Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 150 The Soul Master Competition is Coming

It took Ye Liangchen and his group more than ten days to return to Tianshui Academy. The ice and fire body tempering for the girl group team took more than 40 days in total.

"These girls are incredible; they've all achieved immunity to both ice and fire."

The Shui sisters were very pleased to see that Shui Bing'er and the others were now able to practice the Frostfire Palm technique developed by Ye Liangchen.

"Xiao Chen, how can such a small pill have such amazing effects?" Shui Lanxin was overjoyed to see the three Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pills that the little guy had given her.

"Aunt Lan, please don't take it here. The intense sensation of ice and fire will make you feel terrible... You must go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and cultivate with the Ice and Fire Spring Water to achieve the desired effect."

Ye Liangchen told Shui Lanxin about the reactions he experienced after taking the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pill. He gave Shui Lanxin three pills, and kept the last one in his game inventory as a spare.

"Don't worry! Auntie understands."

Upon hearing the little guy's description of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pill, Shui Lanxin dared not take it casually.

"Aunt Lan, you said you wanted to deal with those assassins. How is it going?" Ye Liangchen asked about the assassins.

"I secretly went to the Spirit Hall and talked to your godmother about this matter. She was furious on the spot and prepared to go to Heaven Dou City to kill Xue Ye. After she calmed down, she sent five Soul Douluos to deal with the matter. After more than 20 days of investigation, they wiped out two groups of people, including eight Soul Emperors and twelve Soul Kings. I guess Emperor Xue Ye is bleeding inside right now."

"I must say, your godmother's actions were truly swift and decisive. The assassins sent by Emperor Xueye to kill you in disguise should all be wiped out by now."

Shui Lanxin also admired Bibi Dong. Now she was radiant and dazzling, managing the huge Spirit Hall in an orderly manner. She truly deserved to be called the peerless female pope!

"I'm not worried about those Soul Emperor-level assassins, I was afraid they would target Sister Bing'er and the others, but that's been resolved now, and I really have to thank the Pope."

When Ye Liangchen heard that the current female pope was actually protecting him so much, he found it quite interesting.

"You brat, this is the five million gold soul coins your godmother promised to give you a while ago."

"When I mentioned to her that you were going to participate in the Soul Master Competition, she immediately said she would prepare three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones as your championship reward. How about that? She's really good to you, isn't she? She's practically like a mother to you."

After Shui Lanxin finished speaking, she took out five gold soul coin cards with a limit of one million each from her soul tool and stuffed them into Ye Liangchen's hand.

"That's really great, I'm almost embarrassed to accept it. How about this, we'll pass on the three soul bone prizes. We already have a ton of soul bones, we don't need any more."

"Heh heh...! You brat, if you don't take the soul bone reward, you'll definitely dazzle those people."

Seeing Ye Liangchen's decision not to take the soul bone prize, Shui Lanxin could imagine the stunned scene that would unfold, which would definitely be very funny.

Let others be envious and jealous! We're rich, so we can do whatever we want.

"Besides, I participated in the Soul Master Competition in order to complete the first test given to me by the Goddess of Life."

Ye Liangchen didn't care what the audience of the Soul Master Competition thought. However, if he really didn't take the championship reward, the major forces would think that he was afraid of having his soul bone stolen by the Spirit Hall.

Oh well! Let them guess whatever they want!

"Xiao Chen, how do you plan to arrange the team members?" Shui Lanxin didn't plan to make any tactical arrangements. With this little guy leading the team, she didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Bing'er and the others are the main players, while Zhuqing, Yan, Ling, and I are the substitutes."

Ye Liangchen felt that even with his cheat-like abilities, he could easily lead three diamond-level players as substitutes.

"Heh heh...! You little rascal, you're really something."

"In that case, you'll be in charge of handling everything for the competition! We'll just focus on ensuring everyone's safety."

Shui Lanxin wasn't worried about the competition itself, but she was a little concerned about the safety of the young man and his group of girls. After all, being so outstanding inevitably attracted attention. However, she now had enough strength to protect them. She would bring her younger sister and Su Lin; the three of them had already developed a three-person spirit fusion skill with Ye Liangchen's help, and might even be able to fight against a Limit Douluo. In addition, there would be Ye Cailan, and she estimated that Dugu Bo would also be there, since his granddaughter would be with them. In this way, there would be five Title Douluos protecting these young people, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and the Pan-Continental Soul Master Tournament, held once every five years, is here again in the blink of an eye.

This competition was initiated by the Spirit Hall and jointly organized by the two empires. It started with preliminary rounds, followed by elimination rounds, and finally the grand final.

The preliminary rounds and knockout rounds were held in the capitals of the two great empires, while the finals would be held in Wuhun City. Bibi Dong specifically announced to the entire continent that the champion of the tournament would be rewarded with three ten-thousand-year soul bones.

"Three pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bone?"

This news immediately sent participating teams across the continent into a frenzy.

"Xiao San, there are still more than half a month until the Soul Master Competition. This time you must go all out and win the championship. That's three ten-thousand-year soul bones."

