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

Chapter 361 Na'er and Su Mu

An hour before the match, the Xingluo Stadium was already packed to capacity. The atmosphere was incredibly enthusiastic.

Fang'er arrived early, ready to give her explanation.

For the safety of the participating players, the organizers specially arranged four referees for today's match, all of whom are powerful experts at the Title Douluo level.

Even before the match began, a tense atmosphere already permeated the entire arena.

Many spectators were taking out food and water to replenish their energy, fearing they wouldn't have time to eat or drink once the match started.

No one knew how long the match would last, but they all couldn't help but hope that it would last as long as possible.

"They're here!" someone shouted, and the audience's eyes all turned towards the waiting area.

The two teams entered the field almost simultaneously. The green uniforms of Shrek Academy contrasted sharply with the red uniforms of Monster Academy.

The players from both sides did not interact at all, but instead quickly entered the playing field one by one and sat down to rest in their respective areas.

In Monster Academy, the leader is Dragon King Long Yue, followed by Tiger King Dai Yueyan, Wind King Lin San, Fox King Su Mu, Wolf King Hua Lantang, Tower King Ye Zhi, Shadow King Tengteng, and Spirit King Dai Yun'er.

The Eight Heavenly Kings arrived together.

Shrek Team

Unlike in the past, today the person in the main seat is none other than Fors, followed by Tang Wulin, Nan Fusheng, Xu Xiaoyan, Na'er, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Yuan Enyehui, Le Zhengyu, Xie Xie, and Xu Lizhi, a total of eleven people.

They don't have much else, but they have a lot of substitutes.

"As expected, she is the strongest in Shrek Academy." Long Yue narrowed his eyes, looking at Fors, who sat calmly in the main seat, and thought to himself.

Although it's unclear why she didn't choose to participate in the individual competition, the fact that Lufa specifically mentioned her suggests that Fors's strength is definitely formidable.

"Distinguished guests and fellow spectators, welcome to Xingluo Stadium. I believe you have all been eagerly anticipating today's match."

This is the team final of the current Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament, and also a clash between the two strongest academies on the continent. It's our Monster Academy from Star Luo Continent versus Shrek Academy from Douluo Continent.

Fang'er's voice unconsciously carried a hint of excitement; she too had been eagerly anticipating this match.

"Now, please welcome Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the audience was taken aback. Was His Majesty about to speak? This had never happened before in the previous matches.

Dai Tianling stood up, his gaze sweeping across the Xingluo Grand Stadium. Instantly, all the spectators stood up in unison, their right fists clenched and held horizontally in front of their chests. This was their way of showing respect to their emperor.

"I'm very happy to witness such a match. At this moment, I feel just as excited as you are. I'm also a spectator looking forward to an exciting match," Dai Tianling said with a smile.

"The reason I'm saying a few words is mainly because of my expectations for this competition. Monster Academy and Shrek Academy represent the strongest academies of our Star Luo Continent and our homeland, Douluo Continent, respectively."

I hope both sides will approach today's match with friendship first and competition second, as this will be the best form of exchange. The organizers will also be offering more prizes to reward both sides.

Regardless of the final outcome, each participant will receive a treasure that will help them improve their cultivation. Alright, now I declare the competition open.

As soon as Dai Tianling made the announcement, cheers erupted like waves throughout the Xingluo Stadium.

Dai Tianling held a very high position in the hearts of the people. Since his ascension to the throne, he had worked diligently to govern the empire, bringing it to prosperity. The oppressive Green Skull resistance organization had no chance whatsoever and could only hide in the rugged frontier, barely surviving. He was hailed as a wise and benevolent ruler.

Fors listened to Dai Tianling's words and smiled knowingly. Friendship first? Competition second? Hopefully, Dai Tianling will still think that way when the team battle begins.

The four referees walked to the center of the stage at the same time. The elderly man in the lead said in a deep voice, "Please invite the contestants from both sides for the first match to come up to the stage."

Since it was the final, everything needed to be done more meticulously, and a partition was quickly raised in the waiting areas for both sides.

