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

Chapter 357 Award Ceremony

early morning.

The Xingluo Grand Stadium was still packed with people today, but the audience's enthusiasm didn't seem particularly high.

Nonsense! In your competition, the final champion is decided among outsiders. Who would be happy about that?

Oh, no, that's not right either. The rebel groups of the Star Luo Empire would probably be very happy. They would love for the Star Luo Empire to be embarrassed. If they could stir up a rift between the two continents and thus trigger a war, that would be even better.

Inside the stadium.

On the dais, Emperor Dai Tianling, Dean Enci of Monster Academy, Tang Bingyao, head of the Douluo Continent delegation, and Ao Hongchen, Dean of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, were all seated early in the morning.

This is a glorious moment for their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Ao Hongchen has no reason not to come.

"Silence." A deep, resonant voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire arena via the soul-guided loudspeaker, effectively silencing all 100,000 spectators.

"Now, Your Majesty, please speak."

Dai Tianling stood up, and a soul-guided loudspeaker naturally rose in front of him.

"Every time I watch the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, I feel like I've returned to my teenage years. I used to participate in the competition and achieved good results. Young people should be full of vigor and drive, and they should give it their all."

Because this is your era of passion. Youth allows for mistakes, youth is not afraid of failure. You young people only need to find your goals and forge ahead.

"It is an honor that this competition has invited a team from the distant Douluo Continent. I believe everyone has already witnessed the strength of their young generation in previous competitions."

The winner of today's competition will receive a Soul Bone as a reward, as well as additional rewards from the Empire. We will provide certain resource rewards. Of course, if the winner wishes to become a citizen of our Star Luo Empire, they will also be granted a Viscount title.

A smile appeared on Dai Tianling's face, as if she were genuinely happy for Lu Fa and Shen Wei. Putting everything else aside, her composure and acting skills were impeccable on the surface.

"We welcome all outstanding talents. Alright, I hereby declare the final of the Continental Elite Youth Advanced Soul Master Tournament Individual Competition open!"

Applause and cheers erupted like thunder. This is the charisma of an emperor.

"Now, please have the two contestants prepare to enter the arena." Fang'er's voice resounded throughout the arena.

There was no exciting music playing, nor any special program effects. The final of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition seemed no different from the previous matches.

That makes sense, since both sides are from other continents. Unless the Star Luo Empire is out of its mind, it's unlikely they would prepare a grand spectacle for them.

Lufa and Shenwei stepped onto the stage at the same time, and the referee was already waiting on the stage.

"The rules for this final match are the same as the previous matches. Ten-second countdown!"

The only difference is that the countdown to the final match is longer than usual.

"Ten, nine, eight, ..., three, two, one, begin!"

As the match began, Lu Fa and Shen Wei remained motionless, seemingly having no intention of making a move.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Why aren't those two fighting yet?"

A chorus of doubts arose from the audience. Although they didn't like these people from Douluo Continent showing off their power, the people of Xingluo couldn't deny that these two were indeed very strong.

So even though they didn't say it, many people are still looking forward to today's match.

However, the two people on the stage didn't care about the emotions of the audience and instead chatted idly as if no one else was around.

Lu Fa: "Shall we fight?"

"Fine, I hate to admit it, but in terms of strength, I am indeed far inferior to you. If we were to really fight, I wouldn't be able to beat you." Kamui shrugged, surprisingly admitting that he was no match for Lufa.

At this moment, Kamui's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he looked at Lu Fa, tentatively saying, "A simple battle is a bit boring, how about we compete in something else today?"

"Anything else?"

"Yes." Kamui stretched out his right hand and walked towards Lufa. "For example, let's use a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide the final champion of this competition based on luck."

"it is good."

"Alright, three, two, one, start." Kamui grinned, then his right fist flew out without hesitation towards Lufa.

"boom--"

A strong wind pressure emanated from the two people and spread outwards.

Shenwei's fist was firmly gripped by Lufa's left hand. Lufa looked at him and asked, "Looks like I won."

"Yes, you won."

Kamui withdrew his fist without hesitation, then turned around and jumped off the edge of the ring. The winner of this match had already been determined.

This...this...this...

The audience was bewildered, Fang'er was bewildered, and even the high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire were bewildered.

What's going on? How could this happen?

They conceded defeat? They conceded defeat before even fighting? This is the final of an individual competition! How could these two decide the champion in such a childish way?

Lu Fa and Shen Wei did not try to hide their conversation. Thanks to the amplification of their soul tools, the Star Luo people in the audience could hear it clearly.

This is more than child's play; it's downright humiliating! Do Lu Fa and Shen Wei not even take their Star Luo Empire seriously? How dare they do this in this final showdown?

It should be noted that the Star Luo Continent values ​​individual martial prowess the most. Therefore, as the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, held every three years, this competition, which determines the individual champion, has also attracted much attention. However, no one expected it to end in such a way.

After a brief moment of calm, a torrent of insults erupted from the stands, crashing towards the waiting area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy like a tsunami.

This is the Star Luo Empire. In their eyes, Lu Fa and Shen Wei's actions are blatant provocations, which are simply intolerable.

Even Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire on the platform looked displeased. However, as an emperor, he had to appear magnanimous at this moment, since it was difficult for him to find fault with anything.

Lu Fa and Shen Wei's actions did not violate the rules of this competition at all. They simply did not want to fight anymore and chose to surrender and admit defeat in other ways. Could he possibly force them to fight in the ring?

As the emperor, wouldn't it make him seem petty and narrow-minded to argue with two students from the academy?

