Chapter 291: The First Match of the Third Round: Tianshui vs. Chihuo
With the completion of all the games in the second round, plus the two teams that had byes, the list of the top ten teams has been released.

Among them, there are five academies of the Tiandou Empire, four of the Xingluo Royal Academy, and the remaining one is the Wuhun Hall Academy team.

The third round of the competition will continue after a day of rest.

In the third round, the second place teams in the two Empire Division qualifying matches will have a bye.

The remaining eight teams compete for four spots.

"It felt so fast, all of a sudden there were only ten teams left."

On the way back to the hotel, Ning Rongrong said with some emotion that the competition system of the finals is different from that of the preliminaries and qualifying rounds.

There is no need to play against every team once, which results in the game progressing very quickly.

It was so fast that everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

"I think second place in the promotion tournament is the best, right?"

"We can directly have a bye in the third round. You know, the teams that made it to the top ten in the third round are all relatively strong. In this way, if we have a bye in this round, won't we be able to secure a place in the top six?"

Ning Rongrong thought that Kamikaze Academy would have a bye in the game the day after tomorrow, and suddenly thought of this question.

The one who gets a bye in the third round should be the first place in the promotion match, right?

“Generally speaking, the earlier the bye is, the better, so the top three seeded teams all get a bye in the first round, and the first place in the promotion tournament gets a bye in the second round.”

"Because, if you can't make it through the first two rounds, it will be useless to give you a bye in the third round," Teacher Zhou explained.

"But, generally speaking, those who can get the top two in the promotion competition shouldn't be unable to pass the first and second rounds, right?"

"That's hard to say. What if you meet the number one from another Empire Division in the first round? If the strengths are similar, it's hard to say who will win or lose. That's why the earlier you get a bye, the better."

When everyone heard this explanation, they thought it made sense and didn't dwell on it too much.

Soon everyone returned to the hotel. Teacher Zhou reminded everyone as usual to get a good rest tomorrow and prepare for the competition the day after tomorrow, and then the group dismissed.

Tomorrow is a day of rest, and everyone is not going out to play like before, but staying in the room to practice.

During the practice, a day passed in a flash and the third round of competition was about to begin.

Early in the morning, everyone went to the competition venue under the leadership of Teacher Zhou.

Due to the reduction in the number of colleges, the lottery results came out all at once.

Tianshui College versus Chihuo College.

Thunder Academy vs. Tiandou Royal Academy.

"It's another battle between water and fire."

The academies in the Tiandou Empire were somewhat surprised when they saw the result of the draw.

However, Tianshui College and Chihuo College had already fought against each other twice before, so they were not very interested.

On the contrary, the academy on the Xingluo Empire side was more interested. They felt that the two academies were of similar strength and had mutually reinforcing and counteracting properties, so it should be a good matchup.

"Senior Huowu, I didn't expect that we would face each other again."

"It seems we are quite destined to be together."

In the rest area of ​​Tianshui College, Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu smiled at each other and spoke to each other.

In fact, Huo Wu still has a strong desire to win, but in the promotion match, when Ning Rongrong descended a giant tower hundreds of meters high and defeated her with absolute power, she was more convinced of Ning Rongrong.

If the opponent defeated her by some trick or by being immune to fire, she would definitely not admit defeat.

"Come to think of it, if I hadn't drawn Blazing Academy this time, I would have thought that you, Huo Wu, would also be a student of our Tianshui Academy."

"That's right! After all, you've been with us all this time."

"How about you just stand on our side when the game starts, Huo Wu."

At this time, Shui Yue'er, Qiu Ruoshui and others also came over to Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu. "That won't do! 8 against 6, my brother and the others are too pitiful. If you can replace Ling Xue, I can consider it."

"Okay, stop joking around, the game is about to start, and we're the first one, so let's go on stage now."

Seeing that everyone was still playing, Teacher Zhou had to come over and remind everyone.

The match between Tianshui College and Chihuo College is the first game of the third round.

In this match, Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Yue'er did not play.

After arranging the personnel, everyone started to go on stage. The two academies entered from the left and right sides of the competition venue respectively.

And Huo Wu actually walked together with the Tianshui College students and entered the competition venue from the same passage.

When the major academies of the Xingluo Empire saw eight people coming up from Tianshui College, they all looked puzzled.

"Why is there one more person at Tianshui College?"

"Did you get in by mistake?"

"Look at Blazing Academy, there are only 6 people."

The Blazing Academy that came on from the other side later had only 6 people, which made the people of the Xingluo Empire even more confused.

"Over at Tianshui College, there is a team uniform that is not from Tianshui, but from Chihuo College."

But they soon saw clearly that Huo Wu's uniform was obviously different from that of Tianshui College.

Now it became clear what had happened.

"What's going on? Isn't that the vice-captain of Blazing Academy in Tianshui?"

"Why did she end up at Tianshui College?"

At the same time, some people recognized Huo Wu as the vice-captain of Chihuo Academy. They had seen her in the previous two rounds of competition.

However, under the watchful eyes of the referee, Huo Wu quickly walked to the Chihuo Academy, and only then did the referee announce the start of the game.

As soon as the game started, Ning Rongrong quickly enlarged the Glazed Tower, covering herself, Xuewu and Lu Nan, and then Xuewu began to dance.

Yu Hairou and others were guarding outside the Glazed Tower.

Over at Chihuo Academy, Huo Wushuang and the others immediately rushed over.

The spirit skills of water and fire began to clash instantly, and water vapor began to spread around the glazed tower.

Lu Nan inside also used his water attribute ability at this time and began to create a large amount of fog.

Soon the fog filled the entire interior of the glazed tower.

"That's okay Rongrong."

Lu Nan reminded, and then Ning Rongrong took back the glazed tower.

The moment the glazed tower disappeared, the large amount of fog was no longer restricted and spread out violently.

In just a few seconds, the entire competition venue was shrouded in fog.

The people watching the game were stunned. What was going on? They were not allowed to watch the game?

The people from Chihuo Academy who were in the fog immediately stopped their attack and looked around vigilantly.

After a while, everyone discovered that there was a small dark cloud hovering above the fog, and the cloud was still expanding.

"Whether it's the fog or this dark cloud, they are all water-attributed powers."

"What is Tianshui College doing?"
