Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 34 Post-Victory Arrangements

While the Shrek team was waiting for tonight's match, staff from the Great Soul Arena suddenly came over and respectfully led them to a room. In the room, not only Grandmaster, but also Flander and Zhao Wuji were invited in as well.

While Dai Mubai and the others were still wondering what was going on, the master explained in detail that Chief Steward Ao of the Great Soul Arena wanted them to defeat the Royal Fighting Team. After the master finished speaking, he spread the information he had obtained from Chief Steward Ao on the table, and everyone immediately surrounded him.

After everyone glanced at the list of information, Dai Mubai handed the information to Li Ye.

Ye Li glanced at the information and frowned, saying, "This Royal Fighting Team is no simple matter. All members have reached level 35, and in terms of martial souls... Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Black Tortoise... and Nine Heart Begonia? This match is going to be a tough one."

The master said calmly, "Pressure is what drives progress, and besides, we're not entirely without a chance of winning."

"If Dugu Yan hadn't been cured of the poison, I would have thought the Shrek team would have won. But this time, Dugu Yan's poison has been controlled and her strength has even increased. The outcome is still uncertain." Ye Li shook his head and thought to himself.

Ning Rongrong asked, "Should we have Fourth Brother make an appearance?"

The master shook his head. "Our level doesn't allow it. The reason the Great Soul Arena wants to invite us to fight is because they're afraid of breaking the rules."

Ma Hongjun said dejectedly, "Then how are we supposed to fight? We still have three Great Soul Masters on our side..."

Ye Li addressed the crowd, saying, "Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus is powerful, it is not invincible. Although these two Xuanwu Turtles are top-tier defensive martial souls, they have no offensive capabilities. As for Dugu Yan, she is skilled in using poison and is a descendant of the Azure Phosphorus Douluo, Dugu Bo."

Tang San was taken aback for a moment, but then his mood calmed down considerably. If it was poison, then he wouldn't be afraid.

Ye Li continued, "Besides that, you should also pay special attention to this Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master. This Martial Soul can even be said to be one of the rarest Martial Souls on the entire continent."

"Xiao Ye, do you know the origin of this martial spirit?" The master asked, somewhat surprised.

Ye Li nodded and said, "This martial soul is passed down through a single lineage. Each generation can only have one inheritor, and at the same time, there can only be two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters alive. Only when one dies can another one appear in the next generation. Moreover, the soul skills are fixed. No matter what kind of soul ring it is, the soul skills can only be restored."

Ning Rongrong chimed in, "I've heard about this spirit from my dad. No matter how many spirit rings Nine Heart Begonia has, her spirit skill will only be one: area-of-effect healing for the entire team. The degree of healing can be controlled at will. You could say that as long as a Nine Heart Begonia spirit master exists, it's hard to die."

"I'll make the arrangements from here on out," Ye Li said.

At the same time, he also wanted to use the Royal Fighting Team to test how strong the Shrek Team could be. If possible, he was willing to offer them benefits.

.........

"This time, you're probably going to meet your match." A deep light flashed in Qin Ming's dark eyes.

The members of the Royal Fighting Team surrounded them. Dugu Yan glanced at Shrek Academy's information and said casually, "Teacher, Shrek Academy only has Iron Souls, and there are three Great Soul Masters in the team. Are you sure they can be our opponent?"

Yu Feng chimed in, "That's right, teacher. Look, one of them has a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. The information even says that we need to pay extra attention to this Thousand Hands Asura. That's ridiculous."

Yu Tianheng nodded as well.

Qin Ming frowned and said, "You're already underestimating your opponent before the battle even begins. Don't you understand the principle that pride comes before a fall? With this mentality, I guarantee you'll soon suffer a major setback!"

The showdown between Shrek Team and Royal Fighting Team was undoubtedly the climax of the Soul Arena tonight. Many wealthy businessmen and gentry placed heavy bets on Royal Fighting Team, hoping to make a fortune.

In the audience, Ye Li casually glanced at the two teams and said, "Let me see how much of your strength you two, who are at the same level, can bring out."

The Shrek team members all looked towards Ye Li in the stands. Tonight would be Shrek's toughest match yet, but they believed they would win.

Dai Mubai turned to look at everyone and said, "Shrek will win!"

The group nodded firmly, their fighting spirit high.

As the beautiful host DouDou's voice rang out, the battle that countless people had been eagerly anticipating finally officially began. Countless dazzling spirit rings appeared on both teams' bodies. What excited the ordinary viewers was that none of these spirit rings were white; the lowest level was a hundred-year spirit ring.

Yu Tianheng took the lead. In terms of individual strength, not counting Tang San, he was undoubtedly the most outstanding among them. However, Yu Tianheng's weakness was that he was too eager to show himself, which caused him to become slightly out of touch with his teammates.

The Shrek team was highly motivated, while the Royal Fighting team was even more difficult to deal with than Ye Li had imagined, because none of them were careless, and Dugu Yan suppressed them throughout the entire process. However, with Tang San, who was utterly shameless, there was no doubt that victory would still belong to Shrek.

"We won! We actually won!"

Flander suddenly stood up, his excitement almost instinctively causing him to slap Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji also let out a snort, his expression revealing his excitement. Even the usually harsh master showed a satisfied smile.

Ye Li left the Soto Grand Soul Arena ahead of time and came to a dark place. He was about to leave. When Ye Li broke through to the Soul King level, the Silver Dragon Spirit Condensed Skull gained a new skill: splitting into two. This Soul Bone skill allowed him and Li Ye to appear at the same time, sharing memories and transforming into each other with certain thoughts. However, their cultivation speed was indeed increased by the combined efforts of the two.

In a flash of silver light, two figures appeared simultaneously. One was Ye Li, disguised as a woman, and the other was Li Ye, who inherited Ye Li's original appearance. Ye Li's cultivation level was now level 54, while Li Ye's cultivation level was level 41. Their soul rings had also become four true ten-thousand-year soul rings: yellow, yellow, purple, and purple-black.

Ye Li did this for two reasons. One was to cover up the fact that she was a woman in the Spirit Hall. As long as she merged with Li Ye in the Soul Master Competition, this lie would be covered up, and she could walk in the Spirit Hall in her true form. The other reason was to make it easier for her to monitor them.

"From today onwards, you will travel the Douluo Continent as my younger brother Li Ye, while also monitoring their every move," said Ye Li, who had transformed into a woman.

"Yes, Li Ye will certainly not fail the trust placed in him," Li Ye said confidently.

"We only have one goal: to become gods. After that, I will let you exist as an independent individual and enjoy life," Ye Li said, patting Li Ye on the shoulder.

"Mm," Li Ye nodded.
