Douluo Continent: I Raise God-Level Soul Beasts

Preparing for the second annual Shenqi competition, now in its fifth year.

The major forces of Douluo Continent and Douqi Continent have basically completed their integration. The Spirit Hall has managed the situation to a certain extent, and there are no major fluctuations, but minor frictions are inevitable.

With the high standards and effective promotion of the Divine Rise Competition, the event has become increasingly popular, becoming the most talked-about topic among cultivators and ordinary people across the continent.

By three days before the start of the competition, the number of registered participants had reached 200,000, and people from some remote cities and states were still on their way to register.

This is a huge number.

In the past, on the Douluo Continent, the total number of surviving Soul Masters in an entire era was far less than 200,000.

The omens from the tournament five years ago have come true; the minimum skill level required for this tournament has already reached the God level (Battle Master).

The age limit is 25 years old.

It's worth noting that in the original Douluo Continent novel, the protagonist Tang San's age at becoming a god was no more than this.

And now, it's become the lowest limit! It's the sewers! How terrifying!

Although the competition was held in multiple venues, countless people had already come to watch at the main venue.

It was an alternate dimension, spanning a hundred kilometers in size. This hundred-kilometer area could accommodate tens or hundreds of millions of people watching the game simultaneously. It contained countless floating screens that could broadcast the images and sounds from the center of the stadium in real time.

The battleground in the center of the arena is even more incredible.

That was a microcosm, created by Bibi Dong and Su Ze together.

Inside, nebulae glittered, and various celestial bodies intertwined and shone brightly, forming a space within a space.

They can freely travel between those planets and spaces until they destroy everything.

This gives players more room to maneuver and allows for spatial combat.

The edge of the battle platform is covered by a faint light barrier, which looks like a soap bubble that would burst if poked. However, when you actually touch it, you will find that it is incredibly solid. Even a god-level powerhouse might not be able to break it.

The timid gods from the divine realm came to observe the venue. They had been behaving themselves for so many years without causing any trouble, and thus earned the opportunity to become judges and commentators.

Watching the God Rising Tournament, the God Kings of the God Realm kept shaking their heads and sighing in despair:

"It's over, our divine realm is finished, we'll never be able to hold our heads high again!"

"Father God, Su Ze is absolutely our Father God! He directly created a mini-universe!"

"I feel that this isn't even his full strength..."

"Do you think that if His Highness Su Ze went all out, he could create a universe just like the one we live in now?"

"Hehe... Judging from the books on His Highness Su Ze's bookshelf, the universe began with a singularity..."

"Wait, didn't the universe begin with God the Father?"

"Superficial! Ignorant! This is clearly the result of a lack of education!"

"The universe originated from a Big Bang, which evolved from a state of extremely high density and temperature in the past and reached this state through continuous expansion. This view is known as the Big Bang theory or the Big Bang singularity theory!"

"The first second is a watershed moment in cosmic history. After this moment, the temperature of the universe has dropped to a level that can be described using our current physics knowledge, thus obtaining a roughly accurate bird's-eye view of the universe. Before that second, the dense, hot universe was a collection of particles whose behavior was beyond our comprehension. Existing physical laws were insufficient to describe its behavior. These particles, due to some incomprehensible high-intensity explosions, expanded the universe. As time progressed, in an almost uniformly distributed space of matter, regions with slightly higher density attracted nearby matter through gravity, thus becoming even denser and forming gas clouds, stars, galaxies, and other structures observed by astronomy. The specific process depends on the form and quantity of matter in the universe, among which there may be three forms: cold dark matter, hot dark matter, and baryonic matter..."

"Can't understand."

"Damn it, this is making my head explode. I'm leaving."

"I don't understand either. What nonsense. Goodbye. I'm more concerned about TVXQ's match."

"Tch, a bunch of shallow gods, unable to comprehend the mysteries of the universe. One day you will regret your ignorance!"

They don't understand the Big Bang theory and find it difficult to comprehend it.

After all, they are all gods who use unscientific powers. How can we believe in science?

"I wonder what kind of strength the champion of this year's TVXQ competition will have."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

"In my opinion, one would probably need to be at the God-King level. I've heard that a contestant has already emerged who is a God-King level expert, and he's not even 25 years old yet. It's incredible; his future potential is limitless!"

"The God-King has ten levels, I wonder what level that person is?"

"Then I wouldn't know, since I'm not even at the God King level."

"In my opinion, the champion of this competition will be chosen from these fifty people!"

In the grand square of Zhongzhou, a man displayed a list, attracting a large crowd of curious onlookers.

"Which fifty people are you referring to? Is it really true? Why should we believe you?"

"Don't believe me? I'll explain it to you in detail. If you have money, you can support me financially; if you don't have money, you can support me by showing your presence. Also, I only accept Spirit Coins. I don't want any Gold Spirit Coins or Silver Spirit Coins."

The Spirit Coin is a new type of currency launched by the Spirit Hall. It has a much greater function than ordinary gold coins and can be used to trade with all forces under the Spirit Hall, including the Monster Manor and the Gold Garden. Therefore, all major forces are more willing to accept this universal currency.

"Among these fifty people, let me start with the previous Shenqi Tournament. Xie Yue and Hu Liena are strong contenders for the overall championship. However, I am not very optimistic about them because their advantage in the individual competition cannot be brought into play."

These words drew nods of agreement from many viewers.

"Secondly, there's the runner-up, Tang San!"

"This kid was defeated by Xie Yue and Hu Liena back then, and has rarely appeared in everyone's sight since. Just recently, he appeared in the desert with his ancestor Tang Chen, showing amazing strength. Moreover, he has also gained a second divine soul, and has at least the strength of a fourth-level God King!"

