Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Dual Transmigration into the Peerless Dragon King

Chapter 352 Elite Competition of Advanced Youth Soul Masters

This exchange activity between Douluo Continent and Star Luo Continent is unprecedented in scale. The delegation sent by the Federation covers various fields such as military and political affairs, diplomacy, soul masters, soul guidance technology, culture and education.

After yesterday's grand and lengthy collective reception by the Star Luo royal family, the Federation delegation, following the pre-planned itinerary, split into several smaller groups to coordinate exchange activities related to their respective fields.

However, behemoths like the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect, which span three continents, are naturally not within the scope of such regular exchanges, since the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect already have branches on the Star Luo Continent.

For this reason, both the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect only sent a few young juniors this time, treating it as a publicly funded trip to broaden their horizons, without arranging any substantial exchange missions.

Although Huo Yuhao refused to participate in the Star Luo Youth Soul Master Competition, it didn't mean he didn't want to watch the competition.

While cultivation is important, one should not lock oneself in the laboratory or meditation room all day long and work hard. A balance between work and rest is the way to long-term success.

The youth competition that Sima Lanxiao mentioned is officially called the "Star Luo Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition," which is one of the largest and most influential events in the Star Luo Empire. The competition venue is the Star Luo Stadium.

The third day after the federal delegation arrived in Xingluo City was the day the competition officially began.

Early in the morning, the streets around Xingluo Stadium were packed with spectators from all directions. The stadium's 300,000 seats were full, and cheers and shouts resounded through the sky.

Fortunately, the organizers of the competition arranged a VIP passage for the Federation inspection team, which allowed Huo Yuhao and his group to avoid the terrifying crowds and successfully board their exclusive box with the best view in the middle of the venue.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the private room, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but exclaim, "What an exhilarating place!"

Apart from the Tianhai Alliance Tournament a few years ago, they haven't really participated in any decent large-scale competitions.

If Shrek Academy hadn't had that accident, at their age, they would have been able to participate in the Federation's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, a competition that has been running for 20,000 years.

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy no longer exists, so they no longer have the chance to participate.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue sat on a sofa not far behind them. Above them hung a huge soul-guided broadcast screen. Once the match officially started, every detail of the arena below would be displayed on this screen in real time.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze from the three people in front of him, then casually glanced to his right.

Three other people were sitting on the other side of the private room; they were the three students sent by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for this exchange.

Although Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue declined Sima Lanxiao's invitation to participate in the competition, the people from Tang Sect and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy did not.

Therefore, apart from him and Gu Yue, all six other people in this VIP box will participate in the competition.

Of the six, Long Chen, Xue Liushuang, Weng Daimin, and Tang Wulin from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are all Soul Kings, while Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan are Advanced Soul Masters, not far from becoming Soul Kings.

Because they didn't have enough people, they couldn't put together a standard seven-person team and therefore couldn't participate in the seven-person team competition.

Fortunately, the Soul Master culture on the Star Luo Continent has always revered individual heroism, and its interest in teamwork is far less than its fervent worship of individual strength.

Therefore, the individual competition is the most important part of this tournament, and the most valuable prize, the Soul Bone, is reserved specifically for the individual competition champion.

In the end, Tang Wulin and Long Chen signed up for the individual competition, while Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Xue Liushuang, and Weng Daimin each formed a team to participate in the doubles team competition.

There were a large number of participants, but whether it was a deliberate arrangement by the Star Luo Empire or not, these participants from the Douluo Federation were all scheduled to take the stage shortly after the start of the competition.

The morning flew by, and all six contestants finished their matches successfully, with each winning without exception.

Xue Liushuang and Weng Daimin, who had just finished their match, entered the private room one after the other. Xue Liushuang, who entered first, was tall and had beautiful features, but she exuded a cold and aloof temperament. Her face was so calm that it was as if she had never participated in the match at all.

Then came Weng Daimin, who was much petite, with short, playful blue hair, and looked delicate and frail.

But her face was beaming with the joy of her recent victory, and as soon as she entered, she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "The Star Luo Empire's contestants aren't that strong, are they? Sister Liushuang, I think we have a chance to compete for the championship this time!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately curled his lip and couldn't help but say, "If you want to win the championship, you'll have to get past us first."

Weng Daimin turned her head and glanced at Xie Xie, then whispered, "You two are both Soul Masters, but Sister Liushuang and I are Soul Kings."

Xie Xie stood up, unconvinced, and said, "What's wrong with the Soul Sect? Haven't you heard of fighting someone of a higher level?"

Clearly, although none of them were willing to concede to the other, none of them took the local players of the Star Luo Empire seriously.

Long Chen glanced at the two sides bickering and said, "It's good to have confidence, but since the Star Luo Empire dared to invite us to participate, they can't possibly let us outsiders make a name for ourselves in Star Luo."

Xie Xie glanced at Long Chen, his tone becoming more serious: "It seems there are still some sensible people. Since the Star Luo Empire dares to invite the Federation to participate in the competition in such a grand manner, it must have its own trump cards. Who would do something like this, doing the work for someone else, if they didn't have some real skills?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Tang Wulin and Long Chen, before continuing, "I've heard that the Star Luo Empire has a Monster Academy, modeled after Shrek Academy, whose motto is to only accept monsters and not ordinary people."

"There are some kind of Eight Heavenly Kings in this monster academy, and they are said to be quite powerful."

"So you two shouldn't be too careless in the individual competition. The strongest among these eight Heavenly Kings are definitely aiming for the individual championship."

Although Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have a long-standing feud, their open and covert struggles have never truly ceased over tens of thousands of years.

But now, facing the common "external enemy" of the Star Luo Continent, these young people from the Douluo Federation decisively put aside their internal conflicts and united against the common enemy.

Upon hearing this, Long Chen's expression became much more serious, and a solemn light flashed in his cold eyes.

As the strongest genius of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy, his goal in this competition is naturally to win the individual championship.

No matter whether his opponent is one of the Eight Heavenly Kings or the Nine Heavenly Kings, he will not back down even a step.

Tang Wulin turned to look at Huo Yuhao sitting on the sofa and couldn't help but grin, "It's only because you, Yuhao, didn't participate that this championship could have been won by no one."

Long Chen, standing to the side, also subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao. He had previously been unconvinced by this legendary figure who had firmly held the top spot on the Federation's list of young geniuses since the day he appeared on it.

After all, Huo Yuhao has hardly ever made a move in public since joining Shrek Academy, so outsiders naturally have no way of judging his strength.

Therefore, during the two months on the cruise ship, Long Chen, due to his youthful arrogance, challenged Huo Yuhao more than once.

Finally, Huo Yuhao grew impatient and agreed to fight him.

However, it can't really be called a battle, since the two didn't actually fight each other.

Because Huo Yuhao merely raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, Long Chen's vision went black, and he collapsed straight down.

After waking up, he lay on the bed in the infirmary, staring blankly at the ceiling for a full hour, racking his brains but still unable to figure out how he had fainted.

But one thing he was absolutely certain of was that he was far from being Huo Yuhao's match.

After that incident, he was truly convinced of Huo Yuhao's abilities.

Therefore, he felt that Tang Wulin's words were perfectly reasonable from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao just smiled and didn't say anything, but he was starting to take a liking to the eight Heavenly Kings of this Monster Academy.
