Chapter 258, the competition begins

Hearing this name, Qi Ling was confused. How did his team suddenly become the Qilin Team? Can this thing be renamed casually?

But seeing Dugu Bo's successful smile, Qi Ling knew that it must be him who did it. I don't know what method he used to make the organizer and the Tiandou Empire agree to the name change. It's incredible.

After all, although Qi Ling's team is the second team, everyone knows that they are the official team representing the Tiandou Empire. It can be said that they represent the Tiandou Empire itself, and they can't change their names casually.

And this name, everyone knows that it is based on his own name "Qi Ling". Isn't it too arrogant? Even if he doesn't care about being so prominent, will the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye, agree?

Thinking of this, Qi Ling's eyes couldn't help but look at the VIP stand. There, in addition to Prince Xuexing and other royal nobles, as well as the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Academy, the most conspicuous are undoubtedly the three people sitting in the first row.

The man in the middle, although old, has a unique temperament that belongs to the emperor. He must be the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye.

What makes Qi Ling feel strange is that when he heard about his "Qilin Team", Emperor Xue Ye did not show any surprise, as if he had known about it in advance. Qi Ling couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that Dugu Bo is so capable that he even has a relationship with the emperor?

In fact, what Qi Ling didn't know was that Dugu Bo really had a relationship with the emperor, but it was just a negotiation through Meng Shen Ji, and the content included asking Qi Ling to change the team name.

Today's Tiandou Empire has reached the point of thirsting for talents, so in order to recruit talents, Emperor Xue Ye will pay any price.

When he heard people talking about how good Qi Ling was, he had already been tempted to recruit him, so he agreed to many of their conditions, but the requirement was that Qi Ling must win the competition, otherwise he would be convicted of deceiving the emperor.

Of course, Dugu Bo also knew that even if Qi Ling failed to win, as long as he showed his talent, Emperor Xue Ye would not be willing to kill him, and at most punish him, because he had boasted to himself before that he must win the first place in the competition.

On the left and right sides of Emperor Xue Ye sat the bishop of the Wuhun Hall and Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Qibao Liuli Sect. Not only did they have special identities, but they also served as judges for this competition, so they could sit in the same row with Emperor Xue Ye.

After introducing the information of the Qilin team, the teams behind also began to enter in turn. When all the teams had entered, the emcee read aloud: "Next, please invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire to announce the opening of this competition!"

Amid the thunderous applause of the audience, Emperor Xue Ye, wearing a red-gold robe, slowly stood up, then came to the host platform, and spoke in a deep and loud voice, delivering a sophisticated and steady speech.

Encouraged by Emperor Xue Ye, the soul masters at the scene felt a surge of blood boiling, and their eyes released a burning glow. For them, such a competition will be the best stage to show themselves.

After Emperor Xue Ye finished his speech, Ning Fengzhi also gave a speech as usual. Then it was the platinum bishop of the Wuhun Hall, Saras, who came to draw lots for the first round of qualifiers.

Watching the old man slowly walk to the emcee and start drawing the places for the two teams, Qi Ling couldn't help but feel nervous, because according to the original plot, they would have drawn Shrek Academy at this time. If that was the case, should he win or not?

Since today was the opening ceremony, only one game would be held, which was the game of the Qilin team, which was enough to prove the importance of this game. After thinking it over again and again, Qi Ling decided that if that was really the case, he would not help either side, and the victory or defeat would all depend on fate.

Fortunately, fate did not seem to be so cruel. Saras quickly drew the battle order of all 28 teams. The opponent of the Qilin team in the first game was a team called the Purple Star Team.

Qi Ling did not have any impression of this team. It seemed that there were no outstanding players in it. It could only be regarded as a cannon fodder team.

And the team drawn by Shrek Academy was also an unknown team called Oakland Academy. Judging from the current situation, they should be able to win easily.

"Good luck." Qi Ling smiled slightly, then looked in the direction of Shrek, and found that everyone was looking at him, and smiled at the same time.

All the teams were naturally very satisfied with this result, and the Bishop Saras did not return to his position immediately after drawing the lot, but faced all the soul masters and said: "Since you all have no objection, then I declare in the name of the Spirit Hall that this battle quota officially takes effect!"

"At the same time, I hereby announce that all the contestants present, who can finally enter the finals, the Spirit Hall will make an exception and allow you to directly join the Spirit Hall!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the soul masters were in an uproar, but even Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi changed their faces, because this was simply a direct challenge to the majesty of the Tiandou Empire, and they were completely ignored.

At the same time, Qi Ling also understood why Emperor Xue Ye agreed to so many requests just to recruit him. If he won the championship and directly joined the Spirit Hall, it would probably be an eternal shame for the Tiandou Empire.

The sensitive people present also felt the subtlety of this. The conflict between Wuhun Palace and Tiandou Empire seemed to have reached an irreconcilable point. The conflict was about to break out. I am afraid I have to choose which side to stand on as soon as possible. A decision has been made.

Although the empire is powerful, everyone knows that whoever controls more soul masters in this world will have more say. When it comes to the number of soul masters, Wuhun Palace can completely crush any force in the world. .

But despite this, at least for now, everyone has to maintain a semblance of peace. Emperor Xueye is still the supreme emperor, and he is the person Salas cannot offend.

So after saying this, he returned to his seat and did not do any more transgressions.

"Okay, then the first game of the first round of the qualifiers that will be held next will be between the Qilin team and the Purple Star team. The other colleges will withdraw one by one. The two colleges that will compete later will be ready. After half an hour, the game will begin. Officially begin."

Since there was no competition in the other colleges, they all left the rest area directly, but no one left. Instead, they were led by the staff to the viewing area specially prepared for the players.

They naturally know that the more information they have about their opponents, the better their winning rate will be. What's more, no one knows what the Kirin team represents, and this will also become important reference information for them.
