I am in Douluo, I am the son of the Dragon God

The bell of the Continental Soul Master Competition rang throughout Douluo Star, igniting the passion and dreams of countless soul masters.

This event is destined to surpass all previous ones, not only because of the generous rewards that the Douluo Federation has prepared for the champion team - all team members can exchange soul cards for 100,000-year souls that suit them at any time, but also because the competition stage is a twin small world created by Xu Xingyu, a being who has already become a god, which contains countless mysteries of divine inheritance and opportunity.

These fragments of inheritance faintly carry the pulse of soul beasts' divine power, as if paving a secret road for the future of the Divine Star, waiting for soul masters to discover it with passion and wisdom.

Xu Xingyu's deification story has already shocked the continent.

Ever since Tang San ascended to heaven, the legend of becoming a god at level 100 has been passed down for ten thousand years, but because no one has ever reached this level again, it has become a fairy tale in the eyes of the world.

Only those hidden sects with profound heritage, or strong people who have pushed their strength to the peak, can glimpse the truth.

It was not until Xu Xingyu and his companions broke through to the god level one after another that the soul masters of Douluo Star realized that this was not an illusion but a real existence.

Although the Federation’s propaganda did not state it directly, it hinted between the lines that the secret realm created by Xu Xingyu for the competition contained fragments of the gods’ inheritance, which was enough to make any force excited.

This news was like a thunderclap, causing countless hidden sects to be unable to hold back. They sent elite disciples to infiltrate the Soul Master Academy, or secretly funded the new academy to participate in this event, hoping to restore their glory through the inheritance of the divine throne.

Although sects were not allowed to directly participate in the competition as in the Sun-Moon Empire era, the forces "exploded" in this competition far exceeded those in the past.

Ancient sects in Xingluo, Tiandou, Riyue and other places are making secret plans, and new academies are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and behind them all are the shadows of hidden forces.

Ancient forces such as the Sea God Island and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect covet the opportunity to inherit the throne of God, and devote all their efforts to building a new academy, trying to get a share of the pie in the small world.

Xu Xingyu's secret small world is like a bright lamp that illuminates Douluo Star, forcing these hidden forces to surface - who can resist the temptation of inheritance created by a true god?

The first round of the competition is a team-style battle royale. The participating teams are thrown into the twin small worlds and their promotion is determined by their ranking on the soul value list.

Soul points can be obtained by defeating other teams, but each time you can only take away half of the opponent's soul points. The rules are both cruel and full of strategy.

The spatial laws of the small world are controlled by the small world itself. By randomly teleporting teams multiple times, the fixed distribution is broken, forcing each team to fight fiercely in chaos.

After one teleportation, the Tianzui Academy team surrounded and killed three opponents with thunder spirit skills. The captain waved the bone dragon spirit, darkness tore the void, and the spirit value skyrocketed, shocking the whole audience.

Their tactics were brutal and precise. They took advantage of the brief gap before teleportation to target teams in the same area and plunder their souls without mercy.

If the rules did not restrict the soul points to only half, the first team that encountered them might not even qualify for the preliminary round.

The team from Qi Ling Academy followed closely behind, relying on the tacit cooperation of the soul contract to steadily plunder the soul points.

In a battle, their captain Bai Xiu Xiu and vice-captain Lan Xueqin used the Ice Dragon and Ice Phoenix spirits to perform a dragon-phoenix combined attack, freezing the enemy's formation and using precise spirit skills to quickly disintegrate the opponent, and their spirit value steadily climbed.

Although he ranked second due to having fewer opponents in the same region and his soul value was slightly lower than Tianzui, his steady style won the audience's admiration.

The fierce performances of the two teams were broadcast live to the audience through the Federation’s soul-guided televisions and space screens.

The sparks from the collision of soul skills and the fierce competition for soul value make the audience feel the flash of swords and shadows in the small world.

The people in front of the Soul Guide TV were either amazed at Tianzui's tyranny or cheering for Qi Ling's steadiness. The night sky of Douluo Star was boiling because of this game.

As the competition progressed, the top eight teams gradually emerged.

The five soul master academies designated by the Douluo Federation - Shrek Academy, Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Research Academy, Body Academy, Tianzui Academy, and Qi Ling Academy - all ranked among the top eight, demonstrating their profound heritage.

The Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Research Institute relies on the integration of soul guidance technology and soul skills, and the light burst from the soul guide devices intimidates the opponents; the Body Academy uses the ultimate explosive power of the body martial soul to sweep through the enemy camp; Tianzui and Qi Ling dominate with tactics.

However, what is shocking is that Shrek Academy, the academy that has won all the championships for ten thousand years and is known as the holy land of soul masters, is only ranked eighth and is almost falling out of the top eight.

Shrek had a complete lineup this time and did not use the reserve team due to the absence of main players or external affairs, but still performed poorly.

It is rumored that there is an imbalance in the allocation of internal resources, or that there is a secret infighting that has weakened its strength, but the truth is confusing, leaving the audience with only sighs and speculations.

The rumors on the mainland about the "decline of Shrek" seemed to be confirmed at this moment.

The audience talked about this a lot. Some lamented that Shrek’s glory was gone, while others cheered for the rise of the new academy.

Although the gap between the five major colleges is eye-catching, it cannot overshadow the excitement of the competition. Among the other top eight teams, the performance of the new colleges is eye-catching.

Poseidon Academy ranked second, with the shadow of Poseidon Island obviously behind it. It was one of the few teams that had no idea about the inheritance of the gods in the small world. The reason why they put all their efforts into building this team was to restore the reputation of Poseidon.

The reputation of Seagod Tang San has begun to become a target of public criticism in Douluo Continent because of his actions, and their Seagod Island also took this opportunity to cut ties with Tang San.

They are the team selected by the first generation Sea God. What does the actions of the second generation Sea God Tang San have to do with them?

They only believed in the first generation Seagod and the current Seagod Wang Dong'er on Seagod Island. As for Tang San? They were not familiar with him.

As for the sixth and seventh places, they are occupied by two familiar colleges, Xingluo College and Tianhun College.

About a month later, the battle royale stage came to an end. Half of the top 16 teams lit up their school signs and voluntarily withdrew, marking the end of the first round.

The final list of teams that advanced to the quarterfinals was announced, but the rankings changed dramatically.

Qi Ling Academy came from behind and, relying on its precise adaptation to the laws of the small world and teamwork, surpassed Tian Zui Academy and topped the soul value list.

Tianzui Academy fell to third place due to its radical strategy, which led to a siege by powerful enemies.

The second place is Poseidon Academy, which shows the profound heritage of Poseidon Island.

The fourth to eighth are: Main Body Academy, Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Research Academy, Xingluo Academy, Tianhun Academy, and Shrek Academy which managed to maintain the eighth place.

Most of the teams outside the top eight are new academies, with the shadows of hidden sects looming behind them.

The rise of these academies is not only due to the temptation of Xu Xingyu's small world inheritance, but also due to the quiet changes in the power structure of Douluo Star.

The announcement of the top eight has opened a new chapter for the competition.

The fragments of inheritance within the small world are still waiting for soul masters to discover with courage and wisdom; Xu Xingyu's gaze also quietly fell on this group of young geniuses.

Their passion and belief will determine whether Douluo Star can usher in new glory under the glory of the Divine Star.
