Chapter 428 Shock
"No, you think too much!" Wang Dong is not like her biological mother who cannot recognize the reality. She has to admit defeat when it is time. She has figured it out in the past few days. She is able to survive only because the God of Destruction still remembers their old friendship, but her unborn brother does not have such treatment.
This is a political struggle. If the God of Destruction loses, her fake biological father will definitely not leave anyone alive. He may even throw the God of Destruction's child to her uncles as a gift or reward. Her elders are used to humiliating others, even the descendants of their old friends.
For example, Bei Bei was almost forced to castrate herself by the Nine-Colored Goddess.
And her uncle once said, "Women are not counted as population but as resources." Although he has been sanctioned, Dai Mubai still thinks so in her heart.
Wang Dong could feel that the dragon claw that was hovering behind her neck had been retracted, but he still couldn't help shivering. Soul masters with light-attributed martial spirits are particularly sensitive to the aura of darkness. Even Bei Bei frowned uncomfortably. He already knew who it was.
I have fought the Beast God several times and am still alive. Now I think I am really lucky!
Fortunately, the opening speech by the Regent Princess of the Sun-Moon Empire distracted their attention, and her beautiful voice was transmitted through the amplifying soul guide.
"Every citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire and guests who have come from afar, here, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I welcome you. At the same time, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I announce: The Continental Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition will now begin. "
It was a very simple opening statement, without any unnecessary nonsense or high-sounding official rhetoric.
"Good!" Long Xiaoyao took the lead in applauding. He liked people who spoke their mind.
The people of the Sun-Moon Empire knelt on the ground collectively, paying homage to the regent who, although sitting in a wheelchair, would soon ascend the throne and become the new generation of emperor.
The contestants from the Sun-Moon Empire also stood up and saluted, while the contestants from the original Three Douluo Kingdoms remained seated, not giving the organizers any face like they did in the previous competition.
The atmosphere off the field was tense. The contestants from the Sun and Moon Empire believed that the regent's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion. Why didn't these foreigners salute the regent? When they went to other countries to compete, they saluted the emperor in a proper manner!
"He hasn't ascended the throne yet, has he?" Long Xiaoyao sat motionless, even crossing his legs. "Of course, we won't worship him even after he ascends the throne."
With just a few words, Long Xiaoyao offended all the citizens of the Sun-Moon Empire. The people did not necessarily know who he was, so they did not tolerate him. More and more people denounced him, and even contestants from the Sun-Moon Empire joined in.
Even Xu Tianran was attracted by the noise below. Hearing the people denouncing Long Xiaoyao for him, he couldn't help but feel proud of his lofty image in the eyes of the people. This was proof that he was popular as the crown prince or regent!
The unpleasantness caused by the original Douluo Three Kingdoms contestants' failure to perform the ceremony disappeared in an instant. Xu Tianran believed that one day, when he unified the entire continent and renamed it the Sun and Moon Continent, these unruly people would sooner or later willingly kneel down and worship him in submission.
Immersed in his fantasy, Xu Tianran even ignored Jing Hongchen's reminder. It was not until Kong Deming almost roughly snatched the loudspeaker soul guide from Juzi's hand and forcibly maintained order in the arena that he reacted.
That’s Long Xiaoyao!
"Shut up!" Similarly, Long Xiaoyao would not tolerate them, and his strong pressure instantly spread throughout the venue. The moment his voice appeared, almost everyone felt a blackness in front of their eyes, as if there was a dark cloud pressing down on them, and even their breathing became rapid. All the discussions disappeared instantly in this low voice. The entire competition venue and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the viewing area suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop. The effect was more significant than Kong Deming's amplifying soul guide.
What kind of strength is this? He can actually produce such a terrifying pressure! With his own strength, he can make hundreds of thousands of people tremble. Is this kind of strength really something a soul master can achieve?
"My dear ministers, please take your seats." Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Xu Tianran's forehead. This is also one of the advantages of sitting in a wheelchair, that is, there will be no situation where you almost lose your balance.
The ministers of the Sun Moon Empire took their seats silently, supporting Xu Tianran's forced attempt to save his dignity with their silence. There was a corresponding identity card in front of each seat, and you couldn't sit in the wrong seat. It corresponded to the ministers' status, or in other words, their importance in Xu Tianran's heart, just like Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen beside Ju Zi.
Besides Ju Zi, the person sitting on the other side of Xu Tianran was Zhongli Wu, who was named the national teacher. When Long Xiaoyao shocked the whole audience, he did not stand up to support Xu Tianran, because he knew his own strengths and weaknesses. To fight Long Xiaoyao, he had to call the Supreme Master over, and even if she came, she might not win.
Princess Xu Jiujiu, the leader of the Xing Luo Royal Academy, looked a little better. In comparison, at least at the opening ceremony of the competition five years ago, Long Xiaoyao was quite polite to their Xing Luo Empire.
Long Xiaoyao didn't think so. He felt that he treated Xu Tianran much better than Xu Jiawei. He didn't even ask Xu Tianran to stand up, but back then Xu Jiawei was forced by him to stand up and watch the entire opening ceremony.
"Your Highness, it's time to read out the rules of the competition." Kong Deming glanced at Xu Tianran. Is he still dreaming? !
"Okay..." Xu Tianran was furious and pointed at an elderly court official at random, "You go."
After the rules were read out, the old man walked to the loudspeaker in front of the rostrum and said loudly: "The first match of the preliminary stage elimination match - Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy vs. Dragon Slayer Sect. Both sides select seven players and enter the waiting area."
What do you think the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is up against? The crowd started to commotion again. The three major forces in Longcheng, who were sitting in the front row of the rest area, all had a close relationship with the dragon clan. Even Xu Tianran's face was not looking good, because among the members of this generation of the Sun Moon Royal Family, only his martial soul was a dragon.
"What do you think?" Long Xiaoyao sighed softly.
"It sounds awesome." But to be honest, Mu Xing was still a little unhappy. "Go check, have they really killed a dragon?"
"It's most likely an earth dragon or a sub-dragon. Is a real dragon so easy to kill?" Long Xiaoyao sneered. "Three thousand years ago, the Sun-Moon Empire almost exhausted the power of the entire royal family to hunt down the silver dragon."
Those who met the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the first round were all unlucky, but the seven people representing the Dragon Slaying Sect were surprisingly confident and not at all timid because their opponents were the champions of the previous competition.
