Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 371 Gu Zhaoqiu's fighting spirit, Xiao Hongchen's thoughts, and a keen observation of the entire scene.

Shrek's advancement in the first round served as a wake-up call for all teams.

Most of the original sects and families from the Three Kingdoms who participated in this competition have joined the Sea God Alliance. Seeing the bleak state of the Heavenly Armor Sect, they felt a chill to some extent and warned their disciples and clan members that survival is the most important thing when encountering Shrek Academy.

The Haotian Sect and Shrek Academy act in a domineering and tyrannical manner, while the Sun Moon Empire tries its best to stop the fighting, which is undoubtedly a kind of dark humor.

At the Heavenly Court's competition site, Xu Sanshi's expression turned serious, and he volunteered to take on the main responsibility:
"If I draw Shrek Academy in the next draw, I'll go and have a go at her. I don't believe she can break through my evolved Golden Xuanwu Shield."

Xu Tianxi recently found him a golden tortoise shell that was over 190,000 years old, which allowed his Xuanwu Shield Martial Soul to be sublimated and evolved into a more defensive golden Xuanwu.

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle is the emperor of the land turtle clan. Due to its race, it is not afraid of the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation, but it cannot live for more than 200,000 years. It is the soul spirit that is most compatible with the Xuanming family on the land, and it is difficult to find a better one.

Furthermore, because the old tortoise's cultivation level was incredibly close to 200,000 years, Xu Sanshi formed an orange-colored ferocious beast soul ring when he fused with the soul spirit.

PS: In the Yin-Yang Eyes of Douluo Continent III, the 190,000-year-old Earth Dragon Golden Melon, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, and the Fiery Apricot Blossom all formed orange ferocious beast soul rings after transforming into soul spirits.
With such a foundation, the path to becoming a Super Douluo is already smooth, and Xu Sanshi has full confidence in breaking through to the Limit Douluo realm.

This treatment is unique among all the geniuses in the Heavenly Court. Xu Sanshi was deeply moved. He was truly grateful to be called "Third Brother."

Because of this sentiment, Xu Sanshi made up his mind that he would confront anyone who dared to mess with Xu Tianxi's Heavenly Court!
Gu Zhaoqiu glanced at Xu Sanshi, shook her head, and with a spirited look in her beautiful eyes, said solemnly:

“You are not the only expert in the Heavenly Court. I know that she had a falling out with Tianxi, so it is not just your business.”

“I, my sister, shouldn’t bully the weak, but she shouldn’t have provoked us. Since she’s retaliating against us, I won’t hesitate to teach her a lesson!”

Upon hearing this, the air fell silent, and everyone's gaze focused on the two women.

Despite being the center of attention, Gu Yuena temporarily ignored the fact that Gu Zhaoqiu had referred to her as his "younger sister," and proudly puffed out her chest, revealing what she considered a very charismatic smile on her face beneath the Milky Way waterfall.

“Her, and the people behind her, are our responsibility.”

She was the leader of the Mountain Dragon King, and when the Mountain Dragon King was provoked, she, as his leader, naturally had to stand up for him.

Once she's dealt with the Haotian Sect, the Mountain Dragon King will surely be completely convinced of her worth. Don't think she doesn't know; this guy has always been outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful.

Gu Yuena thought about it with a joyful and lighthearted feeling, imagining Xu Tianxi looking at her with admiration.

“Alright! If you two ladies are going to take action, then I won’t compete. We’ll leave the one in the wheelchair from Shrek Academy and the people behind him to us.”

Knowing that the two sisters had special backgrounds, Xu Sanshi did not compete with them. Instead, he took a step back, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed twice, and chose his former good brother, Beibei.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen, unusually serious, secretly transmitted his voice to Meng Hongchen:

"Dream, if we encounter Shrek, I'll go toe-to-toe with her, and you can take care of the one in the wheelchair. Give them plenty of poison."

"Don't worry, brother. I not only want to poison him, but I also want to poison that woman as well, preferably so that she can never get up again."

