Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 102 Crisis, Message

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is still in full swing. Today's match is between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Tiandu Academy.

Tiandu College is also an old college. Like the Dilongmen that the Tang Sect encountered before, it belongs to the Dou Ling Empire. The first player on the field is also a young man, tall, burly, and full of masculinity.

The referee saw that both sides were already in position, and the raised right hand suddenly dropped. The two contestants launched at the same time and rushed toward each other at high speed.

This was the first round of the competition. Every participating team wanted to make a big splash. The youth sent by Tiandu College was also very skilled. A loud roar sounded, and a fierce aura burst out from him.

The long-handled sword suddenly appeared in his hand, two yellow, three purple, five soul rings circling around the sword, there was no doubt that this was his martial soul.

The two sides approached each other quickly, and when they were about to meet, the young man from Tiandu College suddenly jumped up, his first soul ring flashing, and in the air he slashed a half-moon at the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect.

The yellow sword light shot out, and wherever it passed, a sharp roar sounded in the air.

This sword spirit is really good. Its power on the battlefield is probably stronger than that of ordinary offensive spirits. Huo Yuhao made a secret judgment in his mind. At the same time, he also focused more attention and observed the response of the young man from the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy.

The young man from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy looked calm when he saw his opponent launch an attack. He quickly raised the soul guide in his hand, and a blue light instantly shot out, facing the oncoming Half Moon Slash. The blue light and the yellow blade light collided in the air, erupting with a loud bang, and the energy fluctuations spread, stirring up a gust of wind.

The young man from Tiandu College frowned slightly when he saw his attack was easily resolved, but he did not stop. He quickly adjusted his posture and used the momentum of the fall to launch another attack. The second soul ring lit up, and a more fierce blade light shot out from the battle sword, heading straight for the young man from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor College.

The young man from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy smiled lightly, and the soul guide in his hand turned quickly. The third soul ring lit up, forming a solid shield to block the blade. At the same time, he quickly launched a counterattack, the fourth soul ring flashed, and a red light shot out from the soul guide, heading straight for the young man from Tiandu Academy.

Seeing this, the young man from Tiandu College hurriedly dodged to the side, but the red light was so fast that it still left a bloody mark on his shoulder. The young man from Tiandu College roared, swung his sword, and the third soul ring lit up. A strong sword light swept out, shattering the shield of the young man from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor College.

The young man from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was knocked back a few steps, but he quickly stabilized his body, with a cold and fierce look in his eyes. He quickly adjusted his state, and the fifth soul ring lit up. A golden light burst out from the soul guide, turning into a golden lightsaber, piercing the young man from Tiandu Academy.

The young man from Tiandu College felt the power of the golden lightsaber, his face changed, and he quickly activated his fourth soul skill. A huge sword shadow condensed on his sword, and he fiercely slashed at the golden lightsaber. The two powerful energies collided in the air, erupting with a deafening roar that shook the entire battlefield.

Both sides suffered a great impact in this fight. The young man from Tiandu College was pale, but still stood tenaciously. The young man from Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor College seemed more calm. He gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He decided to use his final trump card. The sixth soul ring lit up, and a dazzling purple light shot out from the soul guide, transforming into a huge purple dragon, rushing straight towards the youth of Tiandu College. The youth of Tiandu College felt the strong pressure, and his face became extremely solemn. He quickly activated his final soul skill, and the fifth soul ring lit up. A huge blade light shot out from the sword, heading towards the purple dragon.

The purple dragon and the blade light collided violently in the air, and an earth-shattering energy wave erupted, shaking the entire battlefield. In the end, the purple dragon used its powerful force to completely shatter the blade light and rushed straight to the young man from Tiandu College. The young man from Tiandu College was hit by this powerful force, his body was shaken away, and he fell heavily to the ground, losing his ability to fight.

The referee lowered his raised hand again, announcing the end of the game and the victory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The young man from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy slowly put away his soul guide, walked to the side of the young man from Tiandu Academy, and stretched out his hand to help him up. Although the result of the game has been decided, etiquette and respect between the two sides are still indispensable. This battle not only demonstrated the powerful strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, but also allowed all the audience to witness the pattern of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor.

Huo Yuhao watched all this in the audience, thinking secretly in his heart. He knew that the next game would become more and more difficult, but he also felt the desire to fight in his heart. He took a deep breath and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

When he was about to go back, Huo Yuhao saw the Princess of the Star Luo Empire in the rest area opposite. She was also frowning and observing everything that had just happened in the game.

“I guess the pressure of Xu Jiujiu’s game will be even greater!” Huo Yuhao thought, because the Star Luo Empire team was in the same group as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and now the points of the two academies are almost tied for first place. But as the game progresses, the two teams will soon meet. To be honest, as an ally, Huo Yuhao also hopes that the Star Luo Empire can win. But judging from the strength shown by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy now, this is obviously unrealistic. Now I hope that when the Star Luo Empire meets the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, it can force the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to show its trump cards!
After all, up to now, the players from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy have all been unknown players. Xiao Hongchen and Ye Guyi have not even made a move yet! They are hiding their weaknesses! Huo Yuhao sighed.

This is the disadvantage of the Tang Sect. There are only seven people in the Tang Sect in total, and there is no possibility for them to hide their weaknesses.

"Let's go back!" Huo Yuhao said.

"Aren't you going to continue watching?" Wang Dong asked puzzledly.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. “It’s not necessary. Tiandu Academy’s overall strength is not as good as Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. We probably won’t be able to find any useful information in today’s match. We might as well go back early, have a good rest, and prepare for the next battle!”

