Chapter 205 The Shocking Soul Emperor
Chapter 205 The Shocking Soul Emperor
In the blink of an eye, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has been in full swing for fourteen days.
Apart from encountering the first team from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy on the first day, Blue Tyrant Academy did not encounter any other strong teams.
The lineup for the competition remained the same: Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, Yang Ruolin, Bai Chenxiang, and Ye Lingling. Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong did not participate.
In terms of raw strength, in this Tiandou region, apart from Thunder Academy being slightly stronger than the five of them, the other strong teams, such as Divine Wind Academy, Heavenly Water Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Elephant Armor Academy, are basically similar in strength to the first team of Tiandou Royal Academy. They usually only have two or three Soul Masters, with the rest being Soul Venerables.
If Blue Tyrant Academy encounters these academies, they may need to make some adjustments to their lineup.
As for the other colleges, in their eyes, they were nothing more than ornaments and trinkets, not worth mentioning at all.
When they encountered them, most teams surrendered before even making a move. At the beginning, there were two teams that didn't believe it, but after being defeated in less than a minute twice in a row, these weak teams realized the invincibility of Blue Tyrant Academy. From then on, every team that encountered Blue Tyrant Academy surrendered without exception and stopped struggling.
This is understandable, since there is no chance of winning. Not admitting defeat would not only injure the players and affect the subsequent games, but also expose their own strength, which is really not worth it.
However, today Blue Tyrant Academy finally encountered another traditionally strong team - Elephant Academy.
Unlike in the original story, where Blue Tyrant Academy, the predecessor of Shrek Academy, did not encounter Elephant Armor Academy in the second match.
In the original story, Shrek Academy exposed the strength of two Soul Masters during their battle against the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Coupled with Ning Fengzhi's high regard for them, this attracted Salas's attention, who wanted to test them out and cause them trouble.
However, Salas has already tested Blue Tyrant Academy once through the first team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
There's not much point in probing any further, and he doesn't think the other five elemental academies are stronger than the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. How much more can he find out?
Moreover, he could explain the first match as an accident, but if he so obviously arranged for Elephant Armor Academy to target Blue Tyrant Academy, it would not only have no effect, but might also give Yu Yuanzhen a reason to punish himself.
Could he do something so stupid? Definitely not.
Besides, Blue Tyrant Academy will inevitably encounter those strong teams sooner or later, so why should he offend Yu Yuanzhen?
Therefore, the fact that Blue Tyrant Academy only encountered Elephant Armor Academy today is entirely due to the result of a normal draw.
"Round 13 of the qualifiers, Match 8: Blue Tyrant Academy vs. Elephant Armor Academy." The host's voice resounded throughout the venue.
In the stands, Ning Rongrong looked at Liu Erlong with a smile, "Sister Erlong, are we going to use the same lineup as before? I'd like to go up and have a go too."
Their eyes were full of anticipation.
Before Liu Erlong could answer, Dugu Yan, stroking her chin, said, "Sister Erlong, why don't we all go? I won't use my spirit rings, just my dragon transformation. That way, I'll be a standard power-attack type spirit master! With Rongrong's boost, plus my power-attack type spirit emperor status, dealing with those muscular brutes from Elephant Armor Academy will be much easier. And..."
At this point, Dugu Yan revealed a playful smile, "It can also annoy Tang San and the others."
Liu Erlong smiled and glanced at everyone. Seeing their expectant gazes, she nodded readily. "Alright, then all seven of you can come at me together."
They never intended to hide their strength; they simply didn't want to expose Dugu Yan's soul ring configuration, which exceeded the optimal ratio.
From the very first day, every match of Blue Tyrant Academy was scheduled to take place on the central arena. Even if a match of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team 1 was scheduled at the same time, Blue Tyrant Academy had to give way.
The reason is simple: Blue Tyrant Academy is strong and deeply loved by the audience.
After the host announced the entrance, Dugu Yan led the six girls out of the rest area. The audience erupted in cheers, chanting the name of Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Goddess, Goddess, I love you!"
"Blue Tyrant Academy! Blue Tyrant Academy!"
"The goddess stepped on me!"
"..."
The sudden cheers startled Ning Rongrong, who was used to seeing the world. It was her first time on stage and she had never experienced such a tidal wave of cheers before. She never expected her team to be so popular.
