Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 218 Tang San: "That's why I took action."

Elder Xuan scanned the entire area, his gaze lingering on the first-year students' area for a while.

This year is quite special. In the past, first graders were not allowed to participate in the reserve team assessment, but this year's first graders are as strong as monsters.

Master Mu's two young apprentices, Bai'er and Maidemos, are in the first year, so I need to keep a close eye on them.

As for Beibei, Mu En's great-grandson, Mu En and Xuanzi told him some time ago not to worry too much about Beibei, just make sure he doesn't die.

Finally, Genko glanced at Sui, who was warming up, and his eyes showed satisfaction.

A week ago, Huo Suier successfully emerged from seclusion, her martial soul evolving completely from the Taotie Spirit Sheep into the Taotie, making her the human with the purest Taotie bloodline in the history of Douluo Continent.

"Now, the game begins!"

Xuanzi's figure vanished instantly, arriving at a high platform in the Soul Fighting Zone. Leaning against the wall, he picked up a flask of wine and watched the match below intently.

At this moment, a tall, silver-haired old man came to Xuanzi's side. The old man had a ruddy complexion and showed no signs of declining energy or spirit.

"Xuanzi, won't you give me a pot?"

Xuanzi glanced at the person who had just arrived, then took out another jar from his storage soul tool and handed it to him, saying:

"Why did you suddenly decide to come here?"

Long Xiaoyao took the wine jug, drank a few sips, and said:
"Come over here and see the talent of Shrek's younger generation."

"Back in the day, my teammates and I also competed against Shrek on the competition stage."

"It's a pity that I lost to Moon by a few moves back then."

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Long Xiaoyao's gray eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Xuanzi chuckled a few times and said, "Then you can broaden your horizons this time."

"There are quite a few monsters in Shrek Academy this year!"

Long Xiaoyao stroked his stylish beard, looked down at the competition stage, and said:

"Is that girl in the second-grade area your granddaughter?"

"Your aura is just like yours, but much stronger."

"Your martial spirit should be stronger than yours."

Xuanzi loved hearing others praise his ears of grain, and he said with a smile:
"Pretty much. There should only be two of us with the Taotie bloodline on the entire continent."

"That's my prized student."

"We originally wanted to put her in the starting team, but she disagreed."

"With this girl's strength, she's no match for the regular team in a head-on fight."

"It would have been just right to oust the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, what a pity."

Long Xiaoyao had long heard about the conflict between Shrek Academy and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion actually dared to assassinate Mu En! That's something only Scorpion Daddy would do.

Xuanzi casually tossed a few chicken legs to Long Xiaoyao and said:
"Let's drink with chicken legs."

"I won't eat it, Sui won't let me."

Long Xiaoyao waved his hand dismissively, swatting the chicken legs back at them, saying:
"Don't disgust me."

"I'm not eating your chicken leg."

"I've been so busy these past few days, a bunch of people have come to test Shrek Academy."

Xuanzi took the chicken leg back and said to Long Xiaoyao:
"Didn't I just clean up a batch of them a while ago?"

"here we go again?"

Long Xiaoyao looked down and said:

"Didn't Shrek Academy abolish the city lord recommendation letter system?"

"Moreover, they are willing to recruit commoners without soul power, and the whole continent knows that Shrek Academy has begun an unprecedented reform."

"The three great empires couldn't sit still any longer and have been sending people here to investigate the situation."

"Hehe, I heard that the two old brothers, Tianhun and Douling, are thinking of dividing up Shrek Academy if it becomes too weak due to the reforms."

"Heavenly Soul requires Martial Soul System, Battle Spirit requires Soul Guidance System."

"That's incredibly stupid!"

"It almost made Moon and me laugh."

"It's not a big deal that the Heavenly Soul Empire has the Body Sect, but if Shrek Academy is weak, they really can do that."

"What Tom, Dick, and Harry do you mean by the Douling Empire?"

