Chapter 101 Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition
Moon continued in a deep voice, "There is one more thing. After the Sea God Pavilion meeting today, all inner courtyard disciples must go to the Soul Guidance Department to order a defensive soul guide device. Anyone who objects will leave the academy."
"Yes." Hearing this, Xian Lin'er nodded.
In Shrek Academy, the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department have always been in an antagonistic relationship, with the Martial Soul Department having an absolute upper hand. The students in the inner courtyard have also inherited the pride of the Martial Soul Department, so almost all of them do not use soul guides.
In the eyes of the Wuhun system, only this kind of person can be considered the strongest soul master.
Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Teacher, the children in the inner courtyard don't seem to like using soul guides. Do you need to reconsider this matter? Besides, the martial soul department and the soul guide department have always been..."
Mu Lao glared at Yan Shaozhe and said angrily, "If the children had a few good defensive soul guides when they were attacked by the Sun Moon Empire Soul Guide Corps, would their injuries be less severe? Would the final outcome of Gong Yangmo and Yao Haoxuan be different?"
"The times are advancing, and soul guides are the product of the times. If you dare to refute me again, I will remove you from your position as the dean of the martial soul department."
Seeing that Elder Mu was angry, Yan Shaozhe was somewhat dissatisfied, but he could only nod respectfully and continued: "Teacher, the inner courtyard disciples suffered heavy losses this time. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to begin. Among the current disciples in the inner courtyard, only two are of the right age, but their abilities are a little lacking..."
"This matter concerns the glory of Shrek Academy for tens of thousands of years. I don't want to give up this competition unless it is absolutely necessary."
After hearing this, before Elder Mu could speak, Elder Xuan spoke first: "How about this, how about letting the disciples from the outer courtyard who are about to enter the inner courtyard participate in this fighting spirit competition? I will lead the team myself."
"The disciples from the outer courtyard who are about to enter the inner courtyard?" Yan Shaozhe shook his head. After a moment's silence, he said, "The strongest among them is only at the fourth ring. How can they possibly take on such an important task? I don't think they can."
After a moment of silence, Mu Lao said calmly, "How long will it take for the injured disciples in the inner courtyard to recover?"
Yan Shaozhe said: "Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng, and Ling Luochen have the lightest injuries, but it will take at least half a month for them to recover. Although Chen Zifeng has a broken arm, I have asked the Soul Guidance Department to make a prosthesis for him. It will take a month for him to fully recover from his injuries."
"The last surviving student is Xixi. It will take about a month for her to fully recover from her injuries. Although some of them are disabled, as long as they wear soul-guided prostheses, it should not affect their participation in the competition."
Elder Xuan said, "How about this? Let Wang Yan take the outer courtyard disciples to Xingluo Empire first. Ma Xiaotao and the others will recover in Shrek Academy. When the competition is about to start, I will take them over. It should be in time."
"At that time, the inner and outer court disciples will be mixed together. Although the combat effectiveness of the academy team will be reduced, it will not be to the point where we can't even gather seven people to play. What do you think of my idea?"
"Okay, let's do as Xuanzi said." Nodding, Moon En looked at Yan Shaozhe and said, "You should go to Gong Yangmo and Yao Haoxuan's families in person and do your best to relieve their sorrow."
"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe said respectfully.
...............
half a month later.
This year's All Continental High-level Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was held in the Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire, according to the rotation rules. The competition attracted a large number of floating population to Xingluo City, among which there were naturally many wealthy people, which meant a huge business opportunity. With such a huge influence, the grandeur and excitement of the competition itself can be imagined.
The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the final showdown between the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Shrek Academy.
But in the past few thousand years, no matter what the process was, the final result was the defeat of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the victory of Shrek Academy. This has even become a matter of great shame for all the people of the Sun Moon Empire.
This time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, with the expectations of the academy's top management, a team of fifteen people including a leading teacher and fourteen team members flew out of Mingdu and headed towards the Xingluo Empire in the east.
The speed of a flying soul guide is far beyond that of walking or riding a horse. In less than two days, Xiao Yan and his companions arrived in Xingluo City.
At first, Xiao Yan refused to participate in this kind of competition, but later Jing Hongchen learned that he was looking for a treasure that could restore his soul power, and promised that as long as he participated in the competition, he would give him the medicinal herbs that he had treasured for many years that could restore his soul power.
As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the largest city in the empire. It is also the political, cultural, and economic center of the Star Luo Empire. It has the title of the imperial capital that will never fall.
The Duke's Mansion where Xiao Yan lived since childhood is located in the suburbs of Xingluo City. Coming to participate in the competition this time can be regarded as a return to his hometown, but this has not affected his state of mind. In more than a year since leaving the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Yan has not only improved his cultivation strength, but his mind has also grown greatly.
Everyone calmly came to the accommodation arranged by the Star Luo Empire for the participating teams, which was said to be the Star Emperor Hotel run by members of the Star Luo royal family. After a little rest, they began to discuss plans to deal with the major teams.
Not only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, almost all the students who come to participate in the competition will live here. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is located on the top floor of the Star King Hotel, and next to them is the Shrek Academy team that came to participate in the competition. The two sides will be neighbors for a while.
Since arriving in Xingluo City, Xiao Yan has been living a secluded life. Apart from participating in some discussions within the team, he has been practicing alone in his room.
It was not until a few days before the competition that the Shrek Academy team finally arrived. As the biggest rival of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the relevant information about Shrek Academy was naturally already known by its team leader.
The teacher leading the team this time from the Sun Moon Empire is none other than its dean Jing Hongchen. He leads the team personally in order to prevent anyone from the Shrek Academy from secretly making a move in this competition and causing accidents to his students.
In previous competitions, students from Shrek Academy had repeatedly used the name of competition to kill talented soul masters from competing teams in team battles or individual competitions.