"Huh? Why are there two goddesses today?"
"Wouldn't it be even better if there were two more? Just thinking about being trampled underfoot by the goddess...it's so exciting, hehe!"
"Hey you, the one who wants to be stepped on, I've had enough of you!"
"..."
In the VIP section, Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi were a little surprised to see the entire Blue Tyrant Academy team on the field, but they were still happy. However, the mountain of flesh sitting next to them, Hu Yanzhen, was very uncomfortable, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Hu Yanzhen was tall, or rather, enormous. He was over 2.5 meters tall and occupied three seats, making Salas next to him look like a child. He was practically a mountain of flesh!
His eyes were as big as a bull's, wide open, and his skin was dark, gleaming in the sunlight.
This was Hu Yanzhen's first time watching the battle. As the sect leader of the four lower sects and a level 89 Soul Douluo, he was barely qualified to sit in the first row.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at him and immediately understood his purpose. He smiled and said, "Sect Leader Huyan has actually come to watch today's match. It seems he attaches great importance to it."
"Ali is the most outstanding disciple of our Elephant Armor Sect in hundreds of years. His talent surpasses even mine," Huyan Zhen said in a deep voice.
Although he felt that today's match was in jeopardy, he couldn't lose face, and he couldn't let Ning Fengzhi laugh at him. "In the future, he will definitely be able to surpass me and become the first Title Douluo of my Elephant Armor Sect."
Hu Yanzhen was initially full of confidence in his grandson. Although Blue Tyrant Academy had a Soul King-level participant, it was an agility-based attacker. Furthermore, while the other members were all Soul Masters, only one was a power attacker; the rest were either support or agility-based attackers, and the support members were purely healers without any buffs. Coupled with their numerical disadvantage, facing the Elephant Armor Sect's top-tier martial soul—the Diamond Mammoth—which combined defense and power, the Elephant Armor Academy had the upper hand.
But he hadn't expected that Blue Tyrant Academy would take their Elephant Armor Academy so seriously, sending all seven of them. While being valued was something to be happy about, it also made him feel that his academy was in grave danger.
Although he had never seen Dugu Yan, who was leading the group, he knew with a grain of salt that she was no ordinary person. After all, she was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, and their Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul did not have any special defense against poison.
Moreover, with Ning Rongrong's assistance, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit skills are publicly known throughout the spirit master world, he is also acutely aware of its terrifying power. With Ning Rongrong's support, his grandson's team would likely struggle to withstand the attacks of the opponent's agility-based spirit masters.
Glancing at Emperor Xueye, Huyan Zhen thought to himself, "Forget it, no matter how embarrassing it is, it won't be as embarrassing as the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team."
Hu Yanzhen had given up hope of winning or losing the match, only hoping that the team members from Xiangqi Academy, especially his own grandson, would not suffer serious injuries in the game.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team 1, whose match had already ended, was watching the other participating teams' matches from their private viewing box. They were quite lucky; apart from their loss on the first day, they didn't encounter any strong teams, which also proved that it wasn't that their Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team 1 was weak, but rather that Blue Tyrant Academy was too strong.
At this moment, all the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team in the private room had gloomy faces and were extremely unwilling.
In what ways is Elephant Armor Academy stronger than them?
Aren't there only three Soul Masters?
Moreover, their team composition is more reasonable, unlike Elephant Armor Academy, which is full of diamond mammoths with the same martial soul.
The actions of Blue Tyrant Academy were unacceptable to them.
"Hmph, they look down on people. I'll make them pay later." Xiao Wu gritted her teeth.
"Next time, we'll prove ourselves with our strength," Tang San said calmly, his voice slightly sharp.
For the past ten days or so, Tang San would go to play with the bunny girl whenever he had free time, because he discovered that the speed at which his Xuan Tian Gong was circulating was actually a little faster than usual, and yesterday he even broke through to level 37.
Moreover, the bunny girl's intense reaction greatly boosted Tang San's confidence. He was quite certain that he was still very powerful and definitely stronger than Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
In his view, brevity is not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage, as the saying goes, "short and concise."
He now believes Yu Xiaogang's words even more deeply, and his hatred for Yu Xiaogang has even lessened considerably without him realizing it.
At the same time, Tang Hao also fell into self-doubt. Could it be that the union of men and women could really promote cultivation? But Tang San had indeed genuinely improved his cultivation, so he couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaogang with new respect.
