Douluo: Peerless Tang Sect’s Pure Lotus Burning Heaven

Chapter 116 Knockout

After announcing the start of the competition, Emperor Xingluo led the officials to retreat slightly. The seats had been arranged. He and the Queen took their seats and waved to the Prime Minister next to him.

The prime minister immediately understood and gave his subordinates the order to start the competition.

The loud voice from before suddenly sounded again: "According to the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the first round will be an elimination round. In this competition, there are a total of 130 senior soul master and soul master academies registered. "

"I'll ask the leading teachers from the participating colleges to come up and draw lots to determine the competition schedule."

Most of the contestants from the academy were secretly praying not to run into Shrek Academy or the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the first round of eliminations.

Soon, after drawing the lots, Wang Yan returned to the team with a calm expression.

"The opponent we drew in the first round is the Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Dou Ling Empire. According to the intelligence, there is no Soul King in this team. In other words, you only have to face seven souls. It’s just a sect, we have a bit of luck in drawing lots this time.”

Among all participating academies, only about one-tenth of the teams have students above the soul king cultivation level.Before the age of 20, there are only a small number of students whose soul power reaches level [-].

"Because we were the champions of the last competition, our game is the first one, which means we are going to play right away."

Ma Xiaotao said eagerly: "Then let's resolve the battle in one minute, just in time to let the world know that our Shrek Academy's reputation is not in vain."

Wang Yan shook his head with a smile and pushed up his glasses, "No, no, no, you don't have to go all out to solve an academy without a soul king. Going all out will only expose your intelligence."

Dai Yueheng frowned and said doubtfully: "Teacher Wang, what should we do?"

Wang Yan glanced at Wei Anyian with a strange smile, "Have you forgotten the match between the qualifiers and the main team?"

Ma Xiaotao said hesitantly: "Are you talking about An Nian's large-scale illusion soul skill?"

Wang Yan nodded, "Yes, and An Nian can control his martial soul very well and will not reveal his soul ring when he uses his soul skills. If we use this technique to deal with the enemy, our Shrek's intelligence will basically be useless." will be exposed.”

"So An Nian, are you sure?"

Wei Anyian nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, it's impossible for the seven soul sects to be stronger than the four inner academy seniors, right?"

At this moment, the loud voice sounded again.

"After drawing lots, one player will get a bye in the first round. A total of 66 games will be played. The first round is a knockout system. The loser will directly end the journey of this competition. Next, the first game will start immediately. The two sides of the game, They are the Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy representative team from the Dou Ling Empire, and the Shrek Academy representative team from the No. [-] academy in the mainland, which has countless honors and has won almost all competition championships in the past nearly a thousand years."

With the announcement made by the host of the competition, the atmosphere in the entire Star Luo Plaza suddenly boiled to its peak.

"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."

The voice calling Shrek Academy resounded almost every corner of the square.

The seven members of the main selection team had already reached the front of the team. Ma Xiaotao chuckled and patted Wei Anyian's shoulder, pouting at the cheering audience, "How are you, are you nervous?"

Wei Anyian asked without changing his expression: "Why are you so nervous?"

At this moment, the voice of the host of the competition sounded: "Let us first invite the players from the Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy to come on stage."

At the back of the player area, a group of pale-faced young players came out.When they walked out of the player area, they even looked a little shaky in their steps. Only one of the leading young men remained calm.

When Ma Xiaotao saw their appearance, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Look, this is our opponent. Did you notice that some people's calves are sifting through chaff?"

Wei Anyian ignored Ma Xiaotao, but stared closely at the captain of the Tianding Academy team. He sensed a strong dark energy in this young man.

"Okay, the members of the Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy have already appeared. At this moment of great attention, let us invite the first academy in the mainland, the true king of the academy, the Shrek Academy representative team to appear."

The prime minister's high-pitched voice pierced the clouds. In fact, if Shrek Academy had not been competing in the first round, he would not have come to host it in person.

Hearing Shrek's appearance, Xingluo Square suddenly turned into a sea of ​​cheers. The students from the Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy had just appeared. Although everyone present was in high spirits, most of the people who came to watch were not interested in the battle. They are very strange.

