187 Thunder Dragon
The next morning, Thunder Canyon was shrouded in thick fog after a night of light rain.
After being caught in the rain all night, if it weren't for the soul power in his body, Qi Tian would probably have a high fever and wouldn't be able to recover.
While marveling at the soul master's strong physical fitness, Qi Tian realized that the time had come to take action!
"Little monster, don't let the Thunder Dragon find you. Remember, it can kill you instantly with one strike. Even if it falls to the ground, don't get close to it before I call you."
Dugu Bo knew clearly that this kind of soul beast was quite cunning, and it was common for it to play dead to make the enemy let down their guard.
Moreover, even an ordinary 25,000-year-old soul beast has the same strength as a human soul saint. Qi Tian is only a quasi-soul king, and if he is hit, he will be crippled if not killed.
"Old monster, this magical herb is called Thunder-Attracting Grass. The power of lightning in the sky is very strong. With it, you can avoid being struck directly by lightning." Qi Tian handed a very ordinary-looking grass with a dark purple color to Dugu Bo.
This magical herb will not wither easily no matter how it is tormented in places with thunder and lightning.
Dugu Bo simply pinned it on his belt. He summoned his martial spirit and leaped up.
In the thick fog, the Green Phosphorus Snake King is no different from a dragon. At least from a distance, it will not be exposed.
The disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are already accustomed to the fighting between soul beasts in the Thunder Canyon, and they do not pay special attention to the movements in the canyon.
Qi Tian continued to hide in the same place. All he could do was wait.
…
With only two days left before the Soul Master Competition begins, Feng Wutan gathered everyone from the Fenghuo Team together and announced the rules of the competition.
For players like them, the rules of the Soul Master Competition are basically well known. However, some rules must be explained in detail to avoid misunderstandings that may affect the team's performance.
"Director Feng, why didn't Qi Tian come?" Ah Fei looked around for a while and couldn't help asking.
Feng Wutian explained, "His soul power broke through level 50 yesterday, and he has gone out to hunt souls with His Majesty Dugu. Ah Fei, Feng Ye, you two should be ready to go at any time. If Qi Tian comes back late, you will have to take his place in the preliminaries."
"Also, when he comes back, I will explain the rules to him alone."
Seeing that everyone was ready to listen, he said:
"Before explaining the rules, His Majesty Dugu brought us an important piece of news."
"Regarding this Soul Master Competition, the champion's prize is three soul bones, all of which are ten thousand year old, and the highest one is even fifty thousand years old."
When they heard about the lifespan of the spirit bones, everyone was quite surprised. "Doesn't this mean that as long as we can win the championship, the spirit bones will belong to us?"
Feng Xiaotian shook his head. "It's not that simple. It is said that the Spirit Hall's participating players this time are their golden generation. To get this title, not only must they break through to the Soul King level before the age of 20, they must also complete many tasks assigned by the Spirit Hall. You can imagine how powerful our opponents are."
Without the blessing of the immortal grass, even Feng Xiaotian couldn't reach this standard. But even with the immortal grass, Huo Wu and others still couldn't reach this standard, only Qi Tian could reach it. If he was in the Spirit Hall, he would probably have a chance to be selected into the golden generation.
Feng Wutian smiled and said, "Xiaotian is right, but we are not weak either. So what if the Golden Generation is Soul King? After Qitian returns, our Fenghuo team will have two Soul Kings. In terms of top combat power, we are not weaker than them."
"Have you forgotten the original intention of the two academies to form the Wind and Fire Team? Tell me loudly, what is your goal!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, the brother and sister, came here just for the championship! The two academies have poured countless resources into them. If they don't even have the courage to compete for the championship, they should just disband as soon as possible!
Feng Wutian saw everyone's performance and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, the most important rule about the Soul Master Competition is that you can't kill people! Once we accidentally kill our opponents, we will be directly expelled from this competition."
He would emphasize this rule in order to prevent someone from secretly making trouble.
Some weak teams, knowing full well that they cannot advance, accepted benefits from other teams and deliberately went to their deaths in the competition, forcing the strong teams out of the competition.
This situation happened to Thunder Academy last time. They argued with the organizer for a long time and finally found evidence of the opponent's secret deal, which saved their seat.
But the players had gone through so much, they had lost confidence in the subsequent games and were defeated directly in the first round of the finals.
"During the preliminaries, before each game, I will analyze your opponent's strength for you. Especially our special moves, which must not be used until we meet the Spirit Hall team."
After all, the power of the martial soul combination skill is too strong, even the soul emperor can hardly resist it. The opponents are all soul masters, and using this move is equivalent to a massacre.
"Dirty guys always do some weird things, so we have to protect ourselves as well."
The events at Thunder Academy were still fresh in people's minds, and no one dared to be careless.
"As for the second thing, it is about recovery items. You can only take food made by food-type soul masters who have already played. Ah Fei, those of you who like to chew things, spit them all out half an hour before the game starts. If you want to chew things, you can do whatever you want after the game is over."
This request is also made to prevent unnecessary trouble.
The news of the joint team formed by the Divine Wind Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy had already spread. Everyone knew that they were the favorites to win the championship this year.
Therefore, countless pairs of eyes were watching them in secret.
What they have to do is to avoid any possibility of being used as evidence. After all, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. If this delays everyone's competitive state, it will be a big problem.
Next, there were some minor changes in the rules, which Feng Wutan informed everyone one by one.
…
With the thick fog covering it, Qi Tian could hardly see the fighting in the air. Even the sounds of the battle became difficult to distinguish under the "cover" of the thunder.
The waiting time was extremely torturous, and Qi Tian didn't know how long he had waited until Dugu Bo appeared beside him again.
"Old monster, what's going on?"
Dugu Bo was not in a very miserable state at this moment, but under the effect of thunder, all his hair had stood up, which looked quite funny.
"That guy is really difficult to deal with, but I am a Titled Douluo. How difficult is it to deal with a soul beast that is only more than 20,000 years old?"
"Come with me."
Dugu Bo's move was very neat, that is, he fought in the air, and the Thunder Dragon had too much space to escape, so he wasted a lot of time in chasing it. As for his hair, it was caused by the static electricity left on his body after being struck by lightning many times.
Soon after, the two came in front of Lei Long.
This guy was originally about to be beaten to death. In order not to waste his soul ring, Dugu Bo stuffed a lot of high-value medicinal herbs into its mouth, thus saving its life.
Qi Tian didn't hesitate and smashed its skull with one punch!
A pitch-black soul ring emerged from the corpse and slowly floated into the air.
