Chapter 374 Tianhu Holy Land
After the Imperial League group stage was over, the top nine teams emerged.
According to the comprehensive ranking of points plus head points, these nine teams are -
Tian Shen Team.
Fu Long Team.
Fu Shen Team.
Leng Yue Team.
Kun Lun Team.
Ling Xiao Ge Team.
Overlord Team.
The strongest team on the surface.
Leng Han Palace Team.
Among them, Tian Shen Team and Fu Long Team both have 54 points, but Tian Shen Team has one more head point than Fu Long.
Although one more head point is also a lot, this advantage can't really be said to be very big.
Among the 36 participating teams, there are super strong ones, such as Tian Shen and Fu Long, but the rest can't really be humiliated by the word "bottom of the fish".
Even Fei Xian's Wuliang Team, although eliminated, still got more than ten points after six games.
The Fu Shen team, which was wiped out by Lin Zijin in a one-on-six due to a conflict at the Space Center, actually got 53 points in the six group matches and ranked third among the top nine!
Although this result is not as impressive as Tian Shen and Fu Long, it must be said that it is also a very good result.
So the Fu Shen team was very excited from top to bottom.
But when talking about the conflict with Fu Long at the Space Center, this Empire League Rising Star team, which was obviously named against Fu Long team, became very low-key.
"No, no, haha, it's all a misunderstanding, it's long gone!"
"Name? Hi, I said some jokes before, but it's just a way for young people to pay tribute."
"Well, of course we have confidence in the future, we will play every game with our heart."
"What do you think of Fu Long Team's refusal to accept interviews in the last group match? Sorry, we are not very clear about this matter, um, yes, we didn't 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 game and don't want to pay too much attention to things that have nothing to do with us. Well, okay, thank you!"
Chang Haiyan, the captain of Fu Shen Team, who accepted an exclusive interview with Ziyun Media, was very low-key when facing the topic about Fu Long Team mentioned by the host.
It can be seen from the video that the host wanted to get Chang Haiyan's words at that time, hoping that he could tell what happened in the virtual hall that day.
But Chang Haiyan always avoided it, no matter how the host guided him, he didn't say it.
Everything that happened that day was simply a nightmare for the members of the entire Fu Shen Team!
If they hadn't had a good teacher who enlightened them at the first time and helped them overcome the initial psychological difficulties, I'm afraid their journey in the Empire League would have been completely over at that moment!
The reason why they were able to perform so well in the next six games was because of the excitement of being challenged by six people that day.
Of course, if there was no Teacher Xing, that kind of excitement might have been a fatal blow.
As the new upstarts of Ziyun Star, the Tianshen Team is naturally also the darling of the media. In the past two days, they also took time to accept an interview with a large Ziyun media and did an interview program.
Captain Mu Yuhai, with shield warrior Wu Xuewei, appeared on this program together.
Facing the host's question about Fu Long, Mu Yuhai was helpless and speechless.
Because the previous video incident once pushed them to the forefront.
Fortunately, there were more topics about the Fu Long team, which gradually let people let go of that incident.
This is also the home advantage. Otherwise, if it were a team from another planet, how could the media in Ziyun let it go easily?
It has been extensively dug, and then talked about it.
When Mu Yuhai faced the host's question about the championship, he almost didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "We came to participate in the competition, definitely for the championship trophy. But the other opponents are also very strong, so we just need to play every game well."
But the host refused to let him go, and asked: "You are a group of young people, I hope to hear your high-spirited conversations in the video that day!"
Mu Yuhai and Wu Xuewei looked at the host a little speechlessly, thinking that you are trying to make trouble, right?
We are all family, why do this?
To be honest, the current situation is like this-
With the dust settling on the group stage results, the outstanding Fu Long team slapped the faces of many powerful people.
These people have extremely high status, especially in the commentary, analysis and coaching circles, they have a lot of say.
The number of supporters behind each person is also an astonishing number, all in the hundreds of millions, or even billions!
The more such people are, the more cautious they should be when speaking. Because once the words are spoken, they will be remembered.
They were not optimistic about Fu Long at first, nor were they optimistic about Fu Long in the middle, and later... it was too late to sheath the sword!
If you are not optimistic, who do you think you are?
Therefore, starting with the topic that Fu Long can't go far, it seems too low-level!
It also makes them look too stingy!
Then they can only criticize from other aspects, such as Xiaobai and Lin Zijin being late for the last group match, and Lao Liu walking out of the press conference. Through these methods, they question the character of Fu Long's players, and gradually turn the topic to the fact that this team can't go far.
To be honest, these voices are really rampant now.
If Fu Long didn't have so many supporters, he might have been crushed by them in public opinion.
But the current situation is not very optimistic.
Fu Long's foundation is in Feixian. No matter how powerful those people in Feixian are, few can affect the entire Zulong.
Although there have been a lot of new fans in recent times, the fighting power is still lacking compared to those old trolls.
Therefore, the voices outside are generally not optimistic about Fu Long, or they don't like Fu Long.
This naturally includes the media interviewing the Tianshen team.
