Chapter 101 The competition begins
Wang Nan stood up after hearing this and followed the waiter downstairs. Sure enough, he saw Ma Xiaotao standing in the lobby on the first floor.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"No, you came at the right time." Wang Nan smiled and walked upstairs with Ma Xiaotao, "How is it? Is it going well to get the soul ring?"
"Of course." Ma Xiaotao moved closer to Wang Nan, "When the time comes, just watch and scare their eyes out."
"Senior sister." The door to the conference room opened, Dai Yueheng stood up and gave up his seat.
Wang Yan nodded when he saw this, "Just in time, let's take this opportunity to get to know each other. This is the last official member of this Soul Fighting Competition."
"Hello everyone, my name is Ma Xiaotao." Ma Xiaotao briefly introduced herself to several qualifiers, and then sat at the table with Wang Nan.
"Ahem." Wang Yan coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention to him, "Okay, now I'm going to talk about the personnel arrangements for the first round."
"If our opponent is not very strong after the draw, Xiaotao will not play for now. Beibei, be prepared when you go back. You will most likely be sent to play in the first round."
Beibei nodded upon hearing this.
"Wait a moment."
"What's wrong Konan?"
"In the first round, Ye Xiaosheng, don't be in a hurry to play. We are all core disciples and should have soul guides customized by the academy. Don't be in a hurry to use them yet."
"We did not have soul masters participate in the previous soul fighting competitions. Even if Xiao Sheng had appeared as a reserve team member, other colleges would not have thought so quickly that we have also promoted the combat method of combining soul masters and soul masters. Maybe it will work wonders."
Wang Yan lowered his head, looked at the materials on the table and thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let Xu Sanshi get ready and play with Beibei when the time comes."
"Okay, there are still a few days until the official start of the game. Let's take this time to take a good rest."
"In addition, if you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. If the pre-selected team members have any doubts about cultivation, you can also take this opportunity to find answers to the senior brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard. This is also a hidden benefit for you to participate in this soul fighting competition. ”
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
A group of disciples filed out, with Wang Nan walking at the end as usual.
"Xonan."
"What's wrong, uncle?"
"You didn't show up in the last Soul Fighting Competition. Why don't you wait until the following games to appear again."
"I'd better go on the field." Wang Nan shook his head. "I am the captain originally. After I go on the field, I can arrange some temporary tactics. In addition, if there are too many qualifiers, it will be bad if something unexpected happens."
Of course, Wang Nan has another reason, that is, he knows what the prize is in this soul fighting competition. Although the chance of keeping that prize in his hands was not high, he still wanted to fight for it.
"Okay, you're right to say that. After all, we still have Xiao Tao here, so we'll just do as you say."
"Then uncle, you should go to bed early. You should be able to relax a little these days."
"Okay, I'll take a rest after reading these things."
Wang Nan had no choice but to turn around and leave the conference room. As soon as he went out, he saw Ma Xiaotao standing outside the door. "You probably haven't been to your room yet when you came back. Come on, I'll take you there."
Ma Xiaotao came closer and glanced into the conference room furtively, "Wang...cough, Teacher Wang is your second uncle?"
"Yes, our martial spirits are all coiled dragon sticks. It shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?"
"I grew up in the inner courtyard, how could I know the martial arts of a teacher from the outer courtyard?"
Wang Nan looked at Ma Xiaotao's expression and smiled, "Okay, stop looking, I'll take you back to the room first. You just got the soul ring, so you can use this time to consolidate your cultivation."
…
Today is the busiest day in Xingluo City.
All streets around Xingluo Square were blocked by soldiers, and the road from Xinghuang Hotel to Xingluo Square was under complete martial law.
Despite this, the enthusiasm of those who came to watch the game could not be resisted. Before the sun had fully risen in the morning, the sound of people hustle and bustle began to be heard near the Star Emperor Hotel.
Wang Nan got up early and changed into the dark green clothes of Shrek Academy. Looking out from the window, several nearby streets were crowded with people, densely packed and crowded.
All the way to the main entrance of the Imperial City, the competition arena for the Soul Fighting Competition was set up here. The competition arena is 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, surrounded by 108 metal pillars. Soul masters are already waiting beside it. As soon as the competition starts, a protective shield will be formed to isolate the inside and outside of the arena.
Wang Nan and the other Shrek members stood in the first row of the preparation area, waiting for the draw results of the first round.
Looking around, through the one-meter-high fence, countless spectators were surrounding the edge of the ring, waiting with them for the game to start. Wang Nan even saw his parents. Thanks to their help in building the venue, they stood in the front row of the audience.
Soon, Xu Jiawei appeared at the top of the imperial city with the Queen of the Star Luo Empire and a group of ministers. In an instant, all the people watching the game fell to their knees. Soul masters participating in the competition do not need to perform this ceremony.
Xu Jiawei stepped forward and motioned for everyone to stand up, and then slowly spoke, "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the most important event in our Douluo Continent soul master world. This session will be held in our Star Luo Empire, here …”
On the Imperial City, Xu Jiawei was delivering a speech for the opening of the Soul Fighting Competition, but under the city wall Wang Nan's thoughts were not on this.
He could feel that since he stood here, there were several eyes behind him constantly looking at him. Some of them were secretive, but the people from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy standing behind them were a little unscrupulous.
Wang Nan glanced behind him and saw a handsome young man less than fifteen years old, with a slender and tall figure and a pair of blue eyes staring at him.
Even if Wang Nan turned his head, he did not avoid it. Instead, he stared straight at him. He didn't restrain himself until an old man with a face as thick as a jujube came over.
On the city wall, Xu Jiawei's speech had come to an end.
"Okay, then I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun!"
The roar of the salute and the cheers of the surrounding audience sounded together. Xu Jiawei and a group of ministers also took their seats one by one at the positions arranged at the top of the imperial city.
It wasn't until the surrounding sounds gradually subsided that another loud voice sounded.
"According to the competition rules of this Soul Fighting Competition, a total of 133 teams will compete in 66 knockout rounds in the first round. The winner will advance to the next round, while the loser will have to regret the end of this Soul Fighting Competition. Journey.”
"Then the first team to play is——"
The host raised his voice, and the cheers from the audience began to boil. The voice of "Shrek" resounded from every corner of the square.
