Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Chapter 214, Opening Ceremony

Of course, this is not to say that Guangming Qianrenxue lacks this charm; on the contrary, her beauty is even more dazzling, after all, apart from the difference in hair color, they are essentially the same person.

Men, used to dark chocolate, also like bright ice cream. Both are sweet, but one is slightly bitter and the other is slightly icy, yet each has its own unique charm.

And so, time slipped away like the wind.

Dongqing accompanied Qian Renxue for six days, allowing her to experience a unique life amidst her different personalities of light and darkness. Finally, the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies was about to begin.

Dong Qing's visit to Tian Dou City was not solely for a date with Qian Renxue; he also had other matters to attend to, namely, to participate in the opening ceremony of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong would not make a big fuss about coming to Heaven Dou City just because of an opening ceremony.

Of course, the main reason was that she herself didn't want to come to Tiandou City. Not long ago, when Qian Renxue communicated with her in a letter, some of her remarks really angered her.

What do you mean by her getting too close to Dong Qing? Is she the kind of person who would steal her own apprentice's man? Would a mother steal her daughter's man?

While Bibi Dong was extremely dissatisfied, she began to secretly investigate the spies around her, wanting to see which one was the one who dared to talk so recklessly.

After all the investigation, no traitor was found. It seemed that Qian Renxue had a premonition and sensed Bibi Dong's immoral thoughts towards Dong Qing.

Meanwhile, since the finals of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will be held in the Heaven Dou Empire, the original Platinum Bishop Salas's status and identity are somewhat insufficient, and a higher-ranking member of the Spirit Hall with a higher status is needed.

As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Dong Qing holds a high position and wields great power, which perfectly matches his status as a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall. Therefore, he is the obvious choice to be a guest at the opening ceremony of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Timeline: Douluo Calendar, June 29, 2647, sunny and cloudless.

Tian Dou City, North District, Tian Dou Grand Battle Arena.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the grandest Soul Master competition in the Soul Master world.

It has never been just the Soul Masters who are attracted; from royalty and nobility to commoners, everyone in Douluo Continent regards this competition as the grandest festival.

Just like the traditional Chinese New Year, the atmosphere is very lively. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the Spring Festival in the hearts of the people of Douluo Continent.

Soul Masters are admired by everyone, and everyone wants to become a Soul Master. However, becoming a Soul Master requires a lot of talent, and one must possess innate Soul Power, which is the basic requirement for becoming a Soul Master.

Fortunately, the Soul Tool technology in Douluo Continent is very advanced, especially the Soul Tool technology for video live streaming, which has formed a huge industrial chain.

Even if one cannot become a Soul Master, the Great Soul Arena and various smaller competitions are constantly emerging, which also serve as spiritual nourishment for the common people of Douluo Continent.

This is why the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is so highly valued; even the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire sent envoys to negotiate.

Of course, what truly relieved the top powers across the continent was...

The Spirit Hall looks much more normal now. Before, it looked like it was going to unify the continent, which was really scary. Now it looks like a normal spirit master organization.

And one more thing.

When the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is in its preliminary rounds, both the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire will hold opening ceremonies for their respective regions, with grand opening ceremonies taking place in Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City respectively.

The opening ceremony of the Heaven Dou Empire was naturally held in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City. Tickets for the opening ceremony had already sold out a month in advance.

The ticket sales revenue for this continent-wide advanced soul master academy elite competition preliminary round was considerable, but the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena itself also spent a significant amount of gold soul coins.

The opening ceremony tickets are not expensive, costing only one Silver Soul Coin. The Heaven Dou Empire's royal family strives to make tickets affordable for every middle-class family.

As for ordinary people who really can't afford tickets, they can watch free video broadcasts in the square.

Of course, this free service is relative; advertising is inevitable. The merchants in Douluo Continent are also very shrewd and have already bought advertising time on various broadcast channels in advance.

Heavenly Battle Arena, VIP Lounge.

Two people were sitting in the VIP room, one old and one young. However, the old man looked very reserved, as if he was afraid of saying something wrong during the conversation.

"Salas, how long until the opening ceremony of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?" Dong Qing asked impatiently.

He arrived here early in the morning, and after meeting Qian Renxue who had transformed back into Xue Qinghe, he has been waiting here for almost an hour and a half, but the opening ceremony has not yet started.

"Your Highness, according to the information I received earlier, the opening ceremony will begin in about ten minutes. If we walk over now, the timing will be just right."

As the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City, Salas naturally understood Dong Qing's impatience. After all, it's normal for young people to be impatient.

"In that case, let's go." Dong Qing said casually, and then walked out of the private room, preparing to head to the main arena of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Salas nodded and then quickly followed Dong Qing’s footsteps, with dozens of Spirit Hall guards in silver metal armor following behind him.

They were all elites at the level of level 40 Soul Master, and when they joined forces, even a level 60 Soul Emperor would not be a match for them.

As for Soul Saints, they are no match.

Because of the seventh soul skill, True Soul Form, whether it's a support, offensive, or control type, reaching level 70 will bring about a qualitative change in strength due to True Soul Form.

Although Dongqing didn't need these guards to protect him, Salas, the Platinum Bishop, was a man who valued pomp and circumstance, so he still arranged a group of guards for Dongqing.

...

The Heaven Dou Grand Arena, the main arena for the Heaven Dou Empire region, suspended all spirit battles a month ago for internal renovations.

All the arenas in the Great Battle Arena will be combined with the main Battle Center to form a huge competition venue.

Apart from the VIP area remaining on the north side of the entire competition venue, the renovated Grand Arena is not only much more aesthetically pleasing, but can also accommodate 80,000 spectators at the same time.

