Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 291 Three views follow the five senses

Ma Hongjun deliberately raised his right hand and gave a thumbs-up in the direction of the Holy Spirit Sect in an exaggerated manner. Just when everyone thought he was showing respect, he turned his wrist, and his thumb instantly flipped downwards, looking at the Holy Spirit Sect members with a provocative look on his face.

This scene completely enraged Tang Ya, who was sitting in the Holy Spirit Sect team. She stood up suddenly. Although she was wearing a large black cloak that covered most of her body, her sharp eyes like an eagle still shot straight at Ma Hongjun through the slowly descending soul guide shield.

The two people's eyes met in the air, as if invisible sparks were created, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"This fat guy."

Tang San shook his head in amusement, but since Ma Hongjun defeated the strong with the weak, it was harmless for him to feel proud for a while.

After all, isn’t that what Shrek Academy’s motto is? Those who don’t dare to cause trouble are mediocre, so what’s wrong with provoking an opponent?
At this moment, the voice of Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan rang out in the arena: "Individual elimination match second round, Shrek Academy wins."

When saying these words, even Zheng Zhan himself couldn't help but sound a little bit unbelievable.

After all, who would have thought that in this powerful confrontation, the one who would be the first to win two games and take the lead would be Shrek Academy?
Hearing the referee announce the result, Ma Hongjun lowered his arms with satisfaction. He walked briskly to Bupo Douluo, and then calmly took out the bottle from the storage ring.

The fierce battle with Wang Xiaolei just now has consumed most of his soul power. There are still competitions to come, so he must recover as soon as possible.

At this moment, he was thinking in his mind that in the next battle, it would be enough if he could consume the opponent's power and gain some favorable conditions for his teammates who would come on the field later.

After all, his focusing bracelet, which played a key role in the battle and was specifically used to restrain evil soul masters, had been destroyed by self-destruction in the previous battle. Without this important auxiliary item, his strength was also affected to a certain extent.

In the waiting area of ​​the Holy Spirit Sect, the atmosphere was particularly depressing and gloomy. Tang Ya stood there quietly, surrounded by an invisible aura of murderous intent.

She slowly turned around, her eyes like lightning cast towards the rest area, where Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng also looked at her, his eyes flashing with coldness. Seeing Tang Ya looking at her, Zhang Peng nodded vigorously at her.

Tang Ya nodded slightly as a response to Zhang Peng. Then, she tapped the ground lightly with her toes, and her whole body rose up silently with her back to the competition stage like a light feather. Her body turned gracefully in the air, and every movement was smooth and natural, like a dancing fairy.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, she calmly stepped onto the competition stage. At the same time, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently lifted the large black cloak that had been covering her body.

The audience, who were originally immersed in the joy of Shrek Academy's victory, cheered one after another when they saw someone coming on stage.

However, the moment Tang Ya lifted her cloak, the noise at the scene stopped abruptly and the entire stadium became quiet.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Tang Ya on the stage. They had been expecting some weird and ugly evil soul master to appear on the stage. After all, the contestants sent by the Holy Spirit Sect previously had all had rather strange appearances.

But what appeared before their eyes was a stunningly beautiful girl, her skin as white as snow, glowing softly under the lights of the stadium, as if it could be blown away.

Those bright eyes radiated a dark blue glow, so deep that it was like the vast starry sky, which could easily draw people in.

There was a hint of indifference on her beautiful face. She walked towards Ma Hongjun slowly with light and graceful steps.

Noble, cold and elegant, yet with an indescribable evil charm.

In the Tang Sect rest area, when Tang Ya's figure appeared in everyone's sight, a trace of pain that was difficult to conceal flashed in Bei Bei's eyes.

The pain was like a sharp dagger, piercing his heart fiercely. His eyes were fixed on Tang Ya, as if time had frozen at this moment.

The good times he had spent with Tang Ya flashed through his mind like a movie, but now the two of them were standing in opposing camps. This gap made him feel mixed emotions.

