The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 161 The Champion Without Rivals

As the host team, the Heavenly Dou Royal Team was the first to enter, watching the backs of Li Xun and the others.

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang beside him and asked, "Teacher, what should we do next?"

"There are many participating teams. If you are drawn against an average opponent, I hope you will conserve your strength to avoid the Tian Dou team figuring out your true strength."

Yu Xiaogang looked grim; clearly, seeing the Tiandou team here was beyond his expectations.

Tang San watched as the participating teams were invited into the arena one by one, and nodded seriously: "Understood, teacher."

"Damn it, even the tournament organizing committee is looking down on us. I'll crush your Tiandou team in a minute, then let's see what you'll be all bluffing about!"

Ma Hongjun watched as the staff deliberately ignored them, leading one team after another into the arena, but leaving them behind. He couldn't help but spit and curse.

Even Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng looked like they were about to explode.

They were already seething with anger over the team uniforms, and then Canghui Academy came to cause trouble. But even so, they didn't lose their temper.

Until Li Xun appeared.

Recalling the humiliation and trauma they had suffered at the hands of the other party, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng wished they could rush up to them right now.

"You can enter now." Just as the group was lost in thought, a staff member walked over, first looking at them with disdain, and then said indifferently.

The staff member probably felt their eyes were hurt, because after informing Shrek of this information, they turned around and left.

The interior of the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena is extremely spacious, with the arena itself having a diameter of over 150 square meters.

At this moment, teams of contestants were already lined up in the center of the venue, and the emcee was preparing his speech in an orderly manner.

Of course, because members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team were participating in the competition, the emcee, as a member of the Empire, did not rush to introduce them, but waited until everyone had arrived before starting his passionate commentary.

"First of all, the first team to participate. Although most of the audience here are quite familiar with them, I still want to introduce them in detail. They are the pride of our Heaven Dou Empire, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team Team 1."

The emcee's voice almost cracked as he shouted the last sentence. After hearing the audience's shouts, he coughed lightly and said, "Everyone must be very curious as to why Team Tiandou, who is clearly a guaranteed seed, is here."

"Here I tell you all, they want to prove to the outside world with their strength that our Heaven Dou Empire will sweep all the way to win the championship even without the guaranteed admission quota."

"Go, Tian Dou Team!"

"They made it all the way to the finals."

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Li Xun quickly led his team members around and waved to the audience.

He had made a series of preparations for this day. The Spirit Hall's reputation among the common people was so high that even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the three upper sects, it could only be known in the world of spirit masters.

Li Xun had considered that if he wanted to truly replace the Spirit Hall, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and he himself needed to continuously leave a mark on the hearts of the people from now on, rather than simply replacing the Spirit Hall's high-ranking officials.

After all, the power of the people is the greatest; it will continuously supply the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with seeds that can grow into fruit.

In every subsequent operation, Li Xun not only had to win, but also had to win spectacularly. Until one day, the leader of the Spirit Hall was suddenly replaced. The people applauded and cheered, and firecrackers went off in the streets.

"The last team I'd like to introduce is the Shrek Academy team. This academy was originally called Blue Tyrant Senior Academy, but it was renamed a year ago. Look how unique and individualistic their outfits are; they're completely unafraid of what others think."

Upon hearing the emcee's words, the audience in the stands burst into laughter, and many loud jeers rang out.

"However, what's even more eye-catching than their outfits is their slogan: 'The champion with no rivals!' I have to say, it's a truly fantastic slogan. I won't comment on it, as it's difficult to judge. I wish them success."

The emcee smiled and looked around the entire stands, speaking with a very serious expression.

As soon as the emcee finished his introduction, the audience in the stands booed loudly, and some hot-tempered people even cursed on the spot: "These kids who were fished out of a latrine, they think they can win the championship? It's hilarious."

"Stop talking, I just finished eating, and seeing their clothes makes me want to vomit. Ugh," a spectator near the front said, covering his mouth and dry heaving.

Seeing such a strong reaction from some people, the laughter grew even louder: "A champion without a rival? When you get eliminated later, you can go back and crown yourselves champions, haha."

"There's no elimination round in the qualifiers, is it? Isn't it a points-based system?"

"Twenty-eight teams only made it to the top five. Look at how unsophisticated they are. Do they look like they could make it to the top five?" one audience member said dismissively.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore!" Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and was about to step forward when Tang San grabbed him from behind.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Mu Bai, let's be patient a little longer. If you act impulsively now, we might be punished, which would be bad for both of us." Tang San finished speaking and looked towards the VIP seats: "Besides, don't you want revenge anymore?"

Many people were already seated in the VIP section, with the most conspicuous being the young man sitting in the center.

This person wore a long gold and red robe, a blue diamond nine-tassel crown, and a naturally friendly smile on his face. His features even bore a resemblance to Prince Xuexing, whom Tang San had met.

Even now, with Emperor Xueye paralyzed in bed and Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng nowhere to be found, Tang San doesn't even need to guess to know that the young man in the middle must be the Crown Prince of Tiandou.

To the right of the Crown Prince was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School crown, a symbol of his status as a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. He was likely Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

Tang San had seen the person to the left of the Crown Prince twice recently; he was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo, the Spirit Hall elder who had rescued his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

Remembering that this Chrysanthemum Douluo had once come to buy his hidden weapon blueprints, Tang San's eyes flickered before he looked away.

Currently, everyone on the field except for Chrysanthemum Douluo is on the side of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Our side absolutely cannot have any conflict with them. Even if we want to take action, we should wait until the match.

"Now, please welcome His Highness the Crown Prince of our Heavenly Dou Empire to unveil the competition." After introducing the teams in the arena, the master of ceremonies waved his sleeves and respectfully bowed to Xue Qinghe.

As soon as the emcee finished speaking, a dense burst of applause erupted in the room.

Xue Qinghe slowly stood up from his high position, raised his right hand and slowly pressed it down, and the applause in the arena immediately subsided.

After a complete silence, Xue Qinghe's clear, cold voice resounded throughout the arena through the amplified soul tool: "I, Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire and the organizers of this competition, hereby announce that the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is now officially open."
