Chapter 48 Preliminary Round, Shrek Academy Shocked Everyone The largest martial arts competition in the division world.
Anyone who can enter the arena is already the most outstanding handful of young soul masters. If you can win the ranking in the competition, it will be a huge honor for the individual players and the subsequent college!
Shrek Academy attaches great importance to the elite competition. This will be the first step for the academy to enter the world's attention!
In order to prevent accidents, Flanders, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang took Chi Ping and eight others to Tiandou City two months in advance.
…
The elite competition is divided into three rounds, qualifiers, qualifying, and finals.
The qualifiers for the two empires were held separately. The Tiandou Empire's qualifiers were divided into six competition areas based on the empire, the four kingdoms, and a principality. Shrek Academy participated in the Tiandou competition area, which was the most competitive and easiest to become famous.
The main arena of the Tiandou Division is the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena. For the purpose of watching the game, the Great Soul Fighting Arena merged all the branch Soul Fighting Arenas with the main Soul Fighting Arena as the center, forming an extremely huge competition venue.
The sun has not yet risen and the competition has not yet begun, but the outside of the Tiandou Spirit Fighting Arena is crowded with spectators.
Each ticket has a special seat number, so there is no rush for seats. The audience wants to see the participating young soul masters up close on the first day of the opening ceremony.
After the official start of the game, the participating team members have a special channel, and at that time they can only watch from a distance in the audience.
Some of them do it out of yearning for power and honor, some do it to become familiar with each other so that they can invest now or recruit in the future, and there are also some young girls who fantasize about getting married to those geniuses.
The participating teams all wear school uniforms and are easily distinguishable.
The school uniforms of Shrek Academy are modified based on the martial arts training uniforms that Chi Ping has always worn. It uses white as the background color and is decorated with flowing cloud patterns. There are two badges on the right chest. One is the school badge of Shrek Academy, the ugly monster Shrek pattern, and the other is a badge representing the student's personal characteristics. Based on their respective martial arts, they are accompanied by decorative patterns with personal style. Originally, Flender wanted to be involved in the design of the school uniform, but after he chose shit green as the background color of the school uniform, Chi Ping vetoed his right to discuss it.
The school uniforms are simple and neat, but they show the student’s temperament even more!
Among the eight students of Shrek, the three girls are all considered to be extremely beautiful. Dai Mubai and Oscar are recognized as evil and handsome. Tang San, Chi Ping, and Ma Hongjun respectively use their cold, gentle, and domineering temperaments to cover up the flaws in their appearance. insufficient.
The four words "golden boy and beautiful girl" are appropriate to describe them.
Flanders in front, eight people behind. Everyone held their heads high, as if the championship was within reach.
"Brother Ping, those girls are looking at us! Let me go, that girl is so beautiful! That girl's breasts are so big!"
Ma Hongjun held his head high and looked like a serious person, but he kept bombarding Chi Ping next to him with a very small voice. Two months ago, Ma Hongjun obtained the fourth soul ring and was promoted to the Soul Sect. The martial soul had completed its evolution and the evil fire could no longer arouse desires.
So Flanders lifted Ma Hongjun's ban, and he could find a girlfriend like Dai Mubai and the others!
You know, in the past two years, he has been stuffed with dog food by two official couples and one preliminary couple in the team!
Dai Mubai said fiercely, "Fat man, please restrain yourself! If you affect our image, I will ask the dean to delay the age at which you can lose your virginity to after eighteen! I asked Pingzi, It’s good for both men and women to think about those things after you turn 18! The dean won’t let you do whatever you want just because of your evil temper!”
"Boss Dai, you are too cruel!" Ma Hongjun said fiercely, but his eyes stopped wandering.
Surrounded by the crowd, everyone from Shrek Academy entered the Great Soul Fighting Arena and came to the rest area specially provided for participating colleges in the main arena. They were not the first to enter, but they were not the last to arrive either. Some students were already sitting in the rest area. Everyone looked around, but no one recognized them.
Flanders said, "Sit down here first, and the host will take us to the main arena later."
So everyone sat down.
No one was looking for trouble, after all, no one knew about Shrek Academy.
After that, everything developed normally, entering the main arena normally, listening to the speeches of Emperor Tiandou Xueye, Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi, and Platinum Bishop Salas of Wuhun Temple, and discussing Sword Douluo next to Ning Fengzhi normally.
"Rongrong, has Senior Sword Douluo advanced?" Chi Ping suddenly asked.
Everyone looked sideways, and Ning Rongrong opened her mouth slightly, "Brother Ping, how did you know?"
