Chapter 222: Old cow and young grass?

"Confidence comes from strength. If you insist that we participate, it's not impossible. Unless the prize for the champion is a soul bone."

Sima Lanxiao's face changed. He was very clear about what soul bones were. Even when Douluo Continent was still in the cold weapon era 20,000 years ago, soul bones were an absolute treasure. And today, the rarity of soul bones can be imagined.

Soul bones come from soul beasts, but unlike soul rings that appear in every soul beast, the chance of a soul bone appearing is only one in a thousand, and that's based on a soul beast that's ten thousand years old. Only a soul beast that's one hundred thousand years old will definitely produce soul bones.

Although there is still an ancient forest in Xingluo Continent, this forest has been strictly prohibited by Xingluo Federation, and it is impossible to hunt the soul beasts in it. Even if you want to hunt and succeed in the end, once you are found, you will be sentenced to death.

"Mr. Cai, our competition is called the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, which is divided into many types of competitions. There are individual competitions, team competitions, mecha competitions, and so on. As for the soul bones you mentioned, we only give one soul bone reward to the final champion of the individual competition. In the team competition, the final reward for the seven-person team competition is one soul forging metal per person. The final reward for the two-on-two competition is a ten-thousand-year spiritual object. The final champion reward for the mecha competition is a black-level mecha, and the runner-up and third place are purple-level mechas. So, in the case of only one soul bone, you see..."

Cai Yue'er raised her eyebrows slightly. She hadn't expected that the prizes for the Star Luo Empire's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition would be so generous. Not only were there real soul bones, but the prizes for other competitions were also quite good.

"It sounds good, but the prizes for your different competitions seem to be quite different!"

Although soul-forging metals, mechas, and natural treasures and spiritual herbs are all good, there is still a big difference in their preciousness compared to soul bones.

Sima Lanxiao said: "The reason why the prizes for one-on-one competitions are so generous is because our one-on-one competitions are called the Infinite Challenge. In other words, you can use any means to compete in the competition, mechas, battle armors, martial souls, soul guides, anything. Moreover, you have to sign a life and death agreement. Only extremely precious prizes can attract the most people to participate. This one-on-one competition is also the most important of all our competitions."

This is different from the situation on Douluo Continent, where seven-on-seven team battles are king. But here, obviously, individual heroism is more valued.

"What are the restrictions for participation?" Cai Yue'er asked calmly.

Sima Lanxiao was delighted, knowing that she was somewhat interested, "Under 20 years old. There are no other restrictions. Especially for everyone from Shrek Academy."

"Okay." Cai Yue'er's answer was just a simple word.

Riding on the luxurious soul-guided train, everyone admired the city scenery unique to the Star Luo Empire.

Compared to the prosperity and mechanization of Douluo Continent, Xingluo Continent is obviously more primitive. After all, the time of development here is far less than that of Douluo Continent.

The speed of the soul guide train was also much slower. Outside the window, forests and lakes appeared one after another. The clear air allowed one to see far into the distance. Occasionally, when passing through some cities, one could see with careful identification that their level of modernization was still quite different from that of Douluo Continent.

The food in Xingluo Continent is not much different from that in Douluo Continent. In order to entertain the members of the delegation, very rich food was prepared on the train.

Seeing the scenery and eating delicious food, this kind of relaxing trip was unprecedented for them. At least they hadn't had such a good life since they joined Shrek Academy.

Also on the same train with them were the envoys from the Xingluo Royal Academy delegation, all sitting in the same carriage.

There were some frictions between the two sides when they first boarded the ship, but they gradually became familiar with each other. They never really fought.

Every four people on the train sit opposite each other, with a table in the middle.

At this time, Gu You was eating delicious food like crazy!
At the Xingluo Royal Academy, there were also four people sitting at each table, and they kept looking towards Gu You and the others.

"That guy is a real eater." A girl whispered, "He's pretty good-looking too." Another girl sitting opposite her smiled, "Zhenzhen, are you trying to get the upper hand over a young guy? He's four or five years younger than us. He's the captain of the Shrek Academy team. Did you see the sea soul beasts besieging us that day? He transformed into a dragon body that looked like a dragon king. He was really strong."

"That seems to be the true body of the martial soul, right?"

"Don't tease me. How young is he? How can he have the seventh soul skill? Don't try to show off your power and destroy our morale. Our captain is already level 55, definitely not weaker than him. And he also has a full set of one-word battle armor."

"Look, what is that!" a student from Xingluo Royal Academy said in horror.

Everyone looked at it.

"Isn't this a mecha?"

But then, spots of light began to appear on those mechas.

At this moment, Cai Yue'er, who had been sitting in her seat with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head to look out the window.

"The visitor is evil!"

A cool breath suddenly burst out from the seat in front, and then a cold light swept across the top of the car.

There was a sudden light above everyone's heads, and the roof of the carriage was blown off. Then, a strong wind rushed in.

The next moment, Wu Changkong soared into the air, releasing his two-word battle armor, and the ice-blue soul power surrounded everyone, preventing them from getting hurt, including the students of Xingluo Academy.

Loud roars continued to sound.

Gu You watched through the perspective of the Purple Demon Eye, and saw soul guide shells pouring directly onto the soul guide train. There were more than a hundred mechas flying in the distance, and the leading one was red!

However, unlike Makino's red mecha, this red mecha was in the shape of a goshawk, with its wings spread out, and it was incredibly fast. Almost at the same time as the explosion, it had already appeared above the soul guide train.

The violent explosion caused all the carriages of the soul guide train to flip over at the same time, flames rose, there was a huge roar, and fragments of the soul guide train explosion flew everywhere.

You know, this special train carries quite a few delegation members from Douluo Continent!
After the delegation entered the Xingluo Continent, although they dispersed in the coastal cities, at least half of them were heading to Xingluo City, and all of them were on this soul guide train.

But at this moment, a strange scene appeared.

Layers of silver light spread across the rolling soul guide train, and the flames of the explosion quickly extinguished. The soul guide train...
