Nine poles of Douluo

"You should know better than me?"

"You actually said I've changed?"

Lin Bufan pressed forward step by step, staring at Jiang Nannan closely, and said, "I haven't changed, and no one has changed. This is the way the world is."

Lin Bufan lifted Jiang Nannan's chin and kissed her fiercely.

"Well……"

Jiang Nannan's eyes widened, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, then she slowly closed her eyes and let Lin Bufan kiss her.

After a long time, the two separated.

A glistening thread separated from the corners of their lips.

Lin Bufan hugged Jiang Nannan, and the two sat on the edge of the bed. Neither of them spoke, but remained silent.Invisibly, there was an inexplicable ambiguity between the two.

……

early morning.

When the first ray of sunshine lit up from the sky, rows of figures in silver armor appeared on both sides of the street outside the Mingyue Hotel. The soldiers of the Sun and Moon Empire wore armor. Starting from the outside of the Mingyue Hotel, A long queue formed automatically along both sides of the street, and the entire place was under martial law. People were asked to retreat 30 meters away and not to get closer.

Compared with the previous host, the Xingluo Empire, Mingdu, as the largest city in the mainland, can accommodate a larger population. It is inevitable that the Sun and Moon Empire will mobilize more troops to maintain order. This row alone cannot be seen The human wall at the end was composed of more than 2 soldiers. There was an invisibly chilling atmosphere on the street.

The participating teams from sects and colleges from various countries who stayed at the Mingyue Hotel all went out to the competition site.

Lin Bufan also left the Mingyue Hotel with the Holy Spirit Cult team early in the morning and headed for the competition venue.

The Holy Spirit Team only has regular members and no reserve members, because they don't need them at all. In addition to the seven people headed by Lin Bufan, Scorpion Tiger Douluo also came as the leading teacher of the Holy Spirit Team.

Under the leadership of Scorpion Tiger Douluo, the seven members of the Holy Spirit Team walked towards the venue of the competition. On the street, people from other participating colleges also walked out of the hotel one by one. Under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they rushed to the venue of the competition. Place. 160 Seven participating teams, with nearly 2000 people, spread out in Mingdu in a mighty manner.

The location of the competition is in the suburbs on the east side of Mingdu. It is wide enough to accommodate a large number of players from participating colleges and spectators watching the competition.

After leaving Mingdu, we could see the competition venue from a distance.

At this time, the usually empty suburbs were already crowded with people.There are at least more than [-] soldiers here to maintain order.Divide the crowd into areas.And isolated from the playing field.On the north side of the competition venue, there is a high platform, all made of metal splicing.It looks like it can accommodate a thousand people.

And the competition venue looked even more impressive.The competition platform is ten meters high and more than a hundred meters in diameter.Visual estimation is about 120 meters.The wide platform itself exudes a silver-white metallic luster and looks like it is made of metal.Even if it is just a layer of metal plates, it is still a huge project, not to mention that the entire platform does not seem to have any seams.

What is even more strange is that there is a circle of grooves around the playing field, and in the grooves, a transparent and slightly yellowish light curtain rises high into the sky.Looking up into the sky, I can't see the end.How much soul power is needed to support this! Moreover, judging from the light curtain close to the competition stage, at least there will not be a situation like the last competition where the opponent is defeated and falls to the ring. It must be Only by completely defeating the opponent.

In the mid-air around the competition arena, floating screens stand one after another. Each of these screens is about 20 meters in size. They can broadcast the scene on the competition arena at any time, ensuring that the audience can clearly watch every game. Condition.

And only the Sun and Moon Empire, which has deep pockets and extremely high level of soul guidance technology, can achieve this level.

The players' rest area is on the east side of the competition area. Lin Bufan and other members of the Holy Spirit Team, wearing black costumes and black cloaks, followed Scorpion Tiger Fighter Zhang Peng to the rest area of ​​the Holy Spirit Team.

The rest area arranged by the Sun and Moon Empire for players is divided into pergolas and open-air seats, with distinct levels.

