below.
Xu Tianran sat in his chair, turned to look at Jing Hongchen beside him, and said, "According to the competition roster, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will be making their appearance later. Hall Master Jing, how many people does the Sun Moon team need to send to defeat the Dragon Slayer Sect in the individual elimination rounds?"
In fact, every major tournament has a rule that the champion team plays in the first round.
Xu Tianran did not change this rule, but chose to continue it.
He felt that this would allow the people of Sun and Moon to see the strength of the Sun and Moon team in advance, and raise their spirits.
Of course, doing so would not reveal the Sun Moon Team's trump card, since a mere Dragon Slayer Sect member would definitely be dealt with by the Sun Moon Team in a short time.
The so-called Dragon Slayer Sect was the Sun and Moon Team's first opponent.
It is a sect in the Douling Empire, with a history of over a thousand years.
Sitting to the side, Jing Hongchen gave a polite smile and said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, we only need to send one person to defeat the Dragon Slaying Sect in the individual elimination round."
Emperor Riyue is currently in a coma, but a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Therefore, Crown Prince Xu Tianran can temporarily handle the affairs of the empire. That is why Xu Tianran has now assumed the position of Regent.
Xu Tianran was somewhat surprised: "Oh? Just send one person? You mean to have Xiao Hongchen, the strongest in the team, bombard everyone with soul-guided cannons in every match? If the Dragon Slaying Sect adopts a strategy of attrition warfare, it will be a considerable pressure for Xiao Hongchen. The milk bottle can replenish soul power, but it cannot replenish the energy he has lost."
Although he had Orange as an undercover agent, the Sun and Moon team kept their strength too well hidden. Even Orange couldn't find out any information about it. In addition, he was too busy with other matters to care about such things, so he didn't know the Sun and Moon team's exact strength at the moment.
Admittedly, he could use his status to immediately suppress Jing Hongchen and find out the true strength of the Sun Moon Team. However, when he thought about Kong Deming's current attitude towards Huo Yuhao and how the other party frequently went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he gave up the idea. He did not want to further deteriorate his relationship with Kong Deming at this time.
However, during this time, he discussed many things with the Holy Spirit Cult, and their relationship progressed well. Ye Xishui even praised him for having the bearing of an emperor, and then arranged for the Limit Douluo Long Xiaoyao to support him.
In Xu Tianran's view now, even if the Holy Spirit Cult does not win the championship as agreed, he will still promote the Holy Spirit Cult to the state religion and promote Zhongli Wu to the position of national advisor.
As for Kong Deming's opinion, Xu Tianran believed that everything could be discussed, and there was nothing that couldn't be discussed. As long as sufficient benefits were offered, Kong Deming would definitely be able to stop targeting the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Your Highness, I believe the Sun and Moon team will give you a surprise."
A smile appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. He didn't offer any further explanation. In any case, once the Sun and Moon Team made their move, Xu Tianran would know where his confidence came from. The Sun and Moon Team was no longer what it used to be.
At this moment, an old man stood on the stage with a megaphone-equipped soul tool and began to read out the competition rules. After a moment, the old man finished explaining the rules, a fanatical look appeared on his face: "Next is the first match of the preliminary elimination round. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will face off against the Dragon Slaying Sect. Both sides will send seven members."
Let's give a warm round of applause to the defending champions of the Soul Battle Tournament—the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!
Upon hearing this, thunderous applause erupted from the stands, lasting for a long time and echoing in everyone's ears.
The people applauding were mostly from the Sun Moon Empire, since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had won the championship in the previous Soul Battle Tournament, which was undoubtedly something that the people of the Sun Moon Empire should be happy about.
It should be noted that since the Sun Moon Empire participated in the Soul Fighting Tournament, it has never won the championship. In fact, the championship of the so-called Soul Fighting Tournament has always been monopolized by Shrek Academy.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy broke Shrek Academy's monopoly on the championship.
Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy missed the chance to compete against Shrek Academy due to Shrek Academy's withdrawal from the competition, in the hearts of the people, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's victory undoubtedly brought honor to every member of the Sun Moon community.
The thought of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's championship victory fills even the poorest members of the Sun Moon population with pride.
As the applause subsided, cheers erupted from the crowd.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will prevail!"
"For the Empire, let's win all the way and take the championship again! Let's shatter the Shrek myth completely!"
Xuanzi, who was in the clouds in the sky, saw this scene and his face showed dissatisfaction: "The championship of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has no real value. It was obtained by taking advantage of others' misfortune."
If Shrek Academy had been at its peak at the time and hadn't withdrawn from the competition, it could have easily defeated Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has only won one championship, yet the people of the Sun Moon Empire are already so arrogant. Such an empire is destined to have a short lifespan.
Cai Meier's face showed helplessness. She thought to herself that the reason why Shrek Academy had a series of problems was completely related to Elder Xuan. Otherwise, Shrek Academy could have participated in the Soul Fighting Tournament in full force instead of withdrawing from the competition in the end.
"The first event is the individual elimination rounds. Referees, enter the arena! The first players from both sides, enter the arena!" the old man announced loudly.
Soon, an old man exuding the aura of a Title Douluo flew into the air above the arena. He scanned both teams with sharp eyes, waiting for the contestants to enter the arena.
Soon, the Dragon Slaying Sect sent out a tall, burly man.
On the other hand, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy sent Huo Yuhao, who is undoubtedly the strongest member of their team. Of course, because of his exceptional strength, he has now replaced Xiao Hongchen as the captain in the original story.
Chapter 306 He's slandering Shrek!
"In the individual elimination rounds, killing is prohibited. Once one side loses its fighting ability or concedes defeat, I will determine the winner," the referee said in a deep voice.
Huo Yuhao and the man from the Dragon Slaying Sect nodded in agreement. Then, both of them went to one end of the arena, got into fighting stances, and prepared to fight.
Huo Yuhao participated in the Soul Fighting Tournament naturally in order to win the individual elimination round as soon as possible. This was the Sun Moon Team's first match, and what they needed most was to demonstrate their power and show the strength of the champion team.
He is the strongest member of the Sun and Moon team, capable of crushing opponents at the fastest speed and saving match time. As for the possibility of leaking some of his techniques, it doesn't really matter. With his current strength, even if his opponents knew some of his techniques, they wouldn't be able to cope with him.
After all, in terms of mental strength alone, he is now comparable to a Super Douluo, and in this All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, no member of any participating team could reach the level of a Super Douluo.
The referee's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, a hint of awe in his eyes. In fact, he was not originally a referee; he was a retainer of the Sun and Moon Hall of Worship. He came to be a referee because of Kong Deming's instructions, and was responsible for every battle between the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and other teams.
This was actually done to protect the safety of the Sun and Moon Team. After all, every student in the Sun and Moon Team is a treasure of the empire and will become an indispensable powerhouse in the empire in the future.
According to the judges, Huo Yuhao, the deputy hall master of the Hall of Offerings, is not strong enough due to his age, but he has unlimited potential. He is someone who needs to be protected at the cost of one's life, after all, Huo Yuhao's contributions have left a deep impression on them.
The referee's eyes were practically glued to Huo Yuhao. In his view, winning or losing was not important; Huo Yuhao's safety was the top priority. Even if the Sun Moon Empire were to suddenly fall one day, as long as there was a peerless genius like Huo Yuhao, the Sun Moon Empire could still rise again.
The referee raised his right hand and explained the rules in a deep voice: "When my right hand falls, it means the match has started. Only then can you begin fighting. If you start fighting before that, it means you have violated the rules."
He paused for a moment as he spoke: "As for the punishment for violating the rules, it is a loss. Of course, there are many rules in the competition, and I will not go into detail here. Let's just take cheating as an example."
