Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

As the game went on, the faces of the Spirit Hall's high-level officials changed subtly. Because of Cheng Xiao's presence, none of the Spirit Hall players on the field could last more than a minute. They were either killed instantly or on the way to being killed instantly.

There were even quite a few participating soul masters who sympathized with the Spirit Hall's plight. Before coming to the Spirit Hall, they already knew how terrifying Cheng Xiao was, but the Spirit Hall Academy did not know. So when the Spirit Hall contestants were defeated, these surrendered contestants could not help but gloat over their misfortune.

After easily dealing with the fourth player from Spirit Hall, Cheng Xiao looked at the last three players from the Golden Generation with a calm expression.

Hu Liena looked at Cheng Xiao, who was smiling, with a serious expression. Although she did not fight with him, the invisible sense of oppression from the latter still made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

On the high platform of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong's eyes fell on Cheng Xiao. Her eyes moved slightly, and she thought to herself: "If this continues, he might defeat all the contestants of the Spirit Hall by himself. Is he really just a Spirit King?"

On the other side, in the Shrek audience seats.

"Master, is Cheng Xiao planning to defeat seven enemies alone?" Ma Hongjun's face twitched. "That's a team with three Soul Kings."

"It's hard to say." The master stared at him for a while, shook his head and said, "According to common sense, his soul power should have been consumed a lot, but he didn't show any signs of fatigue. This is enough to prove that the previous opponents didn't even let him exert his full strength."

"However, this is also good. In the team competition this afternoon, our Shrek Academy still has an advantage."

On the competition stage.

Hu Liena showed an extremely charming smile, and a fox tail quietly appeared, and a faint pink fragrance slowly drifted towards Cheng Xiao.

"Nana's charm is a mind-controlling soul skill. Without strong mental power, even a Soul Emperor will be caught in it if he is not careful." Xie Yue stared at Cheng Xiao who was surrounded by pink dance in the field, and thought to himself.

Facing Hu Liena's pink mist, Cheng Xiao did not make any move. Just a glance from him was enough to let Hu Liena know what the gap was.

When the murderous skill was activated, Hu Liena froze in place. She was very confident in her mental strength, but when she met Cheng Xiao's extremely cold eyes, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What, what on earth is this?" Hu Liena was terrified. She didn't even dare to look into Cheng Xiao's eyes. The enchanting soul skill she had activated also lost its effect at this moment. The pink mist that filled the field dissipated with the wind.

"You lose." When Hu Liena raised her head with difficulty, a dagger with blue light was already against her throat. It was Cheng Xiao.

"I..." Hu Liena opened her red lips slightly, wanting to say something, but when she met Cheng Xiao's emotionless eyes, she felt as if all the blood in her body was frozen. She couldn't even feel the soul power circulating in her body. She could only feel cold, extreme cold.

"I surrender."

Without any means of counterattack, Hu Liena had no choice but to admit defeat, but in the eyes of the spectators, it was extremely shocking.

Especially her teacher Bibi Dong. Hu Liena was taught by her and her mental strength has surpassed that of ordinary soul masters. But even so, she still lost, and lost completely!
After Hu Liena stepped down, Yan came on stage.

After Yan came on the field, he didn't say a word. The moment the five spirit rings rose under his feet, he activated his strongest spirit skill.

"The fifth soul skill, Flying Sand Kuangyan!"

Almost instantly, blazing flames began to emerge from Yan's body. His martial soul was that of the Flame Lord, possessing the dual attributes of fire and earth. He could attack and defend.

With the release of the fifth soul skill, Yan's body suddenly grew in size, reaching a height of three meters in less than a moment. The aura of fire emanating from his body was like the arrival of a demon.

"Let me end you!" Yan roared. He wanted to defend the dignity of the Spirit Hall. No matter what, he must defeat the young man in front of him.

He swung his flaming fist towards Cheng Xiao, and the scorching flames raised the temperature of the venue a lot.

