After the group stage of the Empire League had ended, the top nine teams appeared.
According to the overall ranking of points and headcount, these nine teams were —
Deity Team.
Fu Long Team.
Talisman God Team.
Cold Moon Team.
Kunlun Team.
High Cloud Pavilion Team.
Overlord Team.
The strongest team on the surface.
Cold Palace Team.
Among them, Deity Team and Fu Long Team both had 54 points. It was just that in terms of headcount, Deity Team had one more than Fu Long Team.
Although one more headcount was still a lot, this advantage was really not very big.
Among the 36 participating teams, there were strong teams, such as Deity Team and Fu Long Team. But the rest could not be humiliated with the word "weaklings".
Even Flying Immortal's Boundless Team, although eliminated, had obtained more than ten points after six matches.
Previously, because of the conflict at the space center, Lin Zijin had defeated six of them in the virtual dojo. But now, in the group stage, they had obtained 53 points and were ranked third among the top nine!
Although this result was not as eye-catching as Deity Team and Fu Long Team, it was still considered a very good result.
Hence, from top to bottom, Talisman God Team was very excited.
But when talking about the conflict with Fu Long Team at the space center, this Empire League Rising Star Team, which was obviously targeting Fu Long Team, became very low-key.
"No, no. Hehe, it was all a misunderstanding. It's long over!"
"Name? Hey, I said some jokes previously. Actually, it's just a way for young people to pay their respects. "
"Yes, of course we are confident about the future. We will play every match well with all our heart."
"What do you think about Fu Long Team's refusal to be interviewed in the last match of the group stage? Sorry, we are not very clear about this matter. Yes, yes, we did not watch it. Haha, we are busy training all day. How can we have so much time to watch the news? Yes, we are actively preparing for the match and do not want to pay attention to too many things that are not related to us. Yes, okay, thank you! "
Chang Haiyan, the captain of Talisman God Team who had accepted an interview with a Ziyun media, was very low-key when the host mentioned the Talisman God Team.
From the broadcast video, it could be seen that the host had wanted to get information from Chang Haiyan, hoping that he could say what had happened in the virtual dojo that day.
But Chang Haiyan had always avoided it. No matter how the host guided him, he did not say it.
Everything that happened that day was simply a nightmare for the entire Rune God Squad!
If they hadn't had a good teacher who had enlightened them and helped them overcome the initial difficulties, their journey in the Empire League Tournament would have been completely over at that moment!
The reason why he was able to perform so well in the next six matches was also because of the stimulation of being defeated by six people that day.
Of course, if not for Teacher Xing, that kind of stimulation might have been a fatal blow.
As for the Celestial battle team, as the upstart of the Ziyun planet, they were naturally the darling of the media. In the past two days, he had also taken some time to accept an interview with a major Ziyun media and did an interview program.
Captain Mu Yuhai took the shield warrior Wu Xuewei on this show.
Faced with the host's question about Fu Long, Mu Yuhai was helpless and speechless.
Because of the previous video incident, they were once pushed to the teeth of the storm.
Luckily, there were more topics about the Fu Long battle team. Only then did people gradually let go of that matter.
This was the home advantage. Otherwise, if it were a team from another planet, how could the Ziyun media let it go so easily?
They would have long since dug deep and covered the sky and covered the earth, and then talked about it.
Faced with the host's question about the championship, Mu Yuhai did not hesitate. He smiled and said, "We definitely came to participate in the competition for the championship trophy. But the other opponents are also very strong, so we just have to play every match well. "
But the host refused to let him go. He asked, "You are a group of young people. I hope to hear the high-spirited conversation you had in the video that day!"
Mu Yuhai and Wu Xuewei looked at the host speechlessly. Are you trying to stir up trouble?
We are all family, why do you have to do this?
To be honest, the current situation was like this —
As the results of the group competition were settled, the outstanding Fu Long battle team had slapped the faces of many powerful people.
These people had extremely high statuses, especially in the world of commentators, analysts, and coaches. Their words carried a lot of weight.
