Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

As soon as the referee raised his hand, both teams immediately took their positions. At the same time, all 108 Star Luo Empire Soul Masters who were already prepared in the audience pressed down on the metal pillars in front of them.

One hundred and eight metal pillars shined brightly at the same time, and suddenly, white lights rose into the sky, drawing arcs and converging into the sky. Finally gathered in the air twenty meters above the top of the competition stage.

When all 108 beams of light converged, a white light curtain descended, enveloping the entire arena. The protective shield was complete. This also meant that the first match of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was about to begin.

At Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, the seven people quickly lined up in a typical traditional formation. Three Soul Masters were in front, clearly either offensive or defensive types. Two Soul Masters were positioned slightly behind on either side, presumably agility-type Soul Masters. The two Soul Masters at the very back, in the center, were positioned one in front of the other. According to the traditional layout, they should be a control-type battle Soul Master and a support-type weapon Soul Master, respectively.

This is the optimal arrangement of seven people, tested through countless battles. If the main focus is on offense, the first three should all be offensive types; if the focus is on defense and stability, then there should be one or two defensive type battle spirit masters.

This traditional formation is also called the 3-2-1 formation.

However, at this moment, very few people were paying attention to the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Shrek Academy's side, and their gaze caused them to unconsciously gasp in surprise. The loudest gasps, however, came from the more than one hundred advanced academy teams participating in the competition. This was because Shrek Academy had adopted a formation that they simply couldn't comprehend.

Shen Yumo stood at the very front of the formation, his captivating face now filled with arrogance. The other six people were all behind him, forming a fan shape, like stars surrounding the moon, making him stand out.

What kind of formation is this?

The advanced Soul Master academies that participated in the competition all had a certain reputation on the continent and had their own research on Soul Master combat techniques. However, no academy had ever studied this formation before.

The formation gave the impression that the other six were cheering for Shen Yumo, as if he were the only one to fight. What an incomprehensible scene! After sending out its reserve team, Shrek Academy brought another shock to everyone.

Even the referee was a bit dumbfounded. Those who could serve as referees for this competition were naturally high-level Soul Masters selected by the Star Luo Empire. Each competition was hosted by a major empire, a time for the nation to showcase its strength to the outstanding talents of various academies. Naturally, they would go all out. But this referee had never seen a team battle with this formation before! He even forgot to lower his raised right hand.

"Referee, can we begin?" Shen Yumo said calmly to the referee.

He was young, but his voice was calm and mature beyond his years. Standing at the front, he had become the focus of everyone's attention.

The referee then realized what was happening, lowered his raised right hand, and shouted, "The match begins!" Regardless of the formation, all he cared about was ensuring the smooth running of the game.

With the referee's loud shout, both teams released their martial spirits almost simultaneously.

The seven students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were truly formidable. Their halos, primarily yellow and purple, radiated dazzling brilliance. Five of them possessed four soul rings, while only two were at the three-ring level. The young man in the lead had four particularly dazzling soul rings, clearly indicating that his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Soul Master realm. Reaching this level at the age of twenty was already quite remarkable.

But the opponents they encountered were no ordinary ones.

Shen Yumo!

Chapter 163 The Tournament: Dream of the Mortal World

Shen Yumo!

He broke through to the Soul King level at the age of fourteen and obtained a 100,000-year Soul Ring. He is truly outstanding!

Although the optimal combination of four spirit rings was indeed very attractive, at this moment, no one paid any attention to the situation at Tianling Advanced Spirit Master Academy. Almost all the spectators' eyes were focused on Shrek Academy, or more precisely, on Shen Yumo, who was already striding forward.

The boy stood with his hands in his pockets, wearing a smart and upright Shrek Academy uniform. The faint smile at the corner of his mouth added to his charming appeal.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Team.

When Meng Hongchen saw that tall, blue-clad figure, she couldn't help but shiver. Her beautiful eyes were already filled with tears as she stared intently at the dazzling figure on the stage.

One sentence kept repeating in my mind.

It's him!

It must be him!

"That bastard..." she thought, as a few glistening tears slowly streamed down her perfect cheeks.

Perhaps the boy noticed the strange gaze behind him and glanced back casually. That one glance made Meng Hongchen even more certain that this person was that bastard named Shen Yumo! The shameless bastard who stole her heart!

At that very moment, an indescribable aura of terror suddenly appeared on the competition stage.

The crimson light illuminated the entire arena in an instant. An atmosphere filled with chilling coldness, cruelty, slaughter, madness, and other terrifying elements suddenly erupted.

Shen Yumo's body rippled slowly around her as if she had fallen into water, and violent soul power filled every corner of the arena. Five soul rings rose from her back, yellow, purple, black, and red! Before the audience could even marvel at the ten-thousand-year soul rings, they noticed the red one!

