The deep voice swept through the entire competition field and the audience area with strong pressure. Almost everyone's brains went blank. The audience with lower cultivation level was even more trembling and almost fainted.
The eastern suburbs, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent. Wang Dong also stopped questioning Huo Yuhao.
The leader of one of the participating teams was surprised and asked: "What a strong cultivation level. When did the Sun and Moon Empire have such a strong person?"
Among the crowd, only a few powerful people who knew about it in advance showed extremely solemn expressions.
This is the majesty of Dragon King Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the only remaining extreme Douluo expert in the world.
Huo Yuhao has not been infiltrated into the Holy Spirit Cult for a long time, and he doesn't know much about this powerful man. He still manages to get a lot of information from rumors decades ago.
He was very confused about Long Xiaoyao, because whether it was from previous rumors or from remote contact with the Holy Spirit Cult, he did not feel that Long Xiaoyao was an evil soul master.
This dark holy dragon does have a very pure dark aura, but it does not have the murderous resentment that an evil soul master must have. Even Electrox personally admitted this.
And the resentment on the other Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Sect, the supreme leader who kills people every day, is about to reach the sky.
All conjectures have confirmed that Long Xiaoyao is not an evil soul master. With his strong strength, it is impossible for him to be affected by the secret brainwashing method of the Holy Spirit Sect.
The Holy Spirit Religion is a pure evil soul master organization. The elders, senior ministers and low-ranking officials are all evil soul masters, but this grand minister of the worship hall is not.
So what is his purpose in joining the Holy Spirit Cult?
Huo Yuhao was puzzled.
While he was thinking, a group of people in the distance, escorted by a group of golden-clad guards, slowly came to the rostrum.
He Caitou recovered from his shock in an instant, looked at the group of golden-robed soldiers, and whispered, "That's the Royal Soul Engineer Group."
He was always honest, but now a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Beibei asked: "Royal Soul Engineer Group?"
He Caitou nodded and said: "All the Royal Soul Engineers are level five soul engineers and above, and the leader is a level nine soul engineer. They only accept orders from the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, and can be said to be the elite among the elite."
"The Royal Soul Engineer Group only has a thousand people in total. At least half of the strength is here?"
Xiao Xiao exclaimed: "Caitou, how do you know so much?"
He Caitou said naturally: "I learned about it when I came to Sun Moon College for exchange study."
None of Tang Men and others were suspicious, only Huo Yuhao knew the secret.
He Caitou stared closely at the distinguished person escorted by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group.
It was a small palace-like dragon chariot pulled by thirty-two horn-scaled horse soul beasts. There were also a large number of guards and luxuriously dressed officials and ministers following behind.
He Caitou's heartbeat speeded up unknowingly.
The Royal Soul Engineer Group only obeys the orders of the Sun and Moon Emperor and is surrounded by officials. Could it be that the person sitting in the dragon chariot is his enemy, the Sun and Moon Emperor, whom he thinks about day and night?
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Even though He Caitou had been tempered by the extreme individual soldier plan and had an extraordinary temperament, he couldn't help but clench his fists at this moment.
He Caitou put away his silly smile on the outside, but his heart was filled with turmoil, like a powder keg that might explode at any time.
Everyone in the Tang Sect was attracted. No one noticed the strangeness of Caitou. Only Huo Yuhao caught his emotional fluctuations.
He used spirit sharing to signal him to relax: "Brother Caitou, that's not the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, don't be so nervous."
Sure enough, soon the dragon chariot stopped in front of the rostrum, and a handsome young man was pushed out of the curtain on a wheel.
It is none other than the current crown prince and regent of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran. Openly riding in the dragon chariot that symbolized the emperor's status, and being surrounded by the royal soul mentors, Xu Tianran seemed to be the next emperor of the sun and moon appointed by the emperor.
Only then did He Caitou loosen his clenched fists and took a deep breath calmly. After training in the extreme individual soldier plan, he quickly regained his composure.
Huo Yuhao then comforted him: "Brother Caitou, your revenge will be avenged soon. Emperor Sun and Moon is already seriously ill in bed and has only a few years to live."
He Caitou first nodded slightly with a very small amplitude, and then was slightly stunned. He clenched his fists that were originally loosened again, and a cold light burst out in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao naturally saw his little move, but didn't say anything.
