With the appearance of the Heavenly King, especially the appearance of the Glazed Heavenly King, the opening ceremony of the King’s Cup reached a new peak.

On the floating platform, nine Heavenly Kings sat in an orderly manner.

“It’s the yearly King’s Cup again.”

The Blazing Sun Heavenly King sighed, “Time passes so quickly. The few outstanding students from last year’s King’s Cup have already graduated this year. What a pity. If they were still here this year, it would be even more exciting.”

“That might not be the case.” The Star Flame Heavenly King from the Flame Spear Continent smiled and said, “This year’s King’s Cup is very valuable. If the batch last year was placed this year, it might not even be the top 16.”

“What’s wrong, Old Star? Has your disciple finished his apprenticeship?” The Blazing Sun Heavenly King smiled and said, “You’re so confident. I remember your disciple’s name is Xu Xiu, right? Three years ago, he was also a famous Mythical martial soul owner. How’s his training in the past few years?”

At the Heavenly King level, there were usually disciples. These disciples were talented, strong, and had strong minds.

At the same time, as the disciple of a Heavenly King, the training content and difficulty were far higher than ordinary Contract Soul Masters.

“Hahaha, I know that. That child, Xu Xiu, came to our Chaotic Sea Continent’s Sea Dragon Cave to cultivate for three months a year ago.” The Cloud Sky Heavenly King laughed loudly and said, “He’s quite powerful. He cultivated in our Southern Three Continents’ United Academy for another three months. The geniuses of our Southern Three Continents’ United Academy were suppressed until they could not breathe. However…”

“But what?” The Star Flame Heavenly King glared, “You want to say that kid lost a match, right? That’s a coincidence. Your Shen Minghai is indeed powerful, but it’s definitely impossible for him to lose to her, right? I know your academy has some secret weapons hidden, but after this kid returned, he was beaten up by me for a few months. If he can still lose to you, my name will be read backward, okay?”

The Cloud Sky Heavenly King smiled but did not say anything.

“Ahem, what’s there to fight about in the children’s competition? Winning and losing are part of the process. It’s not important. They’re still young. If they lose today, they can win back in the future!” The Storm Heavenly King from the Cloud Border Continent smiled.

He looked rather old and was the youngest among the Heavenly Kings.

“Pass it down. The Storm Heavenly King said that winning or losing is not important. Let his disciple admit defeat directly,” the Northern Dark Heavenly King immediately added.

“Pass it down. The Storm Heavenly King said that winning or losing is not important. Let the three teams of the No. 1 Cloud University admit defeat directly,” the Blazing Sun Heavenly King also said.

“…”

“The few of you are playing with me, right?” The Storm Heavenly King sneered, “Then let’s just follow the rules this year? Coincidentally, not many people were gathered in the previous years. This year, almost all of your juniors are here…”

“Old rules? I won’t do it. The Glazed Heavenly King is also here. I don’t have much confidence in the disciples she nurtured. I’ll only watch the competition this year. Don’t even think about dragging me down with you! I won’t participate in any bets!” The Heavenly King of the Ice Plain Continent, the Arctic Heavenly King, shook his head.

He had snow-white hair and was a rather experienced middle-aged handsome man.

“Are you trying to drag me down with you?” The Glazed Heavenly King smiled and said, “You have a way of diverting the conflict. This disciple of mine was newly accepted two years ago and is rather ordinary in all aspects. The main reason I took him in as a disciple is that this child’s appearance… is more likable to me.”

“The last time I heard the Glazed Heavenly King say that it was very ordinary.” The Cloud Sky Heavenly King thought for a moment, “It was even in the top eight of the Nine Continent Cup. At that time, we were all very naive and thought that she was really ordinary. Then, we fought to the finals and took out a million-year-old Nine Nether Fairy. Sigh, I really pity the Profound Space Heavenly King back then.”

“He believed the Glazed Heavenly King’s words. After being miserably crushed, he should still be traumatized. Otherwise, he should have been the one to come to the Central Continent this year. In the end, it was the Jade Cloud Heavenly King.”

“…” The Heavenly Kings.

