Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Once a fleet possesses a food-type Soul Master at the Title Douluo level, it can even be called an immortal fleet or an eternal fleet!

Therefore, the East China Sea Fleet attaches great importance to Xu Lizhi, a talented food-type Soul Master.

Compared to Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan's path was completely different. As a Soul Master, a six-ring Soul Emperor, obtaining the rank of Major wouldn't have been impossible in other military units upon joining. But that wasn't the case in the East Sea Fleet. The East Sea Fleet had strict requirements and possessed a large number of powerful individuals. Strength alone wasn't enough; sufficient combat effectiveness was also required, and the two were not equivalent. Many Soul Masters from academies found themselves unable to fully utilize their cultivation after joining the military.

Therefore, the East Sea Legion explicitly stipulates that the highest rank a pure battle spirit master can achieve upon joining the legion is captain. Thus, Ye Xinglan's rank after joining was captain.

The East Sea Legion values ​​individual combat prowess, and various competitions are held frequently within the legion. Ye Xinglan, relying on his exceptional individual strength, quickly swept through the Star Battle Network competitions in the East Sea region, winning consecutive championships and thus attracting the attention of higher authorities.

She was an exceptionally beautiful young woman, and her extraordinary combat prowess drew much more attention from the legion's higher-ups.

Not long ago, relying on her unstoppable and powerful sword intent, she managed to defeat a two-word battle armor master at the Soul Douluo level. In that battle, Ye Xinglan herself was also seriously injured, but she defeated her opponent by fighting to the death. The two-word battle armor master, who held the rank of colonel at the Soul Douluo level, actually cowered in the face of her final, fierce sword intent.

This means that Ye Xinglan is representing the East Sea Fleet in the competition. As the last remaining member of the fleet among the top sixteen in the individual competition, the fleet's leadership has promised that if she can enter the top eight, she will be promoted to colonel. If she wins the final championship, she will be promoted to senior colonel.

……

finals,

Almost all the Soul Guidance TVs started broadcasting match videos of the Star Dou Battle Network All-Federation Challenge. In front of the screen, countless people were waiting for the match to begin.

There is no age limit, only the cultivation level below the three-word battle armor is restricted. It is said that with the improvement of the Star Dou Battle Network in the future, even the most top-level soul masters will be able to participate in future competitions.

It must be said that through this challenge, Star Battle Network has successfully promoted itself to the entire Federation.

The top 16 teams are only numbered, and each team has its own odds. The public can place bets to predict the final champion.

The odds varied depending on performance in previous battles. This undoubtedly generated immense buzz, and the Federation made a fortune just from the betting aspect alone.

Number 33, odds, 1 to 4, odds ranking, second.

Gu You strode towards the competition venue.

Exclamations rose and fell around him, but perhaps due to the system settings, no one could get within three meters of him, and they naturally dispersed as he moved quickly.

"Dear contestant number 33, please follow me." Upon arriving at the competition venue, instead of being teleported in as usual, a beautiful staff member approached Gu You and gestured for him to follow.

Based on his understanding of the Star Battle Network, all the characters in the network were created by real humans who entered through Star Battle pods.

Gu You was taken to a private room, which was luxuriously and comfortably decorated.

"This is your private lounge. I will guide you to the competition venue shortly before the match begins. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

"good!"

The waitress quietly withdrew, leaving him with the comfortable room, complete with some exquisite snacks, fruits, and drinks. There was a bed and a meditation cushion nearby—very thoughtful.

Today is the first round of the finals, a sixteen-to-eight elimination tournament. Each match is a knockout round, and everyone only has one chance. As for the draw results, they will only be announced when the matches begin, so no one knows who their opponent will be.

It doesn't matter who Gu You encounters, because he's guaranteed to win.

Although this competition is supposed to be at the Federation level, Gu You has actually discovered that the vast majority of participants are military personnel. This is easy to understand, because the coverage area of ​​the Star Dou Pod is still too small, and its high cost makes it unaffordable for most people, thus making it difficult for ordinary people to participate.

Once this problem is solved, the Star Dou Battle Network will develop at breakneck speed. Technology can be accumulated over time, but popularity can be built up in a short period of time. In the near future, the Douluo Federation will likely be far beyond the reach of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. It may even perish and collapse on its own.

Not long after, a light knock sounded on the door, and the waitress came in again.

"Dear contestant number 33, your match is about to begin. To ensure fairness, this round of elimination matches will start simultaneously. Your opponent is contestant number 142."

He stood up abruptly. "Let's go," Gu You said to the waitress.

"Please." The waitress gestured for them to enter and then led the way.

There was no teleportation; this time, he followed the waitress through a long corridor and arrived directly at the competition venue. Before he even entered the venue, he could already hear a deafening roar of cheers.

"Dear contestant number 33, in order to simulate the most realistic battle scene, the audience's voices will not be muted today. Please be prepared."

The waitress stopped at the entrance to the competition venue.

Gu You nodded; for him, this had little impact.

As you enter the competition area, Gu You's opponent is also taking the stage on the opposite side.

A figure of light descended from the sky; it was an old man.

The old man said in a deep voice, "To ensure the fairness and impartiality of the final stage, in addition to the system's judgment, I will act as the referee for this match. Both sides, prepare for the match. Once I announce the start, you may attack. There are no rules restricting the outcome; the goal is to defeat your opponent."

"Ready!" The old man raised his right hand high.

Gu You stared at his opponent. If he remembered correctly, this opponent wasn't very strong, but he was troublesome.

Number 142, Martial Soul: Ghost. It possesses strong defensive capabilities against both physical and energy attacks. Its weakness lies in its vulnerability to energy attacks of the light and holy types.

……

"Contestant number 33, Purple Gold King, versus contestant number 142, Nether King, this is a match I never expected..."
