Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 73 The goal is the inner courtyard!

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master making his move.

In the Shrek Academy team, the tall young man at the head suddenly raised his head and let out a long dragon roar.

The next moment, four soul rings, three purple and one black, appeared on his body and kept circling around him!

As the spirit ring appeared, the boy's body clashed rapidly, his hands transforming into thick blue dragon claws, and blue lightning crackling around his body.

"Hiss, a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

Looking at the young man on the stage, Tang Wulin couldn't help but gasp and exclaim in surprise!

This is actually the same ten-thousand-year soul ring as Teacher Wu!

"This...this is the legendary Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul, one of the top-tier beast Martial Souls!"

As for Xie Xie, he also covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, under the shocked gazes of Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others, the other students of Shrek Academy also activated their martial souls.

Apart from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master who led the group and Ye Xinglan, who was a Great Soul Master, the other four members of Shrek Academy were all Soul Venerables.

In contrast, the Tianhai Academy team has three members who are four-ring Soul Masters and four members who are three-ring Soul Venerables.

In terms of both cultivation level and number of students, they seem to be far ahead of Shrek Academy.

After all, they have a five-year age advantage.

That's why, when looking at the Shrek Academy team members on the other side, several members of the Tianhai Academy team also had an expression that said "the advantage is in our hands".

However, the confident smiles on their faces crumbled the moment the battle began!

At the referee's command, the fourth black spirit ring on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit master, who was the leader of Shrek Academy, suddenly flashed.

In an instant, endless and intense blue lightning swept across the entire arena, as if thunder had struck from the heavens!

Amidst the lightning, the blue lightning tyrannosaurus boy seemed to have transformed into a lightning dragon, wreaking havoc.

About a minute later, the blue lightning on the arena slowly dissipated.

At this moment, all seven members of the Tianhai Academy team were seriously injured and lying on the ground, completely incapacitated.

In contrast, the six members of Shrek Academy were completely unharmed. They simply bowed calmly in acknowledgment and then turned to leave.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this battle, the Tianhai team was completely powerless to fight back; it was simply a one-sided massacre!

"Wow...what terrifying strength!"

Watching the battle on the arena, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi sighed in unison.

"Are they... really human?"

Xie Xie's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, making a "glug" sound.

At this moment, he even felt his confidence had been shattered!

"Such strong teamwork, such terrifying bursts of power! I couldn't imagine any possibility of defeating them!"

Tang Wulin also sighed softly, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Even Xu Xiaoyan, who is usually quirky and clever, fell silent at this moment.

"They are indeed very strong, but you don't need to be discouraged."

"When we reach their age, our strength will definitely crush them."

Seeing his somewhat dejected teammates around him, Zhao Tao, as the team captain, stepped forward to encourage everyone.

"That's right, what we lack is just time."

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue nodded seriously.

"Being stronger than them is nothing special, because they're just students from the outer academy!"

"Your goal is definitely not just to enter the outer academy, but to enter Shrek Academy's inner academy!"

"Of course, this goal is a bit far from yours for now. Let me first introduce your competition area assignments."

Just then, Wu Changkong walked over and added casually.

He then announced the results of the draw.

Whether it's an individual or team competition, the first round is a regional points system, lasting two days.

For example, in team competitions.

The original hundreds of participating teams were divided into eight competition zones.

Within each region, teams will be randomly selected for matchmaking, and each team will be guaranteed to participate in a total of five points-based matches.

The four teams with the most wins in each group will advance to the main tournament.

The competition proceeded in sequence, from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals, and so on, until the final championship was decided.

This stage of the competition is a single-elimination tournament, lasting five days, until a champion is determined.

The rules for individual competitions are similar.

The only difference is that there are more participants in each group in the individual competition.

To ensure relative fairness, each Soul Master needs to participate in ten points-based matches.

After introducing the competition rules and the group assignments for the Class Zero students in the team and individual competitions, Wu Changkong left.

Zhao Tao, on the other hand, began to study the schedules of various competitions.

Because he will be participating in the blacksmith competition, team competition, and individual competition at the same time, he is destined to be very busy in the days leading up to the competition.

Fortunately, the organizers of the Tianhai Alliance Tournament took this into account, so the various competitions were basically held in alternating fashion.

For example, all individual competitions are held in the morning, while team competitions are held in the afternoon.

As for the first two rounds of the blacksmith competition, they were scheduled for the mornings of the first two days to avoid affecting the contestants' participation in the individual competition that started at eight o'clock.

The most time-consuming final was scheduled for the evening of the third day, so as not to interfere with the students' participation.

After understanding the competition rules and schedule, Zhao Tao returned to the hotel and began training to prepare for the upcoming battles.

Before they knew it, it was the next morning.

Zhao Tao got up early and went to the Blacksmith Competition with Tang Wulin.

This round of the competition is a selection process, and the rules are very simple: complete the purification of blue copper. Each person has three chances.

If any one of the three purified metals meets the required precision, the contestant can advance to the second round of the competition.

With Zhao Tao's exceptional skill, he can easily handle the small amount of progesterone.

In fact, without even realizing it, Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin both broke the fastest record for the Tianhai Alliance's junior group in the Hundred-Refining Challenge.

After finishing the forging competition, Zhao Tao jogged back to the hotel, had breakfast with Gu Yue who had just woken up, and then headed to the venue for the individual competition.

Throughout the morning, Zhao Tao and Gu Yue were scheduled for five individual matches, meaning they had to compete in a Soul Battle almost every hour.

This would be an immense pressure for an ordinary Soul Master, but fortunately, Zhao Tao and Gu Yue are not ordinary Soul Masters.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhao Tao and Gu Yue finally faced their first battles.

After hearing his number called, Zhao Tao also arrived at the competition venue.

This is a circular arena with a diameter of about thirty meters, surrounded by a soul-guided protective shield.

Standing opposite Zhao Tao was a small, thin boy.

After the rules of the competition were announced, Zhao Tao and the boy opposite him simultaneously revealed their martial spirits.

The boy's martial spirit was a gray spear with a sharp tip that emitted a faint cold light.

This is his martial spirit—the Soul-Breaking Spear.

Looking at the two purple soul rings on Zhao Tao's body...

The boy's expression instantly turned somewhat flustered.

Clearly, his combat experience is insufficient.

And then the referee gave the whistle.

"Time Buries the Sword!"

Zhao Tao took a quick step, urging himself forward, and charged directly in front of the young man.

At this moment, he had just woken up from his shock and was about to fight back when Zhao Tao pressed a sword against his neck.

The next moment, the boy was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face turning pale.

"Stop! Contestant Zhao Tao has scored one point!"

Seeing this, the referee made a quick decision and announced the result of the match.

Thus, the first battle was won.
