In the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, within Star Luo Square.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament had already been underway for three days, and the first round of the Elimination Tournament had concluded.
Today marked the first round of the Round-Robin Tournament.
At this moment, the Host was already warming up the crowd from the elevated platform, announcing the academies that had advanced through the first round, as well as the Round-Robin Tournament groupings.
After a long string of nonsense, the Host finally declared loudly, "Next, let us welcome the delegation from the continent's number one academy, Shrek Academy, and their opponents, the delegation from Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy, to enter the Waiting Area."
"At the same time, please invite the captains of both teams onto the stage to determine the match format."
Near the back of the team Rest Area, a tall, handsome young man frowned upon hearing the Host's words.
"As expected." The man showed no surprise, as though he had long anticipated this outcome.
This man was named Jiang Yi, and he was a transmigrator.
After crossing into Douluo Continent, he had completed his Martial Soul Awakening during the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony organized by Yunluo Academy.
His Martial Soul was called the Endless Battle Body. It was, in truth, a Body Martial Soul, and he possessed Rank Eight Innate Soul Power.
However, his Martial Soul was exceptionally unique. So long as he kept training, his Physical Quality would continue to improve, as though it had no upper limit at all.
Thanks to this unique trait, his Physical Quality had improved by leaps and bounds, allowing his First Soul Ring to be a thousand-year one.
He was now fourteen years old and his Soul Power had reached Level Forty. His first three Soul Rings were respectively two thousand five hundred years, six thousand nine hundred years, and nine thousand nine hundred years.
In truth, he had already reached a bottleneck, yet he had not fused with his Fourth Soul Ring.
In terms of Physical Quality, he could absolutely fuse with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. But when it came to Spiritual Power, he was completely incapable of doing so.
Because he had discovered that his Martial Soul had a fatal flaw.
His Spiritual Power practically did not grow at all.
Ordinarily, after awakening Soul Power, a person's Spiritual Power would naturally increase throughout cultivation.
Though the pace was slow, it still improved. That was why Spirit Masters generally became energetic after cultivating.
But Jiang Yi was completely different. His Physical Quality grew as though it were riding a rocket, while his Spiritual Power seemed to have stagnated and would not improve in the slightest.
His Soul Power had already reached Level Forty, yet his Spiritual Power remained like that of an ordinary person's, perhaps even a little weaker.
Jiang Yi realized that this was his fatal weakness. With Spiritual Power that did not grow, what he feared most was Mental Attack.
Moreover, due to his weak Spiritual Power, even when his body was still full of energy,
he had no choice but to stop training and rest because of mental exhaustion.
For this reason, despite already reaching a bottleneck and being capable of fusing with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, he had delayed doing so.
He was genuinely afraid that the soul shock from a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would kill him.
He had always wanted to solve this problem, but he had never found a way.
The teachers at Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy valued his talent and had found many high-level Healing Soul Masters for him.
They had also used many Medicinal Herbs, but unfortunately, none of them had any effect.
His Spiritual Power seemed immune to any external influence. If it could not grow, then it simply could not grow.
Of course, Jiang Yi had not given up hope. Soul Bones existed on Douluo Continent.
If he fused with a Head Soul Bone, perhaps his Spiritual Power could increase?
That was why, as team captain, he had brought the people of Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy to participate in the tournament.
With his current Physical Strength, if he had Good Luck, winning the championship would not be a problem.
Unfortunately, his luck did not seem particularly good. Just as in the original story, Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy had encountered Shrek in the first round of the Round-Robin Tournament.
"Huo Yuhao, my abilities are naturally countered by yours, but I will never Admit Defeat."
Determination flashed through Jiang Yi's eyes as he rose to his feet and walked toward the Competition Stage.
On Another Side, Bei Bei of Shrek Academy also stood up.
After the Death Messenger Incident, they were severely short-handed. At This Moment, only the Reserve Team could fight.
The two had already arrived on the Competition Stage when the Referee took out a Drawing Tube.
Inside were red, yellow, and blue Small Balls. Red represented a team battle, yellow represented an Individual Battle, and blue represented the two-two-three format.
Jiang Yi and Bei Bei extended their hands at the same time and pressed against the Drawing Tube.
Then they exerted force simultaneously, flinging the Drawing Tube high into the air.
The Drawing Tube spun continuously, and eventually, a Small Ball fell out.
The Referee stomped his foot, leaped high into the air, and caught the Small Ball.
"Yellow ball. Shrek Academy versus Yunluo Academy will proceed in a One-on-One Individual Battle format. Both sides, send out your combatants."
Jiang Yi did not hesitate in the slightest and Turned and Left.
Bei Bei Gazed At Jiang Yi's retreating back, his expression solemn. He felt an invisible sense of oppression from Jiang Yi.
After returning to the Rest Area, Jiang Yi said directly to his teammates, "I'll go first."
"Captain, no tactics?" Ma Yingjun asked hesitantly.
"Shrek is stronger than us. There's no point in tactics. I'll do my best to take them out," Jiang Yi said, shaking his head.
The reason he said he would do his best was because Huo Yuhao, a Spirit Master specializing in mental abilities, was present.
The others exchanged glances, but none of them said anything more.
Jiang Yi had always been the unquestioned authority on their team.
Jiang Yi walked straight toward the Competition Stage, while Shrek Academy, unsurprisingly, sent out Xu Sanshi.
"In the Individual Elimination Tournament, the losing side must immediately leave the stage. The winner may choose to continue fighting or withdraw and be replaced."
"Each side will send seven people. The match ends when all seven members of one side have lost. Understand?"
"Understood," Jiang Yi answered calmly.
"Understood." Xu Sanshi wore a smug grin, looking as though he did not take Jiang Yi seriously at all.
After all, in his perception, Jiang Yi was merely a Level Forty Soul Elder. How could he possibly be a match for a genuine Soul Ancestor like him?
One Soul Ring could create an enormous gap.
"Both sides, retreat to the edge of the Competition Stage," the Referee Let Out A loud shout.
Both sides quickly took their positions. The Referee gave another command, and the Match Start.
The instant his words fell, Jiang Yi stomped hard, and the entire Arena seemed to shake.
A ring-shaped shockwave burst violently from the tip of his foot.
Where his right foot had landed, a depression over a meter deep and wide appeared directly.
A terrifying sound of air tearing rang out across the Competition Stage, startling the spectators present.
With such terrifying speed, Jiang Yi crossed nearly a Hundred Meters almost instantly and arrived before Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi, who had originally wanted to toy with Jiang Yi, had only just released his Martial Soul. Seeing this, his Wide Open Eyes filled with shock and fear.
Boom!
At This Moment, Jiang Yi had already thrown his fist, and the sound of air tearing rang out once more.
The fierce wind lashed Xu Sanshi's face painfully. He raised his hand with all his Full Strength and lifted the Black Tortoise Shield to block.
