Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 129 The competition begins, a one-man race

In Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, Lin Yi saw the beautiful scorpion again, and a hint of intoxication appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

"Hello, Hyokui."

"I have to admit, you are the most beautiful soul beast I have ever seen. If it weren't inappropriate, I would really like to invite you to be my companion."

Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Bingcan's expressions changed at the same time as the same thought crossed their minds:
This is to poach people.

No woman doesn't want to hear compliments, and the same goes for female soul beasts.

Bingdi immediately felt that the human cub in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes that were like yellow gemstones, which made Tianmeng Bingcan, who was standing beside him, feel alarmed.

This kid's rank is not low...

But Bingdi did not forget the important matter.

"Why do you have the ultimate snow?"

"This is a gift from the Snow Emperor."

Ice Emperor's expression suddenly changed, thinking of his own situation, "You absorbed the Snow Emperor?!"

Tianmeng Bingcan and Huo Yuhao looked at Lin Yi with a look of surprise and confusion.

After all, that is the Snow Empress, the leader of the three kings of the Far North, the ruler of the Far North and one of the three most ferocious beasts!

Lin Yi shook his head. "The Snow Queen is doing well now. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be preparing to survive the 700,000-year catastrophe."

A hint of joy flashed across Bingdi's eyes, and then he looked at Lin Yi warily, "How do you prove what you said?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment, "My Ultimate Snow should be able to prove that this is the attribute I gained after signing the contract with the Snow Empress. In return, the Snow Empress's previous injuries were also healed by my master."

Bingdi's thoughts raced, but he finally said, "I don't believe it unless you can prove it to me."

Lin Yi shook his head. "I can't prove to you right now that this is Xingluo City, not Shrek Academy. I'll prove it to you when we return to the academy after the competition."

But Bingdi suddenly changed his attitude, "No, I want you to prove it to me now, otherwise, you will stay here!"

No one expected that the Ice Emperor would suddenly turn hostile, and Tianmeng Bingcan and Huo Yuhao hurried forward to stop her.

"Bingbing, don't be impulsive!"

"Ice Emperor, don't do it!"

Facing Ice Emperor's sudden attack, Lin Yi remained calm and simply looked at him, "I advise you not to act rashly."

"Let's not even talk about whether you have the ability to keep me here. What if what I just said is true? The contract I signed with Xue Di is a blood contract. You may not understand what this means, but my life is now connected to Xue Di's. If I die, Xue Di will die too. If I get hurt, Xue Di won't be better off either."

"This is impossible! How could such a thing exist? How could Xue Di sign such a contract with you?"

"Hmph," Lin Yi snorted coldly, "You must know that there are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you think. This world is much bigger than you think."

"You'd better behave yourself, otherwise, it won't be difficult for me to extract your spirit from Yuhao's body."

"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should still think about the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan in the Far North. If you really piss me off, I can just call in a few of my teachers to exterminate your Ice Jade Scorpion Clan's bloodline!"

"you dare!"

Bingdi was extremely shocked and angry, but for the moment he really didn't dare to do anything.

"Humph!"

Lin Yi snorted again, "After the competition is over and we return to the academy, I will let you see the Snow Empress. Until then, you'd better behave yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you."

After glancing coldly at the Ice Emperor and the equally startled Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Lin Yi nodded at Huo Yuhao and disappeared into the sea of ​​consciousness.

"This bastard!"

The Ice Emperor used its front claws to hammer the spiritual ocean hard, causing a huge wave. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm carefully comforted it on the side.

Huo Yuhao also left the Sea of ​​Consciousness, said goodbye to Lin Yi, and returned to his room.

The next morning, the moment the Golden Crow was born, it added a bit of solemnity to this city that would never fall.

The area around Xingluo Square had already been under martial law, with countless soldiers in armor cordoning off the area. Only participants inside the Xinghuang Hotel were allowed to move.

