What no one knew was that in the midst of the storm outside, many pairs of eyes were watching all this.
……
Looking at the group of people heading west from the Mingdou Mountains, an old woman floating in the air a thousand meters away said calmly, "Sui Xing, go back and inform His Majesty that the nobles in the southwest are in rebellion. I request that they be exterminated."
"As ordered."
Behind the old woman, an old man in his sixties nodded secretly. His title was Broken Star, his martial soul was the Light of Broken Star, and he was a level ninety-five Super Douluo.
I will change Zhang Lexuan to the female lead. Didn’t I take a leave yesterday? I thought about the subsequent plot of Zhang Lexuan, and thought of a plot that can make her and the male lead have an emotional connection. Of course, I’m not sure if this plot can be written well, but... anyway, let’s give it a try. We always have to try.
The master of the Xingluo Empire's Worship Hall was only mentioned in the original novel, but did not appear. It is very likely that he was forgotten by someone, just like Lin Huiqun and Old Song. Lin Huiqun is the master of the Jubao Pavilion. He appeared in the early stage, but this person disappeared in the later stage.
Chapter 151 Huo Yuhao: Take My Phoenix Meteor Shower
6700 words】
If you ask the people of Douluo Continent what the most grand event on this continent is, everyone will definitely give the same answer.
That is the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition held every five years.
Five years ago, it was held in the Douling Empire, and five years later, it has come to the thousand-year-old ancient city of Xingluo City.
The venue for the competition is on the Xingluo Square in front of the Xingluo Imperial City. This place covers an extremely large area and is also the most suitable place for the competition. This way, the audience also has a better viewing area.
When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines down from the sky, the ancient city gradually wakes up, and the mottled sunlight penetrates the leaves, bringing a warm breath.
The streets outside the Star King Hotel have been blocked by fully armed guards. No one is allowed to interfere and strict order is maintained.
The people looked at the weapons that were flashing with cold light. No one dared to disobey the orders, and they all went to Xingluo Square in an orderly manner.
The crowd was densely packed, estimated to be more than 200,000 people.
Of course, in order to allow His Majesty the Emperor to speak and have a better viewing experience, the competition stage was built in the square area near the imperial city gate.
The entire competition arena is one hundred meters long and wide, and outside the arena there are a total of one hundred and eight pillars that are over twenty meters high. These pillars are glowing with golden light, and some strange light patterns can be vaguely seen on them.
This is a protective soul guide specially prepared to ensure the safety of the audience. Next to each pillar stands a Soul Emperor-level soul master. Once the game begins, they will input soul power and use the soul power shields released by these pillars to prevent the soul power from overflowing when they touch.
At this time, the square was completely covered by sunlight. Surrounding the competition stage, the square was divided into many areas. The number of spectators in each area was limited. At the same time, there were a large number of soldiers to maintain entry and exit to avoid any trampling incidents.
The Imperial City is on the north side of the competition stage, and on the west side of the competition stage is the academy rest area specially prepared by the Star Luo Empire Competition Committee. There are about seventy rest areas, but obviously, seventy rest areas are not enough, and this is because the first round is a knockout round.
Anyway, half of the colleges will lose in the first round and go home, so there is no need to waste time preparing too many rest areas.
Team leaders and students from a total of 133 academies all stood outside the rest area. No academy entered the rest area, and only the winners of the first round were eligible to take a seat.
This situation also aroused the fighting spirit of each college. No one wanted to pack up and leave in the first round. That would be too embarrassing.
At a very early time, the team leaders of each college had already led their teams to complete the draw. Now they just had to wait for the audience to enter and the emperor to speak before the competition could begin.
All colleges are divided into many categories.
Some were dozing off collectively, basking in the sun with sleepy eyes, or chatting.
Some of them have excellent communication skills and get along very harmoniously with the surrounding colleges.
Some were provoking each other. You could tell at a glance that they were old rivals. They were thinking that if they met later they would beat the shit out of each other.
Some remained silent, but their sharp eyes were always staring at their opponents in their minds, wanting to bring them down from the altar.
The fourth category is naturally represented by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
Shrek Academy was in front of all the teams, and they were just behind Shrek Academy. Looking at this opponent who had defeated them many times over the past thousand years, they felt a growing desire to surpass the opponent.
Especially Xiao Hongchen, the arrogance in his eyes has turned into a strong desire to fight.
"The audience is entering."
Suddenly, a voice came from somewhere in the academy, attracting the attention of all the students. Outside the square, a large number of people began to gather towards the square. With the support of thousands of soldiers, each audience area was filled. Noisy sounds began to spread, and there was no longer the previous tranquility.