Xuanzi's eyes were also unfriendly, revealing murderous intent as he said:

"I knew these empires were restless, but I didn't expect them to be so brave?"

Long Xiaoyao waved his hand and said:
"Ignorance is bliss, that's normal."

“Yesterday, Moon and I took a walk through the palaces of the three great empires.”

"Ha, seeing that the two of us are still alive, the eyes of these emperors and royal retainers have become much clearer."

"There are quite a few familiar faces among those offerings."

"Hahaha!"

"The match has started, let's take a look."

Xuanzi nodded and began to watch the competition below.

"Butterfly, let's go! The rest of us will go find Sister Sui!"

After the melee began, Feng Jin pulled Xia Die and Ti Bao towards Sui.

Behe and Medemus followed closely behind.

Just then, a very conspicuous martial spirit fluctuation appeared at the edge of the Soul Arena. Accompanied by a white light, a Netherworld White Tiger with a body length of over eight meters and a height of over two meters appeared in the arena.

A deafening tiger's roar swept across the entire arena, then, accompanied by a transparent wave of energy, it charged fiercely towards Medemus!

The Netherworld White Tiger ignored all the core disciples, only having eyes for Maidemus.

Seeing this, Medemos stopped in his tracks, his golden eyes slightly lowered, and said:
"This guy."

"You guys go over there, I'll handle him."

"Hmph, he wants to make us the target of everyone's criticism."

That's right, that's Dai Huabin's goal. He knew perfectly well that even if he fused with Zhu Lu's martial soul, he would never be a match for Maidemus.

He didn't want to win; he just wanted to lose with Medemos! Medemos activated his Martial Soul, two Soul Rings shimmering around his body, golden-red armor covering his body, and a lion's head appearing on his left shoulder.

Enveloped in crimson flames, he collided head-on with the Netherworld White Tiger, unleashing powerful energy fluctuations that scattered the surrounding core disciples with a fierce wind.

After training at the Sea God Pavilion for some time, Madmos has reached level twenty-nine. He pressed his palm firmly against the head of the Netherworld White Tiger and then slammed it into the ground!

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Soul Battle Arena as a result. The Netherworld White Tiger let out a mournful cry, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu inside the body turned pale and felt a sweet taste in their throats.

"This guy's gotten even stronger!"

The Netherworld White Tiger twisted its body frantically, trying to break free from Madmos's large hand, but how could the two of them possibly contend with the ultimate power?

The Netherworld White Tiger's head was pressed firmly to the ground, its body writhing like a wild dog with its spine broken.

Subsequently, Dai Huabin changed tactics, and the Netherworld White Tiger condensed a blazing white light in its mouth, preparing to deliver a fierce blow to Medemos at close range.

Medemos glanced at it, then clenched his empty hand into a fist, preparing to smash the Netherworld White Tiger in one go and send these two clowns down.

“Hey, Beibei, I think this is a good opportunity.”

"Let's cooperate with them and eliminate that guy named Medmos first!"

As Xu Sanshi parried the attacks from the surrounding students, he spoke to Bei Bei beside him.

Beibei considered the possibility for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Done!"

Xu Sanshi grinned and said:

"I went first!"

"Xuanming replacement!"

The core disciple closest to Maidemus and the Netherworld White Tiger vanished instantly, and Xu Sanshi appeared beside them.

The first and third spirit rings lit up together, and a violent shock spread outwards from him. Then, a huge water element condensed into a long whip and attacked Medemos.

The core disciples around them also realized what was happening and, after thinking for a while, decided to eliminate Medemos first, since everyone present had heard of Medemos's reputation.

At this moment, Beibei used her third soul skill, Thunderous Fury, and her fourth soul skill, Thunderous Dragon Head. The bursting lightning condensed into a blue thunderous dragon head and charged fiercely towards Medmos.

