It was another early morning, and when the first ray of sunlight shone into Xingluo City, this ancient imperial capital revealed a serious atmosphere.

All the streets around Xingluo Square are blocked by soldiers with bright armor, especially near the Star Emperor Hotel, where thousands of soldiers are stationed. The streets leading from here to Xingluo Square have been completely under martial law, and only those leading from the Star Emperor Hotel are under complete martial law.

Only the participating team members from each college who walked out of the hotel can pass.

The competition stage used for this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not built in the center of Xingluo Square, but in front of the main entrance of the Imperial City. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire can compete with his civil and military personnel

The ministers watched the battle directly from the top of the imperial city. Not only did they have the best view, but they were also safe, and it also demonstrated their noble status as the emperor of the country.

The entire competition stage is one hundred meters long and five meters high. There are a total of one hundred and eight metal pillars on the periphery of the competition stage. These are not decorations, but actual protective soul guides. After the competition starts, there will be one hundred and eight metal pillars.

Eight soul masters presided over the protection of the competition stage. These metal pillars would form a protective shield to block all the soul skills inside from escaping, so as not to damage the imperial city or hurt innocent people.

Just building this competition stage cost a huge amount of money, plus mobilizing 108 soul masters to serve the competition for more than a month. Without national-level strength, it is really difficult.

At this time, Xingluo Square was empty. Except for the soldiers in the distance, there was no one in the square.

The last time the Star Luo Empire held a continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition, there was a stampede incident. The soul masters who came to watch were okay. After all, they had soul power to protect their bodies, so the injuries were not serious. As for the civilians, the situation

It was more serious. There were even people who were trampled to death. Therefore, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire attached great importance to it this time. Not only did they dispatch a large army to maintain order, but they also came up with many new methods to prevent similar situations from happening.

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. As for those who are short... find another way. Moreover, these iron fences divide the square into individual areas.

Different areas have different entrances and exits for spectators entering or exiting. This makes it much easier for soldiers to maintain order. There will also be clear limits on the number of people accommodated in each area.

This move is enough to show that the Star Luo Empire is really serious about organizing this competition. However, this is also easy to understand. After all, this is related to the face of their empire. Once any link is messed up, the face of the Star Luo Empire will be lost.

live?

Since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition switched to the current format, apart from the finals, the most exciting thing is actually the first round of knockout matches, which are far more exciting and even tragic than the ones that follow.

Round robin.

The round robin can also have tactical arrangements and even tactical failures. But the first round is a direct knockout. If you lose, you will leave. Every participating college must pass this level. Even the previous champion Shrek College has

Same. There is a bye in the competition, but no college can directly enjoy the bye privilege.

Early in the morning, the leading teachers from each college had already arrived at the Imperial City to draw lots based on the competition numbers they received when registering. At this time, the drawing ceremony had been completed, and officials from the Star Luo Empire had compiled the statistics.

The results of the draw. Once the order of competition comes out, the final preparations for the early stage of the competition will be completed.

At this moment, people began to enter the venue from all directions in Xingluo Square. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they gathered into the venue like long queues.

If you want to watch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, you must pay a fee, and you have to pay it every day. The daily admission fee is only two gold soul coins. However, two gold soul coins are only the most basic price.

The area closer to the competition stage has more expensive admission fees. In the viewing area closest to the competition stage, everyone must pay a hundred gold soul coins to enter.

This is only a day's fee, and the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will last for a month, so the income is a very scary figure. Just from selling tickets every day, the Star Luo Empire can earn two

More than one million gold soul coins, in one month, it will be about 60 million gold soul coins. Even if you deduct a lot of miscellaneous expenses, you can still make a lot of money.

This is one of the reasons why the four major empires are very willing to hold the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. After all, this thing is so rich that it can almost cover the country's tax revenue for a year.

Just as the audience entered the venue, Wang Yan had already led everyone to stand in the contestants area.

Today, everyone in Shrek Academy is wearing the traditional dark green uniform, which is the standard color of Shrek Academy. Moreover, they are standing in the first row of all the colleges. No academy has any objection to this.

Shrek Academy has spent thousands of years in exchange for its strength.

However, when the academy contestants standing behind looked at the lineup of Shrek Academy, they couldn't help but show some surprise.

Even if there are only twelve people here, most of them look far from twenty years old. You can tell how young they are without judging their bone age. Only the five people at the front look about the same age.

Enough, but they all wore cloaks to hide their appearance.

For most academies, they are praying secretly in their hearts that they will never encounter powerful people like Shrek Academy or the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the first round. Otherwise, it is almost equivalent to announcing that they have been eliminated.

Eliminated.

The contestants from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were standing behind Shrek Academy. This position also made it convenient for them to observe the Shrek contestants standing in front.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From the looks of it, the youngest ones are Yun Ying, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, and this dark green school uniform is placed on Yun Ying.

