Shrek Academy, which was eliminated in one round
Chapter 166 Shrek Academy's First-Round Exit
"The match begins!"
No sooner had the referee's voice fallen than Huo Wu charged toward the Shrek Academy camp like a red lightning bolt.
Her fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and the blazing resistance fire ring erupted instantly. Jiang Zhu was blasted out of the arena before she could even release her healing spirit skill, and crashed heavily to the edge of the arena.
"Jiangzhu!" Tyrone roared as he charged forward, his thick arms bulging with muscles.
However, Feng Xiaotian's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, and with a gentle flap of his blue wings, he avoided his attack.
"Too slow." Feng Xiaotian's lips curled into a contemptuous smile as his hands transformed into sharp wind blades. "Thirty-six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf!"
The first strike landed, and Talon barely managed to block it with his arms crossed; with the second strike, his knees were already slightly bent; with the third strike, Talon's thick defense was torn apart like paper, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot, and he instantly activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, causing his muscles to bulge.
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
He roared and charged toward Feng Xiaotian, only to find that the other party neither dodged nor avoided him, and the thirty-sixth slash came straight at him with a piercing sound of air being torn apart.
"Bang!"
At the moment of impact, Dai Mubai clearly heard the sound of his wrist bone shattering.
The excruciating pain made his vision go black, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to fall.
Feng Xiaotian sneered and delivered another heavy blow. Dai Mubai finally couldn't hold on and knelt on one knee.
Five minutes later, the referee's voice echoed throughout the arena: "Match over, Kamikaze Academy wins!"
The sound seemed so distant to Dai Mubai, as if it were coming through a thick layer of frosted glass.
A wave of laughter erupted from the audience, and some even whistled shrilly.
"This level of skill dares to participate in the finals?"
"Shrek? Maybe we should just rename him Slime!"
In the VIP section, Chu Xinghe clapped lightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Without Tang San and Xiao Wu, Shrek Academy would be nothing more than a third-rate academy."
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of those around him.
Zhu Zhuqing watched coldly, her delicate face revealing no emotional fluctuation.
On the stage, Dai Mubai struggled to lift his head, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.
His gaze cut through the noisy crowd and fixed intently on the area where the Star Luo Empire's representative team was located in the distance.
There, his brother Davis was watching them with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.
Back in the rest area, Ma Hongjun slumped to the ground like a lump of mud, staring blankly at the azure sky, even his favorite roast chicken, which he usually ate, had no appetite for.
His phoenix flames seemed to have died out along with his fighting spirit, and he exuded an aura of dejection.
Dai Mubai leaned against the wall, his right hand hanging limply at his sides. Blood dripped from his fingertips, spreading in circles on the wooden floor and gradually forming a small, shocking red patch.
His eyes were vacant, as if he was still immersed in the scene of the crushing defeat he had just suffered.
Flander opened his mouth, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with a complex light.
He wanted to say something to boost morale, but his lips twitched a few times. In the end, he just patted Dai Mubai's shoulder hard, so hard that Dai Mubai's body swayed.
The usually eloquent dean was now at a loss for words to comfort his students.
Yu Xiaogang stood alone by the window, his gaze passing over the noisy stadium and looking towards the distant horizon.
His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
An indescribable bitterness welled up in my heart.
The theory of martial spirits that he devoted his life to researching has now lost its possibility of being put into practice due to Tang San's departure.
A theory without a brilliant executor is like a lock without a key; no matter how ingenious, no one can open it.
What pained him most was Bibi Dong's cold gaze.
Two people who once knew and cherished each other are now like strangers.
The way she looked down at him seemed to be mocking his lack of success.
This realization was like a dull knife, slowly eroding his self-esteem.
...
As dusk fell, the rest area of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was brightly lit, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.
The team members, some sitting and some standing, were discussing today's match.
Qin Ming pushed open the door and entered, holding a battle schedule in his hand, his expression serious.
"Our opponent for tomorrow has been decided." He looked around at everyone. "We will be playing against Thunder Academy."
The room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Yu Tianheng, who was standing by the window.
The heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family visibly stiffened for a moment before clenching his fist.
Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy is his cousin from the same clan. The two have been known as the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family since childhood.
"Captain," Yu Tianheng suddenly spoke, his voice low and firm, "I hope to have the opportunity to face Yu Tianxin one-on-one tomorrow."
Chu Xinghe stood up from the sofa and calmly looked at Yu Tianheng.
After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly: "Okay. I will arrange for others to stop the Thunder Academy team members and create a one-on-one opportunity for you."
Shi Mo looked at Yu Tianheng with concern: "Boss, are you sure you want to fight Yu Tianxin one-on-one?"
