The Heavenly Soul Empire can receive about two million gold soul coins from the daily entrance fee alone. In a month, that's 60 million gold soul coins. Excluding military expenses and investment, the empire can also make a lot of money. This is one of the reasons why the four empires are willing to host the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. You know, the tax revenue of Heavenly Dou City in a year is about this number!
Just as the audience entered, everyone from Shrek Academy also came to the contestant area and stood in line.
Today, everyone in Shrek Academy was wearing the traditional dark green uniform, which was the standard color of Shrek Academy. They were also standing in the first row of all the academies, and no academy had any objections to this. This was the glory that Shrek Academy had accumulated through its strength over thousands of years.
The contestants from the other academy standing at the back couldn't help but reveal some envy when they saw the current lineup of Shrek Academy. These were a group of geniuses that people looked up to!
For most academies, they are now praying in their hearts that they will not run into strong teams like Shrek Academy or Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the first round, otherwise it would be almost equivalent to announcing that they have been eliminated.
The contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy stood behind Shrek Academy, which made it easier for them to observe the Shrek Academy students in front of them.
The first thing they noticed was the tall and straight figure of Zhao Xin. He was so handsome that the girls in the team couldn't take their eyes off his tall figure.
Their attention was focused on Zhao Xin, staring at him for a long time, so long that Zhao Xin felt someone was spying on him and looked back.
Zhao Xin noticed that the person looking at him was from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the mortal enemy of Shrek Academy.
Having been discovered while peeking, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy stopped watching and turned their attention to other academies.
It took nearly half an hour for the audience to enter because there were simply too many people.
The originally empty Tiandou Square was now crowded with people. Fortunately, there were iron fences separating the squares into different areas, and soldiers were there to maintain order, so it didn't seem so chaotic.
By this time, the sun was already high in the sky.
"Silence." A huge voice suddenly spread throughout the venue. Upon hearing this voice, all the soldiers stood at attention and raised their spears. Suddenly, a solemn and murderous atmosphere spread throughout the venue, and the Tiandou Square, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."
"Wow--" People suddenly knelt down in large groups, and hundreds of thousands of people performed the same neat movements at the same time. The scene was truly spectacular.
The soldiers knelt on one knee, and all participating academies had received accurate notification in advance that they were allowed not to kneel, but they were required to bow 90 degrees to show respect to the emperor.
"Everyone, please stand up." The voice of the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire was amplified and transmitted by the soul amplifier. The people then stood up one after another, and the students of the participating academies also straightened their backs. Everyone's eyes were all cast on the top of the imperial city in front of them.
Emperor Wei'an of the Tianhun Empire stood on a high platform with his queen, looking down at the people below.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the most important event in our Douluo Continent Soul Master world. I am very happy that this year's competition is held in our Tianhun Empire. Here, on behalf of the Tianhun Empire, I welcome the representatives of various academies headed by Shrek Academy who have come from afar. I hope you will show your due demeanor in the next month of competition."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the students from the participating academies saluted again.
Emperor Wei'an of the Tianhun Empire smiled and nodded, "Okay, I declare that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition officially begins." With the emperor's loud announcement, the curtain of this grand event was unveiled.
"Long live, long live, long live!" the people shouted in unison. Emotions were aroused almost instantly.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." The sound of salutes rang out from the top of Tiandou City, and it lasted for 108 times before it stopped. Tiandou Square had already turned into a sea of ​​excitement and cheers.
The Emperor and Empress took their seats and waved to the Prime Minister beside them. The Prime Minister immediately understood and gave his subordinates the order to start the competition.
"According to the rules of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, the first round will be a knockout match. There are a total of 133 advanced soul master and soul guide academies registered for this competition. After the draw, one academy was given a bye in the first round. A total of 66 matches will be held. The first round is an elimination match. The loser will directly end their journey in this competition. Now, the first match will begin immediately. The two teams in the competition are the Simon Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Xingluo Empire, and the Shrek Academy team, the first academy on the continent, which has countless honors and has almost won all the championships in the past thousand years."
With this announcement from the competition host, the atmosphere in the entire Tiandou Square suddenly reached its peak.
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."
The voices calling out for Shrek Academy echoed in almost every corner of the square.
Faced with such a situation, the seven members of the reserve team who were about to play were all excited. Hundreds of thousands of people were shouting Shrek's name and cheering for Shrek. This was Shrek's eternal glory!
Zhao Xin was also very excited at this moment. He felt like a general about to go to war, carrying the expectations and hopes of all the people, just waiting to return victoriously.
"This is the glory that belongs to our Shrek Academy, and it will also be the glory that will soon belong to you. We also faced such a situation during the last competition. What I can tell you is that our opponents will be ten times more nervous and panicked than us, because we are Shrek Academy." Mu Xuhui's voice reached the ears of every reserve team member.
Wang Dengke also hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself. These cheers are for us, and they are the glory of our Shrek Academy. What is needed now is your explosion. After you go on stage, use your strength to prove to everyone the strength of our Shrek Academy. Go ahead, hold your chest high, and reward these supporters with your best spirit."
With the encouragement of the two seniors, the excited mood of the crowd finally calmed down a little.
But everyone's palms were still sweating. Of course, they didn't know that in the history of Shrek Academy, there had never been a reserve player in the first round. Because this first game represented the face of Shrek Academy, and facing such an enthusiastic audience, it was the first time for the reserve players to encounter it, which would definitely affect their mentality. Therefore, generally, all the main players would play in the first game.
So when Wang Yan proposed to let the reserve team play yesterday, Wang Dengke strongly opposed it.
At this moment, the host of the competition said, "Let us invite the players from Simon Advanced Soul Master Academy to the stage first."
At the back of the contestant area, a team of young players with troubled faces came out. They were the contestants from Simon High-level Soul Master Academy. In fact, the strength of Simon High-level Soul Master Academy was not bad, but unfortunately they met Shrek, and they were destined to be eliminated in the first round.
Zhao Xin walked out and stretched out his right hand. Ma Xiaotao immediately understood and placed her right hand on top. The others also stretched out their hands, and seven hands were put together, "Come on!".
Ling Luochen." Zhao Xin suddenly spoke.
Ling Luochen glanced over with a cold gaze. Even at such a face, her gaze was still cold.
"What's wrong, captain?" Yes, Zhao Xin was the captain of the reserve team. Ling Luochen expressed her respect by calling him captain at this moment.
"During the game, I want you to control all the opponents as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Ling Luochen nodded, his words were brief and powerful.
"The rest of you, each of you has your own duties. Do you understand?"
