Chapter 173 An exhibition match that no one cares about. The person on the emperor’s right is Ning Rongrong’s father, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi wore a white robe today and a seven-treasure purple gold crown on his head, which symbolized his identity. As one of the top three leaders of the seven major sects, he was fully qualified to sit in this position. As for the red-robed man on the other side, he was the platinum bishop of the Spirit Hall. The supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly the Pope. Under the Pope, there are four bishops, whose status is symbolized by a five-pointed platinum crown. The man in front of him is undoubtedly one of the platinum bishops, the master of the Spirit Hall of Tiandou City, and his status is extremely noble. He was also Bishop Sarath who had been the cameraman for Qian Renxue in the Spirit Hall and filmed the scene of "Tang Yuehua Surrendering to the Enemy" with an earnest look on his face. The master of ceremonies on one side of the VIP table said loudly: "Now, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire to announce the opening of this competition." Sitting in the center of the first row of the VIP seats, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, wearing a red-gold robe, stood up slowly amid thunderous applause. He raised his right hand and waved lightly to the audience and the participating soul masters below. The applause quickly stopped, and the square of Nuo University became silent. A calm and resonant voice spread throughout the audience through the loudspeaker soul guide, "I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire and on behalf of the organizer of this competition, announce the Pan-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition Opening now.” It was a very simple opening remark, without any unnecessary nonsense or high-sounding formalities. The older Xue Ye got, the less willing he was to waste his time.
The applause was thunderous again, and cheers rose one after another. This grand event was held every five years, and even the elderly emperor could not help but feel excited about this competition. When the applause fell silent again, His Majesty 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 the pride of the Tiandou Empire, For the glory of the empire, show your glory." Applause rang out for the third time. This time, the eyes of the soul masters in the center of the competition venue were filled with burning brilliance. For them, such a competition would be the best stage for them to show themselves. His Majesty the Emperor sat back down, and the master of ceremonies' voice sounded again, "Now, I would like to invite Mr. Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Qibao Glazed Sect, to give a speech for this competition." As Ning Fengzhi stood up, applause appeared again, and more attention was paid to him. As the number one auxiliary soul master in the soul master world, who wouldn't want to see his style. Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and pressed his hands together, "I am very happy to be invited as the guest of honor for the opening ceremony of this competition. As the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, I have seen too many soul masters grow up. As the noblest profession on the continent, the development of every soul master must go through many trials. Those who participate in this soul master competition are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation. As your majesty said just now, I hope you can win glory for the empire and your own academy. The empire needs talents like you." Listening to Ning Fengzhi's speech, a sincere smile appeared on the face of the Emperor of Tiandou Empire. "Ah." Sitting next to Emperor Xue Ye, the platinum bishop who had been slightly closed before opened his eyes at this time. His eyes looked very turbid and without any brilliance. He sneered disdainfully and looked at the 32 participating teams in the venue. What's the point of these teams fighting hard? The real champion has long been destined. Emperor Xue Ye glanced at the sneering Saras with a puzzled look. The people in the Spirit Hall were becoming more and more arrogant! "Does Bishop Sarath have a different opinion from Sect Leader Ning?" Sarath said calmly: "How can this small-time team compare with the peerless geniuses of my Spirit Hall? When they see the real geniuses, they will understand how cruel this world is." "Hmm? Then that's! Her!" Sarath suddenly stopped talking, stood up in shock, and his face turned red. Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye, who sat back in their seats, looked at Sarath with some surprise at his strange reaction. "What happened to Bishop Sarath?" The emcee saw Sarath suddenly standing up and rushed to save the situation. "It seems that Lord Sarath is just as impatient as our audience! Next, Lord Sarath, the master of the Spirit Temple of Tiandou City and the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Temple, will draw the lots for the first round of the preliminaries. After the draw, the vice-team of Tiandou Royal Academy will compete against their opponents drawn in the first round. This will also be the only game today." Platinum Bishop Salas took a deep breath, then, led by the palace maid, walked to the master of ceremonies and began to draw lots. He seemed reluctant to speak, and each time a pair of opponents was drawn, he handed it to the master of ceremonies to announce. "In the first round of the qualifiers, Oakland College faced off against Flame Glory College."
