The Emperor slowly stood up from his throne and smiled at the countless spectators. The originally noisy arena suddenly quieted down. Everyone was excited and looked at the old man with reverence.
As the supreme existence who had controlled the Heaven Dou Empire for decades, Xue Ye was like a god in the hearts of the citizens. Even the Spirit Hall couldn't compare to his prestige.
His noble and gentle gaze swept across the countless people below. Xue Ye slowly opened his mouth and said,
"I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, represent the Heaven Dou Empire and the organizers of this tournament. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament … begins"
Thunderous applause filled the air. Cheers and screams rose one after another. The enthusiasm of the audience was quickly ignited. The entire arena was boiling with excitement.
After a while, the Emperor smiled and continued, "I hope that the soul masters of the empire can display their true strength in this tournament. You are all the pride of the empire. Work hard for the glory of the empire"
After His Majesty finished his speech, Ning Fengzhi stood up casually. As an important guest who had been invited to the Soul Master Tournament, he also needed to give a speech.
"Good morning everyone. I am the sect leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi. I am very happy to be invited to this year's tournament. I am even more gratified to see so many outstanding young soul masters. Just as His Majesty said, you are all the pride of the empire. I hope that you can obtain outstanding results in the tournament and win glory for yourselves, the academy, and the empire. Thank you, everyone"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was easy-going and elegant.
He smiled warmly at the soul master teams that were silently waiting for the battle below. After that, he calmly returned to his seat.
Below, a wave of applause rang out, drowning the entire arena in an instant.
After Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi finished their speeches, the opening ceremony was a perfect success. Next up was the exciting battle that the audience had been waiting for.
"First round of the preliminaries, Blue Sunshine Academy vs. Purple Star Academy"
"First round of the preliminaries, Oakland Academy vs. Blazing Academy"
"… …"
"First round of the preliminaries, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy vs. Shrek Academy"
When the last match was announced, Shrek Seven immediately became restless.
"Heaven Dou Academy, Heaven Dou's second team?"
Tang San raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to meet the Emperor Team in the first round.
Last time, Shrek Seven had lost to Fang Xuan and the others, and he had been brooding over it.
Many of them were unwilling to admit defeat. They wanted to defeat the Emperor Team led by Fang Xuan in the Soul Master Tournament and wash away the humiliation they had suffered. For this goal, they had been cultivating day and night for the past year.
"Fang Xuan"
Dai Mubai's eyes erupted with a blazing light, and his entire body was filled with a raging battle intent. He was the same as Tang San, having been defeated by Fang Xuan before. He was extremely unwilling and had always been looking forward to a chance to defeat Fang Xuan.
"That, Fang Xuan shouldn't be in Heaven Dou's second team, right?" Ma Hongjun scratched his head. Huang Dou's team should be a seeded team and guaranteed to enter the finals. Therefore, they couldn't meet Fang Xuan and the others in the preliminaries.
If they wanted to defeat Fang Xuan and wash away the humiliation of the past, their Shrek Team had to pass the preliminaries and enter the finals.
"I know"
Dai Mubai said coldly, "Just in time. Today, we will defeat Heaven Dou's second team, and in the future, we will defeat Fang Xuan's Huang Dou's first team and let Shrek dominate the Soul Master Tournament"
"Good, Shrek will win"
Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Suddenly, Tang San thought of something and curiously asked Ning Rongrong, "Oh right, Rongrong, you're very close to Fang Xuan. Do you know what realm he's at now?"
"Tch, I don't know anything about that big scoundrel!"
Ning Rongrong pouted her rosy lips and huffed, "He leaves early and returns late every day. He's always so secretive and secretive. I'm guessing he's up to something again. I curse him that he'll be arrested and thrown in jail sooner or later …"
"Haha"
Everyone laughed dryly. Ning Rongrong was probably the first person in history to curse her fiancé like this.
After an hour of preparation time, the first round of the preliminaries, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy versus Shrek Academy officially began.
When the referee announced the start of the match, the soul masters from both teams stepped onto the stage.
On the stage, the seven members of Shrek's team and seven members of Huang Dou's team stood in a row facing each other, greeting each other politely.
"Big brother, we're ready. Let's fight"
There was a golden-haired young man next to the captain of the second team. He wore a luxurious brocade robe, and his face could be considered handsome. His force rippled through his body, and a strong gust of wind could be faintly felt. He seemed to be quite powerful.
"Idiot! Who are you calling big brother?"
But who would've thought that the captain of Heaven Dou's team would be so angry when he heard the golden-haired youth call him Big Brother? He aimed a slap at the back of the youth's head, causing the youth to tear up from the pain.
When the other team members saw their comical actions, the corners of their mouths twitched. They felt that their team's future was bleak …
These two brothers were the ones who had been robbed and beaten by Fang Xuan, Long Aotian, and Ye Liangchen.
After two years of hard work, their force had grown by leaps and bounds.
As the older brother, Ye Liangchen was already at rank 39 and was just a step away from becoming a Soul Ancestor. Long Aotian, who was only a few years younger than Ye Liangchen, wasn't to be outdone either.
With a rank of 38 Soulforce, he was already ahead of most of the geniuses in Heaven Dou Academy.
It was because of this strength that the two brothers were able to become the captain and vice-captain of Heaven Dou's team. They would be leading Huang Dou's team in the Soul Emperor Tournament.
Liangchen crossed his arms and warned Long Aotian sternly, "How can I be the big brother when Brother Fang Xuan is on top? Call me the second brother from now on, got it?"
"Got it, big brother." Long Aotian replied.
"Pow ~"
"Ouch ~"
After being slapped again, Long Aotian rubbed the bump on his head and said with a sad face, "I know … Second brother, I've been calling you big brother for a long time, and I can't change it"
"Aotian, the Shrek Team is a team that Big Brother Fang Xuan was defeated before. We can't embarrass him. We'll … Take care of them in one round" Ye Liangchen pointed at Tang San's team with a proud smile.
"Got it"
Long Aotian's eyes lit up. He stared at Tang San's team and clenched his fists. He was ready to take down the Shrek Team in one fell swoop.
Behind the two of them stood a familiar face. She had curly red hair, a beautiful face, and a voluptuous figure. It was Dai 'er.
"Hmph"
Dai 'er rolled her eyes at the two captains. She placed her hands on her hips and snorted. She wasn't happy with how much the two of them worshipped Fang Xuan.
During this period, Dai 'er had been cultivating with all her might. She was now Rank 38. She wasn't inferior to any man.
Ye Liangchen, Long Aotian, and Dai 'er were the most outstanding geniuses in the Heaven Dou Academy other than Heaven Dou's team. They were very strong and talented. They could be considered the cream of the crop among the younger generation.
The three of them were the main members of Huang Dou's team. They were the soul of the entire team. Their victory or defeat would directly affect the final result of the team battle.
Other than that, the three of them had something in common.
They had all been beaten up by Fang Xuan.
