Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

Qian San snorted coldly, and his martial spirit, which had been restrained since the end of the competition, erupted once more.

The five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—operated violently.

"rise!"

As Qian San lifted one hand upwards, all the liquid metal on the arena instantly boiled. It transformed into raging blue-silver pythons that surged up and rapidly intertwined and solidified in front of Qian San.

In the blink of an eye, three heavy metal shields, each half a foot thick and with water ripple patterns on their surfaces, rose from the ground and blocked Liu Erlong's path of attack.

"boom--!"

Liu Erlong's dragon claw, enveloped in flames, slammed fiercely into the first metal shield. The scorching flames licked the metal surface relentlessly, the ear-piercing scraping sound causing all the spectators to cover their ears. The first shield dented and melted under the Soul Saint's powerful outburst, but was immediately blocked by the second shield.

Qian San forcefully slowed down Liu Erlong's steps.

Just as Liu Erlong was preparing to unleash even stronger soul power to forcefully break the shield.

"presumptuous!

On the ring, how dare you, a mad dog, run wild!

Two undisguised figures suddenly shot into the sky from the rest area of ​​the Kresh team.

Without uttering a single word, Franya and Zhao Youji sprang into action, instantly leaping onto the arena.

A chilling glint flashed in Franya's eyes as eight spirit rings exploded beneath her feet.

As a Soul Douluo of level 80+, her aura instantly overwhelmed the entire arena. Zhao Youji, also a Soul Douluo, unleashed his Martial Soul, creating a palpable pressure around him.

Facing Liu Erlong, whose momentum was blocked by the metal shield, the two showed no mercy.

With a swift movement, Franya kicked Liu Erlong's protective flames in mid-air; Zhao Youji, meanwhile, unleashed a thunderous barrage of punches, slamming them into Liu Erlong's blind spot from the side.

The combined attack of the two Contra Masters was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a hammer.

"Bang--!"

Liu Erlong only had time to let out a muffled groan before her fiery dragon possession was abruptly shattered. She was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, even faster than when she had charged at him.

With a loud crash, Liu Erlong slammed into the thickened stone wall used for defense at the edge of the main arena. The enormous impact created a large crater in the wall, and rubble rained down. Liu Erlong's eyes rolled back, and she instantly lost consciousness, her body embedded in the wall in a bizarre posture.

At this moment, several professional healing-type Soul Masters provided by the competition venue were rushing to the outside of the venue with medicine boxes and stretchers.

They had just carefully lifted the seriously injured and unconscious Xiao Wu onto a stretcher and were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they turned their heads and saw a human-shaped dent in the wall.

Several healing-type Soul Masters stood frozen in place, looking at Xiao Wu on the stretcher, barely breathing, and then at Liu Erlong, who was embedded in the wall and unconscious.

The leading healing-type Soul Master wiped the cold sweat from his face, turned to his assistant behind him, and sighed helplessly:

"What are you all standing there for? Go and get two more people to bring a stretcher over to help."

........

On the VIP stage,

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like it was about to drip water.

Emperor Xueye sat upright in the center, his face ashen, listening to the boos and jeers erupting from the tens of thousands of spectators below.

He slammed his scepter down heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.

"What kind of behavior is this!"

Emperor Xueye suppressed his anger, his voice revealing dissatisfaction.

"This is the opening match of the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies!"

This is a disgrace to our Heaven Dou Empire region! Look at those Shrek Academy students, it's bad enough that they wear those attention-grabbing team uniforms on stage and become a laughing stock, but they even dare to openly use weapons to ambush people on the stage!

Now even the teachers leading the teams are ignoring the rules of the competition and rushing onto the stage to fight like shrewish women! Where has this left the dignity of the empire?

Where are the competition rules?

Emperor Xueye did not lower his voice when he spoke, which clearly showed that he was genuinely angry.

Sitting to his right, Ning Fengzhi lowered his eyes slightly, picking up his teacup to conceal the helplessness in his eyes. He naturally noticed Emperor Xueye's impatience and anger; normally, he would have spoken up to mediate.

But at this moment, the evidence was overwhelming. Tens of thousands of people had witnessed Tang San's illegal use of hidden weapons, not to mention his own beloved daughter Ning Rongrong was in the Shrek Academy team. As a father and the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, if he were to forcefully defend himself now, he would only be seen as protecting a cheater, and might even bring trouble upon himself. Therefore, he could only choose to remain silent.

Just then, the Platinum Bishop Salas, sitting on the left, clapped his hands, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Why are you so angry?" Salas said sarcastically, his eyes flickering slightly.

"In my opinion, the Heaven Dou Empire is truly teeming with talent, a veritable den of dragons and crouching tigers. Not only are the students on the stage fierce fighters, capable of forcing their opponents to even pull out those exquisite killing weapons, but even the two teachers who rushed onto the stage are incredibly strong. Just pick one of them, and they're both Soul Douluo-level powerhouses."

At this point, Salas paused deliberately, glancing at Emperor Snow Night.

Upon hearing the words "Contra," the furious Emperor Xueye froze. He had been preoccupied with his anger at Shrek Academy's outrageous behavior, but Salas's reminder suddenly brought a thunderbolt to his mind.

Yup!

How come the two instructors leading the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are two Soul Douluos?

As the emperor, he knew the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's true strength all too well. The only ones in the academy who could reach the Soul Douluo level were the three elders of the Teaching Committee, and they were only responsible for overseeing the academy's core affairs; they would never lower themselves to become the instructors of a substitute second team.

Where did those two people just come from?

A sense of unease quickly spread through Emperor Xueye's mind. This team, bearing the name of the Royal Second Team, seemed to have completely broken free from the control of the royal family.

Salas keenly caught the fleeting look of surprise in the eyes of the Snow Night Emperor, and his smile deepened.

He stood up and straightened his magnificent robe:

"Your Majesty, the Soul Master Competition is jointly organized by the two great empires and the Spirit Hall. Now, such a serious incident of illegal use of weapons has occurred in the very first match, even leading to bloodshed at the Soul Saint level and above. Since this happened in the Heaven Dou region, in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition and to give all the Soul Masters on the continent an explanation, this matter will be handed over to our Spirit Hall for a full investigation."

Salas's plan was shrewd. He not only wanted to investigate the Shrek Academy kid who had violated weapon regulations, but also wanted to use the investigation as a pretext to find out the true nature of the Heaven Dou Second Team.
