Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 117 Daydream Hotel

Xiao Hongchen's pride was well-known throughout the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Normally, he exudes an aura of confidence and arrogance, and few people are taken seriously by him.

However, this proud young man was also Lady Black Tower's most loyal admirer.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the world of Soul Masters, anyone whose path to upgrading their Soul Master level is hindered by a lack of funds and inability to afford Soul Guidance Materials feels a deep sense of gratitude towards Lady Black Tower.

If Ms. Black Tower had the idea of ​​forming a research team, a single word from her would be enough to set off a sensation throughout the entire Soul Master community.

Countless Soul Masters will flock to the scene like a tidal wave, vying to join.

Even a ninth-level Soul Master, standing at the pinnacle of the Soul Master pyramid, would likely be tempted by many.

After all, Lady Black Tower's achievements were truly dazzling. She not only created a miraculous creation like the simulated universe, but her research results in other soul tool fields were also far ahead of the entire era, unmatched by anyone.

At the occasional auctions held by the Ordinary Alliance, whenever a soul tool personally produced by Lady Black Tower appears, regardless of its level, it will trigger a fierce bidding war, ultimately fetching an astonishingly high price.

The final price far exceeded the actual value of the soul tool itself; it carried more of the soul masters' supreme respect for Lady Black Tower and their ultimate pursuit of her work.

Whether for collection purposes or for in-depth research to explore the soul guidance technology contained within, as soon as a soul guidance device produced by Black Tower appears on the market, it will be snapped up by someone at a high price.

After the initial shock, the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stepped into the two-hundred-meter-tall hotel.

This hotel, named Daydream Hotel, is an undisputed landmark building in Haiyuan City and an important property under the City Lord's Mansion.

It consists of two towers cut like blue diamonds, spiraling and rising from the ground like two giant dragons about to take flight, creating a magnificent sight.

The hotel's surface is covered with self-cleaning photovoltaic glass, which reflects shimmering light under the sun, resembling a dreamlike ocean.

At night, the built-in soul guide device begins to function, projecting lifelike and dynamic marine life light and shadow, decorating the entire hotel in a dreamlike and magical way, as if you were in an underwater world.

On the top floor of the hotel, a suspended transparent ring powered by soul energy is particularly eye-catching.

Inside the circular area, rare plants from all over the world are carefully planted, creating a lush and vibrant environment.

The built-in anti-gravity observation deck provides guests with an excellent view; simply stand on the observation deck and you can take in the entire Haiyuan City.

Upon entering the lobby on the first floor, the first thing that catches everyone's eye is the jellyfish-shaped soul power crystal cluster suspended in the center.

The crystal cluster emitted a soft light, like a dazzling pearl nurtured in the depths of the ocean.

The ground beneath our feet is even more astonishing, a deep-sea spectacle recreated using holographic projection technology.

Lively fish dart and frolic among the colorful coral reefs, giant sea turtles swim leisurely by, and occasionally a few ferocious sharks flash by. The realistic scene makes you feel as if you are really in the deep sea.

The waiters, all dressed in luxurious uniforms, were all elegant and handsome. The male waiters were tall and handsome, while the female waiters were graceful and beautiful. They greeted each guest with smiles and provided warm and professional service, exuding a luxurious and high-end atmosphere in every gesture.

Compared to the blank, shocked expressions of the other academy teams, Meng Hongchen and the others were much calmer.

Although they were genuinely shocked by the luxury and high-end nature of the Daydream Hotel, they were, after all, from the Sun Moon Empire and had seen all sorts of high-end soul tools on a daily basis, so they were able to barely maintain their composure.

Meanwhile, many of the other participating academies, especially those from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms academy teams, disregarded their image and shamefully lay on the floor of the hall, their eyes fixed on the deep-sea scene beneath their feet, wanting to find out whether it was a real seabed or a virtual projection.

After all, in this world, the sea is full of unknowns and dangers. Sea spirit beasts are numerous and powerful, and many spirit masters dare not go into the sea easily in their entire lives, let alone appreciate the mysterious and beautiful scenery of the deep sea.

Therefore, the deep-sea scenery projected at the foot of the lobby of the Daydream Hotel held a fatal attraction for them.

Led by Mr. Ma, the group went to the hotel front desk to register.

