Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 60 The competition begins

Before Lin Dong could answer, Jing Hongchen nodded and said softly:

"I agree with what Lin Dong said. We, Sun Moon and the three original countries, are already in opposition. Moreover, Shrek claims to remain neutral, but it is not impossible that they are doing something behind the scenes. Everyone should try to reduce going out."

"Yes!"

Ma Rulong suddenly sighed and said with some regret:
"Alas, after preparing for so long, I still don't have a chance to defeat Shrek in his full form. What a pity."

Lin Dong chuckled and said, "There's nothing to regret. Winning is winning. Their accident has nothing to do with us. If we really want to do as Meng Hongchen said, we will also send the pre-selected players to play."

Ma Rulong frowned with some dissatisfaction after hearing this:
"You still have a chance to defeat Shrek in the next round, but for the rest of us, we only have this one chance due to age restrictions. I don't quite agree with this plan."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and said, "Let's not rush to discuss this issue. After all, Shrek's purpose is not yet clear. Let's stick to the original plan. If we don't encounter Shrek, we won't go to Lin Dong."

Lin Dong nodded and changed the subject, "By the way, Dean, can you let me see the list of participants for this competition?"

Taking the list from Jing Hongchen, Lin Dong stared at a name on the list, a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"You're just a three-ring soul master? In that case, let's start with you."

Everyone looked at the grim smile on his face, and Meng Hongchen couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with you, Lin Dong? There won't be the opponent you said you must encounter here, right?"

Lin Dong did not speak, but nodded lightly. Even though he had suppressed the emotions on his face, everyone still noticed the coldness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen patted his shoulder and said solemnly:

"You are now the focus of the academy's training. Do whatever you want to do. The academy will always stand by you."

Lin Dong listened to these familiar words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled:
"Thank you, Dean. He doesn't need the academy to do anything."

Jing Hongchen nodded, as if he had thought of something and reminded:

"However, this is a competition, don't be too anxious. After all, there are referees here, and they won't allow anyone to die easily. If things don't work out, wait for another opportunity?"

"Don't worry, Dean. Since the rules of the competition prohibit killing, and we are in someone else's territory, I will try my best to restrain myself and not embarrass the academy. However, if I can't help myself, I can only apologize to everyone."

Looking at Lin Dong's cold eyes, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Zhou Xinghao said loudly:

"Brother Dong, the dean just said that. Anyway, our relationship with them is like that. We all support you. Fight them!"

"Yes, Shrek has suppressed us for so many years. You can do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, we will all take responsibility for you."

Seeing Lin Xi's statement, Mika looked at Lin Dong and nodded faintly, saying with a smile:

"Well, you helped me and Grandpa, and I haven't had the chance to repay you. This is the chance."

Xiao Hongchen puffed out his chest somewhat proudly: "That's right, with this genius here, I wonder what those Shrek bastards can do to you!"

Looking at them like this, Jing Hongchen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"What are you doing? I didn't stop Lin Dong. What I mean is that with the referee here, maybe we can't do it on the court. How about we do it off the court?" Lin Dong said.

Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Lin Dong didn't expect that he would be willing to go to such an extent for him. He couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Okay everyone, I appreciate your kindness. I know my limits, so don't worry too much."

After hearing his words, everyone relaxed a little. Meng Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh... That's good. You don't know how scary your expression was just now. I was afraid that you would be stopped by the referee and would fight with the referee."

Lin Dong was speechless after hearing this: "Is it that exaggerated? I have never done such a thing."

Seeing everyone's strange looks, Lin Dong touched his nose and coughed lightly:
"Uh, let's not talk about this, let's go back to the room and rest."

Seeing his rare embarrassment, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed. In the end, Jing Hongchen still smoothed things over for Lin Dong and clapped his hands:

"Alright everyone, let's just leave it at that for now. We'll still have the regular players on the field tomorrow and make it all the way through the qualifiers first."

"Yes!"

Not long after everyone returned to their rooms, a figure sneaked into Lin Dong's room. Seeing Jing Hongchen's anxious expression, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile and said, "Dean, just speak frankly."

"Well, I'll be frank. I'm the only one leading the team in this competition. I heard that the mad bull is leading the Shrek team. Plus, we're in the Xing Luo Empire. Give me a definite answer so I can make some preparations."

"Don't worry, Dean. There's no need to be so nervous. I know my limits. If the referee stops me, I can only look for other opportunities. I won't embarrass you."

Jing Hongchen's eyes were hesitant, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said:

"Then I'll be honest with you. If there's a conflict, I can only contain the mad bull. If you want to make a big move, I'll call for help right now."

"No need, Dean. I really know my limits and shouldn't make such a big fuss."

Looking at his calm eyes, Jing Hongchen finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder:

"In that case, I won't say any more. Don't think you can handle this alone. If you dare to say anything about quitting the academy, I will never forgive you."

Lin Dong felt a little warm in his heart and nodded with a smile: "I understand, Dean, you should go to bed early."

Looking at Jing Hongchen's departing back, Lin Dong smiled and gently touched the inner armor on his chest:

"I hope these bastards won't go too far, otherwise, I don't know what I will do..."

Early morning, around Xingluo Square.

All streets were blocked by fully armed soldiers, especially near the Star King Hotel, where thousands of soldiers were stationed.

The streets leading from here to Xingluo Square have been completely under martial law, and only the team members from each academy who walked out of the Star Emperor Hotel can pass.

The competition stage for the Fighting Spirit Competition was not located in the center of Xingluo Square, but in front of the main gate of the Imperial City.

In this way, Emperor Xingluo and his civil and military officials could watch the battle directly from the top of the imperial city, which not only provided the best view but also ensured safety.

There are a total of 108 metal pillars around the competition stage. This is a kind of linked protective soul guide with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

After the competition begins, one hundred and eight spirit masters will be in charge of protecting the competition stage. These metal pillars can prevent any spirit skills from leaking out to avoid harming innocent people.

The leading teachers from each academy arrived at the imperial city early in the morning and drew lots with the registration plates they received. The Xingluo Empire had responsible officials who were specifically responsible for counting the draw results.

Xu Jiawei, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the audience with complicated eyes, watching the teams entering the competition channel one after another, and murmured in a low voice:
"I'm afraid this competition is going to be unfair..."
