Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 227: The Demonic Style, an Interlude During Registration

In the Sun-Moon Empire, at the Holy Spirit Cult's main base in Mingdu, Lin Yi, who had transformed into a life demon, was looking at the team members who were about to participate in the competition with him.

There are seven people in total, yes, seven.

Obviously, Zhongli Wu did not take Lin Yi into account, but this is also normal. For Zhongli Wu, Lin Yi, the Holy Son of Fate Demon, just needs to show up. More importantly, he is just an insurance. The battle between Lin Yi and the Fate Demon outside Shrek City that year was enough to prove the strength of the Holy Son of Fate Demon.

Lin Yi naturally didn't care. He came to the Holy Spirit Church only to complete the divine test and, with the help of the Holy Spirit Church, to control the sun and the moon.

Lin Yi has not made up his mind whether to unify the continent or not, but whether or not and whether or not are two different concepts. Lin Yi must at least make sure that if he wants to, there will be enough power to cooperate with him.

Besides, I'm just sitting around doing nothing.

Without the shadow of Tang San, Lin Yi has become visibly lazier during this period.

For this competition, Zhongli Wu has registered the Holy Spirit Church under the new name of Holy Spirit Sect. Although this name has been defined as an evil soul master sect because of Lin Yi, the Holy Spirit Church, which has made up its mind to come out into the world, obviously does not care about these things.

As for the organizer of the competition, the Sun-Moon Empire, the fact that it proclaimed the Holy Spirit Church as the state religion and even honored Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, as the state teacher has already shown that the Sun-Moon Empire does not care about these things.

From this, it can be seen that the Sun-Moon Empire has almost stopped concealing its intention to start a war.

It's just that the Tianyue Empire still has internal troubles that have not been resolved, which is why the continent is temporarily stable.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

Zhongli Wu did not tell Lin Yi much about the future plans of the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun-Moon Empire. He just asked Lin Yi to take care of this competition first.

Lin Yi knew that his identity as the Son of God was still a little lacking, or in other words, the strength of the Seven Rings was not enough to attract enough attention.

And to be honest, Lin Yi really doesn't care about what conspiracy the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun-Moon Empire may have.

In this continent, strength is respected. No matter what unknown intentions the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun-Moon Empire have, Lin Yi is confident that with his current strength, he is able to deal with them.

Since Zhongli Wu said to focus on the competition first, then let’s focus on the competition first.

Looking at the contestants sent by the Holy Spirit Church, Beibei's White Moonlight, the Blue Silver Saint Tang Ya was among them. Lin Yi reminded himself that he must pay attention to Tang Ya's safety. He had already promised Beibei that he would get Tang Ya back to him after the competition.

Apart from Tang Ya, there is only one other person worth noting.

That was Zhongli Wu’s disciple, Yan Feng, whose martial spirit was the Bone Dragon.

Lin Yi had a slight impression of this person, having probably met him a few times.

When we met again this time, I didn't expect that I had already reached the seventh ring.

However, evil soul masters are different from ordinary soul masters. Yan Feng must have used a lot of evil methods to become a soul saint. He must be different from Beibei, who achieved his success through self-cultivation and chance.

Moreover, the bone dragon...

Thinking of what Zhongli Wu once said about his trump card being a bone dragon king, Lin Yi understood why Yan Feng could become his disciple.

For a Soul Sage under the age of twenty, Yan Feng’s talent is undeniable, even if he has used evil methods. Even Bei Bei relied on the external force of the magic grass, right?

However, in Lin Yi's eyes, Yan Feng was already a dead man.

It was his fault that he arrived at such an unfortunate time. Lin Yi needed an evil soul master of the same level to take the test of light and darkness.

The reason why they didn't act immediately was, one, to stabilize Zhongli Wu, and the other, to give Beibei some experience.

As soul masters with the same dragon-type martial soul and the same level of cultivation, but with different attributes, Yan Feng is a perfect opponent for Beibei.

Lin Yi was also very worried about his great-grandson.

However, seven people is still a bit too many.

The Holy Spirit Church has no reserve team, which means that the regular team plus Lin Yi has eight people. How can this be possible?

The Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church are allies. This competition is being hosted by the Sun-Moon Empire, their ally. Allowing the Holy Spirit Church, an evil soul master sect, to participate has already put a lot of pressure on the ally. How could the Holy Spirit Church be so disregardful of the rules?

Isn't this a slap in the face of our allies?

That's not how it works.

Lin Yi's eyes swept across the seven people's faces one by one, and he felt a little nervous instinctively when he looked at them.

Lin Yi smiled softly and waved his hands, "Everyone, relax. I don't eat people. Am I really that scary?"

Except for Tang Ya who had no reaction and Yan Feng who relaxed in response, the other five people still looked at Lin Yi with some fear.

