From Douluo Continent onwards, Glory is invincible.

Chapter 34 The Cruel Soul Master Competition, the Terrifying Evil Soul Masters

Lin Fan's eyes had never been so firm as they were at this moment.

Lin Fan did not sleep for a day and a night. He cultivated, pondered, and felt the abundant soul energy at the peak of the Battle Soul Mountain. Lin Fan was confident that he could break through another level on the last day of the competition.

In this way, Lin Fan will have three chances to draw a prize. Moreover, if he encounters Bibi Dong on the arena, he may also trigger a special prize draw opportunity. He has previously completed a mission to save the goddess and a mission to move the goddess. He wonders what it will be this time.

Lin Fan silently prayed in his heart, "I might not lose after all. Whether I can successfully escape with Bibi Dong after the competition and protect the child I was single for twenty years in my previous life depends on these few lottery chances. Ling'er, you must do your best, otherwise you will never see your master again."

"What? Master wants to draw a prize? Master still has one chance left." Ling'er's voice came from his mind.

"I'm not smoking now," Lin Fan replied coldly to himself, having given up. Although Ling'er's voice was cute, she never cared about his life or death. Even when he was about to die, this silly Ling'er could only say these two sentences.

Would you like to participate in the lottery, Master?

The owner hasn't had a chance to win a prize yet.

But thinking about it this way, Lin Fan relaxed. What's there to be afraid of? Even if I die, so what? Maybe I'll just go back to playing King of Glory.

Thinking about all this, Lin Fan was no longer afraid of anything. He began to reminisce about the songs of his previous life of cultivation. He thought that if he went back, he would have to compete in the Star Glory promotion tournament. That day, he had just reached Diamond I and was one game away from Star Glory, but he lost five games in a row. Lin Fan was not convinced and kept playing. In the end, his phone exploded and he was transported to another world.

"Xiao Fan seems to be alright now..."

Seeing Lin Fan humming a tune as he walked, Liu Erlong said to the Haotian team members with delight.

Tang Huo'er glanced back at Lin Fan's current state, pursed her lips, and said, "This guy seems to have something wrong with his head. He looked like he was about to die just now, but now he's in the mood to sing."

"Never mind, I'm used to it." Liu Erlong glanced at Lin Fan speechlessly.

Lin Fan didn't pay any attention. Looking at Tang Huo'er's sexy and tall back in front of him, he thought, "Although there's no game in this world, there are definitely a lot of beautiful girls." He couldn't help but say, "Senior sister, your legs are so long! How will a girl who's this tall ever get married?"

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind in front of him, and he felt himself flying up. Then he landed instantly, and his body felt a little sore.

Lin Fan looked up, only to find that Tang Huo'er had thrown him from the back of the line to the front, where the elders and sect leaders were walking.

Tang Hao happened to turn around and glance at him. Lin Fan quickly got up and swiftly charged back to the back of the group.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

How could this girl be so fast? He didn't even have time to use his skills.

This guy is not to be trifled with...

Lin Fan obediently shut his mouth and dared not say another word.

The Haotian Sect's group entered the building area atop Douhun Mountain. The buildings here were all very retro, consisting of courtyards, pavilions, and terraces. At this moment, a middle-aged man came out, politely greeted Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, and then led them into the manor.

After the Haotian Sect's group entered the manor, other major sects and families followed one after another into the building complex atop Douhun Mountain.

The buildings atop Mount Douhun are large enough to accommodate 10,000 people, but only sects and families with sufficient influence in the Soul Master world can live inside. Many smaller sects and families set up tents outside.

At the summit of Fighting Soul Mountain, there is a tacit rule: outside the arena, no one dares to make a move. Even if they witness a sect disciple die on the arena, all grudges can only be resolved after they leave the mountain.

The Haotian Sect occupied two pavilions in the manor complex. At this time, Lin Fan did not know where Bibi Dong was. That night, he was still cultivating diligently in his room.

The next day, the Elite Soul Master Tournament officially began. The arena was on a plain at the top of the mountain. All sects that were qualified to participate could watch the competition. On the vast plain, there were four huge arenas, each larger than the one of the Clear Sky Sect. The floor of the arenas was made of pure iron stone and soul tools, enough to withstand the attack power of a Soul Saint.

There are a total of sixty-four sects and families participating in this Elite Soul Master Competition. This is the limit set by the competition. Apart from sects and families that have a certain status and influence in the Soul Master world, other smaller families, if they also have seven disciples under the age of eighteen who are Soul Masters or above, must first compete to win a spot before they can come here.

