Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 123 Elephant Armor Academy Eliminated

"Ali!"

Just as everyone around was cheering for Huo Wu's victory, on the platform, seeing his chosen successor injured like this, Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect who even dared to confront Ning Fengzhi, had already lost his temper. With a bang, he shattered the armrest of his chair, and a powerful killing intent swept over Huo Wu.

In the original story, Hu Yanzhen did not come to watch the qualifying match because Xiangjia Academy failed to advance from the preliminary rounds, and Hu Yanzhen naturally did not want to make a fool of himself.

However, because Xiao Yu's butterfly wings led to Huo Wu's abduction, the strength of Blazing Fire Academy was greatly reduced, allowing Elephant Armor Academy to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Hu Yanzhen, as the sect leader, to come and observe the performance of his sect's disciples, especially his grandson Hu Yanli, whom he regarded as his successor.

As the leader of one of the seven major sects, even though the other party was colluding with the Spirit Hall and had almost become their lackey, Emperor Xueye still arranged a seat for him on the platform to watch the ceremony, right next to the Platinum Bishop Salas.

Huo Wu, who had just unleashed her fourth soul skill through the Fusion Ring, was already extremely weak. The pressure from the Soul Douluo level was overwhelming, like Mount Tai pressing down on her. Huo Wu's blood and qi surged uncontrollably, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"presumptuous!"

Xuanwu immediately sensed the killing intent released by Huyan Zhen. In a flash, he appeared in front of Huowu. He unleashed his full Soul Douluo-level Soul Power, not only dispelling the killing intent released by Huyan Zhen, but also countering it.

Hu Yanzhen only reached level 89 in the Battle of Jialing Pass ten years later. At that time, the Elephant Armor Sect had become the leader of the new seven major sects promoted by the Spirit Hall. In order to make the strength of the sect leader of the number one sect in the world more convincing, the Spirit Hall spared no effort in throwing resources at Hu Yanzhen.

Hu Yanzhen's current soul power is only between level 85 and 86, so he is naturally at a disadvantage against Xuanwu, who is at level 88.

"Another Contra!"

When Ning Fengzhi saw Xuanwu, whom he had never met before, his pupils shrank. The clash of their auras showed that Xuanwu had overwhelmed Huyan Zhen and won, indicating that the other party's soul power was even higher than Huyan Zhen's. It was likely that this person's strength was already infinitely close to that of a Title Douluo.

Just how many powerful figures does the Nine Star Palace still have?

Xiao Yu was a step slower than Xuanwu, but he quickly jumped onto the arena, pulled the swaying Huo Wu into his arms, and glared at Huyan Zhen, saying, "Sect Master Huyan, as the sect master, how could you attack a junior whose soul power is exhausted in front of everyone? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Then he turned to Emperor Xueye and said, "Your Majesty, Huyan Zhen openly attacked the contestants. Does Your Majesty intend to turn a blind eye?"

Xue Ye's face turned ashen. Hu Yanzhen's behavior was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. If he did not give the Nine Star Academy a reasonable explanation, what prestige would the Heavenly Dou Royal Family have left?

His gaze darkened as he turned to Huyan Zhen, his tone barely concealing his anger: "Sect Leader Huyan, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Hu Yanzhen was secretly surprised by Xuanwu's counterattack; the person opposite him was actually stronger than him. However, he was confident in his backing by the Spirit Hall and the presence of the Platinum Bishop Salas, whose strength surpassed his own. He simply snorted coldly, "That girl was too ruthless. Ali is my successor, and being injured like this, I lost my composure in a moment of panic. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with cold light as he retorted to Hu Yanzhen, "Soul skills are indiscriminate on the battlefield. Hu Yanli's move just now was equally powerful. Huo Wu was merely retaliating with all her might. Does Sect Master Hu Yan only feel satisfied when Huo Wu is forced to submit to Hu Yanli's soul skill?"

"So what do you want?"

Hu Yanzhen took two steps forward, walked to the edge of the platform, and roared.

Xiao Yu pointed at Huo Wu in his arms and said, "Apologize! As for your violation of the rules, that's the organizing committee's responsibility."

"You want me to apologize to a little girl!"

Huyan Zhen was furious but laughed coldly, "Do you know who I am? I'm not apologizing, so what can you do about it?"

"Then give it a try!"

A murderous intent had already crept into Xiao Yu's voice.

"alright!"

Just then, Bishop Salas slapped the armrest, stood up, and stood beside Huyan Zhen: "Clan leader Huyan is overly fond of his grandson, and his actions may have gone astray. Let this not be a repeat!"

Salas was promoted by Bibi Dong after she became Pope and belongs to the direct line of the Pope. However, among the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue is the one who has a certain understanding of the strength of the Nine Star Hall. Given the strange relationship between this mother and daughter, unless the Nine Star Hall shows a clear hostile attitude towards the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue will not bother to report everything to Bibi Dong in detail.

Lacking a full understanding of the Nine Star Palace's strength, Salas chose to side with the Elephant Armor Sect, which had already become completely subservient to the Spirit Hall.

"What a convenient 'never again'!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately sneered: "The Platinum Bishop's indifferent remark is indeed quite fair!"

idiot!

Even Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, couldn't help but curse inwardly. Salas's bias was too obvious. Not only did he offend the Nine Star Hall, but there were also so many students and teachers from the Spirit Master Academy watching. Wouldn't this just ruin the Spirit Hall's reputation? What kind of idiots did Bibi Dong promote?

If Salas weren't so lowly and unaware of Qian Renxue's true identity, she would have already rebuked her.

Ning Fengzhi, however, was more than happy for the Nine Star Hall and the Spirit Hall to clash, the more tense the better. He immediately fanned the flames, saying, "Bishop Salas, although the Elephant Armor Sect has always maintained good relations with the Spirit Hall, openly showing favoritism in front of so many people is unfair. Where does this place the Nine Star Hall? Openly attacking participating students on the qualifying rounds, where does this place His Majesty's face?"

"good!"

With Ning Fengzhi's support, Emperor Xueye immediately felt his back straighten, and his imperial might surged: "Sect Leader Huyan openly attacked a participating team member. Such behavior seriously violates the order of the Soul Master Competition. I have decided to disqualify Elephant Armor Academy from participating!"

"you"

Hu Yanzhen was furious upon hearing this. Such behavior was a blatant disregard for the reputation of the Elephant Armor Sect.

Salas's expression changed as well. He was about to say something when he saw that Bone Douluo had appeared behind Ning Fengzhi at some point, staring at Salas and Huyan Zhen with predatory eyes.

Even if Salas and Huyan Zhen were tied together, they wouldn't be a match for Bone Douluo. At this point, neither of them spoke, and Huyan Zhen turned and prepared to leave.

"Sect Leader Huyan, you haven't apologized yet!"

Just then, Xiao Yu's voice slowly rang out.

Hu Yanzhen, feeling humiliated, didn't want to pay any attention to Xiao Yu and was about to leave the venue when Gu Rong blocked his way. "Hu Yanzhen, apologize! At your age, you're bullying a young girl. Aren't you ashamed?"