"Junior brother, what you said makes sense." Beibei interrupted, "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is obviously hiding itself. It's futile for us to stay here and watch the battle. Let's just do as Junior brother said! Let's go back early!"

The captain and the soul of the team have spoken, so naturally the rest of the people have no other opinions.

The people from the Tang Sect left the exit one after another and returned to the hotel. Xu Jiujiu naturally noticed everything here, and she shook her head helplessly. How could she not see what the people from the Tang Sect could see? But Xu Jiujiu was not as confident as the Tang Sect. Moreover, they were about to compete with the team from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which made him even more anxious.

But things have come to this point, and there will be no better solution for a long time, so I can only take it one step at a time.

With this thought in mind, Xu Jiujiu followed the Tang Clan members and returned to the hotel lounge.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Jiujiu saw Manyi's grandmother standing by the window, from which she could just see the situation at the competition venue.

"Grandma Manyi, why are you back? Didn't you go back to the empire?" Xu Jiujiu asked in surprise.

Grandma Manyi turned around slowly, and after a long pause, she said, "Jiujiu, I heard some news on my way to the Empire, and I thought it might be useful. So I came back on my own initiative to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Hearing Manyi's grandmother say this, Xu Jiujiu did not dare to delay and immediately asked seriously. It must be something extraordinary for Manyi's grandmother to come back and tell him.

Grandma Manyi released her own soul power to shield Xu Jiujiu and herself. After confirming that there was no one else in the room, she slowly walked up to Xu Jiujiu and whispered, "Jiujiu, on my way back this time, I learned that the underground forces in Mingdu are preparing for a massive competition."

Xu Jiujiu nodded. "A competition held by underground forces? Is there anything special about it? Grandma Manyi, please continue."

Grandma Manyi sighed, "The prize for this competition is very special and extremely dangerous. As far as I know, the prize is the artificial spirit ring technology that has attracted attention from all parties recently."

Xu Jiujiu's face changed, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes, "Artificial spirit ring technology? How is this possible? That is the empire's top secret, how could it fall into the hands of underground forces?"

Grandma Manyi shook her head gently. "I don't know the details, but the source of the news is reliable. Behind this competition are the two major underground forces in Mingdu, Pingfan League and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. One of them is the nobles of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the other is the military of the Sun and Moon Empire. They dare to use this kind of thing as a prize, so they must have something to rely on."

Xu Jiujiu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If it is really artificial spirit ring technology, this matter is very serious. We must find out who is behind all this. But why did they choose this time and this game?"

Grandma Manyi's eyes were deep. "It may be for testing, or to lure out certain people. Whatever the reason is, we can't take it lightly. I think this news may be useful to you, so I chose to give up the previous mission and tell you."

Xu Jiujiu nodded, but still had doubts in his heart, "Grandma Manyi, is your source of information reliable? After all, this is a major event concerning the soul master world of the entire continent, and we can't act rashly."

Manyi's grandmother nodded solemnly, "Jiujiu, I understand your concerns, but I can't guarantee the reliability of the news. I only know that they don't seem to be deliberately hiding anything. They are spreading the news widely. I guess that besides us, all the colleges participating in the competition know about it."

Xu Jiujiu still had some doubts, but she knew that Grandma Manyi was always cautious and would not easily believe or pass on unconfirmed news. She nodded slowly and said, "The underground forces' competition was announced to everyone so loudly, so the news must be true. But are the underground forces in Mingdu so exaggerated? The core technology of the empire was actually used as the prize of the competition. Aren't they afraid of the empire's liquidation? Or is the power behind them enough to make them fearless? Okay, Grandma Manyi, I understand. This matter is really important. I will handle it personally."

Manyi's grandmother smiled with relief, "Good child, you must be careful in handling this matter. The underground forces in Mingdu are intertwined and complicated, and you may fall into danger if you are not careful. You must remember to protect yourself no matter what."

Xu Jiujiu nodded in agreement, and after watching Manyi's grandmother leave, she immediately began to prepare for the report. She knew that this time might involve many unknown forces and conspiracies, and she had to deal with it with caution.

Xu Jiujiu took out the voice transmission soul guide and quickly called the empire's undercover informant in the Sun Moon Empire, and reported the news she had just learned in a concise and clear manner. The informant was also shocked after hearing it, and said that he would report it to his superiors immediately and send someone to secretly investigate Mingdu's movements.

After putting down the transmitter, Xu Jiujiu fell into deep thought. She kept thinking about the next action plan in her mind, and also thinking about how to ensure that her team would escape from this storm unscathed. At this moment, she suddenly thought of the previous conversation with Weiner, and combined with the intelligence this time, she realized that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this. She decided to go to the underground market in Mingdu in person to see if she could find more clues.

As the night deepened, Mingdu was still brightly lit. Xu Jiujiu put on his cloak, quietly left the hotel, and walked towards the underground market. After all, his identity was special, so it was necessary to hide it.

In an alley, Xu Jiujiu saw the arranged informant. The four empires would plant spies in the enemy's territory, especially the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire. The Xingluo Empire would place some orphans in the main cities of the Sun-Moon Empire from an early age. These orphans grew up in the Sun-Moon Empire and could be said to be no different from the locals of the Sun-Moon Empire.

"Sir, please follow me." After confirming Xu Jiujiu's identity, the informant immediately led Xu Jiujiu into the depths of darkness.

I don’t know how many alleys I passed through, but the front finally became bright again. As the light moved forward, a brand new street suddenly appeared in front of Xu Jiujiu.

Although these streets were not as prosperous as the main streets of Mingdu, they were still brightly lit and full of pedestrians. There were also many beautiful girls standing on both sides of the road. Xu Jiujiu also realized that this was the area controlled by the underground forces of Mingdu.