Just when Yan's fist was about to touch Cheng Xiao's body, an astonishing scene appeared. Cheng Xiao's body moved quickly, and he dodged Yan's fist as nimbly as a dragon. At the same time, his arm moved quickly, and a swift right hook hit Yan's chin.

boom!
The moment the fist touched the chin, a sharp pain surged up from the chin, and Yan's vision became briefly blurred, but this was not the end. Cheng Xiao activated the "Power of the Dominator." The brutal force directly blew Yan away.

With a "click", Yan fell directly on the competition stage. The intense pain made his head dizzy and his body was completely powerless. It was obvious that the strength of the two was no longer on the same level.

After absorbing two pieces of the king's magic crystals, Cheng Xiao's soul power level has broken through to level seventy-two. Originally, these magic powers would have raised his level even higher, but these magic powers seemed to have consciousness and did not raise his level indefinitely. On the contrary, his body was also tempered by the magic power. At this moment, his speed, strength, physique, and spirit have all been greatly improved.

Getting rid of a Soul King is so easy. Even if a Titled Douluo stands in front of him now, he may not be able to gain any benefit.

"Yan!" Xie Yue was stunned when he saw his good brother being beaten to the point where he didn't even have the strength to fight back. The three of them were equally strong, but now, Yan didn't even have a chance to fight back. Could he win after he went on the court?

At this moment, Bibi Dong on the high platform of the Pope's Palace suddenly stood up. She looked at Cheng Xiao in the field and said in a calm voice, "In the next game, Spirit Hall admits defeat."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent. A bad premonition surged into everyone's mind, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bibi Dong. They were all wondering, were these really the words spoken by the Pope?

Bibi Dong glanced at Xie Yue off the court and continued, "Xie Yue, take Yan down to get treatment. I don't want to see this again in the team match this afternoon."

Xie Yue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Holiness."

…………

The morning's individual competition ended under the control of Cheng Xiao's powerful fighting power. No one expected that the one who would finally admit defeat in this knockout match would be the Spirit Hall Academy. This was the home court of the Spirit Hall, and the game was held in front of the Pope's Palace!
But there are also people who speculate that the Pope may also know that if the fight continues, it will be even more humiliating to be defeated by Cheng Xiao alone with seven opponents, and admitting defeat in advance is just a timely way to stop the loss.

After leaving the last sentence, Bibi Dong looked at Cheng Xiao meaningfully, and then left with the top leaders of the Spirit Hall.

The Pope had already left, and everyone present did not stay for long before leaving the competition venue.

On the way back to the hotel, everyone from the Seven Star Academy had joy on their faces. Although they did not participate in this knockout match, it didn't matter. What was important was that their Seven Star Academy won, and their captain won the game with a crushing advantage.

After returning to his residence, Dugu Bo called everyone to a separate room. He had something to say.

Dugu Bo glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Don't go to the afternoon game. Have a good rest and prepare for the final tomorrow."

Dugu Yan asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, if Cheng Xiao is here, it doesn't matter whether we prepare or not, right?"

Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "You will complete the final tomorrow. Cheng Xiao will not participate."

"Cheng Xiao is not participating?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

Dugu Bo continued, "That's right. Not only will he not participate, he won't give you any help either. Tomorrow's final will depend on you to fight for it. Relying on others blindly is not a good thing for you."

After hearing this, everyone's mood changed slightly. They knew that Dugu Bo was right, but without Cheng Xiao's help, could they still win the championship?

…………

At the same time, Shrek Academy.

"I never thought that the Spirit Hall Academy would choose to admit defeat, and it was the Pope himself who said so." Dai Mubai sighed.

Everyone can see how powerful the Spirit Hall Academy is, but despite this, they had no means of countering Cheng Xiao from the Seven Star Academy. Even the golden generation of the Spirit Hall did not gain any benefits and lost miserably.

"Teacher, I always feel that Cheng Xiao's strength seems to have improved again." Tang San said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Promoted again?" Ma Hongjun shouted in surprise.

“Hmm…” Tang San nodded slightly, helplessly saying: “Didn’t you all notice that his condition was surprisingly good? Facing the golden generation of Spirit Hall, he didn’t even have any extra moves, and almost killed them instantly with one move.”