He could understand He Caitou's mood, his eagerness to take revenge. But now, although He Caitou was angry, he seemed much calmer. He then turned his attention back to the rostrum.
But Huo Yuhao didn't know that at this moment, He Caitou had already planted a seed called destruction in his heart.
No, it would be too cheap for him to die of illness.
He Caitou said coldly in his heart.
His hatred for the blood feud with the Sun and Moon Emperor has long spread. It was fine in Shrek Academy, but as soon as he entered Mingdu, an inexplicable sense of irritability would fill his heart.
Not only is his enemy the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, he wants to destroy everything in front of him.
Not only the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, but also his princes, subjects, and even this Ming capital that left him with endless painful memories...
The angrier he gets, the calmer He Caitou becomes.
His honest appearance is just a disguise, and his heart is already cold-blooded and ruthless. If there was a button that would make everything in front of him disappear, he would press it without hesitation.
But he is not strong enough now, what should he do?
The training contents of the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan flashed quickly in He Caitou's mind.
Suddenly, He Caitou felt as if he was electrocuted. He figured something out, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao didn't know that at this moment, He Caitou and he were on the same path.
Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair, and the person pushing him was none other than Orange.
There is another person beside Orange, the leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen.
He still hasn't publicly stated his side and maintains a high level of independence, but Xu Tianran's succession is already a certainty, and he doesn't mind establishing a good relationship with Xu Tianran in advance.
"Meet the Regent, Princess Regent."
All the ministers knelt down and saluted Prince Xu Tianran and Orange.
"Princess Regent?"
Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes and looked at his former classmate from a distance, sighing in his heart.
It was said that she entered the palace to assist the prince, but how could she become a princess after assisting him?
But he wasn't too surprised.
To achieve her revenge plan, she needs the highest power, and relying on Xu Tianran seems to be the best way to help her complete her revenge plan.
Orange pushed Xu Tianran to the rostrum on the elevator and came to the center. This Soul Master Competition will be officially announced soon.
It was Tangerine who spoke, and her beautiful voice was heard far away through the amplifying soul guide. Hundreds of thousands of people present could clearly hear her speech.
"Every citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire, as well as guests from afar, I am here to welcome you on behalf of His Highness the Regent."
"At the same time, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I announce: The Continental Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition will begin now."
Huo Yuhao really appreciated the very brief opening remarks without any redundant mandarin nonsense.
A mediocre and meaningless opening speech, some people can just make it long and smelly, making people sleepy, and it has no meaning except a waste of time.
"The regent is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
The people of the Sun and Moon Empire collectively knelt down and saluted the wheelchair-bound Crown Prince who was about to ascend the throne.
The participating teams from the three mainland countries did not need to kneel down. Most of them looked at Xu Tianran with a disdainful look, and some even cursed openly. The surrounding staff did not dare to meddle in other people's business.
In the opinion of most of them, what qualifications does a disabled person in a wheelchair have to succeed to the throne?
Among the crowd, only a few people such as Wei Na and Xu Jiujiu were extremely vigilant. They knew that Xu Tianran was a very capable and ruthless tycoon. After he succeeded to the throne, the three continental congresses would face unprecedented pressure.
However, after this competition, he probably won't be an emperor anymore.
Huo Yuhao smiled, but he had already sentenced Xu Tianran to death in his heart.
He will not assassinate Xu Tianran, but will let him experience a real social death.
Such a blow may be a little too cruel to this arrogant hero.
Huo Yuhao asked himself, does Xu Tianran have any grudge against him?
There seems to be no direct animosity.
He could find countless reasons if he wanted to, because Xu Tianran colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, helped He Caitou get revenge, and... blocked his way.
Xu Tianran, who was on the rostrum, had no idea that a conspiracy was brewing against him.
He was still smiling: "My dear friends, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
All the ministers took their seats in turn.
Jing Hongchen sat on Xu Tianran's right side, while Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, also appeared on Xu Tianran's left side at some unknown time. He was dressed in a black robe, his face was filled with mist, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
A loud voice sounded.
"The rules of the competition will be announced below, individual elimination rounds... team battles..."
"The first match of the knockout round in the preliminaries is between Shrek Academy and Yanhuo Academy."
The draws have already been drawn, and the first game is about to begin. According to the rules, the first game should include the previous championship team.
