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 Vast Empire to announce the opening of this competition. ”

Just as Luo Lan guessed, His Majesty the Emperor of the Luo Lan Empire, who was sitting in the center of the first row of the VIP seats, wearing a red and gold robe, slowly got up amid thunderous applause.

With his right hand raised, he waved it at the audience and the participating magicians below, and the applause quickly stopped, and the square became silent.

The calm and loud voice spread throughout the audience through the amplified soul guide, "I, the Emperor of the Vast Empire Xue Ye, on behalf of the Vast Empire, and also on behalf of the organizer of this competition, announce that the Pan-Continent Senior College Elite Competition is now open. ”

The applause was thunderous again, and the cheers came and went. But Luo Lan, who was in the field, suddenly found that the smile on the face of His Majesty the Emperor was a little far-fetched, as if he was not excited about this competition.

When the applause fell silent again, His Majesty the Emperor continued: "Here, I hope that all the magicians participating in this competition can give full play to their strength and get good results. You are all the pride of the vast 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 magicians in the center of the arena were 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 Mr. Gu Long to give a speech for this competition." ”

As Gu Long got up, the applause appeared again, and more attention was paid to, as the number one magician in the wizard world, who didn't want to see his demeanor.

Gu Long smiled slightly, and pressed his hands weakly, "I'm glad to be invited as a guest at the opening of this competition." I've seen too many magicians grow up. As the most noble profession in the mainland, every soul master has to go through many temperings to develop. 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 magician 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 Gu Long's speech, a sincere smile finally appeared on the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Vast Empire.

The master of ceremonies said: "You are the most powerful auxiliary magician, I ask you on behalf of the audience watching this battle." Which of the twenty-eight teams participating in the Demon Dou City Division Qualifiers are you optimistic about?"

Gu Long was still smiling, "Except for the first team of the Royal Academy that entered the finals as the seeded team. Out of the 28 teams this time, I am also optimistic about another team. I think. Not only do they have the ability to pass the qualifiers, but they also have a good chance of winning the final victory of this year's All-Continent College Elite Competition. ”

"Oh?" the master of ceremonies said in surprise, "I don't know how the team can get Gu Zun's eyes?"

Gu Long smiled mysteriously and said, "As for which academy this team belongs to, I will forgive you for selling it." It cannot be disclosed at the moment. But I believe. The final champion of this tournament will definitely belong to the empire. ”

Sitting beside the Snowy Night Emperor, the platinum bishop who had been closing his eyes slightly before opened his eyes at this time, his eyes looked cloudy and not bright, and his gaze fell on the twenty-eight participating teams in the field, as if he was looking for the team that Gu Long had said.

At this time. The audience has already started to have a heated discussion. They all guessed which team Gu Long was optimistic about, so they were smarter. Naturally, he understood that Gu Long's finger would not be the second team of the 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 28 teams participating in the qualifiers, and only five teams can appear in the end, so it is so easy to guess.

Gu Long 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 Gu Zun's mouth. Next, I would like to invite Lord Salas, the Master of the Vast Temple, the Platinum Bishop of the Vast Temple, to draw lots for the first round of qualifiers. Once the draw is over, the Royal Academy vice-team will play against their opponents from the first 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 played against Purple Star Academy. ”

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Auckland College played against Flame Academy. ”

"In the first round of the qualifiers, the Royal Academy played against the Strange Academy. ”

The other academies were playing against strange academies, and when they heard that their opponent in the first round was actually the vice team of the Royal Academy, the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but become strange.

Ke Anyang muttered, "It won't be such a coincidence." ”

Meng Haoyu pressed his fingers and let out a series of bone crackling sounds, "Great." Didn't they drive us out? This time, let them see what strength is. ”

Luo Lan had a wry smile on her face. They were naturally eager to play against the Royal Academy, but now this outfit is going to be the focus of the first day of the tournament, which is really ......

It's not just the people of the Strange Academy who are surprised. The audience was equally surprised. Other colleges may not get much attention. But the strange academy is so brilliant, how can it not be noticed?