"I suspect he is hiding his strength. Judging from what he has shown, he is at least at the Soul Emperor level."

"Impossible!" As soon as Tang San finished speaking, the master with a stiff face said: "Xiao San, Cheng Xiao's strength is very strong, but how old is he? A teenager, how can he reach the Soul Emperor?"

"That's a Soul Emperor. The youngest Soul Emperor in the entire continent is your team leader, Teacher Qin Ming. According to what you said, is it possible that he can reach the level of Titled Douluo before he is twenty years old?"

The master's face turned red and he was panting heavily.

He really couldn't figure out how Cheng Xiao cultivated. He had exhausted all his knowledge in his life, but he had never broken through level 30. But Cheng Xiao reached the Soul Emperor level when he was only a teenager. How could this be possible? It was simply nonsense!
"Yes, Xiao San, you must have seen it wrong." Dai Mubai was also unconvinced. He patted Tang San's shoulder and comforted him: "You must be too nervous."

Tang San's mouth twitched, and he said to himself: "I hope so."

The master said: "You must prepare well for the afternoon match. Although the Spirit Hall Academy is strong, it is not invincible."

"Master, don't we have the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique?" Ma Hongjun chuckled and said, "Wait until this afternoon, our Shrek Academy will give Spirit Hall a good beating."

"No." The master's face was solemn, and he said: "The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique puts a heavy load on the body. Xiao San's current physical condition makes it impossible to use it again."

"Ah?" Ma Hongjun drooped. "Can we still win?"

The master said dissatisfiedly: "Ma Hongjun, how can you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Although our Shrek Academy is not as strong as the Spirit Hall Academy, it does not mean that we have no chance."

"The confidence of the Spirit Hall Academy must have been severely damaged in the elimination match this morning. They should be eager to have a fight to relieve this feeling. You should take this opportunity to defeat the Spirit Hall Academy in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun scratched his head awkwardly, sat back on the sofa and said no more, but in his heart, he was also excited about the upcoming game in the afternoon because of the master's words.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready. Xiao San, come with me."

Tang San was stunned for a moment, but still stood up and followed the master out of the room.

After leaving the room, the master turned around, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao San, in the afternoon's game, I allow you to use the poison of the Eight Spider Lances. This is the only way we can win. The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique cannot be used. Your body can't bear it."

Just last night, Grandmaster couldn't stand the torment of his conscience and decided to give up the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. After so many years of getting along with Tang San, he had already regarded Tang San as his own child, so in order for Tang San to go further, he chose to confess, but not completely.

Tang San pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Even if the master didn't say it, he was prepared to do so. The poison of the Eight Spider Lance was indeed a good way to win.

…………

The air was comfortable and pleasant in the morning, but in the afternoon, when the sun was high in the sky, the coolness was replaced by a slight scorching heat.

At this time, both the Spirit Hall Academy and the Shrek Academy had arrived at the square in front of the Pope's Palace, waiting for the Pope to announce the start of the competition.

Many soul masters present had already arrived in their positions. They believed that the match for the last spot in tomorrow's final would be extremely exciting. After all, the Spirit Hall Academy had already lost the match in the morning, and if they lost the match in the afternoon, they would have no chance of winning the championship of this tournament.

The Pope has not arrived yet, but the soul masters in the audience are already excited. The scene in the morning really dropped everyone's jaws. Now the Spirit Hall will certainly fight hard to fight for the last spot, and the more such competitions there are, the more exciting they will be.

"Huh? There are only two people from the Seven Star Academy. Aren't they too arrogant?"

"Arrogant? If you had their strength, you would be more arrogant than them. Didn't you see that the Spirit Hall Academy was defeated by them?"

"Hiss...you're right, I'm too narrow-minded."

Amid the commotion, the cardinals on the jury stood up and shouted, "His Holiness the Pope!"

