Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 563 Let Shrek Raise the French Flag! (8.2k)
The Tang Sect had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Body Sect to jointly deal with the Spirit Pagoda.

Therefore, when Enci approached Long Yeyue hoping that she could represent the Body Sect in the Soul Battle of the Five Gods, Long Yeyue agreed without much hesitation.

Since the Tang Sect is already planning to get involved, what difference does it make if Shrek Academy joins in?

Of course, the most important factor is the method of creating the Soul Armor, which is so crucial that even Shrek Academy, which has always prided itself on fairness and neutrality, has begun to become less neutral.

Once you defeat the Ancient Phoenix Feather in the Soul Spirit Battle, the method for crafting the Soul Armor will be readily available.

After all, they can lose four times, but the Eternal Phoenix Feather cannot afford to lose even once.

"Please prepare, Pavilion Master Long and Tower Master Qian Gu. You may release your soul spirit in ten seconds."

As soon as the commentary ended, the entire venue fell silent.

When the commentator announced the participants in this battle of the five gods, it was a surprise to the general public.

Although Shrek Academy is far away in the Sun Moon Federation, its reputation as a sacred place in the hearts of Soul Masters for 20,000 years is still well-known to them.

The showdown between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda is a highly anticipated match.

Enci, sitting upright on the platform, stared intently at Long Yeyue. His martial soul was the Holy Dragon of Light, the same as Long Yeyue's second martial soul.

Although Enci was also a demigod, he had expended a lot of his life force to develop his three-word battle armor into a four-word battle armor.

Enci could sense that his chances of breaking through to the quasi-god level were slim, so he wanted to find inspiration in Long Yeyue, which might give him a chance to break through.

Long Yeyue is, after all, from the legendary Shrek Academy!
The countdown has begun, and Qian Gu Huang Yu's red eyes have brightened accordingly.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, ... three, two, one!"

As the countdown ended, both of them were almost simultaneously illuminated by dazzling light, and each of them had a spirit ring rise up.

Starting from her feet, Long Yeyue had a total of eighteen spirit rings, eleven black and seven red!

At this moment, almost the entire audience held their breath, astonished by Long Yeyue's terrifying soul ring ratio and her twin martial souls.

"Twin martial souls, no wonder they can participate in the Soul Battle of the Five Gods' Showdown!" one spectator exclaimed.

In the battle of spirits, twin spirits naturally have an advantage because they have more spirits!
When the audience turned their attention to the Eternal Phoenix Feather, they were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out.

The soul rings of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather can only be described as terrifying. The first three were jet-black ten-thousand-year soul rings, followed by four orange soul rings, and then silver-gold and pure gold soul rings!
Long Yeyue was startled when she saw the spirit rings on Qian Gu Huang Yu's body, especially when she saw that Qian Gu Huang Yu's fourth spirit ring was an orange spirit ring.

As the deputy head of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion, Long Yeyue naturally had a deep understanding of Soul Masters, and she certainly understood what an orange Soul Ring meant.

That's a spirit ring from a ferocious beast that's two hundred thousand years old!

Moreover, a soul spirit that is 100,000 years old cannot be improved later in life; the only time it can be fused is with a soul spirit that is 100,000 years old.

Not to mention orange souls that are 200,000 years old?
However, Long Yeyue clearly remembered that during the Mingdu Tournament five years ago, Qian Gu Huang Yu's fourth and fifth spirit rings were both black!
[Does the Spirit Pagoda possess the ability to upgrade ten-thousand-year-old spirits to orange-level spirits?]

The moment this thought crossed Long Yeyue's mind, she was filled with fear. Their old neighbor had become far too powerful without her even realizing it.

If every Limit Douluo in the Spirit Pagoda has nine orange spirit rings in the future, then Shrek Academy can just raise the French flag.

However, when Long Yeyue discovered that although the fourth and fifth spirit rings of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather were all orange spirit rings, the gold patterns on them were different.