For a while, the sound of cheering was endless. A lot of viewers are shouting the word cheating. In their opinion, the second team of the Royal Academy is obviously looking for a soft persimmon to pinch. The Strange Academy, on the other hand, doesn't look like a team of magicians at all, more like a bunch of clowns.

At the end of the draw, the platinum bishop Salas swept his eyes to the audience and said lightly: "This lottery is not false. This seat swears by the honor of the vast palace. At the same time, this seat hereby announces that all the participating students of the Wizard Academy present who can enter the final finals will make an exception for them to directly join the Vast Temple. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was nothing, but the magicians in the venue were already in an uproar.

What is the existence of the Vast Temple? It is the highest place in the Vast Temple after the Pope's Hall and the Venerable Palace, and there is only one capital of each of the five great empires in the entire continent. The Papal Palace is the exclusive preserve of the Pope. The hall is also a symbolic existence. Therefore, the status of the Vast Temple is actually the highest institution in the Vast Temple. Being able to directly enter the Vast Sanctuary can be described as a shortcut to improving the strength of a mage. Not only does it have the best treatment, but all kinds of cultivation measures and the honor of the vast temple, all of which have a strong attraction to ordinary magicians.

Listening to the words of the platinum bishop, the Snowy Night Emperor's face sank significantly. The ancient dragon beside him shook his head gently at the emperor. The Snowy Night Emperor's face softened a little.

This small detail is that the people around them are behind them, so naturally they can't see it. The Luo Lan below are far away. However, this did not escape Luo Lan's eyes. He clearly saw some of the mysteries. Combined with some of the things that Ye Kong once told himself. Luo Lan understood that the contradiction between this vast hall and the empire seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and it was about to reach an irreconcilable level. Otherwise, the Platinum Bishop would not dare to recruit excellent magicians in front of the Emperor.

"Okay, then the first game of the first round of the qualifiers that will be played next is the Royal Academy vs. the Strange Academy. The participating colleges will be withdrawn. Please be prepared for the two academies that will play later. Half an hour later, the game officially began. ”

"Luo Lan, let me play. Ke Anyang ignored the contemptuous and contemptuous eyes around him, and said to Luo Lan with his hands in full swing.

Luo Lan glared at him, "According to the original plan." You don't have to fight. ”

Bronn laughed and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Senior brother, don't worry." Later, my brother will help you teach that royal academy guy a good lesson. ”

Ke Anyang is like a deflated ball, if you use two words to describe his eyes at the moment, the word resentment is the most appropriate.

Since the other academies did not play today, they left the rest area directly after leaving the stadium and went to the stands specially prepared for the players under the guidance of the staff to watch the game. Because the Royal Academy is a symbol of the Imperial Family, the treatment is naturally different from that of ordinary colleges, and it does not rest here. In the rest area of Nuo University, only the group of strange students was soon left.

None of the three deans came, and apparently, the game was left to their own control.

Meng Haoyu said in a deep voice: "Little junior brother, you can arrange it." ”

Luo Lan was also not polite, nodded, and said, "Those who will appear later are, Senior Brother, me, Chen Ziqian, Bron, Suanna, Leona." Attack according to the first set of plans. We had been humiliated like that at the Royal Academy. Although that was brought to us by Prince Snow Star. But it is the Royal Academy that symbolizes the royal family. The dean and the teacher didn't come, but I knew very well what they meant, if we want to have a good life in the future. Then, today we will completely defeat our opponents. I think a minute is enough for us. ”

Meng Haoyu clapped his palms at each other, and the four fierce eyes of his evil eyes flashed, "That's right, we only need one minute." ”

An invisible aura of slaughter quietly spread around Luo Lan and Meng Haoyu. The scene of powerlessly quitting the Royal Academy in front of Dugu Bo will never be erased from their minds. Although Luo Lan didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood that they not only had to defeat the second team of the Royal Academy, but also made them fail to pass this qualifier.

