Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

After returning to his rented courtyard, Qi Li greeted Gu Dushangshan and then ignored the other party's renewed request for freedom.

"Don't think I'm easy to talk to. If you stay here obediently, I won't make you suffer in terms of food, clothing, or other necessities."

I will use this identity of yours until I win the championship in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Then you will be the hero who helped the Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy team win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Many people want such a good thing but don't have the chance yet, so don't make a mistake for yourself.

And don't think I'm just an easy person to talk to.

As soon as he finished speaking, black soul power began to surge from Qi Li's body.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Lie, Huang Xuan, the branch elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, as well as the Death Demon Spider, the Cave Demon Spider King, the Devouring Dragon, the Netherworld Lion, and many other figures gradually appeared.

The powerful auras of the souls made Dugu Shangshan instinctively feel fear.

The outcome is naturally self-evident and requires little consideration.

Although Gu Du Shangshan, as an outstanding student of the Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy, also had his own pride, his pride was worthless in the face of an extremely cruel and realistic predicament.

After completely dispelling the inappropriate thoughts that Dugu Shangshan shouldn't have, Qi Li returned to his hut and began absorbing the resentment power from the Soul-Devouring Blade.

The more he obtained the Soul-Devouring Blade, the more he admired the evil soul master who had once possessed it.

This Soul-Devouring Blade was not only made of extraordinary materials and contained extremely powerful resentment energy, but the way the power was applied to it also opened the eyes of this not-so-competent evil spirit master.

There is an extremely powerful magic circle-like structure on this Shiling breastplate.

This magic circle will continuously distort the owner of the Soul-Devouring Blade, and at the same time, it can absorb the owner's essence and spirit to replenish the existence of resentment.

When the owner of the Soul-Devouring Blade fell into evil spirit mastery and began to wreak havoc with the Soul-Devouring Blade, this magic array could also collect the resentment of those people and replenish the resentment that had been consumed.

In other words, if Qi Li is a genuine evil spirit master, then with this Soul Devouring Blade, he has already obtained a perpetual motion machine of endless resentment.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a true evil spirit master, and the Soul-Devouring Blade could only temporarily alleviate his need for resentment to enhance his soul power, quality, and strength.

After absorbing the surging resentment of the Soul Devouring Blade to improve the quality of his soul power, Qi Li did not become immersed in it.

After all, absorbing too much resentment won't affect a person's soul essence like residual soul energy, but it will eventually cause his power to excessively reflect a part of the resentment, which isn't a good thing for his current disguise.

However, just as he began to continuously absorb the surging resentment within the Soul-Devouring Blade, he vaguely sensed that the Soul-Devouring Blade was not simply a carving knife of exceptional material as he had imagined.

The material of the carving knife itself did not seem to be any rare metal he had ever seen, but something even rarer.

However, due to the overwhelming amount of resentment, it is impossible to see the true appearance of this engraving knife.

Qi Li wasn't in a hurry. Once he absorbed all the resentment on the Soul-Devouring Blade, the carving knife would naturally reveal its original form to him.

While he was constantly absorbing the resentment within the Soul Devouring Blade, he was also representing the Star Luo Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy team in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

The Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy team is already quite strong, and they performed exceptionally well in the group stage round-robin.

Even though Qi Li hadn't participated in the competition for a long time and hadn't gone all out, the Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy still firmly held the top spot in their group.

Qi Li didn't even have to exert any force, yet his opponent was already essentially powerless to resist.

This is inevitable, after all, during the entire continental high school literature competition, apart from a few teams, there are practically no teams that can cause trouble for the Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy.

After all, for teams participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, having all Soul Master level students is already a pretty good team configuration. If they have a Soul King level student, they can even compete for the top 16 or even the top 8.

For established top four and top eight teams, having two or more Soul Kings is essential to ensuring their success.

To secure the championship, runner-up, and third place, a student at the Soul Emperor level is generally required.

Under such circumstances, the Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy team's lineup is strong enough to compete with the established top four teams.

Although there are no Soul Emperors, all the students are Soul Kings, making them highly competitive.

More importantly, Qi Li, who had participated in a top-tier auction but gained little, also received the return of his greatest helper after the auction, Xu Jiujiu, who was also the true captain of the Star Luo Empire Royal Guard Academy.

After a long time, they easily defeated their opponent in the quarterfinals.

First came a team battle, followed by individual battles. In both team and individual battles, without even having to make a move, the Star Luo Empire Royal Soul Master Academy had already made it into the top four.

However, their next opponent was Shrek Academy, which had suffered a major accident and was unable to appear in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament in its full form. But they also had an unimaginable experience of winning all the way and making it into the top four.

Since the start of the competition, up to the quarterfinals, there have been doubts that Shrek Academy might fall. However, Shrek Academy team has managed to reach the semifinals through various means.

Although some methods are simply not respectable, such as having support-type Soul Masters make cigars in advance for them to use on the competition stage.

But no matter what, they still made it to the semi-finals.
