Chapter 259 The competition officially begins
During the observations over the past few days, in addition to the team from the Body Sect, Wang Lin also unexpectedly discovered that a member of the Proud Sword Sect's team had also reached the Soul Saint level.
The most important thing is that the team member holding the long sword in his arms looks almost exactly like Ji Juechen.
Obviously, the help that Jianchi gave to Aojian Sect was not much. You have to know that they were different from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Shrek Academy, and Body Sect, the three top forces on the continent.
The Ao Jian Sect is not even as good as the Tian Long Sect and is only about the same strength as the Di Long Sect. How could a sect of this strength produce a Soul Saint who is less than twenty years old?
It can only be achieved with the help of Ji Juechen, otherwise there is no other possibility. Even among the four Soul Saints of the above-mentioned four forces, except Long Aotian, even without the magic grass, they can cultivate to the level of Soul Saint before the competition.
It would be impossible for the other three people to cultivate to the seventh ring under normal practice. In the original novel, even Xiao Hongchen had to rely on secret medicine and sacrifice five years of practice before he was able to cultivate to the seventh ring before the competition.
It’s a pity that Wang Lin did not find Ji Juechen in the Ao Jian Sect’s team. He estimated that Ji Juechen should be on his way to the Benti Sect according to the plan he gave.
In the subsequent wars, the Tianhun Empire is the battlefield where Ji Juechen can truly exert his power. When he attacks the evil soul masters, he can use all his strength and show no mercy.
……
A few days later, as the registration for the competition ended, huge temporary soul guide screens were erected on the streets of Mingdu.
For the broadcast of the Continental Youth Soul Master Competition, the common people of Mingdu took to the streets and ran to the soul guide screens, waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
Today is the day of the opening ceremony of the Continental Youth Soul Master Competition. Wang Lin finished his training early, and just as he went out after washing up, he ran into Wang Dawei and his son standing at his door.
Because he got up too early, Wang Songguo was a little sleepy. When he saw Wang Lin, he greeted him in a daze, but he still did not forget to summon out a handful of pine nuts and hand them to Wang Lin.
Taking the pine nuts, Wang Lin looked at Wang Dazhi and asked again, "Are you really not going together? Uncle Dawei, I have enough tickets."
"No, no, I'll just watch from the street. Lao Li has reserved a seat for me." Wang Dawei waved his hands hastily, with a reserved look on his face. "It's enough for you to take Songguo with you to see the world."
After saying that, Wang Dawei patted his son on the shoulder and warned him, "Don't disturb your teacher and his wife, or I will definitely beat you up when I get back."
The "extraordinary world" that Wang Dawei mentioned was naturally going to watch the competition in person. With Wang Lin's current status, getting a few tickets would be easy for him.
"I got it, Dad." Hearing that he was going to be beaten, Wang Songguo suddenly perked up and quickly patted his chest to assure him.
Watching this scene, Wang Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt very warm. He said quickly, "No, Uncle Dawei, he is usually very sensible. Sometimes he takes care of me."
Wang Lin really likes Wang Songguo. This child is very sensible. Even this child’s “teacher’s wife” likes this child very much.
Sometimes this kid can please Meng Hongchen better than Wang Lin.
"That's good." Wang Dawei nodded. He still looked familiar. Wang Lin pulled Wang Songguo and said with a smile, "Then let's go, Uncle Dawei."
"Bye, Dad!" Wang Songguo also waved and walked out of the alley with Wang Lin.
On the way, he still looked back with some reluctance. Just as they were about to leave the alley, Wang Dawei, who had been standing at the door of his house, smiled and waved to Wang Songguo.
It seemed that Wang Songguo was relieved to go, and Wang Dawei didn't close the door until Wang Lin and Wang Songguo completely disappeared from his sight. On the other side, not long after Wang Lin took Wang Songguo out of the alley, he ran into Wang Songguo's master's wife.
At this time, Xiao Meng was leaning against the entrance of the alley, with her long snow-white hair as soft as feathers, lightly tied into a bun. She was wearing a plain white dress, simple yet gorgeous, showing her cool temperament.
Noticing Wang Lin and the others coming out, Meng Hongchen turned around and looked. Her ice-blue eyes were as clear and bright as crystal in the morning light.
"Haha, it has to be my little sister Meng, who is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on the flowers." Wang Lin couldn't help but praise her, but considering that there was a child next to him, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and just stretched out his hand to Meng Hongchen.
"Of course!" Meng Hongchen looked up carefully and naturally held Wang Lin's hand.
Wang Songguo, who was standing on the other side of Wang Lin, immediately greeted him, "Hello, Master's wife. Sorry to bother you."
"Hello, little pine cone." Meng Hongchen smiled faintly, stretched out his other hand and shook it, "Thank you for your birthday present."
On her white wrist, she wore a red string bracelet with the Chinese character "林" on it. After showing it off, Meng Hongchen reached out and poked Wang Lin, "Where's yours?"
“Here it is.” Wang Lin stretched out his hand, and on his wrist was a black rope bracelet with the word “dream” on it.
Judging from the shape and style, it is obvious that this bracelet and Meng Hongchen's bracelet are a pair of couple bracelets.
This gift was given by Wang Songguo. Although it was not expensive, Meng Hongchen liked it very much.
Because it was still early, Wang Lin and Meng Hongchen took Wang Songguo to have breakfast first, and then they leisurely headed towards the venue of the competition.
At this time, on the main road of Mingdu, soldiers covered in silver armor lined up in two rows, starting from the gate of Mingyue Hotel and extending outward.
Because the competition was held on the outskirts of Mingdu, the team of soldiers extended all the way to the outskirts of Mingdu.
The road cordoned off by the soldiers was the road the contestants took to the stadium. It was under complete martial law and the public were required to retreat thirty meters away and not approach.
Wang Lin and Meng Hongchen mingled among the crowd, observing the participating teams from afar.
Compared with the last competition hosted by the Star Luo Empire, Mingdu, as the largest city in the mainland, can accommodate a significantly larger number of people. It is natural that the Sun and Moon Empire mobilizes its army to maintain order.
The passage consisting of human walls leading to the outside of the city alone required as many as 20,000 soldiers. On the street, there is an invisibly chilling atmosphere.
There were many teams participating in the competition, a total of 167 teams, nearly 2,000 people, supported by Sun and Moon soldiers, all the way out of Mingdu and towards the eastern suburbs of Mingdu.
The venue used for competitions is very large, and you can see it from a distance beyond the buildings in Mingdu.
The originally empty suburbs were now crowded with people. There were at least over 30,000 soldiers maintaining order, dividing the crowd into areas and isolating them from the competition venue.
On the north side of the competition venue, there is a high platform, all made of metal splicing, which looks like it can accommodate a thousand people.
The competition platform is ten meters high and more than a hundred meters in diameter. It is estimated to be about one hundred and twenty meters in diameter. The wide platform exudes a silver-white metallic luster.
