One day later, Xingluo City.
After a brief rest in the military camp and a whole day of driving, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is the well-deserved largest city in the empire, just like the first-tier cities in China's Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Moreover, Xingluo City also has the title of the imperial capital that will never fall.
The walls of Xingluo City are a hundred meters high and nearly a hundred meters thick. The purpose is to prevent those large-scale destructive soul cannons from attacking and to better protect the people in the city. Although this thing takes up a lot of space, it does work quite well. From the outside, Xingluo City looks quite majestic.
And just talking about this city wall, Yun Ying had an inexplicable strange feeling. It reminded her of an anime in her previous life. She couldn't remember exactly what it was about, but in that anime, people also built high walls to prevent enemies. Harmful.
The core of Xingluo City is in the center, called the Inner City. The inner city is 960 meters long and 750 meters wide. The height of the inner city wall is much different than that of the outer city, but 20 meters is still very high.
Moreover, such a huge city can accommodate a population of more than 8 million people. Adding in the outsiders, it can accommodate a maximum of 20 million people.
However, although this Xingluo City can accommodate up to 20 million people, it has become a bit crowded recently. The number of outsiders has increased several times. Although the streets cannot be called crowded, they are still crowded. And looking at it, it is different from the black hair that is seen during the peak period of tourist attractions in China, but it is mixed with some special hair colors, and there are all kinds of colors, and you can even see the phenomenon of "less gray heads".
As soon as they entered Star Luo City, everyone in Shrek was dazzled by the colorful hair colors. In addition, the weather was hot and the crowds were crowded. Even if they were soul masters and were not afraid of the hot weather, The crowd made me feel a bit depressed.
"Why are there so many people here?" Wang Dong used his hand as a fan to fan a few times and said angrily, "And this is a development exhibition? There are piles of bells and whistles."
"Stop talking about others, take a look at yourself first. Your pink-blue hair is the most conspicuous on the whole street." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, and then a bald head appeared out of nowhere and bumped him. Huo Yuhao staggered a few steps and almost fell down.
"Be careful." Beibei helped Huo Yuhao, while Xu Sanshi said impatiently: "When can we get to the hotel? The streets are really crowded."
"Come on, come on, please bear with me a little longer." Wang Yan wiped his sweat and said while looking at the names hanging on the surrounding hotels.
"By the way, as for the Star Emperor Hotel, it should be at Xingluo Plaza, right?" Yun Ying looked around and said with a sullen face.
Why can I still experience the crowds in Douluo Continent when traveling in my previous life?
Yun Ying: I’m so mentally broken!
"Xingluo Square?" Wang Yan took out the map and glanced at it for a few times, then determined the location and led everyone to push through the crowd and walk towards it.
You can't blame him for looking at the map. After all, in addition to giving lectures, Wang Yan spends most of his time in the library of Shrek's outer courtyard. This is one of the main reasons why his knowledge reserve is so rich.
When it comes to spending time in the library, Yun Ying actually admires Wang Yan. He spends more than ten hours there 24 hours a day. And mentioning the library, Yun Ying became angry. There was a theory class before, and Wang Yan happened to call Yun Ying when he asked a question. Normally she could answer it, but at the critical moment, she was in a state of mind. !
Fortunately, it was Wang Yan who asked the question, and the consequences were not as serious as Zhou Yi's, but he was also fined for endorsement. However, during the endorsement process, Wang Yan discovered that his mind was wandering. This...
This time the consequences were more serious. I was forced to memorize it all the time in the library, and I still had to memorize it with three thick books on my back. Because the library of Shrek's outer courtyard is generally open around the clock except for special circumstances. After all, there may be students looking for books to solve difficult problems. As a result, she memorized books there all night.
And Wang Yan was watching the whole process.
Absolutely.
Let's talk about what happened at this time. Wang Yan led everyone through the city gate facing the welcoming avenue. After arriving at Xingluo Square, the situation became much better. Although there were still a lot of people, seeing them leaving Come here, they all choose to avoid it. As for why... Just looking at the clothes, you can tell that he is from Shrek Academy.
