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

Chapter 348 Lu Fa vs. Dai Yueyan

Above the arena, Lu Fa and Dai Yueyan had both stepped onto the stage.

All the cheers from the outside world disappeared as the soul-guided shield rose.

"Although I already know the result, I'll still ask you one question beforehand. Are you going to admit defeat?" Lu Fa asked Dai Yueyan.

The two were hundreds of meters apart, but Lu Fa's voice could be clearly heard by Dai Yueyan.

"impossible."

Dai Yueyan answered without hesitation: The Xingluo Dai family has never had a coward who flinched before the battle. If he had given up before even fighting, how could he face his sister, his father, and the ancestors of the Dai family?

Their Dai family are descendants of gods. Twenty thousand years ago, they produced two gods, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Ten thousand years ago, their ancestor Dai Yuhao also achieved the position of god after recognizing his ancestors and returning to the clan!

This is something no family on any other continent could ever compare to. Do you even understand the significance of having three deities?

Bearing the honors built by his ancestors, how could he possibly admit defeat? Not to mention, he also wanted to seek revenge on Lu Fa for the beating his sister had suffered.

"really."

Lu Fa nodded without saying anything more. He shook his arms at his sides, then took a deep breath. His entire body seemed to expand with each breath, like a lurking deep-sea monster slowly awakening.

Even from hundreds of meters away, Dai Yueyan could clearly feel Peng Pai's fluctuations in qi and blood.

Based on Lu Fa's previous matches and Long Yue's statement that Lu Fa's bloodline power might be no weaker than his, he knew that this captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had extremely powerful bloodline and qi.

His bloodline power is likely superior to mine. But so what?

Dai Yueyan stared intently at Lu Fa, appearing unusually focused.

He was not careless in the slightest, nor would he allow himself to make any mistakes. Victory in this match was paramount. He didn't care about Lufa's age; at this moment, in his eyes, there was only one opponent for whom he needed to give his all.

"Three, two, one, the match begins!" The referee, seeing that both sides were ready, announced the start of the great battle.

Lu Fa took a deep breath, continuously activating his innate secret technique. It could be said that the greatest benefit of this competition for him was that it facilitated the operation of his innate secret technique and enhanced his control over his self-created soul skills.

Unfortunately, none of the opponents he has encountered so far have been able to help him further refine his body. Hua Lantang was completely suppressed by his self-created soul skills, Dai Yun'er lacked sufficient attack power, and the others were also far inferior.

To further enhance his mastery of the innate secret techniques, he needs to find a more powerful opponent to stimulate the circulation of his qi and blood, and temper his body in battle.

I don't know if the purity of Dai Yueyan is high enough.

……

Meanwhile, inside a private box at the Xingluo Grand Gymnasium.

Ao Hongchen and his son Dang Hongchen were also watching Lu Fa's match here. Today, Ao Hongchen did not choose to watch the match from the rostrum. He believed that after his previous appearance as a warning, the Star Luo Empire would not do anything unwise.

Even if he did it, it wouldn't matter. Even though he was in a private room, with Ao Hongchen's cultivation level, it wouldn't be difficult for him to stop it before the Star Luo Empire officials could do anything. Besides, Mu Ye was watching from below the arena, so there shouldn't be any problem.

At this moment, besides the father and son, there were seven or eight other dignified representatives from the Douluo Continent delegation in the private room.

When the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy first participated in this competition, they didn't take it that seriously. Some of their important representatives were even exchanging ideas in other places.

However, as the competition progressed, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy received more and more criticism, but also achieved better and better results. The high-ranking members of the delegation representing the Douluo Continent also took notice of the competition.

They were completely unprepared for the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition; otherwise, it wouldn't have been Lu Fa and his group of fifteen-year-old children who took action.

They'll at least bring some strong, twenty-year-olds from the Federation to ensure victory. Although, judging from the current results, it seems like it doesn't matter whether they bring them or not.

The fact that seven members of their Douluo Continent team made it into the top sixteen is already very satisfying for them.

