Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 395 The End of the Star Sea, the Beginning of the Competition: Xu Tianran's Plan
Upon entering the Dragon Tomb, the Silver Dragon King immediately locked onto the Dragon God's soul.

As a demigod of the Dragon God, only the Silver Dragon King can now take away the Dragon God's soul. Anyone else would probably just be suppressed.

With the help of the Dragon God's soul power, the Silver Dragon King's recovery from his injuries was maximized.

After Ah Da and the others had enjoyed the Dragon Cloud Body Tempering, Zhou Sichen directly sent them to subdue all the Soul Beast Forests on the Star Sea Continent.

The Sea Princess and the Demon Emperor went to subdue the seas surrounding the Star Sea Continent, so that they could start working immediately after the Star Sea Spirit Transmission Tower was built.

The White Dragon King of the Star Sea Great Forest was easily subdued by the Mirror Beast, which had copied Di Tian's abilities.

With its current cultivation of 850,000 years, the Mirror Beast, after replicating the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's abilities, is not even weaker than Di Tian's original form.

The White Dragon King, with only 300,000 years of cultivation, was practically a child in front of the Little Mirror, so he was immediately accepted as a follower.

In this way, the matter of the Star Sea Continent was easily resolved.

All that's left is to wait for the Spirit Pagoda to be built, and then use it to spread throughout the entire continent to collect faith.

During this time, Zhou Sichen can study the issue of faith power so that he can use it to integrate into his soul core later.

If Zhou Sichen can really achieve this, he might truly achieve immortality in the future.

At the same time, a grand event for the entire Douluo Continent also began.

This year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will be held in the Sun Moon Empire.

Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire put forward a significant proposal: to allow Soul Master sects to participate in the competition.

This time, following a proposal from the organizer, the Sun Moon Empire, and with the agreement of other countries, the final decision was made to allow Soul Master Sects to participate in the competition.

At the same time, the competition name was changed to the "All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Soul Battle Competition".

At the same time, the competition format has also been changed, which has greatly increased the scale of the entire competition.

On the mainland, the number of sects far exceeds the number of academies.

For the academy, achieving good results in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Battle Tournament is a great opportunity to make a name for itself, which is of great benefit to enrollment and the development of the academy.

And isn't the same true for sects?

The development of any sect cannot be achieved without talented individuals.

The more highly skilled and talented individuals are, the more likely they are to join powerful sects.

After the format of the new competition was finalized, more than 60 percent of the sects on the mainland chose to register.

If it weren't for the final decision of the competition organizing committee, apart from the age limit of twenty.

It also restricts the number of participants from each sect to at least five with cultivation levels above the fourth ring. It is likely that the number of participating teams in this year's competition will be ten times that of the previous year.

Even with these restrictions, the number of participating teams ultimately reached 250, more than double that of the previous edition.

(The original novel had over 100 retconning entries, so this has been changed.)
As the wealthiest nation on the Douluo Continent, it's no surprise that the Sun Moon Empire hosts such a grand competition.

Even so, they spent three whole months preparing for this competition.

As the largest city on the mainland, Mingdu has also expanded a large number of hotels and increased the number of rooms to accommodate more guests during this grand event.

Especially for merchants from other places, they can earn more profits from it.

As the number one Soul Master nation on the continent, the Sun Moon Empire has spared no expense in this competition.

The final prize is no longer a soul bone, but a soul guide.

The champion team will receive a level 9 soul tool, the runner-up will receive a level 8 one, and the third-place team will receive a level 7 one.

A level-nine soul tool is almost equivalent to a titled Douluo, so even without a soul bone, such a reward is still exciting.

The price of these three soul tools is much higher than the value of soul bones.

In particular, the level nine soul tools that the champion team can obtain are basically priceless treasures in today's world.

Only the Sun Moon Empire possesses level nine soul tools.

At the same time, this level nine soul tool is the biggest threat to the other three kingdoms on the continent!
While the three major empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent did not openly possess level-nine soul tools, whether they did in secret was unknown.

In fact, apart from Shrek Academy, the other three empires that originally belonged to Douluo Continent still do not have level nine soul tools.

Besides Zhou Sichen, Fan Yu is the first level nine soul master at Shrek Academy.