"I must prove myself." Yu Tianheng interrupted him, his eyes flashing with determination. "This is not only about the outcome of the competition, but also about my status in the family."
Chu Xinghe tapped lightly on the tactical map with his slender fingers, the crisp sound instantly silencing the previously noisy lounge.
His sharp gaze swept over each of his teammates, a confident smile playing on his lips.
"The starting lineup for tomorrow." His voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority. "Me, Tianheng, Rongrong, Zhuqing, Lingling, Shimo, Shimo."
Chu Xinghe's fingertips traced a clear path on the table, as if outlining the winning route for tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng immediately sat up straight, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Chu Xinghe and he exchanged a knowing glance, both understanding each other perfectly. This was to create an opportunity for Yu Tianheng to face off against his cousin, Yu Tianxin.
"Sister Yan Yan." Chu Xinghe turned to Dugu Yan, who was leaning against the corner, and his tone softened a bit. "You should rest first this time."
Dugu Yan immediately pouted, her bright green eyes widening: "Why? I finally got a chance to play!"
She crossed her arms angrily, but the slightly reddened tips of her ears betrayed her true feelings.
Chu Xinghe chuckled and walked to her side, whispering, "The Spirit Hall is our true adversary. I need you to be in top condition to face them."
The warm breath made Dugu Yan's ears turn even redder.
"Hmph!" She turned her face away, but couldn't help but smile. "You do have some taste."
"Yay! It's finally my turn!" Ning Rongrong jumped up from her seat excitedly, her pink skirt drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
She waved her little fist excitedly and said, "I'll show you what a real support-type Soul Master is like!"

The battle between the Blue Lightning twin stars
Chapter 167 The Battle of the Blue Lightning Twins
On the second day of the competition, the sun shone brightly in Wuhun City, and the seats around the central arena were already packed.
The members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and the Thunder Academy stood on either side, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
The audience was buzzing with discussion, speculating about the outcome of this clash of titans.
"The match begins!"
As the referee blew his whistle, both teams simultaneously released their martial spirits.
Chu Xinghe moved forward steadily, and five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—rose one after another from beneath his feet, instantly sweeping across the entire arena with powerful spirit energy fluctuations.
A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.
"Five spirit rings! This is a Soul King level expert!"
"My God, judging by his age, he can't be more than twenty years old, right?"
"Is this the trump card of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
In the VIP section, Bibi Dong leaned forward gracefully, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She parted her red lips slightly, her voice tinged with amusement: "This is the Chu Xinghe that even Salas fears?"
The Ghost Douluo standing behind her immediately bowed and replied, "Your Holiness, it is indeed this person. According to Bishop Salas, this young man has already joined Prince Xue Qinghe's service and is highly valued."
Bibi Dong tapped her fingertips lightly on the armrest, lost in thought.
She was naturally aware of Xue Qinghe's true identity, and she also knew that her daughter, Qian Renxue, had specifically warned Salas not to make a move on Chu Xinghe.
A young person who can be valued so highly by Qian Renxue certainly deserves her attention.
Inside the rest area of Xingluo Royal Academy, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun had solemn expressions.
Zhu Zhuyun stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing in the Heaven Dou team, her voice filled with disbelief: "How could she be in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team?"
Davis frowned, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of his chair: "I thought we were guaranteed second place in this competition, but I didn't expect that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would actually produce a Soul King-level student."
Zhu Zhuyun clenched her fists uneasily, her knuckles turning white: "With our current strength, I'm afraid it will be very, very difficult to win."
"No need to worry." Davis interrupted her, a confident glint in his eyes. "Our Spirit Fusion Technique is enough to rival an opponent at the Soul King level. As long as we coordinate properly, the outcome is still uncertain."
On the other side of the spectator stands, Dugu Bo was stroking his beard triumphantly, deliberately raising his voice to Ju Douluo not far away, saying, "Juhua Guan, open your eyes wide and take a good look, my grandson-in-law is going to open your eyes today!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face instantly turned ashen, but he dared not retaliate in front of the Pope. He could only let out a cold snort through gritted teeth: "Old Poisoner, the outcome is not yet decided. Don't be too happy. Be careful you don't lose face later."
On the arena, Chu Xinghe felt the gazes coming from all directions, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He turned to look at Yu Tianheng beside him, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.
On the Thunder Academy side, Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul swirled around her, her fighting spirit equally high.
"Tianheng," Chu Xinghe said in a low voice, "proceed with the plan we discussed last night. I will create opportunities for you, but remember not to force yourself."
Yu Tianheng nodded solemnly, his gaze fixed on Yu Tianxin opposite him: "I understand. This time I must prove that I am the true heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
The moment the game began, the two brothers, Stone Mill and Stone Graphite, quickly got to work.
