Chapter 138 The Competition Begins, Shrek Vs. Royal Fighting Team 2
The capital of the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City.
The Elite Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Continent is about to begin.
In the next period of time, all the Tiandou regional qualifiers will be held here.
The competition system of the Soul Master Competition is not complicated.
In addition to the three places of the Wuhun Hall team, the Tiandou Royal team and the Xingluo Royal team that were sent to the finals, the two empires were divided into multiple competition areas to compete for 15 final places, and finally gathered into 33 teams to compete for the final championship in Wuhun City.
On the Tiandou Empire side, including the surrounding kingdoms and principalities, there are five competition areas for the preliminaries. Because the Tiandou competition area is the core of the empire and has more advanced colleges, there are more places to qualify in the end, and five teams will enter the finals.
The preliminaries are team battles, and the top five teams are ranked according to the winning points.
Twenty-eight teams will play 27 rounds of preliminaries, which means a preliminaries time of nearly a month, which is also a test. Twenty-seven consecutive days of competition are enough to drag down teams with poor endurance.
At this time, as the largest competition area, Tiandou City is holding a grand opening ceremony.
As the most grand soul master competition in the soul master world, it attracts not only the attention of soul masters, but also the royal family, nobles and civilians. Every citizen of Tiandou City regards this competition as the most grand festival.
The opening ceremony was held in the Tiandou Grand Soul Fighting Arena in Tiandou City.
As the main competition venue of the Tiandou Division, the Tiandou Grand Soul Fighting Arena has stopped all soul fighting competitions a month ago and carried out internal renovations. All the sub-areas in the Grand Soul Fighting Arena are combined with the main soul fighting center to form an extremely huge competition venue.
In addition to the VIP area retained on the north side of the entire competition venue, the renovated Grand Soul Fighting Arena can accommodate 80,000 spectators at the same time.
Early in the morning before dawn, the renovated Tiandou Grand Soul Fighting Arena has already welcomed a large number of spectators.
At the same time, many imperial nobles gathered outside to see if there is a chance to get to know the young talents in the empire first.
In Douluo Continent, soul masters are undoubtedly a scarce resource, and the number has never exceeded six figures.
The young soul masters who can participate in the soul master competition are among the best. These people naturally don't want to miss the opportunity. It is always worthwhile to recruit one if they can.
In addition, the city has mobilized a full 5,000 city defense troops to maintain order and avoid riots as much as possible.
However, these things have nothing to do with Su Cheng.
At this time, the Royal Dou Team 2 led by him had already entered the rest area waiting for the game to start. There is a rest area specially provided for each participating academy in the main arena. There are thousands of seats in it, divided into areas, so as to provide various soul master students with rest and waiting.
To be honest, it is no wonder that Qin Ming was not optimistic about Su Cheng's participation in the second team.
Except for Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong, the others in this team are really not up to the standard.
At first glance, no one has reached level 40 or above. Even Ning Rongrong is only level 39 now. I don't know if she will have the opportunity to be promoted to Soul Sect before the finals.
There were quite a few regular members and substitutes of the Royal Fighting Team II, all waiting to win by doing nothing. They gathered in the back seats to chat.
Su Cheng didn't care about this either. He sat alone in the front and looked around at other teams.
At this time, his eyes suddenly paused, and his mental power transmitted: "Look over there."
Ah Yin was sitting next to Su Cheng.
She appeared in the form of a spirit at this time. No one except Su Cheng could find her existence.
Following Su Cheng's line of sight, her eyes also fell on Tang San.
"He is..."
Su Cheng nodded slightly, "He is Tang San."
"You said he is..." At the end, Ah Yin's voice gradually paused, with a complicated look.
"He is another soul." Su Cheng added directly, "You can't see anything now. When I fight him, you will feel that he is wrong."
There are too many people here, and there are teachers from various colleges. It is too rude to release the field.
When they meet in the future, as long as the domain is covered, with the degree of fit between Ah Yin and the domain, a little exploration will be able to detect the operation of the Xuantian Gong in Tang San's body.
The truth will be clear at that time.
After Su Cheng finished speaking, he ignored Tang San.
He turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was sitting in the corner in silence, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
Ah Yin saw him silent and looked sideways in a strange way.
After seeing Su Cheng's expression, he also turned his eyes and noticed Zhu Zhuqing sitting there with a gloomy face, and was slightly stunned.
He looked back at Su Cheng again, and then fell silent.
She rarely saw Su Cheng show such an expression.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was a little ugly at this moment.
The reason was simple, the clothes of the Shrek team were really weird.
