Yesterday, Zhou Yi finalized her strategy and tactics, finding no reason for Shrek to lose. She could only offer final instructions to Ma Xiaotao and the others to prevent any unforeseen events.
The Shrek team members were also a little nervous about the upcoming finals.
After all, the end of the competition only brought an even greater challenge for them.
Unlike the Shrek students' nervousness, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer students were nervous because of the competition itself.
After all, this is the final! They only have Shrek Academy as their opponent, and even though the difference in strength is huge, the championship is within reach.
Anyone would be incredibly excited.
Because they were so close to the championship, they became even more nervous.
Even with his arrogant Xiao Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen's face was tense at this moment. Occasionally, he would glance at the Shrek Academy students walking with them on the red carpet that had just been laid out the night before, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
However, when his eyes swept over Wang Dong'er's beautiful face, he truly felt extremely nervous.
He thought to himself, " Dong'er is as beautiful as ever."
Compared to Xiao Hongchen's nervousness and excitement, Meng Hongchen behind him mostly focused her gaze on Huo Yuhao.
As she looked at Huo Yuhao, she thought to herself, "Hmph, Huo Yuhao, you've been avoiding me every day since I discovered my identity, haven't you? Even if your eyes are beautiful and possess an indescribable allure, so what..."
"Aaaaaah!! That sharply defined jawline is just too irresistible! I'm going to get you eventually!"
Huo Yuhao felt the burning gaze, raised his eyebrows, and pretended to look up at the sky to avoid eye contact.
Seeing this scene, Meng Hongchen pouted in frustration. If it weren't for this occasion, she would have definitely gone over there directly.
The red carpet leads all the way to the rest area and then circles the competition stage.
On the distant city wall, Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, along with the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire, had already arrived to show respect to the two teams competing in the finals.
Huo Yuhao calmly scanned the city walls, and the first thing he saw was His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, and Xu Jiujiu beside him.
Xu Jiujiu clearly noticed him, immediately waved, and smiled sweetly, her small mouth slightly open as if to say, "Go for it!..."
The next instant, Dai Hao's figure also appeared on it, standing beside him for Xu Jiujiu, looking at Huo Yuhao.
Even the usually stern White Tiger Duke revealed a smile unique to fathers.
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and waved to the two of them. Dai Yueheng, who was walking in front, also saw Dai Hao and was delighted.
He then raised his hand and waved, his eyes filled with the kind of adoration he felt for his father.
Dai Hao nodded to him, then turned to talk to Xu Jiujiu, his future daughter-in-law.
When both teams were almost ready.
Xu Jiujiu, he smiled and reminded him, "Uncle Dai, it's about to begin."
Dai Hao joked, "Haha, the princess used to call me Brother Dai, but now I'm Uncle. I wonder when I'll hear that title again?"
Xu Jiujiu, her pretty face flushed red, and she didn't say anything more. Her eyes were full of shyness, and she could only look at Huo Yuhao below the city.
Seeing this, Dai Hao immediately regained his serious expression, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Silence. The competition is about to begin. Please allow His Majesty to speak."
His voice carried far and wide, its powerful and resolute aura spreading from the city walls.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" All the taxi drivers maintaining order at the scene shouted at the same time, raising their weapons. Instantly, the entire Star Luo Plaza was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Xu Jiawei then made some remarks, and later stated that in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety, he specifically appointed Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, as the referee.
As soon as the Star Luo Emperor finished speaking, a beam of light flashed across the city wall and appeared in the center of the arena. It was none other than Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
After waving to both sides, Huang Jinxu said in a deep voice, "This is the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. I, Huang Jinxu, am the referee for the final. Now, I will announce the rules of the final competition."
Although both teams were already familiar with the rules of the game, the announcements still had to be made in order.
"Now, both sides prepare. In one minute, the players participating in the team battle will enter the arena."
As the competition rules were announced, the atmosphere in the entire Star Luo Plaza suddenly became tense.
Zhou Yi stood up, facing all thirteen Shrek Academy students, and said in a deep voice, " Shrek will win. Remember what I said, win the match, and then we'll go home."
Shrek will win!
Zhou Yi looked at Ma Xiaotao and nodded to her, and Ma Xiaotao nodded in understanding.
On the other side, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had also stood up, listening to their instructor's final instructions.
A minute passed quickly.
"Both teams' members enter the arena." Heavenly Fiend Douluo meticulously calculated the time, not allowing it to linger for even a second.
Seven people immediately stepped forward from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Apart from their captain Ma Rulong, and Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen whom he had seen frequently recently, Huo Yuhao didn't know the names of the other members of their group at all.
Huo Yuhao sat below the stage, watching the two opposing teams on stage, his eyes flashing.
With Ma Xiaotao's support, the Shrek Academy's main team members were now on the verge of victory.
Several members of the opposing Sun Moon Team were immediately intimidated by their imposing aura, their palms sweating slightly, and they could only swallow hard to relieve the tension.
On the city wall, Xu Jiawei whispered to White Tiger Duke beside him, "Brother, Yueheng and the other Shrek Academy regulars are really impressive, especially their captain. They're all promising talents."
Dai Hao's eyes flickered slightly as he replied, "After all, he's a regular member of Shrek Academy. Even I am ashamed to admit my inferiority to Soul Saint of his age."
"Uncle Dai, you're too modest. I'm afraid it won't be long before my Star Luo Empire has another Titled Douluo." Xu Jiujiu's blush faded, and she naturally took over the conversation.
" Princess Jiujiu Jiu is too kind. My talent is still far inferior to that of the Shrek geniuses," Dai Hao replied kindly.
Xu Jiawei didn't put on airs at all, but instead teased, "Jiu-mei, you've been neglecting your cultivation quite a bit in order to run the Chamber of Commerce. How about we have Yuhao take you to train with Brother Dai Xian in a few days?"
She rolled her eyes at him, Xu Jiujiu, and muttered under her breath, "My strength is far superior to yours..."
"What? You don't want to?"
"No, you misheard. I'm Yuhao."
Unbeknownst to them, the relationship between ruler and subject gradually dissipated during their conversation, replaced by a more human touch.
While they were talking, the team members from both sides had already entered the arena, forming two lines and standing to the left and right of the referee Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu.
"I've already announced the rules, so I won't repeat them. Both sides step back and prepare to begin. The match ends when one side has no one left to fight."
Seeing the two sides retreat, Huang Jinxu circulated his Soul Power and announced loudly, " The Continental Advanced Soul Master Soul Fighting Tournament is about to begin! Everyone, get ready!"
The sound rippled gently in the air, reaching every corner of the square.
The crowd watched with burning passion and excitement, yet they suppressed their emotions, their eyes fixed intently on the two teams about to begin their final match.
