Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "In order to ensure the safety of the players on both the semi-finals and the finals, I have decided that in each of the next games, the Empire Guardian Douluo will be the referee and host the game. Today's draw and the first game will be hosted by Senior Huang Jinxu, and Senior Huang's title is Tiansha."

For ordinary people watching the game, His Majesty’s introduction would only cause cheers. But the four participating teams in the audience were all surprised.

Wang Yan said in surprise: "He is Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Sha Douluo, it is him. I thought he had died long ago. I didn't expect that he had defected to the Xingluo Empire."

Ma Xiaotao had already walked to the stage, and Huo Yuhao whispered to Beibei beside him: "Senior Brother, who is this Tiansha Douluo? Is it very powerful?"

Beibei nodded without hesitation and said, "It's amazing. The Xingluo Empire is demonstrating to show its national strength. Tiansha Douluo's martial soul is extremely special, and he uses the stars in the sky as his martial soul. Legend has it that on the day he was born, there was a star in the sky that was particularly bright. After he was born, his martial soul actually woke up on his own. That night, his mother died in blood, and his father died at the age of eight. Then, all relatives and friends around him died one by one. Later, he found out that his martial soul was actually Tiansha Lone Star, which defeated his relatives. Therefore, he was destined to be lonely for a lifetime."

Huo Yuhao said in amazement: "Is there such a martial soul?"

Beibei smiled slightly and said, "The martial souls of our soul masters are all kinds of strange things. What is there? Although Senior Huang's Tiansha Lone Star Martial Soul has caused him to lose all his relatives, it also brought him extremely powerful power. It is said that he practiced without a teacher, completely self-taught and self-created. Along the way, he finally achieved the title of Tiansha Lost. He is only about sixty years old this year, and his cultivation is only ninety-one and second-level. However, it is said that with the blessing of Tiansha Lone Star's star power, he can even compete with the super Douluo at level ninety-five."

"Because I lost my relatives and friends since I was a child, everything depends on myself. This Tiansha Douluo is introverted, and his likes and dislikes are all in one thought. He acted ruthlessly. He once provoked several major sects and was chased and killed miserably."

Just when Beibei introduced the origin of this Tiansha Douluo to Huo Yuhao, the four team captains representing the semi-finals had already arrived on the stage.

The Shrek Academy is Ma Xiaotao, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Tutor Academy is Ma Rulong, and the Di Ao Academy is a middle-sized young man with wide shoulders and broad back. He looks very calm and feels as solid as a rock. The Xingluo National Academy came to power with a girl, a rare female captain. This Huo Yuhao and everyone from the Shrek Academy have seen it. It turned out to be the chief auctioneer they met at the Starlight Auction, Princess Jiujiu.

Seeing this princess, not only the Shrek team members were surprised, but also the people from Sun and Moon Royal Soul Tutor Academy and Di Ao Academy were also surprised and widened their eyes. Because they also participated in that top auction!

The competition uniforms of Xingluo National Academy were light yellow outfits. Today, the princess was different from the elegant and noble she had at the auction that day. Her temperament changed and she looked heroic. Her long golden hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and a faint smile on her pretty face. Her tailored yellow outfit perfectly outlined her delicate body.

Although Ma Xiaotao is not inferior to her in terms of temperament and has a better figure than her, overall, she still feels like she is being compared by His Royal Highness.

Ma Rulong just glanced at the princess, and then looked a little surprised in his eyes and immediately turned his eyes toward him. However, the captain of the Di Ao Academy looked at Princess Jiujiu for a few glances before shifting his eyes away.

Looking at the princess on the stage, Wang Yan couldn't help frowning, because before today, the princess had never appeared in the camp of Xingluo National Academy. However, according to the news he received, there was indeed a reserve member in the Xingluo Empire.

Whether it was him or the other three academies, my mind was blank.

Suddenly, Wang Yan's eyes moved, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes, "I remembered that, Yuheng, the martial soul of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire should be..."

Dai Yuheng came to Wang Yan, nodded, and said, "Teacher Wang, you guessed it right. My father once evaluated His Majesty's cultivation. At that time, he only said four words, which was unfathomable. My father said that His Majesty is the best cultivation talent in the royal family in the past three hundred years. However, I have never heard of His Royal Highness..."

Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Look at the lottery first."

The four captains representing the four major academies have come to the stage and the lottery has begun.

Under the gaze of the four major titled Douluo, the four captains came to His Majesty Emperor Xingluo. Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy to see you young handsome men. The game is about to begin. I hope you can complete this competition with the purpose of friendship first and the second. I will throw out four balls with the signings written on them later. You can grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"

Ma Xiaotao narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the princess Jiujiu beside him and said, "Okay."

Princess Jiujiu smiled slightly and nodded. Ma Rulong and the captain of Di'ao Academy also nodded respectively.

"Attention." Emperor Xingluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and then, no one could see clearly how he took action. Four golden lights had already risen in the air at the same time.

Ma Xiaotao was ready to go, and as soon as Emperor Xingluo took action, she had already risen up. At such a close-range situation, releasing martial souls and soul skills will affect speed. Whether it is her, Di'ao Academy and Ma Rulong, the choices made are the same, jump and rush to the golden ball in the air at the fastest speed.

Only Princess Jiujiu was still standing there with a smile on her face.

Ma Xiaotao is worthy of being the captain of Shrek Academy. Although she is a girl, with this force, her delicate body soars like a spring. Almost instantly, she grabbed a small ball from the air and fell down. When she started to fall, the captain of Di'ao Academy and Ma Rulong both succeeded. The last golden ball fell out of thin air. Princess Jiujiu just stretched out her hand and took the ball down.

A faint smile appeared on the princess' pretty face. She glanced at the small ball in her hand. Although it was the last one who succeeded, it was the first to report the result.

“I’m number one.”

Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "No. 2."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes fell directly on Princess Jiujiu's pretty face, "No. 1."

At this point, although the number position has not been reported for Di Ao Academy, the lottery results have been released. Shrek Academy, which is also number one, will face Xingluo National Academy today. The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Tutor College will naturally face Di Ao Academy.

After Emperor Xingluo personally checked the lottery number, he announced the result to the public. When the people of the Xingluo Empire heard that their team was facing Shrek Academy, bursts of screams kept ringing from the audience.

At least on the surface, Ma Xiaotao drew a lottery for Shrek Academy. Because according to Wang Yan's analysis yesterday, Xingluo National Academy should be the weakest among these four academies.

The rules of the semi-finals and finals follow the rules of the previous knockout rounds, and are also held in two days, with team battles plus individual knockout rounds. The difference is that you must win both games to qualify. If you win one game against both sides, then you must use the two, two and three methods to play the game. In other words, there is no longer any advantage in winning team battles.

The difference between the semi-finals and the final is that the semi-finals are not completed in one day, but the finals, team battles, individual knockouts, and the two-and-three battles will be carried out in one go. At that time, the competition is not only about strength, but also about continuous combat power and endurance, but also about willpower.

Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "I wish the four teams can play all their strength in the next game. The draw will end. Please prepare for each of them. Today's first team battle will be between Shrek Academy and Xingluo National Academy, and the second game will be between Sun and Moon Royal Soul Tutor Academy and Di Ao Academy."

Ma Xiaotao returned to the rest area, Wang Yan was the first to meet him and asked in a low voice: "Xiaotao, how do you feel about the princess of the Xingluo Empire?"

Ma Xiaotao shook her head and said, "It's not easy for her to see through the depth. I originally hoped that she could evaluate her cultivation through her physical strength during the lottery competition, but she did not move, and there was no sign of urging soul power, which made me completely unable to judge. Yu Hao, you use the mental exploration test."

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and said, "I tried it. But what special thing should be with His Highness this princess. When my mental power detection landed on him, there was a layer of things on her body blocking my detection. It made me unable to feel the operation of her soul power and predict her actions. My mental power detection will also be affected if my cultivation is too different."

At this time, everyone surrounded him and the semi-finals were about to begin. However, the opponent suddenly had unknown variables, which was definitely not a good thing for their Shrek team, which is not all the regular players.

Wang Yan said with a calm expression: "Everything goes according to the original plan. Don't have too many ideas in your mind. Believe in our own strength. In the personal knockout round, we have Xiaotao and Yuheng. Even if that princess Jiujiu is a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse, we have absolute confidence. Therefore, we must first win today's team battle. I will announce the list of team battles."
