Douluo Dalu Lotus Fan Douluo

Chapter 257 Mu Ran's Mission

The top floor of Mingyue Hotel.

Mu Ran stood quietly on the wide semicircular balcony and looked into the distance. The view from this location was excellent, and he could almost see half of Mingdu.

There are only eight rooms on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel. They are called sky villas and are extremely luxurious. It is said that it costs 3,000 gold soul coins to stay there for one night, which is absolutely sky-high. It may even be the most expensive hotel on the continent.

Even Mu Ran, who is always extravagant, took a good look at this luxurious hotel.

Mu Ran was leaning against the rooftop with a glass of red wine in his hand. The evening breeze blew up his long hair, which fluttered softly in a beautiful curve.

After finishing a glass of red wine, Mu Ran put down the glass. A faint blue light flashed in his clear eyes. In an instant, the outline of the entire Mingdu was imprinted in the depths of Mu Ran's mind. Except for the palace of the Sun and Moon Empire and Mingde Hall, which were blurry, the rest of the places were clear.

Mu Ran's powerful mental power allowed him to directly lock onto all the branches of the Holy Spirit Church in Mingdu based on the information leaked by the three evil soul master brothers. You won't know until you see it, and you will be shocked when you see it!

There are many branches of the Holy Spirit Church in Mingdu, plus the evil soul masters in each branch, this is not a small number.

Mu Ran's trip to the Sun-Moon Empire was not just to be a team leader. He assigned himself three tasks.

The first is to investigate the situation of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The second is to meet Jing Hongchen.

The third is to deal with the Holy Spirit Church branch in Mingdu.

Unfortunately, the third mission was stopped by Master Xuan. As expected, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao was in Mingdu. If Mu Ran took action against the Holy Spirit Church, Long Xiaoyao might be drawn out. For Mu Ran's safety, Master Xuan did not allow him to temporarily stop dealing with the Holy Spirit Church.

Mu Ran was somewhat helpless. He actually didn't mind fighting with the Ultimate Douluo. Mu Ran knew how strong the Ultimate Douluo was, but he also had many tricks. Even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Mu Ran suppressed his desire to take action against the Holy Spirit Church.

It doesn't matter, it will be solved sooner or later.

The light in his eyes disappeared, and Mu Ran left the rooftop and returned to the bedroom. He wanted to draw everything he just saw and give it to Zhang Lexuan.

The next morning, the competition system was finally announced, and each participating team received a description of the competition system from the organizing committee.

When Mu Ran received this explanation, he couldn't help but frown. This competition system is different from what Master Xuan said at the beginning!
Shrek Academy found out about this competition system through various sources. It never occurred to them that the Sun-Moon Empire would change the competition system temporarily. It might be specially adjusted for the Holy Spirit Church.

However, the Sun-Moon Empire was the organizer of this competition after all. As long as it was about the competition, as long as it was not an excessive request, they had absolute say. Even if the major empires were dissatisfied with the competition system, they could only curse him in private and could only endure it in formal occasions.

According to the competition system, the entire competition is divided into two stages: the preliminaries and the finals. The clan teams and the college teams are all mixed.

In the preliminary round, it was indeed a knockout round. But this knockout round seemed to have changed a bit. The competition venue was set up in the suburbs of Mingdu, not in the center of the city where the competition was supposed to be held. One of the instructions read: Whether it is the preliminary round or the final, only the diameter of the competition venue will be limited, but the height will not be limited.

Seeing this, Mu Ran, who was always calm, was also a little annoyed. Not limiting the height, isn't this obviously providing convenience for the Sun Moon Empire!

As long as you have a flying soul guide. Soul mentors at the level of fourth-ring soul masters can soar in the sky and conduct air-to-ground attacks from the sky. There is no doubt that this competition rule has huge benefits for soul mentors.

Where on the continent are there the most soul mentors? Without a doubt, it is the Sun-Moon Empire.

However, this rule is not too extreme. Even though everyone knows it, there is nothing they can do about it.

In addition to this, the scoring method for individual elimination matches has also changed slightly, and will be calculated based on the number of remaining players. This also means that every point is important, and sometimes strategic abandonment may not be advisable.

Although the competition system proposed by the Sun-Moon Empire officials was resisted by the sects and academies originally from the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, they were ultimately unable to overcome their toughness.

Mu Ran already knew this would be the result, so he did not protest on behalf of Shrek Academy.

The draw was held the day before the competition. After the Sun Moon Empire's official decision, the first round of byes were given to the Shrek Academy team. The team led by Dai Huabin advanced directly to the next round. And they received the full quota of 12 points.

No one raised any objection to this preferential treatment, which was what Shrek Academy deserved.

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight rose in the east, large numbers of people gathered on the outskirts of Mingdu.

Mu Ran led the Shrek Academy team to come as well. Although they didn't have a match in the first round, they had to come and see the situation of the Tang Sect.

At this time, the usually empty suburbs were already crowded with people. There were at least more than 30,000 soldiers maintaining order. The crowds were divided into areas and isolated from the competition venue. On the north side of the competition venue, there was a high platform, all made of metal. It looked like it could accommodate thousands of people. And the competition venue looked even more imposing.

The Shrek Academy students were all in the pergola rest area, while the Tang Sect students were on the benches far away from them.

The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was right next to the Shrek Academy team. As soon as he sat down, Meng Hongchen looked to the side and stared at Mu Ran.

"Meng, stop looking." Xiao Hongchen pulled Meng Hongchen.

"Hey, brother, look, why don't we recognize anyone in the Shrek Academy team?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen quickly looked in Shrek's direction, and sure enough, he didn't recognize anyone.

"This shouldn't be the case! Is this their reserve team? But they look about the same age as us!" Xiao Hongchen didn't understand what was going on.

“They will not fail to come today, so could it be that Shrek Academy has replaced Huo Yuhao and the others?” When she said this, Meng Hongchen’s voice gradually became smaller. She herself did not believe what she said.

"Never mind, let's go ask when we have free time!"

"OK then!"

The sky was already bright, and the rising sun from the east shone on everyone, as if all the contestants were coated with a layer of gold. There were so many teams coming to participate that it took half an hour just to take their seats. The noisy voices of the people in the distance continued to be heard.

Mu Ran was suddenly alerted and raised his head to look at a mysterious team, which was the Holy Spirit Team.

The leading Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng shuddered suddenly, looked in the direction of Mu Ran, and then quickly looked away.

He recognized her; it was Lotus Fan Douluo Mu Ran.

Zhang Peng did not dare to make a mistake in front of Mu Ran and led his team to sit down directly without saying anything.

Mu Ran withdrew his gaze and continued to watch other teams enter.
