Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 131 Weakening the opponent is equivalent to enhancing oneself

It's important to know that in the original story, the final of this Soul Master Competition was not originally scheduled to be held in Wuhun City, but was changed by the Wuhun Hall at the last minute.

The main reason for changing the location of the finals was that Bibi Dong planned to reward Hu Liena and the other two with soul bones, but this was opposed by the Elders' Hall. Afterwards, the two sides compromised, and the three soul bones were given as a reward to the winning team of the Soul Master Competition.

Bibi Dong was able to be so confident because, according to the intelligence gathered by the Spirit Hall, there wasn't a single five-ring Soul King in this year's Soul Master Competition, apart from the Spirit Hall team.

On the other hand, their own Spirit Hall team not only has three five-ring Soul Kings, but Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the brother and sister duo, can also unleash the Spirit Fusion Skill: Enchantress. With such trump cards in hand, the championship is definitely in the bag.

Setting the finals in Wuhun City and offering three soul bones as a prize for the champion undoubtedly demonstrates the strength of the Wuhun Hall and can be considered the last wave of publicity before the Wuhun Hall launches its war to unify the continent.

However, the current situation is different from the original story. Leaving aside the other academy teams, the Blazing Fire team has three Soul Kings, the Skywater team has two Soul Kings, and the Divine Wind team has one Soul King. The Spirit Hall team is not without the possibility of being defeated.

Does the Spirit Hall team have a Spirit Fusion Technique as a trump card?

Ha~, who can guarantee that the Blazing Fire Team and the Skywater Team don't have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

Apart from the Netherworld White Tiger, the probability of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill appearing is very low.

However, this probability is very low. This is from the perspective of the entire Soul Master world. The participants from Blazing Fire Academy and Heavenly Water Academy are not ordinary Soul Masters, but the elite of the younger generation of the Soul Master world. Their probability of possessing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is much higher than that of ordinary Soul Masters.

Soul bones are quite valuable, especially the head soul bone formed from 60,000 years of spiritual energy. Given the risks involved, the Spirit Hall might not be willing to part with it.

If the Spirit Hall doesn't offer three soul bones as a reward, then there's no need to temporarily change the final venue to Spirit City.

If the finals are not held in Wuhun City, then no matter where it is held, there will definitely be fewer powerful spectators than in the original story.

At the very least, Bibi Dong, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, is unlikely to personally come to watch the match; at most, she would send elders like Ju and Gui to lead the team.

There were fewer strong spectators during the finals, and apart from Tang Hao who was hiding in the shadows and Chen Xin who was mostly present, no other heavyweight powerhouses came. With this special method of concealing her aura, Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast in human form might not be exposed.

Similarly, if the finals are not held in Wuhun City, even if Tang San reveals his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, the people from the Wuhun Hall present will not dare to attack or kill him.

Tang San's first spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and his second spirit is Clear Sky Hammer. Every elder of the Spirit Hall should know who Tang San's parents are.

The former Pope Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao. The elders of the Spirit Hall must have been aware of the general cause and effect of this incident.

With the renowned Haotian Douluo Tang Hao standing behind Tang San, unless one's side has a large number of people, many elders present, or a respected elder to back them up, ordinary Spirit Hall elders would not dare to make a fuss, otherwise they would only be throwing their lives away.

"Fewer setbacks are better; ideally, Tang San could remain an ordinary person with full innate soul power."

Mu Yang thought to himself.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, suffering is always just suffering, and setbacks are always just setbacks; they are pains that they can never forget in their lifetime.

But geniuses are different. As long as they don't die, hardship and setbacks often only become the driving force for them to become stronger.

With good fortune bestowed upon him, Tang San, who had acquired the protagonist's template, was even more so.

If Tang San's cultivation had continued in a plain and uneventful manner, his growth rate would definitely have been slower than if he had experienced hardships and setbacks.

Like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you fall behind. In Mu Yang's view, attacking and weakening potential opponents in all aspects is also equivalent to improving himself.

When Tang San's fists are strong enough, before he has fully grown up, as long as he can defeat Tang Hao, who is still heavily injured, then Tang Buddha can take his leave.

Amid cheers, Mu Yang and his group squeezed into the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Despite being unfamiliar faces with no reputation, the influence of the team uniforms representing their respective academies was no less than that of famous celebrities in Mu Yang's previous life.

And this is just the beginning. If he can have a great performance on the field, gaining fans will be easy.

In other words, since there is no internet in Douluo Continent, only a small number of people can watch the competition in person. Otherwise, after the Soul Master Competition ends, the winning team will immediately become a top-tier team across the entire continent.

Most importantly, worship based on one's own strength is unlikely to collapse unless one commits an act that is universally condemned, such as falling into the trap of becoming an evil spirit master.

Even if they are defeated by a stronger opponent, loyal fans will comfort themselves: it's not that my brother/sister is not strong enough, but that the enemy who has no martial ethics is too strong!

Upon entering the Grand Arena, the three teams went straight to the rest area provided specifically for the participating academy teams in the main arena.

The rest area is very spacious, with over a thousand seats, divided into several sections for the various Soul Master Academy teams to rest and wait.

The arrival of the three teams immediately became the focus of attention, and the previously noisy rest area fell silent almost instantly.

The participating teams from various colleges who arrived earlier all cast solemn glances at them.

Meanwhile, the teachers from various colleges who led their teams to participate in the competition looked on with curiosity.

Since they've come to participate in the Soul Master Competition, they must be hoping that their own academy can achieve good results.

Looking back at previous Soul Master Tournaments, among the 28 participating teams in the Tiandou Division preliminary rounds, apart from the Elephant Armor Academy team which occasionally fell behind due to its obvious weaknesses, the Thunder, Divine Wind, Blazing Fire, and Heavenly Water Academy teams secured four of the five qualifying spots in the preliminary rounds.

The preliminary rounds of the Tiandou Division appear to have five qualifying spots, but in reality, it's a competition of 24 to 1. Twenty-three advanced soul master academies, including the Tiandou Royal Academy (vice-captain), will compete with Elephant Armor Academy for the last qualifying spot.

However, no academy can remain strong forever. Even the strongest academy on the continent, the Spirit Hall Academy, has its moments of stumble.

For example, in the championship battle of the previous Soul Master Competition, the Spirit Hall team had two of the only five-ring Soul Kings in that competition, but they were defeated by the Star Luo Royal Academy team, whose members were all four-ring Soul Kings, using the Soul Fusion Skill: Netherworld White Tiger.

Of course, the White Tiger Soul Master who unleashed the Netherworld White Tiger was not a prince of the Star Luo Empire, but merely a member of a collateral branch of the royal Dai family.

As the recognized second-best beast spirit family on the continent, the White Tiger family has more than just one emperor and a few princes. Otherwise, a decapitation strike would have caused the Star Luo Empire to collapse.