They really hope that the young people of Team Tianshen can directly say that once they meet in the finals, they will definitely beat Fu Long!
Give this ignorant remote planet team a hard lesson.
But the problem is, no matter what the outside voices are, no matter whether those old haters pretend to be stupid or blind, the people in these participating teams are neither stupid nor blind!
How strong is Team Fu Long?
This is actually beyond doubt!
Team Fushen felt the most deeply, and even in the team meeting, they had strategically given up the game with Fu Long. Prepare to keep more energy to deal with other teams!
As long as they can get more points that were originally uncertain from other teams, it will be enough to make up for the points lost from Fu Long.
As for fighting, they can't even beat one person, what's the point of fighting?
Although the feelings of the other teams are not as deep as those of Team Fushen, each of them has a coach and a professional analyst!
The players of Fu Long Team who don't even seem to have reached the intermediate level are all monsters!
At such a young age, they have experienced many battles.
Many people even doubt how they did it?
Feixian is located in the borderland and has been attacked by dimensional creatures many times, so they are experienced?
But why is Wuliang Team, which also came from Feixian, not so strong?
So in the end, in Fu Long Team, it is not only Bai Muye and Lin Zijin who are strong, but it is just because the light on them is too strong, suppressing the performance of others.
Once those people are given a chance, even Si Yin, who was once timid and dared not fight, is also fierce!
Xiao Gu, who was ridiculed by others, finally appeared in the third round of the group stage, and directly demonstrated what it means to make a big splash without making a sound.
So, the attitude of the outside world towards Fu Long can be ridiculed, mocked, or questioned, anyway, it doesn't matter what you say.
But these people who are also participating in the Imperial League really dare not say anything.
There is a rest period of about half a month between the group stage and the knockout stage.
There is a reason for such a long rest period.
The official hopes that these participating teams can use this half month to continue to significantly improve the strength of those players!
Playing in this top league, there must be a lot of insights.
As for whether the foundation is solid enough, they are all young geniuses who have been practicing for many years, and most of them have a very good foundation.
Therefore, this half month is the time for the players in these teams to improve madly!
The empire needs geniuses, but the empire needs strong people more!
As for what to do if there is no spirit bead?
If a team that has always been able to enter the Empire League cannot even solve this problem, it can only be said that everyone in this team from top to bottom is brain-dead.
If there is a smart person, there will be no shortage of this money.
The official of the Empire League hopes to see a higher intensity confrontation and a more exciting and intense game in the final.
This is the significance of resting for such a long time.
For these participating teams, this kind of improvement is indeed needed.
Now that we are here, whoever doesn't want to win the championship is a puppy!
Once you enter the finals, you will immediately face the extremely fierce and cruel single round-robin tournament.
Although it cannot be said that one battle determines life and death, in the round-robin tournament of the finals, you must not lose any points that should not be lost!
So no one will be vague about improving their strength.
There are only eight games in the finals, because the intensity of this kind of game is too high, so even if the game starts, it will only be played once a week.
Eight games will take about two months, and if you win all, you will get 72 points.
The competition system of the Imperial League is often adjusted. If it is just a simple calculation of points.
Then from ancient times to the present, it seems that only in the second or third session of the Imperial League, there has been such a terrible full-score team!
The members of that team have now become big bosses in the Zulong Empire.
Since then, countless years have passed, and no team has been able to get a perfect score.
In the eyes of many analysts, this session is almost impossible.
"Although the Fu Long team has caused some trouble recently and has some problems with its reputation, it must be said that the overall strength of this team is still very strong. According to my analysis, any member of the Fu Long team has the strength to challenge the lower level... Yes, that is to say, these junior masters of Fu Long have the ability to fight the intermediate masters."
A very famous analyst, facing the camera, smiled and talked freely: "And the Tianshen team is also very strong. They are ahead of Fu Long by one head point in the group stage and ranked first, which is enough to show their strength. Therefore, with two such teams existing at the same time, it is unlikely to get a perfect score!"
"According to my prediction, the two teams with the most hope of competing for the championship in the next finals are Tianshen and Fu Long, but other teams are not without a chance. Maybe Tianshen and Fu Long will both lose."
As the analyst said, he couldn't help laughing.
After all, it is a game in the virtual world, not in reality.
Even if you lose this game, you will still be alive and kicking in the next game.
It would be fun if the competition system of the Imperial League could be a little more ruthless - dead people are not allowed to appear in the next game.
As long as you die, you will be completely eliminated!
I remember which Imperial League did this.
The result was very ugly.
Because all teams racked their brains to kill each other in battle.
Before the group stage was over, the participating players were almost "dead"... That game was also stopped halfway, and the rematch that was held later became a big joke.
In a luxurious top-level hotel in Ziyun Imperial City.
Shangguan Wenping leaned on the bed, watching the analyst on the screen talking in plain language, with his two arms, one on the left and one on the right, hugging two young and beautiful girls.
He originally disdained the girls from the Zulong Empire.
The result... The result was of course really delicious!
The same eyes and skin, but to him, it has a hint of exoticism.
This feels great.
He has been here for a while.
He came here before the start of the Imperial League.
