Chapter 161 Laughing Hongchen and Dreaming Hongchen
Wang Yan then went on to tell some things to note about this continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition, and then let everyone go back to rest.
For them, the most important thing at the moment is to get Beibei, Xu Sanshi and He Caitou back to their best condition as soon as possible so that they can cope with the intensive round-robin schedule after the knockout rounds.
Next are Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and Gong Yang Mohe, the four main players. As long as they can come back, Shrek Academy will still be a strong contender for the championship of this continental advanced soul master academy fighting competition.
As for Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong, they seemed to be still immersed in the self-blame and shame of sitting idly by when they encountered the Death Messenger bandit group. At present, their strength could not help them much, and their moods were even lower.
In such a tense atmosphere, even Xu Sanshi did not pester Jiang Nannan as usual. After Wang Yan announced the disbandment, he, Beibei, and Caitou went directly back to the room to seize the time to recover from their injuries.
Among the people, the only ones who looked calm and composed were Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian. They finally left the conference room and walked together towards the restaurant at the end of the corridor.
Living on the top floor of the Star King Hotel, there are representative teams from two academies, respectively the champion and runner-up of the last continental advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition.
Shrek Academy and Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
In order to avoid conflicts, the organizers of the Star Luo Empire arranged the participating students from the two colleges on both sides. The stairs were used as the dividing line. At the end of the corridors on both sides, there was a top-notch restaurant dedicated to the participating students and teachers from both sides.
They provide daily meals.
You can order food in person at the restaurant, or you can ask the waiter to bring it to your room.
Among the 133 representative teams of students participating in the competition, only Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy can enjoy such special services.
Ning Tian walked beside Xu Zihuang and looked into Xu Zihuang's big, bright aqua blue eyes, which were extremely firm.
The boy she likes will be the center of attention wherever he goes.
Even in the Senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, which brought together the younger generation of talented soul masters from all over the continent, the young man's brilliance could not be obscured.
She must become better, otherwise she may not even be qualified to stand by Yu Tianhuang's side in the future.
From childhood to adulthood, she has practiced under the most stringent requirements of her family. She needs to shoulder the responsibility given to her by her family in the future. Such a life is boring and empty.
But now, she has a feeling of joy. Yu Tianhuang is the color that infects her monotonous life.
At the door of the restaurant, a total of four girls in white dresses saluted the two of them respectfully.
"Welcome two distinguished guests from Shrek Academy."
The pretty faces of the four girls had friendly smiles, and there was nothing to be picky about in terms of etiquette. The appearance of these four girls was actually better than the welcoming girls Xu Zihuang had seen in the Jubao Pavilion.
It needs to be a higher level.
The clothes are not revealing, showing a dignified atmosphere.
"Two distinguished guests, please come with me." One of the girls smiled and stepped forward and bent down, making an inviting gesture.
When you formally enter the restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is the various splendid decorations. Crystals hang from the ceiling, scattering a soft halo. The restaurant covers an area of at least 500 square meters. It is extremely luxurious.
At this time, only the footsteps of three people echoed in Nuoda's restaurant.
The girl guided Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian to an exquisite dining table that was entirely carved from a single piece of amethyst. She then took out a menu from the silver storage ring on her finger and presented it to them.
Xu Zihuang took the menu and handed it to Ning Tian across from him.
"You order it first."
"Yeah." Ning Tian responded softly with an elegant smile on his face.
The two of them have already gotten along very harmoniously and naturally.
Later, Xu Zihuang also ordered several exquisite dishes cooked with various precious ingredients from the soul beast according to his own taste.
It has to be said that the treatment provided by the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy is indeed generous.
Every dish on the menu uses ingredients that are at least sourced from thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Among the several dishes Xu Zihuang ordered, the most precious one was the braised thousand-year sea dragon tendon. Sea dragon is not a real dragon, but a subdragon-like soul beast with dragon blood that lives in the sea.
However, compared to subdragon soul beasts living on land, sea dragons have richer dragon blood in their bodies. It has a very good nourishing effect on the soul master's body. It can enhance qi and blood, improve physical fitness, warm and nourish the meridians and
Bones. If a soul master with a sub-dragon martial spirit takes this dragon tendon that collects the blood essence of Hai Long for a long time, it may even promote a healthy evolution of his own martial spirit.
But sea dragons, like demon whale-like soul beasts, generally live in the depths of the ocean. If you want to catch them, you have to bear huge risks and go deep into the ocean.
Even if the Star Emperor Hotel has a royal background in the Star Luo Empire, it may not provide much of the sea dragon tendons to Shrek Academy participating students and team teachers. This shows how precious it is.
