Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er looked at Ling Bai with anticipation. The seven members of the Tang Clan had discussed it privately beforehand and felt that the matter was likely to succeed.

Having received six years of education at Shrek Academy, how could Ling Bai not hate the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? Using any shameless means would be perfectly justified, let alone simply sending someone up on stage to casually say that they had conceded defeat and forfeited the match.

The masses have discerning eyes; no one believes that the Angel Temple is afraid of Shrek Academy. The two teams clearly have a tacit understanding and are working together to exclude the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Suppressing the enemy is perfectly justifiable.

Ling Bai didn't give an answer immediately, but instead asked with a hint of inquiry:

"I remember that the captain of Shrek Academy this year is Dai Huabin, and the team leaders are Senior Sister and Senior Sister. If Shrek Academy wants to advance, why don't you come yourself? Instead, you guys are the ones who can't sit still."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao subconsciously exchanged a glance with Wang Dong'er, and could see a fleeting hint of guilt in her eyes.

Zhang Lexuan is the senior sister of the inner academy, and Ling Bai usually gives her some face. Han Ruoruo is Ling Bai's acknowledged partner. They had already gone to the Shrek Academy team to ask the two senior sisters to intervene, but were resolutely rejected by the two women.

The decision to have the Angel Temple escort Shrek Academy was actually a private action by the seven members of the Tang Sect. They were all staunch supporters of Shrek Academy and could not stand by and watch the academy be eliminated when it could have advanced.

Silence was tantamount to acquiescence, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward. Wang Dong'er pursed her thin, rosy lips and said:

"In any case, it's better for Shrek Academy to advance than for Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to advance."

Ling Bai, we've known each other for six years. We had some minor disagreements before, but those were just misunderstandings.

Putting all that aside, we're still friends, and Shrek Academy is our shared alma mater.

"We...are friends?"

Ling Bai suddenly fell into deep thought. He was very familiar with these two words, and he was also very familiar with them when they were combined, but they were quite unfamiliar when applied to Wang Dong'er.

His gaze swept over Wang Dong'er, who sat gracefully opposite him. Her beautiful face was flushed, making her look stunning. Her pinkish-blue eyes stared at Ling Bai without flinching, and the emotions surging in her eyes were extremely complex.

Today, Wang Dong'er was a completely different person. This was Ling Bai's first impression. His past hatred for the six-winged angel and for him seemed to have suddenly vanished, and he was eager to mend their relationship.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head. He didn't want Wang Dong'er to come, but he couldn't resist his girlfriend's insistence.

His girlfriend hadn't given him a kind look lately, but now she was showing kindness to Ling Bai right in front of him. Huo Yuhao felt as if something inside him had shattered, and a sour liquid welled up inside him.

Wang Dong'er continued to persuade her earnestly: "The Sun Moon Empire is the common enemy of the Douluo Three Kingdoms. As a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, you should unconditionally suppress the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Senior Ma has officially passed the Poseidon Pavilion meeting and has been designated by Elder Xuan as the successor to the Poseidon Pavilion Master. She must be hoping you'll help her protect Shrek Academy's eternal glory!

Ling Bai's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Don't mention Xiao Tao in front of me. We all have independent personalities and can make our own decisions about everything in our lives."

Shrek lost the championship, but five years later, they won it back honorably with the help of their students.

And Shrek Academy qualified in this way, so what?

"We drew the weakest team in the quarterfinals, fought hard, and barely advanced. In the semifinals, we faced Tangmen, and in the finals, we met Angel Temple. We protected them all the way, and Shrek won the championship without lifting a finger?"

"That's our ideal ending: the Angelic Temple and the Tang Sect helping the academy continue its glory for ten thousand years!"

Huo Yuhao insisted, "According to the rules of this competition, the two teams that advance from the same group will not meet before the finals."

"As long as Shrek Academy advances, you don't need to worry about the quarterfinals and semifinals. Whether we face Tang Sect or not, I have ways to help Shrek Academy advance."

Traditional arts, those who know, know.

"That's all I have to say, Ling Bai. Your teacher had high hopes for you before he passed away. One must not forget kindness. The eternal glory of Shrek Academy needs the wholehearted protection of every Shrek student."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao, unusually domineering, forcefully embraced Wang Dong'er's slender waist, as if declaring ownership to the world, and led her away.

"Let go...don't touch me...keep your distance...Huo Yuhao, I'll count to three!"

He could faintly hear Wang Dong'er's sweet shouts, and Ling Bai revealed a smile that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold. It seemed that the relationship between these two wasn't progressing very smoothly, perhaps because they lacked the trials of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...

After the two left, Wu Feng hummed a little tune and skipped around, her bright red ponytail swaying back and forth. In a great mood, she tossed Ling Bai a piece of fruit.

Ling Bai took a bite; the fruit was sweet and juicy, then noticed the lingering blush on Wu Feng's cheeks and asked in surprise:

"What did you do just now? Your face is so red."

