Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

When Zhongli Wu was furious and Jing Hongchen looked at him vigilantly, eight or nine other sharp figures also sensed the dangerous aura from Zhongli Wu at the same time.

They quickly appeared on the rostrum from different directions, surrounding Zhongli Wu in the middle.

Beside Zhongli Wu, an enchanting figure quietly emerged. The woman had a graceful figure and a beautiful face. She gently approached Zhongli Wu and spoke in a soft and gentle voice, yet with a hint of soothing meaning: "Master, calm down."

Hearing this gentle exhortation, Zhongli Wu took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress the anger surging in his heart.

Gradually, the violent aura on his body slowly withdrew, and he looked a little calmer.

However, an extremely cold voice still emanated from beneath the large cloak: "How shameless of Shrek Academy! They killed five of my elite disciples. This blood feud will be remembered by me."

Zhongli Wu's heart was filled with uncontrollable heartache at this moment. Every elite disciple of the Holy Spirit Sect who participated in this battle was a genius selected from thousands of people.

They are all under the age of twenty, but have already reached the Soul Emperor realm. With such extraordinary talent, it will not be difficult for them to break through to become Titled Douluo in time, and they may even have the hope of reaching the Super Douluo realm.

Even more rare was the fact that the martial spirits they possessed were all top-tier among the evil martial spirits. These young disciples were truly virtuous evil spirit masters, the future pillars that the Holy Spirit Church was cultivating with great emphasis.

However, how could Zhongli Wu not be heartbroken to see him die on the field like this?

"Master, calm down. These people will eventually fall into our hands, and then we will all be dealt with by you."

Xu Tianran's face was as calm as water. He spoke loudly to Zhongli Wu through the layers of people who were protecting him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. My Holy Spirit Church will handle these people on its own."

Zhongli Wu responded coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared from the competition venue in an instant.

In fact, how could Zhongli Wu not see the clues behind this game? During the entire battle, Bupo Douluo was just paddling from beginning to end and had no intention of intervening in the battle.

Whether it is Ma Hongjun from Shrek Academy or several disciples of their Holy Spirit Sect, with the strength of Unbreakable Douluo, they definitely have a chance to rescue him.

But he chose to stand by and watch, allowing the tragedy to happen.

But Bu Po Douluo is Xu Tianran's man, and his actions were obviously instructed by Xu Tianran.

Zhongli Wu knew this very well, and this was the real reason why he had exploded on the podium just now. He did this to warn the powerful regent.

However, Zhongli Wu also knew the current situation and would not go too far. After all, the development and growth of the Holy Spirit Church could not be separated from the support of the Sun-Moon Empire, and the two sides were still in the honeymoon period of cooperation.

Although Zhongli Wu had to swallow the blame today, he had already secretly decided in his heart that he would give Xu Tianran a warning no matter what.

The Holy Spirit Church is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. As an organization of evil soul masters, they have always acted unscrupulously and will never allow others to provoke them.

"Your Highness, the Regent, the leader has just lost several elite disciples. Please understand his feelings. If I have been disrespectful, I apologize on his behalf."

"Your Highness, the Regent, the leader has just tragically lost several of his elite disciples and is in a state of devastated emotion. I hope you can understand. If I was disrespectful in any way, I sincerely apologize on his behalf."

The person who spoke was the charming woman who had just persuaded Zhongli Wu on the podium. At this moment, she bowed slightly and spoke to Xu Tianran with an apologetic look on her face. Her voice was soft and gentle, as if carrying a hint of charm.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Tianran had a faint smile on his face, looking relaxed, as if he really didn't take the matter to heart at all. However, beneath that smile, it was difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Seeing this, the enchanting woman nodded slightly to Xu Tianran, then turned around and turned into a black light, quickly chasing in the direction Zhongli Wu left, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Bibi Dong elegantly lifted up her long, beautiful legs, and casually played with the Pope's scepter, a symbol of supreme power, in her hand.

She seemed to be completely oblivious to everything that had just happened, but the faint smile that unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth revealed that she was actually watching with great interest and enjoying the melon very much.

