Douluo: The True Eye

The perspective returns to Star Luo City.

Today marks the semi-finals, which could also be called the penultimate round, because after this competition, the highly anticipated final will begin.

Now, the teams that have survived the trials of this past month, emerging from the initial pool of over a hundred participating teams, are all the pride of their respective nations.

Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Heavenly Soul Empire Dio Academy, Star Luo Empire National Academy.

The entrance of each team caused a surge of cheers, and now the pre-match draw is about to begin.

To ensure the fairness of the semi-finals and finals, the draw for this semi-final round was directly placed on the day of the match.

However, the so-called fairness is only relative.

As the sun shone on Star Luo Square, a luxurious red carpet stretched directly from the imperial city gate to the front of the competition stage.

Ten minutes before the start of the draw, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, surrounded by palace guards, walked towards the competition stage.

The soldiers maintaining order and the common people of the Star Luo Empire were all chanting "Long live the Emperor."

The members of the other four teams also stood up and paid attention to the Emperor, showing respect for the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

In addition to the guards used as honor guards, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was surrounded by four old men.

Each of these four old men possessed the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, and they were the powerhouses in the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship.

This was the Star Luo Empire demonstrating its authority and strength to all the forces participating in the competition, especially to the Sun Moon Empire, which had always been restless.

Then, after the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire stepped onto the competition stage and gave a brief pre-match speech.

An old Titled Douluo spoke towards the rest area of the four teams: "Please, the captains of the four teams, come to the stage to draw lots."

Along with the old man's words, an astonishing pressure mixed with a hint of strangeness instantly permeated the air, causing the common people who were still cheering to quiet down involuntarily.

Huo Yuhao looked at the old man on the stage through his Eye of Truth and thought: 'This is the Heavenly Fiend Douluo. His spirit is strange, but it seems that the composition of his spirit is indeed a bit peculiar.'

Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu, his spirit is the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, known for being destined to be alone for life, specifically bringing misfortune to relatives and friends. At the same time, to ensure the safety of the members of the participating forces, he is also the chief referee of this semi-final and final.

Rumor has it that on the day his spirit awakened, his mother died directly from postpartum hemorrhage, and when he was eight years old, his father also died tragically. Countless other misfortunes followed, eventually causing him to lose all his relatives and friends.

His spirit should be a mutation of some kind of star-type spirit. It cannot be said to be a benign mutation, because the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu affects the people around him due to his spirit, and he usually lives in seclusion, so the price he pays is not small.

And if it is a malignant mutation, it is even more out of the question. After all, in this world, strength is king. With the cultivation of a level ninety-one Titled Douluo, he can use the power of the stars to withstand a level ninety-five Super Douluo. The strength of the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star spirit is also evident.

From Huo Yuhao's analysis and observation with the Eye of Truth, it seems that due to the influence of his spirit, the human magnetic field on this Heavenly Fiend Douluo's body seems to be completely different from that of normal people, and it is also more aggressive.

Moreover, because of the characteristics of his spirit, he is even vaguely connected to the stars in the sky, which makes the human magnetic field on this Heavenly Fiend Douluo even more strange. Huo Yuhao, who has not studied this much, can only see these things.

It's just that in this world, the existence of the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star spirit seems so unique.

It even seems to have touched a higher level, but because of the lack of exploration by predecessors, this Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu probably has no chance to reach the level of Super Douluo in his lifetime.

It's just that the other party now seems to be able to consciously suppress the mutation brought about by his spirit, and this may be the reason why he, who killed all his relatives and friends in his early years, could join the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship.

That is, the captain of the Star Luo National Academy team, Xu Jiujiu.

Her spirit is the Star Crown, which is the same as the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu, and also borrows the power of starlight, but it is more stable. Huo Yuhao can also get a lot of new inspiration and enlightenment from Xu Jiujiu through the Eye of Truth.

However, at this time, the team captains representing the four teams have already stood on the stage.

