Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 50 Overlord's Thunder Domain

After the students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy took the stage, and amidst the host's flattering praise and the cheers of the audience, it was finally Shrek Academy's turn to enter.

As the cheers rose and fell like waves, the faces of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team members grew even paler, and the pressure weighing on their hearts became even greater.

Under Beibei's guidance, the seven people ascended the high platform in an orderly manner.

At the very front were Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, followed by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and finally Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian.

As the seven appeared, facing off against the team from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, the previously excited cheers began to fall silent.

Even the contestants from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were taken aback, because they could all see that the Shrek Academy's representatives were far too young.

This is clearly not Shrek Academy's regular team, but just the reserve team. However, this is the first elimination match, and the most crucial one, attracting everyone's attention. Aren't Shrek Academy afraid of being upset in the gutter?

The cheers for Shrek Academy gradually subsided, leaving everyone in the arena utterly bewildered, yet the match was to continue as scheduled.

After the referees took their positions, they gestured for both sides to come forward.

The trainees on both sides moved closer to the center of the field to listen to the referee explain the rules of the competition.

The referee said in a deep voice, "In the first round, the team elimination tournament, both sides can use most types of soul tools to compete. However, during the battle, if either side concedes defeat, the other side may not continue to attack."

"At the same time, Soul Masters are also prohibited from using high-damage Soul Tools such as fixed-position Soul Tools in combat. Is there a problem with that?"

"No," Beibei replied first.

"Understood." The captain and his team members from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy seemed a little slow to react, and it took them a moment to respond.

However, they couldn't help but look at Bei Bei and the others with a strange gaze. After all, although Bei Bei and the others' physical development was no worse than that of these students who were close to twenty years old, thanks to sufficient nutrition and training, they were still quite capable.

However, their youthful faces clearly showed that these Shrek Academy contestants were not old and could not possibly be official team members.

Even so, Shrek Academy's reputation still made them feel somewhat uneasy.

"Alright, both sides, step back to the sides of the arena. The match may begin only when I give the signal. Before the match officially begins, no one may release their Martial Soul; otherwise, they will be immediately disqualified."

Everyone slowly retreated to the sides of the arena, while Shrek's group maintained their original formation.

Beibei confirmed the next tactical deployment with everyone, and as the final deployment was completed, both teams retreated to their designated positions on either side of the field.

The formation of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was three Soul Masters in front, two Soul Masters in the middle, and the last two Soul Masters at the very end of the line, one in front and one behind.

The referee, standing in the center of the field, slowly raised his right hand, and the previously noisy arena instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and at that moment, the 108 metal pillars at the edge of the arena shone brightly, with beams of white light shooting into the sky and then turning into arcs that converged towards the center of the arena, twenty meters above the ground.

This eventually formed a hemispherical shield, with a white light curtain enveloping the entire arena.

As the referee's raised right hand fell, a loud shout, amplified by soul power, echoed in the ears of everyone present: "The match begins!"

With a command given, students from both sides released their martial souls. The students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were noticeably slower, clearly due to excessive tension.

However, the seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy also had excellent soul ring configurations. Among the seven, five had four-ring cultivation, while the remaining two had three-ring cultivation.

This is far superior to the three-person four-ring, two-person three-ring, and even two-person two-ring students at Shrek Academy.

At this point, some audience members couldn't help but start discussing: "No way, is it really the reserve team? I thought they just looked young."

"That's right, there are even students from the second ring. This is an elimination tournament. In the past, Shrek Academy's first match was usually when the official team went all out. Why are they so arrogant this time?"

Listening to the discussions among the spectators in the Star Luo Square stands, the Star Luo Emperor, watching from the top of the Imperial City, revealed a smile that was as warm and gentle as ever, unseen by anyone else.

But did he know why his good minister and brother, the army marshal, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, had abandoned his own legion and rushed to Xingluo City to participate in the opening match?

Because his eldest son died. As an inner disciple of Shrek Academy, he was steady and reliable, and was regarded as an important help to Dai Hao in the future. One of his two sons died in a mission of the Shrek Inspection Team.

This news was fantastic for the emperor, because the death of Dai Yueheng would certainly create some tension between Shrek Academy and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in this generation.

Moreover, he had already obtained information about Dai Hao's youngest son through his undercover agents. Although he possessed the most important ties between the Dai and Zhu families, the martial soul fusion skill, Netherworld White Tiger, which was passed down through generations.

However, he is arrogant and conceited, and has no cunning whatsoever. Even if he inherits the title of Duke of White Tiger, it is impossible for him to shake the status of the Xu family of the Star Luo royal family for at least three generations.

He could even take the opportunity to reclaim a portion of the legion controlled by Duke White Tiger. Dai Hao's hasty arrival was simply to show goodwill to Shrek Academy and express his attitude.

He stated that even though his eldest son had died, he was still willing to support and respect Shrek Academy, and that he did not hold a grudge against Shrek Academy because of Dai Yueheng.

However, the Shrek Inspection Team also lost face this time. It was a double blow. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion suffered a heavy blow, and the Shrek Inspection Team's overwhelming prestige was also slightly damaged.

It would be even better if Shrek Academy stumbled again in this competition, as this would cause the unconditional reverence that the continent has held for Shrek Academy for thousands of years to waver slightly.

A strange look flashed in Emperor Xingluo's eyes. You see, he had also enrolled in Shrek Academy when he was young, but he was eventually expelled due to some of Shrek Academy's rules and regulations.

If I could live to see Shrek Academy's glory tarnished, and then take this opportunity to strengthen the fragile imperial power of the Star Luo Empire, how wonderful that would be! Hahaha.

