As the light curtain above the sky completely dimmed and disappeared, everyone on the Douluo Continent also understood that this Heavenly Dao Rankings exposure has ended!
For a time, all living beings began to discuss with each other, either marveling, hoping, or arguing...
Star Luo City, beside the tea stall,
Especially when he heard that people around him were gradually giving Cang Yue the title Empress of Ice, Ice Empress couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered with displeasure on his pretty face, "What, what Empress of Ice Cang Yue? Does this mean you are calling Ice Emperor? Have you asked me about this Queen of Ice?"
As she said that, Ice Empress looked around furtively. After discovering that except for a few people at the same table, no one around her noticed what she said, a look of relief was evident on her pretty face.
Seeing how Ice Empress not only dared to whisper in a low voice, but was even worried about being discovered by the people around him, Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, who already knew Ice Empress's true identity, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Ice Empress looks like this, it's really hard to believe that she is one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings known as Extreme North Land, the peerless Ferocious Beast who has 400,000 years of cultivation!
However, when they thought of the woman just above the light screen who was holding Cold Firmament, who had the power to change the world and the world with her hands, the two of them felt that Ice Empress actually dared to express his dissatisfaction with it in such a low voice at this moment. She was indeed worthy of the name Ferocious Beast!
All I can say is that Cang Yue's posture and strength of Empress of Ice are too terrifying!
Putting down the tea cup, Yu Bai pulled the black robe on his head, glanced at Ice Empress opposite, and said with disgust in his tone, "How cowardly!"
Having said that, he ignored Ice Empress, who was a bit angry, and stood up directly. After leaving the tea bill, he called Chen Zifeng and the two to follow, and walked towards the hotel where Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Team was staying.
Along the way, Ice Empress followed closely beside Yu Bai, his face flushed, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he argued, "Following one's heart cannot be considered a coward... following one's heart!... Can Ferocious Beast's matter be considered a coward?" followed by a series of difficult words., something like "this Ferocious Beast is weak", something like "Yu Bai" or "Ice Empress" caused Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan who were following behind Yu Bai and Ice Empress to suppress their laughter...
On the other side, in the Shrek Team rest room, everyone who was originally discussing the details of tomorrow's competition suddenly noticed a dazzling golden light flashing through the gap in the door of the medical room next door.
Shrek Team teachers and students were shocked, and immediately rushed towards the medical room. The moment they opened the door, everyone saw Ling Luochеn, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed to rest. At this moment, he sat up without knowing it, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was a golden light flickering between the eyebrows of his cold and beautiful face, and then he seemed to be completely integrated into it.
"This is!!!"
As a Shrek Academy Outer Academy Martial Soul Department senior teacher, Martial Soul who studies all kinds of Martial Soul and is an academic teacher Wang Yan, since Heavenly Dao Rankings and Exposer appeared, he was extremely curious and used Shrek's powerful intelligence network to understand relevant aspects. The halo in Heavenly Ranking has just disappeared, and the same familiar light has merged into Ling Luochеn's eyebrows, plus Ling Luochеn's Martial Soul controlled by the ice element, Wang Yan instantly guessed that Ling Luochеn was the reincarnation of Empress of Ice Cang Yue that had just been exposed!
When he thought of this, Wang Yan's body trembled with uncontrollable excitement, and the thoughts in his mind blurted out directly,
"I didn't expect! I didn't expect that Ling Luochеn is the reincarnation of Cang Yue!"
"Hahaha... God bless me Shrek!"
Hearing Wang Yan's words, everyone present couldn't help but trembled. They looked at Ling Luochеn with eyes closed on the hospital bed in shock, and their eyes were full of envy.
Among them, Huo Yuhao was shocked, but felt even more lost inside.
"Unexpectedly, I lost Ice Empress Martial Soul inexplicably, as well as the attached Soul Bone, which caused a huge loss in combat power. Now, in addition to Soul Tool and mental attacks, there is no other means of attack, and senior sister Ling Luochеn is now about to inherit the terrifying ice control method of Ice Emperor Cang Yue from her previous life, which far exceeds that of Ultimate Ice, hey..."
