Chapter 160 Act according to the plan
The next day, the early morning sun shone on every corner of Xingluo City, and the golden light illuminated this passionate land.
Countless spectators have already gathered around Xingluo Square, more than double the number compared to the initial knockout round.
Amid cheers from the audience, the four teams entered Xingluo Square one after another. When the last Shrek Academy team came on stage, the cheers and passionate atmosphere of the surrounding audience reached its peak, and the sound seemed to shatter the entire sky.
However, amidst the roaring cheers of the audience, the gazes of the four teams were like swords clashing in the air, and the lightning and flint gave the air a sense of solemnity.
However, with a loud voice,
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
The chilling atmosphere was invisible at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the ten-meter-wide red carpet that stretched from the imperial city gate to the front of the Soul Fighting Platform.
"Squeak——"
At this moment, the palace gate of the imperial city opened wide.
Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, strode out of the palace gate of the imperial city, surrounded by palace guards and protected by four powerful titled Douluo men, and walked straight towards the competition stage.
“Long live, long live, long live—”
The soldiers responsible for maintaining order raised their weapons at this moment and shouted long live to all the people in the square!
Around the Soul Fighting Platform, the one hundred and eight soul masters responsible for protection also bowed to the emperor. At this moment, the participating members from the four participating colleges also stood up and paid attention.
After Xu Jiawei boarded the Soul Fighting Platform, he looked at Xingluo Square, raised his arms slightly, and said, "My people, please stay calm."
"Long live--"
The mountains shouted and the sea responded, and the people stood up like a huge crowd.
The noise resounded throughout Xingluo Square.
Xu Jiawei did not stop the noise, but looked calmly at the people in the distance with a smile.
It wasn't until the square became quiet that he smiled and said: "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, as a grand event held every five years in our Douluo Continent, is finally held again in our Star Luo Empire. This is also the first time since I ascended the throne. This time, I am deeply honored. Here, I would like to thank the college teams from all over the world for giving us wonderful games, allowing us to see the development of the mainland and allowing me to enjoy it with the people.”
"Today is the beginning of the semi-finals and the last draw. This will be hosted by me personally. I hope the four colleges can show their due style in this final stage."
"I also wish my Star Luo Empire eternal prosperity from generation to generation!"
After finishing speaking, the roaring cheers came again! Everyone's sense of honor also reached its peak at this moment!
At this time, among the four old men who followed Xu Jiawei on stage, the one on the front left took two steps across, facing the direction of the rest area, and said in a deep voice: "Invite the captains of the four teams to come on stage to draw lots."
An indescribable powerful aura suddenly burst out from the old man. The astonishing pressure even made everyone in Xingluo Square feel as if the sky was darkening.
He was clearly frightening some demons and monsters in the dark.
This person is none other than Huang Jinxu, who is titled Tiansha. Next, he will replace Cheng Gang as the referee for subsequent games.
At the same time, there is a rest area under the stage.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Wang Yanzheng frowned, looking thoughtful.
Because at yesterday's war meeting, Chen Junting proposed a method. However, the premise of this method is to replace a soul sect with a soul king, but it is precisely because this method is so good that he is so entangled, and he still has not decided yet.
"Teacher Wang Yan, this is a good deal. As long as the opponent in the semi-finals is not the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, then it is feasible."
Chen Junting looked calm, as if he had anticipated Teacher Wang Yan's final choice. "Once we win the semi-finals, all that's left is the finals. At that time, Senior Xu will not be able to take the stage at all, so this method will be useless. It would be better to have Senior Xu replace the opponent's core in the semi-finals. In this way, seniors Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng can still retain a small part of their strength and wait until the finals to face the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."
These words touched Wang Yan's heart, and he looked at Xu Sanshi, "In that case, Xu Sanshi, can you do this?"
"rest assured."
Xu Sanshi patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, Lao Xu."
"Okay." After hearing this, Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction.
"Then go with this plan."
At this moment, the captains of the four academy teams had arrived on the Soul Fighting Stage. But anyone who had participated in the Starlight Auction had their eyes widened in surprise at this moment. Because Auctioneer Jiujiu is actually the captain of the Star Luo Royal Team!
"Princess Xu Jiujiu is actually the captain."
Under the stage, Wang Yan looked at Dai Yueheng in surprise. Dai Yueheng also had a thoughtful look in his eyes and nodded.
"Judging from the age, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also in line."
"That's it..."
Wang Yan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
"That Xingluo Royal Family's martial spirit is..."
"It's the Star Crown."
Just as Wang Yan was thinking, Chen Junting suddenly spoke up.
"Ten thousand years ago, one of the six great spirits in the Holy Order of the Spirit Hall was Star Crown, which is comparable to our sect's Seven Killing Swords, Haotian Sect's Clear Sky Hammer, and Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus. And according to rumors, , the Star Crown Martial Spirit is special in assisting, and to some extent it is not inferior to our sect’s Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Spirit.”
"Brother Chen is right."
Dai Yueheng said: "I'm sure that if there is a Star Crown Martial Spirit in the Xingluo Team, that person will definitely be the core."
Wang Dong scratched his head and said puzzledly.
"Is it because of the royal family?"
"Of course not." Dai Yueheng shook his head, "Although I don't know the true power of the Star Crown Martial Spirit, my father highly respects it. This is definitely not based on identity."
"As expected."
Wang Yan nodded slightly and told Xu Sanshi beside him.
"In this case, if our opponent in the semi-finals is Team Xingluo, then you will replace Princess Jiujiu."
"Hehehe——"
Xu Sanshi couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile, patted his chest and immediately reassured, "Don't worry, Teacher Wang, leave it to me."
At this moment, four golden lights rose into the sky at the same time.
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted.
Ma Xiaotao, who was already ready, took the lead and was the first to get a golden ball. The captain of Di'ao Academy and Ma Rulong followed closely and won two of them.
As for Xu Jiujiu,
he caught the last one calmly.
Ma Xiaotao turned her palm and said in a deep voice: "No. 1." Then she locked her eyes on Xu Jiujiu's hand.
Because her little golden ball also had the word "一" printed on it. This also represents the opponent in the first semi-final——
Shrek Academy VS Star Luo Royal Academy.
In the audience, Wang Yan whispered after seeing this scene.
"Follow the plan."
