In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 69. Heavenly Feather Dragon-Slaying Dance!

Five days later.

The highly anticipated round-robin tournament has finally arrived. If the first round of elimination matches was just a warm-up, the second round-robin tournament is the real clash between the strongest teams.

The 68 teams in the youth group and the 67 teams in the junior group will be divided into eight groups, with each group having eight or nine teams. A single round-robin tournament will be held within each group, and only the top two teams from each group can advance to the next round.

The hostess of the Butterfly Martial Soul floated above the Soul Arena, her voice resounding throughout the entire Star Luo Square through her soul power.

"Round-robin tournament, junior group, first match, Shrek Academy vs... Tianlongmen, the match format will be drawn now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a specially made six-sided die fell from the sky. After rolling for a while, the words "Single" came into everyone's view.

"Junior Group, the first match, Shrek Academy vs. Tianlong Gatekeeper, will be a single-elimination tournament. Please welcome the first players from each side to enter the arena."

Seeing the three assassins—two men and one woman—eager to try, Bei Bei quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect towards their leader, Li Wannian, and said, "Teacher Li, my inheritance is the Dragon Slayer Saber, which provides a damage bonus of up to 100% when fighting against dragon-type martial souls. Moreover, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Sect share the same lineage, but our relationship has never been good. For both personal and professional reasons, I should go first."

After pondering for a moment, Li Wannian finally nodded.

Seeing that the captain of the Shrek team had taken to the stage, Yu Tianlong, the captain of the Tianlong Sect, naturally would not be outdone and walked steadily onto the Soul Battle Stage.

"Tianlong Gate... Jade Heavenly Dragon."

"Bebe, a student of Shrek Academy, the senior disciple of the Tang Sect, and the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan!"

After exchanging greetings, the two retreated to the edge of the Soul Arena with perfect understanding, and a great battle was about to break out.

"Both sides are ready, the match...begins!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, four spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, and one black, rose from beneath Bei Bei's feet. Holding the Dragon Slayer Blade, he used the Ghost Shadow Step to rush towards Yu Tianlong.

Against a dragon-type martial soul, no matter how fancy the soul skills are, they are no match for this one strike!

Watching Beibei approach, Yu Tianlong used the Thunder Condensation Sword to strike the blade of the Dragon Slayer Saber with perfect accuracy.

clang!

With a clanging sound of metal clashing, both Beibei and Yu Tianlong were knocked back five steps by the impact. This attack was simple and unadorned, without any fancy moves, just a pure clash of forces. It seemed evenly matched, but in reality, Yu Tianlong suffered a hidden loss.

There's nothing we can do; the Dragon Slayer Saber has an inherent advantage against dragon-type martial souls.

"Dragon Transformation!"

With a roar, streaks of blue lightning spread from Yu Tianlong's body, and blue-purple scales covered his entire body. In just a few breaths, he completed the dragon transformation ritual.

To be honest, Yu Tianlong in his dragon form is extremely ugly... no, that's not right. Rather than extremely ugly, it's more accurate to say that he doesn't conform to human aesthetics, just like people don't think the Silver Dragon King in his dragon form is good-looking.

Yu Tianlong stepped forward, his Thunder Sword aimed directly at Bei Bei's right wrist.

Beibei hurriedly pulled back the Dragon Slayer Sword and tilted the blade to block Yu Tianlong's attack. Her clumsy technique showed that she hadn't practiced swordsmanship for many days.

Seeing this, Yu Tianlong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Beibei, you're really useless. You don't even learn swordsmanship. This Dragon-Slaying Saber is a waste in your hands."

Beibei scoffed. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to improve soul power instead of learning swordsmanship? What's the use of techniques? He believed in overwhelming force!

Although Bei Bei was strong, she only knew the most basic slashing and punching techniques, relying mainly on a knife. Although Yu Tianlong was weak, his swordsmanship was decent, and he knew how to advance and retreat based on the situation. For a time, the two were locked in a fierce battle, evenly matched.

Three minutes later.

Beibei was getting impatient. He feinted with his sword, forcing Yu Tianlong back, and at the same time, he used the wings of the Holy Dragon of Light to soar into the air, brandishing the Dragon Slayer Blade in his hand, heading straight for Yu Tianlong's head, trying to increase the force by using the gravitational potential energy generated by the rapid descent.

The moment Yu Tianlong saw Beibei fly into the air, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

"Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies!"

Yu Tianlong and his clone flew into the air with the help of the Thunder Dragon's wings, moving at high speed around Bei Bei.

"Self-Soul Fusion Technique... Heavenly Feather Dragon-Slaying Dance!"

A person and a clone formed an energy field around Beibei. Under the blue-purple light, Beibei felt as if her body was filled with lead. Even a simple action like raising her hand required immense strength.

"Beibei lost." Qin Yi shook his head, his expression a little strange. Losing a match isn't shameful, but if he lost to Yu Tianlong... well, Beibei would be utterly humiliated.

With a flash of blue-purple light, the person and their identity completed a combined attack... no, a self-fusion martial soul technique. Bei Bei fell heavily onto the fighting platform like a kite with a broken string.

"Hmph, some people are completely out of touch with reality. They only believe that powerful self-created soul skills are the only way to fight enemies of higher levels, and they disdain practicing swordsmanship and saber techniques."

After defeating Bei Bei, Yu Tianlong was even happier than when he won the championship. His lineage had finally gotten a chance to hold their heads high and defeat Bei Bei in a head-on battle.

"Single elimination round, first match, Tianlongmen wins! Please welcome the second member of the Shrek team to the stage."

After Bei Bei was carried off the Soul Fighting Platform by two assassins, Xu Sanshi went directly onto the platform without asking Li Wannian for permission.

"Both sides are ready, the match...begins!"

"Black Rhino Armor, combine!"

Armor combination!

In just a few breaths, Xu Sanshi entered his armored form, leaving a blur as his Meteor Spear pierced straight toward Yu Tianlong's heart!

Fast! It was incredibly fast! Xu Sanshi, in his armored combined state, doubled his speed. Even though Yu Tianlong reacted quickly enough and used his Thunder Sword to protect his heart, the Heavenly Feather Dragon Slaying Dance had almost drained all of his soul power. In just the first collision, the powerful impact forced him to drop the Thunder Sword and fall backward.

Xu Sanshi held back, but not completely. The tip of the Meteor Spear tilted down an inch and pierced Yu Tianlong's lung!

"asshole!"

A female healing-type Soul Master from the Tianlongmen queue quickly stepped onto the Soul Battle Stage, unleashing healing-type Soul Skills at Yu Tianlong as if they were free.

"Referee, I'm reporting that the Shrek team isn't competing, they're killing people! Yu Tianlong was clearly incapacitated, yet Xu Sanshi persisted and even punctured his lung."

The leader of the Tianlongmen team pointed at Xu Sanshi on the stage and shouted at him.
