We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 80 In this era, everyone is the protagonist.

Notting Junior College, Fasno Province.

"Huh? You're going to participate in the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament?"

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stared in astonishment at Tang San, who suddenly pushed open the door and came in to tell him that he wanted to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

Unlike Hu Liena, whom Bibi Dong trusted implicitly, Tang San, who had lived two lives, was extremely wary of everyone except for his extraordinary infatuation with Xiao Wu.

This naturally includes Yu Xiaogang.

Therefore, Tang San did not tell his nominal master about the extremely important opportunity of entering the World Tree Plane, and Yu Xiaogang was unaware of his actual combat strength.

"Yes, I believe I'm strong enough now to give it a try."

Tang San looked calmly at Yu Xiaogang and said in a steady tone.

[Hehehe, what kind of bullshit Soul Master Competition and Title Douluo are they? They're just a bunch of ants. If I were to make a move, I could even take down that Pope Bibi Dong.]

Don't be careless. We're not the only ones training in the World Tree Plane. Other Soul Beast Masters also have their own opportunities. If we let our guard down, we might suffer a great loss.

Deep within Tang San's soul, the voices of the Evil Eye and Di Tian resounded simultaneously, one from the left and one from the right. One was evil and cruel, while the other was upright and peaceful, representing, to some extent, Tang San's current state.

After a year of training in the World Tree Plane, his heart, which was on the verge of turning to the dark side, was gradually repaired. Through his daily interactions with the two great soul beasts, his emotions also reached a delicate balance.

Incidentally, after experiencing numerous fierce battles in the World Tree plane, Tang San forged a deep bond with Evil Eye and Di Tian. Even Evil Eye developed a relationship with him that was both adversary and friend.

I know, but that's precisely why I need to hone my skills. The battles in the World Tree plane can no longer affect me. Only through true "life-or-death struggles" can I unleash more emotional power, evolve into the "ultimate form" mentioned by the World Tree, and forever protect Xiao Wu.

Tang San communicated with his two soul beast companions in his soul, a resolute expression on his face.

Super Ultimate is a combat power above Ultimate, the ultimate evolution that transcends the laws of the universe, and the final form deduced by the World Tree.

Even gods, if they cannot transcend the ultimate truth, will eventually reach the end of their lifespan, and the eternal divine realm will one day wither away.

Therefore, Tang San will not let go of any opportunity to fight against powerful enemies. Even if he has to face elite soul beast envoys from all over the world, he will not back down.

"No, you're only eleven years old. Even according to the revised rules of the Soul Master Competition a few days ago, you still have seven years of training time. You can wait until the next Soul Master Competition to participate. Going now would just be going through the motions."

Yu Xiaogang frowned and refused Tang San without thinking.

He knew that Tang San had a secret: in just one year, he had gone from a novice Great Soul Master to a level 30 Soul Venerable, and his strength had improved rapidly.

However, in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament, this can only be considered an entry-level skill.

There are many experts there, especially the seeded players of the Spirit Hall, who may break through to the Soul King level before the age of eighteen. With Tang San's current strength, he probably won't even be able to pass the preliminaries.

Moreover, he hasn't even had time to acquire his third spirit ring yet, and there's not much time left before the competition starts, so there's simply no time to hunt for spirit rings.

however.

Faced with Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Tang San merely frowned slightly and murmured softly.

【The Evil Eye of Domination】

next second.

His left eye turned into a deep red heart shape. Yu Xiaogang only glanced at that eye for a moment, but he felt that his soul, body, and everything else were out of control, like a puppet on strings. He spoke with an empty gaze.

"Okay, I'll arrange a suitable team for you right away, so you can take the stage as a core player."

"Remember, don't look for a team that's too strong. I can handle the whole game on my own. If my teammates are too strong, they'll just get in my way."

"Don't disturb my rest from now on. I will release you after the Soul Master Competition ends."

"Yes."

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, whose soul had been corrupted and who was completely controlled by the Evil Eye, Tang San only glanced at him indifferently before turning away and leaving.

