Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 180 Girl Group’s Popularity

Seeing the contents of the letter, Huo Wu showed an expression of disbelief.

She looked at Liuxing and Liuyingying carefully, but really couldn't see anything special about them. Well, one was very handsome and the other was very beautiful.

But judging from their ages, the two were younger than her. She didn't understand why her father would let two obviously young people temporarily join the Blazing Team and take up two regular spots.

"Hmm? Let me see."

Hearing Huo Wu's words, Huo Wushuang and others also showed astonishment. Huo Jun, Huo Chui, Huo Yun, Huo Yu, Huo Lie and others who were selected looked at Liu Xing and Liu Ying with hostility.

They had finally defeated their competitors in the academy and won the main selection position, so why should they give it up to two strangers who suddenly came in?

Huo Shi took the letter from Huo Wu and read it, frowning. The letter only said that the two of them would join the Chihuo Academy team and participate in the competition as regular players. As for the reason, Huo Tianxin did not explain it in the letter.

"Since this is what the dean meant, then..."

Huo Shi turned around and looked at Huo Yu and the others. Since Liu Xing and Liu Ying were arranged by the dean to be the main candidates, there must be a reason. He believed that the dean would not joke about such things. Now he could only choose two people from Huo Yu and the others to replace them.

It's impossible for Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang to do it, so we have to let others do it.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Fire Lion."

Huo Wu interrupted Huo Shi and turned to look at Liu Xing and Liu Ying. She said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why Dad did this, I trust his judgment. However, if you want to become a regular, then you must show your ability to prove that you are qualified. Otherwise, as the vice-captain, I will not agree to your becoming a regular."

Liuxing was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Huo Tianxin to directly ask them to replace the starters. They actually just wanted to have the qualification to participate in the competition. It didn't matter whether they were starters or substitutes. As long as they could play two games, their goal would be achieved.

"Captain Huo Wu, we have no intention of competing for the starting position. As long as we can play in the game, being a substitute is fine."

Liuxing knew very well that he and Liuying, two outsiders, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched the starting positions. Although Huowu, Huoshi and others did not say it, they must have felt resentful in their hearts. The two people whose positions were snatched away would definitely hold a grudge against them.

Although Liuxing is not afraid, it is better to have less trouble than more, and being a starter or a substitute has no meaning to him and Liuying.

After hearing what Liu Xing said, Huo Wu's expression softened a bit, and the other regular team members also looked at Liu Xing with friendlier eyes.

It’s good that they are not here to grab positions. Having two more substitutes is also a good thing for them. Being noticed by the dean means that they must be very capable, even if they have connections.

"In that case, you two will serve as substitutes for the time being."

Huo Shi nodded. This was the best option. It would allow two people to join the team without affecting the harmony of the team.

"Welcome to the Blazing Team."

Huo Wushuang then walked forward and extended his right hand to Liuxing. As the captain, he wanted to welcome the newcomer on behalf of the team.

"You guys, please don't hold us back."

Huo Wu crossed her arms across her chest, her chest standing out so clearly that you couldn't even see your toes when you looked down.

"Of course."

Liu Xing stretched out his hand and shook hands with Huo Wushuang, smiling faintly.

"The opening ceremony is about to begin. I'm going to hand over the list of participants to the organizers. You two came just in time. If you were any later, I would have handed in the list."

Seeing that Liuxing and Liuying had integrated into the team and were already getting to know each other, Huoshi felt relieved. After giving some instructions, he headed towards the organizer's registration desk.

Not long after, the staff of the competition organizer entered the fighting arena and began to organize the teams from various colleges to enter in an orderly manner.

Following the staff into the entrance passage, as soon as we entered the competition venue, what caught our eyes was a huge and wide square. Surrounding the square were countless spectators shouting and cheering.

Directly in front of the central venue is a rostrum with a golden background. Behind the rostrum is the renovated VIP area.

The wide venue has a diameter of more than 150 meters. The colleges entering from the front have been arranged in a neat formation in the center of the venue. When each college enters, there is a special emcee on the rostrum to introduce it.

Following Huo Wu and the others, Liuxing and Liuying also stood in the center of the venue.

The academies next to them were Kamikaze and Tianshui. The most eye-catching groups were undoubtedly the Tianshui girls' group and the Botany girls' group. Each had its own strengths, with the Tianshui girls' group as pure as a spring, exuding a fresh and refined aura.