Meanwhile, the participating teams from other colleges also began to discuss the matter.

"Hey, hey, hey, is Shrek Academy serious?"

"Yes, according to our informants, Shrek Academy only has twelve participants this time."

"Oh? If seven are here, does that mean Shrek Academy only has five regular members?"

"."

No matter what the crowd below the stage was saying, it couldn't disturb the two teams on stage.

Beibei and the others were determined to win; they had to win! They absolutely could not let Shrek Academy's glory end here, otherwise it would be an extremely heavy blow to both Shrek Academy and to them personally.

As the distance between the two sides gradually closed, soon reaching a relative distance of thirty meters, the control-type soul masters of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy began to unleash their soul skills for long-range harassment.

In addition to remote control-type soul skills, the soul masters of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy also prepared soul guidance rays, although their power was not great, they were just ordinary level three soul tools.

At this very moment, the Soul Sect captain who was charging at the forefront of the enemy force had already reached the maximum range of Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Displacement.

"Now, San Shi, Junior Brother!" Bei Bei gave the order.

After Xu Sanshi's tall figure shielded everyone from a wave of soul skill attacks, he instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a bewildered enemy captain.

The enemy captain's questioning gaze instantly dimmed and lost its luster.

It was Huo Yuhao who temporarily controlled this Soul Master using his second Soul Skill.

It should be noted that even Ling Luochen, a Soul King from the inner court of Shrek Academy, could not effectively resist Huo Yuhao's soul skills, let alone this mere Soul Master from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy.

As Ning Tian rapidly chanted the soul incantation, the blessing of his martial soul quickly fell upon Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan, enhancing their strength and speed!

Thunderous Fury! Thunderous Dragon Claw! With a single strike, BeiBei tore apart the defensive soul tool carried by the Soul Master in front of him.

Immediately following was Jiang Nannan's move. Just as Bei Bei created an opportunity for her, she bent her supple waist, flipped over, and clamped her legs around the neck of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy captain, who had already lost consciousness of resistance.

Another turnaround! First Soul Skill: Waist Bow, followed by Second Soul Skill: Gravity Control.

With the added speed and power, the captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy slammed his beast-like body heavily onto the ground, his head striking the earth and creating a crack in the solid ground.

At the same time, the skull of the captain of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was also shattered by this attack, and he lost consciousness directly. He was rescued from the field by the referee.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi single-handedly withstood the firepower of six opponents. With the support of his third soul skill, Xuanming Power, he activated his second soul skill, Xuanming Shield Array. The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, after being enlarged, transformed into a shield wall, carrying waves of recoil force to restrain the enemy.

After defeating the captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, Bei Bei and the others continued to approach him, while Bei Bei silently counted down in his mind.

"Three, two, one!"

Beibei let out an uncontrollable roar.

The blue-purple lightning around him, which had been amplified by the thunder's wrath and had amplified his power, had now all transformed into gold.

A dazzling golden light shone, and a bright golden radiance condensed above his head. Then, Xu Sanshi replaced his figure and the lightning around him.

Guided by its master, the golden lightning flashed rapidly from its original spot toward Beibei's final landing point, and the afterimages formed by the golden lightning shocked everyone.

Aside from the colors, an indescribable domineering aura emanated from Beibei and the lightning surrounding her, while the roaring in the air was the sound of the dragon bloodline.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has mutated into the Golden Holy Dragon!

At this moment, Beibei activated the hidden power of her bloodline, which caused a tremendous change in her aura.

The usually gentle and mild-mannered Beibei now displayed an unimaginable strength and kingly aura.

This stems from the reverence for high-ranking dragons inherent in the bloodline of Soul Masters.

Because the origin of Soul Masters is Soul Beasts, and the origin of Soul Beasts is the influence of the aura after the fall of the Dragon God.

Therefore, it can be said that the Dragon Clan is the source of the cultivation system and the unique power system of Soul Masters in Douluo Continent.

The Golden Sacred Dragon already held a lofty position among the dragon race, and its domineering dragon might at this moment caused an uncontrollable panic among the students of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy who faced it.

At this moment, the fear they felt due to Shrek Academy's prestige was amplified infinitely by the immense dragon's might. Their limbs were stiff, and they were unable to mount any effective resistance.

At this moment, Bei Bei's aura had surged to its peak, and he roared, "Overlord - Thunder Domain!"

Centered on Bei Bei, concentric rings of golden lightning, like surging waves, burst forth, their golden light spreading wherever they passed, enveloping the students of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy beside her.

Then, wave after wave of thunder roared like the breath of a dragon, rising and falling under Beibei's control.

Moreover, the advanced soul master students of Tianling who took any defensive or countermeasure measures were paralyzed by the golden lightning power that enveloped their bodies after their protective soul tools shattered.

With Beibei's final burst of power, the thunderous force became more violent than ever before, surging wildly.

Even if the six members of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy were to admit defeat, they would still be unable to do so in this situation.

The two Soul Masters with weaker soul power were even forced into a state of Martial Soul Possession by the attack. Their skin was turning charred black under the power of the lightning, and they were about to die.

Seeing this, the teacher leading the team from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy below the competition platform hurriedly shouted to the referee, "We concede! We concede! Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy concedes!"

Seeing this, the referee immediately announced, "The winner is Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, the golden lightning power emanating from Beibei's body quickly faded and disappeared.

The six students from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy received emergency treatment from medical personnel. Apart from the two Soul Masters who were seriously injured, the others were fine.
