Chapter 189 Douluo Continent Classic: Opening!

Time is like a horse, but in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed by.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling went back to Notting City again to celebrate the New Year with Old Jack.

Before returning to Heaven Dou, Tang San also left behind the child balls of the parent soul-guided photographic ball and a large number of soul-guided energy storage devices. He taught Old Jack how to use them, and left an instruction manual - mostly schematic diagrams of operations.

In this way, Old Jack can broadcast the scene in the village, so that the villagers and children in the village can also witness the battle between the soul masters.

After all, people in small villages have to be careful about spending even a copper soul coin.

Each of the soul guidance energy storage devices that Tang San left to Old Jack was very small, only about the size of a thumb. The whole box was enough for him to use for three to five years...

···

After returning to the Tiandou Royal Academy, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling were called away by Huo Wu who was waiting at the door, and then went to the Tiandou Great Spirit Arena.

"Has the elite competition started?" Xiao Wu asked.

"But we have to gather and go to Wuhun City. This year's competition, whether it is the qualifying round or the promotion round, will be held there." Huo Wu told the rules of this year's mainland elite competition, "I originally thought it was the temporary Wuhun Palace. I had the intention, but in fact, I heard from Teacher Qin Ming that the royal families of the two empires and the deans of the regular colleges have known about it for a long time, and they only told us during this period."

"Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to catch up."

"Because we are leaving this afternoon."

Tiandou City is quite far away from Wuhun City, so we really need to set off in advance. In addition, Tiandou City has many academies, so together, the size of the team is quite large.

If you take action, it won't be fast.

Go to the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena and arrive at the Tiandou Royal Academy area. Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, Osluo, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, Lan Yinzi and others are all there. , plus Huo Wu, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling and Tang San, all thirteen members of the Tiandou Royal Team were present.

In addition, there is the Tiandou Royal Team 2 nearby, led by Wang Chen. In addition to the seven regular members, there are five other substitutes, adding up to a total of twelve people.

In other areas, there are the Four Elements Academy, Canghui Academy, Shrek Academy, Mars Academy, Elephant Academy, Barak Academy and other colleges.

Among them, Mars Academy, Xiangjia Academy, etc. were also in Tiandou City, but Huo Wu was not familiar with these two academies, and the reputation was not as good as Four Elements Academy, so he did not take Tang San to visit.

As for Barak Academy, it is within the Kingdom of Barak, not in Tiandou City. At this time, it came to Tiandou City together with senior colleges from other kingdoms.

Observing the different logos and uniforms of different colleges, and counting them in detail, Tang San discovered that there were fifty-two high-level spirit master colleges present.

The Star Luo Empire is comparable to the Tiandou Empire, so the number of high-level soul master academies must be almost the same.

Combined, the two empires only have a hundred or so high-level soul master academies.

According to the census recorded by the Tiandou Empire a hundred years ago, there were three million residents in the empire...

Although this census was taken three hundred years ago, and there must be a large number of people who have not registered as household registration. For comparison, the data is not accurate, but it can be roughly deduced from this: the number of soul masters is put into the population of the entire continent. , not even 2% (assuming a college has a thousand soul masters, including students and teachers).

If you just look at this data, one in fifty, I think it might be okay. Among fifty people, one soul master can appear.

But the fact is that among a thousand people, you may not necessarily see a soul master. After all, soul masters basically stay with soul masters and rarely pay attention to the lives of ordinary people.

For example, a small village like Holy Soul Village has a population of about a hundred households, which is not bad, but under normal circumstances, you only see a soul master - a member of the Wuhun Palace who helps villagers awaken their Wuhun - once a year.

[There is a long way to go. Just a few soul masters cannot change the situation on the mainland. Either 99% of the soul masters will disappear, or 99% of the people on the mainland will be able to practice. This obviously The ratio of one-twentieth calculated from the maximum point on the surface is not good. 】

This is not because Tang San is pitiful, but he feels that with such a ratio, it would take more than ten thousand years to achieve the goal of [conquering the stars and the sea]?

However, let’s take the first step before talking about anything else...

···

Right in front of the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena, after Emperor Xueye gave an impassioned speech, Salas, the platinum leader of the Spirit Hall, spoke.