The pergola is prepared for the famous large sects and clans, while the open-air seats are prepared for the small sects and colleges that are not famous.

Although it was the first time for the Holy Spirit Team to leave the station, they were assigned to the pergola area because of their special relationship with the Sun and Moon Empire.

Students from other colleges and sects' participating teams also entered their respective areas one by one according to the divisions arranged by the Sun and Moon Empire.

During this period, Lin Bufan saw Huo Yuhao, Beibei and others from the Tang Sect. They were resting in the open-air seats, but he believed they would be able to reach the pergola soon.

However, what surprised Lin Bufan the most was that he actually saw a familiar figure in Shrek's team. That figure was none other than Wang Dong'er, also known as Tang Wutong. After taking in the breath, I noticed something different.

"Wang Qiu'er! Why is she here and joining Shrek Academy!" Lin Bufan was slightly startled. He knew Wang Qiu'er's identity very well. She is the emperor's auspicious beast of the Star Forest, a unique existence in the world. With the fate of the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Forest, why did Ditian allow her to leave the Star Dou Forest?

And the most important thing is that he and Wang Qiu'er exchanged memories with each other in the Star Dou Forest. In other words, Wang Qiu'er knew all the plot directions about Peerless Tang Clan, so why did she still follow the original plot direction? In human form, he joined Shrek Academy, and even played on behalf of Shrek Academy?

Lin Bufan was puzzled. Maybe he should find time to ask.Wang Qiuer shouldn't be so reckless, maybe she has other motives.

"What's wrong?" Snow Emperor, who was following Lin Bufan, noticed something strange about Lin Bufan, looked at him suspiciously, and asked.

Lin Bufan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just saw an acquaintance. She shouldn't have appeared here."

"Yes." Snow Emperor nodded and did not continue to ask further.

Just after all the colleges were seated, a group of special soldiers in golden uniforms suddenly appeared in the direction of Mingdu.

These soldiers were probably around 30 years old. They were introverted, strong in energy and blood, and exuded faint fluctuations in soul power. It was obvious that they were a team of soldiers who were all soul masters.

"Royal Soul Engineer Group."

Lin Bufan looked at the people who came, and immediately knew their identities, and he was not too surprised. If it was not what he expected, the people who appeared soon should be the current crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, and Orange. .

The current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire is old and has been bedridden for many years. It is impossible for him to appear here, and his body cannot support him coming here.

As expected by Lin Bufan, another group of soldiers appeared behind this group of soldiers. They were also members of the Royal Soul Engineer Group. They surrounded a dragon chariot in the middle and escorted the Chairman to the north. in front of the stage.

This team of chariots and horses is entirely golden. At the front is a dragon chariot that is pulled by 32 horn-scaled horses and looks like a small palace.Behind them were guards and a large number of Sun and Moon Empire officials in gorgeous clothes and official uniforms.

The dragon chariot stopped in front of the rostrum, and the two maids standing on it lifted the curtain embroidered with anemones.Immediately afterwards, a wheelchair was pushed out.Sitting on it was a handsome young man.

Lin Bufan looked at the young man who came down from above without any surprise. Soon, following the young man down, there was a beautiful woman in palace clothes.

"Meet the regent, meet the regent." Except for the people from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group who were on guard, all the other officials in the Sun and Moon Empire knelt down and saluted Xu Tianran and Juzi.

"Meet the regent and the regent." After seeing the officials kneeling, the people of the Sun and Moon Empire who were watching around also knelt down and saluted.

"Meet the Regent, Princess Regent."

In the rest area where the players competed, teams from participating colleges and sects from various countries bowed and saluted to show respect for the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.

On the rostrum, Regent Xu Tianran and Regent Princess Tangerine smiled and looked at the saluting officials and common people below, as well as the participating students from other countries.

After saluting, Orange pushed Xu Tianran, who was sitting in a wheelchair, to the center of the podium.

