Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

A large number of soldiers were also dispatched from within the city to maintain order and prevent any accidents from occurring.

The competition was held in Star Luo Plaza in front of Star Luo Imperial City. The square was very large and could accommodate a large number of spectators.

A full 30,000 soldiers were deployed to the square to maintain order.

Not far from Star Luo Plaza, there is a seven-story luxury hotel called Star Emperor Hotel.

This is the hotel designated for the participants of this competition.

Yesterday, Jiang Yi and his group finally arrived here from the Ming Dou Mountain Range, because Shrek Academy was the champion of the previous year.

They were assigned to stay on the top floor of the hotel, where the only other guests were from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy of the Sun Moon Empire.

The competition starts tomorrow, and everyone is gathered in the conference room for a pre-match pep talk.

Sitting at the conference table, everyone's expressions were calm, except for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, whose faces were somewhat pale.

Ling Luochеn looks quite well; she should be fully recovered in about four days.

"Looks like everyone had a good rest at home yesterday. The first match starts tomorrow, so let me introduce the rules of this competition."

Lin Yu smiled, her tone relatively relaxed.

Because they had received news that Gongyang Mo and the others were all fine and only needed to rest for a while to fully recover.

Then they naturally had no worries about the future.

As for reinforcements, everyone felt that they were unnecessary.

With Jiang Yi around, getting through the first few rounds was a piece of cake.

"This year's competition has a total of 133 participating teams, and they are all currently staying in hotels."

"Because there are so many teams, the first round will be a knockout tournament."

"One match decides the winner; the loser is eliminated."

"The first round of the competition will be a team battle, and the draw will take place after the opening ceremony tomorrow. The first round is expected to conclude in about three days."

"After the first round, the second round of the round-robin tournament will begin, and the round-robin tournament will use a randomized format."

"One type is a single-elimination format, the second is a two-on-two-three cooperative battle mode, and the third is a seven-on-seven team battle, with a draw held before each match begins."

"I'll explain the other two formats to you after the knockout stage is over."

"Alright, meeting adjourned. Take a break and prepare for tomorrow's elimination rounds," Lin Yu said with a smile to everyone.

No one said much, and they all dispersed to return to their rooms to cultivate.

"Little Yi, come to my room and help me suppress this Evil Fire."

After the others left, Ma Xiaotao came to Jiang Yi's side and whispered something.

"Okay." Jiang Yi readily agreed.

Ma Xiaotao hadn't sought Jiang Yi to suppress her Evil Fire for a long time, and a considerable amount had accumulated within her.

This injury caused her to lose control of her inner Evil Fire.

If things continue like this, while it won't get out of control, our combat effectiveness will definitely drop significantly.

Now that I'm participating in a competition, I naturally need to suppress my inner Evil Fire.

Upon entering the room, having gained so much experience in suppressing opponents, the two didn't waste any words and immediately began the suppression.

The Life Force entered Ma Xiaotao's body and soon became entangled with her flames.

As expected, the resonance of the Martial Soul reappeared.

During the last resonance, Jiang Yi gleaned a basic understanding of how to control the Fire of Life.

This time, naturally, I also wanted to gain something and improve my proficiency in controlling the Fire of Life.

Their bodies were enveloped in flames, which were so warm that they didn't even ignite the blankets and pillows on the bed when they touched them.

It appears to pose no harm whatsoever.

Maintaining this state, time passed second by second, and approximately three hours later.

The two slowly woke up. A flash of blue-gold flame appeared in Jiang Yi's eyes, and he gained some new insights into the Fire of Life.

Ma Xiaotao was also filled with surprise; her control over the flames had improved.

However, the main issue wasn't this problem; rather, she felt that if things continued this way, she and Jiang Yi might develop Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The idea that Blue Silver Grass and Evil Fire Phoenix can Martial Soul Fusion is truly unbelievable.

However, the Martial Soul Resonance was a real occurrence.

Ma Xiaotao turned around and excitedly told Jiang Yi her guess.

Jiang Yi nodded slowly after hearing this. Ma Xiaotao's guess was correct. With the existence of the Pact of Clarity, there was originally some connection between them.

If Jiang Yi continues to improve his understanding of the Fire of Life, it's not impossible for the two of them to complete the Martial Soul Fusion and unleash Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Little Yi, let's find time to cultivate together every day from now on, once we have Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"This is like having another trump card. What do you think?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Jiang Yi expectantly.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly, "If Sister Xiaotao agrees, then I naturally have no problem with it."

Cultivating with Ma Xiaotao would deepen his understanding of the Fire of Life, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

If he can fully comprehend the Fire of Life, then he can further master the Life Withering, which would undoubtedly be another qualitative leap in his strength.

The next morning, the long-awaited Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament finally began.

Stepping out of his hotel room, he planned to take the Soul Guide Elevator to the first floor and then head to Star Luo Plaza.

Coincidentally, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team also emerged from the room.

The two teams, who had been rivals in major competitions for many years, immediately set their sights on each other.

Looking at the somewhat young team from the Shrek Academy, the people from the Sun Moon Empire showed expressions of doubt.

Why would Shrek Academy send such a young team to compete?

Is it a smokescreen? Or is it for some other reason?

Jiang Yi looked at the people opposite him and identified some of them by their appearance.

