Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"When our minds are united, the Dragon God descends."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena's figures simultaneously became illusory, gradually decomposing into a large number of gold and silver particles. These gold and silver particles intertwined and merged in the air, and a powerful pressure spread out.

A man dressed in magnificent attire appeared, his clothes embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns that shimmered with a faint golden light. His face was cold and noble, and his majestic dragon eyes made people dare not look directly at him. His long hair was as smooth as silk, and it shone with a dazzling halo under the light. His figure was upright, exuding an innate kingly aura.

After the man appeared, the entire arena was enveloped by his aura. He slightly raised his hand, and a dazzling dragon of light flew out from his palm, roaring towards the Holy Spirit Sect members.

Wherever the light dragon passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting bursts of explosions. Just as Lu Genggeng's enormous abomination body tried to resist, the light dragon cut through his body like a sharp blade slicing through tofu, leaving a huge hole in him. The dark green soul power fluctuations instantly became chaotic.

Even the skeleton king transformed from Tang Dynasty was not spared. The power of the light dragon shattered his dark golden bones, and the skeleton formed by soul power turned into dust and scattered under the light.

Yan Feng's expression changed drastically. He used all his soul skills to form a barrier in front of him with his icy blue soul power, but in front of the light dragon, the barrier was as thin as paper and shattered instantly. The light dragon crashed into him, and the dragon scales on his body peeled off one by one. He spat out blood and fell to the ground like a meteor.

Gu Yu stared wide-eyed in horror, the purple light at the tip of his bone staff flashing rapidly as he tried to unleash a stronger defense. But before he could make a move, the residual force of the light dragon arrived, sending him flying. The bone staff flew out of his hand, and the flames on the silver-gray skull went out.

The Soul Masters responsible for maintaining the protective shield felt the pressure increase dramatically. The Light Dragon shattered the Soul Guidance Protective Shield in an instant. What kind of power was this? Could it be that the one competing was a Title Douluo?

Zheng Zhan, the referee, was completely dumbfounded.

On the platform, the mysterious Imperial Advisor, Ju Zi, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, and all the imperial ministers except Xu Tianran had stood up.

Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with shock and anger, and the ministers of the Sun Moon Empire were also speechless at the sight.

One move, just one move, instantly killed three Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint.

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena, who had transformed into dragon gods, slowly lowered their arms. Their powerful aura gradually subsided, but the lingering force still caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

The arena was deathly silent. The audience seemed to have been ripped out of their souls by this astonishing scene. Only after a long while did they erupt in gasps and discussions.

The remaining spies of the Holy Spirit Sect looked terrified. They never expected that their powerful force would be so easily defeated by these two.

Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, also stared in shock at the man in the center of the arena. He sighed inwardly that such strength far exceeded his imagination. The man turned his head slightly, and his majestic gaze fell on Xu Tianran on the podium. Xu Tianran couldn't help but shiver, as if he were being stared at by an invincible ferocious beast.

In the audience, a tall old man wearing a straw hat exclaimed sincerely, "Shrek is Shrek after all!" A faint green light flashed in his eyes.

In the team battle between Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Sect, four members of the Holy Spirit Sect appeared, all of whom died in battle, resulting in a complete wipeout!

On the platform, the mysterious Grand Preceptor stood there, his hands clenched tightly inside his sleeves. An extremely unstable and dangerous aura emanated from him, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

With a single step, Jing Hongchen stood in front of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, protecting him and Ju Zi behind him. A layer of fiery red light had already shone on Jing Hongchen's chest.

Although Jing Hongchen had never fought this mysterious imperial advisor, he knew how terrifying the man was. If he were to go berserk, this platform would likely turn into a living hell.

Jing Hongchen wasn't the only one who sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the mysterious national advisor; seven or eight figures swiftly arrived in front of Xu Tianran, surrounding him completely.

Beside the mysterious Grand Preceptor stood a woman shrouded in black robes. "Master, calm down."

The mysterious imperial advisor's dangerous aura slowly dissipated, and an extremely cold voice came from beneath the cloak: "So this is Shrek! How dare they kill my disciple. I will make them taste the agony of their souls being burned and their skin being peeled off and their bones being eroded."

