Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 113 Semifinals, Xingluo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. (4K)

Ma Xiaotao, who was ready to go, looked at the Douling Team below who were waiting in full battle array. The fighting spirit in her eyes was as hot as the flames of a phoenix. Without any hesitation, she charged forward with a loud phoenix cry that resounded throughout the entire competition venue.

The Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike was fully activated!
The strong air shock slammed hard into the barrier formed by the giant diamond shield. Even though Qian Yuan gritted his teeth and blocked it, everyone in the Douling team, including him, was dazzled and dizzy by the shock wave.

For a moment, I couldn't even tell the directions.

This is not over yet. The second part of the fire column of Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike followed closely, and coupled with the Extreme Ice Sky Wrath performed by Ling Luochen, in an instant, the blizzard and flames hit the center of the Douling Team together.

Under the impact of extreme cold and heat, the Douling Team couldn't even put up an inch of resistance. The giant diamond shield only lasted for half a breath before it was completely shattered.

Qian Yuan and Chi Hengyu's strong bodies flew backwards, knocking Gu Zhu Jian and several other team members who were still trying their best to resist the attack out of the competition field.

Instant kill!

Outside the field, Gu Zhujian, lying on the ground, struggled to push away his teammates who were pressing on him. He looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was looking so majestic in the sky, with despair in his eyes, feeling unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

In just one round, the seven of them were crushed by the two opponents, and they were defeated without even using their carefully prepared trump cards.

Perhaps the moment they drew Shrek Academy in the draw yesterday, the outcome was already decided, and everything they did thereafter would only serve as a foil to highlight Shrek's strength.

In the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong were both looking at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen with serious eyes.

Ma Rulong sighed secretly and said, "I knew it. Shrek Academy must have a trump card that has not been revealed yet. Soul Emperor realm, Phoenix Martial Spirit, this kind of strength in a competition like this, what's the difference between that and cheating?"

"And this doesn't even include the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke. Even if his strength isn't as good as this girl's, it's probably not much lower. Smile, your next match might be very difficult."

"That's right, but no matter how powerful this girl is, in my eyes, her biggest opponent is only Mo Yuan. The rest will only be stepping stones on our road to victory."

Xiao Hongchen shifted his gaze from Ma Xiaotao and turned to look at Mo Yuan who was slowly walking off the stage, with fighting spirit rising in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong's eyes showed a strange look, and he looked at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen thoughtfully. At this time, the brother and sister's eyes fell on Mo Yuan.

Although the emotions revealed in the two people's eyes were different and their starting points were also different, the same thing was that they both devoted their hearts to Mo Yuan.

After watching for a while, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Ma Rulong's mind: Is there something going on between Mo Yuan and the Hongchen family?
……

On the other side, at Shrek Academy, as Mo Yuan expected, when everyone just returned to the conference room of the Star King Hotel.

An angry Wang Yan questioned Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen why they did not carry out the plan and instead exposed their own strength in advance.

Seeing this scene, Xu Sanshi and several other outer court disciples who knew Ma Xiaotao's character immediately found an excuse to leave the meeting room.

Fearing that the hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao would beat them up as well, only Dai Yuheng and Mo Yuan dared to stay here.
As expected, facing Wang Yan's questioning and scolding, Ma Xiaotao got angry and refuted him directly without any hesitation before he could finish his second sentence.

In her eyes, teamwork and the idea that team operations are stronger than individuals are all bullshit. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong.

Now, the two people who both felt that they had done nothing wrong started arguing with each other, and Wang Yan also became unusually tough because the championship was at stake.

But at least he knew his own strength, so he never grasped the right degree and did not let Ma Xiaotao beat him up in anger.

As for Ling Luochen, she simply ignored Wang Yan at the beginning. When the two started arguing, she came to the table and sat down next to Mo Yuan.

"Mo Yuan, do you think Ma Xiaotao and I were right or wrong in what happened just now?" Ling Luochen peeled an orange and handed it to Mo Yuan beside him, and asked suddenly.

"Hmm? Is it right or wrong?"

Mo Yuan took the orange and ate it while thinking about this question.

He felt it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong among Wang Yan, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. If it were a world without supernatural powers, then Wang Yan would definitely be right.

