Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"It's definitely worth watching."

Kong Tianxu walked through the crowd with a calm expression, leading everyone to the rest area on the north side. As he passed the Shrek Academy rest area, he smiled slightly at the hostile Shrek Academy members and Ling Luochen, who seemed to have some doubt in her eyes.

The air was fresh today, and he felt good.

In the Shrek Academy rest area, even though they knew that the person opposite them was their opponent, seeing that clear and pure smile, the Shrek Academy members, especially the female students, couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards Kong Tianxu.

Apart from Ma Xiaotao, she sat cross-legged in the rest area as soon as she saw the lottery results, constantly adjusting herself to the best state through meditation. She didn't even open her eyelids when Kong Tianxu passed by.

Beside her, Ling Luochen was also sitting cross-legged, but he was clearly not fully in a meditative state. His originally cold and somewhat pale face had become much rosier, and his breathing was no longer as weak as it had been in the past few days; in fact, it was even more prolonged.

Clearly, after last night, not only were her injuries completely healed, but she also benefited greatly from that piece of whale glue.

However, ever since she saw Kong Tianxu's face clearly, her questioning gaze would always inadvertently drift towards Ma Xiaotao's direction. It wasn't until she accidentally caught a glimpse of Ma Xiaotao's jade-like fingers that she closed her eyes again as if she had been electrocuted, and a distinct blush appeared on her face.

At this point, the host had already started warming up the audience. After a series of rambling remarks to get the audience excited, he shouted in his most impassioned voice:

"Next, please welcome the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent, and their opponents, the Sun Moon Empire's Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, to the waiting area. At the same time, please invite the captains of both teams to come up on stage to determine their competition format."

At Wang Yan's signal, Bei Bei stood up and walked onto the stage. Kong Tianxu also nodded towards Ma Rulong. The two went up to the stage, and amidst a fierce exchange of glances, each held onto a small ball representing a different fighting style, then simultaneously exerted their strength—

It's blue.

The referee shouted loudly:

"Shrek Academy will face Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in a two-two-three battle strategy. Both sides, please begin preparations!"

223?

Kong Tianxu stood up and walked straight towards the competition stage:

"Since it's best two out of three, we just need to secure two wins. The third match is three against three: Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen. Are you three okay with that?"

"Of course!" the three replied in unison.

If a level six Soul Master and two level five Soul Masters with Martial Soul Fusion Skills still can't defeat the half-crippled Shrek Academy, he might as well let Ye Xishui just wipe out the Shrek Academy group.

"Alright, Yin'er, you and Tianzhen will play the second two-on-two match. That way, we can at least win two matches. If things don't go well, don't force it."

“Okay.” Cain looked at him with bright eyes.

He made no mention of the remaining two-on-two match, or how it would proceed in Lan Xiu's absence, but the members of the Sun and Moon team all shared the same answer:

He will sweep the first match with an absolute victory, displaying unparalleled strength.

Two, two, three!

Wang Yan and Huo Yuhao exchanged a surprised glance, then suppressed their excitement and said:

"He really came to fight the first battle alone, as planned! The first match is Yuhao, you and Ling Luochen, and the third match is Xiaotao with Beibei and Xu Sanshi."

"That way, we can win at least two games!"

"Does Shrek Academy really think it's powerless? Yuhao, we'll make him pay for his arrogance."

Ling Luochen stood up, and Huo Yuhao nodded resolutely before following her onto the competition stage.

Shrek finally fielded their starting lineup?

The atmosphere in the audience heated up again, with shouts of "Shrek!" growing louder and louder. Xuanzi, somewhat gloating, explained to Mu En:

"Elder Mu, the girl in the inner courtyard has an ice element martial soul. Yuhao is probably trying to suppress her by amplifying her with his ultimate ice. That kid from the Sun Moon Empire is going to suffer a big fall."

The look of surprise and uncertainty in Moon's eyes deepened, and he slowly shook his head:

"It's probably not that simple."

"Both parties share the same name."

"Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen." Ling Luochen's expression was indifferent.

"Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao's eyes were resolute.

"Kong Tianxu." Kong Tianxu glanced at them, and at the referee's signal, turned around and began to distance himself.

"Are you proud of your martial spirit? I'll show you what a truly powerful martial spirit is!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly shouted.

Kong Tianxu's pace remained unchanged.

Ling Luochen had retreated to the edge of the arena. She stood in front, with Huo Yuhao behind her. Her usually cold expression was now even more frighteningly cold.

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with golden light. His mental detection was quietly activated, and this time the backlash did not reappear. Sensing a scorching wave suddenly appearing beside Kong Tianxu, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Shortly after Ling Luochen left his seat, Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes. She had reached her peak condition, and the boundless fighting spirit in her chest burned her eyes with a dark red hue.