Xu Tianran nodded to Orange, who also glanced at Xu Tianran, and then came to the amplified soul guide that had been prepared in front of the podium.

"quiet."

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded, and strong pressure swept the entire place in an instant.The moment this sound appeared, everyone felt that their vision went dark, and there was a feeling of dark clouds looming over their heads.Everyone's breathing became rapid, and the voices of discussion disappeared.

The entire playing field suddenly became audible and silent.

What kind of strength is required to achieve this level!It silenced hundreds of thousands of people instantly.

People from various colleges and sects present could not help but change their expressions. Of course, the ones with more solemn expressions were the royal families of the three empires of Laixingluo, Tianhun and Douling.

Just this low voice completely surprised them. When did the Sun and Moon Empire have such a powerful soul master?

In their impression, the Sun-Moon Empire's focus has always been towards soul masters. Now it seems that they were wrong or underestimated the Sun-Moon Empire. They did not expect that they also have such a strong strength in soul masters.

Immediately, the thoughts in my mind were secretly thinking that when I go back today, I will immediately spread the news back to the country to make complete preparations.

On the rostrum, Xu Tianran looked at the momentarily quiet scene below, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. If nothing unexpected happened to him, some of these people would take action soon.

A cold look flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes, he would not let those people go away smoothly.Everyone who comes here must stay.

The crazy idea that had already taken shape in Xu Tianran's mind started to turn completely.

……

Orange cleared her throat, holding the amplifying soul guide in her hand, and the beautiful voice spread throughout the audience through the soul guide.

"People of the Sun Moon Empire and guests from afar. Here, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I welcome you. At the same time, on behalf of the Regent, I announce that the Continental Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition is now starting. "

A very simple opening statement, without redundant nonsense and high-sounding official articles.This is Xu Tianran's style.Everything speaks with strength, in his opinion, talking nonsense can only be a waste of time.

"Let the game begin, all my dear friends, please take your seats." Xu Tianran said calmly with a gesture of his hand.

Hearing Xu Tianran say that they can take their seats, the civil and military officials of the Sun and Moon Empire began to take their seats. Everyone came from their respective seats, and the identity plates of these civil and military officials were placed on them. The order of these seats was They are arranged according to their status, but they cannot sit around.

After the officials took their seats, a loud voice immediately stood up and began to read out the rules of this competition.The rules read out and the instructions received by each team were exactly the same.

After the rules of the game were read out, the first game of the day started immediately.

"The first match of the knockout round in the preliminaries is between the Royal Soul Engineering Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire and the Dragon Slayer Sect. Players from both sides are invited to enter the waiting area."

Soon, the players from both sides came on the stage. On the side of the Sun and Moon Empire, the two brothers Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were at the front, followed by five young people they had never seen before.Then entered the waiting area.

The Dragon Slayer Sect entered the field with seven young people. These seven young people looked full of confidence and were not frustrated at all because their opponent was the runner-up of the previous competition.

"The referee enters the room and invites the No. 1 player from both sides to participate in the individual knockout round." On the rostrum, the old man in charge of presiding shouted loudly.

The referee was an old man in his 50s. Without releasing his martial soul, he could not see the slightest bit of soul power cultivation.

On the side of the Royal Soul Engineers of the Sun and Moon Empire, the first person to appear was Xiao Hongchen, who was at the front and was also the captain of the Royal Soul Engineer Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire.

On the side of the Dragon Slayer Sect, a tall and strong young man appeared.

The young man looked at the thin Xiao Hongchen with disdain on his face and said, "You'd better admit defeat on your own in a while, otherwise it won't look good if I beat you down later."

The young man is called Tieniu, and the sect he comes from is called the Dragon Slayer Sect. However, Dou Ling Empire is an ancient sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It has a long internal inheritance and strong strength, and he is naturally full of confidence.

In his opinion, he couldn't help but hit the thin soul master in front of him who was not as strong as him. Moreover, the opponent was also a soul master, which was synonymous with physical weakness.
