Warriors of Douluo World

36 million gold soul coins.

The three of them split up and took only half a day to visit all the gambling establishments in the city.

At this time, Oakland College's odds have reached an astonishing 53:[-], and they are still growing!

The morning before the finals.

Wuhundian sent a special person to lead all participating teams into the resting area arranged in the arena to prepare for the next day's competition.

The large square in front of the Pope's Palace, in the center, has a diameter of 100 meters. The arena, which is made entirely of large pieces of granite, has been repaired and a large number of soul guides have been used to reinforce it.

It is so strong that it can withstand any attack from a soul king-level soul master without being damaged.

There are only a few thousand auditoriums and VIP judging seats combined. It looks much deserted than the preliminaries and promotion rounds. And those who can sit here are those who have a very respected status and have a strong influence on the mainland. people.

Except for a few extremely talented soul masters who participate in the elite competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy, they are basically between twenty and twenty-five years old.

They will graduate soon.

A considerable number of them come from small soul master families, or even commoners.

Being able to represent the academy in the finals proves that his qualifications are among the best among the younger generation. No matter whether it is Wuhun Palace, the two empires, or other sect forces, they will not give up such a piece of fat.

The lounge area where Oakland College is located.

"Brother An Lan, although you are strong enough, you must not be careless, especially when facing those three seed teams!"

"The finals adopt an elimination system. To ensure fairness and justice, opponents are determined by drawing lots in each round."

"In the first round, the three seeded teams will have a bye, and [-] teams will compete for the [-] qualifying spots. At this time, they will definitely observe the strength of each team, so I try to retain as much strength as possible."

"In the second round, No. 1 of the two major empire division promotion tournaments will have a bye. Sixteen teams will compete for the eight qualifying spots. Three seed teams are also among them. The chance of facing them is relatively high."

"In the third round, the top two teams from the two major empire divisions' promotion rounds will have a bye. Those who have already had a bye will no longer have a bye. Eight teams will compete for the four qualifying spots."

"Among these eight teams, if nothing else, the No. 1s from the two empire division rankings and the three seed teams are included. This is a tough battle!"

"The top six will determine the top three in the fourth round."

"In the fifth round, it was changed to the individual competition system of the promotion round. The top three will decide the No. 1, and the two losers will decide the No. 2 through a team battle. Then the No. 1 and the No. 2 will have a team battle. The winner is the champion.”

Dean Casa explained the finals system and the situation of each round to Ang Lee in detail.

The finals are very important. If you win the championship, it will be a huge profit.

But if something goes wrong and he misses it, most of his wealth will be wasted.

It's a big gamble.

So Dean Kasa repeatedly warned Li An.

Ang Lee invested the most money, so of course he would not be negligent.

"Don't worry, you know my strength. As long as you don't capsize, it will be easy to win the championship. What you should be thinking about now is how you can get those gold soul coins you won from betting after the finals."

"Even at the current odds, the amount you get is about 2000 million gold soul coins. Someone will definitely be jealous of such a large sum of money, and it will not be easy to get it."

Anyone who can open a business in Wuhun City without any background has long been banned.

Placing such a big bet and pulling off an upset is tantamount to grabbing a chunk of meat from those people's mouths.

It’s hard to get this money!

Dean Kasa fell into deep thought.

My cultivation level is only level [-], and I haven't even had time to absorb the seventh soul ring.

Oakland College has no background. Unlike other colleges, such as Thunder and Elephant, which have seven major sects to rely on.

"Little brother, do you have any suggestions?"

Li An pretended to think for a moment and said, "Tell me, if this money were exchanged for the Spirit Hall, the Two Great Empires, or the Shangsan Sect, would there be such a problem?"

"of course not!"

Dean Casa shook his head and said: "Even if it were ten times more, the people at the opening would not dare to say anything, but there are only three or two big cats in Oakland College, and there is no backer..."

If he can become the dean, he is certainly not a fool.

Suddenly he came to his senses: "Little brother, what do you mean, let me also find a backer?"

Finally getting to the point... Li An nodded.

"Not bad!"

Dean Kasa fell silent.

He also considered finding a backer so that he could get enough support and develop better and better.

But this is not without its drawbacks.

People can't support you in vain. No matter how much you get, you will definitely have to pay more.