"Huh? I didn't look, I didn't look at anything!"

Wu Feng vehemently denied it, unaware that he was trying to cover up his mistake.

Ling Bai immediately thought of her passionate duo queue with Ning Tian earlier. She guessed that this guy had gotten excited after seeing the sexy version of Ning Tian, ​​and glared at her irritably.

Ignoring Ling Bai's disapproving look, Wu Feng lay down on the sofa without any regard for her image, draping her long, plump, and fair legs over Ling Bai's knees.

"So bold! Aren't you afraid Xiao Tian will come out and see?"

"Hehe, she's asleep."

Wu Feng grinned mischievously and began making subtle moves, while probing, "I overheard something. Are you going to admit defeat tomorrow?"

"I can't recognize a single thing."

Meng Hongchen washed herself clean and lay on the bed offering herself, but Ling Bai refused to agree to fix the match. You think you can convince me with just a pig's tongue?

At least...

Pah, pah, pah, Ling Bai, you're really hungry!

Those crimson eyes lit up instantly. Wu Feng sprang to her feet and nestled into Ling Bai's arms, breathing softly into his ear as she spoke in a seductive and alluring tone:

"I just bought a black python silk stocking, want to try it on?"

"Something's not right. This is too overtly attentive. Something's fishy going on."

"Look at what you're saying... I want to be the first one up tomorrow."

"Granted."

……

The final day of the group stage of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

The four groups—Yellow, Purple, Black, and Red—took turns to the stage for their final battle. The six qualifying spots for Yellow, Purple, and Black are now set, with the Red Group's Angel Temple far ahead. Only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy remain uncertain.

The tournament organizing committee knew how to whet the audience's appetite, so they deliberately arranged the Angel Temple vs. Shrek Academy match, which would determine the fate of the Red Team, as the final match.

As evening approached, the sky turned a hazy yellow. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's competition had come to an end, with them leading Shrek Academy by eleven points.

Because of the head-to-head record between the two teams, if the Angel Temple wins even one match in the individual battle, Shrek Academy will be eliminated.

At this moment, all three teams were drenched in sweat. The members of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy clasped their hands together, praying that the Angel Temple would live up to the name of justice.

The Tang Clan members stared intently at the Angel Temple rest area. Ling Bai did not appear, which reassured them slightly.

On Shrek Academy's side, Cao Jinxuan asked timidly, "Senior Sister, Sister Ruoruo, can the Angel Temple allow us to advance?"

"Why would you have such thoughts?" Zhang Lexuan asked back. "The Angel Temple's forfeit is an insult to Shrek Academy. Showing our strength in battle is the only way to show respect."

Clear your mind of distractions, be ready to go into battle at any time, do your best, and have a clear conscience.

"You don't need to feel pressured." Han Ruoruo smiled faintly. "It's just a Soul Master Competition. It can't negate Shrek Academy's glorious achievements over the past ten thousand years. You did a great job. You are the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation."

The seven faced unprecedented pressure in this Soul Master Competition. Countless people slandered and insulted them, saying they were weak and unqualified to represent Shrek Academy. Their straight spines slowly bent, and they began to fall into self-doubt.

"I'll go first, let's treat this as our last battle!" Dai Huabin said firmly.

The others straightened their backs again, seeing the insults as a form of training. Due to their own talents, they might never become figures like Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi, but after the Soul Master Competition, the Shrek Seven's mindset was elevated, and they would surely become outstanding and powerful Soul Masters among their peers.

"Please send your individual fighters to the stage!" shouted Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo.

With fierce fighting spirit, Wu Feng took to the stage. At the cost of almost killing the python, she won the position of vanguard officer.

"Hua Bin, be careful. Wu Feng doesn't seem like he's going to surrender," Zhu Lu warned worriedly.

"It's alright, I'd like to experience the ultimate fire for myself anyway."

As Dai Huabin gazed at the radiant Wu Feng on the stage, the memories of studying together in the outer academy were still vivid in his mind. Back then, he was one of the three Soul Masters among the freshmen, and the undisputed number one genius.

Wu Feng simply followed the right person. Ling Bai fed him without regard to cost, and the red dragon ascended to become a fire dragon, a descendant of the legendary Fire Dragon King. It awakened the ultimate fire, broke through to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor, and left Ling Bai far behind.

Dai Huabin was proud to the point of arrogance. Of course, he didn't like the feeling of being overtaken by the latecomer. So what if he was a six-ringed Fire Dragon Soul Emperor? He was going to take two pieces of flesh!

"I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

Looking at Dai Huabin opposite her, flames burned in Wu Feng's eyes. Xie Huanyue didn't care much about the underhanded dealings of Shrek Academy five years ago; she was different.

She was the number one genius of the collateral branch of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Everyone had given her a thumbs up and praised her since she was a child. Apart from the fact that she was constantly being humiliated by Ling Bai, Wu Feng had never suffered any hardship.

