Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 396 Personally Ascending to the Sun and Moon, Unkillable by Level 99 Poison, Battle of the Quarterfinals

During the six months that Zhou Sichen was away on the Star Sea Continent, many things also happened on the Douluo Continent.

The current All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Battle Tournament is already somewhat different from the original story.

The current Xu Tianran is even more insane than he was at the same time in the original story, because the development of the three major empires that originally belonged to Douluo Continent has been too rapid in recent years.

If he doesn't act sooner, his lifelong dream of unifying the continent may not be fulfilled as the three great empires of the original Douluo Continent grow stronger.

Therefore, he had to accelerate the plan ahead of schedule.

For him, a disabled man, unifying the continent is his greatest wish; everything else is no longer important.

He wants to be the greatest emperor of all time in the Sun and Moon royal family!
After the start of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Battle Tournament, Zhou Sichen returned to Douluo Continent.

Upon returning to Douluo Continent, Zhou Sichen immediately instructed Ye Guyi, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen to assemble the armies of the three great empires and begin making strategic plans.

All the Soul Master sects and high-ranking officials of the three great empires of the original Douluo Continent were also drawn to Zhou Sichen's big move.

Fortunately, Zhou Sichen now has enough trump cards and only needs to wait for Xu Tianran to make the first move.

After the preparations were completed, the competition proceeded in full swing.

This year's Shrek Academy team was led by four Soul Saint level experts: Di Xi, Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue, and He Caitou, so the result was naturally beyond doubt.

With the addition of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, and the fact that Tang Ya's own martial soul has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, the Tang Sect's strength is not to be underestimated.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also demonstrated formidable strength.

The brother and sister have not relied on special means to increase their soul power, but the soul spirit has increased their foundation.

In addition, Jing Hongchen prepared high-quality soul bones for them. The brother and sister are now not only at the level of a seventh-ring Soul Saint, but their foundation has also become increasingly profound, eliminating the problem of potential depletion in the original work.

However, even though they are already very strong, the strength of the other participating teams should not be underestimated.

Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are not worth mentioning.

The Body Sect is no longer participating in the competition under the name of the Snow Demon Sect, but directly under the name of the Body Sect.

Moreover, thanks to Zhou Sichen, the current Body Sect team is many levels stronger than in the original story.

Long Aotian's seventh soul ring is no longer ten thousand years old, but has reached the level of one hundred thousand years old, and he also has a one hundred thousand year old soul spirit. His soul power level has reached a terrifying level of seventy-five!

In addition, Vina is now also a seven-ring Soul Saint, and her Brain Martial Soul has a configuration of six black and one red soul rings, which means she has also fully developed her talent.

With two super soul saints, Long Aotian and Vina, leading the team, their strength is in no way inferior to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and is on par with Shrek Academy.

Besides the Body Sect, the Holy Spirit Sect is another Soul Master sect that has a Soul Saint-level expert among the participating teams.

The Holy Spirit Cult's strength has increased to a level compared to the original story due to its rise in the Sun and Moon Empire over the past two years.

Although Yan Feng is still the only Soul Saint, all the other team members have reached the Soul Emperor level, making the overall strength stronger than in the original story.

The competition continued, and the final eight teams were Shrek Academy, Body Sect, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Holy Spirit Cult, Tang Sect, Star Luo National Academy, Proud Sword Sect, and Heavenly Dragon Sect.

In the original story, the Mingdu Soul Master Academy did not advance, and only three of the top eight academies remained, with the rest being sects.

However, all the teams that made it to the quarterfinals possess formidable strength.

The quarterfinals were divided into two groups. Unlike the original story, Shrek Academy, Body Sect, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Heavenly Dragon Gate were in one group. The two groups were drawn into two teams to advance to the semifinals.

The Holy Spirit Cult, Tang Sect, Proud Sword Sect, and Star Luo National Academy were grouped together, and two teams were drawn to compete in a two-on-two format to advance to the semifinals.

Although the group assignments for both groups differed from the original story, without exception, the teams that remained in the end were all strong teams.

The subsequent quarterfinals were the most intense in the history of the tournament.

At this time, Zhou Sichen also arrived at the competition venue. Accompanying him was none other than the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Busi!
At this moment, Du Busi was glowing with health; his long period of seclusion and breakthrough had finally brought positive feedback.

After Zhou Sichen returned to Douluo Continent and personally gave Du Busi a Dragon Pill, he successfully condensed a dual soul core with the same position and resonance, broke through level 99, and advanced to the Limit Douluo level.