The Evil Eye of Domination is one of the two ultimate forms evolved from the Evil Eye. It has the power to dominate all life and souls. Not to mention Yu Xiaogang, even if an ordinary Title Douluo came, Tang San could dominate them for a period of time, and even order them to commit suicide.

Of course, Tang San would not harm Yu Xiaogang, who had taught him a lot of knowledge. His control over Yu Xiaogang would be limited to the time of the Soul Master Competition. Once the Soul Master Competition was over, he would return Yu Xiaogang to his freedom.

At that time, Tang San will give Yu Xiaogang some compensation, which can be considered as settling their master-disciple relationship of the past few years.

One month later, in Wuhun City.

After a month of preliminary and qualifying rounds, a total of 33 teams entered the final, including seeded teams from the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, as well as advanced spirit masters from various academies.

In the stands, whispers and discussions rose and fell among the spectators.

"Have you heard? This year's Soul Master Competition is different from any previous one. There are an unusually large number of dark horses. Even His Holiness the Pope noticed something was wrong, which is why he gave such an outrageous reward."

"I've not only heard about it, I've seen it with my own eyes—can you believe it? Shui Bing'er from the Tianshui team froze the entire arena during the battle. It took seven fire-attribute Soul Saints three days and three nights to melt the ice. Her strength is unimaginable."

"That's nothing. Hu Yanli from Elephant Armor Academy is even more outrageous. I've heard that no one has been able to break through his defenses so far. His opponents can't even stand up straight before being crushed by the invisible gravity. Hu Yanli hasn't even made a move yet."

"There are also the twin stars of Shrek Academy. One of them has never even activated his martial soul, but he can kill his opponent with just a glare. The other one, once he activates his martial soul, will make other soul masters who were not killed by his glare surrender on the spot, because they simply cannot withstand the scorching heat of that martial soul."

Tang San mingled among the crowd, listening to their discussions about the favorite contestants in the competition, and secretly memorized their characteristics.

With his strength, dealing with those academy soul masters whose strength was only level 30 or 40 would not be difficult; the difficulty lay in how to conceal his strength.

As Di Tian said, he was not the only one chosen to enter the World Tree plane, nor was he the only Soul Beast Master who had evolved to the ultimate form. If he did not act cautiously, there might really be a risk of capsizing.

Therefore, during the preliminary and qualifying rounds, Tang San did not use any of the methods of a Soul Beast Master. Instead, he relied on his own Soul Power, tactics, and hidden weapons to get through the preliminary rounds with great difficulty.

Now that they've arrived at the finals, things are exactly as Tang San predicted: many Soul Beast Masters are beginning to show their talents.

"Freeze everything, gravity field, mental attack, ultimate flames—"

Tang San muttered to himself, feeling a different kind of pressure than in the World Tree plane, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I hope you can bring me a real sense of crisis and help me open up a new path of evolution."

If this book were still called "Douluo Continent," then Tang San's inner monologue might be the protagonist's declaration of certain victory, foreshadowing future plot developments.

But it's a pity.

Under Lu Ping's intervention, all the Soul Beast Masters present became protagonists.

In the area of ​​Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu exchanged a glance, and two spirit beasts that only they could see appeared behind them.

In the Elephant Armor Academy area, Hu Yanli was still locked in his seclusion room, training non-stop with triple gravity activated.

In the Shrek Academy area, Oscar and Ma Hongjun separately infiltrated the soul space to communicate with their soul beast partners and discuss their next tactics.

There are also Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, Spirit Hall Commando, and so on and so forth—

As the first generation of chosen children, these Soul Beast Masters who graduated from the World Tree Plane are all waiting for each other to appear, to serve as whetstones on their path of evolution.

A golden age that will completely change the cultivation system of Douluo Star has only just begun.

"The first battle: Elephant Armor Academy versus Skywater Academy!"

With the host's command, the first match of the Elite Soul Master Competition finally began.

However, unexpectedly, the other Soul Masters from both academies all chose to leave the field at the same time, leaving only three people on the field in an instant.

Huyanli, Shuibing'er, Xuewu.

