Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

"How to say?"

After leaving the palace, Yan Shaozhe went straight to the special base of Shrek Academy in Mingdu.

In the brightly lit living room, Xuan Zi, Song Lao and Jing Lao were all there.

Seeing that Master Xuan asked him, Yan Shaozhe did not delay and told him everything that happened in the East Palace in brief words.

After learning the whole process, Elder Song frowned slightly: "There are indeed not many real examples to determine the harm of the abyss, so it is inevitable that they don't believe it. Even if we believe Yu Hao, even if the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire personally witnessed the invasion of the abyss, it did not cause much impact after all."

"Then how should we solve it? Should we continue to choose to kill Xu Tianran, or use public opinion to crush him?" Xuan Zi asked in a deep voice.

"I think this matter should be decided by Mr. Mu." Mr. Jing interrupted.

Xuan Zi and Song Lao fell silent, and some chose to agree with him.

Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment: "From my perception, Xu Tianran said that the Sun Moon Empire would not continue the war with the Xing Luo Empire. There was no sign of deception in his eyes and tone. Of course, it is not ruled out that he hid it very well and even fooled me."

"He must have hidden it well." Xuan Zi complained, "We are not unaware of the ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire. How could they say that they would not continue to go to war with the Xing Luo Empire? But at this stage, he should not be lying. After all, the Second Prince Xu Tianming has not been dealt with, the Emperor is not dead, and Xu Tianran is not qualified to start a war."

"Unless Xu Tianran is crazy enough to kill his father and brother, he can't do this before he has absolute power over the Sun Moon Empire."

"Hiss." Old Song was surprised: "Xuan Zi, Xuan Zi, you can actually analyze the situation. The sun rises in the west?"

Xuan Zi's forehead darkened, and he said unhappily: "What do you mean? Can't I analyze the situation like you guys?"

Mr. Song and Mr. Jing laughed.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't help laughing as well.

"Since the situation has come to this, I might as well go back to the academy and inform the teacher of the situation as soon as possible." Yan Shaozhe said with a restrained smile.

"Let me go. If we just compare speed, no one in Douluo Continent is faster than me." Old Song shook his head.

"Okay then." Yan Shaozhe didn't force it. If it was Mr. Song, it wouldn't take too long to go back and forth from Mingdu to the academy.

"It's getting late, I'll go back to Mingyue Hotel first."

The work was temporarily done and Yan Shaozhe left immediately.

As for Old Song, he was not idle either. He left Mingdu under the cover of night.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Lexuan respectfully told Yan Shaozhe, who was drinking tea, what happened yesterday.

"Haotian Sect?" Yan Shaozhe's eyes were filled with surprise. "Wang Dong'er's status in Haotian Sect is very high. Why would their disciples try to take her away by force?"

Zhang Lexuan remained silent, she didn't know the inside story.

"Did something happen to the two leaders, Niu Tian and Tai Tan?" Yan Shaozhe frowned and thought to himself.

The leader of Haotian Sect is not surnamed Tang, and the young leader is not surnamed Tang either. He actually had doubts about this a long time ago.

However, even his own teacher did not dare to say that he would definitely win against these two people. Who in the Haotian Sect could be so strong that he could suppress the two of them and then come around to deal with Wang Donger?
"teacher."

At this time, Ma Xiaotao, who had finished washing up and left the room, also came to the living room. She and Zhang Lexuan looked at each other, and then her eyes met with Yan Shaozhe. "No matter what the Haotian Sect wants to do, it can't change the fact that Dong'er is a member of our academy. If they want to make trouble, they will have to pay the price."

Looking at the disciples with solemn expressions, Yan Shaozhe's eyes became more restrained and he said seriously, "I will investigate matters related to the Haotian Sect, and you just need to live your life normally."

"Compared to the Haotian Sect, we should pay more attention to the Sea God Family. After all, the resources you are using for cultivation at this stage were taken from them."

“And they came to participate in the competition this time just for us.”

Yan Shaozhe's words reminded Zhang Lexuan: "There is another force that we almost forgot about."

Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao looked at her subconsciously.

"Holy Spirit Church." Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice, "There is no reason for the Holy Spirit Church not to participate in such a feast for the Soul Fighting Competition."

Ma Xiaotao hesitated and said, "But I see that the people in Mingdu seem to hate evil spirit masters. If they participate in the competition, won't they be spitted to death by the crowd?"

Zhang Lexuan said calmly, "It's just disgust. There is always a way to solve it. In other words, at least so far, we have three tough opponents in the Fighting Spirit Competition."

"No matter how tough the opponent is, it will still be defeated in front of you little monsters." Yan Shaozhe said with a smile, "Le Xuan, Xiao Tao, go and wake everyone up. I need to explain the rules of the fighting spirit competition to you. After it's over, you can do whatever you want."

"Yes."

The things that she was worried about had already been reported, and Zhang Lexuan knew that her next task was to lead the team well.

Soon, all the staff came to the living room in an orderly manner.

But what surprised Yan Shaozhe was that everyone had a playful look on their faces, while Wang Dong'er looked shy.

We are all experienced people, how can we not understand? Yan Shaozhe immediately glared at Huo Yuhao seriously. My god, you are really good at having fun during the competition. Although I know Huo Yuhao definitely didn't do anything bad, he should be more restrained during this period.

After being glared at by his teacher, Huo Yuhao laughed dryly and said nothing.

However, after sleeping for a whole night with Dong'er's soft and fragrant body in his arms, he felt extremely energetic.

"Ahem." Yan Shaozhe coughed a few times, attracting everyone's attention. "The Fighting Spirit Competition will officially begin tomorrow. I will now tell you about the competition system."

"The participating teams from the three departments, sect, family, and college, are all mixed together, and the opponents are determined by drawing lots. The competition is divided into preliminaries and finals."

"During the preliminaries, two types of players will be randomly selected from the individual battle, the two-two-three battle, and the team battle. The winner will stay, and the loser will be eliminated and enter the resurrection group."

"If two teams each win a certain battle method, they will then fight in the other battle methods that were not chosen to determine the final winner."

"Finally, the preliminaries will determine the top 32 teams."

"Dean Yan, what does the resurrection group mean?" Wang Qiuer raised her hand and asked in confusion.

Curiosity flashed in everyone's eyes; it was the first time they heard of the existence of the Resurrection Group.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, “As the name implies, the resurrection group is to give those teams that were eliminated during the preliminaries a chance, because there are a total of sixty-four teams in the finals of this competition.”

"Sixty-four teams?" Xiao Xiao covered her mouth in surprise.

"Can we play like this?" Everyone else was surprised.

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows. This was very different from the original competition system he knew in history.

In the living room, expressions of surprise were heard one after another. Who could have thought that this year's competition would change so much.

The last competition was held in Xingluo City. It was really during the preliminary round. If you lost, you just packed up and went home. How could this be possible?

Yan Shaozhe said: "If we count based on the number of participating teams in the past, we naturally wouldn't change the competition system like this, but there is no other way. According to the first-hand information I got this morning, the number of participating teams is close to 450. With so many teams, many of them have come from far away. We can't just go home after losing a game."

"So the Sun-Moon Empire Organizing Committee created a resurrection group. After the normal preliminaries are over, the teams in the resurrection group will compete for the remaining 32 spots in the final round."

"In this way, the participating teams will enjoy the game, the audience will enjoy the game, and everyone will enjoy it. Isn't that wonderful?"

After hearing what Yan Shaozhe said, everyone looked at each other in surprise. It seemed that this was indeed quite interesting.

If you don't want to enter the resurrection group, then a team that can win all the way and enter the top 64 normally must be a strong team, which guarantees the level of the team that can enter the top 64 normally.

At the same time, it also gives some unlucky teams new opportunities. For example, if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy meets Shrek Academy in the first game and is eliminated and goes home, oh, they are close to home, so it doesn’t matter, but it’s embarrassing.