The students who were dozing off also woke up.
Seeing the huge number of spectators, most of the participating students became nervous, especially the students from the local academy of the Xing Luo Empire.
It's more embarrassing to lose the game at home.
If this gets back to my hometown, it will definitely be talked about for the rest of my life.
“There are too many people.”
Xiaoxiao became a little nervous again, muttering to herself that she was afraid she would be embarrassed if she went on stage.
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao saw through her thoughts at a glance and comforted her with a smile.
"No wonder every empire is willing to host a fighting spirit competition. I don't know how much the ticket fees alone will cost."
Wang Yan, as the deputy team leader, stood in front of the team and said with emotion.
"I heard that the tickets for the outermost areas require at least two gold soul coins, and the tickets for the seats closest to the competition stage cost thousands of gold soul coins."
Zhang Lexuan also joined in the conversation.
To be honest, she was quite sorry that Shrek City could not hold the Soul Fighting Competition. It was not because of lack of money, but it was a pity that such a grand event could not be held at home.
Looking at the audience that continued to pour in, Zhang Lexuan turned around and looked at everyone.
Seeing that the senior sister was about to speak, everyone looked over quickly.
Zhang Lexuan instructed, "We will most likely be the first to go on stage. Everyone will be looking at us, Shrek Academy. My requirement for you is that in the first match, you must finish the battle as quickly as possible and the process must amaze everyone."
"clear."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Shrek's actions also attracted a lot of people to watch. Looking at Shrek Academy, most of them were wary.
It took nearly an hour for the audience to enter the venue. With the entry of the last person, everything got down to business.
"quiet."
The majestic voice spread throughout the entire square with the help of the soul-amplifying device, and there seemed to be some soul power mixed in it. In an instant, the audience of more than 200,000 people at the scene collectively shut their mouths.
As the word "Silence" appeared, all the soldiers stood at attention and raised their spears high. A solemn and murderous atmosphere spread throughout the venue.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."
Another majestic voice was heard. Upon closer inspection, Dai Hao was standing next to the person who was shouting. Today, he was still wearing the solemn armor.
"Shh."
In an instant, more than 200,000 spectators knelt down collectively as if they had rehearsed it. The scene was extremely magnificent. The soldiers responsible for maintaining order knelt on one knee and lowered their heads slightly to show their obedience to the emperor.
As for the students, because the royal family had issued a special notice long ago, all academies did not need to kneel, they only needed to bow, which was also a respect for the emperor of the empire.
Above the imperial city, Xu Jiawei, wearing a dragon robe, led the queen, wearing a phoenix robe, to the podium.
Beside the two of them, there were four old men following, all of them were Titled Douluo-level masters.
As for the civil and military officials, they were far away from the podium.
Looking at the huge crowd of people prostrating themselves on the ground below the imperial city, Xu Jiawei spoke in a gentle tone: "Everyone, please stand up."
Soon, all the audience stood up collectively. The students straightened their backs and looked at Xu Jiawei. After all, he was the emperor. Facing the gazes of more than 200,000 people, he was not timid at all. On the contrary, he was unusually calm.
The breeze blew, making the flags above the imperial city flutter.
Xu Jiawei's eyes were gentle but not without dignity. He said, "The Soul Fighting Competition is the most grand event in our Douluo Continent. I am very happy that it is the turn of our Xingluo Empire this time. Here, on behalf of the Xingluo Empire, I warmly welcome all participating colleges. I look forward to seeing your style in the next month, and I also wish you to get the expected results."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The leaders and students from the colleges bowed again.
Xu Jiawei looked towards the rest area, nodded with a smile, and even joked, "It seems that I am not the only one who is excited. Everyone is also looking forward to the start of the competition. In this case, I declare that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun."
The following sentence was transmitted by the soul-amplifying device, and it was unknown how far it spread.
"Long live, long live, long live!"
All the audience cheered excitedly.
The cheers of up to 200,000 people almost reached the sky. In Xingluo City, countless people were attracted by the shouts and looked up in the direction of Xingluo Square.
Amidst countless cheers, the roar of 108 cannon salutes rang out above the imperial city. From this moment on, the Fighting Spirit Contest officially began.
Xu Jiawei smiled and gestured to the people, then he and the queen left the podium and arranged seats in front of the civil and military officials not far away.
After the emperor took his seat, the officials sat down one by one. However, what puzzled some people was that some seats were empty, and the people who were supposed to come did not come.
