Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 137 The Battle Begins, First Move Fails

Yun Yibai: "It's an honor for us to be remembered by His Highness the Crown Prince and Sect Master Ning, even in the unfamiliar Martial Soul City!"

"That's precisely why we've come here," said Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned slightly serious. "Regardless of the final outcome for your Martial Extreme Academy and Spirit Hall teams, your Martial Extreme Academy's performance has been outstanding. So outstanding that Spirit Hall might even destroy you because they can't recruit you."

"The Spirit Hall has always been one to destroy what it cannot have. Their actions over the years have proven this. Those small sects that were unwilling to submit to the Spirit Hall have now basically disappeared from our lives."

"In short, you all need to be careful."

"You can come with me then. I believe the Spirit Hall wouldn't be so crazy as to attack the crown prince of an empire." Crown Prince Xue Qinghe extended an olive branch directly.

To be honest, Xue Qinghe knew very well that this situation was more complicated and difficult than ever before.

He did indeed want to win over Yun Yibai, but this time, Xue Qinghe felt that if he sent someone to interfere again, it might not succeed. Bibi Dong would definitely issue the order firmly, and her subordinates would definitely carry it out resolutely, even if he did it in the name of the young master!

In the eyes of most Spirit Hall members, if Yun Yibai cannot become the Spirit Hall's Yun Yibai, then he can only be the Yun Yibai of hell. The Spirit Hall's higher-ups are unwilling to see someone who could threaten the Spirit Hall grow up.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe had no choice but to risk his life.

On the surface, he is the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he also has armed forces such as the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Knights; in secret, she is the young master of the Spirit Hall, with a prominent position and two titled Douluo guards behind her.

Xue Qinghe simply didn't believe that person would dare to be so bold and ruthless!

Yun Yibai already intended to unite with the royal family, so since Xue Qinghe brought it up, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Then we might have to trouble Your Highness!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled silently, his expression gentle. There were some things only a senior like him could understand.

Ning Fengzhi knew very well that Yun Yibai could not escape this calamity. Between an imperial crown prince and someone who posed a great threat to the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall would weigh the pros and cons.

With the crown prince gone, Emperor Xueye wouldn't dare start a war unless he could find direct evidence, as the Spirit Hall was too powerful. Besides, Emperor Xueye still had a son.

Therefore, he will be able to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Ning Fengzhi was naturally happy that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intervention could yield double the effect.

……

The next day, Wuhun City.

The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was officiated by a cardinal who was an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Once everyone was present, the referee announced loudly, "The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Both teams, prepare yourselves. The match will begin in fifteen minutes."

"His Holiness the Pope is watching us, and the elders are also watching us. We are carrying the glory of the Spirit Hall, and we absolutely cannot lose. Think about the consequences of failure, so we must win this match and never give them any chance."

"From any perspective, we have three Soul Kings and four high-level Soul Masters, while our opponents only have two Soul Kings and five Soul Masters. The advantage is on our side. The scales of strength have already tipped in our favor; the advantage is undoubtedly in our hands!"

……

"The match is ready; both sides may release their martial spirits."

The cardinal finished speaking.

The three members of the Martial Soul Academy team standing at the front each had the best spirit ring configuration, with two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings flashing on their bodies.

Behind Xie Yue and the other two, the other four people also had the best equipment of two yellow and two purple soul rings. The look in each of their eyes became extremely determined. Among them, the male student standing at the back quickly took a step back and held a bright golden scepter in his hand.

Xu Yu, this support-type Soul Master, is undoubtedly quite versatile. Besides healing and strengthening, his greatest strength lies in his ability to directly simplify the process of the Spirit Hall's Xie Yue and his group's Spirit Fusion Technique.

On the Martial Arts Academy team's side, Yun Yibai, the leader, revealed five spirit rings: two yellow, one purple, and two black. No matter the occasion, his spirit ring configuration was always eye-catching.

Dugu Yan was beside him. Feng Xiaotian stood behind Yun Yibai, displaying his standard spirit ring configuration. Yang Tai, Niu Tian, ​​and the others behind him were not to be outdone, aiming to add a touch of intimidation to the group and overwhelm the seven from the Martial Soul Academy.

"The match begins."

At the cardinal's command, the finals of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament began, and the cardinal elders quickly withdrew from the competition venue.

The Martial Soul Academy made the first move, with seven members immediately taking action, while the remaining six protected Hu Liena at the forefront. However, in terms of reaction speed, most members of the Martial Extreme Team Academy were far inferior to the seven members from the Martial Soul Academy.

The Martial Arts Academy team has only been established for two years, while the Spirit Hall elite team has been established for many years. In addition, they are all elite members who survived the trials of the Death Forest, so their team battle experience is more extensive than that of the Martial Arts Academy.

A faint smile appeared on Hu Liena's face. With the release of her martial spirit, she seemed to have become more beautiful in everyone's eyes, and a fluffy tail grew out from her back.

A pale red light emanated from her body, and her eyes flashed as she looked at the group from the Martial Arts Academy. Hu Liena's every smile and gesture possessed a unique charm that made people irresistibly drawn to her.

The spirit rings lit up, and the first spirit skill, Charm, was activated!

Hu Liena's soul skill is instantaneous. Learning from her experience in the previous battle against Thunder Academy, Hu Liena used her charm ability at the start. The charm effect was ready the moment her martial soul was released.

The people from Wuji Academy were instantly affected.

Oscar, Ye Lingling, Yang Tai, and Niu Tian from Martial Arts Academy were all affected, as was Feng Xiaotian. Although his strength might rival that of a Soul King, his mental power was relatively weaker.

Similarly, Dugu Yan was also momentarily stunned by Hu Liena's mental charm, but she immediately snapped out of it.

The Spirit Hall members also sprang into action the moment Hu Liena unleashed her spirit skill.

The Martial Arts Academy has not made any move yet, seemingly having lost the initiative.

Yun Yibai remained unmoved. He could understand this situation; someone who could be favored by Bibi Dong was definitely not just a pretty face.

Yun Yibai slightly raised his hand, and golden lightning descended upon the group, instantly waking them up.