They stood in positions on the left and right, and the heavy Xuanwu tortoise shell martial spirits appeared at the same time. The two huge tortoise shell phantoms intertwined in the air, forming an impenetrable defensive barrier.
This barrier firmly protected Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling in the center, ensuring that the two support-type Soul Masters could safely unleash their abilities.
"Nine treasures turn out to reveal glazed tiles!" Ning Rongrong's clear voice rang out, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda she held up with both hands radiated a dazzling seven-colored light.
Several beams of amplified light streaked across the battlefield like meteors, landing precisely on each teammate.
Chu Xinghe immediately felt his soul power surging, and his aura increased even more.
Chu Xinghe and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, and the two launched their attack simultaneously, as if by telepathy.
Chu Xinghe exerted force with his feet, and his whole body shot out like an arrow released from a bow. His right hand instantly transformed into a burning crimson dragon claw. "First Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon Claw!"
The blazing flames swept across in a fan shape, forcing the six members of Thunder Academy to retreat repeatedly.
At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing's figure moved across the battlefield like a ghost. The Netherworld Cat Martial Soul granted her amazing speed and agility. Every flash allowed her to accurately intercept opponents who wanted to provide support, creating a perfect output environment for Chu Xinghe.
In the center of the venue, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, two cousins, stood facing each other.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial souls on both of them emitted dazzling light at the same time, and the violent lightning power collided fiercely between them, filling the air with a suffocating and scorching atmosphere.
The audience held their breath, their eyes glued to the civil war within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!" Yu Tianheng launched the first attack.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunder God's Wrath!" Yu Tianxin responded without backing down.
Two figures crackling with blinding lightning collided violently, the intense light of which forced the audience to raise their hands to shield their eyes.
Each clash was accompanied by deafening thunder. The solid bluestone floor of the arena shattered continuously under the violent power of the lightning, and the flying fragments even bounced off the protective shield with a crisp sound.
"boom!"
After a final all-out battle, Yu Tianxin's right arm was charred black, and bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
He knelt on one knee, his chest heaving violently, yet he still stubbornly looked up at Yu Tianheng, his eyes filled with both resentment and a hint of relief.
Yu Tianheng was also covered in wounds, and the light of his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul had dimmed considerably, but he still stood upright with a firm gaze.
The outcome was clear at this moment.
"I concede." Yu Tianxin raised her right hand with a wry smile, her voice weak but relieved. "You won, Tianheng. It seems you have indeed worked harder than me all these years."
The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. This spectacular duel between the two giants, this civil war within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, is destined to become the most unforgettable classic moment of this tournament.
Yu Tianheng reached out and pulled Yu Tianxin up, saying in a deep voice, "Our battles are nothing but child's play in the face of true geniuses."
His gaze unconsciously drifted to the other side of the battlefield, where Chu Xinghe was effortlessly suppressing six opponents from Thunder Academy.
Yu Tianxin followed his gaze and saw Chu Xinghe wave his right hand, sending several small flames accurately hitting three Thunder Academy students, knocking them out of the arena at the same time.
His relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if he were not participating in a fierce competition, but rather putting on a performance.
Yu Tianxin nodded bitterly: "It seems that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family needs us brothers to work together, otherwise we will be left behind by such a genius sooner or later."
On the other side of the battlefield, Zhu Zhuqing's figure moved like a ghost among the Thunder Academy students.
Every move she made was perfectly timed. Her Nether Thrust precisely interrupted the opponent's soul skill charging, preventing the Thunder Academy team from organizing an effective counterattack.
Her calm and sharp fighting style made it impossible to tell that she had once been a member of Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong stood proudly behind the defensive line constructed of stone mills and graphite, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hands radiating an unprecedentedly brilliant light.
Each of the nine stories of the pagoda shimmers with a different color, making it even more dazzling than the original Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Amplifying beams landed on his teammates with precision, especially on Chu Xinghe, who received the most significant boost.
A confident smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she was very satisfied with the performance of her evolved martial soul.
Ye Lingling stood quietly at the edge of the battlefield, the Nine-Heart Begonia slowly rotating in her palm, emitting a gentle, healing light.
Although no teammates were injured at the moment, she remained highly vigilant and ready to provide treatment at any time.
That focused expression and calm eyes gave people a sense of security.
Three minutes later, as the last Thunder Academy student was knocked out of the arena by Chu Xinghe, the referee loudly announced: "Match over! Heaven Dou Royal Academy wins!"
A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.
The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy gathered in the center of the field. Chu Xinghe patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder: "Well done."
Yu Tianheng shook his head: "Compared to you, I am still far behind."
Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly to the side, not saying a word, but a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
Ning Rongrong excitedly waved the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda: "See that? Isn't my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda amazing!"
Ye Lingling had already begun treating the injured Yu Tianheng, her gentle light enveloping his wounds.

Wind and Fire Fusion Technique
Chapter 168 Wind and Fire Fusion Technique
The third round of the competition arrived as scheduled, with Tiandou Royal Academy and Shenfeng Academy facing off.
On the central arena, although the Shenfeng Academy has been reorganized and has been completely renewed, the team members still couldn't hide their fear when facing the Tiandou Royal Academy.
After all, Chu Xinghe was able to sweep the field with only his second team back then, and now he is leading the strongest lineup of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Chu Xinghe stood at the very front of the group, his white robes fluttering gently in the breeze, putting immense pressure on the Shenfeng Academy students.
Opposite them, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang stood side by side, their gazes fixed on the opponent who had once defeated them.
Huo Wu suddenly stepped forward, her fiery red hair moving without wind: "Chu Xinghe, today we must take back everything we lost!"
Her voice was clear and loud, causing an uproar in the audience. Could Shenfeng Academy really defeat the Soul King?
Chu Xinghe smiled faintly upon hearing this, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.
With his hands behind his back, he appeared as relaxed as if he were strolling in his own backyard, not at a competition.
Over the years, countless Soul Masters have fallen to him, but no one has ever been able to truly catch up with him, not even Tang San, who possesses twin Martial Souls.
As for Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu? In his eyes, they were nothing more than passersby.
"Brother Feng." Chu Xinghe suddenly turned to Feng Xiaotian, a playful smile on his lips, "It seems your relationship with Huo Wu has been progressing quite well lately?"
A blush immediately appeared on Feng Xiaotian's handsome face. He smiled awkwardly, but his eyes sparkled with undisguised joy.
This reaction undoubtedly confirmed Chu Xinghe's guess.
"You!" Huo Wu was furious at Chu Xinghe's disrespect, and flames surged around her.
Feng Xiaotian quickly grabbed her arm and whispered words of comfort, telling her not to act impulsively.
Although the other players on both sides remained silent, the tension in the air was palpable.
Just as tensions were rising, the cardinal, acting as referee, announced at the perfect moment: "The match begins!"
As soon as the referee gave the order, Feng Xiaotian flashed forward, his azure wings suddenly unfurling, and he stood firmly in front of Huo Wu.
The raging flames surrounding Huo Wu surged behind him, the crimson light illuminating his resolute profile and making his figure appear exceptionally tall and imposing.
"Everyone, maintain defensive formation!" Huo Wushuang shouted in a deep voice, his muscular body taking the lead in blocking the way.
The five members of Shenfeng Academy immediately changed their positions, with the offensive and defensive Soul Masters forming an impenetrable wall, firmly protecting Huo Wu and the two support Soul Masters in the center.
Two support-type Soul Masters dressed in red robes formed hand seals, their Soul Rings gleaming around them.
"Fire Spirit Amplification!" the two shouted in unison, their palms facing each other as a ball of pure fire elemental energy condensed.
The scorching energy slowly flowed into Huo Wu's body, causing the flames around her to surge.
Huo Wu's eyes were tightly closed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and the four spirit rings began to slowly merge.
"Merge Ring!" she shouted, and a blinding white light gradually condensed in her palm. The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to distort.
"Now!" Feng Xiaotian roared, his second spirit ring flashing, "Dual Wolf Possession!"
His body instantly swelled, and his wolf-like features became even more pronounced.
Immediately afterwards, the third spirit ring lit up, "Swift Wings!"
Its wings expanded again, reaching a wingspan of over five meters.
Huo Wu suddenly opened her eyes, and a burst of blazing white light shot out from her hand, accurately connecting with Feng Xiaotian.
"Wind and fire are mutually reinforcing, they merge!" she shouted.
The white light, infused with the power of two support Soul Masters, swirled around Feng Xiaotian, forming a dazzling energy cloak.
Feng Xiaotian felt the surging power within him, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
"Thirty-six consecutive slashes of the Gale Wolf!" he roared, swooping down with the fused energy.
Its dive was as fast as lightning, and the energy of wind and fire intertwined in the air left a dazzling trail of light.
The audience held their breath in unison, all of them able to feel the terrifying power contained in this attack.
Even Bibi Dong, who was in the VIP section, couldn't help but sit up straight, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
On the other side, within the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's camp.
"Nine treasures transform into crystal!"
Ning Rongrong's clear voice pierced the sky, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda bloomed with dazzling nine-colored light in her palm.
All four spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and each level of the tower shimmered with a different light.
