Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 231 Soul Instructor Competition, Fighting Sun and Moon Again
The violent golden thunder and the blazing flames suddenly collided.

The next moment, the surging air waves scattered in all directions, and the scattered thunder and exploding flames made it impossible to see the situation on the field clearly.

But relying on the seven-in-one martial soul combination skills, the fact that several Soul Kings and Soul Sect members of the Tianjia Sect were able to withstand the full force attack of the Soul Saint Beibei was already eye-catching enough.

Before the thunder and flames in the arena dissipated, the scattered arcs of lightning on the competition stage suddenly became agitated again and gathered madly towards the arena.

It’s Beibei.

Compared to Beibei who controls his soul power as easily as his own arms and fingers, it is obviously much more difficult to control the seven people of Tianjia Sect who rely on the seven-in-one martial soul combination skills to fight across levels.

At this time, the situation on the field gradually became clear. It could be seen that Beibei clenched his right fist, and dazzling golden thunder gathered in his hand, gradually turning into the shape of a dragon head.

This is Beibei’s self-created soul skill: Thunder Dragon Head.

Its power is slightly weaker than the Minghuang Thunderbolt given to him by Lin Yi, but because it is completely self-created, it is smoother to use.

Furthermore, the charging time is much shorter.

Before the seven people from the Tianjia Sect could recover, Beibei had already punched out, and the golden dragon head rushed straight towards the huge Tianjia shield of the Tianjia Sect.

Han Jian, the captain of the Tianjiao Sect, only had time to have his teammates activate their first soul skill together.

In front of the seven people, the huge Sky Armor Shield suddenly became like a mirror. This was a soul skill similar to energy defense and counterattack.

But at this moment, facing Beibei's charged attack, how could they resist it with their hastily activated soul skills?

The golden dragon head crashed into the huge Sky Armor Shield, and it seemed as if it raised its head and roared like a dragon. The next moment, the Sky Armor Shield shattered and turned into a sky full of armor pieces, which reassembled and returned to the hands of the seven people.

The golden dragon head that broke through the huge Tianjia shield did not completely dissipate, but suddenly exploded and turned into a golden lightning net, covering all seven people from the Tianjia Sect.

This is the Thunder Dragon Head created by Beibei. It has a two-stage attack, influenced by Lin Yi, and highlights its convenience and practicality.

The seven people from the Tianjiao Sect, who had consumed a huge amount of soul power and energy, had no time to resist and were stunned by the thunder and lightning.

The referee announced the result of the match in due time.

Shrek won the team competition with only Beibei on the field.

There was sparse applause from the audience. After Shrek displayed such strength, no one could boo him with a clear conscience.

When Beibei left the field, he glanced in the direction of the Holy Spirit Sect, as if responding and also provoking.

This was a special instruction from the Shrek people. They must not let the life demon of the Holy Spirit Sect become arrogant.

Lin Yi and Bei Bei, who knew the truth, could not tell the truth, so they could only do as they were told.

Previously, the Life Demon showed his seventh-ring cultivation level, defeating seven opponents in the individual elimination round and giving his opponents no chance in the team competition.

After showing his ability to defeat seven opponents at once, Beibei took the initiative to start a team battle and won the game by defeating seven opponents at the same time.

It not only demonstrates Shrek's strength, but also gives opponents more opportunities to show off.

In addition to the suppression in terms of strength, it also demonstrated the demeanor of the No. 1 Academy for ten thousand years, and crushed the Holy Spirit Sect in all aspects.

Just by looking at the seven people from Tianjiao Sect who came to shake hands with Beibei after their paralysis was relieved, you can tell that they lost this battle wholeheartedly.

In the first game of the second round of the elimination match, Shrek used its strength and grace to tell everyone why Shrek has been the number one academy for thousands of years.

And what is Shrek under the governance of Lin Yi, the leader of the Golden Pavilion?

Strong, yet humble and polite, able to bend down.

This is the impression Lin Yi left on the world.

Shrek's game is over, but the rest of the games are still going on.

