Douluo Dalu: The Unrivaled Panlong Zhentian

Chapter 66 The competition begins, crushing the whole audience (seeking first order, seeking first order, high burst)
Qiangu Tianzong naturally came to the empty seat next to Ma Rulong and sat down, then asked: "I remember there is a rule that the college team that won the championship in the previous competition has privileges, right?"

"That's true. This means that Shrek Academy, which won the championship in the previous competition, has certain privileges."

Dean Lin Jiayi looked at Qiangu Tianzong, then looked at the others and said, "Since you are all here, I will tell you about the rules of this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

"According to the information we have obtained, there are a total of 133 high-level soul master academies participating in the competition."

“Currently, they are all staying in this hotel.”

"This is the first time for you to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, and every competition, so you also need to understand the schedule of the competition."

"The first is the preliminary round. The first round of the preliminary round is directly the knockout round. In other words, the losing side of the advanced spirit master academy participating in the knockout round will be eliminated directly."

"The first round will be a team battle, seven on seven. This should be familiar to you. And tomorrow we will draw lots to select the two academies that will form the team."

"Based on experience from previous competitions, we estimate that the first round of competition will take about three days to complete."

"After the first round, the advanced spirit master academies will be divided into groups. According to the rules of this competition, there will be eight groups in total, with about eight to nine teams in each group, and they will play a round-robin tournament. The last competition was a round-robin tournament with ten academy teams in each group."

"During the round-robin tournament, a random match system will be adopted."

"There are three types of random matches. The first is a single elimination system, the second is a three-on-two cooperative battle mode, and the third is a seven-on-seven team battle. This will test your overall strength. Every match will be drawn and then played. You will play in the mode you draw. This is the best test of your overall strength."

"The round-robin tournament means that you will fight against the other high-level soul master academies one by one, and the way of the battle is uncertain."

"The round-robin tournament adopts a points system. The senior soul master academy with the highest points in the group will advance to the top eight teams."

"I think you all know what's next."

Lin Jiayi: "After talking about the rules of the game, let's talk about business."

"Old Ma, come here!" Lin Jiayi said as he looked at an old man with a curly beard standing aside. He was also tall and had short white hair like steel needles. The hair on both sides of his temples was connected to his curly beard, and he looked fierce.

"Yeah!" Mr. Ma responded indifferently.

“In the past thousand years, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has lost to Shrek in almost every major competition, and has always been the runner-up. No matter what you think, I am very dissatisfied. So this time, you have only one goal, and that is to win the first place.” Old Ma was breathing out of his nose, seeming very dissatisfied.

After setting a goal for them, Mr. Ma continued, "According to previous intelligence, the Shrek Academy team participating in this competition has two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings."

"And our strength is not inferior at all. Tian Zong and Ma Rulong are both Soul Emperor-level fighters, and the rest of the regular contestants are also Soul Kings."

"Especially you, little brat. Don't think I don't know that none of the students present here can match you, so you must severely suppress that Shrek for me."

The nominated Qiangu Tianzong narrowed his eyes and said, "No problem!"

At this moment, Lin Jiayi, the Dean of Studies, took over the conversation again, "According to our observation, there are only nine people from Shrek Academy this time. I feel that there must be something fishy going on. After consultation with Lao Ma, we finally used people who had infiltrated the Xing Luo Empire, and now we have obtained accurate information."

"When Shrek signed up, there were only those nine people who signed up, four of whom were around nineteen years old, and the other five were under fifteen years old."

"I think you should know what I'm going to say." Lin Jiayi looked at the people on both sides, as if wanting to see if anyone could respond.

"Is there something wrong with Shrek Academy? They didn't send seven regular team members to participate in the competition." Ma Rulong said after a moment's silence.

"Be sure, Shrek, something must have gone wrong." Qiangu Tianzong added.

"Humph! No matter what went wrong with Shrek or what, they actually sent out such a student to sign up. This is a naked contempt for our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor students."

“Ma Rulong!! You are the captain of the team, and you have seen the situation of Shrek. If we lose to Shrek Academy in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, there will be no need for you to enter Mingde Hall again.” Old Ma’s voice was as loud as a bell!
"Haha~" Suddenly, Qiangu Tianzong chuckled. Then many people from the Sun Moon Team and the Reserve Team looked at him with admiration. Qiangu Tianzong was the first person who dared to do this in front of Master Ma.

