Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 678 Registration Storm
The banner of the new Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is return.

Because, a long time ago, this competition with a history of ten thousand years originally allowed sects to participate. It was not until the past thousand years that the scale was reduced and only colleges were allowed to participate.

This time, after the organizer, the Sun Moon Empire, proposed it and other countries agreed, they finally decided to restore the previous eligibility criteria, add sects to the competition, and change the competition system.

This greatly increased the scale of the entire competition.

You know, on the mainland, the number of sects still exceeds that of academies.

For the academy, getting good results in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition is a great opportunity for the academy to become famous, which is of great benefit to enrollment and the development of the academy.

Isn't it the same for the sect?

The development of any sect cannot be without talents, and the more advanced the talents, the more likely they are to join a powerful sect.

After the new competition system was confirmed to be changed, more than 60% of the sects on the continent chose to sign up.

For this reason, the organizing committee of the competition finally decided that in addition to the age limit of 20 years old, there must be at least five contestants from the sect who have a cultivation level of more than four rings. Otherwise, the number of participating teams in this competition will be ten times that of the previous one.

As the continent's number one soul guide country, the Sun Moon Empire also invested heavily in this competition. The final prize is no longer a soul bone, but a soul guide device.

The champion team will receive a ninth-level soul guide, the runner-up will receive an eighth-level soul guide, and the third-place team will receive a seventh-level soul guide.

The price of these three soul guides is much higher than that of a simple ten thousand year soul bone. Especially the ninth level soul guide that the champion team can obtain, which is basically a priceless treasure in today's world.

Only the Sun-Moon Empire possesses a ninth-level soul guide device. At the same time, this ninth-level soul guide device is also the biggest threat to the other three countries on the continent!
With the huge prize, all participating teams are gearing up to strive for a higher ranking. This is not only a good opportunity to become famous, but also a good opportunity to gain lucrative benefits!

……

In the center of Mingdu, there is a large hotel with eight floors, called Mingyue Hotel. Because each floor is very high, even though it only has eight floors, it is still considered a very tall building in Mingdu.

This is a place for teams preparing to participate in the competition to register.

At this time, a group of people dressed in strange black robes were walking slowly towards the Mingyue Hotel at a leisurely pace.

Their appearance seemed to bring a hint of oppression and mystery to the air around them, leaving a very bad impression on people at first glance.

The moment the group of people stepped into the hotel lobby, a strong metallic texture hit them in the face. The hotel's interior decoration was the same as the exterior, in silver-white, with various streamlined designs, just like a beautifully cast soul guide.

Simple, generous and textured, this is the first impression Mingyue Hotel gives people.

There were quite a lot of people gathered in this wide lobby of several thousand square meters. As soon as the eight people walked into the lobby, a girl in a silver dress came up to them.

"Hello, distinguished guests. Are you here to participate in the Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Competition?"

The girl is tall and slender, with a very beautiful appearance. She is wearing a silver dress that is just right and hangs down past her calf, making her look very elegant and noble. With a faint smile on her pretty face, it is easy to give people a friendly feeling.

"Yes, young lady. Let me introduce myself. I am the Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Sloth, Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti."

The man called "Sloth" was seen making various meaningless movements while speaking. His body twisted and swayed, and his hands were waving in the air randomly, as if he was performing some mysterious and strange ritual.

This sudden strange behavior instantly attracted the attention of many contestants around him, who all looked at him with curiosity and doubt. The originally noisy lobby also became briefly quiet because of his behavior.

The reception girl was also confused by the inexplicable action of "Sloth" and the bright smile on her face froze instantly, but due to her duties, she could not show any impolite behavior.

This competition represents the face of the Sun-Moon Empire. If she behaves inappropriately, it will be a disgrace to the empire.

Fortunately, as a receptionist carefully selected and trained by the Sun-Moon Empire, she quickly adjusted her state.

After a brief loss of composure, the girl's face once again showed a charming smile, which was still sweet and kind, as if the embarrassment just now had never happened.

"Because there are many teams arriving at this moment, we would like to ask you all to wait for a moment. Please follow me." The girl's tone was gentle and polite. As she spoke, she led everyone into the lobby.

The lobby is located on the east side of the first floor of Mingyue Hotel, occupying a spacious area of ​​about 1,000 square meters. It is full of soft and comfortable white leather sofas. "Lazy" and the others were led to a group of sofas.

After they were seated, the welcoming girl bowed gracefully again and then hurried away.

