Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 137 The Match Ends (Part 2)

After returning to his room, Deng Mu took a shower and lay down on the bed to sleep, soon falling asleep.

A moment later, a white-haired woman appeared beside Deng Mu's bed.

The woman had long, white hair and clear, sky-blue eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.

Her slender, delicate body was flawless, and her white dress, though unadorned, made her appear so noble and stunning.

The woman was Xue Di. She came out for some fresh air after seeing that Deng Mu was asleep.

"Little one, why are you so popular?"

Looking at Deng Mu who was sleeping, Xue Di reached out her hand and gently pinched Deng Mu's face.

……

Two days later, outside Xingluo Square.

"There are so many people today."

Looking at the people around him, Wang Dong couldn't help but sigh.

She had never seen so many people before, but there were so many today.

Xiao Xiao chimed in, "Of course. After the semi-finals, there were already quite a few people queuing up, so it's normal to have so many people today."

Upon learning that someone had queued for two days, Wang Dong looked surprised, completely unexpected that someone would be so crazy.

The group arrived at the rest area and waited for the match to begin.

Seeing that both teams had entered the rest area, Emperor Xingluo smiled faintly and nodded to Duke Baihu beside him.

"Silence. The competition is about to begin. Please speak, Your Majesty," Dai Hao commanded in a deep voice.

Emperor Xingluo said a few words and then gestured for Huang Jinxu to come on stage.

A beam of light flashed across the city wall and appeared in the center of the arena the next moment; it was none other than Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.

Huang Jinxu's body trembled slightly when he saw Xuanzi at the back of Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, the Shrek members looked behind them and saw Xuanzi eating a chicken leg.

Huang Jinxu quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "I, Huang Jinxu, am the referee for the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. Now I will announce the rules of the final competition."

Huang Jinxu then announced the competition rules, and after the rules were announced, everyone began to take to the field.

"Um?"

Deng Mu noticed that Xu Jiujiu was wearing the hairpin he had given her.

Xu Jiu Jiu noticed Deng Mu looking at her and gave him a slight smile.

Noticing this, Wang Dong leaned close to Deng Mu and whispered, "Deng Mu, do you know Princess Jiu Jiu?"

Deng Mu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I ran into her after the semi-finals."

After listening to Deng Mu's explanation, Wang Dong nodded to indicate that he understood.

"I have already announced the rules of the match, so I will not repeat them here. Both sides step back and prepare to begin. The match will end when one side has no one left to continue fighting."

Upon hearing Huang Jinxu's words, everyone retreated and formed their own formation.

"start!"

As soon as Huang Jinxu finished speaking, Huo Yutong used mental sharing and mental detection.

Deng Mu activated his Blue Silver Domain, followed by his first Soul Skill, Life Shield, and his fourth Soul Skill, Spirit Rune Frenzy.

Everyone was protected by a blue shield, with spiritual patterns shimmering on its surface, like ancient and mysterious runes, containing powerful energy.

Ma Xiaotao felt the amplification and used her second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth, and her third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring.

As Ma Xiaotao unleashed her soul skill, her body was instantly enveloped in scorching flames. The phoenix flames burned fiercely, illuminating the entire arena, and the surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature.

Her enormous fiery wings and phoenix tail stretched out from behind her, each flap bringing with it a blast of scorching air, making her figure appear even more imposing in the firelight.

Ma Xiaotao hovered in the sky, her phoenix flames blazing around her, like a burning sun.

As she waved her hands, countless fireballs carrying an aura of destruction fell from the sky, trailing long flames, like burning meteorites, crashing towards the area where Xu Jiujiu and the others were.

The fiery meteor streaked through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and its intense heat caused ripples to spread across the surrounding air, distorting and deforming it.

A smile appeared on Xu Jiujiu's face, as if she had been waiting all along.

A ball of golden light was flung from her hand, and in a flash, it struck Ma Xiaotao's terrifying phoenix flames.

A layer of golden light descended from the sky, instantly flipping back and completely enveloping Ma Xiaotao's unleashed sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower. It then rapidly descended, suppressing Ma Xiaotao herself within it.

