Chapter 182

Not giving them much time to catch up, the referee came to the center of the two teams and loudly said, "Match ready, you may release your martial souls. Lai Ke Advanced Soul Master Academy team versus Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy team, ready."

As the referee's voice fell, both sides released their martial souls.

Dai Weis and Zhu Zhuyun each had two yellow and two purple soul rings rise from their bodies; Dai Weis's soul power fluctuation actually already approached Soul King level, his soul power reached forty-nine rank like Tang San.

Although Zhu Zhuyun was somewhat weaker, his soul power level astonishingly reached the terrifying forty-seven rank, and his and Dai Weis's strength already approached Soul King.

The five people behind them also each released their martial souls, their soul rings revealed, all being the optimal configuration of two yellow and two purple; the Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy team was also a strong team, all members at Soul Ancestor level.

However, Tang San wasn't overly worried; even though he had learned from Dai Mubai that the opponent might possess a martial soul fusion skill, with his strength he could completely not fear them.

Only saw Tang San's left hand Haotian Hammer suddenly appear, three purple and one black four soul rings on his body slowly rose; this terrifying soul ring configuration instantly shocked Dai Weis and Zhu Zhuyun.

They didn't appear in the first round, so they had no idea Tang San possessed twin martial souls, let alone know of this terrifying soul ring configuration; after all, in the first round Tang San didn't even use the Haotian Hammer.

Dai Weis looked at Tang San's four terrifying soul rings on his body, his expression instantly turned solemn—this damn, is this the soul ring configuration a Soul Ancestor should have?

However, the shock this gave Dai Weis and them didn't end, because besides Tang San this monster, Shrek Academy actually also had five Soul Ancestors?

Zhu Zhuyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing somewhat flustered: "No, this is impossible; when you left home you were only in the twenty-something rank, and only two years have passed, how could you have already broken through to forty rank?"

When Shrek Academy came to the finals, Dai Weis and Zhu Zhuyun had already noticed them, but in their subconscious they didn't regard their younger siblings seriously.

After all, the age gap was there; with similar talent, how could they possibly catch up to us two? Even if they learned that Shrek Academy was the second place in the Heaven Dou Empire's qualifying tournament elsewhere, it couldn't change their minds.

As one of the three seeded teams, in their eyes the only opponent was the Spirit Hall Academy team.

But now, when Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing truly displayed strength above forty rank, Dai Weis and Zhu Zhuyun, besides being shocked, were also filled with killing intent.

Although the age gap is so large, their strength has already been quickly closed by the opponent; if given them more time, the future victory or defeat would truly be uncertain.

Dai Mubai coldly looked at Dai Weis; from his elder brother's eyes, he naturally could read that killing intent.

In terms of talent, Dai Mubai was naturally somewhat stronger than Dai Weis; his innate evil-pupil double pupils also meant he had attracted attention since childhood, otherwise he wouldn't have become Dai Weis's rival.

At this moment, although the match hasn't started yet, Dai Mubai's heart is already extremely delighted.

From childhood onward, every time Dai Weis saw him, deep in his eyes lay that intense contempt and disdain; he never regarded him as an opponent.

But now, he has already found solemnity and a hint of fear in Dai Weis's eyes; all of this is what he has striven for relying on himself.

"Match start." With the referee's command, this much-anticipated tournament finally began.

Tang San's Haotian Hammer in his hand and his terrifying three purple one black soul ring configuration undoubtedly became Dai Weis's main focus; after all, although both their soul powers were forty-nine rank, the gap in soul ring configuration was too great.

Therefore, at this moment Dai Weis wasn't thinking like in the original about how to toy with Dai Mubai, but instead used all his strength right from the start.

Only saw Dai Weis and Zhu Zhuyun's figures suddenly coincide, then a terrifying soul power fluctuation began to erupt, four yellow and four purple eight soul rings shot up into the sky, then were placed over their overlapped figure.

After the light faded, a head with body length reaching five meters and height about three meters, the Netherworld White Tiger suddenly appeared, its aura already reaching the level of a high-rank Soul King.

This is exactly the martial soul fusion skill of Dai Weis and Zhu Zhuyun—the Netherworld White Tiger.

A forty-nine rank Soul Master plus a forty-seven rank Soul Master, their martial soul fusion skill can rival a high-rank Soul King; this is also Star Luo Royal Academy's trump card.

When facing Tang San, who possesses the Haotian Hammer and that terrifying soul ring configuration that shocks the ears, they had already held nothing back, because they wanted to eliminate any possibility of failure.

In the original, Dai Weis and them were careless from the start, so they were gradually taken advantage of; but now they won't be.

When the Netherworld White Tiger was unleashed, Dai Mubai instinctively looked toward Zhu Zhuqing, but at this moment Zhu Zhuqing paid no attention to Dai Mubai; her gaze had locked onto a Soul Master from Star Luo Royal Academy, and she shot out as a black shadow.