Although she noticed that the mental state of the team leader seemed a little abnormal, she kept these thoughts to herself due to her well-trained professionalism. In her opinion, this was just a small episode in the work and she could handle it with ease.

However, an instinctive uneasiness quietly grew in her heart, and she subconsciously did not want to have too much contact with this group of people.

This instinctive discomfort was not without reason. She clearly remembered that she had had a similar strong feeling when she received another team not long ago.

And that team...

Thinking of this, a trace of fear flashed in the girl's eyes. She was going to report these matters to her superiors and let them handle it themselves.

As servants of Mingyue Hotel, in addition to being sent to entertain guests, they also have another task, which is to collect information.

They need to carefully observe every team that comes to participate in the competition, screen out those teams that are strong and need special attention, and report the relevant information to their superiors accurately to provide strong support for the strategic decision-making of the Sun-Moon Empire in the competition.

On the sofa, a young man with stitches all over his body and face, who looked a little scary, teased Sloth, "Master Archbishop, it seems you gave that young lady quite a scare."

Sloth said: "True man, in the process of spreading "love", we will always be misunderstood by many people, but we don't need to sigh about it, because the "Gospel" will guide us. As long as there is love! There is love! As long as there is love! We, the witch cultists, will be happy!"

As he was speaking, he suddenly did something even more horrifying - he put his finger into his mouth without hesitation and bit it hard.

"puff--"

Blood immediately gushed out of Sloth's mouth, dripping down the corners of his mouth and chin, splashing into dazzling blood flowers on the white ground.

But Sloth seemed to be unable to feel the pain. Not only did he not care, but he began to gnaw on his fingers more and more frantically.

He kept muttering to himself, "Love! Love! Love! This is the test that the witch has given us. As long as we can achieve good results in this competition and carry out the diligence of believers like me, then "love" will come one day.

"what!"

A young girl from a sect team who was waiting quietly on a sofa happened to see this scene and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Ok?"

Sloth's head immediately bent ninety degrees and looked at the girl. "Miss, what can you do for me? Why do you want to disturb us, the diligent believers, who are offering a blessing ceremony to the witch?"

As a member of the sect team that came to participate in the competition, the girl's strength should not be underestimated.

However, at this moment, looking at the maddened Laziness with blood on his mouth and hands, his eyeballs bulging outwards, Nan Qiuqiu's fear reached its peak, and she couldn't help but yelled, "Don't come over here!"

"Why? I just want to ask you, I don't have any bad intentions. Why are you so scared?" As "Sloth" spoke, he took stiff steps and slowly approached Nan Qiuqiu.

Anyone would be scared when a man who was gnawing on his fingers and whose blood was dripping onto the ground was walking towards him. Although Nan Qiuqiu had killed many soul beasts in her training, the unimaginable horror scene before her still had a huge impact on her worldview.

Originally, their Dilong Sect would come to participate in this competition this time because their mother Nan Shuishui wanted to broaden the horizons of these young disciples and prevent them from being confined to practicing behind closed doors within the sect.

Who would have thought that I would meet such a madman with strange behavior not long after arriving in Mingdu.

"do not come."

Seeing the "Sloth" approaching step by step, Nan Qiuqiu was extremely frightened and subconsciously released her martial soul for defense.

A diamond-shaped pink crystal gem appeared on her forehead as her martial spirit was released.

Rouge Dragon, possessed!

Pink dragon scales appeared on Nan Qiuqiu's body, making her body even taller. Her height increased by almost a foot.

At the same time, the rest of the people from the Earth Dragon Clan did not just stand there and watch. They quickly possessed their martial spirits and stood beside Nan Qiuqiu, looking at "Sloth" warily.

The Earth Dragon Sect, this sect is just as its name suggests, all the martial spirits of the sect's disciples are of the earth dragon species, also known as sub-dragons.

The commotion caused by the Earth Dragon Gate was naturally noticed by the other teams waiting to register.

Regarding this sudden fight, these sect teams had no intention of intervening, but instead had a mentality of watching the show.

"Oh~ wonderful, it's really wonderful. Seeing their companions in danger, they stood up without hesitation. What a wonderful friendship! And what diligence!"

The expression on Sloth's face became more and more crazy. He held his head with both hands and leaned back slightly, as if he was enjoying a wonderful performance.

"Ah! My brain is shaking!"

His voice was almost hysterical, echoing in the lobby and making people shudder.

"Big sister, there's something wrong with this guy's brain! How did you offend him?"

The other disciples of Dilongmen looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this scene. This kind of person who was obviously mentally ill made even these battle-hardened soul masters feel a little nauseous when they saw this.