“Ahem, that’s definitely not the case!” The Jade Cloud Heavenly King explained, “Because the Profound Space Heavenly King is breaking through, he didn’t come to this competition. He asked me to come.”

“Yes, we all know he’s breaking through.” The Heavenly Kings nodded.

“…”

“Alright, alright. Elder Hong and the others are all here. The individual competition is about to begin. The team competition is also about to begin. In the next half a month, let’s slowly watch this year’s geniuses show off!”

——

After the opening ceremony, the individual competition began.

The total number of contestants in the individual competition was much fewer than in the team competition. However, the number of matches in the individual competition was better than the team. After all, they were competing individually. The team competition began with a group of people.

The people who came to participate in the individual competition were undoubtedly first-rate experts from various continents and famous universities.

There were at most a dozen universities that could fight their way out of the preliminaries.

They were definitely not weak.

There were a total of 1,500 people in the individual competition. They were then divided into ten groups.

The ten people with the most wins in each group advanced, so the preliminary stage was also called the Battle for Top 100.

As long as they killed their way out, they would basically be in the top 100 of the King’s Cup.

There were no points, only wins and losses. There were a total of ten rounds, three rounds per round.

“There’s a rather special rule in the preliminary stage.”

Wang Che pondered and said, “There’s a chance to issue an autonomous challenge. Once you defeat the other party, all the other party’s wins will be added. Once you lose, your wins will be reduced to zero and added to the opponent. Everyone only has one chance to issue an autonomous challenge and only one chance to be challenged.”

“This rule is interesting…”

“It’s interesting, but usually, no contestant will use it.” Bai Xiaoluo thought for a moment, “The risk is too great. Hmm, Junior, which competition zone are you in?”

“Zone One.” Wang Che thought for a moment.

After the opening ceremony, ten huge screen projections would appear in the air.

Countless names and corresponding contestant numbers would begin to jump. When they stopped, the contestants of the ten competition zones would be confirmed.

“Zone One?” Bai Xiaoluo’s gaze changed, “In the past years, the first zone of the King’s Cup individual competition was extremely tragic… Especially in the last round, those contestants who lost a lot of matches would challenge those winners on their own as if they had gone crazy.”

“You have to be careful.”

“In any case, there’s only one chance to challenge me.” Wang Che shook his head.

“It’s different. The individual competition of the King’s Cup is extremely intense.” Bai Xiaoluo had a serious expression, “Not only does it pay attention to the contestant’s strength, but it also focuses on the contestant’s all-round abilities, high-pressure battles, long-term battles, difficult battles, and so on. It’s a strict test of the contestant’s mind and will. Once the preliminary stage begins, there’s almost no time to rest until the end of the competition.”

“Sometimes, in a match, the opponent is a little disgusting. They can even drag it out with you for hours. It’s very torturous.”

“You won’t perform well in the next day’s competition because you’re not in good condition.”

Bai Xiaoluo was clearly experienced.

Wang Che sighed. He missed these battles in the high-pressure predicament.

He had not encountered it in a long time.

“By the way, what’s your number?” Bai Xiaoluo asked.

“No. 1.”

“…” Bai Xiaoluo.

“No. 1 of Zone One?” Bai Xiaoluo was shocked, “Junior, it’s probably difficult to keep a low profile!”

“It can’t be helped. They arranged it.” Wang Che pointed at the big screen on the high platform in front.

It was not easy to see, but since the ones who could come here were not bad in all aspects, they could just use their mental strength to sense it.

“Oh, the competition message is here. I have to prepare.” Wang Che looked at the message on his communication device, “No. 98 of Zone One, No. 1 Cloud University, fourth-year Battle Soul major, Yun Feiyang, Level 32 Battle Soul Master. His martial soul is… the M8 Ice Lightning Hurricane. This is…”

Hearing the news of the competition, the others also surrounded him.

“Holy f*ck, Ice Lightning Hurricane, a laser weapon! A mechanical martial soul born in recent times!” Wang Ka was shocked, “I’m half a military fan. The M8 Ice Lightning Hurricane is a semi-sniper firearm developed by our war zone. It’s the kind that can easily blow up a head from a few kilometers away. No. 1 Cloud University, good fellow, there are many flying-type soul pets there.”

