Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

When the competition came to a close, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo even considered offering Huo Yuhao the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone, a treasured possession of the royal family, as an olive branch to recruit him.

However, Ma Xiaotao's performance was too outstanding, and the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was too precious. In comparison, Huo Yuhao, who was significantly inferior to Kong Tianxu, naturally became less important, which is why the matter was eventually dropped.

After listening to the words that were filled with barely concealed astonishment for a long time, Huo Yuhao's expression stiffened. This was definitely one of the things he least wanted to mention right now.

It seems that due to the close relationship between the soul beast and himself, the soul bone and soul ring of the Titan Snow Demon produced some strange chemical reactions in him, which greatly enhanced his physical strength but also caused his body to undergo abnormal changes.

However, because the power of the Ice Emperor is located in his torso, the power of the soul bone and soul ring cannot reach there, which is why he has such a strange appearance now.

At this moment, the most muscular of the Shrek Seven Devils is not He Caitou, but the youngest one.

“Uh, Princess Jiu Jiu, let me ask you something.”

Slightly embarrassed, Huo Yuhao cleared his throat. Just as he was about to respond, the noisy crowd around him suddenly fell silent, plunging into an eerie solemnity.

A sudden, inexplicable palpitation swept over them, and a strange intuition drew everyone's attention to the hotel's imposing entrance.

The gilded gate, which had been only half-open, was now fully pushed open.

Seven figures clad in plain white robes, bathed in the sunlight streaming freely from outside, slowly entered.

The leader had cascading silver hair and deep purple eyes. The backlighting accentuated his tall and imposing figure, and the hazy gold trim seemed to drape him in a sacred aura.

As he strode in, the crowd automatically parted to make way, as if on a pilgrimage.

In Huo Yuhao's mental detection field of vision, a ball of red light, as blazing as blood and as vast as the sea, suddenly exploded!

Confucius! Heaven! Narration!

Huo Yuhao's thick arms were bulging with muscles, and his joints made a cracking sound.

"Kong Tianxu!" Xu Jiujiu's voice was suddenly filled with surprise. Without hesitation, she left the Tang Clan members and quickly went to greet him.

"Kong Tianxu? He's that Kong Tianxu?!"

"The number one genius on the mainland, Kong Tianxu!"

"It doesn't look like it has three heads and six arms... The teacher made it sound so amazing before."

At this moment, regardless of their thoughts—curiosity, admiration, jealousy, or resentment—everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the figure who had become the focus, their eyes filled with a complex emotion that was almost one of looking up to him.

Simply because he is Kong Tianxu. With his silver dragon form and twin martial souls, he is widely recognized as the undisputed number one genius in the history of Douluo Continent.

And what about Kong Tianxu? Like Zhang Lexuan, at this moment, only one person was reflected in his eyes.

"Long time no see." Zhang Lexuan stood there and gently mouthed to him, the jade hairpin with the spirit in her hair shimmering with a warm and clear emerald light under the light and shadow.

"Long time no see." Kong Tianxu blinked, a faint smile flitting across his lips.

Xu Tianzhen gripped Kong Tianxu's hand tighter. Cain remained silent, only giving Kong Tianxu a meaningful look.

A third person has appeared.

Kong Tianxu smiled somewhat awkwardly, and then he saw Huo Yuhao.

Uh… it should be Huo Yuhao, right? What happened to this kid? Did he take some kind of drug? No way.

He was truly baffled.

However, for Beibei, when his gaze fell upon a beautiful figure in the white-clad group, the whole world seemed to freeze instantly.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and began to tremble violently uncontrollably. He even had to grab Huo Yuhao's belt next to him to barely keep his balance.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya..."

Only those who know him best know how arduous and almost insane his search for Tang Ya has been all these years.

He never expected that he would see that figure he had been longing for again at the registration site of the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Competition.

Tang Ya's gaze also turned towards them. She seemed somewhat lost in thought, standing there motionless, as if her soul had been emptied.

Beibei moved.

At that moment, he transformed into a reckless wind, carrying five years' worth of pent-up longing, worry, and despair, rushing towards Tang Ya with lightning speed.

How many years has it been? Xiaoya disappeared without a trace shortly after the last competition. Five whole years have passed since then!

The boy had grown into a young man, and the girl had also grown up. Upon seeing her again, Beibei felt her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would explode.

Overwhelmed by a surge of love, he instantly drowned out all reason and composure.

At this moment, Tang Ya was all he could see.

"Xiaoya, my love—!"

In the blink of an eye, Beibei rushed to Tang Ya and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

At the same time, a figure moved with ghostly speed, stepping forward to block Tang Ya's path.

"Get out of my way!" Bei Bei shouted, raising her hand and unleashing a dragon claw crackling with golden lightning, aimed straight at Yan Feng!

Enraged, he recklessly used his strongest Light Holy Dragon half-awakening technique without any regard for the consequences. Now that someone dared to stand between him and Tang Ya, what else could it be but courting death?

Yan Feng let out a sinister laugh, and one of his hands transformed into a golden dragon claw, only more bony, yet incredibly sacred, with a ring of icy blue light shining on it.

Undead creatures?

