Chapter 198: First Round of the Competition

The sky was already bright at this time, and the morning sun rising from the east fell on everyone, as if it had given all the contestants a layer of gold.

There were so many teams participating in the competition that it took them half an hour to get seated. The noisy voices from the people in the distance could be heard continuously.

"Look, what is that?" Jiang Nannan's voice attracted Huo Yuhao's attention.

Under the rostrum on the north side, a team of special soldiers were approaching quickly. These soldiers were all wearing golden uniforms, but they were not equipped with any weapons.

With Huo Yuhao's eyesight, he could even see their expressions clearly. These golden-clad guards looked to be at least thirty years old, and each of them was introverted, with obvious fluctuations in soul power.

The team of about five hundred people made no sound as they moved forward. The morning sun shone on them, and the golden light shone very dazzlingly.

After these people came to the bottom of the rostrum, they immediately dispersed and surrounded the rostrum. About fifty of them stood still, and amid a clanging sound, soul guide cannons appeared one after another, with the muzzles pointing outward in unison.

The other golden-clad guards also released different soul guides, forming strange formations.

Among them, about ten heavy artillery pieces attracted Huo Yuhao's attention the most.

In his opinion, these heavy artillery are at least at the level of seventh-level soul guides or above.

He Caitou murmured, "The Royal Soul Instructor Group is one of the real core forces of the Sun-Moon Empire."

Bu Jinghong naturally heard what He Caitou said, but he didn't care about it.

To him, this so-called Royal Soul Instructor Corps was nothing more than a slap in the face.

The gap between gods and mortals cannot be calculated by reason. Especially since Bu Jinghong became a god by destroying the rules.

His divine power is filled with the power of killing and destruction.

However, Bu Jinghong also knew why He Caitou had this reaction when he saw the Royal Soul Instructor Group of the Sun Moon Empire.

Because he was originally the nephew of the current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire.

This shameless fellow, for his own ambition, killed the emperor and seized the throne. He killed the previous emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, who was also his own elder brother.

Not only that, he also killed his eldest sister-in-law, the former queen of the Sun Moon Empire, and his three unmarried nieces.

Only He Cai Tou escaped because he was stuffed into a secret passage by his mother.

In other words, the current Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, is actually He Caitou's cousin.

But Xu Tianran and his son are of the same character and are both expansionists.

Since Xu Tianran's father's generation, they have been in contact with the evil soul masters and the bastards of the Holy Spirit Church.

If this were not the case, Xu Tianran's father would not have been able to mobilize an evil soul master with a Titled Douluo to kill the previous emperor, He Caitou's father.

However, so many years have passed now, and the ambitious man who wanted to kill the king and seize the throne is now old and often bedridden.

However, it is not known whether his good sons, especially the current crown prince Xu Tianran, were involved in this.

At this time, a group of people had arrived in the distance, escorted by the Royal Soul Instructor Corps, and came to the bottom of the rostrum. The carriages and horses of this group were completely golden, and in the front was a dragon chariot that looked like a small palace, pulled by 32 horn-scaled horses. Behind it followed the guards and a large number of officials of the Sun and Moon Empire who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and official uniforms.

The dragon chariot stopped in front of the rostrum, and two maids standing on it lifted the curtain embroidered with silver lotus patterns. Then, a wheelchair was pushed out, and a handsome young man sat on it.

And this person is none other than Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Only the emperor can ride the dragon chariot! What it means for Xu Tianran to openly ride the dragon chariot is already obvious.

Bu Jinghong raised his eyes and looked behind Xu Tianran, at the woman in palace dress pushing the wheelchair.

That should be the orange that stole Huo Yuhao's seeds in the original novel.

Bu Jinghong was also speechless. To be honest, it would be fine if Ju Zi really liked Huo Yuhao, but the problem was that she didn't.

She took advantage of Huo Yuhao's feelings, betrayed him, attacked the Xingluo Empire, and started a war again. From the beginning to the end, this woman's fundamental purpose was to use Huo Yuhao for revenge. There might be feelings, but not much.