Although they have arrived very late among all the participating colleges, as the defending champion and the number one college in the mainland, in the eyes of others, this is just because of the pride of Shrek College.
Arriving at the Star Emperor Hotel, even though they had seen brilliant buildings in Shrek City before, the students in the outer courtyard were still shocked by this seven-story building. Not to mention anything else, the area it covers is much larger than the largest hotel in Shrek City, and from the outside, the entire hotel looks magnificent.
The Shrek Academy team members were arranged in the luxurious rooms on the top floor. Not only does each person have a bedroom, there is also a dedicated conference room for them to use.
"Is this a rich life? I admire it!" Xu Sanshi smacked his mouth a few times and then said.
Beibei rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't your family quite rich? Why, you are so lost at this level?"
"No, no, no, Beibei, you are still too young," Xu Sanshi shook his head with a mysterious look, then lowered his voice and leaned into Beibei's ear and said, "According to my observation, even the waiters in this hotel are very... Beautiful young lady.”
"Can you have some high-level pursuits?" Beibei said disgustedly, "How can you chase Jiang Nannan like this?"
"I..." Xu Sanshi's face fell, "That's why I need you to help me, brother."
"I'm sorry, but I won't accompany you."
"No, good brother, help me!" Seeing that Beibei was about to leave, Xu Sanshi quickly grabbed him.
"What are you two doing again?" Jiang Nannan asked in confusion. She just heard Beibei mention her name.
"Nothing, nothing." Xu Sanshi denied quickly. Beibei rolled his eyes at him again, but surprisingly did not expose him. This made Xu Sanshi look at him in surprise, and then secretly gave him a thumbs up.
"Weird." Jiang Nannan stopped questioning and started choosing a room.
"Okay, after choosing your own room, let's take a rest first. We are tired after traveling all day." Wang Yan clapped his hands, said this, and then went downstairs to sign up.
the next day.
After resting last night, everyone looked much better - at least for the disciples in the outer courtyard.
At this time, all twelve players, plus the leader Wang Yan, were sitting in the conference room, holding a pre-game mobilization meeting.
Wang Yan was sitting at the top of the table with a solemn expression. On his left were the pale-faced Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Xixi and Gongyang Mo. Although there were five disciples in the inner courtyard, and they received medication and self-recuperation, their injuries were aggravated by the rapid journey. I'm afraid it will take a little longer to cultivate.
Under such circumstances, it's strange that Wang Yan's face looks good.
The deadline for the academy to register for the competition is today. Wang Yan had already registered with the organizers of the competition yesterday, but the reinforcements from Shrek Academy were delayed, which made him feel even worse.
It seems that this competition is all left to them.
Wang Yan even had the urge to turn around and leave, but he quickly suppressed this urge. After all, he was the leader of this team, and if he really left, the five injured people would be left. What to do with the disciples in the inner courtyard and the seven people in the outer courtyard?
Besides, three of the seven people in the outer courtyard are his students. As a teacher, he can't give up just like that. Otherwise, what will the team members think if he gives up like this? Moreover, the reputation of Shrek Academy will also be damaged.
Wang Yan tried to calm down his mood, and said with a smile on his face: "How did everyone have a rest last night? The treatment in the Star Luo Empire is really good."
Beibei, who was sitting first on his right, said worriedly: "I'm resting well. But Teacher Wang, today is the last day to register. The reinforcements from the college..."
Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I have received the letter from the academy, because it takes a certain amount of time to mobilize the students who are out. Moreover, our Shrek Academy also has privileges."
Alas, we have to fool them...
"Privileges?" Everyone in the outer courtyard was surprised.
Wang Yan nodded, and said seriously: "Yes! Don't forget, our Shrek Academy is the number one academy in the mainland. Which competition is not the final champion? Therefore, no matter when the people from our academy arrive, , can all supplement the registration..."
Yun Ying was speechless when Wang Yan said this. She also slipped out last night and looked at the registration rules. It clearly stated, "If the college team or students fail to register for the competition by the deadline, they will not be eligible to participate." sentence.
This is obviously a lie!
