Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

The moment the words fell, countless black vines sprouted from the ground beneath Tang Ya's feet, as if they had become part of her body.

An invisible domain rapidly expanded from her center, instantly covering the entire arena.

Domains can not only enhance one's own attributes in all aspects, but also weaken opponents.

Therefore, if the opponent does not have any domain skills, the outcome of this match can be said to be already determined.

The moment the Blue Silver Domain spread, Lin Xi, the captain of Mingdu Academy, changed his expression drastically.

The gravitational field he had just released was instantly weakened by more than 70%.

Tang Ya's body only paused slightly before regaining its balance.

On the field, the black vines came to life completely.

Lin Xi's main cannon on his chest was finally fully charged, and a destructive beam burst forth, heading straight for Tang Ya!
Success or failure depends on this!

He didn't believe that the opponent could block such a pure burst of energy!

However, Tang Ya raised her hand, and countless vines in front of her intertwined wildly, forming not a shield, but instead a huge, rapidly spinning black vortex.

Under the influence of the Blue Silver Domain, the mutated Blue Silver Grass's ability to devour prey was further enhanced.

boom--!
The beam of destruction plunged into the vortex, but instead of causing a devastating explosion, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, its energy being frantically broken down, absorbed, and devoured.

The vortex trembled violently and shrank in size, thus neutralizing the attack that was powerful enough to flatten a small hill.

"This..." Lin Xi was completely stunned.

That momentary lapse in concentration decided the course of the battle.

Dozens of vines tore through the air, wrapping around Lin Xi from all directions and instantly binding him and the soul tools floating around him tightly.

The light on the surface of the soul tool quickly dimmed, and the soul power within his body poured out like a flood.

Lin Xi struggled for a moment, then her body went limp and she completely lost the ability to resist.

The referee then announced the result of the match.

"In the individual competition, Tang Ya from the Tang Clan wins!"

Tang Ya withdrew her domain, and the wildly dancing black vines on the field instantly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Her face paled slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid, clearly indicating that the drain on her domain was also enormous.

The vines supporting Lin Xi lost their strength and slid down, causing him to collapse to the ground, completely losing his fighting ability.

The Tang Clan's preparation area was filled with jubilation. Although they hadn't won the match outright, they were at least in the lead. If they could win just one more match, the Tang Clan would have won the individual competition.

The Tang Clan members were also very confident about the team competition that followed.

After all, they had witnessed Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and its power could only be described as excessive.

Soon, the sixth member of the Mingdu Academy team took their place.

He was a tall, thin young man. Tang Ya adjusted her posture and did not leave the field.

If Tang Sect wins this match, they will have won the individual competition.

"Game start!"

The result of the match was predictable: the opponent's strongest captain had been defeated, so how could anyone possibly be a match for Tang Ya next?

Before the opposing player could react, Tang Ya's attack had already arrived.

A main vine wrapped around her body and flung her over, and she slapped him in the chest.

The team member coughed up blood, flew backward, and passed out.

"In the individual competition, Tang Ya from the Tang Clan wins!"

In the individual elimination rounds, Tang Sect had already secured the victory, and both sides were frantically recovering their form, especially Mingdu Academy.

After all, in team competitions, soul tools have a greater advantage, and this is their only hope for a comeback.

During the short break, the atmosphere on the field did not cool down; on the contrary, it became even more intense because of the upcoming team competition.

In the preparation area of ​​Mingdu Academy, all team members had solemn expressions, making the most of every second to adjust their soul tools and replace all the spare milk bottles.

Their defeat in the individual competition left them with no way out; the team competition was their last hope.

On the Tang Sect's side, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Beibei's injuries have almost healed under the treatment of the healing-type Soul Master, and she is able to participate in the battle.

Tang Ya's depleted soul power is also rapidly recovering.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er sat side by side, eyes closed, seemingly connected, their breaths mingling in harmony and tranquility.

"Team match, begin! Team members, please come to the field!"

The referee's voice fell.

The seven students from Mingdu Academy were the first to step onto the field, quickly spreading out to form a diamond-shaped battle formation.

