Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

"It's my turn to go on stage. I'll try my best to deplete her soul power. Good luck to the rest of you brothers."

After he finished speaking, Chang Yuankai appeared.

Chang Yuankai was very muscular, with dark skin, and his face, though not handsome, had a slightly roguish air about it.

Without any unnecessary chatter, the competition continued.

The battle between Chang Yuankai and Shui Bing'er was completely one-sided. The difference in their soul power levels was enormous, and Chang Yuankai had no chance to fight back. He was like a toy in front of Shui Bing'er and was defeated in less than three minutes.

Next was Xu Yuan, who possessed the martial soul of a long staff. His soul power level was also level 31, and he was also completely defeated when facing Shui Bing'er.

Next was Xing Qiu'er, who possessed the long whip martial spirit, but she was easily subdued by Shui Bing'er as well.

Faced with absolute strength, no amount of fancy tricks will make a difference. Whether it's Chang Yuankai or Xu Yuan, their defeat was inevitable.

Fortunately, they all played their part and depleted Shui Bing'er's soul power as much as possible.

Next up was Ye Hongyang, who possessed the Raven Martial Soul, and without exception, he was defeated by Shui Bing'er once again.

After Ye Hongyang's defeat, Shui Bing'er's condition declined significantly. After so many battles, even the soul power of a Soul Master was not enough. Although the difference in strength between Soul Masters is huge, the gap between Soul Venerable and Soul Master is not so exaggerated that a Soul Master can easily crush a group of Soul Venerables.

"It's my turn to go on stage. I'll try to finish off Shui Bing'er." Zhao Yan, one of the core members of Shrek Team 2, finally stepped forward.

Zhao Yan entered the game, and the match continued.

After activating his Martial Soul, Zhao Yan held a paintbrush and quickly began to paint. He decisively used his third Soul Skill, and within a few breaths, a two-headed monster bird with a wingspan of over four meters appeared on the competition field and quickly flew towards Shui Bing'er.

Almost at the same time Zhao Yan finished painting, a layer of frost covered his body. It was Shui Bing'er's first soul skill, Ice Seal, which locked onto his mind and was unavoidable.

Faced with the strange bird flying towards her, Shui Bing'er immediately used her third soul skill to resist the ice ring.

A deep blue halo radiated outwards from Shui Bing'er, causing the two-headed bird to pause slightly during its flight, but it quickly resumed its flight.

Seeing that her Ice Ring of Resistance was ineffective against the two-headed monster bird, Shui Bing'er immediately used her second soul skill, Ice Ring Armor, to provide herself with a layer of defense.

At this moment, the two-headed bird's attack finally arrived, easily destroying Shui Bing'er's defenses. As its claws reached for Shui Bing'er, she finally had no choice but to say, "I lost."

The two-headed bird vanished instantly, and at the same time, Zhao Yan, whose body was almost frozen stiff, returned to normal.

"Zhao Yansheng, Shrek Academy, Soto City!"

The referee announced the result of the match, and then announced the next player from Tianshui Academy to enter the arena: "Tianshui Academy, Xue Wu, enters the arena!"

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy's second team gasped in shock. They hadn't expected Tianshui Academy to send in a Soul Master, which meant they had lost even their last glimmer of hope.

Although Tianshui Academy first sent out Soul Masters and then Soul Grandmasters, it was still a similar result for Shrek Academy's second team. Their only chance of defeating Tianshui Academy was in their dreams, or perhaps there was a traitor within Tianshui Academy.

"Tianshui Academy has produced another Soul Master. It seems that the second team is about to collapse."

On Shrek's home team side, Chen Luo and his group were watching the game attentively, while Flander couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Luo said, "Losing was inevitable, but their performance deserves recognition."

"In the second team, Lu Changming and Zhao Yan can be given special attention in the future. If the academy has any good resources, we can give them priority consideration."

Flander nodded: "I will talk to Zhao Wuji. If they are willing to come to Tiandou City, that would be even better."

"You only mentioned those two, what about your disciple Yu Xiuyuan?"

Chen Luo said, "Of course I will take special care of my disciple."

It wasn't just Chen Luo and Flander who noticed Lu Changming and Zhao Yan's strength and talent; the others in the spectator stands did too.

