In a small village outside Wangyue City on the border of the Tianhun Empire.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the ground was littered with mutilated limbs and carcasses, stained with blood, a horrifying sight.
The surviving villagers, trembling and cautious, stared intently at the two terrifying figures in the sky.
In the sky, gold and black stood in stark contrast.
The black figure was a lonely old man, hunched over, wearing a tattered black robe with many holes and long-dried bloodstains.
Behind him, a terrifying, headless, eight-armed corpse phantom emanated a sinister aura, its twisted tongue lolling out from the base of its neck, greedily staring at the golden figure before it.
Beneath his feet floated eight spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, and dark black, exerting a sense of pressure.
This evil spirit master is actually an eight-ringed Soul Douluo.
"Hehehe, I was just worried that the ordinary people in this village weren't having enough to eat, and in the blink of an eye, a delicious blood dish has arrived. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
The little girl in front of him was only a Soul Saint with seven rings, while he was an Eighth Ring Soul Douluo. Moreover, he was an Evil Soul Master, whose combat power was naturally stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, in his eyes, the little girl in front of him was already a dead person.
Opposite Xiao Ding, the Soul Douluo with the Eight-Armed Ghost Martial Soul, was a young girl of about twenty years old.
Her well-fitting outfit accentuated her slender figure, and her long, black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, giving her a refreshing look. At this moment, her beautiful face revealed a deep sense of disgust and murderous intent.
Mu Chenxi is a direct descendant of the Mu family of Shrek City. Her great-grandfather was Mu En's younger brother, and she possesses the purest aura of the Golden Holy Dragon.
After her martial soul reverted to its ancestral form, it became the closest to that of her ancestor, Yu Xiaogang.
The Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul separated from the body.
Her martial spirit is alive.
From a young age, the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul could cultivate by devouring the soul power, soul beast soul rings, and soul beast corpses in the world, and it could even nourish Mu Chenxi.
She was five years older than Beibei, and at only twenty years old, she had already broken through to the Soul Saint realm. However, she had never actually stayed in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Instead, she joined Shrek Academy's surveillance team early on to monitor the continent and eliminate evil.
Her golden holy dragon can devour the flesh and blood of evil soul masters to advance in rank.
Her martial soul is very special. The soul ring she obtained does not provide her with soul skills, but rather gives her an affinity with the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul.
Now that she is a seven-ring Soul Saint, her affinity with her Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul has reached seventy percent.
Basically, she can now perfectly control her martial spirit.
It should be noted that she had cultivated her martial soul for over a decade, devouring the corpses of countless soul beasts. As an evil soul master, her martial soul and flesh had long since reached the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Although she has no soul skills, she possesses abundant soul power, which she shares with the Golden Sacred Dragon, making it virtually inexhaustible.
With the self-created soul skills taught to her by Mu En, her combat power was already comparable to that of a Title Douluo when she was a Soul Emperor.
Now that she has broken through to the Soul Saint realm, no one knows how powerful she is.
Mu En originally intended for Mu Chenxi to succeed the Sea God Pavilion and protect Shrek Academy for a hundred years, but the Mu family is also a very large family.
The Mu En lineage is responsible to Shrek Academy, and the Mu Ci lineage is responsible to the Mu family.
Moon had no choice but to give up.
In addition, Mu Chenxi has loved freedom since she was a child and doesn't like staying at Shrek Academy or Poseidon Pavilion at all. She just wants to ride a dragon and travel the world.
Originally, she had been active in the Star Luo Empire, but the appearance of the Necromancer Holy Law Cult left her with nothing to do, so she had to move to the Heavenly Soul Empire. She had just arrived yesterday, and today she encountered a Soul Douluo-level evil soul master who committed atrocities, which was truly hateful.
"Sometimes, I really wonder if you evil spirit masters are human or beasts in disguise?" Mu Chenxi said with a look of indignation.
"A beast? A beast is no match for a human, hehe."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenxi laughed in anger.
"Yeah, why should I talk to scum like you? Little Jin, kill him."
"Kill me? Little brat, you weren't even born when I was roaming the continent. You think you can kill me with just a mere Soul Saint? I'll show you the power of my Eight-Armed Vajra."
As he finished speaking, the third purple soul ring on his body flickered slightly, and the huge demon behind him suddenly swelled up a bit. Countless black evil energies shot out from the twisted tongue inside the headless demon's neck, and the sky darkened at a visible speed.
