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

"How is it?" Qian San asked.

Feng Xiaotian dusted himself off and gave a wry smile: "You're very strong. Strong to the point of being unreasonable. I feel... even if I risk my life, I probably still won't be able to catch up to you."

Qian San looked at his slightly dim eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of war?"

"Then your mutated martial soul's talent is indeed somewhat wasted."

Feng Xiaotian stood there, stunned. The two walked side by side off the stage in silence.

Just as they were about to reach their respective rest areas, Feng Xiaotian suddenly stopped. He turned around, glanced at the charred sword mark on the arena, and his previously dejected gaze regained a glimmer of light.

He clenched his fist and said to Qian San's retreating figure, "I understand. A large gap is good, it means there's still a long road ahead. Thank you."

Qian San didn't turn around, but simply waved casually and walked back to the area of ​​the Tian Dou Second Team.

"In this one-on-one soul battle, the Heavenly Fighting Royal Team 2 wins!" The referee's announcement rang out at the opportune moment.

……

At the very top of the stands is Shrek Academy's viewing area.

Tang San stood in the shadows, gripping the railing in front of him with both hands.

He came here hoping to use Shenfeng Academy to force out the true strength of the other members of Tiandou Team Two. Knowing their enemy and himself was key to finding a way to turn the tide in the upcoming elimination rounds. But what happened? It was another one-on-one match. Qian San didn't even need his teammates; he single-handedly tore apart Shenfeng Academy's ace.

But what truly broke Tang San's defenses was not Qian San's terrifying lightsaber, but that final move.

The splashed molten metal was instantly molded into hundreds of different concealed weapons.

Hidden weapons—this is Tang San's domain, the greatest pride of his two lifetimes! It is also the foundation upon which he stands in this world!

But just now, Qian San used the most brutal mental power and elemental control to crush the methods he was so proud of.

Without mechanisms or complicated crafting, with just a thought, anything can become a hidden weapon. Tang San envied this ability, but what angered him even more was that he subconsciously thought he couldn't do it!

Equally devastating was the fact that Qian San's final strike on the arena inevitably stirred up his deepest fears. The holy sword from before had haunted him like a nightmare for the past few days. He had thought that breaking through to level 50 and obtaining a ten-thousand-year soul ring would bridge this gap.

But the world does not change according to his wishes.

Even if he were to take the stage now, facing that giant sword coated in molten iron and a barrage of metal projectiles, his fate would be no better than Feng Xiaotian's. What use would his newly acquired fifth soul skill, "Netherworld Death Calamity," be if it couldn't even break through Qian San's defensive circle?

The joy of breaking through to Soul King vanished instantly, replaced by anxiety.

Tang San released the railing, and without saying hello to Dai Mubai beside him, turned around and walked straight to the exit.

"Third Brother, where are we going?" Ma Hongjun called out from behind.

"Cultivation."

........

The Martial Soul City Arena.

The sunlight was somewhat dazzling. Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy Team 1, a fateful battle that should have been evenly matched, was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere from the moment both sides stepped onto the stage.

All seven Shrek Academy members made their appearance. However, instead of adopting a conventional defensive or offensive formation, they lined up in a straight line in the center of the ring.

At the front of Star Luo Team One, Davis, with his blond hair, took two steps forward, his gaze sweeping across half the arena and landing on Dai Mubai. His eyes were filled with contempt and killing intent.

"My dear brother, after hiding for so many years, you've finally shown yourself?" Davis's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"I thought you would stay in the Heaven Dou Empire and be a useless piece of trash forever."

Dai Mubai's eyes were icy cold. He didn't even glance at Davis, and simply snorted, "It's pointless to say more. You'll find out soon enough."

"Stubborn to the end." Davis's sneer vanished.

"The match begins!" The referee's whistle blew at just the right moment.

The moment the whistle blew, Shrek's formation suddenly changed.

Oscar waved his hands, and several sausages landed in the hands of the people in the front row. Then, he flashed to the left. Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai moved sideways simultaneously.

Four people, four hands, clasped tightly together in the center of the ring.

hum-

The four distinct soul energies, upon contact, did not repel each other; instead, they intertwined and resonated at a peculiar frequency. A massive fluctuation of soul energy began to grow, centered on Dai Mubai.

This was the multi-in-one martial soul fusion technique that Yu Xiaogang had painstakingly researched for months, extracting and improving from the seven-in-one fusion technique of Canghui Academy. Time was of the essence; Tang San needed to control the situation, and Ning Rongrong needed to provide amplification. This four-person fusion was Shrek Academy's first trump card to reveal today.

Soul power surged wildly into Dai Mubai's body through the arms of the three people.

Dai Mubai let out a tiger's roar. His original Soul Master cultivation level rose steadily under the forceful infusion of this external force, directly breaking through the bottleneck of level 50 and settling steadily at the level of high-level Soul King.

A gust of wind swept across the arena.

Dai Mubai didn't even glance at Davis, whose expression had slightly changed. He turned around, opened his arms, and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into a tight embrace.

Black and white light shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the two figures.

In the Star Luo team's rest area, the team leader suddenly stood up straight. A Spirit Fusion Technique? To unleash a Spirit Fusion Technique under such a forcefully elevated spirit power?

A white tiger with wings on its back and a body length of over ten meters stepped out from the black and white pillar of light.

This Netherworld White Tiger was completely different from before. Dominated by the soul power of a high-level Soul King, the oppressive aura emanating from this behemoth rivaled that of a level 70 Soul Saint's Martial Soul True Body. The giant tiger's pair of cold, vertical pupils were fixed intently on Davis opposite it.

Davis's eyelids twitched violently. A sense of foreboding instantly gripped his heart.

"Bamboo Clouds! Merge!"

Davis roared, no longer caring about princely decorum, and pulled Zhu Zhuyun beside him. Black and white light flashed, and a Netherworld White Tiger quickly took shape.

But the gap is too obvious.

The Netherworld White Tiger of Star Luo Team 1 was only seven meters long. Compared to Shrek Academy's ten-meter-tall behemoth, it was completely suppressed in both size and soul power.

Behind Shrek Academy, the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand shone brightly. Several amplification beams landed on the giant white tiger in front of her, further increasing its already terrifying aura.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the five Star Luo team members behind Davis immediately activated their soul power and prepared to go forward to help.

"Your opponent is me."

A cold voice rang out in front of them.

Tang San had crossed the center line without anyone noticing. He raised his right hand, and the dark purple Blue Silver Grass spread wildly along the ground, instantly encircling the five members of Star Luo in the center.
