Meng Yu ignored the threats of the young men in red around him. He observed the situation around him. This martial arts arena was undoubtedly the largest one he had seen so far, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators.
All are decorated with the background color of the five elements. Although it is still morning, there are countless magic lamps hanging in the martial arts field, which makes people feel not only luxurious, but also magnificent.
When his eyes fell on the VIP table, he found a few acquaintances, two of them were the third prince Qi Yang who had conflicts with them at the City Hotel, the duke Zhao Xun, and the seven-year-old who robbed him. Prince Qi Tao. All three of them were sitting in the second row of the VIP seats, while there were only three people in the first row.
There is a person in the middle, wearing a golden red robe and a golden crown shining on the sky. His face is like an ancient moon. He looks much older than Qi Yang and Qi Tao, but there are some similarities between their eyebrows .
The difference is that this person's demeanor is far from comparable to that of Qi Yang and Qi Tao. Although he looks a little old, but sitting there, he feels like the center of the world. It seems that everything around him is based on He is centered.
The fact is indeed the case, the position where he is sitting at this time is indeed the center of the entire arena.
No need to ask, even if Meng Yu has never seen this person before, he can guess the identity of this person. Even the prince has to sit in the second row, so the identity of the person sitting in the middle of the first row is ready to be revealed. Besides His Majesty the Lord of the Morin Empire, who else can sit in this position
On the left side of His Majesty, sits a leisurely fat man, who else is Zhang Nan? It can be seen that there is still a big difference between the duke and the duke.
Today Zhang Nan is not sitting on his luxurious and somewhat exaggerated chair, and is only wearing a piece of casual clothing that was very popular on the earth a few years ago. Clothing from the same city is also very popular in this world. .
Thinking that Zhang Nan came here thirty years ago, but his fashionable clothes were a few years ago, Meng Yu suddenly had some thoughts in his heart...
While Meng Yu looked at Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan also looked over, as if he was also looking for Meng Yu and the others, and when he saw Meng Yu, he smiled at him.
As for the right side of His Majesty, sitting was a middle-aged man wearing a sky-blue magic robe. From his clothes, and the position where he was sitting, Meng Yu guessed that he was probably a very powerful magician.
As the seats at the VIP table were filled, the master of ceremonies at the side of the VIP table said loudly: "Next, I would like to invite His Majesty the Lord of the Morin Empire to announce the opening of this contest."
Just as Meng Yu guessed, sitting in the middle of the first row of the VIP seats and wearing a red gold robe was none other than His Majesty the Lord of the Molin Empire.
Amidst the thunderous applause, His Majesty the Lord of the Morin Empire stood up slowly, raised his right hand, and waved lightly to the players in the rest area below the auditorium. The thunderous applause was quickly heard. , Nuo Da's arena was suddenly silent.
A calm and resonant voice spread throughout the audience under the blessing of magic: "I, Qi Sheng, the ruler of the Molin Empire, on behalf of the Molin Empire, and also on behalf of the organizers of the competition at this time, announce that the Molin Empire, the national competition, Now, it's the beginning."
The applause was thunderous again, and cheers came and went.
When the applause fell silent again, His Majesty the Lord continued: "Here, I hope that all the players participating in the competition can fully demonstrate their talents, fight for the honor of the empire, and become the pride of the Morin Empire."
The applause rang out for the third time. This time, the eyes of the contestants in the rest area of the contestants released a scorching light. For them, the National Competition is the best stage to show themselves.
His Majesty returned to his seat, and the emcee's voice sounded again: "Next, I would like to invite the exclusive sponsor of this competition, the boss of Tongcheng Group, His Excellency Duke Zhang Nan, to give a speech for this competition."
As Zhang Nan got up, the applause sounded again. As the founder of the "miracle in the same city", his economic strength in the whole continent has surpassed that of the three major empires, and his popularity in the whole continent is even higher than that of His Majesty the Lord. The cost of this competition, including the contestants' prizes, was borne by him alone.