Zhao Yan, in particular, caught the attention of Bishop Salas.

"This kid's martial spirit is interesting..." Salas whispered.

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, was more concerned about Lu Changming and had already made plans to go find him after the qualifying rounds.

The qualifying rounds of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament are used to select talents for the Empire and some other forces. Soul Masters who perform well will naturally attract more attention, and the favor of some major forces is also an opportunity for Soul Masters.

When Xue Wu entered the arena, as a Soul Master, she had an absolute advantage over Zhao Yan, who was at the Soul Venerable level. The difference in their Soul Power levels was like an insurmountable chasm.

Knowing he was no match for Xue Wu, Zhao Yan frantically used his soul skills continuously, from the first to the third, his paintbrush never stopping. With enough distance between them, Xue Wu couldn't get close to Zhao Yan immediately, and this short distance was enough for Zhao Yan to unleash his soul skills.

Under the watchful eyes of all the spectators, wolves, tigers, and two-headed monsters appeared one after another, attacking Xue Wu. Xue Wu had to deal with them seriously, and the process was clearly not easy, as those special monsters were all very difficult to deal with.

If Zhao Yan's soul power level were a few levels higher, he might have really been able to subdue Xue Wu, but unfortunately, there are no "ifs".

Xue Wu used four soul skills in succession: first, she summoned dark clouds, then rain, then ice and snow, and finally a whirlwind to expand the ice and snow. She consumed a lot of soul power before she could barely subdue the monster summoned by Zhao Yan.

As long as there are no absolute control or dash skills, Zhao Yan has a certain advantage when facing any opponent.

He can unleash his soul skills very quickly. Basically, as long as he summons one monster, he can guarantee that he can summon subsequent monsters, thereby maximizing his combat power.

In team battles, Zhao Yan is naturally the key target for protection, but in one-on-one combat, whoever becomes his opponent will have a headache, as it is destined to consume a lot of soul power to defeat Zhao Yan.

Some people might naively think that simply eliminating Zhao Yan would solve the problem, but the key is to have the possibility of getting close to him. The monsters he summons are not to be trifled with. There is a certain gap between a Soul Master and a Soul Sect Master, but if a Soul Sect Master doesn't take it seriously, they could still be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

"Tianshui Academy, Xue Wu wins!"

As the referee's voice faded, the match between Zhao Yan and Xue Wu came to an end.

In the end, Zhao Yan was defeated, but Xue Wu's soul power was also greatly depleted.

Shrek Team 2 has only one player left, Yu Xiuyuan.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yu Xiuyuan took the stage.

Chapter 194 The Power of the Cursed Seal

With a surge of soul power, a giant white snake appeared around Yu Xiuyuan. Like Zhao Yan and the others, he was surrounded by three soul rings: yellow, yellow, and purple, symbolizing his Soul Master strength. However, his aura was significantly stronger than that of the others in the group.

Yu Xiuyuan's activation of his martial soul also sparked a heated discussion.

"A martial spirit can actually be projected outwards? Or did this kid bring a spirit beast to the competition?"

"What's so strange about releasing your Martial Soul? You're really underestimating the importance of Weapon Soul Masters."

"You think I'm talking about weapon spirit masters?"

There was discussion not only in the spectator stands but also in the VIP stands.

Bishop Salas said, "It has been a long time since I have seen such a special martial spirit."

Emperor Xueye asked, "Has this type of martial soul appeared before?"

Bishop Salas said, "Yes, as far as I know, he is currently at Shrek Academy."

Emperor Xueye nodded slightly, not particularly concerned about the matter.

"Game start!"

With the referee's command, Yu Xiuyuan and Xue Wu both entered battle mode.

Because Xue Wu had just exhausted a lot of her soul power in the battle with Zhao Yan, she knew that she could not withstand another round of exhaustion. In order to help the team win as soon as possible, Xue Wu used her first soul skill almost the second after the start of the match.

A dark cloud enveloped the arena, followed by icy rain, and finally snow. Xue Wu used all three of her soul skills in succession.

Yu Xiuyuan didn't just stand by and watch. He controlled his white snake to rush towards Xue Wu. As he moved forward, Yu Xiuyuan's second soul ring lit up, and the white snake opened its blood-red mouth and spat out a huge fireball, which flew towards Xue Wu.

