Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 57 The Real Ye Li

Fifteen minutes is not a long time. Soon, the two teams entered the square under the referee's guidance. Shrek Academy knew early on that the final had changed its format. There would be no individual competition, but instead, they would go directly into the team competition, but the number of players would be eight against eight. This final was actually a double act performed by Ye Li and Li Ye.

The group of sixteen people stood face to face with their hands behind their backs. Li Ye and Ye Li stood at the front, looking at each other without saying a word, but the intense clash of their auras instantly raised the tension to its limit.

At this moment, even a powerful figure as esteemed as Pope Bibi Dong focused all his attention on this match, not to mention the defeated academies.

Li Ye looked at Ye Li, who was facing him, and smiled slightly, "Brother, are you still going to pretend now?"

"elder brother!!!!"

Upon hearing what Li Ye from Shrek Academy said, the scene instantly spiraled out of control.

"The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall was actually a man from beginning to end?"

"How is this possible?"

"Is it fake?"

.........

At this moment, there was a murmur of surprise from the stands. Not to mention them, even Bibi Dong and the others were somewhat dumbfounded by this situation. Only Bi Ji and Xue Qinghe, who was not far away, calmly watched this scene.

"Then so be it, my dear...brother!" Ye Li said with a smile.

When the word "younger brother" was mentioned, everyone present heard the man's voice. The next second, Ye Li's body on the competition stage was enveloped in silver light, her originally black hair instantly turned silver-white, and her appearance returned to its original state. At this moment, a handsome man stood on the field with his hands behind his back.

Bibi Dong frowned as she looked at Ye Li. "It seems I was right, Ye Li is a boy... But he's too delicate-looking, isn't he? He's just a boy, why is he pretending? Does he think his sister can't protect him?"

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, suddenly realized what was going on and finally understood Ye Li's plan. She looked at Ye Li with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Bastard."

"Little brother, it's been many years. Let your older brother see your current strength." Ye Li smiled slightly as she looked at Li Ye.

"The match is ready. Both sides may release their martial spirits." The cardinal, acting as the referee, announced immediately after the two sides had taken their positions, though he was slightly shocked.

The members of the Spirit Hall Academy team moved almost simultaneously, their surging spirit power erupting instantly. The three at the forefront, including Xie Yue, each possessed the optimal spirit ring configuration: two yellow, two purple, and one black rings. The other four behind them also had the optimal configuration of two yellow and two purple spirit rings.

Ye Li took a deep breath and released the Nine-Colored Jade Phoenix Martial Soul. However, the Soul Rings were very different from before. Each Soul Ring had an additional colorful halo, and the aura increased exponentially. Compared to the previous aura, it was like heaven and earth.

As they released their spirit rings, the Shrek Academy team also began releasing theirs simultaneously. The members stood in order, with Li Ye, Tang San, and Dai Mubai at the front. Behind them stood Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu. The last row consisted of Ning Rongrong and Oscar. Behind Li Ye stood seven people, all with four spirit rings, except for Tang San, who possessed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Li Ye glanced at them behind him and then released his spirit rings. Six spirit rings, five black and one red, shone in succession, and the Flame Phoenix Sword spirit also appeared in his hand.

"This... Fourth Brother also possesses a 100,000-year soul ring!!!" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Calm down. Look at Xiao Ye's spirit rings, and then look at Li Ye's spirit rings. This looks perfectly normal," Oscar said.

.........

Pope Bibi Dong frowned slightly, unconsciously glancing in Ye Li's direction, "These two brothers are truly monsters!"

Yu Xiaogang watched the situation on the field intently. His expression was no longer calm. Even though Li Ye had revealed his true strength, he was not absolutely confident about this match.

"The match begins." As he announced the start of the final battle of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Cardinal swiftly retreated, clearing the arena.

"Slaughter Domain!" "Phoenix Domain!"

After the cardinal left, Li Ye and Ye Li exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts. Ye Li wanted to test Li Ye's current strength, while Li Ye needed to prove that he was strong enough to share the burden on Ye Li's shoulders.

Two light shields, one red and one silver, began to pour down on each other. Li Ye's Killing Domain prevented the opponent from using their soul skills and soul bone skills unless they were stronger than him. Ye Li's Phoenix Domain, on the other hand, boosted all attributes and also included the characteristics of the Killing Domain. At this moment, everyone present was dumbfounded. Except for Ye Li and Li Ye, no one else could use their skills, and they were completely caught in a melee. Fortunately, they could still use their soul power.

"This is a domain?" The Sword Douluo beside Ning Fengzhi looked at the two below the stage in shock, knowing that even he, a Title Douluo, did not have a domain.

As Li Ye and Ye Li confronted each other, Tang San shouted, "Change!"

The Shrek team's formation changed; the original circle suddenly became a vertical line. Tang San stood at the front, followed by Dai Mubai, then Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing. At the very back stood Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

The change in the formation of the seven people caused the soul power they had just released and gathered to suddenly twist into one. At this moment, Oscar's soul power surged into Ning Rongrong's body, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rose in front of Ning Rongrong. Her hands, with a solemn expression, slapped forward, and the four soul rings on her body lit up at the same time.

Four solid, nine-colored halos emanated from the lower four levels of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, shooting directly into Zhu Zhuqing's body. Stimulated by the immense auxiliary soul power, Zhu Zhuqing naturally raised her arms and placed them on Xiao Wu's body in front of her.

A strange scene unfolded: the nine-colored light suddenly intensified, flowing from Zhu Zhuqing's hand into Xiao Wu's body, while Zhu Zhuqing's entire body was enveloped in a layer of nine-colored light.

Xiao Wu's situation was almost exactly the same as Zhu Zhuqing's; the rich nine-colored light became increasingly intense as it continued to spread forward.

When the light reached Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai struck Tang San's back with both palms. In an instant, Tang San's body trembled violently. The nine-colored halo no longer appeared on his body, but instead, an incomparably powerful pressure appeared.

Pope Bibi Dong, seated in the main seat, brightened up. "This is a fusion technique."

Hu Liena stared coldly at her opponent, her five spirit rings flashing rhythmically. First, the black fifth spirit ring appeared, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow first spirit ring. With each fluctuation of a spirit ring, the red light emanating from her intensified. At the same moment, Xie Yue behind her also moved.

Xie Yue wielded not one, but two crescent-shaped blades, both entirely blood-red. He held each blade in the center. Then, with a movement of his body, he opened his arms and charged at his sister from behind.

A red light curtain suddenly appeared and spread. Just as Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies collided, the red light enveloped their bodies together. At the same time, the red light also burst open instantly, spreading like a ball of light, covering nearly half of the arena.

Both the Shrek Academy team and the Spirit Hall team knew that the outcome of this match was beyond their control. Only Ye Li and Li Ye could truly decide the winner, and both sides would likely have to leave the stage after this attack.
