Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 159 The Public Reaction Triggered by the Holy Spirit Cult

The young man sent by Tiandu Academy was indeed quite powerful. A loud roar rang out, and a sharp aura burst forth from his body. A long-handled battle sword appeared in his palm, with five spirit rings—two yellow and three purple—circling around it. Without a doubt, this was his martial spirit.

The two sides quickly approached each other, and just as they were about to meet, the young man from Tiandu Academy suddenly leaped up, his first spirit ring shining brightly, and unleashed a crescent slash at the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect in mid-air.

The young man from the Holy Spirit Sect also possessed five spirit rings, but with the optimal ratio. Seeing his opponent unleash a crescent slash, his body suddenly twisted strangely, as if he had become his own shadow, causing his opponent to instantly lose sight of him. The crescent slash struck the steel ground behind him, leaving a deep mark. Simultaneously, a black tornado swept up from the ground, emitting a mournful howl, heading straight for the young man from the Heavenly Capital Academy.

The young man from Tiandu Academy was in the air, at the height of his power. His third spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, and the battle blade in his hand created three afterimages. This time, three even more powerful blade beams were unleashed. The moment the blade beams flew out, a strong yellow light burst forth from the young man's entire body, like the sun descending.

This battle blade spirit is truly remarkable. On the battlefield, its power is likely to surpass that of ordinary offensive spirits. A yellow blade of light shot out, and a sharp whistling sound echoed through the air wherever it passed.

This move is called the Three-Month Sun Slash, a relatively powerful Thousand-Year Soul Technique.

The tornado that was about to engulf him was instantly cleaved in two. The three blade beams actually overlapped in the air, and then suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny blade beams that shot outwards.

Whether in terms of attack intensity, control, or power, this strike was remarkable, prompting the teams in the rest area to nod in approval.

Just when everyone thought the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect would be unable to continue his attack, the shredded black smoke suddenly dissipated outwards. Then, as if fading in the air, it transformed into purple, before abruptly converging inwards. Within the dense purple smoke, a purple skull flashed and disappeared.

Of course, ordinary people would not be able to see clearly what was inside. Apart from the titled Douluo, only Lin Chen and Huo Yuhao could see the skull that flashed by inside.

The next moment, the smoke dissipated, transforming into a beam of energy that shot into the distance, where it condensed again in the air to form the image of the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect, who then gracefully landed.

The young man from Tiandu Academy reappeared in the air, but his eyes had completely lost their luster. He, who had previously exuded masculinity, was now deathly pale. The battle sword in his hand shattered instantly, and he plummeted from the sky, falling to the ground and unable to get up.

"Tiandu Academy member, fallen in battle. Next," the referee said expressionlessly.

In competitions, accidents like death are bound to happen. Moreover, given that the Sun Moon Empire is colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, it is even less likely that it will care about the lives of contestants from other countries. On the contrary, the Sun Moon Empire's goal is to use this competition to eliminate the younger generation of other countries.

When the referee uttered the words "died in battle," the waiting area of ​​Tiandu Academy erupted in commotion. The team members all stood up, glaring angrily at the Holy Spirit Sect members in the adjacent waiting area.

The young contestant from the Holy Spirit Sect on the competition stage rushed out directly from the rest area of ​​the pavilion. After he left, a few people from the Holy Spirit Sect slowly emerged. According to the rules, they should have had six more people. However, in reality, only three people came out. Tang Ya was not among them; instead, there were three young men with cold faces, varying in build, but all with equally icy and sinister eyes.

"How could you kill someone?" The teacher in charge of the group stood up angrily in the rest area of ​​Tiandu Academy and made a strong protest.

"People have died in previous matches. If you're so capable, you can kill our people too."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the people of the Holy Spirit Cult.

After dealing with the Wang family last time, Lin Chen had been gathering information about the remaining members of the Wang family. To his surprise, Wang Lei's son was not dead and had been brought to the Holy Spirit Cult by the man in black robes. Over the years, he had dealt with most of the remaining members of the Wang family. Now, he could take this opportunity to kill Wang Xiaolei.

He said it himself! If they have the ability, they can kill their people too, so Lin Chen has no choice but to grant their wish.

Two people from Tiandu Academy went up and carried their partner's body down. When they lifted the body of the player from the first match, a large amount of blood gushed from his seven orifices, staining a large area of ​​the competition stage red.

The teachers at Tiandu Academy made the right decision in an instant: to withdraw from this competition.

This teacher is quite open-minded. He knows that life is the most important thing. Everyone is here to participate in the competition just to gain experience. What's the point of gaining experience if you lose your life?

"What are your thoughts?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

Wang Qiu'er's face was expressionless, but the clenched fist in her hand betrayed her inner thoughts at that moment.

As for Lin Chen, he replied, "Just kill him."

Even Zhang Lexuan, with her strong personality, nodded slightly at this moment, agreeing with Lin Chen's statement.

It is clear that Zhang Lexuan also hates the Holy Spirit Cult very much. In the past, some classmates and dormitory leaders were killed by evil soul masters when they were carrying out inspection team missions. Lin Chen was provoked by the Holy Spirit Cult many times, which is why the two sides became enemies.

In Lin Chen's understanding, whether one is righteous or evil, everyone has the opportunity to become the strongest; it all depends on the individual.

Power is inanimate, but people are alive. It is righteous when used for good and evil when used for evil. It is all determined by people. In the end, it is still a contest of who has the greater power and who has the right to speak.

"That concludes the morning's matches. Teams participating this afternoon should not be late. Teams that have already played can stay at the hotel to rest and prepare for the following matches," the referee reminded them.

"Let's go," Zhang Lexuan said to the two of them.

Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er nodded and followed Zhang Lexuan out of the spectator stands.

The same applies to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong on the other side.

"Senior Sister, you guys go back first, I still have some things to do." As the three of them walked back to the hotel, Wang Qiu'er suddenly said.

"Then be careful," Zhang Lexuan said.

Wang Qiu'er nodded and left.

'It seems this little soul beast has never seen such an evil cultivation method before!' Lin Chen thought to himself, but he was more than happy to have one less third wheel.
