UNRIVALED TANG SECT : Sharing Life With Firefly (Doulou 2)-Chapter 121: Dai Hao and Body Sect

Liuxing and the others watched the commotion from a distance, with no intention of intervening.

On one side was Shrek Academy, and on the other was the Body Sect. For the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, it was best if these two factions fought each other.

However, when a disheveled, white-haired old man appeared on Shrek Academy's side, Elder Ma's expression changed. He immediately led Liuxing and the others to take a detour and leave.

"Elder Ma, who was that?"

Back at the Star Emperor Hotel, Meng Hongchen asked curiously, wondering why Elder Ma had hurried them away after seeing the old man from Shrek Academy.

Elder Ma took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, that was the Gluttony Douluo from Shrek Academy, a 98th-level Super Douluo."

"Sss—!"

Xiao Hongchen, Ma Rulong, and the others gasped in shock. Even Xiao Hongchen's grandfather, the master of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, was only a 94th-level Titled Douluo.

The gap between each rank of Titled Douluo was enormous, especially after the 95th rank. Each level up meant a further evolution of the martial soul, and the difference between ranks was even greater than the gap between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo.

Although the combat power of soul engineers wasn't calculated solely based on soul power, take Jing Hongchen as an example. Even though his cultivation was only at the 94th rank, if he could maintain enough distance, he could still fight against a 98th-level Super Douluo.

Of course, the more likely outcome was that he would be defeated in close combat.

The combat power of soul engineers lay in their soul tools, and most of the soul tools effective against Super Douluo were long-range. Thus, soul engineers from the Sun Moon Empire were weak in close combat but formidable at a distance.

If one day the Sun Moon Empire developed close-combat soul tools or humanoid soul tools capable of dealing with Super Douluo, the glorious era of traditional soul masters would come to an end.

Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire and its largest city, had been experiencing overcrowding for several days now.

The two semifinals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament had concluded, and from the moment the semifinals ended, a queue had formed outside Star Luo Square. Some people had even been waiting for two days and two nights.

Their goal was to witness the grand spectacle of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament's finals.

Moreover, although this final would be divided into team battles, individual elimination battles, and the two-two-three battle format, all of it would be completed within a single day!

This was destined to be an intense and thrilling showdown, and many felt that watching it remotely through a screen just wouldn't be the same.

To maintain order in the capital, the Star Luo Empire had urgently dispatched ten thousand elite soldiers into the city.

All shops in the city extended their business hours, and resources were urgently transported from surrounding major cities to meet the sudden surge in population. For a time, the prosperity of Star Luo City reached unprecedented levels.

Undoubtedly, the economic benefits brought to the Star Luo Empire by this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament were immeasurable. No wonder the empires competed to host the tournament, only to eventually compromise and take turns hosting it, with each iteration being hosted by a different nation.

The two finalists, Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, undoubtedly represented the most powerful forces on the continent. The anticipation for this final was palpable.

However, due to Shrek Academy's incomplete lineup, the odds in the underground betting market heavily favored the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, with a 6.5 to 3.5 advantage over Shrek Academy.

But no one thought the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was taking advantage of Shrek Academy's situation.

Although Shrek Academy was fielding an incomplete team, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy clearly had no intention of sending their main team either. Instead, they were sending their elite reserve team to face Shrek Academy's incomplete lineup.

This approach earned the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy a lot of goodwill. Being willing to relinquish their advantage and face Shrek Academy on equal terms was something few other academies could do.

The occurrence of this situation left some people with sour expressions.

The weather today wasn't great. A light drizzle fell from the sky, and a thin mist enveloped the city, bringing with it a chill.

But no matter how cold it was, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the people gathered in Star Luo City from all directions.

Because the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament was about to begin. A peak showdown would take place today.

At this moment, the two teams about to engage in this peak showdown were walking toward Star Luo Square.

Along the way, soldiers stood in formation, holding back the cheering crowds calling out their names. Many people who couldn't enter Star Luo Square gathered along the sides of the path to get a closer look at the two teams.

Seeing the infatuated girls shouting Liuxing's name, Liuying's face darkened, clearly unhappy.

Liuxing chuckled and pinched Liuying's cheek, saying, "Look, you have more fans."

He pointed to the crowd holding up banners, where the characters "Liuying" shone brightly.

Liuying pouted and said, "I don't care who has more fans!"

Meng Hongchen laughed softly and patted Liuxing's shoulder, saying, "What Liuying means is that you're too dazzling."

Liuxing shrugged helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it! When someone was too outstanding, it was impossible to hide. People supported him, could he really be unhappy about that?