Long Yeyue's heart was already overwhelmed with astonishment. [Two orange-tier spirits?]

Long Yeyue couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. She, the vice master of the Sea God Pavilion and a peerless Douluo, didn't even have an orange-level soul spirit.

But Qian Gu Huang Yu, a junior, actually has two!
Dai Lingxun and Enci were equally surprised by the spirit rings on Qian Gu Huang Yu. When they saw the orange and gold spirit rings on Qian Gu Huang Yu, they were both astonished.

"Two ferocious beast spirits?" Enci frowned slightly. Two ferocious beast spirits and two golden spirit rings of different colors. This match is probably in jeopardy.

Yue Hongchen pondered to herself, "My junior sister has four orange spirit rings, which must provide a terrifying boost to her power. No wonder she's confident in dealing with a Limit Douluo."

Of course, what caught the attention of powerhouses like Long Yeyue and Enci the most were the last two golden soul rings of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

Simply put, silver-gold and pure gold are just too special.

As is well known, the basic colors of spirit rings are white for ten years, yellow for one hundred years, purple for one thousand years, black for ten thousand years, and red for one hundred thousand years.

Besides these, there should be orange-gold and the legendary gold.

Orange-gold is a color that only ferocious beasts with over 200,000 years of cultivation can bestow upon Soul Masters, while the legendary gold is a color that only legendary million-year-old Soul Spirits possess.

Orange-gold spirit rings can still be seen occasionally over the past ten thousand years, while golden spirit rings are said to have only appeared once on the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

It seems that Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Clan, also possessed it, but it's not entirely certain.

But none of this can be measured, because it happens so rarely that we can only see some records of it in history.

However, the silver-gold and pure gold soul rings that have appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's body are colors that have never been seen before.

For tens of thousands of years, it has never appeared on any Soul Master.

A silver spirit ring is fine, but once it turns gold, it proves that the spirit ring is inherently noble.

What terrifying level of cultivation is required to possess two golden soul rings simultaneously?
Dai Lingxun's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly; she felt that she had greatly underestimated the power of the Spirit Pagoda.

Standing under the spotlight, Qian Gu Huang Yu basked in the admiration and astonishment of the audience, like an empress surrounded by thousands.

She gently raised her hand, and a silver light instantly flew out, transforming into a man with long silver hair.

His eyes were large and beautiful, one a mysterious silver and the other a noble gold.

It is none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler!

Having undergone the baptism of abyssal energy, the Evil Eye Tyrant has now evolved, with his tentacles increasing from eighty-one to ninety-nine.

However, perhaps influenced by the mountain dragon Taikun, the Evil Eye Tyrant now prefers to appear in human form.

The entire stadium fell silent. Even the youngest children knew that the human form symbolized a ferocious beast, and that the Ancient Tower Master's attack would unleash the soul of a ferocious beast!
Looking at the Evil Eye Tyrant, who stood alone in the middle of the arena as if he were the core of his own world, Long Yeyue couldn't help but frown.

[It's not the Mountain Dragon and the Thunderous Hell Vine?]

Long Yeyue had naturally seen Qian Gu Huang Yu's performance in the Soul Master Competition back then. Normally, Soul Masters would use their first Soul Spirit to lead the charge at the start of the Soul Spirit Battle.

Unexpectedly, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather released at least a third soul spirit right from the start.

This completely disrupted Long Yeyue's prepared tactics. She only had three 100,000-year-old soul spirits, one Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul and two Light Holy Dragon Martial Souls, but she was facing at least two orange soul spirits, which put her at a disadvantage.

Without much hesitation, Long Yeyue raised her hand as well, and a golden light flew out swiftly.

The golden light dissipated and transformed into a pure white celestial horse, but with a pair of white dragon wings growing from its back. Upon closer inspection, the horse's body was also covered with fine white dragon scales.

Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse, one of the 100,000-year-old soul spirits of the Dragon Night Moonlight Holy Dragon Martial Soul.

The Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse let out a roar, and a beam of white light shot out from its mouth.

The Evil Eye Tyrant made no attempt to evade this. He gently raised his right arm, and with a "crack," the space around him suddenly shattered, and ten silver-white tentacles emerged from it!

Like the tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant's main body, each of the ten silvery-white tentacles had a huge eye growing at its base.

The next instant, the eyes at the base of all ten tentacles shot out a mental ray.

The laser emitted by the Holy Light Dragon Horse was as fragile as paper in front of the spiritual rays of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, and was swallowed up in an instant.

The 100,000-year-old soul beast already possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans. Without Long Yeyue's command, the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse folded its dragon wings, completely enveloping itself.

The next instant, a pair of pure white dragon wings shimmered with a dazzling golden light.

Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse's innate soul skill: Light Dragon Protective Shield.

"An ant trying to shake a tree." The Evil Eye Tyrant let out a cold laugh. Under the impact of the mental ray, the shield of the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse was quickly shattered.

But just then, a black phantom suddenly charged toward him from the side of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

The spectators in the stands immediately gasped in surprise—it was a giant black dragon!

Dark Flame Dragon, the 100,000-year-old soul spirit of Long Yeyue's Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, is a subspecies of the Dark Sacred Dragon, possessing near-ultimate dark attributes.

In fact, at the very beginning of the Soul Battle, Long Yeyue released both the Dark Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse.

However, since the Dark Flame Dragon is of the dark attribute and excels at stealth, it was not discovered immediately.

Long Yeyue naturally knew that the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse alone was no match for the Evil Eye Tyrant, so she directly released the Dark Flame Dragon as well.

Since it concerned the Soul Armor, Long Yeyue naturally wouldn't put on airs as a senior and go all out right from the start.

Dark purple flames erupted from the Dark Flame Dragon's body; it was the Dark Flame Dragon's innate soul skill, Dark Flame Burst!

"Do you really think I didn't notice?" The Evil Eye Tyrant let out a cold laugh, and the dark red domain instantly spread out from the Evil Eye Tyrant as its center.

Thorn Halo Domain!

At the same time, ten silver-white tentacles immediately blocked the Dark Flame Dragon's charge in front of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

After the Evil Eye Tyrant stopped the Dark Flame Dragon, before the Evil Eye Tyrant could make another move, the Dark Flame Dragon's body suddenly froze, and then it spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, since it was a spirit, the blood spewed out by the Dark Flame Dragon dissipated immediately.

The Thorns Aura can return 50% of the damage received to the opponent as a mental attack.

Clearly, the Dark Flame Dragon is not skilled in mental power and is completely unable to withstand the counter-damage from the Thorn Aura.

Long Yeyue's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly. She knew that the ferocious beast soul spirit of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather would definitely be very strong, but she did not expect that her two hundred-thousand-year soul spirits would not be able to fight it to a draw.

[I initially thought the main pressure would come from the soul armor, but I never expected this girl's soul spirit to be so powerful.]

With this thought in mind, Long Yeyue did not hesitate and released her last 100,000-year-old soul spirit.

Accompanied by a loud and melodious cry, a phoenix with white-gold feathers appeared instantly.

"The Phoenix of Light?" On the platform, Enci immediately saw through the limits of this spirit.

"The Phoenix of Light? That's a powerful spirit no less than the Holy Dragon of Light." A hint of surprise appeared in Dai Lingxun's eyes.

"Shrek is Shrek after all!" Grace exclaimed, none of his spirits could compare to the Phoenix of Light.

Initially, Tianjue Douluo Bede Xun wanted to exchange this 100,000-year-old Bright Phoenix and the Spirit Pagoda for a 100,000-year-old Bright Holy Dragon.

However, he was rejected by Qian Gu Shilong, the former master of the Spirit Pagoda, not only because Qian Gu Shilong wanted to annoy Shrek Academy.

