Chapter 347 Sixteen into Eight
There was no rest in the individual finals of the All-Continent Youth High-Level Spirit Master Elite Competition. After the first round, the next day was the 32-to-16 competition. Moreover, it was held in one day.

Relatively speaking, the players who had just competed the day before would be at a slight disadvantage, but this is how the competition is arranged.

There will be 16 matches in total, from 32 to 16. After this round, there will be a day of rest before the 16 to 8 matches.

In this competition, Lufa faced off against an ordinary Soul King, who only had a few battle armor parts on him, so he was quickly defeated by him.

Xue Liushuang, Zui Hongchen and Shenwei also faced off against their respective opponents. Except for Xue Liushuang who was in a tough battle and took more than ten minutes to defeat his opponent, the other two won easily.

Because Zui Hongchen is a poison player, she will only encounter those who have strong poison resistance, such as Lufa and Long Yue. In this competition, almost no one can do anything to her.

Shenwei was simply strong, and unlike Lufa's gathering of heroes, in his group division, except for Long Yue, no one else could attract his attention. So it would be relatively easy for those who advanced.

And what’s interesting is that due to the division of the competition schedule, Shenwei will not face off against Long Yue at least before the semi-finals.

In this competition, four people from their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy advanced to the top sixteen.

On the Shrek Academy side, Tang Wulin, Yuanen Yehui, and Naer also successfully advanced to the top sixteen.

However, from Monster Academy, only Tiger King Dai Yueyan and Long Yue made it into the top 16.

The round of 16 is over.

There is no doubt that in the individual competition of this continental youth advanced soul master elite competition, the real climax is about to come.

At this point in the game, the people of Xingluo are extremely dissatisfied.

Because seven of those people from Douluo Continent made it into the top sixteen, while only two of the students from their Monster Academy made it into the top sixteen.

Is it true that the younger generation of Xingluo Continent is not as good as the people of Douluo Continent? What they need is victory. They hope to see Long Yue fight against the team of Douluo Continent to defend the dignity of Xingluo Continent with absolute strength.

……

"It turns out that Long Yue's Mountain Dragon Martial Spirit was not born with him, but was instead acquired through inheritance or something similar, which then injected into his body and changed his bloodline?"

Nan Fusheng looked at the information on the soul communicator and fell into deep thought. This information was sent to him by Zhang Geyang, the general manager of the Xingluo Continent Spiritual Tower Branch, and it should not be false.

"Did he once accidentally enter the Dragon Valley small world, so he inherited the bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King, or was there some other factor?" Nan Fusheng began to think.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Nan Fusheng used the perception of the Tyrannosaurus Rex soul to sense Tang Wulin's situation. "Has he obtained the qualification to enter the Dragon Valley Small World?"

Nan Fusheng's eyes flickered. He also knew about the activities of the Tang Sect here. Every ten years, they would select thirty outstanding young people to explore the Dragon Valley world.

They will first eliminate those below level 40 and above level 50, and then let the remaining people fight and pick out the best 30 to enter.

Nan Fusheng did not plan to sign up for the event. He just needed to follow the location of the Dragon Valley small world by following the positioning on Tang Wulin.

By then, he will naturally find his own way to get in.

"Ten years? Long Yue seemed to have mutated before he was ten years old. It seems that he must have accidentally entered the Dragon Valley small world, and then luckily obtained the mountain dragon inheritance." Nan Fusheng thought for a while.

“Gu Yue once said that adult mountain dragons seem to transform themselves into mountains and continents for the dragon clan to live in.” Nan Fusheng briefly recalled Gu Yue’s previous Dragon God drama.

She had said this at the time. Although it was not known whether it was true or not, all the natives of Xingluo Continent had a certain amount of dragon blood. This should not be a coincidence.

"Could it be that the Starry Continent under my feet was transformed from a god-level mountain dragon?" Nan Fusheng thought for a while. If this was true, then he would use his fifth soul skill: Inorganic Reincarnation on this land.

