Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

As they walked back amidst the jeers of countless spectators, their hearts heavy with sorrow, a figure suddenly darted out from the waiting area.

He was draped in a pink gauze dress, which was clearly women's clothing, but his figure was clearly male, with rotten teeth, a bald head, and yellowish hair.

Isn't this a tall building? Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed.

The camera, broadcasting live from the soul-guided device, clearly wouldn't miss such a dramatic scene. It quickly zoomed in on the tall building, clearly showing his disheveled appearance to every viewer.

As Gao Lou ran, he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Mr. Bei! Mr. Bei—!"

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened suddenly.

Almost instinctively, he grabbed Gao Lou's collar, lifted him up, and asked in a low voice:

"Senior Brother? What happened to him? Tell me quickly!"

Gao Lou was choked so hard his eyes rolled back, and he gasped for breath for a while before he could catch his breath. His eyes were filled with terror, yet he looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of hesitation. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Speak quickly!"

Huo Yuhao practically shouted it out.

Gao Lou finally spoke, his voice trembling:

"Mr. Bei..."

He paused, took a deep breath, and then, as if he were going all out, finished speaking in one breath:

"He was arrested for soliciting prostitution!"

Huo Yuhao loosened his grip.

With a thud, Gao Lou was put down heavily, landing on his bottom and wincing in pain.

Zhang Lexuan stood not far away, her mouth agape, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, the audience members who were still discussing Shrek's act of admitting defeat fell silent.

The entire stadium seemed to fall silent instantly.

Countless people perked up their ears.

For most of them, the fact that Shrek Academy members were soliciting prostitutes was far more sensational than Shrek Academy admitting defeat to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Senior Brother...got arrested for soliciting prostitution...

Huo Yuhao could understand each of the three words individually, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand their meaning at all.

it's dark.

He felt a sudden dizziness, and everything in front of him began to spin.

Fortunately, Xu Sanshi reacted quickly and caught him, preventing him from falling.

"Yuhao!"

"take me……"

"what?"

"Take me to the people who captured Senior Brother!"

Another farce is about to unfold.

On the high platform, Kong Tianxu stood up and patted off non-existent dust from his body.

"When they come to ransom us, don't make things difficult for them, but make sure to expose this. Let's go."

The Holy Spirit Cult members behind him all stood up.

Kong Tianxu glanced one last time at the chaotic Shrek Academy students below the stage, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

The real show is just beginning.

……

"Your Majesty, Alliance Leader Nangong Wan has reported that he has discovered an excellent talent in the recent minor competition involving soul tools and invites you to attend the final match."

"Okay, I understand." Kong Tianxu hung up the call.

"Nangong Wan? That sounds like a woman's name."

A jade-like arm emerged from the blankets, its skin as white as jade and its texture as smooth as cream, gleaming alluringly in the dim light.

Xu Tianzhen revealed her eyes.

"Are you jealous?" Kong Tianxu kissed her forehead, which was damp with a light sweat.

"Hmph! Woo~ Tianxu, how come you're so skilled?" Xu Tianzhen snorted, but quickly became clingy again, responding enthusiastically. She murmured softly, "If we really encounter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the finals, you're not allowed to go easy on them, okay?"

"We'll see when the time comes."

Kong Tianxu gently embraced her, but did not go any further.

……

The final round of the round-robin tournament has concluded.

The emergence of the top eight also signifies that this year's All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has entered its final decisive stage.

Of all the teams that qualified, the four that finished first in their groups were—

Holy Spirit Team, Sun and Moon Team, Mingyu Sect, and Mingdu Soul Master Academy.

All four groups that came first were from forces within the Sun Moon Empire.

This result left countless viewers who were originally fans of the Three Kingdoms period with mixed feelings.

Meanwhile, to everyone's great surprise, the Snow Demon Sect, which was the embodiment of the Body Sect, surprisingly chose to concede defeat when facing the Bright Jade Sect, which only had one Soul Emperor. This surprised many people.

Of course, Kong Tangyu was very happy.

The top eight teams have been determined, and the tournament will take a two-day break.

Two days later, the quarterfinals will officially begin. The quarterfinals will conclude in just one day. After a two-day break, the semifinals will begin. Following the semifinals, another two-day break will take place for the final.