Among them, of course, was the Holy Spirit Sect. In the subsequent battles, it was still the Holy Son of Life Demon who took action, easily defeating the opponent and seriously injuring him.

But he acted with great discretion, injuring but not killing, and he judged the scale very well. It was frightening, but not enough to provide substantial evidence to accuse people of intentional homicide.

The teams fighting against the Holy Spirit Sect were gritting their teeth in hatred, but the Seven-Ring Soul Saint was too invincible in such a competition.

But this competition has indeed attracted a lot of attention. Up to now, there are already three people who have been confirmed to have reached the seventh ring level.

This is a grand occasion that has not happened in many years.

In addition to the Life Demon and Beibei, there is also Lin Yi, His Majesty the Righteous Crowned Master, the Master of the Shrek Golden Pavilion who was crowned with the title as a Seven-Ringed Body.

According to Shrek himself, although Lin Yi only has the seventh ring of cultivation, his strength is not weaker than that of a Titled Douluo. This is why Lin Yi, who is only seven rings strong, is given the title of "Zhengji".

No one knows Lin Yi's true strength, but Bei Bei's strength is obvious to all.

A life demon and a Beibei, they killed all the opponents in the elimination match and ended a battle by themselves.

After three rounds of elimination, Beibei and Mingyao led Shrek Academy and Holy Spirit Sect to advance strongly.

The two are also recognized as the top three strongest players in this competition.

There is another person, Lin Yi.

Although Lin Yi did not participate in the competition, the legend of Lin Yi is everywhere in the world.

After the knockout round, the round-robin tournament will begin. In addition to the 21 teams that advance directly, another 21 teams will be selected based on the points ranking to enter the subsequent round-robin tournament.

Shrek Academy and Holy Spirit Sect have two Soul Saints, Beibei and Mingyao, competing, so it is natural that they will get the spots for promotion.

However, there is a small episode.

After hearing some news from Cai Tou and meeting Huo Yuhao, they went to find Lin Yi together.

"You guys are going to participate in the underground soul mentor competition together?"

"It's the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition," Huo Yuhao muttered softly.

Lin Yi glanced at him, and Huo Yuhao shut up obediently.

He Caitou then said innocently, "This is a soul guide competition held by the three major underground forces in Mingdu. Yuhao and I originally wanted to take some rare metals back from Mingdu, even if they were more expensive on the black market. But after careful investigation, we found out that all the rare metals on the black market have been taken away by these three major underground forces.

They set up a huge gambling game, and if the contestants of the competition can advance, they will also receive rare metal rewards. We also heard that the champion reward of this soul guide competition is also a ninth-level soul guide device.

With my junior brother and I's soul master level, even if we can't win the championship, it shouldn't be difficult to rank in the top, so we thought about participating and seeing if we can get more rare metals, which can also help relieve some pressure on the academy."

Looking at He Caitou's sincere face, it is obvious that he really cares about Fanyu and the academy.

Huo Yuhao's eyes also showed some seriousness, and he agreed with what He Caitou said.

His own students had good intentions, so Lin Yi certainly couldn't discourage them. He pretended to think about it, but in fact he asked his main body to use the identity of the Life Demon Saint to find some inside information.

Soon, the Life Demon found information about the soul mentor competition among the many pieces of information presented.

It turned out that this competition was held by the three major underground forces in order to seize the share of the Mingdu underground forces and make huge profits.

In the final, each of the three companies will send out a representative, and whoever wins the championship will get the largest share.

The second elder, Nangong Wan, was very concerned about this matter.

They even sent out the disciples of the third elder, Ming Lei Douluo, just to ensure that they could win the final championship.

For a disciple of a ninth-level soul master, the weight should be enough.

Lin Yi thought about it and agreed to He Caitou and Huo Yuhao's request.

There is not much room for these two brothers to perform in this competition, so it would be a good idea for them to participate in the Soul Instructor Competition to vent their excess energy.

Moreover, participating in such a competition can broaden their horizons and help improve their soul mentor abilities.

What's more, the two brothers have already made up their minds. It is the students' good intentions, and it is difficult for the Pavilion Master Lin Yi to refuse.

