Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 238 Invitation, Finals
The aura of a Super Douluo was pressing down on him, and he was also attacked by two Titled Douluo-level evil soul masters. It was hard to say whether Lin Yi could handle it or not. Even if he could, his hands were occupied by He Caitou and Huo Yuhao, so he had no chance to fight back.

At the moment of life and death, He Caitou and Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of despair, and there was also some regret for dragging Lin Yi down.

Especially Huo Yuhao. If he hadn't wanted to participate in this underground soul instructor competition, he wouldn't have implicated Lin Yi to this extent.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao had only one thought in his mind, that was to let Lin Yi leave safely even if he died here.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's mental fluctuations suddenly became violent, his spiritual eye martial soul was stimulated to the extreme, and his eyes turned into silver.

Lin Yi wanted to take action, but he stopped when he saw a strange fluctuation suddenly coming from Huo Yuhao. No matter what, he was confident that he could take the two of them away safely. After all, the person who came was just Feng Ling.

Although the ninety-seventh-level Evil Phoenix Douluo is powerful, he will not be difficult for Lin Yi to deal with.

Huo Yuhao's aura suddenly increased, and behind him, a vertical pupil quietly emerged, emitting a silver light all over his body.

This is……

The silver-level martial soul awakens for the second time!
At the critical moment, Huo Yuhao accidentally activated this ability due to his extreme obsession.

Although Lin Yi had never seen the second awakening of the body spirit, there were some records about the Body Sect in Shrek, not to mention Moon who had fought a life-and-death battle with the leader of the Body Sect.

Although Lin Yi had never seen it before, it was not difficult for him to judge Huo Yuhao's current condition based on his performance and some details.

The vertical pupils seemed to be moving slowly but were actually very fast in combination with Huo Yuhao's body, and a layer of distorted light appeared on Huo Yuhao. He Caitou, who was standing beside him, could not see Huo Yuhao's body clearly. The powerful mental fluctuations made his eyes only distorted, and he felt very uncomfortable.

The mental strength that Huo Yuhao burst out at this moment was clearly no less than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo-level strongman. Even the Super Douluo who was not good at this would look at him with awe.

For example, the Evil Phoenix Douluo, Feng Ling at this moment.

Feng Ling was originally just staring at Lin Yi, but after Huo Yuhao's outburst, Feng Ling's gaze suddenly shifted to Huo Yuhao, her eyes full of surprise.

She didn't expect that a mere five-ring Soul King could make her, a Super Douluo, feel a bit dangerous.

Based on this point alone, Huo Yuhao is already proud enough. After all, he was once the son of luck. Fighting against powerful people across so many levels was a record that only Lin Yi could achieve before.

Just as the few people were thinking about different things, a silver-white light shot out from Huo Yuhao's eyes and rushed straight towards Feng Ling.

The distorted light made everything around them unclear. Just by looking over here, Nangong Wan and Minglei Douluo, who lacked mental strength, felt uncomfortable.

Pretending to be affected, Nangong Wan's pace slowed down slightly.

Feng Ling was locked in by Huo Yuhao's mind, with nowhere to hide, and could only withstand this attack.

Gray-blue soul power boiled around Feng Ling. After a clear phoenix cry, Huo Yuhao knew Feng Ling's martial soul.

Evil Phoenix.

It is definitely a top-tier existence among evil martial spirits, and is a powerful martial spirit on the same level as Ouyang Xi's Light Phoenix and Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix.

Unexpectedly, the soul power of this evil soul master with the evil phoenix martial soul is so powerful that it has reached the level of Super Douluo.

If he asked Lin Yi, he would be able to get more information about this evil phoenix.

A level 97 Super Douluo, titled Evil Phoenix, deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Sect and also the leader's wife. She once had a relationship with Yan Shaozhe, the former dean of Shrek's Martial Spirit Department.

But in the process, the evil phoenix lost control, and Feng Ling's identity as an evil soul master was discovered. Moon En wanted to kill her, but Yan Shaozhe pleaded for her and spared her life. She then disappeared, and when she reappeared, she looked like this now.

Huo Yuhao’s mental attack hit Feng Ling.

The gray-blue light dimmed for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Huo Yuhao's strength was commendable for being able to influence the Super Douluo for a moment as a Five-Ring Soul King. It was a pity that the gap between the two was too huge.