They are Gongyang Mo from Shrek Academy, Ma Rulong from Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Jiang Peng from Dio Academy, and Xu Jiujiu from Star Luo National Academy.

Under the gaze of the four Titled Douluo, the four walked to the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Emperor smiled slightly: "I am very happy to see you young talents. I hope you can uphold the principle of friendship first, competition second, and complete this competition."

"Later, I will throw out four balls with the lottery numbers written on them, and you will grab them at the same time."

The four of them said that they were ready. Then, almost no one noticed how the Star Luo Emperor made his move. They only saw four golden lights rising into the air at the same time.

Unlike the other three who showed their abilities to compete, Xu Jiujiu just waited for the last ball to fall before reaching out to take it leisurely.

"I am number one." Xu Jiujiu glanced at the ball in her hand and then said.

"Number one." Jiang Peng from Dio Academy also spoke up.

The draw rule for this semi-final is that teams with the same number will compete in the same division.

And the remaining Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are naturally number two.

It may be because it is different from the original book, that the weaker auxiliary-type soul master Gongyang Mo came to the stage to compete, or it may be for some other reason.

In short, this time, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, who should have faced each other in the final, met in the semi-final.

And the Shrek people under the stage all had solemn expressions, after all, the strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is probably the strongest among the other three teams.

The rules of the semi-final still follow the previous elimination round rules, and it will still be held over two days, but this time the competition is somewhat different from before.

You must win both games to qualify. If both sides win one game each, then a two-two-three tiebreaker will be held, with a best-of-three format.

Moreover, in order to increase the difficulty of the final, unlike the semi-final which is held over two days, the final only has one day, which greatly tests the team's continuous combat ability and endurance.

"It can't be said that meeting the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy this time is a bad thing." Wang Yan comforted everyone: "If we meet in the final, the Sun Moon Empire will definitely equip all the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy with milk bottles."

“We definitely don't have an advantage over them in a prolonged battle. If we can eliminate them here, then our biggest opponent will disappear, and the subsequent finals will be much easier.”

“Moreover, we drew the number two spot this time, which means we have two more days of rest. Everyone should seize this opportunity to maintain their strength and strive to defeat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the best possible condition!”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with what Wang Yan said.

However, Wang Yan was secretly having a headache because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had a Soul Emperor, while the only Soul Emperor in their team, Ma Xiaotao, was in a very unstable state.

Whether to send her into battle, and what impact it would have after sending her into battle.

Wang Yan sighed. He was quite conflicted at this moment, but the team battle between the Star Luo National Academy team and the Dio Academy team on the stage had already begun.

This competition was different from before, and Wang Yan had some guesses about Xu Jiujiu's appearance.

After all, the change of power in the Star Luo Empire's royal family has had a significant impact on the history of the continent.

As a scholar, he naturally knew the inheritance spirit of the Xu family, the current royal family of the Star Luo Empire.

If it was really that spirit, even if they could defeat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy next, the Star Luo National Academy team in the finals would still be a big trouble for the Shrek Academy team.

The two-day battle between the Star Luo Empire and Dio Academy passed quickly.

Although Dio Academy's captain, Jiang Peng, was outstanding in strength, they were directly crushed by Xu Jiujiu, who possessed the Star Crown spirit, in the team battle arrangement.

The Star Crown spirit was famous, but the Xu family of the Star Luo Empire had always been low-key. However, today's display has made everyone recall the Star Crown Sect, which once dominated the Douluo Continent.

Powerful and comprehensive auxiliary combat ability, and also able to use star power to bless the spirit, so that they can exert the power of soul skills beyond the current realm. In this team battle, it can only be said that Dio Academy lost unjustly.

The subsequent individual competition was even simpler. Although the Star Luo National Academy team did not have Soul Emperor-level powerhouses, they relied on the national power of a country, plus Xu Jiujiu's identity.