But if in Douluo Continent, where one person can be powerful enough to control the entire world, it must be Ma Xiaotao.

But if either party asked him this question, he would always have only one answer.

"You are right."

A perfect answer, definitely the best non-stick pan in Douluo Continent. After saying that, Mo Yuan turned around and found that Ma Xiaotao wanted to take action because she couldn't argue with Wang Yan.

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Mo Yuan and Ling Luochen quickly stood up and prepared to pull the two apart.

"Hey, Pengyou, fighting is fighting, but give me some air."

"Let go, or my fist will be as fast as a soul cannon."

……

The next day, the individual competition between Shrek Academy and the Battle Spirit Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy officially began.

Although Wang Yan and Ma Xiaotao's unpleasantness yesterday was resolved by Mo Yuan's fist and the two successfully shook hands and reconciled, Ma Xiaotao's temper was clear to everyone. If she was not allowed to vent her anger, who knew how much trouble would arise next.

So Wang Yan had to take a step back for the sake of the overall situation and let Ma Xiaotao complete the individual competition alone.

So when the Douling Team, which is lacking in both strength and morale, encounters the furious Ma Xiaotao, the outcome is no longer a foregone conclusion.

All I can say is that the attack was extremely cruel.

The defeat of the Douling team also symbolized that Shrek Academy was the first team to advance to the quarterfinals. On the same night, Wang Yan was lucky enough to draw a team that was not one of the four empire seed teams.

In terms of strength, it is only slightly stronger than its previous rival, Zhengtian Academy. There are only four Soul Kings in the team, so the result can be imagined.

With the support of Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, the Shrek team can basically kill everyone except the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The team battle was still fought by Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, but this time the two of them were obviously more restrained and did not show too much strength, but they still defeated all the opponents by two against seven.

As for the individual competition, Wang Yan originally wanted Mo Yuan to play, but Mo Yuan declined in the end. Now that Ma Xiaotao and the others are willing to contribute, why should he find trouble for himself?
Similarly, Ma Xiaotao won the individual competition in the end, which made her very happy and all the depression in her heart dissipated.

Shrek Academy's crushing victory was a feast for the eyes of nearly 100,000 spectators in the stands, and they were thrilled. Shrek Academy's momentum once again reached its peak. The quarterfinals concluded with the final four teams: Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Xingluo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, and the Celestial Soul Empire's seed team, the Celestial Soul Royal Di'ao Academy.

When Mo Yuan heard about the top four teams this time, he was a little confused. He was quite familiar with the first three teams, but what the hell was this last one, the Di Ao Academy?

Are all the names so 'unique'?

On the morning of the semi-finals, golden sunlight pierced through the morning mist and fell on the broad Xingluo Square, like the lights of a stage play, attracting the attention of the entire city.

In the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, Wang Yan, as usual, spoke to calm the nervous reserve team members, and then talked about the game plan for the semi-finals.

"Honestly, at this point in the semifinals, tactics no longer play a big role. It all depends on the players' individual strength and the tacit cooperation between them. As the team leader, all I can do now is to cheer everyone up and support them. I want you to know that no matter what happens, you have me and the academy behind you."

"Now, let us step onto the field together, win the game, and tell everyone on the continent that the glory of Shrek Academy will be continued by us once again!"

After the passionate speech, except for Mo Yuan who remained calm, even Ma Xiaotao, who had a conflict with Wang Yan, couldn't help but get excited and felt her blood boiling.

After that, amidst the thunderous cheers of nearly 100,000 spectators, the four teams that finally advanced to the semi-finals came to the center of the arena at the same time.

The division of the semi-finals will not be determined in advance, but will be decided by a draw on the spot by Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei to ensure the greatest fairness, justice and openness.

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jiawei announced in a serious tone,

"Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, semi-finals, first match, Shrek Academy vs. Xingluo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"The second match is between the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Sky Soul Royal Di'ao Academy."

After Xu Jiawei announced the team divisions for the semi-finals, he turned his gaze towards Shrek Academy. To be more precise, he was looking at Mo Yuan.

Thinking of Mo Yuan's incredible talent, Xu Jiawei's eyes showed a hint of strong desire. Then he restrained the emotions in his eyes and turned to look at his sister Xu Jiujiu who was standing beside him.

