50.Chapter 50: Truly Became "Shit-Lack"

Chapter 50: Really Became "Shrek"

Heaven Dou City had gained new vitality due to the hosting of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.

As dawn broke, golden sunlight spilled onto the well-arranged buildings, casting a dazzling radiance upon the imperial capital.

Colorful flags fluttered on both sides of the streets, and the air was filled with a festive and joyous atmosphere.

In the city center, a magnificent and spectacular arena rose from the ground.

This was originally the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, which had been specially expanded and renovated for this competition.

After the renovation, the sub-arena within the Great Soul Arena and the main soul arena center were merged into one, forming a huge arena capable of accommodating eighty thousand spectators simultaneously.

Outside the arena, crowds of people were gathered.

Spirit Masters, nobles, merchants, and citizens from all directions had already gathered here, waiting for the start of the Opening Ceremony and eager to witness the demeanor of the participating young Spirit Masters.

The students who could represent their Advanced Spirit Master Academies in the competition were all the cream of the crop among the young generation of Spirit Masters and were also sought-after targets for various nobles and families.

The participating teams from each academy passed through the wide corridors in succession, preparing to enter the arena.

The onlookers on both sides of the corridor began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Look, the Godwind Academy team is here, still with their iconic azure embroidered team uniforms."

Godwind Academy's overall strength was considered one of the best among the Five Great Element Academies.

Their specialty was wind-like speed and considerable Attack Power.

Furthermore, some Wind Attribute Spirit Masters with flight abilities possessed an advantage in aerial combat.

Therefore, in the previous three Soul Master Competitions, Godwind Academy had achieved good results, always standing out from the Heaven Dou Division.

"That's the Blazing Fire Academy team."

"Wow, that girl is so tall, she looks heroic and valiant."

The Blazing Fire Academy team wore uniform fire red team uniforms with a prominent flame emblem on the chest, making them easy to recognize.

Most notably, the tallest member of the Blazing Fire Academy team was a girl.

"The beauties of the Skywater Academy team are finally here!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn over.

Skywater Academy was the only academy on the Douluo Continent that exclusively recruited female students, with everyone from teachers to students being women.

Moreover, they only recruit beautiful female students with ice and water attributes.

The girls from the Skywater Academy Team wore their iconic light blue team uniforms, each looking fresh, refined, and full of spirit.

In every Soul Master Competition, they were a beautiful sight, drawing attention the moment they appeared.

More teams entered.

"What kind of bizarre team is this? Why are they wearing shit green team uniforms?"

Different voices began to emerge from the crowd, some couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this moment, the Shrek Academy Team happened to be passing by.

The color of their team uniforms was a bit strange, not ordinary green, but a shit green between yellow and green.

Not only that, but each of them had a huge Shrek monster pattern on their chest, colored a vibrant emerald green.

Even more bizarre, on their backs were six prominent characters embroidered with red silk thread: "Sponsorship Advertisements Wanted."

Their team uniforms not only looked strange but also seemed to be made of cheap material.

Therefore, as soon as they walked over, they attracted everyone's attention.

"This is a grand event for advanced Soul Master Academies. Are these weirdos really here to compete?"

"They don't look like Soul Masters at all; they look like they're here to pick up trash. They all look like they just crawled out of a latrine, it's hilarious."

"Look at that fat guy with the big ears. He's not much to look at, yet he's so confident."

"Shh, keep your voice down. What if they are Soul Masters?"

Being discussed and taunted by the crowd, Tang San and the others wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

They could only quickly enter the competition grounds.

The arena was divided into several areas.

There were VIP seats, general spectator areas, rest areas for students from each academy, and the central arena.

At this time, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team was located in the rest area specifically provided for participating students within the main arena.

This rest area was very spacious, with over a thousand seats, divided into sections, provided for the participating students of each Soul Master Academy to rest and wait.

Long Chen and the others wore team uniforms mainly in simple white and gold, with golden embroidery, and the unique emblem of the Royal Academy on their chests.

Overall, they didn't look much different from the team uniforms of other academies.

However, as they came from the Royal Academy, the quality of their clothing fabric was beyond what other academies could match.

The opening ceremony will be held next, followed by a friendly soul fighting match.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team will face one of the participating teams.

The Royal Academy First Team does not need to participate in the preliminary matches or advancement matches. After going through the motions of today's opening ceremony, they will no longer appear on this field and will directly advance to the finals.

However, they can watch the matches between other academy teams to understand their opponents' strength.

The finals are single-elimination. Any team that advances to the finals could become their opponent.

Everyone is waiting for the opening ceremony.

Dugu Yan sized up Long Chen and joked, "Long Chen, it's been ten years since I first met you, and this is the first time I've seen you wear light-colored clothes. Although I'm a bit unaccustomed to it, honestly, you look quite handsome."

Osler added, "Long Chen looks very refined in these clothes, not like a soul master. But who would have thought he possesses the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul with an evil attribute? It's all about the contrast, haha~"

The group chatted and laughed, their expressions relaxed.

After awakening the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul, Long Chen had been wearing dark-colored clothes, mostly black, matching his martial soul and black hair.

He already possessed a more mature mind than his peers, and coupled with his tall stature, the black attire made him appear more steady than others his age.

However, this platinum-colored team uniform made him look much younger, like a youth of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Ye Lingling whispered, "Brother Chen, I also think these light-colored clothes look good."

"Really? I might have to wear them for the entire Soul Master Competition."

More and more participating students walked into the rest area.

Yu Feng saw a few people and suddenly laughed, "Brothers, look quickly, it's the Shrek Seven Devils. Their team uniform colors are too ugly, they've really become Shrek now, haha~"

Yu Feng's laughter was a bit loud, attracting the attention of Dai Mubai and the others.

Long Chen and the others followed Yu Feng's gaze and happened to make eye contact with Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others.

Tang San's gaze swept over them and finally settled on Long Chen.

The moment their eyes met, a strange sensation instantly swept over his entire body.

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"He is Long Chen!"
