Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 339 Victory, Dragon Valley

Om-!
The sharp water blades that were spinning rapidly around Bo Xi did not shoot out, but instead, like birds returning to their nests, instantly merged into the huge waterspout above his head!

The addition of water blades is like injecting countless high-speed spinning sharp blades into a raging waterspout.

Rumble——! ! !
The waterspout's rotation speed suddenly doubled, a piercing shriek tearing through the air, and the vacuum blades created by the water cutting through the air scattered everywhere.

The entire waterspout instantly transformed into a devastating meat grinder, its power several times greater than before. The terrifying suction caused the protective shield at the edge of the arena to emit a groan of impending destruction.

"Come and fight!"

Bo Xi leaned forward, controlling the super water tornado that had merged with the power of the surging waves and the killing intent, and crashed into Tang Wulin, who was holding the Golden Dragon Spear and was about to chase after Long Yue, with a destructive aura.

Tang Wulin's pupils shrank sharply. Faced with the water blade strangulation vortex that was more than fifteen meters in diameter and crushed down like a natural disaster, he had no way of touching Bo Xi, who was in the core of the waterspout and controlling everything.

The raging torrent of water, mixed with rapidly spinning blades, instantly engulfed him.

"Wu Lin!" the Shrek Academy fans on the sidelines exclaimed.

The terrifying cutting force, the impact of the high-pressure water flow, and the suffocating suction force instantly acted on Tang Wulin.

His immovable body made him immune to knockback and stun, but his soul power defense was also in jeopardy under such a violent and continuous attack!

The golden protective light flashed violently as the golden dragon claws and golden dragon spear frantically parried and slashed at the incoming water blades, producing a dense, explosive sound like raindrops hitting banana leaves.

He was pushed backward by the terrifying force, leaving two deep furrows under his feet, and was forced to the edge of the arena in the blink of an eye.

"Devour!" On the other side, Bai Yuan attempted to tear apart the raging waterspout with the power of the Abyss Gluttony.

However, this water tornado, which incorporated Bo Xi's fifth soul skill, contained such enormous and violent energy that the abyss's devouring speed could not keep up with its destructive and replenishing speed for a while.

The Devouring Domain could only barely tear a small gap at the edge of the vortex, unable to calm the entire storm.

Tang Wulin lacked wide-range attack methods and could only rely on the sharpness of the Golden Dragon Spear and his own strong physique to barely hold on.

His wounds continued to multiply, and blood kept seeping out, only to be instantly washed away by the raging torrent.

"Roar!" Tang Wulin let out an indomitable roar, and the Golden Dragon King bloodline was fully activated under the desperate situation.

He slammed the Golden Dragon Spear into the already shattered alloy arena beneath his feet. The spear shone with golden light, like a pillar that could stabilize the sea.

He gripped the spear shaft tightly with both hands, using the Golden Dragon Spear as a fulcrum, and unleashed terrifying power from his core, forcefully withstanding the terrifying propulsion of the waterspout.

"Stop... just now!"

His eyes were blood-gold, and his muscles were bulging, like a divine dragon wrestling with the immense power of heaven and earth. Despite the violent water blades cutting into his body and the high-pressure water jets impacting his internal organs, he actually managed to stabilize his body under the terrifying power of the waterspout and stopped retreating!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he began to walk.

Braving the raging torrents and sharp blades capable of shredding steel, and relying on the Golden Dragon Spear, he walked step by step, with immense difficulty yet unwavering determination, against the direction of the waterspout's rotation, toward the core of the destructive vortex.

Each step he took left a deep crater in the alloy floor, and added several more wounds to his body, staining the surrounding water red with blood.
This willpower and physique moved everyone present!
Bo Xi, who was in the core of the waterspout, clearly "saw" Tang Wulin's almost self-destructive act of going against the current.

His eyes flickered slightly, a barely perceptible ripple passing through them.

He subtly manipulated the raging water, not to attack, but to cleverly and imperceptibly collect and gather the blood flowing from Tang Wulin's body, which contained the aura of the Golden Dragon King...

Finally, under immense pressure, Tang Wulin rushed to a position extremely close to the core area of ​​Bo Xi.

"It's now!"

Tang Wulin's eyes flashed with golden light. He suddenly drew his Golden Dragon Spear and unleashed a powerful golden dragon claw with his left hand—"Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens!"

A golden claw shadow, condensed to its fullest extent, tore through the water. At the same time, countless blue-silver vines with golden patterns broke through the shattered ground and intertwined to form an array—"Blue-Silver-Golden Light Array!"

Dual Soul Skills Unleashed!

Boom! Snap!

The raging waterspout in the core area was briefly torn open by the combined forces from both inside and outside, revealing Bo Xi's figure clearly to Tang Wulin.

"break!"