Despite being only five years apart in age, their achievement of ranking among the top sixteen of the younger generation in the entire Star Luo Empire is enough to add another merit to their mission.

They watched today's match too. Although the arrangement resulted in an internal team battle within their Douluo Continent team, it didn't matter. It's not shameful for their own people to lose to each other. It's better than losing to the Star Luo Continent team.

Although several people were eliminated, Zui Hongchen, Shenwei, Tang Wulin, and Yuanen Yehui have already entered the quarterfinals.

If Lu Fa can defeat Tiger King Dai Yueyan and the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire in this match, it will be a significant blow to the Star Luo Empire and will have a very positive impact on future exchanges between the Douluo Continent and the Star Luo Continent.

After all, more than half of the final eight were from their side. What arrogance could the Star Luo Empire's officials possibly have in front of them?

This battle was of extraordinary significance to the Star Luo Empire, and equally significant to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the entire Douluo Continent Alliance.

"Dean Hongchen, what do you think of Lu Fa's chances of winning this match?" Standing next to Ao Hongchen, Tang Bingyao, the vice president of the Federal Parliament and the leader of this delegation, asked in a low voice.

On the surface, Tang Bingyao wasn't a particularly important figure in the delegation; the leader was someone else. However, only the upper echelons knew that all the delegation's actions had to be reported to this vice-dean. He was the true head of the delegation. And this fact was known only to a select few.

Ao Hongchen glanced at Tang Bingyao. He had heard many rumors about the Vice President of the Federal Parliament. It was rumored that the Vice President was very close to the Tang Sect and was also one of the staunch supporters of the dove faction.

And that is indeed the case. Tang Bingyao is the person in charge that the Tang Clan planted in the Federation, and he also represents the staunch anti-war faction.

If the Federation were to unify the entire Douluo Star, the Tang Sect's situation would likely become extremely difficult, as there would be no good buyers for the powerful weapons they had developed.

Oh, no, I should say we can't let the Federation launch a war of aggression, otherwise who knows how many people will die. As the protectors of peace in this world, they will never allow such an evil thing to happen.

Ao Hongchen said calmly, "Perfect."

Tang Bingyao looked at Ao Hongchen with considerable surprise and said, "It seems that Dean Hongchen thinks highly of Lu Fa."

"Of course, that child already has the potential to become a strong person. Among his peers, there is no way anyone could defeat him. Even Long Yue, Lu Fa might not necessarily lose to him," Ao Hongchen said with a proud expression.

He would have several students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy participate in the competition, not only to train them, but also to ensure they would leave a brilliant mark on their future resumes.

It should be noted that their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is an academy specifically for training transportation talents for the Federation, and most of the members of the Seven Stars of Glory also have intricate connections with the Federation.

Either their parents hold positions in the Federation, or their families share common interests with the Federation. Based on this, it's highly likely that the members of the Seven Stars of Glory will be assigned to various departments of the Federation after graduation.

At this point, a good resume becomes very important. Lu Fa and Shen Wei are undoubtedly promising talents and will likely go directly to the Temple of War for further studies. However, the others are somewhat lacking.

It doesn't matter. As long as they can achieve a good ranking in the competition held in the Star Luo Continent, with the help of their family or parents, it won't be difficult for them to obtain a good position in the Federation.

To put it mildly, this was just a competition hosted by the Star Luo Empire. But to put it more seriously, they were bringing glory to their country and demonstrating the strength of their Sun Moon Federation to the people of the Star Luo Continent.

Therefore, he didn't care much about the results of this competition. What he cared about was whether the participants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could demonstrate the prestige of the alliance.

Losing doesn't matter; playing away from home and their age already put them in an unassailable position. The pressure they face is nothing compared to that of the Star Luo Empire's official officials.

Moreover, they might not even lose.

Looking at Lu Fa on the arena, a glint of light flashed in Ao Hongchen's eyes. If Lu Fa could win the championship in this competition, it might not be of much use now, but when he joins the Federal Army in the future, this resume will definitely play a certain role.

