Why were all the strongest Soul Masters women?

The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

Backstage rest area.

VIP room.

Zhou Chen stood in front of the crystal floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes fixed on the Great Spirit Arena outside. Having just returned from the Far North Land, he was now more inclined to watch the excitement.

"Zhou Chen, when do we go on stage?"

A clear and melodious voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see Yu Tianmeng lounging on the sofa, looking excited.

Today, she wore a silver palace-style long dress, her smooth hair was piled high, revealing her Swan -like white neck, and a blue-purple gemstone adorned her neck, making her radiant and beautiful.

"Let my emperor Father-in-law make his appearance first."

Zhou Chen turned around, looked at the elegant and beautiful Yu Tianmeng, and said with great enthusiasm, "The more important the person, the later they appear. Of course, we will be the last to appear."

"My husband, you are clearly disregarding my father."

Xue Ke's sweet voice rang out. That's right, there were not only Yu Tianmeng in the room, but also Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke.

Today, Zhu Zhuqing was dressed as always in a black, tight-fitting dress, as if she were Douluo I at any moment, revealing an aloof and unapproachable temperament.

However, as a woman, Zhu Zhuqing still paid great attention to her appearance. She specially asked a makeup artist from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to do a light makeup for her, making her look very cold and noble.

As a royal princess, Xue Ke adhered to etiquette in every word and deed. She wore Swan Palace dress that only royal princesses could wear, and her dazzling blonde hair was styled in the standard way that only married noblewomen could wear.

At this moment, Xue Ke stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Zhou Chen with a pout, but her beautiful eyes were full of laughter, clearly indicating that she was joking just now.

"Haha, Ke'er, don't be angry. I was just joking. We'll go first later, as a way of giving our Emperor Father-in-law face."

Zhou Chen gazed tenderly at Xue Ke and said with a smile.

"Hmph, you're smart to know your place."

Xue Ke snorted, slightly raising her fair and delicate chin, and said arrogantly.

Watching the two flirting with each other, Yu Tianmeng and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.

The three women in the room were all there to accompany Zhou Chen to the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Tournament.

As for Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Yu Tianling, Shui Binger, and Shui Yue'er, they went to the teams of various colleges in advance because they were going to participate in the competition. They will appear on stage with their college teams.

As for the two super Soul Beast, Bi Ji and Zi JI, it is not convenient for them to appear in public. After all, any Soul Douluo above level 80 can see through the Soul Beast in human form.

"Buzz!!"

Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang in Zhou Chen and the others' ears. They saw that outside the crystal window, one after another, the high-hanging Lighting Soul Guidance Device were turned on, and under the illumination of dazzling colored light beams, the entire Great Spirit Arena was made to shine brightly.

The rebuilt Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena is incredibly large, having merged all the original sub-areas with the main Soul Fighting stage to form a massive venue capable of accommodating 500,000 people watching the matches simultaneously.

At this moment, the lights came on, and outside the huge and open venue, countless spectators shouted and cheered, creating a deafening roar.

To the north of the venue is a golden platform, used to seat distinguished guests of high status or great power. For example, Xue Ye, Zhou Chen, Ning Fengzhi, and others will be seated here.

"Distinguished guests, esteemed audience members, and fellow participating Soul Master..."

A melodious female voice rang out, and the next second, a beautiful female host in a white dress with a curvaceous figure descended from the sky.

She held a cone-shaped Amplifying Soul Tool in her hand, a professional smile on her pretty face, and two snow-white wings fluttering behind her.

This is her Martial Soul, the White Dove.

"It is a great honor to host the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Tournament. I am your host, Kou Kou. Without further ado, please welcome the thirty-two participating teams from our Heaven Dou Empire to the stage!"

Kou Kou finished speaking, the side door of the Great Spirit Arena slowly opened, and teams of young Soul Master from various advanced Soul Master Academy walked out in an orderly manner.

"First up is our Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team. Heaven Dou Royal Academy is divided into Team One and Team Two. This is Team Two, captain Xu Kun, Martial Soul Ring..."

Kou Kou loudly announced the name of each team member and their Martial Soul. A special golden beam shone down, enveloping the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team Two as they entered the arena.

