Most of the Yuan practitioners participating in Xia Lin's championship this year are from the Eight Sects and other forces.
Hou Han didn't want to say more.
The original intention of holding the Xia Lin Championship was to showcase the brilliance of Xia Lin Academy students. Nowadays, very few students can compete.
Hou Han was extremely dissatisfied with Xia Lin's victory this time, but at this moment, the house was full of distinguished guests, and his emotions were very restrained. It was difficult to detect without careful observation.
He wished in his heart that in the upcoming duel, the academy students would have a chance to play.
After Xia Lin wins the championship this time, Hou Han is bound to make major adjustments to the rules for Xia Lin's championship next time.
The master of ceremonies is the leader of the college and knows what the deans are thinking.
I wanted to invite the two vice-deans to give speeches, but when I saw the stiff smiles on the faces of Shao Yanqing and Ba Longbai, I skipped them and turned my attention to Xia Guoxuan.
The Xia Lin Academy can achieve such a scale because of the great efforts of the Daxia royal family. If even the royal family is ignored, it would be unjustifiable.
"Now, I would like to invite the representative of Daxia, the current king, to give a speech for Xia Lin's victory." The voice of the master of ceremonies once again spread throughout the duel arena.
Xia Guoxuan and Xia Yuantian looked at each other, the latter nodded, and the former slowly stood up, and there was applause in the audience.
There are more than one million spectators, 90% of whom are the people of Daxia, who definitely want to see the current king.
Xia Guoxuan walked to the front, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved gently: "I am very happy to be invited by Xia Lin College to attend the opening ceremony of this year's Xia Lin championship."
Xia Lin's victory was a time for the royal family to win over people's hearts. Naturally, Xia Guoxuan was not depressed by the deans.
Very few of the Yuan scholars who came out of the Ninth Academy were recruited by the royal family. Whether they were students of the academy or not had little to do with them.
As long as they can invite many forces to Xia Yang City, their goal has been achieved.
Looking around the field, Xia Guoxuan continued: "Although Xia Lin Academy is within Daxia, it does not only belong to us Daxia, it belongs to all Yuan practitioners.
"The path of cultivation for a Yuan Zhe will go through countless trials. I am also a Yuan Zhe and I know the hardships involved.
“The reason why Xia Lin wins the championship is to let these young Yuan practitioners show their brilliance.
“Xia Lin Academy will provide abundant resources and high-quality training places for Yuan Zhe’s cultivation. Everyone is welcome to practice here.
"I wish Xia Lin's winner this year good results. Thank you!"
After hearing Xia Guoxuan's speech, the smiles on the faces of several deans became stiffer. It seemed that he was the dean in this speech.
The emcee smiled awkwardly, sent Xia Guoxuan back to his seat, and directly announced the duel.
"This time Xia Lin won the championship, just like the previous ones, the first round was played three times a day for 12 consecutive days.
"Finally, based on the outcome of the first round, we will confirm whether to proceed to the next round."
Someone in the field immediately asked: "If you win eight games in a row, you can win the first place directly without going to the next round."
Winning eight games in a row and taking the first place has only happened once in the history of Xia Lin winning the championship, and that was the last time Yunjun Academy led by Tang Xinyue.
This was an unavoidable topic, and the host had to stop and respond: "It seems that everyone is very clear about Xia Lin's rules for winning the championship. Yes, winning eight games in a row is the first.
"Xia Lin won the first round and the first day of the showdown was as follows.
"The first game is between Yunjun Academy and Haoyi Academy.
"The second game is between Chenhuayuan and Haoxiyuan.
"The third game is between Shuxingyuan and Mingzeyuan.
"Accidents will inevitably occur during duels. In order to ensure the safety of Yuan practitioners participating in Xiali's victory, we will issue a protective jade plaque to each Yuan practitioner before the start of each duel.
“If you feel your life is in danger, just crush the jade token and you will be sent to your respective rest room.
