Want to Make the Top Four? Dream On!

Want to Make the Top Four? Dream On!

Qin Yuan noticed Lu Yuan's gaze as well. Their eyes met, filled with nothing but hostility.

Turning back, Lu Yuan murmured softly, "Qin Yuan, is it?"

Before long, the first day of the selection tournament came to an end!

After the first day's selection tournament, half of the trainees had been eliminated.

Those who advanced were naturally delighted, but the losers were left with nothing but endless sorrow!

The law of nature: the fittest survived. Nothing more than that!

The Training Camp's cruelty had been laid bare at once.

Even those trainees who had passed the first round could not relax in the slightest, because the upcoming matches would be even more brutal!

Lu Yuan felt no pressure. He returned to the dormitory with Yuan Xin!

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

During those three days, another selection tournament was held to narrow the field from sixteen to eight. Lu Yuan naturally advanced with ease, while Yuan Xin, though he fought bitterly, also squeezed into the top eight.

The Training Camp's selection tournaments were held every other day. In other words, there was one day of rest after each selection match. Today happened to be the top-eight-to-top-four round. As long as one entered the top four, they would have a chance to participate in the final finals, so today's selection tournament was exceptionally important.

Lu Yuan naturally felt little pressure, but Yuan Xin was quite worried.

The familiar training ground, the familiar Number One arena, and the familiar steward Har!

"The Pride of Heaven Selection Tournament, Number One arena, top-eight-to-top-four selection round, first match, begins now! Trainee Lin Mo and trainee Yuan Xin, please take the stage!" Steward Har's voice rang out.

Yuan Xin's body trembled. His match was the very first one!

"Go on, Yuan Xin. You can win!" Lu Yuan patted Yuan Xin's shoulder and smiled faintly.

Yuan Xin nodded, his gaze turning resolute. As long as he won this match, he could advance to the finals!

On the Number One arena, two youths stood facing each other.

Lin Mo's Martial Soul was the Ink Tiger. He was a Power Attack System War Soul Master, with Soul Power at level nineteen!

The so-called Ink Tiger was actually a black tiger. Among beast Martial Souls, the Ink Tiger could be considered an advanced Martial Soul!

This brought up the classification of Martial Soul grades!

On Douluo Continent, Martial Souls came in countless strange forms and varieties. Yet whether they were beast Martial Souls, tool Martial Souls, body Martial Souls, or plant-type Martial Souls, they all had a unified standard by which their strength was measured.

From lowest to highest, Martial Souls were mainly divided into six major grades!

The lowest grade was naturally a useless Martial Soul. This type of Martial Soul basically had no chance of cultivation. Even if Soul Power occasionally appeared, it was mostly only half a level or one level, and rarely exceeded level three. The most typical example was naturally Blue Silver Grass, the quintessential useless Martial Soul. Of course, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was an exception—it was the Blue Silver Emperor.

Next came low-grade Martial Souls. Things like nail hammers, sickles, and hoes belonged to this category. The chance of possessing Soul Power was low, and even if one did have Soul Power, it was generally below level three.

After that came advanced Martial Souls. Wang Sheng's Battle Tiger Martial Soul from Notting College, Su Yuntao's Lone Wolf Martial Soul, and Lin Mo's current Ink Tiger Martial Soul all belonged to this category. Once an advanced Martial Soul produced Soul Power, it was basically above level two or three, but it rarely exceeded level seven. Lin Mo's Innate Soul Power had been level eight, which was why he had cultivated to level nineteen at the age of ten. He could be considered exceptionally gifted.

Then came top-grade Martial Souls. The difference between top-grade and advanced Martial Souls was that top-grade Martial Souls could possess Innate Full Soul Power. Generally speaking, as long as a Soul Master possessed a top-grade Martial Soul, their Innate Soul Power would not be below level five. That was the innate strength of a Martial Soul. The Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were both top-grade Martial Souls. There were not many Soul Masters with top-grade Martial Souls on Douluo Continent.

Above that were Super Spirits. Super Spirits stood above top-grade Martial Souls and were extraordinarily powerful. Soul Masters with Super Spirits could often fight opponents above their level. While top-grade Martial Souls were rare but still seen from time to time, Super Spirits were truly as scarce as phoenix feathers and qilin horns! One particularly notable category among Super Spirits was ultimate Martial Souls!

Any ultimate Martial Soul was necessarily a Super Spirit. Generally speaking, those who possessed Super Spirits had Innate Full Soul Power, with very few exceptions. Lu Yuan's Golden Dragon Spirit was one of the finest among Super Spirits.

Finally, there were god-grade Martial Souls! Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and Bo Saixi's Sea God Martial Soul from Sea God Island were both god-grade Martial Souls. The defining feature of god-grade Martial Souls was that they possessed divinity, meaning they were bestowed by the gods. Thus, generally speaking, the possessors of god-grade Martial Souls had Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty.

The power of god-grade Martial Souls was beyond doubt, but they were not necessarily stronger than Super Spirits. Martial Souls such as the Golden Dragon and Emerald Qilin, aside from not having Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty, were no inferior to god-grade Martial Souls in quality.

As for whether anything existed above god-grade Martial Souls, that was unclear. After all, above god-grade should be God King-grade Martial Souls, and such Martial Souls had never appeared on Douluo Continent.

Unless one day someone possessed the Martial Soul of the Asura God or the God of Destruction, then the strength of their Martial Soul might surpass god-grade Martial Souls such as the Six-Winged Angel.

The Ink Tiger of Lin Mo and the Purple Jade Bamboo of Yuan Xin were both advanced Martial Souls, so the gap between their Martial Souls was not great!

As for their Soul Power Levels, Lin Mo was level nineteen while Yuan Xin was level eighteen. Lin Mo was one level higher, but Yuan Xin was a control-system Soul Master while Lin Mo was a Power Attack System Soul Master. Generally speaking, control-system Soul Masters restrained Power Attack System Soul Masters, so the two sides were actually evenly matched. Neither one winning would have been surprising.

The battle on the arena began. After an intense clash, Yuan Xin claimed victory by a narrow margin and secured a spot in the top four. However, he himself had also suffered considerable injuries and would need several days of rest to recover. He would likely be unable to take part in the battle for first, second, and third place on the Number One arena, but at least he had obtained a place in the final finals.

After Yuan Xin's match ended, two more matches took place. Half an hour later, only two people remained on the Number One arena who had yet to fight. One was Lu Yuan, and the other was Qin Yuan. This was truly enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Compared to Lu Yuan's calm composure, Qin Yuan's expression was quite unpleasant. He was deeply wary of Lu Yuan and had not wanted to clash with him head-on. Yet he had never expected to encounter Lu Yuan at such a crucial point in the top-eight-to-top-four round.

"Looks like even Heaven wants us to settle this," Lu Yuan said, looking at Qin Yuan's ashen face with a trace of mockery. He looked down greatly on someone like Qin Yuan, who was jealous of the worthy and envious of the capable. Qin Yuan's act of abandoning his own underling was even more contemptible.

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious. Staring at Qin Yuan, he said word by word, "Qin Yuan, with me here, making the top four is nothing but a dream!"
