Chapter 75.1: The Start of the Tournament
Privilege? The disciples from the outer courtyard looked at Wang Yan in astonishment.
Wang Yan nodded. Right! Dont forget, our Shrek Academy reigns as the number one academy across the entire continent. When were we not the champions of a tournament? Because of that, well be able to complete our registrations regardless of when we arrive. However, the inner courtyard disciples are also Guardians, and many of them are carrying out assignments in the outside world, so theyll definitely need some time to rush over. We wont meet any strong opponents in the first few matches, so Im confident therell be no problem with your strength. Now, Ill explain the rules of the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Duelling Tournament.
After putting the students from the outer courtyard at ease, Wang Yan explained calmly, The Continental Advanced Academy Soul Duelling Tournament is the ultimate competition for the various academies around the world. It has fair and equitable rules that test the total strength of each academys students.
Because of that, the manners in which we compete are extremely plentiful and lively. Im going to explain some of them today. There are a total of a hundred and thirty three advanced soul master and soul engineering academies whove come today, and all of them are staying in this hotel. The first round of the preliminaries is a direct elimination match. In other words, the losing party will be directly eliminated. The first round will be a 7v7 team fight. The lot-drawing for which will be carried out tomorrow. I reckon that itll take three days for the first round to be finished.
Once the first round is finished, well be split into groups. Each group will have eight or nine teams, and will undergo a round-robin tournament. The rules for each of the round-robin matches will be randomly chosen from one of three situations: Firstly, Single Elimination. Secondly, a 3-man, 2-man, and 2-man Coordination Match. And lastly, a 7v7 Team Fight. This will test the comprehensive strength of every team. Every match will have a lot-drawing preceding the match, and this will determine which situation will be used for that match. This is the best way to test your strength as a whole.
Ill explain the specifics of these matches after you get through the first round. Right now, youll have to face your opponents in the first round. After you finish that, well be able to get into the elimination round and wait for our backup. Xiaotao and the rest wont be able to make it in time, so we can only rely on you guys to win this no matter what. After the elimination round, you wont have to be so nervous about the later matches. Furthermore, we could have our backups coming at any time. Even if they arent able to make it in time, Xiaotao and the rest will be able to recover their strength within half a month, at the very most. And after all, were still the number one team.
The moment they heard that the first round was an elimination round, everyones faces clearly turned serious. If Shrek Academy were to take their leave in the first round of the Continental Advanced Soul Duelling Tournament, they would become a joke.
Yet, Wang Yan was extremely confident. Without revealing any worry at all, he smiled slightly. What are you guys doing? Are you nervous? You dont need to be nervous at all. After the tournament starts, youll realise that your opponents are far far weaker than what you were expecting. Youve forgotten one thing; youre the elites whove been chosen from Shrek Academy. Even if youre the preparatory team, the fact that youve been chosen to represent Shrek Academy on this platform has proved that youve got enough strength. Moreover, this strength is something that the other academies will never be able to compare against. You cant assume that your opponents from the Continental Advanced Soul Duelling Tournament will be as strong as the powerful enemies youve faced during your advancement tests!