Although Du Bu Si has just broken through, his cultivation is very stable due to the power of the Dragon Pill, and his soul power foundation is even more abundant.

With the awakening of his original martial soul at the gold level, Du Bu Si is definitely the ceiling among Limit Douluo with dual soul cores in the same position!

Even in his prime, Teacher Moon might not be as good as Poison Undying now.

That's why Du Bu Si personally accompanied Zhou Si Chen to the Sun Moon Empire to watch the competition after leaving the pass.

Firstly, it was to see how their disciple performed, and secondly, Zhou Sichen's identity within the Sun Moon Empire had always been kept secret.

Although the higher-ups on the Douluo Continent side were already aware of Zhou Sichen's identity and strength, no matter how the Sun Moon Empire infiltrated, Zhou Sichen's identity remained unexposed.

Because everyone isn't stupid. If Zhou Sichen were just a tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, then his identity might not have been able to be hidden for so long.

But once everyone knew Zhou Sichen's potential and abilities, any higher-ups who still thought of informing on him would be out of their minds.

Therefore, Zhou Sichen's identity in the Sun Moon Empire is still that of the son of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, and at most he is only a seven-ring Soul Saint.

When Xu Tianran saw Zhou Sichen, his eyes couldn't help but sharpen.

Undeniably, Zhou Sichen is a genius among those he has ever seen, with a unique talent.

Unfortunately, Zhou Sichen could not be used by him.

Moreover, this time Zhou Sichen was not accompanied by Mu En or Xuan Zi, but he had an extra person, Du Bu Si.

Xu Tianran had already grasped the information about Du Bu Si, and knew that this Sect Master of the Body Sect was not only powerful, but also extremely domineering.

Although he didn't know why the Sect Master of the Body Sect was so close to the Young Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Tianran was very clear about one thing.

That is, the three great empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent are now perhaps more united than he knew.

Even the Sea God Pavilion and the Body Sect, who had a long history of grudges and affections, had reconciled. Xu Tianran dared not think too much about anything else.

With this in mind, Xu Tianran became even more determined.

Fortunately, he had already invited Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, and with a group of Soul Masters from the Empire and more than a dozen Title Douluos from the Holy Spirit Sect in charge, they were not afraid at all, even in a contest of high-end combat power.

Moreover, Xu Tianran believed that his secret arrangements had aroused no suspicion whatsoever, and he thought that no one could possibly imagine that he would tamper with such a major event as the Grand Tournament. Therefore, he was extremely confident.

No matter how successful Zhou Sichen is now, it won't be long before this young master of the Sea God Pavilion becomes his prisoner.

With Zhou Sichen in hand, Xu Tianran will no longer be afraid of Dragon God Douluo Mu En. Using his "son" as a bargaining chip, even if it doesn't force Shrek Academy to surrender, it should at least keep them locked up, right?
After all, you wouldn't want your "son" to get hurt, would you?

Xu Tianran's plan was flawless, so he was very confident at this moment.

When Zhou Sichen and Du Busi arrived at the competition venue, a wave of excitement swept through the crowd because many people recognized Zhou Sichen.

In the eyes of most ordinary people, Zhou Sichen's status as the young master of the Sea God Pavilion is enough to drive them crazy.

Unfortunately, Zhou Sichen wasn't there to participate in the competition, but rather to cheer on Shrek Academy. He would only be there to watch the last few matches.

It's impossible for the audience to see the young master of the Sea God Pavilion perform brilliantly, but fortunately, this year's competition is far more exciting than ever before, so the audience won't be disappointed.

When Zhou Sichen arrived and his figure appeared on the big screen, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Body Sect, Star Luo National Academy, and others all smiled.

Di Xi, in particular, was eager to show Zhou Sichen her strength.

Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue couldn't help but exchange a glance, knowing that it wasn't easy for their eldest brother to arrive in time, and they would definitely have to show their full strength next.

This draw was conducted on short notice before the start of the competition, with the aim of not giving the eight teams any time to react and testing their adaptability.

On the platform in front, Chief Referee Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, signaled the captains of the eight teams to come up and draw lots.

The captain of Shrek Academy is not Di Xi, who is the strongest in individual strength, but Cao Jinxuan, who is a control-type student.

In actual combat, even the current Di Xi might not be a match for Cao Jinxuan, because Cao Jinxuan's time-stopping ability is too overpowered.

Moreover, Di Xi knew that Cao Jinxuan was Zhou Sichen's second younger brother, and they were all family, so she had no intention of taking over as captain.

As long as Cao Jinxuan gives her enough space, she can unleash her full potential.

