Chapter 744: Chapter 372 - Kongkong’s Preparation for a Serious Confrontation_1

The third round of the round-robin formally ended. Although only just over a third had been played so far, the structure of each group had become much clearer.

Long Dangdang, Ling Menglu, and Wang Changxin all had three wins in three games, and stood a good chance of advancing. Conversely, Yue Li and Tao Linlin mainly hoped to achieve as many victories as possible in the round-robin, so that they would rank well within their Temple when the tournament concluded. For them, making it to the finals and becoming one of the top thirty-six would already be an impressive accomplishment.

The biggest surprise naturally was Long Kongkong’s three victories in the Group of Death, including a win over Shi Zeyu, the top seed from the Knights Temple. In the upcoming matches, as long as he could defeat either Cai Caijuan or Zisang Liuying, a top-eight finish would be all but secured, and he would stand out from his group. And given the Rat King’s restraining effect on other magical beasts, Cai Caijuan definitely did not want to face him.

The brothers Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were attracting more and more attention. Whether it was the other competitors or the various Sacred Legates, they had all started to take the twins seriously.

Despite his loss to Long Kongkong, Shi Zeyu and the Knights Temple still emerged as the biggest winners. Everyone had believed that Shi Zeyu, who could have potentially become the next leader, would win, but he lost to Long Kongkong, also of the Knights Temple. Just how deep was the Knights Temple’s hidden strength? And there was also Long Dangdang, who could be either a dragon mage or a dragon knight. If all three of these young talents belonged to the Knights Temple, the Magic Temple and the Priests Temple, despite boasting geniuses seen once in a millennium, would likely be left trailing behind based on the abilities these three displayed.

Unaware of the undercurrents within the Sacred Legates, Long Dangdang and the others returned to their accommodation, where Dangdang, restraining an overly excited Kongkong, pulled everyone together for more intense cultivation.

With the evolution of his Dazzling Starlight Spirit Furnace, Kongkong’s role in the team was becoming greater and greater. During cultivation, he was definitely the core. With him around, their team stood high above all others of their age in terms of cultivation alone. According to their current rate of training, the whole team could potentially touch the 9th Rank within five years. How old were they right now?

Not to mention, many of them were practicing both internal and external spiritual power at the same time. In the future, the 1st level of 9th Rank would surely not be a bottleneck for them.

In the fourth day’s match, Wang Changxin lost to Chu Yu. Chu Yu had not only the Cyclical Reincarnation Sword, but he was also proficient in the combat skills of an assassin, comparable in talent to Zisang Liuying and Ling Menglu. He used a special skill to resist the full outbreak of Changxin’s World Supremacy Spirit Furnace, and obtained a smooth victory.

The remaining matches in the round-robin would be dominated by the powerhouses. Only the two key battles within the Group of Death drew attention.

These were Long Kongkong against Cai Caijuan and Zisang Liuying against Shi Zeyu.

These matches determined who would advance. Under the Rat King’s watchful guard, the White Phoenix, restrained by her bloodline, was nearly bitten to death by the Rat King, and her battle strength hadn’t even reached one-third. Without the amplification of a summoned birth sign beast, Kongkong’s Holy Abyss’s Diversion was something Cai Caijuan just couldn’t resist. Cai Caijuan was also still at 7th Rank and hadn’t even obtained a Spirit Palisade yet. As a summoner, along with the Fear and Sorrow Domain’s natural restraint of all kinds of summoned beasts, even a Level 9 beast could hardly ride out Kongkong’s defense at once. This fight ended predictably with Kongkong emerging victorious and he successfully advanced from the Group of Death.

However, the fight between Zisang Liuying and Shi Zeyu was as intense as planetary collision. Unaffected by his previous defeat to Kongkong, Shi Zeyu even seemed to have an urge to advance to the finals along with Kongkong. He launched a violent attack on Liuying with his luminous unicorn king and Adamantine Cathedra battle armor, which indeed caused Liuying some trouble. In the end, she summoned the Chaos Dragon for the first time in front of the upper ranks of the six Great Sacred Temples, defeating Shi Zeyu only after suppressing the luminous unicorn king. Shi Zeyu was practically disqualified, having been defeated twice in the group, unless Liuying could defeat Kongkong. Judging from the fighting strength exhibited by Liuying, this didn’t seem impossible. However, if Kongkong were to be defeated in this group again, then she, the Elements Saintess, would have earned a victory against the knights’ dual stars, and the situation would change again.

Considering the strengths displayed by everyone, Cai Caijuan, who also had one loss, was clearly weaker than Shi Zeyu.

In the end, Shi Zeyu triumphed over Cai Caijuan, but Cai Caijuan had also lost twice. They could only hope for the match between Kongkong and Liuying - if Liuying lost to Kongkong in the last match, they, with two losses too, could still participate in a tiebreaker.

Under these circumstances, the round-robin matches entered the final day.

By the last day, the prospects for the qualifiers had become pretty much clear,

In the Blue group, Ling Menglu emerged as the leader, and Tang Leiguang, with his strong performance, clinched victory in all remaining matches except the one against Menglu, qualifying as the runner-up of his group.
