Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 154 Moon's Decision

"Calm down!" Just as Xuanzi was about to act impulsively, a calm voice quietly sounded behind him.

Upon hearing this voice, Xuanzi's body stiffened abruptly. He was all too familiar with this voice; he had heard it countless times over the past hundred years, so how could he not be familiar with it?

"Elder Mu, you're here too! Xiao Tao, she's here!" Xuan Zi's face lit up with joy. With Elder Mu here, even Snow Moon Douluo would have to give Shrek Academy a reasonable explanation.

However, when he turned around and saw Moon's condition, the joy on his face vanished instantly, replaced by deep disappointment.

It turned out that what came was not Mu En's true form, but an avatar formed from the energy of the Golden Tree.

Although this clone can unleash the immense power of a Limit Douluo, it can only maintain this power for a very short time and is simply not able to sustain a battle for an extended period.

The illusory figure of Mu En, radiating a soft golden light, said calmly, "Don't worry, Xiao Tao is not dead."

The details that Xuanzi failed to notice, Mu En saw clearly.

Ma Xiaotao was not in any immediate danger. The spear that pierced her body was not meant to kill her, but rather was intentionally done by Lu Jingming to stop Ma Xiaotao from continuing to fight recklessly, so as to prevent her from excessively burning her life force.

In fact, this shot actually saved Ma Xiaotao.

Otherwise, Ma Xiaotao, who was already engrossed in her fierce battle with the fireflies, might have continued to burn her life force until she withered away and died.

Moreover, Mu En knew in his heart that Lu Jingming had no reason to kill Ma Xiaotao in front of everyone.

After all, there was no deep-seated hatred between Ma Xiaotao and Lu Jingming. On the contrary, their relationship, while not exactly close, was not bad either.

As Moon had predicted, the Black Abyss White Flower was now dominated by the power of the White Flower.

As Lu Jingming slowly pulled the spear from Ma Xiaotao's chest, an astonishing scene unfolded: the wound on her chest healed instantly, as if she had never been injured at all, with no trace of the wound visible.

However, her soul power was completely eliminated, and she lost all ability to resist, collapsing limply to the ground.

Under the special state of self-fusion martial soul skill, as long as Lu Jingming does not want to take a person's life, he has the ability to save the other person's life even if the injury is very serious.

Just like Ma Xiaotao, even if her heart is pierced, Lu Jingming can ensure her safety with the power of the white flower's creation.

"I almost thought you really killed her!"

Gu Yue was also startled, but she was quick-witted and soon recovered.

Lu Jingming wields both the power of destruction and creation; the holy spear that is fused together is not meant for killing.

“Ah Ming wouldn’t bear to part with her, right!” March 7th skipped over and looked curiously at the unconscious Ma Xiaotao.

His gaze fell on Ma Xiaotao's impressive figure, especially the eye-catching large breasts, which made her lips twitch slightly.

She had only ever seen such an enviable figure on Chang Li; she had never seen it on anyone else.

Whether it's her, Jin Xiyi, or Zhang Lexuan, they all have to admit defeat when faced with Ma Xiaotao's figure.

At this moment, the entire arena presents a completely different scene.

The team members from St. Freya Academy stood tall and straight on the field, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

In stark contrast, the Shrek Academy team members lay sprawled on the ground.

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was out of danger, Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he then let out a heavy sigh; Shrek Academy had ultimately lost this match.

Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong all fell into a coma, while Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen also lost the ability to continue fighting.

It can be said that Shrek Academy's main team members were almost completely wiped out.

Even though the rules for the upcoming individual elimination rounds allow for substitutions, Shrek Academy only has a few members left: He Caitou, Xiaoxiao, Jiang Nannan, and Xixi. Facing the powerful St. Freya Academy, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock, with no chance of winning.

Therefore, the situation in this highly anticipated continent-wide advanced soul master academy battle tournament is already clear.

Shrek Academy suffered heavy losses in the team battle and was unable to fight any longer. The outcome of this match was decided in one game, and there would be no second or third game.

Although Wang Yan was filled with resentment, reality was right in front of him, leaving him no other choice.

Continuing to persist would only lead to further humiliation, so he reluctantly chose to give up the rest of the competition.

As the coach leading the Shrek Academy team, Wang Yan is qualified to forfeit the competition on behalf of the team members.

Wang Yan, representing Shrek Academy, approached Dan Heng and chose to concede defeat.

Faced with this result, Dan Heng remained calm and then announced to the entire audience in a steady voice: "Because Shrek Academy has forfeited the individual elimination rounds, St. Freya Academy has won the final of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament!"

Dan Heng's voice was clearly transmitted to every corner of Haiyuan City through the amplified soul guide.

The moment the audience heard the news, they were all stunned, their brains seemingly stopping for a brief moment.

But soon they realized what was happening, and then a deafening roar of cheers filled the sky.

The audience didn't blame Shrek Academy too much for choosing to surrender without a fight. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that after the fierce team battle just now, the Shrek Academy members had exhausted their physical and spiritual power and lost the ability to continue fighting.

Moreover, St. Freya Academy is a formidable force, having overcome numerous challenges and carrying the glory of the previous champion. Their victory this time is well-deserved.

