Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

After the announcement of the start, people began to enter from all directions of the Douluo Square, gathering into the arena like long dragons under the guidance of soldiers.

Wanting to watch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is not free, after all, the cost of hosting such a grand event is so high that even the emperor would feel the pinch. To maintain the operation of such a large country, there is no surplus grain in the national treasury. So naturally, you have to recoup some of the costs in other areas.

The entrance fee per day is not too expensive, only two gold soul coins. This is nothing for those merchants and nobles. Even ordinary people can afford it with a bit of effort.

In fact, two gold soul coins are just the basic price. The closer to the competition stage, the more expensive the entrance fee. The main source of revenue is here.

Especially the viewing area closest to the competition stage, each person has to pay thousands of gold soul coins to enter.

This place is obviously designed to fleece those rich people.

The official can receive about five million gold soul coins per day just from the entrance fees. That's 150 million gold soul coins in a month!

After deducting the cost of manpower and materials, the empire can net 120 million gold soul coins from this event just from the entrance fees.

Such a business is simply a sure profit, so the official is naturally willing to host it. They even wish they could change the 10-year term to once a year. Fleecing the sheep every year.

But considering that too frequent events would not only be unsightly, but also reduce public interest, and those rich fools are not stupid and would not be willing to spend this money every year, they finally gave up.

While the audience entered, the contestants from many academies also arrived and stood in the competition area.

Wuhun Academy was one of them.

Led by Qian Renxue, everyone wore a white-based team uniform, inlaid with gorgeous crystal chips forming patterned designs, reflecting colorful light in the sun. On the back were the words 'Wuhun'.

This team uniform is magnificent without being vulgar. Wearing this outfit, even an ugly duckling can instantly transform into a white swan. A typical case of clothes making the man.

As the perennial favorite to win the championship, the number one academy on the continent, Wuhun Academy naturally occupies the first row of all academies. No academy has any objection to this.

After all, Wuhun Academy is famous, even if it doesn't win the championship every time, it is a regular on the champion's podium, and no one can deny the academy's status.

At this time, most academies were secretly praying not to encounter Wuhun Academy or Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the hot favorites to win the championship, in the first round. Otherwise, it would almost be like announcing that they were eliminated from the start.

The audience's entry lasted for a full hour because there were too many people.

The originally empty Douluo Square was now overcrowded. Fortunately, there were iron fences separating the area into sections, coupled with the maintenance of order by the soldiers, which made it seem less chaotic.

"Silence."

A huge voice suddenly spread throughout the arena.

Upon hearing this voice, all the soldiers stood at attention and raised their spears in unison. Immediately, a sense of murderous aura spread throughout the arena. The originally noisy Douluo Square suddenly became quiet.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Accompanied by the master of ceremonies' shout, amplified throughout the arena by a sound amplification soul device.

"哗——"

The people immediately knelt down in large numbers, tens of thousands of people making the same neat movements at the same time, the scene was indeed very spectacular!

The soldiers knelt on one knee, and those participating academies had received accurate notification in advance, allowing them not to kneel, but they needed to bow to show respect to the emperor.

After all, as the nominal controller of the Douluo Continent, the emperor's position is self-evident. What's more, this emperor is not only a descendant of the gods, the inheritor of a god-given martial soul, but also a ninety-ninth level Limit Douluo!

Now, both power and strength are in his hands.

Even the noble Pope of the Spirit Hall treats the Emperor of the Douluo Empire as an equal, without relying on his identity as a representative of the gods in the world to do anything special.

"Rise, everyone."

Xue Donglai's voice was calm, without using a sound amplification soul device, but using his own profound cultivation to directly amplify and expand his voice!

Demonstrating extremely profound soul power cultivation, letting outsiders know the power of His Majesty the Emperor!

Hearing this, the people stood up one after another, and the students from the participating academies also straightened their backs and turned their eyes to the top of the imperial city in front of them.

There, the magnificent and vast emerald color, a graceful and noble swan phantom, continued to stand out as His Majesty the Emperor approached, and bursts of cool breeze brushed across all directions... Everyone only felt refreshed! At the same time, the fatigue, discomfort, and all negative states were swept away, restoring them to their full strength!

Just this one action, those on the scene who had experienced the baptism of this life-filled breeze, those who were sick were cured, and those who were not sick were strengthened! Everyone could feel the benefits.

To bless and heal so many people at once, but His Majesty the Emperor still seemed to have plenty of energy to spare, the power of the God-level Emerald Swan Martial Soul was evident.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the blessing!"

Many people on the scene who had recovered from that ethereal and comfortable feeling could not help but shout loudly. Their faces were filled with fanaticism! The rest who had not completely woken up also subconsciously shouted under the influence of the surrounding people.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly brought to a climax!

At this time, Xue Donglai, as the Emperor of the Empire, came to the front of the city wall with the Queen and civil and military officials. Then, he looked at his people with gentle but majestic eyes.

Facing the enthusiastic and respectful gazes of the crowd, Xue Donglai smiled and said: "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is the most important event in the soul master world of our Douluo Continent. Here, on behalf of the Empire, I welcome the representatives of the academies from afar. I hope you will show your due style in the competition in the coming month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The leaders and students of the one hundred and thirty-three academies bowed again.

Xue Donglai also smiled and nodded in their direction. Then, he said loudly: "Now, I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament officially begins!"

His Majesty the Emperor's words unveiled the curtain of this grand event.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

The people shouted in unison, and their passionate emotions were almost instantly mobilized.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of salutes rang out on the city wall, continuing for one hundred and eight rings before stopping.

Douluo Square had become an ocean of excitement and cheers.
