Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

The next day, as the sun slowly rose in the sky, Tiandou City, which had been quiet all night, finally became full of vitality again.

Countless young soul masters continued to pour out from all over Tiandou City. Their purpose was very clear, and that was the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is drawing to a close, but in fact, the qualifying teams have already been determined. They are, in order, Seven Star Academy, Kamikaze Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Shrek Academy.

As one of the five element academies, Thunder Academy and Elephant Armor Academy had no hope of qualifying for this competition, while Kamikaze Academy and Tianshui Academy also encountered the most powerful Seven Star Academy in the last few days of the competition.

After having a simple breakfast at the Seven Stars Academy, Cheng Xiao left the academy with everyone else and headed towards the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena.

As the focus of this competition, all kinds of eyes kept falling on Cheng Xiao along the way. Although he wanted to ignore those eyes, there were too many of them, making him feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Cheng Xiao's uncomfortable expression, Ye Lingling, who was following behind him, couldn't help but chuckle. This smile immediately attracted the attention of countless men.

Under the scorching gazes along the way, Cheng Xiao and his group slowly walked into the large fighting spirit arena that was already crowded with people, and then walked towards the designated seats.

When he sat down at the designated seat, Cheng Xiao immediately saw Feng Xiaotian sitting at the Kamikaze Academy. The two looked at each other, and the latter bowed to Cheng Xiao from a distance. This behavior immediately made Cheng Xiao a little confused.

"I didn't use any heavy hands last night?" Cheng Xiao scratched his head, puzzled.

Just when Cheng Xiao was wondering about the meaning of Feng Xiaotian's action, Dugu Yan came over and whispered, "Cheng Xiao, I just heard from grandpa that the Kamikaze Academy has given up the next game."

"Give up?" Upon hearing this news, Cheng Xiao was slightly stunned, then he reacted. He was confused after being beaten last night, and knew he couldn't win, so he simply gave up.

"Cheng Xiao, did Feng Xiaotian come to see you last night?" Dugu Yan suddenly said.

"Yeah, I came, got beaten, and went back." Cheng Xiao did not deny it. He shrugged his shoulders, looking as if it was none of his business.

"No wonder this guy gave up. It seems he has recognized your strength." Dugu Yan patted Cheng Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile.

"That's perfect, it saves us a lot of trouble." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

While the two were chatting, the stands surrounding the Great Fighting Spirit Arena became crowded with people, and the noisy sounds reached the sky.

The penultimate day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition finally kicked off again. When a referee walked onto the square, deafening cheers broke out.

The cheers gradually died down as the referee pressed down his palm. The middle-aged referee looked around, put the megaphone to his mouth and said loudly: "Everyone, after more than a month of preliminaries, Tiandou City..."

"Okay, the competition time is almost up. From now on, all the colleges whose names are called please go on stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you exceed the specified time, you will be regarded as forfeiting."

The referee didn't say much nonsense. After briefly introducing some things, he announced the start of the game.

"Seven Stars Academy vs. Kamikaze Academy."

"Kamikaze Academy, give up!"

Then the referee continued to read out the results.

"In the next match, Xiangjia Academy will play against Oakland Academy!" After hearing the name of their own academy, the two academies that had been prepared for a long time came on stage one after another from both sides of the fighting arena. Due to the fact that they could not advance, the fight between the two teams was not as exciting as before. Anyway, they could not advance, so it was the same whether they won or lost.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, the battle between the two colleges ended quickly. There was no frills, only poor performance in the game.

With these two academies taking the lead, the subsequent academies that did not advance also began to follow suit. Except for Shrek Academy, which was more severe, the other academies basically just wanted to exchange ideas and ended the matter hastily.

Glancing at those soul masters who appeared to be working hard but were actually fighting in secret, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but shake his head. Without rich experience in life-and-death battles, it would be impossible to become a truly powerful person. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the Douluo world is more stable. If it were any other world, he would probably have been arrested as an evil cultivator.

"The twentieth match, Seven Stars Academy versus Tianshui Academy!"

As the referee's voice fell, the noisy square suddenly became quiet for a while, and then countless eyes were all shifted to Cheng Xiao. These spectators also wanted to see whether Cheng Xiao would ruthlessly defeat these beautiful girls from Tianshui College.

"Tianshui College, give up!"

Cheng Xiao, who was about to leave for the fighting arena, was stunned. He looked at the participating spirit masters from Tianshui College in disbelief. Why did they give up before the fight even started?

The referee was also confused by Tianshui College's actions and immediately asked, "Does Tianshui College really want to give up?"

The leader of the Tianshui College team stood up and said calmly, "That's right, we at Tianshui College will give up."

"Even the Kamikaze Academy has given up. We at Tianshui Academy don't think we can get any benefits from the Seven Star Academy. So, we at Tianshui Academy will give up this battle of spirits."

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was boiling.

"Well, since Tianshui College has given up, the winner of this game is Qixing College." The referee was also a little helpless. He had wanted to watch the battle between Qixing College and Tianshui College, but it was over before it even started.

Such a dramatic ending was unexpected by both the contestants and the audience in the auditorium. However, this situation was not uncommon. After all, even Kamikaze Academy admitted defeat. Tianshui Academy's surrender did not cause much waves. At most, there was only incomprehension.

"Cheng Xiao, it seems that with your presence, our Seven Star Academy can win without fighting." Dugu Yan patted Cheng Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, although the outcome of the battle was determined from the beginning, it is still good as it reduces some trouble." Yu Tianheng also said with a smile.

Meanwhile, in the Shrek rest area.

Tang San was the only one in the rest area at this time. Grandmaster walked in at some point. His eyes fell on Tang San and he sighed helplessly.

"Teacher, if we continue like this, can we really win the championship?" Tang San lowered his head and whispered.

"Hey." The master walked up to Tang San, put a hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiao San, don't be too self-deprecating. Your strength is not weak. It's just that Cheng Xiao's brilliance is too bright and it overshadows you."

"Teacher has always believed in you, because you are the son of Haotian Douluo, and you are also a genius with twin martial spirits that is rare in a hundred years!"

Hearing Master's words, Tang San was immediately moved. Only his teacher would support him when he was at his most vulnerable. Now, all he had to do was to try his best to win the championship and help his teacher prove his theory! (End of this chapter)
