Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 54 Is this all you show me?
Xingluo Plaza.

Although the gate was not open, the people of Xingluo had already lined up early. As everyone knows, the first round of the competition has always been led by the previous champion.

It’s just that Shrek Academy has been defending the number one title for ten thousand years. In the subconscious of the people, the concepts of champion and Shrek have long been transformed, and it has evolved into the saying that Shrek equals champion.

When the bronze bell in the square was rung, the gate was slowly opened and the scene suddenly fell into chaos. Most of the spectators were civilians without soul power.

However, the yearning for soul masters is ingrained in the people of Douluo Continent, which has fostered the development of soul master competitions, from the most ordinary soul fighting arenas to the hall-level continent-wide soul fighting competitions.

A seat in the back row with the worst view costs two gold soul coins, not to mention the seats in the front row with excellent views, which cost hundreds of gold soul coins.

It is said that the money of ordinary people is the easiest to make. The annual tax revenue of Xingluo City is only 60 million gold soul coins, but the admission tickets alone can earn 2 million gold soul coins a day.

This is just the income from the first few days. After a few rounds, all those left will be strong academies, and the admission ticket price will increase again. This is the soul master's ability to make money.

There are a total of 133 colleges participating in the competition, but there are only 67 college rest areas, which means that half of the teams will be eliminated today.

In front of tens of thousands of people, even adults couldn't remain calm, let alone the seven children in the reserve team whose average age was thirteen.

Shrek Academy's dark green uniform is the easiest to identify. After all, no other academy would be stupid enough to use the same color uniform as Shrek Academy.

"Is that Shrek's student? Why do they look like little kids?"

"Such a young man has the ability to participate in the competition. Shrek really deserves to be the number one academy in the continent."

"Hey buddy, how about placing a bet and seeing how long it will take Shrek to win?"

"One minute? That's too much. I've watched three tournaments, and the first battle of each Shrek Academy match was..."

The people of Shrek Academy naturally bore the most attention and were subject to the most discussion.

The sounds from the audience reached everyone's ears, making them even more nervous. They knew their own business, and they didn't have the ability at all. They were just being forced into it.

Will it win?
In the original novel, Shrek Academy was extremely lucky. In the first round, the opponents were so frightened that they didn't even have the courage to resist. In the second round of individual competition, Xu Sanshi played three games before the opponent surrendered directly.

In the third game, he encountered an ice-attribute soul master, who was perfectly restrained by Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice. This was a very good start.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

When the auditorium was almost full, the sound of a loudspeaker soul guide came from above. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Emperor Xingluo had been standing on the high platform without them noticing.

"Long live your Majesty."

"So this is why the auditorium is so wide..."

The space on the left and right sides of the auditorium is very small, but the front and back are extremely wide, spacious enough to accommodate an adult lying down and rolling around.

Huo Yumiao was wondering why so much space was wasted before, but now he knows.

All the people stood up in unison, kowtowed and shouted "Long live the emperor". They were so uniform that it was hard not to wonder if they had rehearsed it in advance.

"It's nice to see such..."

Xu Jiawei's passionate speech lasted for a full quarter of an hour and it was obvious from the expressions on the faces of those who were not from the Xingluo Empire Academy that they changed from initial joy to confusion and even helplessness in the end.

As for the people of Xingluo and the students of the academy, they were extremely excited.

"I'm really impressed. How could you talk for so long?"

The reserve team had been feeling quite nervous, but after Xu Jiawei's speech, they were completely speechless. Wang Dong even complained directly. "Be careful if someone hears you, or you'll be charged with disrespect," Xu Sanshi said with a frivolous grin.

"I'm not from the Xingluo Empire, and their laws don't apply to me." Wang Dong looked arrogant. If the fighting power behind him was really revealed, even the emperor would have to put on a smile.

"Now, I declare that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun!"

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, the audience suddenly cheered. It was not known whether it was because the competition was about to begin or because the speech was finally over.

"Below is the matchup table for each of the major academies. Shrek Academy versus Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy..."

Of course, it was not the emperor who was responsible for reading out the battle list. The courtier next to him had a precise grasp of the timing and started announcing as soon as Xu Jiawei sat down.

Among the one hundred and thirty-three academies, there is bound to be one bye spot. Obviously, this lucky thing will not fall on other empires, and it was taken by an academy called Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy.

"Shrek! Shrek!"

In fact, when the courtier just read out the three words "Shrek", the people below were in an uproar and started to shout in unison for no apparent reason. No one could hear a single word of what was said afterwards.

Faced with this situation, the courtier was a little panicked and obviously didn't know how to deal with it. Xu Jiawei on the side frowned and gave him a dissatisfied look.

I was secretly thinking that whoever chose this person would be punished later.

"In the first elimination round, Shrek Academy will face Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Both teams, please come on stage."

Fortunately, no one paid attention to the flustered courtier, so he made a prompt decision and started the competition.

At this moment, the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy felt like the sky was falling. If they were to fight against Shrek, the number one soul master on the continent, would they win?
"Classmates, give it a try. It's not shameful to lose to Shrek." The teacher in charge of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy said in a tragic tone. He didn't expect that his luck would be so bad.

"Brothers, being able to compete against Shrek Academy means we can brag even if we lose. Cheer up!"

A young man in his twenties shouted in a deep voice. He was the captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Hearing this, the others suddenly woke up as if they had been enlightened. Yes! Others may not have a chance to fight against the number one Shrek in the continent!
It was visible to the naked eye that the students from Tianling's side suddenly became excited and walked towards the competition field with high spirits.

"In the first elimination round, both sides may use most of their soul guides. If one side concedes, the other side may not continue to attack. Both sides please retreat to the edge of the arena."

As the referee finished speaking, the two sides gradually distanced themselves from each other until they reached the edge of the arena.

"start!"

Following the referee's command, the seven players from both sides were possessed by their martial spirits at the same time. The scene before them caused a burst of exclamations from the audience.

"What's going on? Why is there still a student with two spirit rings?"

"What is Shrek Academy doing! We want to see Soul Kings and Soul Emperors!"

"I've taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this?"

"Shrek, I'll knock your mother!"