With a light tap of her slender fingers, four amplified beams of light pierced the sky:
"First: Strength!"
The second rule: Speed!
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
Fourthly: Imperial!
The dazzling beam of light landed precisely on Chu Xinghe, and his body was immediately surrounded by a seven-colored halo.
Feeling the surging power within him, Chu Xinghe smiled confidently.
The phantom of his Martial Soul Tyrannosaurus Beast appeared and disappeared behind him, and his five Soul Rings pulsed in sequence.
"Third Soul Skill, Tyrannosaurus Fury!"
As the third purple soul ring shone brightly, crimson flames instantly surged three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in size, completely enveloping Chu Xinghe.
His figure appeared and disappeared amidst the flames, and his soul power fluctuations rose at a visible speed, breaking through to the Soul Emperor level in the blink of an eye.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Exploding Dragon Breath!"
The fourth jet-black, ten-thousand-year soul ring suddenly bloomed, and Chu Xinghe took a deep breath, his chest visibly expanding.
The next moment, a burst of golden-red scorching dragon breath erupted, distorting and exploding the air wherever it passed, and the heat wave melted cracks into the stone slabs on the arena surface.
In mid-air opposite, Feng Xiaotian's thirty-six consecutive slashes were ready to be unleashed.
With the support of the Fire Dance Fusion Ring Technique and two auxiliary Soul Masters, his wings were wrapped in incandescent flames, and thirty-six wind blades were layered on top of each other, swooping down with a devastating force.
Two terrifying energies collided violently in mid-air!
"boom--!!!"
The deafening explosion resounded throughout Wuhun City, and a white light, brighter than the sun, burst forth from the center of the collision.
The violent shockwave spread out in a ring, the protective shield around the arena trembled violently, and the audience in the front row were even thrown backward by the shockwave.
Feng Xiaotian's figure plummeted from mid-air, his right wing completely shattered, and his incandescent armor crumbled inch by inch.
He crashed heavily into the protective shield, then slid to the ground like a rag doll, leaving a long trail of blood on the ring.
"This is impossible..." Huo Wu's legs went weak, and her voice trembled uncontrollably. "She clearly had the Fusion Ring buff... and two support characters..."
She couldn't believe that Feng Xiaotian, who was empowered by the combined strength of four people, was defeated by Chu Xinghe in a single blow.
The other members of the Kamikaze Academy team also stood there, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their meticulously designed tactics and their proud fusion techniques were utterly ineffective against Chu Xinghe.

Tyrannosaurus Rex and Nether White Tiger
Chapter 169 Tyrannosaurus Rex Collision and the Netherworld White Tiger
In the VIP section, Bibi Dong's slender fingers gently tapped the armrest.
She suddenly chuckled softly: "Ghostly Charm, the data shows that Chu Xinghe's soul power should be level fifty-two?"
Ghost Douluo bowed in response, his voice filled with obvious confusion: "Your Holiness, that is indeed the case. But when he unleashed his full power just now, the soul power fluctuations I sensed were at least level 55, and even close to level 60."
A hint of amusement flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes, and she parted her red lips slightly: "It seems our intelligence needs an update."
Not far away, Dugu Bo stroked his beard smugly and deliberately raised his voice: "Chrysanthemum Pass, did you see that? Does my grandson-in-law's move meet your standards?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression was incredibly complex. He stared intently at Chu Xinghe on the arena, his eyes gleaming with disbelief: "This aura... it's Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower!"
He suddenly turned to Dugu Bo, his tone urgent, "Old Poison Master, how about we have him become my disciple? I will impart all the knowledge I have acquired in my life!"
"Pah!" Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively, his face full of disdain. "You think you're qualified to teach my grandson-in-law? Give me a break!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned pale and then red, but he couldn't refute it.
The magical herb he had been dreaming of was perfectly absorbed by a young man who was not even twenty years old, which made him both jealous and helpless.
On the arena, Shenfeng Academy, having lost Feng Xiaotian, suffered a crushing defeat.
Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Thrust precisely severed the connection of the enemy's support Soul Master, Yu Tianheng's Thunderous Fury swept across the battlefield, and the Black Tortoise Shell of the Shimo and Shimo brothers firmly protected their own formation.
Within just three minutes, the entire Kamikaze Academy team was eliminated.
"Match over! Heavenly Dou Royal Academy wins!" the referee announced loudly.
Huo Wu walked off the stage dejectedly, her once proud, fiery red hair now dull and lifeless.
She never expected that even after joining forces with Shenfeng Academy and using her trump card, the Fusion Ring Technique, she wouldn't even be able to force Chu Xinghe to use his fifth soul skill.
"Why is there such a big gap?" she murmured to herself, her face full of confusion. "We clearly gave it our all."
