Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 397 Three 100,000-Year Soul Rings

After the draw, there will be fifteen minutes for preparation.

These fifteen minutes are for Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to develop tactics and determine the order of one-on-one engagements after the team battle.

The same applies to other colleges; information must be provided in advance within fifteen minutes.

Once the order of appearance is determined, it cannot be changed, which puts the team captains' coordination skills to the test.

For Cao Jinxuan, whether in team battles or one-on-one situations, with his team of four Soul Saint level experts, there was no possibility of losing.

Therefore, he didn't need to think too much. In one-on-one mode, he could simply send four Soul Saint experts to the front and quickly resolve the battle.

With the Hongchen siblings leading the team, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is indeed very strong, even faintly surpassing the Holy Spirit Cult.

But against Shrek's incredible lineup, they can only struggle a little longer at most.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the lists of the top eight teams had all been submitted. The students from Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also entered the preparation area.

Chief Referee Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, walked onto the competition stage and signaled for both teams to enter.

The seven Shrek Academy students lined up in a row:

Cao Jinxuan, Martial Soul: Time-Fleeting Bell, Level 75 Control System.

Long Xiangyue, Martial Soul: Dragon Bone Boomerang, Level 75 Power Attack Type.

Di Xi, Martial Soul: Golden Dragon, Level 72 Power Attack Type.

He Caitou, Martial Soul: Cigar, Level 74 Soul Master (Support Type).

Ning Tian, ​​Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 53, Support Type.

Dai Huabin, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 58, Power Attack Type.

Zhu Lu, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Level 52 Agility Attack Type.

The difference in cultivation level among the seven members of Shrek Academy is extraordinary, with four Soul Saints and three Soul Kings, but not a single Soul Emperor.

However, Wu Feng, the original starting player, was replaced by Zhu Lu because Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Both of them were Soul Kings, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, was comparable to a high-level Soul Emperor.

In this way, Shrek Academy's combat power is at least at the Soul Emperor level. Although Ning Tian is only at the fifth ring, her average 60% boost effect is still not to be ignored.

On the other side, the seven students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also lined up in a row.
Xiao Hongchen, Martial Soul: Three-Legged Golden Toad, Level 72 Soul Master, Power Attack Type.

Meng Hongchen, Martial Soul: Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, Level 72 Soul Master, Control Type.

Lin Feng, Martial Soul: Flower Butterfly, Level 53 Soul Master.

Chen Munan, Martial Soul: Mangosteen, Level 51 Soul Master
Du Shuang, Martial Soul: Qingfeng Sword, Level 55 Soul Master.

Hu Wensheng, Martial Soul: Sky Steel Shield, Level 55 Soul Master
Li Hao, Martial Soul: Red-faced Mountain Demon, Level 59 Soul Master.

The seven Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also showed a significant difference in ability; two were Soul Saints with five Soul Rings, while the middle one had no Soul Emperor.

However, those with the cultivation level of Soul King are already the strongest in most Soul Master academies and sects.

Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue, Di Xi, He Caitou, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen are just a few of the many cross-generational super geniuses.

Moreover, in summary, almost all of their current strength and talent are inseparable from Zhou Sichen.

Looking at all the Soul Saints in the entire competition, whether it's Long Aotian, Vina, or Yan Feng, their current cultivation levels are all more or less related to Zhou Sichen.

Although Long Aotian and Yan Feng were also Soul Saints in the original novel, they are now much stronger than they were in the original work.

Long Aotian not only possesses a seventh soul ring that lasts for 100,000 years, but also has a cultivation level of 75.

Although Yan Feng did not have a 100,000-year seventh soul ring, his cultivation level was still 75, and it was unknown what trump cards he was hiding.

Because of the changes Zhou Sichen brought to the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhong Liwu has given this disciple extra meals countless times over the past two years.

Others may not know, but Zhongli Wu knows that Yan Feng's current strength is no more than 50%, and that is enough to make him comparable to a Soul Douluo.

If Yan Feng were to unleash his full power, he could even take on ordinary Title Douluos head-on; the power of the Bone Dragon Martial Soul has been fully developed by Yan Feng.

A genius evil soul master like Yan Feng is no less powerful than a prodigy with an ultimate martial soul at the same level.

This is why Zhongliwu is so confident.

After the fourteen team members from both sides stepped onto the stage, Zheng Zhan's voice rang out: "Both sides salute and release their martial spirits!"

As Zheng Zhan finished speaking, the fourteen team members from both sides bowed and saluted, then formed their battle formations and released their martial spirits, with dazzling spirit rings rising one after another!
Although the audience had seen it many times, they were still amazed by the Soul Ring Show.

After Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue and Di Xi's seven spirit rings rose, the cheers of hundreds of thousands of viewers almost broke through the sky!
Red! Red! Red!
The seventh spirit rings of all three were 100,000-year spirit rings!
Before this, although Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue and Di Xi would occasionally perform, they usually defeated their opponents using soul tools.