It also has the intention of suppressing the Leng family, since the Leng family's martial souls are all phoenixes of various elements, and it's hard to guarantee that a phoenix of light might mutate in the future.

If the spirit and the spirit master's martial spirit are the same, then the bonus is naturally the greatest.

After being released by Long Yeyue, the Radiant Phoenix flew directly towards the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, its entire body radiating a dazzling golden light, like a golden shooting star.

The Evil Eye Tyrant remained unperturbed, manipulating its ten tentacles to shoot mental rays toward the Phoenix of Light.

But an astonishing scene unfolded: the spiritual ray struck the Phoenix of Light without reservation, yet it had no effect on it whatsoever!
Guiding the Sky, one of the innate soul skills of the Bright Phoenix, is similar to Leng Yaozhu's sixth soul skill, Phoenix Reborn in Fire. It can enter an invincible state by consuming soul power, making it immune to all attacks.

Although the Phoenix of Light was unharmed, Long Yeyue still frowned. [It actually consumed so much of my soul power; this Evil Eye Tyrant is probably not simple.]

After being nourished by the abyss energy absorbed by the Blood God Legion, the Evil Eye Tyrant is now equivalent to an 890,000-year-old ferocious beast, even surpassing the age of the Beast God Emperor Tian.

Moreover, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord primarily cultivates spiritual power, so even though he is a soul spirit without a physical body, it doesn't actually affect his strength.

Therefore, even as a spirit, the current Evil Eye Tyrant is stronger than he was at his peak ten thousand years ago.

With the spiritual power of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather Divine Origin Realm as its foundation, the current Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler is completely at the peak of the Quasi-God level.

Let alone Long Yeyue's several hundred-thousand-year-old soul spirits, even if Long Yeyue himself were to personally engage in battle, he might not be a match for the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

Even though the Phoenix of Light broke through his attack, the Tyrant of the Evil Eye remained calm, for every soul skill comes with a price.

As long as my attack is powerful enough, I can definitely break through it.

Just as the Evil Eye Tyrant was about to launch another attack, a yellow figure suddenly appeared.

"Old Evil Eye, you're no good either!"

As the yellowish-brown light faded, a handsome man in a yellow robe stood on the field.

He had long black hair and a resolute and extraordinary face, but his center-parted hairstyle made him look like someone from the past.

[Another ferocious beast spirit!] Seeing that it was yet another humanoid spirit, Long Yeyue was slightly startled and felt something was amiss.

The audience in the stands gasped in surprise. After the commentator's explanation, they all recognized it as a ferocious beast spirit. The sudden appearance of Mountain Dragon Taikun caught not only Long Yeyue but even the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler off guard.

Originally, the Evil Eye Tyrant felt that he was too bored in the Sea of ​​Living Beings and wanted to come out and fry some fish. He had already agreed with Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather that he would use one eye to fight the whole game this time.

What's with this mountain dragon suddenly appearing out of nowhere?

The Evil Eye Tyrant looked back at the Ancient Phoenix Feather with some confusion, only to meet the Ancient Phoenix Feather's helpless gaze.

Clearly, Tae-gon was so bored that he couldn't stand it anymore and ran out on his own.

The Phoenix of Light was still flying towards the Tyrant of the Evil Eye. When Taikun saw this, he laughed and immediately flew towards the Phoenix of Light.

Just as Taikun and the Phoenix of Light were about to collide, Taikun suddenly turned his body to the side, facing the Phoenix of Light with his shoulder, and then slammed his shoulder into the Phoenix of Light.

The Mountain Dragon King's legendary soul skill, Iron Mountain Lean! (not really)

Even though the Phoenix of Light had the Heavenly Guide Soul Skill that made it immune to damage, it was still knocked away by Taikun!
"Old Evil Eye, strength is the true aesthetic. Look at your effeminate manner, you've been micro-managing for so long and haven't even managed to hit a single bird." Mountain Dragon Taikun turned to look at Evil Eye Tyrant and mocked.