The competition is divided into preliminary rounds and finals. The preliminary rounds are based on a points system, and each team will be scheduled to play several matches in the preliminary rounds. Finally, within ten days, the top sixteen teams in terms of points will be determined.

The remaining seven days will be the finals, where each pair of teams will compete in a duel. Each team will only have one chance, and the losing team will be eliminated.

Whether it's the preliminary rounds or the finals, each sect or family team can field a maximum of seven members. Once the lineup is set, it cannot be changed, but for each duel, the number of participants and members can be chosen at will.

At this moment, Lin Fan had already followed the Haotian Team to the stands around the arena. These prime viewing spots were reserved for powerful sects. The seats for the sect leaders and elders of the major Soul Master families, as well as the royal families of the two great empires, were in the VIP section. Lin Fan immediately noticed that there were elders from the Spirit Hall in the VIP section, but he didn't see Pope Qian Xunji. They probably wouldn't be attending the first day of the preliminary rounds.

The Haotian team originally had three matches on the first day, but their opponents conceded defeat in two of them. The third match was in the afternoon, so they only arrived to watch now. Here, you can watch the battles on four arenas simultaneously. The stands extend upwards all around, but there aren't as many seats as in modern football stadiums or concert halls. There are no seats at the very top, where many smaller sects and families have gathered to watch the matches.

Although it was only the preliminary round of the Elite Tournament, the stands around the perimeter were packed with people from various sects. In Tang San's era, such Soul Master duels were common in the Grand Soul Arena. But in today's Soul Master world, such a safe and secure place to watch matches, without worrying about any danger, is almost nonexistent, except perhaps at Soul Fighting Mountain.

No matter how powerful the Soul Arena is, there have always been instances of evil sects and demonic sects' Soul Masters causing bloodshed on the spot, or some sect members directly rushing onto the stage to kill one side. It is precisely because of this that this absolutely fair elite competition on Soul Mountain has attracted the attention of the entire Soul Master world.

Lin Fan glanced at the front row nearby but didn't see Bibi Dong. She probably wasn't interested in watching the game. But on the first day, there should be three matches for the Spirit Hall. Have their opponents all conceded defeat?

In the preliminary rounds, powerful sects and families typically send only one or two members to face the opposing team of seven. Even so, there are always cases where opponents concede defeat. The rules of the tournament are cruel; if you don't concede beforehand, once you step onto the stage, your life or death is in the hands of fate.

"Now, two matches will be held simultaneously. The first match is between the Demon Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect. The second match is between the Ice Phoenix Family and the Berserker Family. Please welcome the participating teams from both sides to the arena."

The voice belonged to a woman, but she wasn't on the arena; she was on a floating platform above it, holding a soul tool that resembled a microphone. There were also amplifying soul tools scattered throughout the arena.

"The Demonic Sect?"

Seeing the Demonic Sect appear in the very first match surprised Lin Fan slightly. Disciples from the various sects around him also started discussing it. After all, the Demonic Sect is still the largest evil soul master alliance. Their belief is to kill and level up by plundering and absorbing the soul power of others. Many evil soul masters in the Demonic Sect have beast martial souls that have this ability to absorb the soul power of others.

In the original novel, Ma Hongjun, one of the Seven Devils, also possessed this ability with his Evil Fire Phoenix. Ma Hongjun, in the original story, only plundered and absorbed the soul power of soul beasts. The evil soul masters of the Demonic Sect, however, mostly absorbed the soul power of other soul masters directly; absorbing human soul power was much easier than absorbing the soul power of soul beasts.

Tang Huo'er said calmly, "In Douhun Mountain, disciples of the Demon Sect are qualified to participate in the competition. No one can attack them outside the arena. The only way to kill them is on the arena. However, if they encounter teams from the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, they usually concede defeat in advance. Last year, the Demon Sect knew that I had defeated five teams in a row, so they tried to use seven people to devour my soul power. That's why I killed five of them on the stage."

"I see, well done, Senior Sister." Lin Fan had just finished praising Tang Huo'er when he saw that both matches were about to begin.

Three members of the Demonic Sect took to the stage, while all seven members of the Azure Cloud Sect participated.

The Demon Sect members were dressed the same as those Lin Fan had seen in the Star Dou Great Forest: black robes with a strange bat pattern on them.

"You demonic figures of the Demonic Sect, as long as you don't step down, our Qingyun Sect will exterminate you all..."

