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

Chapter 261 Long Chen: The Time for Rise Has Arrived

This Great Arena can accommodate up to 150,000 people.

At this moment, the number of spectators gathered in this grand arena was already very close to the upper limit, at least over 100,000. They had all come specifically because they had heard the live broadcast from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After all, they didn't see the original match between Tang Wulin and his group of five because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was busy with publicity at the time, which prevented some people from having time to attend and show their support.

They absolutely couldn't miss this competition.

In addition to enduring the boos and jeers from the audience, they also had to accept the gaze of nearly 100,000 eyes from all the spectators in the stands.

Shrek's honor, the invisible pressure from the audience.

Faced with this double pressure, Xu Xiaoyan's face had turned somewhat pale. She unconsciously moved closer to Nan Fusheng.

Seeing this, Nan Fusheng also began to release his spiritual energy, enveloping Xu Xiaoyan to help alleviate her pressure. However, he couldn't completely eliminate it for her.

To become a strong person, these are all things Xu Xiaoyan will have to go through in the future. He will help her, but not blindly. Moreover, this test can also temper Xu Xiaoyan's will to some extent.

Led by Fors, the three stood in the center of the Great Soul Arena, opposite them were three students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, one male and two females.

The referee for this competition was once again Dang Hongchen. He unleashed a dazzling three-word battle armor, which hovered in the air.

"Raise the protective shield."

A layer of white, transparent soul-guided shield slowly rose from all directions, converging at a height of 100 meters. The soul-guided shield also had a soundproofing effect, silencing all noise.

"The competition rules are now announced..."

"Dragon Dust".

When Dang Hongchen finished announcing the competition rules, a tall young man on the opposite side calmly stated his name, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

"Fors Wall".

"Nan Fusheng".

"Xu Xiaoyan".

Fors calmly gave his name, and Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan followed suit.

"Snowflakes and Frost".

"Weng Daimin".

Opposite them, the two women behind Long Chen also announced their names. They were specially chosen by Dang Hongchen as backup plans.

Next, both sides began to retreat 100 meters, which is also a rule of the official Soul Fighting Competition.

Since both sides only had three people, the formation they adopted was a standard triangular battle formation.

Fors stood at the front, while Nan Fusheng behind him looked relaxed. After all, he didn't think that Long Chen and the other two could defeat Fors, even if they had a martial soul fusion skill.

Xu Xiaoyan, however, remembered the lessons learned from Tang Wulin and the others' previous defeat, and was watching the opposing team with heightened vigilance. Although Fors had requested to fight three against one, she would immediately step in to assist if the situation became truly dire.

"Sirs is standing in the main position, so she should be a power-attack type Soul Master. The boy on the left is unknown for now, and the girl on the right looks gentle and weak, so she should be a control or support type."

Long Chen looked at the three people opposite him, secretly analyzing their combat strength. He also wanted to make a name for himself through this battle.

It's important to understand that Long Chen, initially invited as a special student, was groomed as a future four-word Battle Armor Master. This was a condition promised to him by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which was willing to expend a great deal of resources to help him go far on the path to becoming a Battle Armor Master.

That's why he chose to give up going to Shrek Academy. But unexpectedly, he failed miserably in the very first class monitor selection competition.

Losing to Lu Fa would have been one thing, but after the Seven Stars of Glory were established, he was actually utterly defeated by Kamui during the vice-captain selection. This made Long Chen question his life choices. Was he really that bad?

Fortunately, he later regained his confidence through one-on-one duels with the other members of the Seven Stars of Glory. Well, it's not that I, Long Chen, am being arrogant; those two were just too freakish.

Why is it one-on-one? Don't ask, it's because if two people attack together, he won't be able to win.

There are only seven people in the Seven Stars of Glory. Apart from Lu Fa, Shen Wei, and himself, the remaining four all possess Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

He had also watched the battle where Shenwei had easily defeated the Shrek Academy five. In Long Chen's opinion, that match was a complete stomp; the Shrek Academy students were nothing special, and he could have easily taken their place.

Clearly, due to the isolation provided by the soul guide shield and the limitation of distance, Long Chen did not directly perceive the power of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline. Instead, he had the thought, "I could do it too."

Now, with Captain Lu Fa absent and Vice Captain Shen Wei away, this is practically a godsend for Long Chen, an opportunity for him to make a name for himself.

Long Chen knew very well that this match was being broadcast live, and countless people were watching. He wanted the world to know that the Seven Stars of Glory not only had Lu Fa and Shen Wei, but also him, Long Chen, ranked tenth on the list of young geniuses.

Long Chen had also reviewed the information on the three opponents; none of them were on the list of young geniuses. So, what was he afraid of? Could they possibly be monsters like Lu Fa or Shen Wei?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! The list of young geniuses is highly prestigious. It was already quite surprising to him that someone of Lu Fa's caliber hadn't made the list before.

However, that was merely an oversight by the Spirit Pagoda staff. How could someone of that caliber be so easily encountered by Long Chen? Therefore, the advantage in this battle is in my hands!

"The match begins!"

As Dang Hongchen announced his arrival, Long Chen took a step forward and charged towards Fors.

A dragon's roar resounded from his body, and then his height increased by three inches, with four purple soul rings rising from beneath his feet.

Second Soul Skill: Dragon's Roar.

Fourth Soul Skill: Dragon Power.

Having cast two amplification-type soul skills on himself in succession, Long Chen felt incredibly high at that moment.

But that's not enough!

First Soul Skill: Dragon Claw.

The Holy Dragon bloodline within him flowed throughout his body, causing his dragon claws to radiate brilliant golden light, and a layer of golden dragon scales to appear on the surface of Long Chen's body.

The Holy Light Dragon is a top-tier True Dragon Martial Soul! In terms of bloodline level, it is even a level above the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, Crimson Armor Dragon, and Blazing Fire Dragon.

Since losing to Lufa, he has honed his skills considerably, and his dragon transformation level has improved significantly.

Long Chen used all his ultimate moves right from the start. That's right, he wanted to replicate Shenwei's operation and crush all three opponents with overwhelming force.

Long Chen: "The time for my rise has come. I'll make you my stepping stones."

Then, he saw four spirit rings light up on Fors's body—four black spirit rings!

Long Chen: "Don't come any closer!"
