Douluo: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 161 I teach undercover! The competition begins

In the Star Emperor Hotel, all the teams from all the academies and the boxes of all the forces were brightly lit, discussing tomorrow's Soul Master Competition. Only the box of the Holy Spirit Church was completely dark.

They all shielded themselves from evil spirits, disguised themselves as decent soul masters, and sneaked into Xingluo City, wanting to complete the sacred mission of "finding the Son and Daughter of God".

In the darkness, the eyes of the seven holy servants shone with strange lights, like poisonous snakes hiding in a cave. Seven pairs of eyes stared at the Holy Spirit Elder of the headquarters, waiting for him to speak.

"Could it be that those fortune tellers at the headquarters were instigated by some evil spirit?"

The Holy Spirit Elder was in a bad mood and said in a cold voice: "For decades, our Holy Spirit Church has not been able to find a suitable Holy Son or Holy Daughter... Now, you dare to say that a Holy Son or Holy Daughter will appear in this Soul Master Competition. Is this possible!"

A holy servant whispered tentatively: "Elder, it seems that the most evil soul masters in the world are all in our Holy Spirit Church."

"How could you be instigated by some evil person?"

After hearing the words of the holy servant, the Holy Spirit Elder was not angry. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was some truth in it.

Their Holy Spirit Church is mysterious, their methods are strange, they are ruthless and terrifying... The Holy Spirit elders feel that no one in the world is more evil than them.

"Could it be that there is a secret hidden in the envelope from the headquarters that we are unable to see through?"

The Holy Spirit Elder muttered softly, shook the envelope, and out fell a Holy Spirit Church token with a dark evil aura on it.

There is nothing special about this token. In fact, it is a modified soul guide. If they find clues about the Son and Daughter of God, they will report to the headquarters in time through the token.

The Holy Spirit Elder unfolded the envelope and was about to take a closer look to see if there was any hidden secret in the contents, when he suddenly frowned.

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

Another holy servant responded in a low voice respectfully, "Elder, have you forgotten that when we held a meeting in Tiandou City to find the Saintess, you said that the atmosphere of the meeting was not good and that the bright lights affected your thinking. The mission in Tiandou City is likely to fail because there is no cult atmosphere."

“I think that this time the mission to find the Saint Son and Saint Daughter of Xingluo City is more important, and we must learn a lesson.”

"Besides, we evil soul masters all like to plot intrigues in dark places, so I deliberately didn't let anyone turn on the lights to create a dark and pleasant atmosphere."

A certain five-ring evil soul master who was very willing to reveal his name ambushed and set off a corpse explosion in a dark cave, killing three soul kings of Shrek.

This shows that the environment is indeed very important. Not to mention, not turning on the lights does give the impression that the Holy Spirit Church is planning something big.

Besides, when looking at the Star Emperor Hotel from the outside, every row and line of rooms were lit, except for their room which was dark, which was consistent with the evil cult doctrine of their evil soul master who went against the grain.

"Well, you have a pretty good understanding of the cult."

The Holy Spirit Elder nodded, thinking it made sense, and stopped asking his men to turn on the lights. Such an atmosphere was indeed conducive to the development of thinking and the release of mental power to perceive every detail of the envelope.

However, he didn't see any mystery.

Snapped!
The Holy Spirit Elder angrily threw the envelope on the table. It was really unreasonable! There was only one way to find the Son and Daughter of God: watch the game carefully.

"Ridiculous! Could it be that one of my undercover agents suddenly conjured up a saint girl in the arena and sent her to us?"

The Holy Spirit Elder clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "If we can't find the Holy Son or Holy Daughter this time, when we return, we will kill the culprit who spread the rumors and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!"

In this way, the Holy Spirit Church was thinking about how to find the Holy Son and Holy Daughter, Shrek was discussing the secret plan for Xuan Zi to advance to the top four, and Sun and Moon were discussing how to win the championship to wash away the shame of being the runner-up in all previous years. The night passed peacefully.

……

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Xingluo City, the first day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was about to begin, bringing a different mental outlook to Xingluo City.

It is specifically manifested in its unique solemnity.

The soldiers rushed into Xingluo City in neat rows from outside the city wall that was a hundred meters high and a hundred meters thick.

Because of the thickness of the wall, ordinary people have to walk inside the wall for a while if they want to enter or exit the city gate.

Teams of soldiers in distinctive armor entered Xingluo City and stood in an orderly manner on both sides of each road, blocking all the streets.