Compared to Emperor Xue Ye's long speech, Salas was much simpler. He simply congratulated various colleges in the Tiandou Empire for their good results in the competition.

Then, before departure, there was an exhibition match.

The so-called exhibition match is for Tiandou Royal Academy to show other colleges that its own academy is the number one academy in Tiandou Royal Academy.

Tiandou Royal Academy has two teams.

According to the usual rules, the main team is sent to the finals. Although the venue of this year's competition has changed, it is still the same.

The Tiandou Royal Team that performed on stage was naturally the Tiandou Royal Team 2.

"We invite the members of Tiandou Royal Team 2 to come on stage!"

As the host shouted with a soul-guiding loudspeaker similar to a microphone, the members of the Tiandou Royal Team stood up one after another. With confidence on their faces, they went down to the nearby passage and entered the soul-fighting venue one by one.

"Actually, we can also go up, but this opportunity is usually given to the second team."

Huo Wu explained to Tang San and others in a low voice, "Compared to our first team, the members of the second team were either born into the royal family, or are closely related to the royal family. Although the combat power of our first team is strong, it is not completely in line with the heavens." The Dou Imperial Family is on the same boat, with families and sects as the main ones, and the three of you are now commoners..."

"From this point of view, although Emperor Xue Ye appreciates our team more, he trusts the second team of Tiandou Royal Family the most, because their ancestors conquered the world of Tiandou together with the ancestors of the Xue family. "

"After all, we mainly focus on cultivating martial arts. Even if we are finally awarded a title by Emperor Xue Ye, in most cases, it will only be a famous and well-paid official, without a fief in the actual sense. At most, it will be given to a person. Set up a manor or something like that.”

"Because currently, the rich cities and towns in Tiandou already have owners. If we want our own fiefdom, we can either wait for a certain noble to make a mistake and step down, and then inherit his territory, or we can lead people to open up the territory ourselves. There are deep mountains and old forests, wild wilderness ridges and the like that have not yet been developed by the empire.”

"So, this exhibition match is actually to build momentum for the members of the second team, let them show their faces, show their strength, and prove that they have the corresponding strength to inherit the fiefdom and status left by their ancestors."

"Of course, that doesn't count Wang Chen. He is the bodyguard of Prince Xue Qinghe. He was only forced to join the team in order to make Tiandou Team 2 perform better in the following games."

After Huo Wu explained the inner secret, Salas began to select another team to participate in the exhibition match. The purpose was to serve as a stepping stone for the second team of Tiandou.

Although Salas didn't want to do it, Emperor Xueye invited him personally, so he still had to give face.

Then, Salas pulled out a ball of paper from the box with the words "Shrek Academy" written on it.

"We invite the participating teams from Shrek Academy to come on stage!"

Shrek?

Hearing these three words, Tang San was slightly stunned, and smiled secretly: "Tsk, I didn't join Shrek Academy, and Salas didn't deliberately target him this time. I didn't expect that I still got into Shrek Academy. It's really a fate."

And when the seven people from Shrek Academy came on the stage, almost all the teachers and students in the academy started to complain.

Just because their team uniforms are so weird, they are yellow and green and shit green.

Yufeng smiled from ear to ear: "Haha, Xiangxiang, look, Shrek Academy's clothes are so ugly. If I were wearing such clothes, I wouldn't dare go out. How dare they appear in public, and, they Are there advertisements on your back, chest, and shoulders?"

"Indeed, that guy who is as fat as a ball looks so ugly." Bai Chenxiang was mostly with Yu Feng during training. The relationship between the two has also become closer, and now they have confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Oslo interjected: "It's also a kind of courage to be able to play in something like that."

"It sounds like that's true. Why don't you put it on before we finally compete?" Yufeng put his hand on Oslo's shoulder and suggested with a smile.

"Go! I don't want it!" Oslo slapped the other person's hand away.

It's one thing for people who admire Shrek to dare to wear it in such a big event; it's another thing to wear it yourself.

This is not to be confused.

"I'm not poor or crazy, so I don't need to put small advertisements on my clothes just to make people laugh."

