Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

After a soft sigh.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze shifted from Long Xiaoyao on the stage to the Shrek Academy team members in the rest area.

Although he was no longer serving as the dean of the Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, he naturally knew the specific information about Tang San, who had recently enrolled in the Inner Academy.

Tang San even became one of the regular members of the Shrek Academy team, but now this guy has appeared in the Holy Spirit Sect's rest area, and his name has changed to Tang Yin.

Although this little guy's soul power level is not very high, his combat talent is still remarkable. In fact, his martial soul is the same as that of the sea god from ten thousand years ago, both being the twin martial souls of Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer.

He is definitely a promising talent for cultivation.

Perhaps the path to godhood from ten thousand years ago can be recreated.

As it turned out, the opponent was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult during the competition. The Holy Spirit Cult even claimed that Tang Yin, who possessed the Eight Spider Lances, had the potential to become a Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Where can I seek justice?

Is it a mistake to expect the Holy Spirit Cult's evil spirit masters to play the competition properly?
Although Long Xiaoyao also said that after this Soul Master Competition ends, Tang Yin will decide for himself whether to stay or leave.

But this is an open conspiracy.

Once you're a demonic spirit master, you're a demonic spirit master for life; once you're stained, you can't wash it off.

Not to mention, Tang Yin had previously used the Eight Spider Lances to devour the life force and soul power of evil soul masters for cultivation.

Are evil spirit masters' lives not important? Scorpion Tiger Douluo said this guy should join his Holy Spirit Cult.

Tang Yin made a terrible mistake, following the same path Tang San took ten thousand years ago!

However, Tang San from ten thousand years ago possessed the Killing Domain and even the Asura Inheritance, which could prevent him from falling into evil ways, but Tang Yin today does not have this ability or opportunity.

Let's draw a parallel with Tang Ya, who also possesses the attribute of devouring.

She remained true to herself, using only the Blue Silver Grass from nature for cultivation, and never considered indiscriminately killing innocent people, even with the help of evil spirit masters.

The difference is obvious!
It seems that Tang Yin's tragedy is related to Elder Xuan again, but Yan Shaozhe, who knows the inside story, understands that it is unreasonable to blame Elder Xuan entirely.

While it's true that Elder Xuan made a mistake in letting Tang Yin grow up unsupervised, doesn't Tang Yin himself have any problems at all?

Who initiated the attack on the evil spirit master? Shouldn't the Clear Sky Sect's "happy education" system be held responsible for this?
Everyone has witnessed Master Xuan's abilities.

Moreover, he had shown great kindness to Tang Yin and even considered taking him as his disciple, so why would he deliberately harm him?
Not to mention that Elder Xuan also helped Tang Yin obtain the invaluable external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

He usually appears slovenly and unkempt, but experience counts, and when it comes to crucial matters, Master Xuan is absolutely shrewd.

Although Tang Yin was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult, he is still alive and kicking, and even seems to have gained quite a bit of benefit.

On the other hand, Elder Xuan was seriously injured while rescuing Tang Yin, and he is still lying in bed despite being a Super Douluo.

He even kept mentioning Tang Yin, who had gone astray.

This reveals the regret in Elder Xuan's heart and his affection for Tang Yin.

These are all shadows left by the previous Star Dou Great Forest incident!

The Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul is meant to eat constantly, and Elder Xuan didn't do it on purpose, so why would Yan Shaozhe blame him for it?
Shrek cannot do without Elder Xuan.

But we can do without Tang Yin, even if this guy is the next Tang San.

In terms of talent and strength alone, can Tang Yin compare to Huo Yuhao?

It's not even as good as Beibei's Holy Dragon of Light.

With these people in Shrek Academy now, it's a golden generation!
Some might argue that the Spirit Pagoda developed too quickly and dominated its cooperation with Shrek Academy, which is detrimental to Shrek Academy's development.

But it is not important.

Perhaps Shrek Academy would be better off relying on the Spirit Pagoda?

Elder Mu has already passed on the position of Sea God Pavilion Master to Yuhao, and even if Yuhao changes the Sea God Pavilion to Dragon God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe has no objection.

he knows.

Perhaps they were too obsessed with the so-called honor of being the number one academy on the continent, and were blinded by this illusory honor, which eventually turned into arrogance and prejudice.

But with Huo Yuhao's sudden emergence, everyone has become more cautious and humble.

Ultimately, Shrek Academy is just an academy.

In the current wave of the Soul Spirit system, Shrek Academy is already very lucky to have partnered with the Spirit Tower.

Despite Shrek Academy's slim chances of winning the Soul Master Tournament, Yan Shaozhe didn't feel anything special.