"I'm truly sorry to have disturbed Your Holiness. The Imperial Master lost several of his disciples today and was upset. His behavior may have been inappropriate. Please forgive me."

Xu Tianran looked at Bibi Dong with an apologetic look on his face, his attitude humble and polite, as if he really didn't care at all about Zhongli Wu's previous rude behavior. Instead, he tried his best to explain and apologize to Bibi Dong on his behalf.

"Those disciples were truly rare and outstanding talents. It's truly a pity that they died on the stage. If I were in that situation, I'd probably find it difficult to remain calm and composed. It's only natural for the Imperial Master to be angry about this."

Bibi Dong's words were the truth that came from her heart. Among the many disciples of the Spirit Hall, there was really no one who could be compared with the talented disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect who died in this battle, except for Qian Renxue, who was extremely talented and the inheritor of the Angel God.

Even her beloved disciple Hu Liena was far inferior to her in terms of talent.

After all, Hu Liena is already over twenty years old, but her cultivation is far inferior to those geniuses who have reached the Soul Emperor realm at the age of less than twenty.

If it was Hu Liena who met with misfortune on the field, Bibi Dong knew very well that she would probably be even more angry than Zhongli Wu, and might even take revenge on the spot at all costs.

It seems that Zhongli Wu was able to suppress his anger and watched his disciples fall one after another without losing his temper. This made Bibi Dong look at him with admiration.

Look at Xuan Zi from Shrek Academy. Just because Ma Hongjun died, he couldn't help but jump out and was determined to avenge his disciple.

Compared to him, Zhongli Wu does appear to be much more cold-blooded. His forbearance and determination make him worthy of being the leader of the evil soul master sect.

"I hope you understand."

Xu Tianran had a faint smile on his face and spoke in a calm tone.

In his heart, he actually preferred to work hand in hand with the Spirit Hall rather than with the Holy Spirit Church. After all, the evil spirit masters were a group of people whose actions were perverse and cruel, and it was difficult to expose them openly. The people and nobles of the Sun-Moon Empire mostly opposed the existence of evil spirit masters, and now it was only because of his tough measures that their opposition was temporarily suppressed.

Looking at the Spirit Hall, the situation is completely different. Although the Spirit Hall is already history on their side, its reputation among the civilians is still far greater than those terrifying evil soul masters.

When it comes to high-end combat power, the Spirit Hall is not inferior to the Holy Spirit Church. More importantly, the Spirit Hall and the Sun-Moon Empire are not on the same continent. From a strategic point of view, it fully conforms to the strategy of "making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones" and is undoubtedly an excellent choice for an ally.

In fact, there are many complementary aspects between the two sides, and they need each other.

For the Sun-Moon Empire, the high-end combat support of the Spirit Hall is crucial and can provide powerful assistance to the empire at critical moments.

At the same time, the rare metal ores and rich mineral veins collected by the Spirit Hall are indispensable resources for the development of the soul guidance technology of the Sun-Moon Empire.

As for the Spirit Hall, they were also very envious of the advanced soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire. With the help of modern soul guide technology, they could greatly improve the living environment and conditions of their own continent and enhance their overall strength and influence.

Especially after Bibi Dong witnessed this prosperous Mingdu with her own eyes, her thoughts underwent a huge change.

The Wuhun City, which had once been so magnificent in her eyes, now seemed a little old and outdated.

Everything in Mingdu, whether it was the convenience of living conditions or the various novel and interesting things, opened Bibi Dong's eyes. At the same time, it also strengthened her inner idea - she must do everything she can to learn the advanced technology of the Sun-Moon Empire and comprehensively transform the Spirit Hall to keep up with the pace of the times.

However, Bibi Dong knew very well that such a thing could not be accomplished overnight.

It requires a lot of time and energy, and also requires the Sun-Moon Empire to send professional talents to provide careful teaching and instruction.

Whether all this can be carried out smoothly depends largely on how much sincerity the Spirit Hall can show in the subsequent cooperation.

In the quarter-finals, this most brutal battle finally came to an end, and the final result of the game was far beyond everyone's expectations.