It didn't take long for the special staff to arrive, urging everyone to appear. The organizers obviously didn't look favorably on them, and there was only one staff member who came to lead the way. As soon as they walked to the exit of the passage, everyone in the Strange Academy had already heard the master of ceremonies outside loudly announcing the names of everyone entering the Royal Academy and their magical attributes. A special golden beam of light descended from the high platform erected on the side of the magic arena, escorting the members of the second team of the Royal Academy one by one.

The members of the Royal Academy don't talk about their strength, but they are already quite good-looking, with two words embroidered on the left chest on the pale gold uniform, and seven silver stars on the back. That's the hallmark of empire. All of them are heroic, and they all look like they are in their twenties. Even though it's daytime, they seem to be unleashing dazzling brilliance. It's like a little golden sun, attracting the audience's attention.

". This is obviously using us as green leaves to set off these safflower fields. Ke Anyang said angrily. Although the figure of this Twin Fire Demon is not as strong as Bron, it is also quite strong, and like Meng Haoyu and Luo Lan, he is also a fire attribute magician. Because of his straightforward personality, he was quickly accepted by strangers.

Sana on the side said in a dark voice: "That's not right." We are not green leaves, but we are treated as cow dung. Isn't it even more dazzling when flowers are inserted in cow dung?" The slender water type mage has a somewhat feminine feeling. With him, everyone will feel very uncomfortable. His cold feeling was like a poisonous snake staring at a person. Even when everyone is fighting, he never puts himself in a disadvantageous position. He is often the one who joins forces to attack, and when he is attacked, he will never find the master. was called a cowardly man by Meng Haoyu, Luo Lan, and Bron, who were fierce boys. Fortunately. This guy just has a weird personality, but his strength is quite good.

"Let them know who cow dung is later. Bronn shook his fist hard.

Meng Haoyu said coldly: "Let's go." It's our turn. ”

The lights disappear. The students of the Strange Academy slowly appeared in the midst of a large number of boos.

Changes had already taken place in the venue at this time, and in the short time of half an hour before, the ring that had already been prepared was built. The ring is ten meters high, circular, and thirty meters in diameter. The area is quite vast. Of course. And that's just a ring. Wait until tomorrow when the qualifiers really kick off. There will be five rings at the same time. Twenty-eight teams will play 27 rounds of ground qualifiers. Each team needs to face twenty-seven opponents. Win a game and get a point. The loser has no points. After 28 rounds, the top five teams will advance to the qualifying round. And entering the qualifier is equivalent to entering the finals. The month-long qualifiers are a test for any academy team. Twenty-eight consecutive days of competition were enough to bring down the team with poor staying power.

During the entire schedule of the Continental Senior College Elite Competition, half of the time before and after this qualifier will be occupied. Both the qualifiers and the finals will be held at the border between the Empire of Fire and the Vast Empire, in the Grand Square in front of the Pope's Palace. The final winner will be awarded the prize by the Pope himself. What an honor.

Sure enough, it was treated differently, Luo Lan's eyes narrowed slightly. The expression on his face was still calm. Together with Meng Haoyu, a total of eleven members of the Strange Academy fought in a row in the center of the ring. Opposite the members of the second team of the Royal Academy on the opposite side.

The second team of the Royal Academy has a total of sixteen players. At the beginning, the strange academy stayed in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a short time, and these people in front of them naturally didn't know Luo Lan and them. These children from noble backgrounds naturally looked down on the costumes of the strange academy members. If this weren't in the ring, I'm afraid many of them would have burst into laughter.

"What a bunch of toads. Just like that, you're going to participate in the Wizard Competition?" Standing at the front of the second team of the Royal Academy was a petite boy. This person has fair skin and is very beautiful, and looks like a girl. Even the voice of the voice is very soft.

"Captain, how could we have been drawn against such an opponent. It's really a toad that falls on the surface of its feet, and it doesn't bite people, but it also responds to people. Look at their academy logo, it's funny. Next to the petite boy, a girl with flowers and branches on her chest was about to come out, covering her mouth and nose and whispering. In that way, it seems that he is afraid of smelling the students of Shrek Academy.

