Chapter 249 The Qualifying Rounds End and the Promotion Rounds Begin
Yu Xiaogang saw himself, a Grandmaster, being so sarcastically mocked by a young girl.
The shame in his heart surged to its peak because of this.
But what frustrated Yu Xiaogang the most was that he couldn't find any way to refute her.
After all, no matter how they tried to refute today's events, Shrek was bound to be at a disadvantage and would again be subjected to abuse from others.
Therefore, even though Yu Xiaogang was furious at this moment, he could only choose to suppress his anger.
He dejectedly led the others to take Tang San and the rest away.
Soon, with Tianshui Academy's crushing victory over Shrek Academy, Tianshui Academy and Shenfeng Academy's points ranking reached a tie for first place.
Neither of them had defeated Royal Fight Team.
And the fact that both also had one loss led to the current situation where their records were tied.
Tianshui Academy lost to Thunder Academy due to a lack of strength.
As for Shenfeng losing to Blazing Academy, it was purely because someone intentionally held back…
Beyond that, neither of them had any other losses!
Therefore, to officially determine the first-place winner, they would have a special showdown tomorrow to contend for the top spot!
Following Shenfeng Academy and Tianshui Academy was Blazing Academy.
During this period of competition, Blazing Academy had only lost to Tianshui Academy, Thunder Academy, and Royal Fight Team.
Coupled with Shenfeng Academy's intentional surrender, Blazing Academy's results were also quite impressive.
Further down the rankings was Thunder Academy.
Thunder Academy's results were also very good, having only lost to Shenfeng Academy and Shrek Academy.
Although they also lost two matches, because Shenfeng Academy intentionally lost to Blazing Academy, Thunder Academy's ranking automatically dropped by one spot.
After Thunder Academy came Shrek Academy.
Although Shrek Academy had recently been criticized and subjected to everyone's sarcasm, their strength, having defeated Thunder Academy, was more than enough to be in the top five.
After all, the Shrek Team's strength was quite formidable, even without Xiao Wu.
They still had Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, two top Beast Spirit Spirit Ancestors, and Ning Rongrong and Oscar, two excellent support system Spirit Masters, helping them.
Therefore, all things considered, most teams truly stood no chance against them.
At this point, as time flowed, one day quickly passed.
The second day had only one match: Tianshui Academy vs. Shenfeng Academy.
Ultimately, with Feng Xiaotian's full effort, Tianshui Academy was defeated and became the second-place team.
Thus, the top five teams for the preliminary rounds were officially determined:
First place: Shenfeng Academy.
Second place: Tianshui Academy.
Third place: Blazing Academy.
Fourth place: Thunder Academy.
Fifth place: Shrek Academy.
Adding the Royal Fight Team, who were the seeded team, a total of six teams would head to Spirit City two months later for the final competition.
Of course, before that, there was still a promotion match to determine the final competition's ranking and Participation order.
Therefore, after the battle between Tianshui Academy and Shenfeng Academy concluded, Emperor Xue Ye, together with Ning Fengzhi, delivered an inspiring speech.
Afterward, he even offered the title of Viscount and assistance in obtaining a spirit ring as rewards for the competition winners.
Listening to the grand promises made by Emperor Xue Ye, many students from the academies present felt envious, expectant, and longing.
After Emperor Xue Ye finished his motivational speech, the various teams returned to their respective academies to begin preparations.
They planned to make a splash in the promotion match a month later.
At Shenfeng Academy, while undergoing rigorous training, Feng Xiaotian still made sure to frequently seek out Huo Wu to show his affection.
Tianshui Academy continued their diligent cultivation.
Blazing Academy diligently cultivated.
Thunder Academy did the same.
As for Shrek Academy, while everyone else was diligently cultivating, Tang San was taken away from the academy by Yu Xiaogang.
As for where they went, no one knew except Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong also didn't tell anyone else…
As for the teams that had been completely defeated, they likewise headed back in the direction of their respective academies.
Although they lost this time, being able to come here and compete with masters of their generation, even in defeat, they lost honorably.
At the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, in the Crown Prince's residence, Sun Yu was currently sitting opposite Xue Qinghe, reporting on work.
"Your Royal Highness, we have finished studying Ning Fengzhi's notes.
This item called the Godly Zhuge Crossbow appears to have quite formidable destructive power.
I suggest we implement this weapon in our city defense forces!"
Xue Qinghe looked at the report Sun Yu handed him and nodded slightly, saying, "Very good.
Have the Strength Clan expedite production and produce a few hundred of them first!"
"….."
At this point, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed quickly.
The start date of the promotion match finally arrived today…
At the Heaven Dou Empire's grand parade ground, because today was the start of the half-month-long promotion match, Emperor Xue Ye dispatched a full ten thousand well-equipped, fully armored Heaven Dou Royal Knights to completely surround the entire parade ground to ensure safety.
And within the circle surrounded by these Heaven Dou Royal Knights, fifteen teams participating in the finals were standing there at this moment.
After listening to Emperor Xue Ye's motivational speech and his announcement of the promotion match's start, the first promotion match officially began.
"No, what are Third Brother and Grandmaster doing?! Why haven't they returned yet? Erlong teacher, where exactly did Tang San and Yu Xiaogang go?! Please tell me quickly; I'll have my father send people to look for them!"
Inside the Shrek Team's lounge, Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who still hadn't returned even though the competition had started.
She spoke with an anxious expression.
If it had been their bye day today, Ning Rongrong wouldn't have been so anxious, but the problem was that Shrek didn't have a bye today; they needed to compete!
If Tang San didn't return, coupled with the capture of the formidable Tai Long, then relying solely on Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng would make it very difficult for Shrek to win today's match!
Liu Erlong looked at the anxious Ning Rongrong, her expression unchanged.
However, Liu Erlong's heart was still troubled, fretting over why Xiaogang hadn't returned yet.
Meanwhile, as Ning Rongrong and Liu Erlong were anxious about the whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, at an entrance on the outskirts of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights' grand parade ground, two figures were rapidly rushing towards this direction.
"Halt! This is a competition area; ordinary people are not allowed to trespass!"
A Heaven Dou Royal Knight guard, responsible for security, saw the two dust-covered figures hurrying over.
He immediately moved to stop them.
"Brother, we are here to participate in the competition.
I am Yu Xiaogang, a teacher from Shrek, and this is my disciple, Tang San.
We were delayed because we went to Sunset Forest to obtain a spirit ring…"
