Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 134 Shocking the Entire Audience: The Six-Ring Soul Emperor

After the battle with Shrek Academy, the other academies gained a better understanding of the Nine Star Academy's strength. Many academies chose to voluntarily forfeit when it was their turn to fight against the Nine Star Academy. This included Tianshui Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academies, and Plant Academy, which, although not a team from the Tiandou region, was also very strong.

The two academies abstained for the same reason: Cangmo.

During their duel with Tang San, both Shui Bing'er, the captain of Tianshui Academy with the top-tier beast spirit Ice Phoenix, and Yao Zi, the only one from the Plant Academy with fire resistance, clearly felt the threat posed by Cang Mo's flames.

They were certain that even if their soul power was on the same level as Cangmo's, not to mention that Cangmo's soul power was nearly ten levels higher than theirs.

When facing an opponent far superior in strength, choosing to concede and preserve one's strength is not shameful. Rather, knowingly going into battle knowing defeat is inevitable is truly foolish.

Thus, Nine Star Academy effortlessly achieved a twelve-game winning streak in the qualifying rounds, tying for first place with Shenfeng Academy, which also had a twelve-game winning streak. Thunder Academy ranked third with eleven wins and one loss, having lost to Shenfeng Academy, and has not yet faced Nine Star Academy. Following closely behind is Tianshui Academy with a record of nine wins and three losses, having lost to Nine Star Academy, Thunder Academy, and Shenfeng Academy. Tianshui Academy's opponents in the last two matches are not particularly strong, so it is easy for anyone to guess that Tianshui Academy's final record will be eleven wins and three losses.

As for Shrek Academy, all of their main players were injured in the battle against Nine Star Academy, so they had to give up the next three matches. Their current record is seven wins and five losses. If Elephant Academy hadn't been disqualified from the competition, they would have already fallen out of the top tier.

Today, Nine Star Academy's opponent is none other than Divine Wind Academy, which is tied for first place with them.

This arrangement surprised Xiao Yu slightly. He originally thought that the winning rates of Nine Star Academy and Divine Wind Academy were even, and that such a grand finale should be reserved for the last round. He did not expect that the opponent in the last round would be Thunder Academy.

However, this only slightly surprised Xiao Yu. In his eyes, neither Shenfeng Academy nor Leiting Academy could stop the Nine Star Academy from advancing.

At Shenfeng Academy, Feng Xiaotian, who had previously made a duel with Xiao Yu, strode out of the waiting area, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yu, who was standing at the head of the Nine Star Team's waiting area, his gaze filled with fierce fighting spirit.

Xiao Yu slowly stepped forward, his sharp gaze meeting Feng Xiaotian's. Their eyes seemed to spark intensely. The two entered the arena almost simultaneously from opposite directions.

After taking his place on the arena, Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath and said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, before the match begins, I want to thank you first. If it weren't for your guidance, I would still be completely absorbed in researching my self-created soul skills, and it would have been impossible for me to break through to the Soul King level before the age of twenty-five!"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite. I only gave you a couple of pointers. The key is that you were willing to listen to advice and reflect on your own actions, unlike some people who only blame this and that when they lose, and never think about their own problems!"

(Tang San: Achoo!)

Feng Xiaotian continued, "While I am grateful to you, it's not so easy to have both women in your life. Today, show me your full strength and prove to me that you have the ability to protect Huo Wu!"

"I will!"

Xiao Yu nodded. He didn't have a bad impression of Feng Xiaotian. Although Feng Xiaotian was a bit obsequious, he wasn't a bad person at heart. He pursued Huo Wu openly and honestly, unlike some nobles who resorted to all sorts of insidious means.

In the original work, Feng Xiaotian was able to represent the academy in agreeing to the merger of Blazing Fire Academy, which is enough to show that his status in Divine Wind Academy was not low, and was probably equal to that of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang in Blazing Fire Academy.

Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy have a close relationship and are truly like brothers. If Feng Xiaotian had used his elders to pressure Blazing Fire Academy, they would have no choice but to agree to his relationship with Huo Wu. However, he did not do so. He only wanted to win Huo Wu's heart through his own efforts. If you call him a simp, he should be a deeply affectionate simp.

"Both sides prepare."

Just then, the referee slowly raised his right hand.

Xiao Yu stopped thinking and turned to walk towards the edge of the arena, while Feng Xiaotian went in the opposite direction.

Both sides occupied a corner of the arena. Feng Xiaotian let out a sharp long howl, and his soul power suddenly erupted. A blue two-headed wolf appeared behind him, and five soul rings, yellow, purple, and black, rose one after another from his feet, releasing soul power as heavy as mountains.

Behind Feng Xiaotian, his information was already displayed on the electronic screen: Feng Xiaotian, Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, Soul Power Level 53.

This large electronic screen is equipped with a soul guide device that detects the soul power of the target object. It displays the target object in real time, rather than being reported and pre-entered by the team.

The teams only reported basic information such as the names and ages of their members. If teams were required to report their strength in advance, those academies with powerful backgrounds would have already thoroughly exposed the other academies.

Although the referee had not yet announced the start of the match, Feng Xiaotian, after activating his Martial Soul, released his Soul Power, which transformed into a gust of wind and directly attacked Xiao Yu. If it were a Soul Master with slightly weaker strength, he would probably have been forced to his knees by Feng Xiaotian at this moment.

Xiao Yu was completely unaffected by the gale; his expression remained calm. As he raised his hands, a dark figure appeared behind him.

At the same time, Xiao Yu's soul power suddenly burst forth, directly pushing back the wind pressure brought by Feng Xiaotian.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

Six spirit rings, far exceeding the optimal combination, pulsed beneath Xiao Yu's feet.

"How...how is this possible!"

Upon seeing the six spirit rings beneath Xiao Yu's feet, the entire arena fell silent, everyone's face filled with shock. Even those on the podium were inwardly turbulent.

"No way!"

As if provoked by something, Yu Xiaogang pointed at Xiao Yu and shouted hoarsely, "Cheating! Nine Star Academy is cheating! He must have lied about his age for the competition!"

Beside Yu Xiaogang, Tang San had a gloomy expression. Unlike Yu Xiaogang, he did not doubt Xiao Yu's age. Before the competition, all the participating team members had undergone strict bone age tests, and there was no way to fake it.

It's a magical herb, it must be a magical herb!

Only immortal herbs possess such heaven-defying effects, allowing a person to reach such terrifying cultivation levels before the age of twenty-five.

Tang San cried out in his heart, unwilling to accept his fate: This heaven-defying treasure, the immortal herb, should belong to me, to me!
