Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Tu Shan Su Su, a tangled web of fate.

Chapter 14 Invitational Tournament, Liu Ming with Fire Pliers!

"Sorry, I'm not interested at the moment!"

Hey junior, wanna try the strategy guide? It's essential for skipping class!

"Is this your girlfriend?"

"."

After declining a large number of enthusiastic invitations from senior students.

Lin Jiuxuan finally got his own nameplate.

After confirming that the team invitation was correct, the admissions office staff took him to a large and spacious venue.

They conducted what was called an entry assessment.

At this time, forty or fifty people had already gathered inside the venue.

In the center is a huge arena, surrounded by three smaller arenas.

In a corner of the rest area, Qin Ming, the team leader clad in the robes of a teacher from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy,

Like a sculpture, he sits still, his gaze deep and serene.

This grand team entrance assessment was planned and promoted by him.

He was the one who spearheaded the team entry assessment.

In the past, Tiandou Academy was not weak, but the polarization between its members was very serious.

Students with mediocre talent gradually lose their motivation to move forward in the face of powerful peers.

At his suggestion, the college underwent an unprecedented reform.

Completely open up the quota for the main team.

Anyone with the potential to reach the Soul Master level before the age of 25 will receive a team invitation.

Whether you are a new student or a returning student, as long as you have an invitation.

At the start of each school year.

Anyone can challenge a member of the Tiandou team; if you win, you'll become a new team member.

If he performs exceptionally well, joining the home team is not out of the question.

"Teacher Qin, do you think any outstanding students will make it into the main team this time?"

Yu Tianheng, dressed in a golden outfit, surveyed the entire scene with his blue eyes, exuding a calm yet domineering aura.

Upon hearing this, a group of teammates behind him looked over curiously.

As the main team, they are already exceptionally strong.

Furthermore, there is a focus on allocating college resources.

Come here,

Just consider it a formality, to set a goal for a group of kids to strive for.

Although she was somewhat curious, deep down she didn't believe anyone could replace her.

"Hmm, I think it's difficult. In terms of talent and strength, if we go back several decades, your generation would be ranked in the top three."

Qin Ming turned his gaze to the students of the second team not far away. He sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Those kids in the second team, sigh, they're hopeless!"

"However, you should not be arrogant. You should know that there are always people better than you and there is always something beyond your understanding. You should not limit your vision to the academy."

Look to the entire Douluo Continent, and remember your goal is the Soul Master Tournament championship!

Qin Ming looked at the group of arrogant students and said with some concern.

"In time, although the academy's training conditions are good, they are too comfortable. After a while, I will take you to the Soul Arena to hone your skills."

"The teacher is right. How can a tree grow into a towering giant without experiencing wind and rain?"

"However, no matter who the opponent is, I believe they will fall at our feet."

Dugu Yan played with her hair with one hand and said in a relaxed tone.

"That's right, as long as the boss gives the order, whether it's the Star Luo Team or the Spirit Hall Team, we'll crush them all!"

The Graphite Brothers, rubbing their hands together, shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

Ye Lingling stood quietly to the side, even though she was in the crowd.

But her otherworldly aura made her seem as if she were in another time and space, isolated from the world.

"The Education Commission is here!"

The group wanted to boast a little longer, but upon hearing the shouts from inside the venue, they quickly straightened their appearance and stood obediently.

The newcomer was a chubby middle-aged man.

He was unremarkable in appearance, yet he exuded a powerful aura.

Two elderly men in teacher uniforms accompanied him.

"I've met with Education Commissioner Bai."

"Looking at this thriving scene, I am very satisfied. Today, you are all indispensable members of the academy."

From now on, you will become the pillars of the empire, bearing the glory of the empire on your shoulders. You must not slacken in the slightest, lest you waste your time.

Bai Baoshan stood on the main stage and spoke in a solemn tone.

"I hereby declare the third Heaven Dou Royal Academy Invitational Tournament officially open!"

"Director Liu, Director Thomas, thank you for your hard work from now on!"

After speaking, Bai Baoshan stepped off the stage and patted one of the older teachers on the shoulder.

He then went up to the spectator stands alone.

"Do your best!"

Qin Ming, who was standing on one side of the ring, gave a few words of advice and then went up to the spectator seats.

At the same time, a middle-aged female Soul Master walked towards them from the other side of the arena.

Their eyes met, and a subtle tension filled the air.

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Ming, the chief referee for this invitational tournament."

"I believe everyone is already familiar with the rules of the invitational tournament. However, to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, I would like to emphasize them again."

Liu Ming had a head of white hair and a thin build, looking frail, but no one in the audience dared to underestimate him.

One of the three great demons of Tiandou Academy, the Discipline Director, nicknamed "Fire Pliers Liu Ming," is no joke.

76, Battle Soul Saint, Martial Soul, Fire Dragon Claws.

He was born with immense strength, and it is said that even some Soul Masters were ashamed of their own strength.

There are even rumors.

This Director Liu, in his youth, was fond of fighting and had crushed dozens of male eggs.

Even a male cat in heat would have to tuck its tail between its legs and run away if it got a glare from him.

"The rules of the invitational tournament are very simple. Every student here who can defeat anyone next to them will have the opportunity to challenge Team Tiandou 2."

Liu Ming said in a calm tone.

"But please remember, both the challenger and the challenged only have one chance."

His words carried an unchallengeable air of authority.

"If you can defeat the members of the second team, then you can take their place and become one of them."

"The second team can also challenge the home team."

"Of course, support-type and food-type Soul Masters are not without a chance either."

"You will be personally assessed by Director Thomas."

After Liu Ming finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and nodded to the old man beside him.

Below the arena, Lin Jiuxuan combined the information he had obtained with Liu Ming's explanation.

He had already figured out the rules of this invitational tournament.

He came here to join the team and increase his chances of getting to know Dugu Yan.

Although they are in the same college, what is their status?

The granddaughter of a Title Douluo!

Even a princess would be inferior in status.

Why should I care about you, a fallen nobleman with only a marquis title?

Moreover, even if some information were revealed to her in advance, given the old poisoner's personality...

He couldn't guarantee he'd make it out of the hot pot restaurant alive.

It would be safer and more secure to cultivate a good relationship with Dugu Yan and proceed cautiously.

Besides, with his foresight, he could easily sabotage the little scoundrel's entry into the hot pot restaurant with a little trickery.

There's no rush.

"Let's go, you silly fox, it's our turn to perform!"

Lin Jiuxuan spotted a ring, grabbed Su Su, and jumped onto it.

"Lin Jiuxuan, Level 23, Control-type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Tushan Susu!"

After saying that, he revealed two dazzling soul rings, one yellow and one purple.

"Zhang Shan, Level 25, Power Attack Type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Black Wolf"

The burly young man opposite him was stunned for a moment when he saw the two people coming up directly.

However, when Lin Jiuxuan released his spirit ring and announced his name...

The audience erupted in uproar.

"What?! The second ring of the millennium?!"
