Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 135 Footsteps

The first round of elimination matches in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has finally ended, and the first match of the round-robin tournament will follow.

After the first round of competition, the atmosphere in Xingluo City was completely ignited, and the enthusiasm of the audience was at an all-time high, with people queuing up late every night. Although Xingluo Square is spacious, its capacity is ultimately limited and cannot fully meet the demand of the public; if you arrive late, you might not even be able to buy a ticket.

In this respect, the core disciples of Shrek Academy who came to watch the matches, such as Lan Susu, were much better off. With the prestige of Shrek Academy and the connections with Dai Huabin and Duke White Tiger, it was not a problem for them to secretly intercept a few tickets. They were able to go in and watch the matches live every day.

In the opening match of the round-robin tournament, Shrek Academy, as the top academy on the continent, has already been announced by the Star Luo Empire to be the first to appear in the group stage. Meanwhile, the hot topic surrounding Huo Yuhao has been brewing for days, becoming the talk of the town. Everyone is debating how old this young man really is and what his Soul Master level is.
In the round-robin stage, after the brutal elimination of the first round, the remaining teams will be stronger, making the matches even more exciting. Facing stronger opponents, will Huo Yuhao be able to defeat them in one move as he did in the first match? This is the shared expectation of all viewers.

Today is the fourth day of the competition.

Early in the morning, the shouts of the audience echoed throughout Star Luo Square. The reason was simple: they could no longer contain their excitement and wanted to see if Shrek Academy could continue to surprise them. Even His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, who only occasionally came to watch from the city walls, ascended the city walls early this morning to wait patiently, giving Shrek Academy a great deal of face.

A little behind him, Duke White Tiger, with a complicated expression, was also watching all of this.

The weather wasn't great today; it was gloomy and somewhat oppressive. The clouds in the sky weren't dark, but they just wouldn't let the sun show its face. Fortunately, the air was still quite fresh, and it didn't rain.

The start of the round-robin tournament also means the opening of the players' rest area. Today's matches are only the first round of the round-robin, with four of the eight participating teams playing. However, all sixty-seven teams that advanced from the knockout stage are sitting in the rest area without exception.

This situation has long been a common practice in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. They came to watch the competition, or more accurately, they came to watch Shrek Academy's competition, especially to see Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy, who was obviously younger and had instantly killed the entire opposing team without even releasing his martial soul!
Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy after all, possessing overwhelming strength, which makes every academy subconsciously regard it as a target, while also deeply respecting it. This is true even for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

When the dark green competition uniforms appeared in the entrance passage of the participating academies, the entire Star Luo Square erupted in cheers, with shouts of "Shrek!" coming from the direction closest to the entrance passage.

Huo Yuhao was the only exception. Dressed in all black, he led the way, his expression still cold and indifferent, as if the competition and cheers held no appeal for him. Or perhaps he was certain of victory, and since the outcome was already decided, what was there to be excited about?
Shrek Academy's lounge area is located at the northernmost point, closest to the imperial city walls, and is significantly larger than those of other academies. The entire area boasts twenty comfortable sofas and dedicated waiters. Food, fruit, and drinks are readily available on the nearby tables; if a large screen were added, it could practically be an open-air cinema.

The treatment in other academies is actually similar, but there are no waiters. The key difference is that the rest area is much smaller than that of Shrek Academy. Each rest area only has seven seats, which are provided for the regular team members. The reserve team or substitutes can only stand at the back.

At this point, the host was already warming up the atmosphere, first announcing the list of colleges that had passed the first round of the competition, and then introducing the group assignments.

Just as Wang Yan had predicted, only eight academy teams participated in Shrek Academy's group, making Shrek Academy the undisputed favorite. Overshadowed by Shrek Academy's brilliance, the other academies paled in comparison. After all, Huo Yuhao's first match, with his "one man, one strike, one roar, and seven opponents lying on the ground," was incredibly impressive! Besides the rest area for the participating teams, there were also waiting areas on either side of the massive competition stage, specifically for the academy teams currently competing.

After a series of rambling remarks aimed at stirring up the audience's emotions, the host shouted in the most impassioned voice: "Next, please welcome the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent, and their opponents, the Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy team of the Star Luo Empire, to the waiting area. At the same time, please invite the captains of both teams to come to the stage to confirm their competition format."

The difference is evident even in the descriptions of the two academies. Shrek Academy never includes the name of the country before its name, unlike other academies. This is because no country dares to claim ownership of Shrek Academy, not even the Heavenly Soul Empire, where Shrek Academy is located.

Shrek Academy has its own Shrek City, whose status has long reached a level that any country must respect.

Compared to Shrek Academy, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is also powerful, its foundation is far weaker. Therefore, they can only compete against Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament to motivate themselves to improve.

To ensure the transparency and fairness of the competition, the format of each match in the round-robin stage is determined by a live draw.

Upon hearing the referee's introduction, Huo Yuhao calmly stood up and slowly walked towards the stage.

The moment Huo Yuhao stood up, the entire arena fell silent.

"Da da da."

The steady, rhythmic footsteps rang out again, exactly like the sound Huo Yuhao made before his move in the elimination rounds, instantly pulling everyone back to that breathtaking memory.

The captain of Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy was a burly man, almost as tall as He Caitou, with short blond hair. Beneath his white school uniform, the outline of his massive muscles was faintly visible. Looking at the cold-eyed boy opposite him and hearing the footsteps approaching, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately felt an invisible pressure.

He had a strange feeling that these weren't footsteps, but rather death knells aimed at their team!
