Chapter 153 Before the Finals

In the next competition, Chen Yan did not meet the princess of the empire, Dai Yun'er, as in the original novel. It was probably because Dai Tianling didn't want her to suffer, so he made some adjustments.

But these are all insignificant little things.

Chen Yan sat on the sofa, while Gu Yuena beside him was clinging to his arm.

Since Gu Yuena did not participate in the individual competition and was only a reserve member of the team competition, she was not allowed to come in. What's more, how could she be so blatantly kissing and kissing Chen Yan?

But, no one stopped him. After all, they were from Shrek's side, not the Star Luo Empire. They couldn't say anything and could only let him do whatever he wanted.

In the subsequent competitions, Wu Siduo and Li Mingxuan both made it to the finals. That is to say, among the top four, three were from Shrek Academy on the other side of the ocean. For a while, the Internet was in chaos.

"I told you, these academies in the empire are totally useless! They waste so many resources every year and still can't win the war. They'd better subsidize us!"

"That's right! Look at us civilians who don't earn much money all year round, yet the country still has to invest money in these useless schools every year. I really don't understand!"

"That's right. The number of talented soul masters depends on the number of soul masters. The larger the number of soul masters, the more talented soul masters there will be. Our Xingluo Continent cannot compare with Douluo Continent at all! We might as well develop soul guide technology!"

"Um, am I the only one who thinks Fang'er is pretty?"

"Finally someone said what I wanted to say!"

"+1"

"+2"

"+10086"

However, no matter how fierce the quarrels were online, they still came obediently during the competition.

In order to watch such a game up close, the people of the Star Luo Empire have been preparing for several months, from ticket sales to driving to the capital. They have endured so much hardship, they can't just not watch it.

Although there are still many people who hope that Monster Academy will win in the end, because this game is a matter of face for the entire Star Luo Empire, but this also shows that there is hope.

Even the ignorant citizens of the Xingluo Empire knew that the chances of winning were slim, and some experts in the empire were hyping that Monster Academy would definitely win.

The final four teams will face off, and the schedule for the semi-finals has been arranged. As expected, Long Yue did not face off against Chen Yan, but against Li Mingxuan, while Chen Yan faced Wu Siduo.

It can be said that the Xingluo officials took great pains for this, fearing that Long Yue and Chen Yan would not even make it to the finals, so they made such arrangements on purpose.

Wu Siduo didn't fight to the death this time. She knew her own strength. Even if she went on the field, the opponent would only show mercy, which would not help her train at all, so she decisively chose to surrender. Li Mingxuan fought with Long Yue for a while. The one-word battle armor plus the five rings were still very powerful. In order to save his information for the subsequent battle with Chen Yan, Long Yue directly summoned his own battle armor and tried to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible with the least soul skills!
As expected, Li Mingxuan vomited blood and fainted, but Long Yue's eyes also turned bloodshot, and there were sword marks all over his battle armor, and he almost lost control.

Individual competition finals.

The stadium was already full of people.

On the rostrum, early in the morning, the Emperor Dai Tianling, the Dean of the Monster Academy Enci, the head of the Douluo Continent delegation Tang Bingyao, and the Dean of the External College of Shrek Academy Cai Lao all sat here.

Old Cai had a calm expression. She had no worries about the battle. No matter how talented Long Yue was, she felt that he would not be as powerful as Chen Yan.

Especially since she had watched the fights several times, to be honest, at their age, she, Cai Yue'er, would not be a match for Long Yue, but she believed that Long Yue would not be a match for Chen Yan either!
"Silence." A deep and rich voice sounded, spreading throughout the venue through the soul guide loudspeaker, suppressing the voices of hundreds of thousands of spectators.

"Your Majesty, please speak now!"

Dai Tianling stood up slowly, maintaining his royal dignity while the soul guide loudspeaker naturally rose in front of him.

He looked at the audience around him and said with a smile.

"Every time I watch the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition, I feel like I'm back in my youth. I once worked hard in this competition and achieved impressive results. But now, I'm old, but the young people of the empire are still full of vigor and enthusiasm in this competition, and they are fighting hard for their goals."

“This is your passionate age. Being young means you can make mistakes, but you also don’t have to be afraid of failure. You just need to find your goal and move forward courageously.”

"I am honored to announce that we have invited the representative team from the distant Douluo Continent, which is also our former hometown - Shrek Academy to participate in this competition. Shrek Academy enjoys the reputation of 'the first academy on the Douluo Continent'. With a profound heritage of more than 20,000 years, they have cultivated countless outstanding talents. Today, I am very happy to witness the peak showdown between our Monster Academy's Long Yue and Shrek Academy's Chen Yan. Regardless of the result, this game will surely deepen the friendship between us and the Douluo Continent Federation. The winner of today's game will receive a soul bone as a reward, and will also receive a special award from the empire. If Long Yue wins, he will be directly named Viscount; if Chen Yan wins, we will provide rich resource rewards. Of course, if he is willing to join the nationality of our Xingluo Empire, he will also be given the title of Viscount."

Dai Tianling smiled and continued, "We in the Xingluo Empire welcome all outstanding talents! Now, I declare that the individual finals of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has officially begun!"

Applause and cheers rang out like thunder, which was the recognition of the people of Xingluo for this legendary emperor.

Dai Tianling smiled as he listened to the people's calls, secretly sighing that the people's hearts were worth using.

Cai Yue'er glanced at Dai Tianling. His approach was not wrong, but the gift was too little. For a person who obviously had a promising future, it seemed a bit insincere to just win him over. And I'm still sitting here, and you're poaching people right in front of me. It seems that you look down on our Shrek Academy!

Offstage, Chen Yan and Long Yue stood up almost at the same time. Both of them had no expression on their faces, but Long Yue looked more serious.

As the two men walked towards the competition stage, passionate music sounded. The sky above the stadium suddenly darkened, and two beams of light fell from the sky, landing on Chen Yan and Long Yue respectively, guiding them forward.

They stepped onto the competition stage at the same time, each standing on their own side, facing each other across five hundred meters.
