Chapter 417: First Battle, Tiandou Royal Academy vs Xiangjia Academy

When Xue Qinghe sat back down, the master of ceremonies came to his senses and his voice sounded again: "Now, let us invite Mr. Ning Fengzhi, the master of Qibao Glazed Sect, to give a speech for this competition."

As Ning Fengzhi stood up, fierce applause appeared again. The number one auxiliary soul master in the soul master world, everyone hopes to catch a glimpse of him.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and pressed his hands softly: "I am very happy to be invited by His Highness to be the opening guest of the first "Tian Dou Star Competition"."

"As the leader of a sect, I have witnessed the growth of too many soul masters."

"There are geniuses who were heroic when they were young, but suffered a blow and fell into despair."

"There are also those who have poor cultivation talent, who fight against geniuses and fail again and again, and who fail again and again, and only win in the end. They are mediocre people in the eyes of ordinary people."

"I want to say that as a soul master, talent determines the upper limit, but perseverance determines the lower limit. The growth of every soul master is destined to go through many hardships and tests before he can finally shine."

"Those invited to participate in this competition are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation. As His Highness just said, I hope you can bring glory to your college, bring glory to the empire, and become the pride of the empire."

"Thanks."

After finishing his speech, Ning Fengzhi was about to sit down. But I heard the master of ceremonies continue to speak: "Sect Master Ning, you are the strongest auxiliary soul master today. All the audience present today have many questions and want to hear your opinions."

"We have simply collected some of the questions and are going to randomly select one to ask you."

"What do you think?"

A very unique link, even if there is only one, Xue Qinghe actually allows the weak to ask questions to the strong at will?

I thought that the so-called questions in the newspaper were only about fighting spirit explanations, but I didn't expect that he was also included.

Could it be that Xue Qinghe had a relationship with the "Guyou Master" very early on. Did you also learn about the existence of artificial soul bones a long time ago?

Otherwise, how could the mere Xue family have the confidence to break up with the Qibao Glazed Sect?

Ning Fengzhi was a little surprised, unable to grasp Xue Qinghe's attitude, let alone the deeper meaning in his actions.

But who is he, the leader of Qibao Glazed Sect. One of the three great sects, one must not run away from the battlefield.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter."

Hearing this, the master of ceremonies breathed a sigh of relief. He waved to the maid to bring up a big red box, reached out and stirred inside, and took out a neat stack of small pieces of paper.

When he opened the piece of paper and saw the words inside, the smile on the emcee's face froze instantly, and his pupils suddenly shrank to a small dot.

This question offends people.

But in full view of everyone, he couldn't put it back and draw it again.

His mind went blank, and the emcee forced himself to speak: "Excuse me, Sect Master Ning, among the eight teams from the seven colleges, which team do you think is most likely to win the final victory?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Fengzhi almost at the same time.

The question itself was a bit difficult, and if Ning Fengzhi answered it carelessly, it would be easy for Ning Fengzhi to offend the students and senior officials of the other six advanced soul master academies.

The thought in my mind is probably: You Ning Fengzhi dares to look down on us. My xxx from xx College will starve to death, die outside, jump from here, and will not join your Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

As for whether it will be really fragrant in the future.

Let’s talk about the future in the future.

Everyone was watching the fun, except for the initiator of the fun, the emcee who had some questions, his body was trembling slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his palms and forehead.

Ning Fengzhi offended six academies, but he was also the head of the three upper sects, the Qibao Glazed Sect. If he offends Ning Fengzhi, he may not be able to survive as a human being.

If he was given another chance, the host would rather make up a random question than dare to ask this question.

As if aware of the host's difficulties, Ning Fengzhi still kept a smile on her face. With an idea coming to his mind, he replied: "In addition to being the leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect, I am also a father. As a father, I will support my daughter's team under any circumstances."

Family is always the answer that is least likely to offend people.

In this way, he did not offend the other senior soul master academies, but also secretly showed His Highness the Crown Prince that he would support the Imperial Fighting Team. Coupled with answering appropriately and showing magnanimity, it is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi successfully passed the test, the master of ceremonies quickly ended the topic: "Thank you, Sect Leader Ning, for your answer."

Sparse applause rang out, and then quickly joined together.

It's a pity not to hear Ning Fengzhi's true words, but it's better if the empire can give everyone a chance to ask questions than not having any chance at all.

