Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 186 I'm Not a Background Character

Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

This team, even by the standards of the entire Soul Master Tournament, could be considered rather mediocre or even weak. Among the seven members, they couldn't even muster a single Soul King.

Xu Yang used some underhanded methods to find out its location at the Star Emperor Hotel.

Then, using the mimicry feather to cross the dust, he altered the perceptions of those around him.

Psychological invisibility is really useful.

As for surveillance? Sorry, just look into light element control; obscuring vision is a piece of cake.

Therefore, it would be quite easy for Xu Yang to infiltrate the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Jiang Tao.

This is the captain of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy. At this moment, he is staring blankly at the ceiling, utterly dejected.

The fact that they were facing Shrek Academy in their first match was quite unusually lucky.

He is twenty years old this year. Since his martial soul awakened, he has been working hard to cultivate and has now become a level 47 Soul Master.

For the past fourteen years, he hasn't dared to rest for a single day, working tirelessly day and night. All he wanted was to shine in the Soul Master Competition, but now fate seems to have played a cruel joke on him.

The Soul Master Tournament, which he had been looking forward to for fourteen years, was like a dream, coming to an end just as it was about to begin.

He knew his talent and cultivation were not outstanding; his Soul Sect cultivation was simply no match for the other geniuses, but—

For some reason, he felt resentful.

"I can't just collapse here—"

This idea grew stronger.

"I don't want to be just a background character. Even if I lose, I want to lose spectacularly!"

Xu Yang leaned against the wall, holding the mimicry Feather Dust in his hand. He was using the Feather Dust to interfere with the captain's subconscious.

"listen to me----

"You will leave an unforgettable memory for everyone at the Soul Master Competition."

"This is a Level 4 stun grenade. Its main functions are wide-area psychological disruption and intense light stimulation. The usage method is as follows—"

This shock bomb was specially made by Xu Yang after learning about Shrek Academy's plan. It is not very harmful, but its main purpose is to interrupt Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill as soon as possible.

Even with Ma Xiaotao protecting Huo Yuhao, it would be difficult to stop him. And—he left a little surprise at the end.

Under Xu Yang's mental interference, Jiang Tao stored the stun grenade into his storage soul tool while silently chanting in his mind.

"I won't be a background character, I won't be a background character!"

Having dealt with everything, Xu Yang returned with a smile to the location of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Xu Yang, what were you doing just now?"

Xu Yang bumped into Meng Hongchen, Di Ni'er, and Zhang Lexuan, who were returning from shopping.

The three of them had noticed earlier that Xu Yang seemed a little off, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, Xu Yang's erratic behavior has been going on for more than a day or two. Every time, he likes to quietly create a big commotion that leaves everyone both amused and exasperated.

"It's nothing, just a little something to spice up this boring match."

"You'll find out in a little while."

"Such a mysterious thing, whatever, I can't be bothered with you."

Di Ni'er rolled her eyes at Xu Yang and then pulled her two older sisters toward the room.

The three of them strolled around Xingluo City for a while, discussing what fun places to go during their free time.

the next day.

The venue for the Soul Master Competition was not the Star Luo Square inside Star Luo City, but rather a temporary structure at the foot of the Star Luo Imperial City.

Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo was dressed in full regalia, surrounded by princes and ministers who lined up on either side of him, like stars surrounding the moon.

From this vantage point, you can have a perfect view of everything.

Xu Jiawei looked at the people coming and going with a smile. Everyone here had come for a reason, they had all paid for the tickets. The royal family could make a fortune just from the tickets alone.

To this end, Xu Jiawei even ordered the audience seating to be expanded considerably. Even so, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the people for the Soul Master Tournament.

Unlike the other three kingdoms, the Star Luo Empire is arguably the most fiercely warlike in terms of its people. Here, martial spirit reigns supreme, and fighting is the most common way to resolve problems.

The prevalence of this trend has also made the Star Luo Empire's army the most powerful in terms of general combat strength among the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

In terms of overall national strength alone, even if the two kingdoms of Tianhun and Douling were combined, they would hardly be a match for the Xingluo Empire.

The reason why they did not annex the other two countries was because the Sun Moon Empire in the west had always been eyeing them covetously.

The newly built competition stage of the Star Luo Empire is surrounded by 108 pillars, which are also large soul tools, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the students.

It is powered by 108 Soul Masters.

Today's match is the first single-elimination tournament of the Soul Master Competition, and also Shrek Academy's first match, so there are many more people here.

After giving a few instructions to pay attention to the safety of the crowd, Xu Jiawei kept his eyes on the Shrek Academy team.

He knew about the attack on Shrek Academy; both the White Tiger Duke and the Healer had reported it.

Therefore, Xu Jiawei specially reorganized the competition system.

The purpose was to allow Shrek Academy to qualify as easily as possible, which could also be considered a pledge of allegiance to Shrek Academy.

Around ten o'clock, everyone was settled. Xu Jiawei knew it was his turn to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare the Soul Master Tournament officially open!"

As Xu Jiawei finished speaking, everyone cheered.

At the same time, the host's voice on stage was also transmitted to every corner through the amplified soul guide device.

"Let's welcome both academies to the stage."

The students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy took to the field, but they seemed somewhat listless.

Everyone, including the teachers, looked like this after they learned that their opponent in the first round of the single-elimination tournament was Shrek Academy.

But no one noticed that their team leader, Jiang Tao, seemed to be suppressing something.

The host on stage was introducing the academy from the Douling Empire, but it seemed that no one was listening attentively.

Many people even showed signs of dissatisfaction.

The host, with keen insight, appropriately shortened some of the introduction, and then began an introduction that was remarkably similar to that of five years ago.

"Let's welcome the Shrek Academy team."

The so-called "Shrek Seven Devils," led by Huo Yuhao, stood on the field in their entirety, except for Jiang Nannan, who was replaced by Ma Xiaotao.

Seeing this one adult leading six children, not only the audience on stage, but even Xu Jiawei himself looked on with questioning eyes.

"Does my dear minister know why this is?"

Xu Jiawei asked Dai Hao, who was on his left.

After that incident, Dai Hao was recalled by him, and at the same time, he used this as an excuse to dilute some of the military power in Dai Hao's hands.

This is all to show Shrek a stance!
