Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 44 The Competition Begins

"kneel???"

"what?"

An overwhelming spiritual pressure instantly forced the soldier to his knees, kneeling on the ground in a doggy-like position!

Chen Qiye wore a black bamboo hat, making it impossible to see his expression.

"I won't kneel to heaven or earth. Aside from my parents, even a god can't make me kneel!!"

Instantly, all eyes in the room turned to Chen Qiye.

Just as the Star Luo Emperor was about to speak, Wang Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is from Shrek Academy."

"Hmph, even if you are Shrek, you can't just stand around in the fog like this," Xu Jiujiu said as he stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, if it were an ordinary Shrek Academy academy that offended you, it would indeed be our fault. But this is no ordinary academy; it is the personal disciple of the current Sea God Pavilion Master..."

"What's so great about the Sea God Pavilion Master...?"

"Jiujiu." Emperor Xingluo stopped, signaling Xu Jiujiu to stop.

"Since you are the Sect Master's personal disciple, whether I bow or not is irrelevant; consider it me giving the Sect Master face!"

"Chen Qiye, aren't you coming down yet???"

"Yes."

Chen Qiye jumped down from the stands, shaking off his bamboo hat and revealing a cool, aloof face with blood-red eyes.

The only word that came to mind was whether she was handsome or beautiful; it was beyond words.

And so Chen Qiye rose to the leadership position of Shrek Academy.

Emperor Xingluo gave Chen Qiye a meaningful look. He didn't say anything, nor did he dare to, simply because Chen Qiye was a disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Chen Qiye's actions worried Wang Yan. Disrespect for an emperor was always a serious crime! But what could he do? He was the disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

"All of you may rise."

The Star Luo Empire Emperor's voice was amplified and amplified by the soul-guided amplification device. The people rose to their feet, and the students from the participating academies straightened their backs. All eyes were fixed on the city walls directly ahead.

The emperor didn't ramble on with unnecessary words. After a simple sentence, he announced the official start of the competition. The first match was about to begin after the opening ceremony.

"According to the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, the first round will be an elimination tournament. A total of 133 advanced soul master and soul master academies have registered for this tournament. After a draw, one academy will receive a bye in the first round. A total of 66 matches will be played. The first round is an elimination tournament, and the loser will be immediately eliminated from the tournament."

"Now, the first match will begin immediately. The two teams are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Douling Empire, and the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent, with countless honors and having won almost every major competition in the past thousand years!"

The moment the announcer made the announcement, the atmosphere at Starry Sky Square erupted into a frenzy. "Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"

Looking at this amazing spectacle, Chen Qiye had to acknowledge Shrek Academy's strength. Without the support of its power, even Shrek Academy could not have achieved such glorious glory.

However, this supreme glory also became a shackle, forcing everyone to maintain it. Because of this glory, they were blinded and did not pay attention to the development of the continent.

If Shrek Academy had focused on soul tools from the moment the three great empires clashed with the Sun Moon Empire, Chen Qiye believed that Shrek Academy's soul tool department would not be in its current state of decline.

As shouts of "Shrek Academy!" echoed almost every corner of the square, all the Shrek Academy reserve team members present, except for Chen Qiye, were dumbfounded.

"What's the panic? This is Shrek's glory. They're cheering for us, shouldn't we make a big splash?"

"What's the panic? This is Shrek's glory. They're cheering for us, shouldn't we make a big splash?"

"Qi Ye is right. So, as we said before, I'll leave the first match to you all!" Bei Bei nodded, solemnly instructing everyone that Chen Qi Ye would not be playing in the first match; he would be watching a good show.

Just then, the host's voice rang out: "Let's first invite the team members from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to the stage."

In the back of the players' area, a group of pale-faced young players walked out; their faces were ashen.

The most inhumane rule is that the first game of the tournament cannot be surrendered unless absolutely necessary! Otherwise, the game wouldn't even start, and the opposing team would probably just surrender!

At this moment, the boys were devastated. This was a complete disaster! A one-day elimination round for them—their luck was absolutely out of this world! They were truly unlucky!

As they walked out of the contestants' area, they even seemed a little unsteady on their feet, and Chen Qiye noticed that some of their calves were trembling! "Alright, the team from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy has entered the arena. At this moment of great anticipation, let us now welcome the number one academy on the continent, the true king of academies, the Shrek Academy team!!!"

The host's loud voice pierced the clouds, and the Star Luo Square instantly turned into a sea of ​​cheers for Shrek Academy. Even the Star Luo Emperor, who was sitting on the city wall watching the battle, couldn't help but stand up, his face showing excitement.

After all the formalities were over, Chen Qiye slowly returned to the stands.

Chen Qiye now possesses his own unique aloofness; in short, he is a stranger in a strange land.

Chen Qiye wasn't in the mood to watch the first battle, so he dragged himself to where Wang Yan was.

Wang Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Chen Qiye, do we really have a chance of winning this time?"

In fact, when Elder Xuan told him before he left that he was just as shocked when he learned that Chen Qiye was a disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

"Who knows? Honor is a belief, but also a shackle. It can make a person, a family, or even a sect successful, but it can also bring them harm."

"What the world calls honor is, for the person who receives it, a double-edged sword. If used well, this sword can be incredibly sharp; if it goes wrong, it will become an inescapable and deadly blade..."

The first match proceeded as scheduled, and as the seven people walked at the forefront, the arena erupted in cheers like a tsunami once again.

Shrek's brilliance truly lives up to its reputation!

With both sides in position, the referee announced in a deep voice, "First round, elimination tournament, team battle. Both sides may use most soul tools in the competition. However, if one side concedes during the battle, the other side may not continue attacking. Soul masters may not use high-damage equipment such as fixed soul tools in combat. Do you all understand?"

The referee, standing in the center of the arena, slowly raised his right hand. At that moment, the Xingluo Square, with its hundreds of thousands of people, fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the vast playing field.

One hundred and eight metal pillars simultaneously shone brightly, and instantly, beams of white light shot into the sky, tracing arcs as they converged in the air. They ultimately gathered twenty meters above the arena.

When all 108 beams of light converged, a white light curtain descended, enveloping the entire arena. The protective shield was complete. This also meant that the first match of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was about to begin.
