Chapter 303 The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament Begins

Seven days later.

As the morning light pierced through the clouds and shone upon this magnificent and ancient city, the entire Wuhun City seemed like a colossal beast awakening, unleashing a deafening roar.

Flags fluttered in the streets and alleys, and crowds thronged the streets. Soul Masters, nobles, and commoners from various kingdoms, duchies, sects, and academies across the continent, filled with excitement, anticipation, curiosity, and other emotions, flocked to the most magnificent building in the city center—the giant circular square in front of the Papal Palace, which was also the main venue for this continent-wide elite competition of advanced Soul Master academies!

The plaza in front of the Papal Palace has been completely transformed. The once flat and open ground has been divided into several solid arenas of varying sizes, made of special materials, capable of withstanding the aftershocks of battles at the Soul King and even Soul Emperor levels.

Most striking are the dozens of tall grandstands that rise from the ground around the square in a tiered fashion. These grandstands not only offer excellent views, but also silently demonstrate the status and power of their respective factions through their magnificence, elevation, and size.

The highest stands naturally belong to the Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and newly emerging but terrifying super powers like the Beast God Pavilion.

At this moment, on the exclusive grandstand belonging to the Beast God Pavilion, Ling Han, dressed in a simple white robe, calmly took his seat in the main seat at the very front.

His expression was calm, his gaze like a deep, still pool, as he slowly surveyed the bustling, crowded scene below. Wang Dong'er sat beside him, her pale yellow dress accentuating her snow-white skin and stunning beauty. Her pinkish-blue eyes curiously observed her surroundings, occasionally whispering to Ling Han, her smile radiant.

Wang Qiu'er sat on the other side of Ling Han, much quieter. Her gold-trimmed outfit accentuated her beautiful figure, and her golden eyes held only calmness and a hint of scrutiny.

Although the two women did not participate in the competition, their stunning beauty and the aura of power they exuded, which was unsettling, had already made them one of the most eye-catching sights in the stands.

Slightly behind in the stands, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Beast God Pavilion Elder Qi Xue, among others, sat down in order.

Chen Xin, holding a long sword, closed his eyes to meditate, his aura sharp as a divine weapon about to be drawn; Gu Rong looked down with interest, a playful smile on his lips; Qi Xue, with a cold and beautiful face and a straight posture, was like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath, silently guarding.

The entire Beast God Pavilion viewing area exuded an invisible, calm, powerful, and unfathomable aura, attracting countless gazes, both overt and covert, from the surrounding stands. A mix of emotions, including awe, curiosity, jealousy, and apprehension, were directed at it.

Ling Han held a list of match-up participants and basic information about each team that had just been delivered by staff, his gaze fixed on the first page.

"First arena, first match," Ling Han's calm voice rang out, "Dawn Team versus Star Luo Empire Royal Academy Team."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er leaned over to look at the information and blinked, "The Star Luo Empire team? They sound pretty strong! Husband, who should we send out?"

Ling Han handed the information to Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er for review, then leaned back in his chair, lightly tapping the armrest with his fingertips. He had already made his decision: "The Star Luo Empire Royal Academy team's captain is Davis, a level 49 Power Attack-type Soul Master with the Martial Soul White Tiger; the vice-captain is Zhu Zhuyun, a level 47 Agility Attack-type Soul Master with the Martial Soul Nether Cat. Both possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill 'Nether White Tiger,' which is quite powerful and capable of challenging early-stage Soul Kings." "The remaining five members are between level 40 and 43, and their Martial Soul coordination is also quite good. Overall, their strength ranks in the upper-middle range among the participating teams."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the teams below who were already entering the waiting area to prepare, and continued, "This is our first battle in the tournament, and also the first banner to showcase the strength of the younger generation of the Beast God Pavilion to the entire continent. In this battle, we must win, and we must win beautifully, but we don't need to reveal all our trump cards."

"Huyan Li, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Tuoba Xi's son Tuoba Yan, plus two reserve players known for their defense and control," Ling Han arranged. "Huyan Li will be the main attacker, Dugu Yan will control the field and use poison, Ye Lingling will ensure sustainability, and Tuoba Yan will be responsible for defense and support. Ning Rongrong and Tang Ya will not play in this match, and Xiao Xiao will also be temporarily reserved."

The individuals he mentioned all showed significant improvement in their strength during the seven-day intensive training. Hu Yanli, through his own hard work, broke through two levels, advancing from level 52 to level 54, further enhancing his defense and strength; Dugu Yan made rapid progress in poison techniques and soul power control, reaching level 51; Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia healing ability became increasingly refined; and Tuoba Yan, as one of the most outstanding young members of the Holy Dragon Hall, possessed level 48 soul power, and his White Armor Earth Dragon Martial Soul offered a perfect balance of offense and defense.

With the addition of two reserve members carefully trained by the Beast God Pavilion, whose strength is around level 45, this seven-person team, although it did not send out the strongest core triangle of Tang Ya, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Xiao, was already strong enough to crush most teams on paper, not to mention that the opponent only had two peak Soul Masters and the rest were just newly entered Soul Masters.

"This lineup is more than enough to deal with the Star Luo Team," Ling Han concluded calmly, yet with undeniable confidence. "Even if they unleash their Soul Fusion Skill 'Netherworld White Tiger,' Hu Yanli's Diamond Mammoth Defense combined with Tuoba Yan's White Armor Earth Dragon is enough to hold them off for a while. Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison is enough to disrupt and weaken them, and Ye Lingling's continuous healing will keep the team in top condition. Victory is only a matter of time."

"My husband's plans are flawless!" Wang Dong'er clapped her hands with a smile.

Wang Qiu'er nodded slightly, approving of this prudent yet deterrent arrangement.

Soon, Ling Han's arrangements reached the Dawn team in the waiting area below.

Upon hearing the lineup for the first match, captain Tang Ya frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

She understood Ling Han's intention: preserving core strength and achieving an overwhelming victory with a relatively "conventional" lineup would create even greater confusion and deterrence.

She looked at the people who had been named: "Huyan Li, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Tuoba Yan, and the two of you, the first match is yours. Remember the Pavilion Master's instructions, win beautifully, but don't reveal too much."

Hu Yanli grinned and patted his broad chest: "Don't worry, Captain! I guarantee we'll beat them senseless and leave them wondering what we're capable of!" His soul power surged slightly, and although he deliberately concealed his aura as a level 54 Soul King, it still drew the attention of the other team members nearby.

Dugu Yan licked her red lips, a strange purple light flashing in her eyes.

Ye Lingling nodded quietly, holding a crystal-clear, jade-like begonia flower in her hands, exuding a gentle life force.