Strictly speaking, Bu Jinghong had no good feelings towards this woman.

To be honest, the fact that Wang Dong chose to go back to the God Realm with Tang San instead of slapping the woman to death can only be attributed to the fact that Wang Dong'er has too good a temper.

Others may not have the position to take action, but Wang Dong'er is an exception.

Just as Bu Jinghong was lost in thought, recalling the bloody love triangle in the original novel, Juzi had already pushed Xu Tianran into a soul guide elevator. Jing Hongchen and the other four old men followed him up the elevator. As the elevator rose, the people in the distance could see their young regent. Cheers suddenly rang out one after another. This prince seemed to be very popular.

Naturally, the ministers did not have the privilege of using the elevator, and they climbed up the platform along the steps on the side of the rostrum.

Xu Tianran's arrival also means that this continent's elite competition for young advanced soul masters is about to begin.

Ju Zi pushed Xu Tianran to the center of the podium. She did not sit down, but stood beside Xu Tianran. The Regent Princess did not sit down, and the other ministers who came up breathlessly naturally did not dare to sit down either, and all stood on the podium.

Xu Tianran nodded to Orange.

Orange slowly stepped forward and came to the soul amplifier that had been prepared. Her beautiful voice quickly spread throughout the audience.

"Silence." A deep voice suddenly sounded, and a strong pressure instantly spread throughout the venue.

The moment this voice appeared, everyone except Bu Jinghong felt a darkness in front of their eyes, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on their heads, and even their breathing became rapid.

All the discussions disappeared in an instant with this low voice. The entire competition venue and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the viewing area suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

What kind of strength is this? It can actually produce such a terrifying pressure!

Bu Jinghong was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look up at the other person. After thinking for a while, he confirmed the identity of this person. This old guy was none other than Mu Lao's mortal enemy, the Dark Holy Dragon among the Black and White Holy Dragons, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

That’s right, with Bu Jinghong around, Dragon God Douluo Moon is naturally still alive.

The hidden injury he suffered back then might be beyond repair for ordinary people, but for Bu Jinghong, it was just that simple.

A ninth-level life magic spell and everything will be done.

At this time, Ju Zi's voice sounded through the loudspeaker soul guide: "Dear citizens of the Sun-Moon Empire and guests from afar, here, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent and the Sun-Moon Empire, I welcome you. At the same time, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I announce: The Continental Youth High-level Soul Master Elite Competition begins now."

It was a very simple opening statement, without any unnecessary nonsense or high-sounding official rhetoric.

This is Xu Tianran's style, everything is based on strength. In his opinion, talking nonsense is just a waste of time.

However, Bu Jinghong liked this very much. In his previous life, he had heard too many official speeches.

"Long live the Regent. Long live the Regent. Long live the Regent." The people of the Sun-Moon Empire knelt on the ground and saluted the Regent who was in a wheelchair but was about to ascend the throne to become the new generation of emperor.

Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair, still smiling, and he extended his right hand to Juzi who had returned to his side.

Orange put her right hand in his palm, then sat down next to him, with a faint smile on her pretty face.

Xu Tianran clapped her hand and said nothing, looking calmly at the competition stage below.

"My dear ministers, please take your seats." Xu Tianran said calmly. Only then did the ministers of the Sun Moon Empire dare to sit down. There was a corresponding identity card in front of each seat. You can't sit in the wrong seat, it corresponds to the status of the ministers.

The person sitting on the other side of Regent Xu Tianran was not Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen, but a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with gold edges. This man had no expression on his face and was pale. What was even more strange was that there seemed to be a layer of mist on his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen was sitting on the other side of Juzi.

"Now let's read out the rules of the competition." A loud voice sounded. Then the rules of this competition were read out, which were the same as the instructions given to each team.

After the rules were read out, an old man walked to the loudspeaker in front of the rostrum and said loudly: "The first match of the preliminary stage elimination match - Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy vs. Dragon Slayer Sect. Both sides select seven players and enter the waiting area."