Third Soul Skill, Black Devouring the World
His black aura is a terrifying poison gas. In every battle, he would carefully release this poison gas first, allowing him to attack or defend, and also effectively restrain his opponent. It is an extremely shameless tactic.
As the poisonous gas slowly spread, a faint golden shield appeared around Mu Chenxi, protecting every inch of her body. Behind her, in response to the golden light emanating from her, several dazzling golden rays shot out, slowly forming a huge barrier that firmly blocked the poisonous gas, preventing any of it from escaping into the village below.
After releasing the Martial Soul, the more evil Soul Masters one kills, the lower their sanity will drop to freezing point, turning them into machines that only know how to kill.
Fourth Soul Skill, Blood Shadow Ghost Hand
Upon seeing Mu Chenxi use her protective golden light to block his black aura, Xiao Ding immediately used his offensive soul skill.
The eight arms of the eight-armed demon behind him detached directly from its body, and black mist of blood gushed from the base of the arms as it reached out to grab Mu Chenxi.
While flying, there were faint ghostly howls and wailing sounds, which were extremely eerie.
"You are protected by holy light. If you are allowed to grow up, you will surely become a major threat to our Holy Church. Today, I will definitely devour you."
Faced with Xiao Ding's relentless attacks, Mu Chenxi showed no fear whatsoever. Her face remained calm, and she looked at him as if he were a pig or a dog.
Seeing the girl in front of him frozen in place, terrified by his attack, Xiao Ding revealed a sinister smile.
Upholding justice? Go to hell, with your laughable righteousness.
However, in the next moment, all the ghost arms he released were blasted away.
Moreover, the terrifying yet intense holy light that clung to the arm caused it to ignite.
His martial spirit was connected to his heart, and the intense pain began to spread throughout his body, causing his forehead to clench and cold sweat to pour down his face.
A colossal five-clawed golden dragon, soaring through the clouds and mist, coiled and moved its hundred-meter-long body, radiating an intensely dazzling holy light, like golden scales reflecting the light of the sun, or perhaps emanating from within its own body.
The five-clawed golden dragon raised its head, its body coiled and guarding Mu Chenxi, exuding an imposing aura.
"Little Jin, kill it."
Upon hearing this, the five-clawed golden dragon exhaled a breath of dragon breath and seemed to nod at Mu Chenxi as if it were sentient. Then, its enormous body suddenly charged towards the eight-armed evil spirit master.
Its unparalleled aura was chilling.
"How is this possible? It's actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast! You little brat, you can actually control a 100,000-year-old soul beast
"You guessed right, but unfortunately, the only reward is death." With Mu Chenxi's command, the dazzling and powerful five-clawed golden dragon, radiating holy light, charged towards the humans who, in its eyes, were weak.
At the same time, a drop of glistening saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth. In its eyes, the human in front of it was its food.
Even just feeling the force of such a colossal object rushing towards you would tell you how astonishing the impact was.
This extremely beautiful girl in front of me can actually control a soul beast that's a hundred thousand years old. What a blunder.
He's just a Soul Douluo, how could he be a match for a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast?
It's important to understand that in the world of Soul Masters, only after breaking through to the Title Douluo level can one possibly contend with a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. Only when one's Soul Power reaches level 93 or higher can one barely manage to fight a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast to a draw. If one wants to truly suppress a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, then one must break through to the Super Douluo level.
Moreover, this golden dragon in front of us not only possesses divine attributes and is enormous in size, but it is also a dragon-type soul beast, naturally making it several levels higher than other soul beasts.
With his limited strength, how could he possibly defeat this 100,000-year-old soul beast?
Without the slightest hesitation, his seventh soul ring lit up instantly. The martial soul behind him was sensed and immediately materialized, devouring him completely. Then, its eight arms began to spin at high speed, stirring up terrifying gales in the sky. Xiao Ding's figure also disappeared in an instant.
"Damn it, they escaped so decisively. Xiao Jin, let's go after them."
Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger.
Dragons are incredibly fast, especially high-level dragon-type soul beasts.
Moreover, Mu Chenxi possesses the Golden Sacred Dragon Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Martial Soul, not just a simple Soul Beast.
Its speed is even more remarkable.
Mu Chenxi stood atop the massive bulge on the head of the five-clawed golden dragon and sped off in the direction Xiao Ding had fled.
He fled, she chased, he had no way to escape.
Before long, the five-clawed golden dragon blocked Xiao Ding's twisted martial soul true form behind him.
Without saying much, the enormous five-clawed golden dragon swept its golden tail across, its hard scales even bearing some barbs.
That terrifying force instantly bent both arms of the Eight-Armed Demon's true form.
