Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 96 The Influence of Artificial Spirit Rings
Hearing this, the audience and representatives of each team showed expressions of surprise and expectation. Artificial soul rings and soul guides are a brand new concept. If they can be displayed in this competition, it will definitely cause a sensation across the continent.

Xu Tianran looked at the reactions from the audience with satisfaction and continued, "The champion team of this competition will receive the most precious prize of our Sun Moon Empire - a ninth-level soul guide. The runner-up and third-place winners will also receive eighth-level and seventh-level soul guides respectively. These prizes not only symbolize honor, but also represent the sincerity and strength of our Sun Moon Empire."

His words were full of confidence and strength, and the atmosphere in the square reached a climax. Representatives from all teams were eager to show their skills in the competition.

"Finally, I wish all participating teams to perform at their best and show their style. I hope this competition will become an unforgettable event and a new starting point for promoting the development of the soul master world."

As soon as Xu Tianran finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the square. Everyone was excited about the opening of this grand event.

Just as everyone was eagerly looking forward to the start of the competition, the emcee in the center of the stage raised the microphone again and announced: "Now let's read out the rules of the competition."

A loud voice rang out, echoing throughout the square: "Dear guests, dear contestants, next, I will read out the rules of this competition to you."

The host's voice was loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears: "This competition will adopt a double-elimination system. The participating teams will compete in the loser group and the winner group until the champion is finally decided. The competition adopts a team competition system. Each team will send seven players to participate. The victory or defeat will be decided by a best-of-three system."

He continued, "During the competition, players are not allowed to use any external auxiliary tools and are only allowed to use their own soul power and soul skills. Before each game, there will be one hour of preparation time for the team to formulate tactics. After the game starts, the referee will strictly supervise to ensure fairness."

In the audience, everyone listened carefully to the rules and understood the specific details of the competition. The emcee continued, "During the competition, if any violation is found, the team will be disqualified immediately and severely punished. I hope that all teams will abide by the rules and show the highest level of competitive spirit."

After the announcement, the MC smiled and said, "Thank you for your patience. Next, all teams, please get ready. The first game will officially begin in ten minutes!"

The audience burst into warm applause again, waiting for the game to begin with great anticipation. Representatives from each team also left the field and returned to their respective rest areas to begin final tactical preparations.

The enthusiastic applause at the opening ceremony gradually subsided, and the atmosphere of tension and expectation filled the square. The first game was about to begin, with an ordinary college team from the Sun-Moon Empire playing against a strong team from the Star Luo Empire. This game was not only the beginning of the competition, but also an important opportunity to show the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Li Tianyuan, the leader of the Sun Moon Empire, stood in front of the team members with a firm look in his eyes: "Everyone, this competition is not only about our honor, but also a great opportunity to show the power of our artificial spirit rings. Remember, don't underestimate your opponents, but don't be afraid either. Go all out and show your true strength!"

The team members nodded one after another, their eyes full of fighting spirit. They had been preparing for a long time, with only one goal in mind - victory.

With the referee's order, the game officially began. The two teams entered the field one after another and stood at both ends of the field. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The audience in the audience held their breath, looking forward to this exciting match.

The Xingluo Empire team showed a strong momentum as soon as they entered the field. Their captain, Mu Lin, was a powerful Soul King, leading a team composed of Soul Lords and Soul Sects. Mu Lin glanced coldly at the Sun and Moon Empire team opposite, his eyes full of contempt: "An ordinary college team dares to challenge the elite of our Xingluo Empire?"

Li Tianyuan smiled slightly and signaled the team members to calm down. They did not carry soul guides, but only relied on the power of artificial soul rings to fight against the powerful team of Xingluo Empire. The members of Sun and Moon Empire were full of confidence. They knew that they had a power that others could hardly imagine.

As soon as the match started, the Xingluo Empire team launched a fierce offensive. At Mu Lin's command, four Soul Lords and two Soul Sects quickly surrounded them, attempting to defeat the Sun and Moon Empire team at lightning speed. In an instant, soul skills shone brightly, and the battlefield was filled with powerful soul power fluctuations.