Putting aside their strength, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy look quite impressive.

Their pale gold team uniforms, embroidered with the words "Tiandou Empire," made them look incredibly dashing. Under the illumination of the Lighting Soul Guidance Device, they resembled tiny golden suns, captivating the audience's attention.

"Next up is Blazing Fire Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academies. Captain Huo Wushuang, Martial Soul Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon; Vice-Captain Huo Wu, Martial Soul: Fire Shadow..."

The Blazing Fire Academy team members were all dressed in gold and red team uniforms, and they all looked to be around the same age, around twenty years old.

Leading the way was a man of ordinary appearance, but whose eyes shone with a fiery light.

He is Huo Wushuang, the captain of the Blazing Fire Academy team, Battle Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level. His Martial Soul is similar to Liu Erlong's, a Martial Soul dragon, but it is far less powerful and pure than Liu Erlong's Fire Elemental Sacred Dragon.

Beside Huo Wushuang was a young girl, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang's younger sister, who was also a Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level.

Huo Wu is extremely beautiful, with a hot figure, fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of large, bright silver eyes. Her long, dark red hair falls to her waist, perfectly complementing the gold and red team uniform she is wearing.

A faint smile always graced her face, and her body emanated a subtle red glow, making her as captivating as a flame capable of melting any man.

At the very least, ever since the Blazing Fire Academy team members appeared, Zhou Chen in the VIP room had been keeping his eyes fixed on Huo Wu.

Is she pretty?

Zhu Zhuqing's Youyou voice rang in Zhou Chen's ears, startling him so much that he quickly said, "So-so, not as pretty as my Zhu Zhuqing."

"Yeah?"

Yu Tianmeng, half-reclining on the sofa, sneered and crossed her arms, saying, "Then tell me, is Zhu Zhuqing prettier, or am I prettier, or is Xue Ke prettier?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately stared at Zhou Chen, and Xue Ke's gaze also turned towards them at the same time.

Being stared at by the three women together, Zhou Chen suddenly felt immense pressure. Now, no matter who he said was prettier, it wouldn't work!

"This..."

Zhou Chen broke out in a cold sweat. After thinking it over and over, his eyes finally lit up, and he said, "I've always been face-blind and can't tell who's pretty or not. But I think you are all noble and beautiful fairies, and you should be tolerant and understanding of each other. Why be so fixated on who is prettier?"

"Pfft, hahaha..."

As soon as Zhou Chen said this, Yu Tianmeng burst out laughing and rolled around on the sofa laughing.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke, standing to the side, looked at Yu Tianmeng with some confusion, not understanding what she was laughing at.

However, Zhou Chen's words make a lot of sense. They are all noble and beautiful fairies, and fairies should have the demeanor of fairies. At the very least, they should pretend to be tolerant of each other, instead of fighting and being jealous of each other like this.

Just then, the host Kou Kou's voice rang out again;

"Next up is Team One from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a team His Majesty has high hopes for and is highly likely to win this Soul Master Tournament! Please welcome them to the stage!"

Before the words were even finished, the members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team had already entered the arena.

Leading the group were two women, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Originally, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling planned to Shrek Academy Team.

However, the Three Great Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy personally visited them, hoping that the two of them could support the Heaven Dou Empire. In addition, Xue Ke also followed her father's orders and asked her two older sisters for help in a soft-spoken manner. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were momentarily soft-hearted, joined the team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Today, Dugu Yan wore a jade-green palace dress and looked composed; while Ye Lingling was still wearing her elegant gauze dress and a veil, her beautiful face appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

Behind the two women were the Black Tortoise Turtle Soul Master, the Shi Mo Shi Mo brothers, as well as the Ghost Leopard Oslo and the Wind Bell Bird Yu Feng, all of whom were acquaintances of Zhou Chen.

There was another person Zhou Chen recognized: Yu Tianheng, the former captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, who had been beaten to a Green Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

However, Yu Tianheng was no longer as arrogant as before, and he no longer dared to covet Dugu Yan. He simply followed silently at the back of the group.

As soon as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team entered the field, a piece of music began to play. The more Zhou Chen listened to the stirring music, the more familiar it seemed.

