A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 72 Semifinals

"Nan Nan, have you recovered?"

Seeing Jiang Nannan and Ye Yutong coming hand in hand, Lin Yao smiled slightly and said softly when he saw the energetic Jiang Nannan.

"That's right. It doesn't consume much in the first place. If you meditate for one noon, you will naturally recover everything!"

Jiang Nannan replied with a bright smile.

"I can't wait. As long as we win the afternoon game, we will enter the finals. If we enter the finals, the championship will not be far away!"

Ye Yutong was very excited and said in an excited tone.

"That's natural!" Lin Yao said, "Let's go and eat. After eating, it's almost game time."

"Yeah!" Jiang Nannan and Ye Yutong nodded and followed Lin Yao to eat.

After lunch, Lin Yao and the other three came to the assessment area.

Because the top four teams have been decided in the morning competition, the number of students from outside the assessment area is not as many as the teachers.

Compared with the afternoon, there were more people watching the game.Of course, those who came to watch the game were teachers, and the students still had to continue their classes.

There were a total of twelve students in four teams, but there were more than 30 teachers. Almost all the teachers who had no classes in the outer courtyard came and surrounded the students.

Amid the crowds of teachers and the gazes of the academy's senior officials in the stands, the twelve students all acted honestly. At most, they only exchanged glances and did not talk aloud.

However, with so many high-level soul masters gathering together to watch a battle between a group of second- and third-level children, I am afraid that only Shrek Academy in the entire continent can see such a scene.

Two teachers who were of extraordinary status came out from among the teachers. One of them was Du Weilun, the teaching director of the Martial Arts Department who was known to all the students present.

To the surprise of all the students, this dean, who can be said to be a high-ranking authority in the martial arts department, actually followed respectfully behind another old man in white, which showed that this old man had a high status in the college.

The old man in white has a kind face, a calm pace, and an approachable demeanor in every move he makes.

The students immediately guessed the identity of the middle-aged man.

In the Martial Soul Department, the people who can make Du Weilun treat him with such respect are nothing more than the two deans, the vice dean is said to be a woman, and the dean is a man, so the identity of the man in white in front of him is self-evident .

Lin Yao's eyes also shone with a strange light as he looked at this old man with two major backgrounds in the Shrek Holy Spirit Cult.

Decades ago, Shrek's Prodigy, Dean of Shrek Academy, Level 95 Super Douluo, Ming Feng Douluo Yan Shaozhe.

On the surface, he is the strongest titled Douluo in Shrek Academy, but the enemies of Shrek Academy all know that he is far from the strongest. There are several people stronger than him in the Poseidon Pavilion alone!

"Hello, young people. I am Yan Shaozhe, the 261st dean of Shrek Academy."

Yan Shaozhe stepped forward and slowly spoke while the twelve students looked at him in awe, confusion or curiosity.

His temperament is very gentle, giving the impression that he is just an ordinary old man.

But when he personally revealed his identity, all the students except Lin Yao unconsciously looked at Yan Shaozhe with bright eyes, including Ma Xiaotao.

The dean of Shrek Academy, as the dean of the first academy in the mainland today, he has the qualifications to be equal to the emperor of any country.

Moreover, the dean of Shrek Academy must be a powerful person at the level of Titled Douluo.

The dean's appearance here in person was completely unexpected to the freshmen.

Yan Shaozhe noticed the physical reactions of the twelve students, the smile on his face did not diminish, and he spoke in a gentle tone.

"I know you are curious about why I am here. Generally speaking, even in the final stage of the freshman assessment, having a vice president come forward is enough to show that the college values ​​you.

But I have to say that I am very satisfied with your freshmen, especially the twelve students present.

You are the most talented class of freshmen in the past century.I'm very interested in you, so here I am.

I will watch all your games today and hope you can surprise me.Okay, let the drawing begin. "

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, except for Lin Yao, all the eleven or twelve-year-old children present felt their blood boiling.

This is the dean of Shrek Academy, and his praise is undoubtedly very weighty.

Naturally, the dean couldn't preside over the lottery draw in person. Du Weilun quickly took over the task of drawing lots, but Dean Yan said that he would personally hold the lottery boxes for the freshmen.

Du Weilun stepped forward knowingly and shouted loudly: "The second class of freshmen, Lin Yao's team stepped forward to draw lots."

As he spoke, he approached Dean Yan and signaled with his eyes.

Dean Yan nodded imperceptibly, looked at Lin Yao who was walking towards him with a gentle smile, and said with profound meaning.

"Young man, I hope that you and your team can show your true strength in today's assessment."

As a person whose strength depends solely on "hard work", how could Lin Yao have stage fright when facing Yan Shaozhe?

After drawing a lottery, he bowed to Yan Shaozhe calmly, then handed the lottery to Du Weilun, and then walked back.

At this time, Du Weilun's voice sounded again.

"The second class of freshmen, Lin Yao's team, number one."

There are only two examination rooms in the semi-finals, and drawing No. [-] means that they will fight with another team that draws No. [-] in Examination Room No. [-].

“The third class of freshmen, Yao Haoxuan’s team.

The fourth class of freshmen, Chen Zifeng’s team.

Freshman Class [-], Ma Xiaotao’s team.

Go on stage and draw lots. "Lin Yao walked down from the stands, and Ma Xiaotao happened to walk over.

The tall Ma Xiaotao was only half a head shorter than Lin Yao, and her long, silky red hair fluttered slightly as she walked.

