Douluo's Bacchus

Chapter 130 Lottery
After Tang San and the others left, Chen Hu was not in the mood to chat and laugh with Huo Wushuang, so he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Everyone in Jiwu also saw that Chen Hu was in a bad mood, so they didn't say much, they all closed their eyes and cultivated themselves, making up their minds that when they met Shrek Academy in the ring, they must not hold back and teach them a lesson.

Not long after, Ji Xue and Ye Liyuan also came back. Seeing the tense atmosphere among them, they thought it was nervous, and comforted them: "Today is mainly the opening ceremony, except for the second team representing Tiandou Royal Academy who will randomly select One is for the opening performance, the other competitions will start from the next day, don't be nervous, there are at least thirty teams participating in Tiandou City, and you may not be able to draw today. Besides, even if you are drawn by lottery You, you have nothing to worry about, the Five Elements Academy is already the top academy among the participating teams this time, and the members of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy cannot be compared with you at all."

"We're fine. Our goal this time is to be the champion. So what if it's against the first team of the Royal Academy of Heaven Dou?" Chen Hu opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of brilliance. This time, the Soul Master Competition also has significance for him. Unusual significance, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it is not enough to make him afraid, let alone, he has so many brothers and sisters?
At this time, staff members had already entered the rest area, and the academy team with all the staff began to enter the arena.

As the seed team of this soul master competition, the Five Elements Academy naturally received extraordinary treatment and was the first to be admitted.

"Chen Hu, let's go first." Huo Wushuang greeted Chen Hu, and led the members of Blazing Academy into the field.

Not long after, another staff member led the Jiwu Academy into the arena.

At this moment, the venue that can accommodate 10 people is already full of voices, and every team entering the venue will cause a burst of cheers.

The clean and elegant martial arts uniforms of the Jiwu players naturally attracted a lot of attention, and the cheers were also particularly enthusiastic.

The cheers of 10 people were enough to make everyone's blood boil when they experienced such a scene for the first time. The young man was full of energy, raised his head and chest, enjoying the feeling of being watched by everyone.

The first team to enter the arena has been lined up in a wide area with a diameter of more than 150 meters in the center of the Great Soul Arena. In front of them is the rostrum with a golden background, and behind the rostrum is the revamped VIP area. When each team enters the arena, there will be a special master of ceremonies on the host stage to introduce.

"The next entry is Jiwu Academy. Jiwu Academy, formerly known as Tianming Academy, was officially renamed Jiwu Academy half a year ago. They are also the only team without a substitute among all 28 participating teams. Their own slogan It's heaven and earth, and I am the only one, how arrogant and confident this is, I hope they can show the strength of being the only one in this soul master competition."

After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the field, and the booing voices continued one after another. Only the seven members of Jiwu and Ji Xueye, the leader of the team, did not change their faces, and I am the only one. This sentence may still be just a joke now, but they believe that, After the Soul Master Competition, no one dared to say that it was a joke.

"Heaven and earth, I am the only one? The tone of today's young people is really serious, I hope their strength can bear their slogan!" A gray-haired and elegant old man in the center of the first row of the VIP seat slowly He opened the mouth and said, he is the person standing at the peak of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Hehe, these little fellows should not disappoint Your Majesty." Platinum Archbishop Salas, who represented the supreme leader of the Spirit Hall of the Heaven Dou Empire, on the right hand of Emperor Xue Ye laughed.

"Oh, this team must have something special to get such a high evaluation from Bishop Salas." After Salas finished speaking, Emperor Xue Ye's eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see what was going on in his mind. The other person, Ning Fengzhi, the suzerain of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, asked with a smile.

"Naturally, these little guys should be the youngest of all the participating teams, and the oldest one among them has not surpassed them, but if their strength is underestimated because of their age, some will. "For this team similar to the second team of Wuhundian, as one of the platinum archbishops who are second only to His Majesty the Pope in Wuhundian, and also the speaker in charge of related affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire, the information of Chen Hu and others is natural. Didn't hide it from Salas.

"What? Bishop Salas wasn't joking?" Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but be moved. You must know that the age limit for this soul master competition is 25 years old. These guys dared to participate before, and they must have extraordinary confidence , Either a lunatic or a genius.

Ning Fengzhi asked inexplicably: "Couldn't this academy be trained by Bishop Salas?"

