Chapter 168 The promotion competition begins

After absorbing two super-age spirit rings, Luo Ling's spirit power level reached level 62, which was not a big improvement.

This is the limitation of the ultimate attribute, as well as the limitation of Luo Ling’s martial soul itself.

Luo Ling could feel it clearly.

Now, the soul power he has obtained, whether it is obtained through self-cultivation, absorption of soul rings or even Yu Xiaogang's sacrifice, a large part of this soul power has been absorbed by his martial soul.

In the more than half a month before the promotion match, prison breaks occurred in several cities surrounding Tiandou City.

Both the city prison and the Spirit Hall prison were looted.

It was exactly the same as the prison break that happened in Tiandou Imperial City.

Later, under the vigorous pursuit of the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Royal Family, a force called the Original God Cult gradually surfaced.

Using flesh and blood as sacrifices to increase the strength of gods is much worse than evil soul masters simply devouring flesh and blood to practice.

Because the power obtained through sacrifice is pure and has no side effects, the only requirement is to believe in the original god.

When Emperor Xue Ye learned of the news, he immediately ordered the news to be blocked. Platinum Bishop Salas also wrote a letter back to Wuhun City overnight.

This is a god, a god who can accept sacrifices and bestow blessings.

It's just that the way of sacrifice is a little evil.

If the news of such a deity spread, one can imagine the uproar it would cause.

All you need to do is offer your faith and sacrifice your flesh and blood to increase your strength without any side effects.

Through interrogation, the Tiandou royal family learned about the three important figures behind the Original Divine Religion.

The messenger of God, and the two saints, the Demon Eagle and the Giant Bear.

Emperor Xue Ye immediately dispatched personnel to investigate the city where the Primordial Cult appeared, and Sarath also dispatched personnel to assist.

Just as the Tiandou Royal Family and the Spirit Hall were deploying personnel in a big way, Flanders and Zhao Wuji returned to Tiandou City.

The prison break that took place over half a month ago was their work.

They didn't even notify Yu Xiaogang.

Through the sacrifice, the soul power levels of both of them were raised by one level.

This is the first level of soul power of a soul saint. It is impossible to upgrade to the next level without several years of normal practice.

At Lanba Academy, when Yu Xiaogang saw Flanders and Zhao Wuji, he angrily asked, "Why did you go to another city to rob a prison without permission? What if you get caught?"

At the side, Tang San's expression was also a little ugly. It was not because Flanders and Zhao Wuji acted on their own, but because so many prison corpses were sacrificed without his participation.

Looking at Flanders and Zhao Wuji who didn't take it seriously, Tang San felt extremely heartbroken.

If he had so many corpses, he would definitely be able to break through to the Soul King level! By then, after obtaining the soul rings, he would have a chance of winning against Luo Ling!
"Don't be angry, Xiaogang." Flanders waved his hand casually, "We went to other cities to break out of prisons for Xiao San."

"Are you going to jailbreak for the mistress? Then why don't you take the mistress with you?" Yu Xiaogang had a questioning look on his face.

Flanders adjusted his glasses awkwardly and explained, "Doesn't Xiao San have to prepare for the promotion match? We went to other cities to break out of prisons. The Tiandou Royal Family and the Spirit Hall have sent a large number of forces to investigate, so the guard force of Tiandou City is empty!"

"They certainly didn't expect that we would also attack the Wuhun Hall prison in Tiandou City. Then our actions will be very convenient!"

Flanders said seriously. Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react.

Of course, he knew that what Flanders said were all excuses, but they were not without reason. Now that things had come to this, he could not blame him anymore, but asked with some concern: "I heard that the Tiandou Royal Family captured our believers. Your identities have not been exposed, right?"

"Of course not. Those useless believers only know that we have two saints and one messenger in the Original God Church. They know nothing else."

"And we haven't taught them the sacrificial ritual, so there won't be any problem." Flanders patted his chest and assured.

Yu Xiaogang finally felt relieved and sighed helplessly.

……

The investigation into the Original Divine Religion was being conducted in secret, and the qualifying round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was also scheduled.

The venue for the promotion match is no longer the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, but the Grand Parade Ground of the Royal Knights.

The large parade ground has been renovated to create a competition area with a diameter of 100 meters in the center. This is much wider than the arena for the budget competition and can better showcase the strength of the soul masters.

The north side is the VIP seats, which have fewer people than during the preliminaries. The first row still has Emperor Xue Ye, Sarath, and Ning Fengzhi.

There were no civilian audiences except the VIPs.

Instead, there were ten thousand royal knights surrounding the periphery.

There are a total of sixteen teams participating in the promotion competition this time, and they will play sixteen rounds of round-robin matches, one round per day, with eight games in total.

Amid the sound of cannon salutes, the qualifying round officially began.

Luo Ling stayed in the Tiandou Royal Academy's team and came to the competition site under the escort of the Royal Knights.

When Luo Ling appeared at the scene, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In the last round of the preliminaries, Luo Ling fought one against seven, and his strength was breathtaking. Even those teams that were not in the Tiandou Imperial City competition area knew about Luo Ling.

It is somewhat hard to imagine fighting one against seven, but one Soul King is enough for them to take him seriously.

After Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi gave a speech, Platinum Bishop Salas began to draw lots. The first qualifying match was different from the original novel. Since the number of teams increased from fifteen to sixteen, there would no longer be any byes.

In the first round, Shrek was no longer facing the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Barak Kingdom, but the Tiandou Royal Academy where Luo Ling was.

Even Luo Ling was a little surprised, but when he saw the flattering look of Platinum Bishop Salas, Luo Ling understood everything.

Not long ago, Sarath wrote a letter to Wuhun City about the matters of the Primordial God Church. It seems that Bibi Dong said something to Sarath.

Luo Ling felt helpless.

On the Shrek team's side, after learning the result of the draw, the originally ambitious Shrek team instantly became depressed.

Luo Ling's strength is obvious to all, and they also know this themselves.

Tang San gritted his teeth tightly, he also understood that he was no match for Luo Ling. If he could break through to the Soul King level before the game, he would still have some chance, but there were not so many ifs.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a little resentful towards Flanders and Zhao Wuji. If they had taken him with them when they broke into the prison, he would have the strength to fight Luo Ling now!

"Xiao San, the first round is a match against Tiandou Royal Academy. Luo Ling should be on the field. What are you going to do?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice interrupted Tang San's thoughts. Tang San came back to his senses with an ugly look on his face.

After a long while, he said, "Teacher, the promotion match is a one-on-one soul battle. We can use the round-robin battle to consume Luo Ling's soul power first, and I will be the last to play. This way, our chances of winning should be higher."