People reacted differently to Shrek Academy's defeat.

Some people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. In their view, the once glorious Shrek Academy seemed to have declined, and the glorious era of Shrek Academy may have been completely over.

Others, however, were secretly pleased.

Among them, the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were like this. They had always regarded Shrek Academy as their nemesis, and now that Shrek Academy had been defeated, they were naturally delighted. Even though they had also lost to St. Freya Academy, they still hoped that St. Freya Academy would win, rather than Shrek Academy.

Xu Jiawei, too, was all smiles, feeling quite satisfied.

After all, the championship once again went to the Star Luo Empire, which is undoubtedly a great thing for the Star Luo Empire. It can not only enhance the empire's reputation, but also strengthen the cohesion of the people to a certain extent.

"Elder Mu, we've lost again. It's all my fault!" Xuanzi stood to the side, his expression extremely gloomy, his face filled with self-blame and guilt.

His eyes revealed deep regret. If he had been more cautious and less careless, he wouldn't have caused the three outstanding students, Yao Haoxuan, Gongyang Mo, and Chen Zifeng, to suffer such misfortune.

It was precisely because of their absence that Shrek Academy's strength was greatly reduced, which is why they lost the game so easily.

Moon shook his head slightly, his eyes showing both disappointment and helplessness.

He didn't really care much about winning or losing the competition; in his heart, the inheritance of the academy and the cultivation of talent were the most important things.

However, Xuanzi made repeated mistakes, causing the academy to lose many outstanding disciples, which made him feel very distressed.

However, Shrek Academy is currently suffering from a shortage of talent, and apart from Xuanzi, he really can't find a more suitable successor.

Shrek Academy is currently in a difficult period of transition, with the Sea God Pavilion filled with older generation powerhouses, while Yan Shaozhe and others have failed to shoulder the responsibility and are not up to the task.

Left with no other choice, Mu En could only place his hopes on Ma Xiaotao and the others.

Ma Xiaotao possesses exceptional talent and a powerful martial spirit, making her a promising talent. However, her personality is too fiery and impulsive. Just like in this competition, she recklessly used a power she couldn't fully control, almost causing a major disaster.

If it weren't for her opponent's kindness, she would probably have ruined herself. With such a personality, she is really not a suitable candidate to serve as the head of the Sea God Pavilion.

After much deliberation, Mu En finally focused his attention on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao possesses twin martial souls, one of which is the extremely rare ultimate ice martial soul.

What's even more remarkable is that Huo Yuhao is calm and composed, able to remain rational in the face of various difficulties. In Mu En's view, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the leader of the Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En had made up his mind and planned to formally accept Huo Yuhao as his personal disciple after returning to the academy.

He planned to use the life force of the Golden Tree to help Huo Yuhao repair the damage to his body.

With Huo Yuhao's talent and potential, he is absolutely worth the resources Shrek Academy would invest in nurturing.

As long as Xuanzi can hold on until Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and other young talents grow up, then he won't need to worry too much about the future of Shrek Academy.

As for himself, he was well aware of his physical condition. He couldn't hold on for more than a few years, and those few years wouldn't be enough for Huo Yuhao and the others to grow up.

Although the competition has ended, the lively atmosphere at the Eye of the Abyss has not dissipated.

The audience was still captivated by the excitement of the match and lingered long afterward.

This lively scene lasted for several hours until the city guards began to clear the area in an orderly manner. Only then did the audience reluctantly get up, board the ships, and slowly leave the Eye of the Abyss.

Meanwhile, the teams from various academies who stayed to watch the game packed their bags and embarked on their return journey.

On the eve of the departure of teams from various academies from the Abyss, Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi from Zhengtian Academy sought out Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming was slightly taken aback by the arrival of Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi, but then he showed a friendly smile.

Ye Wuqing spoke first, his words revealing his sincerity: "Lord City Lord, once we return to Zhengtian Academy and complete our graduation application, we will immediately come to Haiyuan City to join you."

Clearly, Ye Wuqing had also found out Lu Jingming's true identity: not only was he the captain of the St. Freya Academy team, but he was also the city lord of Haiyuan City and the current Earl of Haiyuan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingming smiled faintly. He knew that Ye Wuqing would not refuse his invitation. After all, Zhengtian Academy had limited resources and not many strong individuals. If Ye Wuqing wanted to become stronger, he could only seek to join other forces, and Haiyuan City was undoubtedly a suitable place.

After all, Haiyuan City is top-tier in terms of both strong individuals and resources. Coupled with its thirst for talent, Ye Wuqing had no reason to refuse Lu Jingming's personal invitation.

As for Yu Mengdi, she wasn't simply after cultivation resources and guidance from powerful figures; she was doing it more for Ye Guyi, or more accurately, for her dream.

She is a descendant of the Angel Legion, but her family has declined, so she wants to work with Ye Guyi to rebuild the Angel family and restore the glory of the angels.

Lu Jingming can meet the needs of both of them. He also wants to rebuild the Angel Family. I think Ye Guyi would be interested in doing so as well.

Although the Soul Master Competition has ended and most of the spectators and academies have left Haiyuan City, some people still choose to stay, so Haiyuan City is still very lively.
