Douluo Continent: Ice and fire twin holy dragons

Not only the Shrek Academy representative team was having a meeting, but almost all participating academies were mobilizing at this time.The same is true for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, which lives on the same floor as Shrek Academy.

They were ranked No. 2 in almost every competition, so the treatment they received in the Star Emperor Hotel was almost the same as that of Shrek Academy.They have only one goal, and that is to strive for first place.

In the meeting room, two old men sat at the top, and a total of fourteen students sat on both sides. The students on the left were obviously older, and the students on the right were slightly younger.Apparently, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy also sent a regular selection team and a reserve team for five years later.

The old man on the left side of the table above has a straight nose and a square mouth. He has a dignified appearance and a face as heavy as a jujube. Sitting there with broad shoulders gives people a very solid feeling.He said solemnly: "According to our observations, only ten people came to Shrek Academy this time, and only three of them looked to be under 20 years old. The others were older. We enabled the intrusion function People within the Star Luo Empire have received accurate information. When they signed up, only those three were 19 years old, and the other seven were all under 15. In other words, Shrek Academy did not send seven students at all this time The main players came to compete. Only two of the seven people from the reserve team of the last competition came, and the 19-year-old female student also appeared for the first time. Do you know what this means?"

The fourteen students on both sides were a little puzzled.

The first old man on the right has a bearded face, and is also tall, with short white hair like steel needles, and the hair on both sides of the temples is connected with the beard, looking very majestic.

He slammed the table, stood up and said: "It means contempt, contempt for us. They look down on us at all. They think that just sending a reserve team can defeat us. This is a slap in the face, do you know? This is The most direct slap in the face. According to the rules of the conference, registration has closed today. They will rely on this lineup to compete with us. Ma Rulong."

"Here we come." A male student sitting at the head of the main team suddenly stood up.His appearance was somewhat similar to that of the angry old man. He was very tall and burly, and he also had short hair, but lacked the curly beard. His eyes were shining, and his whole body seemed to be bursting with inexhaustible power.

"If you lose to a lineup like Shrek Academy in this competition, you, the captain, will get out of Mingde Hall."

"Yes." Ma Rulong's answer was still only one word, but the resonant voice was already full of murderous intent.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry. I don't think it's that simple." Sitting opposite Ma Rulong, the captain of the reserve team who is less than 15 years old is a handsome young man with a pair of bright blue eyes and a slender and tall figure. .The pair of hands resting on the table are extremely white and slender, with a jade-like color that is difficult for even girls to possess.He seemed to be very concerned about his hands. Even when he was talking to Mr. Ma, he kept looking at his hands, as if he was admiring the most exquisite artwork in the world.

Ma Lao frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "What do you mean it's not that simple?"

The handsome young man still looked at his fingers and said: "Shrek Academy is not a fool. Don't they know that sending three people here is definitely not our opponent? I have great confidence in Brother Rulong. I think they have Maybe it was an accident. Doesn’t Shrek Academy always attach great importance to us? Would they be so careless?"

Mr. Ma blushed slightly at what he said. Of course he had such thoughts in his mind, but his previous words were just to encourage the students.

"Of course that's the best. Xiao Hongchen, you'd better focus on those Shrek Academy students who are under 15 years old. In the next competition, they will be your opponents."

Xiao Hongchen, a handsome young man, finally raised his head and smiled, which gave off a stunning feeling, "Old Ma, my opponent is only myself."

Ma Rulong, who was across from him, his face darkened: "Xiao Hongchen, please be honest with me."

Xiao Hongchen smiled: "Brother Ma, I'm very honest! You have to work hard. Don't face Shrek Academy and lose the game like this. Ma Laoke said just now, in that case you have to leave It’s Mingdetang. That’s such a pity, isn’t it?”

"You..." Ma Rulong's eyes suddenly flashed evil spirits, but Ma Lao gave him a glare, and said in a deep voice: "Sit down. Alright, now I will arrange the first round of players."

Although Xiao Hongchen is only the captain of the reserve team, it seems that no matter whether it is Ma Rulong, the official captain, or the two old men who lead the team, they are a little afraid of him.Although Xiao Hongchen always had a smile on his face, the arrogance deep in his eyes seemed to be superior to everyone.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight hit Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire revealed a serious aura.

All the streets around Xingluo Plaza were blocked by soldiers in bright armor, especially near the Xinghuang Hotel, where thousands of soldiers were stationed. Team members from each academy who walked 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, but in front of the main entrance of the Imperial City.In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire and his civil and military ministers could directly watch the battle from a high position on the top of the imperial city.Not only does it have the best view, it's also safe and worry-free.