Xu Zihuang used a silver spoon to gently stir the golden thousand-year-old sea dragon tendons soaked in the fresh and sweet soup. Suddenly he remembered something, raised his head and asked Ning Tian.
"By the way, Ning Tian. Didn't you say last time that your Nine Treasure Glazed Sect and the Noumenon Sect had been in contact? You still have a relationship with the Noumenon Sect?"
"I only heard the elders in the family mention it occasionally." Ning Tian met Xu Zihuang's gaze. She was not too surprised that Yu Tianhuang asked this question.
After all, Yu Tianhuang's martial soul, Golden Boy, is the top body martial soul. It is normal for him to want to know things about the body sect.
"The Noumenon Sect developed and grew in the thousands of years after the destruction of Wuhun Palace ten thousand years ago. At the beginning of the Noumenon Sect's founding, our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect once gave them a certain amount of help. However, since Douluo Continent and Sun Moon
After the collision of the continents, our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect and Noumenon Sect retired from the world one after another, and gradually lost contact with each other."
Xu Zihuang did not continue to struggle with this issue. Originally, he just asked casually.
And he knew that in this continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition, there were people from the Noumenon Sect watching the battle.
Later, he only needs to use his martial soul to show his strength, and people from the Noumenon Sect will naturally come to his door.
The two of them chatted while eating, and the dinner lasted nearly half an hour.
However, when the two of them returned to their respective rooms along the corridor and were about to rest, two people happened to be walking towards them from the other end of the corridor.
The two of them looked about fourteen or five years old. The one walking in front was a handsome young man, wearing a moon-white costume. His left eye was blue and his right eye was green. Two-color
The young man's eyes make him even more handsome. His long, snow-white hair is spread over his shoulders, as proud as its owner.
Behind the boy there is a beautiful girl. The girl's hair is a rare burgundy color, darker than Ma Xiaotao's hair. It is as intoxicating as mellow wine. But her eyes are full of ice.
blue.
The four people's eyes met here.
Seeing Xu Zihuang, who was even more handsome than her brother, the girl's ice-blue eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a mixture of excitement and shyness.
The handsome young man stared at Xu Zihuang proudly. Although he felt a vague sense of threat from Xu Zihuang, the pride in his eyes was not reduced by half.
"My name is Xiao Hongchen, remember my name. Although I don't know whether your Shrek Academy is overconfident or for some other reason, only four members of the regular team have come. But in this year's senior high school class across the continent,
In the Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, your Shrek Academy's undefeated myth will be ended by me personally."
"I hope you can get what you wish for." Xu Zihuang smiled warmly. His expression did not change at all from the beginning to the end.
After saying this, he never looked at Xiao Hongchen again, said hello to Ning Tian and returned to his room.
In Xu Zihuang's eyes, there is no difference between Xiao Hongchen and people like Dai Huabin and Wang Dong. They are all destined to have only one ending, that is, the pride in their hearts will be ruthlessly crushed by him.
Ning Tian on the other side also returned to her room, but before that, she took a deep look at the girl next to Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes were slightly focused, with a thoughtful look on his face, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
The girl next to him, his sister Meng Hongchen, behaved almost exactly like him.
When Xiao Hongchen looked sideways at Meng Hongchen, Meng Hongchen was still looking at the other side of the corridor, stunned.
"Meng, aren't you?" The pride in Xiao Hongchen's eyes dissipated instantly, and he stared at his sister in shock.
"He is our opponent."
"What happened to my opponent?"
When Xiao Hongchen saw what he was thinking, Meng Hongchen's pretty face instantly became covered with red clouds. He snorted softly and pushed open the door to his room.
Then there was another loud "bang" and the door was slammed shut.
Only a dull-looking Xiao Hongchen was left standing in the aisle.
…
The next morning, the golden morning glow swayed over the majestic outline of Xingluo City, highlighting the simplicity and grandeur of this ancient capital.
Today is the official start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.
The Xingluo Square in front of the Imperial City is divided into areas by rows of fine iron fences with a height of more than five meters. These areas are also places where spectators will wait to watch the battle.
Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing uniform armor and stomach guarded the surroundings of Xingluo Square to maintain order.
Now only participating students and team leaders staying at the Xinghuang Hotel can enter the Xingluo Plaza.
The competition stage for this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is built to the north of Xingluo Square, which is also in front of the main entrance of the Imperial City. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire can directly stand in front of the city with his civil and military officials.
Watching the battle from a high position.
Under the leadership of Wang Yan, everyone representing Shrek Academy came to stand in the contestant area.
Today, everyone is wearing the traditional dark green uniforms of Shrek Academy. As the champions of the last continental advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition, their positions are naturally arranged in the front row.
