Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"Shameless!"

"Get out of Mingdu!"

"To pull such a low-down stunt on the home turf of the Sun Moon Empire? What does Shrek Academy take this competition for? What do they take the dignity of our Sun Moon Empire for?!"

The criticism grew louder and louder, with some even questioning whether Shrek's past records were inflated. Those victories that once amazed countless people were now shrouded in shadow.

"So you were telling me not to be biased, but you're just hiding something." Zheng Zhan shook his head in disgust.

"I!……"

For a moment, Wang Dong'er felt as if her whole body was burning up. The disdainful gazes of countless people, especially Zheng Zhan, were like two red-hot iron nails driven into her body.

Her face burned, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

Zheng Zhan frowned and stopped looking at Wang Dong'er. Ye Nongfeng, who was standing to the side, spoke up at the right time: "Referee, shouldn't they be punished?"

When Zheng Zhan looked at Ye Nongfeng, his gaze softened considerably.

This young man's soul guidance talent is indeed quite good. He also demonstrated sufficient strength and wisdom in the battle just now. He still admires Ye Nongfeng.

Nodding, Zheng Zhan recalled the rules and prepared to announce the verdict on Shrek Academy's violation:

"This referee declares that, given Shrek Academy's member Wang Dong'er's unauthorized use of a fixed-installation soul tool in this match, a serious offense, according to regulations, Shrek Academy is hereby disqualified from this Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament—"

In the audience, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but frown.

She knew that although she had largely delegated authority to Huo Yuhao and the others in accordance with Xuanzi's instructions, she still had to take responsibility for the Tang Clan's decision to cheat, regardless of whether she was aware of it.

She took a deep breath, about to speak—

"referee!"

Wang Dong'er's voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Dong'er's face was flushed, tears still streaming down her cheeks. She shouted with all her might:

"This was my personal decision! I was out of my mind and used the fixed soul tool in a moment of panic! It has nothing to do with the rest of the Shrek Academy team! I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Wang Dong'er in surprise. Although it was of no use, the other party's willingness to take the initiative to take responsibility in such an emergency was still commendable.

At least, she didn't shirk responsibility.

For a time, Wang Dong'er's behavior changed Zhang Lexuan's opinion of the Tang Clan.

From below the stage, Huo Yuhao felt as if his heart was being torn apart watching Wang Dong'er standing on the stage, being condemned by everyone.

He longed to rush forward and take all the blame for her, to tell everyone that he designed the tactic, that he made the decision, and that she was just following his orders.

But he can't.

Because he knew that the only thing he could do at that moment was to remain silent; only in this way could he salvage the situation as much as possible.

On the platform, the figures moved slightly.

On the stage, Zheng Zhan frowned as he looked at Wang Dong'er. Then, as if he had suddenly received some instruction, he first looked in the direction of Xu Tianran on the podium, and then seemed to look strangely at the location of the Holy Spirit Church.

There are actually two groups of people who want Shrek to continue the competition?

He withdrew his gaze and finally announced:

"His Highness the Regent, considering Shrek Academy's past glory and reputation, and taking into account that this is a first offense and an individual act, will not punish the Shrek team as a whole this time."

Some were surprised, some were dissatisfied, and some seemed thoughtful.

Zheng Zhan's voice continued:

"However, Wang Dong'er is suspended for this competition! She has also been disqualified from her first match!"

His gaze swept across the entire room, and his tone suddenly became stern:

"The competition continues. Anyone who dares to commit another foul, hmph, don't blame this referee for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, but then glanced at the podium with a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

In that direction sat a familiar figure.

Orange, was it you who pleaded for me?

I'm sorry, it's impossible for us.

He silently said to himself, then looked away and was about to follow Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao to greet Wang Dong'er when Xu Sanshi suddenly grabbed him and pointed subtly at his eyes.

My mental detection isn't turned off yet!

Huo Yuhao quickly lowered his head. He had been so nervous and engrossed that he had completely forgotten about it.

He quickly looked around, his heart pounding.

In the audience, everyone was focused on Wang Dong'er and the whole controversy, and it seemed that no one noticed him.

Huo Yuhao then realized that the person behind him was soaked with cold sweat.

Thankfully, thankfully, my mental power wasn't detected.

He calmed himself down, then turned to the crowd and said in a low voice:

"Let's admit defeat."

however--

"Only a coward like you would admit defeat!"

A tiger roared.

