"Where is he?! Is he deliberately hiding from me?!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were glued to the big screen, constantly checking for Emperor Xueye, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. She couldn't spot her dad, Ning Fengzhi, anywhere.
"Who is that girl? Why is she standing next to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo?"
Tang San had sharp eyes, spotting the twin-tailed loli quickly.
Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes and strode forward a few steps, carefully observing the girl.
Her features felt somewhat familiar...
In the video, the little loli squatting down playing with mud seemed to feel some intense gaze, her hands stiffening a bit as she played.
What to do, what to do, what to do...
Right then, Gu Rong suddenly bent down, hoisting her up, and grumbled as he walked to the side, "Whose little brat is this? Go play elsewhere! Don't loiter here with disdain!"
Chen Xin watched Gu Rong's back in a daze, scratched his head, and mumbled embarrassedly to himself:
"Really, Sect Master, how could you oversleep on such an important day? But he really was quite tired yesterday, so I won't go wake him..."
The host from Heaven Dou stood there dazed for a few seconds, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Well then, could Sword Douluo honorably step in to say a few words on behalf of Sect Master Ning?"
Sword Douluo pointed at himself in surprise, then gestured with both hands, "No, no need..."
"Just a few words, say a few words..."
"Alright then."
With no other choice, Sword Douluo had to talk a bit in front of everyone.
After he finished, the Xingluo's formal speech also officially began.
When the big screen zoomed in on Dai Ben, Heaven Dou's Dai Mubai looked up, and father and son locked gazes across the distance; while Xingluo's Davis felt the most conflicted.
He had a reward but was indecisive about whether to use it or not, a reward named Bloodline Sacrifice Cleaver.
If he were to use it, the best time would be at the start of the advancement match, on the day when all the advancing teams were heading to Soul City.
Dai Ben, "....People of Xingluo, I am participating in this competition as a special invited member of the Xingluo Imperial Academy, and the other six special invited members from the Academy are beyond your wildest imaginations."
As he spoke, he turned to look in a direction unknown to the people from Heaven Dou and Xingluo; what Dai Ben was looking at was Lin Yi.
He was using his gaze to ask Lin Yi whether he could reveal a bit about who the special invited members from Xingluo were.
Lin Yi did not respond, just widened the view of the big screen slightly to include Gu Yuena and a few other ferocious beasts.
At this, Dai Ben excitedly shouted, "Everyone! They are the special invited members of Xingluo Imperial Academy for this competition! Consider this a little character preview!
At that moment, audiences from both Xingluo and Heaven Dou became silent.
Their eyes widened in an instant.
The beauty of Gu Yuena was absolutely top-notch!
Next were Wang Qiu'er, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji, these beauties who could also be considered top-tier! Add on the imposing man Di Tian, this instant of the video made everyone fall silent.
Handsome men and beautiful women!
Who are these people? They have never been seen on the continent before, especially the few experienced elders who looked puzzled and unfamiliar.
"Mom, I'm in love again!"
"No way! I don't want to support Martial Soul Hall anymore, this time I'm rooting for Xingluo Imperial Academy!"
"Where did they find these special invited members? How come such beautiful people have never been heard of?!"
"Wuwuwu the silver-haired sister is so pretty, I want to be stepped on..."
"Yeah, she's so pretty, I took a fancy to her at first sight!"
...
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes with a cold expression, "Boring."
Little did she know that the audience, faced with her disdainful look, grew even more excited, with several men blushing: "That's the expression, the disgusted look as if seeing disgusting trash, it excites me!"
Lin Yi: "..."
At that moment, Emperor Xueye, seemingly unwilling to be outdone in this aspect, immediately started banging on his broken bowl, drawing everyone's attention.
Lin Yi collaborated with him, shifting the big screen's view in his direction.
Emperor Xueye was excited as he stood from afar, introducing the Ice and Snow Emperors, "Friends from Tian Dou, why blindly support Martial Soul Hall and the Xingluo Imperial Academy? Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy has beauties as well!"
"These two, Emperors of the Extreme North! I won't say much more, just tell me if they're pretty or not!"
The Snow Emperor awkwardly waved at the crowd, while the Ice Emperor had a dead-fish-eye look, totally indifferent.
Yu Tianheng's eyes sparkled.
Our special guests from the Tian Dou Royal Family??
The audience then shouted excitedly, "White fur! Such a beautiful white-haired lady! So gorgeous!"
"There's even a twin-tailed loli! Loli for the win!"
"How is the white-haired lady holding a little loli?! Is she a mom?! Holy shit! Even more exciting!"
"Sob sob sob, I still support our own country's team, brothers, a beautiful woman with kids scores extra points!"
"To be honest, my heart is already stuck with Xingluo and can't return..."
"Then scram over to Xingluo!"
Tang Hao frowned, "Domains? Do those two women come with their own Domains? Those of the ice and snow type."
Tang Xiao had a serious expression, "Little San's academy is under tremendous pressure, let's see how well our grandfather is doing over at Lin Yi's place."
Tang Hao nodded, "Indeed, grandfather is our only hope now."
Emperor Xueye banged his broken bowl again, shifting the focus to Ju Zi (Orange), "And from ten thousand years in the future, we have a genius Soul Master who combines beauty and intelligence!"
At such a significant event, Ju Zi naturally wore a beautiful princess dress. She shyly smiled, cooperated by tossing a coin-like soul tool. The soul tool quickly transformed mid-air into a fixed soul-guided cannon, which she shouldered, creating a stunning visual effect.
Technology from ten thousand years later???
This scene shocked the audience, many thinking their eyes were deceiving them; could soul tools actually be used like that???
Wait, what does ten thousand years later mean?!
But Emperor Xueye was obviously playing coy, keeping the audience on tenterhooks without explaining too much.
His goal had been achieved.
Thousand Waves looked towards Bi Bidong, hesitating, "Should we also give a brief introduction of our members from Martial Soul Hall?"
Bi Bidong: "No need, we'll show our true strength in the match."
Thousand Waves glanced at the Little Golden Crocodile and also at Third Offeror, who seemed to have caught a cold for some reason, and nodded without saying anything.
At this moment, the hosts from both competition areas were incredibly excited, as if the next segment they were anticipating had arrived.
And that was Lin Yi's speech segment!
This person, who had become somewhat legendary across Soul Land, was finally about to appear.
Everyone knew that those special invited members they had just seen were essentially there because of him at Soul City.