It could be said that making it to the finals, standing on such a grand stage, every contestant had fans supporting them.

As the final approached, everyone began to feel the tension.

For the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, this was their closest chance at the championship. For Shrek Academy, facing the formidable Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, they were also worried about whether they could uphold the glory of Shrek Academy.

The closer they got to the championship throne, the more tense they became.

Even someone as proud as Xiao Hongchen had a tightly drawn expression at this moment.

Occasionally, he glanced at the Shrek Academy team walking beside them on the red carpet that had been laid out just last night, his eyes burning with fighting spirit and desire.

Compared to Xiao Hongchen, Liuxing and the others were much calmer. Even Meng Hongchen was more composed than him, even finding time to admire the handsome guys, sometimes looking at Liuxing, sometimes at Shrek Academy's Wang Dong.

In her eyes, the only one who could compare to Liuxing in terms of looks was Wang Dong, who looked like a girl.

Actually, Liuxing was also a bit surprised. His handsome appearance was due to his body template being Liuying, but Wang Dong could actually compete with him in looks, which was unexpected.

Liuxing had also used his Flaming Pupil to observe Wang Dong, but there was a mist around him, and he sensed a terrifying aura hidden within. He didn't dare to look too closely, so he couldn't figure much out.

But he guessed that Wang Dong must have some connection to a god, because the hidden power within him felt similar to the aura of the Goddess of Life.

Speaking of which, with such a major event as the fusion of worlds, why had the Divine Realm not reacted at all? The Goddess of Life hadn't contacted them either.

Logically, the Douluo star, as a subordinate plane under the jurisdiction of the Divine Realm and the birthplace of many gods, should have been a focal point for the Divine Realm. But why was there no movement at all?

Could something have happened in the Divine Realm?

But matters of the Divine Realm were too distant for him now. Liuxing shook his head, dismissing his wild thoughts.

The Goddess of Life was his benefactor. Although he was concerned for her, as a Godking, it wasn't his place as a mere Soul Ancestor to worry about her.

The red carpet led all the way to the rest area and then circled the competition stage.

On the city wall in the distance, Xu Jiawei, accompanied by the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire, had already arrived to show respect for the two teams about to compete in the final.

Hu Yuhao's mood was calm, but his eyes burned with unprecedented fighting spirit. He turned to look in Liuxing's direction, just as Liuxing happened to look at him.

Liuxing smiled at Hu Yuhao, then turned to look at the city wall. Although Hu Yuhao was the protagonist, he was still too inexperienced to pose any pressure on Liuxing.

Seeing the confident and radiant Liuxing, Hu Yuhao pursed his lips.

Compared to his own bitter and resentful upbringing, Liuxing must have grown up surrounded by care and affection, right?

At this thought, Hu Yuhao felt a pang of envy for the first time.

Compared to Liuxing, who was adored like a star in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he had found friendship in Shrek Academy, joined a sect, and even felt a sense of belonging.

But at the beginning, he hadn't been accepted. Even after winning a match, he hadn't been granted a core disciple position. The unfair treatment had nearly driven him to despair, but thankfully, someone had pulled him back.

Following Liuxing's gaze to the city wall, his body suddenly stiffened.

Today, beside Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiu Jiu stood another figure, a middle-aged man with golden armor and a fierce, iron-like aura, with golden hair.

His identity was unmistakable, the White Tiger Duke, the Grand Marshal of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Hao.

Seeing the White Tiger Duke, not only Hu Yuhao but also Dai Yueheng clenched their fists in excitement, their eyes filled with determination.

Xu Jiawei, seeing that both teams had entered the rest area, smiled faintly and nodded to the White Tiger Duke beside him.

"Silence! The match is about to begin. Please welcome His Majesty to speak."

Dai Hao's deep voice rang out. He didn't use any sound-amplifying soul tool, yet his voice carried far and wide, firm and commanding, exuding an iron-like presence that subdued the crowd.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers raised their weapons and cheered loudly, their eyes filled with fervor, demonstrating the White Tiger Duke's dominance in the military.

Xu Jiawei's smile remained unchanged, and the crowd quieted down following the soldiers' cheers.

Xu Jiawei said, "Today is the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. I am deeply excited, and I hope both teams will deliver a splendid match for every spectator. As per tradition, the winning team will receive three soul bones and one million gold soul coins. I have personally selected ten soul bones from our national treasury for the champion to choose from."

"I won't say more. Now, let us all witness what will surely be a historic showdown."

As Xu Jiawei finished speaking, a flash of light streaked from the city wall and appeared in the center of the competition stage. It was the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, Huang Jinxu.

He would once again serve as the referee for today's final.

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo scanned Star Luo Square, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
