Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Tang San, however, clenched his fists tightly. He hadn't forgotten Ning Rongrong's warning: if they couldn't win the Soul Master Competition, the Clear Sky Sect would kill Xiao Wu.

Although the grandfather seemed to have passed away, he wasn't sure if the order would still be carried out, so he dared not gamble and could only hope to win.

But how could he possibly win against such a formidable opponent?

In this somber atmosphere, half a day passed, and finally it was the Shrek Academy team's turn to fight the Spirit Hall team.

The Shrek Academy team took to the field, forming a six-pointed star formation with Ning Rongrong at the core, clearly in preparation for better unleashing their Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Dai Mubai stood at the very front, flanked by the Soul Masters Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun, followed by Tang San and Xiao Wu, while Oscar, who had no combat power, was protected at the very back.

This is a fairly conservative formation; even if the opponent has methods like spatial teleportation, they can handle it.

"Na'er!"

Looking at the formation of the Shrek team opposite, Xie Yue gestured to his younger sister beside him.

Although he was very confident in his own strength, he would not gamble with the honor of the team. If he were eliminated in the first round, the entire Spirit Hall would lose face.

Therefore, this battle must not be lost, nor can any unexpected events occur.

Since your Shrek team's trump card is the seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill, then I'll let you reduce it a bit.

Hu Liena understood, and after the referee announced the start, she channeled her martial spirit, her beautiful eyes meeting Ma Hongjun of the Shrek team a hundred meters away. Her invisible sword intent and spiritual power struck Ma Hongjun, provoking his inner fire.

This is precisely Ma Hongjun's weakness. He had been used to indulgence in the past and had no power to resist in this regard. Not to mention that after the Phoenix Flame was contaminated again, the intensity of the evil fire was even more terrifying than before, and sometimes it would even cause him to lose control.

"not good!"

Ning Rongrong, who was preparing the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique, changed her expression slightly. She sensed that the mental protection she had placed on Ma Hongjun had been broken through by a sword intent, so she quickly pushed Ma Hongjun out of the range of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique and downgraded the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique to a Six-in-One.

Although there have been some changes, things are still generally within acceptable limits.

Nine-colored light emanated from Ning Rongrong, engulfing Dai Mubai and the other four. After the light disappeared, a figure with an extremely voluptuous figure appeared in the spot, which was none other than Zhu Zhuqing.

However, compared to the current Zhu Zhuqing, her current figure is more perfect, as if she were the adult Zhu Zhuqing.

That's right, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill is still based on Zhu Zhuqing, and only Zhu Zhuqing can perfectly bear and utilize everyone's soul power.

While Dai Mubai could withstand the effects of activating his Indestructible Body, he wouldn't be able to utilize it effectively.

Although Ning Rongrong can make perfect use of it, her close combat ability is still lacking, and her physical fitness is not as good as Zhu Zhuqing, who is a Beast Soul Master. Therefore, it is most suitable for Zhu Zhuqing to take on the role.

"Let me warm them up first!"

Yan twisted his neck, and a thing that was said to be the eternal flame appeared in his palm. Then he slammed his palm into the ground.

Driven by its own soul power, the blazing eternal fire spread rapidly, quickly covering the entire arena. The ground then melted rapidly under the eternal fire, turning into magma.

Fortunately, an energy shield isolated the area; otherwise, the intense heat alone would have been enough to harm the people in the audience area, causing things like baldness.

After creating the magma, Yan unleashed his Martial Soul True Body and merged the magma into it, further strengthening it. In the end, a magma giant over a hundred meters tall appeared, wielding a giant magma sword.

The domineering sword intent and terrifying heat distorted the space itself, demonstrating its formidable strength.

Without delay, he swung the giant magma sword and slashed out, causing a huge wave to surge from the magma pool beneath his feet and crash down upon it.

Faced with such a massive attack, Zhu Zhuqing did not try to withstand it head-on. Instead, she leaped into the sky and charged towards the magma giant that Yan had transformed into, wielding her twin swords.