Watching Mr. Ma scolding Ma Rulong, this is one of the reasons why Qiangu Tianzong doesn't want to be the captain, because the captain is the first person responsible, and he will be the one to be scolded if anything bad happens.

"Don't be too arbitrary, Mr. Ma!"

"Tianzong boy, what do you mean?" Old Ma's eyes gradually became more dangerous.

"Didn't I ask this question before? The champion team has privileges. They may have encountered some troubles, but how can you judge that Shrek has no one left?" Qiangu Tianzong is not inferior to this overly arbitrary warrior.

"Of course, even if they send people, it will be useless. In front of us, the enemy will either flee or be defeated." Qiangu Tianzong slowly pitched his hand and clenched his fist slightly.

"Wow~" Meng Hongchen looked at Qiangu Tianzong with admiration and exclaimed unconsciously.

Xiao Hongchen on the side looked helplessly at his infatuated sister.

“Brother Qiangu has such strong self-confidence.” Huo Yuhao looked at Qiangu Tianzong steadily.

"Hey! Xiao Yuhao! He really has the confidence to say such things. I've taken a look at him and I don't know how many times stronger he is now than he was a few months ago."

“Compared to you, this human does have some strength! Of course, in front of me, he’s just a bug that can be crushed to death at any time.” A noble and domineering female voice sounded again in Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

"Yes! Who can compare with the emperor of the Far North!" Huo Yuhao's personality has gradually become smoother over the past year.

"Okay, Tianzong, as long as you have this confidence." Lin Jiayi said.

In fact, everyone knows it well. Because Qiangu Tianzong is a soul master and soul instructor, his strength was already on par with that of the then high-level soul king Ma Rulong when he was still a soul master.

Now he is a Soul King at a young age, and he is also a sixth-level soul engineer. If nothing unexpected happens, his fifth soul ring must be a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Therefore, everyone speculates that Qiangu Tianzong should be stronger than Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong knew this best. He had fought with Qiangu Tianzong before, and only he knew the pressure the opponent put on him. He was very sure that he was no match for Qiangu Tianzong.

"However, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is a very large event. In addition to Shrek Academy, we also need to pay attention to these advanced soul master academy teams."

"Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy, Douling Academy, Zhengtian Academy, Di'ao Academy, Yunluo Academy, Qianling Academy, Changning Academy, Tianling Academy." Qiangu Tianzong took over Lin Jiayi's words and named several high-level soul master academies.

"Huh?" Lin Jiayi looked at Qiangu Tianzong in surprise.

"It seems that Tianzong has already found out everything! Haha!" Lin Jiayi said with a smile.

"It's just that I took advantage of arriving a few days earlier!" Qiangu Tianzong responded calmly.

"Humph! Apart from Shrek Academy, no one can be a match for our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy." Xiao Hongchen sneered at the side. He was naturally qualified to speak, because his grandfather was the immediate superior of them!

Ma Rulong groaned, "Hmm!"

Then he continued, "Having said that, we must not take it lightly when we encounter these academies. This time, the fighting strength of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is unprecedentedly strong. We will definitely take the championship from Shrek."

Although Qiangu Tianzong gave him half of the right to speak, fortunately he didn't hate Qiangu Tianzong.

Moreover, it seems that no one wants to provoke a genius as an opponent for no reason.

"Do we need to make any arrangements for tomorrow's game?" asked a female member of the team.

"Lin Xi, in the first round of eliminations, with our strength, there is no need to discuss any tactics. You are too unconfident in ourselves!" said Li Yan, a member of the starting team.

"That's right!" Mika echoed.

"Hahahaha! Well said, this is the confidence we want!" Mr. Ma's emotions are difficult to describe. Anyway, they are so changeable and confusing.

Also because of Qiangu Tianzong, Xiao Hongchen's arrogance and temper were smoothed out a lot, but the strength of him and Meng Hongchen is not weak at all.

Well! I was beaten...

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Xingluo City, it gave this already solemn capital of the Xingluo Empire an even more solemn atmosphere.