After all, this Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy comes from the Dou Ling Empire, and now this is the home ground of the Star Luo Empire.

But when it was Shrek Academy's turn, there were endless cheers and applause, forming a stark contrast.The name of Shrek Continental Number One Academy has long been resounding throughout the continent.The people of the Star Luo Empire may not know all about the advanced soul master academies in the country, but they have definitely heard of the name of the Shrek Academy.

Even Emperor Xingluo, who was sitting on the top of the city wall watching the battle, couldn't help but stand up, with a look of excitement on his face.

Because when he was still a prince, he studied in Shrek Academy under a pseudonym.

Ma Xiaotao led the rest of the main team and strode towards the competition stage.

One hundred and eight huge metal pillars were erected around the competition stage.Of course these are not decorations, but pieces of protective soul guidance equipment.

The combination of these one hundred and eight protective soul guides will form a huge soul guide shield that completely covers the entire competition stage.Prevent the soul skills from spilling out and destroying the Imperial City and Xingluo Square.

Behind each metal pillar stood a soul master of the soul king level, and one hundred and eight soul kings jointly presided over the protection of the competition stage.

The white-haired old man serving as the referee in the venue is even more powerful at the Soul Saint level.The dispatch of one Soul Saint and one hundred and eight Soul Kings at once made people marvel at the generosity of the Star Luo Empire.

In the cheers, everyone's breathing was a little rapid, and even their faces were a little flushed. Only Wei Anyian still had a lazy smile. He didn't look like he was participating in a competition, but more like a wealthy young man on a trip.

Seven people from both sides gathered in a corner of the competition stage, looking at each other from a distance.When the students from Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy saw Wei Anyian in Team Shrek, they couldn't help but be stunned.So young?
Xu Jiawei, who was already sitting on the throne, first praised Dai Yueheng, "This must be Dai Hao's eldest son. He really is a tiger father with no son." Then he saw Wei Anyian, who was obviously only 15 years old, with a look of astonishment on his face. , and then waved to the prime minister.

The prime minister on the side bowed respectfully to Xu Jiawei and said respectfully: "Your Majesty." Xu Jiawei pointed at Wei Anyian, and the prime minister said knowingly: "I will go get his information now."

The referee sent by the Star Luo Empire was already in place, making a gesture for both sides to step forward.

The referee said in a deep voice: "The first round, knockout round, team battle. Both sides can use most of the soul guides to compete. But during the battle, if one side admits defeat, the other side is not allowed to continue to attack. Soul guides cannot use fixed equipment Soul guides and other high-destructive equipment to fight. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Ma Xiaotao responded solemnly.

The captain of the Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy is that young man. He looks about 20 years old. Among the seven people on the other side, he is the only one with a relatively normal expression. He also agreed with Ma Xiaotao.

The referee nodded and said: "Okay, both sides retreat to the sides of the field. Listen to my order to start the game. Before I announce the start, no one is allowed to release the martial spirit in advance. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to lose."

The distance between the two sides gradually widened. In sharp contrast to the relaxed demeanor of everyone in Shrek, the nervous faces of the members of the Tianding Academy team were full of tension.

In the process of retreating, Ma Xiaotao whispered: "When the competition starts, we all retreat and let An Nian release his soul skills."

On the other side, the Tianding Academy team was also making final arrangements as they retreated.Soon, both sides reached the edge of the field.

The referee standing in the center of the field slowly raised his right hand.

The referee raised his hand, and the players on both sides immediately began to stand.At the same time, the [-] Star Luo Empire soul masters who had already prepared in the audience all pressed down on the metal pillar in front of them.

One hundred and eight metal pillars shone brightly at the same time, and suddenly, white lights shot up into the sky, drew arcs and converged into the air, and finally gathered in the air 20 meters above the top of the competition platform.

When all the rays of light gathered together, a layer of white light curtain suddenly swayed down, covering the entire competition stage.This also means that the first competition of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to begin.