"Of course, once you leave the duel arena, you will no longer be able to participate in this duel, and your team will be missing one member.
"As a result, the possibility of losing the duel is extremely high. Whether to use the jade card or not, everyone needs to choose carefully.
"If the jade card is not used, we will have someone to take it back after the duel.
"The jade card can only be effective if it cooperates with the restrictions on the duel field. Once you leave the duel field, the teleportation function of the jade card will be disabled immediately.
"Finally, I would like to remind the Yuan practitioners participating in the duel that they are not allowed to take any pills in the duel."
Yun Junyuan was the leader of the previous term, so many spectators paid attention to their actions. Among the eleven Yuan practitioners present, there was not a single disciple of the Eight Sects.
Many viewers couldn't help but sweat for Yunjun Academy, and at the same time, they had doubts in their hearts. Could it be that Yunjun Academy had won the title of leader for two consecutive terms and was about to give up this term?
Obviously, the audience at the scene was not optimistic about Yunjun Yuan. Haoyi Yuan had seven consummation peaks, all of whom were disciples of the Eighth Sect, and the remaining few were also Yuan Dan consummation.
The opening ceremony went too fast, and Li Yuan noticed this.
Judging from the subtle expressions on the faces of the three deans, it is almost impossible for outsiders to participate in Xia Lin's championship in the future.
The master of ceremonies said loudly again: "It seems that everyone can't wait to see the performance of the students from each school. Now, please leave the duel square and rest.
"At the moment of the hour, the first duel, Yunjun Academy vs. Haoyi Academy, officially begins. Please prepare students from both academies."
"That's it!"
Yuan Yao blinked her big, watery eyes and stood up for less than a moment.
She squeezed her little hand and said: "Xiao Yuan, why don't you let me come over in a moment? The two of us cooperate, and dealing with them is just a matter of waving our hands."
The little girl gets excited when she thinks of the battle in the Luoyun Mountains a few years ago. It feels so good.
"There is a chance for you to play! Follow the plan first."
Li Yuan glared at Yuan Yao. The secret of their union cannot be revealed easily. Unless it is a matter of life and death, they must not unite again.
Shi Chen's mouth opened wide, as if he was smiling, but it was not obvious, and he said: "Yuan Yao, Li Yuan and I work together very well. As for the guys from Haoyi Yuan, it's easy to deal with them."
"Humph!" Yuan Yao twisted her head and ignored Shi Chen.
Meng Xingyu, Song Sitong, Lu Jia, Li Yuan and Shi Chen stayed behind and were taken to the waiting room in the south by the escort.
Li Yunqing and six other people were also taken back to the viewing room of Yunjun Courtyard by Fan Hongtao.
It was still early for the duel in other houses, so the students returned to the viewing room.
The waiting room is quite large, measuring ten feet square, and the seats are much larger than ordinary chairs.
Even if the burly Shi Chen sat on it, it was extremely loose.
The decoration of the lounge is not luxurious, and the simple taste all reveals the long history of the college.
"Unexpectedly, this waiting room actually has a teleportation formation engraved on it." When Li Yuan looked around, Ling suddenly said.
Ever since Li Yuan entered the Yuan Dan realm and his Yuan Shen took shape, Ling began to slowly teach him some things about the formation master. Therefore, the former also saw that there were Yuan patterns engraved here, and curiosity flashed in his eyes, but he did not recognize this formation. .
Ling patiently explained to him.
The teleportation array evolved from the teleportation array and was relatively complex. At least a hundred elemental patterns were needed to be engraved before this array could be formed, instead of the three of the ordinary elemental array.
The Yuan Formation in the lounge is engraved with one hundred and two Yuan patterns.
Engraving teleportation patterns on fixed objects can establish a connection with the teleportation array. The teleportation patterns are composed of eight elemental patterns.
The teleport pattern alone has no effect, and it can only work in conjunction with the teleport array.
"Li Yuan, do we need to adjust our arrangements later?"
