Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

And most importantly, he was the champion of the previous competition! Almost everyone in the Star Luo Continent believed that he was the only one who would win this time.

Long Yue did not disappoint, displaying terrifying strength that inspired awe. He faced an elemental-type four-ring Soul Master, whose opponent even possessed several pieces of battle armor.

He didn't even release his martial spirit; he simply calmly let his opponent attack first, and ultimately endured the opponent's entire combo without sustaining any damage.

The Soul Master also realized the immense gap between himself and Long Yue, and sincerely bowed in defeat.

In an instant, thunderous applause erupted. Although Long Yue didn't make a move, the audience thoroughly enjoyed the match.

This is a true powerhouse! A real powerhouse. In an instant, the entire stands were filled with shouts of Long Yue's name.

Long Yue waved towards the stands, then turned and walked off the stage.

"A defensive-type battle spirit master," Xue Liushuang said in a deep voice from the waiting area.

The big screen was mainly broadcasting Long Yue's match; they couldn't help but watch it.

Long Yue's opponent is definitely not weak. A Soul Master with battle armor parts can definitely compete with a Soul King without battle armor.

However, Long Yue did not even release his martial spirit, and simply blocked the opponent's attack.

Zui Hongchen nodded. "Yes, defensive type. If it weren't a defensive type, he couldn't have done it. His soul power cultivation should be more than five rings, very likely six!"

In Zui Hongchen's opinion, to achieve the level Long Yue just reached, he would need to be at least a defensive-type Soul Master, and his cultivation level would be one or even two levels higher than his opponent's.

Even Zui Hongchen is starting to worry. A Soul Emperor means that Long Yue might still be a two-word Battle Armor Master.

As someone hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius, Long Yue's martial soul could not possibly be simple. After all, to some extent, a soul master's cultivation speed is directly proportional to the strength of their martial soul.

Lufa didn't say much; in the end, strength would speak for itself.

The individual competition was still ongoing, but Long Yue's appearance had already brought the atmosphere of today's competition to a climax. The entire competition venue was a sea of ​​excitement.

The students from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy participated in the competition one after another. After all, it was only the initial preliminary round, and apart from Lu Fa, the opponents they were matched with were not particularly strong.

And Lufa's match has finally arrived. This will be his first time facing off against the students of Monster Academy.

In another waiting area opposite the competition venue.

"Lantang, don't be careless. Your opponent today is also from the Federation, and he comes from a top academy in the Sun and Moon Federation," the Fourth Prince Dai Yueyan said to Hua Lantang.

Just now, Su Mu, the Fox King of Monster Academy, faced off against Tang Wulin of Shrek Academy. Due to carelessness, he failed to unleash his battle armor in time, resulting in his defeat by Tang Wulin.

Although Su Mu explained that he did not release his battle armor because he did not want to take advantage of Tang Wulin, which saved them some face, a loss is a loss.

Shrek Academy represents neutrality, and because they oppose the Federation's war, the Star Luo Empire's official attitude towards them is very tolerant, and there are even signs of goodwill.

However, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is different. They are an academy that receives key resources from the Federation, and from this point of view, they can be said to represent the attitude of the Sun Moon Federation.

They could be said to be exchanging ideas and learning from each other with the people from Shrek Academy.

However, the battle against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can, in a sense, be seen as a clash between the younger generation of the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Federation. Losing on home turf would carry a completely different meaning.

As the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire and the future heir apparent, Dai Yueyan had a very clear understanding of this matter.

"Don't worry, I'm different from Su Mu, I won't underestimate my opponent."

Hua Lantang was an ordinary-looking young man of average build. If it weren't for his Monster Academy uniform, he would be hard to spot in a crowd.

His expression was calm at the moment, and it was unclear whether he had taken Dai Yueyan's words to heart.

……

Lu Fa calmly walked onto the arena. To him, a One-Word Battle Armor Master was no match for him. The Body Sect's secret techniques weren't practiced by Tang Wulin alone; he practiced them as well.

