Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

Chapter 74 Soul Master Competition

It was still early morning, with the dew still wet, and the members of the Liuli Squad had already assembled. They were all dressed in the same Liuli Academy uniform, looking at Ning Mumu with high spirits.

The students in the academy had no objection to Zhao Cheng and his group's strength, but Ning Luoluo and Shi Yu lacked the students' respect. After repeated confrontations, the two finally gained the students' unanimous approval.

Meanwhile, a new member joined the team—Dugu Yan. Since Dugu Bo joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dugu Yan left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and joined the Glazed Tile Academy.

Freed from the constraints of snake venom, and aided by elixirs and her own hard work, Dugu Yan reached level 46 before the competition began, making her an outstanding team member.

"The Soul Master Competition is about to begin. As a member of the Liuli Team, I hope everyone will give their best and bring honor and glory to Liuli Academy."

"This time, our goal is—"

"champion!"

Everyone answered in unison, with utmost seriousness. This year's team, in terms of both spirit ring configuration and spirit power level, was at a level rarely seen in previous years. Everyone was full of confidence in winning the championship.

The main venue for the competition was not close to Liuli Academy, and when the team arrived, the stands were already full. From a distance, it was a sea of ​​heads, a dense, dark mass.

Every team that arrives at the venue feels the enthusiasm of the audience, whose shouts rise in waves and can be heard even from a distance.

The team members were also experiencing such a grand event for the first time, and they were all laughing happily, waving their hands non-stop.

Zhao Cheng, in particular, longed for a beautiful woman to notice him and start a relationship with him! Ever since he entered the venue, he'd been like a monkey on Mount Emei—jumping around everywhere. If Ning Mumu hadn't told him not to embarrass himself, he probably would have already gone to catch the flowers thrown down by the beautiful women.

Lin Feng was actually a bit socially awkward, and he held onto Su Qianqian's hand tightly without letting go. Su Qianqian looked helpless but didn't let go of him either. Ning Mumu and Ning Luoluo walked on either side of Ning Mumu like two bodyguards, their expressions serious.

Shi Yu had somehow gotten a black mask and was wearing it. He walked very upright, but his legs were not so calm and were trembling a little.

Team leader Ning Mumu walked ahead with ease, looking relaxed, as if she were strolling through the streets.

"Ahhhh, is this the Glass Academy? The boys are so handsome, and the girls are so beautiful! Ahhhhhh!"

"Who's that guy in the black mask? He's so handsome, I want to marry him!"

"Oh my god, who is that shortest girl? Is that cute little girl a contestant? She's so young!"

"Oh my god, why aren't you looking at their captain?! Hey, he's so cool! Hey, I'm killing you! Hey, I'm willing to be your dog! Ahhhhhh—"

"Let's not talk about that. Don't you guys think their clothes are really nice? I think they're so beautiful!"

……

The screams filled the venue; everyone had high expectations for the students from Liuli Academy. The comments were mostly praise, considering that Liuli Academy was the runner-up last year, and they were expected to be a finalist this year.

Hearing the cheers from the audience, everyone felt a little embarrassed. After all, some of the things the audience said could be censored.

Ning Mumu couldn't suppress the smile on her face, secretly pleased. Their Liuli Academy was really amazing; even their clothes were so high-class.

The girls were all dressed in matching blue dresses and animal-hide boots, a look that was both stylish and understated, yet sophisticated. The boys wore identical outfits: long shirts and trousers. The clothing for both genders was also adjusted according to their martial soul attributes to ensure it didn't hinder their abilities. Furthermore, all of these clothes had been modified by Ning Mumu, making them difficult to damage from ordinary attacks.

More than thirty teams entered the arena in turn, creating a strong atmosphere for the competition. However, Shrek Academy, following behind Liuli Academy, didn't have it so easy. Their garish green outfits were too eye-catching, especially with Liuli Academy right in front of them; in comparison, they looked like clowns.

Ning Mumu activated her divine sense, and the scene behind her played like a live broadcast. Looking at Shrek Academy now, Ning Mumu seemed lost in thought—of the seven monsters from the book, only Tang San and Xiao Wu remained; Oscar and Ma Hongjun were nowhere to be found. Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't gone to Shrek Academy, and as for Dai Mubai, his whereabouts were unknown.

As for the other contestants, Ning Mumu couldn't recognize any of them. In fact, she had sent people to investigate, but they only obtained some insignificant information. Later, Ning Mumu stopped investigating. She didn't care about the newly joined contestants either; with only thirty or forty levels of soul power, they were really not worth mentioning.

Seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu's terrifying level forty-plus soul power, and the demonic energy surrounding them, Ning Mumu almost burst out laughing. To actually succumb to demonic possession for power—the original male and female leads are truly an eye-opener.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Ning Mumu felt no sense of crisis regarding the two whose strength had greatly increased. Relying on absorbing the soul power of others to advance was a method inherently unacceptable to the world and would inevitably be punished by Heaven sooner or later.

"The team entering now is from Liuli Academy. Liuli Academy has only been established for nine years, yet they achieved a remarkable runner-up finish in the last competition, which is truly surprising. This year, they have eight players participating, and their motto is: 'We'll only take the championship, not second place! Liuli Academy will win!'"

"That sounds very ambitious, and of course, they have the ability to compete for the championship. Let's look forward to their exciting performance on the field!"

After the emcee finished the introduction, the audience reacted even louder. Who wouldn't like a team that's both strong and knows its own strength? Besides, Liuli Academy is already a shining star. You know, in the past few Soul Master Tournaments, the Spirit Hall has won the championship, the Star Luo Empire has been the runner-up, and their Heaven Dou Empire has come in third.

After being third place so many times, the sudden emergence of Liuli Academy, taking second place on their first try, how could they not be excited? The audience couldn't wait for Liuli Academy to win the championship and shock the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire.
