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

Chapter 83 The Tournament Begins, Martial Arts Masters Gather

After entering Martial Arts Academy, Feng Xiaotian's father witnessed its formidable strength. Aside from not meeting the Title Douluo Dugu Bo, he had already encountered three Soul Douluos: Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He. This lineup was clearly beyond the level expected of a high-level Soul Master academy.

Even the highest-ranking academy in the Heaven Dou Empire only has three teaching commissioners at the Soul Douluo level.

In terms of top-tier facilities, this Martial Arts Academy has already surpassed the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Here, the first team representing the New Martial Arts Academy to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has arrived.

Yun Yibai, the captain of the Martial Arts Academy team, is a level 53 Power Attack-type Battle Soul King.

Vice Captain, Dugu Yan, Level 54 Control-type Battle Soul King.

Feng Xiaotian, a level 48 agility-based Soul Master. The pill Yun Yibai gave him increased his Soul Power by one level.

Oscar, a level 43 support-type Soul Master.

Yang Tai, a level 42 offensive-type Battle Soul Master.

Niu Tian, ​​a level 42 defensive-type Battle Soul Master. Both of them have limited talent, advancing one level in a year, and might have a chance to break through to level 43 before the tournament officially begins.

The last one is Ye Lingling, a level 41 support-type Battle Soul Master.

This teammate was someone Dugu Yan specifically tried to recruit. She made her move before the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy had even established the Heaven Dou Team, but she failed to recruit him back then.

It wasn't until the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy on their side, and after learning about its lineup, that Ye Lingling considered coming over.

She stayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy because she admired the royal family behind the academy. The Nine Heart Begonia lineage also had its own unfortunate circumstances.

In addition, they also prepared four candidates at the Soul Master level.

Huang Weiyuan, a level 33 offensive-type Battle Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is the Fiery Monkey.

Qiu Wuji, a level 32 agility-attack type battle spirit master, whose martial spirit is the Shadow Chasing Tiger.

Li Mengqi, a level 32 Control-type Battle Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Golden Thread.

Ye Qingling, a level 31 Auxiliary-type Weapon Soul Master, wields the Martial Soul Life Scepter.

Yun Yibai, Dugu Yan, and Oscar's soul power increased rapidly, but this was all due to the advantages given to them by the celestial-grade natural treasures, which accelerated their cultivation speed.

The next six months will be dedicated to joint team battle training for these eleven people.

Time flies like the tide, and half a year has passed quickly. A grand festival for the entire continent is about to begin.

The final of the Continental Elite Tournament is held in Spirit City, the headquarters of the Spirit Hall. Those who can travel to Spirit City to participate must advance through the competition and achieve a ranking to qualify.

Of course, as the overlords of this continent, the teams cultivated by the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire can be exempted from the preliminary rounds and participate in the finals.

Within Heaven Dou City, apart from a few advanced soul master academies that were located in Heaven Dou City, the other advanced soul master academies from the Heaven Dou Empire that were participating in the competition arrived one after another.

Yun Yibai's academy wasn't far from Tiandou City, so they arrived early and checked into the most luxurious hotel in Tiandou City.

The competition wasn't going to start for several more days, so Yun Yibai gave everyone a break. For a time, only Yun Yibai and Dugu Yan remained from the entire Martial Arts Academy team.

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Let's go! So many people have come to Tiandou City lately, maybe the Tiandou Grand Auction House will have some good stuff, let's go check it out!"

"Now that you mention it, it's been several years since I've been there either." A hint of nostalgia appeared on Dugu Yan's face.

Dugu Yan wrapped her arm around Yun Yibai's hand, and the two headed towards the Tiandou City Grand Auction House.

Yun Yibai and Dugu Yan arrived relatively early, before the auction had officially begun.

This was Yun Yibai's first time at an auction, mainly because he had neither the money nor the need for such services.

"As expected of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, so many people have come!" Dugu Yan and Yun Yibai sat in the front seats, wearing masks. She looked at the seats below them, which were almost three-quarters full, and sighed with admiration.

"It seems we're in luck today. Although it's not the most prestigious auction house, it's already at the level of a mid-sized auction. Judging from today's performance, we'll probably get some good stuff later."

"Hopefully there will be something we like later!" After saying that, Yun Yibai closed his eyes to rest.

The intermediate auction house is also divided into VIP and regular sections, with two floors. The upper floor is for VIP customers.

To the right of Yun Yibai and Dugu Yan sat a man in a white suit. Beside him sat a slightly younger man, whose gold attire made him appear very noble.

Not only these two, but there were quite a few other people in the VIP seats, all of whom were of high status.

Time passed slowly, and then with a click, the auction house lights came on.

On the auction stage, a host dressed in splendid attire stood there with a smile, as if she were ready to welcome the start of this grand event.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the Tian Dou Grand Auction House! I am Xiao Ya, the host of today's auction. As you all know, every time our auction house opens, it brings countless surprises and rewards. And today is no exception!" Xiao Ya's clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the auction house through the loudspeaker, making everyone's heart beat with excitement.

"First, let's unveil today's first item!" Xiaoya's voice was full of magnetism. Then, a staff member brought the first item to the auction stage, which was covered with a red cloth.

"This is a mysterious soul tool from ancient times. It has a unique shape, exquisite craftsmanship, and an internal space of fifty cubic meters." Xiaoya introduced the origin, function, and value of this soul tool in detail.

However, the auction house has a way of making even the most incompetent people sound more believable. This was actually a storage soul tool that had been preserved from the past.

However, in this era when soul guidance technology was not advanced, even such a storage soul guidance device was always sought after whenever it appeared.

"Starting bid: 100,000 gold soul coins!" Xiaoya's voice was firm and powerful, her words like a lightning bolt that shattered the tranquility of the auction house.

"110,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"150,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"Sixteen thousand gold soul coins!" another voice rang out, attempting to push the price up again.

Xiaoya stood on the auction stage, her gaze sweeping across the room, a professional smile ever-present on her face. She knew that an auction was not merely a transaction of goods, but also a battle of psychology and strategy. In this battle, she needed to remain calm and astute at all times, guiding the bidding in the most advantageous direction.
