Chapter 92: Star Luo National Academy

Some things should stop while they can; if it weren't for the fact that Wang Dong didn't know Su Yu knew the truth, he absolutely wouldn't let Su Yu be so presumptuous.

These things could only fool the young Wang Dong; if it were that guy Bei Bei, he could absolutely sell you off and you'd still help him count the money.

Play is play, and joking is joking; after all, today's battle is Su's revenge battle. If he doesn't seize the chance to give this guy a good beating, Su Yu truly cannot swallow that breath.

As the saying goes, a Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and a person fights for a breath of air.

Today's battle is the semi-final battle; even without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I can still defeat you all.

Looking at the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire on the stage, four old men stood beside him, the four forming a square, with His Majesty the Emperor at the center point of this square. The guards following behind were no more than twenty, but this seemingly simple lineup was basically a representation of the Star Luo Empire's peak combat power.

Ever since the Spirit Hall, which once controlled the strongest Soul Master power on the continent, disintegrated ten thousand years ago, the vast majority of the strong in the Soul Master world were recruited by various nations; some merged into sects, and some chose to establish their own families.

Actually, Su Yu has a guess: the Heaven Dou Empire of that year split into two empires precisely because its own strength grew too powerful to be controlled.

As for the Star Luo Empire, ever since the ancestor ascended, it was clear that there were problems with the governance of later generations; otherwise, they wouldn't have had to rely on the power of sects to suppress rebellions. In fact, the White Tiger Duke's abdication was a wise move. Even if the Star Crown Sect didn't have that ambition, their power would eventually breed ambition one day. Once ambition suppressed reason, that would be the day of the extermination of the White Tiger Duke's lineage.

Of course, these are just speculations, but judging from the fierce competition among the imperial heirs of the Sun Moon Empire, that outcome is just one of the possibilities.

As Soul Masters' understanding of martial souls becomes more profound, the probability of Title Douluo appearing has increased much more than in the past. It is just that some Title Douluo relied too much on medicinal assistance when breaking through, resulting in their true strength being slightly weaker.

Of course, even if the number of Title Douluo is higher than ten thousand years ago, the total amount is still scarce. Moreover, even as Title Douluo, their cultivation levels are worlds apart due to different martial souls, different cultivation methods, different soul rings, different soul bones, and different numbers of soul bones.

This also indirectly limits the development of Soul Masters, or rather, the development of Soul Masters is inevitably inseparable from factions.

This is also the reason why various academies and sects are numerous. In reality, apart from Shrek, which is truly independent of the world, the others are just cultivating talent for the empire. Once a war breaks out, they must make a choice.

The one hundred and eight Soul Masters responsible for protection around the competition stage bowed to the Emperor simultaneously, but they did not kneel. According to Star Luo Empire regulations, royal Soul Masters of Four-Ring and above do not need to perform the kneeling kowtow.

His Majesty the Emperor, surrounded by four Title Douluo, ascended the competition stage, faced the direction of Star Luo Plaza, and said with a smile, "My subjects, rise."

It must be said that a powerful empire inevitably requires a strong monarch; otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the necessary prestige. What is needed here is not just love, but also awe!

However, the last sentence of the Star Luo Emperor was very thought-provoking.

"I know everyone is eager to watch the competition, and I am also very much looking forward to it. Let us begin; I wish to enjoy this with the people, and I also wish for my Star Luo Empire to prosper for generations."

The Star Luo Empire did indeed prosper for generations; this flag was truly a poisoned milk. The original Sun Moon Empire, after destroying the Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, crushed the Star Luo Empire again. It was just that the Star Luo Empire later took people and fled the Douluo Continent, found new land on the sea, and rebuilt the Star Luo Empire after defeating the indigenous people, which became the only empire among the four to survive.

Finally, after Huo Yu Hao ascended, the original Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent, and only then did it completely merge. The empire became a thing of the past, and they had a new name: the Douluo Federation.

I really don't know what kind of wonderful expression the Emperor would have if he knew about this.

Actually, even funnier things are yet to come.

The Star Luo Emperor smiled and said, "To ensure the safety of the team members in the semi-finals and finals, I have decided that in every subsequent match, an imperial protector Douluo will serve as the referee to preside over the match. Today's draw and the first match will be presided over by Senior Huang Jinxu; Senior Huang's title is Heavenly Fiend."

This guy is not someone who is incredibly awesome, but is destined to have the fate of a lone star of the Heavenly Fiend, specifically cursing friends and family.

If he sees someone he doesn't like, he can just claim them as kin or swear a brotherhood, and he can absolutely get the other party killed.

Opponent: I have some foul language I don't know if I should say or not...

This kind of ultimate debuff is absolutely a great lethal weapon. Never mind taking action; a single shout before the battle could absolutely scare away a million troops.

