Chapter 126: The New Sun and Moon Team

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the largest city in the Star Luo Empire. It is also the political, cultural, and economic center of the Star Luo Empire. It has the title of the imperial capital that will never fall.

The capital's city wall is 30 meters high and meters thick, built entirely of solid rock. The widest main road in the city can accommodate carriages running in both directions at the same time. This is just the outer city.

The city has a permanent population of over 800 million, and with outsiders, the maximum population capacity is as high as 2000 million. But even such a large city has recently become overcrowded.

Almost all hotels in Xingluo City were full, forcing the authorities to requisition some private houses and open some official residences as temporary residences for tourists. The number of soldiers maintaining order in the city also increased significantly.

And there is only one reason. A grand event that occurs every five years, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to be held in Star Luo City!
Not far to the east of Star Luo Plaza, there is a seven-story Star Emperor Hotel, which was specially vacated by the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.It is used to receive contestants from advanced soul master academies or soul master academies in various countries.

There is a pattern on the door of each room, which is the representative school emblem of each college. The most eye-catching one is the shit-green monster head pattern on the outermost one.

Even passers-by couldn't help but stop and take a second look with envy.

Next door, to another more luxurious room, the door features a colorless crystal flower pattern.

There are 10 people sitting upright among them. They are the students representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to compete in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition!

"Ma Rulong, Huo Yuhao, Gu Youyue, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Lin Xi, Chen Fei and Chen An."

Jing Hongchen glanced around, confirmed the list, and nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Xueling stood beside him, seemingly deliberately blocking something, and signaled Jing Hongchen to continue his speech with his eyes.

"Children, the five-year All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will officially begin tomorrow. You are all the absolute elites that I and Deputy Hall Master Lu have carefully selected from among many students! You will represent our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the competition. Fight for honor for the academy!"

"The Soul Fighting Competition is a tradition of the original Douluo Continent. Since our Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Continent bordered each other, we have followed the tradition and participated in this grand event on this continent. But what is regrettable is... we have never won the championship!"

Jing Hongchen paused, and his tone became a little excited: "Shrek! This name that has always weighed on us is the biggest obstacle for my Sun Moon Empire to win the championship! For thousands of years, my Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has never defeated them once... It can be said that we have always been runner-up!"

"Shrek Academy has been able to firmly hold the title of the best academy in the continent for ten thousand years. It must have its outstanding features. I do not deny the strength of Shrek, but our Sun Moon Empire will never lose confidence because of this!"

"I can say without exaggeration that you are the strongest contestants in my Sun Moon Empire in thousands of years! Tell me, do you have the confidence to defeat Shrek?"

Led by Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, everyone shouted in unison: "We will win!"

Defeating Shrek is the dream of every generation of their players. That synonym for strength is also the goal they strive for in the academy!
They have never won in the past 4000 years. This unreachable other side has made them too deeply obsessed with defeating Shrek.

It is the fate that every generation of outstanding people in the Sun and Moon Empire cannot escape! It also carries too many expectations of the Sun and Moon people!
Lu Xueling also chose to speak at this time: "The Lord of Hongchen has already said his words of encouragement, so I won't repeat them. Let's get down to business. Let me introduce you to a contestant whom I specially promoted."

As he said that, he made way and chuckled, "Xiao Xiao, say hello to your teammates."

The petite and cute Xiao Xiao with blue hair and blue eyes took two steps forward and bowed slightly politely: "Hello everyone, I am Xiao Xiao, I am 12 years old, and I am a control-type soul master."

Seeing that Lu Xueling had found a little girl who looked younger than him, the always arrogant Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Deputy Hall Master... May I ask what's so special about this little girl?"

"She has twin martial souls." Lu Xueling just threw this sentence to Xiao Hongchen, then turned and walked out of the room.

At this point, Xiao Hongchen no longer dared to look down on Xiao Xiao. Jing Hongchen also glanced at his eldest grandson with some disappointment: "Sometimes, you should put away your insignificant arrogance, especially in front of Mr. Lu Xueling."

Gu Youyue also gave Xiao Hongchen a blank look and made a "tsk" sound.

"Yes...Grandpa."

Xiao Hongchen realized that he seemed to be targeted, so he quickly tried to change the subject: "Um... the deputy hall master is leaving? He's not staying to watch our game?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen suddenly adjusted the frame of his glasses and whispered, "No, he just went to give it to you..."

“Just moving equipment.”

Before Jing Hongchen finished speaking, Lu Xueling came back in, holding a bunch of things in each hand.

Valkyrie Armor Scarlet, Valkyrie Armor Chariot, seven small iron balls that look like sensors.

And a dark blue... motorcycle!!
Gu Youyue took the scarlet armor and laughed: "I think it will be enough for me to use the golden dragon martial spirit."

Huo Yuhao also added: “There’s no need for equipment that can withstand the Honkai energy, right?”

"What kind of Honkai energy?!"

Jing Hongchen suddenly raised his voice: "This is a soul guide, do you understand? It is a soul guide!!"

"Uh……"

The people present were all smart, and they quickly understood what their Red Dust Hall Master meant...

What follows is simple: the competition rules are explained.

There are a total of 133 advanced soul master academies and advanced soul instructor academies participating in the competition this time.

The first round of the preliminary competition is a knockout round. In other words, the losing team will be eliminated directly! The first round will be a team battle. Seven to seven. The draw will be held tomorrow. The first round will take three days to complete. Then the teams will be divided into groups, with about 9 teams in each group, and they will play a round-robin match.

During the round-robin tournament, a random match system will be adopted. There are three situations in total. The first is a single elimination system, the second is a three-two-two cooperative battle mode, and the third is a seven-on-seven team battle.

After Jing Hongchen finished explaining the rules, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand and asked, "If it is possible...will we run into Shrek Academy directly when we come up here?"

“Ah???” Most of the participating students were shocked by Huo Yuhao’s words.

Only Lu Xueling, who truly understood Xiao Yuhao, twitched his lips slightly and explained, "I don't think so... There is a thing called unspoken rules. In the early stages, the organizers will not arrange for two strong teams to meet directly."

As if thinking of something interesting, Lu Xueling's smile became more intense: "But you can also think about it the other way around. The Sun Moon Empire has always been the runner-up, the runner-up for thousands of years. This time, why not let Shrek also experience what it feels like to be on the other side that can never be reached?"