Zhang Nan smiled slightly, pressed his hands empty, and the momentum spontaneously emerged, "I am very happy to do something for this national competition, and I am also honored to be the opening guest of this national competition. As the boss of the same city group, I have , I have also seen many young talents, but unfortunately not all young talents can grow into towering trees."
"The birth of every grandmaster requires a lot of tempering, so what I want to tell you is that Bao Jianfeng has never been sharpened, and plum blossoms have come from bitter cold. Being able to participate in this national competition shows that you are all young. A generation of elites, as His Majesty said, I hope you can win glory for the empire, and the empire also needs talents like you, but you must not get carried away because of your current achievements, and you need to continue to work hard."
"I hope you will not forget your original intention and move on."
Hearing Zhang Nan's speech, His Majesty the Lord of the Molin Empire also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
And Meng Yu also looked at Zhang Nan with admiration. He didn't expect him to say such a thing.
The master of ceremonies continued: "My lord, since you said that you have seen many young talents, I would like to ask you a question on behalf of the audience. Among the 396 teams participating in the national competition, which one is your favorite?" Which one?"
Zhang Nan still smiled, "If I have to say one, it must be the representative team of the Royal Academy of Magicians, but there is no doubt that the Royal Academy of Magicians representative team and the military representative team won the top five. Among the participating teams other than the two teams, I am optimistic about another team."
"Oh?" The master of ceremonies asked a little surprised when he heard the words: "I wonder which team can win the favor of the Duke?"
Zhang Nan smiled mysteriously: "As for which team it is, please forgive me for keeping it a secret. I can't disclose it for the time being, but I believe that this time, our Morin Empire will definitely achieve good results in the continental competition."
As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, the audience began to discuss enthusiastically. They all guessed which team Zhang Nan was optimistic about, but this time there were 396 teams participating in the preliminaries, one in three hundred and ninety-six. The odds are so easy to guess.
Zhang Nan returned to his seat, and the master of ceremonies smiled and said, "It's a pity that the Duke didn't get the team he was looking for, so let's wait and see."
"Next, I invite the president of the Association of Magicians to announce the start of the competition."
The magician sitting on the right of His Majesty the King turned out to be the president of the Magicians Association, and it is said that he is one of the few magisters in the entire continent.
"You are all future pillars of the empire, so I hope you can reach the end of the game, because your loss is the empire's loss."
"Now, I announce that the National Competition has officially begun!"
Because the lottery draw for the competition was completed yesterday, this time, under the auspices of the master of ceremonies and the referee, the team battle started directly.
"In the first round of the qualifiers, the Luolan City team will face the Xiashan City team. Please go to the No. 1 ring."
"In the first round of the qualifiers, the Skystar City team will face the Jibei City team. Please go to the second ring."
…
"In the first round of the qualifiers, the Luoshui City team will face the Jiangxia City team. Please go to the fifteenth ring."
…
Following the announcement of the master of ceremonies, Meng Yu and the others calmly walked into the ring on the 15th. In fact, they were not too worried about the first round of preliminaries. Although Lin Zhan was still in a coma, Meng Yu was still there. With magic, they still have great hope.
It's just that when they were watching the group of white-clothed youths opposite you from the arena, their mouths were so wide that they could stuff eggs into them.
Although they knew from the lottery yesterday that today's opponent was the Luoshui City representative team, they didn't know that the team of white-clothed youths was the Luoshui City representative team.
Is it true that enemies don't get together.
Seeing the surprised look of Meng Yu and the others, the young men in white were secretly relieved. Without Lin Zhanxin, who made them afraid, they were still very confident in five against four.
And the young man in red was even more proud. Standing opposite Meng Yu and the others, he showed a victorious smile unabashedly, and said loudly: "Haha, it's true that there is a way to heaven. If you don't go, first It’s bad luck for you to meet us in the field.”
