Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 132 Semifinals

The Royal Auction House in Xingluo City, backed by the Royal Family, sells off Soul Tools acquired through various channels during the Soul Battle Tournament.

High-level soul tools are extremely rare, and there are none at level nine; mid-level soul tools are the majority.

All of these things testify to the Star Luo Empire's ambition to kill two birds with one stone.

Firstly, when high-level Soul Master academies from all sides come to Star Luo City, they will certainly bring a lot of money. The revenue generated from one auction is equivalent to that of dozens of regular auctions, which can increase the national treasury.

Secondly, the sale of numerous advanced mid-level soul tools to various teams in the original three continents can, to some extent, narrow the gap in soul tools between them and the advanced soul master academies of the Sun Moon Empire.

On Shrek's side, both the seven regular team members and the seven reserve team members received auction invitations distributed by Zhang Lexuan.

However, most team members only glanced at the auction house when they went to see the soul tool auction, and didn't pay any attention to it.

Zhang Lexuan did not force them. Everyone has their own ambitions and interests. Forcing them to do something is not a good thing.

This time, however, Beibei's attitude was very firm: she could not buy the soul tool, and she could not learn how to make it, but she absolutely could not not use it.

He instructed Huo Yuhao and He Caitou to jointly advise each team member to equip them with a mid-level quality soul tool, mostly instantaneous ones.

Including but not limited to soul-guided protective shields, teleportation soul-guided devices, fully charged soul-guided cannons...

Furthermore, with a wave of his hand, he declared that any damage or wear and tear during use would be covered by the academy's public account, requiring no personal compensation, and that replacements would be made as needed.

Beibei remembers the Hongchen siblings from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy; they are the dean's grandson and granddaughter.

Under my grandfather's principle of leadership, the team's trump cards must be top-notch and comprehensive.

In the original story, the two groups almost came to blows.

Whether for survival or for effortless combat, a suitable soul tool is of great use.

Of course, there were exceptions. Wang Dong absolutely refused to use it, and Bei Bei just let it go.

The main thing is that there's no need to worry about her safety. Even if you bring over the Death God Tower and Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, which are close to level 10 soul tools, in the end, only the two close to level 10 soul tools will be destroyed.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is progressing rapidly.

As the tide recedes and the remaining forces are sifted through, the average overall combat effectiveness continues to rise.

As a result, reserve team members in many teams have fewer and fewer opportunities to play.

With the highly respected senior sister above them, Ma Xiaotao, as the team leader, dared not arrange any unconventional tactics or formations.

Aside from Huo Yuhao, who is guaranteed to appear in team battles, the other reserve team members have very few opportunities to play, including Wang Dong, who can perform a martial soul fusion skill with Huo Yuhao.

After all, the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors of the main team are all at full health and in top condition. There is no need to pin our hopes on the Soul Fusion Skill of a two-ring Great Soul Master and a three-ring Soul Venerable to develop any miracles.

With Ma Xiaotao, a seven-ring Soul Saint cultivator, leading by a significant margin, as the team's spearhead, they swept through the competition and made it to the semi-finals.

Their opponent in the semifinals was the host team of this competition, the Star Luo Royal Academy team, whose captain was Xu Jiujiu, the younger sister of the current emperor, a princess with a powerful royal background.

The Xu family, with the power of a single sect, ruled a country, replacing the Dai family and becoming the rulers of the Star Luo Empire. The Star Crown Martial Soul passed down through generations of the family played an indispensable role in this success.

Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown Technique, which he used with his Star Crown Martial Soul, could even interfere with the Spirit Eye Martial Soul's mental detection skills, preventing it from transmitting the ever-changing information on the battlefield to his teammates in time. In effect, this skill was disabled.

But Ma Xiaotao, as the team leader, did not panic at all.

So what if she doesn't have it? She can still defeat her opponents even without mental detection.

When selecting the players to play, Ma Xiaotao chose almost the strongest lineup.

The three main attackers in the starting team are Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and herself.

There's also Ling Luochen with ice control, Gongyang Mo with seven-colored dragon support, Xixi with lightning agility, and Huo Yuhao.

Let alone disabling the mental detection provided by the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, even disabling him as a person would be harmless.

On the field, things can change in an instant.

The offensive players at the forefront of the team have already engaged in close combat.

Using an extremely rare soul tool, the Nine-Turn Soul Instrument, the Dark Tiger King Battle Soul King, who was the main attacker, temporarily absorbed the soul power of three allied soul masters for his own use.

Surprisingly, he was able to hold his own against Dai Yueheng, a six-ring Soul Emperor with the amplification of the Seven-Colored Dragon, for a short period of time.

Another key attacker from the Star Luo Royal Academy team, the Battle Soul King with a bear-like martial soul, was suppressed but still managed to hold off Chen Zifeng.

The five-ring agility-based Soul Kings from both teams then engaged in a one-sided battle.

As for Ma Xiaotao, Shrek Academy's strongest weapon, Xu Jiujiu certainly hadn't forgotten her.

From the battle group fighting Dai Yueheng, a support-type Soul King who controls both wind and fire elements was selected to slow down Ma Xiaotao's advance by absorbing fire elements.

And then he pulled out a trump card, an extremely rare seventh-order soul tool, an absolute defensive soul tool.

These are considered unique soul tools in the original Three Kingdoms period, as they are extremely difficult to make and no one knows how to craft them; each one used reduces the number of available ones.

The generated defensive shield can withstand attacks below the Contra level for up to 15 minutes.

The reaction force can also trap Ma Xiaotao inside the defensive shield.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the Royal Academy of the Star Luo Empire, with a large family, great wealth, and profound heritage.

While their own ability to develop soul tools is not strong, they produce a constant stream of powerful and rare soul tools.

With the front line of the arena barely stable, Xu Jiujiu immediately relied on her Star Crown Martial Soul to cast a domain shield and protect herself with the Star Crown.

A sky-blue star crown appeared on her head, its starlight scattering across the arena, forcefully breaking through Ling Luochen's ice control over the entire arena, isolating her opponent, and dividing the battlefield.

This was also the result of her continuous observation of the arena. Just as Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice amplification was about to reach Ling Luochen, she immediately activated the Star Crown Protection.

Once Ling Luochen's ice attribute is upgraded to the ultimate ice, he, who is at the same level and belongs to the same support-type Soul King, will no longer be a match for her.

"Thank goodness I made it in time!"

Xu Jiujiu was now drenched in sweat and his face was deathly pale, due to both the rapid depletion of his soul power and the intense tension he was under.

Without even taking a breath, he quickly absorbed the pacifier that replenished his soul power, while simultaneously charging the soul-guided cannon.

Their team was far weaker than Shrek Academy's team in terms of overall strength. They had to rack their brains, put aside personal pride, and use a large number of soul tools that were almost beyond their capabilities to barely gain an advantage.

As an imperial princess and the emperor's own sister, her personal honor and disgrace meant nothing to her; she was willing to sacrifice everything for the glory of the empire.
