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

He unleashed his second soul skill, shooting out countless electric snakes to form a lightning net that surrounded Gai Dalun. Then came his strongest fourth soul skill, Thunder Dragon Head, which even incorporated some of the techniques for ruling the world that he had learned from Xuanzu.

A gigantic thunder dragon head materialized, and as BeiBei threw a punch, it crashed into the lightning net that was trapping GaiDaLun.

At the same time, Xu He also urged his spiked cannonballs to fire at the figure vaguely visible in the lightning net, and quickly reloaded and continued firing, as if he wanted to use up all the cannonballs on his body.

They dare not be careless against such opponents; they must unleash their full power to defeat them, or they will have no chance.

This encirclement was perfect, especially Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement, which was very sudden. Other soul masters would definitely not have been able to react in time, but for Gai Dalun, it was nothing.

Even after using his Eye of Insight to discern the intensity of the attacks from the others, he stopped paying attention and instead focused on studying Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

He had all the martial soul data collected by his teacher with the help of the four great empires, including the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. However, Xiao Xiao's Soul Suppressing Cauldron was different from the normal Soul Suppressing Cauldron; it was much stronger and should be a mutated martial soul.

Worth studying!

Neither Bei Bei nor Xu He relaxed. After unleashing their soul skills and spiked cannonballs, they continued their offensive. Bei Bei then activated her fourth soul skill, only stopping when her soul power was completely exhausted.

"Watch out, he hasn't fallen yet!"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao cried out, her face pale, her expression one of utter disbelief.

She had been maintaining her martial spirit to suppress that person and could sense his condition to some extent. However, after withstanding this wave of attacks, her Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was still held up and unable to suppress him.

It should be noted that her martial soul is called the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, which has an extremely strong suppressive effect on martial souls and soul power. Especially now that she has combined her first and second soul skills and is further enhanced by Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the suppressive power has reached its current limit, but it still cannot suppress her, and the power cannot even penetrate into her body.

Not to mention that the opponent was being attacked by two teammates, yet they still hadn't fallen. What kind of monster is this?

Xiao Xiao's words caused the group's expressions to change drastically. They all took several steps back and stared warily at the area shrouded in lightning.

Beibei's soul skill, Thunder, did not last long. It quickly dissipated from the earth, revealing Gai Dalun, who was still lifting the cauldron with one hand.

Gai Dalun is in a sorry state. His clothes have disappeared, leaving him only in a pair of boxer shorts, revealing his strong and perfect body.

Seeing that the other party had not suffered any real harm, Xiao Xiao was extremely unwilling, but she could only withdraw her martial soul, as she was also nearing her limit.

"Are you killing people, or are you competing?"

Lowering his left arm, Gai Dalun frowned as he looked at the seven Shrek Seven Devils.

That was less like a competition and more like a killing spree; there was no holding back whatsoever, only deadly moves.

It's only because his invincible body function module is powerful enough; otherwise, anyone else would have been blasted into dust long ago.

The seven members of the group remained silent, staring intently at Gai Dalun, pondering how to proceed in the next battle.

"Since you can't afford to lose, then forget it, referee. This round is a draw. Both of us are exhausted and can't continue."

Seeing the seven people's persistence, Gai Dalun lost interest and turned to look at the referee.

"We don't need our opponent's pity!"

Before the referee could speak, Beibei angrily declared that this was an insult to herself and a humiliation to Shrek Academy.

"This is not pity, it's that I don't want to cause trouble. You can't afford to lose, and neither can your Shrek Academy. If I were to eliminate you in the knockout stage, it would cause me and my academy a lot of trouble. Moreover, each of you has a powerful force backing you up, and that Xu Sanshi is even a member of the royal family of our Douling Empire."

I still have to live in the Douling Empire, how am I supposed to fight?

Although I am not afraid, it is still a potential threat that could affect my relationship with the Empire.

I don't know why Shrek Academy sent you reserve players to the field, but I can see your extreme obsession with victory. That obsession can make you do anything, including kill your opponents, which goes against the original intention of the Soul Fighting Tournament.

I am not even a match for you, but an enemy you can kill.

He glanced at it indifferently, then immediately gestured to the referee again.

