Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 171 Self Strategy
Star Luo City, as the capital of the Star Luo Empire and the largest city in the empire, has been experiencing congestion for several days in a row.

The reason why cities are crowded is that there are crowds of people on every street.

The two semi-finals of the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition have ended. From the moment the semi-finals ended, people began to line up outside Xingluo Square. Some people even lined up for two days and two nights. All for the sake of witnessing the grand final of the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. Perhaps, this will be an event that they will talk about with great relish in their lives.

What's more, although this final will be divided into team battles, individual elimination battles and 223 tactics, it will all be completed within one day! What a wonderful spectacle, even if it is a little more difficult, it is worth it.

In order to maintain order in the imperial capital, the Xingluo Empire urgently dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to the city to maintain order, and all shops in the city extended their business hours. In order to supply the sudden surge in the number of foreign population, various resources were urgently allocated from surrounding cities. For a time, the prosperity of Xingluo City had reached an unprecedented level.

There is no doubt that the economic benefits brought to the Star Luo Empire by this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition are inestimable. No wonder the major empires competed to host the competition, but in the end they had to compromise with each other, and each competition was held with the country as the host.

The two teams in the finals, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, undoubtedly represent the most powerful forces on the continent today. The anticipation for this final can be imagined.

The weather today is not very good, with overcast clouds and even some light mist shrouding Xingluo City. Occasionally, some thin raindrops fall from the sky, bringing a bit of chill to this magnificent city.

However, no matter how cold the weather is, it cannot dilute the enthusiasm of people from all over the city. Because, the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition are about to begin. A peak showdown will be staged today.

At this time, the two teams that were about to stage a peak showdown were walking on the way to Xingluo Square. Along the way, soldiers stood in rows, blocking the people who shouted their names loudly. Many people who were unable to enter Xingluo Square gathered on both sides of this passage and watched the two teams closely.

Faced with the cheers of the people, even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng began to get nervous, and Beibei and others were even more so. In this situation, if they lost the game, how much abuse would they have to face!
Thinking of this, Beibei and others became even more nervous.

Not only Shrek was nervous, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was also nervous, and even under greater pressure.

Because this is the closest time in the history of their academy to the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition! Their strength is unprecedentedly strong, the strongest in history, while the Shrek Academy team is incomplete. Although there are two Soul Emperors, there is only one Soul King! It is not an exaggeration to describe such an opportunity as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is precisely because they are so close to the championship that they become more nervous.

Even Xiao Hongchen, who had always been very arrogant, had a tense face.

The look towards Ji Lin was full of fighting spirit.

Compared to the nervousness of her teammates and brother, Meng Hongchen was very calm, but her eyes were always on Ji Lin.

She had ignored the cheers of the audience around her, and just looked at Ji Lin's profile, thinking to herself, Wow! His profile is also very good-looking, with the same silver hair and blue eyes as me. We are simply a perfect match made in heaven. He is twelve years old! Two years younger than me. I wonder if he likes people who are older than him.

Thinking of this, the heart of the 14-year-old girl who had just begun to fall in love could not help but warm up slightly. Ever since she met Ji Lin, his shadow had been echoing in her mind. She watched every game of Ji Lin. The stronger Ji Lin performed, the stronger her affection for him became, and she gradually became unable to extricate herself. She completed the self-attack strategy.

The red carpet leads to the lounge area and then surrounds the competition stage.

Ji Lin looked at the top of the city wall. At first glance, he saw Emperor Xu Jiawei and Princess Jiujiu, who was waving and greeting him. Beside the two of them, he also saw an acquaintance. It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing a golden armor and no helmet, revealing his regular facial features, deep eye sockets, and twin pupils in his azure blue eyes. His face looked a little thin, but the whole person had a metallic texture. Handsome, resolute, upright, and with an iron-blooded temperament, he stood next to Emperor Xu Jiawei.

Ji Lin recognized that it was the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao whom he had met before.

Ji Lin reached out and patted Dai Yuheng on the shoulder in front of him. Dai Yuheng turned around and looked at Ji Lin in surprise. Ji Lin did not say anything, but just pointed to the top of the city wall and motioned him to look over there.

Dai Yuheng looked up and saw Duke Baihu on the top of the city wall. His eyes were filled with excitement. He clenched his fists as he looked at his father on the top of the city wall in the distance.

Duke Baihu Dai Hao just nodded slightly to him, with a look of encouragement in his eyes, and then stopped looking at him. But just this one look filled Dai Yaoheng's heart with fighting spirit, who had taken his father as his role model since childhood, and his previous nervousness was swept away.

Seeing that the players from both teams had entered the rest area, Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei revealed a faint smile and nodded to the Duke of White Tiger beside him.

"Quiet. The game is about to begin. Your Majesty, please speak." Dai Hao shouted in a deep voice. He did not use the amplifying soul guide, but his voice was spread far away. The sonorous and powerful iron-blooded aura came from the city just like that. It spreads out from the head.

"Kill, kill, kill!" All the soldiers who were maintaining order on the scene raised their weapons and shouted at the same time. Suddenly, the entire Xingluo Square was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

It can be seen that the eyes of these soldiers are full of fanaticism. At this moment, they only see the commander standing at the top of the city. Duke Tiger's dominance in the military is even greater than that of the emperor to some extent!
It is no wonder that Xu Jiawei had to abdicate later. The Xingguan lineage was in a period of transition, while the Baihu lineage was growing stronger and stronger, and their prestige in the army had even surpassed that of the emperor. The Xingguan lineage had to step down. After all, their throne was voluntarily given up after the decline of the Baihu lineage. Now the situation has changed, and it is time for them to abdicate.