Feng Xiaotian walked with difficulty to her side, wanting to comfort her but not knowing where to begin.
The two looked at each other in silence, both seeing a deep sense of defeat in each other's eyes.
In the VIP section, Bibi Dong slowly stood up, glanced meaningfully at Chu Xinghe in the center of the arena, and turned to leave.
Behind her, Ghost Douluo seemed to be deep in thought, and couldn't help but think to himself, "If this child is not eliminated, he will surely become a great threat in the future. I must speak to His Holiness the Pope as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe was surrounded by his excited teammates.
Ning Rongrong jumped around showing off her amplification effect, while Zhu Zhuqing stood aside, a rare smile appearing in her usually cold and aloof eyes.
...
On the fourth day of the competition, the area around the central arena in Wuhun City was bustling with noise.
When the host announced that the Tian Dou Royal Team would face off against the Xing Luo Royal Team, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
The audience was buzzing with discussion, speculating about the outcome of this clash of titans.
Dugu Yan strode to Chu Xinghe's side, her emerald eyes flashing with fighting spirit: "Xinghe, let me go on stage."
Chu Xinghe turned around and shook his head firmly: "No, Sister Yan Yan. Although the Xingluo Team is strong, it's not worth letting you go on stage and expose your strength."
"But their Martial Soul Fusion Technique is difficult for you to deal with alone." Dugu Yan stamped her foot anxiously, her small fists clenched tightly.
Chu Xinghe reached out and gently stroked her hair, his tone gentle yet unwavering: "Trust me, we can handle this. Save your poison skills for the Spirit Hall team; they are our true opponents."
Dugu Yan wanted to argue, but Ye Lingling gently pulled her back: "Sister Yan, Xinghe is right. We need to save our trump cards for the finals."
Ning Rongrong also came over, blinking her big eyes and saying, "That's right, that's right! With the amplification of my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, plus Xinghe-ge's strength, there's definitely no problem!"
Looking at the determined eyes of everyone, Dugu Yan finally sighed reluctantly, "Alright. But you must be careful, the Netherworld White Tiger is no joke."
Chu Xinghe smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
He turned to the other team members, "Graphite and Stone Mill, you are responsible for building the defense; Tianheng is the main attacker; Zhuqing is responsible for containing the enemy; Rongrong and Lingling, pay attention to your positioning."
The team members responded in unison, their fighting spirit high as they marched toward the ring.
Dugu Yan stood there, watching Chu Xinghe's retreating figure, feeling both worried and proud.
She knew that this man would never let her down.
...
On the competition stage, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's faces were so gloomy they could drip water.
They looked around at the boisterous audience, then at the composed Chu Xinghe opposite them, and finally realized that they were nothing more than pawns used by the Spirit Hall to test the opponent's strength.
This realization ignited a fierce rage in the hearts of the two proud members of the Star Luo royal family.
"Looks like we've been used as pawns." Davis spat out the words through clenched teeth, his handsome face contorted with rage.
His level 47 soul power surged within him, yet for the first time, he felt utterly powerless.
Zhu Zhuyun sneered, unleashing her level 46 soul power fluctuations without any concealment: "Since that's the case, then let them see the true strength of the Star Luo Royal Family! We are not puppets to be manipulated."
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their soul power in perfect unison.
The white tiger phantom on Davis roared to the sky, while Zhu Zhuyun's Netherworld Cat let out a sharp hiss.
A dazzling white light burst forth from their bodies as their two soul energies merged perfectly.
With a deafening roar, the Netherworld White Tiger, seven or eight meters long, proudly appeared.
The giant beast's black and white fur shimmered with a dark light, its sharp claws and teeth flashed with a cold glint, and its terrifying aura made the entire arena tremble.
"Nine Treasures have names!" Ning Rongrong's clear voice rang out at the right time, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand radiated dazzling nine-colored light. "First is strength, second is speed, third is soul, and fourth is control!"
Four amplifying beams struck Chu Xinghe with precision, like shooting stars, instantly boosting his aura.
Chu Xinghe felt the surging power within him, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
He stepped forward with his right foot, and the deep black light of his fifth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly: "Fifth Spirit Skill, Tyrannosaurus Charge!"
In an instant, his body began to undergo an astonishing transformation.
Crimson scales emerged from beneath the panel, bones crackled crisply, and the entire being briefly transformed into a ten-meter-tall Tyrannosaurus Beast.
Although it didn't reach the complete Martial Soul True Body of the Soul Saint level, this brief beast-like state had already made the entire audience gasp.
"roar!"
With a deafening dragon roar, Chu Xinghe in his Tyrannosaurus form suddenly launched a charge.
