The second round of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has ended, and forty-two teams have entered the third round. Among them, thirty-two teams can enter the round robin. It'll all depend on how they perform in the third round. If they win, they will definitely enter the round-robin stage. If they lose, they still have a chance to fight for small points. After the first two rounds of games, some weaker teams have begun to show signs of fatigue even if they have qualified. Player injuries, reductions in personnel, etc. are all big problems for them. The third round of the elimination match of the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition was so brutal that it was beyond many people's expectations. In order to gain a place in the round-robin tournament, many matches were fought fiercely. After one round, five people died and more than twenty people were seriously injured. On average, there were casualties in every match. For this reason, many teams raised objections to the organizing committee of the competition and strongly questioned the referee's ability to control the game. The Sun-Moon Empire officials were also a little troubled by this and had to issue an announcement, promising that in the next games, the referee would control the pace of the game as much as possible to reduce casualties. After the third round of competition, they needed to rest for a day before the round-robin draw ceremony could be held. This day was also the day when the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition in the underground world officially started. When Ye Qianan came to Qingse Hotel again, Chen An was already waiting at the door in person. "You're here." When Chen An saw Ye Qian'an, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted him respectfully. "Are you prepared for everything I asked you to do?" Ye Qian'an nodded slightly. Chen An hurriedly said, "Don't worry, everything is ready. And I haven't told anyone that you are coming to participate in the competition. Please come with me to the VIP room to rest first, and I will show you the organized information." "Let's go." Ye Qian responded. Chen An took him to a large lounge next to the Golden Hall on the underground floor, asked his men to bring various fruits and drinks, and took out a document and handed it to Ye Qian'an.
Ye Qian took the document and looked at it for a few seconds, then threw it aside and asked, "What are we competing for today?" Chen An hurriedly said, "This round is about the production of soul guides. The higher the quality, the better. Because it is the first round, and the materials for the soul guides are provided by us, and the soul guides can take them away, so this round will be more demanding and have a higher threshold. This round is about the production of milk bottles, and it is required to complete the production of at least a level three milk bottle within three hours. If you can't complete it, you will be eliminated." "A milk bottle? That's interesting. Go out and do your work. Come and tell me when the game is about to start." Ye Qian nodded thoughtfully. "Yes." Chen An agreed and left the lounge. Chen An is the chief referee and he also has to arrange the competition, so he is naturally very busy. The one who comes to inform Ye Qian'an that the competition is about to begin is his right-hand man. Ye Qian'an walked into the Golden Hall. Many people turned their eyes away when they saw him, not daring to look at him. Not to mention the VIP gamblers who valued their lives, even the staff of the Golden Hall immediately changed their expressions when they saw Ye Qian'an, and tried to be as respectful as possible. Under the guidance of Chen An's subordinates, Ye Qian'an was invited directly to the central round stage and was arranged in a more conspicuous place. The silver-white tabletop of the metal table did not reflect any light under the bright light. In addition to various equipment for making soul guides, a total of ten different metals were presented on the soul guide production table. "Silence. The competition will officially begin in five minutes. I am the chief referee of this round. Let me repeat the rules of the competition. All guests in the Golden Hall are not allowed to make any noise while the soul masters are making soul guides. Those who violate this rule will be expelled." "Attention, soul guides. I will now announce the content of this round of competition. This round of competition is about the production of soul guides. You are required to make at least one level three milk bottle. If you can complete a milk bottle above level four, then you will be exempted from the next round and directly enter the third round of the main competition. The competition time is three hours. Those who fail to complete will be eliminated. Please be prepared." Five minutes passed in a flash, and with the sound of Chen Goodbye, the competition began. The entire golden hall suddenly became quiet, and all soul instructors immediately began to get busy. Ye Qian'an picked up a piece of suitable metal and began to make the outer shell of the milk bottle. For