Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 499 The New Tournament Officially Begins

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Mainland Elite Tournament —

Officially open!

As the participating teams arrived in Wuhun City, they could see several soul tools used for filming floating in the sky. These tools formed a long line that led towards the coastal area where Tiandou and Xingluo meet.

This left the participants somewhat confused.

When all the teams arrived at the center of Wuhun City—the Wuhun Grand Arena—it was already packed with spectators. In the very center of the arena, there were six towering soul guidance screens, each twenty meters long and ten meters wide, which together formed a hexagonal display.

After Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, appeared, the entire audience fell silent.

"Welcome everyone to Wuhun City for the new Continental Elite Tournament. This year's tournament has different rules than in previous years, as you've all heard—"

"As long as you are of the right age and have no criminal record, you can form a team and sign up enthusiastically."

"The reason is simple: to give all commoner Soul Masters who cannot join advanced academies a chance to showcase themselves. Perhaps they... no, it should be you!"

"Perhaps some of you will be able to demonstrate talent and ability in certain areas that are no less than those of students from advanced Soul Master academies."

Bibi Dong's words were very honest and won cheers from all the commoner soul masters present.

But the disciples and elders of the sects, especially the Haotian Sect which announced its return to seclusion, were disdainful—

How can the trash martial souls of ordinary soul masters compare to their Clear Sky Hammer?

What kind of talents can they display?

They're nothing but ants!

"That's Tang San!" The Seventh Elder noticed Tang San sitting next to Bibi Dong, a dangerous glint in his eyes, and said to Tang Xiao, "He does look quite presentable."

This time, the Haotian Sect was participating in the competition, and Tang Xiao personally led the team, while Tang Hao guarded the sect.

reason--

Tang Xiao mainly didn't want the father and son to meet, as it would only create awkwardness and could even lead to a fight, which would be a disgrace to the entire Haotian Sect.

Secondly, Tang Xiao felt that after handling so many affairs over the years, he needed to get out more and relax. He also felt that Hao Di couldn't just keep swinging the hammer; he needed to learn to be more mature. Moreover, he had accumulated too much killing intent in the City of Slaughter and needed to cultivate his character.

Finally, he needed to confirm one thing—

Tang Yuehua hadn't returned to the sect for a while, and the funds and supplies she sent to the sect were decreasing month by month... He suspected that Yuehua might be gathering intelligence in Wuhun City, and was being targeted and suppressed by the Wuhun Hall.

"Seventh Elder, don't cause trouble. We came out this time to restore the prestige of Haotian, not to make things difficult for the Spirit Hall," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice. "If the Spirit Hall doesn't bring up the past, we won't cause trouble either. Everything is for the glory of the sect! Also, you really can't beat Tang San now."

The Seventh Elder's face darkened.

He understood the logic and the situation perfectly. If he dared to rush out, Tang San might not even need to get up. He could just raise a finger and say "Kneel down," and Tang San would probably be pressed to the ground, unable to get up again.

But how can one vent the anger in their heart?

They can't beat Tang Hao...

He's even less likely to beat Tang San...

Even though he has become a Title Douluo and is among the top people on the continent, why does he still have to suffer?

Grief and indignation!

resentment!

Unwilling!

In the end, it all turned into a helpless sigh: "In order to restore the prestige of the Haotian Sect."

At this moment, Bibi Dong had finished speaking and said, "Next, please welcome Tang San, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, the Silver Blue Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire, a theoretical master of spirit cultivation, and one of the explorers of spirit tool research, to explain the rules of the preliminary rounds."

With a bunch of prefixes around his head, Tang San glanced helplessly at Bibi Dong, who had a half-smile on her face, and slowly stood up to announce the preliminary rules for this year's competition: "Ahem, hello everyone, I'm Tang San. I won't say much, since you all don't like listening to those flowery opening monologues anyway..."

Yu Yuanzhen slapped his hips with both hands and said, "This Tang San is quite honest."

Yu Luomian shook his head and said, "This personality isn't really suitable for interacting with nobles..."

Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting relatively close to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, spoke up: "Now, Tang San doesn't need to worry about what others think. Who can say anything bad about him?"

"And this genuine nature is the most precious and rare thing!"

As for Ning Fengzhi, he naturally had to protect his son-in-law.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian looked at each other, speechless—they knew you had a good son-in-law, but there was no need to show off to them like this.

"Speaking of which, aren't your sect and the Haotian Sect quite close?" Yu Luomian glanced at Tang Xiao and the others sitting in the ordinary competition area and asked Ning Fengzhi, "Why don't you go and visit them?"

"Although the three upper sects are closely connected, the Haotian Sect has taken the initiative to sever this connection, so we can't just keep trying to curry favor with them," said Bone Douluo, who was sitting next to Ning Fengzhi, on his behalf.

Profanity should not come from the mouth of a sect leader.

Yu Luomian nodded: "That makes sense."

Among the three sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has the most distant relationship with the Clear Sky Sect. Before the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain, it mostly relied on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to maintain relations between the two sects.

Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has distanced itself from the Clear Sky School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan no longer needs to sever ties with the Clear Sky School. In any case, direct disciples of the sect will never intermarry, and even if a direct descendant awakens a martial soul other than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, they cannot be used as a marriage partner.

"...Regarding the rules for the preliminary rounds, because the restrictions on the number of participants have been relaxed, there are so many participants that the Spirit Arena is almost full. Therefore, with the participation of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Lego, and the Federation Chief of the New Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng, as well as myself, the rules have been jointly drafted—"

"The qualifiers will be played in battle royale mode."

"Those who watched the final championship match of the last tournament should know about the final free-for-all, right? This year's knockout stage will also use the same format, except that there will be a few more teams competing in the same venue."

"Ten teams per group."

"That is, seventy people compete on the same field. They can cooperate with each other, but please remember that only one team can advance in each round."

The hearts of all the participating teams sank.

This rule means that, apart from your own team members, you cannot completely trust other teams when cooperating with them; you need to be constantly on guard.

Even members of one's own team could "betray" them.

After all, a large portion of the team members present were not students from the academy, but rather private groups. Given enough profit, abandoning the competition or betraying the team was a possibility.

"The official competition venue is on a deserted island near the mainland."

"Your first step is to arrive at the designated competition location within the allotted time, or you will be eliminated immediately. And the direction—"

"The aerial photography equipment has already given instructions."