Especially near the Xinghuang Hotel, there were fully armed soldiers, and the street leading to Xingluo Square was under complete martial law, allowing only people with tickets to watch the competition and participating teams from various academies to pass.

"Master Xuan, is it really okay for us to send the reserve team into the game?"

Wang Yan was worried about the Shrek Academy team. In previous years, they often sent reserve teams to play to demonstrate the teaching ability of the number one academy on the continent.

But my mentality now is very different from before. I no longer have the confidence to move forward and be indestructible.

Wang Yan was even a little worried that he was being cheated by Xing Luo.

Xuan Zi picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't think Xu Jiawei would dare to have such disrespectful thoughts!"

From the perspective of outsiders, Shrek's main team is very strong, so it is normal to send the reserve team to practice.

Xuan Zi told Wang Yan not to worry: "Xu Jiawei will match us with opponents for the first half of the competition. We will definitely make it to the top four."

As the champions of the previous Soul Master Competition, the Shrek team was arranged to sit in the first row of Xingluo Square.

The competition stage for this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was not built in the center of Xingluo Square, but in front of the main gate of the Imperial City.

With this arrangement, Emperor Xingluo and his civil and military officials can watch the battle directly from the top of the imperial city. Not only will they have the best view, but their safety will also be guaranteed.

In the Sun and Moon team, Xiao Hongchen and others were discussing who would go on stage first: "Yuhao, Di Ruiqiu, in the first opening match, will I sweep the field with my soul cannon, or will Yuhao use his fire lotus, or will you kill seven with your golden dragon spear?"

"As for my sister, she won't reveal her One Word Battle Armor before the finals, so she can just mess around."

Meng Hongchen took out a bottle of drink, released some ice fire toad poison into it, and then handed it to Xiao Hongchen: "Brother, drink it. It has a very good calming effect. You will fall asleep immediately after drinking it."

“Uh…” Xiao Hongchen’s face froze. Is it really okay to poison him in front of him?

However, seeing his sister's narrowed eyes revealing a dangerous look, he had no choice but to take the drink, not daring to take a sip.

Meng Hongchen was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Hongchen. He took out ice cream cones from his storage ring and gave them to Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel respectively. He said with a smile:

"Yuhao, before the finals, can I only wear one or two battle armor parts to compete?"

Huo Yuhao licked the ice cream cone a few times and thought seriously: "This can also be done. Wearing a pair of battle armor, outsiders who have no knowledge of battle armor will only mistake it for a close-combat soul guide." Meng Hongchen's strength will increase by two rings by wearing a set of battle armor, so wearing a few battle armor parts can still increase the combat effectiveness by 30% to 40%.

Di Ruiqiu laughed and teased openly: "Ms. Meng, if you only wear a pair of battle armor, then you might as well let me use the golden dragon spear to knock all the opponents away. If you wear one less battle armor, you can't beat me."

Jing Hongchen laughed: "Okay, the Shrek team will play the first opening game. Let's see how they perform first, and then decide how strong we should be."

As the runner-up in all previous Soul Master Competitions, the Sun-Moon Team was naturally placed in the second row, directly behind Shrek Academy.

As for the teams from other colleges, they were all excited as well.

Although they were no match for the Shrek and Sun-Moon teams, the host, the Xing Luo Empire, always had some weaker teams, so they could only beat up the Xing Luo teams, which was still a great sense of accomplishment.

The competition stage used for this Soul Master Competition was not built in the center of Xingluo Square, but in front of the main gate of the Imperial City.

The entire competition stage is one hundred meters long and wide, and five meters high. There are a total of one hundred and eight metal pillars around the competition stage.

This is not a decoration, but a real protective soul guide. After the competition begins, one hundred and eight soul masters will be in charge of protecting the competition stage.

These metal pillars will form a protective shield to prevent any spiritual skills from leaking out, so as to avoid destroying the imperial city or harming innocent people.

On the top of the imperial city, a middle-aged man wearing a red imperial robe inlaid with star beads and gold patterns, and an eight-treasure purple gold crown on his head, stood with his hands behind his back with an imposing manner. It was Xu Jiawei.

The position where Xu Jiawei was standing was right in the center of the main gate of the imperial city, which was also the best place to watch the game below.

"Your Majesty, I, Princess Jiujiu, have made all the arrangements." A minister dressed in bright red civil servant uniform stepped forward quickly and saluted respectfully beside Xu Jiawei.

