Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 101 The competition opens, super evolution!
Gula smiled shyly, like a shy teenager, "I've heard of the Crown Prince's reputation for virtue, and I have good hearing."

Xue Qinghe suddenly realized that there was nothing he could do about it. As a "gentle and virtuous" prince, he couldn't drive away pedestrians in a high-profile manner when traveling. That didn't fit with his personality.

The stall brought out the fragrant food, which the attendant took halfway and placed in front of Xue Qinghe.

Gula pretended to be taciturn and buried his head in eating.

Xiao Wu was not interested in outsiders. After taking a curious glance, she took the carrot fried rice and started eating.

Xue Qinghe's slender fingers rested on the edge of the celadon teacup, causing slight ripples in the amber tea in the cup.

His gaze lingered for a moment on Gula's wrist, where faint golden-red soul power flowed.

"Meeting is fate. You don't have to call me Your Highness. If you like, you can just call me Brother Qinghe."

Xue Qinghe couldn't stand the cold violence either. Seeing that Gula was going to play dumb, he could only play dumb too. It would be bad to just say directly that he had checked everything out.

Gula laughed secretly, and at the same time his mind raced, thinking about how to face Xue Qinghe.

It is definitely not possible to make enemies with him, he still has to survive in the Tiandou Empire.

It's no use making friends with them, because then, whether intentionally or not, you will inevitably be involved in palace fights and clashes between aristocratic forces, wasting time and emotions.

After a moment's silence, Gula replied with a smile, "Your Highness, you are joking. Gula is just a commoner and would not dare to associate with the royal family."

As he spoke, under Xue Qinghe's astonished gaze, Gula showed off the bowl of rice that he had eaten clean at some point, and pulled Xiao Wu onto the street.

Xue Qinghe watched Gula leave and reflected in her heart that she was a little anxious. This was not the kind of action she should take as she was someone who valued safety.

He sighed inwardly, and although he seemed calm on the surface, he actually cared very much about Gula, the ultimate martial spirit other than himself.

It seems like it would give her a companion or a useful tool when she is lonely?

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe finished his meal calmly, led his attendants to inspect the guard post at the end of the street, and returned to the palace at night.

In the days that followed, Gula stayed in the former Blue King Academy, now Shrek Academy, to practice, and occasionally went out to relax and taste the delicacies from another world.

Apart from the occasional observers who made him feel unhappy, Gula completely adapted to life in the new city.

A week after arriving in Tiandou City, the opening ceremony of the Youth Soul Master Competition was held in the Great Soul Fighting Arena. At the crowded entrance, space was automatically separated around Gula by telekinesis, allowing him to squeeze into the audience seats in a comfortable posture.

Flanders muttered quietly, his face full of distress: "Tickets for the opening ceremony are three times more expensive than usual. What a bunch of profiteers."

Yu Xiaogang had been pestered by Liu Erlong recently, and finally came out to take a breath. He replied casually: "You don't have to come. Anyway, the main purpose is to let the children see the fighting spirit. I can explain it to them myself."

The two of them bickered all the way. Flanders was very happy that his friend had come out of his decadence, and he intentionally or unintentionally provoked his emotions.

Gula listened for a while, but didn't hear any gossip, so he came back to his senses and focused his attention on the competition arena.

The opening exhibition match kicked off with a speech by Emperor Xue Ye, and Platinum Bishop Salas drew a special lottery to determine the roster for the first exhibition match.

The second team of Tiandou Royal Academy played against Shadow Academy.

Like the future Tiandou Second Team, this year's Second Team consisted of a bunch of dandies, their Spirit Power levels slumping due to drug use, their Spirit Power inflated, their combat experience lacking, and their Soul Emperor status was the end of their lives. They participated in the competition solely for gilding their reputations.

This team composed of aristocratic playboys was just as weak as people expected. Although they relied on drugs to build up gorgeous spirit rings, in actual combat, even the connection between their spirit skills was full of loopholes.

