too fierce. Yu Tianlong only had time to cross his arms after the dragonization and tried to resist the unparalleled punch!
"Bang!!!"
In other battle circles, Ning Tian sat in the rear, injecting colorful lights into his teammates' bodies.
The soul power is amplified by Nanmen Yoona, the defense is amplified by Xie Huanyue, the speed is amplified by Nana, and the attack is amplified by Wu Feng. After years of training and making soul guides, she has already cultivated the Seven Apertures Mind in advance and can control small group battles like an arm.
The seven people from Tianlongmen are all combat soul masters, without a single auxiliary system. Yu Tianlong and Ling Qiuxi fight alone, while the remaining six are struggling to hold on under the overwhelming attacks of the four people from the Angel Temple.
The defeat seemed irreversible, and the Tianlong Sect even needed the combined efforts of three people to stop the Fire Dragon Soul Emperor Wu Feng's advance, and they could be defeated at any time.
The vice captain of Tianlongmen, Speed Dragon Soul King, dodged Wu Feng's dragon flame, then glanced at Ning Tian who looked indifferent behind him, and roared:
"You two hold on, I'm going to destroy the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower! We still have a chance!"
The fifth soul ring of the Speed Dragon Soul King shines, and its speed is so fast that it causes a sonic boom. The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is the best in the world in terms of auxiliary ability, but it itself has no attack power. As long as Ning Tian is eliminated, with seven against five, the Tianlong Gate may be able to turn defeat into victory!
However, just when he thought he had it all figured out, a pair of emerald green wings suddenly grew out from behind Ning Tian, and his speed soared, surpassing the Five-Ring Speed Dragon!
The Hundred Thousand Years Emerald Demon Bird's external soul bone, Emerald Wings, comes with a skill, Emerald Speed!
"Remember not to underestimate the auxiliary system next time."
Ning Tian smiled slightly, and the sixth-level rainbow cannon hit the Speed Dragon Soul King's forehead.
"ah..."
The pupils of the Speed Dragon Soul King suddenly dilated.
"You're out."