Meng Hongchen twirled a strand of hair on her forehead, her expression nonchalant, and spoke coldly with a smile, a glint of cold light flashing deep in her bright eyes.

You have no right to provoke him!

Sensing the chilling aura and killing intent emanating from his younger sister, Xiao Hongchen suddenly shuddered, pursed his lips, and focused on watching the battle.

His younger sister's current poison is so potent that it is incurable even among those of the same level and invincible even across levels. Even a titled Douluo would be in a very sorry state if he wasn't careful.

Hehe, if Meng were to poison the young master of the Haotian Sect to the ground, those shameless bastards from Shrek Academy and the Haotian Sect would definitely flip the table, and then things would get interesting.

Looking at Shrek Academy in the distance, Xiao Hongchen suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. Treating them as opponents was boring and uninteresting.

Compared to what Xu Tianxi has done in recent years, how can Shrek Academy even come close? Their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been suppressed by these things for so many years, and being on par with them is a great disgrace.

"It's a pity he said that good things should be saved for last, otherwise, once I activate my battle armor, I can blow up even a titled Douluo!" Xiao Hongchen thought with some frustration.

Ever since he and Xu Tianxi created their own two-word battle armor, he has been looking forward to the day when he can wear it and wreak havoc. The only thing that can suppress his restless heart is Xu Tianxi's admonition.

His gaze swept around several times before landing on Jing Hongchen on the high platform. Suddenly, Xiao Hongchen remembered that besides the Soul Fighting Tournament, there was another big event in Mingdu recently.

With a quick glance and confirmation of his teammates, Xiao Hongchen secretly transmitted his voice:

"Dream, the Mingdu Underground Soul Master Competition is about to begin. How about we disguise ourselves these nights and compete as Mingde Hall Soul Masters?"

Meng Hongchen glanced sideways at her brother, whose head was full of whimsical ideas, and asked in confusion, "Didn't we already win the championship? Why would we go there again?"

The Mingdu Soul Master Competition is held annually, and it has only been held twice before. Xu Tianxi did not participate, and no young soul master in the Sun Moon Realm could rival the brother and sister. They each won the championship once.

“Those guys at Shrek Academy are so wicked, they’ll definitely come up with some bad ideas after they find out. And those despicable guys from the Holy Spirit Cult might cause trouble.”

Xiao Hongchen analyzed seriously, "Old Xu is not the same as before. He will definitely play the long game and catch big fish. He won't get involved himself. The only ones who can help him keep watch are us."

As time passed and the Heavenly Court took root in the Sun Moon Empire and rapidly grew stronger, Xu Tianxi had essentially become a leader on par with Jing Hongchen, and his status had changed drastically. Except for major events, he would not personally lead the team into battle, and it was impossible for him to participate in the competition himself. Being a judge was more appropriate, just like he was now sitting high above, pointing out the future to Kong Deming.

Xiao Hongchen knew clearly that although Xu Tianxi seemed to be their peer, he had actually reached the level of their elders, transforming from a pawn in the battle into a player in control of the game.

Therefore, he must work even harder, defeat the enemy, and catch up!

"So you had this plan all along. Those bastards definitely need to be guarded against."

Meng Hongchen thought about it for a moment and found it amusing. She smiled and said, "I didn't know you could actually use your brain."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's forehead quickly became covered in black lines. "Meng, you rascal, how can you be so mean to your own brother? Do I look that stupid?"

"That's true, I've been teasing you for so many years, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Meng Hongchen had a look on his face that said, "You have no self-awareness."

"You really are my good sister..." Xiao Hongchen turned his head away and silently frowned. If this weren't his own sister, he would have already lost his temper.

It's decided. When I have time later, I'll talk badly about Meng to Lao Xu. I, Xiao Hongchen, will make sure you know how powerful I am!

Just as Xiao Hongchen was determined to use the "spiritual victory method" to sabotage the daily sibling rivalry, Xu Tianxi also used his mental power to contact his brother to do something.

“Sanshi, the Sect Master of Tianjia Sect has lost his second son, third son, and four nephews to Tang Wutong this time. His eldest son, Han Jian, was seriously injured. He is in a state of grief. Tonight, you will go to offer condolences in the name of Xuanming Sect and bring two gifts to express the sentiments of our Heavenly Court.”

