Chapter 164: Gu Lei Royal Academy Takes the Stage, Soul King Dian Wei

Several days later, in the Gu Lei Kingdom division.

The preliminary tournament here was also about to begin.

Due to the small number of participating teams, the number of teams advancing from here was not five, but only two.

In Nan Feihuang's view, even without him, Xun Yu, Dian Wei, and Lv Lingqi this year, Nan Feiling, Jia Kui, and the others would be enough to advance; the only ones who could cause them even a little trouble were the Exotic Beast Academy.

In fact, the current strength of the Exotic Beast Academy was about the same as that Shrek; the entire team only had two Soul Ancestors, one being their captain, and the other their Control System Spirit Master.

Meng Yiran, a dignified vice-captain, only had the strength of a Soul Elder; she likely only became vice-captain because of her grandfather's connections.

If they were in the Tiandou Main Competition Zone, with the Five Great Element Academies present, they would struggle even to advance.

Evergreen Advanced Spirit Master Academy had one Soul Ancestor and six Soul Elders on the whole team, posing no threat at all.

"Hmph!" As he stomped his foot, two yellow, three purple, and three black spirit rings slowly rose, and at the same time, a ferocious ape roared behind him. This was his martial soul, a superior Beast Spirit, the Tyrannical Demon Ape.

It was none other than Salas, the Bishop of the Spirit Hall who had appeared back when Lan Xue broke through to Title Douluo.

"E Lai, you are not allowed to attack; I want to use them for an experiment." Xun Yu raised the Military Talisman in his hand, a light flashed, and his spirit skill was activated: Ambush Formation.

The host said, "I announce that the first match is between Gu Lei Royal Academy and Evergreen Advanced Spirit Master Academy!"

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!

For a moment, the entire arena was stunned.

"Captain..." Jia Kui seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Nan Feihuang.

The staff member finally managed to pull the corresponding upper and lower signs out of the wall.

He was not as lecherous as Salas; his main problems were tyranny and pride. He was ruthless and arrogant, and back then, before Lan Xue joined the Gu Lei Kingdom, he had not shown the slightest respect to the entire Gu Lei Royal Family.

Nan Feihuang even felt that, apart from the Spirit Hall Team, Xun Yu could take on any team by himself.

After thinking for a moment, Feihuang said, "Wenruo, I grant your request, but E Lai, you go up to protect Wenruo; as long as no one comes within a meter of him, you are not allowed to attack."

"Understood!" Dian Wei nodded and walked onto the arena with Xun Yu.

And the positioning of these sixteen soldiers...

The seven members of Evergreen Academy were the first to activate their martial souls. Ox, sheep, horse, long spear—a whole bunch of martial souls appeared, all very ordinary Beast Spirits and Tool Spirits. There wasn't even a high-grade martial soul, let alone a top-tier one.

He was worthy of being a king; even if his nobility was not quite equal to the emperors of the Two Great Empires, it was only slightly inferior.

However, although his strength was great, he had the same weakness as an Auxiliary System Spirit Master: his true self was very weak. It could be said that once he was approached, he would have no power to fight back.

Xun Yu smiled slightly and, together with Dian Wei, summoned his martial soul.

25 seconds later!

"Impossible! These two—one is a peak Soul Ancestor, and the other is actually a Soul King!" Salas was so frightened he even stood up. Their Spirit Hall Academy, known as the Golden Generation this year, only had three Soul Kings. A mere Gu Lei Royal Academy could actually produce one, and it wasn't even the long-famous Flying General.

"That... Gu Lei Team, this match is a Team Soul Battle, not a duo spirit fight..." Seeing that the Gu Lei Team only had two people on stage, the host reminded them.

If the opponent had some special martial soul that could directly target him, there would still be a certain degree of danger.

"Damn it, Gu Lei Royal Academy, you are going too far!" The seven people from Evergreen Academy were completely enraged by Xun Yu's act of not taking them seriously. No matter what, wanting to fight seven against two was far too arrogant.