The standard Shrek Academy uniform was a color between yellow and green. In the words of other students, it was shit green.
However, for this college competition, Dean Flanders specially ordered a new set of school uniforms for them.
In addition to the shit green color, each person also had a Shrek pattern on his chest that almost occupied the entire chest. This pattern was a bright emerald green.
This is not a big deal. What is even more outrageous is that behind each person, there are six bright big characters embroidered with red silk thread, "Sincerely looking for title sponsorship advertisements". There is also a line of small characters below the six big characters, "Please consult Mr. Flanders, the dean of Shrek Academy, for advertising fees".
But she didn't want to argue too much with Flanders over such trivial matters, so she had to sit in the corner and try to reduce her presence.
At this time, she seemed to be aware of something and raised her head sharply.
As a result, she instantly noticed Su Cheng sitting in the Tiandou Royal Team area in the distance, who was looking at her with a mocking look at this time, and she couldn't help but grind her teeth secretly.
She cursed in a low voice: "Damn it."
I don't know whether this is scolding Flanders or Su Cheng.
Not long after, the staff of the competition entered the rest area and organized the students who had already arrived to enter.
With the home team's recommendation, the Tiandou Second Team led by Su Cheng was the first team to enter.
The stands that can accommodate 80,000 spectators are all decorated with silver backgrounds. Although it was morning, the surroundings were all lit with special magic devices, which not only gave people a sense of luxury but also a sense of grandeur.
The huge and open square was surrounded by countless shouting and cheering spectators. In front of the central venue, there was a rostrum with a golden background. Behind the rostrum was the renovated VIP area.
The wide venue was more than 150 meters in diameter, and there was a special area in the center for the teams to wait. Every college entered the venue and there was a special emcee on the rostrum to introduce them.
"The first team to enter was the Tiandou Royal College team, with a total of 16 students participating. Their registration slogan was, friendship first, competition second. As expected of the Royal Team's representatives, their slogan was really quite grand. I hope they can fully demonstrate their strength and not let go easily for the sake of friendship."
"..."
Su Cheng ignored the cheers and glanced in the direction of the VIP desk.
In the center of the first row sat a person wearing a golden red imperial robe and a golden diamond crown. His face was like an ancient moon and he looked a little old. He was the Tiandou Emperor Xue Ye.
On his left sat the representative of the Tiandou City Wuhun Temple, the platinum bishop Salas. He was covered in a red dress, with a five-pointed platinum crown on his head, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked indifferent to the grand occasion around him.
On the right of the emperor sat Su Cheng's old acquaintance, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. He wore a white robe today and a seven-treasure purple gold crown that symbolized his status. As one of the top three leaders of the seven major sects, he was fully qualified to sit in this position.
After noticing Su Cheng's gaze, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly to him, and smiled at Ning Rongrong who was standing behind him.
There were only three of them in the first row of the VIP seats.
Prince Xuexing and the three members of the Tiandou Royal Academy were all sitting in the second row of the VIP seats.
As the Shrek Academy team stood at the back of the academy square, all participating academy teams finally entered the venue.
Afterwards, the speeches of the emperor and Ning Fengzhi were just some old-fashioned things, and they ended quickly without taking much time. However, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, actually said that he was optimistic about the Tiandou Royal Team, which was a bit surprising.
But it was normal to think about it carefully.
After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has always been openly supporting the Tiandou Royal Family, and it is reasonable to say that his only daughter is studying in the Tiandou Royal Academy.
Then, Platinum Bishop Salas slowly stood up. Led by the palace maid, he walked to the emcee and began to draw lots. He did not speak, and each time a pair of opponents were drawn, he handed it to the emcee to announce.
"In the first round of the preliminaries, Canghui College will play against Zixing College."
"In the first round of the preliminaries, Auckland College will play against Huoyan Guanghui College."
"..."
"In the first round of the preliminaries, Tiandou Royal College will play against Shrek College."
"..."
The people from Shrek College didn't pay much attention to the matchups of other colleges. However, when they heard that their first round opponent was actually the second team of Tiandou Royal College, the expressions on their faces became slightly distorted.
To be precise, it was a bit ugly.
Except for Tailong, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiangzhu who were from Lanba College, Dai Mubai and others all thought of the soul master with the sword martial soul.
For a while, there was an endless stream of boos, and many viewers were shouting the word "cheating".
In their opinion, the second team of Tiandou Royal College was obviously looking for a soft persimmon to squeeze, and the clothes of Shrek College did not look like a soul master team at all, but more like a group of clowns.
