Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

The competition platform is ten meters high and more than one hundred meters in diameter, estimated to be around one hundred and twenty meters.

The spacious platform itself radiates a silvery-white metallic luster, making it appear as if it were constructed of metal.

You have to understand, even just laying down a single layer of metal is a huge undertaking!

Not to mention, the entire platform appears to be seamless, and its exquisite craftsmanship profoundly demonstrates the superior soul-guided technology of the Sun Moon Empire!
What's even stranger is that there seems to be a groove around the competition venue.

Within that recess, a transparent light curtain tinged with a pale yellow rose into the sky.

Standing to the side and looking up at the sky, you can't see the end. How much soul power would it take to support that?

Moreover, the difference from the previous competition can be seen simply from the light screen that is right next to the competition stage.

At least, there won't be a situation where knocking the opponent off the ring is considered a victory; you have to completely defeat the opponent.

I don't know if this change was made by Xu Sanshi.

Besides the competition arena, extending outwards from the arena, every hundred meters there is a huge soul-guided screen held aloft by a tall frame.

Each screen is over twenty square meters in size, clearly intended for live broadcasting.

There are more than a hundred such screens around the competition area.

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

The players' rest area is on the east side of the competition stage and is mainly divided into two areas.

Near the competition stage was a covered area that could accommodate about twenty participating teams.

All that's left are some outdoor chairs, arranged in rows on both sides of the pavilion towards the back.

Judging from the reception provided by the Sun Moon Empire this time, every detail reveals the distinction between classes, with those shaded rest areas undoubtedly reserved for renowned academies and sects.

After reporting the name of the Spirit Tower at the registration desk and registering with their participation documents, the Spirit Tower members were unsurprisingly assigned to the bench area, which was in a very remote corner.

Even those members of the Spirit Pagoda who didn't usually care much about such things looked rather displeased by this treatment, with Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan's pretty faces showing resentment.

"This is too much!" Jiang Nannan said indignantly.

He Caitou patted her shoulder reassuringly, smiled sheepishly, but said nothing.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It's alright, isn't this what makes it more interesting? Unpopular and dark horse stocks are always the most talked-about things!"

The sky was already bright, and the rising sun from the east shone down on everyone, as if gilding all the contestants.

There were so many teams participating that it took almost half an hour just to get everyone seated, and the clamor of the crowds in the distance was constantly being heard.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's spirits lifted, and he looked in one direction.

It was a team that looked very mysterious, and walking at the front was Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo whom Tang Ya had introduced to him in detail.

Behind Zhang Peng followed a group of people, all dressed in black, wearing bamboo hats and black veils that covered their faces.

Following closely behind Zhang Peng was a tall, slender woman. Although she wore a bamboo hat and a veil, under Huo Yuhao's true vision detection, her delicate oval face beneath the hat was already clearly visible in the minds of everyone in the Spirit Pagoda. Seeing her, Wang Dong'er blinked her large, azure eyes and transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, is this the team the Holy Spirit Cult has sent out?"

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly with a smile: "That's right. The information I told you before was relayed to me by Xiaoya. If they go on the field later, you can get a real feel for their strength and methods. If you encounter them in the match, go all out."

"The abilities of evil spirit masters are unpredictable. Never try to test them or delay. If you have the chance, kill them decisively with lightning speed!"

“Okay, Yuhao, we understand.” The others nodded in response, their expressions slightly serious.

Next, Huo Yuhao saw some familiar faces.

Princess Jiujiu led the Star Luo National Academy team, but strangely, one of the team members was wearing a cloak and a mask, looking mysterious.

There was also a team with Mu Xue and Vina, who didn't seem to be from any academy in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Judging from their clothing, they seemed to be from a sect.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over with interest. He had already spotted the leader of the group, who was none other than the young man he had met in the Star Dou Great Forest a few years ago. He was the strongest of the younger generation of the Body Sect besides himself, his classmate Long Aotian.

In other words, this team consists of the outstanding young talents selected by the Body Sect, as Poison Undying mentioned.

At this moment, they were also looking in this direction, their eyes revealing excitement and anticipation.

They had long since heard of Huo Yuhao's reputation as the young sect leader and his exploits.

Now that they finally have the chance to see its true appearance, how could these young people not be curious?

They have high expectations for this competition!

Is the young sect leader, who is praised to the skies by the sect leader, really as strong as the rumors suggest?

Besides these teams, there are many more that are completely unfamiliar.

Especially those sects that came from various countries on the mainland, Huo Yuhao knew nothing about them. He could only determine their cultivation levels through his spiritual detection.

"Look, what's that?" Jiang Nannan's voice drew Huo Yuhao's attention.

Below the rostrum on the north side, a special group of soldiers is approaching at high speed.

These soldiers were all dressed in gold outfits, but they had no weapons or equipment.

With Huo Yuhao's eyesight, he could even see their expressions clearly.

These golden-clad guards all appeared to be at least thirty years old, each with a restrained spirit and obvious fluctuations of soul power emanating from them.

The group of about five hundred people moved forward without making a sound. The rising sun shone on them, making them glitter and shine brightly.

After arriving below the platform, these people immediately dispersed and surrounded it.

About fifty of them stood still, and with a clanging sound, they transformed into soul-guided artillery platforms, their eerie and intimidating muzzles pointing outwards.

The other golden-clad guards also released different soul tools, forming some rather strange formations.

Among them, about ten heavy cannons attracted Huo Yuhao's attention the most. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that these cannons were at least seventh-tier soul tools! (End of this chapter)
