Chapter 995 Wheel of Fortune
The Ten Sages Soul Master Forum soon came to the fifty-sixth day, and today, the most watched event was the final of the God-level group in the Ten Sages Competition.
Liu Xiaoxiao and his disciples came into the box, waiting for the draw to begin.
The first round of eliminations divided the winners group and losers group into four groups, with three teams advancing from each winner group and one team advancing from each losers group, for a total of sixteen teams.
Today, the draw ceremony for the round of 16 will be held. A match will be held immediately after the draw, and there will be a match every day thereafter.
There are fifteen matches in total, including the round of 16, round of 4, round of 4 and the final, which will be held in fifteen days.
After that, there is the 75th day’s Grand Battle, which is a battle royale survival mode competition involving all participating teams.
The closing ceremony of the Ten Sages Soul Master Forum is currently scheduled to be on the 81st day.
It can be said that the entire Ten Sages Soul Master Forum has already gone through two-thirds, and the Ten Sages Competition has entered the most intense stage.
Each game in the finals is an elimination match, which will undoubtedly maximize the fighting spirit of all contestants.
The rewards for the Ten Sages Competition have also been announced. The top eight teams in the God-level group competition will receive a 10% discount on the 73rd artifact auction, and will be able to bid for one of the artifacts at a 10% discount.
As for the price difference between the buyer and the seller, it will naturally be made up by the organizer, and the so-called organizer is naturally these ten sages.
At the god level, the only thing that can attract them is the divine weapon.
Compared to directly rewarding an artifact that you don’t know whether you can use or just federal coins, this kind of artifact auction discount is more attractive and more in line with the standards and appearance of the Ten Sages Competition.
The price of the artifacts is already high enough, but the savings of the ten sages are still abundant enough that they can afford the federal coins for even a few artifacts, unless a super artifact really appears at the auction, such as the Trident of Poseidon and the Heavenly Saint Rift Trident.
However, even at that time, they would not give up the super artifact. After all, they are definitely richer than other forces. By then, it will either fall into the hands of their ten sages, or the reserve price will be too high and it will fail to sell.
The rewards for the top four are similar, except that the discount is 20% and the number of discounts reaches two. The runner-up has a 30% discount and the number of discounts reaches three.
As for the champion, in addition to three opportunities for 60% off auction, he will also have the right to close the auction at the reserve price once.
As long as the item is a sacred artifact provided by the organizer, it can be auctioned at a reserve price, which can effectively avoid competition from other bidders.
Naturally, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others were not very interested in the prizes. It was just a matter of passing the prizes from one hand to the other anyway, and they could not ban the items from other forces, otherwise the number of artifacts sent for auction would probably be reduced a lot.
But if they won the prize, it meant that other teams would not get the corresponding rewards, which was equivalent to saving money in disguise.
No matter what, the artifact is still not cheap, so of course you should save money if you can.
This time, the twelve places in the winner group were decided to belong to Liu Xiaoxiao's team, Dabao's team and the Sage Shrek Team, as well as the Shrek Seven Devils Team led by He Qiang, the Fei Family Team led by Li Hong, the Ice Clan Team led by Zhang Shiwen, the Rong Family Team, the Zhou Family Team, the Dark Nebula Team led by Lin Bo, the Leng Family Team led by Xiaopang, the Sage Team, and the Shrek Tang Sect Newcomer Team composed of lucky people such as Lan Muzi and Wu Changkong.
As for the four places in the loser group, Tang Ming's Long family team and the Tang Sect Shrek mixed team that lost to Li Hong in the preliminary round occupied two places, and the remaining two places fell into the hands of Yun Ming and Zu Yuan's teams.
In Liu Xiaoxiao's opinion, there are not many teams that are truly qualified to compete for the championship. Their team counts as one, Li Hong's team counts as one, Lin Bo's team counts as one, the Shrek Seven Devils team counts as one, the Sages team counts as one, and if you count the teams of the Rong family and the Zhou family, that's about the same.
Not long after, the captains of the sixteen teams gathered at the main venue of the Star Battle Network Ten Sages Competition and began to draw lots.
The entire process of drawing lots was completed automatically by Star Battle Network. To be honest, they didn't have much to do except confirm the list of the top 16.
Soon, the draw results were announced.
Liu Xiaoxiao's team was picked third, which means they will play on the third day.
Unfortunately, they ran directly into the Sage Team.
The two favorites to win the championship will meet in the round of 16, which will undoubtedly be the most intense competition.
Not only them, the two teams with the first pick are also the favorites to win the championship. The veteran Shrek Seven Devils team led by He Qiang faced the Zhou team.
The two teams will compete to form an eight-team quarterfinal today.
In addition, the match with the second draw is also worth looking forward to, because this match is a competition between the previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils led by Yun Ming and the Golden Dawn team led by Zu Yuan. It is a fierce battle that brings together all the new and old grudges. All those who know the inside story are waiting to watch this good show.
Back in the viewing box, Liu Xiaoxiao looked ahead. At this moment, only Zhou Longhu and He Qiang remained in the main venue, preparing to draw the competition map.
Soon, the results came out.
Wheel of Fortune map.
This is a bit like a board game where you roll dice and play chess to advance, but it is different.
The main venue of the Wheel of Fortune map is located in the Eternal Tree. The huge Eternal Tree is roughly divided into the lower, middle and upper levels. Team movement is carried out through turn-based dice rolling. In the process of moving forward, various different events will be encountered randomly. In the end, the one who reaches the top floor first and sees the goddess of fate wins.
