Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 359 Arouses Public Outrage

Having just devoured the soul of the young man from Tiandu Academy, the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect was now full of energy, a hint of joy flashing in his cold eyes.

Evil Soul Masters are not only powerful, but their strength can also increase extremely quickly within a certain cultivation level.

However, after passing the fifth ring, cultivation will gradually slow down, and it depends on how strong one's evil martial soul talent is. The stronger the talent, the faster the improvement, but similarly, some special evil methods are also required. Otherwise, how could they be called evil soul masters?

"Tiandu Academy member, fallen in battle! Next!"

When the referee uttered the word "death in battle," the waiting area of ​​Tiandu Academy erupted in commotion. Everyone stood up and glared angrily at the Holy Spirit Sect members in the waiting area next to them.

There were only three people in the Holy Spirit Sect's waiting area, plus the young evil soul master on the arena, making a total of four, and Tang Ya was not among them.

Clearly, the Holy Spirit Sect was very confident that they could win with just four people.

Two people from Tiandu Academy went up and carried their partner's body down. As they lifted the body of the first player's teammate, a large amount of blood gushed from his seven orifices, staining a large area of ​​the competition stage red.

On the Holy Spirit Sect's side, a young man with a cold aura licked his lips and muttered to himself, "What a pity, such vigorous blood and energy."

"How could you kill someone?" The teacher in charge of the group stood up angrily in the rest area of ​​Tiandu Academy and made a strong protest.

"People have died in previous matches. If you're so capable, you can kill our people too." A chilling voice rang out from the Holy Spirit Sect's rest area.

The teacher leading the team from Tiandu Academy looked angry and helpless. Finally, he walked towards the Tiandu Academy's waiting area.

"Stop! Team leaders are not allowed to enter the waiting area to direct the competition; otherwise, they will be disqualified." The competition organizing committee members blocked his way.

"We're done fighting, we concede!" the teacher said angrily, his voice trembling with emotion. "This is a competition, not a life-or-death struggle. This is outright murder, everyone saw it. It's murder, not an accidental killing during the competition. Tiandu Academy is withdrawing from this competition. Everyone come back here, we're not competing anymore."

He led the team to participate in this Continental Youth Elite Competition not to achieve a high ranking or for fame, but to broaden the students' horizons and give them experience, not to send them to their deaths. He could accept an accidental killing, but what just happened was clearly intentional, and he dared not send any more students to their deaths.

Hearing their instructor's words, the students from Tiandu Academy, who had initially wanted to continue the competition, breathed a sigh of relief. That young man in black was far too strange; their captain was the first to go on stage! He died so inexplicably. What would happen to them? No one is unafraid of death; they came to participate in the competition, not to die!

On the platform, Xu Tianran frowned and said calmly, "Grand Preceptor, tell your men not to go too far. After all, this is just a competition. There will be another opportunity for you to show your skills elsewhere, and we can't afford to give anyone cause for criticism."

"Hmm." The Imperial Advisor sitting next to him gave a faint reply.

The Holy Spirit Sect only fought one battle, but scared off their opponents and advanced with a perfect score of twelve.

But they were met not only with angry stares from other participating teams, but also with boos from the crowd outside the venue.

Anyone with eyes could see that the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect deliberately killed the young man from the Heavenly Capital Academy during the match, and the method was extremely cruel.

Although there were casualties in previous matches, most of them were accidental killings due to the intensity of the battles, which is different from this simple massacre. All the participating teams were enraged by the Holy Spirit Sect.

It's no wonder that evil spirit masters are ostracized and hunted down across the entire continent.

Because they are out of step with normal society.

The competition ended on the morning of the second day, and the match between Tiandu Academy and Shengling Sect was the last match of the morning.

Ji Lin and the others left the rest area and headed towards the Mingyue Hotel. On the way, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nan Qiuqiu and the other girls were still discussing the last match. They were very disgusted with the people of the Holy Spirit Sect and wished they could personally kill those arrogant evil soul masters.

When did these evil spirit masters, who are supposed to be attacked and killed, become so arrogant, brutally murdering contestants in broad daylight?

With their victory in the first round of elimination matches, they now have ample time to rest. This morning, before the competition began, the organizing committee announced that the first round of elimination matches would be extended to four days, as there were simply too many participating teams; three days would not be enough to complete the competition. In other words, they have two more days to rest.

Although they don't need to rest, since only Ye Guyi played in the match and didn't exert himself much.

It was getting late, so as soon as they got back to the hotel, everyone went straight to the cafeteria for dinner.

Even dining is clearly stratified within the Sun and Moon Empire. Teams residing on floors four and below are forced to eat at the hotel restaurant. Teams on floors four and above, however, can order food directly, and the hotel will try its best to accommodate their cravings.

Although the Star Luo Empire also demonstrated class distinctions in the previous competition, it was not as obvious or excessive as that of the Sun Moon Empire.

They sat around the large round table, and dishes that had been prepared in advance were quickly served. Although the treatment was not as good as those of famous academies and sects, the food was still quite good. After all, Mingyue Hotel was one of the best in Mingdu.

Ji Lin and his team didn't go to watch the afternoon matches. Instead, they went to Mingdu for sightseeing. They were probably the only team with such a leisurely schedule. The other teams were busy devising tactics, understanding their opponents, or seizing the time to cultivate. They had no time to play!

The first round of elimination matches ended two days later, with half of the 167 participating teams being eliminated. To avoid disputes, the Sun Moon Empire officially stipulated that all eliminated teams must leave the competition.

The Mingyue Hotel immediately seemed much emptier.

All teams that passed the first round of the competition also received adjustments to their accommodations. Because of Ye Guyi, a Soul Saint-level participant, Zizaimen's accommodations received an epic upgrade, going directly from the second floor to the sixth floor, making them neighbors with the Snow Demon Sect led by Vina and Muxue.

Of the 167 participating teams, 84 remain. Shrek Academy did not participate in the first round.

Because the first round took too long, there was no break for the second round. On the night the first round ended, the remaining eighty-four teams were drawn. This naturally included the Shrek Academy team.
