Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 314 The competition begins

Soon, the day when the competition officially started arrived.

The drawing ceremony was held the day before the competition began, and the person who represented the Tang Sect to draw the lots was Xu Sanshi.

Among the 167 participating teams, the luckiest one will get a bye, but Xu Sanshi's luck is obviously not that good.

Therefore, as the true defending champions of the last tournament, they are about to appear in the first round.

The bye spot in the first round was given to the Shrek Academy team after official decision from the Sun-Moon Empire.

Therefore, the team led by Huo Yutong will directly enter the next round and will obtain the full score of twelve points.

No one raised any objection to this preferential treatment. After all, Shrek Academy had achieved too much glory in this competition, and it was what they deserved.

In a sense, this is even a protection for other teams. At least they won't run into Shrek Academy in the first round.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared in the east, the streets of Mingdu presented a strange sight.

The soldiers, fully covered in silver armor, lined up in two rows, starting from the main entrance of Mingyue Hotel and extending outwards. At a glance, there was no end in sight.

Compared with the previous competition hosted by the Xing Luo Empire, Mingdu, as the first city on the continent, can obviously accommodate a larger number of people. It is natural for the Sun and Moon Empire to mobilize the army to maintain order.

Under the strict formation of the soldiers, the participating teams, with nearly people, spread out and left Mingdu.

The competition venue is on the outskirts on the east side of Mingdu. You can see it from a distance after leaving the buildings of Mingdu.

The competition stage is ten meters high and over a hundred meters in diameter, estimated to be about one hundred and twenty meters.

The players' rest area is on the east side of the competition stage and is mainly divided into two areas.

Near the competition stage is a canopy that can accommodate about twenty participating teams. The rest are just some open-air chairs arranged in rows at the back of both sides of the canopy.

Judging from the reception by the Sun-Moon Empire this time, all the details highlight the class differences. Those pergola rest areas are undoubtedly reserved for famous academies and clans.

After reporting the name of the Tang Clan at the registration desk and showing their entry documents, the Tang Clan members were undoubtedly led to the bench area, which was in a very remote corner.

For this kind of treatment, even the Tang Sect members who didn't care much about it looked unhappy. Nan Qiuqiu complained angrily:

"Why is the Sun-Moon Empire like this? This is too much of a bully!"

In response, Tang Wulin just smiled softly.

"It doesn't matter. We just need to use our strength to make them realize they are wrong."

Nan Qiuqiu glanced at him and didn't say anything.

In the past month or so, Tang Wulin has also demonstrated his current strength in training.

The feeling he gave Nan Qiuqiu could only be described as unfathomable, and she simply could not imagine him losing.

Hearing what he said, her emotions immediately stabilized.

Everyone sat down in their assigned areas and waited for the game to begin.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the competition venue under the escort of the Royal Soul Instructor Corps, and a young girl came out pushing a wheelchair.

Seeing these two people, Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed.

If he guessed correctly, the disabled person sitting in the wheelchair was the current Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Then who is this girl? The girl cleared her throat, took out her soul amplifier, and said:

"Dear citizens of the Sun Moon Empire and guests from afar, here, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I welcome you all. At the same time, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I announce that the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition will now begin."

It was a very simple opening statement, without any unnecessary nonsense or high-sounding official rhetoric.

This is Xu Tianran's style. Everything is based on strength. In his opinion, talking nonsense is just a waste of time.

"The regent is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The people of the Sun-Moon Empire knelt on the ground collectively, paying homage to the regent who, although sitting in a wheelchair, would soon ascend the throne and become the new generation of emperor.

After that, the rules of the competition were announced as usual. After that, an old man walked to the loudspeaker in front of the podium and said loudly:
"The first match of the preliminary round knockout round - Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy vs. Dragon Slayer Sect. Both sides will select seven players and enter the waiting area."

Tang Wulin blinked, then smiled knowingly.

No wonder Shrek Academy was given a bye in the first round, it turned out this was the plan.

According to the rules of previous competitions, the first game should have the previous championship team. However, in this competition, Shrek Academy had a bye in the first round, so naturally the second place team of the previous competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, would take on the challenge. This was undoubtedly a little trick played by the Sun Moon Empire.

The process and outcome of this match were pretty much what Tang Wulin had expected.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy sent out their vice-captain Meng Hongchen. She directly completed the feat of one against six in the initial individual competition and easily brought victory to her team.

There was a huge cheer from the entire audience. After all, this was the home court of the Sun and Moon Empire. They were naturally very happy to see Meng Hongchen win so beautifully.

As the games passed one after another, it was afternoon and the referee's voice came from the stage.

"In the next match, the Tang Sect will face the Heavy Armor Sect. Both sides will enter the waiting area and the first contestant will appear."

Hearing these words, everyone in the Tang Sect was shocked and walked towards the preparation area together.

Xu Sanshi yawned and asked:
"Wulin, do you really have to be the first to appear?"

After the draw was announced last night, Tang Wulin said that he wanted to be the first to go on stage.

In Xu Sanshi's opinion, as the strongest member of the Tang Sect team, Tang Wulin should retain his strength.

Tang Wulin smiled and nodded.

"Well, Third Brother, don't worry. My abilities are not so easy to be figured out. Rather, I came on stage this time just to show off my abilities to certain people."

Xu Sanshi was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Tang Wulin chuckled and asked a riddle.

"You will know when you see my performance on the competition stage later."

After saying that, he walked onto the competition stage.

Seeing Tang Wulin come on stage, the atmosphere in the audience seats suddenly became lively.

The reason is simple, he is so handsome. In terms of appearance, he is definitely the first place in this competition.

Handsome men and beautiful women are always very eye-catching, and the audience subconsciously has a strong liking for them.