"I hereby declare this battle a draw!"

The referee glanced towards the main stands first, and after seeing his emperor nod slightly, announced the result of a draw in a loud voice.

The audience members all looked at this result with strange expressions, especially the Soul Masters, most of whom had heard Gai Dalun's words in the arena, and upon closer inspection, they made perfect sense.

The participating college teams, in particular, looked very unhappy, clearly not wanting to face off against Shrek Academy's group.

Those people's very existence already exceeds the limits of the competition rules. If they win and injure someone, they will likely be targeted afterward.

It's unwise to offend so many forces, especially Shrek Academy, for the sake of a single competition.

It's important to know that Shrek Academy has trained countless powerful individuals who are spread throughout the three great empires. If you were to offend Shrek Academy, you would have enemies all over the world.

I hate facing this kind of opponent the most.

Noticing the strange looks from the audience, Beibei and her friends were so angry that their cheeks turned red, but they couldn't refute it.

The individuals involved were all from prominent backgrounds, and they couldn't afford to lose. Shrek Academy couldn't afford to lose either, and they certainly didn't hold back at all. These were undeniable facts, which made them feel even worse.

Although they want to go through the knockout stage, it's definitely not in this way; it would be even more painful for them than losing.

Unable to bear watching any longer, Wang Yan rushed over and led the seven people away from the scene. The group slunk back to the hotel, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong immediately fell asleep upon entering.

"Beibei, you're being too irrational. Some things are better left unsaid; they can't be brought up in the open."

After confirming that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were simply overexerted and had no major problems, Wang Yan led them into a room to rest. After they came out, he looked at Bei Bei.

In his view, the man's request for a draw was perfectly reasonable and a normal choice; he was even quite glad that the man was sensible.

In comparison, the reactions of Beibei and others were inadequate, especially since Beibei questioned the matter, bringing it to the forefront and making things more complicated, which also had a significant impact on the academy's reputation.

"But that's so insulting."

Xiao Xiao was very dissatisfied, not believing that they had done anything wrong. Since it was a competition, they should do their best to defeat their opponents, and injuries were inevitable.

Xu He and Xu Sanshi were also very dissatisfied, as the outcome should not have been like this.

Looking at these people, Wang Yan felt a headache coming on.

Ultimately, these children are all too young, the youngest being only twelve years old. They don't understand many things, and they wouldn't comprehend even if we explained them.

"Yueheng, talk to them."

Wang Yan gestured to Dai Yueheng, indicating that he was unable to persuade the children himself and had to let Dai Yueheng, who was also a young man, do it.

Helpless, Dai Yueheng, who was singled out, could only analyze the situation to her juniors.

As someone from a ducal family, he focused more on results than on the process or methods.

If we are eliminated in this knockout stage, the consequences will be unimaginable, even more serious than what we are experiencing now.

Not only him, but Beibei and the others would also be under unimaginable pressure, and some might even be unable to stay in the academy any longer. Compared to that, the current outcome is already quite good.

It wouldn't have been a big problem, but Beibei acted too irrationally before and needs further training.

Leaving aside the Shrek team members receiving psychological counseling on one side, Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor on the other side, also obtained information about the Shrek team.

"Are you injured?"

Xu Jiawei was stunned after reading the intelligence report.

The intelligence report clearly stated that Dai Hao's eldest son, Dai Yueheng, had gone to the medical examination room in disguise and suffered serious injuries. Moreover, only three inner court disciples from Shrek Academy came this time; the rest were the seven outer court disciples, who were the reserve team for this generation.

"Go contact the people in the Sun Moon Empire and ask if they were the ones who did it."

After some thought, Xu Jiawei thought of the Sun Moon Empire.

Although the three major empires on their side are very hostile to Shrek Academy, especially after obtaining the electromagnetic soul tool which gave them the power to challenge Shrek Academy, they will not immediately break off relations. They still need to slowly accumulate strength.

In particular, it is necessary to completely eradicate Shrek Academy's intelligence network within their own organization and clearly distinguish who among them are their own people and who are biased towards Shrek.

These things take time to do, but the Sun Moon Empire is different. They have always been hostile to Shrek Academy and have clashed with them many times. This incident was most likely done by the Sun Moon Empire.

