The Tang Sect won, and at this moment Nan Qiuqiu's face was a bit unsightly. She nervously glanced at a middle-aged beautiful woman in the Earth Dragon Sect's team area.
Nan Qiuqiu walked over slowly.
"Hurry up and come here." The beautiful woman commanded angrily.
Nan Qiuqiu trembled slightly, walked up to the middle-aged beautiful woman who resembled her by seventy percent, and lowered her head.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I lost."
This was Nan Qiuqiu's mother, the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, Nan Shuishui.
"Losing is nothing, after all, you faced a super demon. But what nonsense were you shouting on stage? How many times have I told you, to stay calm in the face of challenges? If someone manages to kill Ye Yu, you'll marry them? And if no one does, you'll remain unmarried forever? At twenty, you still lack maturity."
"I understand. Mom, there's one more thing..."
Nan Qiuqiu hesitated to speak, fearing a harsher reprimand if she did.
"What is it?"
"Mom, actually it's like this, the reason I said those things was because I made a bet with Ye Yu. If I won, he would join the Earth Dragon Sect, and if I lost, I would join the Tang Sect. Mom, please don't hit me. I did it for the good of our Earth Dragon Sect, I didn't expect him to be that powerful."
Nan Shuishui paused, and surprisingly, she smiled.
She was supposed to be the next leader of the Earth Dragon Sect. If she left, what would happen without an inheritor? Her mother only had one daughter.
Nan Shuishui was satisfied and pleased, "Qiuqiu, you've finally done something that makes mom happy. Joining the Tang Sect is a privilege for you."
"Mom, is the Tang Sect that formidable? I've never heard of them." Nan Qiuqiu was surprised at not being chastised.
"Even though they aren't very famous now, with the talent of people like Ye Yu and Ye Ran, the other young members also appear quite remarkable, and certainly, in the future, they will be extraordinary."
"Mom, who can predict the future? I don't want to join the Tang Sect. Can you think of a way? Maybe give them some money to buy me back?"
Nan Qiuqiu had a face full of hope.
"No, though we can't predict the future of the Tang Sect, Ye Yu's talent is evident now. After joining the Tang Sect, you should establish good relationships with them, be friends, and even take it further, especially with Ye Yu."
Nan Shuishui was very appreciative and satisfied with Ye Yu.
"Let's go, let's talk with the Tang Sect team."
Nan Shuishui dragged Nan Qiuqiu over.
Nan Shuishui stepped forward to introduce herself, "I am Qiuqiu's mother, the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect. Since Qiuqiu lost the bet, she now belongs to your Tang Sect."
Huo Yuhao and the others were surprised; they thought she came to cause trouble but didn't expect her to be so pleased, it seemed like she had good foresight.
Nan Shuishui asked, "Might I place a condition for my daughter joining the Tang Sect?"
"What condition, please say." Huo Yuhao asked; having Nan Qiuqiu join the Tang Sect was excellent.
"The condition is, I hope Qiuqiu can learn more from Ye Yu."
Huo Yuhao was startled, so simple.
Ye Yu nodded, "Sure."
Nan Shuishui was very satisfied, her eyes shining as she looked at Ye Yu, and she asked, "Ye Yu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Ye Yu shook his head, "Girlfriend? No, I don't have one."
Nan Shuishui was relieved, "You don't? That's surprising; considering your excellence, you are not that young anymore. It's time to find a girlfriend."
With that, Nan Shuishui pushed Nan Qiuqiu forward.
"Well, now my daughter is no longer part of the Earth Dragon Sect, but is a member of the Tang Sect. She has many flaws, so please tolerate her, but don't spoil her. Farewell."
Nan Shuishui turned and left quickly, as if afraid that Ye Yu and the others might change their minds.
Nan Qiuqiu rolled her eyes, questioning if that was indeed her mother, so eager to send her away.
Ye Yu was about to speak but noticed that Nan Qiuqiu, with the power of a Level 89 Soul Douluo, dashed off in a blink of an eye, and he stopped himself.
He originally wanted to say, I don't have a girlfriend, but I do have a wife. Sigh...
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Welcome to the Tang Sect, you won't regret it."
"Well, since I'm part of the Tang Sect now, I will devote myself entirely to the Tang Sect." Nan Qiuqiu reconciled.
Nan Qiuqiu asked, "For the next battles, should I participate and help you?"
Xu Sanshi shook his head, "No need, with Brother Ran and Boss Yu, we can easily win."
At that moment, the last match of the day began, and the referee's voice sounded.
"Next, the Holy Spirit Sect versus Tian Dou Academy! Players from both sides, please enter the stage!"
Immediately, Huo Yuhao and the others fixed their eyes on the arena, saying nothing more.
This surprised Nan Qiuqiu; why did their expressions change all of a sudden?
The meditative Ye Ran also opened his eyes; the Holy Spirit Sect was naturally the Holy Spirit Church. Not knowing much about it, he wanted to see the strength of the team they sent out.
Though Tang Ya was not the first to come out, the black-clad youth from the Holy Spirit Sect gave off a sinister aura that made Huo Yuhao sure he was an Evil Soul Master.
The Evil Soul Master's powers exceeded those of an ordinary Soul Master. During their first participation in the All Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, they suffered heavy losses, especially the Shrek seniors, many were gravely injured, and that was when they truly realized the might of an Evil Soul Master.
Tian Dou Academy, like the Earth Dragon Sect, belongs to the Douling Empire, and is a top-tier force in the empire.
The youth from Tian Dou Academy who took the stage was tall and full of masculine vitality, forming a stark contrast with the other youth.
Both released their Martial Souls, and both were Five-Ring Soul Kings.
Their abilities made Ye Yu wary but, as Evil Soul Masters did not exist in the past millennium, he had not encountered them before, so he was curious now.
The black-clad youth emitted a faint white glow, his hands turned deathly pale, he lowered his head, and his eyes turned white.
Xu Sanshi was puzzled, "What Martial Soul is this? I can't discern it."
Huo Yuhao also shook his head, not knowing what this Martial Soul was.
To know one's enemy is crucial. Without understanding them, one cannot anticipate what Soul Techniques they might have. Mystery and the unknown are terrifying in themselves.
The youth from Tian Dou Academy wielded a slicing blade, surrounded by five optimal Soul Rings, clearly an Artifact Martial Soul.
The first Soul Ring glowed, and a slash was sent out, releasing a Half Moon Slash through the air, yellow blade light shooting out swiftly.
The Holy Spirit Sect youth's body suddenly twisted, as if becoming a shadow, the Half Moon Slash passed right through, hitting nothing substantial.
"Playing tricks."
The third Soul Ring of the Tian Dou youth shone, a gigantic blade light cleaved down, then exploded suddenly, breaking into hundreds of fine blades flying in all directions, evidently a range attack.
The black-clad youth turned into a wisp of black fog, as blades pierced through, they shattered completely.
Simultaneously, within the black fog, a chorus of ghostly wails and shrieks erupted, a skull shot out at high speed to the Tian Dou youth, merging into his body, turning the youth's body deathly pale as he collapsed to the ground.
Huo Yuhao was shocked, frowning, "This Tian Dou youth is now a living dead, his soul fully devoured. Although his body remains intact, it is now a hollow shell without a soul."
Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, "Evil Soul Masters remain brutal in their methods as always."
