Chapter 155 The first battle begins
It wasn't until the next day when the sun was high in the sky that Lin Chen woke up.
"I think the competition has already started. Yesterday was the drawing ceremony. Alas, I have to be on my way again."
The drawing ceremony takes place the day before the start of the competition. The person who went to draw lots on behalf of the Tang Sect was Xu Sanshi. Among the one hundred and sixty-seven participating teams, the team with the best luck will get a bye. Xu Sanshi's luck was obviously not that good. Therefore, as the true defending champions of the last competition, they are about to appear in the first round. The bye spot in the first round was officially decided by the Sun Moon Empire and given to the Shrek Academy representative team. The team led by Wang Qiuer will directly enter the next round and will receive a full twelve points.
However, no one raised any objection to this preferential treatment. After all, Shrek Academy has achieved too many brilliance in this competition, and they deserve it.
Lin Chen traveled all day and night. Yesterday was the lottery ceremony, so today is the time when the competition officially begins.
Afterwards, Lin Chen walked directly to Yan Shaozhe's office.
"Come in."
Lin Chen opened the door and walked in.
Seeing that it was Lin Chen, Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Lin Chen, thank you this time. No matter how you perform in this competition, I will ensure that you graduate smoothly."
However, his words seemed a bit redundant. With Lin Chen's cultivation level, he was like a god in the competition. Who could last one round under him? Even Tang Ya, the blue silver saint of the Holy Spirit Sect, was directly captured alive by Lin Chen, let alone those who were weaker.
"Well, Dean, today is the official start day of the competition, right?"
"Well, that's right, those who want to join our Shrek competition have already started." Yan Shaozhe replied.
"Then I'll go back first."
Yan Shaozhe nodded and waved his hand to signal Lin Chen to go back to the game.
Lin Chen no longer stayed and flew towards Mingdu with his sword.
On the other side, Mingdu
"Quiet." A deep voice suddenly sounded, and strong pressure spread throughout the entire place instantly. The moment this voice appeared, everyone felt their eyes go dark, as if there was a dark cloud pressing over them, and even their breathing became rapid. All the discussions disappeared instantly in this low voice. The entire competition venue and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the viewing area suddenly became quiet, and you could hear the drop of a needle.
The moment he heard this voice, Huo Yuhao's expression changed in shock, and he almost blurted out, "Dark Holy Dragon, Dragon King Douluo Long Xiaoyao."
To others, this voice was unfamiliar, but to him, it was a very familiar voice, old but full of majesty. In the beginning, it was the owner of this voice who blocked his way, making Mr. Xuan also afraid of him.
He was actually there, and he personally took action in order to increase the momentum of the Sun and Moon Empire. Huo Yuhao is now absolutely sure that the Holy Spirit Cult has an extremely close relationship with the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Every citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire and guests who have come from afar, here, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I welcome you. At the same time, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I announce: The continent-wide young senior soul master elite competition begins now. "Orange made a simple opening statement without saying too much, announcing the official start of this competition.
"The regent is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." The people of the Sun and Moon Empire collectively knelt on the ground and saluted the regent who, although sitting in a wheelchair, would soon ascend the throne and become a new generation of emperor.
"My dear friends, please take a seat." Xu Tianran said calmly.
Jing Hongchen sat on Orange's side, while Zhong Liwu sat on Xu Tianran's side.
"The rules of the competition will be announced below." A loud voice sounded. Then came the announcement of the rules of this competition, the same instructions that each team received.
"Lin Chen, I feel the breath of Extreme Douluo." Lin Chen suddenly heard Qian Renxue's voice while flying. Lin Chen guessed that it was the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
"Is it coming from where we're going?"
"Well, it seems that after thousands of years, there are still so many well-hidden strong men on the mainland!" Qian Renxue also looked a little solemn. If Lin Chen was targeted, she might have to use her power.
"What are you afraid of? Sister Ren Xue, as long as we don't provoke him, it will be fine?" Lin Chen said with a relaxed expression.
"You are really big-hearted, aren't you afraid at all?"
Qian Renxue was also speechless about Lin Chen's mentality.
"Hai, doesn't my confidence come from you?"
Qian Renxue:......
"Get out!"
Lin Chen laughed, did not argue with Qian Renxue, and continued to fly towards Mingdu at a high speed.
That's what he said, but Lin Chen didn't put all his hopes on Qian Renxue. His own strength was the one he could rely on most at any time.
After the rules were read out, an old man walked up to the loudspeaker in front of the rostrum and said loudly: "The first match of the knockout round in the preliminaries - the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy versus the Dragon Slayer Sect. Both sides selected seven players and entered the waiting area. "
The waiting area is just in front of the pergola rest area. It is a special area. In fact, there are only seven chairs placed twenty meters apart.
According to the rules of previous competitions, the first game should have the previous championship team, and Shrek Academy received a bye in the first round of this competition, so naturally the second place in the previous competition, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, took the challenge. .
This is undoubtedly a trick played by the Sun and Moon Empire. On our own territory, we must at least show our momentum, and we cannot lose our momentum.
Soon, Huo Yuhao saw his old acquaintances - brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen walking at the front, followed by five young soul mentors he had never seen before. They went directly into the waiting area.
"The referee enters. The first contestant from both sides' individual knockout rounds enters." The voice of the old man in charge of presiding over the rostrum came out.
The first person to appear on behalf of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was Meng Hongchen. As the person whose cultivation level is second only to Xiao Hongchen in the team, she actually appeared first in the first game. It can be seen that the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy This first game is a sure win.
This is not only a matter of victory or defeat, but also related to the face of the Sun and Moon Empire.
On the Dragon Slayer side, a young man of short stature appeared. His appearance is a bit special, his head is somewhat flat, his stature is not tall, but he looks very thick, and his hands are particularly large, spread out on both sides of his body, like cattail fans.
Soon, both sides stood at one end.
The referee raised his right hand high, and the moment his palm fell, the first battle of the new continental youth soul master competition officially began.