Cheating is also a violation of the rules, so I'm warning certain teams that don't play dirty tricks not to cheat, or they will also be disqualified.
A burst of cheerful laughter erupted from the stands. The crowd wore smiles with a special meaning as they all looked toward the waiting area where the Shrek Academy team was located. After all, Shrek Academy's cheating scandal in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament was still fresh in the minds of every Sun Moon citizen.
Jiang Nannan felt her face burning and felt embarrassed, so she subconsciously turned her head away to avoid eye contact. Meanwhile, Lan Susu and her sister, as well as Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and Xie Huanyue, were glaring fiercely at the crowd.
In Shrek Academy's internal propaganda, the so-called Shrek Academy cheating scandal was presented as a complete cover-up. Naturally, some Shrek students who were unaware of the inside story were extremely dissatisfied with the so-called cover-up.
As for Xu Sanshi, although he knew the inside story, he still braced himself, straightened his chest, and looked at the crowd with a resolute gaze.
Now he is the captain of the Shrek Academy team. No matter what the truth is, he must prioritize the interests of Shrek Academy and cannot back down.
In the sky, Xuanzi was furious: "This is slander! He's slandering our academy! What cheating? That's called a strategic win rate enhancement plan!"
This bastard dared to insult Shrek Academy! Once I've done what I must, I'll make him pay. I'll teach him a lesson: Shrek Academy's honor cannot be tarnished.
Cai Meier sighed. She thought to herself that the Shrek Academy cheating scandal was ultimately caused by Xuanzi. Yet, such a person was able to cultivate to the level 98 Super Douluo. If Shao Zhe were the second strongest in Shrek Academy, then such a scandal should not have occurred.
The referee below looked at Huo Yuhao and the man from the Dragon Slaying Sect, then slammed his right hand down heavily.
A smile immediately appeared on the face of the man from the Dragon Slaying Sect. He charged directly towards Huo Yuhao. At the same time, five spirit rings appeared on his body: two yellow, two purple, and one black. Clearly, he was a powerful Spirit King.
He knew that to defeat the Soul Masters of the Sun and Moon Sect, he had to close the distance.
Huo Yuhao is probably the youngest member of the Sun Moon team, and theoretically, he should be the easiest to deal with.
He let out a low growl, his muscles bulged, sharp horns emerged, and his eyes turned an earthy yellow, giving him a unique sense of weight and solidity.
Huo Yuhao looked at the man with a strange look in his eyes. Then, six spirit rings appeared on his body, two yellow, two purple and two black. In fact, the colors of his spirit rings were not like that. He did this just to conform to the public's perception.
After all, there's no need to show the true color of the spirit ring in public right now.
However, if this guy gets close to me so quickly, won't I lose even faster? Even with a mental attack, the closer the target is, the less time it takes to finish.
Thinking of this, his eyes gleamed with gold.
Soul shock!
Suddenly, the man stopped, then his eyes went blank, and he seemed to lose all his strength, falling straight down from the sky and crashing to the ground.
Fortunately, his martial soul had good defensive capabilities, so even though he fell to the ground, he was not injured at all.
Huo Yuhao stood on the stage and said calmly, "Next."
The referee flew over, checked the condition of the man from the Dragon Slaying Sect, and after confirming that he was incapacitated, announced loudly, "Huo Yuhao wins. The next contestant from the Dragon Slaying Sect, prepare."
Xu Tianran watched this scene with some surprise: "Has Huo Yuhao's mental strength reached the level of a Soul Saint? He was able to defeat a Soul King with just one mental attack. If Dai Hao knew about this, he would probably regret it to the core. Many people immigrated to the Sun Moon Empire, but Huo Yuhao is probably the most talented among them."
Although Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was far beyond the Soul Saint level, Jing Hongchen did not immediately intend to reveal Huo Yuhao's true spiritual power level.
He flattered, "Your Highness the Regent is right. Dai Hao is short-sighted. He has not even discovered a talent like Yu Hao. He is truly unworthy of the title of Duke of White Tiger."
