Chapter 148: Soul Master Competition Rewards Announced, Shaking the Continent
Two months later, there were still six months until the start of the competition.
At this time, Qian Xunfeng from the Pope's Hall also took out seven 100,000-year Soul Bones and placed them in front of Qian Xunji.
"Xiao Xunji, help me with the arrangements for the Soul Master Competition. Your elder brother has important matters to attend to. I'll return for the finals."
Qian Xunfeng solemnly patted Qian Xunji's shoulder, speaking with a sense of heavy responsibility.
"Sigh, alright~"
Qian Xunji helplessly accepted the seven 100,000-year Soul Bones. There was no trace of greed in his eyes because, with his elder brother Qian Xunfeng around, he had long since assembled a complete set of soul bones.
A fire-attribute 100,000-year soul bone set, and a 100,000-year fire-attribute Spirit Soul that could resonate with the soul bone set, making his Soul Armor even stronger.
It could be said that the current Qian Xunji's combat power was even stronger than Qian Daoliu's before he became a god.
He spent his days showing affection to Ling Yan. He was originally only at level ninety-third, but when Qian Xunfeng broke through, he broke through the limits of his Angel Martial Soul.
He was directly pushed to the ninety-sixth level, Super Douluo. Finally, with a 130,000-year Fire Ring Crane Spirit Soul, and with seven 100,000-year Soul Bones of the same element and divine power amplification, he was directly pushed to level ninety-ninth Ultimate Douluo.
He truly didn't cultivate at all, relying entirely on 'lying down' to reach level ninety-ninth Ultimate Douluo. He just had to wait for Qian Xunfeng to become a god.
Once his Martial Soul was further enhanced, he would directly ascend on the spot to become a divine priest.
"But is it okay?"
Qian Xunji said with some concern.
"What are you worrying about? Xue'er is already a level ninety-third Title Douluo. Do you think she'll lose?"
Qian Xunfeng rolled his eyes at Qian Xunji. You don't know your own daughter's combat power? And you're Xue'er's biological dad.
"What! Xue'er is already a Title Douluo!"
How old is Xue'er? She seems to be only in her early twenties.
But then he realized that he, as a dad, was indeed not up to par. Still, he scratched his head awkwardly and said resentfully:
"This is all because you, Big Brother, don't do anything. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the Pope and you're just a figurehead."
"Haha, wasn't I always just a figurehead Pope?"
Qian Xunfeng was also hit by this truth, but he was thick-skinned. He chuckled a few times, then disappeared from the spot.
"Oh, right, add seven 100,000-year Soul Rings to the rewards."
...
When the rewards for this Soul Master Competition were announced—seven 100,000-year Soul Bones and seven 100,000-year Soul Rings—the continent immediately exploded.
At first, people didn't believe it, but after some went to Spirit Hall to verify, they truly saw the seven 100,000-year Soul Bones.
They immediately knelt. They had never seen a single 100,000-year soul bone in their lives. As for the remaining seven 100,000-year Soul Rings, they believed that, too.
At this time, Shrek Academy also received the information.
Yu Xiaogang now had to clench his buttocks when he walked, otherwise he would...
Yu Xiaogang still maintained an arrogant posture, regardless of how miserable he had been before. But on the surface, he felt he couldn't lose face.
Clenching his buttocks, he addressed the already gathered Shrek Seven Devils: "You must have heard about the rewards for this Soul Master Competition: a full seven 100,000-year Soul Bones, and even seven 100,000-year Soul Rings."
"Now, our Shrek Academy must win the championship, not just for Shrek's glory, but to secure your future."
"Don't worry, Master Yu, our Shrek is currently the most promising team to win the championship. No matter how talented the people from Spirit Hall are, can they be as powerful as Xiao San and Boss Dai?"
One-Eyed Fire Chicken had rested well these past few days, and with his continuous victories in the Soul Fighting Arena, he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
"Moreover, I think that the 100,000-year Flame Lord left leg bone is just right for my Evil Fire Phoenix."
The fatty said, patting his big belly, his eyes narrowing in a smile, looking even more lewd.
"Don't be careless. Have you forgotten that although the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, Dugu Yan, has no information available, she is very likely a Soul Emperor? We cannot let our guard down."
Yu Xiaogang saw One-Eyed Fire Chicken Ma Hongjun being so arrogant. Just as he was about to retort, he remembered what happened half a year ago and instantly fell silent, only able to say to the Shrek Seven Devils:
"Teacher, there's no need to panic."
At this moment, Tang San stepped forward, his five Soul Rings shining brightly, and he raised his head proudly.
After absorbing "evil" Soul Beasts for half a year, his cultivation had also directly soared. Although his foundation was unstable, it was sufficient.
In the middle, because there weren't enough Soul Beasts, he could only let his dad lure and kill several Soul Emperors for him to devour.
He was currently a fifty-fifth-level Soul King. As long as he absorbed dozens more 10,000-year Soul Beasts or Soul Emperors, he could also become a Soul Emperor. Would he still be afraid of Dugu Yan?
At that time, he would let Dugu Yan know what the path to self-destruction was.
However, the only regrettable thing was that the Soul Power of his other teammates hadn't increased at all in the past six months, which made him a bit anxious.
After all, those were Immortal Herbs. After absorbing them, shouldn't their aptitude improve, and cultivation be as simple as drinking water?
Now, after half a year, there was no progress at all, which was simply an insult to the name of Immortal Herb. But to win the championship, Tang San could only swallow this thought.
"Xiao San, you truly are a good disciple meticulously taught by me, Yu Xiaogang. But Xiao San, do you have the confidence to raise five levels in half a year?"
It wasn't that Yu Xiaogang didn't believe it, but it was too outrageous. Five levels in half a year—that's one level in just over a month. Even with innate full Soul Power, it couldn't be that outrageous, right?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes showed some jealousy. Why didn't he have such a good cultivation aptitude? This made him resentful.
If he also had such talent, how would those clansmen have bullied him back then? How would those old geezers have expelled him from the family?
But to maintain his noble persona, Yu Xiaogang could only subtly hide his jealous expression.
"It might be the effect of the Immortal Herb."
Tang San couldn't reveal the information about him devouring life force; otherwise, he would be labeled an Evil Soul Master.
Moreover, he had already devoured it, and it was more effective than devouring Soul Beasts. Soul Beasts could only convert about one or two tenths, while Soul Emperors could directly convert three tenths of life force.
"Sigh, we all ate Immortal Herbs, but why hasn't our cultivation budged at all? Is the gap between people really that big?"
Ma Hongjun, as the ultimate sycophant, also complimented him, belittling himself to greatly elevate Tang San's prestige.
"Haha, Xiao San's talent was already good. Even if you don't say it, Fatty, we're still ashamed of ourselves."
Seeing that his status as Tang San's sycophant was about to be taken away, Feng Xiaotian immediately became displeased and wanted to compete with Ma Hongjun in the 'Way of Sycophancy.'
"Alright, everyone, let's all cultivate diligently. In half a year, we'll let the people of the continent see what true genius is, and what true monsters are!"
After being praised, Tang San felt quite confident. He waved his hand and said with extreme confidence, as if the championship was within reach.