There was no sign of dissatisfaction on Xu Jiawei's face. As an emperor, he still had some shrewdness.

There was still a smile on his face, and the people's voices quieted down in this solemn atmosphere.

Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo smiled and said, "The last time I witnessed the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition in Xingluo City was twenty years ago. Times have changed. Today, twenty years later, I will once again witness the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. I am very excited. I hope that the players from both sides can present a wonderful game to every spectator. According to convention, the winner of this final will receive three soul bones and a million gold soul coins as rewards. I have selected ten soul bones from my country's treasure house for the final champion to choose. I wanted to ask Brother Dai Hao to personally preside over today's game, but unfortunately, one of the main players on the Shrek Academy side is his eldest son. In order to avoid suspicion, the referee of this game will still be Tiansha Douluo."

"No more words, please join me in watching this duel that will surely go down in history." As the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei finished speaking, a beam of light flashed across the city walls, and the next moment, it appeared in the center of the arena. It was Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu.

Tiansha Douluo glanced at the two contestants, and when he looked at Shrek Academy, his eyes fixed. In the rest area of ​​Shrek, an old man gnawing on a chicken leg suddenly came into his sight.

It was the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo, Taotie Douluo Xuanzi. Tiansha Douluo obviously knew Xuanzi, so his expression was a little shocked.

When Wang Yan saw Xuan Zi, his face lit up with joy. With Xuan Zi's presence during the finals, he could at least guarantee the safety of his students.

And after the finals, Xuanzi will need to protect them as they return to Shrek Academy, after all, they have too many good things with them.

The moment he saw Xuanzi, Wang Yan finally felt relieved.

On the other side, the leader of the Sun and Moon Team followed Tiansha Douluo's gaze and saw Xuanzi. His face changed drastically as well. It was obvious that he also knew Xuanzi. Xuanzi was the strongest person in Shrek Academy. It was not surprising that the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy knew him.

Not only Xuanzi came, but Moon En came as well. After all, the team not only had his great-great-grandson Beibei, but everyone else was also the focus of Shrek Academy. Moon En was really worried about Xuanzi because of his criminal record, so he made the trip himself. However, only Chi Yuan noticed his presence, and everyone else was unaware of it, including all the Douluo worshippers in the Xingluo Empire's Worship Hall. This is the power of the top powerhouses, who can completely ignore the gap in numbers and can assassinate the king at any time. This is the real reason why the major empires have always tolerated Shrek Academy.

The Tiansha Douluo on the stage lost his composure slightly due to the appearance of Master Xuan, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice: "The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, I am Huang Jinxu, and I am the referee of the final. Now I will announce the rules of the final."

Both parties already knew the rules of the game, but they still needed to be announced according to the rules.

As the rules of the game were announced, the atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Square suddenly became tense. Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly became silent, just waiting quietly, everyone stared with wide eyes, even if the game has not started yet, they are unwilling to give up any changes on the field.

Soon, Tiansha Douluo announced the rules of the finals. He finally said, "Now, both sides, get ready. In one minute, the players participating in the team battle will go on stage."

Shrek had already decided on the players who would play.

Wang Yan said with a heavy face: "Come on! You are the strongest."

Ji Lin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Wang Yan, we will win."

On the other side, the team members of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy have also stood up and listened to the final arrangements of the leading teacher.

One minute passed quickly.

The opponents had already walked towards the competition stage, and so did the Shrek Academy. The seven players who appeared in this match were still Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Ji Lin, Wang Qiuer, Beibei, and Xu Sanshi.

The team members from both sides have already appeared on the stage, divided into two lines, standing around the referee Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu.

"I have just announced the rules of the game, so I won't go into details. Both sides retreat and prepare to start. The game ends until no one on one side can continue fighting."

Ma Xiaotao looked at Ma Rulong opposite her, her eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

Ma Rulong's heart sank. As a Soul Emperor, the pressure from Di Ao Academy's captain Jiang Peng was far less than that from Ma Xiaotao now. He didn't know if it was just a psychological effect or if Ma Xiaotao was really several times stronger than Jiang Peng.

The players from both teams slowly retreated. Xiao Hongchen, who was originally very nervous, began to show excitement. He was originally a competitive player. The more nervous he was, the stronger his fighting power would be. Being able to participate in this final as a reserve player, he and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister, had already proved their strong strength. This was also their first appearance in this competition. Being able to be used as a secret weapon, their strength was self-evident.

Both sides were in a state of high concentration. Just as they reached the edge of their respective competition platforms, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu shouted, "The competition begins." The first battle to determine the final winner of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition finally began.

The moment Huang Jinxu shouted the two words, the formations of both sides changed at the same time.

Ma Rulong, who was originally at the front of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, was replaced by a fifth-level soul instructor named Lin Xi. Lin Xi, who was standing at the front, immediately released a soul guide device, which was also a shield, but it looked only the size of an ordinary plate. A light flashed on the metal shield, and a layer of yellow halo spread out, turning into a light shield with a diameter of two meters, which not only protected him, but also protected the others behind the Sun-Moon team.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a soul guide specially prepared to guard against Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement.

Princess Jiujiu proved with practical actions that Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement could not penetrate the shield, so the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was well prepared.

The lineup of Shrek Academy also changed. Xu Sanshi and Ling Luochen, who were originally at the end, stood at the front and center respectively. Instead, Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer were at the back. The two of them were holding hands and releasing their martial spirits at the same time. Wang Qiuer's martial spirit possessed her and she turned into a golden dragon girl. Ji Lin did not summon the Heavenly Fire Judge, but used his second martial spirit, the Ice and Snow Girl, for the first time in the competition.