The entire competition platform is 100 meters in length and width, and [-] meters in height.There are a total of [-] metal pillars on the periphery of the competition platform.This is not a decoration, but a real protective soul tool.After the start of the competition, one hundred and eight soul masters will preside over the protection of the competition platform. These metal pillars will form a protective cover to block all the soul skills inside from overflowing, so as not to damage the imperial city or hurt innocent people.

It cost a huge amount of money just to build this competition platform, plus mobilizing [-] soul masters to serve the competition for more than a month, it is really difficult without national power.

At this time, the Star Luo Square was completely empty, except for the soldiers in the distance, there was no one in the square.

The last time the Star Luo Empire held the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, there was a stampede. This time the Star Luo Empire royal family attached great importance to it. Not only did they dispatch a large army to maintain order, but they also came up with many new methods.

There are many iron fences on the square. These iron fences with a height of about 1.5 meters will not affect the sight of most people, but they divide the square into different areas.Whether the audience enters or exits, there are different entrances and exits.This made it much easier for the soldiers to maintain order.There will also be a clear limit on the number of people that can be accommodated in each area.

The imperial city is on the north side, facing south, and there is also a luxurious rest area on the west side of the competition platform, which is specially provided for the participating players of each academy.However, the rest area can only accommodate about [-] colleges. Obviously, there are no seats for the eliminated colleges in the first round. This is not a waste, and it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the participating students.

Since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition changed to the current competition system, apart from the final stage of the competition, the most exciting thing is actually the first round of the knockout round, which is far more exciting and even tragic than the subsequent competitions. round robin.

Round robin can also have tactical arrangements, and even tactical failures.But this first round is a direct knockout match. If you lose, you will leave. Any participating academy must pass this level.Even Shrek Academy, the former champion, is the same.There is a bye in the competition, but no academy can directly enjoy the bye.

Early in the morning, the leading teachers from each college had already arrived in the imperial city first, and drew lots with the number plates they received during registration.At this time, the lottery ceremony has all been completed, and the Star Luo Empire has its own officials to count the lottery results.As soon as the order of competition comes out, the final preparations for the competition will be considered complete.

The sun slowly rose high in the sky from the far east, and Star Luo City, which was located in the middle of the mainland, suddenly felt a sense of warmth.

At the head of the imperial city, a middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow robe and wearing a purple gold crown with eight treasures stood with his hands behind his back.The position he was standing at was the very center of the main gate of the imperial city, and it was also the best position to watch the competition stage below.

Beside him was a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous palace dress, who was respectfully and tenderly accompanying him.A few steps behind were the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire.

"Your Majesty." An old man in bright red civil servant's attire stepped forward quickly, came to the man's side and saluted respectfully. From the python pattern embroidered on his robe, it could be seen that the old man's status was extremely noble.It can be described as an extremely human minister.

"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?" His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire asked with a smile.

The Prime Minister said respectfully: "Everything has been arranged. The drawing of lots is over, and the order of the competition has been arranged. The periphery is in order. The public can enter the stadium."

Emperor Xingluo nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, pass on my order. People will be allowed to enter the arena at each gate, control the speed, and maintain order. If there is a problem with whoever is in charge, he will be punished severely."

"Yes." The prime minister took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

Emperor Xingluo said to the beautiful woman beside him: "Queen, I have waited 20 years for this grand event. I really miss when I was young! It's a pity that the royal family has too many rules, otherwise I really wanted to participate in it once."

The queen smiled slightly and said: "The emperor has always had the heart of a warrior."

Emperor Xingluo smiled and said: "You see, students from participating colleges have already entered the venue first. But today they cannot use the rest area. Only those who win the knockout round are eligible to enter the rest area. It is said that this time Shrek Academy Only ten people came, and many of the participating team members were very young. One of the leading team members was Dai Hao’s eldest son. I originally wanted to bring Dai Hao back to watch the game, after all, it only takes his turn to come to our country once every 20 years. But then After thinking about it, I might as well forget it. The Sun and Moon Empire is becoming more and more restless, so I feel more at ease with him guarding Western Xinjiang."

The queen just listened softly without any comment. As the mother of the country, she also cannot be involved in politics, especially when there are many civil servants and generals on both sides.Those generals are all powerful soul masters, and their ears are very strong.

At this moment, people began to enter the arena from all directions of Star Luo Plaza. Under the guidance of soldiers, they gathered in the arena like long dragons.

It is not free to watch the Soul Fighting Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy.The daily admission fee is not too expensive, just two gold soul coins.However, although Star Luo Plaza has strictly controlled the number of people entering the stadium, it can accommodate more than 20 people watching the game at the same time.Two gold soul coins are just the most basic price.The closer the area to the competition table, the more expensive the entry fee.In the spectator area closest to the competition stage, everyone has to pay a hundred gold soul coins to enter.

For ordinary people, this is a lot of money, but for some merchants and nobles, it is nothing.