Upon seeing this, Deng Mu recalled that Xu Jiujiu possessed an absolute defensive soul tool.

To destroy the bead that is the main body, one would need to be at least a Soul Saint or higher, which is unlikely for Ma Xiaotao at her current level.

Huang Heyun let out a low roar, and the light of his second soul ring shone brightly. His figure blurred instantly, and he shot towards Dai Yueheng like a black lightning bolt.

At the same time, black soul power surged on his arms, transforming into two huge black tiger claws, gleaming with a cold light, and reaching out to grab Dai Yueheng's shoulders.

Dai Yueheng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately unleashed his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

His body swelled instantly, his muscles bulged, and black horizontal lines appeared on his skin.

Faced with Huang Heyun's attack, he neither dodged nor avoided, his arm muscles tensed, and he suddenly swung his fists forward to meet Huang Heyun's tiger claws.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the two attacks collided, and the fluctuations of soul power spread out like ripples, instantly blowing away the surrounding dust.

Huang Heyun felt a tremendous force coming from him, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a shallow crater.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jiujiu used his third soul skill, Starry Night Technique.

Four golden rays of light fell upon Chen Xiaojie and Huang Heyun respectively.

Chen Xiaojie was enveloped by the Starry Sky Technique for a long time, his aura instantly increased, and his speed suddenly increased. He transformed into a golden lightning bolt and sped towards Wang Dong.

Chen Xiaojie pounced on Wang Dong like a golden lightning bolt. The Goddess of Light Butterfly martial soul behind Wang Dong shone brightly, and its first soul skill, Winged Guillotine, was activated instantly.

She flapped her wings rapidly, and golden light blades rained down on Chen Xiaojie, slashing through the air with a hissing sound.

Chen Xiaojie nimbly dodged left and right, and with the super speed boosted by the Starry Sky Technique, he narrowly avoided most of the light blades.

However, several blades of light still grazed his body, leaving shallow scratches on his clothes.

Seeing that the light blade attack was ineffective, Wang Dong immediately used his second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light.

The golden patterns on his wings shone brightly, and small orbs of light shot out rapidly, drawing arcs in the air as they chased after Chen Xiaojie.

These orbs of light contain powerful soul energy; once they explode, their destructive force should not be underestimated.

Chen Xiaojie sensed danger, and a layer of golden lightning appeared around his body.

The orbs of light struck the lightning shield one after another, producing a series of explosions.

The powerful fluctuations in soul energy caused Chen Xiaojie's figure to sway violently in the air.

However, just as he was doing his best to block the explosion of the Butterfly God's Light, Deng Mu appeared behind him like a ghost.

Deng Mu's eyes were sharp and decisive. He raised his right arm high, his fist flashing with blue light, and suddenly threw a punch at Chen Xiaojie's back.

This punch was extremely fast, accompanied by a whooshing sound, like a cannonball.

Chen Xiaojie sensed the danger behind him and tried to dodge, but his movements became sluggish due to Wang Dong's attacks.

"Bang!"

Deng Mu's fist slammed into Chen Xiaojie's back, unleashing a powerful burst of force.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Chen Xiaojie's body flew forward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and crashed heavily to the ground, immediately losing his ability to fight.

The audience didn't show any surprise when they saw Chen Xiaojie being defeated in one hit. It would have been surprising if Deng Mu hadn't defeated Chen Xiaojie.

Everyone thought Deng Mu was born with superhuman strength, and few people could withstand a punch from him.

Fire elemental soul king Yi Chen circled her hands in front of her, and a halo of flames enveloped Dai Yueheng.

Wind element control type battle spirit king Wang Shiying also released a similar halo, with the blue and red halos overlapping and exploding simultaneously.

The moment the two halos rose simultaneously, a series of sharp whistles and roars erupted in the air.

Centered on Dai Yueheng's body, a massive pillar of wind and fire shot into the sky. The blazing flames became sharp under the influence of the wind, like a giant meat grinder crushing everything in its path.

Dai Yueheng suddenly bent over and slammed his fist into the ground beneath his feet.

