Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

His eyes were clear and firm, without the slightest panic or fear, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.

That purplish-red spike, carrying the aura of death, hurtled toward Yuan Gungun's face, about to devour him.

However, at this critical moment, Yuan Gungun still did not make any dodging movements, as if he had given up resisting.

"stop!"

At this critical moment of life and death, Jili's tongue abruptly stopped, less than two inches away from Yuan Gungun's forehead.

Thick liquid dripped continuously from the dark red tongue, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench that sent chills down one's spine.

Countless thick chunks of meat enveloped Jili's tongue, desperately trying to move forward, but it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, only able to move little by little, at a speed many times slower than before.

The two sides remained deadlocked, neither able to gain the upper hand, as if time had stood still.

Seeing this, everyone in the Snow Demon Sect breathed a long sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.

Han Yu nodded gently, a smile of appreciation on her face.

"Gun Gun, that was terrifying!" Long Aotian said, taking a deep breath and still feeling shaken.

"He probably did it on purpose," Han Yu analyzed calmly. "Given Yuan Gun Gun's personality, he never does anything without being sure of success. That guy's finished, just you wait and see."

"In terms of the use and control of soul skills, Yuan Gungun is far superior to his opponent," Han Yu added.

Upon hearing Han Yu's words, the members of the Snow Demon Sect immediately felt relieved, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.

It's important to know that, as the competition has progressed to this point, although other teams have suffered varying degrees of casualties, Snow Demon Sect has maintained a full roster due to its strength.

But now that we've reached the semifinals, it would be bad if any players were eliminated.

The Snow Demon Sect disciples watching from the sidelines were still whispering and discussing the outcome of the match, but the situation on the field had already undergone a dramatic change.

Jili's scarlet tongue drew closer and closer to Yuan Gungun, two inches, one and a half inches, one inch, the strong, fishy stench seeming to foreshadow impending death.

Everyone held their breath. They knew that if Yuan Gungun was touched by that tongue, he would be instantly defeated, and might even be seriously injured.

However, at this critical moment, Yuan Gungun's body also began to undergo astonishing changes.

The originally low roar gradually became high-pitched, as if it contained enormous energy about to explode.

The bright yellow electric light surrounding him grew increasingly dazzling, gradually turning from bright yellow to gold, radiating brilliance and illuminating the entire arena.

The thick layer of fat on his body became translucent, like golden crystals, refracting a dazzling light.

At the same time, a powerful and profound aura rose from Yuan Gungun's body, growing stronger and stronger, as if it were purifying the entire space.

His muscles also began to change, the original bright yellow gradually being replaced by gold. From a distance, Yuan Gungun looked like a small giant cast in gold, majestic and imposing.

Geely's tongue, which had been advancing with unstoppable momentum, slowed down significantly under Yuan Gungun's transformation, as if it had sunk into a quagmire and could hardly move forward.

Jili also clearly felt the resistance. His burly body began to exert force, his legs pressed tightly against the ground, and his first and third spirit rings shone brightly. Then, his second spirit ring also lit up.

These three spirit rings all enhance Jili's strength and speed, which is the key to his ability to maximize the power of the Brain-Eating Beast Martial Soul.

He possesses strength and speed comparable to a brain-eating beast, and his powerful tongue is an innate attack method of the brain-eating beast martial soul.

As early as when he acquired his first soul skill, which allowed his head to transform into the shape of a brain-eating beast, Gilly was already proficient in using this tongue strike.

As for the four soul skills that followed, it wasn't that Jili didn't want to use them, but rather that the current situation simply didn't offer an opportunity. He had to go all out and use his strongest attacks to break through Yuan Gungun's defenses.

That's right, his tongue is his strongest point, but often, the strongest point is also the weakest point.

Evil Soul Masters are a group of fallen individuals who walk on the edge of humanity. They abandon the light and embrace darkness, always exuding a chilling aura.

They are rejected by the world not only because of their heinous evil deeds, but also because they possess two qualities that are completely different from those of righteous soul masters.

Firstly, their fearsome fighting style is often cruel, bloody, and utterly inhumane.

In order to enhance their strength, they did not hesitate to trample on all moral and ethical bottom lines and use all kinds of evil methods that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Secondly, their cultivation level increases at an astonishingly rapid pace, like riding a rocket, allowing them to acquire power in a very short time that ordinary people could never achieve in their entire lives.

All of this stems from their twisted souls and their endless thirst for power.

For Jili, who possesses the Brain-Eating Beast Martial Soul, his rapid improvement comes from devouring the brains of his enemies. Whether human or soul beast, as long as they are touched by his scarlet tongue, they will instantly become an empty shell, and he will greedily absorb their essence and transform it into his own power.

The stronger the brain marrow he devours, the faster his cultivation level increases; this is the terrifying aspect of his martial soul.

When his martial soul awakened, he was just an ignorant child who did not know what kind of power he possessed, nor what kind of path he would take.

He continued to live a muddled life until he was twelve years old, when he met the person who would change his life—the evil spirit master of the Holy Spirit Cult.

They discovered Gilly's potential and brought him back to the cult, where they began to subject him to evil training. Under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit Cult, Gilly's power advanced by leaps and bounds. In less than eight years, he transformed from a naive boy with only two levels of innate soul power into the evil soul master and soul emperor with sixty levels of soul power.

Such a rate of improvement is simply impossible in the normal world of Soul Masters.

This is an incredible miracle, but behind this miracle lies the loss of countless innocent lives.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, Jili devoured more and more brain marrow, and his mind gradually became twisted, becoming brutal, bloodthirsty, and inhuman—symptoms that almost all evil soul masters would exhibit.

They were like puppets whose souls had been devoured by power, unable to find their original selves anymore.

