Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 112 Star Luo Locke Academy, Yun Yibai Returns to the Stage

Time passed quietly, and all thirty teams from the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had arrived.

The two teams were located in Cole City within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire and Kuz City within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, respectively.

The ranking matches are held in a arena built between two cities, adjacent to the God's Battlefield, Giant Sword Mountain.

Prior to this, the Heavenly Dou Empire was still conducting its final mobilization efforts.

"Outstanding Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire." Roxon, the commander of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights, stood at the forefront.

"In the next match, you will be competing against the Star Luo Empire team."

"Our opponent is the Star Luo Empire, an old rival of our empire. This is a matter of the empire's honor and dignity."

"Therefore, His Majesty has decided..."

"The teams that advance from the ranking tournament will be granted 5,000 hectares of land."

"And confer upon him the title of Viscount!!"

Roxon's words undoubtedly excited the Soul Master students from the various academies below.

All the students from the various advanced soul master academies present were still unacquainted.

"manor?!!"

"Viscount?!"

"..."

However, those who know, know. This is because Emperor Xueye increased the rewards in advance to retain talent in order to prevent the Spirit Hall from poaching the outstanding Soul Masters within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Finally, Xue Qinghe took the stage and declared that if any team won the Soul Master Tournament, their title would be promoted two ranks, making them a hereditary earl of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they would be rewarded with vast tracts of land.

Yun Yibai said that this reward was exactly what he and the Martial Arts Academy behind him wanted.

……

"What an exciting moment! The All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, held once every five years, is unfolding here once again."

"Dear viewers, welcome back!"

As the host finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience, clearly showing their anticipation for the ranking matches to begin. The spectators came from two opposing empires, each hoping their team would crush the other.

With the host's introduction, the competition officially began. Representatives from various colleges took to the stage one after another, dressed in their respective school uniforms, their faces radiating confidence and pride.

The audience also generously gave them enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"According to the draw results, the first match of the ranking tournament will be between the Heavenly Dou Empire's Martial Arts Academy and the Star Luo Empire's Locke Academy!"

"Please invite both contestants to the stage!" Roxon, the captain of the Royal Knights of the Heavenly Dou Empire, temporarily acted as the referee.

In the Star Luo Empire, Rock Academy is a high-level Soul Master Academy that can be compared with the five major elemental academies.

This advanced Soul Master Academy has four Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables, making it the strongest institution in the Star Luo Empire besides the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Its captain, Oakley, is a level 46 power-attack type Soul Master.

The first player from Locke Academy to take the stage is one of their Soul Masters, Ke Wen, a level 41 Power Attack type Battle Soul Master with the Martial Soul Star Sword.

Yang Tai from the Martial Arts Academy is about to go on stage.

But just as he was about to make a move, Yun Yibai stood up.

"this……"

"Is Yi Bai about to go on stage?"

Although Yun Yibai's teammates from Martial Arts Academy were also somewhat puzzled, they did not question his thoughts and actions. And all of this stemmed from Yun Yibai's strength.

Yun Yibai strode towards the arena, his expression calm. As powerful as he was, he had already mastered control over the power within him.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the hem of his snow-white clothes to sway softly.

"Is he ready to go on stage again?"

"Yun Yibai..." Yu Tianxin, Huo Wushuang, Dai Mubai, Shui Bing'er and others frowned.

"He took action personally. Is he trying to give the Star Luo Empire a warning?"

"This time, he'll definitely reveal his true strength!"

The teams from Tiandou City who qualified from Tiandou Academy were all showing signs of emotional turmoil.

"Both sides are in position, let the match begin!"

Ke Wen immediately released his Martial Soul Star Sword, and four soul rings appeared, one yellow and one purple.

"First Soul Skill, Starburst Slash!" Kevin shouted, and the star sword in his hand instantly burst forth with dazzling light, as if a bright star had suddenly lit up in the night sky.

With a swing of his arm, a sword aura condensed with starlight ripped through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Yun Yibai. The sword aura was so sharp that even the dust in the air was cut and scattered.

Yun Yibai remained calm, and with a slight shift of his body, he easily dodged the sharp sword energy.

"What!?" Kevin was extremely shocked.

"Not bad, this is interesting."

"It's just a bit too slow!" Yun Yibai's seemingly complimentary words were interpreted by Kevin as mockery.

Moreover, Yun Yibai had dodged his attack without even releasing his martial spirit. The taunt was doubled.

"You bastard, don't look down on me!"

Enraged by Yun Yibai's mockery, Kevin's face flushed crimson, and his eyes seemed to spit fire. He gripped the Star Sword tightly, and the spirit rings on his body flashed, clearly indicating that he was furious to the extreme.

"Second Soul Skill, Star Guardian!" Kevin roared, and his star sword shone brightly, a beam of starlight appearing on his body. It was clear that this was an amplification-type Soul Skill.

"Go to hell!"

"Third Soul Skill, Starburst Slash!" Ke Wen shouted, and the Star Sword in his hand swung down suddenly. A long sword containing the power of stars streaked across the night sky like a meteor, heading straight for Yun Yibai.

"I gave you a chance!"

"It's your own fault for not appreciating it!"

Faced with the menacing blades, Yun Yibai also released his Martial Soul. However, it was still just a Martial Soul; the Soul Rings had not yet been revealed.

Or rather, he doesn't need to use spirit rings to deal with this person from Locke Academy.

As soon as his martial spirit appeared, golden lightning continuously danced across Yun Yibai's body.

As Yun Yibai retracted his right fist, golden lightning continuously accumulated on his right fist.

"This guy!" Yu Tianxin's eyes narrowed. He was somewhat familiar with this move. Before he left the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he often saw Yun Yibai practicing his punches. By the time he left, Yun Yibai's punches were already capable of piercing through the air and striking lightning.

"Bang!" The collision of starlight and lightning was fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, Kevin was sent flying backward.

Yun Yibai's seemingly simple punch directly shattered the power that Ke Wen had accumulated.

"Hmph!" Yun Yibai raised his hand again, and a golden bolt of lightning struck Kewen, who was still flying backward in the air.

The continuous lightning, combined with the force of the previous punch, caused Kevin to faint and lose his ability to fight.

The more arrogant Kevin was before, the more pathetic he is now!

The audience was stunned by this scene. They did not expect that Yun Yibai would defeat his opponent without even using his soul skills, relying solely on the power of his martial soul.

For office workers, earning 6,000 a day is quite a challenge.