"Grand Preceptor, please calm down. I promise you, these people will be handed over to you for you to deal with." Xu Tianran had recovered from his brief shock and spoke to the Grand Preceptor across the guards protecting him.

"Your Highness need not trouble yourself. Our church will send people to capture these little creatures." After saying this, the mysterious Grand Preceptor turned and took a step, already outside the platform. His body flashed in the air, transforming into a streak of black light and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The woman who had previously advised him, shrouded in black robes, said to Xu Tianran, "Your Highness, the Imperial Preceptor's disciple died in battle. Please understand his feelings. If there has been any disrespect, I apologize on his behalf."

"It's alright," Xu Tianran said with a smile, as if he really didn't mind.

The woman in black robes nodded to Xu Tianran, then leaped into the air. Her body transformed into a streak of black light, chasing after the mysterious imperial advisor.

Jing Hongchen's expression turned somewhat grim as he said, "Your Highness, these people from the Holy Spirit Sect are far too arrogant. They even dared to..."

Xu Tianran's face turned cold, and he said, "Master of the Red Dust Hall, watch your words."

Jing Hongchen was slightly taken aback, snorted angrily, but did not continue. He knew a little about the Holy Spirit Sect and knew that there were some particularly powerful beings in the Holy Spirit Sect, whom even the Mingde Hall could not afford to offend, given its status in the Sun and Moon Empire.

On the competition stage, the golden figure finally landed slowly, his extremely imposing gaze sweeping across the entire arena, as if declaring to everyone that he was inviolable.

"I have won," the man declared, his voice booming like a great bell, echoing in everyone's ears. His voice carried an undeniable authority, leaving the crowd, who had just recovered from their shock, deeply stunned once again.

Inside the Holy Spirit Sect's rest area, the mysterious woman in black slightly raised her head. A chilling, scorching aura emanated from her, and within this chilling aura lay boundless killing intent.

In the audience area, a faint smile appeared on an aged face as he muttered to himself, "Old Mu, you were truly farsighted..."

The match ended with Shrek Academy defeating the Holy Spirit Sect team composed of evil soul masters and proudly advancing to the semi-finals. The semi-finalists were: Shrek Academy, Tianlong Sect, Snow Demon Sect, and Tang Sect.

On the platform, Crown Prince Xu Tianran did not leave as usual after the competition ended. Instead, he sat there, his face as still as water, for a full quarter of an hour before raising his hand to signal. Ju Zi pushed him off the platform, and they left surrounded by numerous attendants and guards.

"Ju Zi, that match just now really moved me!" Xu Tianran exclaimed.

"We have indeed fallen behind in the cultivation of the younger generation. Shrek Academy truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful and long-established institution. If it weren't for the existence of soul tools, our Sun Moon Empire might not have had the chance to dominate the continent even after ten thousand years. Today's battle has taught me many things. In the past, I was indeed too arrogant."

Ju Zi sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, you will surely become a wise and enlightened ruler of our Sun Moon Empire in the future."

Xu Tianran smiled slightly, patted her hand, and said, "I don't care about being a wise ruler. What I care about is the process, the process of expanding territory, and the process of reaching the top. My life is to strive to trample the entire Douluo Continent under my feet. No matter who wins this competition, these outstanding young people will only have two choices—either submit or die."

Orange felt a slight tremor in her heart, gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

The Tang Clan members returned to the hotel, not even bothering to analyze the day's gains and losses, and immediately went to their rooms to rest. Meanwhile, Bei Bei went to the lobby of the Mingyue Hotel, where someone was waiting for him.

Beibei and Ye Qi'an, who had been waiting for her, sat facing each other.

Ye Qi'an reached for the wine glass in front of him, took a small sip, and then tossed a soul tool to Bei Bei.

Beibei reached out and caught the soul tool device, looking at Ye Qi'an with a puzzled expression.

Ye Qi'an narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tang Ya has been placed in the space I created. She is currently safe and sound. Her evil energy has been purified, and her life is not in danger. This device is for opening that space. When to open it is entirely up to you. You should know that the Sun Moon Empire is not safe."