On the contrary, the gloomy students of the Shadow Academy knew their limits well and deliberately slowed down the pace amidst the flashes of swords and sabers. In the end, their performance ended with a "narrow victory", which saved the face of the royal family.

On the seventh day of the preliminaries, the days-long struggle between the weak and weak finally saw a turning point. The yawns that had echoed through the audience turned into a roar of excitement the moment the electronic screens lit up the match list—Elephant Armor Sect versus Thunder Academy, a fateful showdown of power and speed.

The Elephant Armor Sect is known for its ironclad defense, and its strength attribute is also unrivaled, but speed has always been their fatal weakness.

The seven figures of the Thunder Team flashed like lightning, and their spirit skills like thunder snakes moved across the hard skin of the Diamond Mammoth. The seemingly advantageous attrition tactics made Huyan Shan sneer.

The elephant-armor captain suddenly tore off his sweat-soaked black battle robe, revealing a round collar around his neck that gleamed with metallic light.

When the fingertips pressed on the core of the device embedded with the soul bone of the elephant king, the roar of the ancient giant elephant shook the entire venue.

"Answer the ancient call, super evolution, Diamond Mammoth King!"

A self-made super-evolution device, the voice module can be set by yourself.

It’s okay not to set it up. Gula has embedded the voice module in the soul power circuit with a sense of humor. If the voice is not set up, 20% of the amplification effect will be abandoned.

Or if the voice module emits a harsh crackling sound of soul power flowing, the soul master himself will feel irritated and it will be difficult to calm down and resonate with the bloodline.

Get excited, everyone!

Gula looked excited, and it felt like watching a special effects drama.

Huyan Shan's super evolution device is made of the treasures of the Elephant Armor Sect, the soul bones of the king of diamond mammoths after their fall.

It seems a bit wasteful to use such soul bones to make super evolution devices.

In fact, the soul bone of the Diamond Mammoth King is only a thousand years old. It is a bloodline mutation and a mutation occurred after death, which gave birth to this useless soul bone.

The Xiangjia Sect is one of the four lower sects after all, so it would not disregard its future for a thousand-year-old soul bone, especially since this soul bone is a broken left leg bone.

But when the super evolution device appeared, the value of the Diamond Mammoth King Soul Bone skyrocketed a hundredfold. Its pure bloodline was like a huge treasure that could help the Elephant Armor Sect Soul Masters discover their strength during the super evolution process.

For example, Hu Yanzhen, the leader of the Xiangjia Sect in the stands, has now broken through to the peak of level 89. He is just a little bit away from breaking through the last hurdle and becoming a Titled Douluo, making the title of Tianxiang his true title.

With a loud and vast roar that shook the world, the three-meter-tall body of Huyan Shan's martial spirit continued to expand until it became a giant of four and a half meters tall.

The audience at the scene were a little far away, and their hearts seemed to be oppressed by the giant elephant, let alone the Thunder Team who faced the Elephant King head-on.

The captain of the Thunder Team is named Lei Yu. He became the captain after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was closed. Naturally, he could not have a super evolution device. He looked solemn and his face was full of seriousness.

"Everyone, spread out and buy time. Your soul power won't last long after super evolution."

Lei Yu's martial soul is the Lightning Bird, a flying martial soul that has both attack and speed. As soon as he finished speaking, he flew straight into the sky.

The rest of the Thunder Team dispersed.

But Huyan Shan is not a fool and will not watch them disperse.

"Third soul skill, Ancient Elephant Roar!"

The giant elephant swung its diamond trunk, and the sound made everyone dizzy for a moment, their eardrums stinging, and their movements slowed down.

The lightning wings behind Thunder Captain Lei Yu fluttered rapidly, but the moment he took off into the air, he was shaken by the sonic soul skill and staggered.

Amidst the loud bangs that shook the ground, the Diamond Giant Elephant shattered the ground and leaped into the air. Its crystal trunk, which stretched out over three meters, acted like a whip of judgment, whipping the Lightning Bird in mid-air fiercely out of the arena.
