Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 47 Opening, Shrek, the First Academy on the Continent

The next day, Xingluo Square.

"I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially begun!"

A loud, steady, and magnetic male voice spread throughout the Xingluo Square. With the loud announcement of the Xingluo Emperor, the curtain of this competition was officially opened.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

The emotions of the people in Xingluo City were almost instantly aroused. The robes of hundreds of thousands of spectators fluttered like a sea, and the shouts rose one after another, one wave covering the other.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

The cannon salutes roared, lasting 108 times, and the flags fluttered like golden scales swimming in the deep sea. The tiger-like roar of the horn split the boiling shouts of the crowd and resounded through the sky.

Amidst the excitement, Xu Tiance seemed out of place, yawning as he arrived at the contestant area of ​​the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Meng Hongchen saw him at a glance, and leaped to his side as nimbly as a butterfly.

"Your Highness, didn't you say you couldn't come?"

Xu Tiance stretched himself and threw himself into the soft and comfortable sofa, saying lazily, "Today's first opening match is against Shrek Academy. I still need to watch Shrek's game to get a better idea of ​​what to expect."

"It turns out that His Highness isn't completely confident and still harbors fears about Shrek Academy."

"After all, Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, so it's no exaggeration to say that it deserves our attention. Has the competition started yet? I shouldn't be too late."

"No, the opening ceremony just ended, and the elimination round is about to officially begin."

"Looks like I've arrived at the perfect time. In the first match, which academy will Shrek face?"

"It's from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy in the Douling Empire."

Xu Tiance yawned again and nodded casually, "Got it."

"Your Highness, are you really that sleepy? Did you steal last night?"

Of course, he was not going to steal. Last night's trip to the black market went exceptionally smoothly. Based on the intelligence information provided by Hawke, Xu Tiance stayed up all night again to personally perfect the follow-up actions in Xingluo City.

In the past, in order to use the morning light to practice Shengyang Gong, Xu Tiance rarely stayed up late and went to bed and got up early almost every day. Now that he no longer had to do that, the sudden disruption of his routine made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I'll just take a moment."

As he was speaking, the host of the competition had already stood on the fighting stage.

"A total of 133 advanced soul master academies and soul instructor academies have registered for this competition."

"After the draw, one academy will receive a bye in the first round. The first round will be an elimination tournament, with a total of sixty-six matches. The loser will be eliminated directly, ending their journey in this tournament."

"Next, the first match of the elimination round will begin soon."

"The two teams competing are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Douling Empire, and the Shrek Academy team, the continent's top academy, a force to be reckoned with, having almost consistently defended the championship title for the past millennium."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience in Xingluo Square became excited and the atmosphere quickly reached its peak.

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek..."

The huge Xingluo Square was filled with thunderous shouts that echoed for a long time.

The high spirits at the scene invisibly infected everyone. Xu Tiance held his forehead with his hand and smiled helplessly, "Is this the charm of the three words 'Shrek'? You really don't know until you see it, it's shocking."

Xiao Hongchen, standing beside him, unconsciously clenched his fists. To him, the reward His Highness promised was unimportant. What he wanted was the honor, the honor of having his Shrek rivals prostrate themselves at his feet. He wanted this grand spectacle to be his personal home turf.

Faced with such a scene, everyone on the Sun and Moon Royal Academy team felt uneasy and had their own thoughts.

Not only them, but all students from all academies, including Shrek Academy's own students, found it difficult to adapt to such a huge encouragement for a while.

The cheers continued until the players from both teams stepped onto the fighting stage.

Everyone was stunned when they saw that the seven people sent by Shrek Academy had such young faces.

The students from Shrek Academy who are competing this time have an average age of less than fifteen years old, and some even look only eleven or twelve years old. Are these the reserve team of Shrek Academy?

With this lineup, can they win against an academy where the average age is close to 20? This is a knockout round, and there's no chance of losing in a knockout round!

Aren’t they afraid of capsizing in the gutter?
This question arose in everyone's mind at the same time, including those from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Of course, Xu Tiance is an exception.

At this moment, his attention was completely focused on a young boy. He was wearing the dark green uniform of Shrek Academy, and his eyes were so clear that they seemed to reflect the universe.

"Finally see you!"

What Xu Tiance didn’t say was, Huo Yuhao, I’m honored to have an opponent like you!
A million-year soul ring, three-life martial soul, ultimate ice, and in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, there are also Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor and Alex living there. Together with Huo Yuhao himself, they can enough to play mahjong at a table.

Moreover, he also has a goddess wife whose spirit is 100% compatible with his and who is always by his side.

The two people possess several unprecedented and unparalleled martial soul fusion skills. How can they be defeated without being beaten?
Ever since Xu Tiance decided to participate in the competition, he regarded Huo Yuhao as his opponent, an opponent of equal strength and power. Although he was only a second-ring soul master, Xu Tiance did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest!

"Your Highness, who did you finally meet?"

Xu Tiance withdrew his gaze and looked at Meng Hongchen who was looking at him with concern, and held her cold little hand in his palm.

"Nothing. I mean, I finally met the people from Shrek Academy. They really look very different. Everyone has an innate sense of pride and superiority."

Meng Hongchen snorted softly, "What's so great about that? We're great too!"

"Yes, Meng'er is great, she's no worse than the younger generation of Shrek warriors."

In the center of the fighting arena, players from both teams gathered and stood on both sides of the referee, and the battle was about to begin.

As the referee finished explaining the precautions and limited rules of the game, the two sides slowly distanced themselves and retreated to the two sides of the field.

The seven people from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy adopted a typical traditional standing position, while the Shrek Academy team stood in the opposite direction, and their standing position caused everyone's confusion.

Huo Yuhao stood out alone, standing proudly at the front of the team, with no fear on his young face. The other six people stood in a fan shape, supporting him in the front like the moon surrounded by stars.

This formation was so different from the original one that surprised and confused many academies that had been studying Shrek, including the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Xu Tiance curled his lips and smiled slightly.

"Your debut has caught everyone by surprise. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll start showing off. Right, Huo Yuhao?"
