He slapped the table suddenly and stood up and said, "It means contempt, contempt for us. They look down on us at all. They think that just sending a reserve team can defeat us. This is a slap in the face, do you know? This is the most direct slap in the face. According to the rules of the conference, registration has been terminated until today. They will use this lineup to compete with us. Ma Rulong."

"Come on." A male student sitting at the top of the team member, suddenly stood up. His appearance was somewhat similar to the angry old man. He was very tall and burly, with short hair, but lacked a curly beard. His eyes were shining, and his whole body was bursting with endless power.

"If you lose to a lineup like Shrek Academy in this game, you, the captain, get out of Mingde Hall."

"Yes." Ma Rulong's answer was still just one word, but the loud voice was already full of murderous aura.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry. I don't think things are that simple." Sitting opposite Ma Rulong, the captain of the reserve team, who was less than fifteen years old, was a pretty boy with bright blue eyes, a slender figure and straight figure. His hands on the table were extremely white and slender, and his jade-like color was difficult for girls to possess. He seemed to care about his hands very much. Even when he was talking to Mr. Ma, he was always looking at his hands, as if he was admiring the most exquisite works of art in the world.

Old Ma frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "What does it mean not that simple?"

The pretty boy still looked at his fingers and said, "Shrek Academy is not a fool. Don't they know that sending three people is definitely not our opponents? I am very confident in Brother Rulong. I think they may have encountered an accident. Didn't Shrek Academy always attach great importance to us? Are they so careless?"

Mr. Ma's face turned slightly red when he said it. Of course, he had this idea in his heart, but the previous words were to encourage the students.

"Of course that is the best. Laughing in the world, you'd better focus on the students under the age of fifteen in Shrek Academy. In the next competition, they will be your opponent."

The pretty boy Xiao Hongchen finally raised his head and smiled slightly. The smile actually gave people a stunning feeling, "Old Ma, my only opponent is myself."

Ma Rulong, opposite, looked dark, "Smile Hongchen, be honest."

Xiao Hongchen smiled and said, "Brother Ma, I'm very honest! You should work hard. Don't face such a Shrek Academy that has lost the game. Ma Laoke said just now that you will leave Mingde Hall. What a pity, right?"

"You..." Ma Rulong's eyes suddenly appeared, but Old Ma glared at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Sit down. Okay, I'll start to arrange the first round players now."

Although Xiao Hongchen is just the captain of the reserve team, it seems that whether it is the captain Ma Rulong or the two old men who are leading the team, they are a little afraid of him. Although Xiao Hongchen always smiles on the surface, the arrogance deep in his eyes seems to feel that he is above everyone else.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Xingluo City, the capital of Xingluo Empire revealed a serious atmosphere.

All the streets around Xingluo Plaza were blocked by soldiers with distinctive armor, especially near the Star Emperor Hotel, thousands of soldiers were stationed. The streets leading to Xingluo Plaza from here have been completely martial law. Only the participating teams of various academies who walked out of the Star Emperor Hotel can pass.

The competition platform used for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not built in the center of Xingluo Square, but in front of the main gate of the imperial city. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of Xingluo Empire can directly watch the battle with his civil and military ministers on the top of the imperial city. Not only does he have the best vision, but he is also safe and worry-free.

The entire competition platform is 100 meters in height and 5 meters high. There are 108 metal pillars on the outside of the competition platform. This is not a decoration, but a practical protective soul guide. After the competition begins, 108 soul masters will preside over the competition platform protection. These metal pillars will form a protective cover to block all soul skills inside, so as not to destroy the imperial city or injure the innocent.

It took a huge amount of money to build this competition platform alone, and it was indeed difficult to mobilize 108 soul masters to serve the competition for more than a month.

At this time, Xingluo Plaza was empty, and there was no one in the square except for the soldiers in the distance.

The last time the soul fighting competition of the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy was held in the Xingluo Empire. This time, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire attached great importance to it. Not only did they dispatch large troops to maintain order, but they also came up with many new solutions.

There are many iron fences in the square. These iron fences with a height of about 1.5 meters will not affect the sight of most people, but they divide the square into different areas. Whether the audience enters or shows up, there are different entrances and exits. In this way, it will be much easier for soldiers to maintain order. There will be clear restrictions on the number of people accommodated in each area.

