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

Chapter 329 Number 444

Rumors have circulated that after this year's All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament concludes, the Star Luo Emperor will select a consort for his little princess, Dai Yun'er.

Undoubtedly, the better one's chances of being selected, the more people will sign up.

Registration is now closed. The competition will officially begin in one day.

The eleven students from Shrek Academy didn't need to go through the hassle of queuing up to register; their registration was handled directly by the Star Luo Empire.

Because Cai Yue'er had already registered them in advance, without even notifying them.

Everyone except Xu Lizhi participated in one-on-one matches. In the two-on-two matches, there were five teams, and all members participated.

Then, Xu Lizhi was selected as a substitute for the team battle.

"I'm not in the same group as him," Gu Yue said coldly, standing in front of Elder Cai. The "he" she was referring to was Tang Wulin.

Elder Cai frowned and looked at Gu Yue, saying, "I remind you, in this competition you represent not only yourselves, but also the academy. At the same time, coming to the Star Luo Empire is itself a test for you."

All your performance in the Star Luo Empire will be scored. If you do not participate, you will first be withdrawn from the future competition for the Shrek Seven Devils, and your entry into the Inner Academy will depend on your subsequent performance.

"Okay," Gu Yue readily agreed.

Clearly, Cai Yue'er miscalculated this time. Gu Yue didn't care about the Shrek Seven Devils' reputation at all. Since what happened last night, Gu Yue's mood has become noticeably more off.

"I don't mind one-on-one, but I'm against two-on-two."

But Gu Yue wasn't the only tough opponent; Fors was clearly not going to back down either.

"And what's your reason this time?"

Cai Yue'er felt a headache coming on. Fors was someone the Pavilion Master had specifically instructed her to do, saying that she would inevitably become a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda in the future, so there was no need to restrict her too much. In other words, as long as she didn't violate Shrek Academy's school rules, they didn't need to worry about her.

Fors looked at Nan Fusheng and said, "In a two-on-two match, whether it's me or Xiaoyan, whoever is on Fusheng's team will probably be unhappy with the other person, so neither of them can participate in the two-on-two match."

Indeed, in a seven-on-seven game, there are substitutes available, but in a two-on-two game, there is no such rule, meaning that substitutions cannot be made mid-game.

"Then you can team up with Xu Xiaoyan, and Nan Fusheng can team up with the others," Cai Yue'er made the decision.

"Okay." To everyone's surprise, Fors nodded, then looked at the others with ill intent, "Anyone else who dares to team up with Fusheng, I'll break the legs of any guy and Fusheng's legs of any girl."

"No, is your sexism really that serious?" Nan Fusheng said speechlessly.

Fors crossed his arms and said, "I don't care about that. Anyway, I'm putting my words here. Anyone who dares to try is welcome to try."

Noticing Fors' dangerous gaze, the others immediately looked away. They weren't kidding; judging from Fors' expression, he was clearly not joking, and they didn't want to die trying.

Seeing this, Cai Yue'er rubbed her forehead, waved her hand with a headache, and said, "Forget it, whatever. If you don't want to participate in the two-on-two, then don't."

Fors didn't speak, but continued to stare at her.

"Let's leave Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan out of it too."

Hearing this, Fors nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, it's good to be a little temperamental sometimes.

Seeing this, Cai Yue'er felt even more exhausted. Forget it, both Fors and Gu Yue were destined to be members of the Spirit Pagoda. Their chances of acquiring the title of Shrek Seven Devils were really slim.

Because the Shrek Seven Devils can be said to represent the face of Shrek Academy, and almost every generation of the Shrek Seven Devils has been a member of Shrek Academy. Even these elders were once members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Na'er thought for a moment, then ran up to Tang Wulin and said with a smile, "Brother, let's team up."

Looking at Na'er in front of him, Tang Wulin was in a dilemma for the first time. He personally hoped to be on the same team as Gu Yue, but he couldn't refuse Na'er's request and hurt her feelings. "Okay."

Tang Wulin finally agreed to Na'er's request.