It fits very well, but the more you look at it, the more you feel it is a bit inconsistent. Of course, this is not a very important issue for the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. In terms of appearance, Huo Yuhao and Yun Ying are better.

, although Yun Ying is only 1.65 meters tall now, her face has lost its childishness, and Huo Yuhao has also undergone considerable changes due to the fusion of the Ice Emperor's torso bones.

But Wang Dong still looks childish, like a little kid! Why would Shrek Academy send such a young team?

"Brother, look, that little sister is the one I saw last night." Meng Hongchen pulled Xiao Hongchen's sleeve, then looked at Yun Ying and said.

"This?" Xiao Hongchen looked confused. He stared at Yun Ying carefully for a long time, and then counted the number of Shrek team members. He was sure that the number was the same as the number he saw yesterday. He couldn't help but said depressedly: "Shrek Academy today

There are twelve team members coming, exactly the same as the number of people they filled in when they signed up yesterday."

"Then what does this mean?" Meng Hongchen scratched his face, and Xiao Hongchen said helplessly: "It means that the girl you saw yesterday is not a regular member of Shrek at all. Fortunately, we discussed it for so long last night.

strategy."

Xiao Hongchen: My mentality exploded on the spot!

Seeing Meng Hongchen still smiling, Xiao Hongchen became very angry. He was a sister who was good at everything, but she could easily lose herself in the presence of beauty.

No, didn't Meng Hongchen like handsome boys before? Why was he so interested in a girl?

Could it be...

Xiao Hongchen felt that he had discovered a blind spot.

"Silence." A loud voice suddenly spread throughout the entire venue. Hearing this voice, all the soldiers stood at attention and raised their spears. Suddenly, a chilling atmosphere spread throughout the venue, and the originally noisy Xingluo Square suddenly fell silent.

Come down.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."

"Wow--" The people suddenly fell to their knees in large areas, and hundreds of thousands of people made the same neat movements at the same time. The scene was indeed extremely spectacular.

The soldiers knelt on one knee, and all participating colleges had been accurately informed beforehand, allowing them not to kneel, but they needed to bow ninety degrees to show respect for the emperor.

"My lords, please stand up." The voice of the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was amplified by the amplified soul guide. The people then stood up one after another, and the students from the participating colleges also straightened their backs. Everyone's eyes were on

Directly ahead, on top of the imperial city.

Emperor Xingluo had already brought his queen and all the civil and military officials to the front of the city, patrolling his people with gentle but majestic eyes.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the most important event in our Douluo Continent soul master world. This time it is our turn to be held in our Star Luo Empire, and I am very happy. Here, on behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome the people from far away

Representatives from various colleges including Shrek Academy are here. I hope you will show your due style in the competition in the next month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The leaders and students of the 133 colleges bowed and saluted again, and Emperor Xingluo also smiled and nodded in their direction.

"Okay, I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun." Under the loud announcement of Emperor Xingluo, the curtain of this grand event was unveiled.

"Long live, long live, long live!" the people shouted in unison, and their emotions were aroused almost instantly.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The roar of the salute sounded at the top of the city, and it lasted for one hundred and eight times before stopping. Xingluo Square had turned into a sea of ​​excitement and cheers.

The loud voice from before suddenly sounded again: "According to the competition rules of the Continental Senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the first round will be an elimination round. In this competition, there are a total of 130 senior soul masters and soul master academies who have signed up.

Three schools. After drawing lots, one of them got a bye in the first round. A total of sixty-six games will be played. The first round is a knockout system. The loser will directly end the journey of this competition. Next, the first game will start immediately.

The two sides of the competition are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Dou Ling Empire, and the Shrek Academy team from the No. 1 Academy in the Mainland, which has countless honors and has won almost all competition championships in the past nearly a thousand years."

"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..." Shrek Academy's voice echoed from almost every corner of the square.

Faced with such a situation, the seven people who were about to take the stage were also a little confused. Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng immediately spoke to encourage everyone, which calmed down the agitated mood of the seven people.

At this moment, the voice of the host of the competition sounded: "Let us first invite the players from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to come on stage."

At the back of the player area, a group of pale-faced young players came out. When they walked out of the player area, they even looked a little unsteady in their steps, as if they had stayed up late last night and masturbated too much.

, leading to kidney deficiency and blood loss, they appeared in such an image, making Ma Xiaotao laugh out loud: "Look, this is your opponent. Some people's legs are still shaking. Although Shrek's reputation is a heavy responsibility for you, but

It is also one of your most powerful weapons. Shrek will definitely win!"

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao walked up to Beibei and stretched out her right hand. Others stepped forward and put their thirteen right hands together.

Wang Yan whispered: "Huo Yuhao, you will be responsible for commanding the battle later, and the others will be mobilized according to his mental detection and sharing. And Yun Ying, for this first game, keep your strength."

"I know." Yun Ying nodded, and Huo Yuhao also said that he understood. Then, under the shouts of the host and the shouts of the people in Xingluo City, the seven people slowly came on stage.