After launching that attack, Huo Yuhao was already exhausted. Even the previous ray of mental power was successfully released with the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Otherwise, how could Huo Yuhao, who had just started the second awakening of his martial soul, have delivered such a powerful attack so smoothly?

As the first million-year-old soul beast on the continent, although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's attack power is not outstanding, its ability to assist Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly powerful.

As powerful as the Ice Emperor is, she was able to successfully reside in Huo Yuhao's body thanks to the ability of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had proven its worth by helping Huo Yuhao to marshal the surging power in his body and complete this attack.

Seeing that his attacks had almost no effect, Huo Yuhao was almost in despair, and in the end he still implicated Lin Yi.

Facing the attack from Feng Ling, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes helplessly, ready to face death. It was a pity that he was unable to help Brother Tian Meng and Bing Di gain eternal life, and his mother's revenge was still unrequited.

Huo Yuhao has completely recalled his life. He has some regrets but also a lot of satisfaction in his heart. After waiting for a long time, the pain of death did not come as expected.

Opening his eyes tentatively, the first thing Huo Yuhao saw was Cai Tou's open mouth.

Following He Caitou's gaze and looking around, Huo Yuhao discovered that Lin Yi was actually fighting with the Evil Phoenix Super Douluo, and two Evil Titled Douluos were harassing him from the side.

Even with He Caitou and himself as burdens, Lin Yi looked relaxed.

It turns out that Lin Yi’s strength has now improved to this level?

Looking at Lin Yi, Huo Yuhao felt a little dejected. Thinking back to the past, he had taken Lin Yi as his goal. In the last competition, Huo Yuhao thought that the gap between him and Lin Yi had narrowed a lot.

However, in the final match, Lin Yi showed him with his actions that he was still far from achieving his goal.

For five years, Huo Yuhao did not dare to slack off for a single day. He was so busy practicing soul guides and soul power that he was exhausted. When he suddenly looked up, he realized that the gap between him and Lin Yi had become so big.

Compared to Huo Yuhao who was somewhat conceited because of the opportunities he had since childhood, He Caitou knew from the beginning that Lin Yi was a genius far superior to himself. Compared to Huo Yuhao's unbalanced mentality, He Caitou was more relaxed.

Knowing yourself earlier and not making blind comparisons will make your life much easier.

Just like He Caitou, from the moment he knew Lin Yi's record as the youngest fourth-level soul engineer, he knew clearly that Lin Yi was a genius that he could never catch up with, so he gave up hope early on. Now his soul power training is not slow, and his state of mind is much more mature than Huo Yuhao.

Not knowing what the two brothers were thinking, the battle between Lin Yi and Feng Ling didn't take too long.

In order to hide his identity, he can only use a little power, only a little power of death, mixed with a dark attribute that has not reached the ultimate level. This is also the only attribute of Lin Yi that has not reached the ultimate level.

Relying on these two attributes, Lin Yi and Feng Ling fought for a few times and took the opportunity to kill several evil soul masters above the seventh ring.

With Lin Yi’s current strength, he didn’t know about the soul masters at the nine-ring level, but for those below the nine-ring level, it was basically no problem for him to kill one with one move.

Soon, two voices sounded in Lin Yi's mind one after another, indicating that Lin Yi's battle here was completely unnecessary.

"Kill five evil soul masters of the same level, complete the first test of darkness, and be rewarded with 5% affinity with the God of Darkness, and increase your soul power by one level."

"Kill three evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level, complete the second test of light, and be rewarded with a 10% increase in affinity with the God of Light and a level increase in soul power."

Then, the content of the second dark test was also determined. It was still the same as the second light test, which was to kill three evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level.

Lin Yi had previously killed an extra Eight-Ringed Evil Soul Douluo, so that was also counted. Lin Yi only needed to kill two more Evil Soul Douluo to complete the Second Dark Trial.

Too lazy to continue fighting, Lin Yi made a feint, increased his speed, and left immediately.

But before leaving, he did not forget to leave a trick behind, so that not only did the Xishui League suffer heavy losses in its middle-level combat power, but the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan League also suffered heavy losses in their core combat power.