The captain nodded thoughtfully, and his eyes drifted to Chen Ziqian with some confusion, "It's just a pity that such a little beauty is a pity." ”

Chen Ziqian snorted coldly, "A yin and yang person, a hook girl, how did we draw such an opponent." ”

"Little slut, who do you say is the girl who is the hook bar?" The female student with a fiery body immediately went crazy. The male student, who was called a yin-yang man, suddenly turned pale.

Meng Haoyu laughed, "Ziqian, you are too talented." How could I not think of such a good adjective. Yin and Yang people with hook column women. It's a perfect match!"

The petite captain of the second team of the Royal Academy said coldly: "Okay, you guys are very good. The match though is forbidden to kill opponents. But disability is inevitable. Since you are looking for your own death, then we are no wonder. ”

Before the game began, the two sides were already tense, and the smell of gunpowder was obviously strong.

Meng Haoyu was robbed of his lines by the other party, and he was obviously a little unhappy. At this point, the referee has already walked over.

The two sides saluted, and the non-participants withdrew from the ring. ”

Whether it was the Royal Academy or the Strange Academy, both sides reluctantly bent down to salute each other. The redundant players withdrew from the ring, leaving only seven of them to participate in the first game of the qualifiers.

On the side of the strange academy, standing at the front were Meng Haoyu, Bulong, and Suona. In Luo Lan's play, the two sides are: Leona and Jing Ling, and Chen Ziqian stands at the back.

On the side of the Royal Academy, except for a man and a woman who spoke before, the remaining five people were all able-bodied, and the five people stood in a row in front of them, blocking the two behind them like a wall. The other party standing in the center is the petite captain, no need to ask, he should be the explosive magician in this team. And the fiery girl stood at the back.

VIP seats.

The Snowy Night Emperor looked at the ring with a smile, and said to Gu Long beside him: "Gu Zun, it seems that there will be no suspense in this first game!"

Gu Long smiled slightly, nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Platinum Bishop Salas suddenly said, "Gu Zun, can you tell me that among the twenty-eight teams of magicians you were optimistic about before, who is the champion you are talking about?"

Gu Long smiled and said, "Your Excellency Salas, isn't it good to be a little mysterious? I think you must have a support team too." ”

Saraspi said with a smile: "So, Gu Zun is unwilling to reveal it?"

Gu Long smiled indifferently and said, "This is the sect's own secret, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with His Excellency Salas. ”

"You ......," Salas' face sank visibly. His gaze collided with Gu Long in front of the Snowy Night Emperor, and no one avoided it.

The Snow Night Emperor, who was sitting in the middle, frowned slightly, and said, "You don't have to be anxious, after this competition is over, there will naturally be a result." Bishop Salas, Guzun is right, who is optimistic about who is his own business. You see, it's hard for me to ask that question. Although I'm also curious. ”

Platinum Bishop Salas glanced at the Snowy Night Emperor and said lightly, "What Your Majesty said is true. Let's watch the game. ”

Prince Xuexing, who was sitting in the second row, proudly said to everyone around him: "Look, Your Majesty and Gu Zun have already seen that there is no suspense in this game. Our Tiandou Royal Academy students are the true elite. And that's just the second team. This time we have only one goal for the home team, which is to win the championship. ”

The Royal Academy is in charge of him, and if he can get good grades, he will naturally have a bright face. Strange academy, he had long forgotten the words. As an Imperial Prince, what happened at the Royal Academy was just a small episode for him.

"I don't think so. Gu Zun just agreed that His Majesty had no suspense in this demon fight. It is not said who will win. ”

Hearing this different voice, Prince Xuexing suddenly looked in the direction from which the voice came from. It was none other than the head of the three teaching committees of the Royal Academy, the Eight Strongmen.

