Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 468 The Final Battle of Spirit City, Evil Spirit Master Tang San
When Chen Ming returned to Wuhun City, it was already the day before the competition was to begin, and the entire Wuhun City was filled with a tense atmosphere.

A large number of Title Douluos and Soul Douluos arrived in Wuhun City, ostensibly awaiting the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, but in reality, they were hoping to see if any conflict would arise between the two peerless Douluos, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. And how would Tang Hao, at the center of this affair, be dealt with?

The news of the Spirit Hall team had already been released by the Spirit Hall itself: three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters. Although these three Soul Kings were ordinary Soul Kings, unlike Dugu Yan who possessed extraordinary Soul Ring configurations, a Soul King is still a Soul King, and the three members of the Spirit Hall's so-called Golden Generation remained the focus of public attention.

Hu Liena, in particular, was hailed by the fearless individuals on the continent as the most talented woman of her time, second only to Dugu Yan. This title not only angered Hu Liena herself, but even Qian Renxue, who had come all the way to her happy hometown, was somewhat displeased.

However, because Dugu Yan's performance on the battlefield was overwhelmingly powerful, even though Hu Liena didn't like people thinking that her talent was inferior to Dugu Yan's, she still didn't underestimate Dugu Yan in the slightest.

The trio, known as the Golden Generation, conducted several tactical simulations and practice battles against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, determined to win the finals and leave their glory in the Spirit Hall.

As for the Blue Tyrant Team, which is actually controlled by the Clear Sky Sect?

Although the four Soul Masters of the Blue Tyrant Team were considered quite strong within the team, outsiders generally viewed them as inferior to the Five Elements Academy. Forget about reaching the finals; in most people's eyes, Blue Tyrant Academy was even destined for a first-round exit.

No one believed that this team, which was actually controlled by the Clear Sky Sect, could win. Therefore, most people, including the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall who were unaware of the truth, were prepared for a real battle between the Clear Sky Sect (Tang Chen) and the Spirit Hall (Qian Daoliu).

Even the two great empires were extremely tense as a result. With the tacit understanding of the high-ranking officials of both sides, some of their border troops were transferred back to their own territories to prevent unnecessary losses to their actual controlled areas and core cities during the turmoil.

Based on their analysis of the Clear Sky Sect's style and Tang Chen's behavior in his youth, they didn't believe the ever-ambitious Clear Sky Sect would simply let things go. A fight was inevitable; the only question was how far it would escalate and to what extent.

Moreover, given Tang Hao's daring nature—capable of killing and offending anyone—the nobles of both empires feared they might have unknowingly offended the Clear Sky Sect and been purged in the chaos. Those who had previously targeted the Clear Sky Sect for various reasons were especially concerned about this.

Currently, Wuhun City has become the focus of attention across the continent. After this grand competition concludes, the landscape of the continent is expected to undergo significant changes.

The first battle featured teams from the Star Luo Royal Academy of the Star Luo Empire and the Barak Kingdom team, which had barely qualified for the Principality competition.

The captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy team is the eldest prince, Davis, and the vice captain is the crown princess, Zhu Zhuyun. What is special is that there are two more Soul Masters in the team whose martial soul is Star Crown. Judging from their age, they are about sixteen or seventeen years old. Obviously, the Star Luo royal family has received further support from the Star Crown Sect.

Meanwhile, in the team's reserve squad, there was a figure that Dai Mubai "dreamed of." Compared to his previous disheveled state, that figure now looked much more relaxed.

Clearly, after giving up on Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuyun, as the older sister, successfully persuaded Davis to show his benevolent side as a monarch by whispering in his ear, thus successfully pardoning Zhu Zhuqing and preventing her from being dealt with and imprisoned like the former losers.

This is mainly because Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai have very little connection. Even Davis doesn't believe Zhu Zhuqing can remain loyal to Dai Mubai, a good-for-nothing who has been on the run for so many years. Although they are nominally engaged, they have no real relationship beyond that. Dealing with such a person is pointless, because compared to Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing has nothing. Choosing to forgive her would only boost her reputation.

However, given that his elder brother was in the group and that his current identity would easily attract the attention of the royal family, Dai Mubai could only glare at Zhu Zhuqing with hatred and dared not make any move.

It's undeniable that the Barak Kingdom's team has managed to fight their way out of the regional competition despite the current extreme nature of major tournaments, demonstrating the kingdom's dedication in nurturing these Soul Masters. However, compared to the Star Luo Empire's Royal Academy team, the Barak Kingdom's team is clearly outmatched.

Although the Star Crown Martial Soul wasn't well-known in the timeline of Douluo Continent I, its strength was astonishing. The crown on the Spirit Hall token represents the Star Crown Martial Soul of the Star Crown Sect. If the Star Crown Sect hadn't been unwilling to reveal itself, it would have been fully capable of competing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for a place among the top three sects.

Aside from the difficulty of cultivation, the Star Crown Martial Soul is full of advantages, offering a complete range of skills including attack, defense, control, and support. Due to its unique star attribute, some of its soul skills can far exceed the limits of ordinary soul skills.

Before the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy team could even unleash their trump card, the Netherworld White Tiger, the Barak Kingdom team was defeated by the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy team's attack.

After several days of fighting, the Blue Tyrant Academy team was matched with the Beast Academy team.

Although the Beast Academy only has three Soul Masters, one fewer than Lan Ba, the martial souls of the Beast Academy mostly possess very special abilities, and their quality and capabilities are superior to those of ordinary soul masters.

Just when everyone thought a fierce battle was about to unfold, something unexpected happened.

With a blank expression and "innocent" eyes, Tang San summoned the Evil Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which appeared in a cone shape above his head. Five spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and one black, appeared around him, revealing his aura as a high-level Soul King.

Despite having completely strayed onto the evil path, in the Douluo world, evil soul masters are stronger than normal soul masters. Although the power accumulated within their bodies has a complex and unstable origin, Tang San's current strength is still not a major issue.

"Blue Silver Entanglement! Hemp-Infused Entanglement!"

Despite his strength having increased significantly, Tang San still started with his favorite entangling skills.

Due to the potent poison inherent in the evil Blue Silver Grass, the members of the Beast Squad were knocked to the ground in a single round and declared defeated.

Even though the referee had made his announcement, Tang San was still not satisfied.
