Chapter 201 Opening 2
Most of the participating teams were dressed smartly, and although they were wearing their own academy's uniforms, none of them were as high-class as Shrek Academy's uniforms.
But dressed in those beautiful team uniforms of gold, silver, red, and white, adorned with various decorations, patterns, and academy logos, the young Soul Masters strode into the Great Soul Arena like heroes.
He was in a state of heroic spirit, exuding an air of dominance over the world.
Today is the opening ceremony, and also the first day of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Apart from the opening ceremony, there is only one other match.
The second team, the vice-captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, will draw an opponent for the first round of the round-robin tournament, which can be considered a team battle with a show-like element.
Otherwise, a mere opening ceremony would clearly not be enough to satisfy the audience's interest.
This continent-wide elite tournament for advanced soul master academies offers prize money, and it's very straightforward: each victory in the preliminary rounds earns 500 gold soul coins, and advancing to the knockout stage grants an additional 3,000 gold soul coins.
If a team reaches the finals, the Heaven Dou Empire will not only bestow upon them the title of Baron, but also award each participating team member, whether official or substitute, with one thousand gold soul coins. The prize money for the final championship is even more substantial.
None of the members of the Shrek team are short of money, but why wouldn't they take money that's free? Besides, Li Luochen has asked them to play beautifully in this competition!
They were given so many good things, their cultivation level is far higher than other teams, and they still didn't perform well, so let's give them extra training!
Furthermore, the fighting spirit school uniforms were personally ordered and paid for by Li Luochen. After the team members won, they had to return any prize money they received to Li Luochen. Li Luochen, the real miser, truly wouldn't part with a single penny.
As for cultivation resources, Li Luochen didn't ask them for money. After all, cultivation resources were too expensive, so charging them for clothes was enough.
Upon reaching the rest area of the main arena, Shrek Academy encountered an interesting academy: Azure Radiance Academy.
They were the students from Canghui Academy whom they had encountered when they went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings.
They still wore the same moon-white Soul Master robes, with the words "Cang Hui" embroidered inside a blue ring on the shoulder. The difference was that this time their team uniforms were decorated with silver threads, making them look even more dazzling than before.
Of course, all that dazzling stuff is just flashy compared to the school uniform designed by Li Luochen. When it comes to clothing, Shrek Academy's school uniform is definitely more high-end, classy, and sophisticated!
I have to say, Xiao Xianzi has a really good sense of aesthetics.
Unlike the original story, Shrek Academy is now a well-known advanced soul master academy on the continent, comparable to or even surpassing the Four Elements Academy. What is there to fear from the small Canghui Academy?
Canghui Academy didn't provoke Shrek Academy. They are typical bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. Besides, all the teachers from Shrek Academy were there. If they provoked them, wouldn't they be courting death?
Therefore, when they saw Shrek Academy, they immediately gave way. Although they had secret weapons and were not afraid of Shrek Academy, Shrek Academy had several Soul Douluos and a Title Douluo behind them.
They genuinely dared not use that kind of thing on Shrek Academy. What if that Title Douluo, with his bad temper, came to Canghui Academy? They knew what death meant.
They knew their dean's temperament; he would definitely abandon them to save his own life.
"Oh? It's you, Canmeng Shinian." Flander's voice broke the silence.
An elderly man, around sixty years old, approached. He was also dressed in a moon-white Soul Master outfit, but the embroidery on his clothes was gold.
"I didn't expect that old guy would actually go to Canghui Academy. It seems that the quality of Canghui Academy's participants this year is quite good." Flander said casually. Now he could clearly sense Shi Nian's strength, a level 74 Soul Saint.
His mental strength reached the level of a Soul Douluo. At that time, his martial soul was of the mental type, so his mental strength was probably higher.
On the other hand, Shi Nian's mental strength was high enough that he felt a chill when he looked at Flander, as if he were being stared at by an eagle, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Dean, do you know this old man?" Although Ma Hongjun had become You Tianshang's apprentice, he was still very close to Flander, so he asked directly.
"This old guy's name is Shi Nian. His martial soul is very special; it's a unique martial soul that has form but no substance. It can create various illusions, causing people to lose their way within them. With his current strength, he could easily kill an opponent lost in an illusion by harming themselves. We call his martial soul 'Remnant Dream.' This old guy is extremely insidious. Don't be fooled by his calm demeanor; he's actually incredibly vengeful."
You guys better watch out. When I first met him, his soul power was already over level 60; now he's level 74, and his mental power has reached the Soul Douluo level.
When Shi Nian heard Flander reveal his strength, he immediately felt a cold sweat pour down his back. He and Flander were indeed at odds, but he also knew Flander's true strength.
Could it be that Flanders has some kind of opportunity? I should go and ask someone at the academy. The big guy leading the students here should know a lot. He doesn't seem very strong; he's probably an easy target.
The young man next to me has soul power close to that of a Soul Douluo; he must be the team leader. This big guy should be at most a Soul King; I should be able to handle him. I'll capture him and question him later.
"Hmph! Let's go!" Shi Nian called out and led the people from Canghui Academy away.
Li Luochen suddenly grinned. He had just sensed that Shi Nian was probing his background, so he immediately lowered his aura to the Soul King level. Shi Nian had a gem-like head soul bone.
I forgot to pick it up before. This soul bone is very suitable for Ning Rongrong. In this competition, Li Luochen decided to distribute a lot of soul bones, and all the meritorious students will receive soul bones.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar don't need to. They already have quite a few soul bones, and they will definitely have 100,000-year soul rings in the future, so there's no need for soul bones to take up space unless they get better ones.
However, Li Luochen still felt sorry for Shi Nian. Of all the people to choose, he had to pick the most powerful one. Tsk tsk tsk.
"Oh right, don't worry about Shi Nian's abilities. Although Shi Nian's abilities are strange, they are mainly based on mental power. If you have a head soul bone, you can protect yourself from being controlled by him."
Alternatively, if your mental strength is strong enough, you can forcefully break through his illusion, and he will be devoured by his own mental strength. However, currently only Hong Jun has such mental strength.
Those of you who see this will be unlucky, so don't go out alone for the time being. Just stay with your teacher. With your teacher around, Shi Nian won't dare to make a move.
Li Luochen's words were met with nods of agreement from all the students. After all, Li Luochen's reputation was high, and they were completely obedient to him.
Next, they'll enter the competition area. Their first opponent will be... Tian Dou Team Two!
"Well, nothing's changed, is it? So this is how it works too."
"Okay, Senior Qin, you can make the arrangements." Li Luochen directly appointed Qin Ming as the team leader and commander, and he would just listen to his instructions, since Qin Ming's understanding of tactics was better than Li Luochen's.
Li Luochen has always been someone who fights if he's not convinced, and if he can't win, he'll fight from the heart. He knows absolutely nothing about teams.
Qin Ming is the best at this, so we can let Qin Ming take the lead.
"Alright! Yu Tianxin, Dai Mubai, Niu Dun, Yang Wu, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu. You're up there. Remember, finish the fight in one minute."
Those whose names were called by Qin Ming all stood up.
"Yes! ×7"
Oscar & Ma Hongjun: "Shrek will win!"
Everyone: "Shrek will win!"
