Douluo's Mistake

Wooden house.

Tang San pushed the door open and walked in. As he expected, Shen Yeyan was indeed here.

He was sitting at the only table in the wooden house. The Liuchao Qiankun fan he had not seen for a long time was held in his hand and played with. His long dark hair behind him was tied up casually with a blue hair tie. The sunlight outside the window ran into the room and fell on people.

Seeing the person lowering his eyes, focusing entirely on the folding fan in his hand, Tang San couldn't help but froze, and secretly praised the picturesque features in his heart.

Closing the door gently, he walked to the chair next to Shen Yeyan and sat down, but the man acted as if he hadn't seen him and just opened and closed the Liuchao Qiankun fan.

Just in response to that sentence, good-looking people look good no matter what they do. Just watching Shen Yeyan flipping through this folding fan, Tang San felt as if he could get drunk in this painting.

Although he was willing to keep watching like this, Tang San's purpose of coming today was indeed not that - well, I wanted to see if his senior brother was serious (bushi).

Coughing lightly in an attempt to attract people's attention, Tang San called tentatively: "Ahem, senior brother..."

Shen Yeyan was indifferent.

Tang San was not discouraged, he just kept talking to the people around him, but it was obviously his one-man show, and the other person didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Senior brother, I just asked the teacher to find out about the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition. The schedule sounds quite troublesome."

"The teacher is very different now than before. In the past, he was like a wooden doll with only occasional mood swings. Now he is more like a living person."

"That's right. The matter of martial soul mutation was resolved half a year ago, and now we have talked it over with Teacher Erlong, so it is naturally different."

"Senior brother, is your injury feeling better? The wound looked quite deep when I bandaged it last time."

"Hey, senior brother, where did you buy the pastry you gave me before? Although it is a little sweeter...but it is still delicious."

"Well... um... senior brother, you should break through level [-] soon, right? Have you ever thought about what kind of soul ring you want to hunt?"

Until the end, Tang San really couldn't think of anything else to say, so he pursed his lips and asked as if he had finally made up his mind: "Senior brother, do you agree?"

Hearing this, Shen Yeyan moved his hands. This time he did not ignore Tang San, but glanced at him lightly: "What are you doing in Spring and Autumn Dream?"

Seeing that Shen Yeyan was still willing to pay attention to him, Tang San was slightly relieved in his heart, and then said: "Then senior brother won't reject me anymore, right?"

Shen Yeyan continued to remain silent, but this time, he put away the Liuchao Qiankun fan.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Tang San couldn't help it anymore.

He sat a little closer to Shen Yeyan.

The senior brother just glanced at him and didn't say anything to stop him, so he shouldn't be angry.

After several moves, Tang San seemed to be probing for something. He didn't stop until the end, and kept leaning towards Shen Yeyan.

Finally, it almost sticks to the person's body.

Really unable to stand this man, Shen Yeyan couldn't help but stand up and straighten his clothes, glared at the culprit again, and walked straight out the door.

Tang San quickly pulled his sleeve.

"Brother..."

Wrinkling his eyebrows, Shen Yeyan looked back at Tang San, then lowered his eyebrows, his eyes lingering on the hand that was clutching his sleeve for a moment.

He didn't speak, and looked at the owner of the hand quietly, as if he was expecting something, but it didn't seem like that was the case.

"Senior brother." The man called Shen Yeyan again. He looked nervous, but still did not let go of his hand holding his sleeve, "Can I... chase you?"

God knows how much strength he used to control his emotions from overflowing.

Shen Yeyan squinted his eyes, looked silently at the lips that turned white due to nervousness, and smiled with unknown meaning.

It could be seen with the naked eye that Tang San became even more nervous, with a bit of uneasiness and fear, and the hand holding his sleeves loosened slightly.

Gee.

He was always there when he shouldn't be there, but left when he should be there. It's really...

Tang Hao, did you do this on purpose?

Silent for a moment, Shen Yeyan turned his head and looked out the window.

There, the green branches were lifted up by the wind, and the clattering sound showed their dissatisfaction.

The wind was also sighing, as if it could sense everything, and actually stopped playing with the branches.

A petal fluttered and landed on the top of the branch.

The sun shines on it.

