Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Chapter 120 The Astonishing Blood Red

Early morning, the sun rises.

Escorted by the Star Luo Empire's army, Shrek Academy members walked through a special passage to the competition venue.

The competition plaza is located in front of the Star Luo Empire's palace, measuring 100 meters in length and width, and 5 meters in height, providing ample distance for Soul Masters to engage in battle.

However, the person who designed the competition venue probably didn't expect that there would be two members of the Shrek Academy team with exceptionally large ranges of soul skills.

With the range of their soul skills, this hundred-meter distance is practically like being face-to-face.

When Xiao Xiao and the others arrived at Xingluo Square, a large number of merchants and nobles had already taken their seats around the area, and Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo also went up to the city wall to watch the battle.

On the city wall, Xu Jiawei quietly watched the Shrek team members waiting in the waiting area.

"Your Majesty, it has been twenty years since our Star Luo last hosted the Continental Soul Master Tournament. We truly miss it."

"Actually, I also had a chance to play that time."

As he spoke, Xu Jiawei shifted his gaze to the distant Xingluo National Team, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I think Shrek Academy is not simple this time, considering the soul tool they revealed before."

"Prime Minister, how are the arrangements going?"

Xu Jiawei asked softly.

"Everything is arranged. The draw is complete, and the match order is finalized."

Upon hearing the reply, Xu Jiawei nodded and walked forward.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

At the command of the protocol officer, Xiao Xiao and the others in the waiting area bowed 90 degrees to show their respect, and then listened to Xu Jiawei's brief opening remarks amidst a burst of cannon salutes.

"According to the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the first round will be an elimination tournament. The loser will be directly eliminated."

"Now, the first match will begin immediately. The two sides are the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Douling Empire, and the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent, with countless honors and having won almost all the major championships in the past thousand years."

Upon hearing the host's voice, the audience members became excited and chanted "Shrek!"

For a moment, only this one sound existed in the entire square.

Faced with this situation, the reserve members, dressed in cyan Tang Clan uniforms and with Shrek Academy badges pinned to their waists, were instantly filled with excitement, their palms slightly sweaty.

Only Xiao Xiao watched all of this with a calm expression.

According to a tip that Shen had inadvertently revealed, Xiao Xiao had no expectations for this match; one Annihilation Grip and the entire opposing team would be knocked down.

To her, the team ahead was no different from a dog on the roadside, even if they only used Soul Bone Skills; they didn't even need teammates to cooperate.

"Let's first welcome the team members from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to the stage."

As the host announced, the members of the Tianling team, trembling all over, stepped onto the competition plaza.

"Alright, the team members from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have made their appearance. At this moment that everyone is watching with bated breath, let's now welcome the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent and the true king among academies."

The cheers from the crowd immediately grew even louder.

Waiting area.

Xiao Xiao tugged at her light blue outfit and casually whispered to Huo Yuhao beside her, "Junior Brother, when we go on stage later, we'll be relying on your simulated soul skills. Make sure to leave a truly impressive impression on the outsiders."

"However, you won't need to use your simulated soul skills on me then; I'll activate my own soul rings."

"Okay, Senior Sister, I understand."

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Xu Shu beside Xiao Xiao, and the scene of the meeting last night immediately flashed through his mind.

"Professor Wang Yan, I have a better idea."

"The usual openings are just too mediocre. Luckily, Junior Brother Huo Yuhao has a simulation soul skill that can perfectly simulate the aura and color of various soul rings. Why don't we have Junior Brother Huo Yuhao modify everyone's soul rings at the start tomorrow?"

"It would be really interesting if they all had 100,000-year soul rings."

The speaker was Senior Sister Xiao Xiao, but he saw that the person he had previously thought was his teacher had merged into Senior Sister Xiao Xiao's body.

After that person merged into Senior Sister Xiao Xiao's body, the expression on Senior Sister Xiao Xiao's face was remarkably similar to her indifferent yet warm fake smile in the Tang Sect.

When Huo Yuhao saw this scene, he was so shocked that he almost screamed.

Fortunately, Tianmeng and Tai helped him calm down in his mind. After some analysis, Huo Yuhao realized that he could only see this man after he obtained the divine test inheritance.

Moreover, it seems that this man has been interacting with the senior sister for a long time, but many teachers in the academy, including Elder Xuan, are completely unaware of this.

This suggests that the man is likely connected to God, or even that he is God.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Senior Sister Xiao Xiao was so strong that she should have been tested by the gods long ago.

With Xiao Xiao's words, no one present that night disagreed.

However, now Senior Sister Xiao Xiao is refusing to let him help her use simulated soul skills to change the soul rings on her body.

Could it be that Senior Sister Xiao Xiao is trying to play dumb and take advantage of the situation, just like those stories in the Tang Sect?

Since that's the case, why not discuss it with Sister Xiaoya and the others?