Furthermore, he was practicing the Body Sect's secret technique, the Innate Secret Method. Due to his abundant blood and qi, his progress in cultivating the Body Sect's Innate Secret Method was incredibly rapid.

In his view, this competition was more of a game of make-believe. Of all the participants, the only one who could rival him was probably Fors. He didn't really care about the others, not even Long Yue.

As he stepped onto the stage, his opponent also entered the ring. The moment Hua Lantang saw Lu Fa, his gaze became focused.

This opponent is very strong! Even though Lu Fa didn't do anything, Hua Lantang had a feeling this opponent was terrifying. If he wasn't serious, he would lose!

The referee walked to the center of the playing platform. Since the rules had already been explained in the first round, he didn't even bother to repeat them this time, simply raising his right hand. "Ready for the match. Three, two, one, begin!"

When he shouted the word "begin," there was a clear hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at Lu Fa.

Yes! Whoever it is, shouldn't they all deserve pity if they encounter someone from Monster Academy in the early rounds?

As soon as the match began, Hua Lantang rushed out.

As Hua Lantang charged forward, his body underwent changes, with four purple and one black spirit rings rising from his feet, indicating that he possessed ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

His body transformed rapidly as he charged forward. His originally ordinary physique instantly became powerful, his head took on a wolf-like shape, and his mouth revealed sharp, white fangs. However, instead of hair, purple scales sprouted from his body.

These scales, presented in a strange oval shape, covered his entire body, filling his already swollen body, which was over two meters tall, with a powerful sense of strength.

A pair of sharp claws protruded, and its speed suddenly increased dramatically.

This is his martial spirit: Dragon Wolf!

The Dragon-Wolf is a powerful race that combines the characteristics of both dragons and wolves. Legend has it that a dragon, by nature inherently lustful, mated with a Howling Moon Wolf King, thus giving birth to the Dragon-Wolf species.

This kind of martial spirit, passed down through a single lineage, is unique to the Star Luo Continent. Back then, Hua Lantang's ancestors were among the rulers of the original inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent.

He's not just a power-attack type, but also an agility-attack type. His Dragon Wolf Martial Soul, with its speed fully unleashed, is absolutely comparable to any agility-attack type Martial Soul available today.

Faced with Hua Lantang's charge, Lu Fa remained unmoved, just like Long Yue had been earlier, standing still and calmly watching him.

To the people of the Star Luo Empire, it seemed as if Lu Fa was stunned and stood frozen in place when faced with Hua Lantang's charge.

"How will you deal with this?" In the waiting area, the Shrek Academy students were also staring intently at the Soul Guidance Screen. Their feelings towards Lu Fa, who had once shattered Shrek Academy's undefeated myth, were extremely complicated.

On one hand, they were dissatisfied with Lu Fa because he had made Shrek Academy lose face, but on the other hand, Lu Fa belonged to the Douluo Federation, and they certainly did not want him to lose like this.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the Douluo Federation that loses face, but also Shrek Academy, which was defeated by Lu Fa, since they were both once defeated by each other.

Tang Wulin stared intently at the screen. Although Hua Lantang was a Soul King, he didn't believe that Hua Lantang could defeat Lu Fa. He estimated that Hua Lantang couldn't even beat Lu Fa from a year ago.

What he cared about was simply how Lu Fa would defeat Hua Lantang. After all, he had also participated in the one-on-one match and might face Lu Fa in the future. It wouldn't hurt to observe the opponent's abilities more closely.

As Hua Lantang approached within five meters of Lu Fa, his speed suddenly increased dramatically, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. He arrived in front of Lu Fa almost instantly, and his wolf claws lashed out like lightning.

Lufa simply looked at him calmly.

As Hua Lantang's claws approached Lu Fa's face, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he quickly turned into a blur, retreating backward.

Thirty meters ahead of Lu Fa, Hua Lantang's figure reappeared. At this moment, his face was full of lingering fear. He even reached out and touched his neck to make sure there wasn't a single scratch before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What... what's going on? Why is Hua Lantang retreating?"

The onlookers immediately erupted in disbelief.