Fan Yu had just condensed his soul core and broken through to level 90 three months ago, and had also obtained a 100,000-year-old soul spirit, which was how he broke through to the level 9 soul master.

Fan Yu's 100,000-year-old soul was obtained from the Spirit Transmission Tower in Hanhai City.

The Spirit Transmission Tower in Hanhai City was completed shortly after the Spirit Transmission Tower in Dragon City was built, and at that time, the Sea Princess personally supervised the construction.

The deputy tower masters of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Hanhai City are Ma Xiaotao and Princess Hai. With them in charge of the branch towers of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Hanhai City, Zhou Sichen doesn't need to worry too much.

Moreover, nowadays, 99% of the spirit attribute soul masters in the three major empires of Douluo Continent have voluntarily become spirit masters, living in various branch towers and enjoying welfare benefits.

Moreover, many disciples in the various Soul Master Academies and Sects of the three great empires of Douluo Continent now possess Soul Spirits, greatly enhancing their strength.

With the generous rewards, all participating teams are eager to compete for higher rankings.

This is not only a great opportunity to become famous overnight, but also a great chance to reap rich rewards!
For Soul Masters, in order to become stronger, in addition to their own cultivation, they must rely on Soul Tools.

The exorbitant price of high-level soul tools makes them unattainable for the vast majority of soul masters.

In this day and age, you absolutely cannot become a strong person without money.

So after everyone obtained their souls, they couldn't wait to take it a step further.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire currently lacks Soul Spirits, which gives the Soul Masters of the original three empires of the Douluo Continent a greater advantage.

This made them even more eager to fight.

……

Mingdu, the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, the back garden.

The wheelchair moved slowly along the wide bluestone path in the back garden, where plants of all shapes and sizes were scattered throughout, each design showing ingenuity.

The small waterfalls in the artificial hills, the royal patterns amidst the blooming flowers, and the towering trees make the entire royal garden of the Sun Moon Empire feel like a beautiful forest.

"How is Father Emperor doing?" Xu Tianran, sitting in a wheelchair, closed his eyes, a thin blanket covering his legs, exuding a faint sense of leisure.

The one pushing his wheelchair was none other than Orange.

During her five years in the army, Orange matured a lot and became much more ruthless. The Orange of today is no longer the little girl she once was; she is a true soldier.

Oranges have seen blood.

Now, Ju Zi has completely taken control of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Group, and its influence is the highest among the five major Soul Master Groups.

This is not only because she has Xu Tianran's support behind her, but also because of Ju Zi's own abilities.

Today, Orange wore a pale yellow dress that accentuated her fair and delicate skin, making her look noble and elegant.

Compared to before, she now possesses a more composed demeanor, and her beautiful eyes occasionally flash with a captivating wisdom.

"His Majesty's health is probably failing him soon," Ju Zi said softly. "The imperial physician said that His Majesty has been frequently unconscious and falling into a coma these past few days."

Xu Tianran kept his eyes closed, as if the frail old man Ju Zi had mentioned had nothing to do with him at all.

Xu Tianran said in a flat tone: "My father worked diligently all his life, seeking no merit but only avoiding mistakes, and missed so many great opportunities! In the future history, he can only be a mediocre emperor."

As he spoke, he looked at the orange and asked, "What's the military's reaction?"

Orange said, "The military is very calm. Since we took control of the Mingdu Garrison and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps, the military's original opposition has disappeared."

“We already have three-fifths of the empire’s army under our direct control. The other two-fifths are either in a wait-and-see attitude or are only loyal to the emperor. Once you ascend the throne, I believe they will immediately come to our aid.”

Xu Tianran smiled, a smile that was quite handsome, but for some reason, when Ju Zi saw it, her heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Because she knew very well that whenever Xu Tianran showed such an expression, it meant he was about to unleash a massacre.

"No rush. After I ascend the throne, if they remain stubborn to the end, you can go and visit them," Xu Tianran said with a smile.

Ju Zi's body trembled slightly, but she still nodded and said, "Yes."

Xu Tianran turned around, glanced at her, and said, "Ju Zi, let's not be so formal with each other."

"After I ascend the throne, the first thing I will do is to make you my empress, so that you can rule the world as the mother of the nation."

"You're always so reserved, which makes you lack the dignified bearing of an empress."

Ju Zi smiled calmly and said, "Your Highness, as you know, Ju Zi follows you without seeking any title or status."

