At two o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony of Skysea Alliance Tournament started on time.
The huge stadium was packed with seats, almost all of the 30,000 seats were occupied. In the center was a very large competition stage, surrounded by soul guide screens that broadcast live footage from the stadium.
Long Yuan is sitting on the rostrum, located near the front, with an excellent view.
He was wearing a dark formal suit and had an expressionless face, but his aura made people around him afraid to talk to him easily.
Class Zero Everyone is sitting in the auditorium, and the location is good.
Tang Wulin It was the first time I saw such a big scene, and my palms were slightly sweaty.
Xie Xie was very excited, looking left and right.
Xu Xiaoyan nervously grasped the corner of his clothes.
Gu Yuena remained expressionless, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi sat in silence, but there was a bit of expectation in their eyes.
The opening ceremony has begun.
The leader of the Skysea Alliance, the consul of Skysea City, took the stage to give a speech to the effect that Skysea Alliance needs talents. The competition is to select and encourage young people. He hopes that all contestants will compete with their level and style.
Then the chief referee announced the competition format: an eleven-day schedule, divided into three stages - the opening ceremony and draw, the knockout round, and the main match. The team competition champion will also have a friendly battle with the Shrek Academy spectator team.
"Next, let's have an exhibition match." The chief referee's voice echoed over the stadium, "The Shrek Academy youth group representative team will compete against the previous Skysea Alliance youth group competition champion."
The whole place was in an uproar.
Xie Xie's eyes widened. "The youth group is competing against the youth group? Or is it the championship?"
Gu Yuena said calmly, "It's just a performance. Besides, Skysea Alliance also has to consider the issue of confidence. Even if he can't win, he still has to tie, so he can only use this disgraceful rule. However, if he loses..."
She shook her head and said no more, but her meaning was already clear, and the others nodded subconsciously.
Long Yuan was sitting on the referee's bench, his eyes falling on the two teams coming out of the tunnel.
Representing Skysea Alliance are the seven students from the Skysea Academy, the previous youth group champions. However, this year they are all over 20 years old and can only participate in the adult group competition.
The seven students of the Shrek Academy looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but each of them had a calm expression on their faces.
The sharp-eyed Xie Xie immediately noticed the two people at the end of the team and exclaimed, "It's the two of them. So are they from Shrek?"
Tang Wulin heard the words and looked around, and recognized them immediately. There was no way, among the crowd of fourteen or five-year-olds, these two ten-year-olds were still too conspicuous.
At this moment, a person suddenly came to the rostrum. She was an old woman with gray hair, a rigid face and sharp eyes.
Long Yuan recognized her--Cai Yue'er.
He sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Cai Yue'er glanced at the people on the stage with an indifferent expression, and then sat down in his seat without even saying hello.
This made Skysea City Administrator, who had already stood up, quite embarrassed.
But there is no way, he is also a face-conscious person, so naturally he will not put his hot face on his cold butt.
He nodded to the referee on the side. Now he can only hope that the Skysea City representative team can defeat the opponent and regain some face for himself.
The referee is an old man, with a deep breath, and it seems that he has a high level of cultivation.
"Now, the game begins!"
Shrek Academy The boy standing at the front released Martial Soul, and four Soul Ring, two yellow, one purple and one black, rose up. Behind the boy, another girl released Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and the auxiliary light enveloped the whole place.
A ball of intense blue light exploded in the center of the competition stage, and thunder and lightning enveloped the entire competition stage.
In less than a minute, all seven members of the Skysea Alliance fell down.
The whole place was silent.
Then, a shocking exclamation broke out.
"Four rings? And Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? How old is he?"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Assistant... That's the best assistant Martial Soul in the world!"
"Is this Shrek Academy?"
Xie Xie opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Xu Xiaoyan clenched the corners of his clothes tightly, his face turned a little pale.
Tang Wulin stared at the boy on the competition stage, is this Shrek Academy?
The fighting spirit in his heart gradually began to rise, and he was confident that he would not be worse than his opponent. The only difference was some time.
Lan Fozi curled his lips. "It's okay."
Xie Xie came back to his senses and looked at her speechlessly. "Do you have any misunderstanding about 'okay'?"
Lan Fozi confidently said, "I'm not wrong."
Gu Yuena remained expressionless, but her eyes swept across the Shrek team and paused for a second on Ye Xinglan.
"That's all." Gu Yuena said calmly, "When you reach their age, you will definitely be stronger than them."
Gu Yuena seems to be describing something that is bound to happen.
"Being stronger than them is not a big deal. These are just students from the Shrek Academy's outer academy." Wu Zhangkong said coldly.
"Although they are the best in the outer court, whether they can enter the inner court requires further investigation. The admission threshold for the inner court of the Shrek Academy is sixteen years old. They are not yet old enough, so they are definitely not from the inner court. The most worthy of your attention are actually the two younger team members. To be able to represent Shrek Academy at this age, their talents must be extraordinary, and even the inner court disciples who have been pre-determined will be..."
At this point, he paused and said, "Your strongest competitor in the future."
"Competitor? Haha... maybe." Gu Yuena shook his head.
Wu Zhangkong also frowned when he saw her like this.
"Teacher Wu, do you think they can compare to my brother-in-law?" Lan Fozi suddenly asked innocently.
Wu Zhangkong:...
He only realized at this time that although he had accepted the strength of Long Yuan, he was only eighteen years old at this time, and he still had half a year to go before he turned nineteen.
How can those people compare to the genius of Long Yuan?
Therefore, Wu Zhangkong was silent. With such a brother here, it is normal for Gu Yuena to be dismissive of the person Shrek Academy just now.
Skysea City Administrator announced the end of the exhibition match on the radio, and then looked at Long Yuan politely. "President Long, I'd like to trouble you next."
Long Yuan nodded, stood up, straightened his collar, and walked towards the referee's rest area.
When passing Cai Yue'er, their eyes met for a moment.
Long Yuan walked by expressionlessly, as if she was just air.
Cai Yue'er's brows wrinkled slightly.
"The exhibition match is over, and the drawing process will begin." The voice of the radio sounded, suppressing the discussion in the crowd.
"Let us invite Vice President Blacksmith Association, eight stars Saint Craftsman, Long Yuan Grandmaster, to preside over this lottery ceremony for us."