She raised her head and looked at her opponent on the competition stage, then her whole body trembled violently, and her eyes turned pink again.

How could it be him...?

Ma Xiaotao wanted to shout, but looking at the real figure that had appeared countless times in her beautiful fantasies, she ultimately only murmured softly:

"He's not a fire elemental..."

"what?"

Wang Yan, standing next to her, looked at her in confusion, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"The match begins!"

Ling Luochen raised her right hand, and with the flash of her first spirit ring, the Ice Staff appeared in her hand, and five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—emerged behind her.

In contrast, the miraculous three purple and two black flames rose again beneath Kong Tianxu's feet, and the sun's fire that had once terrified countless people blazed fiercely in his right hand.

Who will win between Shrek Academy's elite Soul King and the Sun Moon Empire's genius Soul King? Hundreds of thousands of spectators held their breath.

The surrounding air suddenly became cold.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, closed his eyes, and immediately channeled his ultimate ice soul power into Ling Luochen's body.

Instantly, Ling Luochen's gaze turned cold, and an indescribable aura emanated from her. The next instant, she activated her fifth spirit ring.

The black spirit ring radiated an oppressive light, instantly expanding into an ice-blue halo!

The Ring of Ice!

The referee, who was quickly retreating from the center of the playing field, froze on his feet, and then the unfortunate referee turned into an ice sculpture, remaining motionless in his retreating posture.

That's a Soul Saint level referee! The audience cheered even louder. Shrek Academy was still the invincible Shrek Academy in their hearts!

Beibei's gaze swept over the Sun and Moon team. They remained seated without moving an inch, and their expressions did not change at all.

His heart sank.

The halo quickly spread to Kong Tianxu's front, then suddenly shattered.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and in his mental detection, in addition to the intense heat, there was also a chill.

He was all too familiar with that coldness.

“His attribute is ice.” Ma Xiaotao bit her red lips lightly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Ice?!" The Shrek Academy students, and even the entire audience, exclaimed in unison.

The ultimate ice!

The mental detection system shattered with a deafening roar—

On the other side of the sun's fire, a snowflake drifted down.

An even more astonishing chill swept in!

Chapter 98 Elements, I am the Master!

"Your Majesty, we have suffered heavy losses. The intelligence network in Mingdu will likely be paralyzed for a while, and this is all we will ever know."

"I've raised them for so many years, and all they can do is steal a few soul tools? They can't even handle this small matter properly, they're simply a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

At the top of the imperial city wall, Xu Jiawei reluctantly accepted the blood-stained silk scroll handed to him by the Prime Minister.

"Ultimate ice? And such powerful fire and mental attributes? What kind of martial soul does he have?"

Xuanzi was horrified.

Moon's hands, gripping the armrests tightly, trembled slightly as his suspicion grew clearer.

He also possesses the ultimate form of ice?!

Huo Yuhao was startled as he watched the rapidly rising blizzard, but his confidence returned immediately.

He disregarded the fact that he and Hyotei had just had a big argument over giving away the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue without prior notice, and an urgent cry rang in his mind:

"Hyotei, help me."

Hyotei's two yellow diamond-like eyes were both bright and dim, and she ignored him.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wriggled to her side, seemingly wanting to rub against her body with its tail, but was glared back by the Ice Emperor with a sharp look.

"Hyotei, please help Yuhao, after all—"

It suddenly stopped speaking, its little golden eyes widening in astonishment.

"How dare you harm the Snow Emperor's clan!"

next moment.

Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly turned a clear, emerald green, like two shimmering gems. On his back, the tattoo belonging to the Ice Emperor became incredibly clear and vivid. Yet, at this moment, not a trace of coldness emanated from him.

Two blood-red, 100,000-year soul rings appeared, bursting forth with dazzling red light. Their powerful, primordial aura seemed to freeze the air around Huo Yuhao's body.

Behind him, a scorpion-shaped light and shadow flashed and disappeared.

Huo Yuhao raised his right hand; to be precise, it was Bingdi who controlled Huo Yuhao to raise his right hand.

Faced with the oncoming extreme cold and blizzard, she simply extended one of Huo Yuhao's fingers and gently pointed it forward.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped.

The deep voice, amplified by a pre-prepared soul-guided amplifier, resounded throughout the entire Star Luo Square:

"ice--"

"element!"

As if provoked, an even louder dragon roar, like thunder from the heavens or from time immemorial, resounded from where Kong Tianxu was. The terrifying dragon's might even made the protective shield around the arena, which was set up by 108 soul masters, tremble violently!