A ghostly shriek rang out, which annoyed Mu Chenxi. Taking advantage of the situation, the five-clawed golden dragon opened its blood-red maw and lunged at the eight-armed ghost.
"Damn it"
Xiao Ding roared angrily, and all six of his soul rings lit up.
Countless ghostly figures appeared around him, each transforming into a spiritual shield that blocked his path.
But the effect was minimal.
The two are not even in the same league.
Xiao Ding's martial spirit true form was slapped from top to bottom and then from bottom to top by the five-clawed golden dragon, flying wildly up and down like a ball.
In no time at all, the soul power of his Martial Soul True Body dissipated and almost disappeared.
With his Martial Soul True Body forcibly dispelled, Xiao Ding's figure was quickly revealed. His face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe backlash.
"No, don't kill me."
"No! Ahhh!"
In the air, the five-clawed golden dragon grabbed Xiao Ding's thin body with one of its claws. With a slight movement of its huge dragon head, it bit off his lower body with a snap.
As he ate, Jinlong showed a look of disgust on his face, as if he thought his meat was not tasty.
"Xiao Jin, eat slowly, don't let him die too easily."
Mu Chenxi was already used to this scene. Xiao Jin's cultivation level was achieved by eating evil spirit masters. Originally, she could have let Xiao Jin eat him in one bite, but this eight-armed evil spirit master was too evil and disgusted her.
"Ahhhhh."
The screams continued, echoing throughout the space, and were quite chilling.
"Huh?"
Mu Chenxi suddenly raised her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and looked into the distance. A silver streak of light flew towards her, and the aura was very familiar.
"Sister Lexuan?"
She asked uncertainly, then quickly had her martial spirit devour the wicked evil spirit master before riding on the head of the five-clawed golden dragon to meet it.
She wasn't quite sure. The figure's aura was very similar to Sister Lexuan's, but it was much stronger. When she left Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan was only level 79. In such a short time, even if she had high talent, she wouldn't have grown to the point where her martial soul would be afraid of her.
However, when she saw the beautiful, familiar yet unfamiliar figure coming towards her from the air, she finally realized it.
"Sister Lexuan!"
"Chenxi!" He patted the dust off his body and then rushed straight towards Zhang Lexuan, embracing her tightly and holding her slender waist.
"Sister Lexuan, I've missed you so much! It's been so long since we last met!"
Zhang Lexuan is six years older than her. When she was little, she always followed Zhang Lexuan around. When Beibei was able to walk, Zhang Lexuan had two little shadows by her side. The three of them had a very deep relationship. She also relied on Zhang Lexuan a lot and always regarded her as her own older sister.
"I miss you too. What, was Mu Nuxia fighting demons again?" Zhang Lexuan's eyes were full of doting affection.
She doesn't have many close friends. She has two younger siblings: one is Beibei, and the other is, naturally, her quirky yet freedom-loving younger sister.
"That's right, Sister Lexuan, you don't know, just now, I instantly killed a Soul Douluo-level evil Soul Master, and he's in Xiao Jin's belly right now!" After saying that, Mu Chenxi took a special look at Xiao Jin, "Xiao Jin, don't you think so?" Xiao Jin nodded repeatedly and rubbed against Zhang Lexuan's heel.
It is very close to Zhang Lexuan.
When it was little, Zhang Lexuan often fed it, giving it handfuls of soul beast meat, unlike its poor owner who fed it pig feed every day.
"You! Seeing that you're safe and sound puts my mind at ease. So, have you found your Mr. Right yet?"
Mu Chenxi has dreamed since childhood of riding a dragon across the world, slaying all evil soul masters, and then finding a perfect husband to accompany her on her travels.
It seems she has succeeded in slaying the demon, but finding a suitable husband is probably still a long way off.
"Oh dear, Sister Lexuan, in this world, anyone my age who can beat me isn't even born yet. I don't want to date a man weaker than me," Mu Chenxi said, stepping out of Zhang Lexuan's embrace, then hugging her arm.
"By the way, Sister Lexuan, what brings you all this way to see me?" Mu Chenxi didn't believe that Zhang Lexuan's appearance here was a coincidence; she must have come specifically to find her.
Could it be that something happened at the academy?
A moment later
After Zhang Lexuan and Mu Chenxi explained the whole story, she suddenly understood and then sighed with emotion.
"I never imagined that so many big things would happen at Shrek Academy since Moon's great-grandfather died. But, is Marshal Xingluo really dead?"