On the podium, Ao Hongchen watched the competition. He looked at Dai Tianling apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, I am truly sorry. Our academy, in order to train these children, did not have any teachers to guide them during this competition. They acted impulsively, and I apologize to you on their behalf."

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Ao Hongchen, he wouldn't dare to offend him. Dai Tianling really wanted to slap his smiling face. Was this an apology? It was practically gloating.

The claim that there were no teachers leading the group was just an excuse; there was not a trace of apology in Ao Hongchen's tone.

"It's alright, this is also a tactical approach." The emperor of the Star Luo Empire would not reveal any of his emotions.

The individual competition of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has officially concluded.

Sunlight streamed down into this magnificent and solemn stadium, illuminating every corner. Geniuses from all corners of the Star Luo Continent gathered here, and after several rounds of fierce competition, the final victor had been crowned.

He was a young warrior from the Douluo Continent. He was dressed in white, representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Although he was in a foreign land, he stood tall and his gaze was as firm as the stars in the cold night.

The Xingluo people in the stands were still whispering among themselves, after all, an outsider had stood at the pinnacle of their country's competition.

The music for the awards ceremony began slowly, creating a solemn yet slightly complex atmosphere.

Dai Tianling sat upright on the platform. Besides him, there were some ministers from the Star Luo Empire. Although they tried their best to maintain elegance and magnanimity, their slightly furrowed brows still revealed their resentment.

Fang'er's voice rang out at this moment: "Everyone, today we will witness the awards ceremony of this great competition. After countless struggles and competitions, the champion of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has been born."

He is Lu Fa, the strongest genius from the birthplace of our Star Luo Empire, who holds titles such as the number one genius of Douluo Continent and the youngest Saint Craftsman in history.

As Fang'er finished speaking, Lu Fa slowly walked onto the stage. Every step he took was steady and powerful, as if treading on the heartstrings of every audience member. When he stood in the center of the stage, all eyes were on him.

Dai Tianling picked up the trophy that symbolized the glory of the champion. The trophy shone brightly in the sunlight, as if telling the story of countless champions' glorious past.

Dai Tianling smiled and then handed the trophy to Lu Fa. After all, he was a ruler and naturally wouldn't show any flaws in this regard.

"Now, I will bestow this honor upon this warrior from a foreign land. With unparalleled strength and unwavering spirit, he has conquered this arena. Congratulations, young warrior, the gates of the Star Luo Empire are always open to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Fa bowed slightly and accepted the trophy. His expression remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever because Dai Tianling was the emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

"The Soul Bone rewards for champions are also here. Young warrior, may they help you go further and further on the path to becoming a strongman."

Dai Tianling picked up a storage soul tool from the tray beside her and handed it to Lu Fa.

At the same time, Dai Tianling couldn't help but show a hint of regret. He understood that Lu Fa could not possibly join the Star Luo Empire. After all, that guy Ao Hongchen seemed to have even sent away his own granddaughter, all to tie this young man in front of him to their Hongchen family.

Lu Fa was ultimately a person from Douluo Continent, but Dai Tianling still felt somewhat unwilling!

If possible, he actually hoped that Dai Yun'er and Lu Faxi could get married. However, given Lu Faxi's current attitude, what he had done to Dai Yun'er, and Dai Yun'er's personality, the relationship was basically off.

Douluo Continent, after all, is a place where gods once emerged, and it is also the origin of their Star Luo Empire. That place truly contains too many incredible things.

Leaving aside the gods, a hundred years ago, the first person below the gods, the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming, was born, who was so powerful that he shook the continent.

Now, this young man has emerged. Given time, if he grows up, wouldn't he also become a towering Douluo?

For a moment, Dai Tianling thought about many things. Of course, on the surface, he didn't show any abnormality, as if he was genuinely wishing Lu Fa well.

The individual competition champion award ceremony has come to an end.

Next up is the two-on-two competition, which is also the round of 32 to 16. The competition will take place in the afternoon after the awards ceremony.

However, this has nothing to do with Lu Fa. In their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, only four people with Martial Soul Fusion Skills are participating in the two-on-two competition. With Xue Liushuang and the others' strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to get a good ranking, but winning the championship would be difficult.

Long Yue also participated in the two-on-two match, and Tang Wulin had also recovered. After all, Lu Fa had deliberately held back during his match with him, so the injury was at most a superficial wound for the thick-skinned Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin and Na'er participated in the two-on-two match.

The afternoon competition was still in full swing. On Shrek Academy's side, Tang Wulin and Na'er, needless to say, were top-notch even in the entire competition, and naturally passed the finals with ease.

In addition, Yuan Enyehui and Xie Xie also participated in the two-on-two competition and successfully advanced.

The two-on-two matches are not as long as the individual matches. After each match ends, the next match will begin the following day, and the competition is expected to last about four or five days.

Aside from the final match where the players get a day off, there's no rest time for the other matches. The schedule is extremely tight.

After the two-on-two matches conclude, the final stage of the competition will immediately begin: the seven-on-seven team battle. In this seven-on-seven team battle, there will always be sixteen teams.

……

After a series of battles, the four participants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who possessed Martial Soul Fusion Skills managed to secure a place in the top eight.

The champion of the two-on-two competition was the combination of Tang Wulin and Na'er!

Yes, they both made it to the finals and won the championship!

This shocked many Star Luo citizens. How could this be? The two-on-two championship was not won by the duo of Long Yue and Dai Yun'er, but by an outsider from Douluo Continent once again.