The three of them barely used their martial spirits, since their opponents were too weak.

For slightly stronger opponents, there's He Caitou, a level seven soul master, and if all else fails, there's Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Netherworld White Tiger.

Therefore, Cao Jinxuan and the other two didn't get to play many times. If their opponents weren't the Hongchen siblings, they wouldn't even all of them have had a chance to play this time.

So when everyone saw the seventh spirit rings of the three of them, which were 100,000 years old, they all showed shocked expressions.

When did 100,000-year spirit rings become as common as cabbages?
The fact that Long Aotian, the young sect master of the Body Sect, possessed his seventh soul ring, which had lasted for 100,000 years, had already given everyone a powerful shock.

Now you're telling me that three out of the four Soul Saints at Shrek Academy possess 100,000-year Soul Rings? Are you even human?

Of course, viewers would be even more shocked if they saw the spirit ring configuration of He Caitou's second spirit.

At the same time, the Hongchen siblings opposite them also had deep gazes and solemn expressions.

I knew Shrek Academy was strong, but I didn't expect it to be this ridiculously strong!

Even though they have their grandfathers who can give them a boost, and they are all seven-ring Soul Saints now, their seventh Soul Ring is only a little over 60,000 years old.

Seeing the row of 100,000-year soul rings in front of them, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both began to question their existence.

Di Xi's 100,000-year soul ring was formed by herself. Unlike the original story where she hunted soul beasts, Di Xi, with Zhou Sichen's help, directly formed her natal soul ring with the power of destiny.

This seventh spirit ring is not just a matter of 100,000 years; it also allowed her to condense her natal head spirit bone—the Skull of Destiny.

Her seventh spirit ring and natal spirit bone will continue to improve as her cultivation level increases, with unlimited potential for growth.

As for subsequent spirit rings, Di Xi will need to hunt spirit beasts to obtain them.

However, with Zhou Sichen around, Di Xi naturally didn't need to worry about these things herself.

Because Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue obtained their 100,000-year soul rings through their elder brother's connections.

Cao Jinxuan's seventh spirit ring is the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye, which Zhou Sichen guesses should be the one that Huo Yuhao killed in the original novel.

However, unlike the original story, the Evil Emperor has now pledged allegiance to Zhou Sichen. In order to secure some benefits for his offspring, the Evil Emperor ultimately chose Zhou Sichen's second younger brother, Cao Jinxuan.

The reason for choosing Cao Jinxuan was that he had a close relationship with Zhou Sichen and thus received the most resources.

Secondly, Cao Jinxuan's talent indeed gave him the potential to reach level 100 and become a god, and this offspring of the Evil Emperor also inherited a trace of the power of time and space that he had comprehended. In this way, it would be a perfect match for Cao Jinxuan's Time-Passing Bell Martial Soul, so the Evil Eye became Cao Jinxuan's soul spirit, granting him a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.

Long Xiangyue's seventh spirit ring is a thorn dragon with 100,000 years of cultivation in the Star Dou Great Forest. This thorn dragon is a confidant of Di Tian.

Even if Di Tian envies Xue Di and Xie Di, he can never become anyone's soul ring because he has the responsibility to protect the Star Dou Great Forest and his master.

However, as the leader, Di Tian also sought benefits for his close confidants. He entrusted the 100,000-year-old Thorn Dragon to Long Xiangyue, which was similar to the Evil Emperor's idea of ​​entrusting his offspring to Cao Jinxuan.

All of this is so that they can ascend to the divine realm together with their host after reaching level 100.

Thorn Dragon was already proficient in the Dao of Space. After becoming Long Xiangyue's soul spirit, it greatly enhanced his spatial skills, making him no less than a Title Douluo with a space-attribute martial soul!

The 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone bestowed upon Long Xiangyue naturally greatly increased his strength.

With Zhou Sichen as their elder brother, and their own talents being among the best in the world, they naturally had no shortage of these resources.

That's why they have the strength they have today.

Although He Caitou's cigar martial soul still has the configuration of two yellow, two purple and three black, his sun martial soul is his real trump card.

After returning to Douluo Continent, He Caitou added two more ten-thousand-year soul rings to his second martial soul.

Although it currently only has five spirit rings, the fifth spirit ring of the Sun Martial Soul has already reached 70,000 years.

If he continues to improve his physical abilities, his sixth spirit ring might reach the 100,000-year level.

Even if things don't go perfectly, one can still achieve a seventh spirit ring that is 100,000 years old, just like Vina.

By then, everyone will start with a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and the power of the Sun Martial Soul will far surpass that of others at the same level. This is He Caitou's advantage.

At this moment, the martial souls of all the Shrek Academy students were revealed, and Xu Tianran, who was seated first in the VIP section, had a change in his eyes.

