Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 378 Is it a great honor to be the son-in-law of the God King? Long Aotian vs. Tang Wutong

"Huo Yuhao, the former disciple of Shrek Academy, has handed Shrek Academy a defeat today."

The resounding voice echoed on the competition stage, making the eager atmosphere subtle. Many people's eyes gleamed, and their hearts were like being scratched by a kitten. Their gazes shifted between Huo Yuhao and the Shrek Academy members with displeasure.

At Mingyue Hotel, having been freed from her wheelchair, Beibei, watching the live stream on the Soul Guidance Display screen, closed her eyes in anguish and murmured, "Xiaoya, I'm so sorry..."

Yan Shaozhe once said that the Body Sect was the most suitable place for Huo Yuhao, and now it seems that he was right. Huo Yuhao became a Soul King within five years and defeated two Soul Emperors in succession. He can definitely be called an elite, and his potential is not much worse than his.

But now, this genius is gone! He was expelled from the Tang Sect by his own words!
He vaguely sensed that Huo Yuhao's fighting style still bore the shadow of Tang Sect's secret techniques, which were not allowed to be passed on to outsiders according to regulations, but Bei Bei knew he didn't have the face to mention these things to Huo Yuhao.

The sect leader has switched to the Holy Spirit Cult. Yan Shaozhe's promise to introduce him to a few people is just empty talk. He's the only one left in the entire Tang Sect, practically a ghost town. What's the point of keeping the rules?
As Bei Bei donned the mask of pain, the Body Sect was adorned with ribbons of joy. Huo Yuhao's victory against two opponents across borders was nothing short of perfect. Jin Peng, Gu Tong, and others were overjoyed, and even Long Aotian showed his approval, acknowledging that his two drops of blood had not been wasted.

In the eastern part of the audience, Poison Undying, wearing a straw hat, chuckled. "Good lad, it wasn't for nothing that he fought his way into Shrek Academy to steal someone."

In fact, because of his supreme soul skill, Mirror Replication, Huo Yuhao's importance among the younger generation of the Body Sect is second only to Long Aotian and Vina. His soul skill is too suitable for a Body Soul Master.

In the western part of the audience seating area, two burly men, Niu Tian and Titan, along with the three remaining elders of the Haotian Sect, occupied a large space.

Titan lowered his gaze, sized up Huo Yuhao, and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "Big brother, I think this chosen one is quite capable. He defeated two Soul Emperors."

"If he hadn't used up a lot of his soul power fighting the Dai family's little white tiger, I think he could have continued fighting; his record isn't as good as that person's, but it's not too far off either."

Niu Tian stroked his chin, examined him for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "Among contemporary geniuses, he is considered outstanding, but he doesn't meet the foundation requirements of a first-level god, and there's not much novelty about him."

"At the very least, one must be able to contend with a Soul Saint."

"This is a difficult problem. We've been looking around for so many days and haven't seen a Soul King with this kind of strength. On the contrary, the two juniors from the Red Dust Family of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have amazing talents."

Titan smacked his lips, then suddenly chuckled and said, "Big brother, you saw them make their move too. Both of them have 100,000-year soul rings. It's impossible for them to do that with their own bodies and talents. This must be the soul spirit technology that the Heavenly Court developed."

"It seems they weren't lying. Soul spirits really can make a contract between a soul beast that is about to die and a soul master. From then on, they become one with the soul master and reside in the soul master's body. The contract is broken when the soul master dies, and they can then live on as energy bodies and be passed down from generation to generation."

"In this way, the threat posed by the Soul Beast race is greatly reduced."

Born into the Soul Beast race, Titan would occasionally give Soul Beasts some things to think about. That person said that he wanted to obtain the Emperor Beast and the Heavenly Overlord, not only to enhance Xiao Qi's talent and potential, but more importantly, to obtain the ability to control the Douluo Star plane and prevent the plane from decaying.

He and Niu Tian both firmly believed in this reason.

Niu Tian did not answer. After pondering for a moment, his gaze fell on Xu Tianxi, a young man standing among the giants on the high platform, chatting and laughing with Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen. His gaze was deep as he said:

"If the Soul Technology is truly as advertised, and was developed under his leadership as the Lord of Heaven, then this person's abilities qualify him to be the Chosen One of the Planes."

