Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 52 The Mad Shrek, Chi Ping Wakes Up

In the 12th round of the preliminary rounds, Shrek Academy faced off against Canghui Academy.

"Has Shrek gone mad?!"

This thought crossed the minds of everyone who watched the Shrek Academy matches, whether they were spectators or players from other academies.

……

From the moment they entered the rest area, the seven Shrek members sat upright in their chairs with cold faces and an intense killing intent emanating from their eyes. Anyone who tried to approach them to say hello was startled by the unintentional killing intent they exuded and broke out in a cold sweat.

As the referee announced the start of the match, the seven players left the rest area and entered the playing field.

At the announcement of "The match begins," the seven people lined up in a row, with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing in the center.

Unaware of the situation, Canghui Academy gathered together as planned and used the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, Seven Asura Illusions.

The move, which resembled a martial soul fusion technique, shocked the entire audience, with some even believing that Shrek Academy might lose to Cang Hui.

However, just as Canghui and his group were feeling smug, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing shattered their illusions.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda boosts, as does the sausage.

Martial Soul Fusion - Netherworld White Tiger!

Illusions are what confuse the five senses and trouble the mind.

Intuition is the sixth sense, it is instinct, it is difficult to be disturbed, and intuition can focus attention, making it difficult for illusions that disturb the mind to have an effect.

In a sense, Intuition is a natural counter to illusion-type skills.

Chi Ping's cultivation of intuition is the most profound; only illusions like Shi Nian's, which specialize in illusions and possess a high level of suppression, can be effective against him. Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong have weaknesses in intuition, but they are not easily fooled by the Seven Asura Illusions.

The Netherworld White Tiger inherited Zhu Zhuqing's intuition and Dai Mubai's bloodline, making the Seven Asura Illusionary Realms utterly vulnerable in its presence!

Hupu!

Tiger leaps!

Tiger Shears!

Dai Mubai's Fierce Tiger Three Forms were originally designed for the Netherworld White Tiger, and they are not difficult to use at all.

In no time, Cang Hui and the other seven men collapsed unconscious.

According to the normal procedure, the seven Shrek Academy students should stop fighting and step back, allowing the referee to check the condition of the seven Canghui students before announcing the result and Shrek Academy leaving the stage.

However, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe recognized Shi Nian's identity yesterday.

With a little thought, the events of yesterday can be roughly deduced.

For unknown reasons, Shi Nian used the Remnant Dream Martial Soul to lure the eight Shrek students to a secluded place, intending to attack them. However, Chi Ping used some unknown method, sacrificing his left arm to kill Shi Nian and save the students.

At Shrek Academy, Chi Ping is special. Although Dai Mubai is the senior brother, in everyone's hearts, Chi Ping, who guides everyone's cultivation, takes care of everyone's life, shares his insights, and always stands at the forefront in times of danger, is perhaps more deserving of the title "senior brother".

Like a father, the eldest brother, Ikehira Shin is like a patriarch who silently gives and protects.

Chi Ping is currently seriously injured and unconscious; his left arm is now useless.

How could Dai Mubai and his six companions not be furious!

Although he was already dead, that did not stop them from taking their anger out on him!

The seven members of Canghui had lost their fighting ability and collapsed to the ground. Dai Mubai asked Tang San to use Blue Silver Grass to trap the seven members of Canghui like dumplings. Tang San took it upon himself to use acupressure techniques to stimulate the nerves of the seven members, making them feel pain several times more intensely.

One for each person.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The seven people from Canghui were awakened by the pain, and then fainted again in pain.

They woke me up and then knocked me unconscious, then knocked me unconscious and then woke me up again.

This went on for half an hour, until all seven members of Canghui were covered in wounds, and the entire arena fell silent.

"You should be glad! Hirako wants the championship, and Shrek Academy can't be eliminated because of fouls."

Dai Mubai's double pupils merged into one, his eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a demon.

The Elite Tournament prohibits injuring or crippling opponents; violators will be eliminated.

