In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Where did Chapter 232 break the rules? Speechless.
Just as the contestant from Mingdu Royal Academy took out a Level 6 Soul Guidance Cannon, the referee immediately swarmed over like a vicious dog that had spotted dung.

The next second, he placed his hand on the soul-guided cannon and said, "Student, your soul-guided device violates the rules."

"What's wrong with it? Where is it wrong?"

Wang Guocheng looked at the Level 6 Soul Guidance Cannon—the Piercing Cannon—in his hand with great seriousness.

The most powerful single-target destructive soul-guided cannon, or more accurately, a soul-guided ray, is simply called a cannon because of its immense power.

Because it requires manual aiming and consumes a great deal of soul power, few soul masters are willing to use it.

However, high risk means high reward, and Wang Guocheng firmly believes that his skills can make up for the shortcomings of the piercing cannon.

"According to the latest rules of the Soul Battle Tournament, Soul Masters are not allowed to use Soul Tools that are more than two major levels higher than their own. Obviously, you have violated the rules, classmate."

As the referee spoke, he was about to confiscate the piercing cannon from Wang Guocheng's hand.

"More than two major levels above oneself?"

Wang Guocheng disagreed, arguing that as a level 5 Soul Master, using a level 6 Soul Tool was a violation of the rules—it was just a matter of one level!
Wang Guocheng: Are you organizers sore losers? You're resorting to such low-down tactics, you've really lost all sense of shame.

Upon seeing the referee confiscate the strongest soul tool from their team member, the teacher in charge of the Mingdu Royal Academy was the first to disagree and chose to go up and argue with the referee.

It's as if they're ready to have a free-for-all if the referee doesn't give them an explanation.

Battles at the Soul King level could quickly escalate into contests between Soul Saints and even Soul Douluos.

……

A teacher from Mingdu Royal Academy said, "Why did you confiscate my student's soul tool? Is your Star Luo Empire sore losers?"

Referee: "According to the competition rules, the soul tool used by your team is in violation of the rules."

A teacher at the Ming Dynasty Imperial Academy: "Rules of procedure? I'll break your rules, my foot!" (Unexpectedly, he's a military officer.)

Referee: "The Piercing Cannon is a level seven soul tool, but the information submitted by your academy shows that this student is only a level five soul tool master. Therefore, using the Piercing Cannon is a violation of the rules. If you insist on using it, I will disqualify your student from the competition."

In order to maintain the image of the Star Luo Empire, even when insulted, the referees maintained a smiling and service-oriented attitude, for fear of getting into a conflict with the other party.

Referee: I really didn't mean to target you.

"What did you say? The piercing cannon is a level seven soul tool!"

Upon hearing this, the teachers at Mingdu Royal Academy instantly lost their temper.

If what the other party said is true, then a level 5 Soul Master using a level 7 Soul Tool would indeed be considered a violation of the competition rules.

If I remember correctly, isn't the Piercing Cannon a level 6 Soul Tool?
Suddenly, the teachers at Mingdu Royal Academy seemed to have thought of something.

The Soul Guidance Technology of the three great empires in Douluo Continent is significantly inferior to that of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, many soul tools from the three great empires of Douluo Continent automatically decreased in level by one when they arrived in the Sun Moon Empire.

The criteria for Soul Master rating in the Sun Moon Empire are even more stringent than those in the three great empires.

As a result of this back and forth, Wang Guocheng, a student of Mingdu Royal Academy, violated the competition rules by using a piercing cannon.

All I can say is that if the three great empires had possessed even slightly more advanced soul-guided technology, they wouldn't have made such a blunder.

Or, to put it another way, if this Soul Fighting Tournament had been hosted by the Sun Moon Empire, then this problem would not have occurred at all.

Upon learning of the result, contestant Wang Guocheng smiled.

Wang Guocheng: Faced with such a reason, I really have no other options.

Because the Star Luo Empire's soul tool technology was so outdated, what was originally a level six soul tool was assessed as a level seven soul tool. What could they do?

Without the support of the Soul Guidance Device Piercing Cannon, Wang Guocheng's strength has decreased by nearly 30%.

Perhaps luck wasn't on the side of the Mingdu Royal Academy.

In the end, Xingluo National Academy narrowly won the match.

After the match, Wang Guocheng felt extremely guilty and even banged his head against the wall.

Seeing this, Xu Tianzhen quickly pulled him back.

"Guocheng, there's no need for that. We'll have other opportunities later."

"Yeah, it's a round-robin tournament now, so even if we lose a game, it's not a big deal. We can just win the next one."

……

The other team members also tried to persuade him.

"Everyone……"

Wang Guocheng was at a loss for words.

Sigh... When I get back, I'll see if I can ask my teacher for help in modifying the core formation of the piercing cannon.

Transform the piercing cannon into a Level 6 soul tool, a standard used by the three great empires.

If this situation hadn't occurred, Mingdu Royal Academy would have successfully captured Xingluo National Academy.

However, the fact that they were able to compete with the top four academies from previous years is enough to show that Mingdu Royal Academy is still very strong.

Will the next challenger be Di'ao Academy or Douling Royal Academy?

Luckin Coffee: Isn't this all thanks to me?

……

"Still can't do it?"

Outside the square, watching the Mingdu Royal Academy suffer a regrettable defeat, Bai Ran was at a loss for words.

Come to think of it, Xu Jiujiu had just done me such a big favor.

Instead of cheering her on, she hoped her opponent would win.

I feel like I'm a little bit bad.

Hmm... I'll stop selling Luckin Coffee for now. If Xu Jiujiu finds out that the reason Mingdu Royal Academy suddenly became stronger is because of Bai Ran, it will definitely be very troublesome.

Xu Jiujiu: Boss Xiaobai, you bastard!

Bai Ran: If I remember correctly, the Starlight Auction will begin in a while.

Will Xu Jiujiu send me an invitation?
In any case, it won't work whether you follow the people from the Sun Moon Royal Academy or Huo Yuhao.

One reason is that he cannot reveal his identity at the moment, and the other is that he is going to bid for the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.