However, looking at the happy faces of his companions around him, Huo Yuhao also forcibly put away the bitterness on his face and forced a smile.
The day gradually passed in the discussion of Sword God Ximen Chuixue, Warlord Cao Cao, and Empress of Ice Cang Yue!
Soon, time came to the next day, the opening day of the five-year Pan-Continental Higher Education Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament!
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines into Star Luo City, this Star Luo Empire capital reveals a serious atmosphere.
All streets around Star Luo Plaza are blocked by soldiers in bright armor. Especially near Star Emperor Grand Hotel, there are thousands of soldiers stationed, and the streets leading from here to Star Luo Plaza have been completely under martial law. Only the participating team members from each college who came out of Star Emperor Grand Hotel can pass.
The competition platform used for the mainland high-level Soul Master Academy Soul Duelling Tournament is not built in the center of Star Luo Plaza, but in front of the main entrance of Imperial City. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor Star Luo Empire and his civil and military ministers can watch the battle directly from the top of the Imperial City. Not only does it have the best view, it's also safe and secure.
The entire competition stage is 100 meters long and 5 meters high. There are a total of 108 metal pillars around the competition stage. This is not a decoration, but a real protective Soul Tool. After the competition begins, one hundred and eight Soul Master will be responsible for the protection of the competition stage. These metal pillars will form a protective cover to block all the Soul Skill inside from spilling out, so as not to damage the Imperial City or injure innocent people.
Just building this competition platform cost a huge amount of money, plus mobilizing 108 Soul Master to serve the competition for more than a month. Without national-level strength, it is really difficult.
At this time, Star Luo Plaza was completely empty except for the soldiers in the distance. The square was deserted.
The last time Star Luo Empire held a mainland high-end Soul Master Academy Soul Duelling Tournament, there was a stampede incident. This time Star Luo Imperial Family took it very seriously. Not only did it dispatch an army to maintain order, but it also came up with many new methods.
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. But the square is divided into different areas. There are different entrances and exits for spectators entering and exiting. This way. It was much easier for the soldiers to maintain order. There will also be clear limits on the number of people allowed in each area.
Imperial City is on the north side, facing south, and there is also a luxurious rest area on the west side of the competition stage, specially provided for the participating members of each college. However, the seating area can only accommodate about seventy colleges. There was clearly no preparation for a spot in a college that was eliminated in the first round. This is not wasted. At the same time, it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the participating students.
Mainland China Senior Soul Master Academy Soul Duelling Tournament Since switching to the current competition system, 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 subsequent round-robin matches.
The round robin can also have tactical arrangements and even tactical failures. But this first round is a direct elimination round. If you lose, you will leave. Any participating college must pass this level. Even the previous champion Shrek Academy is the 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 Imperial City to draw lots based on the competition number plates they received when registering. At this time, the lottery ceremony has been completed. Star Luo Empire has its own officials over there to tally the results of the lottery. Once the order of the competition is announced, the final preparations for the early stage of the competition will be completed.
The sun slowly rose into the sky from the distant east, and Star Luo City, located in the middle of the continent, suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
Imperial City At the top of the city, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow robe and wearing an eight-treasure Purple Gold Crown stood with his hands behind his back. The position he was standing on was in the center of Imperial City's main gate, and it was also the best place to watch the competition stage below.
Beside him was a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous palace dress, who was respectfully and tenderly accompanying him. A few steps behind is Star Luo Empire civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty." An old man wearing Big Red color civil official attire quickly stepped forward, came to the man's side and saluted respectfully. It could be seen from the python pattern embroidered on his robe that this old man's status was extremely noble. It can be described as an extremely human minister.
"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements?" Star Luo Empire Emperor asked with a smile.
The Prime Minister said respectfully, "Everything has been arranged. The draw is over and the order of the competition has been arranged. The outside is in order. People can be allowed in."