He knew that these geniuses from Shrek Academy were all seventh-ring Soul Saints, but considering that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had already broken through to the seventh ring, although he was surprised, he could barely accept it.

However, it is hard to accept that three of the four Soul Saints possess 100,000-year Soul Rings.

Even though Xu Tianran could already tell that this was definitely an effect of the Soul Spirit Technique, he still found it hard to accept!
For the past few years, the Sun Moon Empire has been trying to replicate the Soul Spirit Technique, but in the end, they have not succeeded.

Even imitation is impossible. The Soul Technique seems simple, but the core Soul Transformation cannot be learned even if you rack your brains without someone teaching it.

That is why Xu Tianran was so distressed and wanted to speed up the process of unifying the continent.

Seeing the spirit ring configurations of Cao Jinxuan and the others, Xu Tianran became even more determined in his heart.

If the Spirit Pagoda continues to enhance the power of the three major empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, it will be difficult for the Sun Moon Empire to unify the continent again.

Such a groundbreaking product should belong to the Sun and Moon Empire!
Once he can unify the continent, the Soul Spirit Technique will be at Xu Tianran's disposal!

Thinking of this, Xu Tianran felt a little better.

He looked at Zhongli Wu and Jing Hongchen: "Grand Preceptor, Hall Master Hongchen, now that you've seen the strength of Shrek Academy, what are your thoughts?"

As if he had expected this, Jing Hongchen shook his head helplessly: "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's chances were already slim, and now that Shrek Academy has three 100,000-year soul rings, their chances of winning are even lower."

Zhongli Wu also looked solemn at this moment.

If the four Soul Saints of Shrek Academy all had normal Soul Ring configurations, he felt that Yan Feng could still try his luck with that secret technique.

Now, he's absolutely certain that even if Yan Feng goes all out and uses that secret technique, he might not have a chance.

Zhongli Wu himself possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring, so he was well aware of its power.

He also tried to research and replicate the Soul Technique, although he failed again, but he still gained some understanding of the Soul Technique.

In his view, the 100,000-year soul rings of the three Shrek Academy students must have become soul spirits. If so, then counting the three 100,000-year soul spirits, that would make a total of seven Soul Saint level experts.

Even with Cao Jinxuan and the others' current strength, it's not enough to support a 100,000-year-old soul for too long.

But such an overwhelming battle can probably be over in the blink of an eye.

In this case, even Zhongli Wu couldn't guarantee it.

Zhongli Wu replied, "Your Highness, even if Yan Feng is defeated, won't they eventually still come under Your Highness's rule?"

At this point, Zhongli Wu chuckled softly, "The stronger they are, the more talented people Your Highness will have in your hands in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Tianran's mood improved completely; flattery never fails.

Even Xu Tianran enjoys the feeling of being flattered.

Jing Hongchen, standing to the side, curled his lip; he also had his own judgment.

The rise of the Spirit Pagoda showed him another path for Soul Masters. The reason he now submits to Xu Tianran is only because of the latter's ruthless methods.

If Xu Tianran were to pass away in the future, he wouldn't mind making a more correct choice.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen looked at the figure beside Du Busi.

Jing Hongchen murmured to herself, "Zhou Sichen, how much have you grown now?"

Zhou Sichen is only eighteen years old this year, old enough to participate in this competition, but the other party did not participate.

What does this mean? It means that Zhou Sichen's strength has surpassed that of the three 100,000-year soul ring holders on the field.

Although Jing Hongchen didn't want anything to happen to the empire, if things really turned out differently in the future, he could choose Zhou Sichen.

At least this is something he has carefully studied for three years.

Although he still couldn't see through Zhou Sichen, he was certain of Zhou Sichen's sincerity at that moment regarding the development of soul tools.

For Jing Hongchen, nothing surpasses his love for his country and family; it is only the soul tool industry to which he has dedicated his life.

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later, things that will happen when things actually reach that point in the future.

Right now, Jing Hongchen is just focused on watching the game and looking forward to the outcome.

Upon seeing those three 100,000-year soul rings, Jing Hongchen knew that his grandson and granddaughter were most likely doomed to lose.

However, the power of the Martial Soul True Body level's lingering attachment to the mortal world should not be underestimated; who knows?
People naturally place high hopes on the future, and Mirror Red Dust is no exception.

After both sides released their martial spirits, Zheng Zhan quickly recovered from his shock and stopped looking at the three 100,000-year soul rings.

He just felt that young people nowadays were too monstrous, treating 100,000-year soul rings like they were free.

If he had been able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring back then, he would probably be a Super Douluo by now.

While I may feel envious, I still need to do my job well.

Zheng Zhan withdrew his gaze and said in as calm a tone as possible, "The first match of the first round of the semifinals, Shrek Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, team battle, the match... begins!"
