Chapter 109 Competition Opening

After an encounter with Shrek Academy in front of the hotel.

All members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team gathered in a room in the hotel and were discussing the tactics to be used in the competition.

Captain Ma Rulong was the first to speak, "According to reliable information, Team Shrek only brought ten people this time, and most of them are from the reserve team. There are not many regular members. What do they mean? Do they think that with this? If you can win the championship with just a few reserve players, then that’s too disrespectful of us.”

As soon as these words came out, the team members present immediately became excited. At this moment, Xiao Hongchen stood up slowly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. When I was playing in Xingluo City these two days, I heard that A message has arrived.”

"It is said that before Shrek Academy came to participate in the competition, they surrounded and suppressed a group of evil soul masters. As a result, they suffered heavy losses, so they only have a few people coming this time."

"But the public opinion outside is very unfavorable to us now. There are people everywhere who are promoting that Team Shrek is the hero of the mainland. They suffered such a big loss all for the peace of the mainland. If they win, it means that their Shrek Academy is awesome. If they lose, It’s understandable that other teams can’t win against them at this time.”

Hearing this, Ma Rulong slammed the table: "Damn it, our Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy deserves to lose. I really don't know which bastard is spreading news outside, and now we are not human inside and outside, whether we win or lose." , If you win, you will be defeated without force, and if you lose, you will be ridiculed.”

"Haha, who else could it be? It must be those guys from Shrek Academy. They know they may not be able to beat them but resort to dirty tricks. They really can't afford to lose." Meng Hongchen said.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet." Mr. Ma, who was leading the team, finally spoke up. He appeased everyone, and then said: "Shrek Academy has indeed been damaged, but everyone was also affected by their tactic. Weakly deceived.”

"Mr. Ma, what do you mean?" Xiao Hongchen asked with confusion on his face.

Mr. Ma explained: "The people we sent out to collect information reported one thing. In the past two days, there was a super Douluo of the healing system in the Starfall Empire who frequently came in and out of Shrek Academy's room. I guess that in the next elimination match , they still won’t send out the main team, just to hide their strength and catch us by surprise in the end.”

"According to reliable information, this time four of the main members of Shrek's team died and three were injured due to certain circumstances, but the remaining three are two soul emperors and one soul king, and they are still very capable in combat."

Xiao Hongchen was puzzled: "But why would they do this? It's not necessary. Shrek Academy dares to lead the reserve team? If we are unlucky and encounter a strong team, wouldn't it mean that we won't be able to survive the first round?"

Mr. Ma nodded and continued: "So this is the cleverness of Shrek Academy. They occupy the high ground of public opinion first, and there will be no loss whether they win or lose. What's more, this competition is in the Star Luo Empire. Will they face any strong team in the first round?”

"When it comes to the finals, they will definitely send their strongest lineup to deal with us. We might be caught off guard by then. Coupled with Shrek's traditional cruelty, they are definitely planning to destroy our players. Comes with ideas.”

"Hmph, it is Shrek's old tradition to kill people in the Continental Senior Academy Soul Master Competition. Every time our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy suffers from it and denounces them, they even call it a beautiful name. This is how the competition is. ”

"I guess their move is to make us take it lightly and really treat us as fools."

"Don't worry about them. Let them act if they like. When we meet them, let them try our Sun Moon Empire's far-leading soul guidance technology. If there is a chance to be ruthless, everyone will do it." Don’t worry, after all these years, it’s time for Shrek’s people to have their hands and feet cut off.” Mr. Ma sneered.

Everyone nodded with expressions of realization, and then scolded Shrek one after another.

"Shrek is really a bunch of bastards, he can even think of such dirty tricks."

"Don't let us encounter them in advance. If we encounter them, we will definitely give them a cruel blow."

Huo Yuhao tilted his head and asked Meng Hongchen quietly: "Meng, if Mr. Ma dares to say such things, does it mean that we have brought some big weapons this time, such as a few level 9 and 10 custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells? Otherwise, with Shrek's shamelessness, if we hurt their students, would we still be able to get out of Star Luo?"

Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao and said, "What are you thinking about? The ninth-level fixed soul-guided artillery shell is such a terrifying thing. One can blow up the entire Mingdu. How many more can you give back to the tenth level? If there really is a tenth-level fixed shell. You can’t destroy a country with soul-guided artillery shells.”

