Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

The Snow Demon Sect is actually a hidden team within the Body Sect.

Because of the incident of the sneak attack on Mingde Hall a few years ago, although the Body Sect was stubborn and refused to admit it, they knew that they and their opponents were like oil and water.

Therefore, the members of the Body Sect concealed their identities as substitutes for the Snow Demon Sect, and in the previous three elimination rounds, the other members of the Heavenly Soul Empire played.

Under Princess Vina's leadership, the team entered the round-robin stage very smoothly.

This unremarkable team didn't initially receive much attention.

As a result, the Spirit Network exposed the information of the Body Sect members, and everyone noticed the Snow Demon Sect and realized the terrifying strength hidden by this team.

After the round-robin tournament began, these proud guys decided to stop hiding their identities and, while sending out members of the Body Sect, their playing style became noticeably more high-profile and aggressive.

Although there was no spectacular scene of a single player defeating seven opponents, the overwhelming winning streak and the eye-catching original martial soul left a deep impression on the audience.

Everyone now has a general understanding of the team's strength.

With their formidable strength and powerful background, the Snow Demon Sect stood out from the crowd, attracting the attention of the audience and inspiring fear among the participating teams.

With the appearance of Long Aotian, a Soul Saint, even a powerful institution like the Star Luo Royal Academy could not stop his advance.

The Body Sect suddenly became very popular.

Everyone was convinced that the Body Sect was absolutely capable of winning the championship!

Of course, the name "Body Sect" alone is already widely known.

As a powerful force on par with the Sea God Pavilion and the Mingde Hall, the Body Sect, with its long history, certainly has reason to be proud.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Spirit Pagoda in the semi-finals.

If the Body Sect were placed in the upper half of the bracket, it would surely be a thrilling battle, and they might actually make it to the finals.

But no matter how the groups are drawn, the Body Sect can only manage to finish as runner-up at best.

Because the highest mountain, the Spirit Pagoda, is located here.

"Both players, please proceed to the waiting area."

The semi-finals are about to begin.

Even casual spectators without any soul power cultivation could see that the Spirit Pagoda's team was an absolute powerhouse, guaranteed to win.

As long as the instructor leading the Spirit Pagoda doesn't have a relapse, there's no chance of losing!
This is really just a casual game.

But to their surprise, the Spirit Pagoda had another brilliant idea.

The Snow Demon Sect team sent a total of seven people, including Long Aotian and Vina, all of whom were disciples of the Body Sect. They knew that now was not the time to continue to hide their strength, and that they had to go all out.

On the Spirit Pagoda side, seven people also took to the stage.

However, the Soul Saint was not among them.

Di Qiu'er, Xue Ling, and Huo Yuhao were just watching from the rest area.

What are you doing, Spirit Pagoda?!
Still hiding their strength?

But is hiding something other than a train ticket home?

Could it be that the Spirit Pagoda intends to deliberately lose to the Body Sect?
These odds are truly exciting.

Or is this going to be an exhibition match?
All kinds of questions came to my mind.

Let alone the audience, even the Shrek Academy members, who were closely connected with the Shrek Academy, couldn't understand the operation of the Spirit Pagoda at first glance.

Having mastered the Silver-level Second Awakening and the Unity of Heaven and Man, Long Aotian is no ordinary Soul Saint who can only breathe!

However, Beibei and the others noticed the ethereal figure among the seven people in the Spirit Pagoda who seemed untouched by worldly affairs.

They know it’s safe!
It's quite rare to see Gu Yuena leading the team.

Anyone familiar with Gu Yuena's abilities would have no worries about the outcome of this match.

As for the viewers who were completely unaware of this, they inexplicably fell silent after noticing Gu Yuena's figure.

A sense of relief involuntarily arose in my mind.

Because of that stunningly beautiful and otherworldly figure, they were more willing to trust the Spirit Pagoda and believe that it was not making baseless accusations.

Thus, the audience, who had been chanting the name of the Spirit Pagoda and placing high hopes on it, erupted in cheers for its appearance.

Must win!

Feeling the waves of faith power surging from the spiritual network, Huo Yuhao smiled silently in the rest area, like an old farmer watching his wheat grow well, experiencing the joy of a bountiful harvest.

As expected, binding the Spirit Network to the Spirit Transmission Tower is the most suitable choice.

Just like the audience whose emotions are being manipulated by the Spirit Pagoda, the faith power they involuntarily contribute for the Spirit Pagoda's victory far exceeds the efficiency of ordinary believers.

Compared to the Soul Master Competition held once every five years, the diverse applications of the Spirit Network are also a powerful tool for harvesting faith power, and it is even more effective in manipulating emotions.

This is the correct way to get freebies.

We must follow the path of sustainable development.

Even if the power of faith obtained in this way is not so pure, Huo Yuhao is a pragmatist, and as long as it can be used, that's fine.

Anyway, he's not going down the path of faith and becoming a god.

For him, the power of faith was simply a high-level form of energy.