At this time, Xu Jiujiu took off those gorgeous and finely crafted long skirts and changed into a tight yellow suit. She tied her hair into a high ponytail, looking heroic and like a female general.

"Sister, go ahead. Shrek is certainly a difficult opponent to defeat, but as the pride of the empire, we will never admit defeat."

"Let the world see the power of the Star Crown Martial Spirit inherited by our Xu family."

……

Soon all four teams withdrew from the competition field and returned to the rest area to prepare for the next game.

At the same time, many people discovered that the referee of this competition had changed. It was no longer the earth-attributed Soul Douluo, but Huang Jinxu, the Tiansha Douluo of the Xingluo Worship Hall.

This is not a problem. After all, in the upcoming games, each team is strong and any carelessness during the battle may lead to serious consequences.

Therefore, ordinary Soul Douluo can no longer fully control the overall situation, and only Titled Douluo has the confidence to ensure the personal safety of every player in the field.

After everything was ready, under the host's introduction, the seven members of Shrek Academy, led by Mo Yuan, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Ning Tian, ​​Xu Sanshi, and Beibei, stepped onto the competition venue.

On the other side, at the Xingluo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, a team of seven also came to the competition field under the leadership of Xu Jiujiu, and both teams gathered in the center of the field.

Looking at the two teams on the field, the cheers of nearly 100,000 spectators in the stands suddenly paused. The next second, the name "Xingluo" was added to the cheers that originally only included "Shrek".

The nearly 100,000 spectators were divided into two groups. Most of those who continued to cheer for Shrek were from other empires, while those who cheered for the Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy were basically the people of the Star Luo Empire.

After all, as long as their own team is not too bad or too embarrassing, normal people will still support their own country's team.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Mo Yuan standing opposite him, a faint smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his right hand towards Mo Yuan and said.

"I'm very happy to have a match with you next time. No matter what the result is, I hope we can become friends after the match."

Seeing this, Ling Luochen, who was standing next to Mo Yuan, immediately reached out and held Xu Jiujiu's hand. At the same time, Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and said in a cold tone,
"The competition is easy to talk about, but as for friendship, it depends on whether you have the ability."

The expression on Xu Jiujiu's face slowly solidified, and a flash of anger flashed across his eyes. Tiansha Douluo on the high platform saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess was treated like this. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he immediately announced that the game was about to begin and asked both teams to return to the two sides of the competition venue.

After a brief confrontation, the air was already filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. The two teams retreated to the sides, and their formations changed quietly on the way back.

On Xingluo's side, Xu Jiujiu was at the back of the team, and was firmly protected by all the team members behind him. There were the largest number of people in the middle, five in total, and at the front there was only one person, just like Xu Jiujiu.

It appears in a diamond shape when viewed from the sky.

But the situation on Shrek's side is completely different. Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, and Mo Yuan, the three strongest attack-type soul masters, are at the front. Control-type soul masters Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi are in the middle of the team. At the back is naturally the support-type soul master Ning Tian.

"Xu Sanshi, let Xu Jiujiu and I switch places at the beginning. You guys deal with Xu Jiujiu, and I will deal with the six people on the opposite side." Ma Xiaotao rubbed his fists and said to Xu Sanshi without turning his head.

Xu Sanshi looked embarrassed. "Senior Xiaotao, this isn't good. According to the plan, I should wait and see what happens in the back. It's best not to take action first."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao immediately wanted to threaten Xu Sanshi to force him to listen to her, but at this moment Mo Yuan spoke.

"Listen to Xu Sanshi. Don't change Xu Jiujiu at the beginning, and don't change anything else. Your soul skills can't change her."

"Can't change it? Brother Mo, how did you know this information? Could it be..."

Xu Sanshi looked at Mo Yuan with a teasing look, then looked at Xu Jiujiu opposite him, his meaning was self-evident.

Mo Yuan showed a kind smile on his face and reached out to pat Xu Sanshi on the shoulder.

"I think your skin has been itchy lately. If you feel uncomfortable, I can loosen it for you for free."

"..."

While the two were having a friendly conversation, Tiansha Douluo glanced at everyone in the arena with a cold expression, then a black light flashed, and he soared into the sky and disappeared from sight in an instant, leaving only a cold and stiff word echoing in the arena.

"Game start!"
