Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

The round-robin tournament, held every two days, is progressing gradually.

Compared to the knockout stage where losing means immediate elimination, the round-robin format, while still brutal, is significantly less intense than the elimination format.

Just like in the first match between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Cult, realizing the situation was unfavorable, strategically conceded defeat.

Strong teams aim to defeat their opponents in the round-robin tournament while preserving their core strengths and minimizing their losses.

The first round of the Spirit Pagoda tournament concluded a few days ago amidst much anticipation, although the much-anticipated Ice and Snow Goddess did not make an appearance.

The overwhelming strength displayed by the other members of the Spirit Pagoda team not only secured their victory without any suspense, but also garnered a lot of attention.

Good looks are everything!
The Spirit Tower team is renowned for its good looks.

Although their cultivation levels weren't as impressive as the Light Dragon Soul Saint who appeared at Shrek Academy, they were undeniably beautiful!

Moreover, all the contestants had the same configuration of four purple and two black spirit rings, and during the battle, the spirits and spirit masters showed a tacit understanding and cooperation.

People can no longer comfort themselves with mere coincidence.

While they were shocked, they also gained a profound understanding of the rising power of the Spirit Pagoda.

Especially with the explosive popularity of Soul Spirit.

The Spirit Pagoda published the specific process for obtaining souls on the Spirit Network.

Upon seeing this, everyone realized that the Spirit Pagoda not only had a clearly marked price.

The price is practically charity!

If other forces possessed the unique technology of Soul Contract, they would quietly amass wealth in secret, only showing off at the Soul Master Competition. Even if they were to actually sell it, it would certainly be extremely expensive.

The Spirit Pagoda seems to dislike gold soul coins; if a level 10 soul master wants to acquire a hundred-year-old soul spirit, it's completely free!
The subsequent fees are tiered tenfold, starting from ten gold soul coins, but it's very cheap if you bring your own soul beast to the Spirit Pagoda to form a contract.

The maximum handling fee is capped at 100,000. Once you reach level 60, the price for contracting a soul spirit is 100,000 gold soul coins.

This is absolutely amazing!

This is the price of a typical level 6 soul tool.

If a Soul Master wants to entrust the Spirit Pagoda to find a suitable Soul Spirit for a contract, it is indeed a bit expensive, and the price has no upper limit.

However, the Soul Masters were very satisfied with this.

Everyone praised it to the skies, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive.

Because low-level Soul Masters make up the largest number of Soul Masters, let alone a thousand-year-old Soul Spirit, they dream of contracting a hundred-year-old Soul Spirit, and they are also happy to see rich people get ripped off.

A level 20 Soul Master only needs ten gold coins to contract a Soul Spirit. Even if the price is ten times higher when you ask the Spirit Pagoda to find a Soul Spirit, it won't be much more expensive. It can be said to be a very friendly price.

More importantly, the free Level 10 Soul Master Contract also applies.

As long as their physical condition can withstand it, they can even directly obtain a hundred-year-old soul spirit that is very suitable for them for free!
Don't underestimate the first soul ring of a hundred years. The strength of a typical hundred-year-old soul beast can already rival that of a level 20+ Great Soul Master.

For ordinary Soul Masters, even if they painstakingly cultivate to level ten and possess the aptitude to absorb a century-old Soul Ring, they still lack the strength to acquire the first Soul Ring of a century without a powerful guide.

They only chose ten-year soul beasts as a second-best option, putting them far behind others from the start, and thus they were snowballed into a disadvantage.

The Spirit Pagoda offers these Soul Masters stuck at level ten a choice of Soul Spirits that can be absorbed within a certain timeframe.

As long as the other party has the ability to abduct the soul they've set their sights on, that's fine.

If one's physical condition is sufficient, and with the consent of the soul spirit, even a direct contract with a thousand-year-old soul spirit transmission tower will not break up the couple.

For ordinary soul masters who are born with low soul power and come from poor families, this is definitely an opportunity to defy fate!

It is no exaggeration to call the Spirit Pagoda a place that saves people from suffering.

Moreover, a hundred-year-old soul spirit can grant two soul rings, which can be upgraded as the soul master's level increases.

They immediately grasped the needs of the Soul Masters, captivating everyone's hearts.

Not to mention, the spirit can also gradually help the spirit master cleanse their marrow and transform their body, thus improving their talent and physique.

The worse the Soul Master's talent, the more obvious the effect.

The last one with such miraculous effects was the Profound Water Pill, but the Profound Water Pill is worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins, and even ordinary soul masters have no way to buy it!

This comparison clearly illustrates the point.

Of course, according to the information about soul spirits released by the Spirit Pagoda, the effects of a normal hundred-year-old soul spirit are not as direct as the Xuan Shui Dan in changing one's fate, and it also requires the soul master to cultivate with the soul spirit for a long time to achieve the same effect.