The number of supporters behind each of them was also astonishing. They all numbered in the hundreds of millions or even billions!
The more one was like this, the more one had to be careful with their words. Because once the words were spoken, they would be remembered.
In the beginning, they did not think highly of Fu Long. In the middle of the competition, they did not think highly of Fu Long either. In the end … it was too embarrassing!
If you don't think highly of them, who do you think you are?
So, if you start from the topic of Fu Long not going far, it would seem too lowly!
It would also seem too petty!
Then, they could only scold them from other aspects. For example, Xiao Bai and Lin Zijin being late for the last group competition. For example, Liu leaving in a huff at the press conference. Through these methods, they questioned the character of Fu Long's team members and slowly changed the topic to this team not going far.
To be honest, these voices were really making a lot of noise.
If not for the fact that Fu Long also had many supporters, they might have really been crushed by them in terms of public opinion.
But the current situation was not very optimistic.
Fu Long's foundation was in the Fairy Realm. No matter how powerful the people in the Fairy Realm were, not many of them could affect the entire Zu Long.
Although they had gained a lot of new fans recently, their fighting power was still lacking compared to those old haters.
So, the voices outside generally did not think highly of Fu Long, or rather, did not like Fu Long.
Among them, this naturally included the media that interviewed the Celestial Battle Team.
They really hoped that the youngsters of the Celestial Battle Team could directly pat their chests and say that once they met in the finals, they would definitely beat Fu Long!
They wanted to teach this team from a remote planet who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth a harsh lesson.
But the problem was, no matter what the voices outside were like, no matter whether those old haters were pretending to be stupid or blind, the people in these participating teams were not stupid or blind!
How strong was the Fu Long Battle Team?
There was no doubt about this!
Among them, the Talisman Battle Team had the deepest feelings. In fact, during the team's internal meeting, they had already strategically given up on the match with Fu Long. They were prepared to save more energy to deal with the other teams!
As long as they could get more points from the other teams that were originally uncertain, it would be enough to make up for the points they had lost against Fu Long.
As for fighting, they could not even beat one of them. What was there to fight for?
Although the feelings of the other teams were not as deep as the Talisman Battle Team, each of their teams had a coach and professional analysts!
The few members of the Fu Long Battle Team who did not even look like they had entered the intermediate level were all freaking monsters!
At such a young age, they had already experienced hundreds of battles.
Many people were even suspicious. How did they manage to do it?
The Fairies were located at the borders, and had been attacked many times by dimensional living beings, so they had experienced hundreds of battles?
But why was the Limitless Battle Team, which was also from the Fairies, not so strong?
So in the end, in the Fu Long Battle Team, it was definitely not just Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin who were strong. It was just that the brilliance of the two of them was too strong, suppressing the performance of the others.
Once those people were given a chance, even Si Yin, who was previously timid and did not dare to fight, became extremely fierce!
Xiao Gu, who was ridiculed by others, finally appeared in the third round of the group stage. He directly demonstrated what it meant to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
So, the attitude of the outside world towards the Fu Long Battle Team could be ridiculed, mocked, or questioned. In any case, it did not matter what they said.
But these people who were also participating in the Empire League Tournament really did not dare to say anything.
From the group stage to the elimination round, there was a rest period of about half a month.
There was a reason why there was such a long rest period.
The officials hoped that these participating teams could make use of this half a month's time to continue to greatly improve the abilities of their members!
Fighting in such a top-notch tournament would definitely not be lacking.
As for whether or not their foundations were solid enough, they were all young geniuses who had been training all year round. Most of them had very good foundations.
So, this half a month's time was given to the members of these teams to crazily improve themselves!
The Empire needed geniuses, but the Empire needed experts even more!
As for what to do if they did not have spiritual pearls?
If a team that had always been able to fight its way into the Empire League Tournament could not even solve this problem, then it could only be said that everyone in the team, from top to bottom, was retarded.
As long as there was a smart person, they would not lack the money.
The officials of the Empire League Tournament hoped to see even more intense confrontations in the finals, to see even more exciting and intense matches.