The competition venue has been prepared long ago. It is located in front of the main gate of the imperial city. It is one hundred meters long and wide and five meters high. It is surrounded by one hundred and eight metal pillars as protective soul guides. After the competition starts, one hundred and eight soul masters will be responsible for injecting soul power into it to ensure that the venue will not be disturbed and the fluctuations inside will not spread and hurt innocent people.

The viewing areas in the square had already been prepared, and Xingluo even mobilized the army to maintain order.

Following the order from Xu Jiawei, the contemporary Xingluo Emperor on the city wall, people began to enter the venue, and students from each participating academy also went to their respective positions.

Lin Yi and other members of the Shrek Seven Devils team naturally came to their own competition area. The dozen or so people in dark green school uniforms were very conspicuous, attracting the surrounding students to look over here. Lin Yi felt uncomfortable.

All preparations were not completed until noon.

On the city wall, a huge voice suddenly spread throughout the place.

"quiet!"

All the soldiers immediately raised their swords high, and the murderous aura shocked the entire audience, and the previous noise suddenly quieted down.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly knelt on the ground, and all the soldiers knelt on one knee with the sharp blades in their hands placed flat on the ground.

All the participating students bowed in salute.

Lin Yi stood there, not moving. As a high-ranking member of Shrek who had already entered the Sea God Pavilion, even the emperor of the Star Luo Empire was not qualified to ask him to perform such a great ceremony.

Lin Yi looked at Xu Jiawei on the city wall, and memories from another world rushed up crazily, eventually turning into only six words:
This is what a man should do.

Among the shorter crowd, Lin Yi, who had grown to 1.8 meters in height, was indeed quite conspicuous. Naturally, some people on the city wall noticed him, including the Star Luo Empire Emperor Xu Jiawei.

But when he saw the Shrek school uniform on Lin Yi, the dissatisfaction in his heart was immediately suppressed, and nothing happened.

"Everyone is safe."

After the interlude ended, Xu Jiawei immediately began his speech, and the people and students below looked at him, perfectly playing the role of the audience.

Finally, without too much talk, Xu Jiawei announced the start of the game.

The surrounding civilians and soldiers shouted "Long live the emperor!" three times, echoing through the sky. A salute, already prepared, blared from the city walls. After one hundred and eight rounds, the race officially began.

On the city wall, the same huge voice from before was announcing the rules.

"A total of 133 academies are participating in this tournament. In the first round of eliminations, except for one academy that received a bye, there will be a total of 66 matches. Now, the first round will begin soon. Let us welcome the two teams in the first match. They are the representatives of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Douling Empire."

The voice paused, then spoke even louder, "And the Shrek team, the continent's number one academy, the undefeated legend that has won every major championship in the past thousand years!"

As soon as Shrek's name came out, all the people cheered.

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"

The momentum was even not weaker than the previous cheers of "Long live the emperor", and it also allowed Lin Yi and others to feel for the first time what kind of prestige Shrek, the first academy on the continent with a history of thousands of years, had.

Lin Yi slowly exhaled and looked at Huo Yuhao, whose face was a little pale.

"Are you ready? It's your turn."

Beibei's face was solemn, and her eyes were full of anxiety. "Ayi, isn't it a bit too hasty to let Yuhao go alone? How about we send all the reserve team? At worst, we can just not take action. It's just a safety net."

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly on the side.

Lin Yi's tone was a little impatient. "What are you afraid of? You all heard the cheers just now. Just based on Shrek's reputation, if it weren't for this being an elimination match, the other team would have surrendered directly. But even now, they are facing tremendous psychological pressure. Yuhao is the perfect person to go."

"This is Shrek's first match, so we must show our momentum. Yuhao will be the best on his own."

Everyone admitted that Lin Yi was right, but...

"What if? What if the other party resists and chooses to fight back? What about Yuhao? What about Shrek's glory?"

"I take responsibility, do as I say."

No one asked what qualifications Lin Yi had, this was an obvious thing.