This rule saved the lives of Canghui and his six companions, and it saved their future.

"Stop it! Referee, come and check!"

Dai Mubai spoke, releasing Canghui from his grasp and stepping aside; the other six followed suit.

Before stepping back, Ma Hongjun used his palm as a branding iron to leave a handprint on the chest of the Canghui player. The Canghui player was awakened by the pain. Ma Hongjun grabbed his face and made him look into his eyes. "Scum, wait until the competition is over."

The referee shakily went up to the stage to check the condition of the Canghui students, not daring to look at the Shrek students.

The referee quickly announced the result.

No Canghui students suffered any disabling injuries!

Shrek Academy wins!

however……

There was no applause, no celebration; there was only deathly silence, both on and off the stage.

Shrek Academy was too brutal this time; they were practically torturing the Canghui students. Seeing the Canghui students' miserable state, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

With this defeat, the elite competition of Canghui Academy has come to an end. They brought out a trump card—a seven-in-one fusion technique—thinking it would make them famous, but it was nipped in the bud by Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai led his juniors off the field and into the rest area.

Students from other academies remained waiting, eager to know what had happened at Shrek Academy and what had caused them to suddenly become so violent.

In every previous match, Shrek Academy had always fought decisively, stopping when their opponents lost their fighting ability. Never before had they fought like this.

There must be some reason for this.

—Perhaps it has something to do with the student who didn't show up.

—We need to find a way to investigate, otherwise the academy won't have an easy time dealing with Shrek Academy like this.

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Yu Tianxin thought to themselves.

"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Erlong looked at the seven children with some heartache.

Dai Mubai shook his head. "Senior Erlong, please take us to Pingzi's place."

Yu Xiaogang seemed to want to say something, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't speak.

"let's go."

Amidst the probing gazes of everyone, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang led Dai Mubai and the others away from the Great Soul Arena.

From today until the end of the Elite Tournament, Liu Erlong and Flander will stay by the Shrek Academy students' side and will never leave them again!

……

Prince's Mansion.

Ning Fengzhi held a piece of soul bone, struggling desperately.

占？

Not occupying?

A soul bone, a gem-type head soul bone, a soul bone that is extremely suitable for a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master!

No Soul Master could refuse this Soul Bone.

but……

Is it worth it?

No secret can be hidden forever, especially since he wasn't the only one who knew about this soul bone.

Yesterday at dusk, the Netherworld White Tiger broke into the Crown Prince's residence and treated Chi Ping. Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe discovered this head bone while examining Shi Nian's corpse.

—It can't be hidden!

Possessing this soul bone would inevitably lead to animosity with Chi Ping.

Which is more important, a piece of spirit bone or Chi Ping's friendship? Which is more valuable?

It's a difficult decision.

"Ugh!"

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile.

—With Rongrong's growth and Uncle Jian's advancement, the sect owes Chi Ping a considerable debt of gratitude. Possessing this soul bone will put both Rongrong and Uncle Jian in a difficult position. Once a rift is created, it's hard to bridge. How can a sect with internal divisions go far?

Moreover, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

By cleverly seizing the treasures of their benefactors, and with a little propaganda from the opposing forces, the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be ruined.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can never do without external assistance or independent soul masters; a good reputation is the foundation for the continuation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

A soul bone can only help one person grow, and there are many opportunities to obtain it, such as hunting souls, buying, exchanging... But if the reputation is ruined, how long can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School continue?

……

Ning Fengzhi led the seven Shrek Academy students into the side hall of the Crown Prince's residence, with Flander, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang following closely behind.

The palace is serene and elegant, exuding nobility in its simplicity. The courtyard features flowing water, small bridges, and bamboo pavilions, making it a perfect place for relaxation and rejuvenation.

However, those who entered the side hall had no interest in appreciating the scenery and went straight to the palace gate without hesitation.

Upon opening the door, they were greeted by Chi Ping raising his only remaining right arm and smiling gently as always.

Good afternoon!