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Gu Yue felt a pang of pain in her heart. "I'm leaving now." After saying that, Gu Yue walked straight out of Cai Yue'er's room.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin quickly said to Cai Yue'er, "Elder Cai, I'm sorry, I'll go and try to persuade Gu Yue again." After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran out to chase after Gu Yue.

"Well then, Mr. Cai, we'll be going now."

Nan Fusheng looked at Na'er, whose expression was somewhat complicated, sighed, then said something to Cai Yue'er, and took Na'er with him.

Tang Wulin, that guy, really did the wrong thing at the wrong time again. He actually went and chased after Gu Yue right in front of Na'er.

After much coaxing and pleading, Tang Wulin finally managed to get Gu Yue to participate in the seven-on-seven game. She agreed to participate in the seven-on-seven game, and then stayed in her room all day without leaving the house.

Na'er's emotions weren't that high either. She wanted to team up with Tang Wulin because she wanted to try and see if she could rediscover the feeling of excitement she had when she first met him.

However, when she saw Tang Wulin chasing after Gu Yue, Na'er felt a little uncomfortable, but not as painful as she had imagined. At least, she didn't feel a trace of jealousy towards Gu Yue.

"I seem more interested in teaming up with Brother Fusheng and Fors than with Brother He."

Na'er was once again lost in a strange confusion. This was really too strange! Why did she have such high feelings for each of the two men?

"Am I bisexual?"

Na'er suddenly recalled a book she had once seen by chance from a senior student in the inner court, which seemed to contain descriptions of such people. Unfortunately, before she could read it clearly, the senior student hurriedly burned the book with her martial spirit.

Afterwards, he told her with a serious expression that this was an adult secret and hoped that Na'er would keep it a secret and not tell anyone. As for the contents of the book, Na'er could only learn about it when she grew up.

Na'er became more and more confused as she thought about it, to the point that her appetite decreased significantly, to only half of what it was usually.

……

The All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has finally begun amidst great anticipation.

The competition is being held at the Xingluo Grand Stadium in Xingluo City. Due to the large number of participants, the preliminary rounds will take a considerable amount of time after being grouped by the system.

To quickly reduce the number of participants, all preliminary rounds were elimination rounds; losing just one match meant ending the competition. Undoubtedly, luck played a role, but luck itself is also a part of skill.

Fairness is always relative. As Cai Yue'er once said, there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. To obtain and control fairness, one must rely on one's own strength.

Although Cai Yue'er was indeed an eccentric old woman, Nan Fusheng had to admit that while her words were rough, her reasoning was sound, and truth always lies within the range of cannon fire.

If you're the weaker party, of course you'll feel very unhappy. But conversely, if you're the stronger party, then you'll feel very happy.

I don't eat beef.

The first event was the individual competition, the most anticipated and intense competition of all. Fifty arenas were set up inside the Xingluo Grand Stadium, with matches taking place in sequence. One match ended and another immediately began, in a continuous cycle, until all preliminary rounds were completed.

Each participant has a unique electronic entry number that contains their detailed information, including the entry time. Missing the entry time results in an immediate forfeit.

The opening ceremony of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was not held at the very beginning because there were simply too many participants. The opening ceremony would only be held after the preliminary rounds of elimination.

The Star Luo Grand Stadium can accommodate 300,000 people at the same time. It is the largest stadium in the entire Star Luo Empire and even the Star Luo Continent, and it is also the most advanced stadium in terms of facilities.

Before the competition even began, all tickets had already been sold out, and with so many participants, the Star Luo Empire's official revenue from these sources alone was enough to cover the competition's expenses.

Moreover, there's the Soul Guide livestream covering the entire continent, and watching it requires purchasing broadcasting rights. The Star Luo Empire's official team is already adept at generating revenue from developing the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament.

Even ordinary people harbor a desire to become Soul Masters, and watching such a thrilling match is like a festival for them. Therefore, the atmosphere of excitement wasn't limited to Star Luo City; it permeated the entire Star Luo Continent.

Because the order of participants is randomized, the competitions for the Shrek Academy students are not concentrated on one day.

Nan Fusheng's drawn number was very easy to remember: 444, a number that looked terrible.

His match was on the first day. Somewhat coincidentally, apart from Gu Yue and Fors who refused to participate in the individual competition, Tang Wulin and Na'er were also competing on the first day, just like him.