Star Luo Empire has adopted a method of treating all spectators equally. If you have money, you can sit at the front at most, but the treatment is the same. You can only stand and watch, and there are no seats.This way more people can be accommodated.

From the daily admission fee income alone, the Star Luo Empire can receive approximately 200 million gold soul coins.After a month, it will be 6000 million gold soul coins.Excluding military expenditures and investment, the empire can also make a lot of money.This is one of the reasons why the four major empires are very willing to hold the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.You know, Star Luo City’s annual tax revenue is almost this amount!

Today, everyone in Shrek Academy wears the traditional dark green school uniform, which is the standard color of Shrek Academy.Moreover, their positions are also in the first row of all the colleges, and no college has any objection to this.This is the glory that Shrek Academy has accumulated with its strength for thousands of years.

However, the academy contestants standing behind looked at the lineup of Shrek Academy at this time, and couldn't help showing some surprise.

Even if only ten people came, most of them seemed to be far from 20 years old.You can tell how young they are without judging their bone age.Only the three at the front looked almost old enough.But they all wore cloaks, covering their appearance.

For most of the academies, they are now secretly praying in their hearts, don't run into such strong people as Shrek Academy or Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy in the first round.Otherwise, it is almost equivalent to announcing that they have been eliminated.

The participating team members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy stood behind the Shrek Academy.This also makes it easier for them to observe the Shrek Academy students in front.

It took nearly half an hour for the audience to enter the arena, and the number of people was too many.

The originally empty Star Luo Plaza was already full of people.Fortunately, there are some iron fences to block, divide them into areas, and the soldiers maintain order, which makes it less chaotic.

At this time, it was already three poles in the sun.

"Quiet." A loud voice suddenly spread throughout the audience.Hearing this voice, all the soldiers stood at attention and held up their spears at the same time.Immediately, a murderous air spread throughout the audience, and the noisy Xingluo Square suddenly fell silent.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here."

"Wow——" The crowd suddenly fell to their knees in large numbers, and tens of 10 people made the same neat movements at the same time. The scene was indeed extremely spectacular.

The soldiers knelt on one knee, and all participating academies had been notified accurately before that they were allowed not to kneel, but they had to bow ninety degrees to show their respect for the emperor.

"Everyone, let's go to peace." The voice of the emperor of the Star Luo Empire was amplified and transmitted by the amplified soul guide.Only then did the people stand up one after another, and the students of the participating academies also straightened their backs.All eyes were on the head of the imperial city directly ahead.

Emperor Xingluo had brought his empress and all civil and military officials to the front of the city, his eyes were soft but dignified, and he was inspecting his people.

"The Soul Fighting Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy is the most important event in the world of soul masters in the Douluo Continent. I am very happy that it is our turn to hold this session in the Star Luo Empire. Here, on behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome you from afar. Representatives from various academies headed by Shrek Academy came here. I hope you will show your due demeanor in the next month's competition."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." 130 The leaders and students of the three colleges bowed again.

Emperor Xing Luo also smiled and nodded in their direction.

"Okay, I announce that the Soul Fighting Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy has officially begun." With the loud announcement of Emperor Xingluo, the curtain of this grand event was unveiled.

"Long live, long live, long live!" The crowd shouted in unison, and their emotions were mobilized almost instantly.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The roar of the salute sounded from the top of the city, and it lasted for [-] rounds before it stopped.Star Luo Plaza has become a sea of ​​excitement and cheers.

Emperor Xingluo led all the officials back slightly, the seats had been set up, he sat down with the empress, and waved to the prime minister next to him.The prime minister immediately understood and gave his subordinates the order to start the competition.

The previous loud voice suddenly sounded again: "According to the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academies Soul Fighting Competition, the first round will be an elimination round. For this competition, there are a total of 130 advanced soul master and soul engineer academies registered. After drawing lots, one of the byes in the first round will be played. A total of 66 games will be played. The first round of the game is a knockout system. The loser will directly end the journey of this competition. Next, the first game will start immediately. The two sides of the game, respectively It is the representative team of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Dou Ling Empire, and the number one academy in the mainland, with countless honors, the Shrek Academy representative team that has almost won all the championships in the past thousand years."

With the announcement made by the host of the competition, the atmosphere in the entire Star Luo Plaza suddenly boiled to its peak.

"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."

The voice calling Shrek Academy resounded almost every corner of the square.

Faced with this situation, the seven reserve team members who were about to play were a little dumbfounded.It was the first time for them to encounter such a situation and situation, and everyone looked a little pale for a while.This is hundreds of thousands of viewers!If...if they lose this game and Shrek Academy is eliminated, they simply cannot imagine that situation.

