The Evil Soul Master is actually myself

"Don't overthink it." Su Xuan'er patted the back of the boy's head, paused as she turned around, a few strands of hair fluttering as she whispered, "I'll wait for you..."

Su Ming took a deep breath and followed his sister.

Dinner was sumptuous; Su Xuan'er cooked it herself and fed him until he was full.

After finishing his meal, Su Ming didn't rush to cultivate. Instead, he planned to wander around and learn about the situation of other teams.

There are only three teams that have attracted widespread attention, and he has inquired about them; they are all familiar faces, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The Netherworld team, centered around the White Tiger Dai family and the Black Cat Zhu family, consists entirely of Soul Masters, and all of them possess at least top-tier Martial Souls, which Su Ming values ​​highly.

Not to mention they also have the powerful weapon of the [Netherworld White Tiger] martial soul fusion skill. Su Ming was really looking forward to seeing if his half-liberated Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could stand up to the Netherworld White Tiger on its own.

As for the other two teams, they inexplicably appeared in this chaotic freshman elimination tournament. One team consisted entirely of Soul Masters, but they didn't have faces in the original story. Fortunately, Su Ming recognized them; they came from some hidden sects.

Most of them banded together for mutual support, hoping to defeat Su Ming. Their name was also quite funny: "Hidden Alliance".

The last favorite to win the championship is led by Gu Yuena, and has two outstanding players, Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao.

This team isn't viewed favorably by the public because, compared to the other two teams, they only have two Soul Masters, Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong.

If other teams didn't already have no Soul Master level players left, and if both of them weren't on the Gold Ranking, the public wouldn't have considered [Dragon King] a favorite to win the championship.

but……

"Holy crap! Isn't that a foul?" Su Ming clicked his tongue in surprise as he was studying his opponents in the finals.

So it turns out the real team that won the championship was actually you—Gu Musi Yuena?

At this moment, the enhanced Huo and Tang duo, one had reached the level of a quasi-Great Soul Master at level 20, and the other had reached the level of a Soul Venerable at level 30. They also possessed the Sea God's Mark. In Su Ming's opinion, the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill even surpassed that of the [Netherworld White Tiger].

Don't forget, add Gu Yuena, who is on par with Su Ming, and this is just outrageous!

The other team members are not much weaker: Xiao Xiao with twin martial souls, Cui Yajie, a nine-tailed fox spirit master with mental control abilities, and the two Lan sisters with hair martial souls. By the way, these two also possess a control-type martial soul fusion skill.

"We're both teams that play around our core players, but everyone else has top-notch support players, while on my side, we have a mix of hidden dragons and phoenix chicks!" Su Ming remarked.

This structure seemed illogical to others, but in Su Ming's eyes it was simply an enhanced version of his own singles system.

The Dragon King team possesses two control-type martial soul fusion skills, which makes Gu Yuena feel incredibly comfortable, allowing her to unleash her attacks without any restraint.

Su Ming suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Was this going to backfire?

"I need to make them do extra training tomorrow!" he thought to himself before starting his training.

A night of cultivation.

The next day

The second stage of the freshman elimination tournament has begun, selecting the top 16 teams, who will play two rounds a day.

Feeling a sense of urgency, Su Ming went all out, defeating seven people in the individual competition and instantly wiping out an entire team in the team competition, finishing his shift at lightning speed.

They completely abandoned the group stage and only held individual and team matches, which undoubtedly shows that they have great confidence in their core players.

After eliminating two strong teams in a row, the audience finally noticed [Qiongqi]!

Some people were even eager to see Su Ming, but unfortunately, the seven members of the Qiongqi group left early and went to train in a remote place.

"Losing to anyone is fine, but losing to Gu Yuena would be the end of us!" Su Ming viciously whipped the group of tools to hone his trump card.

As the Round of 16 began, Su Ming led Qiongqi to a remarkable run into the semifinals, defying all expectations.

They became the only dark horse team besides the other three favorites to win the championship.

"I have never seen a player with such strong dominance, and he even led the team into the semifinals single-handedly."

