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

The Spirit Hall's high-ranking officials in the stands had livid faces, while Shrek Academy's rest area erupted in a long-suppressed cheer.

Tang San wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head, and looked past the arena to the rest area of ​​the Heaven Dou Team 2 on the high platform in the distance.

Qian San was leaning against the railing, looking down at him.

Their gazes met in mid-air. Tang San's eyes gleamed with the sharpness of someone who had just defeated a powerful enemy, while Qian San's gaze remained as calm as if he were looking at a flying insect struggling in a net.

Tomorrow, the decisive battle.

........

The huge square in front of the Papal Palace was dazzlingly bright in the sunlight.

The arena for the finals has been restored to its original state. At the highest point of the stands, Bibi Dong sits on the papal throne, her expression completely obscured by a thick black veil.

A gentle breeze brushed the edge of her scarf, tugging at the swollen skin on her left cheek, sending a sharp, stabbing pain through her. Bibi Dong's hands, hidden beneath her wide sleeves, clenched tightly once more.

Yesterday, the Spirit Hall's golden generation was defeated, failing to even qualify for the finals.

What truly bothered Bibi Dong wasn't the outcome of the competition, but rather the attitude of the Hall of Offerings. Those high and mighty old men were surprisingly calm about the Spirit Hall Academy's defeat; not even Qian Daoliu sent anyone to inquire about it. More importantly, she had offered three precious spirit bones as prizes for the competition—this reaction was completely inappropriate.

It wasn't until her gaze swept across the square and landed on the boy named Qian San from the Tian Dou Second Team that everything became clear.

That face.

That face that had haunted her for half her life, that had devoured her alive in countless nightmares.

Bibi Dong stared intently at Qian San's profile. The sudden slap from a few days ago, and Qian Xunji's unreasonable and terrifying aura, had completely brought her to her senses. The man she had devoured, who should have long since vanished, was not only alive, but also had such a dazzling son.

She couldn't understand what had happened, but the disparity in strength was undeniable, and she didn't even have the right to resist.

"Since I can't touch you, then let others disgust you." Bibi Dong stared at Qian San below the stage, then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang in the Shrek Academy rest area, a twisted expectation rising in her heart.

She desperately wanted Shrek Academy to win. Not only so Yu Xiaogang could finally hold his head high, but also because she couldn't bear to see anyone with the blood of the Qian family standing at the top, smiling. Because that would make her feel even worse!

"Grand Finals, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2 vs. Shrek Academy. Prepare to enter!"

The referee's booming voice echoed across the square.

The seven members of Shrek Academy stepped onto the arena. Tang San walked at the front, his gaze cold.

Yesterday they defeated the Spirit Hall Academy, but today, they didn't adopt that hand-in-hand formation. Using the same tactic a second time against a truly top-tier team would be suicidal.

The Heaven Dou Second Team has two Soul Emperors. If they dare to spend even two seconds at the start of the game connecting their soul power, the opponent can instantly tear their formation apart.

"Don't rush things, just react to each move as it comes." Tang San lowered his voice and quickly gave the order, "Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, press hard from the front. I'll control the situation."

Dai Mubai did not answer, but nodded heavily.

"The match begins!"

The moment the whistle fell, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, without any hesitation, swiftly converged towards the center. A beam of black and white light shot into the sky, accompanied by a deafening tiger's roar. A Netherworld White Tiger shattered the paving stones beneath its feet and charged straight at the formation of the Heavenly Dou Second Team.

Yu Rongrong stood on the left side of the group, watching the Netherworld White Tiger pounce on her. Instead of fear, a hint of excitement shone in her eyes.

"So you're the only ones who can turn into cats, huh?"

She tapped her fingertips on the eight-story pagoda in front of her, and two waves of energy instantly exploded on both sides of the arena.

"roar--!"

"Hey——!"

The snow ape covered in frost and the Sky-Piercing Armored Eagle with a wingspan of four meters both burst out of the void at the same time, turning into two afterimages on the left and right, directly flanking Shrek Academy.

Immediately afterwards, a third dark shadow appeared in front of Yu Rongrong. The moment the enormous saber-toothed tiger landed, it transformed into a shower of dark golden light, frantically pouring into her body.

Tiger ears stand up, sharp claws extend, and dark golden tiger stripes instantly creep up onto its cheeks.

The Saber-toothed Tiger Martial Soul has been successfully attached to the body.

Yu Rongrong spread her arms wide, raised her chin at Dai Mubai who was charging towards her, and said in an undisguisedly provocative tone: "Dai, you sick cat, today I'll show you what the real king of beasts is."

After saying that, she turned around and hugged Dai Zhuqing, who had been silent all along.

Being hugged like this by Yu Rongrong in public caused Dai Zhuqing's face to flush slightly. But she did not struggle; instead, she closed her eyes and released her soul power without reservation.

She is now a genuine level 53 offensive Soul King.

boom!

A dark golden beam of light, twice as thick as the one from Shrek Academy, shot up from the ground.

"They're going to fuse their martial souls too!" Oscar exclaimed in shock from behind Shrek Academy.

As the beam of light dissipated, a colossal beast over ten meters long appeared in the center of the arena.

Dark Sword Tiger King.

It lacks the light and shadow effect of the Netherworld White Tiger; two sharp, one-meter-long fangs protrude from its lips.

With Soul King-level Dai Zhuqing as the leader and the support of a high-quality saber-toothed tiger, this Dark Sword Tiger King completely overwhelmed Shrek's Netherworld White Tiger, both in terms of its imposing size and the fluctuations of soul power flowing within it.

Dai Mubai was in the control center of the Netherworld White Tiger. Looking at the giant beast in front of him, which was a size larger than himself, his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

retreat?

On the final stage, taking a step back would mean certain death. As the dignified prince of Xingluo, he would never back down on the same move.

"kill!"

Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot, and the Netherworld White Tiger roared as it charged headlong into the giant beast.

"You're courting death." Dai Zhuqing's voice came from within the Dark Sword Tiger King, and then he pounced without showing any weakness.

Just as the two giant beasts were about to collide, Tang San moved from behind.

He couldn't stand by and watch Dai Mubai suffer in a head-on clash. Dark purple Blue Silver Grass, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, spread wildly along the arena's surface. The vines secreted a gray, deathly slime—his fifth soul skill: Netherworld Death Calamity. If these vines could entangle the Dark Sword Tiger King's limbs, the corrosion and deathly aura would help dismantle his defenses.

Not only that, a large number of Blue Silver Grasses simultaneously split off, entangling the other team members behind them as well as the Snow Apes and Armor-Piercing Eagles on both sides, attempting to control the entire field by themselves.