The plant girl group is like blooming flowers, carrying the freshness and naturalness of nature.

In terms of popularity, these two girl groups crushed other colleges. Just look at the light boards waving by the audience on the stage and the people shouting the names Tianshui and Zhiwu.

"This popularity is really true."

Liuxing smacked his lips in amazement. This was almost as popular as Shrek Academy was during their previous competition. The girl group was really awesome.

"The last team to enter is the Shrek Academy team. Shrek Academy, formerly known as Blue Tyrant Academy, changed its name to Shrek a year ago. Look at how distinctive their unique attire is. There are eleven students participating in the competition. Their registration slogan is 'Unrivaled Champions'. It's a very thoughtful slogan. I hope they can perform well."

At this time, the host's voice sounded again, and the last college entered. However, his words caused laughter from the audience in the stands, and the sound of booing continued one after another.

Meteor glanced in the direction of Shrek. No one would have thought that the team that everyone was laughing at at that moment would have been the champion of this competition if nothing unexpected happened.

Moreover, Liuxing knew very well that even if he and Liuying did not interfere, it would be difficult for Shrek Academy to win the championship, because Qian Renxue, who had obtained information about Ye Guyi, also interfered and brought Ye Guyi into the Spirit Hall team.

Qian Renxue is 24 years old this year and has the cultivation level of Soul Emperor. According to the competition rules, she is qualified to participate in the competition. After all, the age limit for this competition is under 25 years old, and Qian Renxue is just the right age.

She was not interested in this kind of competition at first, but who made her interested in Shrek Academy? She wanted to see with her own eyes what abilities the Shrek Seven Devils, who Ye Guyi said could defeat their Spirit Hall, had.

It is already the limit for Tang San and others to defeat Hu Liena and Xie Yue. With the even stronger Qian Renxue and the current Ye Guyi, there is no chance of winning.

Ye Guyi has not been idle in the past two years. She has purified most of the evil soul master's resentful soul in the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. With the guidance of Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, she has broken through to level 50. Now she is being taken by Snake Spear Douluo to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the fifth soul ring.

Ye Guyi's progress was very fast, thanks to the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, the Spirit Hall's experience in cultivating angel spirits, and some precious resources exclusive to angel spirits.

Qian Renxue spared no effort in winning over Ye Guyi, which resulted in Ye Guyi now owing more and more favors. However, she found it difficult to refuse the temptation to improve her strength.

Although she did not join the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue invited Ye Guyi to help the Spirit Hall play in the competition, and she did not refuse.

With the addition of Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi, the Spirit Hall now has a lineup of one Soul Emperor, four Soul Kings, and two Soul Masters. If this lineup were in the competition of Liu Xing and his team, they would have the strength to compete for the top four.

Of course, if the age limit is set at under 20 years old, the Spirit Hall team would not be worth mentioning.

Meteor ignored the audience's laughter at Shrek Academy and took a quick look at the surroundings.

This fighting arena is quite large, with a grandstand that can accommodate 80,000 spectators. The silver-background decorations and hanging crystal lamps all exude a sense of luxury and grandeur.

On the VIP platform, there were three people sitting at the highest point. The one in the middle was wearing a golden-red robe and a golden diamond crown on his head. He had an old face, but exuded a noble temperament.

Undoubtedly, this is the current emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye.

On the left of Emperor Xue Ye was an even older man, covered in a bright red robe and wearing a five-pointed white gold crown on his head.

Looking at the five-pointed platinum crown on his head, he is undoubtedly the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall and the Master of the Spirit Branch Hall in Tiandou City.

There are only four platinum bishops in the Spirit Hall, and this is one of them.

The person on the right, wearing a white robe and a seven-treasure purple gold crown that symbolizes his identity, is obviously Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the top three sects.

"Now, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire to announce the opening of this competition."

The emcee on the side of the VIP table said loudly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Xue Ye, who was sitting in the center of the VIP stand, slowly stood up amid applause from the entire audience.

He raised his right hand and waved lightly to the audience and the participating soul masters below. The applause quickly stopped, and the square of Nuo University became silent.

A resounding voice echoed throughout the venue through the amplified soul guide. "I, Xue Ye, Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire and the organizers of this competition, declare that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is now open."

As soon as Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out again, and cheers rang out one after another.
