Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 56 Final

Facing Feng Xiaotian, whose soul power was exhausted, Ye Li bowed slightly to show that he had earned Ye Li's respect. If Feng Xiaotian and Ye Li were on the same level, it would be quite troublesome for Ye Li to win.

"Sister Biji, thank you for your trouble." Ye Li turned around, looked at Biji, pointed to Feng Xiaotian, and said.

After glancing at Ye Li, Bi Ji, standing on the platform, had nine spirit rings—eight black and one red—successively hovering at her feet. Except for those who knew the inside story and remained unmoved, everyone present was lost in thought as they looked at Bi Ji's spirit rings. It should be noted that the last person with such a spirit ring configuration was Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu was already a level 99 Peerless Douluo. It was likely that the woman in front of them was close to Qian Daoliu in strength.

At this moment, a green feather appeared in Bi Ji's hand and floated towards Feng Xiaotian, then merged into him. The life force continuously swept over Feng Xiaotian's body, and soon Feng Xiaotian regained consciousness.

"Brother Feng, you flatter me," Ye Li said with a smile.

"The Saintess's strength is indeed unmatched." Feng Xiaotian stood up and said respectfully.

"You flatter me. If Brother Feng's soul power level is at the same stage as mine, I'll have to put in a lot of effort to win. We can spar with each other in the future," Ye Li said.

.........

The Papal Palace, the main council chamber.

Pope Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, and standing in front of them were the eight members representing the Spirit Hall Academy in the competition, with Ye Li standing at the very front.

"Teacher, could we change the format of tomorrow's competition?" Ye Li asked.

Bibi Dong gazed at Ye Li with her beautiful eyes and said, "Tell me in detail?"

"Go straight into team battles, with 8 vs 8 participants," Ye Li said.

"Why?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled. It wasn't that the competition format was difficult to change, but rather that she wanted to know the reason.

Ye Li approached Bibi Dong and whispered in her ear, "Tomorrow, you'll know the reason, which is also my secret. I hope you won't be angry then."

After speaking, Ye Li returned to her seat.

"You should know what this competition means. It's not just your chance to make a name for yourself, but also a symbol of who will own the three soul bones. As the organizer, the Spirit Hall cannot take back these three soul bones if you lose. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and so many advanced soul master academies are watching. This is a reward for you, but also a pressure."

"Alright, you can all go and rest now." Bibi Dong waved her hand, and Ye Li and the others hurriedly walked out of the council hall through the side door.

Bibi Dong raised her hand and tapped rhythmically on the table in front of her, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Ye Li, what exactly is your secret?"

…………

After returning to the temple, Ye Li arrived at the secret realm of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well early in the morning. The Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Rou and the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin had fully recovered and transformed into human form.

"Xiao Rou and A Yin greet you, Your Excellency!" The two girls said respectfully to Ye Li.

"It's alright, just call me Young Master or Ye Li," Ye Li said.

"Your son and daughter have arrived at the Spirit Hall and will meet in the next few days at the latest. You should know what to do then, right?" Ye Li said, but her eyes were fixed on the Blue Silver Emperor.

"We understand," the two replied.

"Blue Silver Emperor, although I don't want to deceive you, I still have to say that your son has two souls inside him," Ye Li said.

"What? Two souls?" Ah Yin looked at Ye Li with a surprised expression.

Xiao Rou, who was standing to the side, was also very surprised. You know, there is only one soul in a person's body. What's going on with these two souls?

"That's right, there are two souls. One of them is your son's soul, and the other soul is someone who has taken over your son's body," Ye Li said calmly, then explained some of the unusual things about Tang San.

"Possession?" Ah Yin was also a little confused when she heard about the unusual things about her son, especially the Xuan Tian Gong cultivation technique. Neither she nor Tang Hao had this technique, but Tang San had known it since he was a child. This made people think deeply, and it seemed that possession could be explained.

"Young Master, is there any way to save my son?" Ah Yin asked anxiously.

"Of course, my sister will be coming. You should know her name; it's Gu Yuena," Ye Li said casually.

"The Silver Dragon King?"

"You got it right, so don't worry. You guys get ready too. I can't handle Tang Hao right now," Ye Li said.

"Um……"

……

The next morning, the Shrek team arrived at their residence early, looking very energetic. After breakfast, the eight of them stood in front of the master.

The master's gaze swept over the group. "The match will proceed as planned. Do your best, and if things become unavoidable, prioritize your own safety."

"Yes."

"Alright, let's set off." The master waved to the crowd.

With their heads held high, the Shrek Academy team walked out of their residence. On the street, many Soul Masters watched them silently from both sides of the road.

The Papal Palace was right in front of them, bathed in golden sunlight. Everyone's gaze turned solemn as they watched the Shrek team climb the stone steps one by one. The air seemed to grow heavy.

The Pope, Ning Fengzhi who watched the battle yesterday, and several titled Douluo were already seated. The three soul bones, which were given as rewards, lay quietly on a red brocade plate to the side, emitting a faint halo.

The Spirit Hall Academy team stood there silently, a strong and cold killing intent like a sharp blade aimed directly at the Shrek Academy team.

Under this immense pressure, the Shrek team's pace up the mountain noticeably slowed down. Although the match hadn't officially started, the clash between the two sides had already begun.

"The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Both teams, please prepare. The match will begin in fifteen minutes."

Both sides returned to their respective positions.

"Xiao San, Xiao Ye." Dai Mubai looked at Tang San and Li Ye.

The two nodded, but today Li Ye was about to drop a bombshell, which was exactly what Ye Li had instructed him to do.

The master raised his right hand first, and every member of the Shrek team followed suit, their hands overlapping, and simultaneously let out a thunderous shout, "Victory is certain!"

On the other side, the Spirit Hall Academy team suddenly heard the loud shouts from Shrek Academy. Xie Yue couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer, "Victory is assured? Today we'll show them what true strength is."

"What are we?" Ye Li asked, looking at the seven people behind her.

"Champion!" An even louder roar came from the Spirit Hall Academy team.

The unwavering standoff between the two sides stirred a sense of excitement among the Soul Masters watching from below the mountain.
