"I declare Zhao Tao the winner, advancing to the quarterfinals!"

Seeing this dangerous scene, the Soul Master acting as referee quickly declared Zhao Tao the winner.

After all, his duty is to ensure that there are as few casualties as possible during the competition.

"I can't believe I lost!"

"Zhao Tao, you are indeed a strong person. In the future, I will definitely surpass you!"

Although defeated by Zhao Tao, Jiang Xiu did not appear too disappointed; instead, his eyes were filled with respect and fighting spirit.

"Alright, I welcome your challenge."

"However, I suggest you don't make me your target, otherwise... your Dao heart will definitely be shattered!"

With that, Zhao Tao turned around gracefully and walked off the stage amidst the applause of the audience.

"Brother Tao, you're so handsome!"

"Yes, I heard he's a top contender from Tianhai City, a real favorite to win! Brother Tao, you're truly my idol forever!"

Seeing Zhao Tao return to the rest area, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, and other Class Zero students surrounded him, their faces full of admiration.

"It was just average, nothing special. Let's go back to the hotel."

"Let's take a break at noon, arrange some tactics, and then we'll have a team competition in the afternoon."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, which seemed to revere a deity, Zhao Tao simply smiled modestly, then returned to Gu Yue's side and gently took her hand. They walked towards the hotel.

After a midday break, the afternoon team competition proceeded as scheduled.

In this round of the competition, Gu Yue, Zhao Tao, and Xie Xie will compete.

Their opponents were a team from the Soul Master Academy of Hanhai City. Hanhai City, like Tianhai City, is one of the five first-tier cities in the East China Sea region.

In previous years, their performance in the Soul Master Competition was almost second only to Tianhai City, consistently ranking in the top three.

However, the team from the Soul Master Academy of Hanhai City also participated in the seven-person competition.

Only members of the second team remained to participate in the three-person competition.

Even so, the team from Hanhai City consisted of three Soul Masters, who cooperated extremely well, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.

Of course, good cooperation between Soul Masters can often produce a "one plus one is greater than two" effect.

But Douluo Continent is ultimately a world where the strong are respected.

Absolute strength is enough to crush the alliances and schemes of the weak.

Although the cultivation level of the second team of Hanhai City seems to belong to the strong.

But in terms of strength, they are truly dwarfs!

Even though Zhao Tao and Gu Yue haven't gone all out yet.

But in less than half a minute, they swept aside Hanhai City's second team, won the game, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

"Brother Tao, Brother Tao, you and Sister Gu Yue have both made it to the top eight! How about we go out for dinner together to celebrate?"

Looking at Zhao Tao's triumphant start, Tang Wulin also made a suggestion with some excitement.

Although the hotel's buffet was good, the portions were limited.

Recalling the seafood feast he had when he first arrived in Tianhai City, Tang Wulin also wanted to "borrow some money" from Zhao Tao.

"They're only in the quarterfinals, not the championship, what's there to celebrate?"

"I think, Wu Lin, you're just drooling!"

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao patted him on the shoulder, immediately seeing through his little scheme.

"Brother Tao, you really understand me, hehe!"

Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, Tang Wulin scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Although you haven't won the Soul Master Competition yet, didn't you win the Forging Competition, Brother Tao? Isn't that something to celebrate?"

Then, he looked at Zhao Tao expectantly and defended himself.

"Alright, since we're already here, it would be a shame not to try the delicious food of Tianhai City. So, I'll treat you to another grand meal!"

"Wu Lin, do you think Brother Tao is good to you?"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled and agreed to his request. After all, he had to play the role of Tang Wulin's older brother well.

As the elder brother, it is also very necessary to take care of the younger brother and cultivate his gratitude.

"Yay, long live Brother Tao!"

Amidst Tang Wulin's cheers.

The group from Class Zero set off in a grand procession, embarking on a thoroughly enjoyable culinary journey.

By the time they finished this extremely lavish dinner, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the Zero Team members were satisfied and embarked on their journey back to the hotel. Just as they passed through a relatively deserted street...

A dark figure suddenly rushed out from the alleyway beside the street, exuding a terrifying and sinister aura, and charged towards Xu Xiaoyan, attempting to snatch her away. "Xiaoyan, watch out, there's an attack!"

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing black shadow, Zhao Tao's mind stirred, and his Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul manifested with lightning speed, his second purple soul ring flashing!

"A fleeting moment of beauty!"

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul in its hand released two ripples of light that enveloped Xu Xiaoyan and the suddenly appearing black shadow respectively.

With the enhancement of Zhao Tao's soul skill, the figure's speed was slowed down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a flash of silver light appeared on Gu Yue's body, activating spatial teleportation and transporting Xu Xiaoyan to a safe area. "Phew, that was close! I almost got captured!"

"Who on earth dares to attack us?"

Having escaped the risk of being suddenly abducted, Xu Xiaoyan's face was still pale, and she was panting heavily, looking like she was still in shock.

At this moment, the members of Class Zero also got a clear look at the attacker's appearance.

This is a middle-aged man who is around forty years old.

He was tall and thin, with a pale complexion from being deprived of sunlight for a long time. His fingers were dry, thin, and long, with sharp, grayish-black nails, making him look like a vampire.

His hair was sparse and gray, disheveled, and there was a hideous old scar on his face that ran diagonally from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth, making him look terrifying. His whole body exuded an evil and sinister aura, and the air seemed to turn cold as soon as he appeared.

"Hehehehe, I didn't expect my luck to be so good today!"

Looking at the group of Class Zero protecting Xu Xiaoyan in the middle, the middle-aged man with an unusual appearance had a sinister and greedy look in his eyes, like a vulture looking for its prey.

"The Three Ghosts of the Huang Family!"

Looking at the figure in the distance, Xie Xie suddenly exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the middle-aged man's identity!

The Huang Family Three Ghosts is a notorious group of evil spirit masters that has emerged in Tianhai City in the past year.

It includes three brothers: Huang Chang, Huang Gong, and Huang Wei.

Because their martial spirits are all related to ghosts, they are also known as the "Three Ghosts of the Huang Family".

Within a year, at least one hundred cases of young women going missing in Tianhai City were all related to them.

Among these missing girls were even several potential Soul Masters!

Clearly, these girls have become food for the three martial spirits, or sacrifices to the evil god!