"I definitely don't have these two, but I heard my grandfather say when we set off that we should bring a few of the eighth-level custom-installed soul cannons. If nothing else, we can still blow up half of Star Luo City."

Meng Hongchen whispered something into Huo Yuhao's ear.

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, thinking that it really does exist.

Good guy, listen to what people are saying. A few level eight soul-guided cannonballs simply blew up half of Star Luo City.

This is no better than summoning the Heavenly Obstruction Zhenxing by working so hard and exhausted.

I must sneak into Mingde Hall another day, get a few more level nine soul-guided cannonballs, and throw them directly into Poseidon Lake.

Will Douluo Star Will be rescued now?

"By the way, with Fang Yuan joining this time, I decided to let him be the main controlling soul master of the team. Everyone will obey his command. Do you have any objections?" Mr. Ma added at the end.

Everyone shook their heads and expressed their conviction. After these few months of training, everyone knew how powerful Huo Yuhao's magical spiritual skills were.

Huo Yuhao naturally said there was no problem.

Hurry up and brush up your qualifications now, and prepare to sneak into Mingde Hall in the future.

"The game starts in a few days. Just in case, don't go out recently. Just stay in the hotel and rest."

"Yes, Mr. Ma." Hearing this, everyone nodded.

A few days later.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on Star Luo City, this historic capital of the Star Luo Empire revealed a serious atmosphere.

All the streets around Xingluo Square were blocked by soldiers in armor, especially near the hotel where Huo Yuhao and the others were staying. There were even thousands of soldiers stationed here. The road from the hotel to Xingluo Square was completely blocked. Under martial law, only team members from each college who walked out of the hotel could pass.

Huo Yuhao ended the night of meditation in his room.

Since his cultivation has improved, he has adapted to using meditation instead of sleeping.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

After washing up, they dressed up and went out. They happened to meet the Hongchen brother and sister, and the three of them smiled knowingly.

Xiao Hongchen walked up to Huo Yuhao naturally and put his arm around Huo Yuhao. He asked curiously: "Fang Yuan, you seem to be from the Star Luo Empire too. Do you know anyone who will come to watch the game?"

"Someone you know?" The figure of Dai Hao, his cheap father, suddenly appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.

He sneered in his heart, if it came, if his only son Dai Yueheng accidentally fell on the ring in front of Dai Hao, I don't know what his expression would be.

It would be interesting to think about it.

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "My family members are all dead, no one will come to watch my game."

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen gave Hongchen a sideways look, drove him away from Huo Yuhao, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Fang Yuan, my brother is so stupid, he didn't mean it."

Xiao Hongchen also apologized to Huo Yuhao a little embarrassedly.

Huo Yuhao just smiled and shook his head and said, "Okay, it's almost time. The others have already gone downstairs. Come on, let's go to the competition venue quickly."

He patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder, and then the three of them walked towards the competition venue together.

The venue for this competition was not built in Xingluo Square, but in front of the main entrance of Xingluo Imperial City. In this way, the Xingluo Emperor and his officials could directly watch the battle from a high position on the imperial city. Not only did it have a great view The best and also safe and worry-free.

The Star Luo Empire has indeed put a lot of effort into organizing this continent-wide Royal Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. The competition stage used in the competition is one hundred meters wide and has one hundred and eight metal pillars erected around it. Each pillar is clearly a defensive soul tool.

After the game starts, these defensive soul guidance pillars will immediately form a huge defensive light shield to completely cover the competition stage, which will not let the power of the soul skills on the competition field leak out at all, but everyone watching the game will not. There is no impact.

Outside the competition venue, there was a long queue of spectators queuing up to watch. The auditorium at this competition venue could accommodate 200,000 spectators, and the ticket prices ranged from the lowest of two gold soul coins to two hundred. Gold soul coins vary.

It can be said that from just one day's competition, the Star Luo Empire's royal family can profit from millions of gold soul coins. From the whole process, the host country can even profit from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. It is already a huge profit. This is an extremely huge wealth, which is why the four Douluo countries are very willing to hold a continent-wide high-level academy soul master soul fighting competition.

After Huo Yuhao and others arrived at the competition venue, the audience had already entered the venue. Extremely noisy sounds came from the venue, and the atmosphere of the entire venue seemed extremely warm.