Even Yu Xiaogang himself was a little confused. He knew his own family was the best judge of his own situation, and he was well aware that he was just making things up. He only wanted to help Tang San regain his confidence, but he didn't expect that it would actually promote his cultivation.
However, Yu Xiaogang was happy with this and regarded it as an unexpected bonus. He planned to incorporate this information into his own theory and then make it public when he became famous.
Therefore, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang did not stop Tang San from going to brothels more and more frequently. If it could improve his cultivation, what was wrong with it?
In fact, the reason why Tang San was able to feel an increase in his cultivation speed was entirely due to the cultivation technique he practiced—the Mysterious Heaven Skill!
The Xuan Tian Gong is an orthodox martial art of the Xuanmen sect. Although it is unknown how it was obtained by a sect like the Tang Clan, there is no doubt that the Xuan Tian Gong must conform to the Taoist concept of Yin-Yang balance.
Tang San was only fourteen years old, a time when he was full of vigor and vitality. His yang energy was naturally much stronger than his yin energy. The union of male and female brought him to a state of yin-yang balance, which is why his cultivation speed increased.
If we used the meditation method from Douluo Continent, it wouldn't have this effect.
Of course, Tang San's indulgence in sex wouldn't continuously increase his cultivation speed; it was merely a short-term effect. Over time, when his kidneys became weak, his cultivation speed would naturally decrease. Moreover, since Tang San was already missing a part compared to ordinary people, the onset of his weakness would be even faster.
Amid cheers from the audience, Dugu Yan led the six women onto the central arena, where they saw the seven mountains of flesh opposite them.
All seven members of Elephant Armor Academy were dressed in black. The shortest among them was over two meters tall, while the tallest, Hu Yanli, was even taller than his grandfather, exceeding two and a half meters. Standing before the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy, they presented a stark contrast, like beauties and beasts.
Even more terrifying than their height was their weight. Dugu Yan estimated that the lightest among them weighed at least 500 pounds. The seven of them standing in a row resembled a thick city wall, giving one a feeling of utter helplessness.
Seeing that his opponent also had seven members on the field, Hu Yanli's heart sank. He stepped forward, his legs spread wide, and with two loud booms, the arena floor shook slightly. His small eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Elephant Armor Academy Team, Captain Hu Yanli, Level 43 Defensive Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!"
Is this a test to find out their strength? Dugu Yan sneered inwardly. The captains of the Five Elements Academy, such as Hu Yanli, often sparred and fought, and their soul power levels had long been thoroughly investigated, so there was nothing wrong with reporting it.
But Dugu Yan is different. She has never fought with outsiders in the past two years, and this competition is her first appearance. Moreover, she is currently the captain of the Blue Tyrant Academy team, so it is difficult to determine her soul power level.
"Blue Tyrant Academy Team, Captain Dugu Yan, Level 62 Control-type Battle Soul Emperor!" Dugu Yan said casually.
The Elephant Armor Sect is nothing but a lackey of the Spirit Hall. Hu Yanli's question was probably intended to be passed on to the Spirit Hall later, so that the Golden Generation could be prepared. But Dugu Yan didn't care. What could the Golden Generation do even if they knew? Could they defeat her? Or could they defeat her man?
"Level 62..." Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Hu Yanli's mouth gaped open, looking utterly dumbfounded.
Soul Emperor? Has a Soul Emperor ever appeared in any of the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournaments? I don't think so. There have only been Soul Kings, and there have never been more than three of them each time.
She's not even twenty-five years old, how can her soul power level be so high? Does eating and drinking increase soul power? That's outrageous!
The entire venue fell silent instantly, save for the gasps of surprise.
Not only Hu Yanli was questioning his life, but also all the audience members and participating teams present, except for those in the know such as Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi and Liu Erlong, were questioning their life, especially those who had cultivated to the Soul Emperor level at an advanced age. Even Qin Ming, the so-called second youngest Soul Emperor, was wondering if he had wasted all his years of cultivation.
Salas sighed inwardly, "It seems the Golden Generation will have a hard time winning the championship. I need to send another letter back to the Pope as soon as possible."
Hu Yanzhen's face darkened further, and his worry intensified; he almost wanted to concede defeat on behalf of the Elephant Armor Academy. (End of Chapter)
