The referee raised his hand, and both teams began to take their positions and announce their names.
At the same time, the one hundred and eight Soul Engineers from the Star Luo Empire who had been waiting below all pressed against the metal pillars in front of them.
The one hundred and eight metal pillars simultaneously emitted a brilliant light. Immediately, white beams shot up into the sky, arcing upwards to converge in the air, ultimately gathering twenty meters above the top of the arena.
When all one hundred and eight beams of light had come together, a layer of white light curtain descended, completely enveloping the entire arena. The protective barrier was now complete. This also meant that the first match of the current Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was about to begin.
"Sun Moon Empire, Dark Advanced Soul Master Academy:"
"Ma Baoguo, a Level 5 Soul Engineer! Specializing in: Offensive!"
"Quan Xie, a Level 5 Soul Engineer! Specializing in: Offensive!"
"Mo Li, a Level 5 Soul Engineer! Specializing in: Control!"
"Anying, a Level-4 Soul Engineer! Specializing in: Agile Offense!"
"Jian Mo, a Level-4 Soul Engineer! Specializing in: Defense!"
"Ye An, a Level-4 Soul Engineer, Specializing in: Auxiliary Enhancement!"
"Black Star, a Level-4 Soul Engineer, Specializing in: Agile Offense!"
The members of the Dark Advanced Soul Master Academy announced their names in turn. This was a gesture of respect towards the opposing team. Of course, if the two teams were at odds, they could skip this formality and attack immediately after the referee announced the start of the match.
The Dark Advanced Soul Master Academy had three Level-5 Soul Engineers present, which surprised some spectators. The first match was already a Soul King battle, which was quite exciting. The Soul King level competition usually took place during the round-robin stage.
Their Soul Engineer cultivation paths were also more focused than Shrek Academy's. Similar to Soul Masters, they had specific Soul Engineering specializations. However, they weren't just announcing their specializations; they were far more proficient.
After the Dark Advanced Soul Master Academy announced their names, the Shrek team also announced their names.
"Beibei, a forty-third rank power attack Soul Master, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' pre-selected members."
"He Caitou, a fourth-rank comprehensive Soul Engineer, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' pre-selected members."
"Jiang Nannan, a forty-second rank agile attack Soul Master, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' pre-selected members."
"Qiu'er, a forty-first rank power attack Soul Master, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' pre-selected members."
"Tang Wutong, a thirty-fourth rank power attack Soul Master, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' pre-selected members."
"Xiao Xiao, a thirty-first rank power attack Soul Master, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' pre-selected members."
The six Shrek team members announced their names one after another, and the audience was already in an uproar. Had they heard it wrong? Pre-selected members of the Shrek Seven Devils? Pre-selected? Where had the real seven devils gone?
And when the last two announced their ranks, the audience was stunned. What? There were even Soul Elder contestants in their thirties? They could still participate?
One of them was even barely touching the Soul Elder realm!
At this level to compete in the Continental Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, let alone winning the championship, even getting into the top ten would be difficult, no! If it weren't for the faith in Shrek Academy, it would be hard to even make it into the round robin!
Old Ma's face was ashen. Shrek Academy was even bolder than he had imagined, daring to use even a Soul Elder!
Thus, everyone's eyes focused on Su Qingfeng. Everyone was curious about the masked youth, who seemed to have a very good temperament. Was he the one who would create the record for the lowest-leveled member among the seven, or was he the trump card to lead them to victory?
At this moment, Su Qingfeng calmly removed his mask. With a wave of his hand, the mask flew into the air and finally stuck to the defensive barrier.
"My name is Su Qingfeng, a Level 5 Soul Engineer, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils."
Along with a faint voice, a peerless, unparalleled, and incomparable face appeared before everyone. At that moment, Su Qingfeng didn't use the ability of the Qiluo Tulip to conceal his immortal aura.
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
Everyone, absolutely everyone, was amazed at this moment.
Level 5 Soul Engineer? How could Douluo Continent cultivate such a young Level 5 Soul Engineer? How was it possible?
Moreover, he said he was the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, not the core, the captain, or even a member? What did this mean???
Before this, there had never been a mention of a leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, because the weight of the word "leader" was too heavy. The Shrek Seven Devils were composed of the most outstanding students of Shrek Academy in the past five to ten years, also representing the strongest student group of Shrek Academy. Then the leader, wouldn't that be the person who led all the students of Shrek Academy?
What made the entire audience almost silent for five seconds was the transcendent appearance. The moment the mask was removed and waved away, the entire arena seemed to float with wisps of immortal energy and shimmering starlight.
That face immediately captivated everyone's hearts. Even those spectators standing behind the viewing area, whose eyesight wasn't the best due to their weaker strength, and could barely make out the faces of the two people on the stage, were drawn in by Su Qingfeng's ethereal, otherworldly aura.
Even during the Star Luo Emperor's pre-match speech, the atmosphere hadn't been this quiet.
However, after a brief silence of three to five seconds, the entire venue erupted in a frenzy!
Everyone was mesmerized by that handsome-beyond-compare face and extraordinary temperament, especially the adolescent girls in the front rows, who were trembling with excitement, utterly captivated.
Even the competitors waiting to compete were stunned.
The crowd's unrest was about to explode. Some girls had already started to approach the protective barrier, wanting to rush in for a closer look at Su Qingfeng.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Star Luo soldiers snapped out of their daze, raising their sturdy, heavy shields in front of everyone, preventing them from advancing. But with so many people pressing forward, even the Star Luo soldiers were struggling to hold their ground.
Moreover, it was clear that even some of the Star Luo soldiers were wavering in their resolve. Some whispered among themselves, turning to steal a glance at Su Qingfeng, before their eyes became glued to him:
"No way, this boy is so handsome, I want to go up and hug him."
"Yeah, I want his autograph to hang in my room as a work of art. In case I get turned on, I can think of this handsome face and have a go."
"???"
At this moment, the Star Luo Emperor and the Empress, standing high above, widened their eyes. It wasn't until the audience area erupted in an uproar and chaos that he snapped back to reality.
"Peerless elegance, a treasure in the mortal realm. This temperament, this appearance... Shrek Academy actually has someone like a celestial being incarnate. Incredible! I finally understand Dean Yan's concerns. Without an additional ten thousand soldiers, the defenses would be breached in no time.
Quick, issue the order. No soldiers are allowed to turn and watch the stage. Those who disobey will be severely punished!"
It was clear that the Star Luo Emperor noticed some soldiers were already stunned. The best solution was to forbid them from turning around. If they didn't look, they wouldn't be captivated, and they could remain at their posts!
The Empress also spoke dazedly, "Your Majesty, after the competition, we must invite this person to the... no, the palace for a gathering. Only then will this glance not be in vain~"
The Star Luo Emperor gave a strange look at his Empress, who was usually only devoted to him and was gentle and considerate: ???
On the other side, a pair of twins with almost identical features were also stunned.
Xiao Hongchen touched his own face, then stared fixedly at Su Qingfeng on the stage, thinking to himself, "Damn, there's actually a man more charming than me? He's too handsome, isn't he? It's fake, it must be fake, I'm dreaming!"
"Bro, I take back everything I said to slander the masked man before, he's so handsome! Ahhhhh, so handsome! How can there be such a handsome boy in the world? I seem to… I must be in love with him!!"
Meng Hongchen's face was flushed red, her heart thumping wildly. Even those around her could hear her heartbeat. If the others' reactions were shock, hers was pure infatuation!
Meng Hongchen's eyes were practically hearts, completely losing it for this person.
As the saying goes: peerless Su Qingfeng, forever infatuated upon meeting him in Star Luo!