Dozens of soul tools on the seven people simultaneously glowed with a ghostly light, their energy circuits connecting to each other, forming an invisible energy net between them, creating a terrifying aura.

The seven members of the Tang Clan also made their appearance.

Tang Ya stood at the front, followed closely by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, while the other four team members protected the two flanks.

The core of this team competition is Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao. As long as they successfully unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they will win the match.

The referee's voice still echoed in the stadium.

"Fire!"

Lin Xi, the captain of Mingdu Academy, gave a stern order.

The seven-person diamond-shaped battle formation instantly erupted with dazzling light. Dozens of soul-guided rays and several small tracking soul-guided cannonballs formed a dense firepower net, pouring down on the Tang Clan members without leaving any blind spots.

Faced with this saturation attack that could almost instantly evaporate an entire army of Soul Masters, Tang Ya remained unusually calm.

She didn't even look at the incoming attacks; she simply lifted her foot and stomped it lightly.

boom--!
The ground of the arena trembled violently, and countless black vines, thicker than ever before, burst forth from the earth. They did not attack their opponents, but instead intertwined and coiled wildly in front of the Tang Clan members, instantly forming a thick, massive vine wall that completely shielded the seven members of the Tang Clan from behind.

All the soul-guided rays and cannonballs bombarded the vine wall, creating ripples of energy, but they couldn't budge it in the slightest. All the attacks were swallowed up and neutralized by the black vines, without even a speck of dust being stirred up.

A bizarre scene unfolded on the field.

Mingdu Academy unleashed a furious barrage of firepower, while Tang Sect erected an insurmountable black wall, neither attacking nor defending, falling into complete silence.

"What is the Tang Sect doing? Why are they only defending?"

"Could it be that Tang Ya is preparing some powerful soul skill?"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, no one could understand Tang Sect's actions.

But the expressions of the other players on the bench changed.

In the preparation area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen suddenly stood up and stared intently at the large screen in the center of the arena.

Behind the vine wall, the Tang Clan members lined up on both sides, leaving the center empty.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were holding hands and looking into each other's eyes.

A dazzling golden halo rose from beneath Wang Dong'er's feet, while a deep ice-blue halo emerged from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

The two auras were merging in a strange rhythm, and blue and gold light swirled and rose between their clasped hands. A terrifying energy fluctuation far exceeding that of a Soul Emperor, and even approaching that of a Soul Saint, was rapidly gathering!

"Martial spirit fusion technique!"

On Shrek Academy's side, Xianlin'er finally showed a smile.

"Finally, they've decided to reveal their trump card."

On the field, Lin Xi, the captain of Mingdu Academy, also sensed something was wrong. The ever-increasing energy fluctuations behind the vine wall made his heart pound.

He thought that Tang Ya was gathering her strength.

"We can't let her finish! Everyone, use your reserve soul power and blast that wall open!"

Lin Xi roared, and the soul tools on the seven people shone brightly again, with an even more violent torrent of energy crashing against the vine wall.

The vine wall trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its surface.

Tang Ya's face grew paler and paler, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, but vines continued to grow into the wall beneath her feet, blocking her way.

Just then, a vast aura surged into the sky from behind the vine wall.

It was a peculiar power that combined ultimate light and ultimate cold, sacred and noble, yet carrying a chilling coldness that could freeze the soul.

A voice, indistinguishable between male and female, seemingly composed of two overlapping voices, pierced through the vine-covered wall and resounded throughout the entire venue.

"The decay amidst brilliance, the path to gold."

The moment the words fell, the thick vine wall, like a stage curtain, silently parted to both sides.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were no longer visible behind the wall.

Instead, a blurry human figure was shrouded in the light and shadow of a giant butterfly wing.

The figure slowly raised his hand, pointing towards the Mingdu Academy battle formation ahead.

A golden band of light, about three meters wide and composed entirely of pure, dazzling light that seemed to condense all the light in the world, shot out from his fingertips and stretched forward.

Its progress was not fast, even somewhat slow, but the moment it appeared, the whole world seemed to lose its sound and color, and all that remained in everyone's sight was that extending golden road.