At this time, Ning Fengzhi, as the "deputy" of Emperor Xue Ye, began to draw lots to select the venue for the competition.

This is thanks to Tang San's theory of diversifying the playing field.

At least, Tang San has used his theory to change the spirit master world to a certain extent...

"Desert venue!"

Ning Fengzhi won the desert venue.

Suddenly, in the spirit fighting arena, the conventional arena descended, revealing a deep opening, and then, a competition venue hundreds of meters long and wide, covered with yellow sand, emerged from the ground.

After both sides came on the court, they both felt uncomfortable.

Stepping on the yellow sand is completely different from stepping on the ground. Whether walking, running, or jumping, it takes more effort and soul power.

Especially Ma Hongjun, who was on Shrek's side, sank into the sand close to his knees. Every step he took required more energy to be expended.

"Damn, what the hell are the suggestions from the master of martial arts theory? This kind of venue is completely restricting us bird soul masters. When the competition officially starts, I have to move faster, and I have to waste my soul power and keep flying in the sky." Ma Hongjun complained that for a soul master like him, flying also requires extra soul power.

In the later stage, when the soul power is high, it can be said that the soul power consumed by flying is negligible, but for him who is only at level 30, flying all the time consumes a lot of soul power.

"Now, both parties are asked to report each other's names, martial arts, and levels to show respect." The referee said, "This is also the time for you to activate your martial arts."

As the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy, they naturally introduced themselves first.

Wang Chen took the lead and said: "Wang Chen, twenty years old, martial soul: Death Scythe, level 45 melee control type and attack type soul master."

After Wang Chen, there are other members, but they are all Soul Sects, none of them are Soul Sects.

On Shrek's side, Mu Tian stared intently at Wang Chen, a similar person... He once thought about joining forces with him to deal with Tang San, but after learning that he was Xue Qinghe's personal guard, he gave up.

Now that he can take refuge in Qian Renxue, it would be strange not to backstab a fellow countryman like him.

In this cruel world of Douluo, it is better to believe in the original Tang San than to believe in other time travellers.

Wang Chen also thought about cooperating with Mu Tian, ​​but considering that he was a member of the Qibao Glazed Sect, he gave up the plan... The positions were different. If they cooperated, with Qian Renxue's keenness, he would definitely discover - Qian Renxue's control The desire is extremely strong. Over the years, Wang Chen has already understood this and does not dare to test it again.

Therefore, one more time traveler means one more competitor, so it is better to eliminate them.

Next, Shrek introduced himself.

Dai Mubai: Seventeen years old, martial spirit: White Tiger, forty-level melee and field-controlling attack-type spirit master - after confirming that he had really lost his ability to compete, he gave up on himself for a while, and after regaining his strength, he did not return to Star Luo. , but the cultivation also relaxed, and he barely reached the Soul Sect.

Mu Tian: Fifteen years old, martial spirit: Haoyue, level 39 melee field control, physical defense type soul master - full of innate soul power, martial soul was once hosted by Austin Griffin, refining the efficiency of heaven and earth energy Yes, but due to Austin Griffin's transfer and his misjudgment of himself, he forcibly absorbed a thousand-year-level soul ring, which caused his body to recover for a period of time. Even if he practiced hard afterwards, he was still one step behind the soul sect.

Oscar: Fifteen years old, martial soul: sausage, level 35, melee field control type soul master, food-based amplification type auxiliary soul master - full of innate soul power, since he was seven years old, he was accepted as a disciple by Yu Xiaogang. After cultivating it, although the martial soul is like a sausage, it possesses the offensive soul skills that only fighting soul masters have. The development is skewed, but with the eight spider spears attached to the soul bones and the powerful physique, it can fight against powerful attacking souls of the same level. Master, as long as the opponent's martial spirit is not particularly powerful, he can defeat him relatively easily.

Ma Hongjun: Fourteen years old, martial spirit: Evil Fire Phoenix (crossed out) Evil Turkey (corrected by the referee), thirty-level level 2 long-range output power attack type soul master - Dean Shrek, Flender's disciple, development and There is not much difference in the original work, except that he did not take the Phoenix cockscomb jelly grass and was also infested by evil fire.