Therefore, the eight people who went on stage were Cao Jinxuan from Shrek Academy in the upper half of the competition, Long Aotian from the Body Sect, Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Yu Tianlong from the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

The lower half of the tournament featured the Holy Spirit's teachings, Tang Ya from the Tang Clan, Wu Yifan from the Proud Sword Sect (whose name was the same as the Sewing Machine Brother's, so I changed it), and the Star Luo National Academy's grand feast.

The final draw results were also quite touching: Shrek Academy faced off against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Masters in the upper bracket, while Body Sect faced off against Heavenly Dragon Gate.

In the lower bracket, Tang Sect will face Holy Spirit Sect, and Proud Sword Sect will face Star Luo National Academy.

After the match results were announced, some were happy while others were sad.

The fateful showdown between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy doesn't have to wait until the finals; we can already see it in the quarterfinals.

However, the members of the Tang Clan were all somewhat worried, because their opponent was the Holy Spirit Sect. If they lost this battle, their Tang Clan would be out of the running for the finals.

However, Tang Ya took it all in stride. The fact that the Tang Clan had already reached the quarterfinals in their first competition was enough to prove their strength.

Moreover, at Zhou Sichen's suggestion, Tang Ya combined some of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons with soul tools, and the effect in the competition was quite good.

The competition isn't even over yet, and Tang Ya has already received quite a few orders.

So even though Tang Ya ultimately lost to the Holy Spirit Sect, she wasn't actually sad.

Moreover, the methods of the Holy Spirit Sect are clearly those of evil soul masters. When facing this group of evil soul masters, one should either be ruthless and leave no one alive, or protect oneself to avoid being tricked.

Tang Ya is in a good mood right now. If she can win, she will rid the people of this menace; if she can't, she will protect herself.

However, Beibei is quite strong now. With the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul and its ability to counter evil soul masters, Beibei, at level 69, might be able to create an opportunity.

Of course, this is all on the premise that everyone's safety is guaranteed.

Tang Ya knows her own limitations and won't risk everyone's safety for the sake of rankings.

On the other side, the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen smiled when they saw that their opponents were Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy is very strong; with four Soul Saint level experts leading the team, they are undoubtedly the champions of this competition.

However, the Hongchen siblings are not without any chance. Although they only have two Soul Saints, they still have the trump card of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

With the explosive power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they were confident they could put up a fight against Shrek Academy in a short time.

Moreover, the Hongchen siblings also possess soul spirits. Although their overall strength is not as good as Shrek Academy's, they would never admit defeat so easily.

In the VIP section, Xu Tianran couldn't help but look at Jing Hongchen after seeing the lottery results.

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Master Hongchen, are you confident in facing Shrek Academy, which has four Soul Saints?"

Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "The odds of winning this battle are less than 30%, but Xiao and Meng will definitely go all out and live up to Your Highness's expectations."

Xu Tianran was not angry because of Jing Hongchen's words. After all, no matter how outstanding these geniuses were, they would all be his prisoners soon.

He'll have plenty of ways to make these people submit!
Xu Tianran then looked at the masked man on the left: "Where is the Imperial Preceptor? Those guys from the Tang Sect are all capable of countering the Holy Spirit Sect. How confident are the Soul Masters?"

This Soul Master is none other than Zhongli Wu, the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. His Martial Soul is Death God Puppet, and he is a level 98 Super Douluo.

Possessing the Bone Dragon King, a beast spirit blessed by the Silver Dragon King, his strength rivals that of a Limit Douluo, far surpassing even the level 98 gatekeeper, Xuanzi.

Zhongli Wu's gaze was fixed on Du Busi. He and Du Busi were both level 98, but now that they met, he noticed that Du Busi's aura was different.

Although he wasn't sure if Du Busi had broken through to the final step, he could clearly feel that Du Busi's aura had become more profound.

Therefore, his gaze basically never left Du Bu Si and Zhou Si Chen from the moment they arrived.

Faced with Xu Tianran's question, Zhongli Wu smiled confidently: "The strongest Shrek Academy and Body Sect are in the upper half of the bracket. I am confident that the Holy Spirit Sect can fight its way out of the lower half and advance to the finals."

Zhongli Wu's unspoken meaning was that the Tang Clan was insignificant, and his confidence naturally stemmed from his confidence in his closed-door disciple.

Yan Feng's martial soul is a bone dragon. After being trained by him, his strength is close to that of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

In a one-on-one match at the same level, Zhongli Wu is confident that Yan Feng is no less capable than anyone else!
Seeing Zhongli Wu's confidence, Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Since the Grand Preceptor is so confident, let's wait and see."
