Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Xu Tianzhen reacted extremely quickly, using another solar projection to teleport himself to an even more distant location, the intense radiance of the sun's divine light shining even more intensely in his hand.

However, Cain, who was the first to be affected, was stunned by the roar of the Black Tortoise once again after the Black Tortoise's displacement. He was then kicked in the lower back by Jiang Nannan, who had teleported there!

At this moment, Cain was completely stalemate under the combined power of Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Roar, a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, and was utterly unable to resist.

Based on Xu Sanshi's assessment of her strength, she wouldn't be able to do anything for at least three seconds. And those three seconds would be enough for him and Jiang Nannan to deal with her; as for Xu Tianzhen, she was even less of a concern.

He had a good plan, until he saw Cain's figure at Jiang Nannan's feet transform into a sky full of golden bat phantoms.

At this moment, Wang Yan finally recognized Cain's martial soul, that top-tier mutated martial soul that only existed in legends—

"Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King! Oh no!"

The dark golden bat shadows reappeared!

This time, there are two!

The black spirit ring that was fourth behind the girl had not yet completely extinguished when the two pairs of eerie green claws pierced into the bodies of Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi respectively!

Jiang Nannan's face turned pale almost instantly. She seemed to want to fight back, but the attack power of Cain's Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, enhanced by its third soul skill, Shadow Strike, was terrifying. With a slight twist, she lost all ability to resist.

"Nan Nan!"

Xu Sanshi's face suddenly turned extremely ferocious. The green light around him changed again, turning into a black current with faint water ripples. On the surface of his Xuanwu Shield, two red lights flashed for a moment, and he got rid of the continued invasion of Cain's Netherworld Power.

Cain struck his target and vanished into thin air, disappearing from sight once more. The hundreds of bat phantoms that had been circling around Jiang Nannan also gradually dissipated.

What kind of ability is this? How can it be so bizarre?

The Shrek team members' expressions turned extremely grim once again. They had thought that Kong Tianxu was already terrifying enough, but this girl was even more troublesome in terms of the strangeness of her fighting style.

Tian Sha Douluo was also astonished. The ability to create clones was not uncommon in the Soul Master world, but clones that could also attack? And even become invisible? Even he had never heard of such a thing!

While everyone else looked on with surprise, Kong Tianxu remained outwardly calm, though he was also slightly astonished.

The fourth soul skill, granted by the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, a being of the same origin and species as Hell Road, combined with the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's powerful innate abilities, resulted in an effect that was surprisingly strong.

However, that's not all.

Xu Sanshi glanced warily at Xu Tianzhen, who remained rooted to the spot, then slowly moved towards Jiang Nannan. Seeing the blood slowly seeping from the girl's abdomen, he moved the Xuanwu Shield aside, ignoring his own injuries, and crouched down, trembling all over.

The dark gold gleam reappears!

Xu Sanshi suddenly turned around, and the Xuanwu Shield had somehow reappeared in his hand. He slammed it down on Cain with immense force!

A sickeningly loud scraping sound rang out, and the moment the two made contact, the Xuanwu Shield actually dented slightly under the terrifying dark golden light.

Xu Sanshi's expression changed, clearly not expecting Cain's attack to be so terrifying, even his Xuanwu, the number one defensive martial soul on the continent, seemed unable to withstand it.

Then I won't block it!

The Xuanwu Shield lit up.

A gentle ripple spread out rapidly. Cain felt as if the Xuanwu Shield, which had been as heavy as a mountain, had softened at this moment, turning into a ball of black water that enveloped her body.

The next instant, the enormous phantom of Xuanwu behind Xu Sanshi seemed to come alive!

Blood flowed down Xu Sanshi's side and into his palms. He loosened his grip on the Xuanwu Shield and coldly stared at Cain, who was trapped in the black light formed by the Xuanwu Shield.

"Goodbye."

Cain's blood-red eyes flickered slightly, and Xu Sanshi seemed to see a hint of mockery on her usually expressionless face.

"You dare to mock me after being hit by my Xuanwu Descent?" Xu Sanshi couldn't help but twitch his lips. He could sense that the other party's martial soul was very powerful, but only about the same as his own, and there was absolutely no possibility of suppressing Xuanwu.

"Stop!" Tian Sha Douluo stepped aside, trying to stop Xu Sanshi's attack.

Just then, the black water that enveloped Cain suddenly turned white, and Cain's pupils, which had turned red due to the possession of his martial spirit, were now tinged with a thick, blood-like color.

It was a blood-red color that seemed to have been soaked in the lives of millions of people; a layer of pale light spread from her body and vanished in an instant.

Despite it being the middle of the day, the surrounding air suddenly became incredibly cold. Facing this little girl whose soul power level was vastly different from his own, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

It was a shiver that came from the very soul, an aura of carnage from a bloodthirsty hell.

A piercing scream that seemed to echo through the soul!

The gradually thinning black water rippled with a snap.

Xu Sanshi groaned and staggered backward, the Xuanwu phantom behind him flashing away after violently twisting.

Xu Tianzhen's long-awaited solar beam arrived with a thunderous roar!

"boom--"

Amidst the crackling sound of flames, Xu Sanshi, with his hair frizzing and blackened from the intense heat and a patch of charred skin on his back, crashed heavily to the ground.

field?!

Huang Jinxu was shocked for the umpteenth time today, but looking at Cain, who had the same calm expression as Kong Tianxu, and Xu Tianzhen, who was skipping and jumping towards Cain, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

In the end, all I could do was wave my hand in frustration:

"The first match of the round-robin tournament, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy versus Shrek Academy, using the 2-2-3 formation, the score is 2-0, the winner is—"

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

Domain, yes, the Domain of the God of Slaughter.