Mu Chenxi felt quite regretful upon hearing this news. She greatly admired Xing Luo Shuai; not only was he powerful, but he also pitied the world. He not only saved innocent evil spirit masters but also severely punished evil spirit masters. Furthermore, he gave everyone free martial spirit awakening and distributed subsidies. She respected such an exceptionally good person the most in her life, and she regarded Xing Luo Shuai as her idol, determined to meet him. But now, she didn't get to meet her idol, and he was dead.
Perhaps this is life!
"Is he dead? He probably is!"
Huo Yuhao carved a special magical circuit on her body, which allowed him to sense her condition at all times. After Zhang Lexuan broke through to the Limit Douluo level, she could also vaguely sense Huo Yuhao's aura through this mark.
Zhang Lexuan knew best whether he was dead or not.
However, since Huo Yuhao faked his death, he must have had his reasons, and she didn't want to reveal any information about him.
After a moment of sadness, Mu Chenxi suddenly put on an embarrassed smile.
"Sister Lexuan, are you sure you really want me to go to the All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Competition? With my strength, if I go to compete, wouldn't that be bullying people? As soon as Xiao Jin comes out, everyone will be scared and leave immediately."
Zhang Lexuan took her small hand and said calmly, "It is impolite not to reciprocate. Since the Sun Moon Empire, along with the other three great empires, can arbitrarily change the rules of the Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Competition because of the division of interests, then Shrek Academy will let them know what the price of changing the rules will be."
"Chenxi, Shrek Academy's glory for millennia rests on your shoulders. In truth, even without the temporary rule changes, our academy would have had a very difficult time winning the championship. The Star Luo Empire's team is simply too strong, and the Body Sect has also infiltrated the Heavenly Soul Empire's team, intending to emerge. Perhaps only with your participation can we lead the academy through all obstacles and win the championship of this competition."
"Um"
Mu Chenxi smiled, she was very confident in her abilities.
"In that case, I'll go and have some fun at the Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament."
With the matter of the Undead Demiplane settled, Huo Yuhao immediately appeared in the Light Demiplane.
Because the transformation into seven colors has finally come to an end.
The seven-colored one was originally a clone of the nine-colored one. Now that the clone has completely devoured the original, it is truly a reversal of the natural order.
However, Huo Yuhao was the one who profited the most.
At this moment, Qicai is no longer the little girl she once was.
She is now as tall as Huo Yuhao, wearing a long, gold-embroidered, seven-colored dress. Her figure is curvaceous, slender, and elegant. Her golden hair shines even brighter under the golden light of the Bright Demiplane.
Her stunning face bears a striking resemblance to Jiu Cai's, but she possesses a more youthful and innocent charm.
At first, Huo Yuhao was worried that Qicai would be no match for Jiucai and would suffer a backlash. But when he saw Qicai's clear yet foolish eyes and sensed her aura, he was certain that this Qicai was still the original. However, Huo Yuhao was still a little unaccustomed to the fact that the little girl had turned into a beautiful girl in the blink of an eye.
"Huo Yuhao, I have succeeded."
"Yes, yes, you succeeded."
Well, this mouth truly lives up to its name of being seven-colored.
"Huo Yuhao, I know where the original body is being held. Let's go avenge her." Qi Cai Si didn't realize she had grown up. She rushed to Huo Yuhao's side and, just like before, hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
Feeling his arms sink into a warm embrace, Huo Yuhao coughed a few times, pulled his hands away from her chest, and then decisively refused.
"No, I'm very busy!"
"Huo Yuhao, I still have a part of my body left there to confuse Tang Hao and his wife. We can take it back and eat it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Qicai with newfound respect.
I used to just know who I am and threaten him with the Bright Demiplane all the time, but now I'm actually using my brain and tempting him with benefits.
He admitted that he was attracted to her.
After several enhancements, and the fusion of the power of the Nine-Colored Plane belonging to Douluo Star, the Bright Demiplane is only one step away from becoming a true plane.
Although the Light Demiplane no longer had any real use for him, it was still a gift from Elex, and something he had built up little by little.
As a descendant of the dragon, he has some talent for infrastructure development and is also very interested in farming and animal husbandry.
He felt quite accomplished as his own world was about to be built.
Since he had already broken up with Tang San, he didn't mind offending Tang San.
After several encounters with god-level powerhouses, and having personally faced Tang San's soul clone, Huo Yuhao was certain that Tang San could never defeat him.
Tang Hao and Blue Silver Emperor A Yin are Tang San's parents. They should live in the God Realm, but they have stayed in the mortal realm to help their son seize Douluo Star.
