Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 354: No Disguise
The moment this majestic voice sounded.

All the discussions disappeared instantly in this low voice. The entire competition venue and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the viewing area suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

Ji Lin's mouth twitched. Only an Extreme Douluo could exert such a powerful pressure. Obviously, the person who spoke was the Dark Holy Dragon, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao. This was really surprising. Dragon Emperor Douluo personally showed up to boost the momentum of the Sun-Moon Empire, and did not hide the pressure of the Extreme Douluo. This was clearly telling all the Titled Douluos present that there was an Extreme Douluo in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Those below the level of Titled Douluo cannot distinguish the strength of the person making the sound, but Titled Douluo knows very well that this is something only Extreme Douluo can do.

The Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church are no longer prepared to hide. It is obvious that they have enough confidence and are not afraid of the preparations of the former Douluo Three Kingdoms.

This is understandable. After the death of the Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo Moon, there are no more Ultimate Douluos in the mainland. Apart from the hidden sects, the Holy Spirit Sect is almost the number one sect in the Douluo Continent now. With two Ultimate Douluos in charge, victory is guaranteed.

Under the might of Dragon Emperor Douluo, the whole place was silent.

Only then did Orange clear her throat, and her sweet voice spread out through the amplifying soul guide and reached everyone's ears. If Long Xiaoyao's voice was a display of his strongest strength, then Orange's voice was a display of the high technology of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guides.

Dear citizens of the Sun Moon Empire and guests from afar, here, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I welcome you all. At the same time, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I announce that the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition will now begin. "

It was a very simple opening statement, without any unnecessary nonsense or pompous official documents. This was Xu Tianran's style, everything was based on strength. In his opinion, saying one more word of nonsense was disrespectful to him and a waste of time.

"Long live the Regent. Long live the Regent. Long live the Regent." The people of the Sun-Moon Empire knelt on the ground and saluted the Regent, who was in a wheelchair but was about to ascend the throne to become the new generation of emperor.

Xu Tianran gestured to Juzi with a smile on his face. After Juzi sat down beside him, he said calmly, "My dear ministers, please take a seat."

Only then did the ministers of the Sun and Moon Empire dare to sit down. There was a corresponding nameplate in front of each seat, and they could not sit in the wrong seat, as it corresponded to the ministers' status.

The person sitting on the other side of Regent Xu Tianran was not the powerful Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen, but a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with gold edges.

This man had a blank expression and a pale face. What was even more strange was that there seemed to be a layer of mist on his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

The leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, was sitting on the other side of Orange.

"Now let's read out the rules of the competition." A loud voice sounded, and then the rules of this tournament were read out, which were the same as the instructions each team had received.

After the rules were read out, an old man walked to the loudspeaker in front of the rostrum and said loudly: "In the first match of the preliminary stage, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will face the Dragon Slayer Sect. Both sides will select seven players and enter the waiting area."

The waiting area is just in front of the pergola rest area, a special area with seven chairs placed at intervals of 20 meters.

According to the rules of previous competitions, the previous champion should be the first to appear in the first game.

In this competition, Shrek Academy had a bye in the first round, so naturally the second place in the previous session, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, appeared in the first game of the first round. This was undoubtedly a trick played by the Sun Moon Empire.

No wonder the Sun-Moon Empire was so generous and directly gave the opportunity of a bye to Shrek Academy. It turns out they were waiting here!
I don’t know if it was an intentional arrangement, but the opponents of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the first match, the Dragon Slaying Sect and the Zizai Sect, are both unknown sects.

Soon Ji Lin saw Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen walking in the front, followed by a young soul mentor who had also been to Shrek Academy for exchange and study, and they went directly into the waiting area.

From this perspective, all the contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy this year are familiar faces.

The Dragon Slayer Sect, which was unlucky enough to encounter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the first round, has also sent seven people into the waiting area.

However, the seven contestants from the Dragon Slaying Sect looked very confident. They were not intimidated at all by the fact that their opponent was the runner-up of the previous competition. They were full of momentum.

However, it is understandable that not all sects look up to the academy. The teaching in the academy has a time limit, but the sect does not. Entering a sect means staying in the sect for the rest of your life in most cases. Many sects with a long history and heritage have their own unique features.