On the other side, Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei looked at each other, nodded slightly, and went straight to the podium.
Looking at Dai Hao in armor, the eyes of countless soldiers who were maintaining order lit up and their bodies straightened up subconsciously, while the people looked at Dai Hao with excitement in their eyes.
Duke White Tiger, known as the "God of War" of the Empire, actually returned to Xingluo City to watch the game.
Looking at the eyes of the people and soldiers, Xu Jiawei glanced at Dai Hao calmly, the emotion in his eyes was still gentle, without any ripples.
In the Shrek team, Dai Yueheng looked at Dai Hao on the podium with great excitement. As for the Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy team, Dai Huabin was also extremely excited.
Dai Hao looked serious and said, "There are a total of 133 colleges participating in the first round of the Fighting Spirit Competition. After the draw, one college was given a bye and directly advanced to the second round. According to the rules, the first round will be an elimination match. The loser will end their journey in this competition. The winner will sit in the rest area."
"Next, let us invite the academies of the first round and the first match of this competition to come on stage. They are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Douling Empire, and the Shrek Academy, which has won all the championships for nearly a thousand years and is the number one academy in the entire continent."
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek."
When the words "Shrek Academy" were uttered, the cheers that had subsided in Xingluo Square suddenly boiled up again.
Listening to the audience's cheers, most of the other colleges became envious. With such popularity, who wouldn't want it?
Only the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy expressed that it did not want it.
After hearing that their opponent was Shrek Academy, the group of people instantly became like eggplants hit by frost, completely lifeless.
According to their own estimates, there would be no problem in reaching the top 32 in this competition, but damn... things are unpredictable.
"Let us invite the contestants from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to enter."
Dai Hao stepped back and sat down, and the host of the competition took over the conversation.
Suddenly, a group of pale-faced people walked out from the academy group. In the eyes of students from other academies, they were like heroes who were about to die, which made people awe-inspiring.
It is because of their existence that other colleges have avoided the ravages of this big devil, so they certainly deserve the title of heroes.
As the seven people from Tianling High-level Soul Master Academy took their positions on the stage, the host quickly shouted in an excited voice: "Next, let us invite the absolute champion of the Soul Fighting Competition, the Shrek Academy team to the stage."
"Wow."
The cheers started to boil again. I’m afraid that after the game, many people will have to check their throats.
"Go." Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan watched the seven people walk out of the team.
Soon, Dai Yuheng walked to the competition stage in front, followed by the others.
Because the home team is intact, there is a relaxed atmosphere in Shrek in this life.
In the imperial city, Xu Jiawei stood up, looking a little excited. In fact, he was also a fan of Shrek Academy. If his father had not allowed it, he might have joined Shrek Academy.
The queen looked at her husband tenderly, then smiled and shook her head.
Dai Hao looked at his eldest son with great anticipation. The father and son looked at each other and nodded secretly.
When Huo Yuhao and the other seven people arrived at the competition stage, the cheers in their ears not only did not subside, but became even louder. From what he could see, the people from Tianling Academy had their legs shaking.
However, perhaps realizing that the Shrek team did not have all its main players on the field, the captain of Tianling Academy quickly gathered his teammates together to have a private conversation.
Even if they lose, they have to play a beautiful game, otherwise they will be criticized for the rest of their lives.
Off the field, the strong teams in the competition all focused their attention, wanting to analyze the strength of Shrek Academy. Only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
But it's not just the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy that wants to overthrow Shrek Academy and become the new king, they have the same idea.
Only the audience is the most pure, they just want to see Shrek Academy show off.
In the middle of the competition stage, a Titled Douluo-level referee walked over. He looked at both teams and made a gesture to walk forward.
Immediately, the two teams of fourteen people gradually moved closer.
The closer they got, the more nervous the people from Tianling Academy became. Compared to the expressionless faces of Ling Luochen and Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi and the other members of the reserve team had gentle smiles on their faces.
Huo Yuhao even smiled and nodded to the people in the other team.
The captain of Tianling College was stunned, and a smile also appeared on his face. He thought to himself, this guy is pretty good.
The referee's name is Cheng Gang. He said, "The first round of the elimination match will be held in the form of a team battle. You are all familiar with the rules of the game. Some soul guides are strictly prohibited from being used. At the same time, if one side admits defeat, the attacking side is not allowed to continue attacking. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone on both sides responded.
The referee nodded, "Both parties should retreat to one side of the competition stage and wait for me to call the start. Remember, if anyone releases his martial spirit prematurely before I call the start, he will be eliminated directly."