"The dean conducted tests before, and the captain's combat power has already surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Saint-level expert. Fighting against such a powerful person, even the aftershocks could cause fatal damage to us. Rather than overestimating ourselves and dragging the captain down, it's better to leave the battle sooner."

-

"Sister Xuewu's combat power is also at the Soul Saint level. After she performed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique with the captain, she even almost killed the Dean. That power is too amazing—I feel that even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand it."

Below the stands, the Tianshui College team members whispered among themselves, expressing strong confidence in the two players who remained on the field.

In the World Tree plane, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu respectively formed contracts with Xue Di and Bing Di, becoming the soul beast tamers of these two top-tier soul beasts.

Even more astonishingly, because the two of them possessed a martial soul fusion skill, and because the Snow Empress and Ice Empress had an excellent relationship with each other and their souls did not repel each other, they actually developed a highly compatible fusion evolution form. Its status was so high that it could rank among the top three of the more than ten evolution forms that Lu Ping had mastered.

Its name is—

The Emperor of Eternal Stagnation.

Yes, the ultimate form resulting from the fusion and evolution of the two extreme ices touches upon the "Stagnation" law, which holds a very high position in the laws of the universe. It has the power to control stagnation within a certain range, stopping all material movement in an area and putting it into an absolute frozen state.

Its status is even slightly higher than that of the Evil Eyes of Death Perception, which touches upon the "law of death." However, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu have only developed it to the first stage and cannot freeze their spiritual power at the same time. Otherwise, they could have defeated Tang San with just this move.

"Hmph, our captain is invincible. Those girls probably don't even know what kind of opponent they're facing."

"Just three days ago, the captain was already able to activate a domain with five times the gravity. His strength and defense are terrifying to the extreme. Even a newly-entered Soul Saint can only leave a white mark on his skin and cannot break through his defense. When he fights at full strength, even a Soul Douluo cannot suppress him."

"Most importantly, the captain has a trump card: the ability to transform. Only the dean has seen his transformed form, and his evaluation of him is only one sentence."

"I am not as good as him."

On the other side, the team members of Elephant Armor Academy also admired their captain immensely. In their hearts, Hu Yanli was someone who would change the landscape of Douluo Continent. His unique gravity-based body-refining cultivation method allowed him to instantly kill opponents below the Soul Emperor level even without activating his Martial Soul.

In the World Tree plane, Hu Yanli's performance was also unexpectedly good. This boy, who was constantly beaten in the original work, had a very good compatibility with the Titan Ape. Through repeated battles and adjustments, they evolved their ultimate form, the Titan Titan Warrior.

This ultimate form, although it does not touch the laws of the universe, possesses a unique crushing power that is no less powerful than the laws of the universe.

In the original work, Titan Ape Erming's special move is called "Titan God Fist," which has the power to shatter everything and even cause space to be distorted and pulverized to a certain extent.

Through his interaction with the Titan Ape, Hu Yanli developed this crushing power to its ultimate level. If it continues to evolve, it will be able to crush the earth, crush elements, and crush spacetime.

However, the power of shattering does not consume the soul master's soul power, but rather the essence of flesh and blood. That is why Hu Yanli constantly hones his physical body to ensure that he can use the power of shattering in battle.

Under Lu Ping's tutelage, the three Soul Masters, who did not perform particularly well in the original work, unleashed their unique potential, and the ultimate forms they developed were in no way inferior to Tang San in terms of potential.

This is the power of "belief".

Each of the chosen children has their own unique path to growth. They do not need to rely on bloodline, identity, or background. As long as they have boundless ambition and believe in the bond between themselves and their soul beasts, their power can be increased infinitely.

"Battle—begin!"

boom!

As soon as the starting signal for the match faded, almost immediately, Hu Yanli activated his gravity field, and the figure of the Titan Titan appeared behind him, shimmering with a thick, earthy yellow light.

[Boy, your flesh and blood won't last long; we must finish this quickly.]

"I know."

Hu Yanli nodded, a resolute look on his face. His body was quickly covered with a thick layer of soul power, and his transformation mode was activated instantly.

