Three days have passed since the annihilation battle. All personnel rushed on their way and finally arrived at the city where the competition was held - Xingluo City.
As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the largest city in the empire and the political, cultural and economic center of the Star Luo Empire. It is known as the imperial capital that will never fall.
The walls of Xingluo City are entirely made of hard rock. Both the height and thickness of the walls reach a hundred meters. The city covers an area of more than a thousand square kilometers and is more than a hundred miles in length and breadth. The widest main road can accommodate ten people at the same time.
Six carriages were traveling in both directions, and this was just the outer city.
The core of the entire city is in the center of Xingluo City, which is the inner city. The inner city is 960 meters long and 750 meters wide. The city wall is 20 meters high, which is equivalent to a city within a city.
The permanent population of Star Luo City exceeds 8 million. Including outsiders, the maximum capacity of the city is 20 million. But such a large city seems a bit overwhelmed due to the holding of the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.
It was crowded. The number of tourists increased dramatically in just half a month. All hotels were almost full, forcing the officials to requisition some residential houses and open some official mansions as temporary residences for tourists. The number of soldiers maintaining order in the city also increased significantly.
Increase.
The venue for the competition is in Xingluo Square in front of the Imperial City of Star Luo City. Xingluo Square is very large and can accommodate the largest number of spectators. It is said that for this competition, soldiers to maintain order alone were mobilized in the city.
There were 30,000 soldiers. Ten thousand of them were responsible for duty in Xingluo Square.
Not far from the east side of Xingluo Square, there is a seven-story hotel. This hotel named Star Emperor is owned by the royal family. This time it was specially set aside to receive students from high-level soul master academies or soul masters from various countries.
Contestants who mentor mentees.
As the defending champion and the number one soul master academy in the mainland, the participating team members from Shrek Academy were arranged in a luxurious room on the top floor. Not only did each person have a bedroom, there was also a special conference room for them to use.
.
At this time, all fifteen team members, plus the teacher Wang Yan who led the team, were sitting in the conference room, holding a pre-game mobilization meeting.
They arrived at Star Luo City yesterday, which was considered very late among the participating colleges. However, as the defending champion and the number one college in the mainland, in the eyes of others, this was just because of the pride of Shrek College.
Elder Xuan's absence means that he voluntarily returned to the academy to accept his punishment. If during the inquiry, some students asked to return to the academy, then Elder Xuan would also be responsible for bringing new members over. However, the disciples in the inner courtyard were unanimously unwilling to withdraw, so Elder Xuan only had to accept his punishment.
In Shrek's exclusive conference room, Wang Yan said with a calm expression: "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the ultimate battle between academies from all over the world. Based on the principles of fairness and impartiality, the competition is based on the comprehensive strength of each academy.
. Therefore, the competition method is also the most abundant and flexible. I went to find out today. There are a total of 133 senior soul master academies and advanced soul master academies participating this time. They all live in this hotel.
The first round of the preliminary round is directly the knockout round. In other words, the loser will be eliminated directly. The competition method used in the first round is a team battle. Seven vs. seven. A draw will be held tomorrow. It is expected that the first round will be
It will take three days to complete.
After the first round of competition, each group of eight or nine teams will start a round-robin competition. In this stage, a random competition system is used. There are three situations in the random competition system. One is a single elimination system, and the second is a three-, two-, and two-person cooperative battle mode.
The third type is a seven-on-seven team battle. This will test the overall strength. Every game must be drawn, and then the game will be played. Whichever mode is drawn will be played in which way. Is it right?
The best test of comprehensive strength.”
Beibei turned to Wang Yan and said worriedly: "Teacher, all our current seniors are injured and basically unable to play before the knockout rounds. Can we just rely on us?"
Wang Yan understands Beibei's concerns very well. In fact, he is also uneasy because the knockout round is a team battle, and although Sun Wukong is very powerful, he is not sure how he will perform in team battles.
But the confidence of the reserve team must not be undermined. There is no morale at all, and there will be no fight tomorrow. Wang Yan smiled slightly, showing his superb acting skills, and reasoned with the reserve team for a while, fooling them into relaxing. Saying that the opponent is poor is not a good match.
When you arrive at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, you won't encounter the Soul King or anything like that. He cheered up the reserve team members and then let them go to rest. Sun Wukong was kept by him.
But as soon as the reserve team members left, Wang Yan changed his face and said, "Everyone in the inner courtyard, please report on the recovery progress."
Ma Xiaotao was the first to speak: "I'll do it first! As I expected, after flying at full strength, I still need fifteen days to start."
Dai Yueheng said: "My cultivation level is not as good as Xiao Tao's. I'm afraid it will take a little longer, about sixteen days."
The other soul kings said that it would take almost seventeen days. Wang Yan felt the huge pressure at this time. According to his calculations, by the time the main selection can take action, it is estimated that they have already reached the semi-finals. Can the current team get there?
?Wang Yan was very suspicious.
However, there is always a way, so Sun Wukong stepped forward and said: "If you want to take action, you can, as long as you drink one or two drops of monkey wine before the game, you can give your best in the game for three minutes."
Wang Yan said in surprise: "Is what you said true?" Wang Yan originally only wanted to give Sun Wukong a heads up and tell him to cooperate with the team more during the competition, but he did not expect that there would be such great good news.
Sun Wukong affirmed: "They are all affected by the internal organs, and the powerful medicinal effect of monkey wine can protect the organs in the body, but there is not much wine. On average, no one can play at full strength for about three minutes."
After Wang Yan received the news, he began to plan a strategy. Before the disciples in the inner courtyard fully recovered, each one could appear once. This kind of opportunity should not be used lightly. In emergency situations, it must be used on the edge.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire revealed a serious atmosphere.
All the streets around Xingluo Square are blocked by soldiers in bright armor. Especially near the Star Emperor Hotel, there are thousands of soldiers stationed. The streets leading from here to Xingluo Square have been completely under martial law. Only those leading from the Star Emperor Hotel
Only the participating team members from each college who walk out of the hotel can pass.
The competition stage used for this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not built in the center of Xingluo Square. It is in front of the main entrance of the Imperial City. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire can compete with his civil and military personnel.
The ministers watched the battle directly from the top of the imperial city. Not only did they have the best view, but they were also safe.
Early in the morning, the leading teachers from each college had already arrived at the Imperial City to draw lots based on the competition number plates they received when registering.
At this time, the lottery ceremony has been completed. Officials from the Star Luo Empire have compiled the results of the lottery. Once the order of the competition is announced, the final preparations for the early stage of the competition will be completed.
After a series of complicated procedures, the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition finally began.
A loud voice sounded, "According to the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. The first round will be an elimination round. There are a total of 133 senior soul masters and soul master academies registered for this competition.
After drawing lots, one player will get a bye in the first round. A total of sixty-six games will be played. The first round is a knockout system. The loser will directly end the journey of this competition.
Next, the first game will begin immediately. The two sides of the game are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy representative team from the Dou Ling Empire, and the mainland's No. 1 Academy. They have countless honors and have won almost all competition championships in the past nearly a thousand years.
Shrek Academy representative team."
With this announcement by the host of the competition, the atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Square suddenly boiled.
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."
The shouts for Shrek Academy resounded from almost every corner of the square.
