I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Having calmed down, Xu Tianran turned to Ju Zi behind him and asked, "Ju Zi, what do you think of this competition?"

Looking towards the arena, Orange smiled and said, "Both the Qiling Team and the Holy Spirit Team are full of strong players."

"Considering that this is crucial for advancing to the finals, they'll definitely reveal some of their hidden cards, right? It's going to be very exciting."

Xu Tianran nodded. "Yes, this is a decisive match. But I'd like to know more about who you think will win?"

"Please allow me to think about it."

In fact, Orange was well aware that the Spirit Contract Team had a higher chance of winning. Admittedly, evil spirit masters possessed extremely strange methods that allowed them to have combat power far exceeding their level.

However, according to their intelligence network, in the battle between the Spirit Tower and the so-called Reverse Spirit Alliance a few years ago, they also revealed a special humanoid soul tool called Battle Armor.

This humanoid soul tool seems to possess the ability to enable a Soul Saint to unleash combat power comparable to a Title Douluo.

Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire attempted to obtain the other party's battle armor technology through means such as trading and infiltration.

However, the information about the battle armor was kept very secret by the Qiling Tower, and they had no way of getting their hands on it.

That is, a year ago they successfully bribed Lan Du, the tower master of the Mingdu branch, to obtain some early drafts.

Combining their current research on humanoid soul tools, they successfully created a humanoid soul tool belonging to their Sun Moon Empire.

However, these humanoid soul tools are like scrap metal compared to fine steel compared to battle armor—the difference is too great.

Although this item is not sold to the public by the Spirit Tower, many high-ranking members seem to possess their own battle armor.

The members of the Qilingta team all hold extremely special positions within Qilingta, so it can be inferred that each of them likely possesses their own unique battle armor.

With such a powerful artifact as a backup, the Holy Spirit Team's chances of winning will inevitably be greatly reduced.

The Qiling team was already very strong, and with the addition of Dou Kai, do they really have any rivals in this competition?

However, considering the black-robed man beside them, who was the Grand Preceptor of their Sun Moon Empire and the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhongli Wu, they certainly couldn't say that directly.

Therefore, after feigning some thought, Ju Zi spoke in an ambiguous tone: "Both teams are very strong, and the outcome is unpredictable. I really cannot judge."

After listening, Xu Tianran smiled. He understood Ju Zi's concerns, so he didn't take Ju Zi's concealment to heart.

There was no other way; if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Spirit Cult was still useful to their Sun Moon Empire, he would have severed all ties with these disgusting guys long ago.

Xu Tianran then turned to the Imperial Advisor, "Imperial Advisor, do you think your sect has a chance of defeating the Qiling team?"

The Grand Preceptor, dressed in black robes, said calmly, "My sect will surely bring your country the glory of victory."

Xu Tianran could only smile and say, "Then I look forward to your sect's performance."

"Of course it was your crushing defeat," Xu Tianran thought to himself.

How could he not know the information that Orange knew about the Spirit Tower?

He is looking forward to seeing if this national coach can maintain this composure in the upcoming matches.

The whistle to start the match blew at that moment.

Jiang Nannan released her martial soul, the Taiyin Moon Rabbit, her eyes flashing with a cold light, and rushed towards the auspicious location with light steps.

Ji Xiang, with a fierce expression, stuck out her tongue, which suddenly grew longer and lashed out at Jiang Nannan like a whip.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan was like a fairy dancing in the moonlight at the competition venue. Her movements were as swift as the wind, yet elegant. With her agile skills, she lightly dodged every attack from Ji Xiang, giving him no chance to touch her.

Ji Xiang gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with ferocity. "You can hide on the first day of the month, but you can't hide on the fifteenth! Let's see how long you can hide!"

Jiang Nannan gave a cold laugh, "Your attack is too direct; it can't hurt me at all."

"Is that so?" Ji Xiang said with a strange smile.

The moment Jiang Nannan landed, several black tentacles suddenly sprouted from the ground and wrapped around her.

Dark Turbidity, this is his fifth soul skill.

This move is a control skill that allows you to select a specific area and grow multiple tentacles to entangle the enemy.

Because this skill is instantaneous, it has a limit of only three uses per day, but even so, it can still be considered a divine skill.

Although theoretically anyone strong enough could force their way through, tests showed that unless the enemy was two levels higher than him, it would take at least ten seconds for anyone else to break through.

And this is a power-attack type Soul Master! It's even more difficult for agility-attack type Soul Masters like Jiang Nannan to break through!

Looking at the girl entangled by tentacles, Jixiang licked his lips with a malicious smile, and said after thinking something disgusting, "Hehehe, I finally caught you, little rabbit."

"I've never tasted brains from such a superb girl before! It must taste incredibly sweet!!!"

After licking his lips again, Jixiang's tongue stretched out and rushed straight towards Jiang Nannan's forehead. The tip of his tongue was like the tip of a spear, determined to pierce through Jiang Nannan's brain.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhan knew it was time to intervene and immediately tried to stop it.

Ke Jixiang casually tossed a round iron ball, saying, "Oops, sorry, it slipped."

An absolute defensive soul tool shield enveloped Zheng Zhan, but the powerful soul power of a Title Douluo shattered this level-seven shield.

But it was precisely because of this brief pause that Jixiang seized the opportunity and his tongue was already close to Jiang Nannan's brow.

At that moment, all the spectators present began to feel anxious. Was the Qiling team about to face their first defeat?

Is this goddess, who seems to have emerged from the moon, really going to perish like this?

This is unacceptable! Many viewers who have witnessed countless Soul Masters die at the hands of those venomous tongues have closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

The Holy Spirit Team members below the stage were either excited about their impending victory or complaining about why they weren't the first to go on stage. They felt that having such a top-quality girl devoured would greatly help their cultivation.

However, the Qiling team seemed completely unconcerned about the danger Jiang Nannan was facing, and for some reason, some members were even sneering.

Jiang Nannan, who was being entangled, looked at the tongue that was about to be licked and said coldly, "You're disgusting."

After saying that, Jixiang's long tongue, which was used by brain-eating beasts, pierced through Jiang Nannan's forehead.
