In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 222 Alone?

"Damn it!" Seeing that Yan had lost the ability to fight again, Xie Yue was anxious but helpless.

With Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, Shi Mo, and Tai Long in front, and a sea of ​​fire behind them, and Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Yu Feng in the air, the situation was extremely dire.

"Everyone, it's time to fight back!" Xiao Wu shouted arrogantly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Xiao Wu, you're in charge of taking care of that support Soul Master," Yu Tianheng whispered, then led the charge.

Soon, the two sides collided.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed triumphantly.

"Teleport, Charm!" Xiao Wu dodged Xie Yue with a few flashes and used Charm on the other members of the Spirit Hall. "Invincible Golden Body!" Even though Xie Yue tried to block in time, he was blocked by the Invincible Golden Body and then hit by the vines shot by Tang San.

The remaining Shrek Academy students seized the opportunity to gang up on them, and the situation instantly became one-sided.

"Stop!" Seeing that Yan and Xie Yue on the other side were showing increasingly severe signs of poisoning, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and shouted.

"We concede defeat."

"Yu Feng, well done!" Tang San, who had turned into a honey badger, smiled and rarely praised someone.

In his view, Yu Feng's collision was definitely a major turning point in this battle. If it weren't for that collision, Yan's injuries wouldn't have flared up so quickly, he wouldn't have had such a good opportunity to throw the vine thorns and hit Yan, and the situation wouldn't have become clear so quickly.

"Well done!" Yu Tianheng said with a smile.

"As expected of someone from the Agility Department, your reaction time is really fast," Ma Hongjun said with a smile.

"Let's go back." Tang San glanced at the Spirit Hall team members with their ugly expressions not far away and said indifferently.

"The final is tomorrow, so we need to hurry up and get back into shape as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he glanced at Long Yingtian sitting in the rest area, his eyes flashing.

"Hmm." Yu Tianheng nodded, gave a greeting, and turned to walk off the field.

The cardinal, who was acting as the referee, stepped forward with a slightly grim expression and announced the results of the match and the arrangements for tomorrow's final.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong stood up silently, turned around and walked into the Papal Palace.

"Hmph." Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly and disappeared from the spot.

"Let's go." Zhu Wu got up from his seat and led the team away.

"Let's hurry back too." On the other side, Flander said, "Just like what Xiao San said on the field, you all need to get back into shape as soon as possible, especially Xiao San, you're still injured and need to recover quickly."

"Although I suffered some minor injuries, I'm generally fine," Tang San nodded. "With Oscar and Senior Jiangzhu here, one night should be enough."

"Then hurry back for treatment," Flander said, gesturing for everyone to leave as he walked down Papal Hill.

Some time later, as the sun set, inside the hotel...

"Captain, what are your plans for tomorrow's finals?" Xiao Chenyu asked after ordering the food.

"Tomorrow's match will be a battle between me and Tang San," Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"You're going to go on stage alone?" Xiao Chenyu was slightly surprised.

"Hmm," Zhu Wu said calmly, "This is a grudge between Tang San and me. It's best if you don't get involved."

"Alright." Xiao Chenyu nodded and said no more. If they went on the field together and the captain killed Tang San, they would be accomplices and would likely face retaliation from Tang Hao or even the Clear Sky Sect afterward.

The captain did this to protect them.

Oslo had also considered this possibility and didn't ask any further questions.

In the early hours of the morning, inside a room in the offering hall.

"Hmm," Qian Renxue murmured softly, slowly waking up.

Before long, Sendou Ryu, sensing something, entered the house.

"Grandpa, how long have I been asleep?" Qian Renxue asked immediately.

"Half a day," Qian Daoliu said succinctly, then added, "The Spirit Hall team lost the knockout stage."

"Could it be that Long Yingtian severely injured Hu Liena and the others later on?" Qian Renxue frowned. Even without her, the Spirit Hall team still had 3 Soul Kings and several Soul Masters above level 45. Their strength completely overwhelmed Shrek Academy. How could they lose? Unless, Long Yingtian severely injured all three of Hu Liena's teammates in the individual elimination rounds, making them unable to play.