Meng Xingyu, who was wearing a dark blue outfit, was sitting sideways on a chair, playing with two-foot-long double blades in his hands.
Shaking his head slightly, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "According to the plan last night, you don't have to hide your strength, you have to do your best. We will try to repel them within half a moment.
"Elder Fan and the others arranged the duel last night. We won't have a duel tomorrow. The next one will be the second match the day after tomorrow, against Yu Yiyuan.
"After defeating the Haoyi Academy, you can watch the duels between other academies with peace of mind and explore their strength.
"If the information obtained is accurate, half a moment will be enough to send Haoyiyuan away from the duel."
Hearing this, Shi Chen clenched his huge fists, bumped them against each other, turned his golden eyes, and said firmly: "Send them out of the duel in half a moment."
Li Yuan and the others had not chatted for a few words when a man in gray robe walked in. Judging from the badge on his chest, he should be the Yuan Zhe of the Central Court. He distributed jade tokens to Li Yuan and the others.
Taking the blue jade token, Li Yuan immediately felt the residual aura of soul power inside.
Ling easily touched the structure inside clearly. As expected, there were teleportation patterns engraved on the jade tablet, which were related to the teleportation array in the lounge. If you pinch the jade tablet, you will be teleported here instantly.
However, there are not many teleportation array elements here, and the sensing distance is too short, more than a thousand feet, and crushing the jade token has no effect.
This kind of thing is used in the duel field as a life-saving thing.
But if you don't have time to pinch the Shunyu Card, you will probably be killed by your opponent.
Li Yuan twisted his wrist and put away the jade plaque.
"Everyone, are you ready?" the man in gray robe said respectfully.
After looking left and right, Li Yuan raised his right hand slightly: "That's it!"
Then, the man in gray robe took out the message slip and said a few words.
After a while, the wall on the north side of the waiting room slowly opened, and a bright blue light lit up.
The badge of Yunjun Yuan on the chest shines brightly under the blue light, which is confirmation of identity.
The five people slowly walked out of the waiting room. Outside was the preparation platform to the south of the duel field.
The northern platform six to seven hundred feet away was shrouded in purple light, and the five Yuan practitioners from Haoyi Academy were among them.
Li Yuan looked at the five Yuan practitioners across from him and breathed a sigh of relief.
These Yuanzha have been seen before, and the five Yuanzha who participated in the battle are the same as the information obtained last night.
Nong Kai, the captain of Haoyi Academy, is about the same size as Shi Chen. He is carrying a huge giant spirit hammer. His whole body is covered with brown fur, and there is a thick brown turtle shell on his back.
If Li Yuan didn't use Yuan Shu and only chopped with a hidden edge knife, it might not be easy to break the turtle shell.
Before announcing the formal start of the duel, the blue and purple lights at the north and south ends illuminate the badge on the chest of the Yuan Zhe, and the relevant information about the Yuan Zhe will be displayed through the energy light curtains on the east and west sides above the auditorium.
The basic information of the Yuan participants in this session also showed one more item, which sect the Yuan people came from, which was specifically requested by Xia Lin Academy.
Nong Kai stood on the far right of the team, and on the left were two women with proud figures, wearing the same red dress with silver decorations on the skirt and shoulders. Shu Si with a double bun and Zhan Weiyan with a side bun. .
Further to the left, the orc with a wolf's head and body wearing a red robe and gold ornaments is Shang Heng'an from Qianjimen.
Liu Qinhua from Bihai Pavilion stood at the far left of the team, wearing blue and white brocade clothes.
From the analysis of each other's positions, Shang Hengan and Liu Qinhua will act together.
Shu Si and Zhan Weiyan came from the same Xuanhuo Sect. Even though they didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays, they still had the tacit understanding that they should have from the same sect.
The other party's deployment was the same as Li Yuan's previous speculation.
On the Yunjun Courtyard side, from left to right are Lu Jia, Meng Xingyu, Song Sitong, Li Yuan and Shi Chen.