The draw result for the competition was actually already arranged by the author. They drew the Di'ao Team—pfft, Di'ao Team. There's no helping it; it's estimated that Di'ao paid too much, which is why the author wrote it this way. The Electrolux refrigerator from back then was probably also one of the sponsors.

Looking at the Shrek team, the smile on Xu Jiujiu's face was exceptionally subtle, especially when looking at Su Yu; there was actually a hint of provocation.

This woman has never been a good person; at least that's how it seems to Su.

Ma Xiaotao is the captain, and she walked at the very front, followed by Dai Yaoheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yu Hao, and Su Yu.

Originally, He Caitou was scheduled to play, but after everyone's discussion, they decided to let Su Yu play. After all, the current battle cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. If Su Yu is there, they can get more accurate command in terms of deployment during the battle.

On the Shrek Academy side, they changed their usual formation. Dai Yaoheng and Ma Xiaotao were still at the front, but behind them, it changed to Xu Sanshi. Xu Sanshi was blocking in front of Ling Luochen. Huo Yu Hao stood behind Ling Luochen. Bei Bei's position was moved forward, standing on the other side of Ma Xiaotao. They set up a posture of three major Assault Systems.

But Su Yu is an exception; he stood in front of Xu Sanshi. Logically, he should have stayed behind Ling Luochen.

On the Star Luo National Academy side, there was also a somewhat peculiar formation. Six of them stood in a triangle, one in front, then two, then three. Only Princess Jiujiu stood at the very back. The golden light in her eyes was clearly beginning to grow stronger, as if she were the commander of the team.

Xu Jiujiu's ability does not lie in how powerful her attack power is, but in her extreme defense amplification ability. To put it bluntly, it's just adding a damage-reduction buff to you. The most fatal thing is that in this battle, Xu Jiujiu brought out a pile of pay-to-win items...

However, when it comes to the power of paying to win, sorry, Su Yu is not short of money, but Su also has a brand-new, purified Engraving Knife. This knife is simply a top-tier divine artifact; in any case, it specifically counters Soul Guidance Devices, and when necessary, it can even drain some life force from others.

I don't know if Xu Sanshi's self-confidence is overflowing or what, but looking at Xu Jiujiu, the meaning contained in that wicked smile on his face is self-evident.

"The match begins." Just as both sides were closely watching the opponent's situation, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo shouted, a golden light flashed in the center of the competition stage, and this powerful Title Douluo disappeared.

The moment the match started, Su did not release his martial soul. This time he dared not risk rushing into the opponent's crowd. Xu Jiujiu could at most make his attacks weaker, but that Defense System Soul King would be hard to deal with. The only way is to deceive; at the very least, he must hide his true self, otherwise he won't be able to touch Xu Jiujiu at all.

Huo Yu Hao's perspective-locking aim-assist hack went online instantly, and everyone started preparing for battle. Bei Bei is about to face an Agility Attack System Soul King, Chen Xiaojie. It is estimated that his speed cannot keep up with the opponent, and then he will be caught by the opponent and end up miserable.

This battle is completely a duel between a pay-to-win tycoon and a grinder. If the pay-to-win tycoon hadn't met the big brother, he would have absolutely won.

A golden light lit up from Princess Jiujiu's forehead; it was a diamond-shaped golden gemstone. Looking from afar, it really looked a bit like an eye. Su Yu's Life Eye has never been officially used, and he doesn't know what kind of surprise the Life Eye will bring to Su Yu.

After the golden diamond-shaped gemstone appeared, it immediately burst into brilliant golden light, then detached from her forehead, slowly floating upward. With golden light swirling around, a magnificent crown appeared above her head, then slowly descended and landed on her head.

This crown seemed to be composed of countless stars, all of which were pale gold. Starting from that diamond-shaped gemstone, it quickly gathered toward the back. There were eighteen larger stars protruding upward on the crown, forming a circle of beautiful tips.

This is Xu Jiujiu's martial soul, the Star Crown!

Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five soul rings appeared on this Princess at the same time.

Seeing such a scene, Huo Yu Hao had no confidence left in his heart. Even if he were stronger now, he couldn't be Xu Jiujiu's opponent. Not only Huo Yu Hao, but even Ma Xiaotao subconsciously looked at Su Yu.

The seven people on the opposite side were all Soul Kings. This could be considered a pure Soul King team. Only four people could truly play a role: Chen Xiaojie, Xu Jiujiu, Huang Heyun, and Dugu Shangshan.

As for that Defense System Soul King who had been staying by Xu Jiujiu's side, he would not participate in the battle at all. There were only two choices at the moment.

First, let Xu Sanshi use Xuanming Displacement to replace Ma Xiaotao, and let Ma Xiaotao take action to clean up the mess.

Second, use the Life Carving Knife to break the Seventh-level Soul Guidance Device himself.
