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

Chapter 120 Eye of the Abyss
The contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stared wide-eyed at the magnificent building standing on the sea, as if their souls had been ripped out and their worldviews had been completely shattered.

Even the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy felt this way, let alone the other contestants from all over the continent. Many of them still felt like they were dreaming. Everything in front of them was too shocking and unbelievable.

What was presented to everyone was a huge artificial island with a diameter of 3.2 kilometers—the Eye of the Abyss.

It presents a unique hexagonal honeycomb floating island group, composed of 1080 meticulously crafted soul-guided metal floating plates.

These floating platforms are tightly connected by soul power interlocking technology, and seven enormous soul-guided chains are anchored at the bottom. These chains are deeply embedded in the seabed, reaching the deep trenches, ensuring the stability of the entire island.

On the island, nine-tiered circular suspended grandstands rise gracefully in a spiral, with each grandstand spaced fifty meters apart and connected to each other by an anti-gravity cloud ladder.

This enormous grandstand can accommodate a total of 42 spectators, and it will become a sea of ​​cheers and shouts.

The main arena, on the other hand, is suspended in the very center of the island's base and is tightly enveloped by a layer of transparent space.

This transparent space not only perfectly isolates the battle's fluctuations, ensuring the safety of the audience, but also allows them to watch the exciting and intense matches without any obstruction.

Moreover, the island is surrounded by a 360-degree ring of water.

This water wall is truly unique; every drop of water has undergone special treatment to become an independent projection unit.

Through sophisticated soul-guided technology, it can clearly project the scene on the field, allowing spectators on the coast to watch the battle clearly as if they were there, without having to go ashore.

Moreover, soul pressure sensing seats were specially set up in the audience seats. The audience only needed to gently hold the pressure sensor built into the armrest of the seat to feel the soul power fluctuations coming from the arena, as if they were in the midst of a fierce battle, personally experiencing the shocking power of soul skills colliding, but without being harmed in any way.

The entire arena is composed of 2.5 million precious memory metal units.

These shape-memory metals possess amazing properties; they can generate any terrain scene according to the needs of the competition in just 30 seconds.

Whether it's icy glaciers, lava-filled volcanoes, or deserts with endless yellow sand, everything can be perfectly simulated, providing contestants with diverse combat environments and bringing a richer and more exciting visual experience to the audience.

This artificial island—the Eye of the Abyss—embodies the hard work and wisdom of countless people in the Abyss City. It was only after Lu Jingming spent a huge amount of money, went through countless difficult negotiations, and signed countless unequal treaties that he finally managed to get the Black Tower to personally lend a hand.

The Black Tower dispatched a large number of tireless Black Tower puppets, working day and night to complete the project. Under Keqing's design, the world-renowned competition venue was finally created.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Eye of the Abyss represents the pinnacle of soul-guided technology in Abyss City at this stage.

It can also be said to be the pinnacle of soul guidance technology in the entire Douluo Continent. At least the Sun Moon Empire could not build such an artificial island at sea.

For the Black Tower, creating such a building might not be a difficult task, but for the Douluo Continent, with its limited resources and relatively backward technology, the Eye of the Abyss is undoubtedly a miracle, a crystallization of the perfect combination of human wisdom and soul guidance technology.

For the sake of this building, and to create an unprecedentedly stunning spectacle for everyone during the competition, Lu Jingming even used his true power.

The memory metal that makes up the arena does not come from Douluo Continent, but from a distant other world that has transcended time and space.

This Eye of the Abyss, which defies the laws of physics and is full of fantastical elements, is Lu Jingming's trump card, meticulously prepared for this Soul Master Competition.

Judging from the sea of ​​people on the coastline and the shocked expressions on the faces of all the contestants, he had clearly achieved his goal, and the effect far exceeded his expectations.

Under Lu Qingluan's orderly guidance, the contestants filed onto the Soul Guidance Warship that was quietly moored on the shore.

The Soul-Guided Warship exudes a cold metallic luster, and its streamlined hull design not only showcases the beauty of technology but also contains powerful propulsion.

As the warship slowly started moving, the sea breeze caressed their faces, and the waves surged along the ship's side. The contestants, filled with tension and anticipation, headed towards the Eye of the Abyss.

Upon arriving at the Eye of the Abyss, Lu Qingluan waved gracefully, and a dozen or so upright Golden Guards immediately stepped out of the ranks in perfect unison.

With steady steps, they each led a participating team toward the athletes' designated rest area.

The members of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy, led by the Golden Guard, also headed to their respective rest areas.

Before them, many other teams had already reached the Eye of the Abyss.

At this moment, the team members were in their respective rest areas. Despite being in a rest area, their eyes were still full of shock and curiosity as they looked around at this place full of technology and fantasy.

The strange devices emitting a soft glow on the walls and the mysterious patterns on the floor—every detail aroused their strong desire to explore.

