Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Wang Qiu'er nodded happily.

"No."

"Why should I? That's mine!"

"Didn't you consider the feelings of the Golden Dragon Spear?"

"What could it possibly feel?" Wang Qiu'er asked, her eyes wide.

“You’re objectifying the Dragon Spear,” Kong Tianxu said earnestly. “I have a feeling it won’t be happy with you. Let it go; it’s better for both of you.”

"By the way, be mindful of your appearance."

That's utter nonsense about objectification; it's just a rib!

Wang Qiu'er was so choked that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Just as she was about to raise her fist, she caught sight of the dumbfounded looks on Huo Yuhao's and the others' faces not far away.

She immediately deflated.

In fact, it wasn't just the Shrek group. As one of the most popular contestants in this competition, Wang Qiu'er's signature pink and blue wavy hair and outfit had already given away her identity with her exaggerated movements.

To outsiders, her previous actions were nothing more than intimate gestures.

Poking the lower back, pounding, whispering close...

The dreams of countless young men shattered in an instant. Dai Huabin, in particular, was vacant, his eyes lifeless, and he suddenly lost his sense of direction in life.

Meanwhile, the spectators in the stands, who were always eager for a good show, were naturally discussing the matter with even greater enthusiasm.

Needless to say, the number of jokes about the Golden Dragon Girl and the Supreme Dragon will explode again tonight.

Unfortunately, although Kong Tianxu provided most of the audience with a topic that sparked much discussion, he still did not play in this match.

This means that the most anticipated episode of the "One Against Seven" series, which the audience was eagerly awaiting, will not be seen again.

A collective sigh of regret immediately filled the stands.

However, most of the participating teams, including the Shrek team, became even more serious.

Because the figure who emerged from the Holy Spirit Church's waiting area was someone who had never played in this competition before.

Cain.

“She was already a Soul Master during the last competition. Five years have passed. According to the common cultivation methods of the Sun Moon Empire and her extremely rare and powerful Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King Martial Soul, she is probably already a Soul Emperor. She is much stronger than that Soul King Nan Qiuqiu with the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul and the Soul Emperor Wang Xiaolei with an unknown Martial Soul.”

Covered in layers of clothing, Xu Sanshi scratched his chest uncomfortably.

After so many years of cultivation, apart from freaks like Kong Tianxu who are completely unpredictable, Cain is the first among Soul Masters of the same level to directly break through his Eternal Defense.

Moreover, it was broken open by force with the purest form of attack power.

To be honest, he wasn't very confident if they faced each other again.

"I don't think so. Have you forgotten what Teacher Wang Yan said? Can those students from the outside academies compare to our Shrek Seven Devils? Not to mention those sickly pampered students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who might still be stuck at the fifth ring."

Jiang Nannan added casually that she was also a Soul Master back then, and five years later, she's still a Soul King, isn't she?

That's what I meant...

The Tang Clan members fell silent for a moment, and Huo Yuhao remained silent. He simply stared at the white figure on the stage, his brows slightly furrowed.

On the other side, on the podium.

Jing Hongchen and Xu Tianran were also whispering to each other, their gazes also fixed on that figure.

The figure, dressed in the same white robe as Kong Tianxu, moved with a lightness that seemed weightless, gracefully landing on the competition stage. The hood fell away, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

On the side of the Proud Sword Sect, the first to appear was a tall young man.

He was dressed in a light blue outfit and was well over 1.8 meters tall. Although he was definitely under twenty years old, he gave off a mature vibe. He had broad shoulders and a wide back, and his arms were particularly long, especially his hands, which were thick and his fingers were long and sturdy.

These are hands that hold a sword.

"Both parties share the same name."

"The Holy Spirit Cult, Cain."

"The Sword Sect, Kris Wu."

Kong Tianxu, sitting in the stands, felt a surge of joy.

He hadn't revealed the slightest flaw, and even Xu Tianzhen, who was standing next to him, hadn't noticed anything unusual, but Wang Qiu'er gave him a strange look.

Then, as if remembering something, she poked him again.

"Golden Dragon Spear".

"Let's watch the game first."

Kong Tianxu remained expressionless.

No, not at all.

On the competition stage, Kris Wu also felt that he was not relaxed at all. Although there was no special aura coming from Cain, he clearly felt a violent tremor in his sword heart after Zheng Zhan announced the start of the competition.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, extended his right index and middle fingers, brought them together, and pointed them in front of him.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle rang out, and a long, thick, cyan greatsword appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of him.

Six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—appeared, but not on Kris Wu; instead, they appeared on the giant sword.