Dai Mubai steeled himself and likewise chose to charge at a Soul Ancestor whose martial soul is the Inflated Water Buffalo.

And this Netherworld White Tiger was left for Tang San to deal with.

"Xiao San, Excited Pink Sausage!" Ao Si Ka directly used his fourth soul skill, throwing a sausage at Tang San.

Excited Pink Sausage, increases all attributes by ten percent.

After Tang San ate the sausage, he lifted the Haotian Hammer and directly collided with the Netherworld White Tiger; the four soul rings on his body instantly lit up two of them.

Ma Hongjun, Tailong, and Meng Yiran each also locked onto a Soul Master and charged forward.

The battle was about to break out.

The instant the Netherworld White Tiger made contact with Tang San, it discovered Tang San's terror; with their all-out burst of power they actually couldn't subdue Tang San for a moment, relying on the strength of the Haotian Hammer martial soul and that terrifying soul ring configuration, Tang San alone actually fought the Netherworld White Tiger to a standstill.

After discovering this, the Netherworld White Tiger let out a special roar, then spat out a light wave that repelled Tang San, and then directly charged at Tang San.

Tang San sneered, the Chaotic Whirlwind Hammer Technique began to gather power.

However, just as the Netherworld White Tiger was about to rush in front of Tang San, a mirror image door suddenly appeared between them.

The Netherworld White Tiger dove straight into it.

Tang San, who was about to execute the Chaotic Whirlwind Hammer Technique, staggered for a moment, then loudly shouted, "Everyone be careful!"

As Tang San's words fell, Tailong's body was already flung away; Tang San stared and saw that behind Tailong, the Netherworld White Tiger had just re-entered the mirror image door.

Gu Xuan, watching from below, felt somewhat moved; he had to admit that this Soul Master from Star Luo Royal Academy truly had decent strength, and the skill of this mirror image door was somewhat similar to his own spatial door, both allowing travel through space.

However, this mirror image door's range is limited, and it does not have the terrifying long-distance capability of his own spatial door.

But this is already enough to prove the opponent's strength.

"Damn it!"

Tang San angrily shouted, lifting the Haotian Hammer and giving chase; at the same time, the purple light in his eyes rotated to the extreme, he wanted to try to predict the opponent's next attack target.

But the next moment, behind Zhu Zhuqing a mirror image door silently opened; Tang San, following his intent, his Haotian Hammer in hand flew out directly.

However, the expected Netherworld White Tiger did not appear; this time the Netherworld White Tiger appeared behind Ma Hongjun in the sky.

This time they actually opened two mirror image doors simultaneously! One on the ground, one in the air.

Because of his line of sight, Tang San naturally noticed the ground one first; by the time he noticed the one in the air, it was already too late.

Ma Hongjun in the sky was wildly opening his mouth to spew evil fire, scorching the opponents below; the next moment, Ma Hongjun had no time to react, a huge Netherworld White Tiger from behind directly flung him away. The flung Ma Hongjun instantly bled from mouth and nose, and while in the air he had already fainted.

A full-force strike from a high-rank Soul King-level Netherworld White Tiger is not something a low-rank Soul Ancestor like Ma Hongjun, completely unprepared, can resist.

At this moment Tang San's eyes were practically splitting; this time he didn't lock onto the Netherworld White Tiger anymore, but instead aimed at the Soul Master using the mirror image door, after recalling the Haotian Hammer he directly charged at that opponent.

As long as we eliminate this source, the Netherworld White Tiger will have no ability to escape into space; then won't it just be at our mercy?

While Tang San charged toward Li Jun, he simultaneously shouted, "Gather! Defend!"

This shout was directed at the other members of Shrek Academy; at this moment, if they split up they would surely be defeated one by one, so before he settles Li Jun, he cannot allow any teammates to be eliminated.

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were very fast, and in an instant they ran towards Dai Mubai; Oscar didn't go over, but instead took a flying mushroom sausage and flew up to evade.

At the same time, Oscar was also quickly making flying mushroom sausages; by the time Tang San settled Li Jun, the whole Shrek team flying up would already have won half the battle.

After all, the Netherworld White Tiger is strong but lacks flight ability; without Li Jun, having Tang San deal with the Netherworld White Tiger means they've already won half, right?

What Tang San didn't expect was that Li Jun didn't dodge at all, but continued to release his soul skill, controlling the Mirror Image Gate.

The two female auxiliary Soul Masters behind him burst out all their soul power at this moment, respectively bolstering Li Jun and the Netherworld White Tiger.

Then these two actually jumped down from the Dou Hun Tai before Tang San arrived; at this moment Tang San felt unwilling.

Ghost Shadow Mysterious Trajectory Step was unleashed, and Tang San's speed suddenly became a bit faster.

