Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 317 The Clash Between the Two Factions

Inside a room on the top floor of the hotel.

Xue Qinghe reverted to her female attire, transforming back into Qian Renxue, and sat cross-legged on the bed meditating.

Suddenly, the golden angel mark on her forehead began to flicker on and off.

Despite this change, Qian Renxue seemed oblivious, continuing to immerse herself in meditation.

As more and more Soul Emperors and Soul Saints emerge in the elimination rounds, the pressure on Qian Renxue's shoulders also increases.

She is now increasingly regretful that she didn't cultivate diligently over the years, thus wasting so much cultivation time.

After a while.

Qian Renxue awoke from her meditation.

"Strange, why do I have so many distracting thoughts when I meditate tonight?"

She attributed it all to too much pressure, completely unaware that a small spot on the golden angel mark between her eyebrows was turning from light gold to dark gold.

……

early morning.

Soul fighting field.

The second round of the elimination tournament for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament begins.

The competition format is 22 to 11, consisting of 11 matches, which will be completed over three days.

Day 1: Four sessions, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two in the evening.

Day 2: Four sessions, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two in the evening.

Day 3: Three sessions, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

Today is the first day, with a total of four matches, and eight teams will compete against each other in pairs.

During the draw ceremony that determined the order of the matches, Xue Qinghe continued Tang San's good fortune, and the Heaven Dou Royal Second Team once again drew the number one draw.

The other team that drew the number one spot came from a high-level Soul Master Academy in the Star Luo Empire.

In all previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournaments, the academy's worst result was the top sixteen, and its best result was the top four, making it comparable to any of the four elemental academies of the Heaven Dou Empire.

This team's lineup consisted of two Soul Kings and five Soul Masters, which would have given them the strength to win any previous tournament. However, in this tournament, they couldn't even reach the average level of the thirty-six teams.

Two Soul Kings and Five Soul Masters versus One Soul Saint and Six Soul Venerable—it appears to be seven against seven, but in reality, it's seven against one.

Tang San's Soul Power level of a Soul Saint left the academy team from the Star Luo Empire with no hope of winning, so they directly conceded defeat.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Team 2 won without a fight and advanced directly to the third round of the knockout stage.

The match ended before it even started, leaving the audience at the Soul Arena empty-handed.

Furthermore, the schedule will not change due to a team's conceding defeat, so the second match will still not start until the afternoon.

However, in both the afternoon's matches and the first match of the evening, teams conceded defeat outright.

In these two matches, the two teams that conceded defeat were the Wind and Fire Team of the Four Elements Academy and the Sea God Team.

Including the first match, all three matches in which the teams conceded defeat shared a common characteristic: each of the three teams that conceded defeat faced a Soul Saint.

The three Soul Saints who have appeared in this competition so far have all been encountered by them by sheer coincidence. It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unlucky.

Three out of four games ended with empty seats, leaving the audience with no hope for the final game of the day. But then, unexpectedly, the situation took a dramatic turn.

The second round, fourth match of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament elimination round: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan seeded team vs. Star Crown Clan seeded team.
This marks the first appearance of the two seeded teams, and also the first time that the two seeded teams among the eight teams have clashed and faced off.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is one of the three upper sects, one of the seven great sects in the world. The sect's inherited martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, is known as the number one beast martial soul in the world.

The Star Crown Sect is a reclusive sect, unknown to the world, and is only known as a sect of the Star Luo Empire.

These two sects, one in Tiandou and the other in Xingluo, are also among the four major sponsors of this competition. All these factors combined make it impossible for anyone to concede defeat in this match.

At this moment, the entire arena was in an uproar because of the two teams.

The audience was also divided into two camps.

One faction consists of the Heavenly Dou Empire and its subordinate kingdoms and duchies, who support the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's victory.

The other faction consists of the Star Luo Empire and its subordinate kingdoms and duchies, who support the Star Crown Sect's victory.

The two sides had roughly equal numbers of people, so the shouts of encouragement were equally loud, making it difficult to determine which side had the upper hand.

The outcome of this competition is no longer a simple matter of winning or losing; it involves far too many factors.

To ensure the fair and smooth conduct of the competition, the referees for this match have been changed from one to two, with one from the Heaven Dou Empire and the other from the Star Luo Empire.

To be honest, both the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan and the Star Crown Clan breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that their opponents were each other.

The reason is simple: none of the members of either of their teams have a soul power level exceeding 60.

The implication is that neither the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan nor the Star Crown Clan has a successor to a god.

Therefore, once a team encounters a divine inheritor, it can basically be said that their journey in this competition is over.

If one of the top eight seeded teams is eliminated in the very first match of this tournament, it's not just a loss of face, but also a loss of honor for their sect, and so on.

In fact, they were lucky not to draw a team with a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint, but their luck wasn't that great either, because there were quite a few teams without Soul Emperors or Soul Saints, yet they happened to draw each other, who were both among the top eight seeded teams.

Both sides made thorough preparations before the match in order to win.

Whether it's finding out about the opponent's strength, studying the opponent's martial spirit weaknesses, or developing targeted tactics, both sides carry out these pre-match preparations to the end by any means necessary.

Both sides of the arena.

After the two referees simultaneously announced the start of the match, both teams released their respective martial spirits and spirit rings.

Both teams originated from sects, thus possessing distinct characteristics.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan's seed team consists entirely of Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial souls.

The Star Crown Sect's seed team consists entirely of Star Crown Martial Souls.

Seventy spirit rings appeared one after another on the fourteen spirit kings and spirit masters on the arena.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black – a uniform and neat combination of the best soul rings, pleasing to the eye.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan seed team, with Yu Tianheng standing in the very center of the seven members, is the team captain.

To his left stood Yu Tianxin, the team's vice-captain.

The two cousins ​​are equally talented, but Yu Tianheng is slightly better than Yu Tianxin.

With the full support of the sect's resources, Yu Tianheng completely erased the impact of the one-year age difference between him and his cousin Yu Tianxin.

Level 57 Soul King is Yu Tianheng's current Soul Power level.

Yu Tianxin's soul power level was only level 54, which was three levels lower than his cousin's.