This makes it impossible to know immediately which players are on the opposing team, thus preventing them from making targeted adjustments. The partition possesses the ability to block all mental probing.

All eyes were on the waiting area, including those of the higher-ups on the podium. Who would face whom in the first match?

On Shrek Academy's side, the first to stand up was none other than Na'er, the contestant who earned the title of "Dragon Lance Goddess" and enjoyed immense popularity in this competition!

When Na'er stood up, she was immediately met with a chorus of admiration. Women always have certain privileges, especially Na'er, whose appearance and skills had earned her unanimous recognition from the audience through her previous matches.

On the Monster Academy's side, the first to stand up was Su Mu, the Fox King Su Mu. Ranked third among the Eight Heavenly Kings, the Fox King had once lost to Tang Wulin.

Both sides simultaneously left the waiting area and headed straight for the competition stage.

The first match is crucial for morale and is very important for both sides.

Upon seeing that his opponent was Na'er, Su Mu couldn't help but feel a chill. If judged by strength, the first match should have been fought by Dai Yueyan, even if it wasn't Long Yue.

However, Dai Yueyan is the fourth prince of the empire. If he loses in the first match, it will be a huge blow to both him and the people of the empire.

Therefore, the order of appearance arranged by Monster Academy is Su Mu, Dai Yueyan, and Long Yue. The top three players will participate in the first three matches, which shows that they attach great importance to Shrek Academy.

Na'er calmly looked at Su Mu in the distance, and Su Mu also stared intently at her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. Even though she was his opponent, he could not deny Na'er's beauty.

With her long, silver hair as luxurious as silk and her silver eyes matching her hair color, her features were exquisite and flawless. Her unique eye color gave Na'er a cool and otherworldly temperament. The Dragon Spear Goddess truly lived up to her name.

In a different setting, Su Mu wouldn't mind striking up a conversation with Na'er. Unfortunately, today he and Na'er were rivals, representing their respective academies.

Although Su Mu admired Na'er's appearance, he wasn't some shrew. He wouldn't show mercy just because of her looks, although it seemed he didn't really need to, given Na'er's formidable strength.

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly between them.

The four referees retreated to the edge of the playing area, and a fierce battle was about to begin.

Na'er had watched the match between Tang Wulin and Su Mu, and she vividly remembered Su Mu's abilities. Su Mu, the Fox King, possessed the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul and the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline. He was incredibly powerful, possessing five major aura skills that combined control and offensive capabilities.

Monster Academy has also studied Na'er's situation. She is undoubtedly a powerful offensive Soul Master, her Martial Soul is a spear, and its power is immense. She is at the fourth ring cultivation level, possesses parts of a Battle Armor, and only lacks a headband to complete her One-Word Battle Armor.

The battle armor was forged from a spirit alloy, and with its core components, its power was no less than that of a typical one-word battle armor. Its forte was direct, forceful attacks, and its control over spear techniques had reached an unparalleled level.

In other words, Su Mu is not superior in terms of battle armor; at most, he is only higher than Na'er in terms of cultivation.

"Five, four, three, two, one, the competition begins!"

With the referee's announcement, the first match of the team finals, between Dragon Spear Goddess Na'er and Fox King Su Mu, officially began.

A glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes, and his body seemed to become illusory for a moment. Then the audience saw five large fox tails emerge from behind him, swaying gently, and five spirit rings rose up as well.

The first spirit ring ripples out the instant the martial spirit is released. From releasing the martial spirit to releasing the spirit skill, it is almost instantaneous. This seemingly simple process is actually a very high-level technique.

Na'er lightly touched the ground with her feet and rushed straight towards Su Mu's __cpLocation.

A white halo rippled across the ground; it was Su Mu's first soul skill, the Slowing Aura.

The effect of this slowing aura had once given Tang Wulin a major headache. But facing the aura, Na'er didn't hesitate at all and continued charging towards it.

Points of light shimmered around Su Mu's body. He flicked his hands, and pieces of battle armor shot out, scattering in the air before covering his body.

Having washed away the lessons of his battle with Tang Wulin, he chose to wear battle armor right from the start today. He absolutely could not afford to lose as humiliatingly as he did that day.