I wonder if this land will come alive and turn into a mountain dragon?
"Forget it. I am only a level 60 Soul King right now. I haven't even obtained the sixth soul ring yet. I'd better not think too much about it."

Nan Fusheng shook his head. He did not have that much soul power. If he wanted to revitalize a continent, he would not be able to do it unless his soul power reached the god level.

……

"Welcome everyone to the scene, to witness the sixteen-to-eight individual competition of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition. Today's competition will produce the top eight, and they will be the strongest of the younger generation." Fang'er's voice was already ringing out in the stadium.

When she said this, both she and the audience looked towards the battle zone.

The sixteen contestants have all taken their seats, and what awaits them is a match that will decide their fate.

The top eight in previous competitions not only received generous rewards, but also became a highlight in their growth process. As long as there was such a record in their personal data, they would be given preferential treatment anywhere in the empire.

Choosing to join the army will directly make you a mid-level officer. Choosing to join a family, a clan, or engage in any profession will give you great preferential treatment. At the same time, you will also be granted a title by the empire. Yes, a title!

With the development of the times, the title of nobility not only did not disappear, but became more and more precious.

In today's Xingluo Empire, there are only two ways to obtain a title. One is to gain national recognition through strength, like the competition in front of us, and the other is to make outstanding contributions to the country.

Moreover, no matter what title it is, it cannot be inherited. But the benefits brought by the title are still huge.

In this era, the title of nobility in the Xingluo Empire no longer has the concept of fiefdom as in ancient times, but it can obtain a series of welfare benefits from the state.

It can be said that once you have a title, even the lowest one, you can live a comfortable life without worries of food and clothing. You can also obtain a high social status.

Those who enter the top eight in the individual competition will be awarded the title of Baron, which is the rule of previous competitions. If you can win the championship, you will be directly awarded the title of Viscount.

You have to understand that if you are in the army, you need great merit to have the opportunity to receive such a reward! The status of a viscount in the Xingluo Empire is completely comparable to that of a city lord. This is why all young people are willing to come to participate in the competition. Once you are among the top eight, it can be said that you have ascended to heaven in one step. No matter what your previous identity is, as long as you are not an evil soul master or a terrorist, you can get a title and become a real noble.

Although there is no fief, a property in the imperial capital is indispensable. All expenses are covered by the state.

Therefore, among all the contestants who came to participate today, except for the seven from Douluo Continent, only the two from Monster Academy were relatively calm, and the other seven contestants all looked eager to try. Of course, the premise is that they can really enter the top eight.

"Today's first match will be between Zui Hongchen, a player from the Douluo Continent Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Xue Liushuang, also from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

That's right, this is still an internal fight between them. As the game progresses to this point, even the competing parties cannot avoid a clash between them.

In fact, today, in addition to the pair from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Tang Wulin from Shrek Academy also faced off against Na'er.

As for Lufa, he faced off against Dai Yueyan.

"Hehe, Sister Liushuang, I will not show mercy." Zui Hongchen looked at Xue Liushuang with sharp eyes.

"If you really show mercy, then I will look down on you." Xue Liushuang stared at Zui Hongchen without any less intensity.

There were sparks flying between the two people's eyes when they looked at each other.

“You two should stop fighting!” Lufa looked at the two of them helplessly. He didn’t know if they were real besties or fake sisters. They apparently got along pretty well on weekdays, but now they were so confrontational.

However, in Lufa's heart, Zui Hongchen is more optimistic. Because although Zhu Qing Bingchan's martial soul is of ice attribute, its eyes are of fire attribute, which is very special. Moreover, it can also produce a special cold poison by alternating its own ice and fire abilities.

Even though Xue Liushuang's Spectroscopic Sword has a certain ice attribute, it cannot protect against her poison, because this special toxin can ignore elemental defenses that are not of the ultimate attribute.

