Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 146 Only one week left until the Continental Soul Master Tournament!

"By the way, teacher, when does our competition start?"

Yu Tianheng looked at his instructor and asked.

He had clearly voiced what everyone was thinking, and everyone turned to look at their instructor, waiting for his answer.

"As for the start time," the instructor pondered, "that depends on the arrival time of each academy and the time for negotiations among the three parties."

After all, this competition concerns the safety of all Soul Masters across the continent, so there's no room for carelessness. It will probably take several days to set up the venue and security.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood, but their faces betrayed their disappointment.

They are currently in high spirits, and this is the perfect time for them to hone their skills through combat.

However, due to the time constraints, their morale was clearly not as high a few days later.

Shi Guang took a deep breath. He could naturally sense the disappointment of everyone, which made him feel uneasy.

We finally managed to get these guys motivated, but then we forgot about the time to prepare for the match.

This left him somewhat helpless.

"What the heck! We can't play for several days!"

Yu Feng grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Our morale is high right now, it's the perfect time to press our advantage! Why do we have to wait until they're done?!"

"Yu Feng! You can't say things like that!"

The instructor looked at Yu Feng and patiently explained, "This competition is very important. It concerns your safety. Even I can't guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen during the battle."

Therefore, necessary official protection is essential, because there will be titled Douluo (a high-ranking military leader) to conduct effective supervision and management.

.

Yu Feng curled his lip after hearing this.

Just as his instructor had said, Yu Feng had heard his grandfather mention this matter when he was still in the family.

The All-Continent Soul Master Competition is indeed extremely dangerous.

When the competition started, the place was a mixed bag, including evil soul masters and even soul hunters, which were evil forces that made the soul master world tremble with fear.

They like to use the pretext of hunting down genius soul masters to earn high bounty fees from those who offer them.

These bounty posters are usually displayed in secret locations on the black market, and only Soul Masters with a certain level of strength can access them and accept the missions.

Without exception, those who post bounty missions must have a mortal enemy for the target of the bounty to be able to spend huge sums of money to pay the bounty.

As the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, which gathers the most talented Soul Masters on the continent, this place brings together almost all the talented Soul Masters on the continent.

Clearly, this is a perfect place to ambush and capture these bounty hunters, a place where they can gather and be rounded up in one fell swoop.

Therefore, in order to prevent and eliminate such incidents, the authorities usually arrange for several titled Douluo appointed by the three parties to supervise the process.

To prevent evil spirit masters from causing trouble and to prevent genius spirit masters from being hunted.

However, they don't care about the battles between the genius Soul Masters during the competition.

After all, competitions need to start with bloodshed; only flowers in a greenhouse are so delicate.

After explaining all this, the instructor left the restaurant.

Clearly, he won't be eating here; he'll probably choose to go out to a restaurant.

After he left, everyone present looked at each other, and no one said anything.

Looking at Ye Lengleng, who seemed hesitant to speak, Shiguang smiled and said, "Lengleng, is there anything you want to say?"

Ye Lengleng nodded, noticing that everyone's attention had shifted to her.

The girl immediately felt uncomfortable.

As a Soul Master named Nine-Heart Begonia who grew up isolated in her family, she has a somewhat melancholic personality and is very perceptive of other people's gazes.

Especially now that so many people are staring at her, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Lengleng's somewhat hesitant expression, Shiguang said, "Lengleng, just say what you want to say. We're teammates, don't be afraid."

Ye Leng Leng took a deep breath and said, "Um—I feel like I'm about to break through to the Soul Master realm—"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a hint of surprise.

You actually broke through to the Soul Master level so quickly?

As members of the family, they were well-versed in various books that recorded information about martial spirits, and they knew a great deal about many martial spirits, including hidden ones.

They knew that the Nine-Heart Begonia was a very powerful support-type martial soul, which was said to be comparable to or even no less powerful than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The effects of the Nine-Heart Begonia are much simpler than those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; it simply heals the Soul Master.

Unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which provides various bonuses to Soul Masters, the Nine Heart Begonia only has one effect regardless of how many Soul Rings it absorbs.

That is to heal the Soul Master's physical injuries.

Although it sounds unremarkable, it has an extremely terrifying effect in actual combat.

As a top-tier support-type martial soul, the Nine-Heart Begonia consumes less soul power when releasing its soul rings than other support-type martial souls, and its effects are stronger and longer-lasting.

Moreover, even the healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Ring's built-in Soul Skill is much stronger than that of ordinary support-type Martial Souls.

Unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which can amplify soul power across levels, the effect is somewhat weakened.

The Nine-Heart Begonia is different. Its effect is simple: to heal Soul Masters. As long as the Soul Power is sufficient, even a Great Soul Master's Nine-Heart Begonia can heal the injuries of a Title Douluo.

However, the effect is definitely not as good as that of the high-level Nine Heart Begonia, and the energy consumed by cross-dimensional healing is extremely large.

Normally, they rely on Ye Lengleng's assistance in battles to fight without restraint on the arena.

Because they knew that with Ye Lengleng's help, they wouldn't have to worry about their bodies suffering irreparable damage.

As he pondered, he, as a transmigrator, was well-versed in the original work and knew the flaws in Ye Lengling's martial spirit.

That is, the loss of soul power within a soul master cannot be cured.

In the original novel, after Tang San became enraged by Xiao Wu's injury and assaulted Dugu Yan's chest, Ye Lingling was unable to treat Dugu Yan.

The reason is simple: Dugu Yan's soul power is being absorbed by the Eight Spider Lances, while her body remains unharmed, so the Nine Heart Begonia cannot heal her.

With this flaw, Ye Lengleng's Nine Heart Begonia is like a chicken rib (meaning something useless).

In the early stages of Soul Master battles, it's alright, but later on, Soul Masters will use various domains or special Soul Skills, which directly target the Soul Master's inner strength.

Once they reach the Soul Emperor realm or higher, their spiritual power has already developed. However, they treat their spiritual power more as a weapon of destruction and rarely use it.

As Shi Guang pondered, Ye Leng Leng's breakthrough, though a bit too fast, was still within expectations.

After all, the other party has its own immortal herb to help them. Immortal herbs are rare and precious materials that are extremely rare in the human world. Even a pig can automatically cultivate soul power after eating them.

Ye Lingleng is clearly not a fool; as the owner of the Nine-Heart Begonia, her talent is certainly commendable.
