Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 235 Shameless Tuoba Xi

The next day, the final match of the Soul Master Tournament officially began.

The match proceeded smoothly without much drama, although both sides appeared to be taking it very seriously and displayed a variety of flashy skills.

But the weaker Soul Masters in the audience felt uneasy no matter how they watched, as if ants were crawling all over them.

Those Soul Emperors and above could see that the Shrek team on the stage wasn't putting in as much effort to win as they had in the previous matches.

Shrek Academy's half-competition, half-performance approach also influenced the Spirit Hall team, making their fighting style somewhat careless.

However, these viewers could understand, since Shrek's team was a whole level weaker than their opponents and had no chance of winning; they could only manage to put up a fight.

And so, after both sides had played to their limits, the Shrek Academy team members began to eliminate opponents one by one, and in the end, the Spirit Hall won the championship of this tournament.

Then Pope Bibi Dong stepped onto the arena, awarded the top three with soul bones, and gave a speech, announcing the complete end of this Advanced Academy Elite Soul Master Competition.

Just as the thousands of soul masters from all over the continent were about to get up and leave, Bai Yu stepped onto the arena, clapped his hands, and transmitted the sound throughout the arena through the wind.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. The Spirit Hall has some matters to announce to the mainland. I'll take this opportunity to convey them directly. Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Yu, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, those who were about to leave all sat back down, their expressions filled with curiosity.

They all wanted to know what kind of trouble this number one power on the continent was up to this time.

After all, the Spirit Hall seems to have become increasingly quiet in recent years. The last time it notified the mainland was more than ten years ago when it appointed the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

But this quiet period made the major powers on the mainland feel uneasy and chilled to the bone.

It's not that all the major powers are cowards who insist on making the Spirit Hall cause trouble, but rather that this sudden silence makes them somewhat uneasy.

After all, when things get going, they can usually figure things out, but their current lukewarm attitude is really baffling.

Seeing that everyone had returned to their positions, Bai Yu smiled and took out a level nine Soul Gathering Seal, using his soul power to make it float in the air above his palm.

"Please take a look, everyone. This item is called the Soul Gathering Seal, and it is a level nine soul tool."

"Among the people present, those who are well-informed should know more or less that the Spirit Hall has revived the lost techniques of soul tools on the continent in recent years."

When Bai Yu finished speaking, many people in the room did not show surprise, but their eyes flickered.

Without exception, all of these people came from famous sects and families on the mainland.

This doesn't mean they all had the ability to plant spies in the Spirit Hall, but rather that wherever there are people, there are social interactions.

The Spirit Hall has a large number of people, including all sorts of individuals. As long as various forces pay a little money, they can obtain information that is not strictly censored.

Take this soul tool, for example. The Spirit Hall will need to use it no matter what, so whether it's leaked or not doesn't matter.

Ignoring the expressions of everyone present, Bai Yu continued, "As for the function of this item, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'll just have someone demonstrate it for you all. Tuoba Xi, Sect Master of the Holy Dragon Sect, come to the arena!"

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, a figure strode onto the arena, then knelt on one knee and solemnly bowed to Bai Yu.

"Your subordinate, Tuoba Xi, greets Your Highness, the Holy Son!"

Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly. This Tuoba Xi, as expected of someone who had already latched onto the Spirit Hall's coattails in the original work, was already a level 90 quasi-titled person. He knelt down so easily, leaving Bai Yu speechless.

"Sect Leader Tuoba, please rise. You haven't officially joined the Spirit Hall yet, so it's inappropriate for you to call me your subordinate!"

"Although I have already informed you in advance, I would like to ask again: Sect Leader Tuoba, would you be willing to demonstrate the function of this Soul Gathering Seal to everyone present?"

After Tuoba Xi stood up, he nodded solemnly to Bai Yu, his eyes burning with desire as he looked at the Soul Gathering Seal in front of him, wishing he could get his hands on it immediately.

"Your Highness, I am willing!"

He was absolutely willing, incredibly willing!

Originally, he only joined the Spirit Hall for two reasons. First, he wanted to see if the Holy Dragon Sect could rise to the top three sects by taking advantage of the Spirit Hall's influence.

Secondly, there's the soul ring you need. High-level dragon-type soul beasts are hard to find, and even if you do find one, you might not be able to defeat it.

Therefore, his second requirement for joining the Spirit Hall was to have the Spirit Hall provide him with a suitable spirit ring.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, this Holy Prince suddenly approached him and asked him to demonstrate the use of a soul tool called the Soul Gathering Seal in public after the Soul Master Competition.

As a reward for joining the Spirit Hall and participating in the demonstration, this Soul Gathering Seal will provide him with a 100,000-year-old dragon-type spirit ring suitable for him.

When this condition was revealed, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. A 100,000-year spirit ring, and it's red! Does Tuoba Xi even deserve to use this thing?
After verifying the effects of the Soul Gathering Seal, Tuoba Xi agreed without hesitation, and thereafter addressed Bai Yu as his subordinate whenever they met.

As for face? How much is that thing worth?
If you were to go out and say that you have a 100,000-year soul ring, and anyone who kneels down and calls you "ancestor" would receive the soul ring, believe it or not, the line of kneeling people would stretch from Spirit City to Heaven Dou City.
Seeing that Tuoba Xi was still calling him "subordinate" repeatedly, Bai Yu clicked his tongue and handed him the Soul Gathering Seal with a hint of helplessness.

It's not that Bai Yu is being pretentious. In the past two years, he has gradually adapted to the rules on the mainland. Kneeling and calling someone "subordinate" is perfectly normal.

That's right. There are just too many people here, and they come from all the major forces on the continent. Tuoba Xi is going to be an elder of the Spirit Hall in the future. Wouldn't this make the Spirit Hall lose face?

However, there was no other way now that things had come to this point. He could only blame himself for not explaining things clearly beforehand. After all, Baiyu hadn't expected that Tuoba Xi's skin could be so thick.

After receiving the Soul Gathering Seal, Tuoba Xi bowed to Bai Yu and then looked around.

He noticed that everyone in the audience was looking at him with disdain and mocking expressions.

As one of the four lower sects, the Holy Dragon Sect is quite famous on the continent. The fact that its sect leader is behaving like this is truly laughable.

Everyone present had already decided that once they got back, they would definitely give the Holy Dragon Sect and Tuoba Xi a good reputation!