Beibei, who was in Lin Yi's room and wanted to talk to Lin Yi about Tang Ya, listened to the whole thing.

His first reaction was to disagree.

This is in Mingdu, the territory of Shrek's mortal enemy. Who knows how many eyes are staring at them.

If He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were discovered, they could be seriously injured, captured alive, or killed. Any of these could happen, so why take the risk?

Faced with Beibei's refusal, He Caitou was helpless, but he had no choice but to obey. Beibei has always been his captain since the reserve team. Over the years, He Caitou is really impressed by this captain in terms of strength and leadership.

Huo Yuhao was also a little depressed.

Although the Tang Sect is now in name only, he always remembers the care that Tang Ya and Bei Bei gave him.

That call of "Big Brother" was sincere.

Huo Yuhao really listened to what this senior brother said.

Hearing that Beibei disagreed, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt something was wrong.

But things are not without hope. Now everyone in the inner courtyard knows that Long Shou and the Pavilion Master grew up together and their friendship is incomparable to ordinary people. Even the dragon-patterned rice is the credit of Lin Yi left to Beibei, so that Beibei can enter the upper echelons openly.

Everyone in the inner courtyard who has a little experience knows that as long as Beibei is stronger, he can easily become a senior executive with the help of the dragon-patterned rice.

Huo Yuhao, who knew Lin Yi and Bei Bei a little better, knew that Bei Bei might listen to others but not necessarily follow their advice. However, when it came to Lin Yi, Bei Bei was always the one who was persuaded.

Beibei, the senior brother, is always gentle and elegant in front of them, but in front of Lin Yi, he always looks defensive and crazy.

Even when Teacher Xiaoya was around, she had been jealous of Lin Yi.

Therefore, the only breakthrough point now lies in Lin Yi!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao quickly winked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's double pupils, which were not concealed at all, revealed a hint of pleading.

It's a bit strange to see four pupils looking like this.

Lin Yi coughed lightly and stopped Beibei who was still chattering.

"If they want to go, just let them go."

Beibei immediately turned the gun around and said, "You let them go on such a dangerous mission, what are you thinking? If they were as strong as you, they could go wherever they want, I wouldn't care, but do they have that?
"Two people together can only deal with a Soul Saint at best, but you've also heard that there will be ninth-level Soul Masters, dozens of high-level Soul Masters above seventh level, and those black market forces. What will they do if something unexpected happens?"

Huo Yuhao said weakly: "My mental power can give us enough disguise so that we won't be seen through."

"Shut up, you have no right to speak." Bei Bei retorted to Huo Yuhao without even turning her head.

Huo Yuhao said "Oh" and sat next to He Caitou. The two brothers sat obediently beside him without saying a word.

Lin Yi clicked his tongue twice, "Why are you like that old woman..."

Facing Beibei's death gaze, Lin Yi finally stopped talking.

Sensing danger, Lin Yi quickly changed the subject.

"Look, Yuhao said that he can disguise his body shape."

Beibei immediately retorted.

"Now, all the contestants, including the Sun and Moon Tournament, know that Shrek has a wheelchair-bound contestant. He's not a stranger. He was in the last tournament, and there were exchange students before him. The name of Ultimate Ice Huo Yuhao is not small.

He went to participate in the Soul Master Competition in a wheelchair. Who could not have guessed that Yuhao was a Soul Master? It was no secret."

He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were silent for a moment. This was something they had not expected.

Lin Yi waved his hand casually and said, "What's the big deal about being in a wheelchair? I'll find someone. I'll just pick a few contestants with broken legs. If there are more people in wheelchairs, Yuhao won't be noticeable anymore."

The simple and brutal method made He Caitou feel as if he had re-recognized his idol.

Bei Bei was also frantic and said, "Can you please do something that is worthy of your status as the leader of the Golden Pavilion?"

Lin Yi was stunned. Is that so?
Oh well.

"Beibei, now as the leader of the Golden Pavilion, I agree to participate in the underground soul mentor competition with Cai Tou and Huo Yuhao. The academy cannot let down the students' friendship."