On the high platform of the Pope's Palace, Pope Bibi Dong slowly walked out from the magnificent gate, followed by Ju Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

Following the appearance of Bibi Dong, there was an overwhelming burst of cheers. The faces of the soul masters present all showed respect for the arrival of the Pope.

Bibi Dong looked down at the two teams on the field, then waved her hand, and the cardinal sitting in the judging panel immediately understood what the Pope meant.

"Both players, please enter!" the cardinal shouted.

"Nana, I hope you won't let me down again in this match." Bibi Dong thought to herself as she watched Hu Liena and the others walk onto the stage. Then, she noticed the only two people in the audience seats of Seven Stars Academy.

"Only two people came, it seems they are very confident." "Brat, that woman Bibi Dong seems to be staring at you." Dugu Bo said expressionlessly through the telepathic line.

"Yeah... I noticed it a long time ago." Cheng Xiao responded lightly. He noticed it when Bibi Dong looked at him.

"So you plan to stay in the Spirit Hall after the game?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly.

"No... I'm going to the Far North." Cheng Xiao replied with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"The Far North? Do you need me to accompany you there?"

"No need, old poison, you can just stay in Tiandou City. I will be back after going to the Far North."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

While the two were talking, the competition on the ring began.

In the spacious venue, the battle between the two groups was about to break out.

Tang San's right hand flashed with black light, and six thick blue silver grasses wrapped around the waists of his six teammates to protect them.

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!" Dai Mubai stood at the front, his soul power condensed in his throat, and a white light bullet suddenly shot out.

Ma Hongjun behind him soared into the sky, and the wings growing from his back emitted high-temperature flames. A strong evil fire swept directly towards everyone in the Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena looked coldly at the Shrek people who launched the attack. The fifth soul ring on her body flashed very regularly, first the black fifth soul ring, then the fourth, third, second, until finally the yellow first soul ring. With each soul ring fluctuating, the red light on her body would become stronger.

Xie Yue, who was standing behind her, also moved at this time. He held not one but two moon blades in his hand. Both of them were blood red and looked like crescent moons. He held his hands in the middle of each moon blade. At this time, as his body moved, his hands stretched out, and he actually rushed towards his sister from behind.

At this moment, two golden lights shot out from the scepter in the hands of the auxiliary soul master of the Wuhun Hall Academy team at the same time. The golden light shone and quickly merged into the bodies of Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

The other two or three soul masters followed Yan and quickly stepped forward, using their soul skills to block the attacks from the Shrek group.

At this moment, a red light curtain suddenly appeared and spread. At the moment when Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies collided, the red light wrapped their bodies together.

At the same time, the red light also exploded instantly, like the spread of a ball of light, covering an area of ​​nearly half of the venue.

The Shrek Seven Devils were completely covered. With the help of their teammates, Xie Yue and Hu Liena launched the soul fusion skill, Demon Charm.

After entering the pink area, Shrek felt strangely that his body had become heavier, his perception became dull, and his movements seemed to be hindered by an invisible barrier, becoming much more difficult.

"Everyone be careful!" Tang San shouted, his eyes emitting purple light.

"Ah!" Just as Tang San was warning everyone, a scream was heard.

Tang San was shocked, he had miscalculated, the Spirit Hall's goal was not to get rid of him first, but to get rid of his teammates first!
In fact, Tang San didn't know that Xie Yue's original target was indeed him, but after the elimination round, they changed their strategy and decided to get rid of the weak ones first and then the strongest ones together. This was the best way they could think of.

But clearly, they were right to do so.

In less than a moment, Xie Yue and Hu Liena, using their martial soul fusion skills, cut off the blue silver grass that was wrapped around the other six Shrek monsters.

They had thought of a solution when they released the spirit fusion technique. Since Tang San used blue silver grass to protect his teammates, they would cut off his blue silver grass.

Even so, Shrek did not give up the resistance. After Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing ate the big sausages made by Oscar, their speed was briefly increased. Although they were restricted a lot, they were still able to move.

So, when the demon attacked Xiao Wu, a layer of golden barrier blocked his attack.

