Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 44 has some strength, but not much.

The Shrek team's school uniforms were so bizarre that they attracted disdainful looks from everyone as soon as they appeared, forcing them to hide in an inconspicuous corner.

Tang San's gaze swept around the room and finally landed on the Tianshui Girls' Group.

Xiao Wu asked:

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Ma Hongjun grinned wickedly and teased:

"What else is there to look at? Beautiful women, of course! Third Brother's a man too, it's hard not to like that, right?"

Tang San remained focused, as if he hadn't heard Ma Hongjun's teasing.

Dai Mubai asked:

"What's wrong, mistress?"

"It's him. The mysterious boy who achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the Soto Grand Arena has finally appeared."

Following Tang San's gaze, everyone immediately spotted Xiao Han, who stood out prominently among the Tianshui girl group.

Xiao Han chatted happily with Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and others.

Tang San said:

"The team wearing cyan uniforms should be Shenfeng Academy, and the team wearing red uniforms should be Chihuo Academy. I heard from the teacher that those three elemental academies are all established academies with considerable strength. In the three previous Soul Master Competitions, they all entered the finals as the top five teams in the Tiandou Division."

Ma Hongjun disagreed, saying:

"Forget about the Elemental Academy, nothing can shake our determination to win the championship! Shrek Academy will prevail!"

"Yes, Shrek will win!"

Oscar echoed.

Tang San frowned, not daring to be careless.

"Xiao Han's second spirit ring has reached the thousand-year level, and he also has a teammate with the top-level beast spirit Ice Phoenix. The team has control, strong attack, agility attack and support spirit masters. They are not easy to deal with. We must not underestimate them."

Dai Mubai nodded.

"Xiao San is right. We'll find out their true strength once the competition officially starts."

~~~~~~~

Lin Zhiruo joined the group.

"I've already registered you all. The opening ceremony is about to begin, so get ready to enter. Xiaohan and Bing'er, you two lead everyone in."

"it is good."

"Xiao Han, in the previous three Soul Master Competitions, our Tianshui Academy has never had a male team member. Your appearance later will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention. Be mentally prepared in advance."

"Mom, I'm very strong inside, so please don't worry about me."

"Yes, Dean Lin. Our junior brother is so handsome, he's not afraid of any strange looks at all."

Dean Lin smiled and nodded, then left.

Soon, the competition staff began organizing the teams from each college to enter the venue.

As Xiao Han walked through the entrance passage, he could already hear the deafening shouts.

A huge, open square came into view, surrounded by cheering spectators.

The diameter of this field is over 150 meters.

Directly in front of the central area is a dais with a gold background.

Behind the dais was the VIP area, where the most prestigious and influential people in the Heaven Dou Empire were seated.

Each college was introduced by a master of ceremonies on the stage as they entered.

The colleges that entered first had already formed their formations in the center of the field.

Following closely behind the Kamikaze and Blazing Fire teams, the Skywater team also entered the arena.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu walked at the front of the group, while Xiao Han walked alone at the back.

The appearance of the Tianshui team immediately attracted everyone's attention, and an even bigger commotion erupted from the audience.

The emcee introduced:

"Next up is the team from Tianshui Academy. Unlike the teams from the previous three years, this year's team from Tianshui Academy includes a male member. This male member must possess exceptional skills to have been admitted to Tianshui Academy through this special admission process. Let's look forward to their performance."

Xiao Han looked up at the VIP seats and immediately spotted Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, sitting in the second row.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was also looking at Xiao Han.

Their eyes met, and Xiao Han smiled slightly at her and nodded gently.

There were only three people sitting in the first row in front of Xue Qinghe.

Their identities are not difficult to discern from their clothing and appearance.

The one in the middle is Emperor Xueye, the one on the left is Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, and the one on the right is Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The least favored Shrek team made their grand finale appearance.

Their appearance immediately drew laughter from the audience.

"This team is the most bizarre in this Soul Master Competition. They actually used poop green as their team uniform color. The dean must have had his head slammed in a door."

"What a bunch of toads! They dare to participate in the Soul Master Competition like this?"

Tang San and his group entered the venue, enduring the jeers of the audience.

The emcee introduced:

"The last team to enter is the Shrek Academy team. They're dressed in brightly colored costumes and brimming with confidence. Their slogan is: 'The champion with no rivals.' Very clever! We wish them the best of luck in the competition."

As soon as the emcee finished speaking, another burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

Subsequently, Emperor Xueye delivered his opening declaration.

Following that, Ning Fengzhi also delivered a speech.

The master of ceremonies asked:

"Sect Leader Ning, there are a total of twenty-eight teams participating in the Heaven Dou City regional qualifiers. Which team do you think has the best chance?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly.

"Besides the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 1, which entered the finals as a seeded team, I also have high hopes for another team. I think they can not only enter the finals, but may even win the championship of this Soul Master Tournament."

"Oh? I wonder which team Sect Leader Ning thinks so highly of?"

"I cannot reveal the answer at this time. However, I believe that the final champion of this competition will definitely belong to the Heaven Dou Empire."

Ning Fengzhi's words sparked heated discussions among the audience, and even the trainees on the field became restless.

Everyone is speculating which team he was referring to.

Only Xiao Han knew that he was referring to Shrek Academy.

Xiao Han grinned, thinking to himself: Ning Fengzhi, you've misjudged him.

Next, Salas conducted the draw for the first round of qualifiers.

According to the rules of the qualifiers, each team will play against the other 27 teams, and the top five teams with the best results will advance to the knockout stage and the finals.

The Tianshui team's first-round opponent is the relatively weak Cangnan Academy, and the match will be held tomorrow.

After today's opening ceremony, there will only be one exhibition match, with the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy facing their first opponent, Shrek Academy.

All participating colleges left the venue.

Xiao Han and his group arrived at the viewing area specially prepared for the participants.

Shui Bing'er asked:

"Xiao Han, I don't know which team Sect Master Ning was referring to, but it's definitely not us. A team that he favors must have some strength."

Xiao Han smiled dismissively.

"The team he's talking about should be playing soon."

"Really? Could it be the Royal Academy's second team? They don't seem to have that kind of strength."

"No! It's more likely to be Team Shrek."

Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised.

"No way? Those people from Shrek Academy look really weird, they don't seem like Soul Masters at all."

"They really are a bunch of clowns. However, a few of them have some skill, but not many."
