Chapter 194 The competition begins (page 12)
When they arrived at the third-floor lounge arranged by the organizer for everyone from the Lingqi Sect, other colleges and sects on the same floor all looked at them in twos and threes.
A few people took one look and then looked away, so Huo Yuhao could be sure that people from these colleges or sects were often active in Mingdu. The Sun and Moon Empire had heard to some extent that there was a young genius Huo Yuhao in Mingdu who had never been seen in ten thousand years, but they had only heard of it; but to be able to recognize Huo Yuhao at a glance, one would have to be in Mingdu, or even Chang and Sunyue. Only those who deal with the Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Huo Yuhao silently recorded the rooms to which these people returned. If something unexpected happens, these people are the ones who can most likely stand on their side.
The other people who were looking at it naturally didn't understand how this little-known sect could be placed on the third floor. You know, even the level of Xingluo Royal Academy is only on the second level.
"Don't worry about them," Huo Yuhao said without looking back. "Everyone get your room cards and go to rest first. I'll go to the top floor to exchange information with Brother Xiao."
Everyone nodded to him, Huo Yuhao nodded in return, and then continued to turn and step onto the next step. Of course there is an elevator in the Mingyue Hotel, but Huo Yuhao just went up the stairs in a fair manner, and then went up to the top floor while Princess Xingluo on the second floor looked livid for a long time.
The joints of his index and middle fingers were slightly bent, and he knocked on the door of the conference room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy representative team: "I'm looking for Brother Xiao, Xiao Hongchen."
After a while, the door opened a gap just for one person to come in. When Meng Hongchen opened the door, she looked sneaky. She even checked to see if there was anyone at the door, and then she called Huo Yuhao to come in quickly.
"What?" Huo Yuhao subconsciously lowered his voice because of her actions, and slipped into their conference room silently like a cat.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Hongchen lying on the table with an unusual melancholy expression. The other main candidates also sat in their respective positions with complicated expressions, while Yu Rufeng and Wang Yan were discussing tactics on the other side.
Behind her, Meng Hongchen closed the door softly and poked her brother's arm: "Get up! Yuhao is here."
"Oh!" Xiao Hongchen seemed to have recovered from what happened. He jumped up from the table and sat up straight, looking at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, I have some information to tell you."
"Then you say it first."
Xiao Hongchen stretched out an arm and pulled Huo Yuhao into the seat next to him. Then he leaned over and said, "Besides us, who else is on the top team?"
"I really couldn't have guessed this." Huo Yuhao said, "Brother Xiaoxiao, don't be too pretentious."
"Holy Spirit Sect! That's what they call themselves."
Huo Yuhao blinked and motioned for Xiao Hongchen to continue.
"Why not just call it Holy Spirit Cult?" Xiao Hongchen pinched a strand of hair beside his ear and said in an uneasy tone, "It seems they know that the name Holy Spirit Cult has been exposed. But, if that's the case, just don't participate in this competition. , but they just changed one word and came to the arena in a disguised manner."
"I've been thinking about the reason why sects are allowed to sign up." Huo Yuhao immediately took over, "Whether it looks good or not is actually not that important. For this kind of competition, the bulk of the income is not from the audience, but should be in the underground casino. .At this point, other than paving the way for Holy Spirit Sect, I don’t think of any other reason.”
Xiao Hongchen sighed loudly, as if he was afraid that everyone in the room wouldn't hear him. Huo Yuhao slapped him on the shoulder: "I told you not to ask riddles! Is there anything else you want to say?"
The latter covered his beaten shoulder and raised his head, but his tone was very serious: "This competition prohibits any form of opening. There are troops patrolling and inspecting the underground market, and there will be no mistakes."
"Even this is gone?" Huo Yuhao felt his temples jump. "Then this competition, we can't just pave the way for those guys from beginning to end, right?"
Xiao Hongchen didn't answer, but slapped the token Huo Yuhao asked for in front of him. However, Huo Yuhao was sure that he had got the answer.
……
A few days later, Mingdu, on the outskirts of the Eastern District.
The newly built huge square is crowded with people and bustling with people. On both sides of the street, although people were restricted to thirty meters away, many people still gathered. Everyone was looking forward to it, and they were standing on tiptoe to see the participating teams coming out of the Mingyue Hotel.
Guarded by the strict formation of the soldiers, teams entered the field in an orderly manner. In this competition, a total of 167 teams participated, with nearly 2,000 people.
Therefore, there are at least more than 30,000 soldiers here to maintain order, dividing the larger crowd of spectators into effectively manageable areas, and isolating them from the competition venue.
On the north side of the competition venue, there is a high platform, which is all made of metal splicing. The lines are strong yet harmonious, fully demonstrating the art of machinery. This high platform seems to be able to accommodate a thousand people, and the central square used for competitions is still empty at this moment. The surface of the entire platform has a layer of silver-white metallic luster, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, without any seams in the middle, showing Create an inclusive atmosphere.
Moreover, just from the light curtain close to the competition stage, you can see the difference from the previous competition. In this case, at least there will be no situation where you can win by knocking your opponent off the ring. You must completely defeat your opponent.
In other words - although the rules say that actively killing the opponent's players is not allowed, in order to achieve the final victory in the arena, some accidents are allowed without being judged as "malicious"...
This is a game whose purpose is decidedly impure.
In addition to the competition stage, extending outward from the competition stage, every hundred meters, there is a circle of huge soul guidance screens that are lightly held in the air by long strips of metal. Each screen is large enough for those in the back row facing it to see clearly what is happening on the field. This level of soul guidance device technology is currently only achieved by the Sun and Moon Empire, and this is just a small display of the Sun and Moon Empire's technology, which they don't bother to hide.
There are more than a hundred such screens around the competition stage.
Because there were so many people, the sky had just turned white when Huo Yuhao and others got up and set out. By the time they entered the venue, the morning light had already shined brightly. The sunlight fell from the east, adding a little warmth to the autumn day.
Huo Yuhao didn't care much about most of the team, including Shrek. If Dai Huabin doesn't come, he won't be very interested in Shrek, and Zhu Lu is just a small episode, without much significance. What he cares more about is the team that enters the venue last.
The person at the front of that team was none other than Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng was followed by a team, all dressed in black and wearing hats, with black gauze hanging down, covering their faces. Among all the participating teams, they were the first to conceal their appearance in this way.
Following Zhang Peng was a woman with a well-proportioned figure. There seemed to be a strange aura about her that could attract even the surrounding light. Huo Yuhao stretched out his mental detection towards her, but he never thought that once his mental power came within a foot of her body, it would be immediately distorted.
Be careful in everything... Huo Yuhao stopped the detection without any hesitation. He would never do anything that might bring risks to a team just because of an accident. Collecting intelligence is not the only way to go through mental detection.
