As the wealthiest nation on the Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire could naturally host a tournament like this with ease. Even so, it had spent three full months preparing for the event.
Mingdu, the continent's largest city, had also expanded many of its hotels and added guest rooms so it could accommodate more visitors during this grand occasion, especially merchants from other regions, and reap greater profits.
As the continent's foremost nation of soul engineers, the Sun Moon Empire had spared no expense on this tournament. The final prizes were no longer soul bones, but soul tools instead.
The champion team would receive a Level 9 Soul Tool, the runner-up a Level 8 one, and the third-place team a Level 7 one.
These three soul tools were worth even more than soul bones. In particular, the Level 9 Soul Tool awarded to the champion team was practically priceless in the current age. Only the Sun Moon Empire possessed Level 9 Soul Tools.
Moreover, rumor had it that the Sun Moon Empire had already developed humanoid soul tools such as battle armor and mecha, which could greatly enhance a soul master's combat strength. Anyone who obtained such a soul tool would surely rise to the pinnacle of life!
With such lavish rewards on offer, every competing team was rubbing its hands in anticipation and striving for a higher ranking. This was not merely a chance to make a name for themselves in a single battle, but also an opportunity to reap substantial rewards!
For modern soul masters, growing stronger meant relying on soul tools as well as their own cultivation. Yet the exorbitant prices of advanced soul tools made almost all soul masters shrink back at the sight.
Without money, becoming a powerhouse was utterly impossible.