"Found you." Xiao Wu's eyes flashed, and her teleportation skill was activated instantly. She kicked out with her long legs and kicked the demon in the chest fiercely.

With a muffled groan, the demon took a few steps back, but before he could adjust his posture, he felt a pain in his neck. He looked up and saw a ghostly woman with long hair like a waterfall appearing above his head. It was Zhu Zhuqing.

The demon was slightly startled, and the moon blade in his hand swept out quickly. Almost in an instant, Xiao Wu's pink figure appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing. The golden barrier appeared again, and the demon's moon blade was directly bounced away.

Just at this moment, Tang San came running over with Eight Spider Lances opened. Thanks to his strange ghost-like steps, the suppression he was under did not seem to be obvious.

As Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing retreated, the battle between Tang San and Yao Mei was about to break out.

Xie Yue's Moon Blade was even more powerful than Tang San had imagined. Every time his tough Eight Spider Lance collided with the Moon Blade, it would leave a mark.

"Tang San, admit defeat, you can't beat me." With a demonic light in his eyes, Xie Yue said coldly: "Full Moon!"

Tang San's pupils suddenly shrank, and four of the eight spider spears quickly inserted into the ground and quickly retreated.

His movements were already fast, but Xie Yue was even faster. His body moved like a whirlwind. In an instant, he and the two moon blades disappeared almost at the same time. What appeared in front of Tang San was only a huge white disc spinning at high speed.

In order to avoid embarrassing the Spirit Hall, Xie Yue used his strongest attack.

In the knockout round in the morning, Spirit Hall had already lost all face, but in the team competition in the afternoon, they would not and could not lose.

At this moment, a sense of frustration arose in Tang San's heart. He clearly felt that this spirit skill was not something he could resist, but he still did not give up, just like he could still stand up after being knocked down countless times.

BlueSilverGrass activated all four skills at the same time, and he tried his best to defeat the opponent in front of him.

At the same time, in the audience outside the stadium.

Cheng Xiao looked at the scene on the field and shook his head. Xie Yue and Hu Liena had already tried their best. If no miracle happened, Shrek would definitely lose.

After the match in the morning, Hu Liena and Xie Yue would definitely not underestimate their opponents, and now, they used their self-created soul skills and were ready to end the battle.

…………

After a while, the pink mist in the field gradually dissipated. Both Shrek and Spirit Hall Academy suffered casualties, but the ones standing to the end were still Xie Yue and Hu Liena from Spirit Hall.

But both of them were injured.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Bibi Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If the Spirit Hall Academy couldn't even make it to the finals, it would be truly shameful.

The Cardinal quickly announced the victory of the match. Hu Liena and Xie Yue were supported and walked off the stage. As for the Shrek Academy, almost all of them lay on the ground. Even the usually confident Tang San looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Shrek Academy rest area.

The master sat in the chair in a daze, as if he had lost all his life. Although the failure of Shrek Academy was within his expectations, he never thought that Shrek Academy would actually be defeated.

He felt a little regretful. If he had used the Seven-in-One, would he have been able to win?
Liu Erlong looked at him and wanted to go forward to comfort him, but she was stopped by Flanders.

"Erlong, let him take it easy." Flanders shook his head and said.

Liu Erlong remained silent, and there seemed to be something more in her eyes when she looked at the master.

"The seven treasures turned out to be Liuli!"

Ning Fengzhi, who was standing on the high platform of the Pope's Palace, raised his hand, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower with only seven soul rings appeared in front of his eyes with a bright light. It then spun a few times, then floated out, and finally quickly grew larger in mid-air. Several rays of light surged out from it and shone on the Shrek Seven.

For Ning Fengzhi, Tang San was still valuable before he got the manufacturing and assembling methods of hidden weapons.

As the healing light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower enveloped the Shrek Seven, their wounds were recovering at an astonishing speed. At this moment, Sword Douluo Chen Xin shifted his gaze to Cheng Xiao in the distance, and seeing him nod at him, he didn't say anything.