What does red signify? It signifies the pinnacle of spirit rings, terrifying power, and a hundred thousand years!

The appearance of a 100,000-year spirit ring on a five-ring spirit master was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Exclamations of astonishment erupted simultaneously from hundreds of thousands of people, like a tidal wave. The deafening sound was simply too intense. Even the Emperor, Empress, and all the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire on the city wall rose to their feet in shock.

The first thought that crossed everyone's mind was that it was impossible; it was impossible for a fifth spirit ring to be a 100,000-year spirit ring, especially for such a young child. Yet, the aura of a 100,000-year spirit ring was both terrifying and incredibly real.

Moreover, in many people's minds, Shrek Academy has long been a mythical existence!

Suddenly, the crimson spirit ring expanded dramatically! At that very moment, it shone brightly. The seven students from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Spirit Master Academy opposite them almost simultaneously let out a muffled groan.

The sudden appearance of that 100,000-year-old spirit ring was shocking to the audience, let alone the already extremely tense students of Tianling Academy on stage.

When they sensed that terrifying aura, almost everyone quickly retreated and huddled together.

Red ripples suddenly appeared within a hundred meters around them. In the boy's bloodshot eyes, the seven people from Tianling Academy were instantly slowed down by a ratio of one to one hundred! They were as slow as snails!

"What are you waiting for? Go!" Shen Yumo shouted at Bei Bei and the others, hovering in mid-air with a cold look in her eyes.

Even though they had witnessed the strangeness of his soul skills during the previous assessment, Jiang Nannan, Beibei, and the others were still shocked when they saw it again! They even forgot Shen Yumo's words of comfort.

Upon hearing Shen Yumo's roar, the six figures sprang into action. Bei Bei was enveloped in lightning, her arms resembling a dragon's head! Jiang Nannan leaped gracefully to the opposite side, unleashing an over-the-shoulder throw, while Wang Dong, Xu Sanshi, and Xiao Xiao all used their own soul skills!

Amidst the dazzling explosion of spirit skills, the thunderous shock seemed to pierce the sky! The referee, glancing closely and noticing something amiss, revealed his eight spirit rings, shielding the Tianling Academy students from the attack. Why didn't Shen Yumo intervene, instead exposing Bei Bei and her group's spirit skills?

The reason is that if he attacks too fast and doesn't control his strength well, those people might be dead before the referee can react! So he chose to use his domain control skill, letting them finish off the damage.

After the thunderous roar subsided, the referee finally reacted. He saw that the disciples from Tianling Academy had already been escorted down, but their bodies remained stiff, as if under some evil curse. The 108 Soul Masters responsible for protecting the arena had also withdrawn their Soul Power. Clearly, the match was indeed over.

The Star Luo Grand Hall, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, including the Star Luo Empire's royal family, civil and military officials, and more than a hundred other advanced soul masters and soul master academies, was completely silent at this moment.

Those who had previously doubted Shrek Academy sending out a reserve team now stared wide-eyed at the deep golden chasm on the competition stage.

They were even unable to breathe and had difficulty swallowing.

Countless people cried out "Impossible!" when they saw that 100,000-year spirit ring, but at that moment, their "impossible" was mixed with hesitation, shock, fear, or even hysterical excitement.

"Who is that person? Why have I never heard of him before? Investigate him, investigate his name at all costs." Emperor Xingluo kept his eyes fixed on the blue-haired youth who had safely descended the platform. A strange light flickered in his eyes.

Before everyone could recover, Shen Yumo took Jiang Nannan's hand and walked off the stage, followed by Beibei and the others.

Because Shrek Academy left immediately after the match, the entire competition was interrupted for several minutes. Their departure also took away the attention of all the spectators.

A fervor gradually spread through everyone's eyes. Yes! This was Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world, revered like a god in their hearts! This was the strength of Shrek Academy. A 100,000-year spirit ring! That boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old was actually the true leader of Shrek Academy in this competition!

The most shocked were the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. At this moment, their faces were extremely pale, but a silver-haired woman was secretly shedding tears behind everyone's back.

So many days and nights... so many longings, all turned into tears that welled up in Meng Hongchen's heart at this moment.

She shouldn't have gone to see her old friend. If she hadn't gone to see her old friend, she wouldn't have met the boy she had been longing for for several years.

I still remember the gift he gave me before he left: a carving knife.

That carving knife held countless memories for her. She naively thought she had gotten a great deal, that she had gotten a carving knife for free! She was wrong. She only got a carving knife, but she lost her heart!

……

Chapter 164 That person's surname is Shen

It all depends on that boy!

