Chapter 238 It smells so good!
Watching all the participating teams from the various academies arrive, the Master of Ceremonies on the VIP side began to speak into the microphone.
"Next, we invite His Majesty, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, to officially announce the opening of this Soul Master Competition!"
Hmm, a microphone in the Great Spirit Arena felt a bit out of place.
Although the social background of the Douluo Continent was similar to ancient society, high-level venues were no worse than those of later generations, and there were quite a few black technologies. For example, in the current Great Spirit Arena, there were not only microphones but also screens, colored lights, and so on.
Immediately, Emperor Xue Ye stood up amidst a thunderous applause.
"I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, representing the Heaven Dou Empire and also the organizers of this Soul Master Competition, declare the Pan-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition now open!"
Countless applauses rang out again, but Emperor Xue Ye's expression on this joyous day did not seem very happy. After all, Wang Teng was sitting beside him, so he couldn't be happy.
"Here, I hope that all Spirit Masters participating in this competition can fully display their strength and achieve good results.
You are all the pride of the Heaven Dou Empire. For the Radiance of the Empire, show your strength!"
Originally, Emperor Xue Ye wanted to say, "Show your Radiance!" but thinking that Wang Teng was still by his side, and Wang Teng's Titled Douluo name was Radiance, he changed his words at the last minute.
After Emperor Xue Ye gave the participating team members a bowl of soul-stirring chicken soup, thunderous applause rang out again, and amidst the applause, Emperor Xue Ye sat back down.
Then, the Master of Ceremonies picked up the microphone.
"Please welcome one of the Upper Three Sects, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, to deliver a speech for this competition."
As is well known, although Ning Fengzhi was only a Spirit Saint, his support ability was unparalleled throughout the Douluo Continent, and coupled with his identity as the Sect Master of an Upper Three Sect, his status was no worse than that of a Titled Douluo.
No, the current Ning Fengzhi had already become a Spirit Douluo after his Spirit evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Moreover, the current Ning Fengzhi could no longer be considered the strongest support, even if one excluded Wang Teng, a support system Titled Douluo disguised as an attack system Titled Douluo, Li Chan was also a support system Titled Douluo. Her support ability was stronger than Ning Fengzhi, who was a Spirit Douluo.
Without mentioning anything else, just her Ninth Soul Skill, Heavenly Azure Power, which boosts all attributes by 100%, could rival the effect of Ning Fengzhi's full support.
Because Ning Fengzhi was an eight-ring Spirit Douluo, his various Spirit Abilities could fully boost by 90%, and his Sixth Soul Skill, Boost, could further boost a Spirit Master's strongest attribute by 90%.
For example, Ning Fengzhi's support to Chen Xin could boost Chen Xin's attack by 180%, while other aspects were still boosted by 90%.
Aside from attack, Ning Fengzhi's support effect was still inferior to Li Chan's. Moreover, Li Chan had more than just one Ninth Soul Skill, Heavenly Azure Power; her other boosting Spirit Abilities were also very strong.
Ning Fengzhi stood up, a gentle smile on his face, and then slowly said.
"I am very pleased to be invited as a guest for the opening of this competition. As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I have witnessed the growth experiences of too many Spirit Masters.
As the noblest profession on the continent, the development of every Spirit Master must go through numerous trials.
But what I want to say is, a sharp sword is honed through grinding, and plum blossoms emit fragrance from bitter cold. Those participating in this Soul Master Competition are undoubtedly the elites of the younger generation.
As His Majesty just said, I hope you can bring Radiance to the Empire and to your respective academies. The Empire needs talents like you.
Thank you~!"
'Tsk tsk, as expected of a Sect Master, his speaking level is truly high!'
Listening to the chicken soup for the soul poured out by Ning Fengzhi, Wang Teng couldn't help but admire him. Although his strength was much greater than Ning Fengzhi's, his speaking skills were far inferior.
Listening to Ning Fengzhi's words, Emperor Xue Ye on the side also nodded with relief, because Ning Fengzhi was speaking from the Heaven Dou Empire's standpoint, so he was very happy.
"School Master Ning, you are the strongest support system Spirit Master on the continent. Which of the twenty-eight teams participating in the Heaven Dou City preliminary qualifiers do you favor?"
The Master of Ceremonies on the side began to ask.
"You are wrong about that point. I am no longer the strongest support system Spirit Master on the continent. That title has now been taken by Glory Douluo!"
"Oh? Glory Douluo is also a support system Titled Douluo?"
The Master of Ceremonies was very surprised, not expecting that he had said the wrong thing.
Actually, this was also because Wang Teng had not made a move outside; the outside world only knew that Wang Teng was a Titled Douluo but did not know the specific situation.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Wang Teng and found no reaction.
"Let's not discuss this. If you want to know, just ask Glory Douluo.
In this Soul Master Competition, besides the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team, which is a seeded team directly entering the finals, I also favor another team.
I believe this team will definitely shock everyone! But for now, I won't reveal it."
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi sat down directly.
The audience began to discuss heatedly. After all, even Ning Fengzhi said it would shock everyone, so it must be extremely powerful. It was just unknown which academy's team it was.
In the arena, many Spirit Master teams began to size each other up, with only the Oakland Academy team maintaining a slight smile.