Today, this Great Soul Arena is undoubtedly the largest in the entire continent, with a grandstand capable of accommodating 80,000 spectators. This clearly demonstrates how much effort the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family put into this competition.

The entire arena was decorated with a platinum-toned background, and although it was still morning, the sun was shining brightly.

However, the surrounding platinum walls are illuminated by special soul-guided light bulbs, giving it not only a luxurious feel but also a grand and majestic one.

For the next period of time, all the preliminary rounds of the Tiandou Division will be held here, and of course, the subsequent qualifying rounds will also be held here.

Chapter 215, Your Highness the Holy Son!!!

In fact, as early as dawn, before the sun had even risen in the east, the specially modified Heaven Dou Arena had already welcomed an extremely large number of spectators.

Arriving so early wasn't simply about getting into the venue early to grab a good seat, because each ticket actually had a specific seat number, so there was no need for that worry.

What these spectators really wanted was simply to be able to see the young Soul Masters participating in the competition up close from the stands on the first day of the opening ceremony.

Among them were many young girls in the throes of first love. They had heard that Dong Qing would also be attending the opening ceremony, so they arrived at the Heavenly Battle Arena early.

They all had a dream in their hearts, a beautiful dream that often appeared at night. This dream was simple and beautiful, it was about the story of the prince and Cinderella.

These young girls in the throes of first love are Cinderella, and Dongqing is naturally the prince.

Aside from these young girls in love, they were mostly there for Dong Qing, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. There were also many sects and noble families in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, who came specifically to recruit talented young men.

Because the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is a cradle of talent, let alone young soul masters who can enter the finals, even those who only pass the preliminaries or participate in the tournament.

They were all sought after by nobles and families.

At this moment.

Centered around the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, almost a third of Heaven Dou City was deserted. Starting a few days ago, all the high-end hotels and ordinary inns in Heaven Dou City were already fully booked.

This is probably why Qian Renxue dragged Dong Qing to the outside of Tiandou City.

There's no other reason than that there's simply no place where they can freely express their desire to play sticker games.

At the same time, due to the influx of outsiders, the population of Tiandou City has increased by almost 150 percent.

This demonstrates just how attractive this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is to the world.

Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth running of this competition, the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family specially mobilized a full 15,000 city defense troops to maintain order, which minimized the possibility of disturbances.

...

In the central arena of the Heavenly Battle Arena, which can accommodate 80,000 people, the most important guest of the day is about to make his appearance under the gaze of nearly 80,000 pairs of eyes.

They all held their breath, eager to hear the true appearance of the legendary Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. After all, only portraits had been circulated before, and this was the first time a real person had appeared in front of so many people.

At this moment, the young girls, young women, and middle-aged beauties in the stands all sincerely hoped that this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was truly as handsome and dashing as the rumors suggested, and not an existence beautified by the Spirit Hall.

The sound of rapid footsteps echoed.

Following behind Platinum Bishop Salas and surrounded by dozens of elite guards from the Spirit Hall, Dong Qing walked at a leisurely pace to the central viewing platform.

"Your Highness the Holy Son!!!"

"Your Highness, I want to have your babies."

"Your Highness, give me a kiss, a hug, and lift me up high."

.................

It's unclear who spoke first, but then a deafening cheer erupted. The voices of 80,000 people were deafening, as if they were about to overturn the entire Great Soul Arena.

In Douluo Continent, Dong Qing not only has a huge number of female fans, but also a huge number of literary fans, including men and women, young and old.

Poets are respected in any world, let alone a young poet like Dong Qing.

Nowadays, in any city or village on the Douluo Continent, you may not know the name of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, but if you don't know the name of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, they will all look at you with contempt.

The aura of his own talent, the youngest Soul King-level powerhouse in history, the aura of his poetic and literary talent, the youngest teenage poet in history.

With the added halo of influence, and the fact that the newspapers were under Dong Qing's control, Mei Xiangxue, Li Yuemei, and Li Yuexian, who were usually in charge of them, often used this special tool to glorify Dong Qing.

As a result, Dongqing's faith power is growing explosively. Perhaps he only needs a few decades to complete the process that other gods have spent thousands of years collecting faith power.

But now Dongqing has a very important problem to solve: with 80,000 people cheering below, the opening ceremony of the qualifiers cannot proceed normally.

At this moment, they need to quiet down, otherwise the subsequent qualifiers will not be able to proceed normally.

“Skyhorn Ant, possessed by a Martial Soul,” Dong Qing said calmly.

He instantly completed the Martial Soul Possession, and a layer of light golden armor appeared on his body. At the same time, a small horn, like the tip of a lotus leaf, slowly emerged from the top of his forehead.

What is the celestial horn? It is the force that contends with the heavens.

This is the origin of the horn on the head of the Skyhorn ant, a natal horn with unlimited growth potential, and also a symbol of the pure-blooded Skyhorn ant.

The mysterious and ancient patterns on the pale gold armor were dazzling, while two long tentacles on his forehead danced in the wind from time to time, and he exuded an aura of dominance over heaven and earth.

Vast, ancient, and invincible.

The top predator from the perfect Great Thousand World slowly appeared, and the pure bloodline of the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant began to show its majesty.

Suppression through aura, suppression through bloodline.

The double suppression silenced the air in the arena where 80,000 people gathered, as they all felt an indescribable pressure emanating from Dong Qing.

This feeling was like the absolute suppression of a lower life form by a higher life form. Just when they thought it was over, five spirit rings slowly rose from Dong Qing's feet, proving that he was indeed a Soul King level expert.

Purple, black, black, black, black.

Five soul rings, radiating terrifying energy, spun incessantly around Dong Qing's waist, exuding an aura of dominance over the entire area.
