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

"Break it!" A powerful attack-type Soul Master from Xingluo roared, swinging his battle axe and slamming it heavily into the vines.

The vine broke, but no blood flowed out; only a layer of grayish sap splattered from the break onto the soul master's wrist.

"hiss--"

The Soul Master let out a scream. The moment the slime touched his skin, his Soul Power stagnated, and he could only retreat to avoid it.

The Netherworld Calamity.

The five Star Luo team members were immediately plunged into a fierce battle. Let alone supporting Davis, even their own survival became a problem.

Ahead, the two Netherworld White Tigers had already collided violently.

A one-sided crushing defeat with no suspense whatsoever.

Dai Mubai's giant white tiger slammed down with its paw, denting half of Davis's white tiger's body. Immediately afterward, the giant white tiger bit down on the back of Davis's neck, unleashing a burst of powerful soul force that slammed the Star Luo Team's Netherworld White Tiger onto the arena like a rag doll.

boom!

The floor tiles shattered. Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were forcibly disintegrated. Both coughed up blood and rolled on the ground for more than ten meters.

Less than five minutes.

The referee raised his right hand and declared Shrek Academy the winner.

Tang San withdrew the deathly blue silver grass, glanced at the Star Luo team members collapsed on the ground, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. Becoming stronger, no matter the means, as long as it means crushing the enemy underfoot, that is the truth.

...........

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing reappeared. Dai Mubai was panting heavily, his golden hair soaked with sweat, but his sinister eyes were filled with a suppressed joy that had been pent up for many years.

He strode over to Davis.

Davis was covered in blood, his once-glorious Star Luo Royal team uniform now tattered. He gritted his teeth, his arms trembling as he tried to prop himself up, but the injuries were too severe, and he collapsed back down like a rag doll. His eyes, usually so arrogant, were now filled with resentment and a hint of fear.

Dai Mubai squatted down, stretched out his right hand, and gently patted Davis's dusty cheeks twice.

"Slap, slap."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely insulting.

"My dear brother," Dai Mubai said in a low voice.

"From today onwards, your so-called title of the number one genius in Xingluo is completely ruined. Enjoy your last bit of status; once I return to Xingluo, everything will be different."

A surge of rage welled up in Davis's eyes. He opened his mouth to retort, but instead spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

Dai Mubai stood up, not even sparing his defeated opponent on the ground a second glance. He turned around, raised his hand, and led the Shrek Academy members off the stage with their heads held high.

As the competition progresses, the knockout stage becomes increasingly brutal.

Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy exploited a loophole in the rules. The two powerful teams merged into one, forming a brand new team. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu joined forces, with the wind fueling the fire and the fire borrowing the wind's power. They were originally full of confidence and ready to fight their way through on the field.

But luck is something that has never been reasonable.

On the drawing platform, Feng Xiaotian looked at the wooden slip in his hand that read "Tian Dou Royal Academy Team Two" and his smile instantly froze.

The battle was entirely predictable. Even though Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu's elemental coordination was flawless, it was like a fragile windowpane in the face of Kresh's absolute power, and was ultimately shattered.

As Huo Wu stepped off the stage, her eyes reddened with anger, and she stomped heavily on Feng Xiaotian's instep.

"Are you crazy?!" Huo Wu glared at him through gritted teeth. "You were the one who drew them in the last ranked match, and now that the teams have merged, how could you still draw them?"

Feng Xiaotian was in so much pain that he was grimacing, but he could only force a smile and didn't dare to say a word in response.

Meanwhile, in the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, the atmosphere did not continue to rise after defeating Xingluo.

As soon as Dai Mubai returned to the backstage area, he clutched his head and knelt on one knee. He coughed violently twice, and two dark red streaks of blood gushed from his nose. His face was as pale as paper.

"Mu Bai!" Tang San rushed forward, placing his fingertips on Mu Bai's pulse point, his brows immediately furrowing. "His meridians are overloaded, and the fluctuations in his spiritual sea are disordered."

"Don't touch him, let him recover on his own," Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice. "This is the price of the multi-dimensional martial soul fusion technique. Forcibly pouring the soul power of multiple people into one vessel puts immense pressure on the vessel's spirit and body. Mu Bai must never use this move again. If he forcibly uses it a second time, there's a high chance he'll suffer a mental breakdown on the spot and become a cripple."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. This trump card that had crushed the Star Luo Empire was actually a one-time use item. The upcoming elimination rounds were still filled with formidable opponents; without this trump card, what would they use to fight?

"I'll do it."

In the corner, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head. She looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Like Mu Bai, I have experience with spirit fusion, and my meridians are resilient enough to withstand high-intensity spirit power. Next time, I will be the one to perform multi-body fusion."

Dai Mubai forced himself to lift his head, wanting to speak up to stop her, but when he met Zhu Zhuqing's unyielding gaze, he swallowed his words.

In the ensuing tough battle, Shrek indeed replicated this tactic.

The four people's soul power surged into Zhu Zhuqing's body. Afterwards, she once again used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Dai Mubai, and still relied on her pseudo-Soul Saint strength to eliminate her opponent and finally advance.

After rounds of fierce battles, the competition finally reached its climax.

Spirit Hall Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2, Shrek Academy.

These three teams, standing on the shoulders of countless other players, have made it to the final three spots.

In the square in front of the Papal Palace, sunlight was dappled through the clouds. The cardinal, standing on the high platform, announced the rules of the three-way competition: the first round would be an individual elimination tournament, using a round-robin format. The team of the final winner would receive a direct qualification to the finals.

On one side of the plaza, the golden generation of the Spirit Hall Academy—Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan—stood side by side. Their red robes billowed in the wind, and their every move exuded an unyielding pride.

But at this moment, the three of them did not look at Shrek Academy, but stared intently at the Heaven Dou Team 2 on the other side.

Qian San and Xiao Qing stood side by side, seemingly talking about something.

In the previous semi-final, in order to finish the match quickly, the two finally revealed their last shred of decency.

Two Soul Emperors.

This message weighed heavily on the hearts of all their opponents, making it hard for them to breathe.

Yu Xiaogang gripped the battle formation chart tightly in his hand, then gently loosened it. To go toe-to-toe with a Soul Emperor in a one-on-one battle? Even if Tang San from Shrek Academy used all his trump cards, without employing that multi-dimensional formation, a one-on-one fight against a Soul Emperor would be a free kill, and would only prematurely expose Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