The members of Mingdu Academy, including their captain Lin Xi, were stunned.

Their prized soul tools seemed to have lost all their power in the face of that golden road, even their light dimmed.

They wanted to dodge, but their bodies wouldn't obey them; the golden path silently stretched on.

It precisely covered the four members at the forefront of Mingdu Academy's diamond formation.

The expressions of horror on the faces of the four team members froze instantly, and their bodies were quickly covered with a layer of brilliant gold. In an instant, all the soul tools on their bodies turned into golden sculptures.

Then, with a few soft "crack" sounds, the four golden sculptures simultaneously lost their support and fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

The golden light dispersed.

On the field, only Lin Xi and two other team members standing at the back of the formation remained unharmed.

But their faces were blank, devoid of anything else.

The whole place was dead silent.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Wow——!
The deafening roar, like a landslide and a tsunami, instantly ignited the entire stadium!
Lin Xi, the captain of Mingdu Academy, stood there blankly, staring at the empty battlefield in front of him and the four "golden sculptures" lying on the ground.

"Just... admit defeat, Captain..."

Behind him, the last remaining team member's voice trembled, and his teeth chattered.

The other person didn't speak, but his deathly pale face and uncontrollably trembling legs said it all.

How else to fight?
At this moment, the figure shrouded in the light and shadow of butterfly wings slowly dissipated, re-emerging as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er.

The two stumbled backward at the same time, but were caught by Beibei and another teammate who were waiting nearby.

Both of them looked a little pale; this attack had taken a toll on them.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate them.

Lin Xi's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty. He raised his hand, then let it fall limply to the ground.

Continuing to fight would only bring shame upon ourselves.

He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, and raised his hand towards the referee.

"We... admit defeat."

Three words, carrying a hint of relief.

The referee immediately announced loudly:

"Team match, Tang Sect wins!"

"The ultimate winner of this match is—Tang Clan!"

Only then did the pent-up roar finally erupt, more intense than ever before.

The viewing area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Xiao Hongchen's face was so gloomy it could wring water out of it, and clear fingerprints were already visible on the armrest of the chair next to him.

They initially thought they only had Shrek Academy as their opponent in this tournament, but now it seems the Tang Sect is not to be underestimated.

"A spirit fusion skill... Is this the trump card that the Tang Sect has been hiding?"

Can his soul tool stop it?

For the first time, he began to doubt his own soul tool.

"Brother...they're exhausted. If we face them, as long as we can survive that one move..."

"Hold on?"

Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly, "How can we hold on? Look at what happened to Mingdu Academy. Those who were hit by that golden light didn't even have a chance to react."

Shrek Academy's spectator area.

A smile appeared on Zhou Xuan's face.

Xianlin'er was in a good mood, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

With the help of the staff, Bei Bei and Tang Ya managed to squeeze through the crowd and return to the rest area, protecting Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er.

With that, the final four teams have been decided!

Shrek Academy!
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!
Tang Sect!

And, the Holy Spirit Sect!

With the final four teams confirmed, the entire city was plunged into an even more fervent anticipation.

These past few days, in taverns and teahouses on every street corner, there's only one topic of conversation.

That is the upcoming semi-final.

"Did you all see that Tang Sect's soul skill called 'Golden Road'? It's utterly unreasonable! Four Soul Kings fell down with just one touch!"

"Yes, when that golden light came out, I got goosebumps all over my body. It was so sacred, and so terrifying."

"But if you ask me, the most terrifying one is that Holy Spirit Sect."

"Is that even a question? Who isn't afraid of having their cultivation destroyed?"

Finally, the day of the semi-final draw arrived.

The stadium was packed, and the preparation areas for the four teams were clearly separated, yet the atmosphere was completely different.

In the center of the arena, the referee walked onto the platform, with a box next to him.

"Now, I declare the semi-final draw ceremony officially open!"

The referee's voice, amplified by the soul-guided loudspeaker, resounded throughout the arena, instantly silencing all the noise.

"The draw will be conducted by the captains of the four teams themselves." (End of Chapter)
