Chapter 47: Opening Ceremony of the Face Show Contest

Li Xingyi walked all the way without stopping, and went straight to the front of Emperor Xingluo.

On both sides of the emperor sat the empress and the most respected Princess Xu Jiujiu, and on the back sat the princesses and princes.

Li Xingyi took out an exquisite little gift box from his soul guide, bent down and handed it to the emperor.

"My father is far away on the other side of the continent and cannot come here in person. I can only let this son of mine present the gift on his behalf. I hope Your Majesty will bear with me."

Emperor Xingluo waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, how are your parents' health?"

"Your Majesty, my father and mother are in good health."

"That's very good."

While speaking, Emperor Xingluo had already opened the gift box.

Inside the box was a small square cloth bag with exquisite embroidery and the words "Emperor's Fortune is as Blessing as a Rainbow" carved on it.

Emperor Xing Luo picked it up and turned it around to examine it carefully.

"What is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is a 'Wishing Lucky Bag'. My father got it from a certain sect when he was on a business trip. It is said that if you make a wish and write it on the lucky bag, your wish will come true."

That’s right, this is the Li family’s consistent gift-giving habit.

For these dignitaries, no matter how precious the gifts are, they are not surprising and are all the same. Often, the value of such gifts may not be high, but gifts filled with heart can have miraculous effects.

Just like now.

The word "happy" was already written on the emperor's face.

On the other hand, when other people gave gifts, even if they gave ten thousand year old soul bones, all they got from the emperor was a false smile.

"Very good! Very good!"

As he spoke, the emperor hung the lucky bag around his waist, something that no one else would even dare to think about.

At this time, most people in the main hall were stunned and speechless.

"As long as your Majesty likes it."

"Haha... take a seat. You are not a child anymore. It is time for you to show your face in big occasions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After bowing, Li Xingyi first walked back a few steps, then turned around and sat down in the Li family's exclusive seat.

In an instant, the sound of whispering conversations began again in the main hall.

"That little kid is actually from the Li family?! This is incredible! This should be his first time attending such an event!"

"The Li family? Their status is second only to the two dukes... Could it be the Li family from Shrek City?"

"After the event is over, we will go show our faces to that kid together. Maybe we can get in touch with the Li family~"

"..."

What's more, they have even started planning to form an alliance with the Li family through marriage.

There was nothing special about the event. After the tribute session, there was basically nothing else to do. People gathered in groups of three or five, eating, drinking and chatting.

As expected, Li Xingyi was surrounded by a group of people.

"Don't you recognize your uncle? He held you in his arms when you were a child?"

"Wawa, do you have a marriage certificate? What do you think of my little granddaughter?"

Li Xingyi was very annoyed by this group of people, but he couldn't just turn his face away in this situation.

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Tantian's voice came from not far away.

"Xingyi, come to uncle, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Li Xingyi felt like his savior had arrived, and said to the people around him, "Excuse me, seniors, the Duke of Bingji wants to see me for something, I'll be leaving first."

Then he ran to Lin Tantian's side and sat down.

"Thank you uncle!"

"It's okay... By the way, how is Xiaolu these days?" "Very well, we..."

at the same time.

At the front of the main hall, Xu Jiujiu sat on a chair with a serious expression, his eyes never leaving Li Xingyi since the tribute began.

"What an interesting guy!"

……

The next day, at nine o'clock, the sky was clear and sunny.

The streets were crowded with people, and almost everyone was talking about the once-in-five-year fighting spirit competition.

The competition takes place in the largest fighting arena in Xingluo City.

Three hours before the game, all 100,000 seats in the fighting arena were already full. Some crazy guys even chose to climb onto the roof, pillars, and human piles to watch the game.

Students from each college formed countless teams based on their own colleges, standing neatly on the super-large fighting spirit stage.

call out--

Snapped! !

The fireworks placed all over Xingluo City bloomed at the same time, showing brilliant colors.

And with the sound of the salute, it indicates that this year's fighting spirit competition has begun!

In the middle of the VIP area of ​​the stands, the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire stood up, turned on the soul guide loudspeaker and announced: "I declare! The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition - officially begins!!"

"Ahhh-"

"Xing Luo is the best!"

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"

"The sun and the moon are invincible..."

Instantly, the audience in the auditorium burst into thunderous cheers, cheering for their "home team".

There were even some areas where conflicts arose due to cheering for different home teams.

This grand event, which only happens once in five years, is truly shocking!

There are a total of 133 teams participating in the entire Fighting Spirit Competition, but half of them will be eliminated today.

The students stood in neat rows, in the middle of all the audience, and felt the "sense of oppression" from the audience firsthand. Even the elites of the academy would feel trembling.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the most important event held every five years in Douluo Continent. On behalf of the organizer of this event, the Xingluo Empire, I welcome representatives from all academies to come!"

"In the next month of competition, I hope all the players can strive to be at the top and show their best performance."

"Next, let me introduce you!"

Following this heavy introduction, the audience fell silent at the same time in surprise.

"Now, the team that will be on stage is the 'Soul Master Competition Demon King Academy' - the Shrek Academy team, which has won countless honors, topped all statistics in the entire continent, and won almost all the soul master competition championships! We are all looking forward to your performance!"

"welcome!"

clap clap-

"Shrek! Shrek..."

The audience shouted "Shrek Academy" and clapped loudly.

There is no need to say much about the value of Shrek Academy.

When describing Shrek, the Emperor of the Xing Luo Empire used the word "performance" instead of "performance"!
Although there is only one word difference, the meaning is very different.

It seemed as if this Shrek team was destined to win the championship from the moment it entered the field, and the process of becoming the champion was a series of wonderful performances.

Then, Wang Yan stood at the front of the team, simply adjusted his suit, and strode forward with the ten people behind him.

But for the six reserve academies.

The cheers from the audience made them even more nervous...
