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

Chapter 90 Salas's Provocation, Elephant Armor Overwhelms the Heavenly Fighting Deputy Team

"Bishop, you flatter me. I was merely chatting with His Majesty about the competition!" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Hehe!" Salas chuckled, then sat down to the left of Emperor Xueye.

Emperor Xueye thought to himself with dissatisfaction, "This Salas is getting more and more arrogant!"

However, his years as an emperor had also instilled in him a habit of not showing his emotions, and no one could tell what he was feeling at that moment.

Salas, the Platinum Cardinal of the Spirit Hall, was still exchanging words with Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi.

The Spirit Hall and the Douluo Continent Empire have long had irreconcilable conflicts.

The Spirit Hall is powerful, and in recent years it has used the money of the two great empires to develop its own talents, which has long aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Xueye. The talents of the Heaven Dou Empire have not yet been used by the Heaven Dou Empire, but have been poached by the Spirit Hall. In particular, the Spirit Hall's power has grown and its behavior has become more and more eccentric.

Without Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xueye's discussion about Shrek Academy, Salas only glanced briefly at the Shrek Academy's ugly attire. He didn't look at it much, as the academy's clothing was simply an eyesore.

After the final Martial Arts Academy students entered.

The staff announced again, "Now we will begin the opening match draw! Please welcome our most esteemed Emperor of the Heavenly Dou, His Majesty Xue Ye, to deliver the opening speech and draw the lots."

Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire also delivered an opening speech.

"I, Xue Ye, Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, a worthy citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire and the organizers of this competition, hereby declare the opening of the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies."

The deep and resonant voice, carrying an undeniable authority, resounded like thunder throughout the entire palace and even the square outside, thanks to the advanced amplifying soul guide device, ensuring that everyone present could hear it clearly.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

After the applause subsided, His Majesty the Emperor continued, "Here, I hope that all the Soul Masters participating in this competition will fully demonstrate their strength and achieve excellent results. You are all the pride of the Heaven Dou Empire. For the glory of the Empire, show your brilliance!"

"Here, I want to emphasize once again that all Soul Masters participating in this competition are the treasures of the Heaven Dou Empire, the future and hope of the empire. I hope you will cherish this opportunity, fully demonstrate your strength, and fight not only for personal honor, but also for the glory of the empire. Show your brilliance and let the entire continent see the splendor of the Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"..." The people of the Heavenly Dou Empire were filled with excitement and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

Emperor Xueye raised his hand, and the audience below the stage fell silent.

"If we're talking about the most honored person present, I'm not among them. The most honored person here is the Spirit Hall, whom the entire continent shares the same faith in!"

"For this draw, we will have the Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall present to draw the lots for us."

"Hahaha, how can I compare to His Majesty in terms of honor!" Salas said, but his actions betrayed his words. He bypassed the Snow Night Emperor and went to the place where the lot was drawn.

Before Emperor Xueye could respond, Prince Xuexing's expression darkened.

Ning Fengzhi frowned.

The Snow Night Emperor calmly gazed at Salas ahead. It was unclear what the aged emperor was thinking.

The Spirit Hall is powerful; the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, who is stationed in Heaven Dou City, is a Soul Douluo-level expert.

Dallas reached into the lottery box, his eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi and the others behind him.

From an angle where no one was around, Salas curled his lips into a sinister smile.

Salas quickly stretched out his hand, holding a slip of paper with the words "Elephant Armor" written on it.

"Looks like my luck isn't so good!" Salas's tone was extremely irritating.

Whether it was Prince Xuexing, Ning Fengzhi, or the several members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy sitting in the back, everyone present could hear the provocation in the other party's words.

Salas didn't care what they were thinking; behind him stood the Spirit Hall. As the Platinum Cardinal of the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City, and a Soul Douluo himself, he was a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall.

He was well aware of the Spirit Hall's decision. Their strategy against the Heaven Dou Empire had been decided; his current task was to suppress the Heaven Dou Empire and its royal family's authority, paving the way for the Spirit Hall's plans.

Soon, the announcer's voice rang out, "Opening match: Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Vice Team vs. Elephant Armor Academy!"

The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's vice-team were the first to enter the arena. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy's vice-team looked like a group of delicate young masters and ladies, each dressed in flamboyant attire. However, even so, all seven of them were high-level Soul Masters.

On the other side, the people from Xiangjia Academy also went on stage.

The seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy team were all very tall and robust, resembling small, moving mountains. They wore uniform earth-colored clothing embroidered with intricate elephant armor patterns, giving them an air of both mystery and majesty.

All members of Elephant Armor Academy possess the Martial Soul of a Diamond Mammoth, granting them formidable defensive capabilities. Hu Yanli, as the team leader, holds the rank of Level 43 Defensive Battle Soul Master, possessing a robust physique and a powerful aura.

The two teams took their positions, and the seven teammates of the vice team of Tiandou Royal Academy all looked rather grim. If they had encountered a weak academy, they could have been arrogant and sarcastic, but their opponent was Elephant Armor Academy, which made them anything but happy.

"The match begins!" With the referee's command, both teams immediately launched their attacks.

Although the members of the vice-team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy look delicate, they are indeed quite fragile.

However, the members of Elephant Armor Academy were like an impregnable fortress. Their defense was astonishing. They remained calm and composed, allowing the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's vice team to attack them. However, the attacks from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's vice team could not break through their defenses.

This scene may not be very harmful, but it is extremely insulting!

Their Elephant Armor Sect has already pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall. With such a powerful backer, why would they care about the reputation of the Heaven Dou Empire and its royal family?

"Hmph, is that all you've got?" A member of the Elephant Armor Academy sneered, his voice echoing across the field like thunder.

"Since you're not moving, then it's our turn!"

Although Elephant Armor Academy primarily focuses on defense, their Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul also grants them formidable power. Against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's vice-team members, these pampered, sheltered Soul Masters, victory was practically effortless.
