I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 276 Arena of Life and Death

Back at the academy safely!

Xiao Wuji directly granted Yu Yuanzhen ten slots for super-limited spirit rings, and at the same time, he passed on the remaining Tang Sect techniques to Ning Fengzhi as a reward.

After seeing the others off, Xiao Wuji spent another day absorbing the soul bone.

"The Arena of Life and Death, so it's a soul skill that comes with the Evil God Pearl. No wonder it's so overpowered."

Taking a mirror, Xiao Wuji carefully examined his newly grown right eye. The dark purple pupil gave it an eerie feel.

This eye was named the Eye of the Evil God by Xiao Wuji, and it contained two heaven-defying soul skills.

The Arena of Life and Death forcibly pulls the user and their opponent into a single space, turning the opponent into a child while leaving the user unchanged. Only the victor can leave this space; those killed in the arena are devoured by the victor's soul bone, causing it to evolve. If the victor is killed, the soul bone will fuse into the enemy's body!

Therefore, you must be careful when using this soul skill, or you may accidentally aid the enemy!
The second soul skill is called the Evil Domain, which can suppress the strength of enemies within the domain by 20% while increasing the user's own strength by 20%. It also triggers and amplifies the evil thoughts deep within the enemy's heart. Furthermore, the power of this soul skill continuously increases as the soul bone evolves.

……

Three days after the Soul Hunt, the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament was held as scheduled.

As a seeded team, Xiao Wuji naturally earned the title of Team Tiandou, gaining the right to directly participate in the finals and avoiding the trouble of playing qualifying matches one by one.

However, he still came to the opening ceremony, having been dragged there by Xue Qinghe. Wouldn't it be better for him to use that time to cultivate properly? No wonder she hasn't broken through to Soul Saint yet.

To be honest, Xue Qinghe was quite annoyed. He had finally cultivated to level 70, and even found a soul beast family for him, but then, bam! The competition started!
There was nothing she could do; she couldn't leave in this situation. She could only wait until the competition ended and then find an excuse to go out and absorb spirit rings!
However, the thought that she couldn't cultivate while Xiao Wuji was making rapid progress made her feel uneasy. Heaven knows if Xiao Wuji could catch up with her within a year, given his cultivation speed.

So, if I can't cultivate, you shouldn't expect me to either. My main goal is to be a good brother and have fun together.

If it weren't for the goal of winning the championship, she would have even wanted Xiao Wuji to go down to the preliminaries.

Xiao Wuji, who was forced into his seat by Xue Qinghe, was quite bored until he saw the Tianshui Girls' Group entering the venue, which piqued his interest slightly.

To be fair, Tianshui Academy has great school rules, and everyone there is good-looking. Unfortunately, only Shui Bing'er has both talent and good looks. Xue Wu's talent is just okay, but she is far from being outstanding.

After a while, Xue Qinghe, who was standing to the side, did not hear Xiao Wuji's sudden complaint and thought that he had finally been convinced by her. But when she turned her head, she saw that he was looking at a beautiful woman.
Seeing Xiao Wuji's focused expression, Xue Qinghe suddenly had a brilliant idea. He liked beautiful women, huh? Then I'll shower him with plenty, letting him indulge in their charms, and see if he can still cultivate so quickly. But why does his mouth feel a little sour? Oh well, he had to act quickly, or he'd be overtaken!

A strong competitive spirit suppressed other thoughts in my mind.

Competition is all about fairness and impartiality. If I can't succeed in my cultivation, neither can you. That's what fairness and impartiality mean!

The moment Xue Qinghe learned that Xiao Wuji had broken through to level 60, she completely regarded him as her rival.

To catch up with him, she even skipped that soul-hunting operation, just to save time for cultivation. A divine-level soul beast! Even rarer than a divine-level martial soul!
After adjusting his mindset, Xue Qinghe jokingly asked, "Wuji, have you taken a liking to a girl from Tianshui Academy? Should I help you propose marriage?"