Nan Qiuqiu said unhappily, "You've already said that he's mentally ill, can you still look at him with normal thinking?"

She was feeling very aggrieved at the moment. She just accidentally saw the man's crazy behavior and then inexplicably became his target. She was extremely unlucky.

Fortunately, at this moment, a figure came from a distance as fast as the wind and quickly stood in front of the people from the Dilongmen.

"You are a Titled Douluo, it is a bit unreasonable for you to bully a few juniors like this." The speaker was a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked 60% similar to Nan Qiuqiu.

"Mom." When Nan Qiuqiu saw the person coming, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and she shouted excitedly.

Nan Shuishui did not respond to Nan Qiuqiu's plan. Instead, she looked at Sloth as if facing a formidable enemy and said seriously, "This is the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. Are you planning to start a fight here?"

Nan Shuishui was not clear about the specific strength of "Sloth", but just because she could not sense the other party's specific strength, and the faint sense of oppression coming from "Sloth", she understood that even if the man in front of her was not a Titled Douluo, he was probably not much different.

But as the leader of the Dilong Sect, she could not watch her daughter and disciples of the sect being harmed. Even if she was facing an extremely powerful opponent, she would stand up and protect the disciples of her sect.

"Take action? No, no, no, ma'am, I have no intention of taking action. I am simply curious as to why this lady is surprised by my diligent rituals."

Sloth seemed to have regained some sanity. He slowly put down his hands, and the madness on his face gradually faded. He took out a book from his arms and began to read it frantically:

"We are devout believers and have no interest in meaningless struggles. Unless that is the revelation given to us by the Gospel. Yes! Gospel! Gospel! Gospel!"

As he spoke, he became excited again and his body began to tremble again.

"Oh~ The trials given to us by the Gospel are something that must be completed! Ah! My brain is shaking."

Then, the expression on Sloth's face froze, and he closed the Gospel in his hand. "Excuse me, the Gospel does not record the revelation that I will fight with the lady, so this matter ends here."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back with slow and stiff steps, as if nothing had happened.

A fierce fight that might have broken out was ended without any warning before it even began.

The atmosphere in the hall also relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Those who had originally been waiting to see the show also showed disappointment, and dispersed, continuing to wait for the registration process.

"Whoo~"

Nan Shuishui exhaled heavily, only to find that a large area of ​​her back had been wet without her noticing.

"Mom~" At this time, Nan Qiuqiu called out weakly from behind.

Looking at this useless daughter, Nan Shuishui asked in a serious tone, "Tell me the truth. How did you provoke the other party? Tell me everything clearly."

Nan Qiuqiu felt aggrieved when she heard this, but looking at her mother's serious face, she had no choice but to tell her the whole story honestly.

To put it simply, it was a pure misfortune. I just accidentally saw the other party's crazy behavior and was targeted by him. It was really unfair.

After listening to her daughter's story, Nan Shuishui frowned slightly, then sighed and said, "Forget it, this time it's not your fault. If we meet this team in the competition in the future, we will just admit defeat on our own."

"Mom." Upon hearing this, Nan Qiuqiu looked at her mother in disbelief.

Although she was indeed frightened by the opponent just now, looking at the appearance of "Sloth", it was obvious that he was just a team leader and could not possibly participate in the competition. Under such circumstances, what was there for them, the Dragon Gate, to be afraid of?

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui immediately put on a serious expression and said, "This is the only thing that cannot be discussed. These people are not simple. They may be related to the evil soul master, so if you encounter them, you must surrender immediately."

"Evil..." Before Nan Qiuqiu could finish her words, her mother covered her mouth with her hand. Looking at her mother's serious expression, Nan Qiuqiu immediately shut her mouth.

"Let's go. I just got the hotel room key from the waiter."

Before leaving, Nan Shuishui glanced in the direction of "Sloth" with some fear.

The Dilong Sect has a mysterious secret skill, passed down from the first generation leader a thousand years ago, which can tell a person's character by looking at his face.

And she only took a quick look just now and saw that the faces of "Sloth" and the group of people behind him were filled with a strong evil aura and a strange sense of distortion.

Nan Shuishui had fought against evil soul masters before, but the evil on the faces of those evil soul masters she met was nothing compared to that of the "Sloth" group.

Such a person is either an evil soul master or an extremely evil person.

"Is it really the right choice to participate in the competition this time?" Nan Shuishui suddenly felt a layer of worry in her heart.
