Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 184: First Meeting with Tang San
In the first round of the finals, although the representative team of Xingluo Royal Academy did not have to participate, they also attended this round of competition as spectators, watching the battle between each team on the field.

It has to be said that the other 30 teams that have made it all the way to the finals are all very capable. At least each team has a Soul Master, and their fighting is also remarkable.

In the first round of the finals, Dai Yaochen also met the protagonist of the original novel, Tang San, for the first time.

Just as Xue Qinghe said before, Tang San’s current soul power cultivation is only level 37, but the combat power he showed in the first round of the game is indeed very strong.

Just using the ordinary Blue Silver Grass, Tang San easily restrained many opponents. Then Dai Yaochen's brother Dai Mubai, whom he hadn't seen for several years, rushed forward fiercely. Together with several other three-ring soul masters of the strong attack system in the team, they knocked the restrained opponents out of the ring one by one. The Shrek Academy, which was still unknown but would be famous in the future, won the first game of the finals.

Dai Yaochen was still very concerned about the situation of this game. Although Tang San only used Blue Silver Grass, after his performance in the promotion match, everyone basically knew that Tang San also had the Clear Sky Hammer, his second martial soul, so in the previous match, Tang San had not yet shown his full strength.

Not only that, in addition to the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San should have other secrets. Dai Yaochen thought to himself that although a lot of things have changed since he traveled to the Douluo Continent, it should not have caused much impact on the many kingdoms and principalities between the two empires. So if nothing unexpected happens, Tang San may still possess the Eight Spider Lance as an external soul bone.

When one's cultivation is in the early stages, possessing a soul bone can increase one's combat power by as much as ten levels. That is to say, even if Tang San is only level 37 now, once he uses the external soul bone Eight Spider Lance, he can unleash combat power comparable to level 47. Coupled with some combat skills and a grasp of timing, Tang San should be able to hold his own even against a five-ring soul king.

What's more, Tang San also possesses the Clear Sky Hammer spirit. As long as he wants, he can immediately add three spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, and use the spirit power increased by absorbing the spirit rings to break through level 40, and then add the fourth spirit ring to the two spirits to continue to improve the spirit power. In a very short time, he can get a leap in cultivation.

In this regard, Dai Yaochen can only say that he is worthy of being the protagonist of the original novel. Even if he intercepted the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in advance, Tang San's strength is still not weak, and his potential is huge.

Apart from his younger brother Dai Mubai and the Shrek Academy team where Tang San is located, the only other team worth noting is the Shinfeng Academy team.

Ever since Dai Yaochen and Xue Qinghe approved the transfer application of Chihuo College on behalf of the competition organizing committee a few days ago, all the contestants from Chihuo College transferred to Shinfeng College.

Although this directly led to the withdrawal of Chihuo Academy in the first round of the finals, the overall strength of Shenfeng Academy has been unprecedentedly strengthened.

Judging from the participating lineup alone, the strongest team in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is undoubtedly the seeded team recommended by the Xingluo Royal Academy. With a lineup of all Soul Kings, they appear to be out of reach at first glance.

Slightly inferior is the seed team recommended by the Spirit Hall Academy. Although the number of Soul Kings is a little less, there are three after all. The remaining four members are all high-level Soul Masters with cultivation above level 45, and should not be underestimated.

As for the third place, it is the representative team of the Shinfeng Academy after it joined forces with the Chihuo Academy. With the addition of contestants from the Chihuo Academy, the representative team of the Shinfeng Academy now has a full Soul Sect lineup, which is quite strong.

After all, the representative teams of other academies would be considered very powerful if they had three or four Soul Masters, and the weaker ones might even have only one or two Soul Masters. In this case, excluding the two completely abnormal teams of Xingluo Royal Academy and Wuhun Hall Academy, the Shenfeng Academy was the only one that had an all-Soul Master lineup.

Of course, when the entire Soul Sect lineup of the Shinpu Academy appeared, it immediately caused an uproar. The participating teams from the Xingluo Empire didn't know what was going on, but the tricks played by the Chihuo Academy and the Shinpu Academy obviously could not be hidden from the teams from the Tiandou Empire that had experienced the previous preliminaries and promotions with them, so the organizing committee of the competition soon received complaints from various participating academy teams from the Tiandou Empire.

They all said that it was really too much for Chihuo Academy and Shenfeng Academy to do this, and they hoped that the organizing committee of the competition would severely punish this kind of malicious behavior of exploiting loopholes in the rules, and it would be best to directly cancel Shenfeng Academy's qualification to participate.

Well, if the Shinfeng Academy's qualification is not revoked, then what is the point of their competition? If before, other academy teams still had a hope to compete for the third place in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, but when the Shinfeng Academy put out an all-Soul Sect lineup, they basically didn't even have the qualification to get the third place. After all, an all-Soul Sect lineup is no joke.

Although the other participating academies were outraged by the actions of Kamikaze Academy, the situation was different when their complaints were submitted to the competition organizing committee.

For the organizing committee of the competition, since they have already approved the transfer application of Chihuo College, they will naturally not overturn it now. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be slapping themselves in the face?
Besides, although the operation of Chihuo Academy was indeed a bug-breaking behavior, it did not violate the rules set before. Moreover, because of this operation, Chihuo Academy also paid a huge price, which was equivalent to giving up its own qualification to participate in the competition.

To put it bluntly, even if this loophole in the rules is there, which academy is willing to exploit it? Since Blazing Academy is willing to give up its own qualification to participate and also help Kamikaze Academy, then it is naturally no problem to let it pass.

As for sanctions, let’s just forget about them.

Therefore, when Dai Yaochen received complaints from various academies of the Tiandou Empire while watching the game, he immediately expressed his opinion, saying that there was no problem with the operations of the Chihuo Academy and the Shenfeng Academy, and Xue Qinghe and Lordiara also unanimously agreed with Dai Yaochen's opinion.

Just like that, the competition organizing committee gave a unified response. Although the colleges that complained were a little disappointed, they also knew that the decision of the competition organizing committee could not be changed. In addition, Xue Qinghe personally did their work, so they could only accept it.

What else could they do? They had fought so hard to make it to the finals, so were they going to just withdraw?
