Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 14 begins

After separating from the Tiandou team, the atmosphere in the team finally became a bit more lively.

Being around peers who are more outstanding than myself is just too much pressure.

Sure enough, as soon as they separated, Wen Tingyu stepped forward and moved close to Luo Yun.

"Captain, what's your fourth soul skill? Let us see it!"

Upon hearing this, the others also stopped and looked at Luo Yun. Naturally, he wouldn't hide it from his teammates and superiors; they would find out sooner or later.

"Martial Soul Possession, Fourth Soul Skill, Starlight Protection."

Luo Yun's body surface seemed to be covered with a thin layer of starlight.

The dean had Xiong Lie try out his first soul skill, Flame Spray, but it didn't harm Luo Yun in the slightest.

"My fourth soul skill is called Starlight Protection, which can greatly increase my speed and defense."

My third soul skill has also been strengthened, and it has gained resistance to some special status effects.

Everyone was showering praise on him like it was free; the effect of this fourth soul skill was just too good.

Although she didn't know what kind of soul skill Wu Xing had obtained, most of them couldn't compare to this. Xu Mingxi was also very happy for Brother Yun.

"Mingxi, try using your first soul skill."

As starlight fell, Luo Yun felt his speed increase, and his second and fourth spirit rings lit up simultaneously, his figure constantly flashing and leaping among the trees.

Even Coach Yan Feng was shocked by Luo Yun's speed; he was almost catching up with Yan Feng, the agility-type Soul King.

Yun Ni, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. How could a speed-type Soul Master like her be slower than a power-type Soul Master?

She could only console herself with the difference in soul power, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to eat.

Wen Tingyu also demonstrated her fourth soul skill, Diamond Armor, which can cover the body with a layer of armor, greatly enhancing defense.

Currently, in the Canghui Academy team, apart from Luo Yun and Wen Tingyu, the highest soul power is held by Xu Mingxi and Ye Zhi Qiu at level 36, while the other four are all at level 35.

With the Soul Master Competition starting, there are less than six months left, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to reach level 40.

Everyone returned to the academy and continued to adjust their state. Canghui Academy also increased its resource supply, determined to further improve the students' strength.

In this Soul Master Competition, Canghui Academy finally produced two Soul Grandmasters and wanted to experience the taste of fame on the continent.

No miracle occurred. In the four or five months that followed, even with the academy's resources, each person only advanced one level on average.

As the team leader, Luo Yun was still only level 41, with no improvement in his soul power.

The Soul Master Competition is divided into three parts: regional preliminary rounds, qualifying rounds, and the finals.

Although Canghui Academy is adjacent to the Star Luo Kingdom, it is still directly under the Heaven Dou Empire, and the preliminary rounds are held in the Heaven Dou City division.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Dean Wen brought two reserve team members to meet with everyone.

Both are level 31 Soul Masters; one is a boy with the Martial Soul Fire Wolf, and the other is a girl with the Martial Soul Pure Spirit Bird.

Knowing they weren't familiar with the team, they sat quietly to the side.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Lingling, this social terrorist, who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Soon, everyone got used to their presence.

The Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and Dean Wen has given everyone countless reminders and instructions, explaining the competition rules countless times.

"Dean, please stop talking. It's time to get going, or we'll be late."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Let's go."

Xu Mingxi sat in the luxurious carriage, lifted the curtain, looked out at the open fields, and was filled with anticipation for the upcoming Soul Master Competition.

Within a few days, Xu Mingxi felt that her expectations had been fulfilled.

Having grown up in the mountains, and later in remote small towns, even though I had been to the Star Luo Capital, it was nothing compared to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Capital.

Compared to the glitz and glamour of his previous life, the construction of the capital city of Tiandou gave Xu Mingxi a feeling of overwhelming grandeur.

Xu Mingxi at least had seen the world in her previous life, while the others were even worse, like country bumpkins visiting the city, touching and looking around.

"Alright, kids, let's go rest first, and you can explore more tonight."