Although the Holy Son of Fate Demon has been in seclusion for more than a year, his fame has not diminished at all.

Everyone knew about the feat of nearly clearing out the stronghold.

Yan Feng was able to relax because he was Zhongli Wu's disciple. No matter how crazy the Son of God was, he would not attack him. It goes without saying that Tang Ya was a saint, and the remaining five people did not have such high status.

Although the talent is good, for evil soul masters, only those who have grown up are considered geniuses, and those who have not grown up are just reserve resources.

Especially, in front of the Fate Demon Saint Son, whose talent is comparable to Shrek’s number one genius in ten thousand years, their talent is really not considered talent.

Seeing the harmonious appearance of the Son of God, the five people did not relax but became even more nervous.

According to legend, this is a sign that the Son of God is about to eat.

Devouring the Son of God's vitality is no different from eating people.

Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't force it and just treated it as a casual chat.

"So you have also discovered that there is one more participant from our sect this time. After all, this is organized by the Sun-Moon Empire. As an ally, it would be embarrassing for us to do this."

Tang Ya didn't say anything. Besides, strictly speaking, the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter had the same status. There was no situation where the Holy Daughter was shorter than the Holy Son, so there was no requirement to speak.

The other five people were silent as a mouse, and it was already very difficult for them to remain standing. Perhaps only Yan Feng still had some confidence.

"What does the Holy Son mean?"

"Remove one person. We already have a team of seven. What will happen if we have one more person?"

Yan Feng was stunned. These people were selected and reported to his teacher, and were personally confirmed by Zhongli Wu as the contestants. He didn't dare to agree with Lin Yi's words.

The master-disciple relationship of an evil soul master is not like that of an ordinary soul master. If one says the wrong thing, one may end up with his head and body being separated.

Seeing that Yan Feng didn't say anything, Lin Yi didn't care and continued to glance at the five people.

After a long time, Lin Yi's eyes finally locked on one of them.

"Your name is Jili?"

Jili's face turned pale in an instant, his whole body stiffened, and his teeth kept chattering, but he didn't dare to refuse Lin Yi's question.

"Yes, Son of God."

Lin Yi smiled.

"Don't be nervous, your name is interesting and auspicious... I wonder if it can bring good luck to my Holy Church."

Hearing this, Jili thought that his name was just a way to please people. Not only was he not eaten by the Son of God, but he was also remembered by him. Maybe he could get some benefits from it. He smiled apologetically and said, "Son of God, you are embarrassing me. The Holy Church has you here. Why does it need my name to make up the numbers?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng glanced at Jili with some disdain.

Even for an evil soul master, this is a bit too embarrassing.

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

"You have a point. The Holy Church still has this Holy Son..."

Before everyone could react, a branch had already stretched out from Lin Yi's palm, and in front of Jili's horrified gaze, he pierced it with one blow.

Then Lin Yi's words slowly echoed in everyone's ears.

"...why do we need your auspicious name to make up the numbers?"

Even though the evil reputation of the Fate Demon Saint had already spread throughout the sect, no one had expected that Lin Yi would actually take action, and even kill him.

Feeling his life force draining away like crazy, a feeling of weakness spread throughout his body. Knowing that he would not survive, Ji Li's evil spirit master's murderous nature was completely aroused.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings appeared, and the sixth soul ring lit up instantly. Ji Li, whose martial soul had already been possessed, exerted his strongest strength beyond his normal level in the crisis of life and death.

Jili stretched out his ugly fangs, and a long scarlet tongue shot towards Lin Yi.

This is Jili's sixth soul skill and also Jili's strongest attack soul skill: Scarlet Whip.

Lin Yi had amazing eyesight and strong mental strength, so he recognized Ji Li's martial soul at a glance. It was a nearly extinct soul beast, a brain-eating beast, which lived by sucking the brains of living creatures.

That long tongue is the brain-eating beast's strongest means of attack. The long tongue is hollow, like a straw, making it convenient for the brain-eating beast to suck brain marrow.

This tongue accounts for most of the credit for Jili becoming a six-ringed Soul Emperor at this age. His sixth soul skill is precisely what amplifies this natural attack method, allowing Jili to easily suck the brain of his opponent.

Unfortunately, this time he encountered Lin Yi. Even his final attack was only possible because Lin Yi deliberately controlled the rate at which he absorbed life force; how could such an attack possibly harm Lin Yi?

The branch that pierced his body suddenly exerted force, and the devouring power burst out, sucking him dry in an instant. The long tongue stopped completely half a meter away from Lin Yi, and then, along with Jili's body, it turned into debris on the ground.

After absorbing Jili's vitality, Lin Yi frowned and spit out all the vitality, muttering a few words.

However, most of the remaining six people were Soul Emperors or even Soul Saints. At such a close distance, even if Lin Yi was muttering, they could hear it clearly.