Regardless of what the audience thought, this match between the Spirit Pagoda and the Body Sect was actually just a normal sparring session.

The tension between the two sides wasn't that high, nor was it to the point of being mortal enemies like Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy, where they would never speak to each other again.

On the contrary, because of Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda and the Body Sect can be said to be in an unspeakable ambiguous period.

The Body Sect member said: Can I join the collaboration?
Previously, Du Busi even caused a beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest in order to obtain high-age soul rings. Now, there is a way to form a soul spirit contract, although it seems that there is no way to contract a 100,000-year soul spirit.

But don't forget, the soul can be inherited and evolved!
If the lineage is passed down for ten thousand years, a soul that is a hundred thousand years old is not a pipe dream!

The idea of ​​a 100,000-year-old soul that can be stably passed down is terrifying.

This is extremely important for those who possess a true martial soul!

Even Du Bu Si speculated that if the Soul Spirit were to help, the difficulty of the Body Sect members' second awakening would be significantly lower.

That alone is enough for the Body Sect to make a decision.

Poison cannot kill: If the mountain does not come to me, then I will go to the mountain.

Since Huo Yuhao has no intention of taking over the position of Sect Master of the Body Sect, why don't they just bring their talents to the Spirit Pagoda?
That's what I thought, but as the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire...

Even if you can't be poisoned to death, you still have some shame.

He has already taken Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire as a disciple of the Body Sect, but he cannot abandon the Heavenly Soul Empire after starting something.

Moreover, he knew that he had offended quite a few powerful forces.

Given the current tense situation on the mainland, cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda is inevitable, but the form of cooperation is still under discussion.

On the competition stage.

Zheng Zhan, the head referee, couldn't help but frown.

How could the Spirit Pagoda act so recklessly again? My fragile heart simply can't take this kind of shock.

Why can't we just let Huo Yuhao go on stage and end the game?

That's so simple.

However, the fighting styles of these people from the Spirit Pagoda are all increasingly troublesome.

Qiu'er is incredibly strong, capable of flying bricks, and can even kill her enemies instantly with a single, violent move without using any soul skills. If she were to unleash her full power, even someone with Zheng Zhan's cultivation level would be somewhat terrified.

As for Huo Yuhao.

Although he only appeared once, the strangeness of his methods made Zheng Zhan sweat profusely. Fortunately, that time it was against an evil soul master, so he didn't need to go down to rescue anyone.

As for today's person.

Hmm... Just looking at it makes me think it's going to be very tricky.

I hope the Body Sect is alright. Zheng Zhan was forced to be on high alert at this moment.

He announced loudly, "Next up is the second semi-final of this competition. The two teams are the Snow Demon Sect team and the Spirit Pagoda team. The first match of the individual elimination rounds will begin with the players from both sides taking the stage."

A loud voice was transmitted to the entire arena through soul power.

On the Snow Demon Sect's side, a tall young man stood up, stepped onto the competition stage, and had an unprecedentedly serious expression.

My name is Wang Yanfeng, and I'm very panicked right now.

To be honest, when the captain asked Wang Yanfeng to go on first, his first thought was to give up and surrender.

After all, their opponent is the Spirit Pagoda.

Especially the existence of Huo Yuhao.

It hovered above the members of the Body Sect like a ghost.

Since the last Soul Master Competition, Huo Yuhao's name has often been on Du Busi's lips, making him the "other people's child" that everyone admires.

In the past five years, the mere mention of Huo Yuhao's name has given people PTSD.

This guy was previously recognized as an enemy of the Body Sect.

Huo Yuhao's talent is exceptional.

Extreme Ice is very powerful, and the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is of very high quality.

However, the chosen ones of the Body Sect are not bad either, especially in the combination of combat skills and Body Martial Soul, as well as their proud second awakening teeth!

Long Aotian: I will protect everything of the Body Sect!
Until two days ago, Huo Yuhao's methods of killing and taking away the evil spirit master left everyone in the Body Sect speechless.

This skill is so mysterious that even Yan Feng, a Soul Saint, could only be affected by that spiritual soul skill.

And that unbelievable configuration of seven 100,000-year soul rings.

The existence of a 100,000-year-old soul ring is questionable, but the cultivation level of a Soul Saint is definitely present.

Only a handful of people in this competition have reached the Soul Saint level, and among all the Soul Saints, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the strongest one!
Even someone as powerful as Long Aotian admitted that he was inferior to him.

As a Soul Emperor, Wang Yanfeng naturally chickened out. If he were to face Huo Yuhao, he probably wouldn't even know how he was hit.

Winning or losing doesn't matter, what I can't accept is social death!
Who knows what actions might be taken under Huo Yuhao's mental influence?
Fortunately, the Spirit Pagoda didn't let that freak participate this time.

Remembering Long Aotian and Vina's instructions, Wang Yanfeng subconsciously clenched his fists.

First, absolutely do not act impulsively. Second, they are not called the Snow Demon Sect, they are called the Body Sect! Third, it's all about fairness!
Watching Xiao Xiao lead the way with the Spirit Pagoda, Wang Yanfeng's mind was racing, pondering the information the other party had previously revealed.

