Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

Huang Yuan and Wang Sheng exchanged a glance. Although they had some doubts, they always trusted Lu Yu's words.

Huang Yuan nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Let's focus on the game first.

Wang Sheng took a deep breath, patted his chest, and grinned, saying, "Who cares what Tang San is thinking? Our Thanos Team is not to be trifled with!"

Even so, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that he was not entirely optimistic about the upcoming battle.

The competition was in full swing, and after several rounds of intense elimination matches, the situation on the field gradually became clear.

Cheng Youcai's team and the Puppet team were unfortunately defeated in the fierce battle and left the stage in disappointment.

Ultimately, the four teams that made it to the finals were Thanos's team led by Lu Yu, the renowned Blood Fiend team, the swift and powerful Whirlwind team, and the mysterious Underworld team.

The atmosphere in the audience grew increasingly enthusiastic, with discussions rising and falling, especially praising Shrek Academy's performance.

This time, Shrek Academy had three teams that made it into the top four, demonstrating their amazing strength.

Who will ultimately win the championship has become the focus of everyone's attention, and this largely depends on the individual strength of each team's core members.

Lu Yu stood in the center of the team, his gaze sweeping over his teammates.

Ning Rongrong stood to his left, holding the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand, her face showing a mix of nervousness and barely concealed excitement; Xiao Wu stood to his right, her bright eyes gleaming with eager anticipation; Zhu Zhuqing stood silently to the side, her gaze cold, like a sharp blade ready to be drawn at any moment.

Oscar and Huang Yuan stood at the back, discussing tactics in hushed tones, while Wang Sheng clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Lu Yu knew that although the team worked together well, the upcoming opponents would be an unprecedented challenge.

As the host's booming voice echoed throughout the venue, the matchups for the semifinals were officially announced: "Match 1: Thanos Team vs. Blood Fiend Team!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience exploded.

The Blood Fiend Team, with its fierce fighting style and strong overall strength, has always been considered a favorite to win this competition.

Their team not only had several Soul Master level experts, but also a Soul King, making them far stronger than other teams.

While Thanos's team performed well in previous matches, their overall strength seems to be slightly inferior to that of Blood Fiend's team.

Amid the audience's discussions, there was a mix of concern for Thanos's team and optimism for Blood Fiend's team.

Standing beside Lu Yu, Wang Sheng couldn't help but gasp as he listened to the host's announcement, his expression turning extremely serious.

He whispered to Lu Yu, "Blood Fiend Team... this is troublesome."

Their overall strength is greater than ours; they have several Soul Masters and a Soul King in charge.

Even with you here, we still have a slim chance of winning this game.

His voice was filled with deep worry, and his fists clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's gaze darkened slightly, but his face remained largely expressionless.

He turned to look at Wang Sheng, his tone calm yet unwavering: "I know this match won't be easy, but we're not without a chance."

Believe in yourself, believe in your teammates, we will win.

Although his voice was not loud, it was like an invisible force that flowed into everyone's heart.

Huang Yuan stood to the side, his brows furrowed, and couldn't help but interject, "Lu Yu, I believe in your strength, but the gap this time is indeed quite large."

To win, it seems, will come at a considerable price.

His tone carried a hint of doubt, but his gaze remained fixed on Lu Yu, as if he were expecting him to come up with a way to turn the tide.

Lu Yu did not answer immediately, but gave Huang Yuan a deep look, then looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Get yourself ready to go on stage."

In this match, we have no way out.

His words, though simple, carried an undeniable air of authority.

Although everyone was apprehensive, seeing Lu Yu's calm yet determined gaze, they all nodded and said no more.

Outside the arena, Thanos's team slowly walked in, and the cheers of the audience surged like a tide.

Lu Yu walked at the very front, his steps steady, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Just as they were about to enter the arena, a cold voice suddenly came from ahead: "Lu Yu, I didn't expect you guys would actually dare to come."

Lu Yu looked up and saw Xue Wuhen standing not far away, a ferocious smile on his face.

His eyes were filled with deep hatred, as if he wanted to devour Lu Yu alive.

Lu Yu and Xue Wuhen had met once before. During that encounter, Xue Wuhen was outmatched and suffered a considerable loss.

When they met again, he was clearly seething with anger.