This was the purpose of taking such a long time to rest.
To these participating teams, they indeed needed this kind of improvement.
Since they were already here, whoever did not want to win the championship was a dog!
Once they entered the finals, they would immediately have to face the incomparably intense and cruel single round robin competition.
Although it could not be said that one battle would determine life and death, in the final round robin competition, they could not lose a single point that they should not lose!
So when it was time to improve their strength, no one would be careless.
There were a total of eight matches in the finals. Because the intensity of these matches was too high, even if the competition started, it would only be held once a week or so.
The eight matches would take about two months. If they won all of them, it would be 72 points.
The rules of the Empire League Tournament would be adjusted frequently, especially when it came to calculating points.
Then from ancient times until now, it seemed that only in the second or third Empire League Tournament, there had been such a terrifying team that had scored full marks!
The members of that team had long since become bigwigs of the Zulong Empire.
Since then, countless years had passed, and there had never been another team that had scored full marks.
In the eyes of many analysts, it was almost impossible for such a situation to occur in this Empire League Tournament.
"Although Fu Long Battle Team has gotten into some trouble recently, and there have been some problems with their reputation, it has to be said that the overall strength of this team is still very strong. According to my analysis, any member of Fu Long Battle Team has the strength to challenge those of a lower level … That is to say, these beginner Grandmasters of Fu Long all have the ability to fight intermediate Grandmasters. "
A very famous analyst faced the camera and smiled as he spoke frankly with assurance. "And Celestial Battle Team is also incomparably strong. They led Fu Long by one point in the group stage and ranked first. This is enough to show their strength. So, with these two teams existing at the same time, scoring full marks … isn't very likely! "
"According to my prediction, in the next finals, the two teams with the most hope of winning the championship are Celestial Battle Team and Fu Long. But it's not that the other teams have no chance. Maybe Celestial Battle Team and Fu Long will both suffer. "
As this analyst spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
After all, this was a competition in the virtual world and not in reality.
Even if they died in this match, they would still be alive and kicking in the next match.
If the Empire League Tournament's competition system could be a little more ruthless, it would be fun — dead people were not allowed to appear in the next match.
As long as they died, they would be completely eliminated!
He remembered which Empire League Tournament did this before.
The result was very ugly.
Because all the teams had racked their brains on how to get rid of each other in battle.
Before the group stage ended, almost all the participating team members were "dead" … That tournament was also stopped midway and replayed later. It became quite a big joke.
In a luxurious top-class hotel in the Ziyun Imperial City.
Shangguan Wenping leaned on the bed and watched the analyst speak on the screen. His two arms, one on the left and one on the right, were embracing two young and beautiful girls.
Originally, he didn't care about the girls from the Zulong Empire.
In the end … the result was, of course, really good!
They had the same eyes and the same skin, but to him, there was a hint of exotic charm.
This feeling was very good.
He had been here for a while.
He had arrived before the Empire League Tournament started.
He was handsome and didn't lack money. His fluent Ziyun Mandarin allowed Shangguan Wenping to live like a fish in water in Ziyun very quickly.
He didn't deliberately come into contact with the upper class here, but he didn't lack any girls around him.
The incident that happened in the Imperial City a few days ago had actually shocked Shangguan Wenping.
He even quickly turned his attention to Shirō Makino!
The Great Demon King had once said in the Black Domain that he was Shirō Makino.
Of course, no one would take this seriously.
But on the other hand, was it even possible?
The royal families of the three great empires and those powerful big shots had control over the Black Domain. Was there really no other way to open the back door?
The reason why the Shangguan Family let Shangguan Wenping do this was mainly because Shangguan Wenping was extremely talented in this aspect.
His acuity and intelligence were far beyond that of ordinary people.
During the battle in the Black Domain, the Great Demon King and Wenjun were probably aware that they had provoked public anger. After that battle, the two of them didn't go online at all.
But from their usual behavior, it didn't seem like they were afraid of anything.
Then, could it be that they were participating in the Empire League Tournament and couldn't spare any time?
