Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 252 The Great Soul Arena

"I'll wait until that child returns to the academy and see if he's willing to become my disciple," Ao Hongchen thought to himself, stroking his beard.

However, even if Lu Fa is unwilling to become his apprentice, he will still teach him properly, since Lu Fa possesses unique advantages in both forging and cultivation.

Lu Fa's powerful martial spirit almost destined him to become a strongman, along with his terrifying talent in forging and crafting.

In Ao Hongchen's opinion, Lu Fa should actually give up being a mecha maker and focus on learning forging, so that he can better utilize his talent.

"Let's talk to him about this after he becomes his disciple." Ao Hongchen has already accepted Lu Fa as his disciple. Why would he be so confident?

Just kidding, he's an eighth-level Saint Craftsman, and also a level ninety-nine Title Douluo and a four-word Battle Armor Master. In terms of combat power, there are only a handful of people in the world who can surpass him.

Even if Lu Fa might not become his disciple, that's a very slim possibility. Under normal circumstances, who wouldn't want to become the disciple of a four-word battle armor master?

Not to mention, he's also the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the patriarch of the Red Dust Clan. The connections and resources he possesses are truly terrifying!

"Father, Father?" At this moment, a voice brought Ao Hongchen back to his senses; it was Dang Hongchen calling him.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Father, I've checked the information on those Shrek Academy students. They're not on the list of young geniuses. As for who should fight them, besides Shenwei, who among the other four would be the best choice?"

"Xue Liushuang, Weng Daimin, Jian Mochen, and Kuang Zhantian, let's go with these four."

"Hmm!" Dang Hongchen looked at his father with some surprise. "Father, aren't you letting Long Chen participate? These four people possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Aren't you going to keep it hidden as a trump card?"

"No need." Ao Hongchen shook his head. "This competition will be broadcast live throughout Mingdu. I cannot allow failure, even if there is only the slightest possibility."

Before they go on stage, you should also remind them not to underestimate their opponents. Shrek Academy is, after all, the number one academy on the continent; no one knows what kind of trump card their students might be hiding.

"yes!"

Following Ao Hongchen's instructions, the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy began to mobilize.

In response to the upcoming match, within just one hour, all sorts of publicity had spread like wildfire throughout Mingdu and even the entire alliance.

Sun Moon Television, which spans all cities in the alliance, announced half an hour after Tang Wulin and his group arrived that it would broadcast the match live. They even named the match the "Battle of the Young Soul Masters."

The promotional time for this competition alone took two hours, which shows how much importance the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy attaches to this competition.

If we win, great; but if we lose...

The venue for this competition was chosen to be the gymnasium of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a place built entirely in imitation of an ancient gladiatorial arena.

The enormous plaza is over 1,500 meters in diameter. The surrounding stands can accommodate more than 150,000 people at once. Even on the entire continent, it's estimated that you won't find a stadium that can compare to this place.

This is the advantage of being backed by the Federation. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

At this moment, in the waiting area of ​​the Great Soul Arena, in this hall of about 500 square meters, several young men and women are discussing tactics.

"Vice-Captain, how should we arrange the tactics for later?" A slender girl with long blue-pink hair asked Kamui. She was Xue Liushuang, a member of the Seven Stars of Radiant World.

"No need to plan any tactics, I'll take care of them all by myself."

Kamui, with his black hair and golden eyes, grinned.

"This..." Xue Liushuang was speechless. Although the deputy captain of Shenwei was powerful, his personality was really... Captain Lufa was better. Although he rarely spoke to them, his personality was more composed.

Moreover, Captain Lufa is a high-level blacksmith and mecha maker. I wonder how he cultivated his skills? He looks about the same age as her, but he is far superior to them in every aspect.

As Xue Liushuang pondered, her thoughts drifted elsewhere.

The other three were adjusting their state, preparing to represent the academy against Shrek Academy. Even they couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure.

The pressure became even more pronounced after hearing the faint noise coming from outside the waiting area.

"Alright, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Don't underestimate your opponents, or you'll end up losing in the gutter." At this moment, Dang Hongchen walked in and said to the group.

"Tch, don't worry. No matter who the opponent is, I won't lose."

"The match is about to begin, you can prepare to enter." Hearing Shenwei's words, Dang Hongchen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Shenwei was indeed exceptionally talented. Even he, at the same age, was no match for Shenwei.

However, in terms of personality, Kamui is too unruly. He is basically the type who will listen to you, but whether he does it or not is his own business.

In the waiting area, two huge archways slowly opened, and the already noisy sounds suddenly became even stronger, with an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere rushing in.

The world outside the archway was so bright that some parts were impossible to see.

Shenwei strode ahead, followed by Xue Liushuang, Jian Mochen, Weng Daimin, and Kuang Zhantian.

"Shrek Academy has come to provoke us. Can we tolerate this? Students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, let's unite and cheer for our athletes! We will make the Shrek people slink back home with their tails between their legs. We will proclaim to the entire continent that we are the strongest academy on the entire continent."

As soon as Shenwei entered the Great Soul Arena, he heard this voice. Was he creating a resonance to better suppress the aura of Tang Wulin and the others later?

To be honest, this trick would probably be quite effective against students from ordinary academies, but it wouldn't be very effective against the Shrek Academy students.

Shenwei looked around. At this moment, the stands were not exactly full, but at least 60 or 70 percent full.

These people couldn't all be from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. A soul master academy having 10,000 students is already quite remarkable. It's likely that the academy opened a passage to allow ordinary people from outside to come in and watch the battle.

On the central platform, Shenwei could still vaguely sense several heavy, mountain-like auras emanating from there, likely belonging to the academy's higher-ups.