But how could they possibly find it objectionable?

At least there was hope.

As for the fees for high-level Soul Master Soul Spirit Contracts.

Wealthy Soul Masters don't need this money at all.

There are also corresponding policies and channels for Soul Masters who don't have money.

Even the participating Soul Master academies and sects were incredibly envious of these conditions; all they could think was:
Please stop contacting the academy/sect; I'm afraid the Spirit Pagoda might misunderstand.

People marvel that it is precisely because of the existence of forces like the Spirit Pagoda that the world has not become too bad!

Despite the sighs, the competition still has to go on.

Since the Spirit Pagoda views this Soul Master Competition as a Soul Spirit launch event, other forces also want to see if the Spirit Pagoda can handle it.

This is a trial!
Then these days, as they fought...

Everyone realized that something was wrong.

They only felt that the Spirit Pagoda was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Wang Dong'er, whose martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly and whose contract is a unicorn spirit, and Xiao Xiao, whose martial soul is the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and whose contract is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, both of them, along with Nana before them, achieved the feat of defeating seven opponents at the level of a Soul Emperor.

The remaining captains of the Spirit Pagoda did not participate in the battle. The two girls whose martial souls were Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbit were also Soul Emperors. Although the quality of their martial souls was not top-notch, their strength combined with their soul spirits was not to be underestimated.

Apart from Xue Di, who was the first to take the stage, all the regular members of the Spirit Pagoda were Soul Emperors. Even the two substitute members who were Soul Kings were equally formidable, and those with high insight could already guess their strength.

White Tiger + Netherworld Cat.

Isn't this the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger?
Although Dai Luoli's martial soul is somewhat different from that of a normal white tiger, it's hard not to be suspicious given how close the two are.

Seeing this scene, Dai Huabin felt like vomiting blood.

There are cows!
Already severely injured and not fully recovered, he stood in the spectator area with bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing, looking like he was about to explode.

Although Zhu Lu was the first person Dai Huabin abandoned, the murderous intent in his heart was now spreading uncontrollably.

It's clearly my cat, but it's being so affectionate with someone else right now.

Damn it, damn it!

Dai Huabin felt a little regretful.

I should have killed that bitch back then!

Now she's actually sleeping with her own adopted brother, she has no shame at all!!

He silently lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly, letting his nails dig deep into his flesh.

If it weren't for Bei Bei's martial soul not only evolving into the Holy Light Dragon, but also inheriting the combat techniques specially granted to evil soul masters by Elder Mu, I would never be in such a sorry state. I can't beat Shrek Academy, but I can't beat your Spirit Pagoda?!

Tang Yin, sitting next to Dai Huabin, turned ashen-faced.

That Tang Ya carried the scent of her mother!
Tang Yin stared intently at Tang Ya not far away, her heart filled with turmoil, and her breathing became rapid.

Impossible! How could this guy have the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor?!
Could it be that Mother was found in the Golden Tree?
Impossible. A year and a half ago, with his mother's help, he awakened his bloodline and evolved his Blue Silver Grass into the quality of Blue Silver King.

Moreover, her mother is a second-level god. Although she is not good at offensive tactics, a second-level god can absolutely crush a Douluo Soul Master!

Unless it was the Silver Dragon King who made the move...

However, the message received by the main body clearly indicated that the mother was fine and everything was progressing smoothly.

It's impossible to say that someone is controlling the mother, is it?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
With the protection of a second-level god, even a god-king in his true form couldn't accomplish this, let alone these native Douluo.

Tang Yin calmed down after regaining her composure.

Perhaps it's just my imagination!?
Perhaps this last successor of the Tang Clan does indeed have the potential to further develop Blue Silver Grass?

Or was it that his mother saw some talent in this guy, or that he was a descendant of the Tang Clan she founded, and secretly gave him some benefits?
Don’t worry, wait and see.

Today, the Spirit Pagoda's opponent is the Proud Sword Sect, which is ranked third in the group standings. They are quite strong, and Tang Ya might have to make a move again.

I'll activate the Purple Demon Eye myself later and take a good look.

……

As lunchtime approached, the main event of the morning's competition finally began.

The referee, Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, announced: "The next match is between the Spirit Pagoda and the Proud Sword Sect. All participants from both sides, please proceed to the waiting area."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.

If I remember correctly, in my previous life, the Aojian Sect successfully fought its way out of the group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals, but was ultimately defeated by the Tianlong Sect in the semifinals.

Unfortunately, the opposing team was unlucky this time and was assigned to the death group between the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Luo Royal Academy.

The Proud Sword Sect has failed to make it to the top eight this time.

Or rather, all four groups were essentially death groups.