He can accept it with gritted teeth, but he is afraid that the entire academy will be swallowed up and become a vassal. This is something he cannot accept!

After a while, Dean Kasa said: "Little brother, I don't know if this is your intention or your family's intention?"

Li An was startled.

Realize that the other person thinks he is soliciting him.

But in fact, he wanted to use Auckland College to get in touch with the Qibao Glazed Sect!

He explained: "Dean Kasa, you have misunderstood. It is true that I belong to the Hidden World Sect, but now I am the only one left in the whole family. I came to participate in this elite soul master competition just to find a force to join me." .”

"However, if you just show your talent and strength in the finals and win the championship, and find a force to join you, I don't know how long it will take to take power. But if you go there with a team, it will be different. Dean Casa should understand what I mean.”

Dean Kasa stared at Li An, thoughts flashing in his mind.

In the long run, with his qualifications, no matter which force he joins, he will be trained at the highest level. If he keeps it up, he will have a high chance of becoming the core of power or even the leader in the future.

Looking closer, if you join a certain force with him, Oakland College will naturally be labeled by him. With his support, the risk of being annexed is very small.

"Let me think about it..."

Although he didn't get an accurate answer, Li An knew that he was already a little moved.

Before choosing to cooperate with Oakland College, he had already had someone check it out.

Oakland College was established by Casa's teacher, a soul saint with level 74 cultivation. It took five to sixty years to develop into a high-level soul master college.

Its background is very clean, and it is not a vassal of some big force, which is somewhat similar to Shrek.

However, it is precisely because of this that the development of Oakland College has entered a bottleneck stage in recent years. It is better than most advanced soul master colleges, but there is still a gap between it and those top senior soul master colleges. It is neither better nor worse.

That’s why he chose Oakland College!

Early the next morning.

Someone came over and asked Dean Casa to draw lots.

For other colleges, especially the two colleges that won the No. 1 promotion round, the first round draw is very important. If they can draw a weaker opponent, they can easily win in the first round.

Having a good start will be very helpful for the team's mentality, and it can recharge their batteries and devote their energy to the third round of competition.

The draw is conducted by a platinum bishop.

"In the black box, there are thirty small balls, from No. 15 to No. [-], a total of fifteen groups of the same numbers. The team that draws the same numbers will be the opponent."

"The first game of Group [-], the second game of Group [-]... and so on. If you have any questions, you can ask them now. Once the lot is drawn, it cannot be changed!"

Casa and the deans or leading teachers from other colleges shook their heads, and then stepped forward one by one to start drawing lots.

Soon it was Casa's turn. He reached into the camera obscura and grabbed the small ball he encountered.

"I hope the first game will be easier..."

He retracted his arm and spread his palm. There was a number printed on the ball in his hand - five.

At this time, a tall middle-aged man next to him showed a smile. He spread his palms and the number on the ball was also five.

"Haha, it seems I'm lucky!"

Kasa's face became solemn, because this person is the leading teacher of the Star Luo Royal Academy's second team, and the Star Luo second team is the No. 1 in the Star Luo division promotion competition!

Being directly drawn into one of the strongest teams among the thirty teams can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

Shang Yun looked gloating: "Dean Casa, originally I wanted the students to have a good exchange with your Auckland College classmates. What a pity..."

Then he flashed the ball in his hand.

Number eight is shown above.

The other No. [-] ball is held by Purple Star College, whose overall strength is slightly stronger than Oakland College.

With the strength shown by Canghui Academy in the promotion competition, it would be easy to defeat this opponent.

After the lottery was drawn, under the witness of Bishop Platinum, the deans or leading teachers of the thirty colleges registered on the form, and the first-round battle list was officially determined.

"Dean, who is our opponent?"

Seeing Kasa coming back, Teacher Mo Li immediately asked.

The eleven students looked at him silently.

Kasa sighed: "Sorry, it's... the second team of Xingluo Royal Academy."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

At this time, Li An said: "Why are you looking like this? Anyway, after you come on stage, you will go straight after releasing a wave of soul skills. You don't have to fight against the Xingluo Second Team."

The expressions of the eleven team members suddenly froze.

As the former captain of the representative team, Luo Qing still felt a bit arrogant.

"Since we are on the same team, we should persevere to the end. Failure is not terrible, but the terrible thing is to admit that you have failed in your heart!"