"Even the Dragon King has Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Eye, who can build the team into a perfect unit. As for the Hidden Alliance and the Netherworld, they are typical multi-core teams, shameless villains who band together to win the championship. So what can Su Ming rely on?"

Commentator Lin Jun couldn't help but speak up, defending Su Ming.

"Yes, so far the Qiongqi team still finishes their opponents the fastest, averaging ten minutes per round. Fun fact: Su Ming's playing time is equal to the team's total playing time. Even so, people are not optimistic about them and even criticize them."

Commentator number two, Wang Ping, wasn't about to be outdone. He glanced at his partner and thought to himself, "Insidious. Luckily, I also prepared data to praise the young master from various angles."

Both of them are from the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce, and both are secretly devoted fans and admirers of Su. Of course, they are also prominent haters of Dai and the Hidden Alliance.

What? You're asking why Gu Yuena isn't dark-skinned?

Just kidding, who would make things difficult for a beautiful girl? Don't think Douluo Continent isn't a world that judges by appearance, right?

As for whether their biased commentary will be criticized, well, people are multifaceted, and it's normal to have multiple roles. This doesn't prevent them from being the best commentary duo.

The semi-finals are about to begin. Unlike traditional competitions, this time there are four rankings: champion, runner-up, third place, and fourth place, each corresponding to different levels of reward. Therefore, each team will have to play four matches.

"This is the competition schedule devised by that brain-dead planner (Su Ming?), does he really think Soul Masters are all made of iron?" Dai Huabin said cursingly, his face full of solemnity.

In his view, the remaining teams are tough nuts to crack. Playing two rounds would be fine, at least they could barely recover and the integrity of the teams would be guaranteed.

But after playing four matches, each one a life-or-death struggle, by the time they reached the final, Dai Huabin doubted how many players were left on the field.

Three top-grade ten-thousand-year soul bones, a core disciple spot, and a spot to hunt soul rings...

Never doubt its appeal to them.

"Phew! Luckily, in the first match we played against the weakest team, [Qiongqi] (Su ​​Ming??), and..." Dai Huabin took a deep breath, turned to look at a pretty girl with cold, dark green hair, and was filled with confidence. Only they, Youming, would stand until the very end!

"You're ready to go on stage," a staff member from the competition organization reminded you.

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin swept his fierce gaze across the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Go all out in this battle, eliminate your opponents quickly, and maintain your current form."

Then, without hesitation, he strode forward and led his team onto the ring!

On the other side, Su Ming emphasized, "We'll give up on the group stage, since you can't beat us anyway. In the team competition, if you're at risk of injury, surrender immediately and stay healthy, understand?"

Just because he himself is an iron man doesn't mean that his teammates can also remain uninjured in such high-intensity combat.

In fact, during the round of 16, several support players had already been injured from playing too hard. If Su Ming hadn't possessed [Ripple] and [Life Gold], some of them would have already been put on rest.

"We know, we know!" the workers replied obediently. They had realized that working too hard would only hold their boss back.

"Phew~, alright, let's go." Su Mingshen let out a breath. It wasn't easy. He really had to play both the father and the mother role along the way, being both the core of the attack and the support healer.

As the two teams took to the field, dazzling lights shone on the big screen, and the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

As the competition progressed, the Douluo people gradually got used to watching the games. They inexplicably developed the "fan circle" skill, each supporting their own team, and even fighting over it.

Casinos across the country are making a killing.

The parents of those ordinary students watched one high-level match after another and finally felt relieved. It wasn't that their children were too bad, but that their opponents were too strong.

I can understand the situation of being laid off or dismissed. Sometimes, having too high expectations for one's child can actually harm them.

On the road to account bans, there are countless corpses!

Enjoying the cheers and adoration of the crowd, Su Ming took a deep breath, looked at the White Tiger Duke's eldest son opposite him, and said with a smile, "I will prove on this stage who is the world's number one tiger-type beast spirit!"

Upon hearing this, the entire stadium erupted in screams that shook the entire arena!