On the contrary, their main purpose in participating in the Soul Master Competition this time is to spread the spirit and to bring the Spirit Pagoda into the public eye.

Of course, we also have to be wary of the Sun Moon Empire's Holy Spirit Cult's underhanded tactics.

This is why Shrek Academy had Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan lead the team.

Unfortunately, Elder Xuan won't be able to come anytime soon.

Although he had great faith in the ferocious beasts at the Spirit Pagoda, Yan Shaozhe still requested support from Shrek Academy as a precaution.

"Hope everything goes well."

Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly and murmured softly.

If possible, he also didn't want the things Huo Yuhao "predicted" to happen, with the Sun Moon Empire directly breaking ties with the Douluo Three Kingdoms at the Soul Master Competition.

As for the Holy Spirit Cult, which used the alias Holy Spirit Sect to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

If you want to win the final championship, you'll have to get past Shrek first!
"...The Continental Elite Youth Advanced Soul Master Tournament is now beginning."

After a brief opening, Xu Tianran concluded his speech.

The host began reading out the competition rules, which were exactly the same as the rules that each team had received in advance.

After the competition rules were read aloud, an elderly man walked to the megaphone in front of the podium and announced loudly:
"The first match of the preliminary elimination round begins, with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy facing off against Dragon Slayer Sect. Each side sends seven members to the waiting area to prepare."

The waiting area is located in front of the VIP lounge, with seven chairs placed between the two teams, spaced twenty meters apart.

According to the rules of previous competitions, the first match should have been played by the previous champion. However, Shrek Academy had a bye in the first round, so the previous runner-up, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, was chosen to play instead.

With the added advantage of being the home team, the atmosphere at the venue immediately became lively.

However, the unfortunate one who was used as a stepping stone clearly lacked self-awareness.

Sects hold a strong hierarchy of contempt for academies, and they have a strange confidence in the disciples they have nurtured throughout their lives.

The Dragon Slayer Sect is a traditional Soul Master sect from the Douling Empire, with a history spanning thousands of years. They have always held a deep-rooted aversion to Soul Tools.

Coming from deep in the mountains, they clearly looked down on the Sun Moon Academy, which mainly relied on soul tools.

Because the Dragon Slayer Sect had absolutely no research or understanding of the Sun and Moon Team.

They felt that drawing the previous runner-up might seem like bad luck, but having a Soul Master as an opponent didn't necessarily mean they would lose!

The first player to appear for the Sun and Moon team was Meng Hongchen.

Although she was only a six-ring Soul Emperor, her strength was much greater than at the same time in the original story, and her poison was almost incurable for ordinary Soul Emperors.

Now the Dragon Slayer Clan team is about to start enjoying themselves.

The game starts soon.

The Dragon Slayer Sect sent a Soul King with two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Rings, whose optimal Soul Ring ratio attracted everyone's attention.

In previous competitions, Soul Kings have become the mainstay, while Soul Emperors are extremely rare.

The Dragon Slaying Sect, a sect with little reputation, was able to send out a five-ring Soul King right from the start, demonstrating the sect's formidable strength. Facing Meng Hongchen, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect remained calm.

How can a student from a Soul Master Academy compare to someone who has been carefully nurtured by a sect since childhood?

All the sweat and effort I put in, though gained at the cost of my freedom, has resulted in immense strength!

The rules of the competition are the same as usual: before the start of the competition, both sides must stand 100 meters apart at one end of the platform.

Meng Hongchen did not rush forward. With her flowing silver hair, she did not use any soul tools and simply walked forward as if taking a leisurely stroll.

A halo of ice-blue light slowly spread outwards from beneath her feet, followed by the rise of six spirit rings: one yellow, three purple, and two black.

Everyone present turned pale with fright.

The previously noisy stands fell completely silent in an instant.

It's the second ring of the millennium!!
Those who knew Meng Hongchen's original soul ring configuration exclaimed in surprise, "How did the original yellow second ring turn into purple? What's going on?!"

A deafening roar of cheers followed.

The young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect was drenched in sweat.

What bad luck, how did I end up running into the Soul Emperor?
But he has no intention of admitting defeat.

The individual elimination tournament uses a champion defense system. As long as you can force out your opponent's soul skills and deplete their soul power, your teammates will have the opportunity to win the final victory through a series of battles!

This is the bond that binds them, the Dragon Slayer Sect!

A deep roar came from the young man of the Dragon Slaying Sect. As his first and fifth spirit rings flashed one after another, he used all his strength.

His short, stocky body suddenly swelled up, his muscles bursting through his shirt to reveal a body that looked like it had been cast in bronze and iron.

Desperate, he immediately began to struggle!

