Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 106 The Emperor's Summoning

Lin Yang distributed the Jade Bone Potion, giving one bottle each to the three girls, Dugu Bo, and Ye Xuanyin, leaving him with two bottles.

Since the Jade Bone Potion is only effective the first time it is taken, Lin Yang did not intend to keep the remaining two bottles.

If there is an opportunity, trading it out will maximize profits.

As time passed, the Martial Soul Elite Tournament officially began, plunging the entire Heaven Dou City into a frenzy of nationwide celebration.

Even ordinary people can pay a small ticket fee to watch the game.

To help them get used to the competition atmosphere in advance, Qin Ming naturally recommended that the reserve team go to the venue to watch the game.

Upon arriving at the competition venue, Lin Yang glanced at the list of participants, which was basically the same as he remembered.

Five Elements Academy, Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy, Azure Radiance Academy, etc.

I don't know if they look down on the prize money for this competition, or if the new generation hasn't fully matured yet.

The quality of the participating teams this year was generally mediocre!

Of course, this is in comparison to the teams participating in the next edition.

It should be noted that the next generation will not only be the "golden generation" of the Spirit Hall, but also the golden generation of all major forces and academies.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan of the Spirit Hall not only possess Spirit Fusion Skills, but all three have also reached the Soul King level.

Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er from the Five Elements Academy: one has a mutated martial soul and innate full soul power, while the other has a top-tier ice-type beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix.

If Shrek Academy continues to compete according to its original trajectory, it will also need to add the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

That's when the competition will be even more exciting.

Although there are some Soul Masters who have reached level 40 Soul Master among the current participants, they are still a bit lacking.

Lin Yang watched two shows and then stopped going.

However, I later overheard Xiao Wu chattering about how the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had a dismal score, failing to even pass the preliminaries and getting eliminated in the first round.

Emperor Xueye's face immediately darkened.

Although the second team was just a group of privileged children going to the competition to gain prestige, they didn't even make it past the preliminaries. Was this a prestige-gaining trip or a way to embarrass themselves?

The five teams that made it out of the preliminaries are Blazing Fire, Thunder, Divine Wind, Heavenly Water, and Azure Radiance Academy.

The first four are fine; they are top-tier advanced soul master academies within the Heaven Dou system, and when they get arrogant, they don't even look down on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Canghui is a second-tier academy. Although it is not well-known, its teaching in spirit and gem martial soul systems is unique.

After encountering the Elephant Academy, they managed to stun the mammoths who only knew brute force by using large-scale illusions and mental attacks.

After the qualifiers comes the knockout stage, which is a showcase for individual potential and combat power.

In the finals, the three teams that had been guaranteed a spot also began their matches.

The lineup of Team Tiandou was also revealed to everyone: a seven-person team, consisting of four Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables, all with the best Soul Ring ratio.

The team leader with the highest soul power already has a soul power level of 44, and the support-type soul master in the team has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as his martial soul.

With the addition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the remaining two Soul Masters can be considered Soul Sect Masters with some difficulty.

The Star Luo Empire's team is also quite strong, but this time they lack the Netherworld White Tiger combination, making their overall strength slightly inferior to that of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The combined strength of the two imperial teams is already considered top-tier among all the academies.

Compared to the Spirit Hall's team, they immediately seemed inadequate.

When the members of the Spirit Hall revealed their spirit rings, the entire arena erupted in uproar.

The captain standing in the center of the team was none other than a five-ring Soul King.

The other six were equally impressive, all being four-ring Soul Masters with top-tier Soul Ring configurations.

Simply by standing there, he became the focus of everyone's attention, making the other colleges truly feel what the gap meant.

really!

Lin Yang sat in the audience, his gaze fixed on that burly figure.

This Soul King came specifically for this ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

What Lin Yang considered a useless piece of food was a rare treasure in the eyes of others.

In the following matches, apart from those with byes, no academy was a match for the Spirit Hall.

More often than not, people simply abstain.

Although the Heaven Dou team did not directly confront the Spirit Hall, their morale had clearly collapsed, and even they themselves did not feel that Heaven Dou had any hope of winning.

Just then, Meng Shenji, one of the three education committee members, suddenly approached Lin Yang.

"Chief Dreamer?"

Meng Shenji nodded at Lin Yang, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration. "Lin Yang, I've noticed your progress over the past few years. Your composure and humility are truly admirable."

"You flatter me," Lin Yang said modestly, then asked, "May I ask who you were looking for—"

Meng Shenji's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "His Majesty wishes to see you."

Snow Night Emperor?

Lin Yang's mind raced. Could it be that he came to see him at this crucial moment because of the competition?

"Lin Yang, you need to be mentally prepared."

Although it was just a seemingly random sentence, Lin Yang still understood what Meng Shenji meant. However, he didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded, "Okay."

The two then went together to the college's teaching committee building, to the same reception room.

Upon entering, Lin Yang saw an elderly man with a dignified demeanor sitting in the main seat.

Although his hair and beard were all white and he did not wear a crown, his dignified and imposing aura was undeniable.

This is the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Emperor Xueye.

Meng Shenji stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Yang has arrived."

Emperor Xueye looked at Lin Yang, sizing him up, a hint of admiration and anticipation flashing in his eyes. "You are Lin Yang?"

Lin Yang stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Student Lin Yang greets Your Majesty."

Emperor Xueye waved his hand, "No need for formalities, Lin Yang. The reason I suddenly called you here today is to see what kind of person this genius, who can be recognized and promoted by three education committee members at the same time, is."

He paused, then asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"

Lin Yang: "Your Majesty, I have just passed level forty-eight."

Level 48 —

Emperor Xueye's eyes glazed over slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Eleven years old, level 48?

As a ruler, it was a fundamental quality of him to keep his emotions in check. He suppressed his shock and spoke with undisguised admiration, "Excellent, truly a young genius."

"Your Majesty flatters me!"

Seeing Lin Yang's composure and humility, Emperor Xueye's admiration deepened. He then turned serious and got to the point, "Lin Yang, you've seen the situation of Team Tiandou in the competition. Their chances of winning the championship are very slim."

Saying the chances are slim is already an overstatement; given the current state of the team, making it into the top three would be a miracle.

Lin Yang lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

"Although you are young, your strength surpasses that of anyone in the Heavenly Dou Team," Emperor Xueye said in a deep voice. "Therefore, I want you to join this final competition."

Lin Yang looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Wasn't it said that the competition slots had already been decided?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Emperor Xueye waved his hand. "This time it's being held within our Heavenly Dou territory, so we can still manage to find a replacement candidate."

Emperor Xueye's tone turned serious. "And you don't need to feel pressured. Even if you lose, no one will blame you. We all know that the next tournament will be your home turf."

"But even if we lose, we can't let the Spirit Hall win so easily."

"if----"

The Snow Night Emperor's gaze was intense, carrying a hint of temptation. "If you can lead a team to victory in the match, that ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is yours."