However, after carefully recalling the original work and combining it with the current situation, we can understand that Wang Yan was making up lies at this time. Although the other six people in the outer college did not know about it for the time being, as the leading teacher, how could he not know about the college? What is the arrangement at this time?
Yun Ying raised her head and glanced at Ma Xiaotao. She was leaning on the chair with a helpless expression. She felt Yun Ying's gaze and reluctantly made a shushing gesture to her.
Yun Ying: "..."
It’s not like I want to expose Wang Yan.
Although her actions just now were indeed misleading.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the ultimate battle between the various academies. Based on the principle of fairness and justice, the competition is based on the comprehensive strength of each academy. Therefore, the competition method is also the richest and most flexible..." Wang Yan calmly explained the rules of the competition to everyone in the outer courtyard. However, when he mentioned that the first round was the knockout round, everyone's expressions became visibly serious.
It would be a big joke if Shrek Academy participated in this competition and got a first-round defeat.
At this time, Wang Yan showed a confident and relaxed expression. He leaned back and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and then said: "What are you doing? Are you nervous? No need at all..."
Wang Yan acted on the spot again, which made everyone relax a lot. He said one thing after another. Although Wang Yan was trying to comfort everyone, the effect seemed very good. At least they had the confidence they should have.
After all, confidence is the pinnacle.
"...Okay, let's all go back and have a good rest. Recharge your batteries. Let's have a big fight tomorrow. Give those colleges a good beating." Wang Yan waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression.
Xu Sanshi was a little surprised: "Teacher Wang, you don't want to make tactical arrangements anymore?"
"Tactical deployment?" Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, then snorted angrily, "Deploy what? Are you insulting me or yourself? Faced with such an opponent, do you still need to deploy? Let's all go. Xiao Tao, You five stay here for a while, and I will find some elixirs for you."
The seven people in the outer courtyard left one after another. Wang Yan stood up and closed the door of the conference room. The relaxed look on his face disappeared without a trace.
However, at least they got through it and it also inspired some of their confidence, which can be considered good news.
When he returned to the top position again, Wang Yan's expression was already very solemn.
Dai Yueheng sighed and said: "Teacher Wang, does it make sense for you to comfort them like this? Although what you said is correct, those who represent other colleges are also elites among the students. There may be weak ones, but The average strength of most of them is at the Soul Sect level. Moreover, the first game tomorrow is the knockout round. Facing our academy, our opponents will definitely give it their all."
Ma Xiaotao said: "Teacher Wang did the right thing. If you don't say this, there will be no morale at all, and there will be no fighting tomorrow. We can only trust them completely now. Among the five of us, who do you think can take action now?"
Dai Yueheng was silent. Although Wang Yan's words made sense based on the situation at this time, his opponents would definitely use their full strength in the first match. By then, with the cultivation of the seven of them, they would be able to fight in the event of a fight. If it is very difficult, the newly established self-confidence may collapse, and the collapse will be more serious.
Wang Yan said solemnly: "I am leaving you three here to ask how long it will take for you to take part in the battle due to your current injuries. I need precise time."
After thinking for a moment, Ma Xiaotao said, "If we go all out to recuperate, it will take fifteen days."
Dai Yueheng said: "My cultivation is not as good as Xiao Tao, I'm afraid it will take longer, about seventeen days."
Xixi said: "In my words, it will be about twenty-four days."
Wang Yan's mood hit rock bottom, and he might not be able to resume participating in the war until the last moment!
Ling Luochen said: "My injury is relatively minor and I think I will recover in about ten days."
Finally there was some good news. After a little calculation, Wang Yan said: "In other words, if everything goes well, you can join the battle when the game reaches the third or fourth game of the knockout stage." Then, He turned to look at Gongyang Mo again: "What about you? How long will it take to recover?"
Gongyang Mo smiled bitterly and said: "As for me, it will take about twenty-six days before I can play in the finals."
this……
Wang Yan's heart was shattered. How was he going to play in the next game? Are you going to fight over there?
"Now we can only hope for their first game. As long as they win the first game, we can enter the knockout stage and we can continue. We ask you to keep it secret that we have no reinforcements. Their confidence needs to be built by winning. I believe they have the ability to support the glory of our Shrek Academy.”
