Chapter Ninety-Four: The Eve of the Tournament
Around the huge and open square, there are countless shouting and cheering spectators. Directly in front of the central venue is a rostrum with a golden background, and behind the rostrum, is the renovated VIP area.
The wide field was more than one hundred and fifty meters in diameter, and the academies that entered in front had already been lined up in a neat formation in the center of the field. And when each college enters, there is a special master of ceremonies on the rostrum to introduce.
"The first to enter is the Far North Knight Academy, they are the only high-level soul master academy in Cold Snow City, there are a total of eight participants, and their slogan is, we represent the limit of the world. I wish them all the best in the competition. ”
Listening to the words of the master of ceremonies on the stage, the audience in the stands was already applauding, and the voices of praise came and went.
But for Yang Yi and them, these are not things, and that slogan is taken for granted.
And Yang Yi didn't pay attention to the surrounding voices, he had been carefully observing the surrounding situation, this Great Fighting Soul Field was undoubtedly the largest one he had ever seen. Enough stands for 80,000 spectators. All decorated with a silver-toned background, and although it is morning, there are special magic guides hanging around it, giving people not only a luxurious feeling, but also a magnificent atmosphere.
When his eyes fell on the VIP stage, he saw several acquaintances. One of them was Prince Snow Star, whom he had met at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all of whom were seated in the second row of the VIP seats. There are only three people in the first row of the VIP seats.
The person in the center, wearing a golden-red robe, wearing a golden diamond crown on his head, his face is like an ancient moon, he looks a little bigger than Prince Xuexing, and there is also a bit of similarity between his eyebrows. The difference is that this person's bearing is far from being comparable to Prince Xuexing, although he looks a little old, but sitting there gives people a sense of origin. It seems that everything around him is centered on him.
No need to ask, Yang Yi also knows the identity of this person. Even Prince Xuexing has to sit in the second row, so the identity of the person in the center of this first row is already about to be revealed, except for His Majesty Xue Ye, the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, who else can sit in this position? To the left of this man sat an old man who was older than him. His whole body was covered in a bright red robe, he wore a certain five-pointed platinum crown on his head, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep, his shoulders were narrow, and his slender body was like a javelin.
As for the person on the right side of the emperor, although Yang Yi has not seen it, Yang Yi knows his identity from the fact that the person is wearing a white robe today and wearing a purple and gold crown of seven treasures that symbolizes his identity.
He is Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Great Sects, the Upper Three Sects of the Seven Great Sects, and if it were him, he would be fully qualified to sit in this position.
As for the red-robed man on the other side, Yang Yi also knew the meaning of the five-pointed platinum crown on his head from Zihan, this person was the platinum bishop of the Martial Spirit Palace.
The supreme ruler of the Wuhun Hall is undoubtedly the Pope, and under the Pope, there are four bishops, symbolizing their status with a five-pointed platinum crown. The person in front of him is undoubtedly one of the platinum bishops. Able to be a platinum bishop, this person should be the hall master of the Heaven Dou City Martial Spirit Temple. The status is extremely noble.
As the first academy to appear, of course, everyone on the stage paid special attention, Xue Ye looked at the first academy team to come in, and said to the three education commissioners behind, "Are they the students of the Far Northern Knight Academy, the students of Ice Bear Douluo?" ”
Oneiroi said at this time, "Yes, Your Majesty, Yang Yi from the Far Northern Knight Academy promised me to come back to participate in the qualifiers of Tiandou, and I didn't break my promise, and it is said that everyone in the rest area just saw Ice Bear Douluo appear in the rest area, and now he is not there, probably observing everything in secret." ”
Everyone didn't have the slightest suspicion when they heard the words of the Oneiroi Machine, in fact, they had already been sitting here for a long time, and they had already noticed it when Ice Bear Douluo was exuding aura, that cold air like an abyss, only Ice Bear Douluo could do it on the current continent.
Xue Ye said, "Okay, you did a very good job in this matter, after the qualifiers for the tournament are over, I will definitely go back to the Far North Knight Academy to visit Ice Bear Douluo." ”
As he spoke, Xue Ye's eyes skimmed the platinum bishop next to him.
Oneiroi said at this time: "Your Majesty is wise. ”
And at this time, the face of the Platinum Bishop became a little dignified, although the Platinum Bishop had heard Ju Douluo say that Ice Bear Douluo was a strange Title Douluo who was unwilling to contact others more, but if Ice Bear Douluo happened to be in love with Xue Ye, or Xue Ye promised Ice Bear Douluo's huge conditions, wouldn't that be serious.
