"What's going on?"
"It's just a tournament; isn't this a bit too cruel?"
"This Black Tiger Soul Master is really strange. Could it be Spirit Hall's doing?"
"..."
Teachers and students from various academies had different opinions; some were puzzled, some were shocked, and some even suspected Spirit Hall.
Although Dai Mubai had not technically violated the rules, his beast-like fighting style was chilling.
In the Spirit Hall viewing area, Yu Xiaogang noticed this scene and thought to himself, 'How could this be? Could there be something wrong with the herbs Yue Guan gave me?'
Although Dai Mubai was stronger than before, he was prone to losing his mind.
In this state, he became an uncontrollable pawn and even affected the safety of his teammates.
Not only Dai Mubai had this problem; Oscar was also prone to accidentally injuring his teammates. The original food-type Soul Master had effectively become a poison-type Soul Master. Although the third and fourth soul skills could be consumed, the side effects were extremely severe.
"Dai Mubai and Oscar both have significant problems. We should use the previous lineup; at least it's safer."
However, Yu Xiaogang quickly rejected this plan.
In his view, if they only played it safe, they would likely be defeated by the Royal Fighting Team; they had to find another way.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea.
Since Dai Mubai was prone to losing his mind in battle, why not fight fire with fire? He could directly consume the sausages created by Oscar's third and fourth soul skills.
Although he would be completely insane, his strength would definitely surpass that of a Soul King.
Coupled with Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, there would be no need for other teammates; the three of them would be enough to deal with the Royal Fighting Team.
"The advantage is mine!"
Having thought of this excellent plan, Yu Xiaogang secretly felt proud; his wisdom was indeed unparalleled.
Meanwhile, the match had already been decided.
Seeing Dai Weisi severely injured and caught in a fratricidal conflict, the leader of the Star Luo Royal Academy had no choice but to concede defeat.
However, even after the referee announced the end of the match, Dai Mubai showed no sign of stopping. It wasn't until Xie Yue knocked him unconscious that he finally released his grip.
"That bastard... how dare he humiliate me like this!"
Dai Weisi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. His gaze was fixed on his mangled left shoulder, his anger finally reaching its peak.
Although he knew he was no match for the Spirit Hall Golden Generation team, the humiliating defeat still infuriated him. Especially being pushed to this point by Dai Mubai, it was utterly shameful!
Even though Dai Mubai had lost his chance to inherit the throne, he had still made Dai Weisi lose face.
Supported by Zhu Zhuyun, Dai Weisi looked up at the newly awakened Dai Mubai, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
"Dai Mubai! You'd better stay in Spirit City forever, otherwise... you're doomed!"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai's heart trembled.
He knew Dai Weisi wasn't joking. His White Tiger Martial Soul had mutated, meaning he'd lost his right to the throne. Even if Dai Weisi killed him now, no one would object.
Seeing Dai Mubai's reaction, Ma Hongjun grinned smugly.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao had stabilized his injuries and arrived at the Clear Sky Sect.
Although he knew the sect didn't welcome him, perhaps even harboring hostility, he was willing to go through fire and water to save Ah Yin.
Only with the Clear Sky Sect's help could he possibly deal with Lin Mu.
At this moment, a burly man in his thirties suddenly appeared, blocking Tang Hao's path and coldly asking, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
Under the suppression of Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect had been forced to close its gates and did not welcome outsiders.
Because Tang Hao was clad in a gray robe and his face was weathered, he showed no trace of the imposing presence of the Clear Sky Douluo.
"I am Tang Hao," Tang Hao stated directly in response to the burly man's questioning.
He had come to ask for a favor, so concealing his identity would be pointless.
Upon hearing the name "Tang Hao," the burly man's expression changed drastically. He immediately scrutinized the man, discovering that he was missing an arm and a leg, moving entirely through the support of his Soul Power.
"Although Tang Hao is a sinner of our Clear Sky Sect, he's not someone a cripple like you can impersonate."
"A cripple, huh? That's not entirely wrong," Tang Hao chuckled self-deprecatingly. Having an arm and a leg crippled by a junior, he was hardly the Clear Sky Douluo anymore.
Seeing the man's reaction, the burly man grew increasingly suspicious. Could this man really be Tang Hao?
But the problem was, Tang Hao was the renowned Clear Sky Douluo who shook the continent and had even severely injured the former Pope. How could he possibly have fallen to such a state?
"Since you claim to be Tang Hao, how can you prove it?"
"Is this enough proof?"
Tang Hao didn't explain further but directly released the Clear Sky Hammer.
Immediately afterward, nine Soul Rings swirled up from his feet, radiating a terrifying aura.
After his battle with Lin Mu, he had lost an arm and a leg, and even his Spirit Bone was taken away. Now, although he had stabilized his injuries, his Soul Power had dropped to the seventies, making it impossible for him to use his eighth and ninth Soul Rings, significantly reducing his strength.
Seeing the Clear Sky Hammer and the nine Soul Rings before him, the burly man's heart was filled with shock.
Without a doubt, this person was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, and also a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect, who had caused the death of the old Sect Master and many Clear Sky Sect disciples.
"Tang Hao! You sinner of the Clear Sky Sect, how dare you come back!"
The burly man's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, his Soul Power was surging, and his hands gripped his own Clear Sky Hammer tightly, as if he would attack at any moment.
As long as he could hold him off for a while, an Elder would naturally come to subdue this sinner.
Seeing this, Tang Hao calmly withdrew his Clear Sky Hammer and said in a deep voice, "I've returned to atone for my sins."
Upon hearing this, the burly man was stunned.
Seeing that Tang Hao didn't seem to be feigning, the burly man hesitated for a moment, but still put his Clear Sky Hammer away. It was better to leave such a sinner to the Elders.
"Come with me."
Led by the burly man, Tang Hao finally returned to the Clear Sky Sect he had longed for.
Soon, a group of Soul Masters rushed out and surrounded Tang Hao, followed by five Elders.
"Tang Hao, you beast, you actually dare to come back!"
Looking at Tang Hao before him, the Seventh Elder was instantly enraged, his eyes filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for Tang Hao implicating the sect, his eldest son wouldn't have died at the hands of Spirit Hall.
Just as he was about to act, Tang Xiao stepped in front of him, advising, "Seventh Elder, since Brother Hao has returned, showing his willingness to take responsibility, why are you in such a hurry?"
Hearing this, the Seventh Elder snorted coldly, barely suppressing his urge to attack.
Taking a few steps forward, Tang Xiao's gaze fell on Tang Hao's severed limbs, his pupils dilating in shock. He quickly grabbed Tang Hao's remaining arm.
Before Tang Xiao could speak, Tang Hao's voice rang out, filled with anxiety: "Big Brother, Ah Yin has been kidnapped!"
