Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 124 Queen
The entire competition stage is 100 meters long and wide, and 5 meters high. There are a total of 108 metal pillars around the competition stage. These are not decorations, but real protective soul guides. After the competition begins, 108 soul masters will host the competition stage to protect these metal pillars. They will form a protective shield to block all the soul skills inside from spilling out, so as not to damage the imperial city or hurt innocent people.

It cost a huge amount of money just to build this competition stage. In addition, it would be difficult to mobilize 108 soul masters to serve for more than a month without national-level strength.

At this time, Xingluo Square was empty. Except for the soldiers in the distance, there was no one in the square.

Only the noise coming from outside Xingluo Square revealed the prosperity of this city.

The last time the Star Luo Empire held the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, there was a stampede incident. This time, the Star Luo Empire royal family attached great importance to it. Not only did they dispatch an army to maintain order, but they also came up with many new methods.

There are many iron fences in the square. These iron fences with a height of about 1.5 meters will not affect the sight of most people, but they divide the square into different areas. There are different entrances and exits for spectators entering and exiting. This way, it would be much easier for the soldiers to maintain order. There will also be clear limits on the number of people allowed in each area.

The Imperial City is on the north side, facing south, and a luxurious rest area is also built on the west side of the competition stage, specially provided for the participating members of each academy. However, the seating area can only accommodate about seventy colleges. There was clearly no preparation for a spot in a college that was eliminated in the first round. This is not wasted. At the same time, it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the participating students.

Since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition switched to the current format, apart from the finals, the most exciting thing is actually the first round of knockout matches, which are far more exciting and even tragic than the ones that follow. Round robin.

The round robin can also have tactical arrangements and even tactical failures. But this first round is a direct elimination round. If you lose, you will leave. Any participating college must pass this level. Even the previous champion Shrek Academy is the same. There is a bye in the competition, but no college can directly enjoy the bye privilege.

Early in the morning, the teachers from each academy would come to the Imperial City to draw lots. After the draw, officials from the Xingluo Empire would count the results. Once the order of the competition was announced, the final preparations for the competition would be completed.

The sun slowly rose from the distant east, casting golden rays of light and warming the whole world. At this peaceful and beautiful moment, Xingluo City in the center of the continent was also bathed in this warm light.

On the top of the imperial city, Xu Jiawei, wearing a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown on his head, stood with his hands behind his back. He was standing in the center of the main gate of the imperial city, which was also the best place to watch the competition below.

Beside him was a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace clothes, accompanying him respectfully and gently. On his other side was a beautiful girl who was also standing on the top of the city looking down. She was Ji Lin's fiancée, Xu Jiujiu. A few steps behind were the maids and guards.

"Your Majesty." An old man wearing bright red civil servant clothes quickly stepped forward, came to the man's side and saluted respectfully. It could be seen from the python pattern embroidered on his robe that this old man's status was extremely noble. It can be described as an extremely human minister.

"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?" Xu Jiawei asked with a smile.

The Prime Minister said respectfully: "Everything has been arranged. The draw has been completed and the order of the competition has been arranged. The outside is in order. The public can enter."

Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded, "Okay, pass on my order, start letting people in at each checkpoint, control the speed and maintain order. Whoever is responsible for a problem will be severely punished." "Yes." The Prime Minister took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

Xu Jiawei said to the beautiful woman beside him: "Queen, I have waited for twenty years for this grand event. I really miss my youth! It's a pity that the royal family has too many rules, otherwise I really wanted to participate once."

The Queen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty has always had the heart of a warrior."

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Look, the students from the participating colleges have already entered the venue. But today they cannot use the rest area. Only those who win the elimination round are eligible to enter the rest area. It is said that only ten people from Shrek College came this time. Many of the participating players are very young. One of the leading players is Dai Hao's eldest son. There is also Jiu Mei's fiancé. Ji Lin is also one of them, and he is on the list of candidates. I really envy that boy!"

The queen just listened gently, and when she heard Ji Lin's name, she looked at Xu Jiujiu in surprise. She had also seen Ji Lin and attended the engagement ceremony of Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu. She remembered that Ji Lin was less than fifteen years old, but he could represent Shrek Academy in the Fighting Soul Competition.

He is really outstanding! No wonder His Majesty and the other ministers think so highly of him. They betrothed Jiu Mei to him very early.

But she didn't make any comments. As the mother of the nation, she couldn't say too much.

Especially when there are many civil officials and military generals on both sides. Those military generals are all powerful soul masters, and their hearing is very strong.

At this moment, people began to enter the venue from all directions in Xingluo Square. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they gathered into the venue like long queues.

Watching the All Continental High-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not free. The daily entrance fee is not too expensive, just two gold soul coins. However, although Xingluo Plaza has strictly controlled the number of people entering, it can accommodate more than 200,000 people to watch the game at the same time. Two gold soul coins are just the most basic price. The closer the area is to the competition stage, the more expensive the entrance fee is. In the circle of viewing area closest to the competition stage, each person must pay 100 gold soul coins to enter.

For civilians, this is a lot of money, but for some businessmen and nobles, it is nothing.

The Star Luo Empire has adopted a method of treating all spectators equally. Those with money will be placed at the front at most. But the treatment is the same, you can only stand and watch the game. There aren't even seats. This way more people can be accommodated.

The Xingluo Empire can receive about two million gold soul coins from the daily entrance fee alone. In a month, that's 60 million gold soul coins. Excluding military expenses and investment, the empire can also make a lot of money. This is one of the reasons why the four empires are willing to host the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition.