Following Shen Yeyan's gaze, Tang San loosened his tight lips, let go of the man's sleeves, and smoothed out the wrinkles he had made when leaving.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and his restless mood seemed to be cured. Tang San calmed down and spoke in a calm and serious tone.

"Senior brother, can I chase you?"

This time Shen Yeyan answered him.

Before he finished speaking, he started walking towards the door.

"It's your own brain. Can I stop you from doing what you want to do?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Yeyan turned sideways and glanced at the stunned Tang San, then pushed the door open.

Dazzling white light flashed in, and sunlight filled the wooden house.

Looking at the person's leaving figure, Tang San realized later.

"Senior brother, no, are you agreeing or not..."

No matter what, his body had already reacted first, and before his brain could react, his body quickly followed him.

Anyway—

They still have a long time.

------------------

"Everyone is here. Let me briefly explain to you the specific schedule of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition."

The master was surrounded by everyone from Shrek in a semi-arc shape, and four substitutes were also present.

The Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition is not just a competition between soul master schools, but even a major event in the entire soul master world. From the preliminaries, to the promotion rounds, to the final finals, it will take up to three months.

Shen Yeyan patted the sleepy Ma Hongjun next to him on the head: "Don't take it lightly. Rules are restrictions, but they are also advantages that can be used. Be careful of others taking advantage of you and losing all your previous achievements."

Ma Hongjun stuck out his tongue, not daring to make any excuses anymore.

Then, the master's voice came slowly.

"The students sent by participating colleges in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition must be under 25 years old; during the competition, they must avoid injuring or maiming their opponents, let alone killing them. Otherwise, in addition to bearing corresponding losses, the college will also be expelled Soul Master Competition."

Shen Yeyan added on the side: "In addition to these two rigid rules, there are some more standardized rules. Also, weapons other than martial arts are not allowed to be used."

As he said that, he gave Tang San a focused look.

Tang San:"……"

Not allowed to use concealed weapons?Okay, but senior brother, why are you looking at me so strangely? ? ?

"Among the two empires, the total number of advanced soul master academies totals approximately one hundred, and each academy has a quota. Each of the two empires has an official senior soul master academy, which will occupy two quotas. , divided into the main team and the deputy team.”

"The home team will directly advance to the finals, and the vice team will participate in the preliminaries together with the soul master teams from other colleges."

"The qualifiers are divided into divisions. Our Tiandou Empire conducts preliminaries based on divisions with Tiandou City as the center. Counting the Tiandou City division, there are a total of six qualifier divisions. In addition to one team that has been sent to the finals, these six divisions Fifteen participating places will be competed for. Among them, there are five places that qualify for the Tiandou City division, and there are thirty soul master teams that have passed the qualifiers and entered the next stage."

"Before participating in the finals, there is also a promotion match to rank the teams that have entered the finals, and the order of appearance in the finals will be determined based on the ranking."

"The preliminaries will be conducted in the form of team battles. It is stipulated that only seven people can play in a single round-robin format. The team with the highest winning points in each preliminaries division will enter the promotion round. Although seven students will still be sent to participate in the promotion round, it will be a round-robin competition. Compete for victory.”

"There will be a total of 33 participating teams in the finals, and lots will be drawn for the knockout rounds."

Dai Mubai was stunned when he heard this: "Shouldn't it be 32?"

"There is also a Spirit Hall." Shen Yeyan couldn't help but sneered, "Both empires have seed teams, how could they not have one?"

The master was stunned, glanced at Shen Yeyan, and continued to explain: "Ayan is right. Although Wuhun Palace is not an advanced soul master academy, it also has its own specialized institution to train soul masters. This team will be your future The strongest competitor.”

"Can they not be strong? They are the pinnacle of the younger generation in Wuhun Palace." Shen Yeyan snorted and said lightly.

The rest looked at each other.

But what showed in their eyes was not worry, but strong curiosity and excitement.

Xiao Wu understood where Shen Yeyan's dissatisfaction came from, and her heart was full of disgust. She wished she could pull the Wuhundian team down from the top spot.

Suppressing the anger at that moment, Shen Yeyan continued to calm down his emotions in his heart.

His left hand pressed against the layers of bluesilver grass, tending to become tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, another hand covered the back of Shen Yeyan's hand, and the warm feeling was vivid on the cold skin.

