Douluo's Demonic Sword Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Spirit

Chapter 116 The Competition Begins

Tiandou Team 1 did not participate in the competition, they went directly to the arranged spectator seats. Team 2 was the last team to enter the venue among all the participating teams, because the protagonists were usually the last to appear, so Lin Yizhang deliberately waited for the other teams to enter before leading Team 2 to enter.

Walking into the stadium, I saw countless spectators shouting and cheering around the huge and open square.

Directly in front of the central venue is a rostrum with a golden background. Behind the rostrum is the renovated VIP area.

The diameter of the wide field is more than 150 meters, and the academies entering from the front have already formed a neat formation in the center of the field.

As each academy entered, a special emcee on the rostrum introduced them: "The last to enter is our Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2. Tiandou Royal Academy is the most resource-rich high-level spirit master academy in our Tiandou Empire. Look at how distinctive their exquisite and luxurious attire is. There are a total of eleven students participating in the competition. Their registration slogan is: The unique second team. Now please invite Tiandou Team 2 to the designated location."

Seeing that all the participating teams had arrived, the audience in the stands, which were decorated with silver backgrounds and could accommodate 80,000 spectators, burst into deafening cheers and shouts.

Lin Yizhang set his eyes on the VIP table. As described in the original novel, Prince Xuexing and the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy sat in the second row of the VIP seats. There were three people sitting in the first row of the VIP seats. The one in the middle was Emperor Xue Ye, the one on the right was Ning Fengzhi, and the one on the left was Saras, one of the four platinum bishops of the Spirit Hall.

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."

Emperor Xue Ye slowly stood up amid thunderous applause, raised his right hand, and waved towards the audience and the participating soul masters below. The applause quickly stopped and the huge square 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.”

The applause thundered again, and cheers came and went.

When the applause died down again, the emperor continued, "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. Show your brilliance for the glory of the empire."

Applause rang out for the third time, and this time, the eyes of the soul masters in the center of the competition venue released a burning light. For them, such a competition will be the best stage to showcase themselves.

In this lively and encouraging atmosphere, Lin Yizhang also became a little excited.

Emperor Xue Ye 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, "I am very happy to be invited to be the guest at the opening of this competition. As the head of the Qibao Glazed Sect, I have seen the growth experience of too many soul masters.

As the most noble profession on the continent, the development of every soul master has to go through many trials. But what I want to say is that the sword is sharpened by grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Those who participate in this soul master competition are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation. As your majesty just said, I hope you can win glory for the empire and for your own academy. The empire needs talents like you. Thank you. "

Listening to Ning Fengzhi's speech, a smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face.

The master of ceremonies said: "Sect Master Ning, you are the most powerful auxiliary soul master. I would like to ask you on behalf of the audience watching this game. Which of the twenty-eight teams participating in the Tiandou City Division Qualifiers are you optimistic about?" What about that one?"

Ning Fengzhi still had a smile on his face. "In addition to the Tiandou Royal Academy Team 1 that entered the finals as a seeded team, I am also optimistic about another team among the 28 teams this time."

Without waiting for the host to continue questioning, Ning Fengzhi sat back in his seat after he finished speaking.

Lin Yichang found that what Ning Fengzhi had just said was inconsistent with his memory. It seemed that he did not say that the team he was optimistic about had the ability to win the championship.

Lin Yichang guessed that Ning Fengzhi probably didn't think that Shrek Academy had a chance to win the championship of this Soul Master Competition. After all, the strength of the Shrek team without the magic grass was far inferior to that in the original book. Ning Fengzhi said that he was optimistic about a team probably to encourage Ning Rongrong and the Shrek team.

The MC continued, "Next, please invite the Master of the Spirit Temple of Tiandou City, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Temple, Lord Sarath, to draw the lots for the first round of the preliminaries.

After the draw, the Tiandou Royal Academy vice-team will compete against their opponents drawn in the first round. This will also be the only game of the day. "

Saras slowly stood up and walked to the MC under the guidance of the palace maid and began to draw lots. He handed over each pair of opponents to the MC to announce. "In the first round of the preliminaries, Canghui College will play against Zixing College."

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Oakland College faced off against Flame Glory College."

"..."

"The first round of the qualifying round, Tiandou Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy."

"..."

When Lin Yizhang heard that Tiandou Royal Academy was going to play against Shrek Academy, he smiled brightly. In the original novel, Shrek Academy crushed Tiandou Team 2 as soon as they appeared. Now Lin Yizhang also wanted to experience what it was like to crush Tang San's team in the first game.

After the draw, Sarath took the opportunity to make his recruitment announcement. He looked around the audience and said calmly, "I draw lots without falsehood. I swear on the honor of Spirit Hall. At the same time, I hereby announce that all the students from the Spirit Master Academy who can enter the finals will be allowed to join the Spirit Hall directly as an exception."

What is the Spirit Temple? It is the highest place in the Spirit Temple after the Pope's Palace and the Douluo Palace. There is only one in the capital of the two empires in the whole continent. The Pope's Palace is a place exclusively for the Pope. The Douluo Palace is a symbolic existence.

Therefore, the status of the Spirit Temple is actually the highest institution in the Spirit Temple. Being able to directly enter the Spirit Temple is a shortcut to improving strength for a spirit master. Not only does it have the best treatment, but also various training measures and the honor of the Spirit Temple are extremely attractive to ordinary spirit masters.

So the soul masters present at the scene were in an uproar at this time.

The MC said, "Okay, the first match of the first round of the preliminaries will be between Tiandou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy. All participating academies please leave the field, and the two academies that will compete later please get ready. The competition will officially begin in half an hour."

After returning to the competition area, Lin Yizhang announced the names of the players who would appear later. He had previously agreed with the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy that Lin Yizhang would be responsible for the competition arrangements during the competition, and the team leader arranged by the academy would only be responsible for drawing lots and handling some trivial matters.

Lin Yizhang said: "Later, I, Duguyan, Lin Yan, Xiao Dong, Lv Wen, Luo Jingting, and Hu Weixia will appear. The tactical arrangements are as follows..."

The current strength of the second team members is as follows:
Lin Yizhang, 14 years old, level 50, strong attack system, fighting soul sect.

Dugu Yan, 22 years old, level 52 control-type combat soul king.

Zhang Fan, 21 years old, level 57, strong attack type combat soul king.
