Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Long Aotian said in a low voice, "Nana, Jin Ni, make your move!"

At the same time, an invisible spiritual domain unfolded, quickly encompassing all seven members of the Tianyu team. This was the Spiritual Interference Domain, the first soul skill of Long Aotian's Yin-Yang Eye Martial Soul. Within the domain, the opponent's spiritual power was interfered with and affected, causing mental abnormalities and making it impossible to control their soul power normally.

Once the seven members of the Tianyu team were covered by Long Aotian's mental interference field, their movements immediately became even slower, and even their foot movements became increasingly clumsy.

Vina's Sword of Emotional Annihilation unleashed two beams of light simultaneously: one a ruthless power that severs all emotions and desires, sealing off the six senses; the other a passionate power that lingers with tender feelings, dreamlike and alluring. The two forces rapidly spread within the mental interference field, enveloping the seven members of the Sky Guardian Team.

Jin Ni gripped the Sword of Destiny's Judgment and murmured, "The tragedy of fate, the stripping of the soul." Two invisible sword lights shot towards the seven members of the Heavenly Imperial Team.

Both Fate's Wound and Soul Deprivation are innate skills of the Golden Rainbow Eye of Fate Martial Soul. When hit by Fate's Wound, all non-soul power defenses will lose their effect, and the user will become extremely vulnerable.

Soul stripping, undefendable, can only be dodged; once hit, all mental defenses will be rendered ineffective.

With the simultaneous use of Fate's Wound and Soul Deprivation, the defenses of the seven members of the Heavenly Guardian Team were completely rendered ineffective.

Long Aotian immediately unleashed a beam of sword light from the Reincarnation Judgment Sword in his hand, shooting towards the Mighty Vajra Bear Soul Master.

The strongest Soul Master of the Tianyu Team, the Mighty Vajra Bear, was forced to dispel his Martial Soul Possession state and fall asleep immediately under the influence of mental attacks and the Samsara Sword Light.

Ji Juechen used his third soul skill, "Sword's Edge," to pierce through the Diamond Mammoth Soul Master's paper-thin defenses, and then pointed the sword at the Diamond Mammoth Soul Master's brow.

Ye Guyi's second soul skill, "Holy Spirit Slash," also pierced through the plate-armored giant rhinoceros soul master's defense with a single sword strike.

Dugu Yuan's third soul skill, "Myriad Calamities Poison Dragon Drill," unleashed a cyan venomous dragon that pierced the ground, sending the Earth Xuan Turtle Soul Master flying. The Earth Xuan Turtle Soul Master crashed into the defensive light shield of the Soul Arena and lost consciousness.

Xiao Xiao's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron split into three. The fourth Soul Ring, "Sealing of the Cauldron," appeared in the east. The three giant bronze cauldrons enveloped the three Soul Masters of the Heavenly Imperial Team with the lowest Soul Power: Iron-Backed Black Gorilla, Bronze Bull, and Muddy Hippo. Under the sealing of the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, the three Soul Masters were also forced to release their Martial Soul Possession state.

The entire Tianyu team has lost its fighting ability.

Seeing that the Imperial Academy had defeated the Heavenly Imperial Team so easily, the audience below the stage immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

Imperial Academy easily won their second match of the round-robin tournament. This was arguably Imperial Academy's easiest victory since the start of the competition.

Over the next few days, they will take turns playing against other teams in the group.

After a week of continuous play, the second round of the round-robin tournament was completed. In the end, Di'ao Academy won first place in the group with a perfect record of winning all their matches and secured a spot in the top 16.

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

The second-place team in the group was the Plant Academy, which only lost one match to the Imperial Academy and won all the others, thus securing a spot in the top 16.

With this, the second round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has come to an end. As expected, established academies such as Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy, and Star Luo Royal Academy all advanced to the top sixteen as the top teams in their respective groups.

During this time, Long Aotian also observed every match of Shrek Academy. Through Huo Yuhao's performance in his many appearances, Long Aotian finally discovered that although Huo Yuhao had been outmaneuvered by him for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he had also obtained other opportunities and was also a twin martial soul.

Huo Yuhao's current true soul power level should still be a second-ring Great Soul Master. His first soul skill, the Spirit Eye, should be simulation, and his second soul skill is a mental impact skill.

His second spirit is the Dark Netherworld Butterfly, a top-tier spirit beast with both spiritual and dark attributes. More importantly, the Dark Netherworld Butterfly and Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly are a pair of lovebirds, always appearing together.

Furthermore, the first spirit ring of the Dark Nether God Butterfly should be a genuine 100,000-year spirit ring, not a simulation.

Because of the existence of simulation skills, Huo Yuhao's abilities are ambiguous, and even so far in the competition, no one has been able to figure out his true soul power level and skills.

However, Long Aotian also possessed simulation skills, and his mental strength had already surpassed that of a Title Douluo. In addition, with the million-year-old mental-type soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm as a cheat, he was finally able to analyze Huo Yuhao's true situation.

Long Aotian speculated that Tang San must have been involved in Huo Yuhao's second spirit, since Huo Yuhao was Tang San's chosen one, and Tang San attached great importance to training Huo Yuhao.

However, Long Aotian was not worried about Huo Yuhao now. No matter how strong Huo Yuhao was, he was still far inferior to himself. As long as Tang San did not personally intervene, Long Aotian was confident that he could crush Huo Yuhao under his feet.

There will be a three-day break in the middle of the competition to allow all the participants to rest and adjust. The round of 16 to 8 will begin three days later.

In the hotel conference room, Mu Yu Cheng Feng was explaining the details of the qualifying rounds to the students of Di'ao Academy.

Mu Yu Cheng Feng had already participated in the draw before this. The matchups for the third round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the round of sixteen to eight, had been announced.

After Mu Yu Cheng Feng drew the lots, she gathered the Di Ao group together and told them the results of the draw for the round of 16 to 8 in three days. The academy they would be facing was the Tianhai Soul Master Academy of the Douling Empire. Tianhai Academy was also quite special, as it came from a coastal city on the east coast of the Douling Empire. As its name suggests, this academy was related to the sea.

All the students are Sea Soul Masters, a special type of Soul Master whose Martial Souls are primarily based on Sea Soul Beasts.

Because the ocean is far more vast, deep, and unpredictable than the continent, traditional continental soul masters usually don't know much about sea soul beasts. In fact, none of the ten existing ferocious beasts in Douluo Continent are sea soul beasts.

However, in reality, given that the ocean has a much larger area and environment than the continent, how could it not have soul beasts comparable to the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts? It's just that human soul masters are unable to detect them.

Similarly, mainland Soul Masters don't know much about Sea Soul Masters who use sea spirit beasts as their martial souls. These Sea Soul Masters usually live by the sea or on islands for generations and rarely travel to the mainland. Therefore, the abilities of Sea Soul Masters are hard to fathom.

After learning that their opponent was Tianhai Academy, Mu Yu Chengfeng had already done some research and found that the academy also had Soul King-level combat power.