"Uncle Jian, what's wrong?" Ning Fengzhi, who was treating the seven Shrek people, withdrew his martial spirit and asked in confusion.

Sword Douluo Chenxin's lips twitched, and Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly, but soon, he returned to his gentle smile.

He didn't expect that Cheng Xiao would actually help a soul beast that transformed into a human. No wonder only two people came from the Seven Star Academy. It turned out that they had a purpose.

However, Ning Fengzhi was also willing to give Cheng Xiao some face, because his daughter had benefited from others.

At the same time, Bibi Dong on the high platform of the Pope's Palace frowned. She looked at Cheng Xiao meaningfully. With her strength, she naturally sensed Cheng Xiao's little movements, but she didn't understand why the latter would help a human who was transformed from a soul beast.

Not only Bibi Dong, but also Ju Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei behind her noticed a fleeting aura, so their eyes almost all fell on Xiao Wu, but soon, Ju Douluo noticed the change in the aura. He was startled at first, but then he reacted.

This brat actually wants to protect this transformed soul beast!

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I disappoint you." With the help of Qin Ming, Tang San came to the master.

Hearing this, the master's body trembled violently. He looked at the exhausted Tang San and knew that his disciple had tried his best, but why? The feeling of extreme disappointment still surged in his heart and refused to dissipate for a long time.

"Xiao...Xiao San." The master patted Tang San's shoulder with shaking hands. After a long silence, he slowly said: "Just do your best, just do your best..."

Looking at the extremely disappointed look in Master's eyes, Tang San felt extremely uncomfortable, but things had come to this point and he could not change anything, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

At this moment, Pope Bibi Dong's voice resounded throughout the venue.

"Since the competition is over, two elders, capture Tang San for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Shrek Academy was shocked. Tang San almost subconsciously turned around and looked at Bibi Dong in shock.

"Bibi Dong, what do you mean by this!" Hearing that Bibi Dong wanted to arrest his disciple, the master asked angrily: "What rights do you have to arrest my disciple? I am also an elder of the Spirit Hall, you must give me a reasonable explanation." As he said that, the master strode forward, came to the front of the people of Shrek Academy, and took out the token that Tang Hao gave him.

"Why can't we arrest him?" Bibi Dong sneered, "Tang Hao and my Spirit Hall have an irreconcilable feud, and the previous pope died under the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San is Tang Hao's son, so why shouldn't I arrest him?"

"Elder Yu, do you think that the Spirit Hall will allow a spirit master who has a blood feud with the Spirit Hall to grow up?"

"You!" The master was speechless. He knew the relationship between Tang Hao and Spirit Hall, but he didn't expect that Bibi Dong not only said it to his face, but also tore her face off. Was she going to go to war with the Haotian Sect outright?

Xiao Wu was standing in Shrek Academy, looking at this scene in surprise. Just now, she thought her identity had been exposed, but now it seemed that something was not right about the plot?

She was already prepared for what would happen after her identity was exposed, but the sudden reversal made her brain a little confused.

"Well, now that you know the reason, get out of the way!" Bibi Dong shouted coldly, "Everyone in the Spirit Hall, listen up, capture Tang San, and kill anyone who stands in your way!"

“Bibi Dong, how dare you!” The master took a step forward and stared at Bibi Dong. His breathing became heavy and he said angrily, “If you dare to arrest my disciple, I will smash my head and die in front of the door of the Pope’s Palace. If you don’t believe me, you can try it!”

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!

The scene of capturing Tang San had already surprised everyone, and what the master said made everyone even more surprised.

"Yu, Xiao, Gang!" She shouted the name almost with gritted teeth. The powerful aura emanating from Bibi Dong almost condensed into a tangible murderous intent. The person she loved most was actually threatening her for her enemy. How could she bear this?

If it weren't for the old friendship, this murderous intent alone would be enough to kill the master.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, her eyes became extremely sharp, "Everyone in the Spirit Hall, listen up, capture Tang Hao's son Tang San, and anyone who stands in the way will be locked up in the Spirit Hall prison!" (End of this chapter)