“Brother Wang, your match won’t go very smoothly. This seems to be a tough one.”

“Moreover, the mechanical martial soul has a huge characteristic. This thing can carry temporary modification parts!”

Mechanical martial souls were born in recent times.

The awakening of a martial soul was still a mystery until now, but one of the rules was that often, as the era developed, a corresponding martial soul would gradually be born.

“Mechanical martial soul.” Wang Che thought about it and found it quite interesting.

Different continents and different universities. Since it was not a student who shocked the war zone, clearly, they did not know much about Yun Feiyang.

“Level 30…”

The information given in the competition was not very complicated. There was only the school, name, level, and martial soul of the contestants.

As for the martial soul, the soul master’s soul skills, soul pet cultivation, and soul skills, there were none.

The individual competition soon began.

The Battle God Platform was very large. Not to mention ten zones, even a hundred zones were completely enough.

Each zone was divided into many different combat venues. Flaming zone, water pool, grassland, forest, lightning valley, swamp, rocky, wasteland, mental force field, divine illusion, dragon wind domain, demon spirit pool, underworld, and the illusion space.

They almost included all the venues soul pets were good at.

Compared to the previous Aviation Cup, it was like heaven and earth.

There was even an extremely rare Time Reversal River, a special area for time-type soul pets.

There were also complicated combination combat venues.

The strange and mysterious battles were like balls of light that appeared on the high platform in the air!

There was a live broadcast of the preliminary stage. There were only recording broadcasts in other areas because of the time difference.

Moreover, because there were many matches, they would usually only capture some exciting matches and broadcast them on various online platforms and public programs.

The audience was students from various universities, Dao Arenas, teachers, students, famous and influential scholars, professors, researchers, and so on.

“The forest terrain seems to be a little unlucky?”

Wang Che looked at the venue information for the first round.

The forest terrain was more suitable for the opponent’s martial soul. It was not only suitable for grass-type soul pets.

In middle to high-level comprehensive battles, the impact of the terrain would even affect the strength of the Contract Soul Master.

The huge forest was endless.

At this moment, the contestants’ exchange was not in the venue, but outside the arena.

“Two contestants, show your numbers.”

On the small platform outside the venue, a referee yawned and said, “After giving it to me, you can go in and prepare. There are 30 seconds to prepare. After hearing the sound, it means that the competition has begun. You can destroy the terrain at will, as long as you have the ability.”

“In addition, there are various miniature sensing devices in the terrain. Don’t try to cheat at all. Any scene during your battle will be recorded. Look at the audience on top.”

The referee pointed up at the audience sitting in circles on the stage.

“Let’s not talk about our referee. These spectators are also watching at all times. There’s no lack of high-level Contract Soul Masters with very strong strength among them. Although this terrain is very vast, it’s very easy for them to catch you.”

“Anyone who dares to cheat in the King’s Cup individual competition will be disqualified from any competition in the next 50 years.”

“I believe you know the other consequences. I won’t say more.”

“My location is about a hundred meters above the forest terrain below. After jumping down, just wait quietly.”

After the referee finished speaking, he took Wang Che’s number plate and looked at it in surprise, “No. 1? Young man, your luck is not bad. This number every year is very lucky.”

“Do you mean that he will be challenged?” The man on the other side of the referee smiled and said. As he spoke, he looked at Wang Che and said, “I’m Yun Feiyang, please guide me. Wang Che, I know you!”

“Hmm?” Wang Che was stunned and smiled, “Rumors of my good looks spread to your Cloud Border Continent?”

“…” Yun Feiyang.

“That’s not it. Ahem, I have a cousin in your Forest Academy. Her name is Yun Feimo,” Yun Feiyang said.

“I see.” Wang Che nodded. It was his classmate’s cousin.

He had to be polite.

“I remember you have three soul pets, right?” Yun Feiyang thought for a moment, “I’ve compared our fighting strength. I think it’s about a 50% chance. Although it’s a little embarrassing, I’m a fourth-year student after all. I have a 50% chance of winning against a first-year student like you.”