Sensing the powerful soul energy fluctuations emanating from that bone palm, Huo Yuhao was startled and shouted loudly:

"Senior Brother, watch out!"

Bei Bei heard Huo Yuhao's voice. Under normal circumstances, he would have mobilized all his soul power and carefully defended himself. But at this moment, his emotions were fluctuating too much.

Five years of longing! He was finally reunited with his beloved, who filled every corner of his heart. How could he care about anything else?

"boom--!"

The dragon claw and the bone claw clashed violently. Before Beibei could even be shocked by the immense force coming from the other side, a sweet taste rose in her throat, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

But he ignored everything and, using the force of the impact, continued to lunge forward desperately, wanting only to touch Tang Ya, who was so close yet so far.

But Tang Ya, the lover he missed day and night, even neglecting his cultivation for her.

At this moment, however, he took half a step back.

The next moment, she suddenly raised her head.

Where is there even a trace of joy in those once bright and smiling indigo eyes?

Only indifference, an indifference that feels utterly foreign to us.

Beibei was stunned. All he could see were two empty abysses, and a pang of pain shot through his heart.

Yan Feng was equally surprised by the purity of Bei Bei's soul power, but the gap between a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor was ultimately enormous. Moreover, Bei Bei had lost her composure for a moment.

The next instant, an irresistible force suddenly surged through her chest, and Beibei was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Bright red blood gushed from Beibei's mouth as he flew backward, his entire body enveloped in an icy blue light that was frantically dissipating his life force.

After Huo Yuhao shouted "Senior Brother, be careful!", he seemed to have suddenly heard something and froze for a moment. Xu Sanshi was the first to rush out.

Unfortunately, Bei Bei's defeat was too sudden. Who would have thought that Bei Bei, who was ranked among the top two in strength in the Tang Sect, would not be a match for the person in front of him?

Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement was ultimately a step too late. Seeing Beibei being blasted away, he quickly leaped high and caught Beibei.

Dark, mysterious water surged from his body, enveloping Beibei and desperately resisting the bone-deep, icy-blue light.

The moment the two sides made contact, Xu Sanshi's expression changed slightly. Such powerful soul power!

The soul power that Yan Feng left on Bei Bei was solid and profound, and it also had an incomparably powerful purifying force. Xu Sanshi's own inexhaustible Xuanming power was able to fight against it and was actually defeated step by step.

Fortunately, Bei Bei's cultivation level was not weak. After being attacked, he released his soul power to resist the soul power invading his body to a great extent. Yan Feng only managed to hit Yan Feng's chest through Bei Bei's own arm.

Therefore, although Beibei was seriously injured, her life was not in danger.

The other members of the Tang Clan arrived at Bei Bei's side. Wang Dong'er placed her hands on Bei Bei's shoulders and poured in pure light power. Combined with Xu Sanshi's Xuanming power, they finally dispelled all the icy blue aura.

Beibei's face was terribly pale, and blood was still flowing from his mouth and nose. What hurt him more than the severe physical injuries was Tang Ya's indifference!

"Xiaoya, it's me! It's Beibei! Don't you recognize me?"

He struggled to lift his head, looking at the figure that was once so familiar but now so unfamiliar, his voice hoarse and broken.

Have you decided not to acknowledge them as family?

Kong Tianxu transmitted his gentle mental energy to Tang Ya, and at the same time reached out and gently supported her seemingly upright but actually slightly swaying body.

"In the world of Soul Masters, I am still an evil Soul Master. Even if I return to the Tang Sect, I will only be a burden to Bei Bei and the others. Moreover, I still have many unfinished things to do here."

It's a pity. You underestimated Shrek Academy's thuggishness and shamelessness. Given their style, would they care about a small Iron Blood Sect?

Kong Tianxu smiled inwardly:

"Then let's be even more resolute."

Faced with Beibei's heart-wrenching cries, Tang Ya finally lowered her eyes again and glanced at him.

His eyes remained completely expressionless.

Then, she suddenly turned around and, to everyone's astonishment, threw herself into Kong Tianxu's arms!

Kong Tianxu was also caught off guard by Tang Ya's action, but he maintained his composure and skillfully wrapped his outstretched arm around the girl's delicate body.

Only in this way could Tang Ya's tears and trembling be concealed.

But Beibei knew nothing about any of this.

All he saw was that the lover he had been searching for turned around and threw herself into the arms of the person he least wanted to see after he was seriously injured!

Something inside her suddenly shattered, and Beibei's eyes widened as she spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Xiaoya! You..."

Watching his lover and Kong Tianxu's figures gradually disappear into the distance, Beibei felt as if the world around him was slowly fading away. He seemed unable to hear the various voices calling to him from the outside world, and just stared fixedly at the two of them, who were so closely connected as lovers.

My vision finally went completely blurry.

Goodbye, my love.

Goodbye, my love.

Chapter 271 The One Who Sings My True Name

"Hmph, overestimating yourself."

Yan Feng glanced disdainfully at Bei Bei, who was in tears, and then, ignoring the angry stares of the Shrek Academy members, he dusted off non-existent dust from the corner of his clothes and turned to leave.