Tian Dou City prepared a rest area for all participating teams. Dean Wen led everyone to the hotel and put down their luggage with ease.

The nine-person team dispersed, leaving the hotel in twos and threes, as they wanted to explore Tiandou City thoroughly.

Xu Mingxi and Luo Yun were together; it was their first time visiting Tiandou City, and they randomly chose a direction.

As night fell, the lights of Tiandou City twinkled, and pedestrians and vendors came and went in an endless stream.

With the Soul Master Competition about to begin, the city was bustling with people from all over the country. Xu Mingxi still had a lot of gold soul coins left in her storage soul tool, and she was determined to splurge today.

"Brother Yun, there are so many delicious foods in Tiandou City!"

"Yes, yes, it's delicious."

Xu Mingxi, who doesn't have many hobbies but loves to eat, is holding a ten-year-old grilled squid in her left hand and a century-old pink pork rib in her right.

We ate with great relish, our mouths were greasy, and although we didn't know if the restaurant was making false claims, as long as it tasted good, that was all that mattered.

Although Luo Yun had eaten a lot of good food since childhood, with the king and queen in charge, she had never actually eaten anything from these street stalls. Now, her eating manners were no better than Xu Mingxi's.

"Gentlemen, the food in my Heavenly Dou City is delicious!"

Hey, that voice sounds familiar. The two turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

"Ye Chenxing, what are you doing here?"

"My home is in Tiandou City, so how come I'm here?"

Xu Mingxi then noticed that there was a middle-aged man with graying temples standing next to Ye Chenxing.

Seeing their confusion, Ye Chenxing took the initiative to explain.

"This is my father, Ye Renxin."

"So it's Senior Ye Renxin. Junior Luo Yun/Xu Mingxi greets Senior."

"Okay, okay, seeing you kids makes me feel so much younger."

Ye Renxin had also heard her son mention Xu Mingxi and had some impression of him.

"You're here in Heaven Dou City to participate in the Soul Master Competition, right? You're welcome to visit my Ye residence sometime."

Xu Mingxi and the other person quickly agreed. Ye Renxin is now a well-known doctor in mainland China.

Once he obtains his eighth spirit ring, his healing abilities will be unmatched.

Building a good relationship with a skilled doctor is always beneficial, and both of them naturally understood this principle.

While the students from Canghui Academy were still strolling around the city, their information had already been placed on the tables of various academies.

Although Canghui Academy is not particularly strong, it is not bad either. In previous years, its performance has almost always placed it in the second tier below the five major elemental academies.

Even the class with the best results, Dean Wen's class, almost made it to the qualifying rounds.

Such a team would naturally attract the attention of various academies, not to mention that they also have two Soul Masters this year.

However, their information was also put on the table at Canghui Academy.

Dean Wen's smile from yesterday has vanished, replaced by a very unpleasant expression.

He gathered everyone in a room and distributed a document to each person.

"We've had our fun yesterday, it's time to get back to normal today. Here's your opponents' information, take a look."

Seeing the dean's grim expression, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Could it be that this opponent was terrifying?

Xu Mingxi turned to the first page, where the team information of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was prominently displayed.

Six Soul Masters? Xue Xiang and Shi Lin have also become Soul Masters?

Xu Mingxi ignored the other teams and went straight to the opponent in the first match.

Othello Academy, Captain Gu Ling, Level 44 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul Lion Tiger.

This is not the time when the Douluo Continent was brimming with fortune and geniuses emerged in Tang San's generation.

Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and even Hu Yanli, each of them has the potential to become a Title Douluo.

In previous years, apart from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Five Elemental Academies, any other academy that could produce even one Soul Master was considered exceptionally outstanding.

Unexpectedly, this year, even the little-known Othello Academy produced a Soul Master.

"Could my arrival have also caused a surge of geniuses?"

Xu Mingxi couldn't help but wonder if she was the one who had caused this situation.

So many potential Soul Douluos and Title Douluos, why didn't any of them appear in the original work?

It's impossible that the Spirit Hall killed all of these people later.