There were also some soul masters in the audience who had a great impression of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It is better to have a quick-thinking and broad-minded sect leader than a petty sect leader who only knows how to fight and kill.

After Ning Fengzhi sat back down, the master of ceremonies said: "Next, let us invite Mr. Saras, the referee team leader of the Tiandou Star Competition, the master of the Tiandou City Spirit Temple, and the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Temple. Draw lots for the preliminary rounds.”

"After the lottery session is over, all spectators should follow the guidance of the staff and arrive at the venue indicated on the ticket. The leader of each team will bring a team member to attend the pre-game press conference. After the press conference, the game officially begins."

Amid warm cheers, Platinum Bishop Salas slowly stood up from his seat. Under the leadership of the maid, he slowly walked to the emcee and began to draw lots for the competition.

Perhaps it was because he didn't seem to want to talk much. Every time a college was drawn, he left it to the master of ceremonies to announce the two sides.

"In the first group of the first half of the preliminary round, Tianshui College will play against the second team of Tiandou Royal College."

"In the second group of the first half of the preliminary round, Chihuo College will play against Shenfeng College."

"The original plan is scrapped." Hearing that the opponent was the second team of Tiandou Royal College, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but smile and said to Xuewu behind her: "Let's win the championship together."

Since fate has decided to send them to the semi-finals, what reason does she have to refuse this gift?

Huo Wu, who was standing in the second place of Chihuo College, pulled the corner of Huo Wushuang's clothes and whispered: "Brother, remember to keep your strength appropriately when playing singles."

"Understood." Huo Wushuang turned his head to look in the direction of Shenfeng College and nodded slightly: "The opponent is Feng Xiaotian, and the only way to decide the outcome is the team competition."

But the players of Shenfeng College were not as nervous as Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.

"Hehe, sister Huo Wu, hehe."

The vice-captain of the Kamikaze Academy covered his face helplessly: "It's over, we won't even pass the preliminary round, right?"

As for the last Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2, no one cared about their thoughts in the huge Tiandou Great Fighting Soul Arena.

The Royal Fighting Team is just a meal replacement, so it's gone.

Salas continued to draw lots, and soon, the competition in the lower half was also divided.

"The first group of the lower half of the preliminary round, the first team of the Tiandou Royal Academy will play against the Xiangjia Academy."

"The second group of the lower half of the preliminary round, the Blue Tyrant Academy will play against the Thunder Academy."

The two academies related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect are about to stage a civil war that is not fierce but tit-for-tat.

And the Royal Fighting Team, which the audience is looking forward to, will encounter the fifth element of the four element academies under the Xiangjia Sect, the Xiangjia Academy, which is nominally of the earth attribute.

"Xiangjia Academy?"

Gu You turned his head to the left and saw a full fourteen meat mountains.

The reason why it is called meat mountains is that they look like fourteen sumo wrestlers.

No, the muscles are not as swollen as sumo wrestlers, and some muscle lines can still be seen. Perhaps, it is more appropriate to call them "King Bing".

Each person is dressed in black. The shortest and lightest one is estimated to be more than two meters tall and weighs about three hundred pounds. He is already on par with Gu You, the tallest and heaviest member of the Royal Fighting Team.

The tallest one is even more than two meters and five meters tall, less than half a meter away from the height of the general that Gu You dreamed of.

The weight is even more exaggerated. At first glance, with broad shoulders and strong arms, Gu You guessed that it was probably at least five hundred pounds.

No wonder the Xiangjia Sect and the Yuyi Clan are both famous for their outstanding defense in the continent. The former can be ranked as one of the four sects alone, while the latter must rely on the Haotian Sect to exist.

Just based on the normal body shape, how can the Yuyi Clan, who is no different from ordinary people, have a chance to win the Xiangjia Sect, which is like a meat mountain.

In addition, there is a tall woman in the Xiangjia Academy team.

With a height of 1.8 meters, he looked particularly "petite" compared to the direct disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect. The exposed aura did not feel heavy and solid. It was estimated that he was specially equipped with the auxiliary system to counter the poison attribute spirit master and to comply with the requirements of the rules.

Sensing Gu You's unconcealed gaze, the sturdy man standing at the front of the Elephant Armor Academy, who was also the tallest, turned his head suddenly and happened to meet Gu You's eyes.

Gu You mouthed to the sturdy man: "Hu Yanli?"

