Chapter Seventy-Four: The Contest Begins

At the end of each summer, the annual All-Empire Primordial Contest of the Redan Empire kicks off, gathering young primordial masters from all over the Empire.

The venue of the competition is located in the Royal Palace in the province of Leidan.

The city of Hantan is near the Imperial Palace, so the road is not particularly far.

Xu Fan, Xue Ze, Wu Feng, Shen Yan, Zou Xiao, Fan Wenting and Yang Cheng, a total of seven people bid farewell to Handan City, led by Kai Ying, because it was held in the palace, Hu Tiandi naturally could not appear.

The night before the tournament opened, several people stayed in a hotel next to the palace and practiced in their rooms.

When the first rays of sunlight break through the constraints of the earth and slowly rise from the horizon, the quiet streets begin to bustle gradually, and in the distance, the gilded buildings of the palace radiate dazzling brilliance as the sun shines down.

Almost all the shops near the palace opened earlier than before, in order to take advantage of the annual Primordial Tournament to earn extra gold.

Similarly, all the students who participated in the competition around the palace got up early.

In front of the golden pillar, which is about ten feet high, a pair of young people stand neatly, wearing colorful school uniforms, red, yellow, blue and green, while the school uniforms of Hantan College are mainly black, which is not very conspicuous in the crowd.

With the sound of a trumpet, the gate of the palace gradually opened, and out of it came two teams of soldiers dressed in golden light, separated on both sides, and a solemn aura hit them, making these young primordial divisions participating in the competition even more nervous, although these two teams of soldiers welcomed the arrival of young primordial divisions from all over the empire.

When Yang Cheng approached the palace, he was immediately attracted by the most luxurious place in the whole empire, the palace has always been known for luxury, although Xu Fan and Xue Ze also came here last year, but they were still attracted by the scene in front of them.

The first thing that catches your eye is the spaciousness.

Rows of displays on both sides, high and low, spectacular and majestic, the palace is generally a blue and white stone base, a tall roof, yellow glazed tiles, everywhere is a dragon pattern, and decorated with the brilliant color of the golden wall. The heavy eaves spire pavilion protrudes, like five phoenixes that are about to fly, and the momentum is magnificent.

In the distance, a very wide hall sits on the high part of the palace, with it as the center with a radius of 500 meters without any buildings, and the surrounding palaces of all sizes seem to set off the palace in the middle.

Around this palace, there are sixteen dragon pillars with pink and gold paint, and just above the palace, there is a dragon carved lying down, the mighty dragon head is poking down, holding a jewel in the mouth, equipped with mountain stones, clouds, shining gold, majestic. Needless to say, this is where the Emperor of the Redan Empire is located.

If you stand at the emperor's palace and look around, you can see all of the palace.

It's more of a small city than a royal palace.

In the middle of Miyagi, there is also a huge square with a circular ring up to one meter high in the middle, about the size of half a football field.

And this is where all the young primordial masters in the whole empire compete.

The three-story building on the four sides of the circular ring also extends along the perimeter of the ring.

"It's called 'grandstand'. Kai Ying explained to everyone, "All the people who can stand in the stands are important ministers and nobles of the empire, and people who have no rights or financial resources are not qualified to enter here, and this time, the mayor of Handan City, Nangong Ge, will also attend." After speaking, Kaiying glanced at Yang Cheng.

"Then the position with the best view in the middle should be reserved for Emperor Leidan. Yang Cheng asked.

"That's right, His Majesty won't show up unless it's time for the finals and awards. ”

About thirty-six teams from all over the continent came to participate in the competition. Since it was still early, the thirty teams were evenly distributed around the circle to rest, waiting for the opening time.

"The next step for us is the draw, and out of 36 teams, the top four teams from the year will be seeded and will advance directly to the quarterfinals. Kai Ying said to the seven people who were resting.

Following Kaiying's gaze, a group of people in golden school uniforms attracted Yang Cheng's attention. These families are the students of the Royal Academy of Leidan, all of them are handsome men and women, and their aura is extraordinary. The first person is an extremely beautiful man, and his eyebrows are extremely cold.

"So handsome. Shen Yan swallowed.

"Isn't she just a sissy? Yang Cheng pursed his lips.

"This is not a sissy, the captain of the Royal Academy of Leidan. The strength is the same as mine, and it is the peak of the Nine Turns Primordial Division, but if I fight against him, it is estimated that I will not be sure of it. Xu Fan reminded on the side.

"Sancheng is not sure?" Yang Cheng was taken aback, you know, Xu Fan is already at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Primordial Division, and when he fights at the same level, there is such a big gap?

Kai Ying nodded and said, "The weapons they use and the teaching of the Force are the best in the entire empire. ”

Kai Ying paused, these four seeded teams are the Royal Primordial Academy, the First Primordial Academy of Leidan Province, the Second Primordial Academy, and the Warcraft Academy. In addition to these four teams, the other 32 teams will be drawn.

Yang Cheng's eyes were locked on a team of all-boys, all of them with tigers on their backs, revealing a trace of evil spirit, and there were even many scars on their faces and wearing tooth necklaces of demonic beasts as decorations.

"That's the Warcraft Academy, originally known as the First Primordial Master Academy of Marco Province, but because Marco Province is close to the Warcraft Forest, and many of these students have experienced in the Warcraft Forest, it was simply renamed the Warcraft Academy. Kai Ying explained.

"I see. Yang Cheng nodded, "The students who have trained from the Warcraft Forest are really extraordinary, and they have won the fourth place in the whole empire, and they have directly entered the eighths competition as the fourth seeded player. ”

Several participating teams walked into their own lounges, waiting for the opening time. More and more people are starting to take their seats, gradually filling up the empty seats.

Those who can sit in the seats are not low, and Nangongge, who is the mayor of Handan City, Leidan Province, can only sit in the lowest row of seats.

Yang Cheng closed his eyes and recuperated, not nervous at all, but a few other people, rubbing their palms, their hearts pounding, anxiously waiting for the lottery.

As time gradually passed, the time for the start of the competition finally came slowly under the watchful eye of the public.

"Ding"

When a crisp bell rang in the round ring, the originally noisy conversations and noises fell silent for a moment.

The students of all the houses walked out of the common room and stood under the ring, looking at the source of the bell.

Listening to the bell lingering in his ears, an old man stood up tremblingly, the seat next to him was always empty, but that empty seat was the most honorable position in the empire - the emperor's seat.

The old man sat next to the emperor's throne, which was enough to show the respect of his status. I saw him slowly walking to the middle of the stage, during which no one spoke, and slowly watched the old man's movements.

Finally, the old man walked to the bluestone platform, his eyes swept over the thirty-six student teams participating in the original teacher competition, and the voice like a withered leaf sounded:

"On behalf of the Empire, I would like to send a decree to the young primordial teachers in your empire..."

Thunderous applause rang out all around.

After the politeness, the original teacher competition finally kicked off in the words of the old man.

"The Empire-wide Young Primordial Contest in the name of the Redan Empire starts now!"

Off the field, the audience was boiling, shaking the world.