A thunderous roar suddenly rang out, sending countless stones and earth flying, blasting the combined wind and fire control skill into a chaotic mess.

Dai Yueheng looked at Xu Jiujiu and rushed towards her without hesitation. If he could take care of Xu Jiujiu, the game would be basically won.

But the moment he charged out, four figures, as one, stood in his way.

Huang Heyun and Dai Yueheng's fists collided, instantly unleashing a powerful shockwave of soul power that spread outwards, raising a cloud of dust.

Dai Yueheng felt an overwhelming force coming from his opponent's fist. Even though he had used the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he still couldn't resist it. His arm was in excruciating pain, and he was shaken backward, his footsteps carving deep furrows in the ground.

Just then, Huo Yutong and Wang Dong seized the opportunity and instantly unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Brilliant Decay, Golden Path.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from them, quickly coalescing into a brilliant golden path that shot towards Huang Heyun and the others like a golden lightning bolt.

Wherever the golden road passed, the air seemed to freeze, carrying a mysterious and powerful force.

Before Huang Heyun could react, the light had already enveloped him and the people behind him.

In an instant, a layer of gold began to emanate from their bodies, as if they had been plated with gold leaf. Their movements stopped, and they were completely transformed into golden statues, with expressions of astonishment and resentment still lingering on their faces.

With only two members of the Star Luo team still fighting, it's safe to say that Shrek Academy has won this match.

Soon, Xu Jiujiu and another teammate were eliminated by Deng Mu and his team.

As Xu Jiujiu and the last teammate were also eliminated, the entire Xingluo Square erupted in thunderous cheers.

Shrek Academy wins!

Huang Jinxu announced that Shrek Academy was the winner of this team battle.

In the subsequent singles elimination rounds and the 2-2-3 battle, Shrek Academy won easily.

Teacher Xuanzi remained seated, leisurely finishing her chicken leg before standing up with a satisfied smile. She called out to the team members on stage, "Well done, kids!"

Although Emperor Xingluo was somewhat disappointed by the defeat of the Xingluo team, he still maintained his imperial demeanor and stood up to applaud and congratulate Shrek Academy.

The audience below the stage followed suit, and applause rang out continuously, echoing throughout the entire square.

The enthusiastic atmosphere in Xingluo Square lasted for several hours before the crowds gradually dispersed, thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers to maintain order.

In order to prevent the overcrowding in Xingluo City from continuing, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Xingluo Empire publicly announced that the final award ceremony would not be open to the public.

Deng Mu and his group received their rewards, which included not only gold soul coins but also as many as four soul bones.

In addition to the three soul bones that the champion deserves, there is also an extra Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone.

After a long while, he looked at Deng Mu and joked, "Brother Mu, why don't you stay here and not go back to Shrek Academy?"

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words from the side, Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, walked a few steps to Deng Mu's side, crossed her arms and said, "Hmph, don't even think about it, Deng Mu won't stay."

She knew exactly what Xu Jiujiu was thinking, and she wouldn't allow that to happen.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's protective look, Deng Mu smiled and said to her, "Sister Xiaotao, don't worry, how could I possibly stay?"

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu smiled but didn't say anything more.

After receiving their rewards, everyone returned to the hotel and had a good rest for a day.

The morning after receiving the award, the Shrek Academy students changed into ordinary clothes and, without alerting the Star Luo Empire's officials, quietly left Star Luo City and flew directly to Shrek Academy.

……

Shrek Academy, main gate.

Five people stood in front of the huge gatehouse. At the very front were Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, and Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

The three people behind them are Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department; Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department; and a core teacher of the Soul Guidance Department.

They all tilted their heads slightly, looking at the distant sky, waiting quietly.

Gradually, the tiny, black-dot-like figures in the distant sky became clearer, slowly descending under their watchful eyes.

"Welcome home, children."

Yan Shaozhe and his four companions strode forward to meet them.

As they spoke, the five first bowed to Elder Xuan, and then came to the Shrek team members, where they chatted with them for a while.

The four deans shook hands with everyone and then personally led them back to the academy.

A small boat was already waiting on the shore of Poseidon Lake.