Boom!

"Tang San has already become a God King? And at level four at that?"

"Please note that he said at least level four, which means he doesn't know the specifics, maybe it's higher, but he could also be talking nonsense."

"Anything else? Anything else?"

"None of these are particularly interesting. Are there any dark horses?"

Someone yelled.

"Clap clap clap!"

The man clapped his hands: "A dark horse? Good question! There really is a dark horse! I've been investigating and searching for this person for a long time!"

"What makes this person so remarkable is that he cultivates in the manor, spending at least eight months of the year there and only traveling for three or four months. It is said that his strength increases significantly each time he does so. In his most recent attack, he defeated two three-star Dou Sheng experts, and it is said that they were not even at his full strength!"

"Who?"

"Who?!"

Everyone asked questions, and the man smiled slightly:

"Wutan City, the Xiao family, Xiao Yan!"

Most people are unfamiliar with this name, but two groups of people were deeply moved.

The first is the Gu family, one of the eight ancient clans, and the second is the Yunlan Sect.

"Speaking of Xiao Yan, many of you may not know him. Let me tell you his story in detail. In the Yunlan Sect... And Nalan Yanran is also participating in this Divine Rise Tournament. I wonder if she will continue the flames of that three-year agreement..."

Chapter 194 Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran

Just before the start of the match, cultivators from both continents surged into the viewing area through the space tunnel like a tide, filling both the branch venues and the main venue to capacity.

In each waiting area, the contestants had pre-competition talks with their teachers and elders.

Although the battle zones are divided into two main categories, team battles and individual battles, it is clear that individual battles attract more attention from Battle Masters, while Soul Masters prefer team battles.

In fact, both team and individual competitions have their own highlights.

Team battles emphasize cooperation between team members and the combination of various moves. With more players on the field, there are more variations. However, because team battles for Soul Masters often involve turn-based situations, it can sometimes lead to aesthetic fatigue.

Individual competitions, on the other hand, place more emphasis on overall individual ability, better showcase individual strength, and are more likely to produce individual hero champions.

Because team competitions are rare, practically nonexistent, on the Dou Qi Continent, very few teams participate in them. Therefore, team competitions are likely still more like the Soul Master battles on the Douluo Continent.

However, many Soul Masters from the Douluo Continent participate in the individual competition to compete against the Dou Shi from the Dou Qi Continent. Among them, there are often many offensive Soul Masters, control Soul Masters, and agile attack Soul Masters, while defensive Soul Masters are relatively few. Support and food-type Soul Masters are almost extinct in the individual competition.

"Teacher, can I really do this?"

The 33rd regional arena includes the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire.

Nalan Yanran asked her master, Yun Yun, without much confidence.

Ever since she was utterly defeated by Xiao Yan last time, her confidence has completely collapsed. She lacks sufficient belief in fighting, and even though Yun Yun helped her, she still feels a thorn in her side.

"Perhaps, only when she faces Xiao Yan again, fights him and wins, can Yanran stand up again."

Yun Yun thought to herself.

"Go. Your strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the past five years. Believe in yourself, and you will find yourself again in battle."

Yun Yun encouraged Nalan Yanran, saying that her first opponent was not very strong, which was good news for her.

Watching Nalan Yanran's departing figure, Yun Yun's eyes were filled with melancholy as her mind drifted into memories.

Back then, after the battle of the three-year agreement, she took Nalan Yanran to the manor, hoping to find a glimmer of opportunity. Although they wandered around for a long time without seeing Su Ze, they still obtained an opportunity.

It was Juhua Pass that took them in and put them to work at Jinyuan. Later, they discovered a place called Shuiyue Cave, where a group of monkeys lived. The monkeys revered a golden-haired monkey king. For some reason, the monkeys liked them very much, so they left them in Shuiyue Cave to take care of the monkeys.

The Monkey King was incredibly powerful, so powerful that Yun Yun couldn't even describe it; he far surpassed her abilities.

In order to stay in the Golden Garden and enjoy those god-like treatments, Yun Yun relinquished the heavy responsibilities of the Yunlan Sect.

Actually, this wasn't just for Nalan Yanran, but also for herself.

Everything in Jin Yuan shocked her, and the combined power of Su Ze and Bibi Dong made her realize that there was a wider world out there, which allowed her to bravely step out of that cage.

As it turns out, this choice was absolutely correct. The Yunlan Sect, which was listed as a bottom-tier force, has been left behind by other forces in the past five years. If we don't count Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, the strongest person in the Yunlan Sect is currently only a Dou Zun (equivalent to a first-level main god).

Meanwhile, the Mittel family and the Xiao family of the Gama Empire already possessed several God-King level powerhouses.

The Medical Association, which is a first-level power under the leadership of Little Fairy Doctor, is also guarded by a super god-level expert (Dou Di).

Secondly, in the Central Plains, forces such as the ancient clans also have Dou Di (Battle Emperor) in charge, and some even have more than one.

Although the Yunlan Sect declined, this master and disciple pair rose to prominence.

Inside the Water Moon Cave, they received feedback from the Monkey King.

That peach, growing atop the divine tree, was crystal clear and radiated a sacred light. When consumed with holy water, just one bite could transform one's constitution.

It was a thick, yellow, super-sized banana with clear golden veins on its surface. As you slowly peeled it along those veins, you could see plump banana flesh inside, its curved shape perfectly upright, making Yun Yun blush upon first sight...

There were also kiwis, big apples... all of which contained immense spiritual energy. After eating those things, within a few months, they broke through to the pinnacle they had never imagined before... Battle King... Battle Emperor... Battle Master...

Five years have passed since then. Yun Yun has become a peak God King, while Nalan Yanran has also entered the God King realm.