The entire capital of the Xingluo Empire was under martial law last night. When dawn arrived, people could clearly see that the streets were all blocked by soldiers in heavy armor.

The soldiers manned the passage that led all the way to the competition venue.

The competition venue was specially built by the Xingluo Empire in front of the main gate of the imperial city for the convenience of the royal family and other dignitaries. Soul guides were also used in the construction materials, and the defense force is strong, so holding a competition should not be a problem.

Early in the morning, the leading teachers of the various advanced soul master academies had already arrived at the Imperial City. They drew lots with the competition number plates they received when they registered. At this time, the drawing ceremony had been completed. The officials of the Xingluo Empire had counted the results of the drawing. Once the order of the competition was announced, the final preparations for the competition were completed.

On the other side, spectators visiting the competition were also entering the venue in an orderly manner, and the soldiers were guarding to prevent stampedes.

As the sun gradually rose, the first person who organized the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition also climbed to the best viewing point.

This person was none other than the Emperor of the Xing Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei. Beside him was his queen, and behind him were the ministers of the Xing Luo Empire.

The entry of the audience made the smile on Emperor Xu Jiawei's face even more intense. In his eyes, these audiences were the empire's finances!

Watching the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not free. The daily entrance fee is not too expensive, just two gold soul coins. However, although Xingluo Plaza has strictly controlled the number of people entering, it can 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 area closest to the competition stage, each person must pay 100 gold soul coins to enter.

Such an entrance fee might be a large sum of money for ordinary civilians, but for those businessmen and nobles, it is nothing at all.

The Xingluo 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, Xingluo City's annual tax revenue is about this amount! It's simply a huge profit.

When the audience entered the venue, the 133 participating colleges all put on their team uniforms and stood in the contestant area.

The Shrek Academy's ten thousand years of honor made the Shrek Academy's people stand in the first row, and Qiangu Tianzong's Sun and Moon Team was not far from them.

As time approaches, the opening ceremony of the All-Road Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition has finally begun.

Emperor Xu Jiawei appeared in front of everyone, and then gave a speech full of ambition.

"."

"Okay! Now, I declare that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition officially begins." With the loud announcement of the Xingluo Emperor, the curtain of this grand event was unveiled.

The audience now shouted long live in unison.

At this moment, the emotions of everyone present were instantly aroused at the emperor's start.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." The roar of the salute also announced the beginning of the continent's grand event that takes place once every five years.

The host came on stage again to explain the rules of the game. Because there were 133 participating teams, one team would have a bye in the first elimination round. I don't know if it was because of the change, but Shrek's luck came. In the first elimination round, Shrek got a bye.

When Wang Yan got a bye, he was relieved. At the same time, he was looking forward to the academy bringing the substitute students to the competition as soon as possible. It would be difficult for the remaining people to hold on!
At this time, a group of people from Shrek Academy were struggling to make their way towards the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire!

Shrek Academy had a bye, but the gears of fate smoothly shifted to the Sun and Moon Team.

"Next, the first match will begin soon. The two teams are the team from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Douling Empire and the team from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy of the Sun Moon Empire."

Shrek Academy did not play, and the audience was in a slightly depressed mood. After all, Shrek Academy was the number one high-level soul master academy in the continent, and had won countless championships.

The host of the competition continued to speak, "Let us first invite the players from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to the stage."

At the back of the contestant area, a group of pale-faced young players came out. But judging from their expressions, they looked very depressed! Some of them even had shaky calves!
The students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy avoided the first place, but failed to avoid the second place.

In this competition venue, the Imperial City is on the north side, facing south, and a luxurious rest area is built on the west side of the competition stage, which is specially provided for the participating teams of each academy. However, the rest area can only accommodate about 70 academies. Obviously, there are no seats for the academies that were eliminated in the first round. This can be considered not to be a waste. At the same time, it can also inspire the fighting spirit of the participating students.

Advanced soul master academies such as Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and Xing Luo National Academy have just moved in.

When the people from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy came on the field, Qiangu Tianzong and others from the Sun and Moon Team turned their eyes to Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi felt a little uncomfortable with their looks, "Ahem, you guys decide how to go on stage!"

Then he left quickly. To be honest, the rest of the people were fine, but he couldn't afford to offend Qiangu Tianzong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen.