Although the Dragon Slaying Sect is not well-known, it is also a sect with a thousand-year heritage. It originated from the Douling Empire and is a traditional soul master sect. It looks down on soul guides and academy disciples, thinking that the academy is just a game of playing house, and has a deep-rooted aversion to both.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, with their soul guides and their academy background, made the Dragon Slaying Sect's disciples very disdainful, and they did not feel that this was a losing game at all.

"The referee enters the arena, and the first contestant of each team's individual elimination match comes out." The voice of the old man in charge of the rostrum came out. The referee was an old man in his fifties, and his cultivation level could not be seen before he released his martial spirit.

The first person to take the field from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was Meng Hongchen, which showed how much importance they attached to this first match. It was a matter of reputation for the Sun Moon Empire, so not only did they have to win, they had to win beautifully.

Letting Meng Hongchen be the first to go on stage can be said to be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, a waste of talent.

On the Dragon Slaying Sect's side, a short young man appeared. He had a peculiar appearance, with a flat head and a short but strong body. His palms were particularly large, spread out on both sides of his body like a palm-leaf fan.

At this time, the people watching the battle from a distance continued to remain quiet. The tight time limit meant that they had not yet fully awakened from the previous pressure of Dragon King Douluo.

"Individual knockout matches will end until one party loses combat effectiveness or surrenders, or the referee will decide the outcome. Try not to injure the opponent. Do you understand?" the referee said to both parties in a deep voice.

"I understand." The young man who represented the Dragon Slaying Sect looked tough. After agreeing, he turned around and walked in his own direction without even the most basic etiquette of greeting each other. According to the rules of the competition, both sides must stand at one end of the stage, a hundred meters apart, before the battle begins. This will be fairer to some soul masters and soul instructors who are good at long-range attacks.

Seeing the other party being so rude, Meng Hongchen's eyes flashed coldly. He snorted coldly and turned to the other side of the competition stage.

Soon, both sides stood at one end.

The referee raised his right hand high, and the moment his palm fell, the first battle of the new continental youth soul master competition officially began.

"Bang!" As the referee's right hand fell, a low roar erupted under the feet of the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect. The hard metal ground was dented by him, and his short and strong body shot towards Meng Hongchen like a cannonball.

Although they looked down on soul masters, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect also knew that the first thing to do when fighting a soul master was to get close. At the same time, two yellow, two purple, and one black, five soul rings with the best ratio also rose from the young man's body.

You know, in previous competitions, contestants at the five-ring level were already quite powerful, and only a very small number of top academies could possess six rings.

In the last competition, most of the main players of Shrek Academy were Five-Ring Soul Kings.

Although the Dragon Slaying Sect is not well-known, its thousand-year-old heritage is indeed quite profound. No wonder it looks down on the academy.

The Dragon Slaying Sect had a Five-Ring Soul King right from the start, which made quite a few academies look solemn, because many academies were like the previous class, and the Five-Ring Soul King could be their trump card.

Meng Hongchen raised a slight smile on her lips. She did not use her usual soul guide armor, but walked forward as if she was strolling in the garden.

A circle of ice-blue light spread out from under her feet, and seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, slowly rose from her body, causing all the Dragon Slaying Sect players watching the game to change color.

Except for Shrek Academy and Zizai Gate, who had already known Meng Hongchen's background, all other participating teams were shocked.

You know, in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, which used to be only open to academies, most of the strongest were Soul Emperors. Even Shrek, the historical champion, rarely had Soul Saints under the age of 20 participating. Only occasionally would there be one or two super geniuses who could break through to Soul Saints before the age of 20.

The major sects that originally looked down on the academy and treated it with contempt finally felt the tremendous pressure when they saw the soul ring released by Meng Hongchen.

You must know that Soul Sage is already the high-end combat force of the continent. Soul Sage who possesses the true body of martial soul has unparalleled suppressive power over soul masters below Soul Sage.

Only a few geniuses can ignore this suppression.

Seven rings? Under the age of twenty? Is this really something a soul guide can do? This is what all the sect disciples present thought.

Just as they were wavering, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect had already arrived in front of Meng Hongchen.

Although the soul ring on Meng Hongchen's body caused his pupils to shrink, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, and he had no way to retreat.

"Moo--" A low roar came from the mouth of Dragon Slayer Binian. His short and strong body suddenly swelled up. A pair of thick, sharp horns that curved forward emerged from the thick muscles on both sides of his neck. They were two feet long. The thick and powerful muscles completely burst his shirt, revealing a bronze body that looked as majestic as cast iron.