Afterwards, a staff member led them to a suite.

This is no ordinary suite, but one of the most luxurious suites at the Daydream Hotel, named Starry Dream.

There are only seven such top-tier suites in the entire Daydream Hotel. Given the status of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, staying in such a suite is naturally not a problem.

Apart from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, only the royal academies of the three great empires and Shrek Academy are qualified to enjoy such treatment.

Just as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was checking in, the atmosphere in another top-tier suite at the Daydream Hotel—Sea Rhyme Illusion—was slightly somber.

"Teacher Wang Yan, when exactly will the academy send someone? Are we really going to participate in the competition?" Bei Bei asked with a serious expression and furrowed brows, her unease evident in her expression.

At this time, Shrek Academy's regular team members were all recovering from injuries, and there were only a few days left before the start of the competition.

Beibei's worries were not an isolated case. Xiaoxiao, Hecaitou, and others also looked uneasy. The bustling scene in Haiyuan City had completely overwhelmed them.

A day earlier, they had arrived in Haiyuan City with March 7 and others. Upon arrival, they were received by the city's officials, who arranged for the city's top medical team to provide full treatment for the seriously injured Xixi and the others.

With the help of the most advanced healing soul tools in Haiyuan City, the injuries of Xixi and the other three were quickly brought under control and temporarily stabilized.

However, the situation is not optimistic. Xixi is relatively better off, but Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng are in a very tragic situation.

As a swordsman, Chen Zifeng lost an arm, and Gongyang Mo lost both legs. This was almost a devastating disaster for a Soul Master, because once a Soul Master's body is damaged, it will definitely have a great impact on their cultivation.

Gongyang Mo's Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul is a top-tier support-type beast Martial Soul, comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Without special opportunities, it can usually only be equipped with seven spirit rings, which is relatively better.

Chen Zifeng, on the other hand, was completely different. He was originally exceptionally talented and had a very good chance of becoming a Title Douluo.

But now that he has lost an arm, his hope of breaking through to the Title Douluo level has become extremely slim.

After all, Soul Emperors under the age of twenty can basically break through to the Title Douluo level, while Soul Kings under the age of twenty only have the possibility of breaking through. When their bodies are incomplete, the difficulty increases exponentially.

It's important to understand that not everyone is like Xu Tianran, possessing extraordinary talent, unwavering perseverance, and exceptional cultivation resources.

Haiyuan City certainly has the capability to install soul-guided mechanical arms and legs for them, and Shrek Academy also has sufficient funds to purchase them.

However, the surgery will require them to fully recover from their injuries, and there will be a long break-in period after the procedure, making it impossible for them to be fit for the match.

Therefore, including Xixi, whose injury is gradually recovering, only four players from the regular starting lineup will be able to play in the final match.

However, in the first few matches, the starting players all needed to recover from their injuries and detoxify. Even if they could barely fight, it would have an adverse effect on their recovery.

Left with no other option, Wang Yan could only arrange for the reserve team to participate in the first few battles, in order to buy more recovery time for the main players such as Ma Xiaotao.

However, upon arriving in Haiyuan City and seeing the bustling scene of crowds, the reserve team members couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

They all knew in their hearts that the more than one million viewers had come for this match.

Competing in front of so many people, the pressure on them, who were participating in such a world-class event for the first time, was immense.

At this moment, the best news they could hope to hear was that the reinforcements sent by the academy would arrive as soon as possible, so that they wouldn't have to force themselves to play.

Wang Yan sighed with a wry smile. The academy did indeed have inner disciples under the age of twenty, but in terms of strength, none of them could compare to Ling Luochen and the others, and most of them were out on surveillance missions.

It's probably too late to recall them and send them back to Haiyuan City.

His so-called support was nothing more than words he used to comfort his teammates.

Now, he can only hope that Beibei and the others can withstand the pressure and persevere until Ma Xiaotao and the others recover.

If Shrek Academy can hold out until then, it will still have a chance.

After all, Ma Xiaotao is a Soul Saint. A Soul Saint under the age of twenty is a dominant force in any Soul Master Competition.

Just like the previous St. Freya Academy, with two Soul Saints and five Soul Masters, they swept through the competition, and even the powerful Shrek Academy could hardly withstand them.
