Chapter 1283

On the seventh day...

On the seventh day of the tournament, the number of spectators in Hongyu Plaza didn't decrease. Instead, it increased.

Many soul masters who had been eliminated didn't leave. They continued to watch the rest of the tournament.

There were only two matches in the youth division today. After the top eight, it was time for the top four.

Unlike the Summit Tournament, the youth division had a competition for first, second, and third place.

After the top eight, there would be four matches a day. After two days of rest, the top four would be determined. After two days of rest, the top four would be determined on the last two days.

After the sixth round of the Summit Tournament, half of the soul masters were eliminated. Less than a thousand people were left.

With so many people gone, the Soul Duelling Arena wasn't as packed as it had been in the past few days.

However, the arena was much grander.

Soul masters who could make it to this stage were all very strong. Most of them were close to each other in terms of strength. In addition, their soul power ranks were very high. Hence, the arena seemed much grander.

In Wang Feng's opinion, soul tool technology wasn't advanced enough in the Summit Tournament. Most soul masters had to rely on their spiritual power or soul skills to sense the battles of these high-level soul masters.

Furthermore, if the difference in soul power ranks was too great, they might not be able to see clearly.

If soul tool technology could be more advanced, there would be special holographic projection technology that could cover the entire Hongyu Soul Duelling Arena. Every detail of the battle would be displayed in front of the audience. That would be perfect.

However, that kind of soul tool technology was too difficult.

The most basic point was that the fighting strength and speed of high-level soul masters were too exaggerated. Most soul tools couldn't withstand such powerful attacks and speed. They could be easily damaged if they were placed on the arena.

For example, some high-level soul masters' attacks had a huge area of effect. Their attacks had no blind spots, and were easier to destroy.

Just this point alone couldn't be achieved, let alone real-time tracking. It was even more difficult for such entertainment soul tools to keep up with the fighting speed of high-level soul engineers. Otherwise, the images that were broadcasted would be blurry and pixelated.

Another problem was the real-time transmission of information. Although it could be solved by using formation arrays in soul tool technology, the transmission speed couldn't keep up with the speed of high-level soul engineers.

Otherwise, there would be a delay. The high-level soul engineers might have already finished fighting, and the images would only be broadcasted intermittently after half an hour.

In Wang Feng's opinion, those soul tool technologies were at least a thousand years ahead of the industrial era of the continent.

Even in Huo Yuhao's previous life, it was difficult to perfectly recreate a battle between high-level soul engineers.

Fortunately, the Soul Masters of this world could use their spiritual power to fight.

Otherwise, the soul masters in the audience would probably only be able to see countless flashes of light and countless scenes of destruction. They wouldn't be able to see anything else.

On the seventh day of battle, Wang Feng's opponent finally changed.

A Titled Douluo.

Naturally, Titled Douluo ten thousand years later were different from ten thousand years ago.

There were too many differences.

First of all, ultimate soul rings were different. Those who could become Titled Douluo now had standard soul rings, and it was very rare to see a Titled Douluo with a yellow hundred-year soul ring.

The change in the age of a soul ring represented the strengthening of a soul master's body.

Furthermore, the strengthening of one's body meant that a soul master would be able to withstand more soul power.

To put it simply, the amount of soul power required to reach the first rank was much more than the amount of soul power required to reach the first rank ten thousand years ago.

The reason was naturally because the Energy Tide triggered by the Star Battle Sacred Mountain had changed the concentration of the world's origin energy.

In such an environment, every increase in rank was much stronger than ten thousand years ago.

This was even more so for Titled Douluo.

Therefore, a Titled Douluo of the same rank could easily beat two or three Titled Douluo of the same rank ten thousand years ago.

Of course, it was impossible for Guan Gong to fight Qin Qiong.

The second difference was soul cores.

The reason soul cores appeared was because the Energy Tide from the Star Battle Sacred Mountain had seeped into the human world after the Energy Tide changed for the third time.

This caused the cultivations of soul masters to soar uncontrollably during that era.

Every soul master was like a person who had been starved for decades, and they started to eat and drink uncontrollably.

Their bodies started to swell rapidly, and they became stronger and stronger. However, this naturally led to their bodies exploding …

During that era, many soul beasts either died or were crippled due to the aftermath of the Second Great War of the Soul Beasts.

Soul rings could be obtained from anywhere.

There was no difficulty in obtaining soul rings, and one's cultivation speed increased tremendously. Therefore, Titled Douluo could be found everywhere.

However, it was a pity that the Titled Douluo of that era were also the weakest.

As their cultivation speed was too fast, it wasn't difficult for them to become Titled Douluo in their thirties.

In less than a few decades, a huge batch of Titled Douluo was born.

It was a pity that the rapid growth of their cultivations resulted in unstable foundations and inexperienced battles.

The Titled Douluo of that era didn't need any training at all. Even if they became Titled Douluo, they didn't need to experience many battles. Their fighting strength was naturally low, and they didn't even need to hunt soul beasts.

It was said that one could see a huge batch of soul rings in the Soul Beast Forest, and they could choose from them … Of course, this was an exaggeration.

This situation lasted for close to a hundred years before bad news started to spread.

Their foundations weren't stable, and their cultivations increased uncontrollably due to their high ranks. Thus, Titled Douluo started to be unable to withstand the soul power in their bodies, and couldn't control their soul power either. They started to explode and die, or they went crazy …

Disasters were born from this.

That was also the turning point of the era.

It was the turning point between the soul masters from ten thousand years ago and those from ten thousand years later.

It was equivalent to the awakening of spirit energy. It would bring temporary happiness to the people of that world, but they had to go through pain before they could truly enter a new era. The continent back then was rather dark.

It was also an extremely difficult period for the Federation.

Titled Douluo, who represented the top fighting strength, couldn't be controlled. Once they went crazy, they would lose their minds. It was still fine if they exploded, and at most, they would only bring disaster to an area. But if they went crazy, the disaster caused by the Titled Douluo was unimaginable.

What was worse was that because of this, soul masters were extremely fearful of the future.

But even if they didn't meditate and cultivate, their cultivations would still increase along with the changes in the origin energy of heaven and earth … Unless they were extremely weak, such as those with Rank 5 innate soul power, they wouldn't be affected too much.

Otherwise, even if your innate soul power was Rank 6, you could be forcefully pushed to a very high rank by the origin energy of heaven and earth after a hundred years.

The system of the world of soul masters was completely messed up … and the world of soul masters entered a dark era.

However, it was the darkest era that gave birth to the brightest spark.

The spark of that era was the appearance of the soul core.

The appearance of the soul core solved all the problems.
