Chapter 77 What a bad fate!
There were several familiar faces in the VIP seats, one of which was Dugu Chen's good friend Xue Qinghe.
Beside him sat the three major education committee members and a man who looked to be in his fifties and dressed in gorgeous clothes. He was Prince Xuexing, who had met him once before. He looked much older than a few years ago.
These five people were only sitting in the second row of the VIP seats.
There were three people sitting in the first row in front of them, one of whom was also an old acquaintance of Dugu Chen, the leader of the Eight Treasures Glazed Sect, the world's number one sect, Ning Fengzhi.
As for the one in the middle, who else could Ning Fengzhi sit in the side seat except the helmsman of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye.
On the left of Emperor Xue Ye sat an old man who was even older than him. His
whole body was covered in a bright red robe, with a five-pointed white gold crown on his head, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
His shoulders were narrow and his body was long and thin like a javelin. He was the agent of the Spirit Hall in the Heavenly Dou Empire and one of the four platinum bishops of the Spirit Hall.
The emcee on the side of the VIP stand said loudly: "Next, please invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire to announce the opening of this competition."
Emperor Xue Ye, wearing a red-gold robe, slowly stood up amid thunderous applause.
With a slight push of his left hand, the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience instantly quieted down.
Emperor Xue Ye's voice spread throughout the audience through the amplifying soul guide.
"I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire, on behalf of the Heavenly Dou Empire and the organizer of this competition, announce that the Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is now open."
The applause was thunderous again, and cheers rose and fell.
When the applause died down again, the emperor continued.
"Here, I hope that all the soul masters participating in this competition can give full play to their strengths and achieve good results. You are all young talents, the hope of the future of the entire soul master world, and the pride of the Tiandou Empire. For the glory of the empire, show your brilliance."
After Emperor Xue Ye finished his speech.
The emcee turned his eyes to Ning Fengzhi: "Next, please invite the leader of the Eight Treasures Glazed Sect, Mr. Ning Fengzhi, to give a speech."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, slowly stood up and said: "I am very happy to be invited as a guest at the opening of this competition. I have seen too many soul masters grow up. Strong soul masters undoubtedly grow up in constant tempering.
Those who can come to participate in this soul master competition are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation. I hope you can get more gains besides victory through this competition."
Among the VIPs in the first row, Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi have already spoken.
In the eyes of the young soul masters and countless spectators present, it should be the turn of the old man on the left of Emperor Xue Ye to speak next.
But unexpectedly, the old man directly opened the process of drawing lots.
Platinum Bishop Salas slowly stood up, and walked to the side of the emcee under the guidance of the palace maid, and began to draw lots.
Salas seemed unwilling to talk nonsense, and the emcee announced all the drawn lots.
"In the first round of the preliminaries, Canghui Academy will play against Zixing Academy."
"In the first round of the preliminaries, Tiandou Royal Academy will play against Shrek Academy."
Dugu Chen's expression was a little strange when he heard that Shrek Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy were still facing each other.
What a bad fate!
At this time, the Snow Night Emperor on the stage looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him and asked: "Master Ning, what is the strength of this Shrek Academy?"
Ning Fengzhi heard this and said lightly: "Shrek Academy is the former Blue Tyrant Academy. Their strength should be ranked in the middle and lower in the competition!"
Hearing that the opponent's strength was not very good, Emperor Xue Ye's expression eased a little. His family knew his own business. After all, this was the first game, and he didn't want Tiandou Royal Academy to lose too badly.
He knew what Tiandou Royal Academy was like, but he had no way to change it. But in his opinion, no matter how bad the second team was, it would not be worse than an academy that only accepted civilian soul masters!
Tiandou Team: Oh! Your Majesty thinks too highly of us! Let's open your eyes today!
When Shrek Academy heard that they were going to play against Tiandou Academy, they also looked solemn.
They didn't know what the second team was like, so they could only speculate from the first team. They thought it was also a strong opponent.
Looking at the solemn expressions of the Shrek people, Qin Ming was a little surprised. Is the second team strong?
"What's wrong with you?"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his palms nervously, "Brother Qin Ming, Tiandou Team! This is Tiandou Team!"
"Yeah! What's wrong? It's just Team 2--"
"Don't use the strength of Team 1 to measure the strength of the major academies. They can be said to be the strongest since the founding of Tiandou. In previous years, Team 1 was the main force, and Team 2 was just a team composed of some Soul Masters."
Seeing the reason for the tension of several people, Qin Ming explained with a smile.
If all the talents in Tiandou Academy were as talented as Team 1, the Tiandou Empire would have unified the continent long ago.
Tang San and the other two froze. Is that so? It turns out that Team 2 is the leftovers of Team 1.
Hearing that the other side is all Soul Masters, the three regained their confidence. Now the main force of Shrek Team has three Soul Masters and four Soul Masters. With the help of Tang San, Tai Long barely entered the Soul Master. With Tang San and Dai Mubai, they are full of confidence this time.
Their lineup is not inferior to the five major elemental academies at all. They are heading for the finals.
"Let's go together for the first match! Finish the fight as soon as possible and make Shrek famous."
Dai Mubai clapped his hands together, his eyes flashing with ferocity. He wanted to let out all the depression in his heart.
An invisible murderous aura quietly spread with Tang San and Dai Mubai as the center.
With the announcement of the host, fourteen people from both sides appeared on the ring.
It must be said that the players of Tiandou Royal Academy looked quite good. They were all heroic and brave, and they immediately surpassed the strange-looking Shrek.
"What a bunch of toads. They come to participate in the soul master competition like this?" Standing at the front of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy was a petite boy.
"Captain, how could we be drawn to such an opponent? Look at their academy logo, it's so funny." A girl with a gorgeous chest next to the petite boy covered her mouth and nose and whispered.
Regardless of the strength, the mocking effect of this taunting technique is indeed full, worthy of being trained in Tiandou Academy.
The seven Shrek people were obviously enraged, and their faces were fierce.
"The first round of the first qualifying match has officially begun."
At the signal of the referee, the first qualifying match of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition officially began.