His every step cracked the arena floor, and the air exploded wherever he went, creating visible shockwaves.
The power of this attack was so great that even a defensive Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level would find it difficult to withstand.
The Netherworld White Tiger was not to be outdone, and roared as it charged forward.
The moment the two collided with a deafening roar in the center of the arena, the blinding light caused everyone to involuntarily close their eyes.
"boom--!"
Amidst a deafening roar, the massive body of the Netherworld White Tiger began to shatter inch by inch.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were forced to separate, both coughing up blood as they flew backward and crashed heavily onto the edge of the ring.
The entire stadium fell silent; even the referee forgot to announce the result of the match.
In the VIP section, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, and her slender fingers unconsciously tapped the armrest.
She clearly saw that although Chu Xinghe's attack was short-lived, it did indeed contain the essence of the Martial Soul True Body.
Such strength would place him among the top of the younger generation in the Spirit Hall.
"Interesting." She murmured to herself, a meaningful smile curving her red lips. "It seems Salas was right; this boy does indeed deserve special attention."
On the other side of the arena, the other members of the Star Luo team were completely stunned.
Their prized Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the Star Luo Royal Family's greatest trump card, was utterly crushed in a single blow! This fact left their minds blank.
After a long while, the referee, as if waking from a dream, loudly announced: "The game continues!"

Spirit Hall pre-match meeting
Chapter 170 Spirit Hall Pre-Match Meeting
Smoke and dust filled the central arena.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were backfired by the Netherworld White Tiger's collapse. They staggered to their feet, their eyes filled with shock and resentment.
They never expected that the Star Luo Empire's proud Martial Soul Fusion Technique would be shattered by Chu Xinghe in a single blow!
"Impossible... How could he have broken the Netherworld White Tiger all by himself?!" Zhu Zhuyun gritted his teeth and roared, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Never mind that, deal with him first!" Davis roared, his soul power surged, and his fourth soul ring suddenly lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Starfall!"
In an instant, countless dazzling silver meteors gathered behind Davis, hurtling towards Chu Xinghe with a sharp whooshing sound!
Zhu Zhuyun also launched a killing move without hesitation. Her fourth soul ring shone, and her hands transformed into sharp Netherworld claws, slashing out fiercely.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Netherworld Moon-Shattering Slash!"
Two terrifying soul skills intertwined, forming a devastating energy storm that hurtled straight towards Chu Xinghe!
In the audience, countless people held their breath.
"How should Chu Xinghe respond?"
"This is the full-force attack of the Star Luo Team!"
However, faced with the overwhelming offensive, Chu Xinghe merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"Exploding Dragon Breath!"
His fourth spirit ring suddenly bloomed, and blazing flames condensed in his mouth, then transformed into a violent torrent of flames that erupted with a roar!
"boom--!!!"
Wherever the dragon's breath passed, the White Tiger Stars were instantly vaporized, the Netherworld Slash was engulfed by the flames, and the explosive flames, with their residual power, slammed into Davis and Zhu Zhuyun!
"Pfft—!" Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time, flying backward like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena, completely losing their fighting ability.
The remaining members of the Star Luo team turned pale and before they could react, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy pounced on them like tigers.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
In just a few seconds, the entire Star Luo team was routed!
The referee announced loudly, "The match is over! Heaven Dou Royal Academy wins!"
The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers!
Chu Xinghe stood in the center of the arena, his cold gaze sweeping over the fallen Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, and said indifferently, "The pride of the Xingluo royal family is nothing more than this."
In the VIP section, Bibi Dong's fingers tightened slightly as she held the scepter, a hint of surprise flashing in her deep eyes.
"To defeat the Netherworld White Tiger head-on... this Chu Xinghe's strength is probably already comparable to a Soul Emperor." She murmured to herself, her tone tinged with seriousness.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, standing to the side, widened his eyes and couldn't help but click his tongue: "How old is this kid? Fifteen? Sixteen? If he's given a few more years..."
As he spoke, he suddenly caught sight of Dugu Bo's smug smile in the opposite seat, and immediately felt a surge of jealousy. "What incredible luck that old poisoner has to have such a grandson-in-law!"
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "The Heaven Dou Royal Team is now qualified to be considered a favorite to win the championship alongside our Spirit Hall Team."
In the VIP box on the other side, Ning Fengzhi paused slightly in his teacup, his eyes gleaming.
"Uncle Jian, it seems we underestimated this young man." He whispered to Chen Xin beside him, "His fifth soul skill can achieve this level of power. If we give him a suitable soul bone..."
Holding his longsword, Chen Xin rarely showed a smile: "Feng Zhi, it seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs to increase its recruitment efforts."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, his gaze profound: "Such a genius must not fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall."