"." "In the first round of the preliminaries, the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy will face Canghui Academy." After he got a note, he immediately pushed away the host who wanted to read it and said loudly: "In the first round of the preliminaries, Blue Tyrant Academy vs. Purple Star Academy." "." Except for Xingluo Royal Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy, which were destined to have a bye in the first round, the remaining thirty teams have all been assigned opponents. After the draw, the platinum bishop Salas looked around the audience and said calmly, "I hereby announce that all the students from the Spirit Master Academy who can enter the finals will be allowed to join the Spirit Holy Temple as an exception!" As soon as these words came out, the audience didn't think anything of it, but the soul masters in the venue were already in an uproar. What kind of existence is the Spirit Temple? It is the highest place after the Pope's Palace and the Douluo Palace's Wuhun Palace. There are only one in the capitals of the two major empires in the entire continent. The Pope's Hall is the exclusive place for the Pope, and the Douluo Hall is a symbolic existence. Therefore, the status of Wuhun Temple is actually the highest level institution in Wuhun Temple. Being able to directly enter the Spirit Temple is a shortcut for a spirit master to improve his strength. Not only does he have the best treatment, various cultivation methods and the honor of the Spirit Temple, they are all very attractive to ordinary spirit masters. After hearing the words of the platinum bishop, Emperor Xue Ye's face obviously darkened. Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, gently shook his head at the emperor, and Emperor Xue Ye's face eased a little. "Okay, then the first match of the first round of the preliminaries will be between Tiandou Royal College and Canghui College. All participating colleges please retreat to the rest area under the stage. The two colleges that will compete later please get ready. The competition will officially begin in half an hour." Since today is the opening ceremony, the staff specially built a rest area under the stage so that the audience can see the contestants from various colleges, and also allow the contestants to sit closest to the stage and observe their opponents. There is a shed near the competition stage, which is the VIP lounge area for the strong teams. It can accommodate about twenty teams. These seats will only be provided to the participating teams from top colleges. The rest area of Blue Bully Academy is located in the fourth one, and it seems that the seats are arranged according to the combat power on the filled-in form. "let's go." Qian Renxue had no interest in the fight between the newbies on the stage later, and it was not the Exotic Beast Academy competition that she was interested in, so she sat on the sofa in the pergola for a while and wanted to get up and take everyone away. Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Ah? Captain, aren't we going to watch the game?" Qian Renxue glanced at Yu Tianheng and said calmly, "The Tiandou Royal Academy is really too idle to do anything. They want the benefits of a bye for the seeded team, and they also want the second team to show off a game alone to save face. If you don't know, you would think this is the finals. They are just a bunch of useless trash. What's so good about it?" Although Qian Renxue's voice was not loud, it was the preparation time for the players from both teams to play, and every player sitting in the rest area could hear it clearly. Furthermore, there was no one on the stage now, so the soul guides and loudspeaker devices that were constantly broadcasting were naturally directed at the beautiful-looking and sweet-voiced contestants below the stage. She was completely looking down on Tiandou Royal Academy in front of everyone. The audience was in an uproar. No matter whether they were contestants from the Four Elements Academy or the Xingluo Royal Academy, all of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. My goodness, she was too arrogant. Even though they thought so in their hearts, at least no one dared to say it so blatantly. There were still people in many colleges who were dissatisfied with why their colleges did not have a canopy. When they saw Qian Renxue stand up, some people immediately reacted and said, "That's right! At worst, we can just stop watching and go back to the college. There is no competition today anyway." The second team of Tiandou Royal Academy is a useless team composed of playboys. Why waste time here? As the students from Blue Tyrant Academy left, the veiled woman from the Exotic Beast Academy looked deeply at Qian Renxue's figure. The veiled woman ignored the warnings that came to her ears. "Since she's not here, let's go too." Then the veiled woman pulled the cat woman and led the team members away. Now everyone's attention shifted to Yu Tianheng, the captain of Tiandou Royal Academy. How could Yu Tianheng not be angry at such an insult to Tiandou Royal Academy? The uniform of Tiandou Royal Academy is very gorgeous. The word "Tiandou" is embroidered on the left chest of the light gold uniform, and there is a pattern of seven silver stars on the back, which is the symbol of the Tiandou Empire. Although it is daytime, they leaning on the sofa seem to be releasing dazzling brilliance, like little golden suns, attracting the audience's attention.
Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, and his originally unfocused eyes became somewhat gloomy. Yu Tianlin, this guy, hadn't seen him for so long, and he didn't even come to say a word to him! He was her brother! What was so good about Wu Yu! He glanced at the angry team members around him. The team member who was throwing fruits up and down was so scared that he trembled all over and didn't catch the fruits. Yu Tianheng said calmly: "She's not wrong. Aren't they just a bunch of trash who only have good looks? Can they take my punch?" The somewhat hoarse voice gives people a strong sense of oppression. Yu Tianheng picked up the fruit on the ground and threw it to the deputy captain whose name he was too lazy to remember. He put his hands in his pockets, left the other members of the Tiandou Royal Team behind and walked out. "Captain! Wait for us!" Seeing Yu Tianheng leaving, the rest of the team members immediately followed. The deputy captain followed behind him and muttered in his heart, "I can't even take a punch from you, let alone those guys who came to the academy to gain experience." Only many academy members with different expressions were left. After thinking about it, except for some captains who were less courageous who stopped them, many team members also left the spectator seats directly. Instead of watching the performances of these noble children, it would be better to cram and go back to practice soul power. Most of the students who came from the sects did not look down on the nobles. They had a lot of resources, but their strength was quite weak. In the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition, strength is ultimately what counts. Most of the team members in the audience had left, and the arena that had been prepared long ago was finally set up. The ring was ten meters high, circular, and thirty meters in diameter. It was a very large area. Of course, this was just one ring. When the preliminaries actually begin tomorrow, there will be five arenas here at the same time. In addition to the two teams that have a bye in each round, the thirty teams will have twenty-nine rounds of preliminaries, and each team will have to face twenty-nine opponents. A win earns one point, while a loser gets no points. After twenty-nine rounds, the top five teams in points will advance to the promotion round. VIP seats. Emperor Xue Ye looked at the few people on the ring with an unpleasant expression on his face, and said to Ning Fengzhi beside him: "Sect Master Ning, these students are too arrogant! They don't even know how to maintain their own academy!" He seemed to be complaining to Ning Fengzhi, but in fact he was putting pressure on the three education committee members below. Look at the students you have brought up! He didn't know how to defend his own academy when it was ridiculed! In front of so many people, where would he put his face? Ning Fengzhi was a seasoned man, and he knew all about this kind of thing. He also did a favor for the Tiandou Education Committee. He sighed and said enviously: "Your Majesty, geniuses are always different. Yu Tianheng's name is well-known to me. If my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can also have such a genius, let alone fame, I would not trade it for any benefits." When Emperor Xue Ye heard that Ning Fengzhi envied him, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. When he thought of Yu Tianheng's fourth ring of ten thousand years, the light in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes flashed constantly. In the end, he still couldn't bear to give it up. "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty. Tian Heng's kid is not a bad person. It's just that because of his past experiences, he has always looked down on those students who are not strong and don't work hard. Tian Heng is just standing up for his friends!" The person who spoke was none other than the head of the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy, Soul Fighter Meng Shenji. Meng Shenji was of medium build, very thin, and looked like he had very little flesh on his body. When he spoke, his voice was a little shrill, but not unpleasant, giving people a very friendly feeling. His hair and beard were all white, and although he was thin, he was very energetic, but at this moment he looked bitter. "Oh? To fight for justice? What do you mean?" Emperor Xue Ye asked with some dissatisfaction, is it