Time flew by, and half an hour of rest time had passed in the blink of an eye. The opening ceremony of the Soul Master Finals had finally begun. However, the finals weren't as grand and solemn as expected. The Pope of the Spirit Hall and the Titled Elders didn't show up. Only a red-robed bishop announced the start of the finals.
Most of the audience knew that the Pope and the Titled Douluo Elders were supreme existences on the continent. They wouldn't show themselves so easily. Only in the finals would the Pope appear and personally present the Soul Master Tournament's champion with an award.
The representatives of the 32 teams went on stage to draw lots to determine their opponents. Soon, the name list for the first match was announced. The red-robed bishop walked onto the stage and announced in a loud voice, "The first match of the first round of the Continental Elite Academy Tournament: Heaven Dou Imperial Academy versus Star Luo Imperial Academy"
As soon as the name list was announced, the audience went into an uproar. "I didn't expect the first match to be between Heaven Dou and Star Luo"
"I'm looking forward to a battle between the strongest of the seeded teams"
"Tsk tsk, the two empires have always been at odds with each other. This is going to be a good show."
The audience discussed animatedly. The Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire were two of the most powerful empires on the Douluo Continent. They each ruled over a region. Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and Star Luo Academy were founded by the royal families of the two empires.
From a certain perspective, this match between the two empires was equivalent to a confrontation between the two empires. As for the outcome of the match, it would directly affect the reputation and prestige of the empires on the Douluo Continent.
This was a showdown between the strongest of the two empires. Many people rubbed their eyes, ready to watch the fierce battle between the two empires!
"I didn't expect to meet them in the first round. This is what they mean by 'enemies on a narrow road' "
In Heaven Dou's resting area, Fang Xuan was startled when he heard the red-robed bishop's announcement. The corner of his mouth curled up into a dangerous smile. Subconsciously, he looked towards the resting area across from him, only to see Davis sneering at Fang Xuan. He even made a throat-slitting gesture.
It was as if he was saying: You're dead.
"You won't die if you don't seek death."
The corner of Fang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. He thought that he needed to teach Davis a lesson with his fists. Killing a Soul King was as easy as cutting a watermelon for him. He didn't expect a mere Soul Ancestor to be so arrogant.
'Outrageous, this is too outrageous'
You might not have had a choice in the past, but now, I will use my fists to teach you how to be a good person.
Fang Xuan was a little angry. He stood up and swept his sharp gaze over Yu Tian-heng, Dugu Yan, and the others. He said resolutely, "Alright, brothers, let's go. If I don't beat this dog of a prince from the Star Luo Empire to the point where even his mother can't recognize me, I'll change my surname to Xing."
"Pfft"
Everyone laughed. They did not expect the captain, who had always been calm, to be angered by Davis's repeated provocations. When the time came, the arena would most likely be a large-scale massacre.
"Pfft ~ Captain, the Star Luo Empire royal family is not surnamed Xing, but Dai," Yu Tianheng burst into laughter.
"It's scary to be uncultured …" Dugu Yan rolled his eyes.
"That's right, that's right," Ye Lingling added.
"It's none of your business if I want to."
Fang Xuan glared at everyone and quickly led his team to the arena.
On the arena.
The Emperor Team and the Star Luo Team. The two teams lined up in a row and faced each other with awe-inspiring fighting spirit. The battle had not yet begun, but the smell of gunpowder had already spread throughout the arena.
"Hehe, Fang Xuan, I heard that you're just the illegitimate son of the Heaven Dou Emperor. You don't even have the status of a prince. The Heaven Dou Empire has declined. They let a lowly illegitimate son lead the team," Davis sneered.
"The Heaven Dou Empire is nothing. Our Star Luo Empire's national strength and military strength far surpass the Heaven Dou Empire's. If not for the Spirit Hall's interference, this world would have belonged to our Star Luo Empire long ago, and the Heaven Dou Empire would have been eliminated long ago," Zhu Zhuyun mocked.
"Haha, Captain is right."
The rest of the younger brothers and sisters echoed in agreement.
"Despicable fellows, what are you talking about? What's so great about the Star Luo Empire?"
The Emperor Team was utterly infuriated by the Star Luo Team and entered a state of rage. Everyone was raging as they glared fiercely at the arrogant Star Luo Team opposite them!