Yuhao's migration to the Sun Moon Empire is a blessing for our Sun Moon Empire, but also a great loss for the Star Luo Empire. May God bless our Sun Moon Empire.
Chapter 307 A Crushing Victory
A smile appeared on Xu Tianran's face; he quite agreed with Jing Hongchen's words at this moment.
After all, Huo Yuhao's arrival did bring about significant changes to the Sun Moon Empire.
With Huo Yuhao, the Sun Moon Empire's future wars will inevitably be smoother, and he will be able to achieve his dream of unifying the Douluo Continent and becoming an emperor for all ages more quickly.
Xu Tianran said, "I just don't know how many people Huo Yuhao can defeat in the individual elimination rounds. The individual elimination rounds are only part of the competition. There are also team competitions in this tournament. Hall Master Jing, Huo Yuhao can't get injured. Let him come down later and let someone else take his place. There's no need to fight for a moment's pride."
Jing Hongchen felt somewhat helpless. He thought to himself that Yuhao now possessed the first soul core, and his spiritual power had already reached a tangible and substantial level. In terms of spiritual power alone, he was already at the level of a Super Douluo. Even if all the contestants from the Dragon Slaying Sect joined forces, they would not be able to defeat Yuhao.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have confidence in Yuhao. It's just an individual elimination round, he won't get injured." Jing Hongchen couldn't reveal to Xu Tianran that Huo Yuhao had the first soul core, after all, such a thing was too shocking, the fewer people who knew, the better.
Xu Tianran was somewhat skeptical, but he still said, "Alright, Hall Master Jing, I'll wait and see what surprises Huo Yuhao can bring me."
.......
The Dragon Slayer Sect's War Zone.
"The vice-captain lost so quickly? How is that possible!" The thin young man named Feng Shen stared at Huo Yuhao on the stage with a grim expression.
Facing the champion team of the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, he felt that the Dragon Slaying Sect was too unlucky and their defeat was inevitable, so he actually wanted to fight to his heart's content.
However, he did not expect that the Dragon Slayer Sect would lose so badly. The vice-captain was defeated by the opponent's mental soul skill without even touching the corner of the opponent's clothes. This undoubtedly made the Dragon Slayer Sect lose face.
The captain of the Dragon Slaying Sect team looked at the skinny young man Feng Shen and said, "This Huo Yuhao is indeed very strong. He is worthy of being the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He is a formidable opponent, and we need to take him seriously."
However, as you know, according to Shrek Academy's research, most of the Soul Masters at Sun Moon Academy have reached their cultivation levels through consuming elixirs, which is why they need to rely on Soul Tools to enhance their strength.
"Feng Shen, you're next. Your speed is the fastest in our Dragon Slaying Sect. Remember, you must defeat the opponent before they launch a mental attack."
In the captain's opinion, Huo Yuhao is indeed powerful, but as a Soul Master, he must have the weakness of close combat. As long as Feng Shen closes the distance and attacks frequently, there will definitely be a chance to defeat him.
Of course, even if Feng Shen fails, he can still deplete the opponent's mental energy, giving the next Dragon Slayer Sect member a certain advantage. Soul power can be restored through a milk bottle, but there is no soul tool similar to a milk bottle for restoring mental energy.
"Alright, Captain." Although Feng Shen was also a Soul King, his speed was much faster than that of the Dragon Slaying Sect's vice captain. He was extremely confident in his speed, and no matter how strong the opponent's spiritual soul skill was, it would still take time to activate.
Soon, Feng Shen flew to one end of the stage, looked at Huo Yuhao, and his expression gradually became serious. He cupped his hands and said, "Feng Shen of the Dragon Slaying Sect, please enlighten me."
Huo Yuhao nodded and politely cupped his hands in response: "Huo Yuhao, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
The referee looked at the two players, raised his right hand, and then brought it down heavily.
