Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 298 Xu Tianran's Right and Left Hands! The Hierarchy of Disdain Between Sects and Schools!

The Lord of the Light Palace and Lan Yu both stood up and stood on either side of the two.

Together, they entered a soul-guided elevator, slowly ascending and interacting intimately with the outside world.

The other officials, of course, did not have the privilege of using the elevator, but instead ascended the platform by climbing the steps along one side of the dais.

This shows how much they value the Lord of the Light Palace and Blue Rain.

Even Lan Zhu couldn't accompany them, and stayed obediently in the Light Temple team's rest area.

[Rewrite the fates of Huo Yuhao, the Sun Moon Empire, and Xu Tianran, +25 Luck Points!]

Tsk!
Another wave of luck points was given away for free.

Xu Tianran, you're putting them in a difficult position!
Next time I stab you in the back, I'll try to be quick, accurate, and ruthless, so you won't have too much pain and regret.

Jiejiejiejiejie——

Xu Tianran's arrival also signifies the official start of the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament.

Xu Tianran sat down in the highest seat, with Ju Zi by his side. The Lord of the Light Palace sat down to his left, and Lan Yu sat down to his right.

The other ministers came up, panting, and stood obediently by the platform, waiting.

Jing Hongchen flew into the sky at some point, holding a microphone soul tool in his hand, his voice resounding throughout the open-air battle arena.

"quiet!"

"Next, please welcome the Holy Spirit Church's National Preceptor."

An overwhelming pressure instantly spread throughout the entire area. Everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if dark clouds were pressing down on them, and even their breathing became rapid.

The entire open-air arena, with over a million people, instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Just how powerful is this?
This commotion was caused by Long Xiaoyao.

next moment.

All auras vanished, and to Xu Tianran's right, opposite the Lord of the Light Palace, appeared a silver-haired old man wearing a mask.

It was Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Heh." The Lord of the Light Palace sneered, "His strength is nothing special, but he certainly puts on a grand show."

"Hmph!" Zhongli Wu said coldly, "They're much better than some people who aren't even titled Douluo."

"Very good, after the competition, we'll randomly kill a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult." The Lord of Light fired directly.

Zhongli Wu instinctively wanted to get angry, but then realized that the person opposite him was fearless.

If a real fight breaks out, the Holy Spirit Church will definitely lose in the end.

"Alright," Xu Tianran said, "The priority right now is to win the championship; let's put all other disputes aside for now."

Zhongliwu responded.

But the Lord of the Light Palace just smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Xu Tianran did not comment much on this.

The difference in their positions is immediately apparent.

Zhongli Wu narrowed his eyes, not daring to lash out.

Just then, Jing Hongchen spoke up—

"Citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, and guests who have traveled from afar, on behalf of His Majesty and the Empress, I welcome you!"

"And hereby announces the commencement of the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Youth Soul Masters!"

easy to understand.

Officials and citizens of the Sun Moon Empire knelt and bowed in the direction of Xu Tianran.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

After nine consecutive mountain-like roars and tsunamis, most members who were not from the Sun Moon Empire bowed slightly or lowered their heads, except for the bolder ones like Zhuge Lan and Huo Yuhao who looked around.

It's quite a sight to see something like this in an open-air arena with millions of people.

Especially since the Lord of Light and Blue Rain were also kneeling in the direction of the worship, they also managed to get a windfall, gaining 15 luck points. This time was even more profitable than last time!

"Rise," Xu Tianran said calmly. "Take a seat."

The ministers and commoners of the Sun and Moon Empire then rose and sat down.

—In this respect, the Sun Moon Empire is much better off than the Star Luo Empire, which could only stand by and watch.

"Now, the competition rules will be read."

Jing Hongchen continued to preside over the ceremony—

"I am the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and I will serve as the Chief Referee for this Continental Youth Soul Master Competition!"

The specific rules are as follows:

After reading it aloud word by word.

Jing Hongchen announced—

"Shrek Academy gets a bye in the first round of the preliminary elimination tournament."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy versus Dragon Slayer Sect, both sides select seven members to enter the waiting area."

Tsk tsk tsk!
The Sun Moon Empire has absolutely no shame, engaging in all sorts of underhanded tactics.

Yan Shaozhe, who was in charge of leading the Shrek Academy team, had a dark expression on his face.

This generation of Shrek Academy was already facing a talent gap, and now they've given us this shock.

Do they really think Shrek Academy has no one left?!
Wait!
You'll be in for a world of hurt later!
The waiting area is located in front of the rest area under the shade, with seven chairs lined up in a row, and some tea and pastries placed there.

Lan Yu on the podium did not move, but simply waved his hand downwards.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, brother and sister, stood up and walked at the front, followed by five unfamiliar young soul masters, as they entered the waiting area.

As for the renowned Dragon Slayer Sect, they also sent seven people into the waiting area, all of whom looked confident and showed no fear whatsoever because their opponents were the runners-up of the previous competition.

Could this be a real dragon as well?

The top 32 teams were all decided in a single round. Will the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy be upset by a sudden defeat?

Probably not.
After all, they had already pulled some dirty tricks twice before. I didn't expect them to not set up a good target so that they could get off to a good start.

I don't know.

After sects were allowed to participate in this competition, most sects did not think much of the academy.

The academy's instruction to students is subject to time constraints.

A sect, however, is one's final destination in life, and most of them have a long history and unique characteristics.

The Dragon Slaying Sect is a sect with a history of over a thousand years. It is a traditional Soul Master sect from the Douling Empire and has a deep-rooted aversion to Soul Guidance Devices.

They mostly looked down on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for "cheating with soul tools" and didn't think they would lose at all.

Perhaps that's why they were chosen as the first to stick their necks out?
The attitudes of both sides made the match highly entertaining.

As the head referee, Jing Hongchen should have been able to stand aside and watch the game after the opening ceremony.

But he took over from the host and announced—

"The winners of the individual elimination rounds, please come to the stage."

The first to appear representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was Meng Hongchen.

She has changed quite a bit in the past five years. She has grown into a beautiful young woman with a slender figure, curvaceous body, and long, flowing hair.

This drew cheers from many people.

Having undergone the trials of the Sea God's Nine Trials and received resource support from Jing Hongchen, her soul power is actually higher than Xiao Hongchen's.

This shows how strong their competitive spirit is.

This is not just a matter of victory or defeat; it is also a matter of the Sun Moon Empire's reputation.

On the Dragon Slaying Sect's side, a young man of short stature appeared. He was short, but his hands were exceptionally large, spread out on both sides of his body like palm-leaf fans.

Beautiful Girl and the Beast, that's going to be a great watch!
