Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 103 The Scoring of Geniuses, Individual Competition Begins

With Tang Xiao's command, the entire arena fell silent.

The contestants who were just fighting to the death stopped under the pressure of the titled Douluo.

Upon hearing this, Oscar reluctantly abandoned his pursuit of Tang Long.

Tang Long is considered to have the highest soul power in this Soul Master Exchange Competition.

Next up is the individual competition, which relies entirely on individual ability.

Although one can use methods other than martial souls, most of these methods cannot help one challenge opponents of higher levels.

Of course, this excludes soul bones, soul tools, and hidden weapons.

"We were so close. If we had just seriously injured him, the pressure on us in the next individual match wouldn't have been so great." Oscar shook his head and sighed.

However, I didn't get discouraged; pressure can be a motivator.

Don't be too ambitious; everyone who advances to the individual competition is a genius.

Lan Minghua also came to his senses at this time, and he had no objection to Tang Xiao's intervention.

After all, that's the rule of the Soul Master Exchange Tournament.

Those contestants who failed to secure a seat walked off the stage dejectedly.

Although they didn't advance to the individual competition, they were all grateful to be alive.

Lan Minghua also witnessed this scene.

He glanced at the contestants still standing on the stage, stretched lazily, and murmured, "Is it finally over? Well, there are quite a few geniuses, aren't there?"

He activated the system's talent rating detection, his gaze sharpening as he openly scanned each advancing contestant.

The talent ratings of those players were immediately visible to Lan Minghua.

"The contestants in the upper half of the bracket are quite strong. I wonder if Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing can handle them."

Lan Minghua narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the group of people.

Name: Tang Long.

Age: 26.

[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer]

[Soul Power: Level 53.]

[System Talent Rating: 86 points.]

…………

[Name: Yan]

Age: 23.

[Martial Soul: Flame Lord.]

[Soul Power: Level 49.]

[System Talent Rating: 86 points.]

…………

Name: Ning Wuchen.

Age: 29.

[Martial Soul: Seven Prisons Soul Suppressing Tower.]

[Soul Power: Level 51.]

[System Talent Rating: 66 points.]

…………

[Name: Feng Xiaotian]

Age: 22.

[Martial Soul: Gale Two-Headed Wolf.]

[Soul Power: Level 42.]

[System Talent Rating: 82 points. (Original Rating: 87 points)]

Looking at the three people's ratings, Lan Minghua nodded, agreeing with them.

"As Tang Xiao's stepson, Tang Long was already a Soul Saint when Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect in the original story. So it's not surprising that he has this talent."

"Yan is a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. There is still more than a year before the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament. His current soul power of level 49 is not low."

However, what puzzled Lan Minghua was Ning Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian.

Lan Minghua stroked his stubble and narrowed his eyes. "Ning Wuchen? Never heard of him. But since his martial soul isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he must be a collateral disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At twenty-nine years old, he's only a level fifty-one Soul King. His talent is indeed not that great."

He had absolutely no recollection of Ning Wuchen.

However, it is clear that this is a representative sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After all, even a titled Douluo would covet a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a supporting sect, it's impossible for them to remain completely inactive.

However, Lan Minghua had doubts after seeing Feng Xiaotian's system talent rating.

"Why does Feng Xiaotian have two system scores? One is 82 points, and the other is 87 points."

Feng Xiaotian is a rare genius with innate full soul power at Douluo Continent No. 1 High School.

The Martial Soul Gale Two-Headed Wolf is no less powerful than a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, and by all accounts, it should be no weaker than Dai Mubai.

Although he spent a lot of time researching his self-created soul skill, the Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, it's not like he only got a system talent score of 82.

Lan Minghua was puzzled and silently asked himself, "System, what's going on with Feng Xiaotian's system talent rating?"

The latest novel is first published here!

[Beep, talent is not fixed. The rating in parentheses is Feng Xiaotian's maximum rating, while the rating without parentheses is the real-time rating.]

A person's talent is influenced by factors such as age, diligence, and resources, which is why Feng Xiaotian's current talent score is only 82 points.

After a systematic explanation, Lan Minghua understood the meaning of the two ratings.

He shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes: "Creating your own soul skill is certainly valuable, but it's such a waste to have such a good talent. Feng Xiaotian, you've really picked up a sesame seed and lost a watermelon."

No wonder Feng Xiaotian, a genius with innate full soul power, ended up fading into obscurity. It was all his own doing.

Lan Minghua didn't waste any more time on Feng Xiaotian and turned his attention to the others.

Apart from the few people mentioned earlier, 60% of those who advanced in the upper half of the bracket were direct disciples of the three upper sects, and their soul power was around level 45.

However, in the upper half of the bracket, there is another Soul Master who is very conspicuous.

That is, Tang San.

With the help of disciples from the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tang San's participation in the seat competition was merely a formality.

Therefore, the hidden weapons on his body have not yet been exposed.

Even Lan Minghua couldn't know how many hidden weapons Tang San had made.

But there's no need to worry, because hidden weapons can't break through the defenses of the Three Treasures Pearl and the Black Armor.

Therefore, Tang San was ultimately just a clown.

Lan Minghua's gaze did not linger on the upper half of the draw; he turned his attention to the lower half.

The contestants in the lower half of the bracket should not be underestimated either.

There are Hu Liena and Xie Yue from the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, one at level 48 and the other at level 49.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also sent out a level 53 Soul King to compete for the championship.

In addition, Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy, and Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu from Tianhuo Academy, all successfully advanced to the individual competition.

Incidentally, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er have a system talent score of 81 points, while Huo Wushuang is a bit lower, with a score of only 78 points.

Lan Minghua recognized the talent of these people.

If possible, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take him on as an apprentice.

Of course, he doesn't force it; he leaves it to fate.

Above the arena, Tang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Oscar stop.

He was still hoping that Tang Long would win the Soul Master Exchange Tournament and obtain that 100,000-year-old soul bone for the Clear Sky Sect.

After all, this way the spoils wouldn't be divided unfairly, thus preventing the collapse of the trust that had just been established with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.

The other two cases also involved their own people, so there was no issue of unequal distribution of spoils, as those in the know would know.

Tang Xiao's booming voice rang out again as he saw that only the contestants with seat cards remained on the stage.

"Contestants, please have your names engraved on your place cards and place them in the boxes in the upper and lower halves of the arena. The individual matches will be drawn in half an hour."

The contestants on the stage hadn't expected the schedule to be so tight. They quickly engraved their names on their place cards, put them in the box, and then sat down to meditate.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the individual competition of the Soul Master Exchange Tournament officially began.

Lan Minghua wanted Oscar and his three companions to sweep the top four spots in the Soul Master Exchange Competition, so he naturally wouldn't give the people from the three upper sects any chance to manipulate things behind the scenes.

If there's going to be any underhanded dealings, then it'll be him doing the underhanded dealings.

Immediately, he slowly stood up under everyone's gaze.

Lan Minghua looked around and said to everyone, "In that case, let me draw the opponents for each contestant."