"Why does this vitality taste so bad? I was able to eat the sixth-ring ones before. Is it because my cultivation has improved or have I eaten too much? Forget it, I won't eat anything below the seventh ring from now on. It's not disgusting enough..."

There weren't many words, but their meaning made people feel nervous.

However, the other four people breathed a sigh of relief almost instantly. As long as they didn't eat the Seven Rings, it was fine.

As evil soul masters, they had never been so grateful for their weak cultivation. Today was the first time they had taken advantage of their low cultivation level.

On the contrary, Yan Feng's expression suddenly turned ugly.

But then he thought again, after all, he was the disciple of the leader Zhongli Wu, and also one of the team members participating in this competition. If he was killed, they would not be able to form a seven-man team.

Holy Son, you shouldn't have any ideas about me, right?

Yan Feng, who had just finished comforting himself, had just finished preparing himself mentally when he looked up and saw the Holy Son looking at him with blazing eyes...

Lin Yi didn't attack Yan Feng after all, as he said he wanted to give Bei Bei some training.

Time passed slowly, and the competition, which was renamed the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition because sects were allowed to participate, was finally about to begin.

This competition was the most grand one in thousands of years. Even though the Sun-Moon Empire had raised the entry standard to require a team to have at least five Soul Masters, there were still 167 teams that met the entry standards.

Compared with the previous session, the number is too much more, and the strength of the sects on the Douluo Continent can be imagined.

Even the Sun-Moon Empire, the most powerful and richest of the four nations, put in a lot of effort to host this competition.

After all, in addition to gaining fame, making money is also an important purpose of holding such a competition.

However, for the Sun-Moon Empire, making money has become secondary compared to the ultimate goal.

Even so, the Sun-Moon Empire started preparations three months in advance, including the expansion of the hotel, the arrangement of the stadium, etc. Making money is secondary, but it is not unimportant.

At the same time, the prizes provided by the Sun-Moon Empire for the competition also caused quite a stir.

The champion gets a ninth-level soul guide, the runner-up gets an eighth-level soul guide, and the third-place winner gets a seventh-level soul guide. Compared to the previously accepted soul bones, such high-level soul guides are much more valuable.

Especially the ninth-level soul guide device. A few years ago, it was exclusive to the Sun-Moon Empire. Although Lin Qingxuan has now broken through to the ninth-level soul guide device, it has been kept secret until now. On the surface, the only one who can produce a ninth-level soul guide device is still the Sun-Moon Empire.

The generosity of the Sun-Moon Empire is also one of the reasons why this competition can attract so many participating teams.

It was under such circumstances that the registration office was located in the Mingyue Hotel, which was specially prepared for the participating teams of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Shrek and his party walked in slowly.

As the top academy on the continent for countless times, Shrek's dark green school uniform is already eye-catching, but this time, in addition to the school uniform, there is another strange feature that makes them turn heads.

That was the figure sitting in a wheelchair in the team.

Shrek is out of people? Send a disabled person to compete?
This is the first thought of most people.

But then, reason told them that this was impossible. Shrek Academy was full of geniuses, so how could such a situation occur?

Moreover, many of the participating teams knew about the situation of the previous competition. Lin Yi, who was known as the continent's number one genius in ten thousand years and who single-handedly won the final of the individual competition and was recently reported to have become the leader of the Golden Pavilion, still met the registration age requirement for this competition.

However, it is still unknown whether he will participate in the competition in his current capacity.

If that person were there, it would not be incomprehensible for Shrek to send out a disabled person.

No matter what, when the Shrek team registered, it really attracted a lot of attention.

And this special person is naturally Huo Yuhao, the former son of luck, who became disabled after going to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to collect herbs.

After Huo Yuhao's injuries were healed by Lin Yi, in order to prevent him from being paralyzed in bed forever, he could only slowly absorb the pure ice-attributed energy of heaven and earth. Lin Yi sealed it all in Huo Yuhao's legs. Although he had difficulty moving, at least his hands could still move, and he could be intimate with Wang Donger.

Moreover, Lin Yi did not waste any effort on Huo Yuhao, who lost his status as the Son of Fortune because Lin Yi became the Lord of the Plane.

He personally took the golden branches of ancient trees from the Sea God Pavilion's inventory and made the wheelchair that Huo Yuhao is sitting on now.

After the Golden Ancient Tree evolved into the current World Ancient Tree, its branches were used less and less.

Lin Yi also came to this competition, but not his real body. His real body was still in the Holy Spirit Church. The one with Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao and others was just Lin Yi's clone.

Because there is no need for cultivation, the consciousness of this clone is always connected to the original body, and now all the actions of this clone are controlled by Lin Yi.

After entering the hall, Lin Yi took the wheelchair from Wang Donger and pushed it for Huo Yuhao himself.