And with the support of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect, Xue Ye can indeed make huge conditions for Ice Bear Douluo, the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect is notoriously wealthy, and Ice Bear Douluo is also in the top five even in the Title Douluo of the Martial Spirit Palace, and they must not be allowed to meet each other.
At this time, although the Platinum Bishops' faces were flat, they were still thinking in their hearts about how to prevent Xueye and Ning Fengzhi from finding Ice Bear Douluo.
However, all this was seen by Ning Fengzhi, and at this time, Ning Fengzhi secretly made a gesture.
At this time, an old man with a withered face appeared in the dark, but his figure was still astonishing. He wasn't the kind of muscular man with extremely swollen muscles, but his entire body skeleton was amazingly large.
The clothes seemed to be held up entirely by bone frames, the muscles and skin were shriveled, and the eye sockets were deep-set, and if you had seen it at night, it would have looked like a giant skeleton. A few sparse gray hairs on the head are on the scalp, as ugly as they are.
This is Gu Rong, one of the two great Protector Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.
Ning Fengzhi secretly asked Gu Rong, "Uncle Gu, is that Ice Bear Douluo in Heaven Dou City?" ”
Gu Rong replied, "What erupted in the rest area before was the aura of Ice Bear Douluo, he should have also come to Heaven Dou City now, and he should still be in Heaven Dou City now." ”
Ning Fengzhi said, "Then now, please trouble Uncle Gu to find out Ice Bear Douluo's attitude." ”
After hearing this, Gu Rong disappeared next to Ning Fengzhi, and all of this was seen by the platinum bishop on the side.
At this time, the Platinum Bishop beckoned to the person next to him and said, "Go over and follow Bone Douluo." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Then everyone's eyes returned to the entrance again, but Ning Fengzhi and the Platinum Bishop were now thinking about the attitude that Ice Bear Douluo would give.
At this time, the team that finally participated in the competition came to the last team.
I only heard the emcee on the stage say, "The last one to enter is the team from Shrek Academy." Shrek Academy, formerly known as Lamba Academy, was renamed Shrek a year ago. Look at how distinct their bizarre costumes are, a total of eleven students participated. Their registration slogan is, champion without rivals. It's a very thoughtful slogan and I hope they can do a great job. ”
At this time, Yang Yi also noticed the people in Shrek, looking at the clothes on their bodies, Yang Yi smiled bitterly, "It's really Dean Flender's taste." ”
At this point, all the teams entered the field.
The master of ceremonies on the side of the VIP stage said loudly: "Next, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire to announce the opening of this competition. ”
Just as Yang Yi guessed, His Majesty the Heaven Dou Emperor who was sitting in the center of the first row of the VIP seats, wearing a red gold robe, slowly got up amid thunderous applause.
With his right hand raised, he waved lightly to the audience and the participating soul masters below, and the applause quickly stopped, and the square became silent.
A calm and loud voice spread throughout the audience through the amplified soul guide, "I, the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also on behalf of the organizer of this competition, announce that the Pan-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is now open. ”
The applause was thunderous again, and the cheers came and went. But Yang Yi and Xingyue, who were in the field, suddenly found that the smile on the face of His Majesty the Emperor was a little far-fetched, as if they were not excited about this competition.
When the applause fell silent again, His Majesty the Emperor continued: "Here, I hope that all the soul masters who participated in this competition can give full play to their strength and get good results. You are all the pride of the Heaven Dou Empire. For the glory of the Empire, show your glory. ”
The applause rang out for the third time, and this time, the eyes of the soul masters in the center of the arena were all releasing a scorching brilliance. For them, such a contest will be the best stage to show themselves.
