Xu Jiawei said to the beautiful woman beside him: "Queen, I have been waiting for this grand event for twenty years. I really miss my youth! It's a pity that the royal family has too many rules, otherwise I really wanted to participate once."
The queen smiled slightly and said: "The emperor always has a warrior's heart."
Xu Jiawei smiled and said: "You see, the students from the participating colleges have already entered the venue first. But today they cannot use the rest area. Only those who win the knockout round are eligible to enter the rest area. It is said that this time Shrek Academy only comes
Ten people. Many participating team members
They are all very young. One of the leading team members is Dai Hao's eldest son. I originally wanted to bring Dai Hao back to watch the game. After all, it only takes his turn to come to our country once every twenty years. But then I thought about it and forgot about it. Sun and Moon
The empire is becoming more and more restless, so I feel more at ease with him guarding Western Xinjiang."
The queen just listened gently without making any comments. As the mother of the country, she could not interfere in politics, especially when there were many civil servants and generals on both sides. Those generals were all powerful soul masters, and their ears were very strong.
.
At this moment, people began to enter the venue from all directions in Xingluo Square. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they gathered into the venue like long queues.
It is not free to watch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. The daily admission fee is not too expensive, just two gold soul coins. However, although Xingluo Plaza has strictly controlled the number of admissions,
It can also accommodate more than 200,000 people to watch the battle at the same time. And such a high admission fee is enough to isolate 90% of the people of the Star Luo Empire from outside. Those surrounding people who squeeze into Star Luo City can only hear about it indirectly.
Learn about the grand occasion on the field.
Two gold soul coins are just the basic price. The closer the area is to the competition stage, the more expensive the admission fee is. In the viewing area closest to the competition stage, everyone has to pay a hundred gold soul coins to enter.
Just fine.
For civilians, this is a lot of money, but for some businessmen and nobles, it is nothing.
Star Luo Empire has adopted a method of treating all spectators equally. If you have money, you can sit at the front at most. But the treatment is the same. You can only stand and watch. There are not even seats, so that more people can be accommodated.
From the daily admission fee income alone, the Star Luo Empire can receive about two million gold soul coins. In one month, that is 60 million gold soul coins. Excluding military expenditures and investments, the empire can also make a lot of money.
This is one of the reasons why the four major empires are very willing to hold the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. You know, Star Luo City’s annual tax revenue is almost this amount!
When the audience entered the venue, Jiang Yun and other thirteen members of the Sun Moon Team were already standing in the contestant area, while Jiang Yun and other seven people who were about to compete were standing at the front.
No one present was surprised that among the seven of them, there were several faces that seemed too young; with the strength of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, it was indeed possible to achieve such a huge success. Always, in the early competitions,
Team Sun and Moon will send reserve members into battle to practice in advance.
However, opposite them, the lineup of Shrek Academy was a bit surprising. Not to mention only ten people came from Shrek Academy. Among these ten people, it seemed that most of them were less than twenty years old.
You can tell how young they are without even measuring their bone age.
Only the three people at the front looked almost old enough. But they all wore cloaks, covering their appearance.
Jiang Yun was secretly amused. Others didn't know the real situation of Shrek Academy, but he knew it clearly now, but he was pretending to be mysterious here. Of course, he would not expose Shrek Academy.
It took nearly half an hour for the audience to enter the venue, and there were simply too many people.
The originally empty Xingluo Square was now overcrowded. Fortunately, there were some iron bars blocking the area, dividing it into areas, and the soldiers maintaining order, so it seemed less chaotic.
By this time, it was already three o'clock in the sky.
"Silence." A loud voice suddenly spread throughout the entire venue. Hearing this voice, all the soldiers stood at attention and raised their spears. Suddenly, a chilling atmosphere spread throughout the venue. The originally noisy Xingluo Square suddenly fell silent.
Come down.
With such a seemingly shocking military appearance, all the academy teams from the Sun and Moon Empire just looked on with cold eyes. They knew that such an army did not just exist as an honor guard, but the true appearance of the Star Luo Empire's army, and it could already be counted as a million-strong army.
The most elite among the army.
The regular army of the Star Luo Empire is still almost completely in the form of cold weapons, and the soul guidance device has not been used at all. No matter how murderous it looks, it is difficult to scare the students of the Sun and Moon Empire from the bottom of their hearts.
Xiao Hongchen and many other people sneered secretly in their hearts. If the interference of the soul masters was excluded, the Sun and Moon Empire Army only needed a company of a hundred people to defeat the Star Luo Empire's army of ten thousand people.
However, Jiang Yun knew in his heart that the real core power of the Three Kingdoms was not maintained by these superficial forces at all.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."
"Wow--" The people suddenly fell to their knees in large numbers. Hundreds of thousands of people made the same neat movements at the same time. The scene was indeed extremely spectacular. The faces of the people, whether they were wealthy businessmen or small aristocrats, all had a smile on their faces.