Beibei gripped the soul tool tightly, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes. "Thank you. I will definitely decide carefully when to open this space."

……

In the past few days, the atmosphere in Mingdu has been heating up. The All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is about to enter the semi-finals, and the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition, hosted by the three underground forces that allow betting, is also about to hold its three-way finals.

All the teahouses and taverns were discussing the competitions. It was clear that the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition was more attractive, and the underground competitions that allowed people to participate in betting were equally irresistible. It could be said that the three major forces made a fortune through these underground betting competitions, and it was unknown how much benefit they had obtained from the tens of millions of people who had flowed into Mingdu.

The matchups for the semifinals of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament have been released.

In the morning, Tianlongmen faced Shrek Academy, and in the afternoon, Tangmen faced Xuemozong. These were two highly anticipated matches. In the morning, dragons faced dragons—who was stronger? In reality, there was no comparison at all. After Ye Qian and Gu Yuena took to the stage and instantly killed the Holy Spirit Sect, the balance of power was already clear.

Everyone was looking forward to the showdown between Tianlongmen and Shrek Academy. Although the disciples of Tianlongmen felt immense pressure, they were also determined to prove themselves.

The semi-finals of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition began in this atmosphere. The weather was gloomy today, with thick, low-hanging clouds that made it hard to breathe, and it looked like it could rain at any moment.

Normally, in this kind of weather, most people would not choose to go out unless necessary, but today is different. Early in the morning, the entire city of Mingdu became lively, with huge crowds heading straight to the suburbs.

The Sun Moon Empire's army, responsible for maintaining order, began at dawn, starting from the competition venue to prevent stampedes. Today, the number of spectators has reached the peak of this competition, with a dense, overwhelming crowd stretching as far as the eye can see.

The four teams entered the arena one after another. Having come this far, they had all experienced many matches. Reaching the top four in this tournament was already an extremely high honor for them. Ultimately, only one team could win the championship. Who would be the final victor? No one had considered that question yet. The most important thing was who would advance from today's matches.

The Shrek Academy and Tang Sect teams finally sat down together. Shrek Academy still didn't have any team leaders, and everyone's expressions were very serious. The four people sitting at the front were Zhang Lexuan, Ye Qi'an, Gu Yuena, and Ye Xiyao.

The competition stage has been repaired and restored to its original bright and shiny appearance. In preparation for the semi-finals, not only was the surface of the competition stage recast and the steel plates thickened, but even the soul guide shield responsible for defense was rearranged, just in case the soul guide shield was damaged again during the competition.

On the platform, Crown Prince Xu Tianran had already arrived, accompanied by civil and military officials. Xu Tianran looked very relaxed today, with a smile on his face. It was just past noon, and although the weather was bad, it did not affect his mood.

Just then, Yu Tianlong, who was sitting at the front of the Tianlong Sect, stood up and strode towards Ye Qi'an, stopping three meters away from him.

"Ye Qi'an." Looking at the two women beside Ye Qi'an, Yu Tianlong's eyes shone brightly. Although he called Ye Qi'an's name, he did not look at him.

Yu Tianlong was confident in his incredible strength, but when he got really close, his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

"What is it?" The cold words came out of Ye Qi'an's mouth.

Yu Tianlong said in a deep voice, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What are we betting on?" Ye Qi'an asked coldly.

Yu Tianlong said, "I will participate in the first round of the individual elimination tournament, hoping to have a showdown with you. If I lose, I will join your Shrek Academy; if you lose, the three of you will join our Heavenly Dragon Sect. Are you willing to bet?"

Ye Qi'an's lips curled into a sneer: "Commendable courage, but you're not worthy."

"What did you say?" Not far away, the members of the Heavenly Dragon Sect stood up one by one, their faces filled with anger.

Yu Tianlong raised his hand to suppress the anger of his fellow disciples, and said in a deep voice, "Are you afraid?"

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Putting aside whether I took the previous matches seriously or not, let me tell you the truth, there is no one here who can beat me." Ye Qi'an's words were full of domineering power, and his eyes were full of confidence and pride.

Yu Tianlong's expression darkened, but he had to admit that Ye Qi'an was indeed very powerful.
