Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 154: Contestants Enter the Arena

As the sun rose high in the sky, contestants and spectators alike arrived at the Grand Arena.

Speaking of the Soul Arena, it is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

The Soul Arena was jointly created by eight reclusive families who possessed Soul Master level experts.

Its influence is so vast that it extends throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

The Soul Arena is an absolutely neutral force and does not participate in any disputes on the Douluo Continent.

This is why, in the later stages, the Spirit Hall attacked all the major forces in the Douluo Continent, but the Spirit Arena remained unscathed.

At this moment, in the VIP section.

Emperor Xueye sat at the head of the VIP section, while Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, sat to his right.

This position originally belonged to Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, but because Zhong Li has arrived, the position must be rearranged.

According to the principle of left being superior to right, Ning Fengzhi is located on the right, so Salas is naturally not on the left.

Sitting here are Zhongli and Paimeng.

Salas had some reservations about the seating arrangement.

Of course, he didn't have a problem with Zhong Li, but rather with Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi.

With Zhongli sitting in this position, not only would he not dare to object, but even if Pope Bibi Dong or the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall came, they might not necessarily object.

As a mere Platinum Bishop and a Contra player, he dared not utter the slightest objection.

As for why Ning Fengzhi had a problem with Xue Ye, it was because, given his status, position, and the special nature of representing the Spirit Hall, he could only sit in the second row!

If he only represented himself, he wouldn't have criticized Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi today. But he also represented the Spirit Hall!

Wouldn't you call this a lack of respect for and an insult to the Spirit Hall?

Salas's face darkened, but he couldn't afford to lash out on the spot.

I've heard that His Majesty the God of War is particularly concerned with "etiquette," so I shouldn't act rashly and end up offending him instead of getting anything in return.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin sat to the right of Emperor Xueye. They glanced at Salas, a look of disdain flashing in their eyes, but said nothing more.

If Zhongli hadn't come, they wouldn't be sitting in these positions, but how can there be so many "what ifs" in this world?

Zhong Li not only came, but he also brought the acting sect leader of the Body Sect with him!

The VIP section was quite a scene of turmoil simply because of the seating arrangement, making it even more interesting than the Soul Battle.

Zhong Li sipped his tea, observing the atmosphere and glancing occasionally at the contestants' rest area, seemingly unconcerned about the rivalry among the others.

Pai's cheeks were bulging, and in front of her were many delicacies, which "Xue Qinghe" had specially prepared for her.

If it weren't for this little guy, Zhong Li might not have come to watch the qualifiers.

"Delicious, delicious..."

Everyone ignored Paimon, who was eating.

In this situation, perhaps only this little guy has the "privilege".

In the rest area, most of the contestants' attention was focused on their opponents around them.

Of course, a few people focused their attention on the VIP seats.

How wonderful it would be if they could reach that position someday!

After the contestants arrive at the rest area, there is another "presentation" segment, which is the contestants' entrance.

When the players enter, the host will give a brief introduction to the team's basic information, which can be considered as a popular science lesson for the audience.

After all, there are a total of 29 teams participating in the qualifiers!

If we include the Royal Fighting Team 1, which was promoted through special admissions, then there are a total of thirty teams.

"Please welcome Royal Fighting Team Two to the stage..."

"Please welcome the Kamikaze Squadron..."

I don't know if it's because of the protagonist's luck, but the host was quite normal when introducing other teams.

But when Shrek Academy was introduced, even the host was taken aback.

This...this school uniform is really... indescribable!

Is it really necessary for a prestigious advanced Soul Master academy to dress like this?

Are they just attention-seeking clowns, or are they truly clowns?

The host seemed to miss this point.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years as a host.

"Huh~"

Faced with the audience's disdainful jeers, the Shrek members felt their faces burning and their fists clenched involuntarily.

They couldn't do anything about it; what could they do when Dean Flander had such aesthetic taste?

The Shrek Academy uniform is fine in terms of style; it's actually quite trendy. The only problem is the color…

"Damn it, you'll regret this!"

Dai Mubai's face flushed slightly, clearly showing his rising anger, yet he was helpless.

The school uniform is this color, fine, but it also has lots of little "GG" characters on it...

"Don't be angry, everyone. We'll use our strength to give them a good slap in the face!"

Tang San said with a gloomy expression.

Being looked down upon?

Then prove yourself with your abilities!

Why are they looked down upon?

It should be noted that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is held once every five years, and it is considered the most coveted and sacred competition for all young soul masters on the Douluo Continent.

Shrek Academy could have easily avoided this, but they insisted on saying no!

With that green school uniform and those messy little guys, isn't it normal to be looked down upon?

Everyone else is dressed to the nines when they go out.

He insists on being different from others, and then blames others for looking down on him...

"That's right, that's right!"

Ma Hongjun echoed, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where Tianshui Academy had left.

Those girls are really beautiful!

Many people believe that Ma Hongjun's personality is due to being controlled by evil fire.

Actually, that's not the case. In the original timeline, after Ma Hongjun consumed the immortal herb and resolved the hidden danger of the evil fire, his personality remained largely unchanged!

Things will remain the same as before.

It's truly mind-blowing that Tang San would introduce his cousin to someone like that!

Brotherhood aside, Ma Hongjun has this kind of personality and past record, yet Tang San still did it.

It's easy to imagine that he...

Thinking about it carefully, this is normal. After all, Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit in human form. During this period, there are countless Soft Bone Rabbit offspring in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After Shrek Academy and their group left the stage, the host continued, "Next, please welcome the Empire's seed team, Royal Fighting Team One!"

"Many people are probably unfamiliar with Team Royal Fighting..."

Upon hearing this, the audience rolled their eyes.

strangeness?

It does look somewhat unfamiliar!

But who hasn't heard of the Royal Fighting Team!

That's a team made up of a bunch of lunatics.

Each member of this group is more powerful than the last.

As Chi Yu, Du Siji, and others entered, the host continued, "Leading the way is none other than Chi Yu, captain of the Royal Fighting Team One, Xiao Feilian!"

"She is not only the captain of the Royal Fighting Team One, but also the Holy Maiden of the Body Sect, and a disciple of the three faculty members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!"

"At less than sixteen years old, he broke the record for the youngest Soul King in history!"
