The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 221 Battle against the Spirit Hall Team

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, the crowd erupted in uproar once again.

If this weren't the Papal Palace, but somewhere else, a massive battle would surely have broken out.

"However, there can only be one champion. In the world of Soul Masters, the winner can usually take all the spoils. Only the champion team can take away these three Soul Bones. I hope that your three teams can go all out and win this honor."

Bibi Dong looked around: "This morning, there will be an individual elimination tournament with seven players from your three teams. The winning team will have an advantage and directly qualify for tomorrow's championship, while the two losing teams will compete for the other spot in the finals."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she sat down on the large lacquered gold chair that the waiter had brought over, and then gestured for Ning Fengzhi and the others to sit down as well: "Now you can send out your first team member to go on stage."

As Bibi Dong finished speaking, Li Xun slowly walked onto the arena to prepare for drawing lots.

Upon seeing this, the crowd immediately began to discuss, since even those who hadn't watched the match yesterday had heard that a sixth spirit ring of 100,000 years had appeared on the field.

As Li Xun's old rivals, the Blazing Fire Team had all been defeated by him before and were well aware of his strength. They had come this far with the intention of competing with him.

However, there's no need for that now. Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Feng Xiaotian gathered together and discussed it for a while.

Then Shui Bing'er raised her hands high: "Your Holiness, we concede defeat."

"What?"

The sudden surrender of the Blazing Fire Team was unexpected by everyone present. Although there weren't many Soul Masters there, they were all renowned powerhouses in the Soul Master world. What young person wouldn't want to show off in front of these seniors?

Even Li Xun, who was waiting for the draw on the arena, couldn't help but look over.

Salas, who was in charge of the refereeing, paused briefly, then frowned and asked, "Blazing Fire Team, you haven't even determined your opponent yet. Are you sure you're prepared to concede?"

"Yes, and we're not giving up this time either. The Blazing Fire team plans to forfeit the match. After all, I think even if we continued, we would still be in third place," Shui Bing'er said calmly.

There are a few things Shui Bing'er didn't say. First, there are no rewards for the second and third place winners. Second, the reason why the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament is so attractive is that talented commoner soul masters and some young masters from small families can get support from major sects or the Spirit Hall.

With their current achievements, they no longer need to prove themselves, and they know they have no way to deal with Li Xun now, so they might as well make things quick.

More importantly, both she and Feng Xiaotian had received Li Xun's invitation, so there was no need for them to showcase themselves anymore.

As for Huo Wu, the other party just said that they would meet with Li Xun after the competition.

"Are you really going to admit defeat?" Bibi Dong waved her hand to interrupt Salas, who was about to speak, and looked at Shui Bing'er expressionlessly.

"We...are sure." Shui Bing'er felt a tremor in her heart at that unwavering gaze, and then lowered her head to speak weakly.

"Alright, then let's change the rules for this final match. The Spirit Hall team will face off against the Heaven Dou Royal team. Both teams, get ready now." Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong did not try to persuade the Blazing Fire team to change their minds.

The Pope's words immediately silenced the noisy crowd.

Li Xun had no problem deciding the outcome with a single match, after all, there were still many things waiting for him.

However, this caught Xie Yue and the others off guard, who had hoped to take this opportunity to observe the strength of the Tian Dou Royal Team. They quickly pulled the team members aside for an impromptu meeting to make arrangements.

A moment later, the players from both sides went on stage.

There was no trash talk, no taunting. Both sides had a general idea of ​​each other's strength, and the more they talked, the more it would reveal their low character.

"Both sides, prepare to release your martial spirits." Salas, acting as the referee, looked around, waved to signal, and then quickly retreated.

As the referee finished speaking, the auras of the fourteen people on both sides collided violently, making the air feel somewhat oppressive. Then, one after another, spirit rings lit up, illuminating the arena with a dazzling array of colors.

The strongest members of the Spirit Hall team are undoubtedly the three leaders: Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, all of whom are level 50 Soul Kings with two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul King. The other four teammates also have the optimal configuration of two yellow and two purple Soul Masters.

Even a team of their caliber couldn't help but look a bit serious when they saw the opposing Tiandu Royal team.

Li Xun took the lead, standing at the very front of the group, with six spirit rings appearing one after another—one yellow, two purple, two black, and one red—below his feet.

Especially when the sixth and red spirit rings appeared, not only the Spirit Hall team, but even the audience present couldn't help but hold their breath.

"So the rumors from yesterday were true!" This was what everyone present who hadn't seen Li Xun's last match was thinking.

Even Bibi Dong's aura faltered. No one understood better than her the difficulty of obtaining a 100,000-year spirit ring, and now this spirit ring appeared on a boy who was not even fifteen years old, making her feel somewhat like she was in a dream.

Others might overlook Li Xun's cultivation level because of this red spirit ring, but she won't.

Bibi Dong felt that the Soul Emperor, who was not even fifteen years old, was a threat. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had not already joined the Spirit Hall, the first thing she would have done after Li Xun showed his talent would have been to wipe out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has submitted, it seems they aren't the ones supporting them.

"Elder Ning, it seems I misjudged you before!" Bibi Dong turned her head to look at Ning Fengzhi beside her.

"Your Majesty flatters me. Xiao Xun was just lucky to encounter a dying 100,000-year-old soul beast and received its sacrifice. It's not that he has any extraordinary talent."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ning Fengzhi smiled and bowed slightly to Bibi Dong: "Compared to the twin martial souls of Tang Hao's son, it is still slightly inferior."

Upon hearing about Tang Hao and his son, Bibi Dong's eyes flickered, then she murmured, "Strong luck, huh?"

At this moment, all eyes were focused on Li Xun, and even Zhu Zhuqing, whose strength had reached level 50 behind him, was subconsciously ignored.

"The match begins." The Platinum Bishop Salas swallowed hard as he looked at the spirit rings at Li Xun's feet.

"Proceed according to plan."

Although the Spirit Hall team was intimidated by Li Xun's red spirit ring, they were more afraid of the disappointment of being sent to Death Valley and Bibi Dong after their defeat.

They began their operation as soon as the referee announced the start.

Hu Liena smiled slightly, took a few graceful steps, and arrived at the front in a few turns. A fluffy tail appeared behind her, a pale red light emanated from her body, and a flash of pink light crossed her eyes as she stared straight at Li Xun.

Facing the attack from the Spirit Hall team, Li Xun stood still, holding his sword in front of his chest, and smiled at Hu Liena: "Release."

To immerse someone in an illusion, you need to influence their six senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and intuition.

The first three of these six senses are the foundation of illusion, but only those who can utilize the latter three are true masters.

Hu Liena's charm over people is the most basic kind, relying on soul power to influence people's vision and hearing.

This ability typically uses superior soul power and mental strength as a medium, forcibly inputting far more energy into the opponent's mind to influence their cognitive biases. It is fundamentally different from some troublesome genjutsu in ninjutsu.

This kind of low-level illusion can be effectively avoided whether you close your eyes or cover your ears.