Although Wang Dong'er was puzzled, after the last incident, Wang Dong'er inexplicably felt a little guilty towards Lin Yi and no longer confronted Lin Yi as sharply as before.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head to study the core formation of a soul guide device. There was soul guide device information left by Lin Qingxuan, the newly promoted ninth-level soul guide, and Xuan Ziwen. These days, Huo Yuhao, in addition to practicing, has been studying soul guide devices. He was so hardworking that he didn't notice that the person pushing the wheelchair behind him had changed.

Shrek did not send a leader this time. If we have to say there is one, then Lin Yi is the leader.

As the leader of the pavilion, no one dared to argue with him when he said he wanted to be the team leader.

However, the Sun-Moon Empire is indeed dangerous for the Shrek team members. In addition to the previously confirmed secret protection of Old Song, Xuanzi, the newly promoted Extreme Douluo, was also sent out.

Moon gave a strict order that if any accident occurred, Xuanzi would cover the rear, and Old Song would take Beibei and the others and run away. In addition to covering the rear, Xuanzi was not allowed to stay away from Beibei and the others even a step!
In special circumstances, Lin Yi can be thrown out to delay time.

In front of this Holy Dragon of Light, Lin Yi's physical clone that could exist independently was not hidden after all.

Only after knowing that Lin Yi's true body was still in the Holy Spirit Church did Moon give such a somewhat absurd order.

In the registration hall, Xu Sanshi and the others were startled when they saw Lin Yi pushing Huo Yuhao away.

Only Beibei's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

Facing Wang Dong'er's puzzled gaze, Beibei didn't know what to say and could only cough lightly a few times.

"Just keep watching."

Since the registration had been completed, everyone had rested for a while outside Mingdu City. They were not in a hurry to go to the hotel to rest, so they just watched with Wang Donger.

Then, they saw Lin Yi pushing Huo Yuhao directly to the vicinity of an all-female team. The team was gathered together, laughing and talking about something. When they saw Lin Yi pushing Huo Yuhao over, they stopped talking and looked at this strange combination in confusion.

Lin Yi placed the wheelchair in front of the girls and bowed to them. For the sake of the Shrek school uniform, the girls did not resist.

Afterwards, everyone saw Lin Yi doing something in the wheelchair, and then turned around and went back.

Huo Yuhao was still studying his core magic formation.

Seeing the smile in Lin Yi's eyes still lingering when he returned, Bei Bei felt more helpless.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao also discovered something wrong. Spiritual soul masters are naturally sensitive, not to mention being stared at by several girls. He looked up with a little vigilance and saw several unfamiliar girls looking at him with a smile.

He subconsciously looked around, but he couldn't see Wang Dong'er and the others anywhere, and he was obviously in another team's position.

Almost instantly, Huo Yuhao's face, which could definitely be called handsome, flushed red. He was still holding the core magic circle in his hand and was about to push the wheelchair, but Lin Yi had already blocked the wheelchair, so how could he push it?

Huo Yuhao, whose thoughts were almost incoherent, stood up subconsciously, but his legs were not good enough for walking and he was unable to move for a while.

People are always busy when they are embarrassed. Huo Yuhao's face flushed as he touched the wheelchair up and down, and the smiles on the faces of the girls who saw him became more and more obvious.

In a hurry, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to use the method of controlling a crane and capturing a dragon to pull and suck, slowly moving away, leaving behind the girls who were laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter.

On Lin Yi's side, everyone was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Beibei looked at Wang Donger apologetically, apologizing for his unscrupulous brother.

After some effort, Huo Yuhao finally managed to get back to the team. Wang Donger stepped forward to untie Lin Yi's means. The freed Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up and glared at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi raised his hand and looked at the decoration on the ceiling...

Well, whoever designed this hotel had some taste.

After watching the whole process, Xu Sanshi sighed subconsciously, "Let's not talk about whether it's harmful to friends or not, this guy is a real bastard."

This sentence caused everyone, including Huo Yuhao, to nod their heads repeatedly. Lin Yi looked at the stone with dissatisfaction, which made the defensive soul master, whose strength had improved significantly, feel a chill on the back of his neck.

Then he met Lin Yi's unfriendly gaze, and Xu Sanshi realized who he was talking about. He thought he was in trouble and quickly hid behind Jiang Nannan.

This made Jiang Nannan roll her eyes, but after knowing how much this guy cared for her mother, Jiang Nannan, who had untied the knot in her heart, finally softened her heart and protected him behind her.

As the noise was going on, a cold and gloomy aura suddenly appeared in the hall.

The restraint in attributes and the advantage in soul power allowed Beibei to quickly lock onto the source of the cold aura.

Then, a figure that Beibei had been dreaming about appeared before her eyes...