Xu Sanshi witnessed all this and sighed helplessly. He knew very well how Beibei felt at the moment, so he slowly reached out his hand and gently patted Beibei's shoulder.

He really wanted to say something to comfort Beibei, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start. After all, if he were in Beibei's situation, facing the person he once loved becoming his enemy, he would probably be in just as much pain. Any words would seem so pale and powerless at this moment.

On the other side, when Ma Hongjun saw Tang Ya, he showed an extremely surprised look on his face. He never expected that the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect was such a stunningly beautiful girl. Her delicate face and elegant temperament made him a little dazed for a moment.

"Hey beauty, you are so pretty, why do you want to be an evil soul master? Otherwise, follow your fat uncle, and fat uncle will take you to fly." Ma Hongjun's nature was hard to change, and he started to talk nonsense as usual.

In his opinion, such jokes might ease the tense atmosphere.

However, as soon as he said this, before Tang Ya could react, Beibei's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

His eyes seemed to be burning with flames of anger, and his fists were clenched tightly together, his knuckles turning white from the force.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to rush up and teach Ma Hongjun a profound lesson.

In his heart, Tang Ya will always be the woman he loves the most, and no one can offend her in the slightest, even if that person is now a member of Shrek Academy.

If Xu Sanshi and the others had not been quick to stop him, Beibei would have rushed out like an arrow.

Tang Ya's gaze was fixed on Ma Hongjun as cold as an ice knife. The dark blue light in her eyes became more and more intense, like a deep pool, hiding endless coldness and murderous intent.

At the same time, a faint dark blue airflow quietly rose from the soles of her feet and began to flow slowly around her body like a nimble snake.

These air currents appear gentle, yet they faintly exude a heart-pounding force, as if they will burst out like surging waves at any time and submerge everything.

She walked towards Ma Hongjun step by step with steady and slow steps. Every step she took seemed to step on everyone's heart, making the atmosphere of the entire stadium more depressing.

Finally, Tang Ya stopped only three meters away from Ma Hongjun. She stood there quietly, staring at Ma Hongjun coldly, her lips tightly closed, not saying a word. However, it was this silence that was more intimidating than any words.

In an instant, the air on the competition stage seemed to be frozen, and a strong atmosphere of solemnity and murderousness spread.

This aura, like a tangible haze, enveloped the entire area, making everyone present feel the prelude to the impending storm. Being stared at closely by Tang Ya with such a terrifying and oppressive gaze, Ma Hongjun felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight into his heart.

He shuddered involuntarily, and his expression, which originally had a hint of cynicism, instantly became a little stiff.

The feeling of being targeted by danger made him feel uncomfortable, as if he was under the gaze of a ferocious beast and would be torn to pieces if he was not careful.

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan also looked at Ma Hongjun speechlessly. Judging from the fluctuations of Ma Hongjun's soul power, he knew that Ma Hongjun would not survive this battle. Moreover, the aura of Tang Ya on the opposite side even frightened him. As the captain of the Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Ya's strength was probably above that of Jili and Wang Xiaolei before.

"Both sides exchange names." Zheng Zhan raised his voice, and his voice was clearly heard in the silent arena.

"Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun." Ma Hongjun tried his best to make his voice sound strong, but the slightly trembling tone still revealed his inner nervousness at the moment.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Ya."

Tang Ya's face was as cold as ice, and her voice was cold and calm, as if without a trace of emotion.

After announcing her name, she didn't even wait for Bupo Douluo to give any other instructions, but turned around and walked towards the edge of the ring.

"Is it really Senior Tang Ya?"

It was not until they heard Tang Ya call out her name in person that Ning Tian and others from Shrek Academy showed extremely strange expressions on their faces, with their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"Hmm? You know her?"

Tang San was slightly stunned, and his eyes, which were originally focused on the arena, quickly turned to look at Ning Tian and others, his eyes full of curiosity.

"That's right, Senior Sister Tang Ya is also a student of our Shrek Academy."