These two thorns stuck in the Douluo Continent are still somewhat annoying. Sometimes it's indeed worthwhile to pull them out, since it's only a matter of time.
Huo Yuhao would agree to Qi Cai's requests as long as they weren't completely unreasonable, since Qi Cai was someone whose fate was intertwined with his own.
"By the way, Seven Colors, are you a physical entity or an energy entity now?"
Huo Yuhao asked the question he was most curious about.
He was well aware that the seven colors were energy bodies, but now, with a real tactile sensation, he felt a little insecure.
"Hehe, after absorbing the nine colors, I will have a physical body. From now on, I can go and eat the delicious food on the street."
"A physical form, what a pity. I wanted you to continue to shield me from attacks when I condensed my third soul core."
"Huo Yuhao, you big bad guy!"
"Alright, I agree to your request, but I'll go after I've finished dealing with the Sun Moon Empire."
"Really? Huo Yuhao, you're so kind."
Huo Yuhao: "."
Xingluo Empire, Xingluo Imperial City Grand Square.
The two-day rest period passed quickly. During this time, the replenishment of personnel by the major empires was completed. After all, the four major empires had already started discussing this after the end of the round-robin tournament. Two days was enough time for the major empires to replenish their manpower and rush to Xingluo City.
However, the audience was unaware of these changes; they simply noticed that there seemed to be many unfamiliar figures among the teams on the field.
But they didn't care about any of that; as long as there was a game to watch, that was enough for them.
However, the coaches and advisors of the sixteen teams that advanced to the next round began to have headaches.
I made sure not to miss a single match beforehand, memorizing the soul skills of some of the strongest members from other teams, in order to figure out how to defeat them.
As a result, those above only had to give orders, while those below had to run themselves ragged.
The sudden addition of so many unfamiliar geniuses to the competition rendered all their previous efforts futile.
Although this was advantageous to them, the newcomer was a genius, but they had no time to work together at all.
Poor cooperation could backfire, but knowing that all colleges are like this makes them feel a little more at ease.
This All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition has been full of twists and turns, and everyone just wants it to end smoothly.
As the sun rose higher, all sixteen teams gradually arrived.
This time, the referee was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a simple gray robe. He didn't exude any special aura, but the dazzling star crown on his head revealed his identity.
In the Star Luo Empire, every member of the Star Crown Xu family wears a star crown, not for show, but because their unique Star Crown Martial Soul can be cultivated. They are constantly absorbing the power of the stars in the sky through secret methods.
Even during the day, they possess the power of stars. Their unique soul skills require star power to accumulate, so they always wear star crowns on their heads.
Therefore, in the Star Luo Empire, it is very easy to identify who are members of the Xu family.
As soon as the old man stepped onto the stage, he began to announce some important points for the competition. Then, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, he announced the two teams for the first match.
"Alright, I believe everyone has understood. I won't say any more. Now, please, team members of the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy team and the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy team, get ready. Both team captains, please come forward and draw your match modes."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
The Star Luo Empire's officials understand them; they made sure to give them a thrilling first match.
This isn't a loop race; if you lose here, you're completely out of the running for the championship.
Both teams are title favorites, and they've already faced each other in the first match. Doesn't that mean one of them won't even make it to the quarterfinals?
After this match, one of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire will be embarrassed.
Unlike the reactions of the other spectators, the leader of the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy had a grim face.
He strongly suspects that this was a rigged operation.
After all, others may not know, but they do.
The nature of this competition has changed; it now involves a struggle for interests related to terrorism.
The far north is vast and home to many ice-attribute soul beasts.
Each soul beast is extremely valuable, and the older it is, the more valuable it is.
The four great empires are undoubtedly going to annihilate the far north with the intention of doing so. This one-fifth share is not just a small amount of soul coins.
This is a huge bet worth billions or even tens of billions.
The Star Luo Empire has three favorites to win the championship, but the Heavenly Soul Empire only has one.
The other temporarily assembled strong team has very strong players, but they still need time to gel together.
The Star Luo Empire's move caught them completely off guard.
Although he highly valued the strength of the disciples of the Body Sect, he also recognized that the strength of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy should not be underestimated.
Old Chen sighed deeply, seemingly feeling unfortunate about his bad luck.
Originally, the addition of the Body Sect made him feel confident and thought he still had a chance to compete with Shrek Academy. However, there were just too many dark horses in this competition.
In this competition, unless we draw a 2-2-3 team fight and have a slight chance of winning, there is absolutely no chance of victory.