Ten minutes later, the Emperor of the Starfall Empire and the Queen boarded the imperial city together, and everyone in the team below, including the audience, bowed and saluted.

The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, was a middle-aged man who looked very majestic. He was wearing a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown. He was standing in the middle of the imperial city, which meant nobility.

"Your Majesty." An old man wearing bright red civil servant clothes walked forward quickly and came to him and saluted respectfully.

"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?" the Emperor of the Starfall Empire asked with a smile on his face.

The Prime Minister looked a little hesitant, bowed his head and whispered something to Xu Jiawei.

"What? The game is about to start, Shrek is trying to do this to me!" Xu Jiawei's expression changed, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Shrek said that they suffered heavy losses for the sake of peace on the mainland. I hope your Majesty can understand and be accommodating to them." The Prime Minister looked very helpless.

"For the sake of the peace of the mainland, what they said is very righteous. In this case, they can withdraw from the competition." Xu Jiawei snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, after all, the audience is still here for them. Once Shrek withdraws or loses, I'm afraid our profits will be greatly reduced. Moreover, in the future, if a war breaks out in the Sun and Moon Empire, we will have to unite with Shrek. , I’m afraid it’s hard to refuse them now.”

The Prime Minister carefully comforted Xu Jiawei's ears.

Xu Jiawei thought about it and felt that what the Prime Minister said made sense. Finally, he had to wave his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. In this case, just arrange a soft persimmon for Shrek Academy to pinch. We have invited some weak academies, so let's do it. As for Shrek's original opponent, arrange it to Sun Moon Royal Academy to disgust them."

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

Xu Jiawei was very unhappy. He was obviously the Emperor of Xingluo, but he had to help Shrek sign for Shrek's face.

But no matter how unhappy he was, Shrek had many strong people. If a war really broke out with the Sun Moon Empire one day in the future, it might have to rely on Shrek's power, so it couldn't be offended.

It seems that we can only let the weak chicken teams of other academies suffer.

As for disgusting the Sun Moon Team, it was just a matter of convenience. Anyway, there was no loss.

After a while, Xu Jiawei slowly stood up from his chair and made a brief speech, officially announcing that the current All Continent Soul Masters' Gratitude Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has finally officially begun.

Then, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire competition venue.

"Let's announce the rules of the competition!"

"This competition is divided into three stages, namely the elimination round, the round-robin tournament and the final 16 rounds."

The person who presided over the opening ceremony made it clear that there were a total of 133 students participating in the competition. The first round was the elimination round, and the competition system was a seven-on-seven team battle.

The opponents in the first round were determined by drawing lots.

In other words, whoever was unlucky enough to draw a strong team would be eliminated in one round.

The drawing of lots was said to be fair, but everyone knew that this was the home court of the Star Luo Empire, and it was not a matter of a word from the Star Luo Empire to make any moves. In fact, this was also one of the unspoken rules of the home advantage.

Of course, in order to make the subsequent competitions more exciting, the Star Luo Empire naturally could not arrange for old and strong teams such as Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to meet in the first round.

Once a team is eliminated, will the tickets still be sold?

After the first round, the teams will be divided into nine groups for a round-robin tournament. The round-robin tournament system will also be determined by drawing lots. There are three types of tournament systems, namely single elimination, 223 coordinated battle, and 7-on-7 team battle.

After announcing the rules of the competition, the host's voice sounded again: "The first game of this tournament will be between the Shrek Academy team and the Tianhun Empire Seaside Advanced Soul Master Academy team!"

The announcement by the host immediately made the atmosphere of the entire stadium boil to the climax!

"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek"

The voices shouting for Shrek Academy almost resounded through the sky, and everyone was looking forward to Shrek Academy's appearance.

In the hearts of the people of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo, Shrek, who has maintained a record of winning the competition for ten thousand years, is their god in their hearts and their pride!

In an instant, the shouts shook the sky!

At this time, the only one who was unhappy was the Tianhun Seaside Advanced Soul Master Academy team.

This is a team of soul masters with only two soul lords and the rest are soul masters.

At this time, everyone in this academy was dumbfounded.

No, what kind of outrageous matching mechanism is this? Is this reasonable? Didn’t they say that they would invite us to travel at public expense? Why did they let us play against Shrek?

Referee, there is something fishy going on!
