Advanced Soul Master Tournament Opens

Eight days passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen stood atop a high platform in Wuhun Hall, overlooking the entire city. The Advanced Soul Master Tournament was about to begin.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully triggering a choice:

Choice One: The soul beast beside Tang San is exposed. Tang Hao comes to the rescue. Kill Tang Hao and Tang San. Reward: one Level-Five Soul Power Upgrade Card.

Choice Two: The soul beast beside Tang San is exposed. Tang Hao comes to the rescue. Let Tang Hao and Tang San go. Reward: a Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring."

Jiang Chen had not expected the system choice to trigger at this moment. Even if the system had not presented these options, he would have done the same. In the end, the system was merely icing on the cake.

"System, I choose Option One."

"Congratulations, Host, for making your choice. Reward: one Level-Five Soul Power Upgrade Card."

"System, use the Soul Power Upgrade Card."

Jiang Chen only felt a warm current surge through his body as his meridians gradually expanded.

Jiang Chen's cultivation had also reached a bottleneck. He only needed to wait for the next system choice to trigger and obtain a Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring. Most system rewards were tailored to his needs; Jiang Chen had noticed that long ago.

No soul power, and it gave him a Soul Power Upgrade Card. No soul ring, and it gave him a soul ring. Where else could he find such a good system?

Even if he reached the Supreme God or Ultimate God realm, it would merely mean triggering system choices a few more times. What Jiang Chen looked forward to more was whether the system would unbind itself or reward him with something else once his cultivation reached its peak.

Through his thoughts, Jiang Chen contacted the more than five hundred Title Douluo he had summoned. They were already in Wuhun City.

Jiang Chen then contacted Dongfang Yuechu. From him, he learned that Xiao Wu was preparing to leave Star Dou Forest. Jiang Chen told Dongfang Yuechu to come to Wuhun City and join the main force.

Everything was ready. Even numerous First-Level Gods would find it impossible to escape!

The next day.

"Xiao Chen, Wuhun Hall is the organizer. This time, you will represent Wuhun Hall and give a speech on stage."

Bibi Dong spoke gently.

"Alright, Teacher."

Jiang Chen felt that his teacher's attitude toward him had improved considerably.

But the moment her attitude changed was the beginning of her downfall.

Jiang Chen followed Bibi Dong to an arena in front of the hall. This was the venue for the Soul Master Tournament.

By noon, all participating academies had arrived.

"Next, let us welcome Wuhun Hall's Holy Son, Jiang Chen, to deliver the pre-match speech!"

Cheers and applause erupted one after another.

"Ahem. I am Jiang Chen, the Holy Son of Wuhun Hall. It is an honor to deliver this pre-match speech."

"Wow, he's so handsome. If only I could..."

"..."

Some of the female contestants stood and gazed at Jiang Chen, little stars sparkling in their eyes.

A woman in black stared at Jiang Chen, but there was no affection in her eyes. Instead, she looked like a venomous snake eyeing its prey. "He is filled with divinity. If I could absorb his blood, then wouldn't I..."

Jiang Chen looked at the cheers of the women throughout the venue, along with the occasional shameless remarks mixed in. There was nothing he could do. Being too handsome was also a crime!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen looked in a certain direction. A black-clad woman with purple-black lips was staring directly at him. He saw a different kind of intent in her gaze.

"Oh? Interesting..."

"Ahem. Please quiet down. Next, I will officially open this tournament!"

For a moment, the cheers weakened considerably.

"The fact that you can participate in this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Tournament proves that you are the best among the elite. The tournament follows the principle of friendship first and competition second. No team may maliciously injure others or cause death or disability. Stop when appropriate. Those who violate the rules will be disqualified from this tournament, and their academy will be stripped of its qualification for the next tournament!"

"Here, I would also like to solemnly wish everyone the best. May you forge friendships through the competition, demonstrate your spirit, and achieve outstanding results!"

"The rewards for the top three are Soul Bones!"

"A golden-scaled creature is no mere thing in a pond; once it encounters wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon!"

"Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen!"

"Phew..."

Jiang Chen returned backstage as the cheers gradually died down.

"Ah, this damned good looks of mine. If being handsome is a crime, then my sins are beyond redemption!"

Jiang Chen turned around and saw a familiar figure standing before him. The expression on his face instantly became awkward.

"Tea... Teacher."

"Xiao Chen, you seem to enjoy those little girls cheering for you?"

Jiang Chen looked at Bibi Dong's frosty, beautiful face.

Is she jealous?!

"No... no, Teacher, I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first!"

Jiang Chen vanished in a flash.

"Phew... That was fucking awkward!"

"..."

"Junior Brother, why are you here?"

Jiang Chen followed the voice and looked over. She had a slender yet curvaceous figure, especially those legs that could squeeze a man to death—but that face... Huh? Why did that face look so much like Hu Liena's?

Wasn't this his cheap senior sister?

"Senior Sister, shouldn't you be at the venue? Why did you come here?"

Jiang Chen asked in confusion.

Hu Liena looked at Jiang Chen with a half-smile and a hint of scrutiny. "Junior Brother, you probably don't know that this is... the women's restroom, do you?"

Jiang Chen said, "The women's restroom?"

Jiang Chen was still hesitating. He had not looked when he came in, and this place was vastly different from the restrooms in his memories—far more grand. She wasn't messing with him, was she?

Suddenly, a quiet-looking girl in a short skirt emerged from behind Hu Liena. When she saw Jiang Chen, her face was filled with disdain.

"How did I end up in the women's restroom without noticing?" Jiang Chen muttered in confusion.

Hu Liena wore an expression that said she understood everything. She poked Jiang Chen's chest with a slender finger and grinned mischievously, as if saying that she had caught him red-handed.

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister understands that you have such special hobbies. But be more careful when peeping next time. Senior Sister will help you keep it secret this time!"

Hu Liena patted her full chest and promised with an air of righteous solemnity.

"Senior Sister, you have to keep it secret, or my image will be completely ruined!"

"Hey, no, that's not it! What secret are we keeping?"

Seeing Jiang Chen's flustered appearance, Hu Liena was delighted and giggled. "Alright, Senior Sister believes you're not that kind of person. I was only teasing you!"

"My dear Junior Brother, Senior Sister is leaving first. Don't wander into the wrong place again next time~"

Hu Liena left the women's restroom, turning back to give Jiang Chen a seductive look.

Jiang Chen's blood immediately surged. "Damn it, I wronged Di Xin. Who could withstand a fox spirit like that?"

"Little girl, just wait. One day, you'll be kneeling down and calling me Daddy as you beg for mercy!"

"You dared to toy with me? I'll deal with you using a big stick and let you know I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
