Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 24 The competition begins

The sun slowly rose from the distant sky, illuminating the earth, and a warm feeling instantly rose in Xingluo City.

On the city wall of the imperial city, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and an eight-treasure purple-gold crown stood with his hands behind his back.

His position was right in the center of the main gate of the imperial city, which was also the best spot to watch the competition below.

Beside him stood a beautiful woman dressed in magnificent palace attire, respectful and dignified, with a stunning smile on her face, accompanying him on the left.

A few steps behind were the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire.

They stood respectfully behind the man and the beautiful woman, bowing low.

"Your Majesty, everything is arranged. The draw is complete, the order of the matches is set, and the surrounding area is in good order. The public can be allowed to enter, and the matches can be declared to have begun!"

Behind the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, a man in a dragon robe, the prime minister, dressed in bright red, stepped forward, bowed to the emperor, and said...

The Star Luo Emperor smiled and nodded: "Pass on my decree: all checkpoints shall begin allowing people to enter, control the speed, maintain order, and severely punish any problems that occur!"

"Yes!"

The Prime Minister bowed again, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

Emperor Xingluo glanced at the civil and military officials behind him and waved his hand:
"Everyone, sit down!"

After saying this, he took the empress's hand and sat on the dragon and phoenix thrones that had been prepared in advance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the civil and military officials bowed and expressed their gratitude in unison, they took their seats after seeing the Emperor and Empress of Xingluo take their seats.

At this moment, people from all directions of the Star Luo Empire were allowed to enter.

Guided and controlled by the soldiers, they entered the arena in an orderly fashion, like long dragons.

These people all bought their tickets at high prices; the closer to the competition stage, the more expensive they were.

After all, building a viewing platform requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

It's only right that the government provides spectator seats for the public, and the public gives the government some compensation; it's a win-win situation.

Of course, the empire will also take this opportunity to make a fortune.

This is one of the reasons why the four great empires are all willing to hold the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

As the audience took their seats, the participating and reserve members of the various Soul Master academies, led by their team leaders, entered the areas specifically set up for the contestants.

Sitting at the front is the Shrek Academy team; they are the reigning champions and deserve this position.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team sat behind Shrek Academy.

Ye Chen looked ahead and quickly recognized many people from Shrek Academy.

Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and others were dressed exactly like the characters in the anime they had seen in their previous lives.

It's the traditional dark green school uniform, the standard color of Shrek Academy.

Only ten people from Shrek Academy came, and they were all very young.

The youngest are naturally Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong still had a touch of childishness on their faces.

Xiao Xiao, in particular, is short and looks like just a little girl.

Many people looked puzzled. What exactly was Shrek Academy sending such a lineup for?
After a period of time, when all the members of the public and the participating team members had entered the venue, a loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue:

"quiet!"

As soon as the sound faded, the noisy competition venue fell silent.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

"Wow..."

A loud voice resounded throughout the entire area, and all the soldiers, including the civilians, knelt down on one knee in unison, saluting the Star Luo Emperor.

"Everyone loves you!"

The Star Luo Emperor's voice was amplified by the soul-guided loudspeaker and spread throughout the entire venue.

Everyone sprang to their feet, all eyes fixed on the middle-aged man in dragon robes atop the imperial city walls. He stood there, his gaze gentle yet imposing, head held high, looking upon his millions of subjects, and said:

"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is the most important event in the Soul Master world of Douluo Continent. I am very happy that this year it is my Star Luo Empire's turn to host it."

"On behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome everyone to this room. I hope that in the upcoming month-long competition, the cream of the crop from each academy will be able to showcase their true talents!"

"I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun!"

With the Emperor of Xingluo's loud announcement, the grand event officially began.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The crowd shouted in unison, their emotions instantly stirred, and everyone was filled with enthusiasm.

It was only at such a grand event that they were able to truly see His Majesty the Emperor's face.

Many people were very excited.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The cannons roared and fired continuously for 108 rounds before stopping.

Thunderous applause and cheers resounded throughout Xingluo Square and the streets and alleys of Xingluo City.

"According to the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the first round will be an elimination tournament."

The first match featured teams from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Capital Empire and Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the Douluo Continent.

The host announced the competition in a loud voice, and the atmosphere in Xingluo Square once again reached its peak.

"Invite players from both sides to come forward!"

As the host finished speaking, the members of Shrek Academy's reserve team and Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy's team stood up.

"Shrek will win!"

The Shrek Academy members clasped their hands together to cheer themselves on.

Then, head held high and chest out, he walked toward the competition stage.

They are from Shrek Academy, and although they are in the reserve team, they still have the belief that they will win.

They are proud of Shrek Academy and are determined to win the championship this time.

Huo Yuhao and the others entered the venue one after another.

The Shrek Academy team members who will be appearing this time are Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao.

They are the current generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

Ye Chen frowned when he saw this scene. He knew that these people were the Shrek Seven Devils.

It's just unclear why Huo Yuhao, despite losing his two major advantages, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, was still chosen as one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

It's really incomprehensible. I never expected that Huo Yuhao wouldn't be expelled by that old witch Zhou Yi.

"In this match, we not only want to win, but we want to win beautifully, and we want to bring glory to Shrek Academy!"

Beibei turned to everyone and said this, then led the group onto the competition stage.

"What is Shrek Academy doing? Why didn't they send any help? Why isn't Dai Hao's son playing?"

Upon seeing Shrek Academy's lineup, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire frowned, a look of doubt on his face.

People from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and other Soul Master academies all showed expressions of doubt.

I simply cannot understand Shrek Academy's actions.

Do the people at Shrek Academy really think that those few kids can win one victory after another?

"In the first round of elimination matches, both sides can use most of their soul tools to compete, but if one side concedes defeat, the other side cannot continue to attack."

Furthermore, you cannot use high-damage equipment such as fixed-position soul tools in combat! Do you understand?

The referee stood at the edge of the middle of the playing platform, where a special seat was set up for the referee, and announced the rules of the game.

Standing three meters tall, it offers a clear view of the entire arena.
