Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 41 A shady academy? All members are Soul Masters, shocking the entire audience!

The voice of the Snow Night Emperor echoed across the empty royal training ground.

Inviting Jixia Academy to be the champion of the exhibition match?!
This suggestion instantly ignited the atmosphere in the room.

All eyes were focused on the two mysterious and powerful teams from the Jixia Academy in the VIP section.

Especially the members of the Jixia Xiaochu team.

Upon hearing the invitation, their hearts began to pound uncontrollably.

The champion?!
This means being the first to step onto the stage and face challenges from all the other teams.

Although they just lost to the Kings team in an internal scrimmage, that was the Kings team.

They are among the most outstanding individuals within the academy.

However, they have absolute confidence when facing teams from other colleges.

They have always been overshadowed by the glory of the champion team and have never truly experienced standing in the center of the stage, receiving the attention and challenges of the masses.

Now, here's your chance!
Dugu Yan, Long Ling, Xuan Mo... every member of the Xiaochu team had a burning fighting spirit in their eyes.

Their gazes all turned to their team leader, Sima Yi.

Sima Yi felt the burning gazes of his disciples, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

He exchanged a glance with Zhuge Liang beside him, and a knowing look flashed in their eyes.

This opportunity to shine might not be rare for the seasoned veterans of the Kings team, but it's an excellent whetstone for the Xiaochu team, who desperately need to build confidence and gain practical experience.

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, indicating that he had no objections.

Sima Yi then slowly rose, bowed slightly to Emperor Xue Ye on the viewing platform, his voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire hall:
"Thanks to His Majesty's favor, our Jixia Academy will naturally comply."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the group of disciples behind him, their fighting spirit high.

"The title of champion in this exhibition match will be awarded to our Jixia... Xiaochu Team."

Wow.

Sima Yi's words caused another uproar.

Surprisingly, the team wearing crimson gold and black uniforms went first, instead of the team in the seemingly stronger Moon White Star uniforms.

Could it be... this valiant team...?

Many people began to have doubts.

The members of the Jixia Xiaochu team were so excited that they trembled upon hearing their mentor's decision.

"Yes, mentor."

Dugu Yan, representing the entire team, responded in a deep voice, her tone filled with high morale.

Sima Yi nodded in satisfaction and quickly reorganized the team, selecting seven people to defend the title.

In addition to Captain Dugu Yan, main defender Xuan Mo, dual-cultivation Soul Master Long Ling, and the two offensive brothers, he also specially brought along a speed-focused agility-based Soul Master and a ranged interference-focused Soul Master, forming a well-rounded and more adaptable lineup.

"Go."

Sima Yi said calmly.

"Do not tarnish the prestige of Jixia Academy."

"Yes!"

The seven selected members of the Xiaochu team, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, walked with their heads held high and their steps were neat and steady as they stepped onto the central arena, a symbol of glory and challenge.

The team uniforms, featuring a striking combination of red gold and black, shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

Each of them exuded a powerful confidence and... a steely killing intent honed through grueling training.

Watching the Jixia Xiaochu team take the stage first, the other teams from different academies below the arena had various thoughts on their minds.

Those teams that had heard of the prestigious Jixia Academy became cautious at this moment, wanting to observe the true strength of this Xiaochu team first.

Meanwhile, those teams that were unfamiliar with Jixia Academy or who had an inflated sense of self-importance were all eager to try their luck.

A chance to show off in front of Emperor Xueye.

If we could defeat this so-called "champion," it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity to make a name for ourselves. "Hmph, all that charlatanry! It's just some unknown, run-of-the-mill academy. Let's expose them!"

Soon, a team from an obscure academy in a certain province, unable to contain their excitement and greed, was the first to jump onto the stage.

The team's captain was a rather robust-looking young man. He released his martial spirit—a fairly decent bull—and arrogantly shouted at the Jixia Xiaochu team:
"Barak Academy, here to challenge! Those on the other side, state your names!"

However, all he received in response was Dugu Yan's cold gaze.

"Noisy."

Dugu Yan didn't even bother to waste words with them, and simply waved to her teammates behind her.

"Quick victory."

"Yes, Captain!"

next second.

More than twenty spirit rings instantly lit up the seven members of the Jixia Xiaochu team!
Uniform!

Everyone...at least Soul Master!
Moreover, the spirit ring configurations almost all exceed the optimal setup?!

"hiss!!!"

When the Jixia Xiaochu team's terrifying array of spirit rings was seen, the entire training ground instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the more than thirty dazzling halos on the arena, as if frozen in place.

Especially those teams that were originally eager to go on stage and challenge, now felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

My heart sank.

Everyone is at least Soul Master level?!

What... what's the point of fighting?!

The teams of these ordinary advanced soul master academies generally have main members who are only at the level of two-ring great soul masters. Having a few three-ring soul masters is already considered a top-tier configuration.

But the team that Jixia Academy sent to defend the arena was actually composed entirely of Soul Master level members.

What the hell is this monster academy?!
Even Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing on the viewing platform had their pupils shrink slightly.

Although they had long known that Jixia Academy was powerful.

But no one expected that a randomly selected team would have such a terrifying configuration.

This is just the "Xiaochu Team," what about the seemingly stronger "King Team"?

How terrifying must its actual strength be?

As for the first student from Barak College to jump onto the stage and challenge...

When their captain saw the spirit ring on the other side, his arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by boundless fear and despair.

He didn't even have time to utter a word of surrender.

Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorus Snake Venom had already entwined itself around him like a maggot clinging to his bone.

The combined attack of the two powerful brothers was like a tiger descending a mountain.

The agile Soul Master's figure flashed into the back row like a ghost...

Just a few breaths.

The battle... is already over.

The seven members of Barak Academy were swept off the stage like kites with broken strings, barely uttering a few screams.

quiet!
Deathly silence!

The Jixia Xiaochu team merely flashed their spirit rings once, yet they crushed the first challenger with overwhelming force.

Their formidable strength was on full display.

And he successfully... stunned the entire audience.
