Chapter 92: one year later

One year was fleeting, and nine people stood at the gate of Snow City.
Eight of them are Yang Yi and the others, and the other is a sturdy giant, he is the 300,000 soul beast Ice Bear King Xiaobai transformed into a human form.
And Xiaobai now serves as the dean of the Far North Knight Academy.
Xiaobai looked at Yang Yi and they said, "Xiao Yi, you should go to the competition first, I will protect you in the dark."
Yang Yi glanced at Xiaobai and said, "I see, Xiaobai, don't worry."
Then Xiao Bai disappeared in front of Yang Yi and others.
Then Yang Yi and the others got in a huge carriage, which was used by the lord of Cold Snow City to drive them. The carriage was very huge, even if Yang Yi and the eight of them were sitting in it, they did not feel crowded.
At this time, Yang Yi said to Xingyue, "Xingyue, come and tell us about the rules of this competition."
Xingyue is the think tank among them, so some intelligence and tactical planning are made by Xingyue in cooperation with Yang Yi.
Xingyue walked in front of everyone at this time and said, "The Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Contest is sponsored by the two imperial imperial families, Tiandou and Xingluo, and co-organized by the Soul Master World’s largest martial arts contest. The strength of the participants is second only to the Wuhun Hall Elite Trial. In the rules, there are several things that must be observed. First of all, the students sent by the participating academies must be under 25 years old and be able to maintain every game The number of participants reached seven. Secondly, in the course of the competition, for the purpose of friendship and discussion, as much as possible to avoid disabling opponents. Death is not allowed. Once the opponent is killed, the college will not only bear the corresponding responsibility In addition to the loss, he will also be expelled from the Soul Master Competition."
At this time, Zihan said, "It's really troublesome.
Xingyue did not accept Zihan's words, but continued to say, "In addition to these two rigid rules, there are some more standardized rules, and everything is based on fairness. For example, during the game, no non-food system is allowed. Medicines or foods made by healing spirit masters. Only the food or healing spirit masters on the field have the power to supplement their players. In other words, if you want to get supplies in the competition arena, then assist the soul The teacher must occupy a spot on the field. This avoids the possibility of cheating by the team with food-type soul masters. But this is nothing to us. Let alone food-type soul masters among us, even one There are no auxiliary spirit masters. In addition, there is a rule that you cannot use any weapons other than Wuhun. The general rules are these, and if there are any additions, I will tell you during the game. Next, I will tell you Let’s look at the format of this competition."
Speaking, Xingyue took out a piece of white paper from his storage soul guide and drew two circles on it. These two circles represent the two empires. "Next, Xingyue drew a small circle next to the two large circles, which was connected to the two circles at the same time, "This represents the Wuhun Hall. "
"In the two empires, the total number of high-level soul master academies adds up to approximately one hundred. Each academy has a share of the competition, and each of the two empires has an official high-level soul master academy, which will occupy two Share. Like Tiandou Empire, it was the Tiandou Royal Academy where Hong Yue was previously. The two official high-level soul master academies are divided into the home team and the secondary team. The home team will directly advance to the final finals. This is also true. The guarantee of the face of the royal family of the two empires. The deputy team will participate in the preliminaries together with the soul master teams from other academies.
Xingyue drew several small circles in the two big circles, "The qualifiers will be conducted in different regions. Among them, we are going to the Tiandou Empire to participate in the qualifiers, so the Tiandou Empire is centered on Tiandou City. Within the Tiandou Empire, all high-level soul master academies that do not belong to other kingdoms and principalities will be competed in the Tiandou city division. The high-level soul master academies of each kingdom and principality will conduct preliminaries according to the country. Four kingdoms and one principality. In other words, including the Tiandou City division, there will be a total of six qualifier divisions on the Tiandou Empire side. In addition to the team that has already been sent to the finals, these six divisions will compete for ten There are five places for the competition. Among them, the Tiandou City division has a large number of advanced soul master academies and is directly under the empire, so the number of qualifying places will be five. The other four kingdoms and one principality will have two qualifying places for each division. The situation of the Star Luo Empire is almost the same as that of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"In other words, through the qualifiers, there will be 30 soul master teams entering the next stage. All 30 teams will participate in the finals. But before participating in the finals, there will be a promotion match. The so-called promotion. The match is actually a ranking match for the teams that have entered the finals. The order of appearance is determined in the finals according to the ranking order."
The format of the qualifiers and the promotion matches is different. The qualifiers will be conducted in the team battle method you are most familiar with. Single round-robin competition system, the team with the highest winning points in each preliminary division enters the promotion competition. The promotion match will be conducted in a special way. Although the participating teams still dispatched seven participants, they played against each other one by one. The winner continues to stay on the field, and the loser continues to send students until all the students on the field fail. "
"Therefore, the qualifiers can be said to be a competition to show the strength of the team, and the promotion competition is a stage for individual strength. The reason why there is a promotion competition is to let the two empires and the spirit hall seniors from these participating students It’s better to recognize some particularly outstanding young soul masters."
"The total number of participating teams in the finals will be 33. Lots will be drawn for a brutal elimination round. One of the extra teams is the Wuhundian team where Zihan was before."
"The ranking of the promotion competition will be conducted in the two empires separately, ranking from one to fifteen. The benefits of this ranking will be revealed in the finals. The finals will adopt a knockout system. Each round, there will be several teams. Byes. In the first round, there will be three seeded teams. The other 30 teams will compete, and the 15 winning teams will participate in the next round. In the second round, including three seeded teams, a total of 18 At this time, among the remaining teams, the top two teams in the promotion match will have a bye. The remaining 16 teams will decide eight to enter the third round. There are only ten teams left in the third round. The teams are still the top two teams in the rankings byes. Teams that have been byes will no longer have a second bye. After the third round, the remaining teams will be six. That is the final six of the competition. There will no longer be a bye team at this time. In the fourth round, the six teams will draw lots and compete. The final top three will be determined. The final ranking of the top three will be set for fairness, requiring two competitions through team battles and individual elimination battles. the way."
"First of all, it is an individual elimination match, which is the format of a promotion match. The three teams are played in a challenge. Both sides send seven players. Take turns to play. The loser is eliminated, and the winner continues to face the next opponent. Until the students of the other two academies are all eliminated, the winner’s academy will be promoted directly. The other two academies will have a team battle to determine another promotion place, and the final team battle will be conducted with the team that has been promoted through the individual elimination competition. finals."
Then Xingyue said, "These are all the rules of this Soul Master Elite Competition."
Yang Quan complained at this time, "My head is big for such a long time. It's so complicated."
At this time, Yang Yi said, "In fact, it is simple. As long as we win each game, we don’t have to worry about the complexity of the rules. But we must remember that we have no substitute players, so in every battle In the game, we have to keep some of our hole cards, and don’t get hurt easily in the battle."
At this time, Hong Yue slowly said, "We just have to push it horizontally."
At this time, others said, "It's really difficult for you to say this."
But although other people said it was a bit difficult, their bodies and expressions were unusually relaxed.
It took seven days for the carriage to depart from Cold Snow City and finally reached its destination this time.
The capital of the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City.
