Chapter 96 Sixteen into Eight
The four of them were grilling fish and having a picnic by the river embankment, as if they were back on the journey from the Star Dou Forest to Shrek Academy three months ago.
From the afternoon until the sky was filled with stars, the four of them dispersed.
But what made Xu Zihuang a little confused was that neither Beibei nor Huo Yuhao showed any obvious intentions today.
Huo Yuhao was okay, but although Beibei looked gentle and elegant, he actually had a lot of little thoughts in his heart.
Especially Beibei's behavior today made him feel a knot in his heart.
After three years in prison, he became particularly sensitive. Maybe Beibei didn't have any bad intentions, but he had to be vigilant.
In his opinion, Beibei must be closer to Huo Yuhaoguan, who is also a disciple of the Tang Sect.
While keeping an eye on things, Xu Zihuang was naturally not very interested.
Of course he won't show any of this.
Even if Huo Yuhao wanted to take the initiative to establish a good relationship with Xu Zihuang, it would not be so easy to get acquainted with him after not seeing him for three consecutive months.
There is no common language.
After the two returned to the freshman dormitory, they greeted each other and then returned to their respective dormitories.
The soul guide lamp on the ceiling of the dormitory emits soft, warm-toned light, illuminating every corner of this small dormitory.
Tuoba Yu was lying on his bed, holding a book and reading while shaking his legs.
Obviously he didn't really calm down and immerse himself in it.
Hearing the sound of the dormitory door opening, he subconsciously looked at Xu Zihuang who walked into the dormitory, and then sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose.
"What smells so good? What did you do today?" As he said this, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
The true nature is exposed and belongs to yes.
"You're not having a tryst with some senior, are you?"
"Have you noticed all this?" Xu Zihuang deliberately pretended to be surprised and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, dating four or five beautiful seniors in a row is a bit tiring."
Compared to Huo Yuhao, who has low self-esteem and is sensitive, he still feels that it is easier to get along with Tuoba Yu, who has a similar temperament.
Tuoba Yu's expression froze. When he asked this question, he was definitely asking for trouble.
Because regardless of whether it is true or not, if Xu Zihuang has that idea, he can really do it.
No one is the same every day.
In the end, he could only say something quietly.
"take care."
Xu Zihuang shook his head speechlessly, took off his white freshman uniform and put it in the closet.
What Tuoba Yu smelled was not the smell of grilled fish, but the fragrance that Tang Ya had used when washing his school uniforms. It's a bit similar to the fragrance of plants, but it's obviously different from the floral fragrance of the Mo Xueji plant on the balcony of the dormitory.
By the time Xu Zihuang finished washing and returned to the dormitory, Tuoba Yu had already started practicing with resentment.
Having been with Xu Zihuang for a long time, I still have the ability to withstand pressure. Every time I was stimulated by Xu Zihuang, I would turn my grief and anger into the motivation for cultivation.
Xu Zihuang also tacitly hung a do not disturb sign outside the door, sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing.
Only one day had passed since the elimination round, and most of the freshmen had been eliminated. The remaining ones who continued to compete on the second day were the top 16 teams in this freshmen assessment, a total of 48 freshmen. It can be said that they are all the best among the freshmen, and can even be said to be some of the best soul masters among their peers in the entire continent.
When the knockout rounds of the 16th and 8th rounds began early the next morning, the assessment area was much cooler than yesterday.
The senior students have gone to class, and many freshmen teams have also been eliminated. This is obvious. But the number of teachers in the stands has barely changed.
The person who held the lottery ceremony was still Du Weilun, the teaching director of the Wuhun Department's outer academy.
The playing area has been expanded again, with eight wide fields starting games at the same time. However, Xu Zihuang and his opponents today did not directly admit defeat like the three freshmen from Class 8 yesterday.
The three people opposite were all handsome male students, and what surprised Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu the most was that they had met these three people before. They were the three freshmen who walked in front of them and talked about the rumors about the showdown between Xu Zihuang and Wu Feng.
The reason why the subsequent rumors about Xu Zihuang are so outrageous may have something to do with these three guys.
Tuoba Yu whispered in Xu Zihuang's ear.
"What do you mean, do you want to deal with them alone, just to vent your anger?"
"Forget it. As I said before, you and Yoona try your best to show your strength and strive to become core disciples. In this game, I mainly control the field and assist you." Xu Zihuang shook his head indifferently and looked to his side. Nanmen Yoona who barely speaks.
"Yooner, do you have any objection?"
"Yes." Nanmen Yun'er nodded in response.
To be honest, because Xu Zihuang's personal strength is so outstanding, their team has actually not cooperated much since the first day of the freshman assessment until now.
But both Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er acted very calmly. Because no matter what, Xu Zihuang will be able to get the bottom of things.
It's impossible to lose, they just have to play their best.
"Both parties have the same names. Get ready for the competition." The invigilator couldn't help but look at Xu Zihuang one more time, and then said in a deep voice.
"Freshman Class 10, Zhou Sichen, a master of the assault system."
"New student Class 10, Long Xiangyue, master of agility and attack system."
"Freshman Class 10, Cao Jinxuan, master of the control system."
Their sonorous and powerful voices demonstrate their confidence. Regardless of whether you can win or not, you still have to have momentum.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang and the other three also made a name recognition. This is a rule in the soul master world to express respect for each other.
"The ninth class of freshmen, Yu Tianhuang, the Control System Battle Spirit Master."
"The ninth class of freshmen, Tuoba Yu, a master of the assault system.''
"Ninth class of freshmen, Nanmen Yun'er, master of agility and attack system."
Hearing Xu Zihuang's words, "Control System Battle Soul Master," the pupils of the three freshmen in Class 10 shrank subconsciously.
Although they were all mentally prepared, when they actually faced Xu Zihuang, they were still unsure.
Zhou Sichen couldn't help but mutter to Cao Jinxuan next to him.
"Jinxuan, are you okay?"
The tragic defeat of Wang Dong and the others yesterday morning still cast too great a shadow on him.
Cao Jinxuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Sichen angrily.
"My second soul skill should be able to control Yu Tianhuang for one to two seconds. The rest is up to you and Xiang Yue. If we can't deal with Yu Tianhuang, then there is nothing we can do. We can only take a gamble. Done."
Long Xiangyue on the side also came over. The three of them looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Cao Jinxuan's martial spirit is special, so they have no chance at all.