Looking at the opponent's position from a distance, Li Yuan then thought about it. If Lu Jia and Shi Chen were to face each other, Shi Chen would face Nong Jia, and Lu Jia would follow him, it seemed that the battle would end faster.
And there is no need to worry about Lu Jia being threatened. After all, the opponent's strongest defense is the agricultural armor.
Shang Heng'an from Qianjimen is good at using firearms and his attacks should be the strongest.
But for Li Yuan, he can handle the firearms that Wan Xianyun in the Nirvana realm has also cultivated, let alone Shang Heng'an in the Yuandan realm.
Main stand.
Hou Han slowly stood up from the stone chair, stepped on his long sword, and flew to the sky above the duel square.
"Xia Lin won the championship to kick off the showdown. The showdown between Yunjun Court and Haoyi Courtyard is about to begin. The masters from both sides of the showdown salute on their respective preparation platforms."
After the words fell, Shi Chen and Lu Jia switched positions and then separated.
Each Yuan was thirty feet apart and saluted to the opposite team.
In the first duel, Hou Han personally served as the referee, which surprised the audience.
Three of the five Yuan practitioners who appeared in Yunjun Academy were students of Yunjun Academy. On the other hand, the five Yuan practitioners in Haoyi Academy all came from the Eight Sects.
Although Lu Jia, Meng Xingyu and Song Sitong also spent a lot of money to attract them to Yunjun Academy, they have been in the academy for several years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are academy students.
From the perspective of the academy, it is rare to see Xia Lin win the championship this time with students from our academy. Hou Han naturally has to personally host the showdown. This duel is also the first battle of this year.
After the two sides saluted, Hou Han raised his hands slightly, Xia Lin's Yuandao formation opened, and was immediately covered by an energy shield.
Suddenly, Li Yuan felt that his strength was suppressed and fell to the Yuanli realm. It should be the activation of the Xuanchu formation ban.
Qian Penghai, who was in the main stand, smiled slightly and said to Qin Yongtian through Mei Xuan: "Master Qin, it seems that Haoyiyuan will have no problem winning the first showdown."
The reason why Qian Penghai is so confident is because the five masters of Haoyi Academy come from eight sects. The disciples of these sects all have the ability to kill enemies beyond their levels.
Haoyi Yuan is jointly supported by Qianmo Chamber of Commerce and Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce. As the president of Qianmo Chamber of Commerce, there is nothing wrong with being optimistic about Haoyi Yuan.
Regardless, it would cost a lot to invite these sect elites.
In addition to supporting Haoyi Yuan, Qianmo Chamber of Commerce also supported Mingze Yuan with the Qian family and Tianling family.
The Nong Armor was found for Haoyiyuan with the help of the Tianling family, and some fees were charged in the process.
Qin Yongtian smiled faintly and nodded without making any rebuttal, acquiescing to Qian Penghai's opinion.
But in his heart, he believed that Yunjun Yuan was able to win not because he supported Yunjun Yuan, but because Li Yunqing, Yuan Yao and Qin Chen did not play.
He did not think that Li Yuan was careless and underestimated the enemy.
"President Qian, Mei actually thinks Yunjun Academy can win."
Mei Xuan, who was sitting between the two of them, suddenly shook her head and smiled.
"Mei Xuan, do you dare to bet with me, three thousand top grade Yuan Stones." Qian Penghai's face darkened.
"President Qian, this is the first game, you must be a bit stuck!" Qin Yongtian said with a smile.
"Why don't you dare? Mei is blocking you."
Qin Yongtian was startled. He didn't expect Mei Xuan to take the bet directly. This was not like Mei Xuan's usual style.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Yuan lived in Yunliu Chamber of Commerce before, and Mei Xuan was not optimistic about Yunjun Courtyard, but Li Yuan.
Mei Xuan agreed so readily that Qian Penghai felt a beat in his heart and couldn't figure it out.
The Yunliu Chamber of Commerce supports Haoxi and Yuyi, and Qian Penghai knows this very well.