When Tang San's Haotian Hammer fell before Li Jun, a purple mirror surface abruptly appeared in front of Tang San, and he instinctively used a soul skill.

He directly released his third soul skill, after all he thought the Netherworld White Tiger was about to appear.

However, the imagined Netherworld White Tiger did not appear; the Haotian Hammer fell, the mirror surface before his eyes shattered directly, and Li Jun's body was also flung backward, but the mirror still blocked most of the damage, and with the recent power and defense boosts from the two auxiliary Soul Masters, Li Jun did not suffer serious injury.

However, Li Jun, who had been flung backward, wore a smile, as if his scheme had succeeded.

Tang San suddenly thought of something, turned his head and shouted at the recently gathered Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran: 'Scatter!'

But his words came too late, for at that moment a Mirror Image Gate appeared above the three, and a Netherworld White Tiger descended from the sky.

Dai Mubai suddenly looked up, was startled by this scene, and instinctively stepped back a few steps, wanting to leave the battlefield.

He wanted to defeat Davis, but he didn't want to die!

Zhu Zhuqing beside him, seeing this, felt even more disappointed in Dai Mubai—no, perhaps she no longer felt anything, after all she had long thought Dai Mubai had no hope.

Only saw Zhu Zhuqing's soul power explode over her whole body, her four soul rings lighting up in sequence, and she actually took the initiative to rush toward the Netherworld White Tiger.

When a person loses hope, nothing remains but despair.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing only wanted to rely on herself, and could only rely on herself.

The Netherworld White Tiger fell, and Zhu Zhuqing's figure before it seemed too tiny, instantly being enveloped.

But just then, a Haotian Hammer appeared—that was the one Tang San had thrown after shouting for them to scatter.

However, even with the aid of the Haotian Hammer, Zhu Zhuqing's figure still flew backward, shooting straight down from the competition platform; the Zhu Zhuqing who flew backward had blood pouring from her mouth and nose, obviously suffering severe injury.

Instinctively dodging the attack, Dai Mubai saw this scene, his eyes widened in anger, and he shouted loudly: 'Zhu Qing!'

Then only saw Dai Mubai's fourth soul skill erupt, the White Tiger Meteor Shower shooting toward the Netherworld White Tiger, blocked by the Haotian Hammer and Zhu Zhuqing, causing the Netherworld White Tiger's attack to hesitate a moment, giving Dai Mubai the chance to launch a full-force attack.

The Netherworld White Tiger was repelled; Dai Mubai and Meng Yiran were unscathed, but Zhu Zhuqing……

Gu Xuan was watching the match with great interest, after all the current Star Luo Royal Academy was going all out, displaying strength that was indeed very strong.

Just as one was watching the Netherworld White Tiger fall, Zhu Zhuqing's figure was flung out, falling straight toward this direction.

The next moment, without waiting for Gu Xuan to react, Zhu Zhuqing's body fell directly into Gu Xuan's embrace; Gu Xuan hurriedly reached out to catch her, then looked bewildered.

Nature's gift?

Before Gu Xuan could think of anything, Zhu Zhuqing spat another mouthful of fresh blood onto Gu Xuan's chest, soaking his clothes.

Ye Lingling beside Gu Xuan looked utterly incredulous—this isn't just sending dishes to Gu Xuan this lsp, right? This terrifying Will of D, Gu Xuan probably won't refuse, right?

After getting along with Gu Xuan for so long, Ye Lingling and the others had long been familiar with Gu Xuan; although Gu Xuan never goes out to flirt, he would definitely not let such a piece of meat that actively delivers itself to his door pass.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked open her eyes in a daze, because she realized she seemed not to have landed on the ground, but rather in a familiar yet unfamiliar solid chest.

Zhu Zhuqing, slowly opening her eyes, saw Gu Xuan's face clearly—indeed, very familiar; this scene seemed like a dream, as if she had seen it in a dream before.

Could this be a dream? Have I died? But dying like this is so unwilling……

I've clearly worked that hard, why can't I still escape fate!

In that case, before death, don't let yourself leave regrets; moreover, this is a pre-death dream, no matter what I say or do, nobody will know……

"Brother Gu…… I…… like……"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was very soft, so soft that Gu Xuan could only see her lips moving……

Gu Xuan, quick-eyed and quick-handed, took out a pill from his Soul Tool and stuffed it into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing: "……… you…… mm~"

"Lingling, heal her." Afterwards Gu Xuan said to Ye Lingling beside him.

Ye Lingling, upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, directly released her own martial soul.

A pale pink Nine Heart Begonia quietly emerged, two yellow, two purple, and one black—five soul rings suddenly appearing; as the soul rings pulsed, a terrifying holy light of healing fell directly onto Zhu Zhuqing's body, her injuries recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye……
