Chapter 189 Preliminary round, single challenge against soul beast?
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared in the east, the streets of Mingdu presented a strange sight.
A total of 20 Titan mechas were lined up in two rows, starting from the entrance of Mingyue Hotel and extending outward. At a glance, there was no end in sight. The passage they formed was completely under martial law. The public was asked to retreat meters away and not approach.
Compared with the last Xingluo-hosted competition, Mingdu, as the largest city on the continent, can obviously accommodate a larger number of people. But in terms of maintaining order, only 20 Titan mechas are enough.
Under the protection of the Titan mechas' strict formation, the 167 participating teams, with nearly 2,000 people, each deployed their forces and left Mingdu.
However, when they were surrounded by Titan mechas, they all showed fear and terror to varying degrees.
However, when all humans left the hotel, a team followed closely from the air.
Their average length is 10 meters, and they are made up of soul beasts. Those that cannot fly are carried by flying soul beasts. There are 10 of them in total, and their leader is Gu Youyue.
"Awoo..." (Master Auspicious Beast, do we really want to participate in this game between humans?)
Gu Youyue glanced back at the roaring Emerald Bird and smiled calmly, "Bishop Lu gave us soul beasts a chance, so we should seize it. Besides...don't you want to take revenge on those humans? This human game allows killers."
After hearing her words, the Emerald Bird's eyes revealed obvious excitement, and the speed of its wings flapping increased again.
The competition venue is on the outskirts on the east side of Mingdu. You can see it from a distance after leaving the buildings of Mingdu.
This was Lu Xueling's request. After all, not everyone was qualified to enter his Holy Blood Forest City.
At this time, the empty suburbs were already crowded with people. There were at least more than 100 Valkyries in C and B-class armor and 10 Titan mechas maintaining order, dividing the crowd into areas and isolating them from the competition venue.
On the north side of the competition venue, there is a high platform with a huge screen 100 meters long and wide installed on it, which projects everything happening in the venue.
The rest area for players is on the east side of the competition stage and is mainly divided into two areas. Near the competition stage is a canopy that can accommodate about 20 participating teams.
All that was left were some open-air chairs, arranged in rows at the back of both sides of the awning.
As the runner-up, Shrek Academy was resting in a high-end location at that time, but their next door was St. Freya Academy.
The Herrscher of Erosion, the Herrscher of Death, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, as well as the resurrected Lin Xi.
On the rostrum, some spatial ripples flowed. Supported by the three Herrsers Xilin, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena, and Benares and Fengtian Binge, Sun and Moon Bishop Lu Xueling took the stage.
"Long live Bishop Lu!"
The people of the Sun-Moon Empire knelt on the ground collectively. Although he abolished the imperial system, the human customs of this continent that had existed for thousands of years were obviously not so easy to change.
"Okay, okay, everyone stand up." Lu Xueling sat down on the throne and signaled the people to stand up. As for reading the rules and the results of the draw, he left it to Bella.
The competition system chosen by the Sun-Moon Empire this time is an individual battle in the first round, but fortunately it is not a knockout round, it will be tomorrow.
It's very humane to give the players some time to warm up, right? If they can't win again tomorrow, then it would be useless to give them a chance.
"The first match of the first round of the preliminaries, Dragon Slayer Sect vs. Earth Dragon Sect."
"The second match of the first round of the preliminaries, Mingyu Sect vs. Zhengtian Academy."
……
"The seventh match of the first round of the preliminaries, Shrek Academy versus... the Soul Beast Clan."
Thinking of this, Bella couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and Gu Yuena, who was high above, also smiled knowingly.
"What?!"
In the rest area of Shrek Academy, when they heard that they were going to fight soul beasts, everyone was confused, including Xuan Zi.
No, buddy! Are you serious? Are you really going to let the soul beast come and play?!
Not only them, but even the other participating teams were talking about it and were all shocked.
"Are you scared?"
In a rest area reserved for soul beasts, Gu Youyue's nonchalant mocking voice was heard, and the two soul beasts beside her also roared with obvious laughter. Xuanzi couldn't stand this kind of look, and immediately snorted coldly: "Humph, beasts are beasts, don't be too proud!"
"Master Xuan...don't pull the wound." Qian Duoduo kindly reminded.
“I don’t need you…hiss——!!”
It looks like Di Tian hits pretty hard.
Xian Lin'er sat aside, her face full of worry.
This is a personal battle, that is, a one-on-one duel.
When facing soul beasts, humans always hunt them in groups, and only very few will go into the forest to fight alone.
Although this time it was on the ring, the soul beast's cultivation was limited to 20,000 years, and there was no advantage of the venue.
But when it comes to fighting a group of beasts like this alone...which soul master dares to say that he is 100% sure?
"Who's going to play in the first game?"
The Shrek primitive people discussed in a low voice and finally came to the conclusion that He Cai Tou should be the first to go!
Use the soul guide to blast them first!
The first player sent by the soul beast clan was the auspicious emperor beast, Gu Youyue! !
On the left side of the rostrum, Qian Renxue folded her arms and said with a chuckle, "This moment is just like that moment."
A wisp of black mist quietly passed through the sky-blue pupils of the Herrscher of the Thousands. The same was true for Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu on the Shrek side...
When he went on stage, He Caitou tried his best to maintain his momentum and not be overwhelmed by Gu Youyue. His height of more than two meters allowed him to look down on Gu Youyue, but the big guy knew in his heart that the latter was also looking down on him.
"Shrek, and Cai Tou."
"The soul beast clan, Gu Youyue."
After a simple exchange of names, the referee was an A-level Valkyrie. She raised her hand high, and after confirming that both parties were ready, she suddenly lowered her right arm and announced the start of the game.
"Crimson, dress!"
A scarlet light flashed, and the next second Gu Youyue was wearing the deep red fusion suit, holding the big sword tightly, and pounced on it like a predatory beast!
Gu Yuena has become a Herrscher and no longer needs armor. Since Gu Youyue wants to play with it, she gave it to her.
Only a Valkyrie who can control all kinds of armor is worthy of the status of the strongest in the Holy Fate!
"Cai Tou, be careful!" Bei Bei exclaimed in the audience. She didn't expect Gu Youyue to use this kind of battle uniform right from the start.
It seems like she wants to end the battle quickly and play one against many?
dang dang...
Amid the dense metallic explosions, a circular base quickly formed under He Caitou's feet, and his legs were completely covered by the base. This was a movable turret, like a tank.
The experience of being nearly shot in the head by Xiao Xiao in the last session was still vivid in his mind, so he and Cai Tou modified the turret to make it more maneuverable.
After the base was completed, metal pipes of varying thicknesses were seen madly protruding from it. At a glance, there were more than fifty of them.
Boom! !
Time waits for no one. If he chose to accumulate strength, Gu Youyue's sword would probably have been placed on his neck, so he chose to bombard continuously.
"Tsk." The Emperor Beast sneered, and the foot thrusters of the crimson armor were activated. She swung the sword hard, and directly deflected ten beams of light cannon!
"Thunder!" Gu Youyue roared, and bursts of lightning suddenly burst out from the streamlines of the armor and the core of the Honkai energy on his chest. The sword blade was surrounded by arcs of electricity, extending a blade light of more than five meters!