Beibei looked upset. That was not what he meant just now.

Lin Yi also put on a relaxed expression, "It's okay, I will ensure their safety." After saying that, Lin Yi looked at the two brothers who were standing aside and didn't dare to say a word.

“The three major underground forces in Mingdu are the Xishui League, the Pingfan League, and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

The Ordinary Alliance is the lowest-end business, dealing in prostitution. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is involved in various shady activities, such as assassination, theft, and protection money collection. Their strength is not bad. The Xishui Alliance, on the other hand, is engaged in more 'high-end' businesses, such as smuggling weapons, medicine, and human trafficking. Their strength is the most formidable among the three major underground forces.

You should go to the Xishui League, you will gain the most. They are wealthy and will pay more attention to their image when organizing such competitions, and your safety will be better guaranteed. As long as you don't take direct action and leave their territory, with Yuhao's methods, it will be much easier for you to leave."

Huo Yuhao nodded confidently. With his current mental strength and simulation, even the title holder would find it difficult to detect the flaws.

He Caitou also nodded honestly. He was more like a pure soul engineer. Although his combat power was not weak, he was still a little inferior to Huo Yuhao in various means.

Seeing that Lin Yi had made all the arrangements, Beibei said nothing more.

The name Xishui League already implies that the Holy Son of Fate Demon on the main body will secretly take care of it.

He Caitou and Huo Yuhao left happily.

Just one sentence, "The future of the academy's soul guidance department depends on you," made the two of them feel a surge in sense of responsibility.

No wonder the other world classifies male psychology into child psychology.

It's really easy to coax.

Seeing the two of them leave, Lin Yi shouted to the air, "Mr. Song, when they go to participate in the Soul Instructor Competition, I'd like to trouble you to go with them."

An old female voice was heard in the air, "Okay."

With just one sentence, the remaining dissatisfaction on Beibei's face was wiped away, and she was replaced with a relieved expression.

This reaffirms the reason why male psychology is classified into child psychology.

After seeing off He Caitou and Huo Yuhao, the groups for the round-robin tournament were announced soon.

Lin Yi and Bei Bei did not go to the draw, Xu Sanshi took Jiang Nannan there instead.

It doesn't matter what opponent we draw. Even if the overall level of this year's players is better than the previous one, the Shrek Academy's lineup is also better than the previous one.

The final result will not change at all, it will be a crushing victory.

Just like the slogan of Shrek Academy’s competition ten thousand years ago, the champion without rivals.

As the leader of the Golden Pavilion, Lin Yi would not allow any imperfections in the first competition during his tenure.

Starting from the round-robin tournament, Lin Yi will officially enter the battle sequence.

If Beibei's Soul Saint strength of a hundred thousand year seventh soul ring cannot end the battle, Lin Yi will personally take action to clean up the mess.

As for using the status of the plane master to bully the creatures within the realm...

Lin Yi said that he was just an agent.

There are a total of 32 teams in the round-robin tournament, which will be divided into four groups, with eight teams in each group. In each group, only the top two teams in points will qualify and enter the quarterfinals.

In the draw, Shrek was fortunately placed in the same group with its old rival for thousands of years, the Sun-Moon Empire's number one academy, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

There was almost no need for speculation. When the list came out, everyone believed that Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy would respectively occupy the qualifying spots in this group.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Shrek Academy team will come first and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team will come second.

This is also what the people of the Sun and Moon Empire themselves think.

This is the achievement of the two major academies over thousands of years.

The first match of the first group in the round-robin tournament is the fateful showdown between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Frankly speaking, with the strength shown by Shrek this year, even the people of the Sun-Moon Empire who support their own team the most mindlessly are not optimistic about the Sun-Moon Team.

A Soul Saint with a hundred thousand year soul ring, appearing in a competition where the oldest contestant is twenty years old, is truly despairing.

No one saw any hope for the Sun and Moon Team to win.

There are even voices within the Sun and Moon Team who want to preserve their strength to ensure the team's survival.

Obviously, they were scared.

