Chapter 151 Xiao Hongchen: I must give him a good beating! "Meng, is what brother said right?" Xiao Hongchen glanced proudly at his sister beside him. She was a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with smooth and flowing silver hair and bright red eyes, as dazzling as rubies. But then, Xiao Hongchen frowned: "Meng? I'm talking to you, why are you daydreaming?" Meng Hongchen's blurred eyes slowly regained their focus, and he glanced at his brother sideways, saying unhappily: "Brother, can you please stop being so cocky all the time? It's stupid, you know?" "Moreover," Meng Hongchen's eyes suddenly sparkled with stars, "If we talk about peerless geniuses, he is the only peerless genius." Xiao Hongchen's face darkened: "Is it the guy who went to the Far North alone and happened to save you?" "Meng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've been talking about him every day for the past few months. He's about the same age as us, but he went into the mixed zone of the Far North alone, and even scared away the ten thousand year old soul beast with just his aura." "Sometimes, I really wonder if you are hallucinating. To be able to scare away a ten-thousand-year soul beast with just your aura, you must be at least a Soul Emperor, right?" Xiao Hongchen was full of disbelief: "How could there be someone in the world who is more talented than me and has cultivated to the level of Soul Emperor at that age?"
Meng Hongchen glared at him in dissatisfaction: "I think you are just jealous of him. I even ate hot pot and drank with him. How could it be an illusion?" Speaking of this, Xiao Hongchen's face twitched and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's obviously my wine! Don't let me see him, or I will definitely give him a good beating." "Let him know that you can't just drink anyone's wine! And you can't just pick up anyone's girl!" Meng Hongchen said, "Tsk, are you worthy of being compared with him?" Xiao Hongchen was immediately furious: "I, Xiao Hongchen, have extraordinary talent, unparalleled in the world." The veins on the forehead of the old man sitting at the head jumped when he heard this. He interrupted Xiao Hongchen with an angry shout: "Enough! Xiao Hongchen, shut up! This is a pre-match meeting, not a place for you two siblings to quarrel!" Seeing the old man angry, Meng Hongchen stuck out her tongue. Xiao Hongchen glared at her and stopped talking. The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight hit Xingluo City, this behemoth seemed to wake up instantly. At this time, the main roads in the city were already bustling with people. All the streets around Xingluo Plaza were blocked by soldiers in distinctive armor, especially the area near Xinghuang Hotel, which was heavily guarded. The streets leading from here to Xingluo Square have been completely under martial law, and only the team members from each academy who walked out of the Star Emperor Hotel can pass. The competition stage for this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is located in front of the main gate of the Imperial City. The entire competition stage is one hundred meters long and wide, and five meters high. There are a total of 108 metal pillars around the competition stage. These are not decorations, but actual protective soul guides. When the competition begins, one hundred and eight spirit masters will be in charge of protecting the competition stage. These metal pillars will form a protective shield to prevent all the spirit skills inside from leaking out, so as to avoid damaging the imperial city or hurting innocent people. At the same time, it also allows the participating players to give their all without any worries. The construction of this competition stage alone cost a huge amount of money, and mobilizing 108 soul masters to serve the competition for more than a month would be difficult to do without national-level power. But hosting such a competition also has immeasurable benefits for the economic development of the entire country. Not to mention that the competition would drive explosive economic growth in various industries, the ticket sales alone would be enough to recover the investment, and there would also be a large amount of money coming in to fill the national treasury. At this time, Xingluo Square was empty. Except for the soldiers in the distance, there was no one in the square, only iron bars. These iron fences, which are about meters high, will not affect the sight of most people and divide the square into different areas.
There are different entrances and exits for the audience to enter or leave. This will make it much easier for soldiers to maintain order, and there will be clear limits on the number of people each area can accommodate. The imperial city is on the north side, facing south, and a luxurious rest area is built on the west side of the competition stage, which is specially provided for the participating teams from each college. However, the rest area could only accommodate about seventy colleges, and there were obviously no seats prepared for the colleges that were eliminated in the first round. According to the official statement of Xingluo, this arrangement is to inspire the fighting spirit of the participating students. If they win, they will stay, and if they lose, they will leave. One battle will decide life and death! Since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was changed to the current competition system, apart from the final stage of the competition, the most exciting part is actually the first round of eliminations, which is so exciting that it can even be described as brutal. Because the round-robin tournament can also include tactical arrangements, and even tactical surrender. But this first round is a direct elimination match. The loser must leave. Any participating academy must pass this level, even the previous champion Shrek. There are byes in the competition through lottery, but no college can directly enjoy the privilege of a bye. Early in the morning, the team leaders from each academy had already arrived at the Imperial City and drew lots based on the competition number plates they received when they registered. At this time, the drawing ceremony had already ended, and officials from the Xing Luo Empire had counted the results of the drawing. Once the competition order is announced, the final preparations will be completed. On the top of the imperial city, facing the warm red morning sun, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown on his head stood with his hands behind his back, smiling. Beside him was a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace clothes, accompanying him respectfully and gently. A few steps behind were the civil and military officials of the Xing Luo Empire. "Your Majesty." An old man wearing bright red civil servant clothes quickly stepped forward, came to the man's side and saluted respectfully. "Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?" His Majesty the Emperor asked with a smile. The Prime Minister said respectfully: "Everything has been arranged and the surrounding area is in order. People can be allowed in." Emperor Xing Luo smiled and nodded: "Okay, pass on my order, all checkpoints start releasing people, control the speed, maintain order, whoever is in charge of the place where there is a problem will be severely punished." "Yes, Your Majesty." The Prime Minister took a few steps back before turning around. Watching the Prime Minister leave, Emperor Xingluo turned his attention to the tall man standing half a step behind him. Looking at this burly tough guy wearing full body armor and the grief in his eyes, the Xingluo Emperor sighed softly: "My dear brother, no one can predict accidents. The unfortunate death of Yaoheng is indeed a great loss to our Xingluo Empire." "But fortunately, we still have Hua Bin. With his talent, he will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility in the future. You are the pillar of Xingluo, so you must take care of yourself!"
