Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 582 The Competition Begins

Nebula Douluo Manyi told Xu Jiujiu what he had just seen and experienced.

In fact, there was not much that happened. Jiang Ming suddenly transformed into the combat power of Extreme Douluo level and killed Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng with one move.

Then, together with a group of top strong men, including the Sea God Pavilion Master Xuanzi, the Body Sect Master Du Bu Si, and the Bingtianxue Emperor, they sniped a level 98 leader of the Holy Spirit Sect and forced out the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

Their battle only destroyed a mountain range and captured an evil soul master, Titled Douluo.

Isn't that all?
Nebula Douluo tried to keep a calm expression while he was telling the story. After all, she was a Titled Douluo and an elder, so she couldn't get too excited and appear insecure.

But when she finished telling the whole story from beginning to end, and saw the princess's eyes wide open and her mouth slightly opened that had never closed again, she knew that the princess had been numbed by shock.

Who isn't?

To be honest, after saying it again, she felt a little scared.

If more powerful warriors joined in the battle between strong warriors of this level, then she, the Titled Douluo, would be in real risk of falling!
And it's not the kind of death that occurs in a bloody battle and where one sacrifices one's life heroically. He might have been accidentally killed by some super Douluo's ultimate move. That would be too tragic.

Tonight, countless people in the entire hotel, and even in the entire Mingdu, are suffering from insomnia. Even though the competition will open tomorrow, what happened tonight really makes it impossible for them to sleep.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines in the east, the streets of Mingdu are already a strange sight.

Soldiers covered in silver armor lined up in two rows, starting from the entrance of Mingyue Hotel and extending outwards. At a glance, there was no end in sight. The passage they formed was under complete martial law. The people were asked to retreat 30 meters away and not approach.

Compared with the previous competition hosted by the Xingluo Empire, Mingdu, as the first city on the continent, can obviously accommodate a larger number of people.

It is natural that the Sun and Moon Empire mobilizes its army to maintain order. The passage consisting of human walls leading to the outside of the city alone required as many as 20,000 soldiers. On the street, there is an invisibly chilling atmosphere.

Not only that, there are several hidden figures in several areas of this human wall. From Jiang Ming's sharp eyes, it can be seen that they are soul masters with cultivation at least at the Soul Douluo level.

As for soul guides and the like, there is no need to say more.

Perhaps influenced by last night, powerful soul guides have been arranged to take charge in various places in the entire Mingdu, and they are all at least level seven soul guides!
Early in the morning, Jiang Ming and his group had breakfast, packed their luggage, and prepared to set off.

No one actually slept the whole night. They were all very curious about what happened outside that caused such a big commotion.

Not only them, but other participating forces in the hotel also had a similar mentality.

Although people were restricted to within thirty meters on both sides of the street, many people still gathered to watch the participating teams coming out of Mingyue Hotel.

For safety reasons, Beibei and other students representing Tang Sect in the competition have been staying together with the people from Shrek Academy. This has resulted in Jiang Ming's team appearing to have a much larger number of people than other participating teams.

"Hey, look, why are there so many people in that participating team?"

"Yeah, there are too many people. Alas, they don't seem to be wearing the same clothes."

"That's just two teams that are close to each other."

"Hey, isn't that the Shrek Academy team?! The leader in the front, isn't that Jiang Ming? The one from the last competition?"

"This is even more handsome than what it looked like on the Soul Guide Recorder!"

The sharp-eyed people have recognized Jiang Ming.

As the most powerful lineup in the history of Shrek Academy in the last competition, and also the strongest lineup of soul masters since the inception of the competition, the names of all the members of Jiang Ming's team have spread throughout the continent.

Especially Jiang Ming, as the captain of Shrek Academy in the last competition, almost all the academy forces on the continent paid special attention to Jiang Ming.

However, if it were just this, Jiang Ming would not be a household name.

Although the competition is exciting, its coverage is limited after all, and it relies on people who have actually watched the competition to spread the news.