"I'll listen to you about the arrangements, Tianzong!" At this moment, Ma Rulong handed over the command to Qiangu Tianzong. This also showed his complete belief in Qiangu Tianzong, his recognition of his ability, and his wise strategic vision.

Qiangu Tianzong did not say anything to evade the request, and the others had no objections either. It seemed that in their eyes, this was a matter of course.

Qiangu Tianzong looked around at everyone, smiled, and then said in a domineering voice, "Brother Ma, since we are going to win the game by crushing Shrek with our absolute strength! Then we don't have to hide anything!"

"Go on stage if you're ready! Let these people see the might of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Since Shrek won't ignite the atmosphere, then we'll do it!"

"Okay, the players from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have already appeared. Let us invite the representative team from the famous Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to appear. Although this academy always loses to Shrek Academy, their strength is unquestionable."

I always feel that the host said this on purpose.

The Sun and Moon team was led by Qiangu Tianzong, with Ma Rulong almost standing next to him, followed by Mika, Xiao Xiafeng, Chen Fei, Lin Xi, and Li Yan. The seven of them wore the uniforms of the Sun and Moon team and wore a handsome cowboy hat on their heads, which made them look very cool.

"Here they are, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team. What kind of wonderful performance will they bring us? Let us wait and see!"

The atmosphere at the scene was really a bit bad. It might be because the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire were fighting, and there was a sense of hatred between the people of each other!
The referee said solemnly: "The first round is a seven-on-seven team battle elimination match. Both sides can use most soul guides to compete. But during the battle, if one side admits defeat, the other side cannot continue to attack. Soul guides cannot use high-lethality equipment such as fixed-type soul guides to fight. Do you understand?"

"Ok!"

"Understood!" The captains of the Qiangu Tianzong and Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy teams responded.

The referee nodded, looked at the players of the two teams, and then said, "Okay, both sides please retreat to the edges of the arena and listen to my orders to start the game. Before I announce the start, no one may release their martial spirit in advance, otherwise they will be judged as the loser."

"No need for fancy moves, just activate your martial spirit and take them all down in one go. No soul guides are needed this time!!"

"If you want to conquer these people, you must first use the most primitive means to defeat them forcefully."

"Yes!"

The referee standing in the center of the field slowly raised his right hand. At this moment, Xingluo Square, which was filled with hundreds of thousands of people, suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the wide competition stage with wide eyes.

As soon as the referee raised his hand, the players from both teams immediately began to take their positions. At the same time, the 108 Xingluo Empire soul masters who had been prepared in the audience all pressed down on the metal pillar soul guides in front of them. The metal pillars shone brightly at the same time, and suddenly, white light shot up into the sky, drawing arcs and converging in the air. Finally, they gathered in the air 20 meters above the top of the competition stage, and finally formed a protective shield.

This also means that the first match of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition is about to begin.

The two teams had already taken their positions. The Tianling High-level Spirit Master Academy team did have a formation, but the Sun and Moon team was just average. They just lined up seven people horizontally, without any fancy moves.

"Game start."

Following the referee's loud shout, students from both sides released their martial spirits almost at the same time.

The seven people here at Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy really cannot be considered weak. The halo, dominated by yellow and purple, exudes dazzling light. Among the seven, five are at the fourth ring level and only two are at the third ring level. The four soul rings of the young man in the lead looked dazzling, and it was obvious that his cultivation had reached the realm of the late soul sect. Reaching this level at the age of twenty is quite impressive.

On the other hand, the number and quality of the spirit rings of the Sun and Moon team were in stark contrast to the Tianling Advanced Spirit Master Academy team. The standard two yellow, two purple, one black or two black.

There is also an even more outstanding Qiangu Tianzong, with one yellow, two purple and two black, and the Panlong stick in his hand shines brightly.

"The fourth ring of ten thousand years!!!"

"The soul rings of the contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are actually yellow, purple, and black!!!"

"."

The 10,000-year fourth soul ring made the audience wipe their eyes unconsciously, because they had seen such things in books.

The host was also briefly surprised.

Shrek's side.

Bei Bei looked at the Qiangu Tianzong martial spirit on the field and frowned. Then he looked at Teacher Wang Yan, but when he looked at Wang Yan, Wang Yan had an expression of disbelief.