important to save his face to defend the weak? If they dare to lose his face today, what will they do tomorrow? Emperor Xue Ye dare not even think about it! Meng Shenji said with some sadness: "Tian Heng originally formed a team, the Royal Fighting Team! Although their soul power levels have just broken through the third ring, and some even have the second ring, they can defeat the Tian Dou Team II across levels in actual combat!" "It's just sad that the Tiandou team's qualification to play is not based on strength, but on age, seniority, and soul power level. Apart from Tianheng's soul power level, none of his partners can play with him." Tiandou Royal Academy has a strong faculty and material conditions, but few outstanding disciples. If he had not received great favor from the royal family, Meng Shenji would have long wanted to stop serving as the education committee member. Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye fell silent. He had no way to deal with this kind of thing. Almost every student of Tiandou Royal Academy had a background, and he could not reorganize it just because he wanted to. If he really drove these noble elders out, what if they thought he wanted to settle accounts with them and rebelled first? Emperor Xue Ye murmured to himself, "So, it's still my fault?" Saras laughed secretly on the side, it's just that you, old man, are useless. You dare not do this or that, and you will be overthrown sooner or later.
"It is not your Majesty's fault. It is my fault that I am useless." "Alas, I have wronged you and Tianheng." It was another scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects that made Sarath feel sick. Emperor Xue Ye's complexion recovered and he continued, "Tian Heng is the pillar of our empire and has a noble character, but the captain of Lan Ba Academy is arrogant and spoiled. I would like to trouble Meng Shen Ji's education committee to make sure that Team Tian Heng defeats them to enhance our country's prestige!" Upon hearing this, Saras got angry on the spot. "Xiao Xiao Xue Ye, you are so bold! Can you mess with the Highness of our Spirit Hall?" Sarath said disdainfully: "Your Majesty's soul power level is relatively weak, and you can't see the trick. The captain of Blue Tyrant Academy is no ordinary genius, how can an ordinary person defeat him!" Emperor Xue Ye's face turned black. Salas was mocking him directly, saying that his soul power level was only in the forties. "Haha, Bishop Sarath knows so much about this, why don't you explain it to us tomorrow?" Sarath sighed, looking helpless. "Alas, I'm afraid that even if I tell you, Your Majesty won't understand! Everyone has different understandings." "you!" An old man in white suddenly appeared behind Ning Fengzhi. Di Tian tilted his head and glanced at him. Although his aura was not as strong as that of the blonde woman, he was not weak among humans. The old man in white first nodded to Di Tian, as if he could see that he was also a Titled Douluo-level warrior, and then whispered something in Ning Fengzhi's ear. "What? Uncle Jian! Are you serious?" The old man in white nodded with joy, looking towards the exit of the fighting spirit arena from time to time. Seeing the old man in white, Emperor Xue Ye immediately became alert. This old man is known as the most powerful Titled Douluo in the world! Xue Ye asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty Sword Douluo has appeared. Sect Master Ning, is there something urgent that the sect needs to deal with?" "Haha, it's an urgent matter, and also a good thing!" Ning Fengzhi laughed out loud, a rare laugh, and his usual elegant demeanor was gone. "Your Majesty, you may not know that although Uncle Jian's swordsmanship is unrivaled, he has never been able to find a swordsman who meets his expectations! The blonde girl just now may be very young, but she already has a very sharp sword spirit!" "For Uncle Jian to sense the sword intent, her martial soul must be of a very strong sword martial soul, and Lan Ba Academy is a well-known civilian academy. Uncle Jian has found the next successor to Kang Ding for my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! Tell me, should I be happy?" Emperor Xue Ye's tone became much weaker, "Ah? From Blue Tyrant Academy?" Jian Douluo has taken a fancy to her, so now he doesn't even dare to make things difficult for Blue Tyrant Academy, right? Two more updates, brothers. (End of this chapter)