The attack method that Gilly used after consuming the brain marrow relied on his tongue, which was as flexible as a venomous snake.

This tongue is the most powerful and important part of his Brain-Eating Beast Martial Soul. If the tongue is injured, it will be a devastating blow to him.

Therefore, when faced with Yuan Gungun's golden light, Jili instinctively sensed danger. He had to retract his tongue before he could unleash his stronger soul skills, or he could kill Yuan Gungun directly with his tongue and devour his brain.

However, with his personality completely twisted, how could Jili be willing to give up when faced with a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse who might devour his delicious brain marrow? Greed and desire blinded him, leading him to make the wrong judgment.

This is also a major drawback of evil spirit masters; their minds have been distorted, making them unable to make correct judgments.

The golden light grew stronger and stronger, like a volcano about to erupt, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

As the tongue drew ever closer, a chilling expression appeared on Yuan Gungun's face, as if it were frozen solid.

His hands, which were clasped together, suddenly lit up. A brilliant golden light flowed like liquid and instantly merged into his palms, forming a golden energy ball full of energy, like a miniature sun, radiating dazzling light.

"Squeak!" With a scream, Gilly finally realized something was wrong and dared not continue thrusting forward. Instead, he retracted his tongue as if on cue.

But now, it's all too late.

Geely's proudly resilient tongue was actually stuck to the round, Soul Emperor-level energy ball like a piece of chewing gum.

But this was not Yuan Gungun's ultimate goal. Binding the other party's tongue was merely to buy himself a precious time to build up his strength.

In a flash, the golden light emanating from Yuan Gungun suddenly surged, dazzling like the blazing sun. He slightly shifted his body, lowering his center of gravity, ready to unleash a full-force attack.

His left hand, with its fingers loosely clenched, firmly controlled the ball of golden light, giving Jili's tongue no chance to escape. Meanwhile, his right hand slowly rose, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.

The fifth spirit ring on Yuan Gungun's body, the black halo that symbolized a ten-thousand-year spirit skill, seemed to ignite at this moment, releasing an incomparably dazzling golden light.

The spirit ring, originally as black as ink, now appeared as if cast in gold, radiating a sacred and majestic aura. At the same time, Yuan Gungun's right hand also underwent a strange change. Its originally sharp claws transformed back into a palm, but the surface of this palm was covered with a layer of fine keratin, shimmering with a metallic luster.

Under the golden light, a huge phantom seemed to appear behind Yuan Gungun. It was a giant that stood tall and exuded an unparalleled aura of power.

At this moment, Yuan Gungun's right hand also completed its final transformation. The entire palm turned into a golden crystal-like shape, and the muscle texture became blurred, as if it were composed of countless tiny golden crystals.

"Roar!" Yuan Gun Gun let out a high-pitched roar, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, which was deafening.

The sound waves transformed into visible ripples, spreading in all directions, causing the entire arena to tremble.

Having gathered his strength, Yuan Gungun did not hesitate to strike Jili's bound tongue with his right palm.

"Crack!" A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, exploded, as if the entire arena was torn apart by this enormous energy.

Previously, Geely remained unscathed from Yuan Gungun's attacks, without even a scratch.

But this time, when Yuan Gungun's palm strike, imbued with terrifying power, came down, a bizarre scene unfolded.

A blinding golden lightning bolt suddenly erupted from Yuan Gungun's palm, transforming into a golden lightning bolt as thick as a bucket, which slammed into Jili's tongue.

Accompanied by a piercing scream, a dense layer of golden lightning appeared on the surface of Jili's tongue, as if countless tiny electric snakes were crawling on it.

Yuan Gungun suddenly exerted force with his left hand, pulling hard in his direction. Jili's massive body immediately lost its balance, staggering forward uncontrollably a few steps, its eyes filled with disbelief.

And a layer of fine golden lightning began to emerge from his body, as if countless fine needles were piercing his body at the same time, causing him excruciating pain.

Seizing the opportunity, Yuan Gungun pushed off with his feet, launching himself forward like an arrow, instantly arriving in front of Jili. He unleashed three swift strikes with both palms, landing on Jili's shoulder and chest.

Severely injured, Jili seemed to have lost consciousness. His tongue remained taut, but his body was trembling violently, like a leaf.

When Yuan Gungun's fourth palm struck Jili's chest, Jili's entire body was enveloped in a golden light as thick as an arm, and the scales on his body were fully opened, like sharp blades, radiating a chilling light.

On the platform, the mysterious Grand Preceptor, who had remained silent while sitting beside the Regent and Crown Prince Xu Tianran, suddenly moved.

He slowly raised his right hand and gently pressed it against the armrest of the chair beside him. No sound was made, but the hard armrest seemed to melt away and disappeared without a trace.

In the arena, after striking four times, Yuan Gungun leaped up and did not continue attacking. Instead, he took a few steps back.

He raised his hands, and the golden light around his body gradually faded, revealing that he had withdrawn his martial spirit and soul power.

He stood calmly on the competition stage.

Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo who was acting as the referee, was somewhat stunned.

Although Yuan Gun Gun hit his opponent several times in a row, judging from the previous defensive strength, this Ji Li should have been able to withstand it completely!

Although those four palm strikes looked impressive and astonishing, and each strike caused Jili's body to tremble violently and crackle with electricity, it shouldn't have been enough for him to lose like that.

He's a demonic spirit master!

However, Yuan Gungun's actions proved that the match was indeed over.

He had already taken out the baby bottle and was silently recovering his soul power there.

He even closed his eyes and stood quietly in the center of the field.

In the audience area, a tall figure stood quietly not far from the competition stage. He slowly uttered two words: "Perfect." (End of Chapter)
