Seeing all seven people leave, Wang Yan got up and closed the door of the conference room, but the relaxed look on his face disappeared in an instant. He took a long breath, and when he sat back in the first place, his face was already very solemn.

Dai Keyheng sighed and said, "Teacher Wang, does it make sense for you to comfort them so much?"

Although what you said is correct, the people who represent the other academies are also the most elite existences among the students. Perhaps there are weaker ones as well.

But the average strength of the vast majority of opponents is also at the Soul Sect level. Moreover, tomorrow's first game is the knockout round, and our opponent will definitely fight with all his strength against our academy. ”

Ma Xiaotao said: "Teacher Wang did the right thing. If you don't say that, you won't have any morale at all, and you won't have to fight tomorrow. We can only trust them completely. Can you do it or can I do it now? ”

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "I left the three of you to ask how long it will take for you to participate in the battle with your current injuries. I need precise timing. ”

Ma Xiaotao said: "If you go all out to cultivate and recuperate, it will take fifteen days." ”

Dai Keyheng said: "My cultivation is not as good as Xiao Tao, I'm afraid it will take a little longer, about seventeen days." ”

Wang Yan's mood became heavier and heavier, this was the first time he led the team to participate in the competition, and he didn't have any score in his heart!

Ling Luochen said: "My injuries are relatively light, I estimate that it will be better in about ten days." ”

Finally, there is better news. After Wang Yan calculated a little, he said: "That is to say, if everything goes well, you can play when the game reaches the third or fourth game of the knockout stage." ”

After pondering for a while, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Now we can only hope that they can win the first game." Only by getting to the knockout stage will we have a chance to move forward.

You must keep the matter of our lack of reinforcements a secret. Their confidence needs victory to build, and I am confident that they have what it takes to support this glory for our Shrek Academy. ”

Dai Keyheng nodded and said, "The teacher is right, I also believe in my younger brother, with him and Zhu Lu here, at least I can fight a soul king!" ”

……

Following.

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire revealed a serious atmosphere.

All the streets around Xingluo Square were blocked by soldiers in bright armor. Especially near the Star Emperor Hotel, there are thousands of soldiers stationed, and the street leading from here to Xingluo Square has been completely closed. Only the team members from each college who walked out of the Star Emperor Hotel can pass.

The competition platform used for this year's Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was not built in the center of Xingluo Square. Rather, it was in front of the main gate of the Imperial City.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire could directly watch the battle from the head of the Imperial City with his civil and military ministers. Not only does it have the best view, but it's also safe.

The entire stage is 100 meters in width and 5 meters in height. There are a total of one hundred and eight metal pillars on the perimeter of the stage. This is not a decoration, but a real protective soul guide.

After the start of the competition, one hundred and eight soul masters will preside over the protection of the competition platform, and these metal pillars will form a protective shield to prevent all soul skills inside from overflowing, so as not to damage the imperial city or hurt the innocent.

It cost a huge amount of money to build this competition stage alone, plus the mobilization of one hundred and eight soul masters for more than a month to serve the competition, it was indeed difficult to have a country-level force.

At this time, the Xingluo Square was empty, and there was no one in the square except for the soldiers in the distance.

The last time the Star Luo Empire held a continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, there was a stampede, and this time the Star Luo Empire's royal family attached great importance to it, not only dispatching a large army to maintain order, but also coming up with a lot of new methods.

The square is lined with iron fences, and these iron fences with a height of about 1.5 meters will not affect the sight of most people, but divide the square into different areas. Whether it is the entry or exit of the audience, there are different entrances and exits.

In this way, it is much easier for the soldiers to maintain order. There will also be a clear limit on the number of people that can be accommodated in each area.

The Imperial City is on the north side, facing south, and on the west side of the competition platform, there is also a luxurious rest area, which is specially provided for the players of each college.

However, the lounge area can only accommodate about seventy colleges. Apparently there is no preparation for the seats of the academies eliminated in the first round. That's not a waste. At the same time, it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the participating students.

Since the Continent-wide Senior Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition has changed to the current format, in addition to the final stage of the competition, the most exciting thing is actually the first round of the knockout roundout, which is even more exciting and even tragic than the subsequent round-robin matches.

Round-robin matches can also have tactical arrangements and even tactical defeats. But this first round is a direct knockout round, and if you lose, you will leave, and any participating house must pass this hurdle.