Those pale pink eyes can easily give people a seductive feeling. Fortunately, her eyes are very cold, which slightly suppresses the ecstasy and bone-crushing gaze.Against the background of her long red hair, her skin looks even fairer.

Her delicate facial features adorned her pretty face. She nodded towards Lin Yao and then passed by.

Hibiscus in the stands, holding the fence with both hands, his eyes full of pride.

Although Lin Yao was able to lead the team to the semi-finals because of his very good talent, she still felt honored as a teacher.

"Freshman class three, Yao Haoxuan's team, No. [-]."

Hearing the news, Yao Haoxuan and the others from Class [-] were obviously relieved, but they soon became worried.

They didn't meet Ma Xiaotao's team, one of the only two undefeated teams, but they still had the chance to meet Lin Yao's team, the strongest new player!
The three of them, Yao Haoxuan, and the fourth team that will be drawn are all praying like crazy, hoping that the two winning teams can meet together.

Interestingly, there are only two teams that entered the semi-finals that were all victorious in the ranking competition.

The captain of the fourth class team stepped forward to draw lots, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him, because his luck would determine the situation in the semi-finals.

"Freshman class four, Chen Zifeng's team, number two!"

Du Weilun took the paper, glanced at it, his expression turned strange, and announced.

In the end, the remaining Ma Xiaotao didn't need to draw lots, the result was already clear.

In the first game of the semi-finals, Lin Yao’s team from the second class of freshmen competed against Ma Xiaotao’s team from the fifth class of freshmen.

In the second game of the semi-finals, the team of Yao Haoxuan from the third class of freshmen played against the team of Chen Zifeng from the fourth class of freshmen.

After knowing the result of the draw, both Ma Xiaotao and Lin Yao looked at each other surprisingly unanimously, with nothing but fighting spirit in their eyes.

The teachers at the scene also showed expressions of surprise and excitement. Everyone knew that Lin Yao's team and Ma Xiaotao's team were strong contenders for this year's freshman assessment championship!
Unexpectedly, we met in the semi-finals, and it was exciting now.Where is the semi-final here?It’s clearly the finals!
The other two teams are very lucky, because no matter what, not meeting Lin Yao's team or Ma Xiaotao's team means that they have a good chance of entering the finals.

Maybe, if the two teams fight fiercely enough and the winning team consumes a lot of money, they can win a championship for nothing!

Accompanied by Du Weilun and respectfully saluted by all the teachers, Yan Shaozhe came to his exclusive seat in the stands.

This is a large protruding area with the best view, able to have a panoramic view of all parts of the assessment area.

Don't look at it, this is just the freshman assessment that takes place three months into the school year.

But almost all the students in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy emerged from the freshman assessment and were fully trained after being favored by the academy.

As the dean, Yan Shaozhe came to watch in person because the freshmen of this class are particularly strong.

Generally speaking, even students from Shrek Academy need to reach the third grade if they want to reach the third ring.

At the same time, three-ring cultivation is also a necessary condition for the third grade to advance to the fourth grade.

And there are actually eight three-ring soul masters among this freshmen. With such strength, they can barely step into the inner courtyard with half a foot.

But the most important thing is because of Lin Yao and Ma Xiaotao, two peerless geniuses who are comparable to Zhang Lexuan.

At the same age, even the Poseidon Tang San among the Shrek Seven Monsters ten thousand years ago was far inferior to Lin Yao and Ma Xiaotao who were so talented.

In Shrek Academy's tens of thousands of years of history, there are no more than ten talents that can compare with him.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Yao and Ma Xiaotao are now.Already qualified to become a disciple of the inner court.

Neither Lin Yao nor Ma Xiaotao's team talked to each other. They had plenty of time after the game. Before the game, they were just opponents.

The teachers also entered the assessment area and crowded around the No. [-] examination room. Compared with the team in the No. [-] examination room, which was not weak, the early "final" battle in the No. [-] examination room was more exciting.

"Weilun, which one of the two teams do you think has a greater winning rate?"

Yan Shaozhe also came to the rostrum near the No. [-] examination room and said to Du Weilun beside him.

Du Weilun frowned, then relaxed.

"In terms of personal strength, even if Ma Xiaotao's soul power is as high as level 38, it can be seen from the configuration of the soul ring that Lin Yao is stronger.

But Ma Xiaotao's team is not weak either, and Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit is the Evil Fire Phoenix, Ling Luochen's martial spirit is the ice element, and Xixi's martial spirit is the Lightning Leopard, all of which are well-known and powerful martial spirits.

With Lin Yao's unknown thunder spirit alone, it's hard to say whether he will win or lose. "

Du Weilun continued.

"What's more, Ma Xiaotao's team not only possesses powerful martial souls, but they have also reached the soul master level.

In comparison, Jiang Nannan and Ye Yutong from Lin Yao's team, a seemingly mutated Soft Bone Rabbit martial spirit, and an auxiliary Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit are all inferior. The most important thing is that they are just big players. "Soul Master"

"From the looks of it, this battle is quite interesting, not bad, not bad."

When Yan Shaozhe heard Du Weilun's words, the look of anticipation on his face became more intense, and he said with a smile.

His eyes fell on Lin Yao, and he thought to himself: "I hope these three little guys, Xiaotao, can put more pressure on him and let me see how good he is. I hope he won't disappoint me!"

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded.

"Old Yan, I heard that one of the freshmen in this class is a little genius brought back by Lin'er?"

Yan Shaozhe didn't look back, but the smile on his face froze instantly.