“But in the forest terrain, you might not be my match.”

“Then I’m very honored…” Wang Che said, “To be able to fight evenly with a fourth-year senior like you.”

“Fortunately… I’m only so-so in our school.” Yun Feiyang said modestly, “I’m barely at the bottom of the preliminaries. I can only rely on my three soul pets to bully those juniors.”

“Then I’ll go down first…”

With that, Yun Feiyang leaped into the forest below and disappeared.

“Alright, you can leave too!”

The referee looked at the time, “The first round is about to begin. The first-year students are also participating in the individual competition. Their courage is commendable. If they lose, treat it as accumulating experience.”

In the King’s Cup individual competition, most of the students were third or fourth-year students. There were very few first or second-year students.

They would usually only accumulate experience and would only be tortured.

Of course, there were exceptions.

Wang Che nodded and jumped down.

“The Jade Vajra Tree… it is actually this tree…” The moment he came down, Wang Che felt that this was the end.

The Jade Vajra Tree was a low-level soul plant. It was very hard and had a relatively strong grass life force. To grass soul pets, it was quite helpful.

This wood was also very hard. If it was not processed forcefully, low-level Contract Soul Masters would not be able to use it.

They actually used soul plants as a venue. It was very generous.

It was very difficult for a Level 10 or 20 Contract Soul Master to destroy these Jade Vajra Trees when entering such a place.

Among low-level soul plants, the hardness of this tree was one of the best. Only a thousand-year soul skill could penetrate it.

Their leaves were incomparably sharp.

No wonder the referee said that…

“Hmm… Which soul pet should I give this opportunity to battle?”

Wang Che thought for a moment, “Just Bear Treasure, I guess. It can also train. If the other party has a ten-thousand-year soul pet, I’ll consider the others.”

As he spoke, Wang Che released Bear Treasure.

On the other side, Yun Feiyang was hiding on a large Jade Vajra Tree.

“Wang Che is a famous person…”

Yun Feiyang chuckled, “I didn’t expect to meet you in the first round. Let me teach you what a comprehensive professional battle is!”

With that, the soul rings on his body flashed and three purple soul rings slowly appeared.

One of the soul rings was the deepest in color and was already approaching black. This meant that the soul pet’s cultivation was not far from ten thousand years.

The first one to appear was a Wind Whisper Eagle.

“Little Eagle, go. After finding the target, immediately lock onto him. I want to instantly beat him and his soul pet the moment the competition begins!”

Yun Feiyang patted the Wind Whisper Eagle.

The Wind Whisper Eagle rose into the sky and looked down at the entire forest terrain. Its sharp eagle eyes flickered with a strange light.

Wind Whisper Eagle, a flying-type soul pet with cultivation of 4,300 years. It had two thousand-year soul skills and three hundred-year soul skills.

As the Wind Whisper Eagle gradually rose into the sky, its huge body actually slowly shrunk.

“Soul skill, Minimize!”

It shrunk its size and was almost invisible in the vast sky.

Then, it activated its second soul skill.

“Thousand-Mile Tracking!”

The characteristics of the Wind Whisper Eagle’s own species, the power to sense the air, and its powerful vision allowed it to sense enemies far away and track them.

This was a special species soul skill. Not every flying soul pet had it.

The telepathy was activated almost instantly.

The entire forest terrain seemed to appear in Yun Feiyang’s mind.

“Found them!”

The corners of Yun Feiyang’s mouth curled up.

It was the preparation stage now, less than 30 seconds.

To a first-year student who had just stepped into the comprehensive combat field, he might still be considering how to use his three soul pets.

However, he was already familiar with it.

“Tsk tsk, Junior, I’ve already caught you.”

Yun Feiyang summoned his second soul pet.

Mechanical soul pet, Charging Little Treasure, 2,300 years of cultivation.

“Little Treasure, charge!”

As soon as Yun Feiyang finished speaking, his martial soul immediately manifested and summoned the Ice Lightning Hurricane Gun. The ice-purple laser gun flowed with a dark light. The moment it appeared, it fused with the surrounding forest.