"Prime Minister, how will the opponents in the opening match match match up?"

"Have the opponents of the first round of the opening match between Shrek and Sun Moon Team been replaced?"

Xu Jiawei looked calm and composed on the surface, and asked with a smile.

But thinking about the poor lineup of the Shrek team in this competition, and the possibility that their Xingluo team might replace Shrek and enter the finals to compete with the Sun and Moon team in a king-to-king competition, he felt a strong excitement in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Xingluo team would have such a competition and become the spiritual pillar of the people of the three countries.

"Brother, according to your plan, all the seeded teams originally assigned to Shrek to show their dominance have been assigned to the Sun and Moon Team."

Xu Jiujiu, wearing a purple dress with star patterns, followed the minister, walked slowly to Xu Jiawei and bowed elegantly.

"Great! This Soul Master Competition may be the highest honor our Xingluo team has ever received in ten thousand years."

Xu Jiawei was quite excited. He took a long breath, looked at his sister and smiled and comforted her:
"Jiujiu, you don't have to be too stressed. If the Shrek team fails halfway through, we just need to defeat the Royal Team of Tianhun and Douling and advance to the finals."

The corners of Xu Jiujiu's lips curled up slightly, and he looked confident of victory.

"Don't worry, brother. Our Xingluo team may have difficulty defeating the best team of Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

Xu Jiujiu has always been calm and quiet, and at this moment he also revealed a confident smile.

"But Jiujiu has great confidence in defeating the Tianhun and Douling Royal Teams and leading the team into the finals."

"Good! It would be nice if I could have this kind of confidence for a long time."

Xu Jiawei laughed heartily a few times, looked toward the audience, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

"In this case, we need the teams from Shrek and the other two countries to give full play to their surplus value and consume the Sun and Moon team's state."

"In this way, Jiujiu can lead the team to the finals at the lowest cost. By then, we will be well rested. With the home advantage of our Xingluo Empire, we may have a certain chance of winning."

"Once we turn the tide and defeat the Sun and Moon Team, the whole country will celebrate!"

If they lose, it just means that people's beautiful fantasy has not been realized, but I believe everyone can understand that the Shrek team did not participate in the finals, and everyone knows that the Xingluo team has never been a match for the Sun and Moon team. The runner-up has already broken the record of previous competitions.

The Shrek team was defeated in this Soul Master Competition. The only team that could take up the banner and compete with the Sun and Moon Team was their Xingluo Royal Team.

As long as Xu Jiujiu can lead the team into the finals, it can be said that he has achieved great success.

The people of the Star Luo Empire will burst into unprecedented enthusiasm the moment the Star Luo team enters the finals.

Just as Xu Jiawei thought, if there was even a slight chance, he could win against the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy by sheer luck.

For the people of the empire, it was the biggest shock in ten thousand years.

Perhaps the national fortunes of the Xing Luo Empire will receive an unparalleled boost because of the victory in this Soul Master Competition.

The Prime Minister whispered beside Xu Jiawei: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. Shrek's opponent in the elimination match will be replaced by a relatively weaker team."

"The college matchups for the opening match have also been arranged, and the outside is in good order. The public can enter now."

Xu Jiawei smiled as warm as spring breeze, nodded slightly, and waved his hand. After receiving the order, the soldiers lifted the ban on the audience seats, and the audience gathered into the venue like long dragons.

At the same time, teams from various colleges were waiting for their battle areas.

The red-haired lady with a proud figure at the front of the Shrek team is naturally Ma Xiaotao.

Ling Luochen was the same as always, with a frosty face. He pushed his wheelchair by himself and followed behind Ma Xiaotao.

As regular team members, both of them have seen big scenes and appeared calm on the surface. However, Ling Luochen felt a little embarrassed because he was in a wheelchair, and he would occasionally tuck a few strands of hair on his white forehead.

"It's the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy!"

Ma Xiaotao turned around and took the initiative to help Ling Luochen push the wheelchair. Her crimson eyeshadow lit up slightly. She signaled Ling Luochen with her eyes and glanced at the Shrek Team's most competitive opponent in history, the Sun and Moon Team.

Ma Rulong touched his short hair and set his sights on the Shrek team. He wanted to see the demeanor of the first academy team on the continent with a thousand-year undefeated myth. A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"What's going on? There shouldn't be any problem with our intelligence."

He suddenly looked at Ma Lao, his pupils widened: "Didn't we agree that the Shrek team would have two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings? Where are the other three Soul Kings?"