……

Above the arena, Dai Yueyan shouted, and his golden hair quickly turned white, with hair growing back, his body swelled, and his muscles bulged.

Martial Soul: White Tiger!

His eyes held a faint gold hue, with three purple and two black rings, and five spirit rings rose from his feet, his entire body radiating a powerful aura.

His Soul King level cultivation and the combination of Soul Rings far exceeding those of a regular Soul Ring meant that he was a standout among the younger generation. Apart from his special Martial Soul, Dragon Leap, he had never been defeated.

The Star Luo Empire has always revered individual martial prowess, which is one of the key reasons why he was able to stand out from among the many princes. In addition to his martial prowess, he also possesses a calm and collected mind, therefore, Dai Tianling has high expectations for him.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier"

The first halo beneath Dai Yueyan's feet had already lit up, and a faint white light shield appeared.

"It's not over yet!"

Dai Yueyan's third spirit ring also shone brightly, his body suddenly grew a head taller, his black and white fur turned golden, his eyes shone brightly with golden light, and a king character appeared faintly on his forehead.

Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

"Not enough!"

His fifth spirit ring shone brightly, and a black and white light rose from his feet, instantly covering his entire body. At the same time, a giant tiger's silhouette appeared behind him.

His hair returned to its original black and white color, but this time, he swelled up again, reaching a height of over three meters. His giant claws were six feet long, and his entire body was filled with a terrifying aura as deep as an abyss. Each hair was like a crystal.

White Tiger Demon God Transformation! Fifth Soul Skill.

Dai Yueyan went all out right from the start, unleashing two thousand-year soul skills and one ten-thousand-year soul skill in succession.

This is the strongest state of the White Tiger Martial Soul. With the amplification of the three major soul skills, White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation, Dai Yueyan's physical strength has reached a terrifying level.

Even when facing Long Yue, he was able to hold his own for a while thanks to these three soul skills.

Then, Dai Yueyan pounced on Lu Fa. His tiger claws gleamed with a sharp, cold light, inspiring fear in all who beheld them.

"???"

Looking at Dai Yueyan charging towards him, Lu Fa slowly raised a few question marks above his head. Wait, buddy, didn't you watch my previous matches? You actually charged at me without using your battle armor.

In Lu Fa's view, Dai Yueyan's move was extremely unwise. Did he also have Saiyan genes? Did he have to let his opponent beat him up for a while before he would unleash his full power?

"Never mind, just run it over."

Lu Fa also took a big step and rushed towards Dai Yueyan. With each step, his aura increased.

"bring it on."

When Dai Yueyan saw that Lu Fa didn't even use his Martial Soul, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes. Lu Fa's actions were just as he had expected; as expected, he hadn't used his Martial Soul from the very beginning.

Since his opponent hadn't even released his martial soul, he wouldn't release his battle armor first either. The reason was simple: his pride wouldn't allow him to do so.

Even though he regarded Lu Fa as a major enemy, it was undeniable that Lu Fa was indeed five years younger than him, and was also fighting on the home turf of their Star Luo Empire.

Neither his arrogance as a monster king nor his magnanimity as a prince would allow him to unleash his battle armor first. He needed to at least clash with Lu Fa to force out his martial spirit.

Otherwise, their Star Luo Empire would always seem a bit petty.

With the support of three amplifying soul skills, Dai Yueyan was confident that he would not be instantly killed by Lu Fa. If he did fall into a disadvantageous position, he could still use his battle armor.

After all, this match was far too important. Even if they lost some points, the Star Luo Empire simply couldn't afford to lose!

"Let me see just how strong your physical abilities really are." A fierce glint flashed in Dai Yueyan's eyes.

When they were about to collide, it felt like two mountains about to crash into each other.

"Boom—" The two figures collided fiercely, and golden and white light rose up at the same time.

Lu Fa's fist, gleaming with golden light, clashed with Dai Yueyan's tiger claws. In an instant, soul power and physical strength intertwined, and the violent collision seemed to create a storm around their bodies.