Dio Academy, from the Heaven Dou Empire, which was most hostile to soul masters and unwilling to use soul tools, was directly beaten into a daze by the Star Luo National Academy team.

It is true that Soul Emperors are very good at fighting, but this is not a one-person battle, and Jiang Peng's strength could not defeat the other seven people by himself when being targeted by soul tools.

In the end, Jiang Peng solved the first three people sent by the Star Luo National Academy team alone, but eventually he was defeated.

The team members after him were even more unable to contend against the Star Luo National Academy team. In the end, the Star Luo National Academy team successfully advanced to the finals.

Star Emperor Hotel, conference room.

Wang Yan was making the final tactical arrangements. Tomorrow was the match between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, unlike before, Ma Xiaotao, who had always acted willfully and independently since participating in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, also came to the conference room.

Beside her was her good friend, Gongyang Mo. It was obvious that Ma Xiaotao did not do anything out of the ordinary this time under Gongyang Mo's persuasion.

This was also what Wang Yan had entrusted Gongyang Mo with. In the end, he decided to send Ma Xiaotao into battle.

After all, Ma Xiaotao's combat power was too strong, and the pressure from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was very serious. He had to be cautious.

“The first match tomorrow is a team battle, which is very beneficial for soul masters.” Wang Yan's expression was calm.

“So my plan is that in this competition, everyone should reserve their strength as much as possible, and then leave their combat power for the individual elimination round the day after tomorrow.”

“Soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire are accustomed to using various drugs to increase their strength, but because of this, their soul power is mostly weak, and their strength is weaker than soul masters of the same level.”

“Their spirit quality is also relatively low, and their soul skill choices are mostly focused on increasing soul power. Only by relying on soul tools can they compete with the powerhouses of various countries.”

“Soul tools do have an advantage among low-level soul masters, but we are different from ordinary soul masters.”

“We are Shrek Academy, and every one of our students is the elite of the elite.”

“Their combat power is tyrannical among their peers. In a fair battle, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can never be a match for any of you.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Huo Yuhao also understood where Wang Yan's confidence came from. It was just that Wang Yan didn't know that while the three countries of the original Douluo Continent were progressing, how could the Sun Moon Empire not have made progress?

The gap in the quality of the soul masters themselves has long been narrowed by the Sun Moon Empire's continuous catching up over thousands of years.

The old-fashioned soul masters' insistence that soul masters have weak combat power is no longer realistic. It is just that the Sun Moon Empire has always been hiding its strength.

“I won’t make too many arrangements for the tactics of the individual elimination round.”

“Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Xixi, you will lead the first three matches.” Wang Yan frowned slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, “Be sure to eliminate as much of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's combat power as possible in the individual elimination round.”

“Only in this way can we gain more advantages in the subsequent two-two-three system.”

“For the subsequent two-two-three system teams, Ma Xiaotao, Gongyang Mo, you two will be in a group. You two are the strongest, so I won’t say much.”

“Xixi, Beibei, your spirits are both of the lightning attribute, and one is a strong attack and the other is an agile attack. You two form a team, pay attention to the cooperation between the attributes.”

“For the final three-person team, Xu Sanshi, Ling Luochen, Jiang Nannan, you three form a team, be sure to buy time for Ling Luochen, and drag down the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for me!”

“Okay, Teacher Wang.” Gongyang Mo nodded, understanding Wang Yan's meaning.

Beibei also nodded and said yes.

“The lineup for the team battle will still be arranged according to the previous top sixteen and eight.” Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Ma Xiaotao replied indifferently: “Yes, I will pay attention.”

In this way, after the meeting, everyone went back to adjust their state, and soon ushered in the next day's team battle.

The sun was shining brightly, and the weather was clear.

Both sides were very popular in this competition, but Shrek Academy's was a good name, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's was a bad name.

After all, thousands of years of education have deeply rooted the idea of ​​hostility towards the Sun Moon Empire in the hearts of every citizen of the three countries of the original Douluo Continent.