Yes, Fors also refused to participate in the individual challenge. In her words, she didn't think anyone could beat her one-on-one, so she wanted to take on seven opponents at once.

Everyone else's matches were on the second and third days.

The area around Xingluo Stadium was packed with people, and many streets had been closed off. Nan Fusheng and his two companions, relying on their electronic participant badges, finally managed to enter the stadium through the designated participant entrance.

Upon entering the stadium, the first thing he felt was the incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere emanating from the stands.

Cheers rose and fell like crashing waves, the enormous sound making it difficult for people to hear each other even when they were close together.

That was the cheers of 300,000 people!

Inside the large stadium, rows of competition stands stand side by side, each protected by a dedicated soul-guided shield to prevent mutual interference or energy leakage.

"What a pity, I haven't fully digested the Sequence 3 potion yet, otherwise this would be a great stage," Nan Fusheng thought to himself, feeling regretful.

Nan Fusheng took out his electronic card and glanced at it. Judging from the current progress of the competition, he would be able to start his match in at most half an hour. His opponent was card number 338. There was no other information available.

"If the opponent is strong, then pretend to be weak; if the opponent is average, then you cannot afford to lose."

Nan Fusheng pondered to himself that he would eventually have to visit Shrek Academy's inner courtyard; there were still things he wanted there. At the same time, there was another person he wanted to turn into a clone.

If he succeeds, it will likely provide significant assistance to his soul master clones as they embark on the path to godhood in the future.

As for how to distinguish the strength of an opponent, Nan Fusheng also has his own set of judgments, which is to see if the opponent is a One-Word Battle Armor Master.

With the exceptions of Kailufa and Fors, most one-word battle armor masters must have a cultivation level of at least Soul King, otherwise their bodies cannot withstand the burden of the battle armor.

If the opponent is a one-word battle armor master, then Nan Fusheng will take the initiative to admit defeat when he forces the opponent to reveal their battle armor. After all, it is difficult for a spirit-type soul master to fight a powerhouse comparable to a soul saint.

In this situation, others don't say much; they just assume he's unlucky.

"Hopefully, my first opponent won't be too strong."

Although I don't plan to play seriously, I still have to achieve something. I need to play at least two or three matches, then face a strong opponent, and finally admit defeat.

Before long, Nan Fusheng's number was called in the stadium. Nan Fusheng waved to Tang Wulin and Na'er and went to the check-in area to register.

Competition stage number 444, contestant number 444. As Nan Fusheng stepped onto the stage, he couldn't help but have a strange feeling. His luck seemed to be running out today; four ≈ death, which wasn't a good number!

When Nan Fusheng stepped onto the arena, the surrounding soul-guided shield had not yet been raised. Hearing the thunderous cheers, Nan Fusheng felt that the sounds were so jarring.

If a normal person were to participate, they would probably be influenced by the high spirits of the audience and start getting excited themselves.

But Nan Fusheng was different; his powerful mental strength naturally made him immune to such emotions.

At this moment, a figure leaped up from opposite Nan Fusheng and stepped onto the competition stage. This was undoubtedly his opponent in the first match of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, number 338.

However, when he saw his opponent, Nan Fusheng's gaze began to turn strange.

She was a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old. She was not tall and appeared rather petite.

She wore a green short skirt that accentuated her shapely figure. She had a cute face, short dark blue hair with a yellow crown on top and two long strands tied down her back.

Barefoot, with a leg ring as decoration between her legs, seemingly to make herself look like an adult, and her fingers and toes were painted with red nail polish.

"Listen up, you over there! My name is Yun Li, and I'm the one who's going to beat you up." The match hadn't even started yet, and the girl on the other side was already yelling at Nan Fusheng.

Nan Fusheng scanned the area with his spiritual power. "Alright, judgment complete. A non-mainstream little devil."

Is the preliminary round held by the Star Luo Empire really this casual?

It's unbelievable that a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl could break in.

Nan Fusheng had easily seen through the girl's background with a casual sweep of his spiritual power: a three-ring Soul Master. She was probably the contestant with the lowest cultivation level in this elimination round.
