Chapter 314: The first qualifying match, the battle begins (Part 1)
The master of ceremonies on the side of the VIP table said loudly: "Now, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire to announce the opening of this competition."
Just as Tang San guessed, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, sitting in the center of the first row of the VIP seats, wearing a red-gold robe, slowly stood up amidst thunderous applause.
He raised his right hand and waved lightly to the audience and the participating spirit masters below. The applause quickly stopped, and the square of Nuo University became silent.
A calm and resonant voice spread throughout the audience through the loudspeaker soul guide, "I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire and on behalf of the organizer of this competition, announce the Pan-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition
Opening now.”
The applause thundered again, and cheers came one after another. But Tang San, who was present, suddenly discovered that the smile on the Emperor's face was a bit forced, as if he was not excited about this competition.
When the applause fell silent again, His Majesty the Emperor continued: "Here, I hope that all the soul masters participating in this competition can give full play to their strengths and achieve good results. You are all the pride of the Tiandou Empire.
For the glory of the empire, show your glory."
Applause rang out for the third time. This time, the eyes of the soul masters in the center of the competition venue were filled with blazing light. For them, such a competition would be the best stage for them to show off.
His Majesty the Emperor sat back down, and the master of ceremonies' voice sounded again, "Now, I would like to invite Mr. Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Qibao Glazed Sect, to give a speech for this competition."
As Ning Fengzhi stood up, applause appeared again, and more attention was paid to him. As the number one auxiliary soul master in the soul master world, who wouldn't want to see his style.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and pressed his hands, "I am very happy to be invited to be the guest at the opening of this competition. As the head of the Qibao Glazed Sect, I have seen too many soul masters grow up. As the most noble profession in the mainland,
, the development of every soul master must go through many hardships. But what I want to say is that the sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Those participating in this soul master competition are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation.
As His Majesty said just now, 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 the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
The master of ceremonies said: "Sect Master Ning, you are the most powerful auxiliary soul master. On behalf of the audience watching this game, I would like to ask you. Which of the twenty-eight teams participating in the Tiandou City Division Qualifiers do you think highly of?"
Where’s that one?”
Ning Fengzhi was still smiling, "In addition to the Tiandou Royal Academy team that entered the finals as a seed team, I am also optimistic about another team among the twenty-eight teams this time. I think they not only have
With the ability to pass the preliminaries, at the same time, it is very possible to win the final victory in this elite competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy."
"Oh?" the master of ceremonies said in surprise: "I wonder how the team could get the clear eyes of Sect Leader Ning?"
Ning Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously and said: "As for which college this team belongs to, I cannot reveal it for the time being. But I believe that the final champion of this competition will definitely belong to the Empire."
Sitting next to Emperor Xue Ye, the platinum bishop who had been slightly closing his eyes before opened his eyes at this time. His eyes looked very cloudy and lacked any brilliance. His eyes fell on the twenty-eight participating teams in the field.
The team seemed to be looking for the team that Ning Fengzhi was talking about.
At this time, the audience had already started a heated discussion. They all guessed which team Ning Fengzhi was optimistic about. Those who were smarter would naturally understand that Ning Fengzhi was not referring to the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy. Because their strength was still
How could a team that was not as good as the seeded team be the final champion? But there were a total of twenty-eight teams participating in the qualifiers, and only five teams could appear in the end. How could it be so easy to guess?
Ning Fengzhi sat back in his seat, and the master of ceremonies smiled and said: "It's a pity that I couldn't get the team he was optimistic about from Sect Master Ning. Next, I would like to invite the master of the Wuhun Temple of Tiandou City, Platinum Bishop Sara of the Wuhun Temple.
Mr. Si will draw lots for the first round of qualifiers. After the draw is over, the Tiandou Royal Academy vice-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 College versus Purple Star College."
"In the first round of the qualifiers, Auckland College faced off against Flame Glory College."
"..."
"The first round of the qualifying round, Tiandou Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy."
"..."
No one paid much attention to the other colleges' matches against Shrek Academy. When they heard that their opponents in the first round were actually the vice-team of Tiandou Royal Academy, the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but become weird.
Oscar murmured: "It can't be such a coincidence."
Ma Hongjun pressed his fingers and made a series of crackling sounds, "Great. Didn't they drive us out? Let them see what strength is this time."
Tang San and Dai Mubai had wry smiles on their faces. Naturally, they were eager to fight against the Tiandou Royal Academy, but now that their outfits were to become the focus of the competition on the first day, it was really...
It’s not just everyone at Shrek Academy who is surprised. The audience is also surprised. Other academies may not have received much attention. But Shrek Academy is so ‘outstanding’, how could it not be noticed?
For a time, there was an endless stream of boos and boos. Many spectators were shouting the word "cheating". In their opinion, the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy was obviously looking for a soft persimmon. But Shrek Academy didn't look like the first team at all.
The team of soul masters is more like a group of clowns.
After the drawing of lots, the platinum bishop Salas glanced at the audience and said calmly: "I feel that the drawing of lots is not false. I swear by the honor of the Spirit Hall. At the same time, I am here to announce that the spirit masters present
For all the participating students from the academy who can advance to the finals, Wuhun Temple will make an exception and allow them to directly join Wuhun Temple."
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was fine, but the soul masters in the venue were already in an uproar.
What kind of existence is the Spirit Temple? It is the highest place after the Pope Palace and the Douluo Palace. There are only one in the capitals of the two empires in the entire continent. The Pope Palace is the exclusive place of the Pope. Douluo Palace
The temple has a symbolic meaning. Therefore, the status of the Wuhun Temple is actually the highest level institution in the Wuhun Temple. Being able to directly enter the Wuhun Temple is a shortcut for a soul master to improve his strength.
.Not only does he have the best treatment, various cultivation measures, and the honor of the Spirit Temple, he is extremely attractive to ordinary spirit masters.
After listening to the platinum bishop's words, Emperor Xue Ye's expression visibly darkened. Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, gently shook his head at the emperor. Emperor Xue Ye's expression softened a bit.
The people around them were behind them, so naturally they couldn't see this small detail. The soul masters below were far away. However, this did not escape Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes. He could clearly see the details in it.
Some mysteries. Combined with some things the master once told himself, Tang San understood that the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the empire seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, almost reaching an irreconcilable level. Otherwise, the platinum bishop would
He didn't dare to recruit outstanding soul masters in front of the emperor.
"Okay, then the first game of the first round of the qualifiers that will be held next will be between Tiandou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy. All participating colleges will withdraw. Please be prepared for the two colleges that will compete later. Half an hour later
, the game officially begins.”
"Third brother, let me appear." The fat man ignored the scornful and contemptuous looks around him and said to Tang San eagerly.
Tang San glared at him, "Proceed as originally planned. You don't have to argue."
Tai Long laughed and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Junior, don't worry. Brother will help you teach that guy from Tiandou Royal Academy a lesson later."
The fat man was like a deflated rubber ball. If two words were used to describe his eyes at this moment, the word resentment would be the most suitable.
Since other academies did not have a game today, I left the rest area directly after leaving the game, and under the leadership of the staff, I went to the stand specially prepared for the players to watch the game. Because the Tiandou Royal Academy is the symbol of the royal family of the Tiandou Empire, the treatment is natural and fair.
Unlike ordinary academies, they don't rest here. Soon, only the Shrek Academy group was left in the rest area of Novo University.
Flanders, Master, and Liu Erlong didn't come. Obviously, this game was left to them to control on their own.
Dai Mubai said solemnly: "Xiaosan, you make the arrangements."
