"Don't be nervous. It's your opponents who need to be nervous. Let's show the other academies tomorrow that even if Shrek Academy uses reserve students under the age of fifteen, they won't stand a chance. All right, everyone go take a rest, gather your strength, and beat them up for me tomorrow."
"Hey, Teacher Wang, don't you make strategic deployments?" Dai Yuheng asked.
"What are you doing? Just follow Zhao Xin's instructions tomorrow."
Wang Yan left, and Zhao Xin also left with the reserve team. Only members of the main team were left in the meeting room.
Huang Panyi saw Wang Dengke still sighing there, so she went over to comfort him, "Captain, don't worry. We know the strength of the reserve team, and they will definitely win."
"What worries me now is that Wang Yan is acting on his own. It seems like he doesn't care about the game at all."
"Captain, you can't say that." Mu Xuhui said, "Teacher Wang Yan is quite capable, otherwise Master Xuan wouldn't have let him lead the team. Let's wait until the elimination round is over."
Zhao Xin and his team didn't know what the members of the main team were talking about, and he didn't tell them anything. Everyone left the meeting room and dispersed. The reserve team had no choice but to go back and rest.
It wasn't just the Shrek Academy team that was in the meeting. Almost all participating academies were mobilizing their forces. The same was true for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which was on the same floor as Shrek Academy.
They were always second in almost every competition, so their treatment in the Sky Soul Royal Hotel was almost the same as that of Shrek Academy. They also had only one goal, which was to strive for first place.
In the meeting room, two old men sat at the top, and a total of 14 students sat on both sides. The students on the left were obviously older, and the students on the right were slightly younger. Obviously, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy also sent a regular team and a reserve team for five years later.
The old man on the left of the first person had a straight nose and a square mouth, and he looked handsome and his face was as red as a date. His broad shoulders gave people a very solid feeling when he sat there. He said in a deep voice: "This time, Shrek Academy, like us, sent a regular team and a reserve team. Obviously, they have made sufficient preparations. They will play in the first game tomorrow. You must pay attention to them."
The old man on the right of the first person had a beard and was also tall. His short white hair was like steel needles. The hair on both sides of his temples connected to his beard, making him look very fierce. He said slowly, "Tomorrow you should pay attention to the members of the Shrek reserve team. There is not much hope for this batch, so pay attention to the next batch." He looked fierce, but his words were a bit timid.
A male student below was so angry that his face turned red. "I don't believe we can't win."
"Okay, I'll start arranging the first round of players now."
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines into Tiandou City, the whole city exudes an ancient and heavy atmosphere.
All the streets around Tiandou Square were blocked by soldiers in distinctive armor, especially near Tiandou Hotel, where there were thousands of soldiers stationed. The streets leading to Tiandou Square were under complete martial law, and only the participating teams from various academies who walked out of Tiandou Hotel were allowed to pass.
The competition stage for this year's All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was not built in the center of Tiandou Square, but in front of the main gate of the Imperial City. In this way, the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire and his civil and military officials can directly watch the battle from a high position on the top of the Imperial City. Not only is the view the best, but it is also safe and worry-free.
The entire competition stage is 100 meters long and wide, and 5 meters high. There are a total of 108 metal pillars outside the competition stage. These are not decorations, but real protective soul guides. After the competition begins, 108 soul masters will be in charge of protecting the competition stage. These metal pillars will form a protective shield to block all soul skills from spilling out, so as not to damage the imperial city or hurt innocent people.
It cost a huge amount of money just to build this competition stage. In addition, it would be difficult to mobilize 108 soul masters to serve for more than a month without national-level strength.
The square was lined with iron fences. These iron fences, which were about 1.5 meters high, would not affect the sight of most people, but divided the square into different areas. There were different entrances and exits for spectators to enter or leave. This made it much easier for the soldiers to maintain order. There was also a clear limit on the number of people that could be accommodated in each area.
The Imperial City is on the north side, facing south, and on the west side of the competition stage there is a luxurious rest area, specially provided for the participating teams of each academy. However, the rest area can only accommodate about 70 academies, and obviously there are no seats for the academies that were eliminated in the first round. This is not a waste, and it can also inspire the fighting spirit of the participating students.
Since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was changed to the current competition system, apart from the final stage of the competition, the most exciting part is actually the first round of eliminations, which is much more exciting and even more brutal than the subsequent round-robin competitions.
There can be tactical arrangements in the round-robin tournament, or even tactical failures. But this first round is a direct elimination tournament. If you lose, you have to leave. Every participating academy must pass this level. Even the previous champion Shrek Academy is the same. There are byes in the competition, but no academy can directly enjoy the privilege of a bye.
Early in the morning, the teachers from each academy had already arrived at the Imperial City and were drawing lots with the number plates they had received when they registered. At this time, the drawing ceremony had already been completed, and the officials from the Heavenly Soul Empire had counted the results of the drawing. Once the order of the competition was announced, the final preparations for the competition were completed.
The sun slowly rose into the sky from the distant east, and a warm feeling suddenly rose in Tiandou City, located in the center of the continent.
On the top of the imperial city, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe and a purple gold crown with eight treasures on his head stood with his hands behind his back. He was standing in the center of the main gate of the imperial city, which was also the best place to watch the competition below.
Beside him was a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace clothes, accompanying him respectfully and gently. A few steps behind were the civil and military officials of the Tianhun Empire.
"Your Majesty." An old man in bright red civil servant uniform quickly stepped forward and came to the man to salute respectfully. From the python pattern embroidered on his robe, it can be seen that this old man is of extremely noble status. It can be described as the highest position among officials.
"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?" asked the Emperor of the Tianhun Empire with a smile.
The Prime Minister said respectfully: "Everything has been arranged. The draw has been completed and the order of the matches has been arranged. The perimeter is in order. The public can be allowed to enter."
Emperor Tianhun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, pass on my order, and start letting people in at all checkpoints. Control the speed and maintain order. Whoever is in charge of a place where problems occur will be severely punished."
"Yes." The Prime Minister took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.
Soon, people began to enter Tiandou Square from all directions. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they gathered in the venue like long dragons.
Watching the All Continental High-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not free. The daily entrance fee is not too expensive, just two gold soul coins. However, although the Tiandou Square has strictly controlled the number of people entering, it can still accommodate more than 200,000 people to watch the game at the same time. Two gold soul coins are just the most basic price. The closer the area is to the competition stage, the more expensive the entrance fee is. In the circle of viewing areas closest to the competition stage, each person must pay 100 gold soul coins to enter.
For ordinary people, this is a huge sum of money, but for some businessmen and nobles, it is nothing.
The Tianhun Empire treated all spectators equally. If you have money, you can get a front seat at most, but the treatment is the same. You can only stand and watch the game, and there are no seats. This is to accommodate more people.
