I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Elder Ma, the instructor of the Sun Moon Royal Academy, stepped forward and said, "Alright, alright, let's do it according to Ji Juechen's idea."

"This is also a good opportunity to test Xu Xingyu's strength. After all, Ji Juechen is the strongest fighter in our Sun Moon Team. Although that soul skill that seals soul power is very powerful, according to my observation, the condition for sealing his soul power is that he must be entangled by chains."

"Although Ji Juechen's speed isn't fast, his sword intent is enough to deflect those chains and prevent him from being bound by them. Even if he can't win in the end, he should still be able to deplete a lot of the opponent's soul power."

After listening to his mentor's analysis, Ma Rulong finally gave in and agreed to Ji Juechen's request.

To be honest, Ma Rulong really couldn't understand why Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, would let this guy be a member of the Soul Master Competition.

He wouldn't deny that Ji Juechen's combat strength was absolutely the strongest among all the students in the Sun Moon Royal Academy (considering only opponents of the same rank).

However, he has a flaw: he is very unsociable and always acts according to his own standards. He will not follow any instructions unless the other party can gain his approval or is more capable than him.

If there is no one in this competition who can ignite his fighting spirit, he might not even bother to step onto the field.

The same thing happened in previous matches. During the semi-finals, they requested that Ji Juechen play, but the opposing team refused, saying that the students from Di'ao Academy were too weak and lacked the desire to fight.

The fact that someone is applying to be the first in the individual battle clearly shows that they are impressed by Xu Xingyu's fighting ability and think that he is a strong person, which is why they want to fight him.

As for why Jing Hongchen let Ji Juechen take the stage, it was mainly due to the Judgment Sword, an eighth-level soul tool with the power of a ninth-level soul tool.

The Sword of Judgment is a soul tool produced by Mingde Hall. It is a very powerful soul tool, possessing the ability to control both light and darkness, two conflicting attributes.

It also has a special ability: it can briefly transform the other party into one of the two attributes of light or darkness, and then use the opposite element to perform the judgment.

It truly lives up to its name as the Sword of Judgment.

In the original story, Ma Rulong sacrificed his own life to use this sword to drive Ma Xiaotao into a desperate situation, and even almost killed her.

If it weren't for Ma Rulong granting Ma Xiaotao a dark attribute and then using a light attribute to judge her, causing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire to be ignited by the dark attribute, and finally the evil fire erupting and her martial soul mutating into a dark phoenix that completely went out of control and turned the tide, then in the original story, the Sun and Moon Team should have won.

However, by sheer chance, Ji Juechen was invited to be a tester for the Sword of Judgment. To Jing Hongchen's surprise, Ji Juechen, the Soul Emperor, was able to control the Sword of Judgment almost perfectly.

Therefore, after making numerous agreements with Ji Juechen, Jing Hongchen not only made him the owner of the Sword of Judgment, but also demanded that he achieve a good result for the Sun Moon Royal Academy in this competition.

Ji Juechen readily agreed, not only because he enjoyed challenging strong opponents and because the Soul Master Competition featured the legendary Shrek Academy, but also because he personally adored the Sword of Judgment.

He felt, deep down, that this sword of judgment was his true destiny, the most suitable sword for him.

However, the Sun and Moon team was completely unaware of these matters and believed that the leader of the hall had only taken a liking to Ji Juechen's personal strength.

To be honest, although this idea is very wrong, many team members are looking forward to Ji Juechen facing off against Xu Xingyu and getting beaten up, so that they won't be bothered by this madman.

However, considering that this matter concerns the Soul Master Competition of their Sun Moon Empire's glory, they can only keep these thoughts to themselves and hope that Ji Juechen can significantly deplete the Shrek team's combat strength.

Therefore, after making some tactical adjustments with Ji Juechen as the starting player, the Sun and Moon team has made full preparations for the upcoming individual battles.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen this time.

The individual competition is fast approaching, and both teams have already arrived.

At the exact moment the match time was up, the referee, Tian Sha Douluo, announced: "The individual matches of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament Finals are about to begin. Please prepare your positions!"

With the referee's oath, the first player from each team began to take the field.

The Sun Moon Royal Academy sent Ji Juechen, who had never competed in the Soul Master Competition before, while Shrek Academy sent Ma Xiaotao.

The Sun and Moon Team was somewhat surprised by Shrek's decision, but upon closer inspection, Ma Xiaotao seemed to be a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse, given that she had released her Soul Ring in previous matches.

However, since Ma Xiaotao's only outstanding performance in the entire competition, besides having six spirit rings, was her berserk state at the end of the Xingluo match, the Sun and Moon Team at most believed that the opponent was very strong, but not as threatening as Xu Xingyu.

However, the moment Ma Xiaotao stepped onto the stage, Ji Juechen suddenly spoke up: "You're strong, but you're not the opponent I want. Surrender. I want to fight Xu Xingyu."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao, who already had a bad temper, exploded and yelled, "What, do you look down on women?!"

!

?! ?! ?

"It doesn't matter to me whether my opponent is a woman or a man. It's simply that I'm more interested in him, and I can sense that he has something I want in him."

Most people were confused by Ji Juechen's words, but Xu Xingyu knew what Ji Juechen was thinking.

It was probably during the match in Xingluo that he sensed the sword intent contained in the last move Ji Juechen used. For a master like Ji Juechen who uses sword intent, sparring with a strong person who can use sword intent is more attractive than any battle between people of the same level.

However, unaware of the reason behind this, Ma Xiaotao roared, "If you want to fight our Shrek Captain, you have to defeat me first!"

"So if I beat you, I can fight Xu Xingyu?"

"If you win, you can fight whoever you want!"

Because of her fiery temper, Ma Xiaotao unknowingly made a bet with Ji Juechen, agreeing that if he won, Xu Xingyu would play in the next match.

However, according to Wang Yan's plan, Xu Xingyu was the last person to appear, and before the individual competition began, each team had to hand over the order of appearance of their members to the referee.

Therefore, if Xu Xingyu, who is at the back of the team, goes on the field, then the other team members in the middle will be considered to have conceded defeat.

All I can say is that Wang Yan and the others in the audience really wanted to pull Ma Xiaotao down, pry open her head, and see if she had a brain inside.