Before he could react, a figure swept past him like a furious tiger, leaping onto the competition stage.

Dai Huabin!

Huo Yuhao's face instantly turned ugly.

It wasn't just because Wang Dong'er's mournful sobs were still echoing in his ears, but also because, on the Sun and Moon team's side, Xiao Hongchen was taking the stage.

Chapter 303 The Golden Toad Cannon Execution, The Tiger Dies and Laughs in the Mortal World

Xiao Hongchen flaunted his short hair at the camera, blew a few kisses to the audience, and put on a smile that he thought was enough to charm countless girls. Only then did he turn his gaze back to his opponent with satisfaction.

They were quite spirited.

The rest of the Shrek Second Team members in the audience all looked unconvinced.

They don't seem to think they're bound to lose to the Sun and Moon team.

Even if Wang Dong'er is suspended, even if she loses the first match of the individual competition, so what?

Shrek, even if you're going to lose, you'll lose standing up!

On the stage, Dai Huabin strode over.

As he got closer, Xiao Hongchen could clearly hear the crackling sounds emanating from his bones, like popping beans.

Xiao Hongchen looked at him and asked with concern:

"Did you break a bone? Should we go back and see the Shrek Academy doctor first? And maybe bring some external devices with you before the match? It wouldn't be honorable for us to win that way."

Dai Huabin's cold gaze suddenly flashed with a chilling light, and his murderous aura instantly surged with a thick, violent intent.

But Zheng Zhan's sharp gaze immediately swept over.

Do you dare to try it?

Dai Huabin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, his chest heaving violently.

Xiao Hongchen shrugged helplessly.

"Both sides prepare."

Dai Huabin coldly declared, "You must die today."

Xiao Hongchen didn't back down at all: "The worse the food, the more I like to order it."

"Game start!"

At Zheng Zhan's command, Dai Huabin did not act arrogantly like Wang Dong'er had before. Instead, he immediately let out a tiger's roar and began to release his own soul skill.

His body suddenly swelled, and a powerful white light surged forth from within. In an instant, he had grown into an extremely robust giant, over two and a half meters tall. His powerful muscles bulged high, each muscle containing explosive power. The white fur covering his body shimmered with a dazzling golden light, complementing his black markings, exuding the formidable aura of a king of beasts.

Two golden tiger claws shot out like sharp blades. He simultaneously used the three most powerful transformations of the White Tiger Martial Soul lineage: the first soul skill White Tiger Protective Barrier, the third soul skill White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and the fifth soul skill White Tiger Demon God Transformation. This allowed him to raise his strength to its limit in just a few breaths.

A powerful aura filled with ferocity emanated from him, and with another roar to the sky, Dai Huabin's momentum reached new heights, his sinister eyes fixed on Xiao Hongchen.

But at that moment, he was dumbfounded.

His soul skill had just been released, and the entire time, including his previous roar, was only two seconds.

But what did he see?

A massive, dark gold cannon.

The massive cannon, with a muzzle diameter exceeding one meter, stood straight and dark, pointing directly at him. Around this giant cannon, seven perfectly matched soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—shone brilliantly.

The last and darkest of the seven spirit rings was gleaming with an indescribable, intense light.

Seven rings, Soul Saint, yet another Soul Saint!

Dai Huabin's eyes widened in surprise.

Just as he was working hard to gather his own soul power and bring the White Tiger Martial Soul to its peak state, Xiao Hongchen, the Soul Saint of the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, had already released his true Martial Soul form!

At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind—

Wasn't it supposed to be a three-legged toad? Why is his true martial spirit form a cannon?

The cannon suddenly lit up, and an extremely intense golden light shot out, instantly engulfing the unsuspecting Dai Huabin!

White Tiger Protective Barrier, broken!

White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Break!

White Tiger Demon God Transformation, Break!

As a standard top-tier martial soul, the White Tiger martial soul boasts above-average strength, defense, speed, and ranged attack capabilities. This well-rounded configuration is advantageous when facing opponents of similar overall strength. However, when facing Xiao Hongchen, whose cultivation far surpasses his own and who is severely unbalanced in certain areas, this all-around strength proves utterly inadequate.

The three amplification soul skills were crushed into their original form by the torrent of golden light. Dai Huabin only had time to raise his tiger paws in front of him, crossing them into a cross to protect his head and face, before he was sent flying by the huge impact!

"boom--!"