Chapter 87 The Path to Physical Sainthood

Dai Huabin's face was extremely ugly. The Battle Spirit Domain was different from the trash talk in e-sports in his previous life.

Once a Soul Master starts to claim that their Martial Soul is the strongest, other Soul Masters of the same type will risk their lives to compete for it!

There is no second place in martial arts; no soul master wants their martial soul to be inferior to others.

Since the decline of the Blue Lightning Jade family ten thousand years ago, the White Tiger lineage has been known as the number one beast martial soul, but they dare not claim it. The more they know, the more cautious they become, so at most they only call themselves the number one tiger-type martial soul.

This has caused a lot of controversy, and people have been coming to challenge it. Fortunately, those people are all lone wolves, and their lineages disappear after a few generations. Only the extraordinary forces that have lasted for a long time are qualified to claim the title of the world's number one beast spirit.

"You think you're worthy of using the White Tiger Clan as a stepping stone?" Dai Huabin sneered, a murderous intent rising in his heart. He had to suppress the provocateur in order to prove his own abilities.

Su Ming smiled and simply held up three fingers, saying, "I'll give you three moves!"

"Arrogant!" Dai Huabin roared, his sinister eyes flashing with a fierce light, almost unable to resist making a move immediately.

Fortunately, a teammate nearby managed to pull him back in time.

"Dai Huabin, don't be impulsive. The competition is about to start. We can teach him a lesson during the match," Zhu Lu advised.

Dai Huabin took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He slit his throat with a chop to the neck and looked at Su Ming defiantly, saying, "Do you dare to come up here for the first individual match?"

After making those harsh remarks, the group prepared to turn around and leave the stage.

Then... a light, airy voice came from behind.

"That's it?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin immediately lost his composure and turned around, ready to unleash his martial spirit and charge forward to fight Su Ming to the death. Seeing this, the others desperately pulled him back and forcibly dragged him off the stage.

If a fight breaks out, it will be against the rules, and Dai Huabin will be forced to step down, making it much harder for them to fight.

Su Ming chuckled and shook his head. For some reason, most of the beast spirit owners in Douluo Continent had violent tempers, as if they were influenced by animalistic instincts. They were fine when they grew up, but the younger they were, the more ferocious they became.

"Huh? We see that the two teams seem to be having some kind of conflict." The commentator on the stage noticed that the players in the ring were pushing and shoving each other, as if they were about to fight.

"Yes, it seems that Dai Huabin, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, chickened out first and was dragged off the stage." Commentator Wang Ping laughed, sparing no effort to suppress his young master's rival.

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin, who had just stepped down from the stage, felt an urge to rush onto the commentary stage and smash these two "Dai haters" to pieces. "Which eye of yours saw us back down? We were clearly respecting the rules! How can following the rules be called backing down?"

Dai Huabin took a step back and became increasingly angry, his eyes turning red.

Seeing this, Zhu Lu quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, the competition is about to start, we'll beat him to a pulp then."

After the two commentators on the podium skillfully recited the advertising slogans of all the brands under Mingxuan in one breath, they officially announced the start of the competition.

Without hesitation, both sides sent out their star players to lead the individual competition.

The first match is between Su Ming and Dai Huabin.

The two stood on either side of the wide, clean arena, gazing at each other.

"So you really did come up here, Su Ming. Now, feel the pain!" Dai Huabin laughed maniacally, his face contorted with rage.

Martial Spirit Possession!

As soon as the referee shouted "start," Dai Huabin charged forward without hesitation. His whole body suddenly expanded, and he grew to 1.65 meters tall. A thick, fierce, pale aura enveloped his entire body, his hair was a mix of black and white, and his hands transformed into tiger paws, with sharp claws gleaming coldly.

He exuded an aura of unstoppable dominance, striding forward and leaving faint footprints on the ground.

"White Tiger Protective Shield!"

Dai Huabin roared, a pale aura surging forth, a layer of shimmering, clear light enveloping his entire body. He suddenly slammed his enormous tiger paw down at Su Ming.

bump!
