Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 265 The Defeated Demon Emperor

The first thing to be announced is the venue of the much-anticipated martial arts competition. The venue was finally confirmed to be Mingdu, the capital of the Federation, and not the headquarters of the Spiritual Pagoda as many people had previously speculated. Why was such a decision made?

There are many considerations. In Mingdu, there are more suitable venues for holding such large-scale events. Moreover, it is more appropriate to hold such a crucial event in the capital.

Since the fall of Shrek Academy, Mingdu has become the first city on the continent. The decision made by the Spiritual Pagoda has far-reaching intentions behind it. The most obvious purpose is to stay as far away from the Shrek Academy that is being rebuilt as possible.

By holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, the Spirit Pagoda hopes to weaken the impact of the news of Shrek Academy's reconstruction.

You know, if it is held at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda is very close to Shrek Academy. In this way, those who come to participate in the martial arts competition and marriage conference are likely to stop by Shrek Academy to take a look.

This was a situation that the Spirit Pagoda was very reluctant to see. They did not want Shrek Academy to regain the huge influence it had before its destruction.

Moreover, the current parliament is controlled by the hawks, and the Spirit Pagoda is a staunch supporter of the hawks. Mingdu can be said to be their other base camp.

You know, the Temple of the God of War is also in Mingdu. It is no exaggeration to say that Mingdu is a place full of powerful people. Holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride in Mingdu will definitely attract more powerful people of the younger generation to participate. In this way, the influence of the martial arts competition to recruit a bride will naturally become greater.

On the third day after the venue was announced, another explosive piece of news came out. In order to allow all the participating young spirit masters to gain something, in addition to the ultimate grand prize of the martial arts match-winning match-winning match-winning match, the Spiritual Pagoda would actually fully sponsor this martial arts match-winning match and provide extremely generous prizes. What does this include?

Among them there are one hundred black-level souls.

Yes, you heard it right, a full one hundred!
This number is simply astonishing and unprecedented.

Although the overall price of souls has dropped slightly with the emergence of artificial black-level souls, the price of black-level souls is still very high. It is unimaginable to take out a hundred black-level souls as prizes at once.

This means that as long as you can enter the top 100, everyone will receive a black-level soul as a reward. In addition, there are other more precious rewards. For example, customized battle armor, natural treasures and the like. Moreover, the rewards can be stacked. The higher the ranking, the richer the reward.

This move by the Spirit Pagoda fully demonstrated their wealth and power. The entire spirit master world was stunned upon hearing the news. Even those spirit masters who had previously watched the martial arts competition coldly or even disdained it could not help but be tempted by it. After all, the prizes were too generous! Without having to spend money to buy them, they could get them directly. The attraction of these 100 black-level spirits was too great, and instantly made the entire spirit master world boil over.

From the beginning, many soul masters looked at it coldly, or even indifferently, to later, many over-age soul masters were filled with depression and wanted to live again. In this way, the publicity of the martial arts competition can be said to have achieved great success.

Three days later, the Spirit Pagoda announced another piece of news, which gave hope and surprise to those soul masters who were somewhat disappointed because of their age limit.

The Spirit Pagoda announced that after discussing with Miss Gu Yuena, they made the following rule out of respect for the strong: based on the 60th level of soul power cultivation, the age range can be increased by five years for every ten levels of soul power above the standard.

What does this mean? In other words, if you are a seven-ringed Soul Saint, then you can participate in the martial arts competition at the age of 40; if you are an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, you can participate at the age of 45; and if you are a nine-ringed Titled Douluo, the upper age limit is 50. Once this news came out, there is no doubt that this will greatly increase the coverage of high-level soul masters. This will allow more powerful soul masters to participate in this conference.

The news of Shrek Academy's reconstruction and the negative news between Tang Sect and the Spiritual Pagoda were temporarily covered up by the fierce publicity campaign of the Spiritual Pagoda's Martial Arts Contest. For a time, the entire Martial Arts Contest had become the most eye-catching event in the entire federation.

…………

"How...how did you grow up so fast?"

The woman was thrown to the ground fiercely, her eyes full of disbelief. Her long hair was scattered behind her, with a few strands scattered in front of her, and she looked extremely miserable.

The person in front of him was none other than the Demon King of the Holy Spirit Cult who had been extremely rampant in Poseidon.

But at this moment, she knelt down in the snow in a miserable state, without any trace of her former majestic image.

The young man standing in front of her was holding a nine-colored golden spear, and his whole body exuded an extremely sharp edge.

Lin Xiuran glanced at her coldly, and said in a cold voice: "The Holy Spirit Church should have disappeared from this world long ago."

Behind Lin Xiuran, countless evil soul masters were being slaughtered, and standing in front of them were huge creatures.

That's right, these are soul beasts! All kinds of soul beasts, but at this moment they are all slaughtering these evil soul masters who usually do all kinds of evil.

Even though the evil soul masters used all kinds of soul skills, there was no reaction at all when they hit the bodies of the soul beasts.

In fact, the Holy Spirit Church now has no high-end combat power to show off except the Demon Emperor.

At most, there are some Soul Douluo-level strongmen, but in the eyes of the ferocious beasts in the Beast King Palace and the hundred thousand year soul beasts, these are obviously vulnerable.

As for Lin Xiuran at this time, after two years of growth and progress, his soul power has reached the peak state of human beings, and he is also holding the super artifact, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Spear.

For Lin Xiuran now, it is naturally easy to subdue a being like the Demon Emperor who has not yet become a god.