Tang Wulin roared, and the golden dragon spear in his hand transformed into a golden lightning bolt that tore through space, piercing straight into Bo Xi's chest. Before the spear even arrived, the terrifying pressure originating from the Dragon God's essence made Bo Xi gasp for breath.

Bo Xi's eyes were serious, but his reaction was as fast as lightning.

He made a grasping motion with both hands, and the raging water around him instantly condensed into two incredibly thick, azure whips covered with spiraling water blades that spun at high speed in his hands!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The long whips, like two giant, living deep-sea serpents, lashed out wildly at Tang Wulin, who was lunging forward, with a piercing whistling sound and a high-speed, cutting force.
The whip's shadows were numerous, covering all his space to dodge.

"Clang! Sizzle!"

The Golden Dragon Spear was incomparably sharp, its tip precisely shattering the whip's shadow.

But the water whip shattered and then instantly reformed under Bo Xi's control.

Between the whip strikes, there were always tricky angles from which they would land on Tang Wulin.

Despite the Golden Dragon Spear's ability to block and his powerful physique to withstand the blows, each strike left deep, bone-revealing wounds, leaving him covered in blood.

Tang Wulin's offensive was thwarted, and he could only wield his spear to protect himself, resulting in a stalemate with the constantly regenerating water whips!
With his exquisite control over the water element and the near-limitless soul power replenishment provided by "Boundless Ocean", Bo Xi managed to block Tang Wulin, who was wielding a divine weapon.

The two clashed fiercely amidst the raging torrents of water remaining from the waterspout, their golden and blue lights colliding violently!
However, on the other side of the battlefield, the outcome had already been decided.

When Bo Xi was fully controlling the water tornado and his double whips to deal with Tang Wulin, his support and protection for Long Yue inevitably weakened. And his opponent was Bai Yuan at full power!
"It's over." Bai Yuan's icy voice rang out. In his Abyss Phantom form, his speed was at its peak, instantly shaking off the entanglement of the water tornado's aftershocks and appearing in front of Long Yue, whose aura was unstable and whose strength was limited by his bloodline suppression.

"Ultimate Devour!"

The abyssal glutton's maw opened wide, and a terrifying suction force instantly enveloped Long Yue.
Long Yue roared and swung his fist, but the force was like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

He was already greatly exhausted, and now he was powerless to resist Bai Yuan's ultimate devouring.

His soul power, along with some of his blood and vital energy, was frantically drained, causing his massive body to visibly wither and collapse to the ground, completely incapacitated. Having dealt with Long Yue, Bai Yuan didn't linger, his gaze fixed on the two locked in fierce combat at the core of the water tornado.
His figure flashed, like a ghost merging into the abyss, instantly appearing behind and to the side of Bo Xi.
The three-headed, six-armed form reappeared, with six giant hands covering the gaping maw, carrying the power to annihilate everything, slamming down on Bo Xi, who was fully controlling his double whips.

With the deadly threat of the Golden Dragon Spear in front and the devouring giant hand of the Abyss Glutton behind, Bo Xi was attacked from both sides.

A hint of helplessness and relief flashed in Bo Xi's eyes; he had done his best.

He used both whips to defend, attempting to block Bai Yuan's attack, while simultaneously shifting his body to the side at the extreme to avoid the sharpness of the Golden Dragon Spear.

Boom! Pfft!

Bai Yuan's gluttonous giant hand slammed down on the water whip that was returning to defend, and the terrifying devouring power instantly disintegrated most of the water whip.

Although it didn't directly hit Bo Xi, the dissipated force still caused his blood to surge and his movements to falter. Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear grazed his ribs, leaving a trail of blood!
Bo Xi grunted and staggered backward. The remaining waterspout above his head, having lost his powerful control, collapsed with a roar, turning into a torrential downpour.

He clutched the wound on his ribs, looked at Tang Wulin and Bai Yuan, who were locked onto him from the left and right, and then at Long Yue, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and the messy arena. Finally, he slowly raised his hand.

"Monster Academy concedes defeat." His voice was weary, yet also carried a hint of composure. Though defeated, he had earned enough dignity for the academy.

The referee breathed a sigh of relief and announced loudly, "In the team competition, Shrek Academy wins!"

In the Star Luo Empire's royal stands, Dai Tianling's face could no longer be described as ashen; it was almost deathly pale.

Enci, with his eyes closed, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. The other high-ranking members were even more ashen-faced. The nine Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy were completely crushed by Shrek Academy in both the individual and team competitions!

This is a disgrace the Star Luo Empire has never seen in nearly a century! It seems to suggest that their support for Monster Academy over the years has been nothing but a joke!