The result was not what Lu Fa had expected. After a stalemate, Zui Hongchen still killed Xue Liushuang with the powerful poison of Zhu Qing's Ice Toad Martial Spirit.

The second game was between Tang Wulin and Na'er, but after entering the court, Na'er chose to admit defeat directly, allowing Tang Wulin to better conserve his energy for the next game.

The game continued. At the stage of 16 to 8, every game was particularly exciting, and both sides fought very hard. There were also many soul guides used. In addition to the fixed soul guides that could not be used, even the players could use mechas in the game.

The atmosphere of the game was getting more and more heated, but many spectators kept looking towards the waiting area. Today's match schedule had already been announced.

The match between Lu Fa, captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, and Dai Yueyan, the Tiger King who is ranked second among the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy, is undoubtedly the most watched match today.

Dai Yueyan is the second second king after Dragon King Long Yue, and also the fourth prince of the Xingluo Empire. His dual identities have attracted the attention of the people.

Moreover, some people who are more familiar with the inside information of the royal family know that the fourth prince will soon become the future crown prince.

Undoubtedly, it was very risky for Dai Yueyan to participate in this competition. As the crown prince, if he could not get good results in the competition, it would be a big blow to his reputation.

But as one of the eight kings of Monster Academy, it is his duty to represent the academy in the competition.

Even Fang Er, who was sitting on the rostrum, kept looking over here. If Dai Yueyan could defeat Lu Fa, then everything would be fine, and that would be the best case scenario. But is it really that easy?

This Lu Fa has defeated Hua Landang and Dai Yun'er without even displaying his martial spirit so far. He is also known as the most mysterious player in this competition. Even Long Yue has at least displayed his martial spirit.

And what about him? Apart from showing the terrifying power of Qi and blood, everything else was blank. Even though Fang Er had watched the previous matches of Guo Lu Fa repeatedly, he could not summarize much information.

"The next match is also the highlight of today. It will be between Lufa from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Dai Yueyan from the Monster Academy."

Fang'er's voice was obviously a little high. In her heart, she actually didn't think highly of Dai Yueyan, but she couldn't say it. After all, Dai Yueyan was the prince of the Xingluo Empire and the future heir to the throne.

Then, Fang'er couldn't help but look at Dai Yueyan, and clenched her hands into fists on her knees. She must cheer up and defeat him!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar broke out from the stands.

Dai Yueyan, who had just stood up from the waiting area, suddenly felt his blood boiling.

As the future crown prince, no matter how calm he is, when he hears his people calling out to him with such unity, the feeling is hard to describe in words.

“I will definitely not lose!” Dai Yueyan shouted in his heart with great passion. At the same time, he also looked at Lu Fa, “By the way, let’s get back Yun’er’s share of the debt.”

Lufa's expression remained calm. Facing the overwhelming momentum of the Xingluo people, his gaze did not change at all from beginning to end. He walked towards the competition stage amid the cheers for Dai Yueyan.

Dai Yueyan also calmed his mind and walked out of the waiting area.

On the rostrum, Dai Tianling sat in the main seat, and next to him was Enci, the dean of Monster Academy. Today's game was very important, so these two big guys were also present.

"Teacher, what do you think is the chance of Yue Yan winning the match against Lufa?" Dai Tianling asked Enci in a low voice.

Enci frowned for a rare moment, "Although Yueyan is a talented kid with a calm and wise personality, he has never used his martial spirit from the beginning to the end. According to the news from Douluo Continent, he was already a one-word battle armor master a year ago.

Long Yue had said not long ago that he was almost out of control because of the blood and qi power that erupted from Nalufa. From this, it can be inferred that the blood level of Nalufa is definitely not lower than his. This battle is probably going to be a tough one!"

Hearing this, Dai Tianling frowned slightly. Even though his teacher had been very subtle in his words, how could he not hear that in Enci's heart, he probably didn't think very highly of Dai Yueyan.

　I don’t want to write about the battle anymore, it’s too troublesome, let’s finish it as soon as possible.