As the champion of the last competition, Shrek will naturally be the first to appear.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
Waves of cheers suddenly sounded all around.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The vast majority of the surrounding audience were civilians from the Sun and Moon Empire. Logically speaking, Sun and Moon should maintain a hostile relationship with Shrek Academy.
But in fact, Shrek Academy is also very popular in the Sun and Moon Empire and has many supporters. Even many senior Sun and Moon officials are also supporters of Shrek Academy.
In the pergola, several familiar figures stood up and walked majestically towards the waiting area.
Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian...
Huo Yuhao is more concerned about two acquaintances, Dai Huabin and Ning Tian.
"Huh? When did Hua Bin break through to the Soul Emperor?" He muttered in his heart.
Among the seven people sent by Shrek Academy, he thought these two were the strongest.
Dai Huabin, who has the martial soul fusion skill Nether Civet with Zhu Lu, and Ning Tian, who has a special soul tool.
He hadn't seen Dai Huabin for a long time, and he didn't know what her current strength was, but he had only been separated from Ning Tian for a while, so he had a clear understanding of her strength.
With the soul guide and his own unique amplified soul skills, Ning Tian, who is a Soul King, may be able to compete with the powerful Soul Emperors in the mid-to-late stage in terms of real combat power.
"The referee enters the arena, and the first contestant from both sides' individual elimination rounds enters the arena."
The old man in charge of presiding over the podium said loudly.
Shrek Academy's opponent, Yanhuo Academy, is also ranked at the bottom among senior colleges. At this moment, it was the first to take the field. It faced Shrek, the previous champion. All the participating players were wailing.
Their leading teacher also looked livid, and after a long time he waved his hand to them dejectedly: "Go ahead, go ahead, just do your best, don't blame us for admitting defeat."
The first person Shrek Academy sent was Wu Feng. As the name suggests, Yanhuo Academy mainly recruits fire-attribute students and sent their captain.
Their captain is a Soul King and is already the strongest person in their team, but his level is still several levels lower than Wu Feng.
But even now, there was no talk of abstaining. The captain gritted his teeth and walked straight onto the stage.
This is destined to be a battle without any suspense.
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran looked down at the field and showed emotion.
"Shrek Academy, what a Shrek Academy."
"Master Hongchen Hall, I remember that Shrek Academy seemed to have sent two teams for this competition, right?"
He asked Jing Hongchen on his right.
Jing Hongchen nodded: "Shrek Academy not only sent one of its own teams, but also sent another team in the name of the sect form Tang Sect, and the participating members of that Tang Sect team were the same ones from their last session. A reserve team member for the competition.”
Xu Tianran said: "As expected of the number one academy in mainland China, this is where their heritage lies. Even if the talents are divided into two teams, both teams are capable of competing for the championship. What a Shrek."
Zhong Liwu on the other side said gloomily: "Your Highness, Shrek Academy is the largest force in the mainland after all. It is natural to have such a talent reserve."
"They will definitely become your biggest obstacle in the process of unifying the continent in the future."
Jing Hongchen said with some complacency: "Your Highness, although Shrek Academy has ten thousand years of foundation, Hongchen will definitely clear it up for the sun and the moon."
He was full of confidence.
So what if Shrek is stronger?
However, Xu Tianran shook his head: "Master Hongchen Hall, I understand your intention, but in the process of unifying the continent in the future, I will not take action against Shrek Academy."
Jing Hongchen was stunned and asked: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"
Xu Tianran smiled slightly: "Master Hongchen Hall, do you know? I am also a soul master. In my heart, Shrek Academy is the holy land among soul masters and the supreme palace of soul masters."
"I once had a wish that Shrek would surrender to us when we unified the continent. At that time, I would wear the Shrek Academy uniform and attend classes in the best classroom in the academy."
"I will completely annex Shrek Academy and make it a part of my Sun-Moon Empire forever."
"Master Hongchen Hall, in this competition, do you have the confidence to defeat Shrek Academy and win the championship for Sun and Moon?"
Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and then said: "Old minister, I will definitely live up to my mission."
Zhong Liwu on the side also said: "Haha, Hongchen Hall Master, don't worry, we will help you eliminate your opponents."
Jing Hongchen frowned but didn't say anything.
I really read these remarks by Xu Tianran in the original work over and over again. He was a majestic king of a country and his childhood wish was to study at Shrek.
