Bai Yuan vs. Long Yue, Battle of the Greatest Prodigies!
Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
With Soul Beast becoming increasingly rare, Soul Bone that is over ten thousand years old is already an extremely valuable item on the market, with prices so high that they are practically nonexistent.
The prizes personally offered by the Star Luo Empire are certainly of high quality, and may even be of better quality.
Its value is enough to significantly boost the strength of an ordinary family and ensure its prosperity for decades.
The Soul Guide Camera moved to the high platform next to the competition venue at the right time, and the lens was pointed at a cold jade brocade box.
The box was opened, and a Soul Bone lay quietly inside, its weight palpable even through the screen.
In addition to the Soul Bone, the winner will also receive additional rewards from the Star Luo Empire.
The title of Imperial Viscount, and the lifetime entitlement and additional subsidies for their immediate family members to the Imperial Supreme Soul Master Academy.
Other competitions also offer generous rewards.
"Wow! Long live the Star Luo Empire!"
Cheers from the stands surged in from all directions, like a spreading tide, echoing layer by layer along the edge of the dome.
On the Soul Guidance Network, many mid-level Soul Master from the Federation watched the live stream and began to make plans in their minds.
Since I can't get such an opportunity in the Federation, I might as well try my luck in the Star Luo Empire. Maybe I can carve out a niche for myself there.
"Snort."
"Trying to attract attention!"
Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi sat in the rest area, snorted coldly, and looked through the stands to the figure on the dais who was giving a passionate speech.
Dai Tianling's wolfish ambitions could no longer be concealed.
The Star Luo Empire is rising with unstoppable momentum. While the Federation and other major powers appear to be growing stronger, they are already internally fragmented, giving this nascent empire ample room to grow.
He had to truthfully report everything he had seen and heard along the way to the Sea God Pavilion.
But then he thought about it again and slowly withdrew his gaze.
Bai Yuan had said long ago that he would apply for graduation after the exchange program ended; he had never considered himself Shrek student.
The real headache is with the Spirit Pagoda.
As long as I keep an eye on those Shrek kids and make sure they don't get tempted away, everything will be fine.
What do they know?
Why would Soul Master give such a good thing?
Only through hardship can one temper their will!
Take our work-study student dormitories, for example; how many important figures have come from there?
These barbarians from remote areas, how could they possibly understand these principles?
Decline was inevitable, so he closed his eyes to rest and stopped listening to the Star Luo Empire on the platform.
When Shrek and the others heard the conditions, their eyes lit up involuntarily, but they quickly looked away.
If he weren't in Shrek, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist.
After all, they were taught from a young age that Shrek Academy was the most powerful, and they had already decided in their hearts that Shrek was the best academy, and nowhere else was as good as it.
On the podium, Dai Tianling delivered a lengthy speech for most of the event, finally raising his right fist high, his voice echoing across the dome.
"I hereby declare the Continental Elite Youth High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament, Individual Finals, officially open! Contestants, please enter the arena!"
The morning light slowly spread along the edge of the field, falling on two figures walking out of the players' tunnel.
The audience in the Star Luo Empire cheered and waved flags for Long Yue, the sound almost lifting the dome.
The blood of the Star Luo Empire flows in their veins, and they yearn more than anyone else to see Monster Academy uphold the glory of the empire.
On the other side, the Shrek warriors were not to be outdone.
They grew up listening to the legends of Shrek, and their awe of this ancient academy was ingrained in their very bones.
Although Bai Yuan is ostensibly a member of the Spirit Pagoda, they prefer to believe that it is the environment of Shrek that has made him so unstoppable.
Long Yue, sporting his signature bald head, stepped out of the players' tunnel.
His tall, imposing body cast a dark shadow under the lamplight, and his pupils glowed with a dangerous crimson light.
He glanced at Bai Yuan as he stepped onto the competition platform:
"I hope you'll enjoy yourself and not disappoint me."
Across from them, the golden morning light bathed the young man as he walked slowly towards them.
Ignoring all the noise around him, Bai Yuan, with no extra expression on his face, stepped onto the competition stage.
The two stood in the center of the arena, and the moment their eyes met, an invisible vortex slowly formed between them.
En Ci glanced at the two geniuses, confirming they were both in position, raised his right hand high, and then brought it down sharply:
"Focus on communication; avoid doing anything harmful."
"The match begins!"
En Ci's hand fell, but the two people on the stage remained motionless.
The noise from the audience seemed to have been muted by an invisible hand, followed by a surge of voices.
"What's going on? Should we fight or not?"
What are these two doing?
This scene truly stunned most of the audience.
After all, there wasn't a battle that would destroy the world from the start.
Someone closed their eyes and pretended to be profound:
"What do you know? This is what a true master does!"
"I can sense a silent struggle between them!"
The person next to him poured cold water on him without any mercy.
"Hahahaha, you're kidding me, what level of Soul Power do you have?"
"I'm afraid we won't even be able to see their shadows anymore later."
The man blushed, shrank back into his seat, and said nothing more.
Long Yue stood still, his heavy, mountain-like figure slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, his scarlet eyes surging with fighting spirit like magma.
Why don't you attack me?
Bai Yuan stood calmly opposite.
"Wait until you're fully recovered."
Long Yue was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and burst into laughter:
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Happy!"
"Win or lose today, I acknowledge you as my opponent!"
Before his laughter had even subsided and he had finished adjusting his breathing, his aura suddenly surged.
The Mountain Dragon King's Martial Soul possessed him at that moment, causing his body to grow to five meters tall.
Brown scales covered the ground in layers, like the earth itself; bulging muscles radiated a scorching heat; and the shattered pebbles beneath its feet had not yet hit the ground.
His figure had already transformed into a streak of light tearing through the air, rushing towards Bai Yuan with his fist, crushing him down.
That punch carried the force of a collapsing mountain, and a thunderous roar exploded on the fist. The pressure of the punch almost pushed the air on the stage to the sides.
Bai Yuan raised his arm, palm facing the incoming giant fist.
Without dodging or charging up, he simply raised his hand and caught Long Yue's full-force punch.
The moment their fists collided, power overflowed, and a visible shockwave exploded between them, continuously rippling across the surface of the soul-guided protective shield.
The air in the ring trembled from the shock.
Many people in the audience covered their ears in pain, even through the ear shields.
The lingering sound of the collision still made their eardrums tingle.
"Holy crap!"
"I came to see the show!"
"What does this have to do with us!"
"Is this a contest between unparalleled geniuses?"
Someone covered their face and spoke in anguish.
The people around them were too busy to answer.
He endured the pain, his gaze fixed on the black figure on the stage, even his breathing slowed down.
He didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
He believed that watching the battle between these two unparalleled geniuses would greatly improve his own abilities.
"What terrifying destructive power!"
"Is this even human?"