The moment the group assignments were completed, Huo Yuhao had already secured the top eight spots in this year's Soul Master Competition.

As for the other teams, it's more about participation than anything else.

Their chances of qualifying are almost nil.

Unless the two favorites to win the championship really clash and one of them ends up winning, but that's highly unlikely.

It's not like losing one game means elimination. Even the Holy Spirit Cult, composed of evil soul masters, knows to avoid their sharp edge. How could other teams be so stubborn?
This is one of the main reasons why the bloodshed in the round-robin tournament has decreased.

This consensus was reached on the fifth day of the group stage, after the Holy Spirit Church had encountered its second opponent.

At first, the Holy Spirit Cult's opponents thought that since the Holy Spirit Cult had lost to Shrek Academy, not only was their morale low, but their fighting strength was also much weaker.

In addition, facing evil soul masters always stirs up their fighting spirit, and since they have a titled Douluo watching over them so they won't die, they plan to fight tooth and nail to advance.

Then they got carried away and were massacred by the Holy Spirit Cult.

If it weren't for the presence of the Unbreakable Douluo who intervened in time to prevent the situation from escalating, they would all have ended up crippled or even dead.

Seeing that victory was out of reach, they stopped investing sunk costs.

Later, when they encountered members of the Holy Spirit Cult, some were stubborn, while others were driven by the honor of Soul Masters. After being severely injured, they all became obedient.

An evil soul master is an evil soul master!

Their methods are bizarre, cruel, and vicious!
The casualties that were missing in the original story's battle between the Tang Sect and the Sun Moon Team were made up for by the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters, who employed all sorts of vicious and ruthless tactics.

Even referees at the titled Douluo level can suffer injuries or fatalities if they are not careful.

Everyone realized it.

The Soul Master Competition is no joke; it can really kill people!
In short, as the round-robin tournament continues...

As the situation becomes clearer, teams that are destined to fail to advance will no longer fight tooth and nail for victory. Instead, they will adopt a "clocking out" mentality, at most exchanging experiences and gaining insights.

The biggest suspense in the round-robin tournament now lies almost entirely in the competition between the first and second place teams in each group.

This ranking will also determine the subsequent semi-finals.

Because the top teams from the four groups will not face each other in the semifinals; instead, the top team from each group will play against the second-place team from another group.

In the first group, Shrek's victory over the Holy Spirit Cult occurred on the first day.

In the third group, the match between Sun Moon Royal Academy and Heavenly Dragon Gate took place in the middle of the competition.

Facing the powerful Tianlong Sect, Xiao Hongchen sensed a familiar aura emanating from the Tianlong Sect captain.

Thus, Soul Saint Xiao Hongchen donned his armor and went into battle.

Although he was already a Crimson Gold Lion with a contract of 70,000 years, he did not rely on his soul spirit to fight, but instead showed off his skills by relying on his soul tool combat techniques.

Inheriting the pure bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the arrogant Yu Tianlong of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, who considered himself the number one in the open dragon-type martial soul continent, was ultimately defeated by Xiao Hongchen, whose soul power level was higher.

With the confirmation of these two sets of win-loss relationships.

The remaining matches are the second group's Spirit Pagoda versus the Star Luo Royal Academy, and the fourth group's Body Sect versus the Mingdu Soul Master Academy.

Both of these matches were scheduled for later in the season.

As the referee finished speaking.

As the captain of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiu'er pondered for a moment, recalling the information Huo Yuhao had given them, and then looked at Tang Ya and said, "You come this time, play two or three matches, and then come down to replace Nana and the others."

Tang Ya nodded: "Okay, watch me."

Jiang Nannan, who was standing nearby, reminded her, "Xiaoya, don't expose your martial soul's devouring ability. At this point, it's best not to be mistaken for an evil soul master."

With Ah Yin's help, Tang Ya retained her Devouring attribute while her original mutated Blue Silver Grass underwent a second awakening as the Dark Blue Silver Emperor.

The Dark Blue Silver Emperor inherited the Blue Silver Emperor's disguise ability and also possessed a certain ability to detect evil. Its disguise ability allows the Dark Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to disguise itself as a normal Blue Silver Emperor or even a weak Blue Silver Grass.

As long as Tang Ya doesn't use her full strength, she can remain in a disguised state and no longer show the black mutated appearance of the original work where she fell into evil soul master. Otherwise, the audience would know at a glance that she is not a good person.

After all, the goal now is to spread the spirit.

In addition, the Holy Spirit Cult was also present.

That's why Jiang Nannan gave those instructions.

Tang Ya nodded to indicate that she understood.

She knew that, of course.

With the help of the 30,000-year-old Dark Jade Bamboo Soul Spirit, and coupled with his own Soul Emperor cultivation, defeating the Proud Sword Sect shouldn't be a problem... (End of Chapter)