"Old Mountain Dragon, if it weren't for your meddling, I would have only needed to shift all my mental rays five centimeters to the left to crush this pheasant!" the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord said indignantly.

The entire audience fell silent once again. The two orange-level spirits of the Ancient Tower Master had actually started arguing right in front of so many people.

"Are they fighting amongst themselves?" Yue Hongchen asked with a strange expression.

Gu Yuena gently rubbed her forehead. "Perhaps this is their way of expressing concern for each other?"

Strictly speaking, the Evil Eye Tyrant was her subordinate, and the Mountain Dragon Taikun was her kin. Their quarrel made Gu Yuena feel extremely embarrassed.

[It seems that the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather didn't command the souls in battle at all; they always decided on their own fighting style.]

[That's true. The ferocious beast spirits all possess lifespans of at least tens of thousands of years and have incredibly rich combat experience, but the problem is their lack of teamwork.]

Instead of focusing on the argument between Evil Eye Tyrant and Mountain Dragon Taikun, Long Yeyue immediately began to analyze the situation.

After thinking it over, Long Yeyue immediately gave orders to the spirits.

While Shanlong Taikun and Evil Eye Tyrant were arguing, Black Flame Dragon and Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse secretly got together.

Long Yeyue possesses a self-fusion skill for her martial souls, while the Black Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse are of similar quality and are respectively the 100,000-year-old soul spirits of Long Yeyue's two martial souls.

Under Long Yeyue's guidance, the two can also unleash moves similar to a martial soul fusion technique.

The Bright Phoenix, due to its higher quality, cannot use similar pseudo-spirit fusion techniques with the spirits on other Dark Sacred Dragon spirits.

It was precisely because of this pseudo-spirit fusion skill that Long Yeyue was confident in this spirit battle.

Soon, the soul power of the Black Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse merged and instantly fused together, then unleashed a devastating attack!
The white symbolizing light and the black symbolizing darkness merged together, creating a dazzling pinkish-purple that roared toward Taikun and the Evil Eye Tyrant with a destructive force.

Meanwhile, what are the Evil Eye Tyrant and Taikun doing?

They're still arguing!

"Old evil eye, do you want to defy me, who possesses the power of the Dragon King?" Mountain Dragon Taikun said coldly.

"The Dragon King? He's nothing but a mortal born in an era before me," the Evil Eye Tyrant said disdainfully.

Seeing the two ferocious beast spirits of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feathers locked in internal strife, Long Yeyue was secretly laughing. She had only intended to give it a try.

After all, the power of the Soul Armor was undeniable, so even if she lost, it wouldn't be shameful. When she saw the Soul Ring configuration of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, she had already given up hope.

But now, she has seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she knows best how powerful the pseudo-martial soul fusion skill of two 100,000-year-old soul spirits is.

If this one move hits, then it will all be over.

On the podium, Dai Lingxun was so excited she almost stood up; her heart was in her throat.

The same goes for Mu Tian, ​​the sect leader of the Body Sect. He is determined to have Liu Yueyi. As long as he wins today, it doesn't matter if he loses everything later.

Children care about appearances, adults care about substance.

However, just before the Black Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse unleashed their strongest attacks on Mountain Dragon Taikun and Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

They turned their heads together and looked at the dragon and the horse with displeasure.

"When adults are arguing, kids should stay out of the way!"

With a wave of his hand, Shanlong Taikun suddenly created a huge phantom of a mountain dragon, a thousand meters long, which unleashed a deadly dragon breath at the Black Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse!

The combined full-force attack of the Black Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse was shattered in less than a second against the Mountain Dragon King's dragon breath.

Even after destroying their attack, the dragon's breath still roared towards them!

The Evil Eye Tyrant raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist. "Grasp of the Void!"