"Brothers, let's kill this bunch of bastards."
Even Yu Tian-heng, who had always been good-tempered, was angered half to death by this Star Luo Academy's group. Before Captain Fang Xuan gave the order, he had already rushed forward and was ready to fight to the death with Star Luo Academy.
"Wait"
However, at this moment, Davis stepped forward and stopped the charging Emperor Team. Then, he slowly extended a finger and waved it in front of Fang Xuan and the rest. He smiled confidently and said, "I'll finish you in one minute. Otherwise, we'll forfeit!"
"What the f * ck."
Fang Xuan staggered and almost fell.
He had seen pretentious people before, but he had never seen someone arrogant to such an extent.
I really can't take it anymore. Are you the Act Tough King Xu Que?!
Davis' arrogant words and actions undoubtedly enraged everyone in the Emperor Team. At this moment, Fang Xuan and Yu Tianheng couldn't wait to slaughter Davis.
Of course, when Davis said he would finish off Fang Xuan and the rest of the Heaven Dou Academy's fated opponents in one minute, he wasn't just spouting nonsense. He had enough confidence and strength.
The arena of the Soul Master Finals was a glorious stage specially prepared for them. They could let the world see how the Star Luo Empire defeated the Heaven Dou Empire.
For this, Davis had made ample preparations.
"Zhuyun!"
Davis looked at Zhu Zhuyun beside him. The latter had an unwavering gaze. The two of them nodded at the same time and said in unison, "Martial Soul Fusion Skill — Hell White Tiger."
The moment their voices rang out, the two of them disappeared. A giant Hell White Tiger appeared in the arena. Its majestic body was like a mountain, and its roar was like thunder. It shook the heavens and the earth. A terrifying aura permeated the air, causing the entire audience to tremble.
"Wow, it's appeared. The Star Luo Imperial Family's secret martial soul fusion skill!"
"What a powerful aura. This feeling has completely surpassed that of a normal Soul King. It's at the level of a Soul King at the peak."
"It's too strong. It's simply unbelievable. I didn't expect the fusion of two Soul Ancestors to be so strong."
"It seems like Davis wasn't bragging when he said he would defeat the Heaven Dou Academy in one minute. He really can do it."
Everyone was shocked. They looked at the aggressive Star Luo Team with excitement in their hearts. It was as if they were witnessing the birth of a miracle. The Star Luo Team would wipe out the Emperor Team in one go.
The Hell White Tiger took the lead, and the other five Rank 45 Soul Ancestors followed closely behind. The Star Luo Team charged forward aggressively, ready to defeat the Heaven Dou Academy in one go!
Faced with the Star Luo Team's crazy attacks, the Emperor Team's members were about to unleash their martial souls. However, a cold and firm voice rang in their ears, causing everyone to stop moving.
"Don't move, all of you. I'll go alone."
Fang Xuan's black hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes were bottomless as he looked at the crazy Hell White Tiger. The corner of his mouth slowly curled into a dangerous smile. His right hand suddenly grasped the hilt of his blade.
Blade Aura of Slaughter! Blue Emperor Killing Array! Thunder Dragon Flash!
With the three soul skills combined, Fang Xuan's aura instantly rose to the peak. His entire body released a blood-red blade aura. Divine chain-like lightning coiled around his body, and he turned into a bolt of blue lightning that streaked across the sky. He fiercely slashed towards the Star Luo Team!
"Boom"
A sudden clap of thunder exploded, and the entire arena collapsed with a loud bang.
"Ah …"
The tyrannical blade of lightning about ten meters long tore through the sky and smashed the Hell White Tiger into pieces. Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were forced out of their combined state. Their bodies were charred black, and they spat out blood. They were like kites with their strings cut and thrown out of the arena. They looked very miserable.
The other five team members were also affected by the terrifying blade aura. They were heavily injured and pathetically fell to the ground.
"You guys need one minute."
Fang Xuan's black hair danced in the wind as he calmly sheathed his saber. He stood proudly in the arena and looked coldly at Davis and the others lying around him. He snorted and said, "Then I only need … one second."
One slash to wipe out the Star Luo Team.
The entire arena was dead silent.
