Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 106: The Opening of the Competition, the Actions of the Four Great Empires

Early in the morning, the sun rises.

All streets surrounding Xingluo Square were blocked, especially the area around the Xinghuang Hotel, which was under complete martial law. Only teams from the various colleges who had left the hotel were allowed to pass.

It's an exclusive channel.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Fighting Spirit Competition.

Early in the morning, the teachers from various colleges had already arrived in the Imperial City for the drawing ceremony.

At this point, the draw ceremony had concluded, and they were just waiting for the Xingluo Empire to announce the order of the competition.

It was not until around nine o'clock in the morning that the gate of the Fighting Spirit Arena slowly opened, and many people who had bought tickets immediately filed in.

On the top of the imperial city, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe and a purple-gold crown stood with his hands behind his back. Beside him stood a beautiful woman in palace attire, respectfully accompanying him. Behind the beautiful woman was the stunningly beautiful blonde girl who had come to see Yuwen Tuo earlier.

One of these two people is the current queen of Xingluo, and the other is Princess Xu Jiujiu. She is the youngest sister of Emperor Xu Jiawei, ranking ninth. She is both the oldest and ninth sister, and the captain of the current Xingluo National Academy team.

Following them were the civil and military officials of the Xingluo Empire.

"Your Majesty." An old man in a bright red python robe stepped forward quickly and came to the side of the Star Luo Emperor and saluted respectfully. It was obvious that the old man had an extremely noble status. After all, not everyone was qualified to wear a python robe.

"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?" Xu Jiawei asked with a smile.

The Prime Minister replied respectfully, "Everything has been arranged. Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded: "Okay, pass on my order, the opening ceremony of the Continental Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition begins now."

"Yes." The Prime Minister took a few steps back and turned around to convey His Majesty's instructions.

Xu Jiawei looked at the beautiful woman beside him and said, "Queen, Jiumei, the Fighting Spirit Competition is the most important event in the continent. I really miss my youth! If it weren't for the many rules of the royal family, my father would have worried that something might happen to me in the competition and not allowed me to participate. Otherwise, I really wanted to compete with the geniuses of various major countries."

The Queen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you have always had the heart of a soul master."

"Don't worry, my royal brother. This time, Jiujiu will definitely lead our Xingluo National Academy to achieve good results." Although Xu Jiujiu is a very confident person, with Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy in front of her, she dare not rashly boast that she can win the championship. She can only say that she will try her best to ensure a good result.

For example, she is still somewhat confident about reaching the quarterfinals or the semifinals.

"By the way, Jiumei, that child..." The queen looked at Xu Jiujiu hesitantly, not knowing whether she should ask.

She knew that she had seen the child not long ago, and she also knew that for Xing Luo, the existence of the child was actually a shame.

Therefore, when they thought that the child was dead, they were not very sad, but felt relieved instead.

But now that he has "come back from the dead", he doesn't know what to do.

"It's not just me. People from the Sun-Moon Empire and the Douling Empire have also come into contact with him." Xu Jiujiu said, "That child has a very strange personality. He's so indifferent that he doesn't seem like a child, as if he doesn't care about anything. It's a pity, there are some things he can't ignore. This child's background is complicated enough to cause unrest on the continent."

"A-choo!" At the Di'ao College of Tianhun Royal Academy, the big man Jiang Peng couldn't help but sneeze.

With his body stronger than that of a cow, theoretically, it should be impossible for him to get sick.

The younger brother hurriedly asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know. I suddenly felt a sense of isolation and being excluded," said Jiang Peng.

"Boss, His Majesty once said that you are good in every way except that you are too simple-minded and straightforward. There must be some conspiracy or intrigue among those other countries, but don't worry. His Majesty also said that fools have their own luck. Maybe we can win without doing anything." The younger brother comforted him.

"Yeah, that's true!" Jiang Peng nodded, then suddenly realized something was wrong and slapped his younger brother on the head. "You bastard, who are you calling stupid? I'm just being foolish!"

"Haha, Brother Jiang, you are still so funny."

Suddenly, a laugh was heard from the darkness, and a man and a woman walked out from behind Jiang Peng.

The two men seemed about the same age as Xiao Hongchen and the others, but the man was unusually tall, probably close to two meters, with broad shoulders and a broad back, and bulging muscles all over his body. He had long brown-red hair parted in the middle. While not particularly handsome, he gave people a sense of security. It was him who had just spoken.

The woman had silver hair that flowed down her back, and she was also very beautiful, though she looked quite fragile, with a sparkle in her beautiful big eyes.

Jiang Peng turned around and said, "Oh, you guys came so quickly, and you two actually came here in person. It just so happens that today is the day the competition starts. You will be able to confirm whether the information is true or not right away."

The man smiled and said, "It's because Vina is being naughty. His Majesty is worried that she might get hurt, so he won't let her participate in this year's Fighting Spirit Tournament. I think there's no danger this time, I'm just confirming the information, so I asked His Majesty for permission to bring her over to take a look."

This man is obviously pursuing Vina, and Vina is willing to come with him, which shows that she does not reject his pursuit. In addition, with the intentional matchmaking of the elders of both sides, the success rate is still quite high.

At this time, Xu Jiawei stood on the highest platform and said in a loud voice, "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the most important event in our Douluo Continent, held every five years. I am very pleased that this year's competition is held in Xingluo. On behalf of Xingluo, I welcome the representatives from various academies who have come from afar. I hope that you will demonstrate your strength and fight fair and just matches in the next month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the people in the audience bowed again.

Xu Jiawei also smiled and gestured towards his people, then loudly announced, "Alright, now, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition officially begins!"

"Long live, long live, long live!" The people shouted in unison, instantly stimulating the atmosphere of the entire venue.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of the salute rang out continuously. After one hundred and eight times, the Xingluo Square had turned into a sea of excitement.

Xu Jiawei led all the civil and military officials to step back slightly. The chairs had been arranged. He, the queen, and the princess took the seats and waved to the prime minister of the empire next to them.

The Prime Minister immediately understood and ordered the first game of the competition to begin immediately.

"Brother Jiang, where is the child who possesses the Spirit Eyes martial soul as mentioned in the intelligence? Before we came, the sect leader told us that any child who possesses the Body Martial Soul is a child of our Body Sect, and we must take him back." Vina said gently.

"He's right there. He's from Shrek. Look, he's here!" Jiang Peng pointed to the fighting arena.