"We are still young. If we lose this time, it does not mean we will lose in the future. As long as we work harder than those opponents, we will beat them sooner or later!"

The team members were shocked, fighting spirit emerged in their eyes, and their energy and spirit were somewhat different from before.

Li An shook his head secretly and did not attack them.

Hard work is indeed useful, but relatively speaking, talent is more important. There is no shortage of hard-working people in the world, but how many people reach the end step by step?

Not long after, the finals officially began.

The first to appear.

It's Elephant Academy and Carlite Academy.

In the promotion round of the Star Luo Division, Carlite Academy ranked No. 6. Its overall strength was pretty good, but it was a bit lacking against Elephant Academy.

There was a stalemate at the beginning, but after Hu Yanji, the captain of the Elephant Academy representative team, tore apart the defense, they only lasted less than 3 minutes and were decisively defeated.

Next comes the second and third games...

After the fourth game, Li An, who had been closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, stood up and said.

"It's our turn to take the stage!"

"and many more!"

Luo Qing called to Li An.

He looked at him very seriously and said: "I know that we have no chance of winning against the Xingluo Second Team, but what I want to say is that even if we lose, we must use all our strength to follow up happily. They have a fight.”

Then Luo Qing bowed deeply to Li An.

"please!"

The other ten team members also bowed to him.

"please!"

Li An was silent for a moment.

"As soon as you get on the ring, after the referee announces the start of the game, you listen to my instructions and seal your ears with your soul power. I will create an opportunity for you. As for how far you can achieve it, it all depends on you."

Get into the ring.

The seven members of Xingluo Team [-] on the opposite side lined up.

The referee announced loudly: "Get ready for the game. You can release your martial soul. The rules are as before. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated directly. Auckland Advanced Soul Master Academy will face the second team of Xingluo Royal Academy. Get ready!"

"Brothers, let them see our strength!"

The captain of Star Luo Team [-], Delaton, gave an order, and powerful soul power fluctuations emitted from the seven people.

Although they are not as strong as the first team, with a lineup of all soul sects, they also have four soul sects, and the captain and deputy captains are both at level 43.

The Oakland College varsity team was much shabbier.

However, the arrangement of two yellow, two purple and one black soul rings at Li An's feet stood out from the crowd.

An exclamation came from the opposite side: "Soul King? There is actually a Soul King in their team?!"

Thousand-year soul skills are far from comparable to thousand-year soul skills, so there is a dividing line between Soul Sect and Soul King. The strength gap is very large, almost belonging to two levels.

same.

The audience and VIP judges also showed interest.

I originally thought this was a clean push, but I didn't expect that the bottom-ranked Auckland College had a hidden agenda, and it suddenly became very interesting.

"Game start!"

With the referee's order.

Li An said calmly: "Be prepared."

After speaking, he took two steps forward and took a deep breath. His chest expanded like a gradually opening bellows, and a large amount of air was drawn into his body. The sound of inhalation was long and heavy.

"What is he doing?"

"Don't worry about it, Lao Ding Xiaomi. You two are flanking me. Lanlan will speed up everyone. Xiong Daxiong and Xiong Qiangzi each choose their opponents and try to resolve the battle within 30 seconds. I will deal with that Soul King. As long as he If all our teammates are dealt with, victory will be ours.”

Daraton quickly assigned tasks.

Soul power surged around the seven people, and they approached the Oakland College representative team at extremely fast speeds.

At this time, Li An moved.

He opened his mouth, his chest contracted violently, and he used his lungs to exert force, and sound waves visible to the naked eye were emitted.

"Roar!"

The Buddhist lion's roar is not only a sonic attack, but also contains mental shock.

Lao Ding Xiaomi, a member of Xingluo Team 39, is both agility and attack-type soul masters. Although they are fast, their cultivation levels are relatively low, one is level 38 and the other is level [-].

The two of them were the first to bear the brunt. After being hit by the sound wave, their vision went black and they lost consciousness.

They were immediately stunned.

The other members of Xingluo Team [-] also felt uncomfortable.

The soul power in his body collapsed, and the soul skills he had prepared for use were directly interrupted. He was more or less injured, and his ears were temporarily deafened, and everything he saw had ghost images.

At this moment, Oakland College began to counterattack!