...
On the arena, Chu Xinghe put away his spirit rings, his expression calm.
The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team rushed up excitedly, and Dugu Yan was the first to throw herself into his arms: "So cool! Did you see the expressions on the faces of those people from the Star Luo Empire?"
Chu Xinghe smiled and ruffled her hair, but his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the VIP seats.
Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Ju Douluo...
A variety of gazes, some scrutinizing, some admiring, and some wary, were focused on him.
...
In the post-match lounge, Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly at the corner of the corridor, watching Chu Xinghe walk towards her alone.
An unusual light flickered in her eyes, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
"Star River…" she called softly, her voice softer than ever before.
Chu Xinghe stopped and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, suddenly stepped forward, and grabbed his sleeves tightly with both hands: "You were amazing just now."
Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with admiration. "I've never seen anyone so utterly crush the Star Luo Royal Family."
Chu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly: "What, have you been conquered by my strength?"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't refute, but instead nodded seriously: "Mm."
She looked up, her clear, cool eyes now brimming with starlight. "I...I will become stronger in the future, so that I am worthy to stand by your side."
Chu Xinghe felt a surge of warmth in his heart and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Silly girl, you're already very outstanding."
Zhu Zhuqing felt the warmth coming from above her head, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
At that moment, she was absolutely certain.
Choosing to follow this man was the best decision I ever made in my life.
...
Nighttime, the council chamber of the Papal Palace
Golden candlelight flickered in the Papal Palace, casting a solemn and oppressive atmosphere over the council chamber.
Bibi Dong sat on her high seat, her scepter lightly tapping the ground with a crisp sound.
Her gaze slowly swept over the seven members of the Spirit Hall team below: Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan, and the other four elites. Each of them stood ramrod straight with a solemn expression.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei sat on either side of her, one with a playful smile on his face, and the other as silent as a shadow.
"You should all have seen the matches of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Bibi Dong's voice was unhurried, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Chu Xinghe has already possessed the combat power of a Soul Emperor."
Xie Yue frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure. Hu Liena pursed her lips, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. Yan snorted coldly, his fists clenching unconsciously.
"If you encounter them," Bibi Dong continued, "you must concentrate all your forces and prioritize defeating Chu Xinghe. Otherwise, your chances of victory are slim."
Ghost Douluo Ghostly suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse like a night owl: "If we fail, not only will the soul bone reward be canceled, but everyone will be punished by being sent to the Lost Canyon for three years of training."
The seven men's expressions changed drastically.
The Lost Canyon is a place where the Spirit Hall exiles serious criminals. The spirit beasts are ferocious and the miasma is pervasive. Even if a Spirit King enters, he will have a very low chance of survival.
Cold sweat beaded on Yan's forehead, Xie Yue's eyes sharpened, while Hu Liena took a deep breath and said firmly, "Your Holiness, we will never let you down."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly and waved for them to leave.
The seven people bowed and turned to leave, their footsteps echoing in the empty hall until they disappeared.
Only three people remained in the council chamber.
"Is Your Majesty being too cautious?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan chuckled. "Even if Chu Xinghe is strong, he is only a Soul King. Our Spirit Hall's Golden Generation are all the best among Soul Kings."
Ghost Douluo gave a sinister smile: "If you're really worried, why don't you let me handle him? Even with Bilin Douluo protecting him, I'm 80% confident I can make him disappear without a trace."
"Foolish." Bibi Dong interrupted coldly, her scepter slamming down so hard that the entire hall seemed to tremble for a moment.
She stood up, her gaze as cold as a blade: "If any contestant dies in Spirit City during the competition, how will the world view the Spirit Hall? Have you all forgotten the teachings of the former Pope? Do not underestimate your opponents, and do not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."
The ghost lowered its head and remained silent, and Yue Guan's smile also faded somewhat.
Bibi Dong slowly walked down the steps, her long robe trailing on the ground, her voice low and deep: "Chu Xinghe must lose, but he must lose on the field."
After the two titled Douluo left, Bibi Dong sat back on her high seat, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, her eyes swirling with thoughts.
"Chu Xinghe." She murmured the name, the image of him defeating the Netherworld White Tiger flashing through her mind.
With such strength and talent, if they cannot be used by the Spirit Hall, they will surely become a great threat in the future.
She closed her eyes, weighing various options.
Finally, she opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them.
"Someone come here," she called softly.
From the shadows, a figure quietly emerged, kneeling on one knee.
"Investigate everything about Chu Xinghe, his weaknesses, his past, and his relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The more detailed the better."
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
The figure vanished silently, leaving Bibi Dong alone in the flickering candlelight of the hall, gazing into the void as if contemplating an unknown future.