The Holy Spirit Sect, which has always been known for its strength and weirdness, suffered heavy losses in this fierce battle. Only two of the seven people who went into battle were left, which was a serious blow to its vitality.

The continent-famous Shrek Academy, although only sacrificing one person, still lost the game and was forced to stop in the quarterfinals.

This ranking is the lowest in the past ten thousand years for Shrek Academy. Looking back at the last competition, even though they lost in the end, they still won the honor of runner-up. But now, such a result is really regrettable.

In the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, the atmosphere was as depressing as the dark night before a storm, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Losing the game was frustrating enough, but Ma Hongjun's sacrifice was more like a sharp thorn, deeply piercing everyone's hearts, leaving them filled with resentment.

Especially Tang San, Yu Xiaogang and others, the grief and resentment in their hearts were intertwined, and they could not let go for a long time.

At this moment, Flanders was like a sculpture, standing blankly in front of Ma Hongjun's ice coffin. He stared at the coffin with lifeless eyes, his lips tightly closed, and said nothing.

Dean Flanders, who used to be greedy for money and had the image of a profiteer, now seemed to have lost all his vitality and was immersed in endless sorrow.

At the same time, the atmosphere within the Tang Sect was also extremely solemn. They were so confused at the moment that they didn't even dare to go to the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy to face Tang San and others.

After all, the murderer of Ma Hongjun was Tang Ya. This fact was like a heavy mountain weighing on everyone's heart.

They knew very well that they did not dare to expect Tang San and others to forgive Tang Ya easily. The mistakes Tang Ya made were too heavy. Ma Hongjun's death was a huge pain for Tang San and others.

But on the other hand, they could never give up on Tang Ya. Tang Ya was the leader of the Tang Clan. How could they just watch her fall into such a desperate situation? As a result, the situation fell into a seemingly unsolvable deadlock.

Everyone in the Tang Sect hopes that Tang Ya can survive and tries every means to rescue her from the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, but they also understand that from Tang San and his point of view, in order to avenge Ma Hongjun, they must take Tang Ya's life.

Naturally, Shrek Academy would not stand on the side of the Tang Sect on this matter, because Ma Hongjun died fighting for the glory of Shrek Academy.

This matter was so complicated that Beibei and others felt extremely difficult and helpless.

The quarterfinals are over, and the top four have just been announced: the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the Nevernight Palace, the Holy Spirit Sect, and the Tang Sect.

The Holy Spirit Sect chose to withdraw from the competition directly because of the death of five core disciples. That is to say, in the next semi-final, one team will have a bye, and the other two teams will compete for a place in the finals.

After the draw, the Nevernight Palace was given a bye, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had to fight the Tang Sect.

"Let's go. This competition is finally coming to an end. After the competition, we will graduate from the academy."

Meteor stretched out comfortably, with a hint of laziness in his tone. To be honest, for a man as strong as him, the intensity of this kind of competition could no longer satisfy his desire for battle.

Even when facing a strong man like Long Aotian who possesses a genuine martial soul and has reached the Soul Saint level, it is difficult for him to go all out and enjoy a hearty battle.

As for the Tang Sect, although it is somewhat interesting, it is impossible to defeat them.

The outcome of this competition was just as he predicted, with the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Never-Night Palace competing for the championship. In order to repay the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Meteor was not going to let the Never-Night Palace win the championship.

The Never-Night Palace, from a little-known new sect, was able to advance to the finals in one fell swoop. This amazing achievement made the Never-Night Palace instantly famous across the continent. Its reputation even surpassed many old sects that had been passed down for thousands of years, making it a dazzling new star in the Douluo Continent.

The game ended and the audience left one after another, all looking forward to the upcoming semi-finals. Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng had a gloomy face and left the venue with Tang Ya, Yan Feng, Ma Xiaotao and several other substitutes from the Holy Spirit Sect. Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy with murderous intent.

Among the disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect who died this time, the Skeleton King Tang Dai, who was killed by Tang San with the Mother-Child Soul Chasing Gallbladder, was actually the direct disciple of Scorpion Tiger Douluo. (End of this chapter)