Xue Wuhen sneered, "Last time I was careless, but this time, your Thanos team won't have any luck!"

His voice was full of provocation, and the Blood Fiend team members around him cast contemptuous glances at him.

Blood Fiend, the captain of the Blood Fiend team, stood beside Blood No Trace, arms crossed, a disdainful smile on his lips.

He said lazily, "Don't waste time. After we teach these guys a lesson, we need to recover our soul power and prepare for the next match against the Whirlwind Team."

His tone was full of confidence, as if Thanos's team was already prey in his grasp.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng and the others were instantly enraged and wished they could rush up and teach the other party a lesson.

Lu Yu merely smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over Xue Wuhen and Xue Sha, and calmly said, "Enough with the nonsense, let's see who's the best on the field."

Although his voice was calm, it carried an invisible pressure that caused Xue Wuhen's expression to change slightly.

The match officially began, and the atmosphere in the arena instantly became extremely tense.

Xue Wuhen struck first, his figure flashing like a ghost as he rushed towards Lu Yu, his soul power surging wildly as he unleashed his signature soul skill, "Triple Blood Wave Strike."

.

With a wave of his hands, a strong stench of blood filled the air, and waves of scarlet energy surged toward Lu Yu like a tidal wave, seemingly intent on tearing him apart.

A glint of light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He slightly shifted his body, and green light emanated from him. He became like a shadow, easily dodging Xue Wuhen's attack.

Immediately afterwards, he let out a low shout and unleashed his Soul Skill, "Swarm of Snakes."

Activate instantly.

Dark green light surged forth like a tide, covering the entire area. Countless writhing venomous snakes appeared out of thin air on the ground, hissing and radiating a chilling aura.

Xue Wuhen was startled. A tingling sensation came from his feet. He looked down and found that several venomous snakes had coiled around his legs, and the venom was rapidly entering his body.

He gritted his teeth, forcibly circulating his soul power to suppress the poison, but his body did not stop at all, and he continued to rush towards Lu Yu. However, Lu Yu had already anticipated his move. His figure flashed, and the fierce moves of Jeet Kune Do were unleashed like a storm, with a punch hitting Xue Wuhen's right arm squarely.

With a muffled thud, a dark green light appeared on Xue Wuhen's arm. The intense pain made his face turn pale, and his attack immediately faltered.

The spectators outside the stadium held their breath, their eyes glued to the intense battle on the field.

Seeing this, Xue Sha raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "Attack together! Don't give him a chance to breathe!"

Before he finished speaking, the other six members of the Blood Fiend Team attacked simultaneously, unleashing their soul power to form terrifying auras that pressed directly against Lu Yu.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng let out a low roar, his soul skill instantly erupted, a layer of golden light surrounded his body, his power surged, and he directly met the Blood Fiend head-on.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were not to be outdone; their figures moved like lightning, each blocking the other three members of the Blood Fiend Team.

Ning Rongrong stood at the rear, her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shining brightly, providing a buff to her teammates, while Oscar quickly made soul power recovery sausages, ready to provide support at any time.

Huang Yuan stood in front of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, gathering his soul power to protect them.

The battle instantly intensified, with the entire arena surging with soul energy and dust flying everywhere.

Lu Yu faced three opponents alone, yet his movements remained perfectly composed. Green light swirled around him, and every strike was incredibly precise.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing worked together seamlessly, using their speed and agility to outmaneuver their opponents.

Wang Sheng clung tightly to Xue Sha, enduring immense pressure but gritting his teeth to buy time for Lu Yu.

The battle was fierce, with both sides exchanging blows, and the situation on the field remained undecided for the time being.

The shouts from the audience rose and fell, creating an atmosphere so tense it was almost suffocating.

Just then, a cold glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He seized an opening, and his figure appeared behind the Blood Fiend Team like a ghost. He shouted, "Petrify!"

In an instant, a strange aura erupted from his body, and dark green light swept across the entire area like a tidal wave.

Five of the six members of the Blood Fiend Team were caught off guard, their bodies instantly stiffening and turning into lifeless stone statues.

The arena fell silent instantly, the noise from the audience abruptly ceased, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

Lu Yu stood in the center of the arena, his breathing slightly disordered, but his eyes remained as calm as ice.

He glanced at his opponent, who had turned to stone, and said calmly, "It's over."