other soul guides, the outer shell is mainly used for protection and decoration, but the milk bottle is different. Every process of making the milk bottle should focus on preventing the loss of soul power. Therefore, the requirements for the outer shell are very strict. The sealing must be excellent, and most parts must be molded in one piece. For other people, soul-guided stamping equipment is often needed to assist in forming the metal. However, for Ye Qian, who is a blacksmith, he can sense everything about the metal, and the same metal can also change shape according to his thoughts. The metal in Ye Qian'an's hands seemed to have life. Under his control, it slowly deformed and stretched. His movements were light and smooth, like an artist carefully carving his own work. Every squeeze and stretch was just right. In his hands, the metal gradually took on the perfect shape of a milk bottle shell without a single flaw. When he was at the Royal Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire, Ye Qian'an also learned about baby bottles. The reason why the production process of baby bottles is complicated and difficult is that in addition to the requirements for the outer shell, the internal requirements are also very precise. First of all, it requires two core arrays, one is the energy-gathering core array, and the other is the storage core array. When the soul master injects soul power, the soul power is first introduced through the energy-gathering core array, and then stored in the extremely airtight storage core array. This is the only way to complete the most important production. Then the two core arrays must be constructed and connected, and there must not be any deviation during the process. However, after Ye Qian'an fully mastered the inheritance of Alex, some magic circles could completely replace it, and the effects were better than the original ones. Originally, he only needed to chant the spell, but now he was participating in a competition after all, so the magic circle could only be carved out. Ye Qian'an took a deep breath and began to accurately carve a magic circle inside the already formed shell. His eyes were focused and determined, and the carving knife in his hand was like a nimble paintbrush, moving smoothly across the metal surface. Every line contained his deep understanding and precise grasp of the magic circle, without any hesitation or deviation. As time went by, Ye Qian'an successfully completed the carving of the first magic circle. He paused for a moment, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he quickly began to carve the second magic circle. During the carving process, Ye Qian'an also cleverly merged and connected the two magic circles to make them more compact and efficient. When the two magic circles were completed, Ye Qian'an began the final debugging and integration. He slowly injected his soul power into the bottle, carefully feeling the operation of the magic circle. If there was any discomfort or instability, he would immediately make adjustments and optimizations. Unlike traditional soul mentors, the magic circle carved by Ye Qian'an was on the outside, which made his bottle look different in appearance. In a short while, an exquisite purple-gold bottle was completed.
Ye Qian'an waved his hand, called the judge behind him, and handed over his work. The referee held his milk bottle and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Ye. I need to ask the chief referee to supervise the test. Only after it is completed can your score be determined." Ye Qian waved his hand and let him go. Soon, Chen An came over, holding Ye Qi'an's milk bottle. At this moment, he was completely shocked. He came to Ye Qi'an and whispered, "Is this your work?" Then he handed over the milk bottle made by Ye Qi'an. Ye Qi'an took the milk bottle and nodded. Chen An took a deep breath, his eyes full of respect: "It's amazing, I never thought that a soul guide could carve a formation on the outside." Ye Qi'an smiled slightly and said, "Then I can pass the test, right?" "Of course." Chen An said without hesitation, "After seeing your masterpiece today, I am more and more confident that you will represent our Xishui League in the battle. Your milk bottle is not equipped with a self-destruct device, right?" "If someone touches the formation, the original formation will be completely reversed, and this bottle will become a bomb." Ye Qian'an nodded slightly. Chen An was shocked when he heard what Ye Qian'an said, but at the same time, he was even more impressed by Ye Qian'an's skills and thoughts. He carefully took the bottle and said to Ye Qian'an, "Your work is undoubtedly the best so far. It is no surprise that you will enter the next round." "I'll give that to you to play with." Ye Qian said. "Give it to me?" Chen An was surprised. Ye Qian said calmly: "Give me the qualification certificate to enter the next round, I want to go back." Chen An took a deep breath, and looked at Ye Qian'an with a look that showed something other than respect: "I am grateful for your kindness. Don't worry, I will do my best to do everything you ask me to do." Ye