VS Elephant Armored Sect (Part 1)

"I suspect this was absolutely intentional."

Bu Liu spoke up, "Outside the rest room, we were Taunt by the Elephant Armored Academy team, and now, after the draw, we're facing off against them in the first round—"

"If you say there's no ghost, then there really is one," Bu Qi replied.

Elephant Armored Academy, Elephant Armored Sect...

Zhou Qing seemed to understand the reason.

Salas is using their Nuoding Team to put pressure on the Elephant Armored Sect!

In the original novel, the Elephant Armored Sect became close to the Spirit Hall and even joined the Spirit Hall in the future, but this would inevitably take time. Huyan Zhen could not have become close to the Spirit Hall without a reason.

Its essence is absolutely profit!

For the sect's sake, or perhaps for the Elephant Armored Sect's rapid development...

For Huyan Zhen personally, or perhaps the Spirit Hall could provide him with more Martial Soul cultivation materials and resources, thus helping him break through to the Titled Douluo realm...

As of now, the two sides have not yet reached a complete agreement.

"Is it really that gloomy?"

Even though Xiao Wu knew beforehand that there were serious conflicts of interest between the major powers, she never expected that even the battles in the Continental Elite Tournament had ulterior motives.

"It's that dark."

Zhou Qing shrugged. "Don't be fooled by how inspiring Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas are to say."

But in essence, this Continental Elite Tournament is a game of distributing benefits among the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall, while most of the Soul Master present are kept in the dark.

Full of passion, they were completely unaware that they had become pawns of the higher-ups!

Or perhaps it's for entertainment!

Perhaps for profit!

"And when a group of people stand out from the crowd and become the so-called elites, they truly enter the upper circle and begin to play the game, thus starting the cycle of the next game."

In both past lives and modern society, there were so many sordid things, let alone in this Douluo Era?

It's not an exaggeration to imagine things in the darkest of all!

A short while later.

Then staff members came to lead them out.

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, the audience outside the arena booed them. Only the thirty-six students, the dean of the Nuoding Academy, Mo Hen, Bu Yi, and others cheered for them.

Snap!

When the Elephant Armor trainees took to the field, Soul Guiding Lamp shone on the outer walls, making their already robust physiques appear even more imposing.

Moreover, the seven people stepped onto the stage and deliberately stomped their feet, as if the entire stage was trembling slightly.

In comparison, the seven members of the Nuoding Team are quite unremarkable.

"Elephant Armored Academy, Captain: Huyan Li, Level 35 Defense System Battle Soul Elder." Huyan Li, the captain of the Elephant Armored Academy, announced his name.

"Nuoding Academy, Captain: Zhou Qing, Level 34 All-Round Warrior, capable of support, tanking, attacking, running, and ranged combat." Zhou Qing picked at his ear and replied casually.

Huyan Li narrowed his eyes.

This kid looks down on me!

However, Zhou Qing's attention was not on Huyan Li, but on the three young men beside him who were nearly 2.5 meters tall.

Soul Master with the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul are easy to judge by their strength; just look at their height and build. The larger their physique, the stronger they are.

But this captain was Huyan Li, who was shorter than the other three...

It was clearly because he was Huyan Zhen's grandson.

"Both sides bow!"

Zhou Qing and Huyan Li Bowing Body slightly to each other.

"First match of the first round of the Preliminary Competition! Begin!"

In an instant, the seven members of the Elephant Armored Academy ripped off their black shirts, their Martial Soul Possession, making their muscles even tighter, and a layer of dark yellow light emanated from them, as if their skin had gained an extra layer of keratin.

Even more surprisingly, the noses of the seven people had become longer, and the teeth on both sides of their mouths had extended outwards, resembling two sharp daggers, which was awe-inspiring.

The team consists of seven members, three of whom are Soul Ancestor and the remaining four, including Huyan Li, are Soul Elder. Their Soul Ring Configuration are either two yellow and two purple, or two yellow and one purple.

The seven people simultaneously stepped out with their left legs, stomping hard on the ground, causing the entire field to tremble slightly.

"Sect Master Hu Yan, the students of your Elephant Armored Academy this year are all quite good." In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi turned to Huyan Zhen, who was not far away, and said with a smile.

"It's just so-so."

Despite this, a hint of smugness crept onto Huyan Zhen's lips.

Huyan Zhen Huyan Li n't elaborate much on the fact that Hu Yanli was his eldest grandson this time. After all, Huyan Li was now Soul Elder, but he was also the captain of the Elephant Armored Academy Team, which easily led people to speculate that his status as the eldest grandson was due to connections.

"Sect Master Hu Yan Huyan is too modest. However, this battle will probably be difficult." Ning Fengzhi then changed the subject, bringing up the Nuoding Team.

"Oh? Ning Fengzhi knows that special intermediate academy team?"

It was Salas who spoke up, wanting to know what was going on.

Xue Ye, along with Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng, and the Three Education Commissioners sitting behind him, all pricked up their ears.

"Three years ago, I took my daughter to hunt Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. On the way back, I took her to Vast Sea City to see the sea. We passed through Nuoding City and had a brief encounter there. Zhou Qing from the Nuoding Academy left a deep impression on me." Ning Fengzhi spoke concisely, but he also concealed some things, such as the fact that his first meeting with Zhou Qing was in Falling Star City within the Star Luo Empire, not Nuoding City.

However, the events that occurred in Falling Star City were deliberately concealed by the Star Luo Empire's high-ranking officials, to the point that no one in the Heaven Dou Royal knew exactly what had happened there, so Ning Fengzhi kept a close eye on it.

"So, Sect Master Ning thinks my Elephant Armored Academy Team will lose to a Soul Fight team that hasn't even participated in any battles in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Fighting Arena before the tournament started?" Huyan Zhen's expression was slightly dissatisfied.

"No, I just think that the members of the Nuoding Team are quite strong, and it's not certain that they can beat your academy's team."

However, as soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the audience erupted in a thunderous roar of exclamations.

Huyan Zhen's pupils also dilated suddenly.

Ning Fengzhi was the same.

What did they see?

Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all had first, second, and Third Spirit Ring that were all at the thousand-year level, with different colored patterns on them.

Romantina's First Spirit Ring is white, and her Second Spirit Ring is at the thousand-year level.

The remaining three, Wang Sheng, Bu Liu, and Bu Qi, each only had two Soul Rings, but their Soul Ring also had peculiar patterns resembling Soul Beast totems.

"How did they do that!?"

But no one could answer Huyan Zhen's question.

Even the Three Education Commissioners members and Xue Qinghe, who knew the "Soul Ring Secondary Refinement Theory," were still speechless with shock when they saw those three purple Soul Ring again.

This is a miracle!

Xue Qinghe, in particular, even though she knows that Deity are real, still finds it hard to imagine how humans can control the abilities that only Deity possess.

But it was precisely because she was a successor of the Angel God that she knew they hadn't undergone any Deity trials, and had truly developed the theory of allowing Soul Ring to grow alongside the Martial Soul through their own wisdom...