Then came the healing auxiliary soul master, Jiangzhu; the assassination-type agile attack soul master, Jing Ling; and Huang Yuan, who was relatively balanced in all aspects.

As for Tai Lung, he is a close-combat, control-type and aggressive type, the same type as Dai Mubai, Mu Tian, ​​and Oscar. He cannot play for the time being and can only be a substitute.

"three minutes."

As the referee gave the order, the battle began, but Mu Tian raised three fingers towards Wang Chen, "In just three minutes, I will knock you out of this situation."

Although the distance between the two teams was a hundred meters, Wang Chen heard it and sneered: "Haha, you are really bragging. Do you think you have taken Tang San's place?"

Although the rest of the Tiandou Royal Team 2 were useless, he was not, and there were more Soul Sects on Shrek's side, and there were only two Soul Sects.

Without Tang San giving you the fairy grass, how could Shrek defeat them in three minutes?

Do you really think that the Second Team of the Tiandou Royal Team is as useless as in the original work?

The battle is about to break out.

Both teams worked hard and started to charge.

Members of various senior academies sitting in the audience were watching the two sides fighting in the sky full of yellow sand.

Shrek's side is very unsuited to that kind of desert environment, and among the seven-person team, the ability coordination between them is not so tacit.

Individually, they are quite strong, and can outperform most soul masters at the same level, but the cooperation between them is still the same as before, and there are no outstanding tactics.

And the Tiandou Royal Team 2?

Needless to say, the cooperation is even worse. After all, they usually spend much more time playing than practicing.

However, their martial soul talents were actually on par with Shrek's seven people in a short period of time.

For most low-level senior academies, these two teams are strong opponents, but for the members of the four major element academies and the Tiandou Royal Team, Shrek, in addition to Dai Mubai, Mu Tian, ​​and Oscar , except for Wang Chen, these four people in Tiandou Team 2 are still somewhat good, the rest of them are all rookies pecking each other.

"Tian Heng, if you go alone, how many minutes can you knock down all fourteen of them?" Tang San turned to Yu Tianheng who was sitting behind him and asked.

"Me?" Yu Tianheng put his hands on his hips and smiled confidently, "In the normal state, it may take ten minutes to solve it. The death sickle is of good quality, and the white tiger is also okay. The mutated fire lizard is too good. It’s also a bit tricky, and the sausage... was used as a weapon by Oslo’s relatives, so it might cause me some trouble when I’m not expecting it.”

"If overclocking is turned on, it can be solved in three minutes."

Oslo: "...Vice Captain, please don't talk nonsense. Although Oscar and I are both surnamed Oslo, he and I are really not relatives. The surname Oslo is used by many people in the Tiandou Empire. Yes."

"Sorry, I thought you and Oscar were distant relatives." Yu Tianheng apologized. After all, he usually didn't pay much attention to the surname issue in the Tiandou Empire. He just thought that Oscar and Oslo's names were very similar.

"It's not the vice-captain's fault. After all, the surname Os originated from the Os family three hundred years ago. Later, it was suppressed by the three major sects. In the end, it was fragmented, and the various branches were scattered throughout the Tiandou Empire." Luo talked about some past events recorded in the family, "It can be said that people with the surname Aos were indeed relatives three hundred years ago, but three hundred years later, the blood connections were too strong and there was no contact with each other at all." ··It can be said that except for the surname, there is really nothing the same.”

"Sorry." Yu Tianheng apologized again. After all, he was from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, one of the three major sects.

"Ahem, what's there to be sorry for? I don't even know what happened three hundred years ago. Our Os family, whose martial spirit is the Ghost Leopard, only has a few words left, and not many clan members care about it."

Three hundred years ago?

Tang San recalled the experience of going to the Infinite Desert. Huo Feng of the Huo family had said that Wuhun Palace had organized an expedition three hundred years ago, and the entire army was wiped out except for three titled Douluo.

The Os family from three hundred years ago may have been involved... Maybe one of the three surviving titled Douluo was born in the Os family... Perhaps, the destruction of the Os family was related to the title Douluo. What did Douluo get from the golden ancient tree...