"It's actually the Panlong Stick!!"

"It's actually the Panlong Stick Martial Spirit!" Before Beibei could ask, Wang Yan said it himself, his tone was still very excited.

"Fifth soul skill! The sky is shaking and the dragon is lying down!" The fifth soul ring of Qiangu Tianzong lights up.

"Roar!" A dragon roar sounded.

Then the sky suddenly changed color, the Panlong stick in Qiangu Tianzong's hand disappeared, and then a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The gold color fell towards the enemy's location at lightning speed.

The key is that there is a layer of protective shield outside, and the golden light penetrated the protective shield almost instantly.

"Bang!" A huge noise was heard.

When the protective shield was penetrated, everyone could see clearly that the falling object turned out to be an enlarged version of the martial arts stick of the ten thousand year old four-ring soul master.

"Not good!" The soul master in charge of security in the competition couldn't help but think when he saw this scene. Then he quickly took action and opened the shield to block the seven participating students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

“This attack actually reached the level of a Soul Saint, and it’s even possible that it has reached the power of a high-level Soul Saint!!” Someone couldn’t help but frowned upon seeing this scene.

Our own people know our own business. The protective shield formed by the 108 soul guide pillars can resist the power of the Soul Saint.

They thought that no matter how powerful the students inside the protective shield were, they were only Soul Saints, so the power of the protective shield was enough.

"Bang!" There was another noise, and smoke and dust instantly rose up in the fighting arena. The strong wind and waves almost blew away the hats of the Sun and Moon team members.

"This……"

"I……"

"……"No matter what the audience thought, the members of the Sun and Moon Team were stunned. They knew that Qiangu Tianzong was strong, but they did not expect him to be so powerful.

"Referee, can you announce it now?" After just a short while, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the completely unconscious member of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and the soul master who had deployed to defend himself.

"The game is over, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has won!!" The host belatedly announced the victory of Qiangu Tianzong and others.

Qiangu Tianzong struck directly and defeated the opponent with overwhelming force.

The fifth soul skill is an instantaneous soul skill. The power of the soul skill is directly proportional to the soul power consumed.

There is a reason why Qiangu Tianzong's fifth soul skill can achieve such an effect. First of all, the ten thousand year old dark gold terror claw bear soul ring brings the sharp aura of the dark gold terror claw bear to the Panlong Stick.

Secondly, Qiangu Tianzong used the maximum power version of his fifth soul skill. Naturally, his power exceeded that of a Soul Saint, but his soul power was also severely consumed. Qiangu Tianzong directly lost one third of his soul power.

Moreover, the soul skill attack has a built-in shock effect. Those advanced soul masters from Tianling Academy fainted because of this effect of the fifth soul skill.

The victory of the Sun and Moon Team was so intense that the audience was still not able to react.

The Sky-lifting Dragon Stick on the fighting arena has not yet dissipated, and the golden dragon pattern on it is faintly visible.

But what followed was a thunderous cheer.

"This year's Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is too strong!"

"Yes! One Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings. This configuration is almost the same even for Shrek!"

"The key is that there is actually a soul master who has two ten thousand year soul rings when he was a soul king."

"Hahaha, I feel like this competition is going to be very exciting."

“I’m really looking forward to the exciting battle that will happen when Shrek Academy, which has been ranked first for consecutive years, collides with Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which has been ranked second for ten thousand years!”

"Just wait! It will probably be in the finals!"

“…”After the first round of eliminations, the audience showed great interest in the Sun and Moon Team.

"This time... we're in trouble!!!" After watching the first round of competition, Wang Yan no longer had the excitement he just had. Instead, his brows were furrowed and he looked worried.

"Teacher Wang!!" In the rest area, Beibei couldn't help but show a little concern for Wang Yan.

Wang Yan waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"I didn't expect that this year's Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy would be so powerful." Wang Yan said as he watched Qiangu Tianzong and the others' fate.

“Teacher Wang, why are you panicking? Wait until I recover. That brat won’t be a match for me. So what if his fifth soul skill is strong? I’m a level 66 soul emperor.” As expected of Shrek’s active volcanoes, he always has a bad temper.

(End of this chapter)