Although Bo Xi displayed amazing strength and fighting spirit, and his defeat was still honorable, the Star Luo Empire lost too badly and too thoroughly!
……

The Youth Soul Master Competition has finally come to a close. The team competition's prize—a precious piece of soul-forged metal—was claimed by the Shrek Academy students.

Back at the Star Luo Grand Hotel, the group was exhausted but filled with the joy of victory. Tang Wulin, after receiving further treatment from a healing-type Soul Master sent by the royal family, was no longer seriously injured thanks to the strength of his Golden Dragon King bloodline. However, due to excessive blood loss, he needed to rest for a few days.

A day later, Bai Yuan arrived as promised and took away a drop of Tang Wulin's original essence blood.

The golden-red blood, imbued with immense life force and terrifying dragon might, was carefully sealed by Bai Yuan using a specially crafted soul tool. The transaction was complete, and neither party spoke further.

Next, the Shrek Academy delegation will separate from the official team and travel around the Star Luo Continent as planned, immersing themselves in the local customs and traditions, and broadening their horizons and experiences.

Tang Wulin, on the other hand, received a secret mission from the Tang Sect.

On the outskirts of a hidden mountain range somewhere in the Star Luo Continent.

Gula's true form hovered above the clouds in the sky, its powerful telekinetic energy like an invisible spider web, enveloping a team traveling through the mountains and forests below—Tang Wulin's Tang Clan team.

His six clones arrived on the Star Luo Continent through various channels. At this moment, they were like the most perfect ghosts, silently hanging far away with the help of Gula's telekinesis and their own concealment abilities, without revealing a trace of their presence.

The Tang Clan team is led by a powerful individual codenamed "Black One".

The group stopped to rest in a secluded valley. Hei Yi looked at everyone with a serious expression, especially Tang Wulin, codenamed Bai San:
"The target location is in the valley ahead. Remember the rules: Dragon Valley has its own set of rules. The longer you stay, the greater the benefits you will receive. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"One thing must be remembered—no one may reveal the specific gains within the valley to anyone outside the valley. Anyone who violates this rule will be considered a traitor to the sect and will be severely punished and expelled from the Tang Sect!"

He paused, his tone becoming even more serious: "Furthermore, Dragon Valley has peculiar rules, allowing only Soul Masters below the Soul King level to enter. Once you break through to Soul King within the valley, you will be immediately expelled by the power of the rules, wasting your opportunity. Moreover, within the valley, your Martial Soul power will be greatly suppressed and cannot be used; you can only rely on your own blood, will, and physique."

Gula already knew these rules.

With a slight thought, he simultaneously began to seal himself in all seven bodies.

The powerful soul force fluctuations were forcibly suppressed back into his body, and his cultivation level rapidly declined, ultimately...

He had stabilized at the peak of the level 49 Soul Master. Prior to this, he had already released the power of the "Ancient Memory" Soul Skill several times in advance and stored it in the "Forest Sea Space*" that he had created.

Although his martial soul was suppressed, his essential power to control space and time remained, which was enough to ensure that he could open the "Forest Sea Space" and call up his stored soul skills normally under the Dragon Valley rules.

The next morning.

The Tang Clan team arrived at the end of what appeared to be an ordinary valley.

An elderly man dressed in Tang Clan attire was already waiting there.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Wu."

Hei Yi said respectfully.

Elder Wu nodded slightly, his expression solemn. He formed a hand seal, and powerful soul force surged forth from his body, transforming him into a giant blue Tyrannosaurus Rex, a full fifteen meters tall. The terrifying dragon's aura triggered the rules of Dragon Valley.

"Open!" Old Wu shouted in a low voice.

hum!
Above the void, ancient dragon-shaped runes lit up, exuding a vast and profound aura.

The space rippled out like water, and a portal emitting a soft white light, large enough for only a few people to walk side by side, slowly emerged—the entrance to Dragon Valley.

"Hurry up." Hei Yi shouted, and the Tang Clan members filed in, their figures disappearing through the doorway.

Just as the portal was about to close, seven illusory figures, invisible to the naked eye and soul power, seemingly merging into the space itself, followed the Tang Clan members silently into the spatial portal at an incredible speed and angle.

The speed was so fast that even Elder Wu, who was in charge of opening the portal, only felt a very faint and indescribable fluctuation in the space flash by. He thought it was a normal spatial ripple from the opening of Dragon Valley and did not investigate it further.

The entrance to Dragon Valley slowly closed, and the valley returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Hei Yi sighed, "I hope these little guys can get enough out of it. It's been decades since anyone brought out a soul bone from inside."

Old Wu remained silent, only shaking his head slightly.

No one knew that Gula and his six clones had successfully infiltrated the dragon cemetery, a small world controlled by the Tang Sect that was no less powerful than the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but unfortunately, it did not belong to them.

On the other side, Gu Yue and Di Tian forcibly opened another gap and entered Dragon Valley.