"Titan Titans, transform!"

Rumble.

A giant over five meters tall rose from the ground on the arena. Hu Yanli was covered in armor as sturdy as the earth's veins. His right fist was clenched, and a formless and invisible "shattering power" flew towards Shui Bing'er and the other two girls with an aura of destructive force.

Upon witnessing this scene, Bibi Dong in the stands widened her eyes in shock.

"What kind of power is that?!"

The audience outside the venue couldn't see anything amiss and didn't know the terror of that invisible force, but she could.

Although the "quantity" of that power was not large, in terms of "quality," it was comparable to, or even superior to, the power of the Rakshasa God. If an equal amount of the Rakshasa God's power were to collide with it, it would be the Rakshasa God's power that would be shattered.

Hu Yanli from the mere Elephant Armor Academy passed on power to him that surpassed the power of the Rakshasa God?

Bibi Dong's lips twitched, a fleeting expression of jealousy flashed across her face, and her nails dug into her flesh.

Well, well, this god who controls everything behind the scenes is really extravagant.

only.

When I finally harvest all these "seeds" you've carefully nurtured, I wonder if you'll still be able to laugh.

"Bing'er".

"Snow Dance".

However, on the other side, facing the terrifying power that shattered the surrounding space and light, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu simply exchanged a glance, their faces showing no fear whatsoever.

next second.

The world has come to a standstill.

In the icy and snowy landscape where only black and white remained, the "Ice and Snow Maiden" behind Shui Bing'er and the "Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion" behind Xue Wu merged and intertwined, eventually evolving into a stunningly beautiful being that exuded a solemn aura and resembled a god.

The Emperor of Eternal Stagnation.

Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er merged into one, transforming into the strongest Eternal Stasis Emperor form. Everything around them instantly froze, and even Bibi Dong could not break this stagnation. Only spiritual power could detect and think about it.

"What...what kind of monster is this? Why can't I move?"

Bibi Dong, standing in the stands, realized that she had also fallen into a state of stagnation, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

If she was merely jealous of the Titan's crushing power but didn't feel threatened and believed everything was under control...

Then, the Eternal Stasis Emperor's power of stagnation instilled in her a deep-seated fear.

At that moment, if that Eternal Stagnation Emperor wanted to kill her, he might actually be able to.

"Within a single day, two powers surpassing the Rakshasa God have appeared. Could the deity behind this be the God-King? I can't think of any other god who could possess such power."

Bibi Dong tried to appear calm, but inwardly she was already having second thoughts.

Even the constraints of the rules of the divine realm are not necessarily safe when facing a god-king level being.

However, she was unwilling to simply become a victim of the God King's plan.

Just as Bibi Dong was in a state of turmoil, pondering a whole host of things, the match on the field had already ended.

Hu Yanli looked around in a daze, and when he saw himself standing in the audience, he showed a blank and ignorant expression.

"Kid, we've met our match this time. A power that can halt everything—I've never even heard of such a thing before."

In his mind, the Titan Ape said solemnly that although its memories were sealed, Lu Ping had preserved its experience and common sense as a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Even it had never seen power at the level of the laws of the universe.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

[Bing'er, this opponent is no simple matter. Its crushing power can even shatter the power of stagnation.]

Fortunately, the opponent's mental strength was too weak to control the direction of the shattering power within the stagnant world; otherwise, we would have been in danger just now.

Upon hearing the voice from the Snow Woman in her mind, Shui Bing'er's expression turned extremely ugly. The power of the Shattering Force was beyond their imagination; it could even shatter the "Power of Stasis."

Fortunately, Hu Yanli mainly cultivated physical essence and was much weaker than her in terms of mental strength. Otherwise, if he had been able to control the direction of the shattering power in the stagnant world, she would have been the one to lose.

"The victor is Shuitian Academy!"

Upon hearing the referee announce the end of the match, the spectators in the stands exchanged bewildered glances.

What on earth happened?

They only saw Hu Yanli's martial spirit appear, and then the next second, he appeared below the arena.

Has the Soul Master Tournament really developed to this point? The competition is over before you even start—