There is black and white in the world. Lin Yi will not kill all the leaders of the underground forces here. If he does so, the uncontrolled darkness at the bottom may bring unimaginable harm to the people of Mingdu. However, having lost most of their backbone forces, they can only choose to retract their tentacles temporarily. It is impossible for a strong man to go out and run errands by himself.

This can be considered as Lin Yi's insignificant help to the people in Mingdu.

Minglei Douluo still wanted to continue chasing. After all, the ranking engraving knives of his two disciples were won by Huo Yuhao. Of course, he was unwilling to let them go. But when he saw that Feng Ling and Nangong Wan had no intention of chasing him, he could only stop in disappointment.

It was obvious from the battle just now that Lin Yi was as strong as Feng Ling. If Ming Lei chased her out on his own, it would be hard to say who would win.

The Underground Soul Instructor Competition has come to an end. Both Huo Yuhao and Lin Yi have gained a lot. Even He Caitou, who gained the least, got a ranking engraving knife and was very satisfied.

Although Huo Yuhao was a little mentally unbalanced at the time, it was not difficult for him to figure it out with the guidance of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor, and he quickly adjusted himself.

Except for Beibei, the other Shrek players rarely played in the competition and their condition was as good as it could be.

Beibei had suffered some injuries in his previous battle with Long Aotian, but his understanding of cultivation had become deeper. With Lin Yi's ultimate life force, some injuries were nothing. Not only had he fully recovered, but his strength had also improved.

The current Shrek team is extremely strong.

Lin Yi's original life demon has received information that at the border of Sun and Moon, all the Douluo elites from the sects and academies of the Three Kingdoms were intercepted.

Among all the teams participating in this competition, only the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire are still in Mingdu.

Although the border of Mingdu tried hard to block the news, it was not difficult for the top experts to notice that something was wrong.

Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire and Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire came together to meet Lin Yi, the master of the Golden Pavilion.

In the conference room on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel, Lin Yi met with the two princesses and the leader of the Benti Sect, Du Bu Si.

In the conference room, Lin Yiduan sat in the main seat. When he saw several people coming in, he politely asked them to sit down, but did not stand up.

Du Bu Si looked at Lin Yi who was sitting still, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But at this moment they came to visit Shrek to ask for a favor, so it was not easy to make trouble. Although Du Bu Si had a bad temper, he still knew the difference between the important and the unimportant.

Several people took their seats.

"I've met Pavilion Master Lin. I didn't expect that after the last competition, when we met again, Pavilion Master Lin would become the Pavilion Master of the Golden Pavilion. When I heard the news, I was shocked.

But when I think about the fact that Pavilion Master Lin is the greatest genius in the continent in ten thousand years, this kind of thing seems normal for Pavilion Master Lin."

Xu Jiujiu, who had met Lin Yi several times, spoke first. No matter how dissatisfied Xu Jiujiu was with Lin Yi in the last competition, the gap in status and strength now made Xu Jiujiu not hesitate to praise him.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Xu Jiujiu's figure has become more mature. A young and beautiful woman with a pretty face, a princess of a country, said such flattering words with admiration on her face. Any man would feel happy after hearing it.

Lin Yi was no exception, but he would not get carried away by Xu Jiujiu's flattery.

"You all came here together, I think there is something important, please speak frankly."

No beating around the bush, straight to the point. In short, this was the tone Lin Yi set for this conversation.

Simple and straightforward.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Vina, and Vina spoke carefully.

"Pavilion Master Lin, you know that the Sun-Moon Empire has deployed heavy troops on the border in order to capture all of us contestants and use them as bargaining chips for conquering the continent.

The Sun-Moon Empire's hosting of this competition is a conspiracy. If it succeeds, our Douluo Kingdoms and Shrek will be in danger.

Shrek has always been the leader of the Three Kingdoms of our Douluo. This time, Sun and Moon are so provocative, which clearly shows that they are ignoring Shrek. Moreover, Pavilion Master Lin is in Sun and Moon, and this matter also concerns the safety of Pavilion Master himself.

Therefore, we have come here with the intention of joining forces with Pavilion Master Lin to fight our way out and destroy the Sun Moon Empire's plan."

The words were spoken with sincerity and the pros and cons were analyzed clearly, even Lin Yi's safety was taken into consideration.

Lin Yi nodded gently at Vina, "I didn't expect Princess Vina to be so wise. I have never heard of the princess's name before. I am ignorant. It is a blessing for Tianhun to have a person like the princess."