Even the previous champion Shrek Academy is the same. There is a bye for the tournament, but there is no college that can directly enjoy the privilege of a bye.

Early in the morning, the leading teachers of each college had already taken the lead in coming to the Imperial City, and the lottery was drawn with the number plate received at the time of registration.

At this point, the draw ceremony has been completed. The Star Luo Empire has its own officials who count the results of the lottery. As soon as the order of the competition comes out, the final preparations for the early stage of the competition will be completed.

The sun slowly rose high into the sky from the far east, and a warm feeling suddenly rose in Xingluo City, which was located in the middle of the continent.

At the head of the imperial city, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow robe and wearing a purple and gold crown of eight treasures stood with his hands in his hands. The position he stood in was the center of the main gate of the Imperial City, and it was also the best place to watch the competition table below.

There was also a beautiful woman in a gorgeous palace costume beside him, who was respectfully and gently accompanying him. A few steps behind is the 100 civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire.

"Your Majesty." An old man dressed in a bright red civil official costume stepped forward quickly, came to the man's side and saluted respectfully, and it could be seen from the python pattern embroidered on his robe that this old man's status was extremely noble. It can be described as a very human minister.

"Prime Minister, how's it going?" His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire asked with a smile on his face.

The prime minister said respectfully: "Everything has been arranged." The draw is over, and the order of the competition has been arranged. The perimeter is in good order. It's time to let people in. ”

Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "Okay, pass on my order, and all gates will start to release people to enter, control the speed, and maintain good order." Where there is a problem with who is responsible, heavy fines. ”

"Yes." The prime minister took a few steps backwards before turning away.

Xu Jiawei, the Emperor of Xingluo, said to the empress: "Empress, I have waited for twenty years to come to this grand event, I really miss my youth!" It's a pity that there are too many royal rules, otherwise I would have wanted to participate in it once. ”

The queen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty always has the heart of a warrior. ”

Xu Jiawei smiled and said: "You see, the students from the participating colleges have already taken the lead in entering. None of them were allowed to use the rest area today, though.

Only those who have won the knockout rounds will be eligible to enter the rest area. It is said that only ten people from Shrek Academy came this time.

Many of the participants are very young. Among the team members led by them were Dai Hao's two sons-in-law.

Thinking that Dai Hao's children could be on such a stage, I wanted to transfer Dai Hao back to watch the game.

But after thinking about it, forget it, the Sun and Moon Empire is getting more and more restless, and I am more relieved to have him guarding the western frontier. ”

The queen just listened softly and didn't have any comments, as the mother of the country, she also can't interfere in politics, especially when there are many civil ministers and military generals on both sides. Those generals are all powerful soul masters, and their ear power is very strong.

At this moment, people began to enter from all directions of Xingluo Square, and under the guidance of the soldiers, they gathered into the field like a long dragon.

If you want to watch the Fighting Soul Contest of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the whole continent, it is not free. The daily entrance fee is not too expensive, only two gold soul coins.

However, although the number of visitors to Xingluo Square has been strictly controlled, it can also accommodate more than 200,000 people at the same time.

Two Golden Soul Coins are just the most basic price. The closer the area is to the playing table, the more expensive the entrance fee becomes. In the viewing area closest to the competition platform, everyone has to pay 100 Golden Soul Coins.

For commoners, this is a lot of money, but for some merchants and nobles, it is nothing.

The Star Luo Empire has adopted a method of treating spectators equally, and if they have money, at most they will be in the front position. But the treatment is the same, you can only stand and watch the game. Not even a seat. In this way, more people can be accommodated.

……

As Emperor Xingluo and the ministers returned to the viewing platform, the host of the contest appeared.

"A total of 133 teams participated in this competition, and the first round of the competition was a knockout round. One team has a bye, and sixty-six winning teams advance to the next round robin. The loser is out! ”

The host held the amplified soul guide and said slowly, and the voice was transmitted to the audience of more than 200,000 people.

As soon as the supporter's voice fell, the audience watching the game below erupted in cheers. It can be seen how enthusiastic the people are about this game.

"The results of the draw have been decided, and the first game will be played by the Shrek Academy team against the Fighting Spirit Empire Heavenly Spirit Senior Soul Master Academy team. Both sides enter! ”

"Shrek, Shrek,......" Xingluo Square instantly boiled. Everyone cheered Shrek's name.