In addition to what happened not long ago, Jing Hongchen didn't dare to let other teachers lead the team. He only felt at ease if he came in person.
All members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team gathered in a room at the Star King Hotel. The team leader Ma Rulong told everyone what he had just seen and said, "The Shrek Academy team is here, but they only have seven members. They look like a reserve team of people under the age of fifteen."
"Do they think their reserve team can win the championship?" As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the players present. Xiao Hongchen even said directly: "This Shrek Academy is really arrogant. They dare to send the reserve team to lead the way. In previous competitions, they have injured many students from our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Don't let me get the chance this time, otherwise, I will make them taste the feeling of having their hands and feet broken."
"Haha." Hearing this, Jing Hongchen smiled faintly, slowly stood up, and explained to everyone: "They are not arrogant, but their regular players can't participate in the game at all. Even if they can participate, they will probably have broken arms and legs."
"Dean, what do you mean?" Hearing this, Ma Rulong said with a puzzled look on his face.
Jing Hongchen explained, "Do you remember the group of people who attacked Yan Xiao in Mingdu not long ago? The young soul masters around level 60 were the main force of Shrek Academy participating in this competition. When they escaped from Mingdu, they were intercepted by the Empire's soul guide army. According to reliable information, two of their seven main force members died and five were seriously injured. In this competition, we can finally avenge our previous defeat."
"According to the intelligence we collected about Shrek Academy, the reserve team of Shrek Academy can be clearly divided into two groups. Four of them are slightly older, and their cultivation base is all at the fourth ring, but it should not be higher than level 45. The other three look younger, about twelve or thirteen years old, and their cultivation base seems to be at the second ring."
“Two rings?” Upon hearing this, a member of the reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy finally couldn’t help but say, “Dean, the worst in our reserve team are all four rings, and Shrek Academy actually has two rings? How dare they use this team to lead the charge? It’s okay if they meet a weak team, but if they are unlucky and meet a strong team right from the start, they probably won’t make it past the first round…”
Waving his hands, Jing Hongchen said noncommittally: "You can't say that. After all, Shrek Academy has stood on this continent for thousands of years, and its foundation is also very strong. Who knows if they want to confuse us in this way? Underestimating the enemy is a taboo in military strategy. Let's wait and see after the game starts."
"The competition will start in two days. Just to be on the safe side, you guys should not go out at night."
"Yes, Dean." Hearing this, everyone nodded.
.........
A few days later.
In the early morning, when the first ray 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 distinctive armor, especially near Xinghuang Hotel, where there were thousands of soldiers stationed. The streets leading to Xingluo Square were under complete martial law, and only the participating teams from each academy who walked out of Xinghuang Hotel were allowed to pass.
On this special day, Xiao Yan also got up early, sat cross-legged on the bed to rest, and after practicing for an hour, he slowly opened his eyes when his physical condition reached its peak.
"Mother, I'm back, back to the place where you suffered so much. Your spirit in heaven please watch over me, and give me some more time..." Xiao Yan twisted his body lazily, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately got out of bed, walked out of the room, and saw Jing Hongchen standing at the door.
"Are you up?" Looking at Xiao Yan who pushed open the door and walked out of the room, Jing Hongchen yawned and said with a tired look.
"Old sir, you didn't sleep all night?" Xiao Yan asked when he saw this.
Shaking his head helplessly, Jing Hongchen curled his lips and said, "Two of the main players from Shrek Academy who participated in this competition died and five were seriously injured in the Sun Moon Empire. With their vengeful character, I have to be on guard."
"Okay, it's almost time. Everyone else has already gone downstairs. Let's go to the competition venue." Raising his hand and patting Xiao Yan's shoulder, Jing Hongchen turned around and went downstairs towards the street, and then Xiao Yan quickly followed.
The venue for this year's All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was not built in the center of Xingluo Square, but in front of the main gate of the Imperial City. In this way, the nobles of the Xingluo Empire could watch the battle directly from the top of the Imperial City, which not only had the best view, but was also safe and worry-free.
The competition stage used in the competition is one hundred meters long and wide, with one hundred and eight metal pillars erected around it. When these defensive soul guides are activated together, they will form a huge defensive light shield that completely covers the competition stage, preventing the power of any soul skills in the competition from spilling out, but it will not affect the viewing of the competition by everyone.
Ten minutes later, the Emperor of Xingluo Empire and the Queen ascended the Imperial City together, and the team members from various academies below bowed in greeting.
After a brief speech by His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister of the Xing Luo Empire personally presided over the opening ceremony. As the opening ceremony progressed, the first battle of this competition was about to take place amid cheers.
Then, a loud voice resounded in the ears of everyone present: "The first match of this competition will be between the Shrek Academy team and the Battle Spirit Empire Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team."
With this announcement from the host of the competition, the atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Square suddenly boiled to its peak.
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."
The shouts of Shrek Academy resounded from almost every corner of the square.
Faced with such a situation, the seven members of the reserve team of Shrek Academy who were about to play were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and everyone's face turned pale for a moment. There were hundreds of thousands of spectators! If...if they lost this game and Shrek Academy was eliminated, they could not imagine that situation at all.
There are a total of 133 academies participating in the competition this time. The first round of the preliminary competition is directly a knockout round. In other words, whoever is unlucky enough to draw a strong enemy will be eliminated directly if he loses the first round.
The first round of the game was a team battle of seven versus seven.
After the first round, the teams will be grouped. Each group will have about nine teams, and a round-robin tournament will be held. During the round-robin tournament, a random system will be adopted. There are three types of random systems. One is a single elimination system, the second is a three-two-two coordinated operation, and the third is a seven-on-seven team battle.
Every match will be drawn and then the match will be played.