No one raised any objection to this, because this is an honor that Shrek Academy has accumulated through its strength over thousands of years.
A total of 133 college team members stood in the contestant area, and the crowd of spectators also entered the venue in an orderly manner under the command of the soldiers. The entire Xingluo Square suddenly became noisy.
At the same time, Wang Yan, the leading teacher of Shrek College, and the leading teachers of other colleges began to draw lots for the first round of the knockout round.
Without the team leader beside them, the contestants from other colleges standing behind Shrek College couldn't help but express surprise when they saw the Shrek College's lineup.
He Caitou, who looks mature and has a strong body, is fine. Although the heights of Xu Zihuang, Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan are close to adults, their slightly immature faces can clearly be seen.
He's not very old. He's about fifteen years old at most.
There is no need to say more about Ning Tian and Wang Dong.
What exactly is Shrek Academy planning to do by sending out such a lineup?
Such a question appeared in everyone's mind.
But even so, the contestants from other colleges did not dare to have the slightest contempt for Shrek College. The name of Shrek Continent's No. 1 College is really too loud.
Most of the academy's contestants are secretly praying not to run into Shrek Academy in the next first round of eliminations.
After the drawing of lots was completed soon, Wang Yan returned to Xu Zihuang and others, with a wonderful expression on his face.
"The opponent we drew in the first round is the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Dou Ling Empire. This academy is one of the top three outstanding academies in the Dou Ling Empire and has supplied a large number of talents to the Dou Ling Empire. In this
Each team has at least one soul king. In other words, Tianhuang, what you need to face is a team with a Soul Sect cultivation level or above led by at least one soul king. We are a bit unlucky.
OK."
Among all participating academies, only about one-tenth of the teams have students with Soul King cultivation level or above. Before the age of twenty, the number of students with soul power reaching level 50 is only a minority.
Even the graduation requirements for the outer court of Shrek Academy are only to reach the soul sect. A twenty-year-old soul king with such a talent is fully qualified to enter the inner court of Shrek Academy.
"Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy?" Xu Zihuang's mind moved slightly as he recalled the information about this team.
Ice and Fire Dual Control Thousand Strike Spear.
Ma Xiaotao spoke calmly and freely at the pre-war meeting yesterday, but at this moment she still couldn't help but frown.
Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and others were in the same mood as Ma Xiaotao. If they lost this game, everything would be over.
Now they can only choose to believe Yu Tianhuang.
While Wang Yan was explaining to everyone, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown walked to the top of the city. Standing with his hands behind his back, he happened to be standing in the center of the city, looking down.
Excellent location for racing.
He is Xu Jiawei, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire. Behind him are all the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire.
"Quiet!" An old man wearing a bright red civil servant quickly stepped forward and shouted.
A loud sound spread across the entire venue, and all the soldiers in silver armor hit the ground with the handles of their spears. There was a clanging sound similar to the collision of metal, bringing a chilling atmosphere.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
The people present knelt down one after another. Hundreds of thousands of people made such an action in unison. The scene was extremely spectacular.
The soldiers knelt down on one knee, while the participating students and the leading teacher bent down to salute.
"Everyone is safe." Xu Jiawei inspected his people with soft but majestic eyes.
Everyone who got up turned their attention to the top of the imperial city again.
"On behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome you all. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is a grand event across the continent. This tradition has lasted for tens of thousands of years since ancient times. I am very happy that this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is a grand event for the entire continent.
The Teacher Academy Soul Fighting Competition can be held in Xingluo City. I hope you will show your due style in the competition in the following month."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The participating students and leading teachers from one hundred and thirty-three colleges bowed and saluted again.
Xu Jiawei also smiled and nodded in the direction of everyone. Then with his loud announcement, the curtain of this grand event was finally unveiled.
"Next, I announce that this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun."
The salute and the shouts of the crowd blended together and resounded throughout the world.
Xu Jiawei and a group of civil and military officials took a few steps back and sat down at the positions they had prepared earlier.
The prime minister representing Xu Jiawei came to the city again and said loudly.
"The first round of this competition is the knockout round. There are one hundred and thirty-three participating colleges, one of which has a bye, and a total of sixty-six games are required. The first game will start immediately.
"Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy will face off against Shrek Academy, which has countless honors and has almost won the Soul Fighting Competition Championship among all the advanced soul master academy in the continent in the past thousands of years!"
His words completely set off the atmosphere at the scene.
"Shrek——"
"Shrek——"
"Shrek——"
"..."
The image of Shrek Academy among the people has long been deified. In a sense, Shrek Academy is a symbol of invincibility.
Xu Zihuang turned around calmly and looked around at everyone.
He immediately turned around again and walked firmly towards the playing field.
