Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 142 The Elite Battle Soul Hammer is Nothing More Than This!

On the other hand, someone with such talent could simply join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School directly, so why would they choose to join the Seven Treasure Academy and take a roundabout route?

The conditions offered by Ning Fengzhi were entirely reasonable.

After all, if one's talent is inferior to that of Wu Qi and others, what kind of nonsense is it to think of replacing them?
Although a small number of people continued to protest afterward, it ultimately did not gain any real impact.

The moment the members of the Qibao team returned, they were approached by Xia Changhe, the first vice dean.

"Old Xia, you're here too?" Sun Buyu was both surprised and delighted.

Xia Changhe was originally the Dean of Students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and his strength was at the peak of the Soul Saint level.

Due to his poor background, he was never able to join the Education Committee. Later, due to a major reshuffle in Xuexing, he was eventually recruited by Qibao Academy.

Although his strength is not great, his ability to handle affairs is exceptional; otherwise, he would not have been given this position.

"You're in trouble."

Xia Changhe's words were concise and clear, just like his style of doing things.

"To avoid gossip and interference from other forces, the sect leader has decided to hold a selection tournament for team substitutes after you return."

The Soul Master Competition has an exceptionally complex schedule and spans a long period of time.

To avoid situations where key players are unable to participate due to unforeseen circumstances, and to ensure the team's normal participation, substitute players must step in.

Furthermore, having substitute players can also protect the main players and prevent them from revealing their full strength too early.

Wu Qi had already communicated with Feng Xiaotian and the others beforehand, and no one objected to the idea of ​​a substitute.

As for dealing with challenges from other colleges, no one had any objections.

In the world of Soul Masters, everything is based on strength; those who lack strength have no face to remain in the team.

Of course, support-type Soul Masters are not included.

After all, on the mainland, no one dares to say that there is a support-type martial soul that can surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, let alone the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

The selection process for control-type Soul Masters is relatively complicated. Individual strength is only one aspect; the evaluation of the effects of control-type Soul Skills is the most important reference.

A month ago was the start of the new school year for universities in mainland China. With the expansion of Qibao College's enrollment, there are now 300 students.

This selection process is expected to take some time.

After explaining the situation, Xia Changhe carefully considered everyone's opinions. Seeing that there were no objections, he quickly left.

"Old Xia is really decisive and efficient," Sun Buyu chuckled dryly.

As he spoke, he turned to face the crowd and said, "The selection competition is a valuable experience for you all, so please take it seriously."

"Although we should all have a few days off after returning from our training, we have to make do with what we have to do in this emergency. Please bear with us."

"Training can be suspended for the next few days, and everyone can use the extra time to rest."

After saying that, he cast a questioning glance at Wu Qi.

Wu Qi smiled and said, "Everyone should do as Teacher Sun said. Also, let's postpone the Soul Battle tonight and get some rest."

Wu Qi was not overly obsessed with obtaining the badges from the Great Soul Arena.

He and Qian Gu Chang Kong have obtained the Golden Battle Soul Badge and have completed the training requirements of the Hall of Worship.

……

Sunset Forest.

The battle between Dugu Bo and Tang Hao intensified.

Dugu Bo used his ranged attack capabilities to constantly harass Tang Hao, causing the latter great distress.

Similarly, Tang Hao will not hold a grudge against Dugu Bo once he gets close.

Both of them were injured, but Dugu Bo, who was in better physical condition, was less injured.

He deliberately created an opening, making Tang Hao think he had a chance to get close. In an instant, Dugu Bo's eighth spirit ring shone, "Eighth Spirit Skill, Time Freeze."

The Azure Phosphorous Serpent King spat out its inner core, and everything around it instantly froze.

At such close range, Tang Hao was unable to react.

There was a one-level difference in their soul power levels, so Dugu Bo couldn't control his opponent for long.

But in such a high-level duel, victory or defeat can often be decided in a single moment.

Dugu Bo immediately followed up with his attack, unleashing a large amount of venom from his Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul, which landed on Tang Hao's body, instantly dissolving his clothes and corroding his skin.

At the same time, the two yellow spirit rings and two purple spirit rings beneath Tang Hao's feet shattered!
The ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Explosion!
A surge of powerful soul energy flowed into his body, allowing him to break free from his restraints and expel the poison from his body.

Already severely injured, using the exploding ring would only worsen his internal injuries, and due to the corrosive effects of the venom, his body was on the verge of collapse.

"Dugu Bo!" Tang Hao roared in fury, his eyes flashing with fury.

Immediately afterwards, his fifth and sixth black spirit rings shattered, and his aura was once again amplified.

Now that things have come to this, only by severely injuring Dugu Bo can we appease his hatred.

Dugu Bo would not sit idly by and wait for his death. He lightly stroked his finger on the soul tool, and a few snow-white swan-kiss leaves fell and drifted in the wind.

Tang Hao didn't care about this; after all, what could a few leaves change?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Dugu Bo spat out venom again, and its power surged the instant it came into contact with the leaves.

Having experienced the power of his venom firsthand, Tang Hao's expression turned solemn, and he dared not underestimate it.

Sensing the sudden change in the venom's power, he had no choice but to abandon his attack and retreat.

Seeing that Dugu Bo still had the intention to make a move, Tang Hao knew that he was going to suffer a loss today no matter what.

His injuries were already severe; if he were to have an even older spirit ring detonated, the immense spirit power would likely kill him on the spot.

With this thought in mind, he uttered a harsh threat, "Dugu Bo, if you dare to reveal the mistress's identity or harm her, even if I, Tang Hao, die, I will drag you and your grandson down with me."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, not even wanting to stay any longer.

Dugu Bo curled his lip, "The 'Top-Tier Battle Soul Hammer' is nothing special!"

He admitted that he had overestimated Tang Hao's strength.

If he were at his peak, he would have struggled against Tang Hao, but unfortunately, Tang Hao was unable to heal him.

This hidden injury will not only affect his strength, but will also accompany him for the rest of his life.

Even Dugu Bo felt some "sympathy" for the other party.

However, Tang Hao was right.

In ordinary battles, the opponent might suffer a loss, but in a life-or-death battle, he is far inferior to Tang Hao.

At least for a long time to come, he won't be able to kill Tang Hao, let alone harm Xiao Wu.

Dugu Bo was not annoyed.

Having mastered the art of poison pills, he still has a future and room for improvement. In contrast, Tang Hao's hidden injuries, triggered earlier, have completely ruined his future potential for advancement.

If one can break through level 96, it is not impossible to kill Tang Hao!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.

However, Dugu Bo was not careless. Before leaving, he cleaned up the battlefield to prevent residual toxins from endangering the safety of passing soul masters and soul beasts.

It wasn't that he had a change of heart, but rather that it was a consensus within the Soul Master community.

If innocent people are harmed, someone will definitely use this as an opportunity to attack him.

The purpose of doing this is to avoid criticism and to plant seeds of trouble for the future.

As for Tang Hao
There was no time to worry about anything else; all I could do was hide away and heal my wounds.
