Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 243 Shadow Palace Academy Team!
Xueya and the other two looked at each other, unsure how to explain to Yu Xiaogang.

I thought I had broken through level 30, but I never expected to be back to level 29. This reversal was truly unexpected.

Even with Tang San's knowledge, he couldn't figure out why. Such a miraculous thing was beyond his comprehension, and it wasn't written in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.

Xueya and Flander exchanged a glance, their eyes also filled with confusion.

"Ya-mei, mistress, the important thing now is how to explain this to Xiao-gang later!"

Flander looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had fainted on the ground. This was the first time they had ever seen anything like it. How could they possibly explain it?

"Boss Fu, just explain to Xiao Gang later. Just now, his soul power dissipated after the soul ring entered his body."

"Perhaps with further cultivation, Xiao Gang can be raised to level 30 again. He has already taken the Xuan Shui Pill, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Let's take this soul beast back with us for now."

Xueya looked at Yu Xiaogang and said with some concern, "There's nothing we can do for now. We can't directly raise Yu Xiaogang's soul power to level 30."

Now we can only wait until Xiaogang wakes up before we can talk about it.

After discussing it, the three of them took Yu Xiaogang back to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Yu Xiaogang remained unconscious for three whole weeks before waking up.

Three weeks have passed, and there are only three days left until the start of the Soul Master Competition.

Meanwhile, inside the Shadow Hall Martial Soul Academy, seven people stood in the academy hall. One of them was dressed very much like Lanling King from the game King of Glory, exuding a terrifying killing intent.

The killing intent was mixed with a strong dark aura, and the two blended together without causing any discomfort.

"Xiaotian, you have not disappointed your teacher in the past two years."

Xu Xin sat in the main seat, looking at the seven people below with satisfaction.

These seven people were none other than Feng Xiaotian and his three children, along with Xu Xin's three children.

The seven of them formed a team called the Shadow Palace Team.

It was mainly Feng Xiaotian and his three friends who were involved; Xu Xin's three children were just there for show.

Of the three of them, apart from their second son Xu Ruobing, the other two are only at the Soul Venerable level. They are still a bit lacking. They can kill some minor soldiers and generals, but they are not good enough to fight against Soul Kings or the like.

"Without teachers, there would be no Xiaotian today; it is all thanks to teachers."

A hint of emotion flickered across Feng Xiaotian's usually cold face. In the City of Slaughter, he had learned to kill and to be cruel over the past year, but a soft spot in his heart always remained.

He did not succumb to despair, he did not fall into depravity...

"Alright, alright, don't I know what kind of personality I have?"

"It's all the result of your own hard work, there's no need to belittle yourselves."

"If you hadn't cultivated yourselves properly, you wouldn't have achieved such results."

Xu Xin looked at the four people below with satisfaction. They had all reached the Soul King level, or even the high-level Soul King level.

Feng Xiaotian: Level 57 Soul King. He has been in the Slaughter City for the past two years without cultivating his soul power, so his level has stagnated, but his strength has improved.

Huo Wu: Level 56 Soul King, fifth soul ring 80,000 years, almost reaching 100,000 years, but ultimately lacks that talent.

Shui Bing'er: Level 57 Soul King, fifth soul ring 8 years old.

Ye Lingling: Level 55 Soul King, fifth soul ring 7 years old.

These four individuals are incredibly powerful, and they even possess a trump card, so they have no worries whatsoever even if they encounter Qian Renxue.

Xu Xin knew that the Spirit Hall team this time included Qian Renxue, the Pope, who was also quite young and perfectly met the requirements. Furthermore, the team boasted powerful members from the Golden Generation.

The Spirit Hall team also has 3 Soul Kings and 1 Soul Saint... Yes, a Soul Saint. In two years, even though Qian Renxue was busy, she still managed to advance to the level of Soul Saint, and is currently a level 73 Soul Saint.

Their strength has increased even further.

"Your senior sister is already a level 73 Soul Saint. Do you have confidence?"

Xu Xin looked at the four people below and spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, teacher. We're no match for Senior Sister if we fight one-on-one, but the three of us together will definitely surprise her."

Huo Wu chuckled. She was very confident about this. Now that Feng Xiaotian was back, there was naturally no problem.

Shui Bing'er nodded, not thinking that Huo Wu had said anything wrong.

"It's good that you have confidence. If you encounter your junior sister, be lenient with her and don't be foolish enough to kill her."

"Especially the three of you, your junior sister might not be able to beat you."

Xu Xin looked down at the three little ones and said this casually.

“Father, we went there to broaden our horizons. We mainly relied on our senior brothers; they knew what to do.”

Xu Ruohan looked at Xu Xin and said seriously that they knew his strength, and he could also see that this grand event was actually just a battle for his senior brothers and sisters.

The first and second place winners will definitely be between the Shadow Hall and the Spirit Hall, but it's still unknown who will take third place.

But that's enough.

As for the competition among their own disciples, it doesn't really matter who gets the reward.

"You guys go and get ready, the competition starts in three days."

Xu Xin waved, and the seven of them walked outside happily, taking Feng Xiaotian out for a good meal. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they also brought along Dugu Yan and Di Qiu'er.

Watching the group leave, Xu Xin disappeared from the spot and reappeared at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Xu Xin suddenly appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's room: "Zhuqing!"

Xu Xin called out softly.

Zhu Zhuqing turned around excitedly, staring blankly at the man in front of her: "Teacher, what brings you here?"

Xu Xin smiled faintly: "You've reached level 38. You haven't slacked off in the past two years. Even without any immortal herbs, you've still managed to get to this level."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him shyly: "Thanks to the teacher's pills and Xuan Tian Gong, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have such high soul power now."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke honestly, while Xu Xin shook his head. Xu Xin knew that he hadn't done anything; he hadn't given Zhu Zhuqing any immortal herbs, only a pill, a soul bone, and a cultivation technique.

The rest of the time was spent free-range, mainly relying on Zhu Zhuqing's efforts. In the past two years, Zhu Zhuqing has been cultivating from morning to night, without wasting a single moment.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today.

Although it was still a bit slow in Xu Xin's eyes, to a normal person, this was genius, an absolute genius.

"Not bad. I'll give you another surprise after the Soul Master Competition."

Xu Xin looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said calmly, "After the Soul Master Competition ends, it's time for Zhu Zhuqing to return to the Shadow Hall."

It's time for the real show to begin.