Just then, a golden light flashed, blocking the Thunder Dragon's head. The dazzling golden light, like a flowing blazing sun, engulfed the Thunder Dragon's head and then rushed towards Beibei.

Beibei's eyes narrowed, and he used the Ghostly Shadow Step to dodge. His dragon-like sense of danger made him quickly raise his right arm and dragon claw to defend himself.

A large blue and white sword, gleaming with a cold light and flowing with golden light, slashed straight at Beibei.

"Clang!"

Beibei gasped, wincing in pain. The blue dragon scales were shattered, and the crimson blood had been evaporated by the intense heat before it could even flow out.

He hurriedly retreated, but the golden light clung tightly to him, and the core disciples passing by were knocked unconscious by the golden light at an extremely difficult angle.

"White Calamity..."

Beibei recognized her opponent and was about to use her soul skill again when she saw her opponent suddenly disappear. A spatial fluctuation came from behind her, and a door opened instantly. Bai E swung his sword and slashed at her back.

Beibei's eyes narrowed as a tearing pain shot through her back, and a horrific wound spread across her back.

As soon as he turned his head, he found that the person had disappeared again. A phantom door appeared next to Medemos, and Bai E rushed out of it, bursting out with golden light and repelling all attacks.

Xu Sanshi was no exception; he hurriedly stopped his attack, retreated quickly, and then shouted:
"Beibei! Where are you?!"

"Why did my buddy have to go all the way?"

Beibei showed Xu Sanshi the injuries on her back with a helpless expression, leaving him speechless.

With no further interference, Medemos punched the Netherworld White Tiger's head, causing Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu inside to cough up blood and faint.

Medemos casually kicked the two players off the field, then looked at Bai Er and said:
"coming."

Bai Er smiled and said:
"We're partners."

Just then, waves of earthy yellow ripples spread across the ground, and countless giant rocks rose from the earth, separating the remaining core disciples who had gathered together.

A girl exuding the aura of a primordial beast and surrounded by an earthy yellow light stood on a mountain rock. Behind her, a strange and ferocious beast with the body of a goat, the face of a human, tiger teeth, and human claws could be vaguely seen.

"Hey, are you all ganging up on my younger siblings like this?"

Standing beside Huo Suier were Feng Jin, Ti Bao, and Xia Die. The four of them leaped over to stand next to Maidemos and Bai E.

The six people were in the center of the field, surrounded by the core disciples who were separated by the mountain rocks.

Beibei's face showed helplessness. This was the last thing he wanted to see. If the six of them joined forces, things would get complicated.

On the far edge, Jiang Nannan, along with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, were hiding.

Xiao Xiao whispered:

"They're probably about to start a team fight, so let's play defensively."

"Fight the last team."

"If they're in too good shape, we'll just jump."

Wang Dong smacked his lips and said:
"If you ask me, we should just skip it."

"Participation in this reserve team is not mandatory."

"I got beaten up for nothing."

Xiao Xiao, with a face full of black lines, said:
"Don't worry, if Sister Sui and the others win, there will still be one spot left, and we will still have a chance."

“Our relationship with Bai Er and the others isn’t bad.”

It's unclear whether it triggered some keyword, but the golden trident on Wang Dong's forehead emitted a faint glow.

"Bai E? Let me see what's going on."

A wisp of divine sense peeked out and saw the situation on the ground, but because of the shielding provided by the Butterfly Goddess and Huo Yuhao, this divine sense did not detect any abnormality in Wang Dong's body.

"I see."

"They're selecting reserve players."

"This is a great opportunity to gather information!"

"As a member of the Tang family, even if I only have a third of the family's resources, I should not say such discouraging things!"

"Dad will lend you a hand!"

Tang San, the Sea God residing in the God Realm, sensed the situation in the lower realm. With a slight flick of his finger, he transmitted something down into the lower realm.

On the field, Wang Dong didn't notice that the Haotian Hammer inside his body was faintly emitting golden-blue patterns.
