Chapter 632 - The Two-On-Two Round Robin (1/2)

Su Mu was sitting cross-legged on his bed with a painful expression on his face, his five big tails moving softly. The hideous, deep cuts on them contrasted sharply with his dense, silky fur. One tail of his had almost been severed by a horrible wound; it looked as if it might snap off any minute.

Faint red light danced around his wounds, accelerating the healing process, but it must be really hurting, from the way he was grimacing.

Opposite Su Mu sat the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yueyan, also known as Tiger King. He was one of the Monster Eight Kings as well. His hands twitched and curled up into fists, his breath heavy and ragged. He had never got so angry in a long time.

He was absolutely shocked by what he was seeing. He hadn't thought that Su Mu's tails had sustained such severe damage, and he suddenly realized why he hadn't used his battle armor.

Losing this match was a huge blow to Su Mu's confidence, and it made the Monster Academy look bad.

The situation was bad enough for them, but Fang'er's remarks made it even worse. Although she said it was just her opinion, Dai Yueyan was convinced that his father was behind it. Knowing Father, he must be using her to put pressure on us to win. The Monster Academy is funded by the government, and clearly Father is not happy with our performance.

Tang Wulin! I'll make you regret what you have done! Dai Yueyan's eyes flashed with anger.

The second round of the one-on-one compet.i.tion lasted two days. Half of the contestants had been eliminated. However, there would be a few more rounds of knockout matches until the remaining number of the partic.i.p.ants totaled 128. Then they would be divided into eight groups and compete in a round robin. The top eight of each group would advance, so a total number of 64 partic.i.p.ants would take part in the final knockout stage.

So to win the one-on-one champions.h.i.+p, one would have to compete in at least 20 matches. The tournament was very lengthy – it would last about two months.

The two-on-two and team battles would follow the similar rules as those of the one-on-one compet.i.tion. But since there were far fewer teams partic.i.p.ating in the two-on-two and team battles, they wouldn't take as many days as the one-on-one compet.i.tion would.

Tang Wulin's unlucky streak finally came to an end after the second round of the one-on-one compet.i.tion. After ten days of fighting, he cruised to the round robin without having to compete against anyone on a par with him, and so did his teammates.

And the four teams of the Shrek Academy had all made it to the round robin of the two-on-two compet.i.tion. In total, 64 teams had advanced, and they had been divided into eight groups. Only the top two teams of each group would gain the chance to compete in the final knockout stage.

As for the team compet.i.tion, 32 teams had made it to the round robin, including Tang Wulin's. They had also been divided into eight groups, but only one team in each group would advance to the final knockout stage.

The one-on-one round robin was not for another two days, but the round robin of the two-on-two and team compet.i.tion had already started.

“We have a team match in the afternoon, so try to save your strength and soul power if you can while fighting your two-on-two match in the morning, and try not to get hurt,” said Tang Wulin. He had become more level-headed than before.

They were partic.i.p.ating for the first time in such a large-scale tournament. After a dozen days of fighting, they had got used to the atmosphere in the stadium.

Tang Wulin was under the most pressure, because the audience booed him as soon as they spotted him, even though he couldn't hear them once he got on the stage.