Qian waved his hand and said, "It is within your authority to get me more rare metals." "Yes, I will definitely help you collect various rare metals." Chen An agreed without hesitation. Ye Qian'an raised his hand and swept the remaining three rare metals on the production table into his storage ring. Then he took the qualification certificate for entering the next round from Chen An, and then he stepped down from the competition stage and left the Qingse Hotel. ......... In the early morning, the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition finally entered the round-robin stage, and the previous chaotic situation due to the large number of participating teams came to an end. In the round-robin tournament, strong teams will begin to compete against each other. Early in the morning, a large number of people had gathered in the suburbs where the competition venue was located, waiting for the start of today's competition. The rules of the round-robin tournament are obviously not as straightforward as those of the previous knockout tournament. All 32 teams entering the round-robin tournament will be divided into four groups, with eight teams in each group playing a single round-robin tournament. In other words, each team will play one match against the other seven teams in the same group. In the round-robin tournament, two groups of teams will play four games each every day. On the second day, the other two groups will play four games each in the morning and afternoon. The entire round-robin tournament will last about fourteen days. The top two teams from each group will advance to the final stage. The final stage will be decided through three rounds of eight to four, four to two, and the final. Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy were placed in the first group. The other five teams that were able to stand out from the elimination rounds were naturally not easy to deal with. This was truly a death group! The first game of the first round of the round-robin tournament today was a fierce competition between Tang Sect and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The rest area next to the competition stage of the All-Continent Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition has been renovated in just two days, leaving only the original VIP rest area. The rest area has been redecorated, and the original wooden benches have been turned into comfortable sofas. After all, this place only needs to receive eight teams every day, so it will no longer feel crowded. At this time, the first group of eight teams participating in the morning competition had all arrived. The Tang Sect Team was sitting next to the Shrek Team. After coming here, Ye Qian'an did not keep his eyes on the Tang Sect Team. The pride on Ye Qian'an's face seemed to be a little stronger than before. Even if you were just slightly close to him, you could feel the murderous aura on him. On the podium, Juzi pushed the Regent Xu Tianran to the main seat, helped him tidy up his clothes, and then sat gently beside him. Xu Tianran took one of her hands and placed it on his leg, patting it gently. "Today's first round is a competition between the Sun Moon Team and the Tang Sect. It should be very interesting." Xu Tianran said with a smile. Orange smiled and said, "Really? Then our Sun and Moon team will definitely win the first battle." Xu Tianran turned his head and glanced at the Master of Mingde Hall not far away, and said, "What does Master Hongchen think?"
Jing Hongchen frowned and said, "It's hard to say. This is just a round-robin tournament. For both teams, even if they lose this game, they will not be eliminated. It's hard to say whether both sides will go all out. If they go all out, the result of the game is also hard to say. The final victory or defeat will appear in the team competition. For teams with similar strength, the individual elimination tournament is just a process of weakening the opponent's strength and strengthening their own momentum, paving the way for the team competition." Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Didn't the Red Dust Hall Master arrange tactics for our Sun and Moon Team?" Jing Hongchen smiled slightly and said, "If the young eagle doesn't take off on its own, its wings will never be strong. Let them do it on their own. In the past few years, my grandson and granddaughter have put in a lot of effort in order to defeat Shrek, Tangmen and others in this competition. I am actually looking forward to this game, although I don't want them to fight with all their strength at this time." Xu Tianran said: "After hearing what Master Hongchen said, I am even more interested in this battle. Let's wait and see." At this time, the referee had already entered the arena. After announcing the rules of the round-robin tournament, he finally said, "The first match of the first group of the round-robin tournament, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team will face the Tang Sect team. Players from both teams will enter the waiting area. Players for the first match of the individual competition will come on stage." ………(End of chapter)