The Charging Little Treasure was a square mechanical soul pet. It was red and white and looked like a red iron block from afar.

There were two steel-like feet and small hands on the side. It quickly crawled to the side of Yun Feiyang’s Ice Lightning Hurricane Gun and used the bottom contact point to aim at the mechanical contact point above the Ice Lightning Hurricane Gun.

The next moment, majestic mechanical energy quickly condensed at the muzzle.

“Absolute Effectiveness!”

“Fatal Strike!”

“Wind Whisper Triple Bomb!”

As the three soul rings flickered, the muzzle of the Ice Lightning Hurricane Gun began to condense a large amount of energy, ready to attack!

In 30 seconds of preparation, Yun Feiyang had already prepared everything.

He didn’t completely unleash his strength because there was still the most powerful soul pet that hadn’t been completely displayed.

However, Yun Feiyang felt that this was enough. If he was too strong, he would accidentally take the other party’s life. That would be troublesome.

This combo was already his highest combat strength.

He used the Wind Whisper Eagle to sense the enemy’s location and track the enemy’s location for a thousand miles. He used Little Treasure to charge his weapon to ensure that it could unleash the greatest effect and also his soul skill.

As long as it was sniped, with this shot, even a ten-thousand-year soul pet would be heavily injured!

What was the limit of a long-range Battle Soul Master?

Long-range Battle Soul Masters had weak close combat abilities, but as long as they were given a distance, ten-thousand-year soul pets would instantly die!

Yun Feiyang looked up and pressed the switch with his fingertips. Through Thousand-Mile Tracking, he could clearly sense what the other party was doing.

“Aren’t you going to take out the three soul pets? My Wind Whisper Triple Bomb is prepared for you.”

“Good fellow, you’re still looking around? What’s so good about the Jade Vajra Tree? Hmm? You finally released your soul pet…”

“Oh, what’s this? A Bamboo Bear? It doesn’t look like it. Why haven’t I seen a Bamboo Bear in this form before? Could it be a new evolution?”

“Wait, you only summoned one soul pet? Are you that confident in yourself?”

Yun Feiyang was stunned.

As time passed, he seemed to be counting down in his mind.

However, he only saw the strange little bear and no other soul pets appear.

Yun Feiyang was a little stunned.

‘What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?’

This was the King’s Cup’s preliminary competition. Even if he wanted to hold back a little, what was the meaning of taking out a soul pet?

At this moment, many spectators were also watching the first round of the first competition.

Many people knew Wang Che’s name.

The Earth Fire Competition was too eye-catching.

From a higher position, the audience looked down and saw the forest terrain.

Those who were slightly stronger could immediately catch the movements of both sides through the location where the two landed.

Those who were weak could only look at the projection above the arena.

There was no commentator at the scene because they could understand. Normally, when the live broadcast was broadcast to the various platforms for the other audience in the war zone, different platforms would be equipped with commentators.

“Zone One, No. 1, Wang Che, this number is too attractive!”

“I’ve only heard of his name in the past. Today, I realize that he’s really handsome…”

“Yun Feiyang is from our Cloud Border Continent. This kid is still strong. He used such powerful strength right away and didn’t even test him. He wants to beat this No. 1 in one shot! He wants to teach this junior a lesson, right?”

“This No. 98’s soul pet configuration is very reasonable. There’s a flying-type soul pet for investigation, and a mechanical soul pet for charging. Coupled with the Ice Lightning Hurricane Gun that looks like it’s only Superb grade, but is actually at the Legacy level, and also in the forest terrain, this gun can probably kill!”

“Who is this No. 1? He’s so arrogant. In 30 seconds of preparation, he only summoned a soul pet and is still observing those Jade Vajra Trees. This is probably going to break the record for the fastest competition to end this year’s King’s Cup!”

The referee above the arena glanced at it expressionlessly.

At the same time, bang!

An order for the competition immediately sounded!

Almost immediately!

Bang!

The muzzle of the Ice Lightning Hurricane Gun shot out three blinding laser bullets that seemed to tear through the sky…