"People from this sect have visited the Xuanming Sect before. The current sect leader has some connections with a master in the sect. We should go and pay them a visit."

Xu Sanshi, who was chatting and laughing with Jiang Nannan, suddenly turned his head and saw Xu Tianxi on the high platform with a blank expression, but his voice was clearly real.

"Don't be surprised. My mental strength has improved recently, so the distance of my telepathic communication has also increased. Just respond directly, and I will receive it."

Xu Sanshi's eyelids twitched incessantly. The sound transmission from hundreds of meters away was as if it were right next to his ear. This guy's spiritual power was becoming more and more unfathomable.

abnormal!
"Go in private?" Xu Sanshi asked to confirm.

"No need. You and your country's representatives can go openly and honestly. Six people from the Tianjia Sect died, and most of the responsibility lies with Tang Wutong. As the organizers, we also need to take responsibility."

"My identity is too conspicuous to be seen in public. It would be much more discreet for you to go."

Xu Tianxi had a deep and honest voice, exuding a calm and serene aura that put people at ease.

"Mainly bring some medicines and pills for tendon repair, bone healing, hemostasis, and blood stasis removal. Gold Soul Coins are fine as a token; the important thing is the sentiment."

"Alright, you can leave this to me and your sister-in-law." Xu Sanshi patted his chest loudly.

"Okay, I trust you to handle things." Xu Tianxi withdrew his thoughts.

On the high platform, Xu Tianxi's mind was blank, and he saw no unusual phenomena.

If someone's mental strength surpasses his by a whole realm, they can perceive countless fine, spider-like rays of light emanating from between Xu Tianxi's eyebrows, extending to every corner of the arena, and sensing his aura.

"As expected, the Holy Spirit Cult Master Zhongli Wu has also arrived, with Feng Ling by his side. Both of their auras have improved compared to five years ago, indicating that they have absorbed a lot of resources in the Douling Empire..."

Sensing the true strength of the Holy Spirit Cult's experts, Xu Tianxi frowned almost imperceptibly. He vaguely sensed an incredibly terrifying aura hidden deep within Zhongliwu's area, and he couldn't tell whether it was Long Xiaoyao or Ye Xishui.

Zhongli Wu's cultivation level is much deeper than it was five years ago, while Feng Ling's changes are much more obvious. She has advanced from level 96 Super Douluo to level 97, living up to the quality of the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul.

She was slightly outmatched by Yan Shaozhe in their battle back then, but if they were to fight again now, the Phoenix of Light would surely be devoured by the Phoenix of Evil.

Besides the Holy Spirit Cult, which is an extremely dangerous group, Shrek Academy and the Body Sect are also key targets of Xu Tianxi's investigation. He has already found the five Title Douluos that Shrek Academy was hiding in the audience.

Regarding the Body Sect, Xu Jiujiu brought information that there was a Body Sect Super Douluo by Vina's side, and it is very likely that Du Busi followed, but his location has not yet been confirmed.

At that moment, a clear and ethereal voice rang in Xu Tianxi's ears.

"Xiong Jun, Xiao Bai, and I, along with the Xuanwu Soul Master Team that you have carefully prepared, are all ready to fight. You don't need to worry too much about some people causing trouble."

Xu Tianxi knew it was Xue Di speaking in secret, his brows relaxed slightly, and he replied with a smile:
"There's no need to be too nervous. Mingdu City is a melting pot of all sorts of people who are wary of each other. No one has complete control over the situation, and it's maintaining a strange balance."

"I think that it won't be until the competition is nearing its end that someone will try to break this balance, and that will be the real test for us."

"Hmm..." Xue Di responded, indicating her agreement.

Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief, then adopted an optimistic attitude, observing the overall situation while chatting with Xue Di via telepathy.

"I haven't seen you since I forged your battle armor and Ice Emperor Sword four months ago. I know you cultivate rapidly. Do you have any thoughts on condensing your second soul core?"
