Chapter 109: First Qualifying Game, Tiandou Royal Team
"Now, please welcome His Majesty of the Tiandou Empire... Emperor Xue Ye to announce the opening of this competition!"
After the formalities, it was time for the routine segment again, with the boring leader’s speech.
Just as Qin Tian guessed, the old man sitting in the middle slowly stood up amid applause.
He raised his right hand and waved to the audience and the participating soul masters below. The huge square immediately became quiet.
"I, on behalf of the Tiandou Empire and the organizers of this competition, officially announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition will begin now!"
The deep yet resonant voice spread throughout the venue through the soul-amplifying device, sparking cheers and shouts.
As we all know, after the principal has finished speaking, a secretary might appear out of nowhere to join in the fun.
"Next, please invite the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Mr. Ning Fengzhi, to give a speech for this competition!"
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and began his performance: "I'm very happy to be invited..."
"Qin Tian, look, it's Dad!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, she grabbed her husband's hand and shouted happily.
"Give me a kiss, my dear wife, and say hello to our dad~"
Qin Tian leaned his face closer to Ning Rongrong and said with a wicked smile.
"No, there are so many people watching, I feel embarrassed~"
Under normal circumstances, the girl might have gone straight to A. Although their team's position was relatively remote, in such a serious and grand occasion, even a young lady would be shy.
"Tsk tsk tsk, such a good opportunity to declare sovereignty, you don't want it? Then I'll ask Xiao Wu and Yan'er~"
Qin Tian shook his head and turned around to look for the girl behind him.
"Huh? No!"
Ning Rongrong became anxious when she heard this.
"Then will you kiss me?"
"Bad guy, mua!"
The girl puffed up her cheeks and kissed Qin Tian on the face angrily.
"Hahaha, my little wife is so obedient~"
Qin Tian was famous for his thick skin. He hugged Ning Rongrong and kissed her on the little face.
Rongrong felt shy and happy at the same time. She buried her head in Qin Tian's arms and punched him with her two little pink fists like a spoiled child.
At the same time, Qin Tian obviously noticed that his father-in-law's originally fluent speech suddenly became a little stuck, as if he suddenly discovered something incredible.
"Master Ning, you are the most powerful auxiliary spirit master. On behalf of the audience, I would like to ask you, which team do you think is more promising in this Tiandou competition?"
After the father-in-law finished his speech, the host started to find new topics to liven up the atmosphere.
"In addition to the number one seed of Tiandou Royal Academy's first team, I am actually optimistic about another team!"
"I believe that they not only have the ability to make it through the preliminaries and into the finals, but are also likely to become the biggest dark horse and win the final crown of this Soul Master Elite Competition!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his tone was calm but his words shocked almost everyone present!
"Oh my god? Which team could be so favored by Sect Master Ning?"
The host was also surprised.
"This team... is the last team to enter, the Goddess Team from Qingtian Academy!"
Logically speaking, at this time Ning Fengzhi only needed to keep the secret and leave everyone in suspense before ending the story. However, he didn't know what stimulated him today and he directly exposed the team. The pressure suddenly increased!
Because of the arrogant slogan before, everyone's attention was instantly focused on Qin Tian and his group.
A thought came to everyone's mind. Could it be that this team, with both strength and good looks, really has the confidence to be so arrogant? "My dear wife, your father is too stingy. He puts pressure on me so quickly?"
Qin Tian touched his chin and sighed.
"Humph, who told you to bully me just now?"
Ning Rongrong raised her chin, and the eldest lady's smug attitude appeared again.
"Qingtian Academy Goddess Team, let's look forward to what kind of surprises they will bring us?"
"Now, please invite Lord Platinum Bishop Sarath, the master of the Spirit Temple of Tiandou City, to draw the lots for the first round of the preliminaries!"
(Note: The Spirit Temple is usually built in the capitals of the two empires, and its status is inferior to that of the Elders' Hall, the Pope's Hall, and the Worship Hall.)
As soon as he finished speaking, Platinum Bishop Salas stood up, walked to the host under the guidance of the court maid, and began to draw lots.
I don't know if the old man was mute or just putting on airs and refusing to speak. He faced thousands of audiences without saying hello and left the selection of teams to the host to announce.
"In the first round of the preliminaries, Canghui Academy vs. Heizi Academy."
……
"Tiandou Royal Academy - Deputy Team vs. Qingtian Academy!"
Qin Tian and others did not pay much attention to the draw of other colleges, but when they heard that their first-round opponents were the second team of Tiandouhuang College, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little strange.
Except for the little maid Meng Yiran, the other six people have close ties with Tiandou Royal Academy.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Dugu Yan didn't expect that her first battle after transferring to another school would be to challenge her alma mater...
Qin Tian initially thought he had run into a punk, but later he realized that he had sneaked into Tiandou Royal Academy's number one seed team and made it straight to the finals.
Speaking of this, one can't help but complain. The corruption within the Tiandou Royal Family is too serious. They are obviously the number one seed representing the country, but they can't find any outstanding students, so they have to let Tang San and those trash take over.
But it’s not a big problem. What if we advance directly to the finals?
When the time comes, we will take turns and trample him home. As for now, I will try my hand on your second team!
"Okay, according to the draw results, from the back to the front, the vice-teams of Qingtian Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy will take the lead in the first round of the preliminaries!"
"All participating colleges please leave the venue. The competition will officially begin in half an hour!"
Following the host's announcement, dozens of soul master teams left the venue in an orderly manner.
With such a schedule, the most attractive thing for the audience is of course the battle between the popular Qingtian Academy and Tiandou Royal Team II.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but the organizer seemed to understand and put it in the first place.
"Qin Tian, how are we going to play the first game later? Are there any tactics or something?"
Back in the rest area, the girls were still very concerned about the first battle.
"Well... let's listen to what the master has to say first."
Qin Tian immediately threw the question to Liu Erlong.
"According to my investigation, the overall strength of the Tiandou Royal Academy Second Team is far inferior to yours, so you can play this game however you want!"
Because Qin Tian swallowed the ten immortal herbs, his soul power and life affinity increased significantly!
He is now like a mobile medicinal spring, attracting soul power and vitality from the surrounding area wherever he goes.
Not only did it promote his own cultivation, but it also accelerated the take-off of all the girls!
Therefore, the young woman is not worried at all about the goddess team whose average soul power level has exceeded level 40, not to mention that there is a young man in charge.
"Did everyone hear that? Eat and drink, it's up to you guys later!"
Qin Tian sat on the sofa, not avoiding the girls, and in front of them he hugged Zhu Zhuqing, the most introverted and attention-seeking little wild cat, into his arms and said with a smile.
