Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 486 The Rules for the New Continental Elite Tournament: Preliminary Rounds

"The Spirit Hall is truly full of talented people." Xue Beng's tone was a little sour. "It seems that the Spirit Hall has a worthy successor. With Tang San's talent, he will probably be the next Pope of the Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong glanced at Xue Beng, who had been forced by her daughter to play dumb and even actually looked a bit like a pig, and said leisurely, "Let's discuss how to regulate the rules of this competition. When Tang San returns... he's already back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight, almost imperceptible ripple appeared in the space near the entrance of the Papal Palace. Tang San's figure quietly appeared, and he bowed slightly to the four people present, saying, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope, the Heaven Dou Emperor, the Star Luo Emperor, and the Lord of the Avalanche Federation."

Of the four, only Bibi Dong noticed the slight spatial fluctuations. The others, including Xue Qinghe, did not realize when Tang San had arrived. It seemed that he had been there all along, but they had simply not noticed.

A hint of shock flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes: Just what level has Tang San reached?

Dai Lego was also shocked, but he remained calm and simply nodded slightly to accept Tang San's bow.

Xue Beng was a little unhappy. After all, Tang San addressed Xue Qinghe and Dai Legao as "Empire Name + Emperor", but when it came to him, he was called by his name and the suffix "Federal Lord" was changed.

He was also a great emperor!

Bibi Dong asked, "Since you're here, why don't you participate in the rule-making process for the new Continental Elite Tournament? After that, you can go do your research."

"That's why I came here." Tang San walked to the seat that had been prepared for him. Xue Qinghe was on his left, Dai Legao was on his right, and Xue Beng was sitting next to Dai Legao.

Xue Qinghe's gaze remained fixed on Tang San, which made Bibi Dong keenly realize that her feelings for Tang San were not merely a desire for talent, but rather bordered on personal emotional inclination.

There's no other reason than that his eyes were exactly the same as mine when I first fell in love.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong suddenly became worried...

"In that case, why don't you tell us, Holy Son, how should this conference be held?" Xue Beng posed the question to Tang San, hoping he could provide a solution.

Everyone present was quite concerned about the Mainland Elite Tournament. Even though research on soul-guided weapons had begun, the use of soul masters and the use of ordinary people were completely different things.

Soul Masters can definitely unleash even greater effects when using Soul Guidance Weapons!

Furthermore, some soul-guided weapons captured from the Sun Moon Empire's army require soul masters with high soul power levels to use, otherwise they can easily harm themselves.

For example, soul-guided firearms, the standard soul-guided weapons of the Sun Moon Empire, generate a force that ordinary people cannot withstand when firing soul-guided energy bullets.

Soul tools are still for the use of Soul Masters!

However, life-related soul tools can greatly facilitate people's lives and give ordinary people the means to resist low-level soul masters.

But for at least a century, ordinary people will not have the ability to fight against Soul Masters.

This is the consensus among the major powers on the mainland.

"The rules of the competition can generally remain the same as usual, but the preliminary rounds need some adjustments. After all, the selection criteria have been broadened, and the number of participants has increased dramatically. Even some major sects will send their disciples to participate." Tang San had already come up with a solution. "In the last finals, didn't we have multiple teams fight together in one arena? We can do the same for this year's preliminary rounds. For example, seven teams can compete in the same arena, and the winning team will advance, while the rest will be eliminated."

Dai Lego nodded: "That's not bad, but then the venue will have to be rebuilt. Three months is enough time, but wouldn't that be too much of a waste of time and money?"

"We don't necessarily need to build new sites; we can just pick existing ones," Tang San said, expressing his thoughts. "This invasion from the Sun Moon Continent has alerted us to the fact that our maritime defenses are extremely weak... If it weren't for the development of life-related soul tools such as soul-guided photography devices and soul-guided telephones, which accelerated the speed of information dissemination, the Sun Moon Empire would probably have had to conquer four or five coastal cities before we were able to gather intelligence."

This reminder instilled fear in everyone.

Yes!

If it weren't for the faster information dissemination methods brought about by soul-guided telephones and soul guides, by the time they realized the existence of the Sun Moon Empire and prepared to counterattack, they would probably have already lost a lot of land to outsiders.

Coastal defense...

In the past, they didn't pay much attention to it. Even after the value of whale glue was announced and the organization trained sea spirit masters, the main focus was still on land.

But now that the Sun and Moon Empire has emerged, if we don't pay attention to the sea and are attacked by the Sun and Moon Army, we will not only lose face for us emperors, but also the dignity of an entire empire!

"So, I have an idea: to hold the qualifiers on islands along the coast of the mainland."

"These islands have diverse environments, which meets the standard of venue diversity. Secondly, it can save the cost of rebuilding the venue and reduce losses. Furthermore, after the competition, the internal conditions of these islands will most likely have been explored by the participants, which can prepare for the establishment of corresponding defense measures in the future."

"The only problem is that it's not very audience-friendly, as most people can only watch it through footage captured and recorded by the Soul Guidance Photography Device."

Bibi Dong thought for a while and thought it was a good idea. After all, there was the Sun and Moon Continent overseas. Taking this opportunity, she could help various countries bring the islands along the coast under their control. Larger islands could be used to build coastal defense cities, while smaller ones could be used to build coastal defense lines.

Anyway, the Spirit Hall will establish new Spirit Hall branches in those cities, so it won't be a loss.

"That doesn't matter. The key is to build up coastal defenses," Emperor Qinghe said first. "The original purpose of the competition was not to make a profit, but to select talents. Holding it on a diverse island will allow us to see the diversity of Soul Masters."

Bibi Dong glanced at Xue Qinghe without showing any emotion, thinking to herself: She definitely doesn't know how many gold soul coins those spectators contributed to the Spirit Hall through tickets, snacks, and the like during the last competition... That's right, Qian Daoliu doesn't care about such things, so naturally he wouldn't tell his granddaughter the specific revenue of the Spirit Hall.

It can be said that the audience of the competition is just as important as the participating Soul Masters!

However, it doesn't matter if we earn less this time. The key is to establish coastal defense. In the end, it will all belong to the Spirit Hall anyway, so let the New Heaven Dou Federation and the Star Luo Empire get busy first.

"After the great battle, it is indeed not advisable to carry out construction, and coastal defense is indeed crucial. Holding the preliminary rounds on those islands can also help us to explore the specific environment of the islands in advance." Bibi Dong agreed and even put forward another idea, "Moreover, I think that after the islands are determined, we can set up routes and let the contestants find their own way to the competition venue. Unqualified teams can be eliminated first, and then rescue ships can be arranged on the sea."

Avalanche had some suggestions on this, since among the four major forces present, New Heaven Fighting had the fewest outstanding talents. If this standard were applied, more than half of their teams would be eliminated on their way to the competition island.

But the minority must submit to the majority.

Bibi Dong even bluntly stated, "The New Heaven Dou Federation can choose not to participate."

A weak nation has no diplomacy!
