Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 105: -Star Luo Team
early morning!!
As soon as the Shrek Academy team, dressed in dark green uniforms, appeared in Xingluo Square, they aroused cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

From the initial competition of over a hundred teams to the current final four, the competition has lasted for more than a month.

For the remaining four teams, each team only has two more big battles left. The time for decisive victory has come, and the time for all-out fighting has also arrived.

The rest area has been renovated, and there are only four areas left, and each team is far apart from each other.

There was nearly half an hour before the start of the game, and everyone from the four teams had already arrived.

Occasionally, sparks would burst out between the four teams when their eyes collided. While the fighting spirit was high, the atmosphere in the rest area also became solemn, tense, and even a bit chilling.

The first day of the semi-finals was a team battle.

To everyone's surprise, a ten-meter-wide red carpet was spread from the direction of the imperial city gate to the front of the competition stage. Ten minutes before the lottery started, the imperial city palace gate opened wide. His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire strode out surrounded by the palace guards and walked straight towards the competition stage.

"Long live, long live, long live!" All the soldiers responsible for maintaining order raised their weapons and shouted long live the mountain.

The people immediately noticed the emperor's appearance and also shouted long live the mountain.

The members of the four teams also stood up and paid attention to His Majesty the Emperor.

Next to the Emperor of Xingluo Empire stood four old men, forming a square with the Emperor at the center of the square. There were only twenty guards following him, which did not seem exaggerated.

However, the players of each participating team knew clearly that this escort team was extremely luxurious. The four old men were probably all Titled Douluo-level masters worshipped by the Xingluo Empire.

Cheers suddenly erupted in Xingluo Square, which showed that His Majesty the Emperor was very loved by his people.

The Emperor of the Xingluo Empire made no effort to stop the commotion. Instead, he gazed at the civilians in the distance with a calm, smiling expression. When the square gradually quieted down, he smiled and said, "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is a grand event held every five years on our Douluo Continent. I am deeply honored that this competition can be held in my country."

First of all, I would like to thank the over one hundred college teams from various countries. They have presented wonderful matches, allowing us to witness the rapid development of the soul master and soul guide world on the mainland. They also gave me the opportunity to enjoy the fun with the people.

"Today, the semi-finals will begin later, and this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will also come to an end. The drawing of the semi-finals is also the last drawing of this competition, so I decided to personally host this drawing. Hope History Lake Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Diao Academy and our Star Luo National Academy of the Star Luo Empire can provide everyone with more exciting competition scenes in the final game."

His Majesty the Xingluo Emperor's speech was grand and humorous, and not lengthy. As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience once again cheered "Long live the Emperor".

Among the four old men who followed him on stage, the one on the front left took two steps across, faced the direction of the rest area, and said in a deep voice: "Invite the captains of the four teams to come on stage to draw lots."

An indescribable powerful aura suddenly burst out from the old man's body. The astonishing pressure even made everyone in Xingluo Square feel as if the sky was darkening.

Emperor Xingluo smiled and said: "In order to ensure the safety of the players on both sides in the semi-finals and finals, I have decided that in every subsequent game, the Imperial Protector Douluo will serve as the referee and preside over the game. Today's draw The first match will be hosted by senior Huang Jinxu, whose title is Tiansha."

The purpose of sending Titled Douluo as referee is, firstly, to protect the lives of the students in the upcoming competition. After all, the four participating academies all have surprising origins. If there is a mistake and the students are seriously killed or injured, the Xingluo Empire will be more or less implicated.

The second reason is naturally to show national strength and demonstrate.

The four team captains representing the top four have already arrived on the stage.

From Shrek Academy, it was Ma Xiaotao; from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, it was Ma Rulong; from Diao Academy, it was a young man of medium build with broad shoulders and a broad back. But from Xingluo National Academy, it was a young girl who took the stage. It was Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire.

The competition uniforms of Xingluo National Academy are light yellow uniforms. Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess is different from the elegant and noble one she looked like at the auction that day. Her temperament has changed as she is wearing a fancy outfit. The whole person looked heroic. Her long blond hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, with a faint smile on her pretty face. She was wearing a well-tailored yellow outfit that perfectly outlined her delicate body.

Ma Rulong just glanced at the princess. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes and he immediately turned his gaze towards him. However, the captain of Di'ao Academy looked deeply at Princess Jiujiu for a few times before looking away.

Wang Yan couldn't help but frown as he watched Xu Jiujiu on the stage. Before today, the princess had never appeared in the Xingluo National Academy camp. However, according to the information he had received, the Xingluo Empire did have a vacant reserve position.

Wang Yan's mind trembled slightly, a sudden realization flickering in his eyes. "I remember, Yaoheng. The Xingluo Empire's royal Xu family's heirloom spirit should be the Star Crown. Could it be that the princess's spirit is also..."

Dai Yuheng, who was standing next to Wang Yan, nodded seriously.

