From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 202 The competition begins!
After realizing this, Salas really didn't dare to do anything to Leng Xiyao. He was just a small platinum bishop with the support of the Pope. If the Leng family expressed dissatisfaction with his unauthorized interference in the Leng family's internal affairs, he was afraid that his career as a platinum bishop would be over.

"Hmph! I won't bother with a junior like you!" Saras snorted coldly, then turned his head away and no longer looked at Leng Xiyao.

Leng Xiyao was not at all surprised by Sarath's attitude. In fact, her words just now were to point out her identity. At certain times, her identity as an abandoned girl was quite useful. At least people like Sarath didn't dare to do anything to her.

Seeing that Saras didn't dare to scold the girl, everyone else was shocked. Even Emperor Xue Ye and the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan couldn't help but glance sideways and look at Leng Xiyao seriously.

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, was not surprised at all, as he seemed to have known for a long time that Leng Xiyao had an unusual background.

After a short episode, the contestants in the competition venue below have entered and are standing in an orderly manner, each with an excited look on their face.

"Your Majesty, the contestants have all entered the venue, and it's time for you to speak." Seeing that Emperor Xue Ye was distracted, Ning Fengzhi spoke to bring his thoughts back.

The master of ceremonies on one side of the VIP table said loudly: "Now, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire to announce the opening of this competition."

After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Emperor Xue Ye came back to his senses and slowly stood up amid thunderous applause from the audience.

He waved to the audience and the participating soul masters below, and the applause from the audience soon stopped, and the huge square became silent.

A deep and resonant voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker soul guide: "I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire, on behalf of the Tiandou Empire and the organizer of this competition, announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is now open!"

As Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, the applause roared again and cheers rose one after another, but Tang San, who was present, suddenly discovered that the smile on the emperor's face was a little forced, as if he was not excited about this competition.

"Third brother, look, does the person on the stage look like Sister Yaoyao?" Xiao Wu was not interested in things like speeches. Instead, she saw Leng Xiyao who was not far from Emperor Xue Ye.

"Eh? It's true!"

Tang San looked in the direction of the voice and was shocked.

If they hadn't been together before entering the venue, Tang San would have had to wonder if the person sitting on the stage was Leng Xiyao's biological sister or something.

But if you think about it carefully, Leng Xiyao is so elusive, it seems that it is not surprising that she appears anywhere!
After the speech was finished, Emperor Xue Ye sat back in his original position, and the emcee's voice sounded again: "Next, please invite the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi, to give a speech for this competition!"

As Ning Fengzhi stood up, applause broke out again. As the top power in the Tiandou Empire, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was naturally welcomed by many people.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, put his hands together, and said loudly: "I am very happy to be invited as the guest of honor for the opening ceremony of this competition. As the noblest profession on the continent, every soul master has to go through many trials in his development. I hope you can win glory for the empire, as well as for your own academy or family. The empire needs talents like you!"

"Master Ning, you are the most powerful auxiliary spirit master. On behalf of the audience watching the game, I would like to ask you, which of the 28 teams participating in the Tiandou City regional qualifiers do you think will win the most?" The emcee asked immediately after Ning Fengzhi finished speaking.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi turned around and looked at Leng Xiyao, who was smiling, and then looked at Sarath, who had a grim expression on his face. Finally, he said frankly: "In this competition, I am most optimistic about the Shrek Academy team."

"Oh?" The host asked in surprise, "Shrek Team, is that the academy in Tiandou City that has emerged as a rising star and directly entered the top ranks recently?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly and said, "That's right. Everyone can see the strength of Shrek's teaching staff. Not only are the teachers in the academy no worse than those in other academies, but they are also willing to train ordinary soul masters with poor talents to become professional talents and contribute to the construction of the empire. From this point of view, I think the courage of Shrek Academy is unmatched by any other academy."

"This does not mean that their participating team will be worse than others because of the complicated subjects offered by the academy. I firmly believe that although the Shrek team has never participated in the Soul Master Competition, its performance will definitely surprise everyone."

Leng Xiyao was completely confused by Ning Fengzhi's crazy flattery. How come this didn't seem like an ordinary introduction, but more like a public advertisement?
Ning Fengzhi's actions were somewhat confusing to the MC. After Ning Fengzhi returned to his seat, he quickly changed the subject with a smile: "Since Sect Master Ning is so optimistic about the Shrek team, then let's wait and see what happens to the Shrek team! Next, please invite the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall to draw lots for the first round of the preliminaries!"

To be honest, Saras was feeling quite embarrassed now. After being scolded by Leng Xiyao, he didn't dare to retort. He felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Hearing the master's words, Salas quickly stood up, walked to the master under the guidance of the court maid, and began to draw lots. He did not say a word during the whole process, but the expression on his face seemed a little gloomy, as if he was thinking about how to do it behind the scenes.

"In the first round of the preliminaries, Tianshui College vs. Canghui College!"

"In the first round of the preliminaries, Sun Moon Academy vs Blazing Fire Academy!"

"In the first round of the preliminaries, Xiangjia Academy vs. Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this result, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she was relieved. If there was no shady manipulation in the Saras lottery, then there really was something fishy.

Sarath had actually thought carefully about letting the Elephant Armor Academy directly confront the Shrek Academy.

Since Ning Fengzhi has taken a fancy to Shrek Academy, it will definitely be difficult to recruit people. It would be better to let the Elephant Armor Sect, which belongs to the Spirit Hall, send people to kill their spirit and also give Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye a slap in the face.

Each of the top three sects has four to six Titled Douluo, while the bottom four sects have two to three. Although the leader of the Elephant Armor Sect is not yet a Titled Douluo, the older generation above them has two Titled Douluo. What's more, most of the team members of the Elephant Armor Academy are direct descendants, trained as the third generation of reserve talents of the sect. Their team will definitely be much stronger than the Shrek Academy team.

The most important thing is that in the first qualifying match, no one knows who their opponent will be, but in the subsequent matches, they can know their opponents in advance so as to take preventive measures in advance. Therefore, if one wants to destroy Shrek Academy, this qualifying match is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