Black Flame Dragon and Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse were struck as if by lightning, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and even their forms became much more illusory, almost dissipating.

Long Yeyue coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her soul was severely injured, which naturally backfired on the Soul Master.

Upon seeing this, Long Yeyue was greatly alarmed. She dared not let the Black Flame Dragon and the Holy Light Heavenly Dragon Horse resist the aftershocks of the Mountain Dragon King's breath, and hurriedly recalled them back into her spiritual sea.

There was silence.

The Soul Masters present could all see that Long Yeyue's two Soul Spirits had launched a move similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but it was easily defeated by a casual strike from Qian Gu Huang Yu's two Soul Spirits!

Without any preparation or pre-attack animation, it was just a random, impromptu strike!

"So what if it's Old Mountain Dragon? In the end, didn't I take them down with a single move?" the Evil Eye Tyrant said proudly.

"You're cheating! If I hadn't created a comfortable attacking environment for you, would you have been able to attack so easily?" Taikun said with dissatisfaction.

The entire stadium of the Star Luo Empire was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for the sounds of Tai Kun and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler arguing.

...

Seeing that the pseudo-martial soul fusion skill of Long Yeyue, on whom she had placed high hopes, had defeated her as if it were child's play, Dai Lingxun's expression froze on her face.

Regarding the Soul Spirit Battle, the second battle of the Five Gods' Showdown, Dai Lingxun originally had little hope due to the Soul Armor.

But we can't be defeated before the opponent even gets to unleash their Soul Armor, can we?

This is too embarrassing.

Even the Imperial Advisor Enci was somewhat taken aback by this. He and Mutian had put in a lot of effort to persuade Long Yeyue to join the war.

This result was truly unexpected for Enci, but there was nothing Enci could say, since Long Yeyue's tactics were flawless; he was simply defeated by the opponent's spirit.

"Shall we continue?" Qian Gu Huang Yu looked at Long Ye Yue and said slowly.

A bitter expression appeared on Long Yeyue's face as she said, "No need, I concede defeat in this match."

Once a soul is retrieved, it automatically loses its eligibility to participate in the battle. Although Long Yeyue still has the Bright Phoenix and several ten-thousand-year souls, it is obvious that they are no match for the two souls of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather.

"The second match of the Five Gods' Duel has been won by the Tower Master of the Ancient Tower!"

As the host announced the results of the match, the attention of many viewers was drawn back to the game. Only then did they belatedly realize that the second round of the Five Gods' Showdown had already ended.

"Where's the Soul Armor? We came here to see the Soul Armor!"

"How could you do this to us? You didn't even manage to get the Soul Armor! xxx, give us our money back!"

"It's over. Shrek Academy is such a disappointment!"

The reason why tickets for regular matches can sell out and even fetch exorbitant prices on the secondary market is that...

Many nobles of the Star Luo Empire had long yearned for the Soul Armor and were eager to see it for themselves.

As for Qian Gu Huang Yu herself, she is the founder of Soul Armor, so no one should know more about Soul Armor than her.

But in the end, they spent a lot of money or effort to get the tickets, but in the end they didn't even get to see the Soul Armor. How could they not be angry?
Hearing the audience's complaints, Long Yeyue's expression darkened even further. She had come here to relax, but this incident only made her more frustrated.

However, Long Yeyue controlled herself well and did not explode at this moment.

"Wait, don't give up!" A loud voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

Even the host was taken aback. What kind of situation is it where a contestant is told to concede defeat but then not be allowed to?

Looking closely, they discovered that it was the mountain dragon spirit of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather shouting, "No way! I and Old Evil Eye couldn't decide the winner just now. You, whoever you are, come down and fight me!"

Qian Gu Huang Yu slapped his forehead, gave an embarrassed laugh, and said, "My soul is quite crude, please don't mind."

With that, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather directly took back both the Mountain Dragon Taikun and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

After doing all this, Qian Gu Huang Yu casually tossed her long golden hair and turned to leave.

