Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 137: The Vision of an Emperor
Waving your hand doesn't mean you're refusing; it simply means you don't need an amplified soul tool.

For Zhongli, whether or not he has a megaphone does not affect his ability to speak or to convey his voice to everyone present.

Xu Jiawei showed no disappointment upon seeing this, and his face remained smiling.

Zhong Li stood with his hands behind his back, looking around, and said, "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has a long history, and it brings together the best of the younger generation on the Douluo Continent."

"This is my first time watching a match, but I can already imagine how exciting it will be."

"Here, I need to thank Xingluo, Tianhun, Douling, and the Sun and Moon Royal Family for their invitations. Only then could Liyue obtain a spot in the competition. Otherwise, Liyue would not have been qualified to participate..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes twitched, and they were speechless.

If Zhongli really cared about the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, how could he not have a spot to participate?
As gods, who would dare to disrespect Liyue?

What surprised everyone was that Liyue's spot in the competition was actually invited by the royal families of four countries at the same time!

This was unexpected, yet also quite reasonable.

"Here, I wish everyone the best of luck in achieving great results."

"Of course, as one of the invited judges, I feel it is necessary to remind everyone not to resort to any means to win and violate the competition rules."

Yes, Zhong Li is one of the judges this year!

This was something Xu Jiawei personally invited him to do before the competition.

With the God of War himself serving as a judge, who would dare to violate the competition rules?

Although Zhongli did not use an amplifying soul tool and his voice was not loud, it was still able to be accurately transmitted to everyone's ears.

None of the people present felt anything was amiss about this.

Any titled Douluo could do this, let alone a god-level powerhouse!
As Zhong Li sat down again, Xu Jiawei picked up the megaphone again and explained the competition rules and the rewards for the champion, runner-up, and third place.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

This is an eternal truth.

Each year, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament offers generous rewards, showcasing the grandeur of a great nation.

The rewards will be replaced by high-level soul tools or soul bones.

The reward Xu Jiawei prepared this time was soul bones, and not just one soul bone, but ten soul bones!

The champion team selects seven pieces, the runner-up selects two pieces, and the remaining soul bone belongs to the third-place team.

A full ten soul bones—the reward is incredibly generous!
Of course, Xu Jiawei did this for a purpose!
This year's champion is practically a sure thing for Liyue Academy. Investing these Soul Bones in Liyue would be a wonderful thing!

He didn't feel sorry for her at all!
Tens of thousands of viewers had all heard of the legend of the God of War Zhongli, but not all of them had actually seen Zhongli.

Now that I see him, I can only feel that this Martial God is indeed quite young and handsome.

However, judging from Zhong Li's behavior, he is not a young man, but a seasoned old man!
"The God of War is so handsome!"

"It's a pity that the God of War doesn't seem to have much interest in matters of love and intimacy..."

Don't say it, really don't say it.

The name of the God of War has resounded throughout the continent for so long, yet there has never been any rumor about him having any confidantes or scandals.

I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it!

Although there are women around the God of War, they are either subordinates or have other relationships with him; they are definitely not his spouses. "Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the God of War was able to become a deity!"

"Without the entanglements of romantic love, I can focus solely on cultivation and break through to the god level..."

"Rumor has it that princesses from various countries are quite fond of the God of War, but the God of War has no interest in any of them whatsoever..."

"What's wrong with the princess? Haven't you seen His Majesty Xu Jiawei? Are you all little fans of the Martial God?"

Princesses are unattainable beings in the eyes of ordinary people, but a god is a god after all!
They are not even on the same level of life!
Princess, you are just a mortal, a handful of dust a hundred years from now.

Gods, however, are immortal beings.

Of course, there have been instances of gods falling in history, especially the angel god and the Rakshasa god, who fell shortly after becoming gods.

"Perhaps only a god is worthy of the God of War!"

"Who says it's not..."

When such remarks were heard, some women felt ashamed and had thoughts they had never had before.
Become a god!

There may not have been a chance before, but Zhongli has already become a god. If one can become a god with Zhongli's help, then there will be a chance.
After Tang San became a god, didn't he also help the other Shrek academy students become gods?

The idea is just an idea; we need to wait until after the competition to consider how to implement it.

After a while, the elimination rounds finally began.

Perhaps to accommodate Liyue Academy, the opening ceremony, which was also the first match, was between Liyue Academy and Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Logically speaking, this match should be between Star Luo Royal Academy and their opponents, since this is Star Luo's home ground, and this unspoken rule has existed for thousands of years.

Whoever has the home field gets to go first and take the lead.

However, the Star Luo Empire actually changed this unspoken rule and arranged for Liyue Academy to go first.

"As expected of the Star Luo Emperor, as expected of Xu Jiawei, their vision is truly grand!"

Those who understood why Xu Jiawei did this couldn't help but praise him. Even though the four countries were rivals, they had to admire Xu Jiawei's vision.

They had heard about Xu Jiawei's achievements during this period, and they were all somewhat ashamed of themselves!
For an emperor to go to such lengths to please Zhongli is truly... shameless, yet admirable!

If it were Xu Jiawei, they might not have been able to do this. Even if they were outwardly respectful to Zhong Li, they wouldn't have lost face.

At the same time, everyone at the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy trembled involuntarily.

When they found out who their opponent was, they felt like the sky had fallen!
Isn't this a one-round exit?
Of all people to meet, you met the most formidable champion: Liyue Academy!

"Gentlemen, even if we lose, we must play with style!"

"Liyue Academy is indeed very strong. Losing to them is not shameful!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but stroke their chins.

That makes sense, but isn't it a bit too unlucky to run into the opponent in the knockout stage?
"We can explain our loss to Liyue Academy by bad luck, but how do we explain our loss to other academies?"

"!!!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and their fighting spirit was instantly ignited!
Yes, is it shameful for them to lose to Liyue Academy?
Whoever plays will lose.