Because, if he wasn't mistaken, the leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy should be the mysterious powerhouse with unfathomable strength from the day of the top-tier auction.
He would never believe that someone under twenty could possess such skill.
However, Xu Changsheng brazenly registered for the competition. It is certain that, although it is unknown what methods he used, he did meet the standards.
"Long Aochen, just do your best in this competition." Elder Chen looked solemnly at the team leader of the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy.
However, the relationship between the two was clearly very distant.
Upon hearing this, Long Aochen merely nodded slightly with an air of aloofness.
Elder Chen had no complaints about this. After all, although it was called the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy, this team only had one Soul Emperor-level auxiliary Soul Master from their Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy.
On the other side, in the rest area of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, the beautiful and charming Xu Jiujiu glanced at the old ancestor who was drinking tea, hesitated for a moment, and then asked...
"Ancestor, aren't you going up to draw lots? The leader of the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy has already gone up."
"Jiujiu, you can go. I don't plan to play."
"Ancestor, why is this?" he asked, puzzled. After all, with the ancestor's abilities, winning the championship in this competition would have been a piece of cake.
Xu Changsheng chuckled.
"Your ancestor may be thick-skinned, but the Star Luo Empire still has its pride. That day, when I made my move, I didn't bother to conceal my identity. All three empires knew that I, the Hall Master of the Judgment Hall, was participating in this competition. In the past, it would have been fine; the championship would have been just an empty title. But now it's different. I can't act recklessly anymore."
"But..." Xu Jiujiu suddenly felt a little lost.
"But Ancestor, the opponents are the elite of the BenTi Sect. Without you, my teammates and I would not be a match for them."
"Don't worry, I have more than one clone. Xu Sansheng will be on the field later. The Soul Saint clone should be enough to handle this match."
After hearing Xu Changsheng's words, Xu Jiujiu finally reacted and looked towards the reserve team's seats. Sure enough, he saw a silver figure sitting there.
It should be an avatar that the ancestor created.
The old ancestor is truly shameless. He himself is not going to participate, but he has sent his other clone to participate.
However, Xu Jiujiu was finally relieved and strode onto the competition stage, standing with Long Aochen in front of the lottery box.
"The two team captains will now draw lots."
After the referee finished speaking, Long Aochen and Xu Jiujiu both reached into the lottery box, drew three lots each, and then handed the results to the referee.
To ensure fairness, the final match will be decided by having each team captain draw lots three times. The team with the most identical lots will be the final match.
A moment later
"The draw is complete. Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy will face Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy in a 2-2-3 formation. Both sides, please make your arrangements. The first match of the 2-2-3 formation will begin in five minutes."
Both team leaders walked off the stage with expressionless faces.
Long Aochen looked indifferent. He didn't care about the form of the competition. This time, the Ben Ti Sect had sent a lineup of three Soul Emperors and three Soul Kings, and he himself was a powerful Soul Saint. Although there were several teams with Soul Saint level experts in the previous competitions, he didn't take them seriously.
They are from the Body Sect, and the second awakening of their Body Martial Soul makes them virtually invincible among their peers.
The champion of this competition can only be their own sect.
His opponents have never been trash academies like the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy.
"For the first match, Qingfeng and Wang He, you two go." Long Aochen skipped over team leader Chen Lao and arranged the order of appearance himself. After all, the team leader of the Heavenly Soul Empire couldn't control their Ben Ti Sect.
After being called by Long Aochen, two muscular young men stepped forward, exchanged a glance, and strode towards the competition stage.
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu also took off the gorgeous gold-embroidered cloak she was wearing, revealing her refreshing combat outfit, which looked very heroic. After discussing with Xu Changsheng, she and Huang Chuhe went up to the competition stage together.
For the first match, Xu Jiujiu decided to take the stage himself.
With their ancestor's appearance, the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy team had already won one match, so if they could win this one, they would be the winner.
After stepping onto the competition stage, Xu Jiujiu turned his gaze to the two figures opposite him.
The young man named Qingfeng had a large head, like a bobblehead. It was speculated that his martial soul was probably his head. The other one had very well-developed muscles in his right arm, so his martial soul was probably his arm.
That's the good thing about the original martial soul; it's very easy to guess.
You can tell just by looking at its appearance.
I just don't know what level it is.
She is guaranteed to win against opponents below the Soul Saint level, but the outcome becomes more uncertain if there is a Soul Saint among them.
Xu Jiujiu couldn't discern his opponent's soul power level for a long time, but the referee, being a Title Douluo, could. He glanced at Xu Jiujiu with a somewhat serious expression, and then spoke loudly.