Xiao Wuji thought for a moment and said bluntly, "Brother Xue, please don't joke around. With their talents, they are not qualified to stay with me forever!"

"My future goal is to become a god, but they don't even have the potential to become gods. I don't want to experience the pain of life and death separation in the future."

Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she was secretly delighted. This idea coincided perfectly with her own! "Wuji, you really have lofty ambitions. Although the idea of ​​becoming a god has existed for a long time, we don't know if it's true or not."

Xiao Wuji inwardly rolled his eyes. Others might not know, but surely you do? However, now wasn't the time to expose her. He could only feign confidence and say, "If there has never been a god in this world, then let me be the first!"

Seeing Xiao Wuji's heroic and spirited appearance, Xue Qinghe's eyes shone brightly, as if little stars were twinkling, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

Xue Qinghe's face was concealed by illusion magic, but her eyes betrayed her completely. Xiao Wuji pressed one hand on the railing of the stands, forcibly moving himself and his wheelchair a few feet to the side.

Seeing Xiao Wuji suddenly run off, Xue Qinghe quickly grabbed his arm and said with a smile, "Hey? Wuji, don't run away! You promised to watch the qualifiers with me!"

"Don't worry, I won't run away!" Xiao Wuji silently broke free from Xue Qinghe's grasp, then thought to himself, "It's because you got so close, so don't blame me!"

On the high platform, after Emperor Xueye finished speaking, he sat back on his throne. Then, he immediately noticed Xue Qinghe, who was being patted on the shoulder. He smiled and asked Meng Shenji, "That must be Earl Xiao of the Empire!"

"Indeed!" Meng Shenji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, with Xiao Wuji here, the championship of this competition is undoubtedly our Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"Oh? Then I'll have to wait and see!"

Salas glanced disdainfully at Meng Shenji and Xue Ye Dadi. "Geniuses from small places, do they even deserve to be compared with the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall?"
Then, at the master of ceremonies' call, Salas stepped forward to draw lots. Coincidentally, Blue Tyrant Academy was once again matched against the Heavenly Dou Royal Second Team led by Yu Tianheng.

However, this time, without Shrek Academy merging into Blue Tyrant Academy, the Heavenly Dou Royal Second Team has become the same as the original First Team. Coupled with the conflict between the two academies from the previous year, Blue Tyrant Academy's fate is truly tragic.

A woman with a fiery temper rushed onto the stage, checked the injuries of each participant, and then raised her hand, saying, "Referee, this is murder! I request that they be disqualified from the competition!"

Yu Xiaogang, who was originally looking smug on the sidelines, was now filled with all sorts of memories that Xiao Wuji had altered.

He quickly ran to the edge of the arena and said fiercely to Liu Erlong, "You say it's murder? Then have any students died? If not, then you're making a false accusation! You'll be disqualified from the competition!"

"Xiao, Xiaogang!"

Liu Erlong's mood instantly changed from anger to surprise. This sudden joy made her forget about her students and immediately walk towards Yu Xiaogang.

"stop!"

Some referees, unaware of the situation, thought Liu Erlong intended to attack Yu Xiaogang, and immediately stepped between the two, saying to Liu Erlong:
"During the competition, any false accusation against others will result in a warning; a second offense will result in disqualification from the competition!"

Although Yu Xiaogang's words were somewhat biased, the referee could still tell who the true master of the Heaven Dou Empire was. Besides, injuries are inevitable in any competition! As long as they don't cause serious harm, they are all minor issues.

Xiao Wuji was far away from them and did not know what they were saying, but he could tell from Liu Erlong's pitiful appearance at the end that his methods had worked.

However, to avoid being exposed, it's best to modify Liu Erlong as well! His mental strength has long reached the level of a Soul Douluo, so modifying the memories of a Soul Saint is naturally a piece of cake.
