Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 358 Zhongliwu: Wow~ Modification, awesome!

Shrek Academy's withdrawal from the competition undoubtedly caused a huge sensation. The news spread rapidly from the Soul Arena throughout Mingdu and then to the entire continent.

Suddenly, the reputation of Shrek Academy across the continent became strangely bizarre once again.

Even though Shrek Academy had become infamous because of Lin Yun's continuous publication of "Shrek Chronicles," this only referred to Shrek Academy's reputation and did not reflect its actual strength.

As the number one academy on the continent with a history of ten thousand years, Shrek Academy's strength has never been in doubt.

In the Soul Fighting Tournament held every five years, Shrek Academy may not be the champion in every tournament, but its championship retention rate is over 95%. The remaining tournaments where they did not win the championship were either "mercifully" given to other teams by Shrek Academy, or they were unable to participate due to unforeseen circumstances.

In those matches where they didn't win the championship, excluding the ones they missed, Shrek's results consistently remained within the top four, with the worst being a top four finish and more often a runner-up finish.

There are no matches like this one, where a team is completely outmatched in the round-robin stage and chooses to withdraw, or even fails to reach the top 64.

Shrek Academy's sudden slump was quite unusual for many. It was only thanks to the fact that the Sun Moon Empire did not allow betting during the competition that the event took place. Otherwise, those who bet on Shrek Academy's continued success would probably be performing aerial acrobatics that very night.

However, the law that fortune and misfortune are interdependent will inevitably be triggered in many situations.

When Shrek Academy was being criticized by countless people on the continent, who felt that the continent's number one academy was about to decline and lose its glory, Xian Lin'er's strategy played an extremely effective role.

Although Shrek Academy didn't even make it into the top 64 of the competition, the reason for their withdrawal was that they went all out against the evil soul master sects. On the arena, they forcefully killed one Soul Saint-level and five Soul Emperor-level evil soul master geniuses, which resulted in heavy losses for the team, making it impossible for them to continue participating in the competition.

He swiftly killed one Soul Saint and five Soul Emperors!

Such a record is undeniably impressive, and the price Shrek Academy paid for killing an evil soul master who was already stronger than other soul masters of the same level was also considerable. Therefore, Shrek Academy's decision to withdraw from the competition seems quite reasonable.

Even though the voices criticizing Shrek Academy continued after this battle, Shrek Academy's reputation did improve significantly.

Sure enough, Shrek Academy is still Shrek Academy. Mu En and Xuan Zi are just special cases. The other Shrek Academy members are still the killing machines fighting against evil soul masters on the front line.

The reason why Shrek Academy almost became the enemy of the entire continent was because its leaders colluded with evil spirit masters. Now that they have proven their innocence with their lives, more and more people are choosing to return to Shrek Academy and Shrek City.

There are gains and losses; that's just how it is.

After Shrek withdrew from the competition, the Holy Spirit Cult became the second to withdraw.

This is very interesting.

Shrek Academy, which ranked first in the group, withdrew from the competition, and the Holy Spirit Cult, which ranked second in the group, also withdrew. This group, which was originally almost a group of death, inexplicably gained two more spots.

Tianlongmen successfully secured first place in their group, allowing them to avoid competing against other group leaders like Soul Hall, Body Sect, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy before the round of 16 – a windfall indeed.

Zhong Liwu then took Tang Ya back to the Demon Forest and continued his modification plan in the secret room.

After killing Bei Bei with her own hands, Tang Ya seemed to have subconsciously sensed something, and her last thought was completely extinguished. The discomfort that Zhong Liwu had always felt between him and Tang Ya before had also completely disappeared.

Taking advantage of Tang Ya's good meal and the elimination of all hidden dangers, how could Zhongli Wu miss the opportunity for another round of transformation for her? "Hehehehe~"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with her lifeless eyes and numb expression, Zhong Liwu grinned, a strange smile appearing on his square and resolute face, instantly destroying his originally upright demeanor.

"Blue Silver Saintess, very good!" Zhongli Wu nodded in satisfaction, a fierce greed and desire flashing in his eyes. "You will become my most perfect creation, and the future pillar of the Holy Spirit Cult, succeeding me as its leader!"

"But before that, you still need to make a tiny, tiny bit of progress..."

"Hehehehehehe..."

While laughing strangely, Zhongli Wu kept taking out various bottles and jars from his storage soul tool and placing them in front of him. These were all modification parts that he had carefully prepared over the years, ensuring that they could perfectly fit his new car and bring the most comfortable driving experience.

Zhongliwu couldn't even imagine how exhilarating it would be to drive the completely modified new car.

It's definitely much better than Fengling!

With Tang Ya around, I won't have to feel sorry for Feng Ling anymore; I can just stand up and kick her away.

Zhongli Wu was manipulating Tang Ya, carrying out his modification plan in this dimly lit secret room. He used various mind-controlling poisons to allow the poisons to seep into the depths of her soul while Tang Ya absorbed the Light Holy Dragon's essence.

This is the deepest level of manipulation, directly penetrating the soul. After all, in Douluo Continent, apart from Electrolux, this baby outsider, the most skilled at soul manipulation are the Muggles of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongliwu cannot perform microscopic soul surgery, but he can still do so by using the powerful manipulation of poison to make bricks fly.

And at this moment...

In Tang Ya's spiritual sea.

Even if an ordinary person's spiritual sea isn't transformed into a world by the Life Gold like Lin Yun's spiritual sea, it's still a clear lake.

However, Tang Ya's spiritual sea, eroded by various spiritual poisons, has become a lifeless swamp, where countless thorny dark blue silver kings have created a small clearing in the center of this swamp.

The open space was not empty; several Blue Silver Kings intertwined, forming a Blue Silver Cage.

Since it's a cage, it's naturally used to imprison people. The person imprisoned in the Blue Silver Cage is quite interesting; it's Bei Bei's soul after being devoured by Tang Ya...

For some unknown reason, although Tang Ya devoured Bei Bei completely, she spared his soul and instead imprisoned it in her spiritual sea, protecting it in the name of imprisonment.

Perhaps she knew that Beibei would surely die if she was controlled, so she could only choose to protect Beibei in this way.

Indeed, Beibei's soul was preserved, but it wasn't a pleasant experience for her...