The waiting area is just in front of the pergola rest area. It is a special area. In fact, there are only seven chairs placed twenty meters apart.

Bu Jinghong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. No wonder Shrek Academy was given a bye in the first round. It turned out that this was the plan.

The champion of the previous session was Shrek, and the runner-up was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Only Shrek will have a bye, so the Dragon Slaying Sect, the soft persimmon, will fall into the hands of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Bu Jinghong didn't care at all. He still liked Shen Ji's words the most -

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery seems so pale and meaningless.

Soon, Bu Jinghong saw old acquaintances - Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, a pair of siblings walking in front, followed by five young soul mentors he had never seen before. They went directly into the waiting area.

But it is not surprising. Not to mention the age issue, among the seven regular contestants from the last Sun Moon Dynasty Soul Island Academy, except for the two brothers and sisters, four of the other five were hacked to death by the team leader, leaving only one assistant.

Moreover, none of them had any remains left.

The unlucky Dragon Slayer Sect, which had encountered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the first round, had also sent seven people into the waiting area.

Bu Jinghong curled his lips. Fortunately, he had given Wang Qiuer to Butterfly, and Shrek had a bye.

Otherwise, those idiots from the Dragon Slaying Sect would not be able to end this without the death of several people.

"The referee enters. The first contestants of both teams' individual elimination matches will appear." The voice of the old man in charge of presiding over the event came from the rostrum.

Because he had participated in two competitions, Huo Yuhao would naturally compare the two competitions. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he was sure that in his heart, he actually appreciated this competition more. Because it was simple. There were fewer tricks and more real fighting. This was the true meaning of the competition - to promote confrontation, communication and learning between soul masters and soul instructors.

The referee was an old man in his fifties, whose cultivation level could not be seen before he released his martial spirit. The first person to appear on behalf of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was Meng Hongchen. As the person with the second highest cultivation level in the team after Jing Hongchen, she was the first to appear in the first game, which showed that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was determined to win this first game. This was not just a matter of winning or losing, but also related to the face of the Sun Moon Empire.

On the Dragon Slayer side, a short young man appeared. He had a peculiar appearance, with a flat head and a short body, but he looked very heavy. His hands were particularly large, spread out on both sides of his body like a palm leaf fan.

At this time, the people watching the battle from afar continued to remain silent. The tight time meant that they had not yet fully recovered from the pressure from Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"The individual elimination match will end when one side loses the ability to fight or admits defeat, and the referee will decide the winner. Try not to hurt the opponent. Do you understand?" The referee said to both parties in a deep voice.

"I understand." The young man who represented the Dragon Slaying Sect looked tough and brave. After agreeing, he turned around and walked in his direction without even the most basic courtesy of greeting.

According to the rules of the competition, before the battle begins, both sides must stand at one end of the competition stage, with a distance of 100 meters between them.

This would be fairer to some soul masters and soul instructors who are good at long-range attacks.

Meng Hongchen has changed a lot in the past five years. She has grown into a grown-up girl with a slender figure, curvy curves and full of charm.

Soon, both sides took their positions at one end of the competition stage.

The referee raised his right hand high, and the moment his palm fell, the first battle of the new continental youth soul master competition officially began.

"Moo——" A low roar came from the mouth of the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect. His short and stocky body suddenly expanded. It was not an overall expansion, but a horizontal development.

A pair of thick, forward-curving, sharp horns protruded from his shoulders on both sides of his neck, two feet long.

The strong and powerful muscles completely burst the shirt, revealing the bronze muscles that looked like cast iron or copper.

Bu Jinghong covered his face with his hands. How can you be called a dragon slayer when you have a cow-type martial spirit?

If a cow were to encounter a dragon, it would either be cut into beef rolls and thrown into the hot pot, or it would be weird.

No matter how weak the dragon in Douluo World is, it is no match for a cow!