After safely escorting the participating teams to the rest area, the guards quickly and orderly withdrew, their actions clean and efficient, leaving no room for delay.

Wang Yan led Ma Xiaotao, Bei Bei, and other members of the Shrek Academy team into the luxurious rest area.

Upon entering this space, one is immediately struck by the rich atmosphere of technology. A huge projection screen floats in the air, flickering softly, as if waiting to be activated, while various uniquely shaped and unidentified soul tools are scattered about.

Along the way, Wang Yan and the others had witnessed too much of the amazing advanced technology of Haiyuan City. At this moment, although they were still shocked, they had gradually adapted to the impact.

"What is this?" As soon as she entered the lounge, Xiao Xiao's clear voice broke the brief silence.

She immediately noticed a delicate little booklet, quietly placed on a gleaming metal table.

Wang Yan stepped forward, picked up the booklet, and casually flipped through a few pages. He instantly understood its purpose and couldn't help but admire the meticulous preparations made by Haiyuan City. Even the instructions for using the rest room were so comprehensive.

Soon, following the instructions, Wang Yan discovered the many powerful functions hidden in this lounge.

Its projection function can display real-time match footage with ultra-high definition, and through an intelligent analysis system, it can provide team members with in-depth analysis of the opponent's fighting style and tactical characteristics.

The Soul Guidance Think Tank is a treasure trove of knowledge, storing detailed data from previous competitions, as well as various information on martial souls, all collected by Haiyuan City.

They can learn about the specific information of their opponent's martial soul based on the think tank, since not everyone knows all the martial souls.

At least for Xiao Xiao and the others, many martial souls are unknown, and the think tank can provide them with detailed information on martial souls.

Of course, the martial spirits in the think tank are only a part, not the whole picture. After all, there are all kinds of martial spirits in Douluo Continent, and mutated martial spirits are produced every year. It is impossible for the think tank to be completely correct.

The Soul Guidance Healing Chamber placed in the corner is the health guarantee for the team members. As long as they lie in it, they can quickly heal their injuries and effectively relieve fatigue, allowing them to be in the best condition for the game.

The most surprising feature is the sand table simulation function, which can build virtual battle scenarios based on the information collected by the team members, allowing them to simulate battles in advance and familiarize themselves with the opponent's combat methods. However, all of this is based on the premise that the information they collect is accurate.

The comprehensive and powerful facilities of the lounge caused a great stir among team members such as Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen, who had participated in the previous competition.

They clearly remembered the Soul Master Competition held by the Heavenly Soul Empire; the rest area was rudimentary, a world apart from the high-tech, luxurious lounge before them.

On the contrary, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi and others who participated in the competition for the first time were less affected because they had no past experience to compare with, but their eyes were also full of amazement and curiosity.

As the contestants entered the venue one after another, spectators also began to file into the stands above the Eye of the Abyss.

These spectators were all lucky ones who bought tickets early, because the Eye of the Abyss has a limited capacity, and only those with tickets are qualified to board this sea wonder and experience the passion and excitement of the competition up close.

Other spectators who were unable to purchase tickets could only watch from afar along the coastline or return to Haiyuan City to watch the match on a large projection screen set up inside the city.

Of course, this way of watching is completely different from the live experience, since the live audience pays real money to get a unique immersive experience.

"This is truly amazing! The City Lord has given us all a huge surprise!" On the stands, Wei Qianqian and Lan Yu sat in luxurious soul-guided chairs. They gently stroked the armrests, feeling the delicate and comfortable touch, and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of their hearts.

Their daughters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, are about to step onto the stage of this grand Soul Master feast as members of the St. Freya Academy's reserve team, and they naturally won't miss this rare opportunity.

Moreover, the venue setup for this competition is unprecedented, and they are determined to experience this unprecedented thrill firsthand.

"Ah! It's Miss Robin!" Suddenly, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd, drawing everyone's attention to the team that had finally reached the Eye of the Abyss.

A team dressed in gorgeous white uniforms with light purple accents slowly walked in, drawing everyone's attention.

At the very front of the group, Lu Jingming stood tall and proud, followed by nine team members including Robin and March 7th.

As the host, St. Freya Academy made a stunning entrance as the grand finale, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue.

The robin is extremely well-known among the people, and her gentle and sweet image is deeply ingrained in their hearts.

In addition, this is Haiyuan City, and as a local academy, St. Freya Academy has a natural home-field advantage, and there are countless robin fans.

At this moment, the robin, with its signature gentle smile, waved its arms lightly and interacted warmly with the enthusiastic spectators in the stands.

Every move she made elicited even louder screams and shouts from the audience, pushing the atmosphere to one climax after another.

"Robin's popularity is truly terrifying!" March 7 said, covering her ears with her hands. The deafening cheers from just now had made her eardrums ache and buzz.

But her eyes sparkled with excitement; being in such a vibrant atmosphere made her incredibly thrilled.