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited when he heard that the Spirit Hall had offered three ten-thousand-year-old spirit bones as a reward for the champion, and he immediately encouraged the little monsters.

Soul bone! Soul bone! If I had obtained a ten-thousand-year soul bone back then, I might have been able to break through level 30 and wouldn't have had to bear the name of a useless person for the rest of my life.

Thinking back to this, Yu Xiaogang was filled with emotion. He remembered how he had approached Bibi Dong with sweet words, completely deceiving the naive and innocent girl, hoping to use her status to obtain resources, especially soul bones. But at that time, Bibi Dong was merely a saintess, essentially a figurehead used to represent the Spirit Hall, and had no real right to obtain soul bones.

Now that woman has stabbed me in the back. Is it because I chose Erlong later? Did that make her hate me? But for the sake of Xiaosan's twin martial soul cultivation, I'll just have to swallow my pride and pretend to apologize to Bibi Dong. Maybe she'll soften her heart and I can find out the method of twin martial soul cultivation.

Bibi Dong, you look down on me and call me a piece of trash. I will definitely train Xiao San to become a Title Douluo and destroy the Spirit Hall.

Yu Xiaogang was making all sorts of calculations in his mind. He harbored deep resentment towards Bibi Dong for telling the world that his theory was a load of rubbish. It was his only ideal, and he would never allow anyone to trample on it.

"Teacher, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Tang San clenched his fist, determined to win the championship of this competition. No one wanted to miss such an opportunity. In addition, he also wanted to prove to the world that his teacher's invincible theory was not just empty talk.

Some time ago, when the Shrek Academy team was helping Dai Mubai obtain his fourth spirit ring in Sunset Forest, Tang San had a stroke of luck and discovered some precious herbs in a valley. Although they weren't immortal herbs, they still greatly enhanced the strength of the entire Shrek Academy team.

Tang San is currently level 42 with two yellow and two purple spirit rings. Due to not having the opportunity to obtain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Tang San's fourth spirit ring is only a 7000-year-old Earth Demon Spider spirit ring.

Tang San's performance left Yu Xiaogang speechless with astonishment; he truly lived up to his reputation as a genius he had taught.

Xiao Wu, level 41, with two yellow and two purple spirit rings. After the little rabbit came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, under the supervision of Yu Xiaogang, she dared not be too playful and had to accompany Tang San to cultivate diligently. Her strength was even higher than in the original story.

Yu Tianheng, level 43, with two yellow and two purple soul rings.

Dai Mubai, level 42, with two yellow and two purple soul rings.

Oscar, level 39, with two yellow and one purple spirit rings.

Ning Rongrong, level 39, with two yellow and one purple soul rings.

Ma Hongjun, level 38, with two yellow and one purple spirit rings.

Talon, level 38, with two yellow and one purple soul rings.

In addition, there are two substitute players, Passerby A and Passerby B, who are only level 35.

Another reason why Yu Xiaogang was confident in leading the team to victory was that the Star Luo Empire could not find Dai Mubai's fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing. So they had to send another woman from the Zhu family branch, named Zhu Xiaomei, who was a level 38 Soul Master, to temporarily replace Zhu Zhuqing and team up with Dai Mubai to fight against Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

Dai Mubai is currently practicing the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Zhu Xiaomei. Since their Martial Souls have the foundation of ancestral fusion, the fusion is not too difficult. After several days of practice, they have barely reached 70% fusion and can now perform the technique.

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that he only had a 70% fusion rate with the Netherworld White Tiger, so he suggested that Dai Mubai and Zhu Xiaomei go to the hotel to get to know each other better. However, Zhu Xiaomei refused, saying that she was just a temporary worker sent by the Zhu family. If they lost, she wouldn't have to share the punishment of defeat with Dai Mubai. If they won, she would consider it.

Zhu Xiaomei knew the strength of Davis and Zhu Zhuyun in the Star Luo Empire. One was level 48 and the other was level 47. With Dai Mubai's level 42 and her own level 38 strength, it was impossible for them to win. That's why she wouldn't be foolish enough to hand herself over to Dai Mubai.

Although Dai Mubai was unwilling to accept the fact that Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared with a mysterious young man two or three years ago, he had no choice but to team up with Zhu Xiaomei in the hope of a miracle, otherwise he would not live past the age of 25.

All the participating teams are preparing intensively, but three teams are quite relaxed about the competition: Tianshui Team, Shenfeng Team, and Wuhun Hall Team.

After nearly two years of grueling training, Feng Xiaotian of the Shenfeng team reached the peak of level 49, but he was still unable to step into the Soul King realm. Now he finally understood what Ye Liangchen had said: there is a hurdle between level 40 and level 50.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I failed to break through to the Soul King level. Regardless, I will fight you in this competition."

"Just as you said, the Soul Master Competition is just a stage for performance. It doesn't care about fame or fortune, but about participation. Maybe it can help me find a breakthrough opportunity."

Feng Xiaotian already knew that Ye Liangchen would lead the Tianshui team to participate in the competition, and that he had no hope of winning the championship. However, he was still grateful to that prodigy, because it was his words that made him realize the truth.