Salas shook his head and said: "I can handle mundane affairs well, but cultivating geniuses is not my forte. I don't have the ability to cultivate so many geniuses. These geniuses were all cultivated by a respected senior in our Spirit Hall. Yes, His Majesty and Sect Master Ning should have heard of him, senior Fang Yuanfang, who suppressed the Tianxuan Monument."

"Suppressing the Xuantian Monument? I never thought that after so many years, this old man is still alive." Ning Fengzhi said with emotion.

"Okay, the opening ceremony is about to begin, let's save gossip for later." Emperor Xue Ye coughed and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Both Ning Fengzhi and Salas remained silent, but both Ning Fengzhi and Salas understood that in this way, Emperor Xue Ye's affection for the students of Jiwu Academy would also be minimized.

Why did the two empires and the Wuhundian put so much effort into holding the soul master competition?Naturally, it is to recruit new talents, so the better they perform in the face of these soul masters who have already decided their way out, the more unwilling they will be. The two empires and the three parties of the Spirit Hall are not as harmonious as imagined!
At the beginning of the opening ceremony, first Emperor Xue Ye spoke on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire, announcing the official start of the soul master contest qualifiers, and then Ning Fengzhi began to speak, no doubt all kinds of encouragement.

In Chen Hu's previous life, he grew up listening to various leaders' speeches from childhood to adulthood, and he didn't have much feeling for the speeches of Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye. They all had a head on their shoulders, nothing unusual, but the emotions of the audience and a group of participating students were aroused, with a look of enthusiasm, eager to throw their heads and sprinkle their blood.

However, Chen Hu's unmoved appearance fell into the eyes of Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi, and their perception of him was even worse, but there was a faint appreciation in Salas' eyes.

The master of ceremonies asked at this time: "Sect Master Ning, as the most powerful auxiliary soul master in the mainland, I would like to ask you on behalf of all the audience, which team do you like most among the 28 participating teams?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled kindly to Xun, but Chen Hu could see a bit of maliciousness in his eyes. I don't know if it was his illusion, Ning Fengzhi said: "Except for the seeded team Tiandou who entered the final as a seeded team, Besides the first team of the Royal Academy, I do have another team that I am optimistic about. I think they not only have the ability to pass the preliminaries, but they may also win the final victory of this soul master competition."

"Oh?" The master of ceremonies said in surprise, "I don't know which team can win such great favor from Sect Master Ning?"

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile: "The name of this team, I'm sorry to let you know first, but I believe that in addition to this team I am optimistic about, the performance of the team that Salas, the Platinum Archbishop of the Wuhun Temple, is also optimistic about. It will definitely be different.”

The master of ceremonies' curiosity was aroused, and he looked at the displeased Platinum Archbishop Salas, and asked, "His Royal Highness, could you tell us about the team you are optimistic about?"

Although Saras was very unhappy that Ning Fengzhi made a move on him from the bottom of his heart, he still smiled and said, "True gold is not afraid of fire, I am not as tempting as Sect Master Ning. I don't even have a name." Dare to say it, the name of the team I am optimistic about is Ji Wu, I believe that they will definitely stand out from the Heaven Dou Empire's team and achieve excellent results."

After finishing speaking, Ning Fengzhi glanced lightly at Ning Fengzhi, who nodded slightly and smiled back.

"Ji Wu?" The gazes of all the audience fell on the few people from the Ji Wu Academy. Chen Hu, who stood at the front, was the first to bear the brunt, and felt a series of slightly hot gazes.

Similarly, Chen Hu also felt jealous and vigilant eyes from the colleges of many teams around him.

Chen Hu's face remained unchanged, he raised his head and looked directly at the three people in the front row of the VIP seats. Emperor Xue Ye's eyes were deep, like a bottomless lake, and he couldn't see any specific thoughts. Showing a playful smile at Chen Hu, Salas didn't change his face, but his eyes fell on Chen Hu and others without concealing his relief and appreciation.

After a while, the master of ceremonies withdrew his gaze from the Jiwu people and said, "It's a pity that I didn't guess the team that Sect Master Ning was talking about, but the team that Archbishop Salas is optimistic about must have something unusual. , Next, let us ask Archbishop Salas to draw lots, after the lottery, the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy in the first round of the qualifiers will have their first match with their opponents."

Salas slowly got up from his seat, walked to the master of ceremonies under the leadership of the maid, and began to draw lots. Salas didn't seem to like talking, and the master of ceremonies would read out the names of the participating teams every time.

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Canghui Academy played against Purple Star Academy."