She accepted the defeat to Huo, Wang, Xiao, and the other two in the freshman assessment competition, and Wu Feng had nothing to say, after all, it was a fair and square battle.

She was clearly the winner of the Grand Melee Selection Tournament and should have joined the Shrek Seven Devils to compete in Star Luo City with Ling Bai and Ning Tian!

But someone else took my place!

Wu Feng has always strived to prove herself. Five years ago, Shrek Academy thought she was unworthy to represent the Shrek Seven Devils in the competition, so five years later, she will personally eliminate Shrek Academy!

"The match begins!"

Zheng Zhan's command to start the match marked the beginning of the final battle of the group stage.

"roar--"

A roar erupted from Dai Huabin's mouth, and dense white soul power spewed out. Five perfectly matched soul rings appeared powerfully. Amidst a tooth-grinding cracking sound, Dai Huabin's figure swelled up, and the top-tier offensive martial soul, the White Tiger, was possessed!

The first, third, and fifth soul rings are lit up simultaneously, unlocking three major enhancement skills: White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation!

Facing Wu Feng, whose soul power and martial spirit both surpassed his own, Dai Huabin went all out from the start!

Dai Huabin's body suddenly became even more robust, and all the white hair covering his body turned golden, with only the black "king" character pattern on his forehead clearly visible.

Every muscle was brimming with explosive power. With his full potential unleashed, the blades on his tiger claws were now tinged with gold, and his attack power had reached its current limit. With the support of his three soul skills, Dai Huabin's combat power was undoubtedly amplified to the most terrifying level!

Dai Huabin charged towards Wu Feng, his fourth spirit ring lit up, shining with golden light, and countless points of light fell from the sky, shooting wildly towards Wu Feng.

Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower!

A pair of crimson dragon wings burst forth from its back, and Wu Feng soared into the sky, heading straight for the White Tiger Meteor Shower. Dai Huabin's eyes widened, and his expression suddenly became slightly dazed.

Forcing their way into the White Tiger Meteor Shower? That's outrageous!?

Wu Feng was not defeated by the White Tiger Meteor Shower. Instead, as if he were bathed in the meteors, pillars of fire like magma spread across his entire body, and his crimson dragon scales, set against the golden light, shone with a dazzling brilliance, like sculpted rubies.

Fire Dragon's third soul skill is Dragon Armor, and its fourth soul skill is Dragon Wings!

The black sixth spirit ring, which was at the bottom of the list, shone brightly. The next moment, a whirlwind descended from the sky, creating a deafening roar, and the flames of the fire dragon obscured the figures of the two.

Sixth Soul Skill: Dragon Explosion!

In the arena, a mushroom cloud formed from condensed soil rose into the air. The shockwave from the soul power aroused the soul guidance shield, and the team members who were closer to the arena involuntarily activated their soul power to try to resist.

Wu Feng stomped heavily on Dai Huabin's back. The terrifying explosive force of the Dragon's Blast broke through the White Tiger's defense. The fire dragon stomped most of the White Tiger's body underground, and poor Dai Huabin's eyes bulged with swirls.

The outcome is decided!

The Shrek Academy members sighed in dejection; there was no more miracle, and Shrek Academy was eliminated!

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy embraced each other excitedly, filled with admiration for the Angel Temple's act of sacrificing their own family for the greater good!

"They actually disregarded the academy's kindness and ruined Shrek Academy's millennia-long glory..."

Mingdu was the home ground of the Sun Moon Empire, and the audience booed loudly for Shrek Academy's elimination. The deafening boos made Huo Yuhao grit his teeth.

Aside from Ling Qiuxi and Nana, everyone in the Angel Temple is from Shrek Academy, yet they're unwilling to even do something as simple as going with the flow!

"The Tang Sect and the Angelic Temple will one day clash. We will shatter your arrogance..."

Shrek Academy's defeat was inevitable. Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo did not order their team members to surrender, but instead earnestly dispatched them to fight to the very last moment.

The group stage has concluded, and the eight teams advancing to the finals are as follows:

Angelic Temple, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Tang Sect, Proud Sword Sect, Mingdu Soul Master Academy, Snow Demon Sect, Heavenly Dragon Sect, Star Luo National Academy!

The draw for the quarterfinals followed immediately. Ling Qiuxi stepped onto the stage with a cold and pretty face. She wanted to see what kind of monster she would draw this time!

The first-place team in a group will only be drawn against the second-place team in that group. Excluding the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the Angel Temple's opponent will be one of the three second-place teams from the Yellow, Purple, and Black groups.

With the Angelic Temple ranking first in total points, Ling Qiuxi was the first to go on stage to draw lots. She stroked her snow-white chin with her jade-like hand, considered for a moment, and picked out the one that looked best from the three small white balls. When she pried it open, three small characters came into view...

Snow Demon Sect!