"Don't panic, everyone. This is the glory that belongs to our Shrek Academy, and it is also the glory that will soon belong to you. We also faced the same situation in the last competition. What I can tell you is that our Our opponents will definitely be ten times more nervous and panicked than us, because we are Shrek Academy." Ma Xiaotao's voice reached the ears of every reserve team member.

Faced with the situation before him, even Wang Yan, who is leading the team, is the first time!Only Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen faced each other when they represented Shrek Academy as the reserve team last term.At this time, Ma Xiaotao's words were naturally the most convincing.

Dai Yueheng immediately interjected: "Xiaotao is right. These cheers are for us, they are the glory of our Shrek Academy. What is needed now is your explosion. Once you take the stage, use your strength to prove our strength to everyone. The strength of Shrek Academy. Go ahead. Straighten your chests and use your best mental outlook to reward these supporters."

With the encouragement of the two seniors, everyone's agitated mood calmed down slightly, but everyone's palms were still sweaty.Of course they don't know that in the history of Shrek Academy, there has never been a reserve player in the first round.Because this first game represents the face of Shrek Academy, and it is the first time for the reserve team members to face such an enthusiastic audience, so it will definitely have an impact on their minds.So usually all the main players will be out in the first game.

However, now they have no other choice at all!

At this moment, the voice of the host of the contest sounded: "Let's first invite the players from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to play."

At a relatively rear position in the player area, a group of pale-faced young players came out.When they walked out of the player area, it seemed that even their footsteps were a little fluttering.

Ma Xiaotao smiled and said to Han Chenyu and others: "Look, this is your opponent. Did you notice that some people's calves are sifting through chaff. The reputation of Shrek Academy does place a heavy responsibility and burden on you. Heavy. However, the glory of our Shrek Academy is also one of your most powerful weapons. Show your courage and strength, Shrek will win."

With that said, Ma Xiaotao strode up to Beibei and stretched out her right hand.Others stepped forward one after another, and their eleven right hands joined together.

Wang Yan whispered: "Han Chenyu, you will be responsible for commanding the battle after taking the stage."

Han Chenyu also nodded at this time. For Han Chenyu, this aspect was simply trivial.

"Okay, the members of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have already appeared. At this moment of great attention, next, let us invite the first academy in the mainland, the real king of the academy, the Shrek Academy team to appear." Host The high-pitched voice pierced the clouds, and the Star Luo Square suddenly became a sea of ​​cheering Shrek. Even the Star Luo Emperor, who was sitting on the top of the city and watching the battle, couldn't help standing up, and his face showed Excited.And who knew that when he was the prince, he had studied in Shrek Academy under a pseudonym?Until now, he still loves someone deeply in his heart, the one who still stays in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy...

Eleven hands shook vigorously. When Beibei raised his head again, the lazy smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by a look full of determination.He strode towards the competition stage.

Huo Yuhao followed Beibei, followed by Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Han Chenyu and Wang Dong.

Yes, at this moment, the seven of them represent Shrek Academy, and at this moment, they are the Seven Shrek Monsters of this generation.On them, the aura of ancestors shone, and on them, five people also shone with the aura of belonging to the Tang Sect!

The brilliance of Tang Sect and Shrek finally lit up at the same moment.Their emotions have reached an unprecedented state of excitement.

Amidst the cheers, everyone's breathing was a little short, and their faces were even a little flushed. Amid the excitement, the soul power in their bodies was running at high speed, and everyone felt as if they had inexhaustible strength.

Finally, the high platform is in sight.Beibei did not go directly to the high platform, but turned to his friends and said solemnly: "In this game, we not only want to win, but we also want to win beautifully. We want to bring out the glory that belongs to our Shrek Academy.

Beibei then turned around again and climbed onto the high platform in front with steady steps.

The seven people from both sides gathered at a corner of the competition stage, looking at each other from afar.When the students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy saw such a young lineup sent by Shrek Academy, they couldn't help being stunned.Is this the Shrek academy reserve team coming up?But, this is a knockout round!Are they not afraid?

Also in doubt were everyone watching the match, even all participating academies.Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen even doubted his own judgment.This Shrek Academy is too bold, no matter how strong they are, sending this team of students with an average age of less than 15 years old, and even those who look eleven or twelve years old, can win the competition. The players are all close to 20 years old Is it your college?There is no second chance in the knockout round!

Emperor Xing Luo also had a look of astonishment on his face, and asked in confusion: "What is Shrek Academy doing? Why didn't they send the main force? Why didn't Dai Hao's son play?"

A game is a game, no matter how many people have doubts, this game will still continue.

The referee sent by the Star Luo Empire was already in place, making a gesture for both sides to step forward.

The seven students on both sides quickly gathered in the center of the venue.The closer they got, the Shrek Seven Devils could see the opponent's ugly face even more.Countless history in the past has proved what the result of encountering Shrek Academy in the first round was.
