The emcee on the side of the VIP table said loudly:
"Now, I would like to invite His Majesty Emperor Heaven Dou Empire to announce the opening of this competition."
Just as Tang San guessed, His Majesty the Emperor Heaven Dou Empire, who was sitting in the center of the first row of the VIP seats and wearing a red-gold robe, slowly stood up amid thunderous applause.
He raised his right hand and waved lightly to the audience and the contestants Soul Master below. The applause quickly stopped, and the square at Nuovo University became silent.
The calm and loud voice spread throughout the audience through Amplifying Soul Tool.
"I, Heaven Dou Empire Emperor Xue Ye, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also on behalf of the organizer of this competition, announce that the Pancontinental High-Level Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is now open."
The applause thundered again, and cheers came and went.
But after saying this, Salas on the side snorted coldly.
This made Emperor Xue Ye, who was originally extremely happy, instantly feel unhappy.
Even the smile on the Emperor's face was a bit far-fetched, especially since Salas made him lose face in front of Yu Tianlong!
This is his planned future son-in-law!
But he also knew that now was not the time to fall out. When the applause fell silent again, Emperor Xue Ye also took a deep breath and continued:
"Here, I hope that all Soul Masters participating in this competition can give full play to their strengths and achieve good results."
"You are all the pride of the Heaven Dou Empire. For the glory of the empire, show your glory."
Applause rang out for the third time, and this time, the eyes of the Soul Masters in the center of the competition venue were filled with burning brilliance.
For them, such a competition will be the best stage to showcase themselves.
His Majesty the Emperor sat back down, and the master of ceremonies' voice sounded again.
"Now, I would like to invite the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Mr. Ning Fengzhi, to give a speech for this competition."
(Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has not yet changed its name to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!)
As Ning Fengzhi stood up, applause appeared again, and more attention was paid to him. As Soul Master World's first assistant Soul Master, who wouldn't want to see his style.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and pressed his hands.
"I am very happy to be invited as a guest at the opening of this competition. As the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I have seen too much of Soul Master's growth experience."
"As the most noble profession in mainland China, the development of every Soul Master must go through many hardships."
"But what I want to say is that the edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
"Those who participated in this Soul Master Tournament are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation."
"As His Majesty just said, I hope you can bring glory to the empire and your own college. The empire needs talents like you. Thank you!"
Listening to Ning Fengzhi's speech, a sincere smile finally appeared on His Majesty the Emperor Heaven Dou Empire's face.
Seeing such a good response, the emcee smiled and continued to ask:
"Sect Master Ning, you are the most powerful Support System Soul Master. On behalf of the audience watching this game, I ask you, which one of the twenty-eight teams participating in the Heaven Dou City split slot qualifier do you like?"
Ning Fengzhi is still smiling.
"Except for Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team, who entered the finals as a seed team, I think all of the twenty-eight teams this time have hope!"
After hearing this answer, the host also knew that Ning Fengzhi didn't want to say too much.
He immediately nodded his head in understanding.
"It seems that Sect Master Ning has placed hope on all Soul Master teams. I hope these teams can display their own style!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly.
"Although I'm not sure who will win in the end, I believe that the empire's genius will not let the empire down!"
Platinum Bishop, who was sitting next to Xue Ye and had his eyes slightly closed before, also opened his eyes after hearing these words. His eyes looked very cloudy and lacked any luster.
His eyes fell on the twenty-eight participating teams in the field. After scanning around, he smiled disdainfully.
It seems that he is very contemptuous of what Ning Fengzhi said.
However, when seeing Yu Tianlong, Salas calmed down a bit.
After all, as Platinum Bishop, he also knows a few things.
Not a lot though!
But one thing he can be sure of is that Yu Tianlong is their Spirit Hall person.
If there is anyone among these people who is capable of winning the championship, Salas thinks it should be the team led by Yu Tianlong who is sitting in the VIP seat.
As for those below, in his opinion they are all rabble!
Ning Fengzhi sat back in his seat, the host smiled and said:
"Next, I would like to invite Master Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Temple, Master Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop Salas to draw lots for the first round of qualifying."
"After the draw is over, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Secondary Team will compete against their opponents drawn in the first round."
"This will also be the only game today."
Platinum Bishop Salas stood up slowly, walked to the emcee under the leadership of the palace maid, and began to draw lots. He seemed reluctant to speak, and handed each pair of opponents to the emcee to announce.
"The first round of the qualifiers, Canghui Academy versus Purple Star Academy."
"The first round of the qualifiers, Oakland Academy versus Flame Radiance Academy."
"..."
"The first round of qualifiers, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Secondary Team versus Shrek Academy."
"..."
No one paid much attention to the matchup between other colleges against the Shrek Academy. When they heard that their opponent in the first round was actually Heaven Dou Royal Academy Secondary Team, the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but become weird, and even showed a hint of Sisi fear!
They have not forgotten how Yu Tianlong treated them before!
Oscar murmured:
"It can't be such a coincidence."
Ma Hongjun pressed his fingers and made a series of bone crackling sounds.
"No, it won't be like this!"
Tang San and Dai Mubai had wry smiles on their faces.
"What kind of luck is this!"
"No, this is the vice team, not the main team. The qualifiers with the strength of Yu Tianlong should not appear!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
Although their strength has improved a lot these days, after all, without the source of trouble, each of them can only focus on cultivation.
Shrek Academy was not the only one who was surprised.
The audience was equally surprised, as other colleges may not have received much attention.
But Shrek Academy is so 'outstanding', how could it not be noticed?
For a time, there was a constant stream of boos and boos, and many spectators shouted the word cheating.
In their opinion, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team is obviously looking for a soft persimmon.
And Shrek Academy doesn't look like a Soul Master team at all, more like a group of clowns.
After the draw was over, Platinum Bishop Salas glanced at the audience and said lightly:
"My drawing of lots is absolutely true. I swear by the honor of the Spirit Hall."
"At the same time, I would like to announce here that Spirit Hall, as an exception, will allow all the participating students from the Soul Master Academy who can advance to the finals to directly join Martial Soul Temple."