Chi Ping looked at Sword Douluo and said, "Senior Sword Douluo makes me feel stronger and more like a sword than a year ago."
"Really advanced?" Dai Mubai couldn't believe it.
Ning Rongrong nodded, "Grandpa Jian led a team to visit the academy. I seemed to have understood something after returning. Now I have reached level 97 soul power."
"Is it related to the academy?" Dai Mubai was confused.
Ning Rongrong, "I don't know."
Tang San said, "His Majesty Sword Douluo seems to be looking at us."
Xiao Wu, "It's an illusion. What does he see us doing?"
"He's really looking at us!" Oscar looked serious and his eyes were firm.
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded, "Oscar is right. My intuition is warning me."
The eight people stopped whispering.
Chi Ping's heart moved and he looked up. Kendo Chen Xin, who was supposed to be as cold and sharp as a sword, smiled at him. Chi Ping nodded subconsciously and Chen Xin nodded slightly.
——What's going on, Sword Douluo is paying attention to me?
Chi Ping complained in his heart.
At the end of the draw, the emcee announced the teams for the opening match based on the results.
"The first match of the first round of the qualifiers that will be held next will be between Tiandou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy. All participating colleges will withdraw. Half an hour later, the game will officially begin."
Since other colleges did not have a game today, they left the rest area directly after exiting the field, and were led by the staff to the stands specially prepared for the players to watch the game. Because Tiandou Royal Academy is the symbol of the royal family of the Tiandou Empire, the treatment is different from that of ordinary academies, so they do not rest here. Soon, only the Shrek Academy group was left in the rest area of Nuo University.
"Who stays?" Chi Ping asked.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but we didn’t want to stay in the rest area.
Everyone is young and passionate.
Opening match!
It will be very glorious after winning!
"It seems that no one wants to stay." Chi Ping seemed to have expected it, and took out a stack of cards that had been prepared from his school uniform pocket. "Eight cards, one suit, seven white cards, keep the one who drew the suit. Master the intuitive back draw. Any questions?"
"no problem."
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Xiao Wu drew cards in turn.
"Shall I stay?" Xiao Wu showed the card with a grimace.
"This is luck!" Ma Hongjun said proudly.
Tang San comforted Xiao Wu, "You can play in the next game."
"Both team members are on stage!"
The emcee's voice spread throughout the venue through the amplified soul guide.
The lights on the field turned on, and the participating students from the two colleges slowly appeared on the stage.
The Shrek team chose the 2-3-2 formation, while the Tiandou Royal Academy team chose the 5-2 formation.
"The first game of the first round of the qualifiers has officially begun."
At the referee's signal, this announced the official start of the first qualifying match for this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.
Dai Mubai raised his hands in front of his chest and shouted: "Brothers, activate the martial spirit!"
When both sides released their martial souls at the same time and all the soul rings appeared in the eyes of the audience, the sound of surprise spread in the audience.
"One, two, three, four, five, five soul sects, how is this possible!"
At the VIP table, Emperor Xueye looked startled.
"Sect Leader Ning, this is the senior soul master academy that you recommended for examination last year, right? That Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master is your daughter?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "Not bad."
"This Shrek Academy was trained by your sect?" Emperor Xueye asked with a smile.
Salas glanced sideways.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cannot produce such outstanding young people. However, our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does have some cooperation with Shrek Academy."
"Is that so..." Emperor Xueye's expression remained unchanged and his tone was drawn out.
Salas frowned, wondering if there was any hidden message in Ning Fengzhi's words.
On the stage, the Tiandou Royal Academy team was a little dumbfounded.
Both sides have the best soul ring combination. Seven soul sects fight five soul sects and two soul sects. They can't think of the possibility of winning.
"superior!"
The captain of the Tiandou Royal Academy team gritted his teeth and gave the order.
The auxiliary soul master among the two soul masters at the rear of the formation was in enhanced condition, and the five beast soul masters in the front charged towards Shrek.
Ning Rongrong provided everyone with boosts. Chi Ping and Dai Mubai stepped forward and stopped two of them with their physical strength alone without using soul skills, leaving one for Zhu Zhuqing to concoct.
Ma Hongjun spread his phoenix wings and flew into the air, using his first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Wire, to burn the remaining two members of the Tiandou Royal Academy team and scurry all over the ground.
The gap between the two sides was too great, and the resistance of the Tiandou Royal Academy team was as harmless as a kitten in front of the Shrek team.
Two minutes later, Chi Ping knocked down the last player on the opposite side with one punch.
"In the first game of the first round of the qualifiers, Shrek Academy won!"
There was a roar of applause from the audience.
Although this game is not exciting, the food abuse game is very enjoyable to watch!