Prince Xuexing said coldly: "Education Commission, you don't want to be prestigious. You are the person directly responsible for the College. ”

He and the Education Commission have always been at odds with each other, but neither side can shake the other's position. Because of the strange things about the academy last time. The Education Committee once approached the Snowy Night Emperor to complain. But the Emperor of the Snowy Night was busy with official business, and his health was not very good. I didn't pay much attention to it. Prince Xuexing is his only younger brother, and he still has to trust his younger brother a little more.

Prince Xuexing didn't see who the students of the strange academy were, how could the education committee not see it. At a glance, he saw Luo Lan, who had left a deep impression on him at the beginning. When he saw that the Strange Academy was not the end of the Strange Seven Monsters, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. The dignified Royal Academy was unable to make the opponent go all out. However, what can he do? Almost every student of the Royal Academy has a background, and he can't rectify it if he wants to.

There are strong teachers and material conditions, but there are few outstanding disciples. If he hadn't received a great favor from the royal family, he wouldn't have wanted to continue to hold the position of this education committee a long time ago.

"The first game of the first round of the qualifiers has officially begun. ”

At the referee's suggestion, this announced the official start of the first qualifier of this year's Continent-wide Wizard Academy Elite Competition.

Somewhat similar to Demon Fighting, the tournament gives both sides one minute to turn on the magic attribute.

While staring at each other coldly, Meng Haoyu raised his hands in front of his chest. Shout.

When both sides released their attributes at the same time, and all the magic attributes were presented in the eyes of the audience, the sound of surprise suddenly spread in the audience.

The red flame flashed dazzlingly on Meng Haoyu's body, and Tyrone and Huang Yuan, who were standing beside him, also released their own bodies. The three fire attribute mages burst out with a strong aura, and in the face of the five people opposite, they were not inferior.

Chen Ziqian, Elf, and Suona. They also release the breath of fire and Yeosu. All six of them are optimally equipped.

The most surprising and even horrified thing for the audience was Luo Lan, who was in the center of the strange academy array. Two clusters of black and white flames appeared on his body at the same time, this breath, officially the ultimate double fire!

Black, originally the most inconspicuous color. However, anyone who knows even a little bit about magicians understands what that means.

Not only the audience stage, but also the VIP stage, at this time, it was also an exclamation. Who would have thought that in the first game of this qualifier. They actually saw the extreme attribute appear on the playing table.

Prince Snow Star shouted a little uncontrollably, "No. That's impossible. How can there be the ultimate attribute of the four statues. ”

The Education Committee closed his eyes in pain, "This should have been the glory that belonged to the Royal Academy. No wonder, no wonder they didn't even send all the main forces. ”

Even Gu Zun, who was already extremely optimistic about the Strange Academy, was also taken aback when he saw the extreme twin fires on Luo Lan's body. As the strongest supporter, how could he not know the difficulty of this? What a terrible gap!

Platinum Bishop Salas's originally slightly narrowed eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Luo Lan, although he was not as out of shape as the Prince of Snow Star behind him, but the hands on his knees were already clenched unconsciously.

"Extreme Attribute Four?" the Snowy Night Emperor's eyes flashed. A dazzling brilliance flashed from the bottom of the eye. "Gu Zun, it seems. You're optimistic about this team, right?"

Gu Zun's expression had returned to normal after a brief moment of surprise, although Luo Lan's extreme attribute had also set off turbulent waves in his heart, but at this time, he could barely maintain his composure. smiled indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, the little girl is also in this strange academy, but she didn't play in this game." ”

"Oh, then, this strange academy was cultivated by your sect?" said the Snowy Night Emperor with a smile. There was obviously a bit of joy in his eyes, and he was not worried about the second team of the Royal Academy meeting such a strong opponent. On the other side, the platinum bishop Salas's face was much more ugly. When Gu Long said that his daughter was in this team, he obviously told himself that the Vast Palace should not fight this team. And Gu Zun has always been friendly with the royal family.