Even more terrifying was their soul power and spirit rings.

He was no ordinary Bishop, but one of the four Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall, just like Salas of the Tiandou Capital. He ranked last among them, with soul power at level 83, and was also a Spirit Douluo powerhouse.

"Heh heh, my son has his own capital for arrogance. Mr. Salas, you will see once you look." Nan Tianchen, on the contrary, felt that his son was actually quite humble and had given the opponent enough respect, after all, he had sent those two people.

Some didn't even have the optimal spirit ring configuration. They were worthy of being a background academy that hadn't even appeared in the original work; this setup was truly pitiful.

Xun Yu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, can you leave this match to me? It just so happens that with such a weak team, I can properly test something."

He also believed that Nan Feihuang had a sense of proportion.

Some also speculated that he might have already reached the Title Douluo rank.

As for the Star Luo Emperor, he was already a Spirit Douluo when he ascended to the throne. After becoming emperor, he had not made a move for many years, and no one knew his true level.

"Then, first is the drawing of lots. We invite Mr. Salas, the Platinum Bishop from the Spirit Hall, to draw the lots." Sitting below Nan Tianchen was also a dignified middle-aged man.

After all, while being a king, he was also a Spirit Douluo expert, far stronger than that Soul Ancestor Xue Ye.

The Demon Ape flicked his hand, throwing out sixteen flying cards, eight high and eight low, which embedded deeply into the wall.

"Wenruo, do you mean you intend to go up alone?" Nan Feihuang asked. He wasn't worried, after all, Xun Yu was already at the peak of the Soul Ancestor rank, so he wouldn't be unable to defeat a few guys like this.

The top-tier Tool Spirits, the Military Talisman and the Double Iron Halberds, both appeared. The suppression from the quality of these two martial souls alone made the other side feel some fear.

Fortunately, here, they could still barely pass by taking second place.

"Yes, Captain!" Thinking of the formidable strength of Dian Wei and Xun Yu who were going on stage, he didn't say anything more.

What was the difficulty in a hundred Great Soul Masters around level 20 taking on seven Spirit Masters at the Soul Elder to Soul Ancestor level?

In this kind of small-scale Soul Fighting Arena, Xun Yu was very bugged; human-sea tactics could pile a whole bunch of opponents to death.

No wonder they were so conceited.

"Your Majesty, your son is a bit arrogant; he seems to have inherited none of your humility," Salas said to Nan Tianchen.

Xun Yu smiled, "It's fine, just assume our other five team members have all automatically jumped off the arena and forfeited. Actually, if it weren't for our captain worrying about my safety, E Lai wouldn't have needed to come up."

"Then, Gu Lei Royal Academy versus Evergreen Academy, the match begins. Both sides, please activate your martial souls."

"The Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Gu Lei Kingdom Division Preliminaries, I, the King, announce, officially begin." Today, Nan Tianchen's temperament was indescribably noble. Dressed in a golden robe and wearing the Golden Diamond Radiance Crown, just sitting there, it was as if everything centered around him.

Xun Yu and Dian Wei walked onto the arena. These two were simply two extremes: one handsome, one rugged; one with the temperament of a scholar, the other a battle general from the field of war.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple.

Because he had already reached level 49, the number of soldiers he could summon had broken through to over a hundred, and they all had the strength of Great Soul Masters.

"Senior, do not worry. With E Lai on stage, if we cannot even defeat such a team, we need not go to any Finals; we might as well go home directly. We would lose to the Spirit Hall Team anyway."

He didn't summon too many, as this arena couldn't hold them; he only summoned sixteen.

"Evergreen Academy is entirely eliminated, Gu Lei Royal Academy wins!"

From the start of the match to the end, it didn't even take half a minute; Evergreen Academy was completely defeated in a crushing manner by the sixteen people summoned by Xun Yu.