On the arena, deafening cheers rose and fell like waves, and the air was filled with tension and excitement.

In the center of the huge circular arena, Lu Yu stood as straight as a pine tree, his clothes fluttering slightly under the influence of his soul power. His gaze was cold and profound, as if he could see through everything.

The scene on the field was astonishing—Lu Yu's opponents, the several Soul Masters who had originally been so aggressive, had all turned into lifelike stone statues, lifeless and frozen in place.

The stone statues have an eerie grayish-white sheen, and the delicate patterns depict the terrified expressions on their faces in their final moments, as if time has been frozen in that instant.

In the audience, thousands of eyes were fixed on this scene, their shock palpable.

Some people even forgot to breathe, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief.

"What... what kind of soul skill is this? It can actually turn a person into stone!"

A young Soul Master couldn't help but exclaim, his voice causing a ripple in the crowd.

His companion swallowed hard and murmured, "This is definitely not something an ordinary Soul Master could do. Just who is Lu Yu?"

The discussion swept through the entire venue like a tidal wave. Some were amazed, some were puzzled, and most looked at Lu Yu with awe.

Off the field, Zhao Wuji stood in Shrek Academy's exclusive area, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on Lu Yu.

His face was filled with shock, yet his eyes held a hint of fanaticism.

Zhao Wuji was not a naive person. As a Soul Saint-level expert, he had witnessed countless genius soul skills, from Thunderous Might to Spatial Teleportation, from the Magic-Suppressing Domain to Destructive Strike. Every soul skill of Lu Yu was amazing.

However, today's petrification technology has once again overturned his understanding.

"This kid... he's a monster that appears only once in a millennium!"

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself, his voice tinged with emotion, "His talent is in no way inferior to Yu Chen's, and may even surpass it."

If he has a powerful family backing him, his future is limitless!

His thoughts drifted back to the first time he met Lu Yu, when Lu Yu displayed amazing potential, and now, that potential was erupting like a volcano, unstoppable.

Zhao Wuji's lips curled up slightly. If he could recruit Lu Yu as a disciple, Shrek Academy would surely become famous.

On the other side of the audience, the members of the Dark Tiger Team and the Whirlwind Team were equally stunned into silence by this scene.

Dai Mubai leaned against the railing, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His gaze was fixed on the glowing figure in the center of the arena, and he felt a mix of emotions.

Lu Yu's strength made him feel a little frustrated. As one of the best students in Shrek Academy, he never thought that he would be so crushed by his peers.

Ma Hongjun, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, muttering, "This guy... he's inhuman! A Soul Master level cultivator can turn people into stone, how are we supposed to fight him?"

His tone carried a hint of resentment, yet it couldn't hide his admiration for Lu Yu.

Tang San sat a little further away, gazing at Lu Yu with a complicated expression.

His fingers unconsciously clenched into a fist, his nails almost digging into his palm.

Tang San and Lu Yu had many interactions, and each time they met, Lu Yu brought him a strong impact.

The first time, he and Yu Xiaogang joined forces to fight Lu Yu, but Lu Yu defeated them with swift and decisive methods, leaving them powerless to fight back; the second time, Lu Yu made him lose face again in front of everyone.

Those images replayed in Tang San's mind like they were etched into his memory. He gritted his teeth and secretly vowed, "Lu Yu, one day I will defeat you! I must get the Soul Refining Liquid!"

His eyes burned with an indomitable flame, and his fighting spirit blazed fiercely in his chest.

The game continued, but the atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense.

The Blood Fiend Brothers, Blood Fiend and Blood Without Trace, are formidable opponents in this Soul Battle Tournament, and are currently coldly watching Lu Yu.

Blood Fiend's gaze was sinister, carrying a hint of murderous intent.

He whispered to Xue Wuhen beside him, "This kid is their core member; we must take him down first!"

Xue Wuhen nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Although they could see that Lu Yu's soul skills were strange and unpredictable, they were confident in their Soul King level strength, which far exceeded Lu Yu's Soul Venerable cultivation, and believed that victory was within their grasp.

The two quickly exchanged a glance and decided to join forces to target Lu Yu and make sure to defeat him.

Standing in the center of the arena, Lu Yu keenly sensed the killing intent of the Blood Fiend Brothers. (End of Chapter)