With his doubts in mind, Huo Yuhao watched as Xiao Xiao took the lead and stepped onto Xingluo Square, and then followed behind Bei Bei and the others.

Soon, Huo Yuhao put his doubts aside. Listening to the cheers of the surrounding audience, everyone except Xiao Xiao was breathing rapidly, and some even had flushed faces.

In their excitement, their soul power circulated rapidly, and each of them felt as if they had inexhaustible strength.

When everyone saw the team that Shrek Academy had sent out, they were all stunned for a moment.

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but ask the Prime Minister beside him, "Why didn't Shrek Academy send Dai Hao's son to the field, or even a single regular team member? Are they really that confident in that senior sister and the level 50 Blue Silver Grass Soul Master?"

In the minds of the people of Douluo Continent, although Tang Ya is already level 50, her martial soul is still Blue Silver Grass.

While their cultivation speed is fast, they are at best support characters with very average control abilities, completely lacking the capacity to dominate the battlefield. At least, this has been proven over tens of thousands of years.

With just a few Soul Masters and a weak Control-type Soul King, how could Shrek Academy be so confident in the first match?

Is that senior sister really that powerful?

With this lineup, everyone is even more eager to see Shrek's performance.

The match continued, and the referee from the Star Luo Empire reached the center of the square and gestured for them to step forward.

Upon seeing this, the people from Tianling Academy across the way quickly stepped forward, which only made Xiao Xiao and her group, who were unhurried, appear somewhat arrogant.

In fact, Xiao Xiao's eyes were full of pity for Tian Ling and the others. If she didn't give them a chance to show their abilities, she was afraid that no one would remember this team.

Once the Shrek team had taken their positions, the referee announced in a deep voice, "In the first round of the elimination tournament, both teams may use most of their soul tools in the team battle. However, if one side concedes defeat during the battle, the other side may not continue to attack and may not use high-powered fixed soul tools in the battle."

"Understood," everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright," the referee nodded. "Both sides, step back to the sides of the arena and wait for my command to begin the match. Before I announce the start, neither of you may release your Martial Soul; otherwise, you will be disqualified."

The two sides gradually increased the distance between them.

As they retreated, the students of Tianling Academy took out various soul tools from their storage soul tools, making final preparations.

Because there was a precedent of Shrek Baby and Xu Sanshi displaying their battle armor during their internal battle.

The advanced soul master academies in the Douluo Three Kingdoms region have also begun to take the role of soul tools in soul masters seriously.

Although the members of Tianling Academy were of average cultivation level, they were still equipped with a number of soul tools, including soul guide rays. They even gritted their teeth and equipped each of them with a level three invincible shield that was worth 10,000 gold soul coins and could withstand the attack of a Soul Emperor for three seconds.

On the other side, facing the actions of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and others, Xiao Xiao and the others casually walked to the other side of the arena without turning their heads.

They showed absolutely no intention of making any preparations.

Soon the two sides reached the edge of the field, and the referee, standing in the center of the field, slowly raised his right hand.

At that moment, Xingluo Square, which housed hundreds of thousands of people, fell silent. Everyone held their breath and stared wide-eyed at the teams on both sides of the field.

天灵学院这一边，7个人迅速排开，是传统的3、2、1、1阵型。

The formation consists of three strong attackers, one agile attacker, one defensive unit, one control unit, and one support unit, making it practical and stable.

On the Shrek Academy side, however, there was no formation whatsoever; they were just scattered around, making it impossible to discern their intentions.

On the field, the referee in the center was dumbfounded when he saw Shrek Academy's formation. Naturally, all referees were graduates of advanced soul master academies.

They were very familiar with the various mainstream formations on the mainland, but Shrek's formation made it seem like they were on a picnic.

In reality, Shrek Academy didn't have any tactical intentions; it was purely a matter of finding good spectator positions to watch how Xiao Xiao would perform.

After the rollback, Xiao Xiao had no memory of what she was capable of. Not only were outsiders curious about her strength, but even Bei Bei and others in the Tang Sect were also full of curiosity about her.

Anyway, Xiao Xiao said last night that everyone can stand anywhere as long as they are comfortable.

"Referee?" Xiao Xiao looked at the referee, who hadn't moved for a long time, with a puzzled expression.

As if waking from a dream, the referee, located in the center of the field, lowered his right hand.

"The match begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, both sides at the edge of the arena simultaneously revealed their martial spirits and spirit rings.

Instantly, an extremely intense and terrifying aura soared into the sky, and the blood-red light illuminated the entire arena in an instant, turning the faces of the spectators blood red as well.

A chilling, bloody, and murderous atmosphere swept over them. Some audience members who had never seen such a scene in their lives vomited under the terrifying, cold, and oppressive atmosphere.

On the other side, the group of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy, whose bodies only shimmered with yellow and purple, looked utterly ridiculous.