Although there were many breaks in the competition, a person's energy was limited.
Therefore, apart from flirting with girls these days, Shangguan Wenping spent most of his energy on studying the super teams like Rune Dragon and Celestial.
After the incident a few days ago, many people suspected that the people who defeated the Protoss were Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin.
Although the royal family had quickly refuted the rumors.
But there was a loophole in it!
The statement didn't say that the two people who defeated them were not Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin. It only said that they were the imperial family's consecrators!
Although Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin were very young, no one said that young people couldn't be members of the imperial family's consecrators, right?
If Shirō Makino was really the Great Demon King, then according to his grandfather, he might really have the ability to fight against the god-ranked Protoss.
Of course, up until now, all of this was only Shangguan Wenping's deduction.
It couldn't be taken seriously.
But this didn't stop him from staring at the Rune Dragon team and Shirō Makino.
"Young Master Duan, what are you thinking about? It's not good to be absent-minded when you're guarding us two great beauties! "The beautiful girl with long black hair who was lying on Shangguan Wenping's left shoulder complained softly. She was acting coquettishly.
"Haha, you little vixen. What's wrong? Didn't I feed you enough last night?" Shangguan Wenping's hand, which was holding the beautiful girl with long black hair, moved.
"Aiya, you're so annoying!" The girl's tone became even more coquettish.
Shangguan Wenping laughed heartily and said to the girl on the right, "What about you? Are you full? "
The girl on the right gave him a look of acknowledgment.
Then she said, "Young Master Duan, you said that you want to invest in Ziyun. Is there anything suitable for us sisters?"
The long black hair nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master Duan. We are all ambitious people. We don't want to just be canaries and be raised by you."
"What's wrong with being a canary? How many people want to be a canary but don't have the chance? "Shangguan Wenping said with a smile.
The two girls looked at each other across Shangguan Wenping's bare chest and sensibly shut their mouths.
From the beginning, they knew that they could not offend this Young Master Duan!
After Shangguan Wenping came to Ziyun, he changed his name to Duan Yong.
This name seemed ordinary, but in fact, the identity behind it was quite shocking!
Sky Lake Holy Land, Young Master Duan!
Just like how most people did not know what kind of power and status the Bai and Lin families had, most people did not know about the Sky Lake Holy Land.
However, all those who knew about them knew very well what sort of astonishing resources and power this ancient family possessed.
The Sky Lake Holy Land also had a title that was only circulated among high-level spiritual warriors — the God Territory Express!
It was said that if a martial grandmaster at the peak of the martial grandmaster realm went into seclusion in the Sky Lake Holy Land, there was a 70% chance that they could directly step into the God Territory in a month or two, or even three to five years!
Too many martial grandmasters at the peak of the martial grandmaster realm could not cross the threshold in their lifetime. But in the Sky Lake Holy Land, it was relatively easy.
So one could imagine how attractive this place was to the top powerhouses.
The key was that the Sky Lake Holy Land was not within the sphere of influence of the three empires. It was an independent country!
Of course, it did not really establish a country, and it was not well-known among the people. It had always been very low-key.
Actually, like the planet where the Howling Moon Wolf lived, in the huge Andromeda Galaxy, there were countless planets like this.
Even if the three empires included these regions in their territories, it did not mean that they had the ability to conquer all of them.
Even if they had the ability, the three empires would not do so.
Because once they did so, the losses would definitely be greater than the gains. It was better to maintain a relationship of mutual respect and occasionally cooperate.
These were things that the people of the three empires did not know and would probably never understand.
So, when Shangguan Wenping used the identity of Duan Yong to appear in Purple Cloud, there were simply too many people who wanted to befriend him!
Among them, this included the internal contact of the Lin family's elders, who was eager to break through and step into the God Territory to obtain a higher position … Lin Qi.
As for why Shangguan Wenping dared to use the identity of Duan Yong, the reason was very simple.
Because his mother's surname was Duan.
She was the daughter of the Sky Lake Holy Land's Duan family.
