Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 386 The Scheme of Xu Tianran, the Champion of Ghost Valley
For a moment, the entire audience was stunned. Team leader Miaoxin went up on stage and turned to Zheng Zhan, saying, "Hey, referee, shouldn't you announce the result now?"

Zheng Zhan nodded, giving them a deep look, his heart filled with helplessness. This was the strongest class in the history of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and they had thought they would win the championship, but they still fell short. However, the outcome was now decided. Under the watchful eyes of all forces, Guigu won fair and square, and he could not deny anything. After calming himself down, he said in a deep voice, "The match is over. Guigu has won this team battle."

"This referee declares that the champion team of this Continental Elite Soul Master Battle Tournament is Guigu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted throughout the venue.

"Guigu. Guigu Guigu"

Despite this being the home ground of the Sun Moon Empire, the Guigu Sect's support was just as strong, even including many citizens of the Sun Moon Empire.

Compared to other empires, the people here suffer the most persecution from evil spirit masters. After all, even the national capital has so many branches of the Holy Spirit Cult, so you can imagine what it's like in other places.

Yuwen Tuo established Ghost Valley, raising the slogan of exterminating evil soul masters, just like the Shrek Academy's inspection team back then. More importantly, they didn't just talk the talk, but actually walked the walk. The number of evil soul masters who died at the hands of Ghost Valley is already countless.

All those who hated evil spirit masters naturally became supporters of Guiguzi.

"We won, we won..." Lian Yue murmured in disbelief.

She was the least talented among them all, and never dreamed that one day she would be able to represent a sect in a major competition and win the championship.

Cao Jinxuan put his arm around her shoulder and laughed, "Of course, don't forget, this is the sect founded by my master."

"Aotian, how are you feeling?" Vina asked as she approached Long Aotian.

Long Aotian flexed his muscles. "Absolutely no problem. I even feel like I haven't played enough. It's not enough, not enough at all. For me, this final is not as good as my usual practice sessions with my junior brother."

"Don't rush, you'll soon be able to have a good fight." Vina glanced in the direction of the Holy Spirit Sect. There were still two people in their team who hadn't been dealt with for their junior brother: one was Zhongli Wu's personal disciple, and the other was the Blue Silver Saintess.

Looking at the cheering crowd, Nana murmured, "If only my benefactor could see this!"

"Of course I can see it!" Just then, a voice rang out from the contestant passage, and Xiao Xiao, Ling Luochen, and Qiu'er walked out, surrounding Yuwen Tuo.

Long Aotian's earth-shattering punch just now shook the heavens and earth, and also woke up Yuwen Tuo, who was sleeping in.

Now his power has been completely transformed. Not only that, the true energy of his transformed divine fire clone is several times stronger than before, no matter how pure and refined it is. Who said that purifying soul power would affect the speed of cultivation? Yuwen Tuo said that was all nonsense. The cultivation method that his master improved for him allowed him to replace the turbid air he exhaled with pure heaven and earth energy while purifying his power. Not only did he not downgrade, but he also upgraded several levels.

Yuwen Tuo has now reached level 80. With just one more spirit ring, he will become a Soul Douluo.

"Master!"

"Junior brother."

"Benefactor!" A group of people immediately surrounded him. Seeing Yuwen Tuo's rosy complexion and energetic appearance, they knew that not only was he alright, but his soul power must have also increased.

“Yuwen Tuo has woken up, and his skills seem to have improved again!” Jing Hongchen looked at Yuwen Tuo, who was surrounded by people, and then glanced at Xu Tianran, who was sitting on the throne with a gloomy face.

He knew that with the defeat of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, his last path was also blocked.

He had never agreed to pledge allegiance to Xu Tianran, which had long been a source of dissatisfaction for Xu Tianran. If he could win the championship for Xu Tianran and enhance the glory of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran might have valued him a little more. But now, if he were not still somewhat useful and held a superior position, Xu Tianran would probably dismiss him or even eliminate him immediately.

Although Jing Hongchen was not very politically astute, he was not completely destitute. In the original story, he had joined Xu Tianran early on and thought he was in the clear, until he was exiled and realized Xu Tianran's cold-heartedness.

Now that he has not joined Xu Tianran, he can make an objective judgment.

Just as Jing Hongchen had thought, Xu Tianran remained silent, but he propped his face up with one hand and lightly tapped the throne with the fingers of the other. Ju Zi, standing to the side, knew that this was his way of suppressing his anger.

"Jing Hongchen, if you weren't still somewhat useful," Xu Tianran thought coldly, then looked at Ju Zi and said, "Ju Zi, how's the mobilization of our people going?"

"Your Highness, everything has been integrated, and tonight is the perfect time," Orange said.

“Alright, let’s delay for another half day. Besides, we can make use of Yuwen Tuo before he dies.” Xu Tianran channeled his soul power and called out, “Ghost Valley Sect, congratulations on winning the competition.”

As his voice rang out, the entire hall fell silent, and all eyes turned to the regent.

"I am very pleased that the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament held in my Sun Moon Empire has come to a successful conclusion. I have also seen so many talented young Soul Masters. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and strive for the prosperity of the Douluo Continent."

"Today, all academies and sects are requested to rest for the night. Tomorrow at noon, I will personally preside over the closing ceremony of the competition and present the championship prize to the champion team, Guigu."

The winning team naturally receives a prize. The other countries usually offer soul bones, while the Sun Moon Empire mostly offers soul tools.

The prize promised before the competition was a level nine soul tool.

Of course, Xu Tianran would never actually give it to Yuwen Tuo; that would be aiding the enemy. All he wanted was for Yuwen Tuo to stay one more night, and tonight would be the night he would die.

Jing Hongchen arrived on the field, picked up her unconscious grandson and granddaughter, glanced at Yuwen Tuo, and thought to herself, "Your Highness Prince Yan, no, it should be Grand Tutor Yuwen, I hope you can survive tonight. Your fate tonight will also determine my future."

“Yuwen Tuo!” Xu Tianran continued.

Yuwen Tuo stepped forward. "You damned eunuch, what do you want with me now?"

Xu Tianran clenched his fists. This Yuwen Tuo was always utterly disrespectful to him. Just as the Soul Master Legion beside him was about to raise their Soul Guidance Guns, Xu Tianran suppressed his anger and gently raised his hand. "Brother, you were born in the countryside and raised by commoners. I don't blame you for your lack of manners. But no matter how much you hate me, Father is innocent. He is seriously ill and only wants to see you one more time. Yesterday, he finally regained some consciousness and ordered me to take you to see him today. As a son, you wouldn't refuse such a small wish of your father, would you?"