It has to be said that once Feng Xiaotian starts cultivating seriously, he is quite powerful. In the past two years, he has leveled up from level 42 to level 49, which is comparable to cheating.

The Spirit Hall team, with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan all possessing Soul King-level strength, was considered by everyone in the Spirit Hall to have no doubt about winning the championship.

Bibi Dong also gave the Foundation Establishment Pill that Ye Liangchen had given her to Hu Liena and her little disciple Jin Xiuzhu. As for the last one, she planned to save it for Qian Renxue.

Bibi Dong has now let go of her obsession and no longer hates Qian Renxue, though she hasn't shown it.

Currently, the people Bibi Dong cares about most are her godson (number one), Hu Liena (number two), and Qian Renxue and Jin Xiuzhu (tied for third).

The daughter was an accident, the godson was the true love.

If Qian Renxue knew what Bibi Dong was thinking, she would definitely exclaim: Am I even your biological daughter? How could you rank me third?

With the support of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Hu Liena's strength has reached level 55.

Xie Yue and Yan also obtained the Xuan Sheng Pill, reaching levels 54 and 53 respectively.

It must be said that there is a difference between the Profound Ascension Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The other members of the Spirit Hall did not receive any pills, but their strength was around level 45, with one of them reaching level 48.

"Teacher, we should be able to win the championship this time, right?"

In the Papal Palace manor, Hu Liena and Bibi Dong were discussing the Soul Master Competition. Hu Liena felt that her soul power should be the highest among all the contestants, and winning the championship would not be a problem.

The soul bone reward this time is amazing. One of them is a 50,000-year-old head soul bone that embodies wisdom and spirit. It must have been specially prepared for me by my teacher.

As expected, the teacher's favorite person is still herself.

Hu Liena was daydreaming, imagining herself absorbing a 50,000-year-old head bone.

"Heh heh...! Nana! Soul bones aren't for you guys."

"Since Xiaochen is going to participate in a competition, I, as his godmother, naturally have to prepare a gift for him."

Bibi Dong looked at her silly disciple with a smile, and immediately poured cold water on the girl.

"Ah...! Teacher, Long...Long Chen is participating in the competition too?"

Hu Liena was stunned when she heard Bibi Dong's words. After all that, she had been happy for nothing. She felt a little wronged. That was a 50,000-year-old head soul bone, and now it was out of her reach.

"Nana, do you know about the pill you took? It was given to me by him. Otherwise, your strength would only be level 53 at most, and you couldn't have risen this high."

Bibi Dong noticed that Hu Liena was a little upset, so she reminded the girl that one should not forget one's roots.

"Teacher, Nana understands."

Hu Liena dared not have any objections to Bibi Dong's arrangements, but she felt that her teacher was siding with outsiders. That Long Chen was just her godson, not someone from the Spirit Hall. Her teacher was being too nice to that guy.

"Teacher, which team does he represent?" Although Hu Liena knew that her teacher had adopted a godson, she had never met him.

"Tianshui Team." Bibi Dong smiled faintly and directly stated the name of the little guy's team.

"Ah...! Heaven...Team Tensui?"

"Isn't he a man? How can he be on the Tianshui team?"

"Boom..."

Hu Liena's mind was in a complete mess, buzzing with confusion. She never expected that the little guy would actually represent the Tianshui team.

"Nana, you'll understand later."

Bibi Dong smiled mysteriously, not telling Hu Liena much about the little guy, not even revealing his real name to her foolish apprentice.

On the other side, in the Tianshui team, Ye Liangchen's strength has now reached level 59, and Shui Bing'er and the others have all broken through level 50. As expected, the age of the divine soul rings given by Ye Liangchen has all reached more than 20000 years, with Shui Bing'er's fifth ring reaching as high as 25000 years.

Shui Bing'er, level 54, with two yellow, one purple, and two black soul rings.

Shuiyue'er, level 53, with two yellow, one purple, and two black soul rings.

Zhu Zhuqing, level 51, with two yellow, one purple, and two black soul rings.

Xue Wu, level 53, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Yu Hairou, level 52, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Gu Qingbo, level 52, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Qiu Ruoshui, level 52, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Shen Liuyu, level 51, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Dugu Yan, level 52, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Ye Lingling, level 52, with two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings.

Shui Bing'er and the others did not absorb the remaining soul bones to break through the level 50 barrier. They all saved the soul bones and used them to break through when they reached level 60 or 70.

In addition, the high-end combat power has also improved. Ye Cailan and Dugu Bo, both titled Douluo, absorbed a full set of soul bones more than two years ago and reached the peak of level 95. It is only natural that they have now broken through to level 96.

Shui Lanxin is still at level 97, but she is close to reaching her peak. Shui Lanyue, Ye Suling, and Su Lin have also reached level 94. Mu Qingxue has absorbed the entire set of soul bones and has also reached level 95. The old dean, Shui Lingfeng, has to worry about the construction of Tianshui Sect and Tenglong City and has no time to cultivate, so she is still at level 94.

Ye Liangchen looked at the other members of the Tianshui team, all of whom were level 50 Soul Kings, and recalled a sentence: "Gentlemen, if I set up this lineup, how would you deal with it?"