They are afraid of Beibei, a Soul Sage with a hundred thousand year soul ring. They are even more afraid of Lin Yi, who defeated seven opponents in the final of the last competition. Now his soul power is also a seven-ring Soul Sage, but his strength is even greater than Beibei. Rumor has it that his strength is not weaker than that of a Titled Douluo.

Such a gap makes people feel suffocated just thinking about it.

But these voices were directly shattered by Xiao Hongchen.

In five years, this once white-haired boy has finally grown up.

On the day of the battle, the sun had risen in the early morning, but the heat had not yet dissipated. The occasional breeze brought a little coolness, which was very comfortable.

Lin Yi led the team, walking on the streets between the high-tech buildings in Mingdu, and slowly moved towards the competition venue.

The atmosphere in the team is very relaxed, and everyone has an indescribable confidence on their face.

And confidence comes from strength.

As the Shrek team, led by the current leader of the Golden Pavilion, they certainly have the ability.

On the rostrum, perhaps because of the Sun Moon Team's match, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, was also sitting here.

Xu Tianran looked at the two teams sitting in the rest area and asked with great interest, "Master Hongchen, what do you think of our Sun Moon Team's match against Shrek Academy?"

Jing Hongchen really wanted to answer, "I'll just sit and watch," but Xu Tianran was not far from the throne, and even he was not easy to offend.

So he could only vaguely say: "After all, it's just a round-robin tournament. It's hard to say whether both sides will give their full strength. The most important thing is to ensure that we can qualify."

Xu Tianran nodded without comment, "In these two competitions, Shrek has had quite a few peerless geniuses. In the last competition, Shrek team's captain Ma Xiaotao seemed to have reached level 70, but he just didn't have time to obtain a spirit ring. This time, he's a true Spirit Sage, and his seventh spirit ring is 100,000 years old, not to mention the number one genius in 10,000 years."

As he spoke, Xu Tianran turned to look at Jing Hongchen, "Master Hongchen, why do so many geniuses come from Shrek? Why don't I, Sun Yue, have such a genius?"

Jing Hongchen's short and fat body just sat there, his upper body leaning forward with difficulty, looking respectful, but he did not answer.

Xu Tianran's question was really hard to answer. Why not? How would I know why not? Those untalented ones weren't born by me.

These two kids of mine are both talented and capable.

Not as good as those monsters, but still a good choice.

As if he heard Jing Hongchen's thoughts, Xu Tianran turned around and continued to look at the two sides waiting to fight below.

"Master Hongchen, I heard that your grandson reached the Soul Saint realm ahead of time for this competition?"

Jing Hongchen was shocked and said quickly, "That's right. This child took a drug that squeezed his potential. His soul power will not be able to increase in the next five years. What a pity..."

It’s a pity that there are only three Soul Sages in their true and complete state in this competition, and two of them are confirmed to have 100,000-year soul rings.

Lin Yi, who had not been exposed, was a ruthless person who absorbed a ten thousand year soul ring with his first soul ring. No one would doubt that his seventh soul ring could not absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring.

With this calculation, it seems that his grandson's sacrifice was all in vain.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, "Your grandson made such a sacrifice for the empire, the empire will not forget it. When the competition is over, I will order the court physician to go to the Red Dust Hall Master's residence and do everything possible to minimize the impact on your grandson.

Your grandson is such a genius, so we should focus on nurturing him. Hall Master, just rest assured."

This was exactly what Jing Hongchen was waiting for. Now that the ownership of the throne has been basically determined, it is time to take sides. Xu Tianran said this, but his intention was to reassure Jing Hongchen that the Hongchen family's status in Riyue would not change.

Jing Hongchen stood up and bowed as a token of thanks.

Xu Tianran waved his hand casually and looked intently at the competition stage below.

At this time, the battle between the Shrek team and the Sun and Moon team is finally about to begin.

Following the referee's call, contestants from both teams came on stage.

It turned out to be the captain of the Shrek team, Beibei, and the captain of the Sun and Moon team, Xiao Hongchen.

Both sides stood still, and as the referee called out "match begins," both summoned their martial spirits simultaneously...