A faint blush appeared on Vina's face. She blushed a little at Lin Yi's straightforward compliment and nodded and bowed.

"Pavilion Master Lin, you are too kind. Vina doesn't deserve such praise from you. What do you think?"

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't give a direct answer, Vina asked directly.

In fact, in their opinion, there was no possibility that Shrek would refuse this matter. They came together just to show their importance and give Shrek a way out.

After all, it is the number one academy and the number one force in the continent, so it’s a good reputation.

The commotion at the border of the Sun-Moon Empire was not small, and the tense atmosphere in Mingdu was visible at a glance. No matter from which perspective, Shrek had no possibility of refusing.

However, something unexpected happened.

"Please allow me to refuse this matter."

"Why?"

Perhaps it was too unexpected, Xu Jiujiu and Vina instinctively asked.

"Boy! I've been putting up with you for so long!"

Du Bu Si suddenly slammed the table and stood up, releasing the powerful pressure of a level 98 Super Douluo.

"Boy, don't think that just because you're the leader of the Golden Pavilion you can act recklessly in front of the powerful. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your Shrek elders!"

After saying that, Du Bu Si reached out his hand to grab Lin Yi.

Vina exclaimed and said no quickly. Du Bu Si was now the guardian sect of the Tianhun Empire. If Du Bu Si did this, wouldn't he be offending Shrek Academy? Under the current situation on the continent, the Tianhun Empire must not be at odds with Shrek.

When Xu Jiujiu saw Du Bu Si take action, he was shocked at first, and then just watched coldly.

She was also dissatisfied with Lin Yi's rejection, but Shrek could not be offended. If Du Bu Si could make Lin Yi change his mind, it would be a good thing. As for offending Shrek, wasn't that Du Bu Si's fault?

What does the Tianhun Empire’s national defense sect have to do with the Xingluo Empire?
Then, Du Bu Si’s catch was unsuccessful.

The next moment after Du Bu Si made his move, an old, greasy hand reached out from the air and grabbed Du Bu Si's wrist.

"Poison is not dead. Who gave you the courage to attack the owner of Shrek Golden Pavilion and discipline him on my behalf? Are you worthy?!"

"Xuanzi!"

Du Bu Si immediately revealed the man's identity.

It was the Taotie Douluo, Xuanzi, who had been secretly protecting Lin Yi.

When he saw Xuan Zi, Du Bu Si was startled at first, but then a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. Considering Lin Yi's importance, it was reasonable for Xuan Zi to protect him closely.

I think Xuan Zi is the reason why Lin Yi refused to cooperate with them.

madness!

Even he felt a fatal threat from the arrangements of the Sun and Moon Empire, let alone Xuan Zi, whose strength was almost the same as his.

Thinking of this, Du Bu Si felt quite disappointed with Lin Yi. He thought he was a great man, but it turned out that he was just a short-sighted fool.

Du Bu Si exerted force from his waist and was about to pull his hand back, but his hand did not move at all.

Xuanzi's big hands bound him tightly like an iron clamp, making him unable to move.

Just a Xuan Zi, yet he's so excited.

Du Bu Si's eyes focused, his soul power surged, and he actually used all his strength.

However, no matter how hard Du Bu Si tried, Xuan Zi's hand always held him tightly, without any wavering.

A hint of horror appeared in Du Bu Si's eyes. Du Bu Si carefully felt Xuan Zi's breath, but did not realize Xuan Zi's background at all. This made Du Bu Si's heart sink.

"Have you taken that step?"

Du Bu Si asked in a hoarse voice.

Xuan Zi nodded calmly, then let go of Du Bu Si's wrist and stood behind Lin Yi.

Xu Jiujiu and Vina were secretly surprised by this scene.

Xuanzi was no stranger to the intelligence of all the major forces. He was the Sea God... the elder of the Golden Pavilion, Taotie Douluo, and was once considered by all parties to be the best master in Shrek. It was not until the Body Sect went to Shrek to cause trouble that a certain force remembered the name of Dragon God Douluo Moon again.

But no matter what, Taotie Douluo is one of the top three powerful beings in Shrek, and he is known for his bad temper. But now he is standing obediently behind Lin Yi, and the implied respect in his behavior makes people ponder.

