Unrivaled Tang Sect: The Beginning of Seizing Huo Yuhao's Body

Chapter 27: The First Battle Shocked the Audience
"Okay, the members of the Tianling 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 host's high-pitched voice pierced the clouds, and Xingluo Plaza suddenly became a place where people cheered for Shrek.

He Caitou followed behind Beibei, and behind them were Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiaoxiao, Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong.

Seven people from both sides gathered in a corner of the competition stage, looking at each other from a distance.

When the students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy saw that Shrek Academy had sent out such a young lineup, they couldn't help but be stunned. Even all the participating academies, including the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were dumbfounded.

Emperor Xing Luo was also stunned, and asked in confusion: "What is Shrek Academy trying to do? Why didn't they send out their main force? Why didn't Dai Hao's son play?"

The referee sent by the Xing Luo Empire was already in place. He made a gesture for both sides to come forward, and the seven students on both sides quickly gathered in the center of the venue.

The referee said solemnly: "The first round, the elimination round, the team battle. Both sides can use most of the soul guides to compete. However, during the battle, if one side admits defeat, the other side is not allowed to continue attacking. Soul guides cannot use fixed equipment. Fight with highly lethal equipment such as soul guides. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Beibei responded with a stern face.

The captain of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy also agreed with Beibei.

The referee nodded and said: "Okay, both sides retreat to both sides of the field. Follow 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 two sides slowly distanced themselves from each other. As they retreated, Huo Zhanji turned around and whispered, "Try not to attack. I'll deal with them. Hide your strength."

On the other side, the Tianling Empire was also making final deployments during its retreat.

Soon, both sides reached the edge of the field. The referee raised his hand and the players from both sides immediately began to take their positions.

At the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, seven people quickly lined up in the typical traditional formation of three, two, one, one.

In Shrek's formation, Huo Zhanji stood at the front, and the other six were all behind him.

"Referee, you may begin now." Huo Zhanji said.

The referee lowered his raised right hand and shouted, "The match begins."

Following the referee's loud shout, students from both sides released their martial spirits almost at the same time.

The seven people from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were not weak at all. Their yellow and purple auras gave off a dazzling brilliance. Among the seven people, five were fourth-ring and only two were third-ring.

At this moment, the attention of almost all the spectators was focused on Shrek Academy. To be more precise, all of them were focused on Huo Zhanji who was already striding forward. At this moment, an indescribable aura of terror suddenly appeared on the competition stage.

The shadow of a giant frost dragon martial soul appeared behind Huo Zhanji, and a 100,000-year-old soul ring appeared on the martial soul. A purple-red light flashed in his eyes, and two soul rings, one white and one purple, slowly emerged under his feet.

"Twin martial spirits! Hundred thousand year spirit rings!"

Cries of surprise rang out from hundreds of thousands of people at the same time like a raging storm. Even the Emperor, Empress, and civil and military officials of the Xing Luo Empire on the city wall all stood up in shock.

For the audience in the audience, the sudden appearance of a hundred thousand year spirit ring was so shocking, not to mention the students of Tianling Academy who were already extremely nervous on the stage.

At this moment, a pair of huge ice-blue dragon wings spread out behind Huo Zhanji, and Huo Zhanji's three soul rings disappeared at that moment, replaced by a blue figure holding an ice sword.

"Holy Eyes - Holy Frost Armor, Ice Emperor Form!"

Huo Zhanji, in the form of Ice Emperor, raised the ice sword in his hand and pointed it at the seven students of Tianling Academy. A green light flashed on the trunk bone of the Ice Scorpion, and the light suddenly attacked Tianling Academy under the guidance of the ice sword.

"The Realm of Permanent Frozen!"

None of the seven people from Tianling Academy dodged. Among the seven, two with three rings were almost frozen instantly, and all the soul guides that protected their bodies were destroyed. The bodies of the other five were also completely frozen except for their heads, and the soul rings on their bodies also dissipated immediately.

Huo Zhanji's eyes were filled with pride, and he said calmly, "The competition can be declared over. They are no longer able to fight."

The Xingluo Square with hundreds of thousands of spectators, including the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, civil and military officials, and more than one hundred other high-level soul masters and soul instructor academy, was silent at this moment.

"Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique! Who is that person? Why have I never heard of his name? Go investigate, investigate his background, at all costs." The Xingluo Emperor on the top of the city wall looked at Huo Zhanji who was performing the Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique on the field with a fanatical look on his face. Fanaticism gradually appeared in everyone's eyes. The players of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy were the most shocked. At this moment, their faces were horribly ugly. Xiao Hongchen also had a livid face at this time, and his fists were clenched tightly. How could it be possible? How could it be possible?

