Xu Zhao: I, Crown Prince of Great Ming, the Sun-Moon Douluo! The guards were scared to tears!

"And those family disciples we brought from overseas, who usually act as if their eyes are above the clouds—bring them out and let them stretch their legs this time too!"

"I want to assemble the top young geniuses of my Great Ming Empire to form a 'Great Ming Royal Team'!"

Xu Yu waved his hand, his spirit soaring:

"I want the people of this Douluo Continent to see clearly what true heaven-gifted prodigies are!"

Xu Zhao bowed slightly and smiled:

"Father is wise.

Since that is the case, I shall await Father's good news on my way to the north.

Once the team is assembled, you can have them head directly to Martial Soul City to rendezvous with me."

"Go."

Xu Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Leaving the Diligence Hall.

Xu Zhao pondered.

Since his father had already agreed to form the team, he naturally had to run through the list of candidates in his mind.

"Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament..."

Xu Zhao whispered the name, the rules of the tournament surfacing in his mind:

"Participating students must be under twenty-five years of age, and each match must maintain a roster of seven people on the field."

"Under twenty-five..."

Xu Zhao's footsteps suddenly faltered, and he subconsciously touched his chin, his expression turning somewhat strange.

If calculated by bone age, he himself seemed to have just turned twenty-something this year, perfectly meeting the entry criteria!

"If I were to enter the field myself..."

Xu Zhao imagined the scene:

A group of "geniuses" who were still smug about breaking through to become level 40 Soul Ancestors, or who were in awe of possessing a single ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Suddenly facing a level 94 "monster."

That scene, I'm afraid, wouldn't just be a crushing victory; it would be a dimensional strike.

It would be an adult rushing into a kindergarten to beat up the toddlers.

"Heh, although this dark humor is a bit heavy, I have to say... it feels great."

A playful smile curled the corners of Xu Zhao's mouth.

If it really came down to the grand finals.

When the so-called "Golden Generation" of Martial Soul Hall thought victory was in their grasp, and he suddenly stepped onto the field to give them a slap in the face.

I wonder if that cold, aloof face of Bibi Dong would crack on the spot?

After all, he was only 20 years old!

"Besides me, this starting lineup needs a few others who can hold their own."

Xu Zhao put away his thoughts and began to search his mind for the outstanding members of the younger generation of the Great Sun Prince Mansion.

The first name that popped up was, naturally, Lan Yiyi, who stuck to him all day long.

"Yiyi..."

Thinking of that girl who appeared as soft as water on the outside, but whose talent was terrifyingly monstrous on the inside.

Xu Zhao couldn't help but shake his head, a trace of helpless indulgence flashing in his eyes.

Lan Yiyi.

Only twenty years old.

A level 87 Soul Douluo!

Such talent, let alone in the current Douluo Continent, even in the Peerless Tang Sect era of the second series.

It would still be one in a million!

One must know, the Golden Generation that Martial Soul Hall was so proud of.

Even the best among them, Hu Liena and Xie Yue, were at most level 50-something Soul Kings.

Letting a level 87 Soul Douluo fight a group of Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings?

This wasn't just bullying; it was practically a crime.

"If Yiyi takes the field, I'm afraid she could scare the other side into wetting their pants just with her aura."

Xu Zhao chuckled, having already listed Lan Yiyi as a "nuclear weapon" level trump card in his heart.

Following that, Xu Zhao's thoughts turned to the Kong family behind his mother, Kong Yan.

"That little girl from the Kong family, Kong Xuan, was it?"

Xu Zhao vaguely remembered the young girl who used to follow behind his mother, timidly calling him cousin.

Although she was introverted, her talent for cultivation was extremely high.

At only nineteen years old, she had already broken through the fifty-level threshold, becoming a Soul King.

"And the Hongchen Family..."

A glint of light flashed in Xu Zhao's eyes.

The reason the Great Sun Prince Mansion could possess a Steel Fleet.

Beyond the Kong family, the soul tool technology of the Hongchen Family was equally indispensable.

And in this generation of the Hongchen Family, an incredible genius had emerged—Ao Hongchen.

"Ao Hongchen, twenty-two years old, a level 63 Soul Emperor, and even more impressively, a rare level 6 Soul Master."

In this Douluo Continent, where soul tool technology was still in its infancy or even fragmented.

What did a level 6 Soul Master mean?

It meant that he alone was a mobile artillery battery!

While Tang San was still feeling smug about the power of his Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

Ao Hongchen could likely pull out a Soul Ray Gun and a Fixed Soul Cannon to teach him a lesson.

"Sending Ao Hongchen onto the field will be the perfect way to let the bumpkins of this continent witness what it means for 'technology to change warfare'."

Xu Zhao nodded with satisfaction.

Besides these few, the Elder Hall also had some promising seedlings.

The grandson of the Third Pontiff, the Golden Dragon Douluo Silver Crow, was Yin Chen.

Twenty-four years old, a level 64 Soul Emperor.

Finally, Xu Zhao thought of the closed-door disciple recently taken in by the Grand Pontiff Wei Kurong.

"Yin Hong..."

This young man had a rough background, yet he possessed an extremely special martial soul—a Body Martial Soul, his hands.

Only eighteen years old, a level 51 Soul King.

Although his Soul Power Level was not the highest among them, the potential for a second awakening of a Body Martial Soul was immense.

Moreover, his close-combat ability was terrifying; he was a rare and gifted freak.

"Myself, Lan Yiyi, Kong Xuan, Ao Hongchen, Yin Chen, Yin Hong..."

Xu Zhao silently calculated this lineup in his mind.

Two Soul Douluo-level combatants (counting Xu Zhao himself), two Soul Emperors, and two Soul Kings.

Just find a few more people to fill the numbers.

The team would be complete.

"Is this even going to a competition?"

Xu Zhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking up toward the direction of Martial Soul City, his eyes filled with a domineering aura that looked down upon the world:

"This is clearly going to a slaughter."

"Shrek Seven Devils?

Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation?"

"I hope they can take a hit, otherwise... this game will be too boring."

"So this is Longxing City?"

On the street, Xu Zhao and Lan Yiyi walked side by side.

Lan Yiyi looked around with curiosity.

The architectural styles of Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent were vastly different.

"Where is the Defense Clan?"

Lan Yiyi asked with great interest.

"Just ask anyone, and we'll know."

Xu Zhao said softly.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, is that 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone you mentioned real?"

Lan Yiyi reached out and shook Xu Zhao's arm.

She said with a hint of coquettishness.

"Of course it's real, how could it be fake?"

Xu Zhao smiled faintly.

"Hehe, I just find it a bit hard to believe!"

Lan Yiyi pouted, sighing with a hint of emotion.

"You know as well as I do that the 100,000 Year Soul Bone passed down in our Lan Clan would never fall to me."

"Or rather, by the time it's my turn to inherit it, I'll be on the verge of death even if I'm still alive!"

Soul Masters of the Lan Clan, or more accurately, Blue Silver Emperor Soul Masters, generally enjoy long lives.

Lan Ya is currently level 94 and only in her prime, despite being several decades old.

Barring any surprises, reaching the Super Douluo realm in the future is a certainty.

Even if she doesn't reach level 99, she still has hundreds of years of life ahead of her.

Who knows how long it will take for it to be Lan Ya's turn!
