Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 136 The Bet

After the 27th round of qualifying matches, the top five teams in the standings will qualify for the next round.

The qualifying rounds do not eliminate any teams; they simply rank the teams from each college to prevent strong teams from meeting early in the finals, which could cause teams that should have achieved better results to end up at the bottom and fail to demonstrate their true strength.

However, this nearly month-long qualifier is a considerable test for most teams.

This is especially true for weaker teams that have to fight hard in every match.

As soon as they took the stage, the Shrek team and the Royal Fighting vice team started exchanging barbs.

There was no other reason; the Shrek team's bizarre attire was looked down upon by the Royal Fighting team members, who came from a corrupt noble family.

In particular, Ma Hongjun's undisguised lecherous gaze was despised by the female members of the Royal Fighting team.

They already looked down on the other side, and with the other side having a "perverted devil," it was natural that someone from the Royal Fighting Vice Captain would make sarcastic remarks.

Because they had been expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Shrek Academy members had no goodwill towards the vice-captain of the Royal Academy. They also deeply understood Flander's classic quote: "A soul master who dares not cause trouble is not a good soul master." When mocked, they naturally launched a strong counterattack, with Xiao Wu being the most fearless of making things worse.

At this moment, the referee entered the arena and saw the two teams exchanging insults, each one more offensive than the last. He couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "Both sides bow, and non-participants should leave the arena."

Upon hearing this, the verbal sparring came to an end. Both teams reluctantly bowed to each other, and the extra members left the arena, leaving only the seven members from each team who participated in the first round of the qualifiers.

Perhaps because they were preparing to decisively defeat the Royal Fighting Vice Team and wash away their shame, the Shrek team brought out their strongest strength.

Aside from Oscar, who is a food-type character, six of the original Shrek Seven Devils appeared, plus a level 38 Talon.

VIP seating.

"Sect Leader Ning, I see Rongrong is also on the field. Do you favor Shrek Academy?"

After glancing at Ning Rongrong on the arena, Emperor Xueye asked Ning Fengzhi.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an ironclad ally of the Heaven Dou Empire, and Ning Rongrong is the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. She is also deeply loved by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo. Emperor Xueye naturally recognizes Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Rongrong and the others are good, but if it's the next Soul Master Competition, then they might have a much better chance."

It wasn't that the Shrek team members lacked talent, but rather that Tang San and the others were a bit too young. Among the seven Shrek members who came from Soto City, including his daughter Ning Rongrong, the oldest, Dai Mubai, was only seventeen, and the youngest was only fourteen. They could at least participate in one more Soul Master Competition.

Moreover, three of the seven have innate full soul power, and even Zhu Zhuqing, who has the worst talent, has innate level 7 soul power. In terms of talent alone, the champion teams of previous Soul Master Competitions could never reach this level of lineup.

Unfortunately, age is a major disadvantage. Moreover, this year's Soul Master Competition is extraordinary. Not to mention the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation," even the strength of the Blazing Fire Academy team and the Heavenly Water Academy team is the highest in the history of both academies.

Thinking this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but look at Mu Yang and the others in the stands of the contestants in the distance.

If the Heavenly Dou Empire is to win the championship this time, then the winning team will most likely be the Blazing Fire Team.

The team has seven main members, including three high-level five-ring Soul Kings and four four-ring Soul Masters. On paper, their strength far exceeds the average level of previous champion teams.

"Haha, they're all young people with a bright future! It seems that not only this time, but even the next Soul Master Competition, will be the empire's championship."

Emperor Xueye said with a smile.

This year's Heaven Dou Empire has the Blazing Fire Team, and five years from now, the Shrek Team will be in the next competition. In Emperor Xueye's opinion, the Heaven Dou Empire, which has failed to win the championship for three consecutive years, will most likely be able to win the Soul Master Competition twice in a row.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to disagree, but the strength of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall is not weak."

As soon as Emperor Xueye finished speaking, Salas, who was standing next to him, retorted.

Even if we lose, we won't lose face. Although the Blazing Fire team is strong, our own Spirit Hall team is equally powerful. So what if they only have three Spirit Ring Kings? It's not like we're the only ones who have them.

Moreover, Hu Liena and Xie Yue both possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so the outcome is still uncertain!

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze and said, "This sect master believes that the champion of this competition will belong to my Heavenly Dou Sect. Lord Salas, how about we make a bet?"

"What are Ningzong's stakes in this bet?"

"Salas asked."

"I will not force anyone. If I win, you may reward the champion team with one million gold soul coins in the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Conversely, if you win, I, the sect master, will also reward the Spirit Hall team with one million gold soul coins in your name.

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a large and powerful family. Ning Fengzhi lacks nothing except for geniuses and experts. The reason he made a bet with Salas was simply to annoy Salas.

The Spirit Hall is the undisputed overlord of the Spirit Master world. While it has a large number of Spirit Masters under its command, it also faces enormous financial pressure.

After all, the Spirit Hall, unlike the two great empires, did not have sufficient national tax revenue to support it.

As a result, the Spirit Hall, with its limited revenue streams, will inevitably have to erode the interests that originally belonged to various forces. Otherwise, if it can't even pay salaries, who will be willing to risk their lives for it?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses are spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire. As the Spirit Hall's power has grown in recent years, under the leadership of Salas, the master of the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's interests have been eroded considerably.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi couldn't stand Salas no matter how he looked at him.

It's only because the Spirit Hall is powerful and not to be trifled with that Ning Fengzhi would have already sent Sword Bone Douluo to secretly kill Salas, whom he disliked.

"Just as Sect Leader Ning said."

After a moment's hesitation, Salas agreed.

Although Salas wasn't as extravagant as Ning Fengzhi, he could still come up with a million gold soul coins.

If he wins, he will not only make Ning Fengzhi suffer, but also befriend the Golden Generation.

It should be noted that the three members of the Golden Generation possess exceptional talent and are destined to become nine-ring titled Douluo, ranking among the elders.

Moreover, Hu Liena is the Pope's personal disciple. If nothing unexpected happens, in a few years, when Hu Liena becomes stronger, she will most likely be named a Holy Maiden, and can be said to be the next Pope of the Spirit Hall.

It would certainly be a good thing to be on good terms with the future pope and the two elders.

If they lose, at most they'll just lose face, and they might even be able to use it to win over this year's champions.

Bah! The Golden Generation can lose? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Salas is going to win!
