Chapter 288 Finals Round
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Ning Rongrong and others also wandered around the Wuhun City.
However, this Wuhun City is obviously a city belonging to soul masters, and things related to soul masters are everywhere.
Even the books in the bookstore don’t have the types of books that ordinary people read.
Moreover, there are not many shops, and the flow of people on the streets is not very large, and ordinary people are even rarer.
However, the scenery of Wuhun City is still good, so Ning Rongrong and others will not feel bored when sightseeing.
However, the competition is about to start today, and there is obviously no time for them to tour the Wuhun City.
Early in the morning, Teacher Zhou led everyone from Tianshui College and followed people from other colleges to the competition venue.
The competition venue for the first four rounds is located in the center of the Spirit Hall, and the Pope's Palace is not far ahead.
During the fifth round, the competition will be held in front of the Pope's Palace, which is already part of the Pope's Palace. Even the Pope himself will be present.
After arriving at the competition venue, Teacher Zhou led everyone from Tianshui College to the rest area assigned to Tianshui College.
Each college has a dedicated rest area, which is built around the entire circular competition venue and provides a great place to watch the game.
As soon as they arrived at the rest area, the relevant person in charge came to inform them that the draw was about to begin.
When Ning Rongrong heard this, she stood up on her own and followed the staff to the place where the lottery was drawn.
Teacher Zhou thought for a moment, asked everyone to rest first, and then followed over.
As expected, when they arrived at the place where the lottery was drawn, all the people who came were teachers from various colleges, with only Ning Rongrong as a student.
But she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She walked up directly and said that she was there to draw lots on behalf of Tianshui College.
The staff member looked at the Tianshui College uniform on Ning Rongrong, then looked at the teacher not far behind her who was obviously dressed in Tianshui College uniform, then nodded and let her draw lots.
"Fabia College vs. Tianshui College!"
"Fabia College?"
"No way! Is Tianshui College so lucky?"
"I actually got drawn to Fabia College, which ranked last in the promotion round!"
The teachers around looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise. You know, the first round of the competition is very crucial. If you lose, you will be eliminated immediately.
Only if you win will you be eligible to enter the second round.
So, if you draw a weaker college in the first round, you can basically advance to the second round.
Fabia Academy ranked only one place higher than Shrek Academy, third from the bottom, and was the weakest one. It could be said that it was the type that most academies wanted to draw.
Now this college has been drawn by Tianshui College!
Not to mention that Tianshui College was the first in the promotion match and had a bye in the second round.
In other words, before the competition even started, Tianshui College had already secured its place in the third round.
"I wonder if it's too late to go back and ask the lucky players in our team to come draw lots?"
Many people actually had this idea. They also wanted to follow the example of Tianshui College and send the luckiest player in their team to draw lots.
They didn't expect that Tianshui College was so cunning that they actually let students draw lots. In the past, it was their teachers who did it, so they had never considered this issue before the game.
Teacher Zhou at the back was also quite excited and kept praising Ning Rongrong for her good luck.
They ignored the others who looked at them with jealous eyes and took Ning Rongrong back. When they returned to the rest area of Tianshui College, they told everyone the good news.
"You can keep your form for the next game. Plus, we have a bye in the second round, so we can get more rest time to prepare for the third round."
Teacher Zhou said happily.
"I told you I have good luck!" Ning Rongrong put one hand on her waist and made a "Yeah" gesture to everyone with the other hand. Her face was full of pride. Being able to draw such a good lot was enough to show that she was very lucky.
"Okay, now let's talk about the roster for the first round. In order to prevent the Xingluo Empire's academy from knowing our strength so early, only Ning Rongrong, Xuewu, and Yu Hairou who are above level 41 will play this time. The rest are Shui Yueer, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, and Shen Liuyu."
Fabia Academy only has one Soul Master, so three Soul Masters will be enough to deal with it.
"Rongrong doesn't need to take action. Just stand behind. If our side is at a disadvantage, you can use your auxiliary ability to assist Hairou."
Between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, Teacher Zhou finally chose Ning Rongrong, who had auxiliary abilities, as a guarantee to ensure victory in the first round.
If they were really at a disadvantage against Fabia Academy, then Ning Rongrong had only exposed her supporting ability.
Let them mistakenly think that Ning Rongrong is an auxiliary soul master, so that we can catch them by surprise then.
Although it was a bit uncomfortable that she couldn't take a shot on the court, Ning Rongrong still chose to accept it. After all, this situation had happened many times during the preliminaries, and she was barely used to it.
The first round of the competition began soon after, and the person presiding over the competition was a cardinal from the Spirit Hall.
The two sides in the first game were of similar strength and fought back and forth, but not very strongly, and the game lasted for more than twenty minutes.
The second game still did not get Tianshui College's turn.
It was not until the fourth game that it was finally Tianshui College's turn to play against Fabia College.
As one of the five element academies of the Tiandou Empire, the academies on the Xingluo Empire's side have also become more serious.
When Ning Rongrong and others came on stage, the people from various academies of the Xingluo Empire were not too surprised.
"Three Soul Masters, similar to previous years." A teacher whispered.
The Five Elements Academy teams of the Tiandou Empire usually have three or four Soul Masters, though sometimes there may be one less or one more.
Now they saw that there were three Soul Masters from Tianshui College on the field, and they were all relatively calm. This was within their expectations.
The several powerful academies on their side have about the same number of Soul Sects, so it is not difficult to defeat them.
Because Fabia College only had one level 41 Soul Master, they lost to Tianshui College in less than ten minutes, and Ning Rongrong did not take any action.
The end of this game also means that Tianshui College has officially entered the third round.
After all the matches in the first round were over, as expected, all four elemental academies present advanced, and even the last-placed Shrek Academy advanced to the second round.
However, as for Shrek Academy, everyone just lamented its good luck that it was drawn into the last-placed academy in the promotion round.
There is a day of rest after each round of competition. After a day of rest, the second round of competition will soon begin.
Although Tianshui College had a bye on this day, everyone still went to the venue to watch the game.
After all, the three seeded teams only had a bye in the first round, and they will have to play from the second round.
This is a good opportunity to observe the strength of the three seeded teams.
