The First One-on-One Match Begins

Then, after the unruly Princess was driven away, the banquet was not disturbed again.

After the banquet, we returned to the hotel, but since the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament was still a while away.

After all, a month or so was enough time to prepare, so the group took the opportunity to start cultivating.

Of course, during this month or so, it was probably because he himself did not know his whereabouts, plus Dai Tianling was watching over him.

Therefore, the certain Princess probably did not attempt to find Wu Yang Jin.

Then, more than a month passed, and the day of the competition finally arrived.

After a well-organized registration process, the number of legally registered participants for the one-on-one competition reached 5,163.

Moreover, almost all eligible Soul Master chose to sign up for the competition, since winning or losing is an opportunity to showcase themselves.

Of course, there are other team competitions as well, with a total of 864 pairs of participants in the two-on-two format.

There were 113 teams that registered for the seven-on-seven competition, and 461 teams that registered for the mech battle.

In fact, the students of the Shrek Academy don't need to go through the trouble of queuing up to register.

After all, Shrek Academy is too famous, and their enrollment is directly handled by the Star Luo Empire.

On this day, the area around Star Luo Grand Stadium was packed with people, and many streets were closed.

At this point, the group separated to enter the designated player entrance.

Upon entering the Great Stadium, the first thing they felt was the incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere emanating from the stands.

Cheers rose and fell like crashing waves, making it difficult to hear each other even when speaking at close range.

Meanwhile, inside the Great Stadium, rows of competition stands stand side by side.

Each arena is protected by a dedicated Soul Guidance Barrier.

Its purpose is to prevent mutual interference or the loss of energy.

"Gu Yue, are you really not going to participate in the individual competition?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Okay, I'll just watch Yang Jin's performance," Gu Yue said.

Therefore, Wu Yang Jin did not try to persuade him further, and as the competition rules stated, he had to sign a waiver of liability.

Individual competitions allow the use of any ability, so a waiver of liability must be signed.

Of course, actual injuries and fatalities are rare, and the referee will also stop the game when necessary.

However, this is the first time these people have ever faced a life-or-death situation in such a fiercely contested match.

Next, Wu Yang Jin's number 300 was arranged to compete against an opponent number 333.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the cheers from the audience grew even louder, and Wu Yang Jin noticed that there were familiar faces in the stands.

That person was none other than the Forging Master Lin Yu Han, and her master was right beside her.

Wu Yang Jin waved his hand in response, knowing that the other party had already noticed him.

On the other side of him was a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.

The young man was tall and well-proportioned, and he gave off a very composed feeling.

"Hmm? Wu Xie's competition is about to begin. But Elder Lin, this is only the preliminary round. Do you really need to come and watch it in person? You really care too much about your precious disciple," the thin old man on the left joked.

The man he called Old Lin was a tall, dignified old man.

"You know, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. And although it's unlikely we'll encounter strong opponents in the preliminary rounds, I still need to observe him. After all, I need to know if Wu Xie is listening to me. Besides, he's already eighteen this year, and this is his last chance to participate in the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, so he absolutely cannot afford to fail. He must at least make it into the top eight," Elder Lin said calmly.

"Haha, Elder Lin, your goal isn't high enough! I remember Wu Xie is already One-Word Battle Armor Master, and at the Five Rings level. You have to understand, finding an opponent in the entire competition isn't easy. Besides, even the so-called elite students at the Monster Academy are nothing special. I think this preliminary round will be over in a flash, and Wu Xie might even have a chance to compete for the top three," the gaunt old man said.

"I hope so, but I'm more worried about the preliminary rounds because the groups are randomly assigned. If I'm extremely unlucky, it's not impossible that I'll be grouped with those Little Monster from the Monster Academy. If that happens, it'll be troublesome. The preliminary rounds are an elimination round; there's no second chance," Elder Lin said.

"At least this first one isn't. It's a completely unfamiliar little guy, and he doesn't look very old. I guess he's just here to make an appearance. He looks like he's never seen anything before. He's just good-looking, but he's not very useful. I guess we can prepare to leave." The thin old man said.

"Hmm." Old Lin nodded.

Although Wu Yang Jin didn't hear it, one can only say that people these days are out of their minds.

"In the first round of the knockout stage, number 333 will face number 631."

"Ready, countdown, five, four, three, two, one, go!"

Contestant number 631 Ling Wu Xie, and he comes from an ancient sect.

He came to participate in this competition hoping to make a name for himself, but unfortunately his opponent was Wu Yang Jin.

Of course, Ling Wu Xie had participated in the competition three years ago when he was only fifteen years old.

That time, he performed exceptionally well and ultimately made it into the top 64.

He has been training hard for the past three years, hoping to achieve better results in this final competition.

He did not underestimate Wu Yang Jin; in fact, he showed respect by bowing slightly before the match.

After the match began, a glint flashed in his eyes, and five Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet, two yellow and three purple.

It can be said that this is the best Soul Ring combination, and his Martial Soul also manifested accordingly.

"Wow, look! It's actually the Soul King!"

"My God, this guy is doomed."

Then, a burst of intense light shot out and landed in my palm; it was a long sword, more than four feet long.

There are nine silver-white metal rings on it, the same color as the blade.

The moment the Nine Ring Silver Blade appeared, Ling Wu Xie's five Soul Ring suddenly floated up and merged into the longsword.

Then, the first five silver rings of the Nine Ring Silver Blade immediately turned the same color as his previous Soul Ring.

"Hmm? This kind of weapon Martial Soul is quite interesting," Wu Yang Jin thought.

Then, as the blade flashed, Wu Yang Jin charged forward and was then imbued with the Ice Empress's Claws.

However, since the Martial Soul was not revealed, it was just an ice elemental attachment to the opponent.

"Hmm? He didn't even use his Martial Soul? He only used ice element? It seems he was scared by me." Ling Wu Xie thought to himself.

"How foolish," Wu Yang Jin said.

As he spoke, the Ice Empress's Claws struck, and then, with a crack, the blade shattered.