He was given high hopes, but after a fight, he had to pack up and go home. Wouldn't he be spitted at by the villagers? Or maybe he would be pelted with eggs or rotten vegetable leaves.

Therefore, the resurrection match also gives teams that encounter such situations an opportunity.

The team that relies on the resurrection match to enter the top 64 will most likely be a slightly weaker team, because weak teams do not have the ability to win.

"Okay, keep listening."

Calling a halt to the students who were sighing, Yan Shaozhe continued, "The size of the venue for this competition has also changed. The original square competition platform with a diameter of 100 meters has been increased to 150 meters, and there is no longer a limit on the flight altitude."

"One hundred and fifty meters?"

“No height limit?”

Everyone frowned. Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "It's normal for the venue to become larger. As the age limit for participating teams has been relaxed, their overall strength is generally stronger than in the previous competition. If the venue is small, they may not be able to display their skills. A typical example is Xiao Tao. In the previous competition, she appeared as a Soul Saint, and her full-strength ranged soul skills almost covered most of the venue, making it impossible for others to fight."

When her name was called, Ma Xiaotao immediately put her hands on her hips, tilted her head slightly, and showed a proud expression. At that time, she was also very proud.

"So almost all the participating teams are in favor of the larger venue. As for not limiting the height, it is purely a special favor given by the Sun-Moon Organizing Committee to its own teams. After all, apart from soul masters with flying spirits, soul guides will benefit the most. You all know how advanced the flying soul guide technology is in the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Is there no one objecting to not having a height limit?" Zhang Lexuan asked with a frown.

Yan Shaozhe said: "Yes, but the money given by the Sun-Moon Empire is too much. As long as you participate in the competition, you will immediately receive a reward of 500,000 gold soul coins. Many weak teams that want to come here to play soy sauce also give face to the Sun-Moon Empire in this regard."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

His money-making ability is indeed well-deserved.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Of course, it can't be that simple. The Sun Moon Empire has figured out the desire of the old soul masters of the three kingdoms in the original Douluo Continent to pursue respectability. With just one sentence, they have blocked many forces."

"Times are changing. Now that soul guides are allowed to be included in the Soul Fighting Competition, the young people of the new era should face more challenges. If they are afraid of soul guides, they can cancel the rule of not restricting height."

"After being provoked like this, no one objected. If they objected, they would be considered afraid of soul guides. Of course, as usual, the existence of fixed soul guides will never be allowed to appear."

"Okay, I've said what I need to say. Tonight at 8 o'clock, all teams will hold a draw ceremony in three hotels. According to the usual practice, our Shrek Academy will be in the first place."

"Tomorrow, it will be your turn as little monsters to perform."

"Also, take this."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe threw a storage bag to Zhang Lexuan.

The latter took it and looked at it puzzledly.

Others also came over curiously.

Yan Shaozhe said: "There are a total of 28 level 5 invincible shields here, two for each participating team member."

Level 5 invincible shield?

Surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.

"There are also hundreds of top-level healing pills made by Master Zhuang. If you are injured, just take them. You don't even need to hire a healing spirit master. The effect of each pill is no less than the healing ability of a healing spirit master who has activated his martial spirit's true body."

A ripple appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Wow, the Shrek Academy in this life is really generous.

On the last day before the competition began, outside Mingdu, there was still a steady stream of tourists coming to this huge city.

Ordinary inns and luxury hotels are all fully booked. Even if some stores raise their prices five times, there are still people willing to pay generously.

The commercial streets in each major district were packed with people, and the tourists did not seem to be here to watch the game but to buy goods.

There were too many people and the congestion was severe, but for most local people in Mingdu, this did not bother them. On the contrary, because of the large number of tourists, the empire sent out a large number of patrol soldiers, who patrolled back and forth almost 24 hours a day. The activities of any underground forces shrank, at least you would not see a group of gangsters fighting each other with knives late at night as usual.

Thieves and human traffickers are almost extinct.