Ning Tian quickly replied, "It's just that she didn't make it into the inner courtyard at first, and left the academy early. Besides, she's the leader of the Tang Sect."

Lan Susu nodded and added, "Although I'm not very familiar with Senior Sister Tang Ya, I do know her because of Xiao Xiao and the others. I do know that there is such a senior sister."

"Master of the Tang Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San looked at Tang Ya in astonishment, his expression filled with disbelief. The Tang Sect held a special meaning in his heart. Even though this was the Tang Sect of another world, out of love for the Tang Sect, he naturally felt a sense of identification with this one. After all, this Tang Sect was passed down by his own self in this world.

But now, the leader of the Tang Clan actually joined the Holy Spirit Sect and became an evil soul master. This was really hard for him to accept.

"I remember that Senior Sister Tang Ya's martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass. How come she joined the Holy Spirit Sect and became an evil soul master?" Zhou Sichen couldn't help but speak, with a look of deep confusion on his face.

It was hard to imagine how a Blue Silver Grass spirit could become an evil spirit master. Furthermore, the Tang Ya before them looked incredibly powerful, a stark contrast to the Tang Ya they remembered, who hadn't even been able to enter Shrek's inner courtyard.

If the person in front of them did not look so similar to Tang Ya in their memory, and their names were not exactly the same, they would really find it hard to believe that the person standing on the field was the former senior Tang Ya.

It is human nature to have an instinctive inclination towards beautiful things. Tang Ya's stunning appearance instantly broke the originally tense and depressing atmosphere of the competition venue, which was filled with fear and disgust towards the Holy Spirit Sect.

Those audiences who were originally very emotional and full of resistance to the Holy Spirit Sect, involuntarily quieted down the moment they saw Tang Ya.

Their eyes were drawn to Tang Ya's stunning beauty and elegant demeanor, and their hearts couldn't help but stir. Many even had the same thought in their minds: "Could such a beautiful and charming girl really be the dreaded evil spirit master?"

However, everyone also understood that there was no necessary connection between beauty and ugliness and the nature and abilities of a soul master.

Tang Ya walked slowly to the edge of the competition stage with light and steady steps. She had a graceful figure and every step she took seemed to be weaving a beautiful painting.

After reaching the position, she turned around gently, her movements slow and graceful, like a blooming flower swaying gently in the breeze.

On the other side of the field, Ma Hongjun also adjusted his condition during this time. He looked solemn and quickly took back the bottle in his hand, ready to fight.

At this moment, he was staring at Tang Ya intently, not daring to slack off in the slightest. The air seemed to be filled with the tense atmosphere of an impending battle.

This is already the third game. For the individual elimination round, the third game is very important, especially for Shrek Academy which has already won two games before. If they win one more game, they can request to start the team competition.

Shrek Academy does not have much advantage in the individual elimination rounds. Their advantage lies in the team competition. They have the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, the Time Flies Bell, the Netherworld White Tiger, and the spirit fusion technique of the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

No matter how you look at it, only by entering a team battle can Shrek Academy have a chance of winning.

In the individual elimination round, after Ma Hongjun, only Tang San and Wu Feng possessed strong enough combat power. Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo and others were always a little behind.

Moreover, two people from the Holy Spirit Sect have already died, and substitutions are not allowed during the game, so the Holy Spirit Sect is bound to be short of people in team battles, fighting with fewer people against a larger force, which is a great advantage for Shrek Academy.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they have to defeat Tang Ya.

But those who saw Tang Ya's strength all shook their heads. Ma Hongjun definitely had no hope, but they didn't know if Tang San could turn the tide and defeat Tang Ya?

If Tang San can defeat Tang Ya, and there is no one stronger than him in the Holy Spirit Sect, then Shrek Academy still has hope of winning.

Bupo Douluo looked at both sides and stopped helping Ma Hongjun delay his recovery. He sighed inwardly and raised his right hand high.

"Game start."