Immediately, someone went to the research institute below the Blue Silver Forest and directly questioned Kong Deming and others who were leading the research there.

Are they our people?

After Kong Deming dismissed the envoy sent by the Xingluo Emperor, he looked at Jing Hongchen with a questioning expression.

He was unaware of the matter and had not been in contact with the Empire for a long time; Jing Hongchen was much more knowledgeable about it.

"Impossible. Neither His Majesty nor His Highness the Crown Prince have such intentions. Our current focus is on the Solar Furnace II project and the future planetary engine project. It is impossible for us to cause trouble and provoke Shrek Academy."

Jing Hongchen decisively denied it, saying that it was absolutely impossible.

The devastating defeat in the far north had already caused them heavy losses, so provoking Shrek Academy at this time would be extremely unwise. Moreover, according to Senior Xu Jinghong, Dragon God Mu En had already reached level 100 and become a god, so they had even less reason to send someone to provoke him at this time.

Therefore, it could absolutely not have been done by their Sun Moon Empire.

"What about the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Kong Deming then asked about the Holy Spirit Cult. That sect has been an unstable factor from the beginning, not to mention that you, sir, caused trouble for that crazy woman Ye Xishui last time, so you will definitely be resented.

"You know what the relationship is between Death God Douluo and Dragon God Douluo. She wouldn't harm Shrek Academy, let alone that she's probably already involved with Dragon God Douluo, waiting for an opportunity to plot against you, Master."

Jing Hongchen still denied it. He had learned a lot of information last time, such as the complicated relationship between the three people. Therefore, the Holy Spirit Cult would never target Shrek Academy. Even if someone in the Holy Spirit Cult wanted to cause trouble, they would have to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of the two top-level powerhouses, Death God Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"Is it possible that someone is trying to frame me and cause trouble?"

Kong Deming considered another possibility: Shrek Academy's main combat team members were injured, and only three could come, forcing them to send reserve members into battle. The accident must be real.

Now it depends on who did it. It's not impossible that it was one of the three great empires. If it was the three great empires, it would definitely be a frame-up to make Shrek Academy directly confront their Sun Moon Empire.

"It's not impossible. Our Sun Moon Empire has a deeper accumulation in the Soul Guidance System, which will give us a greater advantage in the new era that you are pioneering, and it will inevitably make some people envious."

A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and Jing Hongchen also considered this possibility.

In any case, their Sun Moon Empire itself has no reason to take action; it can only be other forces, either the three great empires and the Holy Spirit Cult, or certain other forces.

"Continue with the experiments and perfect that super electromagnetic cannon as soon as possible. Death God Douluo and the others are definitely plotting against Mr. Shrek Academy also doesn't want to see Mr. Shrek usher in a new era. A great war is inevitable, and this is also our opportunity."

Kong Deming, too lazy to think about it anymore, headed towards the laboratory at the bottom floor, preparing to improve the oversized electromagnetic cannon as soon as possible, especially its spatial aiming function, to provide Mr. with a means of killing gods.

Xu Jiawei not only sent people to inquire about Kong Deming, but also sent people to the heads of the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire to inquire.

He also felt that this matter was not simple. If it were just a struggle between several major empires, it would be fine. After all, they had been using this method for thousands of years and it was nothing unusual.

The worst-case scenario is that another force is secretly making a move. If that happens, it will be quite troublesome, and we will have to find and eliminate them.

Upon receiving the news, the representatives of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire took it extremely seriously and immediately relayed the message back to their respective empires, ordering them to thoroughly investigate the matter and find out which family was responsible.

The mainland has always been a game between the four great empires and Shrek Academy. They can use dirty tricks against each other, and everyone does it. It's just a matter of who is more skilled and can have the last laugh. If they lose, they can only say that they are not as skilled as others.

But we will absolutely not allow other forces to interfere or be used as pawns; the dignity of the empire cannot be violated.

Not to mention that they are at a critical juncture and do not want any trouble to arise. Any individual or force that wants to cause trouble must be crushed as soon as possible without any leniency.

Leaving aside the suspicious actions of the four great empires, Gai Dalun was consulting with his teacher on the other side.