However, with the emergence of soul guide recorders, the scenes of the competition were recorded, and Zhang Lexuan led the caravans in Shrek City to sell these soul guide recorders that stored the scenes of the competition to various parts of the continent.

All the players with outstanding performances in the competition were directly noticed by everyone on the continent.

As the most shining player in that exciting competition, Jiang Ming naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Countless cheers and screams suddenly rang out, startling the others in the team.

Jiang Ming was very calm. This situation was similar to that of the stars in his previous life, but he had never thought that he would be able to enjoy such treatment one day.

He maintained his cool demeanor and walked towards the competition venue without even glancing at the cheering people.

This instead made the people even more excited. The soldiers who were maintaining order tried their best to stop them from breaking through the defense line due to some overly emotional people.

Under the strict formation of the soldiers, the participating teams, with nearly people, spread out and left Mingdu.

The competition venue is on the outskirts on the east side of Mingdu. You can see it from a distance after leaving the buildings of Mingdu.

At this time, this empty suburb was already crowded with people.

There are at least over 30,000 soldiers here maintaining order, dividing the crowd into areas and isolating them from the competition venue.

On the north side of the competition venue, there is a high platform, which is built entirely with metal splicing. It looks like it can accommodate thousands of people, and the competition venue looks even more imposing.

The competition stage is ten meters high and over a hundred meters in diameter, estimated to be about one hundred and twenty meters.

The wide platform itself actually exudes a silvery metallic luster and looks like it is made of metal.

Even just laying a layer of metal plates is a huge undertaking! Not to mention that the entire platform looks seamless.

What was even more bizarre was that there seemed to be a circle of grooves around the competition venue, and in that groove, a transparent light curtain with a slight yellowish hue rose high into the sky. Looking up into the sky, there was no end in sight. How much soul power would be needed to support this!
Moreover, just from the light curtain next to the competition stage, one can see the difference from the previous competition.

In this case, at least you won't win by simply knocking your opponent off the ring. You must defeat your opponent completely.

In addition to the competition stage, extending outward from the competition stage, every hundred meters, there is a circle of huge soul guidance screens held in the air by high shelves. Each screen is over twenty square meters in size.

Currently, only the Sun-Moon Empire has this level of soul guide technology.

There are more than one hundred such screens around the competition stage, which can perfectly display all the images on the competition stage so that all the audience can see them clearly.

The players' rest area is on the east side of the competition stage and is mainly divided into two areas.

Near the competition stage was a canopy that could accommodate about 20 participating teams. The rest were just some open-air chairs, arranged in rows at the back of both sides of the canopy.

Judging from the reception by the Sun-Moon Empire this time, all the details highlight the class differences. Those pergola rest areas are undoubtedly reserved for famous academies and clans.

There is no doubt that as the champions of the previous competition, the people of Shrek Academy sat in the pergola, while Beibei, Huo Yuhao and others who represented the Tang Sect were undoubtedly led to the bench area, and it was in a very remote corner.

For this kind of treatment, even the Tang Sect members who didn't care much about it looked unhappy. Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nan Nan's pretty faces showed anger. But there was nothing they could do about it. After all, the Tang Sect's current status on the mainland was really not that good.

The sky was already bright, and the rising sun from the east shone on everyone, as if all the contestants were coated with a layer of gold. There were so many teams coming to participate that it took half an hour just to take their seats. The noisy voices from the people in the distance continued to be heard.

The people from Shrek Academy were the first to take their seats. After they sat down, the other participating teams also took their seats one after another.

There are several teams that Jiang Ming is more familiar with, including the Xingluo national team led by Xu Jiujiu, and the Benti Sect team led by Princess Vina.

When Long Aotian and Vina passed by Jiang Ming, they nodded in a friendly manner.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Jiang Ming with a very complicated look. She simply couldn't believe that this 25-year-old guy already possessed the strength of an Extreme Douluo.

But there was no need for Grandma Manyi to lie to her.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked in a certain direction.

It was a very mysterious team, all dressed in black, wearing conical hats on their heads, with black veils hanging down, covering their faces.