"Huh? Brother, you suspect he's the person we're looking for?"

Titan blinked, gazed into the distance for a moment, and pondered:

“There is something concealing the fluctuations of soul power on him. I think he is only at the level of a high-level Soul Saint. At this age... if he cultivated it himself, he is indeed qualified, although I did not see any trace of luck on him.”

Xu Tianxi had three layers of soul tools placed on him to isolate him from detection. His cultivation was completely concealed. If someone could see through the first layer, they would be able to detect a trace of the soul power fluctuations of a high-level Soul Saint.

The second layer was laid down by him using his own spiritual power and that of Electrolux, and the third layer was laid down by the Mountain Dragon King using the Water God's Water God Pearl. Unless a God-King level expert comes into close contact, they cannot detect his true cultivation level.

Adhering to the principle of "prudence" without wavering is Xu Tianxi's consistent code of conduct.

Niu Tian also failed to see through Xu Tianxi's second layer of disguise. He nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's a pity that this person is not in the original Three Kingdoms, otherwise we would have found him long ago."

At this point, he seemed to remember something, and his expression turned strange. He said:
"That person meant to find a suitable husband for Xiaoqi. This person had never interacted with Xiaoqi before, and was provoked by Xiaoqi on their first meeting. I'm afraid he didn't have a good impression of her."

Titan scratched his head after hearing this before speaking, "Didn't that person say that those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre? He and Sister Xiaowu fought the first time they met, so you could say they became friends after fighting. If this person is really the target, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Niu Tian recalled Tang Wutong's rampage against the experts of the Heavenly Armor Sect a few days ago, and Xu Tianxi's words of stopping the farce and calling the Shrek Academy members all madmen. Niu Tian frowned more deeply and shook his head, saying:

"This is not a good situation. This person does not agree with Shrek Academy's approach. I'm afraid in his eyes, we and Shrek Academy are just villains who have come to cause trouble."

"Shrek's style is really not that great, I don't think much of it either." Titan casually belittled Shrek, rubbing his hands together and asking with wide eyes:

"Then what should we do, brother? He's from the Sun Moon Empire, so there seems to be no reason for him to get in touch with Xiao Qi and develop feelings for her."

Niu Tian pondered, "Let's report it first and wait for that person's news. I believe he will have a solution."

Titan recalled Tang San's instruction before he and his brother descended to the mortal realm: "You must thoroughly train my future son-in-law." He muttered to himself:

"I reckon once he finds out, he'll definitely have the two of us take action against him and the people around him, forcing him to go to the Haotian Sect, or we'll just tie him up and beat him up..."

"That's nothing. Being chosen by a god-king and becoming his son-in-law, isn't that an honor for a genius like him? It's only right that he suffers some hardships," Niu Tian said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, that's for sure." Titan agreed, thinking that he and his elder brother originally had no hope of becoming gods, but because they chose the right person, they were resurrected and had the opportunity to ascend to godhood, even if only as the most junior priests. Of course, since he and his elder brother became gods thanks to him, they could no longer call him "Tang San" and "Little San," because serving a ruler is like walking on thin ice.

……

While the two spirit beasts were discussing their plans, Tang Wutong was giving a pre-battle pep talk to the Shrek Academy team.

She glanced coldly at Dai Huabin, who was covered in blood on the stretcher, and Zhu Lu, who was crying her eyes out, and said coldly:

"If you're not satisfied, go up and fight back! Beat those guys from the Body Sect to a pulp too, and avenge them!"

Her gaze fell upon Tang Yao, whose injuries had just healed and who was absorbing the soul power of the milk bottle; Tang Tian, ​​Xie Huan Yue, and Ning Shi, all in their prime; and Wu Feng, the temporary substitute. She said with an air of arrogance:
"I only have one requirement for you: follow me, crush the Body Sect, and defend the glory of Shrek Academy. Anyone who drops the ball, I'll skin them alive after the competition!"

Did you all hear that?

"We heard that!" the five shouted in unison.

From the direction of the Body Sect, Gu Tong, with her sharp eyes, spotted the Shrek Seven Devils shouting and yelling. She curled her lip and said:

"These people are so hypocritical. They didn't go to help their teammates who were seriously injured, but they only started to boost morale when it came to team battles."