Kong Tianxu greeted Cain and Xu Tianzhen with a smile as they returned.

Chapter 101 First Defeat in Ten Thousand Years, Kong Tianxu Captures Shrek

Aside from the ten-thousand-year-old dark gold three-headed bat king soul ring that matched her origin, as the only person who truly passed the Hell Road test, she did not receive the level five soul power reward like Xu Tianzhen, but rightfully possessed this extraordinary Killing God Domain.

This also subtly confirms a certain conjecture in Kong Tianxu's mind.

However, at this moment, something else is probably more shocking to these people than this field itself.

Kong Tianxu looked towards the stands—

A dead silence.

Shrek Academy lost. For the first time in thousands of years, Shrek lost, and in the very first match of the round-robin tournament, they even lost to their old rival, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

It wasn't a matter of the score in a small match, but rather a complete defeat, a 2-0 loss, a one-against-two defeat by Kong Tianxu, and a crushing defeat by Cain and Xu Tianzhen, whose cultivation and age were clearly inferior to their opponents.

Kong Deming excitedly slapped his thigh with the old man he had been talking to for a long time, unable to hide his joy.

They won! They really won! Although it was just a round-robin tournament, in all these years, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has finally become the first team to defeat Shrek Academy!

The entire Xingluo Square was silent at first, but in the next instant, it erupted into an uproar.

Although many people guessed that Shrek Academy might not be able to defeat the team that Kong Tianxu was in, the second, second, and third battles are a contest of overall strength. How could Shrek Academy be weaker than Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?

When this legendary dream team finally lost the round-robin tournament, the public was filled with disbelief. Losing to Kong Tianxu was one thing, but they were all waiting to see Shrek pull off a miracle of coming back from a 0-1 deficit to win 2-1.

However, no miracle occurred.

Two to zero! Shrek team was actually beaten two to zero! They didn't even make it to the third game!

Immediately, some angry people in the crowd began to shout and curse. The entire Xingluo Square appeared somewhat chaotic.

Moon closed his eyes and remained silent, while Xuanzi paced restlessly back and forth. He couldn't imagine the pressure the Shrek Academy team members were under at that moment.

Xu Jiawei stood at the highest point of the imperial city, the crown on his head casting a shadow, his face, half-lit and half-shadowed, revealing neither joy nor disappointment.

Shrek's rest area.

Everyone still had a look of confusion and disbelief on their faces, except for Wang Dong, who stared blankly at Cain, as if he remembered something but couldn't quite grasp it, and a look of confused pain appeared on his face.

They could hardly believe that the seemingly favorable situation had been reversed in an instant, and the myth of Shrek's undefeated record had been shattered by their own hands. They weren't even given a chance to implement their plans for the third game.

They lost, they lost, they even lost in the second match of this tournament!

The higher you stand, the harder you fall.

The moment the referee announced the Sun and Moon team's victory, Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei rushed onto the stage, helping Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi up respectively. They each took out a pill and fed it to the two, trying their best to use their soul power to help them suppress the gradually expanding injuries in their bodies.

Wang Yan followed closely behind, but since his actual cultivation level was not as high as Bei Bei's, he did not rashly intervene.

Jiang Nannan first glanced at Xu Sanshi with a complicated expression, then said in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes:

"I'm sorry, Professor Wang...we've let the college down."

"Good children, you have done your best, you are all good children."

The roar of the crowd grew stronger and stronger, seemingly deliberately indulged by the Star Luo Empire. Wang Yan clenched his teeth tightly, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

His students had done their best to resist, so as a teacher, he should stand up and do something.

Wang Yan wiped his face hard with his sleeve, as if he had made up his mind, and then strode over to the referee.

He could no longer suppress his emotions; he had to vindicate these respectable and lovable children, and also vindicate Shrek's honor.

He strode up to Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, and whispered a few words. Huang Jinxu glanced at the increasingly uncontrollable surge of waves, nodded to him, and handed his amplifying soul tool to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan took a deep breath and spoke loudly through the amplified soul guide:

"Please everyone quiet down. I am Wang Yan, the teacher in charge of the Shrek Academy team. I have a few words to say."

"What?!"

"What are you talking about? You have absolutely no tactics!"

The atmosphere at Xingluo Square was incredibly lively. As soon as Wang Yan spoke, he received enthusiastic responses from some of the audience.

His face darkened instantly, but he steadied himself, raised his voice, and tried to drown out the shrill sound.

It wasn't until he shouted for the seventh time that the noise in the square subsided slightly, and many people's attention was drawn to Wang Yan, who was in tears.

"Friends, and all the teachers and team members from the participating academies. You all witnessed the match just now. Our Shrek Academy students fought to the bitter end to uphold the honor of our academy. Although we were ultimately unable to win the match, we are still very proud of them..."

"Does this even deserve the money we paid dozens of times more for tickets after getting up before dawn?! Damn it! Refund us!"

He had barely finished speaking when another emotionally charged spectator jumped up and shouted, instantly turning the Xingluo Square, which had just begun to calm down, back into a sea of ​​curses.

Wang Yan's expression was already somewhat distorted. Having been pampered for so long, he had never been subjected to such a barrage of vulgar language. His refined face was flushed red, but he still insisted on continuing:

"I know everyone is probably feeling disappointed or angry right now. But our Shrek team has only played two games so far..."

"It's over! It's over~"

"With the team playing like this, there's absolutely no hope of winning the championship!"

Several audience members, their faces stained with Shrek's poop green, shouted. They were clearly once die-hard Shrek fans, but when their faith crumbled and cracks appeared, they were the ones who suffered the most from the backlash.
