In the world of no return, holding the sun and the moon

Chapter 51 Solo
The competition stage for this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was not built in the center of Xingluo Square, but on the edge of Xingluo Square closest to the Imperial City.

The nearly two-meter-high arena makes people look up. The round arena has a diameter of one hundred meters. There are a total of one hundred and eight metal pillars around the arena. These are protective soul guides. These metal pillars will form a protective shield to prevent all the soul skills inside from spilling out.

There was a rest area on the west side of the competition stage, but there were only seventy of them, which proved that the Xingluo Empire had not prepared seats for the colleges that were eliminated in the first round.

The first round of eliminations was very intense and was conducted in the form of an on-site draw, which meant that it was impossible to know the opponents in advance, so it was impossible to arrange corresponding tactics.

The sun slowly rose into the sky from the distant east, illuminating the entire arena and filling it with divine light.

Following an order from the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei above the Imperial City, people began to enter the Xingluo Square from all directions. The entry of the people also made the originally empty auditorium lively.

Xingluo Plaza is very large, and the auditorium alone can accommodate two hundred thousand people. Similarly, a ticket to watch the game only costs two gold soul coins, but if you want a front row seat, you must purchase a more expensive ticket.

Just as the audience entered, Xiao Ming and the others were already standing in the contestant area. Wang Yan had let him play alone in this competition, and he had already said this yesterday.

Xiao Ming stood at the front of the Shrek team. Even though he had reached the required height, Xiao Ming's face still looked a little immature. He was only twelve years old, and no matter how mature he was, he could not hide the problem of his very young age.

Behind Xiao Ming, there were only ten people, and only four of them were close to the maximum age for the contestants. The others were the same as Xiao Ming, and even in terms of body shape, Huo Yuhao and the other two were even younger.

However, the contestants from the academy standing at the back couldn't help but reveal some surprise when they saw the current lineup of Shrek Academy. Although they didn't know what Shrek was doing, judging from the momentum of the leader, they still felt a strong sense of oppression.

It took nearly half an hour for the audience to enter the venue. There were too many people. The originally empty Xingluo Square was now crowded. Fortunately, there were iron fences separating the areas, and soldiers maintaining order, so it didn't seem so chaotic.

Xiao Ming watched the performance of the Star Luo Empire quietly. After they bowed, the sound of cannon salutes announced the start of this Soul Master Competition.

Wang Yan had already drawn the lots, and it was up to Xiao Ming to come on the court after the referee had explained the rules.

The host of the competition said, "Please welcome the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to the stage."

A team of pale-faced young players came out. Perhaps no one expected that they would be the first to take the field. It also meant that they would be the first to face the legendary Shrek Academy. Each player was like a soldier going to the battlefield. Even with the cheers of the audience, they could not hide their fear.

"Come on!" Ling Luochen, who was on Xiao Ming's right, suddenly spoke.

Xiao Ming, who was originally feeling a little nervous, nearly had a heart attack. He turned around and rolled his eyes at Ling Luochen before walking forward. Even though he had lived two lives, this was the first time Xiao Ming appeared in such a grand scene, so it was inevitable that he was excited.

After seeing that all the students from Tianling High-level Soul Master Academy were present, the host shouted again: "Next, let us invite the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent and the true king among the academies, to come on stage."

Xiao Ming walked onto the stage. His nervousness had dissipated a lot because of Ling Luochen's disruption. Facing the audience's cheers, Xiao Ming waved his hand in response.

But when the audience saw that there was really only one person on stage, their anxious mood calmed down a lot. Even the audience didn't know what Shrek was doing, let alone the participating academies.

"Is this how we play the first game? Interesting, really interesting." Xiao Hongchen shook his head in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Things have gone beyond his expectations. This is not a question of whether he is a human or not. He believes that even if he is alone, he can defeat seven enemies. However, this will expose all his soul skills to the enemy. If he chooses to target them in the next game, Shrek will lose a trump card.

But the game is a game, and no matter how many people have doubts, the game will still continue.

The two sides began to approach each other and moved towards the center of the competition stage. When the opponents saw Shrek alone, their mood did not improve. Instead, their hearts fell to the bottom. History told them that no matter which academy faced Shrek, they would lose.

The two teams were already standing very close to each other, and Xiao Ming suddenly said, "Hello."

The seven people on the opposite side had puzzled expressions on their faces, and the tension in their hearts was greatly dissipated by Xiao Ming's nonsensical words. Just as they were about to respond, the referee began to read out the rules.

"The first round is a knockout match, a team battle. Both sides can use most soul guides to compete. But during the battle, if one side admits defeat, the other side cannot continue to attack. Soul guides cannot use high-lethality equipment such as fixed-type soul guides to fight. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ming was the first to say, "I understand."

Then the captain of the Tianling Advanced Spirit Master Academy also responded, and the referee nodded and said, "Okay, both sides retreat to the sides of the arena. Listen to my orders and start the game. Before I announce the start, no one may release their martial spirit in advance. Otherwise, they will be judged as losers."

Xiao Ming walked silently to the edge of the competition stage, and at the same time began to determine how long the flaming sword would be in order to kill the opponent in one blow.

On the other side, the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was also making final arrangements while retreating. Soon, both sides reached the edge of the field. The referee standing in the center of the field slowly raised his right hand, signaling the start of the game.

Xiao Ming looked quietly at the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy across from him. Seven people quickly lined up in a typical traditional stance.

One hundred and eight metal pillars shined brightly at the same time. Suddenly, white lights shot up into the sky, drew arcs and converged into the sky, and finally gathered in the air twenty meters above the top of the competition stage.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee lowered his raised right hand and shouted, "The match begins."

Following the referee's shout, the students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy began to release their martial spirits. Xiao Ming took a quick glance and found that he could deal with the opponent without the flaming sword. Five of them were at the fourth ring level and two were at the third ring level. They were going to attack me with this lineup?

Xiao Ming released his martial soul, and five soul rings of yellow, red, purple and black shone. Exclamations like a raging storm rang out from the mouths of hundreds of thousands of people at the same time. What they saw was that Xiao Ming's second soul ring was bright red.

The bright red color means the death of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and it also shows how powerful Xiao Ming is.

Ignoring the audience's cheers, the sun behind Xiao Ming rose into the sky, and the fourth soul ring lit up. The terrifying high temperature could even penetrate the soul guide shield and be felt by the people in the audience.

White smoke began to emerge from the bodies of the seven students from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, and their skin began to burn. Even their soul power resistance was of no avail. Under the sunlight, the seven people gradually fell to the ground, but no one chose to admit defeat.
