Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 172 The game begins

The spacious competition platform itself gleamed with a silvery-white metallic sheen, making it appear as if it were constructed entirely of metal.

There is also a groove around the competition venue.

Within the recess, a transparent light curtain with a slight yellow tint rises into the sky.

Looking up at the sky, there was no end in sight.

This was built so that there would be no height restrictions.

However, it's clear from the light screen right next to the competition stage that this year's competition is different from the last one.

At least there won't be a situation where knocking your opponent off the ring is considered a victory.

We must completely defeat our opponent.

This way, there won't be any mistakes, bad luck, or accidental falls onto the ring.

It allows each person to truly demonstrate their abilities and truly reveal the differences between them.

In addition to the competition arena, extending outwards from the arena, every hundred meters there is a ring of huge soul guidance screens supported in the air by tall frames.

Each screen is over twenty meters in size.

Currently, only the Sun Moon Empire possesses such soul tool technology.

There were over a hundred such screens around the competition area.

The rest area for the participants is very large, capable of accommodating twenty participating teams; it is a covered area.

The rest were some outdoor chairs, arranged in rows at the back of the pergola.

Judging from the reception provided by the Sun Moon Empire this time, every detail highlights the difference in stages. Those shaded rest areas are undoubtedly reserved for academies and clans with great reputations.

The participating team members entered the venue one after another, while the audience had already entered and were waiting for the competition to begin.

After all the participating team members had entered the venue, Ju Zi pushed Xu Tianran to the center of the rostrum.

Behind him followed ministers.

The main hall of Mingde Hall, the Mirror of the Mortal World, is also among them.

"Greetings, Regent! Greetings, Regent's Wife!"

Apart from the Royal Soul Master Corps deployed for defense, all the officials present knelt down and paid their respects to Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

The Regent's wife was naturally Ju Zi. Although she had been politely declining Xu Tianran's request to take a concubine, Xu Tianran still made her the Regent's wife.

Orange did not object; she did this solely for revenge.

Orange pushed Xu Tianran into a soul tool elevator staircase.

Jing Hongchen and the four old men followed him onto the elevator.

As the elevator ascended, people in the distance could see their young regent.

Cheers erupted immediately. For example, this Crown Prince is very popular with the people.

Many people were seeing Xu Tianran for the first time.

The ministers and their sons did not have the privilege of using the elevator; they could only ascend the platform by climbing the steps on one side of the dais.

Xu Tianran's arrival also means that this year's All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is about to begin.

Ju Zi pushed Xu Tianran to the center of the stage.

Orange stepped forward and came to the soul-guided megaphone that had been prepared in advance.

"quiet!"

A deep, aged voice suddenly rang out, and a powerful aura instantly spread throughout the entire area.

Everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on them.

Even her breathing became somewhat rapid.

The whispers and chatter among the crowd vanished instantly.

Everyone looked surprised, then immediately fell silent. In an instant, the area where more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were located became quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Many people were trembling, both physically and spiritually.

What kind of power is this? To generate such terrifying pressure, causing hundreds of thousands to tremble with its own strength. Is this level of power even achievable by a Soul Master?

"Dark Holy Dragon, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise. The old man who made the sound was standing behind the oranges, behind Xu Tianran.

He is the only remaining Limit Douluo among the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons, a supreme being with a soul power level of ninety-nine, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

At this moment, Ju Zi cleared her throat, and her melodious voice was amplified and transmitted to everyone's ears through the soul guide device.

Long Xiaoyao's victory is a demonstration of his supreme strength.

The sound of oranges is a demonstration of the high technology of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools.

"Citizens of the Sun and Moon Empire, and all those who have come from afar, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I welcome you all."

At the same time, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I hereby announce that the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament now begins!

The opening remarks were simple and clear, without any unnecessary words or high-sounding official rhetoric.

This is Xu Tianran's style.

He's a man of action, not one for empty talk.

Many people hold conferences and start by saying a lot about how they were under the correct leadership of someone, with the support of someone else, and so on. But it's all just empty talk.

In Xu Tianran's view, everything is about results, and saying more is just a waste of time.

"Long live the Regent! Long live the Regent! Long live the Regent!"

As soon as Ju Zi finished speaking, the people of the Sun Moon Empire knelt down and bowed to Regent Xu Tianran, who was sitting in a wheelchair but was about to ascend the throne as the new emperor.

Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair with a smile:

"My beloved subjects, please take your seats!" Xu Tianran said with a calm smile.

Only then did the ministers of the Sun and Moon Empire dare to sit down.

"Now, let's read out the competition rules!"

A loud voice rang out, followed by the reading of the rules and regulations for this competition, which were identical to those given to each team.

After the rules were read aloud, an elderly man walked to the megaphone in front of the podium and shouted:
"In the first match of the preliminary elimination round, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will face off against Dragon Slayer Sect. Both sides will send seven members to the battle zone!"

The waiting area is a specially designated area in front of the rest area under the shade.

According to the rules of previous competitions, the first match is played by the previous champion.

The champion of the previous competition was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Hmph, this time, we're determined to win the championship!"

Huo Yuhao's expression was not good. He clenched his fists and revealed a determined look in his eyes.

The championship belongs only to Shrek Academy.

This time, the Shrek Seven Devils are representing the Tang Sect, so the championship should belong to the Tang Sect.

No other academy or sect is qualified to receive it.

Soon, the players from both sides entered the field for the first match.

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Chen walked at the front, followed by four young soul masters they had never met before, and entered the waiting area.

Huo Yuhao's expression turned sour upon seeing Ye Chen.

"He's an evil soul master. I've told the people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy many times, but no one has paid any attention. This time, in front of so many people, I'll see if he can still hide it!"

Huo Yuhao said through gritted teeth, and Wang Dong'er's expression was also not very good.

The reason they didn't win the championship last time was actually largely due to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's ultimate ice martial soul is just right to counter Ma Xiaotao's evil fire phoenix martial soul.

Ye Chen was the reason for the defeat in the previous competition.

This time, they are determined to find a way to achieve final victory.
