Chapter 354 The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament Begins.
Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, his divine sense covering the entire Douluo Continent like a net.
Everything that was happening was under their watchful eyes.
The Asura God King descended to the mortal realm, and Gu Yuena was injured and fled...
Everything was under his control.
"The other four God-Kings in the God Realm are probably getting restless."
A faint, indifferent smile appeared on Lu Xiao's lips.
He was perfectly clear about it.
Even if all five great god-kings of the divine realm were to descend, they would not be a match for him.
He is now the orthodox God King, with countless trump cards from the system.
No one in the entire divine realm could rival him.
What truly alarmed him was the spirit world.
That is an unknown and powerful enemy lurking outside the plane, whose strength is unfathomable. This is the real life-or-death threat to the Douluo Continent.
As for the Abyss Saint King and the God King of the Divine Realm, they are merely appetizers.
With a thought, Lu Xiao appeared directly in the core training ground of Beidou Academy.
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Ao Yin."
Five figures bowed respectfully: "Dean!"
"The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is about to begin."
Lu Xiao's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "I have only three orders."
"First, in major competitions, we must win every single game, without losing a single match."
"Second, no one is allowed to hide their strength. They must crush all opponents and make the entire continent remember the name of Beidou Academy."
"Third, during the competition, we must be on high alert at all times. The Abyss may launch a surprise attack at any time. If anything changes, we must fight with all our might and hold back."
"Yes, Dean!"
The five responded in unison, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Lu Xiao nodded slightly, then turned his divine sense to look into the depths of the secret realm.
There, a golden pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth suddenly erupted, and the chaotic energy surged endlessly.
A towering, illusory image of a demonic ape slowly emerged.
"roar!"
A monkey's cry echoed throughout the entire Beidou Academy, even startling creatures thousands of miles away!
Sun Wukong has successfully broken through to godhood!
The true form of the Chaos Demon Ape has appeared in the world, its power overwhelming for eternity, and strange phenomena soaring into the sky.
The entire soul power of the Beidou Academy was boiling!
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes.
Another member has joined the ranks of god-level combatants.
"Since the gods have come, let's have some fun with them."
"The All-Continent Elite Tournament..."
"Let's start settling everything here."
...
Time flows on, and years pass by.
A short month passed quietly as various forces lay in wait and prepared for battle.
All eyes in the Douluo Continent were focused on Wuhun City—the continent-wide elite soul master competition.
Finally, amidst much anticipation, the curtain officially rose!
Two great empires, the three upper sects, the four lower sects, sects of various kingdoms, branches of the Spirit Hall, and countless spirit masters and common people who came from afar.
The huge arena was completely surrounded by people.
Every gaze was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Among all these countless gazes, the most attention-grabbing is undoubtedly on the seats of Beidou Academy.
At this moment, in the spectator stands of Beidou Academy, Lu Xiao, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his aura restrained, yet he possessed the air of a god-king overlooking the heavens and earth.
He secluded himself for many days, and his cultivation was completely stabilized at the God King realm.
Having nothing to do, I decided to come along with Ning Rongrong and the others to relax and have some fun.
Sun Wukong followed closely behind, dressed in a golden outfit, with an arrogant look in his eyes, and the aura of the Chaos Demon Ape was faintly visible.
His mere presence alone was enough to deter countless Soul Masters from approaching, inspiring awe in them.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ao Yin sat upright in a neat formation, their auras calm and their soul power fluctuations incredibly profound.
In just one month, with the time acceleration secret realm set up by Lu Xiao and the massive amount of resources, the five people's strength has improved even further.
"Dean, the competition has finally begun."
Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes, looked towards the center of the arena, and spoke with a hint of anticipation.
"Yes, after waiting for so long, we can finally make our move."
Ao Yin rubbed his hands together, his elemental power pulsating slightly, his fighting spirit blazing.
Lu Xiao smiled faintly, casually scanning the arena, and said softly, "No rush, let's see the level of the other teams first, so you can have a better understanding."
On the side of the Beidou Academy's seats, Dugu Bo was also prominently listed.
Dugu Bo has now completely submitted to Beidou Academy, and he even voluntarily accompanied them to this competition.
Firstly, to protect several core disciples; secondly, to see with my own eyes where this grand event sweeping across the continent will ultimately lead.
On the field, the host's passionate voice resounded throughout the venue.
"Next up, please welcome the team for this match – Tianshui Academy Team, versus Qinglan Team!"
As soon as the voice faded, both teams entered the arena simultaneously.
On the left, the Tianshui Academy team members are dressed in light blue outfits, and the women have slender figures.
His body was surrounded by a chilling aura, making it clear at a glance that he was an ultimate ice and water type soul master with an extraordinary presence.
On the right, the Qinglan team is just a ragtag group from the periphery, with the highest-ranking member only at level 40, the Soul Master.
Compared to Tianshui College, the gap is like heaven and earth.
The audience erupted in cheers.
"It's Tianshui Academy! That's a top-tier elemental academy!"
"I've heard that all the girls at Tianshui Academy are geniuses, and their martial spirits are incredibly powerful!"
"I don't even need to watch to know that Tianshui Academy will win this match completely!"
Ning Rongrong and the others also glanced sideways, revealing a hint of curiosity.
"Tianshui Academy? I've heard of it before, but I've never fought against them, so I don't know their true strength."
Zhu Zhuqing said softly, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
Dugu Yan nodded: "It is said that all the students of Tianshui Academy have water and ice martial souls. They cooperate well and combine control and attack, making them very difficult to deal with."
On the field, the competition has officially begun!
Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Tianshui Academy team, made the first move, her bright eyes narrowing.
The icy blue soul power erupted suddenly, and the first soul skill was instantly formed.
"First Soul Skill: Ice Seal!"
In an instant, a chill swept across the entire area at an extreme speed.
What's even more chilling is that she can instantly unleash her soul skill!
Without any buildup or pause, the attack is launched instantly, making it impossible to defend against!
The Qinglan team members' expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly tried to defend themselves, but the difference in strength was simply too great.
In just a moment, the group was frozen solid.
Lu Xiao glanced around, nodded slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Their control over ice-type skills is good, and their use of soul skills is also quite proficient. They can be considered a first-class team."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo, standing to the side, spoke with a profound gaze.
"The dean is absolutely right. The strength of Tianshui Academy is indeed extraordinary."
"Especially Shui Bing'er, the core of their team, is best at instantaneous soul skill casting. Her attacks are invisible and intangible, often able to control and suppress the enemy before they can react, making them impossible to defend against."
"Judging from this, after receiving the reward from Tianmu, the overall strength of Tianshui Academy has improved significantly. I'm afraid they will achieve a ranking far exceeding their previous results in this competition."
Ning Rongrong and the others listened attentively and secretly made notes in their hearts.
Instantaneous casting of soul skills is an extremely rare talent.
If encountered in actual combat, it would indeed be very troublesome.
As the two talked, the battle on the field was nearing its end.
Shui Bing'er stepped out slowly, her icy face showing no emotion, and one after another, she unleashed her soul skills.
Extreme cold air suddenly spread.
The members of the Qinglan team were instantly frozen in thick ice, unable to move.
Completely incapacitated.
Upon seeing this, the referee immediately announced it loudly.
"Tianshui Academy Team wins this match!"
There were no surprises, no setbacks whatsoever.
Tianshui College easily won its first victory in this competition with an absolute crushing and overwhelming advantage, and the cheers from the audience were deafening!
Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er led the Tianshui team, bowed slightly, turned and left the stage, their postures elegant and their aura imposing.