On the side of Tianding Advanced Soul Master Academy, seven people quickly lined up in a typical traditional position.The three soul masters were in front, the captain stood in the middle, and next to them were two tall men. The three of them looked like they were of the offensive or defensive type.

The two soul masters on both sides slightly behind them should be of the agility and attack system.The two soul masters at the back and in the center were one behind the other.According to the traditional layout, they should be control system soul masters and auxiliary system weapon soul masters respectively.

It's just that not many people paid attention to the Tianding team. Almost everyone's eyes were on the Shrek Academy team.

Everyone looked at the wide competition stage with wide eyes. The sound of Xingluo Square, which contained tens of millions of people, suddenly became noisy.

They saw that all Shrek's team members had retreated, and only one young man with an outstanding temperament remained. His long, smooth black hair was fluttering in the wind, and there was no flaw on his delicate and handsome face. A few strands of white hair hung down on his face. On his chest, there was no wave in the pure black eyes, and he looked at the seven people opposite him calmly.

There was an uproar in the audience. At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team room, Ma Rulong frowned and looked at Wei Anyian on the stage. He turned to Xiao Hongchen beside him and asked, "Didn't you say that you know this Wei Anyian? Do you know him?" Information?"

The arrogance in Xiao Hongchen's eyes disappeared, and he almost went crazy, "How do I know? I just met him once."

He really likes to figure out other people's psychology, but Shrek's actions made him unable to figure it out at all.

"This is a knockout round! Isn't Shrek Academy afraid of being eliminated in the first round and making a huge joke?!"

Even the referee was a little dumbfounded.Those who can serve as referees for this competition are naturally high-ranking soul masters selected by the Star Luo Empire.

The organizer of each competition is a great empire. This is also the time when the country shows its national strength to these outstanding talents from various colleges, so it will naturally do its best.

But this referee has never seen a team fight with this formation!So much so that he forgot to lower his raised right hand.

Xu Jiawei waved to the prime minister with interest, and the prime minister immediately made a gesture to the referee.

Seeing the Prime Minister's gesture, the referee breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his raised right hand, and shouted: "The game begins." No matter what the formation is, for him, it is enough to ensure that the game goes smoothly.

Following the referee's loud shout, the students from the Tianding Academy team released their martial spirits almost at the same time.

The tall young men standing on both sides of the front row had green light all over their bodies, and their already tall bodies had crazy bulging muscles.

The biggest change was in their right arm. The muscles on the forearm seemed to be crawling, growing a shield that was also green in color.The shield is covered with layers of thick horn.

Their martial spirits are clearly black turtles.

Beibei in the audience joked: "Sanshi, these two people are not your relatives, are they?"

Xu Sanshi glanced at the two of them with disgust, "Mine is a Xuanwu, which is not the same species as a turtle."

At this moment, the captain who was guarded by them suddenly burst out with a dark red light, and even his eyes turned dark red. A pair of bat-like wings spread out behind him. With a strong slap, he was already Rushing into the air, there were five soul rings on his body, two yellow, two purple and one black, and the light flickered with extraordinary momentum.

When he released his martial spirit, his originally slender figure also changed and became burly.

The martial spirits of the four team members behind them were much simpler. They were all common weapons such as knives, swords, and staffs.

Seeing the captain of the Tianding Academy team, Wang Yan's eyes widened, "The information is wrong. Tianding Academy not only has a soul king, but also the soul king of the Demon King's martial spirit..."

Xu Sanshi looked at the Soul King flying in the sky and asked doubtfully: "With such rich dark energy and the Demon King's martial spirit, Teacher Wang, are you sure this person is not an evil soul master?"

Wang Yan coughed and said, "He should be from the Xiao family in Tianhun City. The Demon King's martial spirit is the inherited martial spirit of their family. Although it is a dark attribute martial spirit, its practice is not as harmful to the world as the evil soul master, and We are just like ordinary soul masters."

"But we don't have to worry about An Nian. After all, this soul king's combat power is at most about the same as that of our inner court disciples. An Nian should be able to deal with it easily."