Gu Long smiled slightly and said, "It can't be said that I have cultivated, it's just that the child with the ultimate attribute is also my child." Originally, they were supposed to join the Royal Academy, but unfortunately, they were driven away by His Royal Highness Prince Snow Star. Later, he joined another academy in Heaven Dou City, which was the predecessor of the current Strange Academy, the Lanba Academy. ”

"What?" Emperor Xueye was shocked in his heart, and he barely restrained himself from turning around to ask Prince Xuexing, but he immediately recalled in his mind that the Education Committee had complained to him, and his brows suddenly locked deeply.

After listening to Gu Long's words, Salas's expression recovered a little, and there was even a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes. Compared with the side of the Strange Academy, the second team of the Royal Academy is inferior, not because of how bad the quality is, but to be able to represent the Royal Academy, these students are also the best match. After all, with the powerful faculty of the Royal Academy, as well as the power of the nobles themselves, it was not too difficult to get the best match. It's a pity that none of the seven people on this stage at this time are a level forty magician. All three. When their eyes fell on Luo Lan and saw his restrained two-color flames, they couldn't help but shrink their pupils and became a little sluggish.

But this is a game, which is equivalent to the battlefield, and being stunned on the battlefield is a big taboo in itself. The opponent was stunned, strange that everyone would not. In terms of actual combat experience, the second team of the Royal Academy in front of him is not even comparable to Bronn and the others who joined after the strange side, let alone the students of the Strange Academy.

"Disease-" Luo Lan shouted. While the opponent was still in a stunned state, the seven had already launched an attack.

Meng Haoyu took the lead, and with the muscles of his whole body swelling, he rushed directly from the front with Bron and Ke Anyang. Sana and the elves also come out from the side at the same time. Chen Ziqian behind Luo Lan had a strange scepter in her hand at this time, the lower end of the scepter was slender, the upper end was thick, and there were some strange inscriptions carved on it, at this time, the magic power on her body flashed, and with a wave of her hand, she inserted the scepter into the ground in front of her, and an orange halo had quietly spread. It wasn't until Dai Mubai and the three of them launched a charge that the members of the second team of the Royal Academy reacted, and the petite male magician shouted angrily: "What are you stunned, do it." ”

The five people in front of the second team of the Royal Academy were all fire attribute magicians. The punch of this combination is obviously very strong. Although his reaction was a beat slower, he immediately reacted when he heard the petite man's shout, and greeted Meng Haoyu and the three of them viciously. In their opinion, although Meng Haoyu has six ranks, they have an advantage in numbers after all. The level of the five people has reached level 35 or above, and they will not suffer a loss against the three people on the other side. As long as the opponent's three main forces are defeated first, then victory is not far away.

It obviously made sense for the second team of the Royal Academy to have five fire attribute magicians at the front, in order to gain an advantage in the early stage of the first contact between the two sides.

It's a pity that they are up to Meng Haoyu, Meng Haoyu, whose magic power has reached level sixty-six. There is also Luo Lan, who is in the back of the formation, with black and white yin and yang fire.

The chief of the inner courtyard roared angrily, and at the moment before he was about to collide with his opponent, he did not have any reservations, and directly opened his own unique skill, the Fire God Transformation.

Bronn was simpler, and the skills on his body were activated at the same time, and he instantly turned into a violent orangutan with pure strength amplification.

Ke Anyang's special move is somewhat similar to Meng Haoyu's, but the increase is slightly inferior, and it is called Fire Possession. Instantly increases Attack and Speed by 50%.

It is strange that these three fire attribute magicians in the academy actually opened their own special skills and special skills as soon as they came up, which no one could have imagined. After all, if you use a magic skill that consumes so much as soon as you come up, once you are blocked by your opponent, there will be no follow-up.

But do the strange team members need a follow-up?

The dark light floated on Luo Lan's body, and he didn't even give the other party's mage a chance to make a move, the Djinn Flame Palm had already been activated.

The exclamations resounded throughout the audience, and some of the soul masters who were watching the battle even shouted out the most threatening ability, which appeared in this first qualifier.