Being a member of the Proud Sword Sect, his martial spirit is naturally a sword, level 63, the Azure Steel Sword.

Kris Wu leaned forward, his long, strong right hand gripping the sword hilt, his spirit rings gleaming. The thick, blue steel sword suddenly became crystal clear, its blade as bright as water.

Through the mirror-like blade, he saw a glimmer of red light—

The red glow emanating from Cain.

In the next instant, seven spirit rings suddenly bloomed on Cain's body!

Two yellows, one purple, three blacks, and one red.

That dazzling red shimmered in the sunlight, like a burning flame, searing everyone's eyes.

Seven rings, and another Soul Saint! Moreover, a Soul Saint with a seventh Soul Ring after 100,000 years of cultivation!

The entire venue erupted in cheers, with Long Aotian and Xiao Hongchen reacting the most, practically blurting out:

"impossible!"

The atmosphere in Shrek's waiting area froze instantly.

A 100,000-year soul ring...

For ordinary Soul Masters, it was a legendary dream, something unattainable. Even for prodigies like the Shrek Seven Devils, obtaining a 100,000-year Soul Ring was an incredibly difficult task.

And the Holy Spirit Cult has already seen a second one emerge.

Kong Tianxu is difficult enough to deal with, let alone a Soul Saint? Huo Yuhao was rapidly thinking of a solution.

Could it be... really seven against one?

On the platform, Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on that red color, which lingered for a long time.

Kris Wu was clearly also affected by that 100,000-year soul ring, and his second step was momentarily disordered.

But he was, after all, the strongest of the younger generation of the Proud Sword Sect. He quickly adjusted himself when he landed on the second step, holding the sword with both hands, his body and sword becoming one!

With a soft "hum," the steel sword suddenly doubled in size, transforming into a giant sword four meters long. As it soared upwards, a blinding sword light burst forth.

The longsword emitted a three-foot-long sword light, shattering the air in front of it, with a black spatial rift always visible at the tip.

Fifth Soul Skill, Azure Steel Divine Sword. This is a rare weapon-type Soul Skill that amplifies the Soul Skill itself, similar to a beast-type Soul Skill.

The cyan greatsword, carrying a chilling sword intent, pierced straight towards Cain. The massive sword, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, finally helped Kris Wu regain some of the upper hand in terms of momentum.

Faced with Kris Wu's imposing attack, Cain stood there, motionless, his face expressionless.

She first raised her left hand.

Her fingers were long and slender, as white as jade. Even through the imperfect display on the soul-guided screen, one could still feel her pure beauty.

The next moment, beauty turned into grotesque horror.

Suddenly, five dark golden rays of light extended from Cain's fair left palm and five fingers!

These five beams of light were about seventeen inches long, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, like blades. The dark golden light rippled like water, and the air seemed to murmur softly the moment they appeared.

Cain's entire left hand had turned dark gold. The wounds at her fingertips healed rapidly, and her fingers became one with the blades, as if the five blades were extensions of her fingers.

She waved it gently.

A massive, dark golden claw appeared out of nowhere, its shadow stretching over ten meters long as it swept through the air, leaving behind black slits as it tore through the air.

Amidst the ear-piercing tearing sound, a terrifying aura of slaughter swept over us!

"What kind of soul skill is this?" someone exclaimed.

"This belongs to Black Left Douluo..." The old man, dressed simply but without any regard for appearances, stared wide-eyed as he ate a hamburger.

"Dark Gold Terror Claw?!" Wang Qiu'er was all too familiar with it!

The dark gold claws tore through the air and collided violently with the cyan sword light!

That sharp sword energy, powerful enough to split stone tablets, was torn to shreds by the five claws as if it were made of paper. The claw shadows, still powerful, rushed straight towards Kris Wu's body!

Faced with those terrifying claws that gleamed with intense light and whose sharp aura seemed to tear everything apart, how could Kris Wu dare to take them head-on?

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, a pair of metal wings suddenly unfurled from his back, and four beams of light shot out instantly, propelling his body upwards. He narrowly avoided the dark golden claw shadow.

But when he raised the steel sword again, he was horrified to find five clear claw marks on the blade of his prized steel sword.

The dark gold claw slammed directly onto the arena floor.

Without a sound, five huge cuts, each ten meters long, appeared on the ground instantly, leaving five deep trenches.

Huo Yuhao's breathing suddenly became heavy.

This is the soul bone he deserves!

Cain moved his left hand again.

Kris Wu visibly trembled, and his body jerked suddenly.

After Cainian disappeared, a faint blue light descended from the sky.

What a ray of light it was! Azure, clear, and vibrantly green. It seemed to fall gently, like a light feather.