In other words, luck is very important in this map and can even greatly influence the outcome of the battle.
This map is not so much a wheel of fortune turning as it is a traveler packing his bags and setting off on an unknown journey.
After drawing the game map, the two returned to their respective teams.
On the Zhou family team, in addition to Zhou Longhu, there are Zhou Tianyu and his wife Sarafi, Long Xueyuan who is good at the Six Absolutes Holy Dao Formation, Zhou Feiyang who is good at close combat, sharpshooter Zhou Huanyu and Zhou Hanxin who is good at conspiracy and intrigue.
Zhou Longhu took a quick glance and then looked at Zhou Hanxin.
In this team, the leader is Zhou Longhu himself, the soul figure is Zhou Tianyu who controls the holy power of the nebula, and the dog-headed military strategist who gives advice is Zhou Hanxin.
However, this time, there seems to be no room for tactical deployment, and everything depends on luck and strength.
On the other side, He Qiang also glanced at his team.
Although Dai Yuhao and Tang Wutong are gone, Tang Ya and Nana, who have replaced them, are strong enough and are the backbone of their team.
The only problem is that Tang Ya in this life takes the route of strong attack. In other words, their team lacks a main control soul master.
But they have Xiaoxiao on their side. Although she considers herself to be an auxiliary combat soul master, it is no problem to let her take on a concurrent role or return to the main controller position when necessary.
As for the auxiliary system, there shouldn't be any problem since we have a food-type soul master with super combat power.
Not long after, the competition officially began.
The figures of both parties appeared at the bottom of the Tree of Eternity. The misty clouds here made this tall Tree of Eternity even more mysterious.
There is a problem with the turn-based dice-rolling game, and that is the order, and the way to determine the order is by rock-paper-scissors.
Each side sends a representative to play rock-paper-scissors repeatedly until one side wins, and the team it belongs to takes the first move.
Of course, although rock-paper-scissors seems completely random, there are rules to follow.
According to psychological statistical analysis, humans prefer to use fists when playing rock-paper-scissors, so some people use paper as a winning strategy, while others use scissors to defeat paper.
Because of the endless nesting of these layers, a complex game is created.
Although there is no Nash equilibrium in rock-paper-scissors, this does not mean that random choice will win, because when the human variable is introduced, what will happen is not truly random. The temperament of an individual can greatly affect the final outcome, and the grasp of the opponent's temperament can greatly affect the outcome.
In addition, although it is a game of rock-paper-scissors, there are no other restrictions except that you cannot attack the opponent.
In other words, playing dirty is allowed.
Therefore, both sides will be very cautious in choosing players, as this will greatly affect the outcome.
Compared to sending out simple-minded guys, a sinister and cunning guy will definitely have a better chance of winning.
He Qiang patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder without any hesitation, and motioned him to come forward and play rock-paper-scissors.
Xu Sanshi chuckled, gave him a thumbs up, and walked forward with confidence.
On the other side, Zhou Hanxin also walked out of the team.
He did not wear the legendary suit, but simply wore a bracelet that looked like a storage bracelet.
Before the official competition, the preliminary battle has already begun.
These two had come and gone many times over the past tens of thousands of years and were quite familiar with each other's personalities. They both knew that the other must be thinking about something in his or her mind.
Xu Sanshi showed Zhou Hanxin a sly look, "I'm ready to make a move."
"Really?" Zhou Hanxin showed a skeptical expression.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xu Sanshi chuckled.
"Then I'll use the scissors." Zhou Hanxin nodded.
The two men smiled at each other, then counted to three and punched out at the same time.
"You don't keep your word." Xu Sanshi screamed.
"You were the one who started the bluff." Zhou Hanxin touched his chin, "This time I'm really going to use the scissors."
"Then I'll use my fist." Xu Sanshi nodded.
Then, the two of them punched at the same time.
"I didn't lie to you this time." Xu Sanshi chuckled.
Zhou Hanxin did not respond to him, "It's time to produce the cloth next."
"Yeah, we've already played rock, scissors, it's time for paper." Xu Sanshi nodded, took out a red cigar, and slowly put it between his lips.
The two men stared at each other, then waved their hands at the same time.
Silently, the cigar lit up automatically.
A virtual scene suddenly spread in Xu Sanshi's mind. In that scene, Zhou Hanxin played the cloth this time.
The Red Cigar that predicts the future is one of He Caitou's ninth soul skills. It allows the user to know the future a few seconds later in an extremely short interval, just like seeing a picture of the future.
He was about to take out the scissors when suddenly, Zhou Hanxin's bracelet lit up.
Then, his hands turned into fists uncontrollably.
Zhou Hanxin revealed a look of triumph and was beaming with joy.
His bracelet is called Replay the Past, and it is a lower-level artifact that can make the target repeat past actions within a small range.
The reason why it was not used before was because we had to keep an eye on Xu Sanshi to prevent him from making any disruptive moves, such as a Xuanwu replacement or something.
"You cheated!" Xu Sanshi looked furious.
Zhou Hanxin chuckled, "How dare you say such a thing?"
Xu Sanshi snorted and walked towards his team.
Zhou Hanxin also returned to the team, and was greeted by the smiles of everyone in the group.
At least in this opening battle, they gained the upper hand.