"Alright." Lin Yi patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, his lips moving a few times. "Go ahead. It'll be time to urge him soon."

Huo Yuhao's eyes changed slightly, showing a bit of strangeness, but he still knew that the matter was settled, so he had to walk slowly towards the competition stage with a slightly stiff figure.

But in the eyes of the people around and the contestants from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master School on the opposite side, this was the ease brought about by the certainty of victory.

After waiting for a while, Huo Yuhao was still the only one from the Shrek team standing on the competition stage.

The referee couldn't help but say, "Student, please let the other Shrek players get on the stage quickly. This is a team battle."

Huo Yuhao took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and shook his head pretending to be calm.

"There are no other team members, just me, that's enough."

The referee was stunned. So pretentious...

The contestants from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy on the opposite side were angry at first, and then they were even more terrified. Shrek had a long history and would not joke about its own glory in such a competition. So, did the man in front of them really have the ability to defeat them single-handedly?

Looking across at the childish Huo Yuhao, the students at the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy felt a deeper sense of fear. Such a young student possessed such prowess. Was this the true essence of the continent's premier academy?

The referee saw that Huo Yuhao was the only Shrek player on the stage, while the other Shrek players below were chatting among themselves and didn't even look at the stage, so he could only accept the fact that only one Shrek player was on the stage.

On the city wall, Xu Jiawei was still wondering what Shrek was up to this time. Why was there only one elementary school student on the stage? He had even asked for the registration information of the Shrek team members. The boy on the stage was named Huo Yuhao, and he was just a reserve player.

Could it be that the reserve players of Shrek now have the ability to defeat an entire academy on their own?

The referee on the field said in a deep voice: "You can use soul guides to fight, but when one side admits defeat, the other side cannot continue to attack. Soul guides cannot use high-lethal equipment such as fixed soul guides in battle. Do you understand?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I understand."

On the other side, the captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy also replied: "Understood."

Then they all stepped back to the two sides of the playing field.

The referee raised his right hand and swung it down suddenly, "Game on."

The referee then flew back, and around the competition stage, one hundred and eight metal pillars suddenly raised a soul power shield, completely covering the competition stage.

The formation of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy has been fully prepared, and even the martial spirits have been released. With five Soul Masters and two Soul Lords, it is already a considerable strength.

But facing Huo Yuhao, no one chose to take the initiative.

The preliminary preparations were very tedious, but the competition ended very quickly.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and his figure suddenly twisted. Everyone only felt a flash of light, and Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared, replaced by Lin Yi's figure.

The moment Lin Yi appeared, a terrifying aura appeared on the field. A blood-red light shone, and six terrifying soul rings appeared on the field in purple, purple, black, black, red, and red.

Everyone knows what such a spirit ring represents, but no one understands how such a spirit ring ratio can appear.

However, the atmosphere filled with coldness, cruelty, murder, madness and other horrors appeared in the scene, but it was extremely real.

The seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy on the opposite side had no desire to fight at all. Facing this terrifying momentum, they were trying their best to even stand.

"Fight or surrender?"

Huo Yuhao's cold voice drifted over with his momentum.

The captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He concentrated all his soul power and finally said with difficulty, "Admit... admit defeat."

“Then…” Huo Yuhao retracted his aura, changed his form from Lin Yi back to his own, and looked at the referee, “The result can be announced.”

The referee finally woke up and said, "The match is over. Team Shrek wins."

There was no cheering, not even the slightest movement. Everyone was shocked by Huo Yuhao's spirit ring ratio.

Among all the people, only Lin Yi in the audience showed a satisfied smile.

Moon actually didn't let him take action, which made Lin Yi very sad. He had been waiting to show off his prowess in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

However, as long as one's thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems. Lin Yi cannot take action, but he can let Huo Yuhao imitate his appearance.

Anyway, the final result will be remembered firmly, and the process in between can be ignored.

With this match, one of Lin Yi's purposes for coming to this competition has been fulfilled...