Star Luo Emperor smiled and nodded, "Okay, pass my order. Let people enter at each checkpoint. Control the speed and maintain order. If there is a problem in the place where the person is responsible, he will be severely punished."
"Yes." The Prime Minister first took a few steps back, then turned around and left.
Star Luo Emperor said to the beautiful woman beside him, "Queen, I have been waiting for twenty years for this grand event. I really miss my youth! It's a pity that the royal family has too many rules, otherwise I really wanted to participate once."
The queen smiled slightly and said, "The emperor always has a Martial Artist heart."
Star Luo Emperor smiled and said, "Look, students from all participating colleges have already entered the venue first. But today they cannot use the rest area. Only those who win the knockout round are eligible to enter the rest area. According to the Shrek Academy, only ten people came this time. Many of the participating team members are very young. The leader of the team One of them is the eldest son of Dai Hao. I wanted to bring Dai Hao back to watch the game, after all, he only gets his turn in our country every twenty years, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Sun Moon Empire is a lot more restless, and I feel more at ease with him guarding Western Frontier."
As he said that, Star Luo Emperor changed his voice and said with a bit of weirdness in his expression,
"However, what is equally strange is Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy Team. Among their official team members, except for one member who is almost 25 years old, three of them are 17 or 18 years old. Among the remaining three, two are only 13 or 14 years old, and the last one is only about 12 years old! On the contrary, their substitute members are all in their twenties."
"I don't know what the hell Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy Team is doing!"
The queen just listened gently without making any comments. As the mother of the country, she also could not interfere in politics, especially when there were many civil servants and generals on both sides. Those generals are all powerful Soul Master, and their ears are very strong. For a time, the generals couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about Shrek Academy Team and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy Team.
At this moment, people from Star Luo Plaza began to enter the venue from all directions. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they gathered into the venue like long queues.
It is not free to watch mainland high-end Soul Master Academy Soul Duelling Tournament. The daily admission fee is not too expensive, only two Gold Soul Coin. However, although Star Luo Plaza has strictly controlled the number of attendees, it can still accommodate more than 200,000 people watching the game at the same time. Two Gold Soul Coin are just the basic price. It is an area close to the competition stage, and the admission fee is expensive. In the viewing area closest to the competition stage, everyone must pay one hundred Gold Soul Coin to enter.
For commoners, this is a lot of money, but for some businessmen and nobles, it is nothing.
Star Luo Empire adopts the method of treating all spectators equally. If you have money, you will be in the front position at most. But the treatment is the same, you can only stand and watch the game. There aren't even seats. This way more people can be accommodated.
From the daily admission fee income alone, Star Luo Empire can receive about two million Gold Soul Coin. In one month, it will be 60 million Gold Soul Coin. Excluding military expenditures and investment, the empire can also make a lot of money. This is one of the reasons why the four major empires are very willing to host the mainland high-level Soul Master Academy Soul Duelling Tournament. You know, Star Luo City's annual tax is almost this amount!
Just as the audience entered the venue, each team was standing in the contestant area.
Today, everyone at the Shrek Academy wears traditional dark green school uniforms, which is Shrek Academy's standard color.
Moreover, the position they were standing in was also in the first row of all the colleges. No one of the colleges had any objection to this. This is the glory Shrek Academy has accumulated with its strength over thousands of years.
However, when the academy contestants standing behind looked at the Shrek Academy's lineup at this time, they couldn't help but express some surprise.
Even if only ten people came, most of them seemed to be far from twenty years old. You can clearly tell how young they are without evaluating their bone age. Only the two people at the front looked almost old enough. But they all wore cloaks, covering their appearance.
For most colleges, they are praying secretly in their hearts that they will never encounter strong players like Shrek Academy or Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in the first round. Otherwise it is almost equivalent to announcing that they have been eliminated.
The team members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy are standing behind the Shrek Academy. This also makes it easier for them to observe the Shrek Academy students in front.
However, the Soul Master team, who was standing further behind Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy Team, was even more curious at this moment about the identities of the four Black-robed Figure members standing with Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy Team members!
