Chapter 712: Chapter 355: Draw Lots for Grouping_2

This must be a windfall. As everyone was surprised, the glow enveloping them began to change. The change was in color. There were four in total: blue, red, yellow, and green. There were nine beams of each color. Undoubtedly, this was the final method of grouping. By now, the beams were frequently flickering, everyone bathed in a strange, varying halo of light. And once the blinking halted, it meant the draw was completed.

There was no need for individuals to draw lots. In this way, the whole process could be completed in one step, determining the final composition of each group.

Even Long Dangdang couldn’t help but tense up. Theoretically speaking, it was possible for the strongest members of the six Great Sacred Temples to all end up in the same small group! After all, they had said beforehand that this draw would be absolutely fair and random. Therefore, anything was possible.

At this moment, a gentle halo of light rose from all thirty-six Sacred Legate chairs simultaneously, and all the Legates seemed to be engulfed within it. Immediately afterwards, the speed of the thirty-six beams of flashing light intensified even more.

Were they in isolation in the Temple? All this to avoid any interference in the draw? They were indeed careful.

Just as this thought crossed Long Dangdang’s mind, suddenly, all thirty-six beams of light froze simultaneously, different colors projecting onto different people.

Subconsciously, Long Dangdang glanced at Zisang Liuying who was beside him.

The light on Zisang Liuying was green, while his own was red. They were not in the same group! Yue Li had a yellow halo, so she was also in a different group.

Such a draw relieved Long Dangdang instantly. He then looked far into the distance, towards the other Temples.

The halo on Ling Menglu was different from his; it was blue. This made Long Dangdang feel slightly disappointed. He had hoped to be in the same group as Menglu, so he could look after her a bit. Although he was confident in her abilities, he still wanted to protect her.

When his gaze traveled to the direction of the Knights Temple, his mouth twitched involuntarily. The halo on Long Kongkong was conspicuously green. Yes, he was in the same group as Zisang Liuying...what kind of luck was this?

The light on Wang Changxin was yellow, the same as Yue Li. Looking over at Tao Linlin last, the light on Tao Linlin was red, in the same group as Long Dangdang.

While Long Dangdang was observing the grouping of others, Zisang Liuying was also paying attention to her teammates’ allocations. Four members of their demon hunting team had entered the grand finals. The best-case scenario was of course that each of them was in a different group, she has great confidence in her teammates.

However, things did not go as planned. The green light not only fell on Zisang Liuying and Long Kongkong, but also on Cai Caijuan. The three of them were in the same group. In other words, only two of them could make it to the top eight at most.

Tang Leiguang and Ling Menglu were both enveloped in a blue halo. The halo enveloping Chu Yu was yellow, in the same group as Wang Changxin and Yue Li.

Considering the two demon hunting teams of Long Dangdang and Zisang Liuying, the situation seemed to be rather favorable for the red group that Long Dangdang and Tao Linlin were in. Although there were also other powerful members from different Temples in their group, at least they did not have to confront any strong opponents from their own two demon hunting teams. In contrast, the situation was much more complicated for Zisang Liuying’s group. Zisang Liuying, Cai Caijuan, and Long Kongkong, were all hot contenders for the top eight. Zisang Liuying went without saying, and Long Kongkong had also shown considerable promise in the Knights Temple.

Furthermore, their group had an element of uncertainty. Shi Zeyu was in their group. The first seed of the Knights Temple and 8th Rank Adamantine Cathedra knight Shi Zeyu was also in the green group. The first seeds of both the Knights and Magic Temples, along with the second seed Long Kongkong, were in the same group. There was no doubt that their contest was sure to be a fierce competition!

Even before the draw started today, many had speculated that regardless of how the draw was conducted, there would certainly be a ’group of death’. However, nobody expected the ’group of death’ this time to be so brutal. The first ranked Knights Temple and the second ranked Magic Temple were pitted directly against each other, with the Knight Temple’s first and second seeds surrounding the Magic Temple’s first seed. Who could have anticipated such a situation? And, on top of that, they had the genius of summoner White Phoenix, Cai Caijuan. Among these four, only two could qualify for the top eight.

Therefore, the moment the draw was finalized, all the Legates of the Knights Temple and Magic Temple unconsciously changed colors, as this was clearly not the situation they wanted to see. On the other hand, the Legates from the other Temples felt quite relieved. The strongest competition being in the green group meant that competition in the other groups would be relatively less fierce.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and Long Kongkong cried out, "Help me! Is anyone going to save me? I’m so pitiful!"

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and Long Dangdang responded, "Be quiet."

A bright moon hung high in the sky, Long Kongkong said, "Bro, how about we switch groups? After all, we look alike. You go and take out Zisang Liuying and Shi Zeyu. How’s that sound? Besides, Shi Zeyu could potentially become your love rival."

A bright moon hung high in the sky, Long Dangdang retorted, "If you can’t handle him, then don’t recognize me as your brother. Clearing obstacles for your brother’s love life is your duty, isn’t it?"

A bright moon hung high in the sky, Ling Menglu intervened, "Enough, both of you!"

This group assignment was, in fact, acceptable for Demon Hunter Team 19115897. After all, their core team members, Long Dangdang, and Ling Menglu weren’t placed in the Death Group. Whether Long Kongkong could make it to the top eight depended on his ability to stir up trouble within the Death Group.

"Finished grouping," said the calm voice of the Hall Master, betraying no emotion.

"Start assigning you all to your groups. Remember your order."

The next moment, a faint ripple appeared around the light enveloping the contestants, and soon numbers appeared in front of them.

Take, for instance the Green group - the Death Group - Long Kongkong got the Green number one, Zisang Liuying Green number three, Cai Caijuan Green number four, Shi Zeyu Green number eight.

Long Dangdang got Red number three. Tao Linlin got Red eight.

Undoubtedly, this will be their order in the round-robin stage.

Each group has nine people, and in the round-robin stage, one person will always stay out, until all the matches are completed.

The Hall Master said: "The first round of the round-robin stage will commence shortly. It will be a 1 versus 2 and 3 versus 4 match-up for each group and so forth. The round-robin stage will continue for eight days to decide the final top eight. Each group will now enter the standby zone. The matches will take place in the order of blue, red, yellow, and green. Sixteen matches will take place each day. Those not participating in matches can watch or rest in the standby zone. The first group, Blue one and two, prepare."

Blue group - the group that Ling Menglu and Tang Leiguang belong to. Both Ling Menglu and Long Dangdang drew number three, Tang Leiguang got number two. This means that in the upcoming matches, Tang Leiguang will take the stage first. His opponent is a powerful player from the Assassins Temple.

The standby zone provided by the Sanctuary could be described as luxurious. Everyone had their own room where they could rest, wait, cultivate, and meditate. As for watching the matches, it could only be done from the edge of the arena, beyond the protective barrier.

As this was the first match, the majority decided to stay and watch the impending duel from the edge of the arena. The main reason was to familiarize themselves with the conditions and rules of the competition.

No referee came down to the center of the arena. When Tang Leiguang and his opponent stood on opposite sides of the venue, a beam of light blocked each of them.

A somewhat aged voice rang out, "Prepare, both parties. The moment the light curtain disappears, the competition begins." This was obviously not the Hall Master’s voice, but someone else in the Sanctuary’s.