It was Tang San sitting next to him, looking at him worriedly.

They were not far apart, and no one noticed their little move.

The restlessness in his heart completely disappeared in this moment. Shen Yeyan withdrew his hand expressionlessly. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tang San's slightly disappointed eyes and curled his lips slightly.

"The finals adopt a knockout system. In each round, several teams will have a bye."

"In the first round, the three seeded teams will naturally get a bye. In the second round, including the three seeded teams, there will be a total of eighteen teams. The two top teams in the promotion round will have a bye. In the third round, only Ten teams were placed, and the top two teams still received a bye. The teams that had already received a bye would not receive a second bye. In the fourth round, the six teams drew lots to determine the final top three. The final ranking of the top three was determined for the sake of fairness. , two methods of competition are required.”

"The first thing to be done is the individual elimination battle, which is a wheel battle. The three teams compete in a knock-down format, with each team sending seven players to take turns playing until all the students from the other two colleges are eliminated, and the winner college advances directly. The other two The academy will conduct a team battle to determine the other promotion position, and the team that has previously advanced through the individual elimination round will have a final team battle final.”

After listening to the entire schedule, Ma Hongjun looked confused: "Master, why is this game so complicated? I'm a little dizzy."

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition is hosted by the imperial royal families of Tiandou and Xingluo, and co-organized by Wuhun Palace. It is the largest martial soul competition in the soul master world." Shen Yeyan glanced at Ma Hongjun helplessly, "The schedule Of course it’s more complicated, it’s amazing if you can understand it.”

Dai Mubai rolled his eyes at others: "It doesn't matter if it's complicated or not, just keep winning, isn't it?"

The master nodded in agreement: "Yes, as long as you have absolute strength, there is nothing to worry about. By the way, in the qualifiers, only three of you eight little monsters can play at the same time."

"Ah? Only three?" Xiao Wu was a little surprised.

"That's right, and Rongrong will definitely not play. I will give her special training." The master just looked at Xiao Wu and continued, "The four substitutes will definitely play. You can discuss the remaining three places among yourselves. Arrange according to the opponent’s lineup.”

Tang San hesitated for a moment: "Then... senior brother will definitely not be able to play, your injury is not healed yet."

Shen Yeyan: "..."

Even if he is a level 49 soul sect who has been injured for a hundred days, when the injury is completely healed, he will almost reach the top six in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.

But apart from the injury, it was really difficult for him to play in the qualifiers, and his ability to preserve his strength would naturally surprise his opponents.

Nodding indifferently, Shen Yeyan turned to meet Tang San's gaze, and he paused: "I'll wait for the promotion match."

In this way, there are only six people left.

Dai Mubai thought for a while: "Well... without Brother Ye Yan, the mistress will definitely have to play."

Others agreed.

In the end, Tang San made the final decision: "Then it will be me, Mubai and Xiao Wu. The three of us will go on the field. If the opponent is stronger, we will add Xiao Ao."

The master patted his proud disciple on the shoulder: "That's it. You are responsible for the tactical arrangements on the field, and you decide the candidates for the competition."

Tang San nodded in agreement.

Although he is not participating in the qualifiers, Shen Yeyan is still a little worried, not because of the competition, but...

The Shrek school uniform with this weird color scheme, this shit green color is really hard to describe.

He could already foresee how embarrassed they would be when they were ridiculed on the day of the game.

Gan!

Flanders, this unreliable dean!

Tang San would always focus on Shen Yeyan for a moment, and naturally noticed that he was agitated for a moment.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Tang San asked in a low voice.

After looking at him, Shen Yeyan couldn't help but said, "Master, can you tell Dean Fu that the color of our school uniforms can't be changed?!"

When everyone in Shrek heard this, they were suddenly enlightened and looked at the master at the same time.

They have been dissatisfied with this school uniform for a long time!

The master coughed awkwardly: "He told me yesterday that there will be brand new school uniforms for you, specially customized clothes for the competition."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yeyan still had an ominous premonition. He always felt that Flanders was not such a kind person.

In the next few days, the Shrek Academy team members began to practice tactics under the leadership of the master.Especially the four newcomers who spend every day in the running-in.