"." Qian Daoliu briefly recounted the process.

Qian Renxue's gaze immediately turned cold, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "You're more trouble than you're worth!"

Qian Daoliu knew, of course, that his granddaughter was referring to Bibi Dong, and sighed, "This time, she really acted in a manner unbecoming of herself."

"Also, Long Yingtian asked me to pass on a message to you." He immediately relayed Long Yingtian's words.

Qian Renxue remained silent, then seemed to raise her head and say, "Grandpa, I'm not prepared to return to the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Perhaps it's time for me to relinquish some authority. It's time for the substitutes I've nurtured for so many years to be put to use. Grandpa, I plan to stay in Wuhun City and receive practical training from you and the other elders."

"Using power to govern a country is indeed a path, but the most important fundamental factor is still one's own strength."

"If I were a god, all living beings would be beneath my feet. Making a mere Heavenly Dou royal family submit would be a matter of a single word."

"Perhaps I did take the wrong path before."

If she had focused all her energy on cultivation in the past, how could she have been defeated by Long Yingtian this time?

"Very well." Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then nodded gently. "I will have Bibi Dong arrange the handover of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"All matters must be reported to the Hall of Offerings." Qian Renxue added immediately, "Grandpa, I don't trust her."

"In the future, important decisions of the Spirit Hall must be made jointly by the Elders, so as to prevent her from doing anything foolish again."

"In this Soul Master Competition, she has completely disgraced the Spirit Hall." A team with two Soul Kings and five Soul Masters was actually defeated by a team consisting of two Soul Venerables and five Soul Masters. In her eyes, this was an utter disgrace.

If the students from Shrek Academy were on par with Long Yingtian and Long Ling'er, it would at least be somewhat understandable. But the truth is, compared to the two, the students from Shrek Academy, including Tang San, are not even worthy of carrying their shoes.

We've already lost; nothing could be more humiliating.

"After the finals, I will convene an elders' council to limit her decision-making power," Qian Daoliu nodded.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Hu Liena lay on the bed, her cheeks flushed. Her body sometimes tensed and curled up, sometimes stretched and twisted, as if immersed in some kind of dream. Time passed slowly, and she only relaxed after a long time, her whole body covered in sweat.

Nothing was said that night. The next morning...

"Hmm." Hu Liena slowly woke up, then suddenly sat up straight, crossed her arms over her chest, and curled up her legs.

Then I felt a sticky sensation, my body tensed up, and I recalled last night's dream. I quickly hugged my knees and buried my head in my hands.

A moment later, her body trembled slightly, and she sobbed.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded outside the door. Hu Liena quickly looked up, jumped out of bed, and ran into the bathroom.

"Nana?" Bibi Dong's voice came.

"Teacher, I'm taking a shower. You can go ahead and do your work," Hu Liena's voice came from inside.

"Okay." Bibi Dong nodded. "Today is the final. If you want to watch, you can come to the venue later."

"Okay, I understand," Hu Liena replied.

Fifteen minutes later, with a creak, the bathroom door opened, and Hu Liena, who had changed her clothes again, slowly walked out.

He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye, took a deep breath, and strode towards the door.

After some time, they arrived at the rest area in front of the Papal Palace. His brother and Yan were there, and people from Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy had also arrived.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Zhu Wu, whose face was calm and who hadn't noticed her at all. Her fists clenched, her teeth gritted, and a hint of resentment and complexity flashed in her eyes.

"Nana." Seeing Hu Liena arrive, Yan, whose expression was not very good, immediately forced a smile and greeted her.

"Little sister, are you alright?" Xie Yue asked with concern.

"It's all over now," Hu Liena replied softly, and sat down beside her.

"Next," the cardinal, who was acting as the referee, stepped forward and announced the start of the final.

It seems that everyone has arrived. After all, the hotel is not very close to here, and we still need to go up the mountain... Thinking this, I couldn't help but turn my gaze to the rest area of ​​the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Then Long Yingtian stood up by himself.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly opened slightly.

A person?
