Douluo: Blue Lightning Dominates the World, Fist Douluo

Chapter 129 A Glimpse Through a Tube: Undercurrents Flow

In an instant, Yu Tianlin put himself in Qian Renxue's shoes.

Why go through the trouble of summoning the descendants of the empire's generals to participate in the Soul Master Competition?

Of course, it wasn't because I was bored.

Firstly, the competition can vindicate these younger generations, and secondly, it allows these descendants of generals to demonstrate their power to other officials in the empire.

Thirdly, if these sons of generals achieve good results in the competition, Qian Renxue can use this opportunity to bestow generous rewards.

First, it can win over the imperial generals behind them; second, it can also show others that following Qian Renxue brings great benefits.

Kagome is a direct descendant of Grand Marshal Golong of the Heaven Dou Empire.

If even Ge Long has started openly supporting Qian Renxue, then isn't the scene of the Spirit Hall swallowing up the Heaven Dou Empire just around the corner?

Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is indeed growing stronger rapidly, but the Spirit Hall's expansion speed seems even more frightening.

Once they take over the Heaven Dou Empire, what power in the world can rival the Spirit Hall?

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?

Forget it, they can't even handle the Spirit Hall's army of 100,000 Soul Masters, let alone the millions of ordinary soldiers.

Even if everyone lined up and let you chop them down without resisting, you still couldn't kill them all. Besides, those people could run away, fight back, or set ambushes.

Star Luo Empire?

It's even more impossible; once the Heaven Dou Empire falls, they will be the first to face the overwhelming force of the Spirit Hall's army.

It's difficult enough to protect oneself, let alone resist.

The Clear Sky Sect is nothing but a bunch of rats. Fourteen years ago, they dared not resist. Now, facing the even more powerful Spirit Hall, they will only shrink back faster and hide more secretly.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is even less of a threat; their current strength is not even as strong as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.

As for other Soul Master forces, large and small, the Lower Four Sects are still loyal dogs of the Spirit Hall, and other Soul Master forces are unreliable. Once the situation becomes unfavorable, they will only surrender to the Spirit Hall.

After much thought, it seemed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already stepped one foot into the sinkhole.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin couldn't help but gasp, instantly losing all interest in participating in the competition, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Tianlin, the opening ceremony is about to begin. Where are you going?"

Yu Tianheng opened his mouth and shouted, and Yu Tianlin stopped in his tracks, his face extremely ugly.

"I have some matters to attend to back at the sect, and my return date is uncertain. I'll leave the rest of the competition arrangements to you."

Everyone was stunned and stared blankly at Yu Tianlin.

"Tianlin, what happened?" Yu Tianxin asked.

Yu Tianlin pondered for a moment: "It's nothing serious. I just have some guesses that I need to discuss with my great-grandfather and the others. Don't overthink it. Just focus on preparing for the competition."

"Rongrong, come back with me. I need to talk to Uncle Ning about some things. Could you introduce me to him?"

Ning Rongrong was taken aback for a moment: "Um, Brother Tianlin, my dad was invited to the opening ceremony and he's at the Great Soul Arena right now."

Yu Tianlin was also stunned for a moment before he remembered that Ning Fengzhi was the national advisor of the Tiandou Empire. He really couldn't leave such a major event concerning the whole country.

He frowned slightly and nodded helplessly.

"Well then, I'll go first. When Uncle Ning has time, I'll trouble you to tell him to make sure he comes to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in person."

Ning Rongrong nodded quickly: "Okay, Brother Tianlin, I'll remember."

After a moment's thought, Yu Tianlin realized there was nothing more to say, then turned and left the Great Soul Arena, heading straight for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His departure didn't cause much of a stir, nor did it delay the opening ceremony of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament by even a fraction.

Soon, more than 30 competition staff members entered the rest area and led the participating teams from various advanced soul master academies into the venue in an orderly manner.

The Thunder are not the first, nor will they be the last.

To demonstrate the authority of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Royal Dou Team 2 was the first to enter, followed closely by the Thunder Team.

After all, the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is well-known and cannot be ignored by anyone.

Led by the staff, the Thunder team entered through a side door, passed through a long corridor, and finally arrived at the actual arena area.

Upon entering the arena, even the seasoned Thunder team was stunned by the scene before them.

Before them was a huge and open circular plaza, surrounded by a solid wall more than five meters high. Outside the wall were spectator seats arranged in a terraced pattern, where countless spectators sat waving flags and shouting.

Directly in front of the central venue is a grand stage with a gold background, behind which is the renovated VIP area.

A wide arena stood in the very center of the circular plaza, with a diameter of over 150 meters, and the first team to arrive, Royal Fighting Team 2, was already standing on it.

"Next, let's welcome the Thunder Academy's participating team, Team Thunder!"

Suddenly, the emcee on the stage, with the help of the soul tool, spoke louder than anyone else in the hall, clearly reaching the ears of the Thunder Team members.

Following the instructions of the staff, they walked out of the passageway in an orderly manner and slowly made their way towards the central arena.

"Look, these young talents are the Thunder Team. They have a full team of eleven, or at least only nine members for now, but we must not underestimate them."

"As one of the five elemental academies, Thunder Academy is known throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire. It is the highest institution of learning and a dream holy land in the hearts of countless thunder attribute soul masters on the continent."

"In the previous Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, Thunder Academy achieved a remarkable result of reaching the semi-finals, only narrowly losing to the Spirit Hall team in the end."

"Their slogan for this registration was: First, we don't want second place; second, we only want first place."

"Oh, what a powerful slogan! It seems that Thunder Academy, after five years of silence, is finally ready to avenge their defeat and win the championship. Their courage is truly commendable. Let's look forward to their excellent performance in this competition!"

As the Thunder team marched along, the emcee's incessant chatter filled their ears, and tens of thousands of spectators cheered in unison from the stands. Even the members of the Thunder team couldn't help but feel a little socially awkward.

Dugu Yan lowered her head slightly, her face stiff as she weakly complained, "Tianheng, who came up with this slogan? How come we didn't know about it?"

"Didn't we agree to keep a low profile? This slogan has made us the target of everyone's criticism in an instant. What's the point of keeping a low profile?"

Yu Tianheng smiled awkwardly: "It should be Uncle Lingyun. As the team leader, he was in charge of the registration."

"But this slogan is quite fitting, isn't our goal to win the championship this time?"

As the other participating teams entered one by one, the Thunder team realized that their registration slogan was actually quite normal.

For example, the Kamikaze Academy: "We are the wanderers of the wind, we will not stop until the very end, and we will never return until we win first place."

Blazing Academy: Burning flames, blazing hearts, we burn ourselves, we fight against all odds, we are determined to be number one.

Tianshui College: We are as gentle as water, we nourish things silently, we may be women, but we will never admit defeat.

Xiangjia Academy: With united hearts, mountains can be moved; with strong bodies, we will never relinquish the championship.

Even more bizarre is Shrek Academy, which is called "The Champion Without Rivals".

Their ridiculous slogan, coupled with their dingy yellow team uniforms, immediately caused the entire audience to burst into laughter.

Compared to the numerous bizarre slogans, the Thunder team suddenly felt that their slogans were pretty good too, and even their slight social anxiety was cured in an instant.