"Ju Zi has only two wishes: one is to always stay by your side, and the other is to destroy the Star Luo Empire."

Xu Tianran nodded gently and said, "Both of your wishes will come true."

"How's the preparation going?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of His Highness's plan, Ju Zi's breathing became rapid.

"Besides the troops at the front, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps, the Radiant Dragon Soul Master Corps, and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps have all assembled and are awaiting your orders."

Xu Tianran smiled upon hearing this: "Send people to protect Father Emperor. After the competition begins, I want not a single fly to fly out of Mingdu."

Orange nodded: "Understood."

"Is the preparation for the competition almost complete? Has Master Hongchen sent any reports?" Xu Tianran continued to ask.

When there was no war, Orange became almost his most important intelligence officer.

Xu Tianran wasn't exaggerating when he said that he genuinely trusted Ju Zi.

Orange nodded and said, "Everything is ready. Everything is proceeding according to plan."

Xu Tianran said calmly, "A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. I hope they will make a wise choice, otherwise it would be a real pity."

"By the way, have the people from Shrek Academy arrived yet? Is Zhou Sichen among them?"

Orange said, "The Shrek Academy team has already checked into the Sun and Moon Hotel, but we haven't seen Zhou Sichen."

"This time, their team leader is Zhang Lexuan, who was the team leader of the Martial Soul Department when they went on an exchange program with Shrek Academy."

The thought of Zhou Sichen made Xu Tianran feel uneasy.

He had hired Long Xiaoyao to assassinate Zhou Sichen, but unexpectedly, Zhou Sichen was rescued by Dragon God Douluo.

Unfortunately, Zhou Sichen no longer dares to set foot in the Sun Moon Empire, causing him to miss a golden opportunity.

Of course, even if Xu Tianran were to openly take action against Zhou Sichen now, he might not dare to do so.

After all, not everyone can withstand the wrath of a Limit Douluo.

However, Xu Tianran is now fully prepared. With the two members of the Holy Spirit Sect in charge and the five major Soul Master Corps protecting him, Xu Tianran is confident that he can wipe out all the geniuses who have come to participate in the competition!
Even if these people ultimately cannot be used by him, he can still take this opportunity to extort a large sum of money!
In Xu Tianran's eyes, this was the last major competition before the Sun Moon Empire was unified.

Once the Sun and Moon Empire is unified in the future, this dark history will naturally be put to rest.

The reason why Xu Tianran is even more anxious now than in the original story is mainly because of the rise of the Spirit Pagoda.

If the Spirit Pagoda were to fully flourish in the original Douluo Continent, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the power of the Soul Masters in the original Douluo Continent.

If we try to unify the continent then, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

Therefore, the only way to avoid any unexpected events is to take action before the soul tools of the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent are underdeveloped and the soul spirit system has fully blossomed.

Moreover, Xu Tianran is now deeply bound to the Holy Spirit Cult. If he does not unify the continent as soon as possible and then eliminate this cancerous tumor of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Sun Moon Empire will eventually be devoured by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Because of the indulgence of the Holy Spirit Church in the past two years, many people in the government have begun to complain.

Xu Tianran instructed Ju Zi to "protect" his father because he planned to solve the problem once and for all this time.

He launched a coup while ascending the throne, using the tournament to attract most of the Soul Masters and elites of Douluo Continent, hoping to solve the problem once and for all!

After all, Xu Tianran didn't want these soul masters to die. He only wanted them to submit to the Sun Moon Empire and become the Sun Moon Empire's soul master sects. Then everything else would be fine.

Xu Tianran only wanted to destroy the royal families of the three major empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent. He was even willing to spare Shrek Academy and let it continue to exist.

The unification of the empire will not affect Shrek Academy's status.

In this way, Xu Tianran, having made significant concessions, believes that given the absolute difference in strength, these talented soul masters will make the right choice.

Xu Tianran looked at the bright sunshine in the sky, and his ambition soared: "Ju Zi, after this, you will be my Grand Marshal of the Three Armies, and you will personally lead the army to attack Xing Luo."

Upon hearing this, a look of excitement flashed in Ju Zi's eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness... no, thank you... Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing the words "Your Majesty," a glint of light flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes as well: "My Empress, rise!"