With a smile on her lips, Meng Hongchen gently blew a breath, and her first and third soul rings suddenly lit up.

The poison of the ice toad, the refraction of ice.

A smooth, mirror-like ice surface stretched out and spread rapidly in all directions, soon reaching the opponent's feet.

Just as the intense chill touched the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect, he, on whom the sect had placed high hopes, let out a muffled groan and then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

A clean and decisive instant kill!

Moreover, because of the smooth ice surface under his feet, the Dragon Slayer Sect member kept sliding outwards due to the inertia of his forward momentum.

Finally, with a thud, it crashed into the soul-guided shield at the edge of the arena.

The atmosphere reached its climax in an instant—

"Dream of the mortal world! Dream of the mortal world!"

The audience was releasing their excitement!
No one expected that Meng Hongchen, a Soul Emperor, not only had an outrageous Soul Ring configuration, but also such exaggerated strength.

With six rings against five, victory was a foregone conclusion.

However, Meng Hongchen won so easily.

It's like crushing an ant!
Then, it was just an ordinary victory of one against seven.

No one in the Dragon Slaying Sect could withstand even a minute of Meng Hongchen's ice poison.

Even during the battle, Meng Hongchen, who had spared no energy, thoughtfully provided antidotes to her opponents after each one was eliminated.

Detoxification is necessary to prevent death.

But this is blatant arrogance.

There are still team matches to come.

If we detoxify the opponent now, they can recover and continue playing team matches, right?
Some viewers wanted to raise their voices in protest...

However, it was this domineering one-versus-seven victory.

That made those who had questioned him kneel down on the spot.

Ahhh, she truly lives up to her title as the Goddess of the Mortal World!!

The audience was thrilled!

I vaguely remember the last time I saw such a crushing defeat was in the previous Soul Master Competition, when Huo Yuhao represented Shrek Academy.

And now, their Sun Moon Empire has finally produced such a master!
He truly deserves to be called a genius that appears only once in a thousand years in the empire!

The cheers resounded throughout the world and have lasted for a long time.

In the Sun Moon Empire, Meng Hongchen will never lack fans, because she is not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely beautiful!
She's even a national goddess!

Thus, Sun Moon Academy became the first team to advance from the first round of this competition, and without going through the team competition, they scored seven points in the individual elimination round.

By eliminating opponents directly in the individual elimination rounds, the team's points are also considered earned according to the competition rules, resulting in a final score of twelve points.

After watching the match, the Shrek academy students in the audience fell silent.

How could this be so sneaky!

This time, there's no Extreme Ice as a teammate.

Xu Sanshi secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao and the others in the Spirit Pagoda's rest area, then whispered to Bei Bei beside him:
"If you ask me, we shouldn't have searched for suitable soul spirits for the Hongchen siblings so quickly. This guy is so strong now, who do you think we should send to fight him?"

"Who else could it be?"

Beibei chuckled and said, "Then it can only be me."

Thunder is the nemesis of toxins.

Furthermore, his soul power level has already reached the Soul Saint level. If he is not confident of winning, then he shouldn't be competing.

Xu Sanshi thought for a moment and nodded, "It can only be you. Although the Hongchen siblings have been studying with us these past few years, they have definitely not fallen behind in the field of soul tools."

"I won't go into detail about Xiao Hongchen, who has fought with us quite a bit. But Meng Hongchen needs to be careful about more than just poison. Last time I saw Yuhao, it seemed like he specially crafted a soul-guided sword for her, which looked similar to Lao Ji's."

Beibei shook her head helplessly: "Although this adds a bit of difficulty for us, Yuhao must have his reasons for doing this."

"Don't worry, this tournament format is individual battles first, then team battles, which is very advantageous for us. Even with Xiao Hongchen added, our win rate is still over 80%. Just remember not to let the opponent achieve their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in team battles."

Surely it's not like someone like Xiao Hongchen has also broken through to the Soul Saint realm?
He himself had a Dragon Pill-level opportunity, while Xiao Hongchen had nothing; the other party hadn't even fully completed his Soul Contract.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

So, the advantage is mine!

……

The first day ended with a total of twenty-seven matches played.

While no one like Meng Hongchen managed to defeat seven opponents in a row, the sheer volume of content still provided plenty of entertainment for the audience.

The first round of the competition is a single-elimination match, and the loser is eliminated directly, which means that 27 teams were eliminated in the first round today.

The first round of the competition lasted for four days. Of the nearly two hundred participating teams, half will be eliminated, but most will stay as spectators to cheer on their favorite teams.

Shrek received a bye in the first round.

The Spirit Pagoda competition will take place on the second day... (End of Chapter)