Meng Hongchen, with her long, wine-red hair and blue eyes, lingered on Jiang Yi for a long time before shifting her gaze to Wang Dong.

With delicate features, a tall and straight figure, and very long fingers, Xiao Hongchen had an air of arrogance about him.

After exchanging a brief glance, Lin Yu led her team away without saying a word to them.

After they left, the instructor leading the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy flashed anger in his eyes.

In his view, Shrek Academy sending such a young team was a complete disregard for them.

At this time, all the surrounding streets in Star Luo Plaza had been blocked off by soldiers, and no one except the participating teams was allowed to pass by.

The competition venue for this event had already been set up at the main gate of the imperial city.

The entire competition platform is 100 meters long and wide, and 5 meters high. There are 108 metal pillars around the platform.

The pillars are not decorations, but Defensive Soul Tool. Once the competition begins, 108 Soul Master will input their Soul Power to activate these Defensive Soul Tool.

All energy is contained within the stage, preventing harm to the spectators.

On the city wall of the imperial city, Xu Jiawei wore a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple-gold crown.

This is the best spot to watch the game, offering a clear view of everything happening on the stage.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready," a minister in a red robe approached and said respectfully.

Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded, "Alright, in that case, pass on my order: open all entrances and allow the audience to enter the venue in an orderly manner."

"This competition has been in preparation for so long, and it's finally happening smoothly. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Your Majesty has always possessed the heart of a warrior," the Empress said with a smile.

"The participating teams have already started entering the venue. I heard that Shrek Academy has only sent a few young people this time."

"Dai Hao's son is in there too, but what interests me more is Jiang Yi." Xu Jiawei stared at Jiang Yi, who was standing at the front of the line.

The Empress was very surprised to hear the name: "Jiang Yi, is that Chief Jiang, at the age of thirteen, developed a theory that could change the continent?"

After all, everyone thought Jiang Yi was a theorist; who would have thought he would actually participate in the competition?

"That's right, it's him. The fact that he's here to participate in the competition means he's definitely not weak."

"Everyone thinks he's a theoretical Grandmaster, but they overlook the fact that he's also someone who could enter Shrek Academy based on his talent," Xu Jiawei sighed.

The Empress exclaimed, "Then wouldn't he be a man of both literary and martial talents?"

"We'll have to wait and see after the competition; he's still too young."

"Theory is not limited by age, but ability is," Xu Jiawei said.

He could tell Jiang Yi's Soul Power at a glance; to be honest, level 36 wasn't particularly outstanding.

His performance was far below the average level of this competition. To be honest, he wasn't optimistic about Jiang Yi's current situation.

Of course, the real stage for him will be the major competition five years from now.

Half an hour later, all the participating teams and spectators had entered the venue.

The once deserted Star Luo Plaza is now bustling with activity, and you can hardly see anyone else.

In a corner of the front row, Li Lingyu and Aunt Rou were closely watching the players on the field.

"Nannan and Little Yi are over there!" Aunt Rou pointed excitedly to the Shrek Academy team's location.

She was naturally overjoyed to see her child participate in such a competition.

Li Lingyu naturally saw them as well, and a smile appeared on her face.

But then, strangely, he frowned.

Shrek Academy only sent a few people, and most of them were Soul Ancestor.

Li Lingyu was also confused. "What's going on here?"

His body stiffened instantly, and his eyes stared blankly at the Shrek team's position.

Lin Yu, who went to draw lots, has already returned to the Shrek team.

Feeling Li Lingyu's gaze, Lin Yu seemed to sense it and turned to look, but found nothing unusual.

Li Lingyu had already lowered her head with lightning speed, her body standing stiffly in place.

At this moment, Xu Jiawei, who was on the platform, began his speech.

"Alright, I hereby declare the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament officially open!"

With his loud announcement, the competition officially began.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" the crowd shouted.

At this moment, a series of cannon salutes rang out, continuing until all 108 cannons had been fired.

The entire Star Luo Plaza was filled with joy.

This breathtaking scene left Huo Yuhao and the others, who were participating in the competition for the first time, speechless with awe.

"According to the rules of this competition, the first round will be an elimination tournament. There are a total of 133 participating colleges, and after a draw, one college will receive a bye."

"According to the tournament's tradition, the first match will be between the Shrek Academy team, the winner of the previous tournament, and the Heavenly Soul Advanced Academy team from the Dou Ling Empire."

The cheers from the audience erupted again, deafening and seemingly piercing the sky.

Judging from the reactions of these viewers, it's clear how much influence and appeal Shrek Academy has on the mainland.

Faced with this situation, apart from Jiang Yi, everyone in the reserve team couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

"Don't panic, just stand behind me." Jiang Yi's calm voice reached the ears of others.

His calm demeanor and formidable strength immediately instilled confidence in everyone.

Following behind Jiang Yi, the reserve team members stepped onto the competition stage, and everyone watched with excitement as the Shrek Academy team took the stage.

This situation put immense pressure on all members of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Academy team.

Jiang Yi, as the team captain, came to the center of the competition stage, as did the captain of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Academy.

The referee said in a deep voice, "The first match is a team battle. Both sides can use Soul Tool. If the other side concedes defeat, they must immediately cease their attack."
