Chapter 276 I Heard You Say It, The Steel Bucks
In previous years, Shrek Academy was always the first team to take the stage in the first elimination round of the tournament, but this year, the Sun and Moon team was the first to take the stage.
Hearing the host's loud announcement of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the thunderous cheers from the audience, Bei Bei and the others, though not exactly unpleasant, all wore gloomy expressions.
This is tantamount to shouting in their ears through a megaphone: "The last tournament's champion wasn't Shrek, and you lost it right under their noses!"
Public execution is a valid criterion.
However, this was just wishful thinking on their part. In reality, very few people paid attention to them. Almost everyone's attention was focused on the seven members of the Sun and Moon team who were slowly walking out of the player tunnel.
The first elimination match of each tournament is, to some extent, an exhibition match, used to showcase the prowess of the previous tournament's champion team and to set a good precedent for the current tournament.
Otherwise, why would Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen need to play together in a mere elimination match?
The Sun and Moon Team's opponent was an obscure little sect in the Star Luo Empire, barely meeting the registration requirements. Their team composition was only a combination of four Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables, so weak it was embarrassing to watch.
This configuration might have been somewhat competitive ten thousand years ago, but in this era where the numerical values have begun to collapse, this configuration is completely inadequate.
The members of this academy team never expected to be used as a scapegoat. They trembled and crawled slowly onto the stage.
I heard you say that~
"What are you saying?"
Foreign wars are in the Stars!
"Huh? It's Star Luo again?" Xiao Hongchen rubbed his temples, somewhat numb. "What a small world. The Star Luo Empire is the one with the most conflicts with our Sun Moon Empire among the Douluo Three Kingdoms."
How do you think Dai Hao managed to rise from a lowly soldier to the position of Grand Marshal of the Northwest Army Group in just a few decades while concealing his identity?
Aside from his masterful manipulation of the Star Luo Empire's internal bureaucracy, Dai Hao, that scoundrel, caused their Sun Moon Empire no shortage of trouble over those decades, and it was Dai Hao who actively instigated these conflicts.
During that period, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire was going through a palace coup, which was like Xu Tianran's father playing a match-3 game with the heads of He Caitou's family. The Sun Moon Empire definitely didn't have time to play house with the Star Luo Empire during that time.
Moreover, the lineage of Cai Tou's father is close to the Douluo Continent and is not as ambitious and hostile as Xu Tianran.
Therefore, from all perspectives, Dai Hao's military achievements were all earned by his proactive invasion of the Sun Moon Empire's borders. Without earning military achievements, how could we, the White Tiger Grand Marshal, have such a high military standing?
For the vast majority of people in the Sun Moon Empire, the most hostile empire is the Star Luo Empire, and Orange is the best example of this.
Xiao Hongchen and the others were no exception.
They initially thought Lin Nuo's battle plan was a bit insulting, but now they just want to give it their all.
"The first match of the elimination rounds, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy versus Star Luo Cloud Sea Advanced Soul Master Academy, begins!"
As soon as the referee gave the order, the members of the Cloud Sea team, who were already on edge, immediately released their martial spirits, and yellow and purple spirit rings instantly lit up a corner of the arena.
The people of the Sun Moon Empire are hostile to the people of the Star Luo Empire, but aren't the people of the Star Luo Empire the same? Under the Star Luo Empire's propaganda, they have never been the ones to initiate attacks; in their eyes, the Sun Moon Empire is the evil invader.
Even though they knew they had no hope of winning against the powerful Sun and Moon team, they were still unwilling to admit defeat.
However, the outcome of a competition cannot be changed by human will.
"Heh heh, instead of admitting defeat, they're charging at us?"
Looking at the seven members of the Cloud Sea team who even launched an attack on them, Xiao Hongchen, who was standing in the middle with his arms crossed, slightly tilted his head, glanced at the handsome guy at the very end of his team, and raised his chin slightly.
"Ma Lu, you go!"
Ma Lu immediately nodded, stepped out from the line, and took out components from his storage soul tool as he walked, putting them on himself.
His actions attracted the attention of many people, but the vast majority of them were Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire. Unlike the narrow-minded country bumpkins of Douluo Continent, these Soul Masters, who were at the forefront of the times, had never seen the Soul Guidance Device that Ma Lu wore on himself.
"Is this some kind of new type of soul-guided armor? Why have I never seen it before?"
"I have no idea! I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it!"
"I've heard that Mingde Hall once had a plan for a humanoid soul tool, a plan that even caused quite a stir back then." A white-bearded, venerable old soul tool expert stroked his beard thoughtfully. "I just don't know why, there hasn't been any related news in recent years."
"Your insight is truly remarkable!" The surrounding audience exclaimed in awe.
Although I couldn't understand it, it sounded really impressive.
Lin Nuo, who was enjoying the service of Ye Gu's clothes in the rest area, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the old man, his heart skipping a beat.
It's one thing for Shrouding the Heavens to have a passerby emperor, but why does Douluo Continent have a passerby god king?
However he looked at it, that old man was just an ordinary Soul Emperor, so he didn't pay much attention to him and turned his gaze back to the arena.
At this moment, Ma Lu had completely put on the One-Word Battle Armor, and five perfectly matched Soul Rings appeared on his body. However, what shocked countless people on the scene was that, despite having only five Soul Rings, he unleashed the powerful aura of a peak Soul Emperor.
The seven members of the Cloud Sea team, who were at the forefront of the attack, were forced to halt their forward momentum by the powerful aura.
The third version of Battle Armor, which was supposed to make a dazzling debut in the previous tournament, finally unveiled its mysterious veil in this tournament and showcased the charm of its numerical values to the fullest in its first appearance.
After all, it has only one function: to amplify soul power in the purest way!
Brutally boosting a Soul King to the peak of Soul Emperor, with all-around attribute enhancement, is far more effective than any Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
"I'll use you as sacrifices for the emergence of the battle armor!" A cold glint flashed in Ma Lu's eyes as he slowly pulled out a hollow steel pipe as thick as an adult's arm. At the same time, a pair of huge antlers grew on his forehead, and his skin turned into an iron-gray color with a metallic sheen.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Berserk!"
The next moment, the Steel Deer, wielding a steel pipe, transformed into a hundred-ton king and charged towards the trembling seven members of the Cloud Sea team.
"Please stop me!"