His Majesty the Emperor sat back in place, and the voice of the master of ceremonies sounded again, "Next, I would like to invite the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, Mr. Ning Fengzhi, to give a speech for this competition." ”
As Ning Fengzhi got up, the applause appeared again, more of a concerned gaze, as the first auxiliary soul master in the soul master world, who didn't want to see his demeanor.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, and pressed his hands weakly, "I'm very happy to be invited as a guest at the opening of this competition." As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, this seat has seen too many soul masters grow up. As the most noble profession in the mainland, the development of every soul master has to go through many temperings. But what I want to say is that the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold. The people who participated in this soul master competition were undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation. As Your Majesty just said, I hope that you will be able to bring glory to the Empire, as well as to your own Academy. The Empire needs people like you. Thank you. ”
Listening to Ning Fengzhi's speech, a sincere smile finally appeared on the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The master of ceremonies said: "Sect Master Ning, you are the most powerful auxiliary soul master, I ask you on behalf of the audience watching this battle. Which of the 29 teams participating in the Heaven Dou City Division Qualifiers are you optimistic about? ”
Ning Fengzhi was still smiling, "In addition to the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that entered the finals as the seeded team, I am also optimistic about another team among the twenty-nine teams this time. I think that not only do they have the ability to pass the qualifiers, but at the same time, they are also very likely to win the final victory of this Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. ”
"Oh?" The master of ceremonies said in surprise: "I don't know how the team can get Sect Master Ning's eyes?" ”
Ning Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously and said, "As for which academy this team belongs to, I can't disclose it for the time being." But I believe that the final champion of this competition will definitely belong to the empire. ”
The platinum bishop sitting next to the Snowy Night Emperor opened his eyes at this time, his eyes looked very cloudy, and there was no brilliance, his gaze fell on the twenty-nine participating teams in the venue, as if he was looking for the team that Ning Fengzhi was talking about, because he knew that if it was the Extreme North Knight Academy, Ning Fengzhi would say it directly, and it would not be vague like now.
But it's just a little bit of a concern, the most important thing now is the attitude of Ice Bear Douluo, as long as Ice Bear Douluo joins the Wuhun Palace, the eight students of the Far Northern Knight Academy will also join the Wuhun Palace, you must know that the previous Zihan was said by the Pope to be the existence of the Title Douluo in the future, and the eight knights who are as famous as Zihan must not be bad. This is a huge wealth for the Martial Spirit Palace.
At this time, the audience had already begun to discuss hotly, and they all guessed which team Ning Fengzhi was optimistic about, and if they were smarter, they naturally understood that Ning Fengzhi would not be referring to the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Because their strength is not as good as that of the seeded team, how can they be the final champions? But there are a total of 29 teams participating in the qualifiers, and in the end, only five teams can appear, so it is not so easy to guess.
Ning Fengzhi sat back in his place, and the master of ceremonies smiled: "It's a pity that I couldn't get the team he was optimistic about from Sect Master Ning's mouth. Next, I would like to invite Lord Salas, the Lord of the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Sanctuary and the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Soul Palace, to draw lots for the first round of qualifiers. After the draw is over, it will be the Heaven Dou Royal Academy vice-team that will play against their opponents from the first round of the draw. It will also be the only game of the day. ”
Platinum Bishop Salas slowly stood up, walked to the master of ceremonies, led by the court maid, and began to draw lots. He seemed to be very reluctant to speak, and every time he drew a pair of opponents, he handed them to the master of ceremonies to announce.
"In the first round of the qualifiers, Canghui Academy vs. Purple Star Academy."
"In the first round of the qualifiers, Auckland Academy vs. Flame Radiance Academy."
“……”
"In the first round of the qualifiers, Tiandou Royal Academy played against Shrek Academy."
"In the first round of the qualifiers, the Far North Knight Academy had a bye."
Yang Yi shook his head after hearing their bye, and Hongyue on the side said, "I don't know if our luck is really so good, or if the Heaven Dou Imperial Family deliberately did it." ”
Yang Quan on the side said, "Who knows, but it's all good for me." ”
Si Ming said, "Quan is right, whether it is to hide his strength or to observe the strength of other academies, it is a good opportunity. ”
Yang Yi said, "Let's go, let's go to the viewing platform and watch." ”
………………
Tiandou City Food Street at this time.
Xiaobai was eating all kinds of things, and muttered in his mouth, "It's delicious, next time I will let my mother taste the deliciousness of these things." ”
At this time, Xiaobai's eyes flickered coldly, and he said to a corner behind him, "Come out, don't hide." ”
But there was still no fluctuation in that corner, and at this time, Xiaobai's breath soared and said, "It seems that you asked me to invite you out." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and headed for the corner, which was an ice attack.
At this time, a black vortex appeared in that corner, and then he stretched out a hand to block Xiaobai's attack, and then said with a smile.
"Ice Bear Douluo really deserves its reputation."