"This... this sounds like the theme song from the Ultraman Tiga series, doesn't it?!"

Zhou Chen immediately turned to look at Yu Tianmeng.

Only Yu Tianmeng would bring songs from Earth to this fantasy world.

"Hehe, how can a large-scale competition be without a theme song and background music? This is just basic stuff for me."

Yu Tianmeng waved his hand modestly and chuckled.

You are truly... someone to be admired.

Zhou Chen was at a loss for words, but the music was indeed very uplifting and could stir up the passion of the participating Soul Master and the audience.

Seeing the two of them talking about strange things, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke suddenly felt like they were very uncultured.

Well, the two women were dumbfounded once again.

Fortunately, the host, Kou Kou, appeared in time, preventing them from feeling embarrassed.

"The Royal Academy's team consists of nine members: seven full members and two substitutes. The captain is the esteemed Miss Dugu Yan, Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorus Snake; the vice-captain is the esteemed Ms. Ye Lingling, whose Martial Soul is the Nine Heart Begonia. Their ranks are respectively..."

At this point, Kou Kou's voice suddenly became flustered, and she said with a shocked expression, "Wait, I need to check first whether their levels were registered incorrectly..."

Upon hearing this, the hundreds of thousands of audience members present all looked at each other blankly.

How could there be a registration error for such a grand competition?

Kou Kou flapped her snow-white wings and flew into the backstage of the Great Spirit Arena, before wobbling back a moment later. At this moment, she looked completely dazed, as if she had been through some kind of shock.

"Distinguished guests, esteemed audience members, the registered ranking of Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team is correct."

Kou Kou the Amplifying Soul Tool, Koukou said in a trembling voice, "Miss Dugu Yan, level... 75, Soul Saint!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared in disbelief, frozen in place, then began whispering among themselves, wondering if they had misheard.

Seeing the audience's disbelieving expressions, Kou Kou his Amplifying Soul Tool again and announced, "Distinguished guests, esteemed audience members, you heard correctly! Miss Dugu Yan is indeed a level 75 Soul Saint!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Almost everyone was dumbfounded. A twenty-year-old girl who was still in the academy was actually Soul Saint?

Are you kidding me?

If she's Soul Saint, then I'm still a Title Douluo!

However, the next second, everyone stopped questioning, and the eyes of hundreds of thousands of viewers all turned to Dugu Yan.

Because beneath Dugu Yan's feet, seven Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black—slowly rose up!

She really is... Soul Saint!

In an instant, a chorus of gasps erupted from the stands; almost everyone was in disbelief!

Soul Saint at twenty years old? What's wrong with this world?

However, at that moment, the host Kou Kou's voice rang out again. "Miss Ye Lingling, the vice-captain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team, level 73, Soul Saint!"

"Team member Shi Mo, level..."

"Team member Shi Mo..."

The audience stopped paying attention to the subsequent introductions; most felt like they were living in a dream.

Ye Lingling is also a Soul Saint!

Adding to the mix Dugu Yan, Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team actually has two Soul Saint experts, both of whom are women!

In ten years, shouldn't these two young ladies become Title Douluo?

All the audience members were completely bewildered and speechless, and the only sound in the entire Great Spirit Arena was the host Kou Kou's introduction.

Even after Dugu Yan and the other members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had left the audience's sight, most people were still in a daze.

"Distinguished guests, esteemed audience members, next up is Heavenly Water Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academies. Please welcome them!"

Before the words were finished, a completely different background music started playing. This time, the music was very melodious and pleasant to listen to, like a clear spring flowing through the air.

"Thump thump thump..."

A series of crisp sounds of high heels clicking on the ground rang out, and the cute girls from the Heavenly Water Academy, led by their captain Shui Binger and vice-captain Xue Wu, slowly entered the arena.

Today, they were all dressed in light blue dresses, their long legs dazzling to behold. Only someone with Zhou Chen's unwavering will could suppress his inner desires.

"It's so beautiful..."

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Heavenly Water Academy, which only admits beautiful female students, it truly lives up to its reputation."

"Hmph, what's the use of being pretty? Strength is what matters. Just now, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both beautiful and strong; they were true beauties of heaven!"