"Teacher Wang, your guess is correct. Although the Xu family, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, has a weak bloodline, the powerful Star Crown Martial Soul has been passed down through the generations. My father once commented on the current emperor's cultivation, and at the time, he simply said four words: unfathomable. His Majesty is the most outstanding cultivation talent in the royal family in the past three hundred years. Jiujiu also inherited the royal family's Star Crown Martial Soul, but in recent years, she has rarely demonstrated her true cultivation in public. I came to our Shrek Academy to study at the age of eleven, and I am not very clear about Jiujiu's specific cultivation level. However, when Jiujiu awakened her martial soul, she had an innate ninth-level soul power. With the various resources of the royal family, she should have cultivated to at least the Soul King level by now."

Wang Yan took a deep breath and said with a serious look: "Let's look at the draw first." The four captains representing the four major colleges have come to the stage and the draw has begun.

Under the watchful eyes of the four titled Douluo, the four captains came before His Majesty the Xingluo Emperor. Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly and said: "I am very happy to meet you young talents. The competition is about to begin. I hope you can complete this competition with the purpose of friendship first and competition second. I will write four signatures later. The ball is thrown out, you all go grab it at the same time, are you ready?"

Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at Princess Jiujiu beside her, and said, "Okay."

Princess Jiujiu smiled slightly and nodded. Ma Rulong and the captain of Di'ao Academy also nodded respectively.

"Attention." Emperor Xingluo narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, no one saw clearly how he took action. Four golden lights rose into the sky at the same time.

Ma Xiaotao had been ready for a long time. As soon as the Xingluo Emperor made a move, she soared up. Whether it was her, Diao Academy or Ma Rulong, they all made the same choice, rushing towards the golden ball in the air at the fastest speed.

Only Princess Jiujiu remained motionless, still standing there with a smile on her face.

When Ma Xiaotao began to fall, the captain of the Diao Academy and Ma Rulong both succeeded. The last golden ball fell from the sky, and Princess Jiujiu simply stretched out her hand and caught it.

A faint smile appeared on the pretty face of the princess. She glanced at the ball in her hand. Although she was the last to succeed, she was the first to report the result.

"I'm number one."

Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "No. 2."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes fell directly on Princess Jiujiu's pretty face, "No. 1."

So far, although the Di Ao Academy has not yet announced the number, the draw results have come out. Shrek Academy, which is also number one, will play against Xingluo National Academy today. And Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will naturally face Di Ao Academy.

After Emperor Xingluo personally checked the lottery numbers, he announced the results to the people. When the people of the Star Luo Empire heard that their team was going to face Shrek Academy, waves of exclamations kept coming from the audience.

The rules for the semi-finals and finals follow the same rules as the previous knockout rounds, and are also held over two days, with team battles and individual knockout rounds. The difference is that you must win both games to qualify. If both teams win one game each, then they must play a two-two-three game. In other words, winning a team battle no longer has any advantage.

The difference between the semi-finals and the finals is that the semi-finals are not completed in one day, but in the finals, team battles, individual knockout rounds, and two-two-three tactics will be carried out in one go. At that time, the competition will not only be about strength, but also about sustained fighting power and endurance. , but also a contest of willpower.

Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "I wish the four teams to be able to show their full strength in the next game. The draw is over, please prepare yourselves. The first team battle today will be between Shrek Academy and Xingluo National Academy, and the second will be between Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Di'ao Academy."

The game is about to begin and players from both teams begin to go on stage one after another.

Ma Xiaotao walked in front, followed closely by Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and Ling Luochen, while Wu Xuan, Beibei, and Xu Sanshi were at the end.

This was the first time that Shrek Academy competed with its strongest lineup. The cheers of the audience instantly resounded through the sky. The scene was very shocking.

This time, unlike in the past, most of the audience in Xingluo Square were just cheering for Shrek Academy. Instead, the scene presented a confrontation between Shrek Academy and Xingluo Royal Academy.

The vast majority of the audience present were from the Star Luo Empire, so it was natural for them to support their own country's academy.

On the other side, the seven students from Xingluo Royal Academy also appeared calm.

The players who were about to go out for the match came out one by one, with Xu Jiujiu walking in the front.

However, her gaze only paused briefly on Ma Xiaotao before settling on Wu Xuan, who stood in the center of the Shrek Academy crowd. Her bright blue eyes radiated a faint golden sheen, and her gaze was calm. But if one looked closely, one could discover a sense of vastness, like the ocean.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes were like two burning flames, and the blazing aura brought great oppression to the opponent.

Tiansha Douluo's gaze swept over Ma Xiaotao. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said sternly, "Both parties, retreat. No one may release their spirits until I declare the match begun."

The players on both sides retreated at the same time, but their eyes were always on each other. However, during the retreat, the formation changed rapidly.

On the Shrek Academy side, the previous formation was changed. Dai Yuheng, Chen Zifeng and Ma Xiaotao were still at the front, but behind them were Wu Xuan and Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi stood at the end next to Ling Luochen.