Being handsome and rich, and speaking fluent Ziyun Mandarin, Shangguan Wenping soon got along well in Ziyun.
He did not deliberately get in touch with the upper class here, but there was no shortage of girls around him.
The accident that happened in the Imperial City area a few days ago actually shocked Shangguan Wenming.
He even quickly turned his attention to Bai Muye!
The Great Devil once said in the Black Domain that he was Bai Muye.
Of course, no one would take this seriously.
But think about it the other way around, is it possible?
The royal families of the three empires and those powerful bosses hold the management rights of the Black Domain. Is there really no other backdoor to open?
The reason why the Shangguan family asked Shangguan Wenping to do this is mainly because Shangguan Wenping has a very high talent in this area.
His sharpness and wisdom far surpass those of ordinary people.
In the battle of Black Domain, the Great Demon King and Wen Jun probably knew that they had angered the public. After that battle, the two of them never went online at all.
However, judging from their performance on weekdays, they might not be really afraid of something.
So, is it possible that they are participating in the Empire League and have no time to split up?
Although there are many intervals between the games, people's energy is limited after all.
Therefore, in addition to picking up girls these days, Shangguan Wenping has spent most of his energy on studying super teams such as Fu Long and Tian Shen.
In the incident that happened a few days ago, many people also suspected that the people who defeated the gods were Bai Muye and Lin Zijin.
Although the royal family quickly spoke out to refute the rumor.
But there is a loophole in it!
The statement did not say that the two people were not Bai Muye and Lin Zijin, but only said that the two people were the royal family's worshipers!
Although Bai Muye and Lin Zijin are both very young, no one stipulates that young people cannot be members of the Royal Family Worship Group, right?
If Bai Muye is really the Great Demon King, then according to Grandpa, he may really be able to fight with that god-level Protoss creature.
Of course, all of this, so far, is just an inference of Shangguan Wenping.
Don't take it seriously.
But this does not prevent him from staring at the Fu Long team and Bai Muye.
"Mr. Duan, what are you thinking about? It's not good to be absent-minded when guarding our two beauties!" The beautiful girl with long black hair complained softly with her head on Shangguan Wenping's left shoulder, more like a spoiled child.
"Haha, you little goblin, what's wrong, didn't I feed you enough last night?" Shangguan Wenping hugged the beautiful girl with long black hair and moved her hand.
"Oh, you're so annoying!" The girl's tone became more delicate.
Shangguan Wenping laughed loudly, and then said to the girl on the right: "What about you? Are you full?"
The girl on the right gave him a look: ←←
Then she said: "Mr. Duan, you said you want to invest in Ziyun, is there anything suitable for us sisters?"
Hei Changzhi hummed and said: "Yes, Mr. Duan, we are all people with ideals, and we don't want to be just canaries and be raised by you."
"What's wrong with being a canary? How many people want to be one but don't have the opportunity yet." Shangguan Wenping said with a smile.
The two girls looked at each other across Shangguan Wenping's exposed chest, and both shut their mouths rationally.
From the beginning, they knew that this Mr. Duan must not be offended even if they die!
After Shangguan Wenping came to Ziyun, he changed his name to Duan Yong.
This name seems ordinary, but in fact, the identity behind it is quite amazing!
Tianhu Holy Land, Mr. Duan!
Just like most people in the world don't know what kind of power and status the Bai family and the Lin family have, most people don't know about the Duan family in Tianhu Holy Land.
But everyone who knows them knows very well what kind of amazing background and power this ancient family has.
Tianhu Holy Land also has a title that is only circulated among high-level spiritual warriors, called - God's Domain Express!
It is said that as long as the strong man at the peak of the Grand Master level enters Tianhu Holy Land for retreat, at least one or two months, and at most three or five years, there is more than 70% chance that he can directly step into the God-level realm!
Too many Grand Masters at the peak level can't cross the threshold in their entire lives, but it becomes relatively easy here in Tianhu Holy Land.
So the attraction of this place to top strong men can be imagined.
The key is that the Duan family in Tianhu Holy Land is not in the sphere of influence of the three major empires, but an independent country!
Of course, they have not really established a country, and they are not well-known among the people, and have always been very low-key.
In fact, just like the planet where the Howling Moon Wolf lives, there are countless planets like this in the huge Andromeda Galaxy.
Even if the three empires include these areas in their respective territories, it does not mean that they have the ability to conquer all places.
Even if they have the ability, the three empires will not do so.
Because once they do so, the losses will inevitably be greater than the gains. It is better to maintain a relationship of mutual respect and occasionally cooperate.
These are things that the people of the three empires do not know at all and will probably never understand.
Therefore, when Shangguan Wenping appeared in Ziyun as Duan Yong, there were countless people who wanted to make friends with him!
Among them was Lin Qi, the internal contact person of the Lin Family Elders Council, who was eager to break through himself, wanted to step into the God Realm, and obtain a higher status.
As for why Shangguan Wenping dared to use the identity of Duan Yong, the reason was also very simple.
Because his mother's surname was Duan.
She was the daughter of the Duan Family in Tianhu Holy Land.