They knew clearly that this was Oakland Academy's time to shine. Having a Spirit Emperor-level participant was definitely a huge surprise!
The Master of Ceremonies saw that Ning Fengzhi had already sat down, so it was not good to ask too many questions.
"Since School Master Ning says so, then we are very much looking forward to it, to see how this mysterious team will shock everyone's eyes?!
Also, I think many of the audience members present do not know what kind of power Glory Douluo and Sky City are, so let's interview them!"
"Your Excellency Radiance, School Master Ning said you are the strongest support system Titled Douluo on the continent. Is this true?"
Although there were many people present, Wang Teng was not intimidated and stood up.
"Haha, School Master Ning is being humble, but I am indeed quite skilled in support."
"Then, in your opinion, among the many Spirit Master teams present, is there one that you particularly favor?"
"I won't say that, but since I'm here, I can't come empty-handed.
How about this, I'll give all you geniuses some motivation. If any team's points can rank first in the preliminary round, I will reward that team with these seven Spirit Bones!"
Saying that, Wang Teng took out seven Spirit Bones.
Of course, these seven Spirit Bones, although all were ten thousand years old, were all under fifty thousand years, which was nothing to Wang Teng. But for others, it was a different matter.
As soon as these seven Spirit Bones appeared, the entire Great Spirit Arena instantly fell silent.
However, the silence didn't last long before the entire venue erupted.
Not to mention the audience, all the participating teams present started breathing rapidly.
These were precious Spirit Bones! Usually, even one was hard to come by, let alone seven. They didn't expect the City Lord of Sky City to be so generous.
Everyone in the Great Spirit Arena looked at Wang Teng with burning gazes, wishing they could rush up and snatch those Spirit Bones.
Of course, no one was so foolish as to actually do that; if they did, they would definitely not be able to leave the Great Spirit Arena.
"Goodness, these are seven Spirit Bones! Why didn't I encounter such good fortune back then?"
A Spirit Master who had also participated in the Soul Master Competition back then said sourly.
"Tsk, look at you, over thirty and just entered Spirit King. Even if there was an opportunity, it wouldn't be your turn!"
Someone next to him immediately said.
"So many Spirit Bones, I wish I could just go up and snatch them!"
"Idiot, he's a Titled Douluo, can you even snatch them from him?!"
"What kind of power is this Sky City? Do they have Spirit Bones to spare, like they're free?"
"Yeah, yeah, if Glory Douluo is using so many Spirit Bones as prizes, doesn't that mean the Spirit Bones on him are even better?"
This gentleman spoke his bold idea.
"Hiss~, brother, you're not trying to die like this! You're actually thinking of getting Spirit Bones from a Titled Douluo?!"
Someone next to him gasped, this idea was bold enough!
Who on the continent didn't know that powerful Titled Douluo had Spirit Bones on them? But no one had ever seen anyone try to get them!
The Master of Ceremonies was also shocked by Wang Teng's grand gesture and took a while to react.
"Did you hear that, all you geniuses participating in this Soul Master Competition? Work hard and become first! Seven precious Spirit Bones are waiting for you!"
The Master of Ceremonies' voice was also at its loudest, full of excitement.
"The prizes for this competition are super rich, so next, we invite His Excellency Radiance to conduct the draw for the first round of preliminaries.
After the draw, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team will compete against their first-round drawn opponent, which will also be the only match today."
Wang Teng was a bit surprised. Wasn't Platinum Bishop Salas supposed to do this drawing? How did it fall to him? However, Wang Teng didn't stand on ceremony and was happy to do so.
Walking to the side of the Master of Ceremonies, Wang Teng began to draw lots.
"Preliminary Round One, Purple Star Academy versus Shrek Academy."
"Preliminary Round One, Flame Radiance Academy versus Mars Academy."
"Preliminary Round One, Oakland Academy versus Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Wang Teng secretly scanned with his mental force and discovered the lots for Oakland Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy. A mischievous impulse struck, and he immediately drew the two together.
Not to mention the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team, if it weren't for the main team having a direct qualification and not needing to participate, Wang Teng would have planned to wipe out the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which would be a good way to annoy the old man Xue Ye.
Of course, since the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's main team wasn't participating, that was fine. Today, he would just take care of the second team.
Originally, the sole match today was intended to showcase the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team. Presumably, Emperor Xue Ye would be very happy to see them defeated by Oakland Academy, right?
After all, among Oakland Academy's participants, there was Wang Chong.
After the drawing ended, Wang Teng glanced at the audience and said without changing his expression, "My drawing is absolutely fair. I hope all the participating students present will perform well."
Wang Teng had no intention of recruiting these participating students. After all, the entire Heaven Dou Empire would be his in the future, so there was no need to recruit them in advance now.
Emperor Xue Ye was a bit surprised, thinking that Wang Teng had come today to win over the geniuses of the Heaven Dou Empire! He didn't expect him not to open his mouth to recruit anyone.
Of course, if one were to talk about winning over, Wang Teng's previous promise to reward seven Spirit Bones to the first-place team in the promotion rounds was already a tremendous reward.
He believed that if Wang Teng intended for Sky City to recruit people, probably more than half of the students below would join.
After all, Spirit Bones were simply too tempting!