Huo Zhanji, who was on the fighting spirit stage, slowly walked down the stage and led the Shrek Seven Devils back to where everyone from Shrek Academy was originally standing.

Wang Yan seemed to be blaming him and said, "You were too harsh."

"Is it cruel? I don't think so. A newbie needs to practice more." Huo Zhan Ji said coldly.

When Huo Zhanji passed by each college team, his eyes glanced over intentionally or unintentionally, but no one dared to look at him. Huo Zhanji and the students of Shrek Academy went straight back to the Star King Hotel.

Since the elimination round was held on the first day, everyone at Shrek Academy was able to have a good rest in the next two days. The busiest person during these two days was Wang Yan. It was not until the evening of the third day after the start of the competition that he summoned all the team members to the conference room for a meeting.

"Xiao Tao, how are the injuries of the three of you?" Wang Yan's eyes first fell on Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen.

Ma Xiaotao said: "I have been able to rest peacefully these few days, and my injuries have recovered quite well. It will be no problem for me to fully recover in half a month. If I want to force a move, ten days should be enough. But I am afraid that it will further affect my injuries."

Dai Yaoheng said: "My situation is similar."

Ling Luochen also nodded: "Recover normally."

Wang Yan said, "That's good." He then turned his gaze to Huo Zhanji and the others, "The first battle was much better than expected. Let's plan the tactics for the next round-robin tournament. I've said before that there will be three battle modes in the round-robin tournament. With the strength we showed in the first round, there is no doubt that there will only be eight teams in our group."

"A total of 67 teams will enter the round-robin tournament, divided into eight groups, three of which are nine-player groups, and the remaining five are eight-player groups. That means we will play seven games in the group stage. For each win, we get two points, for a loss, we get no points, and for a draw, we get one point."

"Four groups will compete every day, one round every two days. After seven rounds, plus an extra round for the nine-person group, the round-robin tournament is expected to last about fifteen to sixteen days."

"Ling Luochen will be back in about the fourth round. If all goes well, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng will also be back in the sixth round. By then, our strength will be greatly enhanced."

"We won't know our group and group opponents until tomorrow morning. Given our reputation, we will still be the first to play in the round-robin tournament."

"The individual elimination round is not about one person going up and fighting only once, but the loser stepping down, and the winner can continue fighting until they are defeated. Until seven people on one side are completely eliminated."

"The last type of match is a two-on-two-three match. Generally speaking, we play two two-on-two matches first, and then a three-on-three match. If we win the two two-on-two matches, then we don't have to play the third match."

Wang Yan said: "That's the basic arrangement. For us, the most advantageous way of playing is actually the latter two."

"Yes." The members of the external courtyard team answered at the same time.

Wang Yan stood up and said, "Everyone should have a good rest tonight and adjust to the best condition. No one is allowed to go out. The meeting is adjourned."

Everyone stood up and walked out of the meeting room. When Huo Zhanji walked towards his room to practice, suddenly, he seemed to feel something and looked towards the other end of the corridor.

"Your name is Huo Zhan Ji, remember my name, my name is Xiao Hongchen. I will definitely defeat you." The handsome young man raised his right thumb towards Huo Zhan Ji and turned it downward.

Huo Zhan Ji frowned and said, "Where did this bug come from? I don't even know when it was stepped on to death." As he spoke, he opened his door and walked into the room.

Huo Zhanji's voice was very loud, and the sound transmission in the corridor of Xinghuang Hotel was also quite good. Xiao Hongchen's expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not angry, but looked thoughtful.

After returning to the room, Huo Zhanji shook his head and said, "Why is my brother-in-law so aggressive? How about giving him a beating in advance?"

The first round of eliminations of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition has finally come to an end. The elimination system made the competition extremely exciting and intense.

Although casualties were avoided as much as possible, nearly two hundred players still suffered injuries of varying degrees after the first round of eliminations.

There were even more than a dozen students who died due to serious injuries. Of course, all the students who died accidentally in battle would receive a very generous pension from the official Star Luo Empire.

The knockout rounds are over, and the next step is the second round of round-robin matches. After the first round of eliminations, the remaining college teams will be stronger.

Today was the fourth day of the competition. Early in the morning, the shouts of the audience had been echoing in Xingluo Square. The Emperor of Xingluo Empire climbed to the top of the imperial city early in the morning and waited, giving Shrek Academy great face.
