Chapter 18 The competition begins!

Although even as a reserve team, Shrek's lineup is stronger than the regular players of many academies. But if a powerful team led by the Soul King is drawn, Shrek will most likely fail!

Wang Yan saw the solemn expressions on every student's face, and secretly sighed. Shrek was going to have a very difficult time in this competition. However, he must not show his worry on his face. Instead, he pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Are you nervous? Although the situation is quite serious for us at Shrek, I don't think you need to worry at all. You are all outstanding students of Shrek. You have seen so many geniuses in the school that you think the whole world is full of them. genius?

There are far fewer geniuses in the world than you think. You in Shrek have forgotten that mediocrity is the main tone of the world.

Among the more than 100 teams, many of the formal academy members do not even have the ability to reach the fourth ring. With four Soul Sects, do you still need to worry about such an opponent?

Okay, stop showing that bad face here and go back. Have a good sleep tonight, and face the audience full of energy tomorrow, showing them the style a powerful Shrek should have! Xiaotao and the other three will stay here for a while, and I will help you check your injuries and see how your recovery is going. "

The reserve team members were a little surprised when they heard Teacher Wang Yan asking everyone to go back and rest. Xu Sanshi was the first to speak:

"Teacher Wang, don't you plan your tactics for tomorrow?"

Wang Yan glared at him angrily and said, "Is it necessary to devise tactics when facing such a group of opponents? You can crush them with your soul power. Go back and rest quickly, and don't delay me from helping Xiaotao and the others check their injuries."

After hearing this, the seven people in the reserve team turned around and went back to their rooms to rest without saying anything else.

After Wang Yan watched the seven people return to the room, his forced calmness instantly collapsed, and the worry in his heart made him unable to hold on any longer. The situation Shrek faces this time is extremely severe, and he may not be able to qualify if he is not careful.

Ma Xiaotao and the others saw Wang Yan's appearance and expressed their deep understanding. They are people who have participated once and have actually experienced the intensity of the game on the court. Even the Shrek reserve team with four Soul Sects cannot guarantee to win the game.

After calming down a bit, Wang Yan said: "Xiao Tao, I need to know the precise time when the three of you can join the battle. This will determine how far I, Shrek, can go in the next game!"

……

The time came when the competition officially started. Early in the morning, the representative teams from each college brought their teams to the competition venue.

Soon the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire will personally preside over the opening ceremony of the game, and will sit at the top of the Imperial City to watch the entire day's game.

The sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon, and the warm sunshine shone on every student waiting for the competition to begin. The slight warmth slightly dispelled the anxiety in their hearts.

The spectators waiting to watch the game in the stands began to cheer. The rising of the sun means the start of the game. This is a carnival shared by people across the continent. They are looking forward to the continuation of the legend. I also look forward to the team I support going further. If they can lose to that Shrek team in the finals, then this journey will come to a perfect end.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. The people have also taken their seats and we can announce the start of the game." The Prime Minister standing aside said to the Emperor who was talking to the Queen.

"Okay, dear friends, come with me to announce the start of the game." The emperor stood up and said with great pride. Thousands of years of tradition have made every strong man on the continent who is on the path of a soul master yearn for this grand event.

Even the emperor is no exception!

Emperor Xingluo slowly walked to the stage with his ministers. He glanced at the people and contestants for a moment, and then spoke loudly: "I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun!"

"Bang, bang, bang,..." After the emperor's voice, the salute began to roar, and it lasted a full 108 times before it stopped.

The audience burst into applause, the grand event in mainland China that happens every five years is about to begin!

As Emperor Xingluo and the ministers returned to the viewing platform, the host of the competition appeared.

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-three teams participating in this competition. The first round is the elimination round. One team has a bye, and the sixty-six winning teams enter the next round of round robin. The losers retire!"

The host held a loudspeaker soul guide and spoke slowly, and the sound was transmitted to the audience of more than 200,000 people present. As soon as the supporter finished speaking, the audience watching the game below burst into cheers. It shows how enthusiastic the people are about this game.

"The results of the draw have been decided. The Soto City Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Fighting Spirit Empire has a bye in the first round. The first match will be between the Shrek Academy team and the Fighting Spirit Empire Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team. Both sides enter!"

"Shrek, Shrek,..." Xingluo Square instantly boiled. Everyone cheered Shrek's name.

The sound of "Shrek" spread far away from Star Luo Square. People in Star Luo City who had not bought tickets also heard the cheers and immediately joined in. The entire Star Luo City was shouting Shrek's name.

The three words Shrek have accumulated over thousands of years and have become the belief in the hearts of all people in Douluo Continent.

At the same time, it is also a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the people of the Sun and Moon Empire.

On Shrek's side, the seven members of the reserve team had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened by the enthusiastic crowd that their faces turned pale. Fortunately, Wang Yan spoke to comfort them:

"Little guys, don't panic. They are cheering your name. At this moment, you represent Shrek, and Shrek's glory accumulated over thousands of years shines on you today. Don't worry about failure, take out these With what you have learned in the academy, you will definitely be able to defeat them."

The seven people in the reserve team listened to Wang Yan's comfort, and the fear in their hearts slowly disappeared, and a sense of pride and glory rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Yes, we are playing on behalf of Shrek. We are the most outstanding academy of Shrek's generation and the best peers on the continent! No one can defeat us who represent the glory of Shrek!

The seven people were full of pride and proudly walked onto the battlefield!

After they took the stage, people from Tianling Academy followed closely. However, the students of Tianling Academy seemed to be a little unbalanced in the face of Shrek's remaining power over the past ten thousand years. One student even stumbled a step, staggered and almost fell.

The host will not care about the psychology of the players on both sides. For him, as long as everyone is present, he can announce the start of the game:

"Game start!"

There are seven people in the Tianling Academy, including five soul sects and two soul masters. Even in the star-studded high-level soul master academies across the continent, it can be considered a not weak team.

But then, the martial arts of seven people on Shrek's side were released, shocking the eyes of everyone present.

There are only four soul sects, two soul masters, and one great soul master. This configuration is even two links less than the Tianling Academy opposite!