This short but beautiful woman is also a Soul Emperor, possessing the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron as her Martial Soul, and a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Spirit.

I absolutely cannot be careless!

We must demonstrate the prowess of the Body Sect.

We can't just let someone else buy it in a flash, can we?
"Both parties inform their names."

"The Spirit Pagoda, Xiao Xiao."

"Snow Demon Sect, Wang Yanfeng."

Xiao Xiao looked at the Snow Demon Sect member who had entered the arena. This person had never been on the field before, so their specific martial soul had not yet been revealed.

However, most Soul Masters have outstanding abilities, and Xiao Xiao plans to deduce the specific type of Martial Soul by observing the other party's physique and build.

Wang Yanfeng was over 1.9 meters tall, with a strong build, neat short hair, and an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were bright and piercing.

As both sides reached their designated positions, they faced each other from a distance.

Xiao Xiao had already noticed Wang Yanfeng's hands, which were noticeably larger than normal, and a guess had formed in her mind.

"Game start!"

With Zheng Zhan's loud shout, Wang Yanfeng was the first to move.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes and moved swiftly, quickly closing the distance between himself and Xiao Xiao.

Soul Masters are generally better at close combat.

Xiao Xiao was happy to see this happen, as she also needed to close the distance to unleash her full fighting power.

Both sides released their martial spirits almost simultaneously.

Wang Yanfeng's aura grew stronger, and two standard yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings rose beneath his feet. Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, had the optimal spirit ring configuration for the Spirit Pagoda: four purple and two black.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron instantly separated, beginning to block movement.

Wang Yanfeng lightly tapped his toes to avoid the landing point of the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and the distance between the two was now less than thirty meters.

He suddenly shouted, leaped forward, landed heavily on both feet, raised his fists high, and slammed them down.

Martial Soul: Hand!
A layer of bronze light enveloped his fists, and the moment they slammed into the ground, a wave of azure energy swept out.

Shockwave!
This move completely caught the audience off guard.

Who would have thought that Wang Yanfeng, who was clearly a melee Soul Master, possessed such powerful ranged attack capabilities without even using any Soul Skills?

His attack was not just pure power and soul skill, but also demonstrated the profound combat techniques of the Body Sect.

Facing the powerful blue airwaves, Xiao Xiao neither dodged nor avoided them.

Unbeknownst to them, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had already formed a three-sided encirclement around Wang Yanfeng.

The third soul skill, Cauldron Control.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, as solid as a rock, stood firm amidst the azure energy waves.

Keen-eyed viewers noticed that Wang Yanfeng had completed this attack on Xiao Xiao without using any soul skills, demonstrating his profound strength.

This is the core tenet of the Body Sect's teachings to its disciples—never use your soul skills lightly.

Disciples of the Body Sect use their bodies as their martial souls, and most of their soul skills amplify the corresponding parts of their bodies. Only by combining these skills with excellent combat techniques can they bring out the greatest advantage of their body martial soul.

This is why the Body Sect's research in combat techniques can be said to be unparalleled on the continent, which is the source of their renowned strength.

They've found a weakness!
Wang Yanfeng took a step forward with his right foot, and as multiple soul skills lit up, his two palms, glowing with a strong bronze light, clenched into fists in front of him and slammed them towards Xiao Xiao.

With his Bronze-level second awakening, he is one of the best among the younger generation of the Body Sect!

One trick is all you need; that's the classic combo of the Body Sect's all-rounder.

Even if the opponent knows this, it is difficult for them to react in time.

Even now, Wang Yanfeng is equipped with an invincible shield for defense. Although the Body Sect is stubborn, it is also progressing with the times.

Faced with such a series of attacks, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, under Xiao Xiao's control, returned to defend, forming a pincer movement to protect her in the center.

While defending, a strong black light shone.

Fourth Soul Skill: Blink.

The sealing of the cauldron!
This is a soul skill that Xiao Xiao obtained from a thousand-year-old soul beast that possessed a slight bloodline of the Xie Zhi. It has the effect of suppressing and sealing enemies.

This effectively trapped Wang Yanfeng, who had closed the distance, in place.

The two were evenly matched in cultivation, and Xiao Xiao was unable to suppress and seal her opponent directly using the Cauldron Seal.

However, Xiao Xiao was able to seal Wang Yanfeng's full strength for at least three seconds, but during this time she herself was also unable to attack.

But it doesn't matter.

There's also the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul!
A massive, dark golden figure appeared beside Xiao Xiao, its left claw slashing down with a force as powerful as a giant axe that could topple heaven and earth.

The moment those five dark golden blades of light appeared out of nowhere, even the audience subconsciously felt a chill run down their spines.

Everyone lit candles for Wang Yanfeng.

Because he was under the suppression of the cauldron's seal, he couldn't do anything.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear: One swipe and it's done for. What's there to say? (End of Chapter)