...

Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu win, Yue Hongchen breathed a long sigh of relief. She had been on tenterhooks watching this match. Seeing that Gu Yue Na remained calm and composed, she asked curiously, "You don't seem surprised by any of this."

Gu Yuena smiled calmly, "Competing with the Spirit Pagoda in terms of soul spirits is inherently reckless. Moreover, using dragon-type soul spirits in front of Huang'er is tantamount to courting death."

Upon hearing this, Yue Hongchen immediately realized, "Dragon's Might?"

Gu Yuena nodded silently. The bloodline level of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather had now surpassed her own.

Dai Lingxun's expression was somewhat strange at this moment, even though it was publicly announced as a five-god battle between the Body Sect and the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

However, Dai Lingxun knew that this was the best lineup that the Body Sect, the Star Luo Empire, and the Tang Sect could muster.

In truth, none of their souls could compare to Long Yeyue's.

It could even be said that Qian Gu Huang Yu is currently the most powerful soul spirit in the entire Star Luo Empire.

...

When Qian Gu Huang Yu left the stadium in the Spirit Pagoda's special vehicle, the cheers from the crowd were noticeably louder than before.

If the first mech battle could be considered as a matter of taking advantage of the mechs' performance, then the second battle was a complete and utter crushing victory from start to finish!

The Star Luo Empire is a nation founded on martial prowess and deeply reveres the strong. Today, Qian Gu Huang Yu has earned the respect and admiration of the Star Luo people through her absolute strength.

When Qian Gu Huang Yu returned to the Spirit Transmission Tower by carriage, he could clearly feel that the people of the Spirit Transmission Tower treated him with much more respect.

With her divine energy at the Divine Origin Realm, Qian Gu Huang Yu could clearly sense whether others truly respected her or were merely paying lip service.

If the people of the Spirit Pagoda previously thought that Qian Gu Huang Yu had only risen to the position of deputy tower master because of his scientific research abilities...

Now, they have developed a sense of admiration for the strength of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

...

Sun and Moon Federation, Shrek City, Spirit Tower Headquarters.

As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Die Ting is one of the most powerful people in the entire Douluo Star. Even if he is separated by a vast ocean, he can watch the live broadcast of the Five Gods' Battle in the Star Luo Empire without any problem.

When he saw that Long Yeyue was representing the Body Sect in the second round of the Five Gods' Showdown, he jumped up from his chair in anger.

It wasn't that he thought the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feathers would lose, but he was simply astonished by Shrek Academy's shamelessness.

After Qian Gu Huang Yu won the Soul Spirit Battle, Qian Gu Die Ting immediately organized people to report the victory.

Soon, news of Shrek Academy colluding with the Star Luo Empire and betraying the Federation, along with the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda taking on an entire nation, swept across the entire Federation.

Although the Star Luo Empire claims it is a five-god battle between the Body Sect and the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feathers, the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feathers selectively ignore the fact that this lineup is clearly a combination of the Star Luo Empire, the Body Sect, the Tang Sect, and Shrek Academy.

The Phoenix Feather of the Ages is fighting against all the major forces except for the Temple of War and the Spirit Pagoda all by herself!

The news immediately caused an explosive impact within the Sun Moon Federation, with endless doubts being raised about Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

At the same time, there were also voices praising Qian Gu Huang Yu. Originally, the public's impression of Qian Gu Huang Yu was more focused on her being the founder of Soul Armor, and in terms of strength, they still regarded her as a junior.

The public's understanding of Qian Gu Huang Yu's strength was still based on the Soul Master Competition five years ago, but now they are being told that Qian Gu Huang Yu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, making her an absolute powerhouse.

Although the Spirit Pagoda is now partnering with the Tang Sect to open a bank, which can be considered a deep cooperative relationship.

However, the attitude of Qian Gu Die Ting towards the Tang Sect is: don't die, but don't live well either.
