Chapter 368 The Body Sect's Lineup (Please Subscribe!!!)
The price is exactly the same as the Star Luo Empire Soul Fighting Tournament, but the service is worlds apart.

This move was a resounding slap in the face to the Star Luo Empire.

Even viewers from the Star Luo Empire couldn't help but complain that their own country was indeed too backward in this regard.

Making spectators stand while watching the game—does that really treat them like human beings?

It's so weird.

They didn't realize it then, but now that they're suddenly being treated like human beings, they realize how miserable their past lives were.

But that's not all the key point.

After awakening, the people of the Star Luo Empire compared their experiences in Mingdu with what they had seen and heard, and realized that they were not treated as human beings in the Star Luo Empire, but rather as livestock.

It would have been better if we hadn't made the comparison; the comparison has led us to question our past lives.

The people of the other two empires weren't much better off; they too felt the difference.

Because of the introduction of sect teams, the number of participating teams in this Soul Master Competition is unprecedented.

More than 400 teams signed up in total.

Su Ming doesn't remember how many teams there were in the original story, but he knows that the number of participating teams now far exceeds that in the original story.

Because the Blacksmith Association also invested in this Soul Master Competition.

Along with the news that sects would be allowed to participate in the competition, news also emerged of the investment from the Blacksmith Association.

"Every team that achieves an excellent ranking in the competition will receive a reward of spirit metal, the difference being the quality and quantity of the spirit metal."

"Rare metals vary greatly and have different properties. The association will find the sects that perform best in their respective fields during this Soul Master Competition to establish cooperative relationships."

The first rule encourages powerful sects to participate, showcase their abilities, and compete for rankings.

The second point encourages ordinary sects to participate in the competition. As long as you have your own unique characteristics and can showcase them, and there is a corresponding rare metal that matches your sect, then your sect will become a cooperative point for the Blacksmith Association to study this rare metal.

Su Ming also participated in this competition, representing the Body Sect.

The Forging Masters Association, as a neutral party, will not organize teams to participate in the competition.

"Pah, it's just to disgust us."

Upon learning this news, Xu Sanshi immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

"Isn't this a sarcastic jab at Shrek Academy?"

Huo Yuhao and the others remained silent.

Indeed, the fact that the Blacksmith Association didn't participate is a clear indication that Shrek Academy's so-called neutrality is utterly shameless.

As for the fact that the Body Sect is the core of the Blacksmith Association, they cannot use this to target the other party, because the Body Sect's conditions for accepting disciples obviously have a threshold, namely, the Body Martial Soul Master.

The Blacksmiths' Association represents neutral forces and gathers talent from all sides, but it will not use such gathered talent to participate in competitions or bully subordinate forces whose talent has been plundered.

In contrast, Shrek Academy plundered talent from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, selected the strongest group of geniuses, and then used these geniuses to suppress the academies of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

They really showed no mercy when bullying the Star Luo Royal Team, the Imperial Team, and the Fighting Spirit Team.
"And what's more, isn't Su Ming's participation even more outrageous?" Xu Sanshi exclaimed. "Isn't this blatantly telling everyone not to bother with the championship, that the Body Sect is determined to have it?"

Two and a half years ago, Su Ming went to Shrek Academy and single-handedly challenged the Inner Academy. In a series of battles, all three of the Inner Academy's representative powerhouses lost: Wu Ming, who was good at attacking, Han Ruoruo, who was good at controlling, and Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the Inner Academy. They were all easily defeated by Su Ming.

This incident still leaves a deep mark on the hearts of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Who can beat Su Ming?
Even Huo Yuhao, who possessed four Martial Soul Fusion Techniques, felt despair.

They lost the championship in the last Soul Fighting Tournament, and they won't be able to win it back in this tournament either.

Shrek has truly fallen to an extreme point in their generation.

As the team leader, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of despair.

Why did he have to be born in such an era?

"I have tried my best."

Five years ago, he was only a second-ring Great Soul Master, but now he has even cultivated to the fifth ring!
Moreover, thanks to his own foundation, he had fought against many Soul Emperor senior students in the inner academy, confirming that he was invincible among Soul Emperors.

Even if a Soul Saint doesn't activate his Martial Soul True Body, it will be very difficult to defeat him.

He had tried his best, but he still couldn't catch up with Su Ming.

Accept your fate.

Huo Yuhao felt the force coming from his palm and looked at Wang Dong'er beside him.

"Dong'er, it's me."

Wang Dong'er began to comfort Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, you've done your best, it's not your fault."

"Senior Brother, I'll just be a participant in this competition; I won't be involved in any actual battles. I hope you and Senior Sister Vina won't run into any trouble."

Long Aotian patted his chest.

"Your senior brother has already reached the seventh ring, so he's invincible in this competition."

Su Ming was speechless.

"Don't be careless."

Although a seventh-ringed being is theoretically invincible, wouldn't they be completely overwhelmed by a Soul Emperor like Su Ming?
"I was careless. Your senior sister is still here."

During the Soul Hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest, Vina obtained five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. Her Brain Martial Soul finally awakened a second time under the stimulation of five Soul Shocks, and her Soul Power successfully broke through level sixty. She then directly hunted down a sixth Soul Ring.

Having twin martial souls, and having a Soul Emperor who has awakened the second phase of the Brain Martial Soul, is also a form of invincibility.

Su Ming shook his head.

Fortunately, he had taken out insurance in advance.

He provided every disciple of the Body Sect who participated in this competition with a set of battle armor.

Long Aotian's improvement over the original work is not small, but he was given a two-word battle armor, and Vina also has a two-word battle armor.

The other members of the Body Sect all possess one-word battle armor made of spirit alloy.

There will be no problem with wearing them.

A Soul Saint equipped with a two-word battle armor elevates one's basic stats to the level of a Title Douluo. Who can defeat him?
"I still have to be steady."

The competition was held as scheduled.

Su Ming will not participate in the competition.

He was in seclusion, digesting the lessons learned from nurturing Zhenhua time and time again.

Teacher Zhenhua did not disappoint him; every time he devoted all his efforts to nurturing his students, they achieved success.

In other words, every time he made an investment, Zhenhua attracted elemental lightning.

Of course, Su Ming also used his ability as a plane master to increase his success rate.

There were also failures.

But as I said before, attracting elemental lightning tribulation is considered a success.

This shows that the forging technique was up to par this time.

Su Ming is currently digesting these techniques and thinking about how to forge a better embryo, increasing the probability of surviving the lightning tribulation from the perspective of materials.

Then, as he continued his research, he realized something was wrong.

"That's not right. I'm not Teacher Zhenhua. My strength is so great that I can just take it head-on."

Su Ming scratched his head and realized the truth.

"Teacher Zhenhua is still too weak."

That seems to be the case.

The materials of battle armor are inherently afraid of elemental lightning tribulations, which means that Zhenhua cannot use the four-word battle armor when facing lightning tribulations.

“I am different. Even without my battle armor, my strength is close to its limit.”
