Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 298 On the Stage
"Yuhao..." He Caitou seemed to sense something and tried to persuade him, but he only saw Huo Yuhao's very determined eyes.

"Senior brother, the academy has invested so much in training me to complete the Extreme Individual Soldier Program. The Extreme Individual Soldier Program is designed to allow individuals to fully utilize their strengths to achieve the greatest effect."

"Now is the time to test the results of the academy's training, and no one is more suitable for this task than me, who has simulated soul skills."

“But that place is—” He Caitou didn’t finish his sentence, but he knew that Huo Yuhao would understand what he meant.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced around and saw that some spectators were still focused on the rest area. He didn't say anything more, but simply shook his head slightly.

"We'll talk about it when we get back to the hotel." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the ring.

"Xiaoya..."

On the arena, the Unbreakable Douluo had already given the signal to start the match, but Bei Bei remained standing still without making a move, only calling out softly.

Tang Ya, on the other side, ignored him completely, her dark blue aura swirling around her as she flew forward rapidly.

As the two drew closer, seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—rose one by one from beneath Tang Ya's feet.

The ability to devour the life of others to enhance one's cultivation is the most brutal, direct, and effective ability, even among evil soul masters.

Moreover, Tang Ya's targets for consumption are not limited to humans; whether it's plants or soul beasts, these can all help her improve.

His third spirit ring lit up, and a dark purple net descended upon Bei Bei.

Seven spirit rings.

Beibei paused for a moment, then finally released her martial soul. As blue-purple lightning rose, an electric net also rushed towards Tang Ya.

As the electric grid and the large net woven from blue silver grass became entangled, Beibei's gaze seemed to pass through them, landing on Tang Ya with endless longing.

"Xiaoya, I miss you so much..."

Tang Ya seemed to pause slightly, and the next moment, her fourth spirit ring lit up, and streaks of blue silver grass, like a forest of spears, pierced out from under Bei Bei's feet.

However, Bei Bei seemed to have been prepared. The moment the spirit rings around Tang Ya lit up, Bei Bei had already taken off and left the spot.

Thunder roared, and Beibei stretched out his hand, his arm already covered with dragon scales. Blue-purple electricity flowed continuously across the dragon scales, turning his face blue.

A few low cheers rose from the surrounding stands. In the previous elimination rounds, BeiBei had taken the stage more than once, but no matter who his opponent was, he always fell to this thunderous roar.

Tang Ya waved her hand, and countless blue silver grasses flew back, seemingly trying to block Bei Bei's attack.

Even as an evil soul master, how could her fragile Blue Silver Grass withstand Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw?

Countless vines shattered one after another, and just as the lightning bolt that had transformed into a dragon's head was heading straight for Tang Ya's face, Bei Bei's figure suddenly stopped.

The Thunder Dragon Claw didn't harm Tang Ya in the slightest; it only caused the strong wind to blow her straw hat off to the ground.

Looking at the face she had longed for day and night, now so close, Beibei's eyes softened with tenderness.

"Xiaoya, no matter what you've been through, come back with me, okay?"

Bei Bei spoke again, her voice not carrying far, but both the referee on the stage, Bu Po Douluo, and the other spectators around her noticed something to some extent.

Although Beibei held back more than once, that was only when she was certain of winning. But the current situation is probably more than just a matter of the outcome being decided.

Many people looked on with curiosity, quite interested in what was going on between the two contestants on stage.

However, just as everyone was anticipating Tang Ya's response, her fifth spirit ring suddenly lit up. The jet-black spirit ring brought an oppressive aura, and then, a Blue Silver Grass gleaming with dark purple light pierced through Bei Bei's right chest like a spear.

"puff--"

The massive impact caused Beibei to stagger back several steps. In the Shrek Academy rest area, the spectators who were watching the battle all stood up.

Beibei could feel his life force rapidly draining away, but he still endured the pain and raised his head to look tenderly at Tang Ya in front of him.

Tang Ya, on the other side, did not continue to pursue. Instead, she walked to the side, picked up the straw hat from the ground, and put it back on her head.

The draped veil blocked Beibei's view, seemingly isolating him from another world.

"I'm sorry, I can't go back."

After saying that, Tang Ya turned to look at the Unbreakable Douluo beside her, "We can announce the results now."

While Bu Po Douluo was still hesitating, he heard Wang Yan rush to the edge of the arena and declare, "We concede this match."

Beibei's rash entry and injury have completely disrupted his plans. Moreover, Tang Ya's reappearance after being missing for so long shows that her strength has reached the level of a Soul Saint.

Regardless of Beibei's thoughts, he couldn't let Beibei continue competing with Tang Ya.

Bei Bei on the arena was completely stunned. Neither Bu Po Douluo's words nor Wang Yan's words of admitting defeat reached his ears.

After Tang Ya spoke, he could no longer hear any other sounds.

He had assumed that Tang Ya had some kind of hardship or that she was being controlled, but he never imagined that Tang Ya was actually conscious. Moreover, her response just now clearly showed that she recognized him and understood what he was saying.

Even so, she still rejected him.

His life force was constantly draining away, but the pain in his chest was far less than the anguish in his heart.

"boom--"

Suddenly, Beibei's body lay stiffly on the ring.

Tang Ya swayed slightly, but remained standing, looking towards Shrek Academy's location. "Who's next?"

On a high platform to the side, Xu Tianran was watching the match on the arena with a group of ministers when he suddenly turned to look at Zhongli Wu.

"Grand Preceptor, it seems that your disciple has quite a connection with Shrek Academy."

“That’s true.” Zhongli Wu nodded, and was about to explain when he suddenly saw a soldier climb onto the platform and walk to Xu Tianran’s side.

Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and saw the soldier whispering a few words in his ear. In an instant, Xu Tianran's face turned quite ugly.

"Is this serious?"

"The message came from the people in charge of detecting soul tools."

"Hmph." Xu Tianran suddenly sneered, "Good, very good. Pass down the order to let the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Corps enter Mingdu."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi and Zhong Li Wu, who were standing nearby, both turned to look at him.

Xu Tianran showed no intention of explaining, nor did he feel like watching the game anymore. He turned around and headed off the stage in his wheelchair.