After the draw, the platinum bishop Salas looked at the audience and said calmly: "I drew the lot without falsehood. I swear on the honor of the Spirit Hall. At the same time, I hereby announce that all the participating students of the Spirit Master Academy present who can enter the finals will be allowed to join the Spirit Hall directly as an exception."
When this was said, the audience was not surprised, but the spirit masters in the venue were already in an uproar.
What is the Spirit Hall?
It is the highest place in the Spirit Hall after the Pope's Palace and the Douluo Palace. There is only one in the capital of the two empires in the whole continent.
The Pope's Palace is a place exclusively for the Pope, and the Douluo Palace is a symbolic existence. Therefore, the status of the Spirit Hall is actually the highest institution in the Spirit Hall.
Being able to directly enter the Spirit Temple is a shortcut to improving a soul master's strength.
Not only does it have the best treatment, but it also has various training measures and the honor of the Spirit Temple, all of which are extremely attractive to ordinary soul masters.
After hearing the words of the platinum bishop, Emperor Xue Ye's face obviously sank. Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, shook his head gently at the emperor, which made his face slightly relieved.
Su Cheng's eyes moved slightly.
Has the conflict between the Spirit Temple and the Empire intensified to this extent? It is almost exposed.
However, these things have little to do with him. He came to the second team to participate in the preliminaries just to understand the situation of the Five Elements Academy.
"Okay, then the first match of the first round of the preliminaries will be between Tiandou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy. All participating academies leave the field, and the two academies that will compete later please prepare. The game will officially begin in half an hour."
"Xiao San, do we still need to use substitutes?" Dai Mubai looked at Tang San beside him with a serious expression.
The pressure that person brought to him was too great.
Because they did not eat the fairy grass, the substitutes now are Ma Hongjun, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and the auxiliary spirit master Yun Qiu they recruited before.
Tang San was silent for a long time after hearing this, and was ready to shake his head and refuse.
Their goal is to enter the finals. There are five places in the Tiandou competition area. Even if they lose the first game, it will not affect the subsequent points competition.
What's more, his strength is different from the past. There is also a very powerful Zhu Zhuqing in the team. At least he will not be suppressed without any chance to fight back.
They win in team strength. No matter how strong Su Cheng is, can he suppress the seven of them alone?
Because of Su Cheng, Shrek Academy also conducted some investigations on the situation of the Royal Fighting Team II in advance, and knew that except for Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong, the others in this team were not strong.
At this time, Tang San suddenly noticed the pale face of Xiao Wu beside him, and his heart tightened immediately.
He stopped shaking his head and said resolutely: "No substitutes, just play with the strongest lineup!"
Since Yu Xiaogang gave him all the command power, he has the power to lead the team to give it a go.
Teacher, for Xiao Wu, please let me be willful once.
I must help Xiao Wu break the inner demon.
Otherwise, the impact on her future is too great.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing behind the team, heard the conversation between the two and sneered in her heart.
But she didn't say much.
Dai Mubai nodded when he heard it, "Xiao San, you come to arrange the tactics."
Although the strongest player in the Shrek Academy team is undoubtedly Zhu Zhuqing, whose soul power has reached level 46.
But as the core of the team battle, the command is still in the hands of the control-type soul master Tang San.
However, the reason why this is possible is that Zhu Zhuqing has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards this.
She has no interest in team command, and even disapproves of team battles.
Unless there is a chance to beat Su Cheng through the team.
But...
She glanced at the Shrek team members and shook her head secretly.
It is impossible.
The preparation time passed quickly, the lights on the field disappeared, and the two teams slowly appeared on the field with loud shouts.
Changes have already occurred in the venue at this time.
In the short half an hour before, the ring that had been prepared long ago was built.
The circular ring is ten meters high and thirty meters in diameter, with a very large area. When the preliminaries really start tomorrow, five rings will be set up here at the same time to facilitate the competition.
In the entire schedule of the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, the preliminaries will take up half of the time. As for the subsequent promotion matches and finals, they will all be held in the large square in front of the Pope's Hall in Wuhun City, the headquarters of Wuhun Hall.
Su Cheng led the 16 members of the Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2 to stand in a row in the center of the ring, facing the members of the Shrek Academy Team on the opposite side.
"Captain, what do you say?" Someone in the second team looked at Su Cheng standing in the front and asked in a low voice.
"Just watch."
The meaning of the great annihilation that he had realized in the Blue Silver Grass Forest before has been transformed into a sword move by him.
Now we are lacking a test target, and the Shrek team may be a good choice.
"Both sides salute, non-participants leave the ring."
After the salute, the extra players left the ring, leaving only the seven people who participated in the first game of the preliminaries.
10,000 days, 7 chapters left.