"By the way, Teacher Wang, Xiao Yunying seemed to be about to say something just now. I feel like she may have discovered this." Ma Xiaotao said.
Wang Yan's face froze, and he sighed helplessly: "Just discover it if you find it. Anyway, it will be exposed sooner or later. However, from my usual observation of Yun Ying, she is the kind of person who is full of confidence at all times. "
Now, we can only believe them.
Wang Yan thought silently in his heart.
Not only the Shrek Academy representative team is having a meeting, but almost all participating colleges are doing mobilization work at this time. The same is true for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which is on the same floor as Shrek Academy.
They place second in almost every competition, so their treatment is almost the same as that of Shrek Academy. They have only one goal in this competition, and that is to strive for first place.
Although this goal has been achieved in previous sessions, it has never been achieved. And this session is the closest they have come to first place.
Of course, that's what they think.
In the conference room, two old men sat at the top, and a total of fourteen students sat on both sides. The student on the left was obviously older, while the one on the right was slightly younger. Obviously, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy also sent a regular team and a reserve team for five years.
The old man on the left side of the table above has a straight nose and a square mouth. He has a dignified appearance and a face as heavy as a jujube. Sitting there with broad shoulders gives people a very solid feeling. He said solemnly: "According to our observations, only twelve people came to Shrek Academy this time, and only five of them looked to be around twenty years old, while the others were younger. We enabled The people who had penetrated into the Star Luo Empire had received accurate information. When they signed up, only those five were nineteen or eighteen years old, and the other seven were under the age of fifteen. There was even one named Yun Ying's age is actually only twelve years old! In other words, Shrek Academy did not send seven regular members to participate in the competition this time. Only four of the seven members from the reserve team of the previous competition came. The nineteen-year-old female student also appears for the first time. Do you know what this means?"
The fourteen students on both sides were a little confused.
The first old man on the right has a beard, and he is also tall. His short white hair is like a steel needle, and the hair on both sides of the temples is connected to the beard, making him look very majestic.
He slammed the table, stood up and said: "This means contempt. They look down on us as the second place at all! They think that a reserve team can defeat us! This is a naked slap in the face! Do you know? The most direct Slap in the face!"
"Ma Rulong!" The old man slapped the table again, almost causing it to fall apart.
Desk: Did I provoke you?
"Here we come." A male student sitting at the head of the main team suddenly stood up.
"If we lose to a lineup like Shrek Academy in this competition, you, the captain, will get out of Mingde Hall."
"Yes." Ma Rulong's answer was still just one word, but the loud voice was full of murderous intent.
"Mr. Ma, don't worry. I don't think it's that simple." Sitting opposite Ma Rulong, the captain of the reserve team who is less than fifteen years old is a handsome boy. As for how to be handsome... emm, almost like a girl The kind of transformation.
Mr. Ma frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "What do you mean it's not that simple?"
The young man looked at his fingers and said: "Shrek Academy is not a fool. Don't they know that sending five people here is definitely not our opponent? I am very confident in Brother Rulong. I think they may be There must have been an accident. Hasn’t Shrek Academy always taken us very seriously? Would they be so careless?”
"Yes, yes, and brother, do you know, last night I saw a famous girl coming to our floor. She is a very cute little sister!" Next to the boy, a girl said excitedly, "And besides, she She is really good-looking, tall and sassy! And—"
"Stop, stop, stop!" The boy quickly interrupted the girl, "Sister, we are discussing Shrek's students. Please don't mention the girl you saw last night, okay?"
"What, didn't I mean Shrek's too? She's on the same floor as us!" The girl pursed her lips.
Mr. Ma was a little surprised and said: "Meng Hongchen, did you really see that girl on the same floor as us last night?"
Meng Hongchen said: "Yes, she also entered Shrek's room when she came back."
"Wtf???" Ma Rulong was a little confused. Someone was going to the Shrek Academy room this late at night? Is he their official team member?
"Mr. Ma, I think this matter needs to be discussed." Xiao Hongchen said solemnly.
Ma Rulong also rarely agreed: "I think so too."
Mr. Ma: “………………”