Before the match began today, Su Mu had already made preparations to go all out and prove himself with a victory no matter what.

His battle armor covered his entire body; it was entirely white, with faint multicolored patterns shimmering across it, making it look incredibly beautiful and even shimmering with a touch of spiritual light. His helmet was larger than typical battle armor, completely covering his head, and a dazzling gem adorned its center.

As a control-type battle spirit master, mental strength is extremely important, and his battle armor greatly enhances his mental strength.

The moment the battle armor was donned, the sluggish aura he had already released suddenly shone brightly, increasing several times in diameter from its original fifty meters, directly enveloping the rapidly approaching Na'er.

As a result, Na'er's speed immediately slowed down.

But at that moment, specks of silver light also appeared on Na'er's body. Since her opponent had already used his battle armor, she naturally wouldn't hesitate at all.

Na'er flashed and was already in mid-air. Then, a cold light appeared in her hand—the Silver Dragon Spear!

First Soul Skill: Silver Dragon Spear. It can greatly enhance physical attributes.

Na'er's speed exploded instantly; she became one with her gun in mid-air, covering the hundred-meter distance in the blink of an eye. She arrived directly in front of her opponent.

Has her marksmanship reached such a level? Seeing the magnifying gun beam in front of him, Su Mu was taken aback. In the previous matches, Na'er had never displayed such a perfect harmony between man and gun! It turned out she had been hiding her strength all along.

Although surprised, Su Mu reacted quickly, and his second and third spirit rings shone simultaneously.

The second soul skill, Soul Power Stripping Aura, increases the opponent's soul power consumption.

His third soul skill, Reversal Aura, is Su Mu's most powerful and formidable skill. No matter the type of attack, as long as it doesn't exceed his tolerance limit by too much, he can easily reverse it.

But at that very moment, Na'er suddenly changed. Just as that point of spear light was about to clash with the Reversal Aura, the silver light suddenly soared upwards, shooting five meters into the air and drawing a strange arc.

Dodging! She actually controlled the gun and herself to this extent?

Then Su Mu witnessed an even more terrifying scene: a sudden burst of silver light appeared, and he could vaguely see that Na'er's third spirit ring shone brightly. Then, countless cold lights shot out.

Third Soul Skill: Silver Dragon Spear Flash, a wide-range attack type Soul Skill.

However, the cold light was not aimed at Su Mu, but rather at the reversal halo that had already passed beneath her feet.

"Not good!" Su Mu was shocked. One cannot use a second Reversal Halo while it's still active. Almost without hesitation, his fourth spirit ring blazed brightly, instantly plunging his entire body into darkness.

At the same moment, countless spear beams landed directly in front of him, piercing into the engulfing black world. If Su Mu had been even a fraction slower, these spear beams would have struck him directly.

Na'er used Su Mu's own reversal aura. She found the best angle so that the spear's edge fell into the reversal aura and was bounced back. The object of the bounce was none other than Su Mu's direction.

If Su Mu hadn't used the Devouring Aura in time, he would have been in serious trouble from that attack. That was a soul skill amplified by the battle armor.

Na'er seemed to have anticipated Su Mu's response, and her fourth soul skill quickly lit up. Fourth Soul Skill: Silver Dragon Burst, which is also Na'er's strongest single-target attack soul skill at present.

A phantom of a silver dragon, shimmering with seven-colored light, silently appeared behind Na'er. Then, the silver dragon phantom let out a roar and transformed into a huge silver spear.

Na'er herself transformed into a streak of silver light, merging into the silver dragon spear behind her. The silver dragon spear hovered in the air, its tip pointing downwards, and in an instant, silver light burst forth from the tip. She then descended from the sky.

Na'er's attack speed was too fast. Before the Silver Dragon Spear Flash had even finished, the huge dragon spear, carrying terrifying pressure and seemingly about to pierce the entire world, had already reached Su Mu's head.

Has the application of martial spirits really reached such a level?

A sense of horror rose in Su Mu's heart.

I feel like Na'er needs to have a chance to shine, otherwise her presence seems rather weak.