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth with her small hand, trying hard not to make a sobbing sound, but tears kept flowing uncontrollably...

Just then, someone gently patted her on the back. Meng Hongchen, who was crying, trembled and quickly wiped the tears from her face. She was very proud! In the eyes of others, she was an extremely outstanding martial spirit master and a gifted soul instructor, and she always had to maintain her pride.

As soon as she turned her head, Meng Hongchen froze, her eyes becoming even redder and more moist. The tears she had just held back burst forth like a dam breaking, streaming down her face.

The person who arrived was none other than her own brother. Meng Hongchen's defenses crumbled once more, and she buried her face in Xiao Hongchen's arms, bursting into tears. In front of Xiao Hongchen, she always maintained her most innocent self.

"Don't cry... I'll teach him a lesson for you!" A dark glint flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, his narrow eyes staring coldly at the figure leaving the stage.

The faint sobbing attracted the attention of the other team members. When they discovered that the person crying was Meng Hongchen, a stunningly beautiful girl who was both intimidating and fearsome, they stopped in their tracks to comfort her, more out of fear of the two siblings.

A man with fiery red hair and a robust physique walked over with a hesitant and uneasy air.

"Xiao Hongchen, was Meng Hongchen bullied?" Ma Rulong asked, walking worriedly to Xiao Hongchen's side.

“Yes, that guy surnamed Shen…” Xiao Hongchen’s gaze was somewhat fierce at this moment, which made Ma Rulong, who was standing next to her, feel the surrounding air seem to chill a bit…

"Someone surnamed Shen?" Ma Rulong's expression hardened as he searched his mind for anyone with the surname Shen... After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that there was a person named Shen Yumo!

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen smiled strangely, "Ma Rulong, don't you like my sister? I can give you a chance to pursue my sister, but I have one condition: you have to injure or defeat that person named Shen Yumo!"

Ma Rulong's breath hitched. He suddenly remembered the person in the competition who had a 100,000-year soul ring and was one of the five-ring Soul Kings. Thinking about his god-like soul skill, his breathing quickened and he was caught in a dilemma...

He swallowed hard, glanced at the pitiful girl in Xiao Hongchen's arms, hardened his heart, and suddenly raised his head, saying, "Fine!" After saying this, he turned and left. He would do anything for the one he loved.

Xiao Hongchen let out a long sigh, his expression growing increasingly strange. "Those without strength are unworthy of my sister... Heh heh..."

……

However, given Shen Yumo's immense influence today, whichever college team encounters them next will likely be filled with fear.

In the meeting room, the reserve team members sat in a circle.

Wang Yan carefully inquired about Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's injuries. After learning that they would still be unable to participate in the competition within three days, Wang Yan sighed in disappointment and turned his gaze to the more composed person in the reserve team.

"Beibei, there are only three days left. You won't receive any support for three days! Can you manage?"

Beibei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Wang, please rest assured, we will do our best to win every game before the reinforcements or senior students recover."

Wang Yan nodded, letting out a long, weary sigh, and turned his gaze to a handsome young man. "Yu Mo, you've already revealed enough. You shouldn't play in the next match, or you should wait for the best opportunity to play in the next match."

Shen Yumo pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and nodded, "Okay."

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament is in full swing, but Shen Yumo's performance in the first battle and her personal charm have already been deeply imprinted in the minds of every contestant and audience member.

……

Master Shen, who has been busy all day, deserves a rest.

Holding Jiang Nannan's soft, boneless little hand, he gently walked to the front of his room.

Shen Yumo stopped walking, her eyes glowing slightly, and her high throat moving slightly.

There was no way she could resist Jiang Nannan's allure. Her rabbit ears drooped low, her eyes were filled with passionate, watery light, and a tempting blush rose on her fair cheeks. Her graceful figure swayed shyly. How could she not notice the situation...?

"Nannan, gulp... come into my room for a drink of water?" Shen Yumo's eyes lit up, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

A thousand furnaces were burning in her heart, she was overjoyed! Heavens! Earth! You have eyes! I, Shen Yumo, am about to shed my virginity... cough cough, I'm about to shed my inexperience...

"it is good……"

Even though her voice was barely audible, Shen Yumo, who had his ears perked up, still heard it and couldn't help but give an uncharacteristically lewd smile. Brothers, you know what I mean…

After looking around and finding no one, Shen Yumo pulled Jiang Nannan, who was standing there blushing, into the room and quickly closed the door.

I must say, this hotel is incredibly luxurious. The interior is not only spacious but also opulent and glittering, with several magnificent crystal chandeliers hanging overhead, and even the floor glittering. The entire room exudes an air of extravagance.