However, the Sun and Moon Empire members did not panic. They quickly deployed their formations, cooperated with each other tacitly, and used the soul skills brought by the artificial soul rings to fight back. Captain Li Zixuan waved the spear in his hand and released the first soul skill - Thunderbolt Stab. The swift power of lightning directly hit the vanguard members of the Xingluo Empire, knocking them back several steps.

The audience in the audience seats were amazed: "Is this the artificial spirit ring of the Sun-Moon Empire? It is so powerful!"

Another team member, Zhao Mengyao, activated her second soul skill, Frost Barrier, and an ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the opponent's attack. She calmly observed the battle and commanded her teammates to counterattack.

Upon seeing this, a trace of anger flashed in Mu Lin's eyes. He was unwilling to be suppressed by an ordinary college team, so he suddenly activated his fourth soul skill - Fiery Frenzy. The blazing flames swept over, attempting to devour the members of the Sun Moon Empire.

However, the members of the Sun Moon Empire were well prepared. At Li Zixuan's command, the members released their artificial soul ring soul skills - body protection aura. The dazzling light instantly blocked the flames outside, leaving no one injured.

In the audience, Jing Hongchen whispered to Xu Tianran: "Your Highness, this team is indeed very strong. Even without the use of soul guides, they can rely on the power of artificial soul rings to deal with strong enemies."

Xu Tianran smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, this is the pride of our Sun Moon Empire. Artificial spirit ring technology will completely change the landscape of the spirit master world."

The battle became more intense, and the Xingluo Empire team obviously felt tremendous pressure. Although they had a slight advantage in soul power, the Sun and Moon Empire team members always took the initiative with the powerful soul skills brought by the artificial soul ring. Li Zixuan swung his spear again and released the third soul skill - Thunderstorm. Thunder and lightning intertwined into a storm, forcing the Xingluo Empire team members to retreat step by step.

The players of Xing Luo Empire gradually showed signs of fatigue. Mu Lin gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "We must not lose to them. Attack with all our strength!"

His team members tried their best to release their strongest soul skills in an attempt to reverse the situation. However, the Sun Moon Empire's team members cooperated well and had sophisticated tactics, and they easily resolved every attack. Zhao Mengyao used her frost barrier and body protection aura alternately to resolve the attacks of the Star Luo Empire one by one.

Seeing this, Mu Lin couldn't help but wonder: "Why are their spirit skills so powerful? Is it really the power of artificial spirit rings?"

The audience in the audience seats were also discussing: "This team is too strong! Did they really not use soul guides?"

Jing Hongchen smiled and said to the assistant beside him: "This is the true power of our artificial spirit rings. Without the need for spirit guides, they can fight against powerful enemies with the power of spirit rings alone."

Xu Tianran nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, we will definitely win this game." As the battle came to an end, the Sun Moon Empire's players gradually gained an absolute advantage. Li Zixuan swung his spear and launched the final attack - the fifth soul skill, Thunderbolt. Thunder and lightning surged towards the Xing Luo Empire's players like a tide, completely defeating them.

Mu Lin fell to the ground unwillingly, looking at the members of the Sun Moon Empire, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness: "Why... why did we lose?"

Li Zixuan walked up to him and said calmly: "This is the strength of our Sun Moon Empire. The power of artificial spirit rings is beyond your imagination."

With the referee's order, the game ended. The Sun Moon Empire's players won with an absolute advantage, and the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. Everyone was shocked and proud of the team's outstanding performance.

Jing Hongchen said to Xu Tianran with satisfaction: "Your Highness, we not only won this game, but also demonstrated to the entire continent the power of our artificial spirit rings."

Xu Tianran smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is just the beginning. Next, we will face more challenges, but I believe that we will win the final victory."

After the game, the audience was filled with discussions. Many people were shocked by the performance of the Sun Moon Empire team.