Colored with awe and even fanaticism.
Unlike the two great empires of Tianhun and Dou Ling, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire is known as the "little father" in the country, and is much more powerful in terms of authority and prestige.
The soldiers knelt on one knee, and all participating colleges had been accurately informed beforehand, allowing them not to kneel, but they needed to bow ninety degrees to show respect for the emperor.
"My lords, please stand up." The voice of Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire was amplified by the amplified soul guide. The people then stood up one after another, and the students from the participating colleges also straightened their backs. Everyone's eyes were on
On top of the imperial city directly ahead.
Emperor Xingluo had already brought his queen and civil and military officials to the front of the city, patrolling his people with gentle but majestic eyes.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the most important event in our Douluo Continent soul master world. This time it is our turn to be held in our Star Luo Empire, and I am very happy. Here, on behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome the people from far away
Representatives from various colleges, led by Shrek Academy, are here. I hope you will show your due style in the competition in the next month."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The leaders and students from the 133 colleges bowed and saluted again.
Xu Jiawei also smiled and nodded in their direction.
"Okay, I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun."
Under the loud announcement of Emperor Xingluo, the curtain of this grand event was unveiled.
"Long live, long live, long live!" the people shouted in unison. Their emotions were aroused almost instantly.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." The roar of the salute sounded at the top of the city, and it lasted for 108 times before stopping. Xingluo Square has turned into a sea of excitement and cheers
.
Xu Jiawei led the officials to retreat slightly. The seats had been arranged. He and the Queen took their seats and waved to the Prime Minister next to him. The Prime Minister immediately understood and gave the order to his subordinates for the start of the competition.
The loud voice from before suddenly sounded again, "According to the competition rules of the Continental Senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the first round will be an elimination round. In this competition, there are a total of one hundred and thirty senior soul masters and soul master academies who have signed up.
Thirteen schools. After drawing lots, one of them got a bye in the first round. A total of sixty-six games were played. The first round competition
The competition is a knockout system. The loser will directly end the journey of this competition. Next, the first game will begin immediately. The two sides of the competition are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy representative team from the Dou Ling Empire, and the mainland's No. 1 team.
The academy has countless honors, including the Shrek Academy team that has won almost all competition championships in the past nearly a thousand years."
With this announcement by the host of the competition, the atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Square immediately reached its peak.
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."
The shouts of Shrek Academy resounded from almost every corner of the square. Even students from many academies cheered along, with fanatical and yearning colors on their faces. Only the various teams from the Sun and Moon Empire remained silent.
Although the Star Luo Empire commentator's statement was a bit exaggerated, it was not too exaggerated. For thousands of years, the Shrek Academy team has indeed won more than 90% of the champions in the continent's senior soul master fighting competition, while the Sun Moon Royal
The Soul Engineer Academy team lost more than they won.
Of course, this is not the soul master of the Sun and Moon Empire. It is really that much worse than the elites trained by Shrek. As far as the current situation is concerned, after reaching the ninth level soul master, the combat power of the same level soul master is higher than that of the traditional
Soul masters are more powerful, even when facing Shrek.
Facing the roaring cheers from the audience, everyone in Shrek seemed a little embarrassed, and even turned pale. His family knew their own affairs, and they didn't even know whether they could win this match.
Of course, the people in Shrek Academy were panicked, and the people on the other side were even more frightened; when the other side came on stage, even their feet were weak, like chaff. For most academies, facing Shrek Academy is basically the same as fighting against Shrek Academy.
Defeat is no different; what's more, the Shrek Academy team has always struck hard. Today's Continental Senior Soul Master Competition is based on the principle of "fists and feet without eyes". In principle, it is not prohibited to seriously injure or even kill people.
On Shrek's side, seeing the opponent's performance being so ugly, the pressure was relieved a lot for a while, and his self-confidence began to recover a little bit again.
"Okay, the members of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have already appeared. At this moment of great attention, let us invite the first academy in mainland China, the true king of the academy, the Shrek Academy representative team to appear."
The host's high-pitched voice pierced into the clouds, and Star Luo Square suddenly turned into a sea of cheers for Shrek. At this moment, even the Star Luo Emperor, who was sitting on top of the city to watch the battle, couldn't help but stand up.
Come, there is excitement on his face.
As a secret that is not a secret, not only the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei, but also the current emperors who originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms, when they were princes, they all studied at Shrek Academy, kowtowed in front of the statues of Tang San's ancestors, and took baths.
The light passing through the Sea God Pavilion.
In fact, apart from the Sun and Moon Empire, the emperor of any of the four continental countries today needs to be recognized by the Poseidon Pavilion if he wants to be legally crowned. Otherwise, once he is "excommunicated" by the Poseidon Pavilion, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Yes; hundreds of years ago, there was a Dou Ling Emperor who even knelt in front of the golden tree for seven days and nights in order to beg the forgiveness of the Lord of the Poseidon Pavilion.