The Imperial City is on the north side, facing north and south, and a luxurious rest area is also built on the west side of the competition platform, which is specially provided for players of various academies. However, the rest area can only accommodate about seventy academies. Obviously, there is no preparation for the first round of the eliminated academies. This is not a waste. It can also inspire the fighting spirit of the participating students.

Since the Soul Fighting Competition of the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy has been changed to the current competition system, except for the final stage of the competition, the most exciting thing is actually the first round of knockout matches, which are far more exciting than the subsequent round-robin competition.

There can also be tactical arrangements in the round-robin competition, or even tactical failures. However, this first round is a direct knockout match. If you lose, you have to leave. Any participating academy must pass this level. Even the previous champion Shrek Academy is the same. There are byes drawn in the competition, but no academy can directly enjoy the privilege of byes.

Early in the morning, the team leaders of each academies had already arrived at the Imperial City first and draw lots based on the participating license plates received when registering. At this time, the lottery ceremony had been completed. The official from the Xingluo Empire had counted the lottery results. Once the competition order came out, the final preparation work in the early stage of the competition would be completed.

The sun slowly rose from the far east to the sky, and a warm feeling suddenly rose in Xingluo City, located in the middle of the continent.

At the top of the Imperial City, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown stood with his hands behind his back. The position he was standing at the center of the entrance of the Imperial City, and it was also the best place to watch the competition stage below.

There was also a beautiful woman wearing gorgeous palace clothes beside him, who was respectfully and gentlely accompanying her. A few steps behind were the civil and military officials of the Xingluo Empire.

"Your Majesty." An old man wearing a bright red civil servant's costume quickly stepped forward and came to the man to salute respectfully. It can be seen from the embroidered python patterns on his robe that the old man's status is extremely noble. It can be described as a great minister.

"Prime Minister, what's the arrangement?" His Majesty the Emperor of Xingluo Empire asked with a smile.

The Prime Minister said respectfully: "Everything has been arranged. The lottery has been completed and the competition has been arranged. The outer order is in order. People can be allowed to enter."

Emperor Xingluo smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll send me the order, and all the checkpoints will start to release people to the venue, control the speed and maintain good order. If anyone is responsible, there will be problems, and severe punishment will be severe."

"Yes." The Prime Minister took a few steps back before turning around.

Emperor Xingluo said to the beautiful woman beside him: "Empress, I have been waiting for this grand event for twenty years. I really miss my youth! Unfortunately, there are too many rules for the royal family, otherwise I really wanted to participate in it once."

The queen smiled slightly and said, "The Emperor always has the heart of a warrior."

Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "Look, the students of all the colleges have already entered the competition first. But today they cannot use the rest area. Only those who win the knockout round are eligible to enter the rest area. It is said that only ten people came to Shrek Academy this time. Many of the participating team members are very young. One of the leading players is Dai Hao's eldest son. I originally wanted to transfer Dai Hao back to watch the game, after all, it will be only once in our country in twenty years. But then I thought about it, the Sun and Moon Empire is getting more and more restless, and I feel more at ease with him in Xijiang."

The queen just listened gently and had no comments. As the mother of the country, she could not interfere in politics, especially when there were many civil and military officials on both sides. Those generals were powerful soul masters, and their ears were very strong.

At this moment, people began to enter the venue from all directions of Xingluo Plaza. Under the guidance of the military, they gathered in the venue like long dragons.

It is not a free fee to watch the Soul Fighting Competition of the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy. The daily entrance fee is not too expensive, just two golden soul coins. However, although Xingluo Plaza has strictly controlled the number of people entering the game, it can also accommodate more than 200,000 people to watch the game at the same time. Two golden soul coins are only the most basic price. The closer the area to the competition are, the more expensive the entrance fee. In the nearest viewing area to the competition stage, everyone must pay 100 golden soul coins to enter the game.

For civilians, this is a lot of money, but for some merchants and nobles, it is nothing.

The Xingluo Empire adopted the method of treating the audience equally. If you have money, you can only be in front of the game. But the treatment is the same. You can only watch the game while standing. There is no seat. This way you can accommodate more people.