Although the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill greatly enhances combat power, it also consumes a lot of resources. They can only be maintained for a maximum of one minute, so a quick victory is necessary.

Facing the charging Zhu Zhuqing, Yan dared not be careless and wielded his magma giant sword to launch a strong attack and intercept her.

Although he is now enormous, he is not clumsy and possesses agility comparable to his original size.

He swung the giant magma sword in his hand rapidly, almost turning it into a curtain of light that enveloped him.

Without Zhu Zhuqing needing to make a move, Ning Rongrong manipulated the Void Sword Formation to pierce through the defense formed by the magma giant sword, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to rush in. Then, using the sword formation to propel her body, she drilled a large hole in the magma giant's head.

Unfortunately, Yan's martial soul is the Flame Lord, an elemental martial soul. When he uses his true martial soul, his entire body will turn into magma, making him virtually immortal with no fatal weaknesses.

Even if you drill a hole in someone's head, or even blow their entire head or body apart, as long as there's still magma, they can reassemble.

Meanwhile, Yan was waiting for them to walk right into his trap. After Zhu Zhuqing entered his head, he controlled the fire giant to plunge into the lava pool, taking Zhu Zhuqing with him.

The lava pool below is where you truly belong; getting out of there won't be easy.

This period of time is enough for Xie Yue to prepare for his fatal blow.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall team was not idle either. The support-type spirit masters unleashed various amplifications, and the control-type spirit masters assisted Yan in trapping the Shrek team.

Hu Liena was also using her mental power to interfere with Ning Rongrong's control over the Void Sword Formation, trapping her completely in the lava pool below.

It has to be said that the Shrek team is really excellent. Even with one less person using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their combat power is no less than that of an ordinary peak Douluo. It would be difficult to defeat Zhu Zhuqing in this state. The best approach is to wear her down.

As for Ma Hongjun, he was eliminated long ago.

After the evil fire erupted, Ma Hongjun lost his mind and didn't even know how to fight against the scorching lava. Fortunately, the referee stepped forward in time and pulled him out, otherwise he would have been burned to a crisp.

At this moment, the entire lava pool was churning violently, indicating the intensity of the battle below.

Not long after, a tall and fiery figure rushed out; it was Zhu Zhuqing.

The lava pool was also cooling rapidly, and finally a disheveled figure crawled out – it was Yan.

Yan clearly lost the underground battle. Although the magma pool was his home ground and greatly enhanced his strength, and he was immortal, the problem was that the girl's sword intent was too pure, which injured his mental strength. He was forced to use his Martial Soul True Body state and suffered a certain backlash.

It wasn't that he was too weak, but that his opponent was too strong.

After all, it is a six-in-one martial soul fusion skill, which contains several extreme attributes, including extreme fire, which greatly makes it immune to its own fire attribute attacks. It is normal to fail.

But it's been dragged on for so long, that's enough.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing charged towards Xie Yue, who had closed his eyes and was in a sword-drawing stance.

That was the person in the Spirit Hall team who posed the greatest threat to her.

"Clang!"

Sensing Zhu Zhuqing's approach, Xie Yue suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and drew his curved sword, unleashing all his power in a sword-drawing technique.

A slender, highly refined blade of energy slashed out, locking onto Zhu Zhuqing and preventing her from dodging.

This is the result of Xie Yue's cultivation over the years. Although he has only practiced one move, the sword-drawing technique, he has cultivated it to an extreme level and possessed the ultimate sword intent.

In addition, the Killing Blood Flame obtained from someone earlier was all concentrated in this one strike, enough to injure even a level 100 god.

Faced with this seemingly simple and unadorned strike, Zhu Zhuqing focused her mind like never before, merging the swords in both hands into one, and thrusting forward with all her might.

The blade energy and the longsword were locked in a stalemate, but in the end, Xie Yue's attack, which had been accumulating power for a long time, was more powerful and refined. Not to mention that it also incorporated the divine-level strange fire, the Blood Slaughter Flame, making this attack a solid divine-level attack.