Huo Yuhao, who had used a baby bottle to restore his soul power, wholeheartedly agreed. He sipped the entire bottle dry, panting heavily.

"Yes, even I didn't expect those people to be so cold-blooded. They wouldn't admit defeat for Dai Huabin just to save face. After I beat him like that, he won't be able to recover until the semi-finals."

Huo Yuhao said that he never expected to have the opportunity to beat up Dai Huabin in public without getting into trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have used more than 60% of his soul power on Dai Huabin.

"Yes, no matter what, let's go all out from here on out. I don't think Yan Shaozhe and the others care about the lives of these students."

Vina's pretty face remained indifferent. She recalled what Xu Jiujiu had said when they were mourning the Tianjia Sect: Shrek Academy was never trustworthy, and the Haotian Sect seemed to be in the same boat. It was wishful thinking for them to place their hopes on these forces.

If they can't even protect their own people, how can they be expected to protect their allies? Absolutely not.

As if by some strange twist of fate, Vina glanced at the platform out of the corner of her eye and saw Xu Tianxi dozing with his eyes closed. She thought to herself, if it is him, he must be the most trustworthy ally.

How could someone like him appear in the Sun Moon Empire instead of the Heavenly Soul Empire? What a pity, the Heavenly Court is full of talented people.

He managed to make Xu Sanshi, Su Tong, Xiao Xiao, and others submit to him, and he even managed to invite the ferocious beast kings from the two major soul beast gathering places to stay permanently. Vina knew that Xu Tianxi must have done a lot of great things in the past five years, and she didn't know how much he had done to build the Heavenly Court.

As for the Heavenly Court's acts of kindness and benevolence over the past few years, who knows how many have been on the table of the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family? Perhaps even he couldn't have imagined that whenever the Heavenly Court introduces a public welfare initiative, the Heavenly Soul Empire would quietly follow suit? Vina thought with some helplessness.

As far as she knew, the Star Luo Empire did the same. The Heavenly Court offered free awakening of martial spirits and supervision, and so did they. The Heavenly Court offered interest-free loans, and so did they. However, neither of the two empires could provide soul spirits.

The Heavenly Soul Royal Family even held a top-secret meeting, hoping to make private contact with the Heavenly Court and poach him at all costs. However, Xu Tianxi had been rarely seen in recent years, and coupled with the pressure from the Sea God Alliance, the plan was never realized.

Since the start of the competition, Vina has not had any private contact with Xu Tianxi. He is fast and disappears after the competition. To avoid suspicion, she can't take the initiative to look for him without a reason.

"Vina, what are you thinking about? We're about to go on stage."

Vina heard Long Aotian's voice in her ear. He saw that Vina was lost in thought and reminded her.

"Oh, I was wondering if there would be any trouble during the competition. It's okay, let's get ready to go on stage." Vina made up an excuse on the spot, and for some reason, she didn't dare to look Long Aotian in the eye.

“Okay.” Long Aotian nodded, turned around and stepped forward, leading his seven-person team onto the competition stage.

The two sides stood still, their captains, Long Aotian and Tang Wutong, locked onto each other, one with a cold expression and the other with an arrogant look in his eyes.

"You'll be in a much better position if you admit defeat now," Tang Wutong said coldly.

Long Aotian did not answer. His gaze was deep and he released overwhelming pressure and aura towards Tang Wutong. The air seemed to carry his body, making him become one with heaven and earth.

Heaven and man are one.

"Hmm~!" Tang Wutong groaned, her eyes widening in shock. She had a feeling that Long Aotian was a terrifying beast, with a pressure even greater than that of a Title Douluo.

How is this possible? How could there be such a terrifying expert among the young Soul Masters? Even when the Title Douluo in the sect suppressed his cultivation to the Soul Saint realm and fought her, he didn't put this much pressure on her.

Just then, Zheng Zhan chuckled and announced the start of the match.

"on!"

Long Aotian shouted and strode forward, seven soul rings—one yellow, two purple, and four black—rising around his body.

His skin glowed with a jade-like radiance as he fearlessly approached the six black and one red Goddess of Light Butterfly. His first three spirit rings lit up, and his overwhelming aura surged like a tidal wave, pressing down on the Shrek Academy members.