"After both sides have adjusted their positions, I want to emphasize again that you must not intentionally injure your opponent; stop when you've made a point."
Upon hearing this, the four of them retreated. Qingfeng and Wang He retreated slowly, not caring much about the distance, but Xu Jiujiu and Huang Heyun retreated rapidly, creating a great distance between them in just a few breaths.
Just then, the referee's voice suddenly rang out.
"The first match of the 2-2-3 battle between the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy and the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy has officially begun."
After saying that, he disappeared from the competition stage in an instant, and the four people who heard the voice reacted very quickly.
Qingfeng and Wang He instantly possessed their martial spirits.
Soul power surged around Qingfeng, and his head grew three times larger, making his body look so small and comical.
Six soul rings—two yellow, one purple, and three black—emerged from the soles of his feet, swirling around his Iron Head Martial Soul.
Wang He was no less powerful than him. His soul power surged and all flowed to his right arm. His arm instantly became thicker and darker in color, and under the sunlight, it even showed a shiny luster.
After the martial spirit was attached to his body, six spirit rings of different colors—yellow, purple, black, and dark black—soon appeared on his arm, pulsating slowly.
Seeing this, a hint of seriousness flashed across her face, but her expression remained confident.
The opposing team leader wasn't stupid either; he didn't underestimate them. They fielded two Soul Emperors in this match. However, what I want to say is that although the difference in soul power is obvious, they are destined to win this match.
If it were any other academy, she wouldn't have much trouble dealing with them, but this opponent just happened to be the Body Sect, the sect in the Douluo Continent that hates soul tools the most.
Fighting them means that the opponent has no other means besides being a Soul Master, and even a Soul Guidance Shield is impossible for them.
In stark contrast to the Body Sect, the Star Luo Empire was the most proactive and effective empire in catching up with the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools.
She possesses countless soul guidance techniques, which, combined with the starlight soul skills she can cultivate, allow her to contend with these two Soul Emperors.
While the two members of the Body Sect were possessing their martial souls, Xu Jiujiu and Huang Heyun did not immediately possess their martial souls. Instead, they were densely arranging something in all directions around the very edge of the arena.
That's a combination of a soul-guided milk bottle and a special soul tool that can be moved. Judging by the number, it should be a worthless soul tool, otherwise there wouldn't be so many.
Seeing this, Qingfeng's third purple soul ring lit up, and an invisible wave of light appeared, blasting towards one of the soul tools.
The attack hit its mark, but before he could even rejoice, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. All the special soul guides began to move, and countless white mists spewed out from them. Soon, the dense white mist spewed from the numerous soul guide devices enveloped the entire arena, reducing visibility to almost zero.
Although Qingfeng and Wang He were somewhat surprised, they did not think there was any poison involved. After all, the use of poisonous methods other than martial spirits was prohibited in the competition, and the two opponents were also on the competition stage, so it was unlikely that they would poison themselves.
This is just ordinary fog.
However, this level of fog had completely blocked their vision; all four of them were now blind.
After a long while, a smile finally appeared on her lips, and her martial spirit was instantly released, with the first yellow soul ring shining brightly.
"First Soul Skill, Star Guiding Technique."
The two people opposite her became blind, but she didn't.
A beam of starlight fell from the sky and shone on Qingfeng and Wang He. This beam of starlight was like a star in the sky, guiding the two forward.
If they were in complete darkness, this starlight would undoubtedly be their lifeline, but this is a competition, after all.
The two were incredibly clever; they immediately understood the purpose of the two beams of starlight. The dense white fog released by the other side blinded them, while the other side could accurately locate them by following the guidance of these two beams of starlight.
The fog on the competition stage continued to thicken, to the point where it was practically impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face. This immediately surprised all the team members in the rest area.
Clearly, this is a special tactic of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy. They have a way to accurately locate the enemy in the fog, which is why they release such a dense fog.
It's a pity they won't get to see this exciting match, nor will they be able to observe what other killer moves the two teams are hiding.
Compared to them, the scene in the stands was quite lively. Everyone was in an uproar because they didn't expect that the first match they had been waiting for would be blocked by white fog and they couldn't see anything. Wasn't this just messing with them?
They came here to pay to watch the game, not to see the air. This tactic of Xu Jiujiu really annoyed them.
On the competition stage, Qingfeng and Wang He stood back to back, relying on each other to guard against all directions.
The competition venue wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either. The two of them simply couldn't pinpoint each other's location.