Just as the seven people from the Qingyun Sect finished speaking, a voice came from the sky.

"The ring is sealed off, and the match officially begins. During the match, leaving the ring is considered a surrender, and the opposing team may no longer attack members of the team that has left the ring. Any member of either team who dies, loses their fighting ability, or leaves the ring is considered eliminated. When all members of one team are eliminated, the other team wins."

After the female host in the air finished reading the rules, golden halos immediately appeared around the two arenas, which looked somewhat strange.

Lin Fan quickly asked Tang Huo'er beside him, "Senior Sister, is this the restriction on the arena of the competition? It can isolate all mental interference?"

Tang Huo'er nodded and said, "Not only that, this restriction not only blocks all spiritual energy, but also makes it impossible for people outside the arena to rush in to rescue someone during the competition. If a participant finds themselves outmatched, they can only concede defeat by jumping off the arena, and their opponents may not give them that chance..."

"What? If we can't escape the ring, won't we die on it...?"

Lin Fan was about to continue speaking when he saw the three black-robed members of the Demonic Sect on the stage move. All three of them were actually Soul Masters above level 40. On the other hand, of the seven people from the Azure Cloud Sect, only two were Soul Masters, and the rest were all above level 30.

"Bloodthirsty Bat..." One of the Demon Sect members summoned his Martial Soul and instantly pounced on a Qingyun Sect disciple. Before the Qingyun Sect disciple could react, blood spurted from his neck, and he collapsed to the ground as a corpse.

"Junior brother..."

Seeing this, the remaining six Qingyun Sect disciples were enraged. It seemed that this was their first time participating in the Elite Tournament. The six of them immediately released their martial spirits and Qingfeng Swords, and attacked the three members of the Demon Sect together.

Unfortunately, the martial souls of these three members of the Demonic Sect were all powerful beast martial souls. The martial souls of the other two members of the Demonic Sect were black crows. They were incredibly fast and could kill in one move. In just a few exchanges, the Qingyun Sect team lost four disciples again. The remaining two disciples frantically tried to run out of the arena, but were immediately surrounded by the three members of the Demonic Sect.

"Hehehe, where do you think you're going? Since you dared to refuse to admit defeat before the race, then prepare to die..."

The demonic sect member with the bloodthirsty bat martial soul instantly pounced on one of the Qingyun sect disciples, biting his neck and beginning to absorb his soul power and life force.

"Ah..." The Qingyun Sect disciple let out a scream, but it stopped abruptly. A few seconds later, he collapsed to the ground, completely unrecognizable as before, becoming a shriveled corpse.

"My son..."

A middle-aged man shouted and charged madly toward the arena, but crashed into the golden barrier a few meters away from the arena. The middle-aged man, who had decades of cultivation, died instantly and fell outside the arena.

Meanwhile, the Demon Sect member on the arena continued to drain the other six Qingyun Sect disciples dry. Afterward, the bloodthirsty bat-like Demon Sect member chuckled and said, "All seven of them are dead. We can announce the results of the match now."

Actually, the sounds inside the arena couldn't be heard outside, but the female host on the floating platform could see everything happening in the arena. She picked up the microphone and calmly announced, "The first match, the Demon Sect wins. The arena is now closed. Please continue to watch the second match..."

The host's voice even carried a playful tone, as if the person who died on the stage wasn't a human being at all.

The next moment, the golden barrier around the first arena disappeared, and a group of people in strange uniforms immediately went on stage and cleaned the arena.

Liu Erlong, who had never participated in the Elite Tournament before, suddenly stood up and shouted at the arena, "What kind of lousy Elite Tournament is this? It's so inhumane! We just watch our fellow disciples being cruelly killed, and we can't even go up on stage to save them..."

Ye Keke was so frightened that she lowered her head and started crying, as if she had remembered something.

Having experienced life and death, Lin Fan didn't experience much emotional fluctuation, but he was worried about what was about to happen, and his mood suddenly became somewhat heavy.

The arena's restrictions, even with just one impact, caused the death of a sect elder. This gives an idea of ​​just how powerful the four people who control the entire Fighting Soul Mountain are.

Shui Yue'er completely ignored the Demon Sect's match; she was intently watching another match on another stage, the Ice Phoenix Clan, which was her own clan.

At this time, the Ice Phoenix Clan was not well-known on the continent, far less famous than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, but it remained mysterious. Apart from the members of the clan, no one knew the true strength of the clan.

Two chapters combined into one, thanks for your support! Miss Bibi Dong is saying she's robbing recommendation votes...