Holy Spirit Religion!
As if sensing Jiang Ming's gaze, the leader of the team turned and looked at Jiang Ming.

The moment he saw Jiang Ming, his eyes suddenly darkened and his expression became quite ugly.

Many people have not yet figured out what happened last night, but as the direct victim, the Holy Spirit Church quickly and efficiently found out the whole story.

Then there is no more then.

Scorpion-Tiger Douluo disappeared, and Ghost Shadow Douluo also disappeared in the battle. With the lineup of strong men that Jiang Ming brought with him last night, the two of them had most likely gone to meet the god of death.

In just one night, the Holy Spirit Cult lost two Titled Douluo-level warriors! One of them was even a Level 96 Super Douluo!

This does not include the leader who is still in a coma at the Holy Church headquarters!
And all this is because of Jiang Ming!

Looking at the man in black with murderous eyes, Jiang Ming raised his eyes calmly and suddenly smiled.

The smile was very sincere and looked very warm on Jiang Ming's handsome and sunny face.

Unfortunately, to the people of the Holy Spirit Church, this is just a mockery!

The leader in black clenched his fists and kept telling himself not to be angered.

Not to mention that there must be no other fighting besides the competition in this occasion. Even if he took action, he would definitely not be a match for Jiang Ming.

"Qiu'er."

Jiang Ming turned his head and looked at Wang Qiuer who was sitting next to him.

"We probably won't run into the Holy Spirit Church in the next few days. But if we do, remember, if you are absolutely sure, hit them as hard as you can!"

After what happened yesterday, Jiang Ming could imagine how angry those people from the Holy Spirit Church were feeling.

This kind of energy cannot be released in other places in Mingdu, but it can be vented on the competition stage!

They will definitely kill the evil soul master with their methods!

This might be the case against other teams in the competition, not to mention the three teams of Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Body Sect.

"Ah."

Wang Qiuer nodded.

For her, it is not difficult to deal heavy blows.

Jiang Ming is still very confident in Wang Qiuer's strength. Even the evil soul masters at the same level will not be her opponent.

"I am quite confident in your strength, but if you encounter someone from the Holy Spirit Church and cannot defeat them, you must admit defeat immediately without any hesitation, understand?"

Jiang Ming looked at the other contestants behind Wang Qiuer.

Wang Qiuer is now a Soul Emperor. With the Golden Dragon Spear and some methods he gave her, he is not worried.

But the others only have the cultivation level of Soul King, and have no advantage at all when facing evil soul masters.

If they fall into a disadvantage and refuse to admit defeat, extremely cruel consequences will await them.

Even, you may die on the competition stage!

"Especially you, Dai Huabin, don't be stubborn!"

Jiang Ming focused on Dai Huabin.

Wang Qiuer is more stubborn than Dai Huabin, but she is strong enough.

But Dai Huabin, at the age of seventeen, has the cultivation level of a Soul King, which is quite good. But if he encounters an evil soul master with the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, he will only die if he does not admit defeat!
Dai Huabin nodded silently.

“Look, what is that?”

Zhang Lexuan's voice attracted Jiang Ming's attention.

Under the rostrum on the north side, a team of special soldiers were coming quickly.

These soldiers were all dressed in golden uniforms, but were not equipped with any weapons.

These golden-clad guards all looked to be at least thirty years old. Each of them was introverted and had obvious fluctuations of soul power.

The team of about five hundred people made no sound as they moved forward. The morning sun shone on them, and the golden light shone very dazzlingly.

After arriving under the rostrum, these people immediately dispersed and surrounded the rostrum.

About fifty of them stood still, and with clanging sounds, soul-guided cannons appeared one after another, with their eerie and intimidating muzzles pointing outward.

The other golden-clad guards also released different soul guides, forming strange formations. Among them, about ten heavy artillery pieces attracted Jiang Ming's attention the most.

With his keen eyesight, he could tell that these heavy artillery were at least at the seventh-level soul guide level.

Soul mentor team!

This is the true foundation of the Sun-Moon Empire as an empire with advanced soul guides!