Compared with these two princesses, Du Bu Si’s thoughts are more complicated.

Back then in Shrek, he and Xuan Zi fought to a draw, but with the second awakening of his gold-level martial soul, Du Bushi was confident that he could still suppress Xuan Zi.

However, he didn't expect that today he would suddenly hear that Xuan Zi had broken through first and became an Extreme Douluo. How could Du Bu Si accept this?

Xuan Zi, who has broken through the realm of Ultimate Douluo, must be stronger than Du Bu Si. Even if he tries his best to perform the second awakening of his golden-level martial soul, the final outcome will still be failure.

There is only one character difference between Extreme Douluo and Level 98 Super Douluo, and the difference in strength is unimaginable.

After so many years, he still hasn't found a possibility of breakthrough. Why does Xuan Zi do that?
Du Bu Si sat back in his seat somewhat disheartened and said nothing more.

Xu Jiujiu and Vina looked at each other, their minds racing.

Lin Yi spoke again.

"Everyone, Shrek is just an academy and has no intention of interfering in the conflicts on the continent. Of course, if the Sun-Moon Empire wants to take action against Shrek, Shrek is not afraid.

Poison Sect Master, I will not bother with your intention to attack me today, considering that the Body Sect also attacked me during the Beast Tide a hundred years ago. But please remember that I am now the Pavilion Master of Shrek Golden Pavilion. As long as I hold this position, even if I am just a small soul master, it is no reason for you to offend me."

Vina quickly stood up and apologized.

"Master Du was just impulsive at the moment. Vina apologizes to Pavilion Master Lin on behalf of Master Du. I hope Pavilion Master Lin will not blame me."

Lin Yi smiled and waved his hands, "Princess Vina, don't be nervous. I have already said that this matter is over, and I will not go back on my word. It's just that joining forces goes against Shrek's philosophy, so I can only refuse."

Knowing that the situation was not going to work, Xu Jiujiu and Vina did not continue. It would be annoying if they continued to pester the other party even though they had clearly refused. Both of them were princesses of the same country and they would have this kind of manners. They immediately said goodbye and left, taking the somewhat distraught Du Bushi with them.

It was the first time Vina had seen Du Bu Si like this. After he left, she asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Du Bu Si seemed to have just come to his senses and let out a long sigh towards the sky.

"I didn't expect that Shrek would have another Extreme Douluo."

After hearing these words, Vina and Xu Jiujiu, who had not left yet, changed their expressions drastically.

Without caring about anything else, Xu Jiujiu hurriedly asked, "Master Du, are you sure?"

After saying this, it took him a long time to realize that he was actually questioning Du Bu Si, which was an offense to a powerful person. He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Master Du, I'm not questioning you, it's just that this news is too scary..."

Du Bu Si, who was in a bad mood, waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

"There is no doubt that Xuanzi and I have fought before. At that time, we were evenly matched. But this time, I couldn't break free from his hand even with all my strength. Xuanzi must have broken through his limit. When I asked him, he admitted it himself. This cannot be false."

Du Bu Si is a level 98 Super Douluo and the leader of the Body Sect. He has both strength and vision, so his judgment is credible, not to mention that Xuan Zi has to admit it himself.

Although there was no discussion, Xu Jiujiu and Vina both understood that their attitude towards Shrek needed to change.

Especially Vina, he knew it better. Du Bu Si had judged that the former Dragon God Douluo Moon had reached his limit. Maybe the situation was not very good, but his strength was real.

This time there is another Taotie who has reached the extreme realm, a double extreme realm. Such a Shrek is too terrifying.

But at the moment when Sun and Moon are about to launch a large-scale attack, the stronger Shrek is, the more relieved Douluo Yuan is.

The visit from Xu Jiujiu and others was just a small episode, and Lin Yi didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he cared more about the finals.

It had nothing to do with anything else, it was just because Lin Yi couldn't accept that Shrek lost the championship title during his tenure.

There cannot be such a stain on his always perfect resume.

Therefore, before the final, Lin Yi specifically sought out Beibei to encourage him.

The way to encourage people is also very simple, which is to directly bring Tang Ya from the Holy Spirit Church to stimulate Beibei's desire to fight.

As for the ambush of Sun and Moon, Lin Yi said: Absolute strength brings absolute confidence.