An audience member said excitedly: "Too amazing! They can actually defeat the powerful team of Xingluo Empire without using soul guides. This artificial soul ring is really too powerful!"

Another audience member nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have never seen such a powerful spirit skill. It seems that the technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is really amazing."

The representative of the Xing Luo Empire, Mu Lin's teacher, calmly observed the results of the competition, his heart full of doubts: "Artificial spirit rings... is this technology really that powerful? If they can popularize this technology, I'm afraid the pattern of the entire continent will change."

In the audience area of ​​the Sun-Moon Empire, an old man stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "In this competition, our Sun-Moon Empire will definitely shine. The emergence of artificial spirit rings is destined to change the future of the entire spirit master world."

The young man at the side asked excitedly: "Teacher, do we have a chance to use artificial spirit rings?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the technology is mature, each of us will have the opportunity to use it. This will be the pride of our Sun Moon Empire."

In the audience, representatives from Shrek Academy were also paying close attention to the game. Shrek Academy's captain, Wang Qiuer, looked at the Sun Moon Empire team with sharp eyes, her heart full of fighting spirit: "It seems that this competition will be very intense. We must go all out to win against such a strong enemy."

A member of the Shrek Academy team said: "Captain, is this artificial spirit ring really that strong? Do we have a chance to defeat them?"

Wang Qiuer answered firmly: "No matter how strong the opponent is, we will not give up easily. The spirit of our Shrek Academy is to constantly surpass ourselves in adversity. Artificial spirit rings are indeed powerful, but our training and cooperation are also unmatched. Everyone must believe in their own strength!"

The Shrek Academy players nodded one after another, their eyes lit with fighting spirit. They knew that this competition would be a severe test of their strength, but it was precisely such a challenge that would make them even better.

After the game, the Sun Moon Empire players, led by Li Tianyuan, walked to the rest area. Li Tianyuan patted Li Zixuan on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Well done, Zixuan. Your performance today perfectly demonstrated the power of our artificial spirit rings. Next, there are more difficult challenges waiting for us. I hope you can continue to maintain this state."

Li Zixuan smiled slightly: "Teacher, we will definitely not let you down. This time, we must not only win, but also win beautifully!"

Zhao Mengyao also nodded and said, "Yes, today is just the beginning. Next, we will work harder to prove our strength to everyone."

Li Tianyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone go take a rest, adjust your state, and prepare for the next game."

After the game, the players of Xingluo Empire walked off the field in frustration. A trace of regret flashed in Mu Lin's eyes. He was unwilling to lose the game like this. A soul master in the team whispered: "Captain, I'm sorry, we didn't play at our best."

Mu Lin sighed: "This is not your fault. Their artificial spirit rings are indeed powerful. We must admit that the Sun-Moon Empire is indeed ahead in this regard. But we can't be discouraged. In the next game, we must go all out and strive to get back to the winner's group."

Another team member encouraged: "Yes, Captain, we still have a chance. This failure will only make us more determined. We must win the next game!"

Mu Lin nodded and rekindled his fighting spirit: "That's right, our Star Luo Empire's spirit masters will never give up easily. Next, we must work harder and strive to fight our way out of the loser group and finally win the championship!"

There were all kinds of reactions in the audience, and representatives from various countries were discussing the result of this game. Representatives from other countries in Douluo Continent expressed their opinions:

Locke, the representative of the Heaven Dou Empire and the elder of the Soul Master Association, pondered: "The artificial soul ring technology is indeed shocking, but it also means that the soul master world will face new challenges. We must master this technology as soon as possible, otherwise we will be left far behind by the Sun Moon Empire."

The young soul master student beside him showed a worried look: "Elder, is this artificial soul ring really that powerful? If the Sun Moon Empire popularizes this technology, what will happen to our Tiandou Empire?"

Locke answered firmly: "Don't be discouraged. Although technology is important, the strength of a soul master lies more in his own practice and hard work. Our Tiandou Empire has a long tradition of soul masters. As long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely catch up."