At that time, this competition will also come to an end.

As the competition progressed, the number of teams staying at the Mingyue Hotel dwindled. Most of the teams that had finished their matches chose to leave. After all, for them, this place was a place of heartbreak.

Of course, some will choose to stay and watch the competition. This is also a rare opportunity to observe the clashes of top players up close and learn their tactics and skills.

But soon they will realize that curiosity really can kill the cat.

The draw ceremony was held on the first day of rest before the quarterfinals began.

The four group winners will come to the stage and draw lots to divide them into upper and lower brackets. Then, each group winner will draw one of the group runners-up teams. The only rule is that teams that were previously in the same group in the round-robin stage will not be drawn.

The opponents drawn will be the quarterfinal opponents.

After the group stage, the two winning teams from the top eight in each half of the bracket will compete in the semifinals. The winners will then advance to the final.

Surprisingly, Beibei, who had just been embroiled in a sex scandal, appeared at the lottery drawing as if she had recovered from her injury.

He looked extremely haggard, with sunken eyes and a pale face, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

This Mr. Bei has contributed the biggest news in Mingdu recently, and his popularity has even slightly overshadowed the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.

The reason is simple: a reclusive powerhouse who wished to remain anonymous revealed that Bei Bei is a descendant of Mu En, the former supreme authority of Shrek Academy, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the Dragon God Douluo.

This kind of news is so sensitive to the public that it spreads like wildfire through the crowd.

Some people didn't believe it, but the pictures and captions were enough to prove it.

Public opinion was already unfavorable to Shrek, and this incident caused an even bigger uproar.

It takes real mental and physical strength for Beibei to be able to appear at the lottery ceremony, but judging from the fact that his hands were still shaking when he drew the lots, he must have been traumatized by the experience.

The final draw resulted in the Holy Spirit Church being placed in the upper half of the draw.

Teams in the same area also include the Snow Demon Sect, Star Luo National Academy, and—

Shrek Academy.

The final might happen sooner than expected.

The day of the quarterfinals has finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the entire capital city was bustling with activity. Before dawn, large numbers of people had already poured out of the city, hoping to secure a good spot to watch the game.

According to the competition rules, the matches in the upper bracket will be held in the morning, and the matches in the lower bracket will be held in the afternoon.

As the first rays of dawn appeared in the east, teams representing the strongest of the younger generation marched out of the city, protected by human walls of soldiers.

The weather in Mingdu has been quite chilly lately, but today's sunshine easily brings a good mood.

Being in the upper half of the bracket, the Holy Spirit Cult will undoubtedly be the first to appear.

Upon entering the arena, Kong Tianxu stepped forward without hesitation, walking past the waiting areas of Mingdu Soul Master Academy, Xingluo National Academy, Mingyu Sect, Tianlong Gate, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Snow Demon Sect, and Shrek Academy.

Standing proudly on the competition stage.

He was clearly standing there all alone, yet he seemed to be at the heart of everything. Everyone's eyes were on him, including Xu Jiujiu, Wang Qiu'er, and the members of the other eight teams.

As if following in his footsteps, Long Aotian got up and led the six members of the Body Sect onto the competition stage in the direction he had walked. Before going up the stage, the landing point of each step was exactly the same.

"Now, am I qualified?"

The intense flames in Long Aotian's eyes were gone, replaced by a sense of harmony, a harmony so strong it was almost overflowing.

"That's enough," Kong Tianxu said calmly.

Chapter 305 A Celestial Being Touches My Head

Long Aotian stood on the competition stage, no more than twenty meters away from Kong Tianxu.

For Soul Masters of their level, this distance is merely a matter of a single breath.

"Please go all out, without using your soul tool. I want to see just how big the gap is between us."

Long Aotian took a deep breath, stretched out his arms, palms facing outwards, as if embracing the entire world, and swung them in a large circle in front of him.

The next moment, humanity and nature became one.

That harmonious aura instantly erupted from him! He stood there, yet seemed to merge with the entire universe. The wind, the sunlight, the air—everything was at his disposal. He was no longer an individual independent of heaven and earth, but had become a part of it.