The Elephant Armor Academy is almost equal to the Elephant Armor Sect, and the captain is also the grandson of the sect leader Hu Yanzhen, Hu Yanli. Presumably, the tallest man must be Hu Yanli.

The captain of the Elephant Armor Academy also responded with his mouth: "Yes."

He is indeed Hu Yanli, who is considered by "Tianxiang" Hu Yanzhen to have the potential to surpass himself in the same period and have the opportunity to become a Titled Douluo.

At the same time, he looked at Gu You's exposed strong arms, and his expression could not hide a trace of surprise.

The weak nobles in the Tiandou Royal Academy can actually train a real martial artist.

"That's good."

Gu You replied casually, retracted his gaze, and cast his dilated pupils back to the VIP seats above.

Haha, the collision of power at the same level can always make people excited.

After the draw, Saras had no intention of speaking, and soon sat back in his seat at the voice of the emcee.

Normally, in such a good opportunity as the competition, he should speak out to try to recruit the talented soul masters below.

But he had just reached many agreements with Xue Qinghe more than half a month ago, and his relationship with the Tiandou Empire was in the honeymoon period, so he had no intention of poaching the empire in front of Xue Qinghe.

If he really wanted to poach people, wouldn't it be more refreshing to poach them in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition with 28 teams participating in two years?

The excited voice of the MC echoed through the loudspeaker soul guide: "Okay, the grouping is over. Please follow the guidance of the staff and leave the venue separately. The team leaders of each academy should remember to bring a team member to attend the pre-match press conference, otherwise they will be disqualified."

"Half an hour later, the competition officially begins."

Soon, under the guidance of the staff, the eight teams returned to their lounges from the eight entrances. Pushing open the door, I saw Qin Ming who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Xiao You, follow me."

"Yes, Teacher Qin Ming."

Signing others to go in and rest, Qin Ming and Gu You left the lounge and walked towards the area dedicated to the pre-match press conference under the guidance of the staff.

"Are you nervous?" Qin Ming asked: "Today seems to be your first time to participate in the soul master competition in the name of the academy."

He didn't go to Soto City, and he didn't even stay in the academy to train with his teammates for a long time. Qin Ming was a little worried whether Gu You could take on the responsibility of the captain of the Royal Fighting Team.

The captain of the Royal Fighting Team is nominally the strongest soul master of the younger generation of the Tiandou Empire. Since he is the strongest, he should bear the expectations imposed by everyone in the empire.

That is, winning the championship.

Especially the Tiandou Empire, which has been without a championship for many years, is as eager for the honor of the championship as the fans of the Chinese football team. Such heavy expectations cannot be simply "nervous" or "heartless".

According to past practice, the freshmen of the team should sit on the bench most of the time, watching the old players fight for honor, and occasionally appear on the field to familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the game.

When the old players graduate from the academy, the former freshmen will become old players and continue to fight for the honor of the empire and the academy.

Yu Tianheng is like this. He was still sitting on the bench in the last game, and he should be the absolute core of the team in this game.

But Meng Yiran's magic skill was wiped out before, and Gu You suddenly appeared after.

The "back wave" is too strong, and has a rare martial soul fusion skill. Yu Tianheng and other "front waves" are all unable to fight back, so they skipped the "old leading the new" stage and directly let Gu You shoulder the responsibility of protecting the honor of the empire.

Qin Ming was worried that Gu You would be under too much pressure. Even if there was no problem with his strength, he would perform poorly on the final stage of the fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, Teacher Qin Ming."

Gu You replied: "I'm not the one who should be nervous."

". You're right."

Recalling the scene in the Fiery Islands, when Gu You was lying on Zhan Long while singing and stabbing fiercely, Qin Ming always felt that he saw a big red "danger" above Xiangjia Academy.

After sending the two to the door, the staff bowed and left. There was a noisy sound coming from behind the door, and Qin Ming couldn't help but remind him: "Be gentle."

"Don't worry."

Gu You smiled gently and pushed open the closed door: "If they can be smarter."

——

ps1: Kingpin, a super villain under Marvel, his main opponents include Spider-Man, Daredevil, Punisher and other street heroes.

His huge body is not because he is fat, and his decent white suit is full of solid muscles. Just looking at the strength column, it is level 4, enough to wrestle with Spider-Man (Spider-Man's strength is also level 4, but everyone knows that Star Platinum and Stone Freedom are both strength A).

ps2: The height and weight of the disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect are all original designs of the Third Young Master, and I have not made any deletions or modifications.