Xu Jiujiu and Wang Heyun released their martial spirits, then took out several fixed-installation soul-guided launcher pipes from their storage soul guides. After filling them, they pulled the triggers in the direction indicated by the starlight.
Several booming sounds rang out, and Qingfeng instantly became alert. His martial soul was his head, and when his martial soul possessed him, all the senses in his head would be greatly enhanced.
He recognized the sound of the shells being fired and quickly determined their approximate location. He then led Wang He to dodge to the other side. However, due to the speed and number of shells being fired, the two of them were hit by several bullets despite their timely evasion.
A series of booming sounds rang out, and the two hurriedly used all their soul power to resist, but they were still blasted into minor injuries. Behind them was the Star Luo Royal Family, and the level of the fixed soul-guided cannon on her body could not be low!
Qingfeng and Wang He had just endured at least four level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells. Although they were both Soul Emperors, such a level of attack would be painful for anyone to receive.
And that wasn't the end of it. Soon, Xu Jiujiu and Wang Heyun's second round of attacks arrived, leaving Qingfeng and Wang He very passive.
"Iron Head, did you see it clearly just now?"
"No, although the white mist dispersed a lot at the moment of the explosion, it only lasted for a moment before it started to condense again, making it impossible to locate their positions."
Neither of them were fools. During the long-term attack, they were also trying to find a weakness and locate the two, but unfortunately, the results were minimal.
Xu Jiujiu's move was truly shameless.
If they were Soul Masters of other attributes, they wouldn't be so passive. But they are Body Martial Souls, and basically only have close combat skills.
Actually, it was just bad luck. If Zhu Feng, who has a leg-based martial spirit, had been in this match, the kites of the two opponents would have been nothing but a joke.
"Wang He, this match is in your hands. I'll give you the callouts. Their strategy is indeed very good, but unfortunately, they just happened to run into me."
As soon as Qingfeng finished speaking, his soul power surged and rushed towards his head. At the same time, the entire head of his main spirit began to change from the color of black iron to bronze. At this moment, the soul rings on his back flashed, making his eyes even brighter and his ears even larger.
"Bronze-level second awakening can increase my eyesight and hearing tenfold. It's not difficult to focus on sensing what the other person is saying and pinpoint their location."
"However, in that case, I can only give you the information, and it consumes a lot of my energy. I will run out of soul power in five minutes, so now it's you fighting two against one."
Wang He grinned, "As long as we have their location, those two Soul Kings are nothing but a flick of the wrist; we can wipe them out."
"In that case, be careful."
With the blessing of the Bronze-level second awakening, Qingfeng accurately led Wang He to dodge this bombardment.
"500 meters to the southeast."
"good"
The fifth black soul ring behind Wang He instantly lit up, and his arm grew thicker and longer by at least twice as much, making him look like a crab with large claws, which was very comical.
He bent down, placing all four limbs on the ground. His massive right arm martial spirit began to exert its power, and his entire body shot off in the direction Qingfeng had indicated, like a bullet.
As he approached the two people, he could already see their figures; after all, he was only blinded by the fog, not truly blind.
Moreover, their sect has always been straightforward, so when they encountered a team like the Star Luo Empire that used underhanded tactics, they were naturally furious.
His fifth soul skill is called Rock Blade. In addition to enhancing his body's defense by 100%, it can also generate hard barbs, making his arm as sharp as a blade.
After spotting the two figures, he didn't hesitate for a moment. With a cruel smile, he threw a punch at Xu Jiujiu, who was closest to him.
"You found our location so quickly, not bad!"
Just as Wang He's right arm struck, her invincible shield was activated, blocking his powerful attack.
However, the difference in their soul power was a full ten levels, so Wang He's attack still sent Xu Jiujiu flying far away.
Huang Heyun hurriedly released his soul skill, and the Black Tiger Martial Soul, enhanced by the soul skill, immediately accelerated and caught Xu Jiujiu, who was retreating rapidly.
Before the two had even stopped, he quickly caught up again, throwing a punch and pressing his advantage.
However, the cunning Xu Jiujiu would not let him have his way. Suddenly, a flying soul tool appeared behind her, with energy beams shooting out from the wingtips. The impact made her disappear from Wang He's sight at lightning speed.
Seeing this, Huang Heyun understood immediately and sped off in the opposite direction, putting distance between himself and Wang He.
Everything seemed to have returned to square one, but Wang He was not alarmed at all, because soon, Qingfeng's prompt came again, "One hundred meters to the southwest, two hundred and fifty meters to the southeast."