At the same time, tens of millions of people, including local residents and tourists in Mingdu, received a piece of news, that is, the opening ceremony of the competition will be free, including the competition on that day.

But starting from the second day, all games required payment to watch, one gold soul coin per person.

The ticket purchase point has been opened, and it is located in the three major fighting spirit arenas inside Mingdu.

Of course, the venue of the competition is not in the Fighting Spirit Arena.

But this did not prevent the fighting arena from being crowded with people, and the long queues stretched for who knows how far.

At seven o'clock in the evening, registration officially ended. There were a total of 448 teams in the three hotels, which directly broke the record for the number of teams in any fighting spirit competition in the past ten thousand years.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Mingyue Hotel had already been decorated.

There are a total of 2100 teams staying in this hotel, with a total of participants.

Of course it is impossible to have everyone crowded into the hall for the draw ceremony, so the leaders of each team are responsible for it.

The leaders of one hundred and fifty teams, two leaders in each team, a total of three hundred people, gathered in the hall.

"Xuan Ya Sect, Tian Long Sect, Qing Xin Sect, Wan Xiang Sect, Han Shan Valley, Tian Yin Family, Xue Hun Family."

"Glorious Light Sect, Tiangang Sect, Giant Elephant Sect, Crazy Leopard Clan, Poison Soul Sect, Sword Sect, Divine Arrow Sect, Douling Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Shrek Academy, Wild Beast Sect, Blue Sea Academy, Storm Academy, Di'ao Academy, Glacier Academy, Qianling Academy, Tianling Academy."

……

On the stage, staff from the Sun and Moon Organizing Committee were reading out the names of the teams that had completed the draw ceremony.

The team leaders were looking around intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes were not calm. Next, the teams of other team leaders at the scene might become obstacles to their own team.

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao occasionally looked away. They had heard what Huo Yuhao had said earlier about some teams that needed special attention.

The Tianlong Sect, the Jian Sect, the Shenjian Sect, and the Kuangshou Sect are all top forces with Titled Douluo in charge and should not be underestimated.

"Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy."

Suddenly, a familiar name was called out.

A smile appeared on Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao's faces, and they nodded to the beautiful woman who was the leader of Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy.

But the next second, their smiles disappeared.

Even the hall caused quite a stir.

"Haotian Sect, Snow Demon Sect, Zhengtian Academy..."

The Snow Demon Sect and the Zhengtian Academy are both unfamiliar to people, but the Haotian Sect is very memorable.

For a moment, the leaders of countless forces in the hall silently looked at the tall and strong old man standing in a corner.

The palms of those hands were covered with calluses, the aura was condensed and not transparent at all, and the eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Title Douluo."

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao looked at each other slightly.

The elder of Haotian Sect appeared.

Beside this old man, there is a middle-aged man. Although his cultivation is not as good as that of a Titled Douluo, he has definitely reached the level of a Soul Douluo.

The old man seemed to have noticed something, his eyes turned slightly and locked onto Zhang Lexuan.

As if knowing Zhang Lexuan's identity, a trace of fluctuation flashed across the old man's calm eyes, but there was no threat. He even nodded politely.

Zhang Lexuan returned the same greeting.

However, until the very end, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao did not hear the names of the Sea God Family and the Holy Spirit Church. It seemed that the former did not live in the Mingyue Hotel, and the latter did not even participate in the competition at all.

After the drawing ceremony, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao talked with the leaders of some familiar forces for a while, and then returned to the villa.

The team members all came forward to meet him.

Then I found out who my first opponent would be.

A sect from the southern city of the Xingluo Empire, called the Chihuo Sect.

The internal soul masters are all of fire attribute.

Then, everyone discussed the candidates for tomorrow's battle. Not only Shrek Academy, but on the same night, in the three hotels, except for a very few teams that thought they were invincible, all other forces began to discuss countermeasures.

No one wants to start the competition on the first day and then be forced to join the resurrection group. That would be too embarrassing.

In such an atmosphere, a new day arrives.

A hint of paleness had already appeared on the horizon. (End of this chapter)