The sound of "Shrek" was heard far away from Xingluo Square, and those in Xingluo City who didn't buy tickets also heard the cheers and immediately joined in. The entire Star Luo City was shouting Shrek's name everywhere.

The three words Shrek have been accumulated for thousands of years, representing the golden signboard of the strongest soul master group of the younger generation.

Just as the spectators entered, the Shrek Academy reserve team also stood in the contestant area.

Today, everyone in Shrek Academy wears a traditional dark green uniform, which is the standard color of Shrek Academy.

And the place where they stood was also in the first row of all the colleges, and no college had any objection to this. This is the glory that Shrek Academy has accumulated with its strength for thousands of years.

However, the academy contestants standing in the back couldn't help but show some surprise when they looked at the lineup of Shrek Academy at this time.

It only happened to be ten people, and most of those ten people seemed to be far from being twenty years old.

You don't need to evaluate your bone age to tell how young you are. Only the first three looked almost old. But they all wore cloaks that covered their faces.

On the side of Shrek Academy, in the face of the magnificent momentum in the stands, the seven members of the reserve team were directly frightened by the frenzied crowd and turned white, but fortunately, Wang Yan spoke out to appease them:

"Little ones, don't panic. They are cheering your names. At this moment, you represent Shrek, and the glory that Shrek has accumulated over thousands of years shines on you today. Don't worry about failure, take what you've learned over the years. You can definitely defeat them. ”

The seven members of the reserve team listened to Wang Yan's reassurance, the panic in their hearts slowly disappeared, and an aura of pride and glory rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Yes, we are representing Shrek, we are the most outstanding students of Shrek's generation, and we are also the best peers on the mainland! We are the embodiment of victory!

As the voice of the tournament host sounded, "Let's invite the members of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy to play first. ”

At the back of the contestants' section, a group of colorless young players walked out.

When they walked out of the contestant area, they even looked a little fluttering.

"Game on!"

There are seven people on the side of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, including five Soul Sects and two Soul Venerables. Even in the star-studded continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy, it can be regarded as a team that is not weak.

But with that, the martial spirits of the seven people on Shrek's side were released, which stunned the eyes of everyone at the scene.

There are only four Soul Sects, two Soul Venerables, and one Great Soul Master. This configuration is even two rings less than the Heavenly Spirit Academy opposite!

……

The configuration of the soul rings of Shrek's appearance personnel surprised all the spectators who watched the game.

Is this still the Shrek Academy team that fought steadily, dealt a devastating blow to the opponent and then sang all the way to the finals?

Even Xu Jiawei in the stands was stunned, he knew that Dai Hao's eldest son Dai Yueheng and youngest son Dai Huabin were also among the Shrek team members this year.

Just Dai Keyheng, a six-ring soul emperor, and the fourteen team members on the field may not be able to defeat him. Why didn't Shrek Academy send him on the field?

But even if the audience wonders, the game has already begun. The audience can be surprised and puzzled, but for the Shrek students on the field, now their eyes are only to defeat the opponent and continue to maintain the glory of Shrek.

Bei Bei and Dai Huabin were the fastest, and as soon as the referee's words fell, they took three cigars in their mouths and rushed out with their martial spirits.

The clouds are from the dragon, and the wind is from the tiger. All of a sudden, the owners of the two top-level martial souls released their martial souls in parallel, like a storm and clouds, giving people a strong sense of oppression!

The next to strike was Xu Sanshi, who saw him release his martial spirit, holding a big shield while slowly moving forward, while covering Zhu Lu, who was about to take on the task of wandering around and harassing the opponent's team.

Xiao Xiao controls the battlefield in the rear, and Wang Dong is responsible for protecting her.

After quickly making and distributing cigars, He Caitou also learned from Xu Sanshi and began to assemble a soul guide shield to protect Xiao Xiao, who was responsible for controlling the whole scene.

Huo Yuhao, who was in the audience, looked at the lineup and collocation of Shrek Academy, and couldn't help muttering: "Good guy, without Zhang Butcher, who said that you can't eat hairy pigs?" ”

The moment he saw the Shrek Academy team collectively show off their soul rings, Xiao Hongchen even had doubts about his judgment.

This Shrek Academy is too bold, no matter how strong they are, they will send this team of students whose average age is less than fifteen years old, and there are even those who look eleven or twelve years old. Can you win an academy where everyone is close to twenty years old? There's no chance of losing in the knockout round!

"What kind of tricks is this Shrek Academy playing!"

This is the doubt of everyone present!