The blade energy slowly cut into the longsword, slicing towards Zhu Zhuqing's palm.

This is not just a clash of sword and saber energy, but a contest of sword and saber intent.

It is obvious that Zhu Zhuqing is far inferior. Even with the fusion of sword intent with Ning Rongrong, she still cannot compare to the ultimate sword intent that Xie Yue has cultivated over many years.

The longsword, after being fused together, was cut in half, but Zhu Zhuqing took the opportunity to break free from the lock of the sword energy.

At the same time, his soul power was almost exhausted, so he had to separate his teammates who had been integrated into his body.

"We still lost!"

With a sigh, Ning Rongrong turned and headed towards the venue exit.

Failure was within her expectations, especially after discovering that the other party had influenced Ma Hongjun, which made her even more convinced that she could not win this battle.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't linger either. After nodding to Xie Yue, she left with Ning Rongrong.

She wasn't really interested in winning the championship; what she really wanted was to compete against those prodigies. That final duel alone was incredibly beneficial to her, and even answered many of her questions about sword intent cultivation.

Although he has developed the Sword Domain, his cultivation of sword intent itself is still far from sufficient.

The next step should be to cultivate sword intent to its extreme, just like that person, so that the condensed sword energy can be invincible.

Although Dai Mubai and Oscar were unwilling, they had no choice but to leave.

Only Tang San stood there, glaring resentfully at Xie Yue and the others, his face contorted with rage.

He had originally planned to win the championship in the finals, but who would have thought he would be eliminated in the first round? Now he is out of the running for the next round, let alone winning the championship. If he fails to win the championship, Xiao Wu's life will be in danger.

It's all because of that damned Spirit Hall!

"Third Brother!"

Unaware of the situation, Xiao Wu stepped forward and tugged at her third brother's arm. Since they had already lost, there was no need for them to stay on the field any longer.

Moreover, the presence of several god-level experts made her very uncomfortable, fearing that her identity would be exposed, especially by the god-level experts of the Spirit Hall.

"I'm fine!"

Taking a deep breath to suppress his resentment, Tang San left with the team, but before leaving, he still glared venomously at the Spirit Hall team.

Everyone from the Spirit Hall deserves to die!

Xie Yue and the other two naturally noticed Tang San's resentment and malice, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Although we don't know what His Holiness the Pope is planning, he has definitely been eyeing that kid for a long time, and he will not have a good ending in the end.

At the same time, in the Shrek team's stands, Yu Xiaogang, sitting in a wheelchair, had bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept defeat, but the Shrek team being eliminated in the first round was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Yu Xiaogang, proving that he was a useless person.

Especially considering they lost to the Spirit Hall team, he could already imagine the mocking expression on Bibi Dong's face.

How could this be?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and my stomach swelled up unnaturally.

Meanwhile, Flander, clinging tightly to the railing, was equally unable to accept such a defeat.

How could their Shrek team be eliminated in the first round?

This will inevitably become a laughing stock in the entire Soul Master community.

Most importantly, he also wanted to wait for the Shrek team to face off against the Star Luo Royal team, and then take the opportunity to make a deal with the Star Luo Crown Prince to transfer to the Star Luo Empire for development.

But now it's all over. As a loser and a laughing stock, even if he went to the Star Luo Crown Prince's door, it's questionable whether he would even be allowed to see him.

The worst part is that the defeat in this battle was mostly due to his own disciples. If they had completed the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their strength would definitely have been further enhanced, and they might have been able to win.

Now that they've failed, their disciple bears a great deal of responsibility, which will inevitably make Tang San even more resentful, and he might even try to kill him after the Soul Master Competition ends.

Hongjun is like his son; he must not let Hongjun be harmed.

Just then, a muffled thud was heard, followed by Flander feeling himself being swept away by a storm, and then by an unbearable stench.

Flander, his mind reeling from the spray, turned around blankly and saw that his best friend's wooden wheelchair had fallen apart and he had been thrown into the air. The entire stands were a mess, including his own clothes.
