Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 181 Battle against Shrek

"Brother, there's no need to worry. Although the Spirit Hall is indeed powerful in terms of Soul Master strength, that doesn't mean they can act recklessly."

After the qualifying rounds, I, your brother, will also travel to Spirit City to represent the Heaven Dou Empire in the final judging. With us together then, the Spirit Hall will certainly not dare to act recklessly.

Qian Renxue said in a relaxed tone.

With her as the "good older sister," how could she not protect the "good younger brother"?

The elders in the offering hall all knew that Xue Qinghe was her. They would first scare Mu Yang, and when the time came, she, as his good older brother, would step forward and protect him, which would be a good way to gain favor.

On the surface, it's understandable that the elders of the Spirit Hall, fearing the consequences, dared not attack her, the crown princess of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"That would be wonderful!"

Mu Yang said with feigned joy, as if he had truly found a powerful backer.

After chatting for a long time, Qian Renxue and her companion took their leave.

"Xiao Yang, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall seem to be sworn enemies. Are you planning to side with the Heaven Dou Empire from now on?"

After Qian Renxue left, Huo Wu asked Mu Yang.

"Sis, you don't understand~"

Mu Yang smiled and shook his head.

If it were the real Xue Qinghe, he would definitely ignore her completely, but Qian Renxue is different.

Qian Renxue is destined to inherit the position of angel, but he may not be able to pass the divine test and inherit the divine position before Qian Renxue becomes a god.

Therefore, it is essential to establish a good relationship with Qian Renxue in advance.

He didn't have any major grudge against the Spirit Hall. Even though he had clashed with the Spirit Hall before because of Salas, he had already taken his revenge, and the culprit was already dead. There was no need to keep this matter in mind.

If the future divine examination does not go smoothly, and before he becomes a god, the Spirit Hall unifies the continent with Qian Renxue, who has ascended to the position of Angel God, then under the premise of this relationship, protecting himself and the academy will definitely not be a problem.

It can be said that befriending Xue Qinghe, who is disguised as Qian Renxue, is like buying a safety net in advance.

"I don't understand? You're close to the Heaven Dou Empire, so the Spirit Hall will probably let it go. You can decide for yourself."

Huo Wu was about to remind Mu Yang of the consequences of befriending the Heaven Dou Empire and clarifying his stance, but then she thought that if she could even imagine this, Mu Yang certainly couldn't be unaware of it either, so she didn't say anything more.

"Yes, I know what's important."

Mu Yang nodded.

Blazing Academy was lucky; they drew a bye in the second round of the qualifying tournament.

Therefore, on the second day of the qualifying rounds, the Blazing Fire team did not need to play any matches.

After the second round of competition concluded and the representatives from each college drew lots, the list of opponents for the third round was determined.

Blazing Fire Academy's opponent in this round of the competition is none other than Shrek Academy.

After the draw results were announced, Mu Yang noticed that the Shrek team did not seem to have given up. In fact, Tang San's gaze towards Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang was filled with fighting spirit.

"Three Souls Sect, Four Soul Master, I'd like to see where you, Tang San, get your confidence from."

Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

This wasn't because Mu Yang was overconfident, but rather because he was being realistic.

Shrek Academy's strongest lineup consists of three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables. With such strength, how could they possibly be a match for Blazing Fire Academy?

If the Blazing Fire Team starts with either Huo Wushuang or Huo Wushuang, then Shrek Academy might be completely wiped out.

It should be noted that neither Huo Wushuang nor Huo Wu are ordinary five-ring soul masters. Not only are their soul power levels as high as level 59, they are also soul kings, and their overall qualities are much stronger than other soul masters of the same level.

With his powerful martial soul, unparalleled soul ring configuration, and various mysterious techniques, Huo Wushuang's strength is comparable to that of an ordinary offensive-type battle soul emperor who has just entered the sixth ring.

Huo Wu is even more formidable, surpassing Huo Wushuang in strength. With her unique talent, Ring Fusion, her attack skills can unleash power at the level of a seventh ring.

With such strength, what can the Shrek team do to stop them?

Even with the blessing of good fortune, Tang San is no match. The fact that fire-type soul masters are effective against plant-type soul masters would completely overwhelm him.

The disadvantages in martial spirit and level meant that no matter how rich Tang San's combat experience or how proficient he was in the Tang Sect's secret techniques, he could not make up for the huge gap between the two sides.

The following morning, at the Great Parade Ground.

The first two matches were over quickly, and it was time for the third group, Blazing Academy versus Shrek Academy.

The referee announced loudly: "In the third round of the qualifying tournament, Blazing Academy will face Shrek Academy. Both academies are requested to send their first player to the stage."

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Yu from the Blazing Fire team and a slightly sinister-looking young man from the Shrek team stepped onto the field.

Although the opponents were the protagonists from the original work, Mu Yang did not change the order of appearance of the Blazing Fire Team members, but still used the original order from weakest to strongest.

Because today, the Blazing Fire team's final performer is not Fire Warrior, but the even stronger Fire Dance.

From Mu Yang's perspective, the first battle between the two teams was a clash of weaklings between Huo Yu and Shrek's Jing Ling. Huo Yu's spirit was the Flame Demon Rhinoceros, making him a defensive Soul Master, while Jing Ling's spirit was the Skeleton, which was an agile attack type.

As the saying goes, a prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. In a battle between agile attacks and defensive maneuvers, Huo Yu, who is on the defensive, should logically be at a disadvantage.

However, the reality was quite different. Huo Yu's Flame Demon Rhino Martial Soul was of a higher quality than Jing Ling's, with a higher Soul Power level and even a stronger Soul Ring configuration. With all these factors combined, Huo Yu was able to suppress his opponent by relying on his defensive advantages.

Three minutes later, Huo Yu seized an opening in his opponent's defense and used his first charge-type soul skill to knock Jing Ling out of the white circle, ending the first battle.

In the second game, Tyronn played for Shrek.

The tough-skinned rhinoceros faced off against the incredibly strong gorilla, both possessing the same Soul Power level of 39 Soul Master. Their punches landed squarely, creating quite a spectacle.

However, Huo Yu ultimately lost to Tai Long because his soul power was insufficient after the previous battle.

However, with the second player from the Blazing Fire team entering the game, the Shrek team suffered two consecutive defeats.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the second player to enter the arena, Fire Hammer, is positioned as a support in the team. His support role is a bit unconventional. While his soul skills have support effects, he also possesses considerable combat capabilities.

With his soul power level reaching the fourth ring, he gained a significant advantage over his opponents. Fire Hammer, who was the second to enter the arena, defeated Tailong and Zhu Zhuqing, who entered the arena later. However, he also lost to Ma Hongjun, who had the advantage of flight, due to insufficient soul power in his body.

Soon, several more minutes passed, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Shrek team.
