Chapter 429 Sect and Academy
"What if there really is something? Like a dragon-slaying sword or something." Mu Xing originally wanted to watch a few shows and then leave, but now she has a new idea.
What if they really have a dragon-fighting weapon?
After the sects were allowed to participate in this competition, most of the sects looked down on the academy. After all, the academy had a time limit for teaching students. Except for a few special ones, the way the academy trained students was very different from that of the sect.
Joining a sect, in most cases, means putting the interests of the sect first throughout your life. You are a member of the sect while alive and a ghost of the sect after death. Many sects with a long history and heritage have their own unique features.
The Dragon Slaying Sect is a sect with a history of more than a thousand years. It comes from the Douling Empire and is a traditional soul master sect. It has always had a deep-rooted aversion to soul guides. Facing the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy team, they were more disdainful and did not think that this was a game they were bound to lose.
"A sect can be passed down for thousands of years, so there must be some Titled Douluo, right? Although I don't care much about the name of this sect, but look, Long Xiaoyao, it doesn't look like Tianlongmen and Dilongmen don't care!" Mu Xing glanced back at the rest area of Tianlongmen and Dilongmen. Those young people and their leaders all had resentful expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had been holding grudges for a long time.
"What I can be sure of is that this sect did not respond to the call of the dragon-slaying oracle more than four thousand years ago." Long Xiaoyao also turned around and shocked the representatives of the Tianlongmen and Dilongmen with a look.
"They must have something to rely on. Do you think that Tianlongmen and Dilongmen have done nothing for more than a thousand years? But they still survived to this day." Mu Xing retracted his gaze, "Don't think about being lazy, go back and have a friendly exchange with them, maybe they really have what I want? At least some information about the knife would be good."
"I understand." Long Xiaoyao put away his contemptuous thoughts. He knew what Mu Xing was referring to.
"The referee enters. The first contestants of both teams' individual elimination matches will appear." The voice of the old man in charge of presiding over the event came from the rostrum.
The first person to appear on behalf of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was Meng Hongchen. As the vice-captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, she was the first to appear in the first game, which shows that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is determined to win this first game. This is not just a matter of winning or losing, but also related to the face of the Sun Moon Empire.
On the Dragon Slayer side, a short young man appeared. He had a peculiar appearance, with a flat head and a short body, but he looked very heavy. His hands were particularly large, spread out on both sides of his body like a palm leaf fan.
At this time, the people watching the battle from afar continued to remain silent. The tight time meant that they had not yet fully recovered from the pressure that Long Xiaoyao had released earlier.
"The individual elimination match will end when one side loses the ability to fight or admits defeat, and the referee will decide the winner. Try not to hurt the opponent. Do you understand?" The referee said to both parties in a deep voice.
"I understand." The young man who represented the Dragon Slayer Sect looked tough. After he agreed, he turned around and walked towards his own side without even the most basic etiquette of greeting. According to the rules of the competition, before the battle, both sides must stand at one end of the competition stage, a hundred meters apart. This will be more fair to some soul masters and soul instructors who are good at long-range attacks.
Meng Hongchen snorted coldly and turned to the other side of the competition stage. Soon, both sides stood at their respective ends. The referee raised his right hand high, and when his palm fell, the first match of the new All-Continent Youth Soul Master Competition officially began.
At the referee's command, the Dragon Slayer's feet made a dull sound, and a dent was created on the metal floor. He charged at Meng Hongchen like a cannonball, seemingly disdainful but with a clear strategy - five soul rings with the best ratio suddenly appeared, and his sturdy body was possessed by his martial soul during the charge.
"Moo—" A deep roar came from the Dragon Slayer's mouth, and his short and sturdy body suddenly expanded, not all at once, but horizontally. A pair of sharp horns two feet long emerged from his shoulders on both sides of his neck, and his strong and powerful muscles completely burst his shirt, revealing bronze muscles that looked like copper and iron.
"Is this a bronze bull? It doesn't look like something that can slay dragons. It's more like feeding dragons." Mu Xing commented sharply from the sidelines.
“Let’s wait and see. The sect is divided into inner disciples and outer disciples. It’s impossible for everyone to have a Dragon Slaying Sword.” Long Xiaoyao advised.
However, the Dragon Slaying Sect was not well-known, but they were able to send out a five-ringed Soul King right from the start. This showed the strength of the sect, and it made the leaders of many college teams change color. You have to know that in previous competitions, contestants at the five-ring level were already quite powerful, and only a very small number of top students could have the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor.
Meng Hongchen did not rush forward, nor did she release her usual soul guide, but walked forward as if she was strolling in the garden. A circle of ice-blue light slowly spread out from under her feet. Two yellow, two purple, three black, seven soul rings slowly rose.
The last competition did not allow sects to participate, and each competition was five years apart, so there were few people who could participate in two consecutive competitions. Therefore, the Dragon Slayer Sect had no research or understanding of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team. Although they felt very unlucky to draw the previous champion in the first round, they did not think they would definitely lose.
However, when Meng Hongchen released his soul ring, everyone in the Dragon Slayer Sect finally felt an extraordinary pressure. Seven rings, and the best soul ring ratio, is this the strength that a soul master can have? And the competition has an age limit of 20 years old!
The spectators and most of the contestants were equally shocked. A distorted scream suddenly broke out from somewhere in the stands: "Seven-ringed Soul Saint! How old is she?!"
The exclamations instantly tore through the frozen air. The common people and nobles watching the battle were all talking about it, and they could hardly believe their eyes.
This was the first time in the history of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition that a Soul Saint-level powerhouse had appeared. Even in the history of Shrek Academy, there had never been a Soul Saint at the age of twenty, but Meng Hongchen did it.
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran, who had been livid before, finally smiled again. He looked at Jing Hongchen beside him and said, "Master Hongchen, you are really good at hiding things! When did Miss Meng break through to become a Soul Saint? To become a Soul Saint before the age of 20, what an honor! I think Young Master Xiao..."