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Oakland Academy played against Flaming Academy."

……

"In the first round of the qualifier, Tiandou Royal Academy will face Jiwu Academy."

When Chen Hu heard the name of Jiwu Academy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he lightly landed on Salas. He couldn't tell if Salas did it on purpose. After all, in his memory, it should be Tang San who appeared today. The Shrek Academy where it is located.

"The first round of the qualifiers,..."

The lottery was still going on, but Ji Wu and the others had no interest in listening to the subsequent lottery. Their gazes passed over the participating teams and landed on a group of luxuriously dressed teenagers, and they couldn't help shaking their heads slightly.

The representative students of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy were all vain, and most of them were pale. At first glance, they looked like playboys who were overindulgent. Naturally, such opponents were not taken seriously by them.

However, all this is different in the eyes of the audience. After all, the Tiandou Royal Academy is still the number one academy in the Tiandou Empire in name. In this regard, even the old Five Elements Academy cannot compete with the Tiandou Royal Academy. After all, behind the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy belongs to the most noble royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire.

On the other side was the team that the Platinum Archbishop, who was the only one under Wuhundian, personally praised the team. The match between the two was undeniably exciting.

At the same time, some people also questioned that Salas had just opened his mouth to praise the Jiwu Academy, and the Jiwu Academy was drawn for today's game. The person who drew the lottery was still Salas. Is this too coincidental?

At the end of the lottery, Salas glanced around the audience, and said lightly: "This seat draws lots, there is absolutely no falsehood, this seat swears by the reputation of the Wuhun Temple, and likewise, this seat announces here that any All the students who enter the finals can directly join the Spirit Temple."

After Salas's words fell, Emperor Xue Ye's expression turned ugly all of a sudden, Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly at Emperor Xue Ye, Emperor Xue Ye didn't get angry, but his expression was still a little stiff.

Chen Hu has good eyesight, and he has been paying attention to the three people in the VIP seat, and also noticed the changes in the faces of several people, and sighed slightly in his heart, the conflict between Wuhun Palace and Tiandou Empire has become deeper and deeper.

The master of ceremonies said: "Okay, the first match of the first round of qualifiers will be held next, Tiandou Royal Academy will play against Shrek Academy. All participating players please leave the field, and the two academies that will be competing later, please get ready. It starts in an hour."

After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, Huo Wushuang hugged Chen Hu's shoulders, and said as he walked, "When did you get picked up by Archbishop Salas? But now you are extremely martial arts, but you have been roasted on the fire. You can wait for the match later." Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter and lose to a small second team of the Royal Academy."

Chen Hu said angrily: "You can shut up, the Tiandou Royal Academy's second team is not as weak as you said, and, you don't know that our Jiwu members are all from the Wuhun Temple, and were recruited by Archbishop Salas Remember nothing strange, right?"

Going back to the rest area, Jiwu and Chihuo Academy were separated. There was no competition in Chihuo Academy today, so I went to the viewing area to watch the match. Regarding Jiwu's personal ability, Chihuo was not surprised at all. He was already familiar with it in daily communication, but Jiwu They are also quite curious about their team battle strength.

The other participating teams also left one after another, and soon there was only Jiwu in the rest area.

"The second team of Tiandou Royal Academy is limited in strength. Xiaoqi, Xiaoxiao, and senior sister Zhongli are in the back. This game will mainly be performed by the three of you, Tori. I will provide certain auxiliary skills according to the situation, but not It won't be output as the main force." Chen Hu said lightly.

Ye Liyuan frowned slightly, and said: "Is this not safe enough? This is your first time playing, and it would be too much to rely on Toli and the other three soul masters."

Tori also said: "That's right, I think we should play it safe in the first game. Archbishop Salas said that we are his favorite team. It's a bit bad for us to be so turbulent in the first game."

Chen Hu shook his head and said: "I know, but our goal is the championship, not Salas' admiration or anything. If the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy needs all of us to go all out, we still need to go all out." What qualifications do you have to talk about winning the championship?"

"Our real stage is during the finals. Whether it is the preliminaries or the promotion matches, it is a stage of improvement and training for us. If we can't even pass the preliminaries, what are we talking about about the finals?"

Ge Ding said: "Okay, let's leave it at that, we have already taken advantage of Erhu's auxiliary skills, and Erhu's Prajna Soul Skill and Broken Jade Soul Skill are both magical skills of the auxiliary department. There should be no problem."