Xue Wu had never seen such a strange martial soul before. When faced with the sudden fireball, she had no choice but to use her fourth soul skill one after another.

Snowflakes danced gracefully, creating a powerful whirlwind in just a few breaths, blowing the fireball into sparks and eventually dispersing it completely.

Furthermore, with the arrival of the whirlwind, the temperature of the competition venue dropped significantly, which affected the speed of the white snake to some extent, but it continued to move forward.

"This level of coldness isn't enough!"

Yu Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with determination. The white snake's speed suddenly increased, and it finally arrived in front of Xue Wu. Even with the interference of the whirlwind, the white snake still rushed in. Its huge body wrapped around Xue Wu in the most simple and brutal way, and stared at Xue Wu with its blood-red maw open.

Xue Wu's body was trembling slightly, and she finally managed to say with difficulty, "I lost."

No one expected that Yu Xiuyuan's white snake would be able to break through Xue Wu's soul skill and continue moving forward in that extremely cold condition, and finally even capture Xue Wu.

Even Xue Wu herself hadn't expected that she was so confident in her soul skills, so confident that she believed that once she unleashed all her soul skills, all she had to do was wait for victory to arrive.

As a result, victory did not come; instead, defeat struck.

"Yu Xiuyuan of Shrek Academy in Tiandou City wins!" The referee quickly announced the result of the match.

The spectators erupted in an uproar.

"Could that white snake possess the physique of a soul beast? It's actually able to advance against the wind and snow. I can't even tell if it's a martial spirit or a soul beast!"

"Is there a difference? As long as it's stronger, that's all that matters!"

"I've lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a special martial spirit. It seems very powerful!"

"My match was already over, but I never expected that Xuewu would lose. It's unbelievable!"

The spectator stands were filled with students and teachers from other academies, while most of those who spoke up were from unknown academies, such as the Elemental Academy. They were all very calm, as if they had long been used to all kinds of unexpected events. The Elemental Academy was also the target and role model for other academies. To put it bluntly, they were an absolutely strong team. Even if they had never fought against them, they had heard of their reputation.

Tianshui Academy already had a considerable reputation, and with its many beautiful female students, it naturally attracted the attention of most students in the academy.

"If that white snake can ignore the icy cold, wouldn't Tianshui Academy be in for a major upset?"

"Impossible. Tianshui Academy still has four students, including one Soul Master. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of soul power consumption, they can wear down the Shrek Academy student to death. It's just that the victory wouldn't be particularly satisfying."

While the audience was discussing, the referee announced the next student from Tianshui Academy to take the stage.

"Tianshui Academy, Yu Hairou, enters the arena!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a tall girl entered the competition venue and then activated her martial spirit at the referee's signal.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, that's right, another Soul Master.

Shrek Team 2.

Upon seeing the four spirit rings, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh, "Strength is a fatal flaw. If we had a Spirit Master in our team, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Zhao Yan said, "With Yu Xiuyuan's strength, dealing with this Soul Master shouldn't be a problem."

Zhao Wuji said, "But Tianshui Academy still has three students. We are destined to lose this match against Tianshui Academy. Actually, I should have listened to the master's advice and forfeited the previous matches against strong teams. This way, we could have preserved our strength as much as possible. After this battle, if we encounter other strong teams, we will basically have no chance of winning."

Lu Changming said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao! We were too weak!"

The look of disappointment on Zhao Wuji's face vanished instantly, replaced by a gratified smile: "You are all already very good. At your age, to be able to come to this qualifying tournament and to demonstrate such outstanding combat abilities is something many soul masters can only dream of. When the next Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament comes, it will be your stage!"

Zhao Wuji and the others' conversation did not affect the progress of the match, as Yu Xiuyuan was already engaged in a fierce battle with Yu Hairou.

To be precise, it was the White Snake who was engaged in a fierce battle with Yu Hairou.

The white snake's enormous body gave it a natural advantage, but Yu Hairou was, after all, a Soul Master and a powerful offensive Soul Master whose Martial Soul was the Coral Barracuda, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

Yu Hairou also tried to break free from the White Snake's entanglement and rushed straight towards Yu Xiuyuan, but all her attempts failed.
