Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Wang Yan clenched his fist, his previously clear thoughts becoming slightly disordered:

"We will go all out in the upcoming round-robin matches. We will also be facing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy later..."

"If you can't even win with a 2-2-3 formation, how can you win later? It's going to be very difficult~"

An old man standing nearby interjected sarcastically, making Kong Deming laugh so hard he almost fell over.

Shrek is awesome!

"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him."

"We are so disappointed!"

The scene was chaotic. Xuanzi's sharp gaze swept across the crowd, trying to intimidate those who spoke rudely to Shrek Academy, but with little effect.

Veins bulged on Wang Yan's forehead as he began shouting at the audience without regard for their safety:

There's a reason we lost! It's because—

“You have lost,” Cain said coldly.

"This is not our true strength at all. We still have regular players who haven't played yet!"

Wang Yan's unfocused gaze finally returned, and he spoke urgently.

"I don't care, you guys lost anyway." Xu Tianzhen made a face at him.

"You have no idea what Shrek's glory is!"

Wang Yan's rationality crumbled, and he even began to speak incoherently.

"But you lost."

Kong Tianxu slowly walked onto the stage and stood between the two women, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"what!"

"Om-"

Wang Yan completely broke down, slamming the megaphone in his hand to the ground. He then jumped off the stage like a madman, about to fight with several spectators. The Shrek Academy members rushed forward and held him back tightly.

The farce only subsided when Huang Jinxu struck him with a single finger, knocking him unconscious.

Ma Xiaotao finally couldn't listen anymore. She abruptly stood up, her back to Jiang Nannan, and as she passed Kong Tianxu, her fists clenched tightly, as if suppressing something, and she said forcefully:

"Perhaps Teacher Wang's strategy was not wrong, but he underestimated you."

"But next time, I will lead Shrek to victory in my own way."

Watching her angry departure, Kong Tianxu's lips curved slightly.

He's very stubborn.

Chapter 102 Divine Purification, Gold of Life

I hope you can still be this stubborn soon.

Kong Tianxu's mind stirred slightly, and he did not continue to mock Shrek Academy, which was already in chaos. The collapse was carried out little by little, and the expected effect had been achieved today. Too much of a good thing would be bad.

With a hint of barely perceptible urgency, he turned and walked back to his own rest area.

"Let's go, our match for today is over."

Meng Hongchen and the others were still basking in the glow of their first victory, each striding forward with their heads held high, drawing envious glances from countless other participating teams.

Xiao Hongchen seemed somewhat absent-minded. He had always believed that among the younger generation, he was undoubtedly the number one person after Kong Tianxu, and Cain's performance today had truly shocked him.

No wonder she never uses her soul skills during sparring matches...

Xiao Hongchen looked thoughtfully in Cain's direction, but was surprised to find that Kong Tianxu's usually calm and steady pace seemed to have quickened slightly today.

Because something he had been longing for had arrived.

……

As the two participating teams left the arena, the security forces deployed by the Star Luo Empire finally began to maintain order. Even so, it took several minutes, and it was only after Huang Jinxu shouted before handing over the referee's position that the excited audience calmed down.

"Elder Mu, why are you stopping me? Do those beasts even speak human language? Shrek Academy has never suffered such humiliation. Even if Xiao Wang is considered a failure among my disciples, we can't just stand by and watch them be bullied, can we? Not to mention Bei Bei and Yu Hao are also in there. How dare they?!"

Xuanzi asked, puzzled, his chest heaving rapidly and abnormally, clearly still recovering from his anger.

"I told you long ago to be mentally prepared for defeat in this competition. This is just a round-robin tournament; what if it's a knockout tournament or even the finals?"

Moon's tone was quite heavy:

"We have been basking in our glory for far too long and have forgotten to look at the changes in the world. Failure is not terrible. I believe in the children and that they will learn a lot from this setback."

"But, that girl with the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years Realm who possesses a domain, and that Kong Tianxu, should I...?"

Xuanzi paused for a moment before speaking again. His usually confident tone became somewhat hesitant when he mentioned Kong Tianxu's name.

There's no other reason than that this child's talent is simply too extraordinary.

"It's alright. We are Shrek Academy, and we must uphold Shrek's principles. That girl has great talent, but I don't see any trace of a Soul Master in her. Perhaps she will become a powerful Soul Master in the future, but she won't be the level 10 Soul Master we are most worried about. With the Soul Master foundation of the Sun Moon Empire, she can't possibly be stronger than our students."

"But I really can't see through this Kong Tianxu. I never thought that my Holy Dragon Martial Soul would be suppressed like this one day. Heh, Silver Dragon Martial Soul."

Moon lowered his voice, as if he was thinking about something.

“Elder Mu, keeping him alive is indeed a major threat to us. Even your Holy Light Dragon is just a branch of his martial soul. He can even suppress Yuhao’s ultimate Ice Jade Scorpion. If we let him grow, no one will be able to control him in the future. I still think we should bring him and that girl back to the academy. At least we can’t leave them to the Sun Moon Empire.”

Xuanzi said unwillingly.

So that's what you meant? Moon gave him a speechless look, then said with a hint of disappointment:

"You've been suppressed by Poison Undying for so many years, how could you forget Yuhao's other martial soul?"

"Even having twin martial souls might not be enough to compensate for Yuhao's lack of talent..."

As Xuanzi spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"You mean, the second awakening of the original martial soul?"

"Yes, it is indeed his main spirit. Although Yuhao's eyes are not the top-tier among main spirits, they are still a very important part of his body. Once he awakens a second time, he could very well reach the Silver level. If he can truly bring out the advantages of his two spirits, and with our full support, defeating the Silver Dragon wouldn't be difficult. And his second spirit..."

Moon's tone was deep and thoughtful, as if he were savoring something, but he didn't continue. Instead, he looked up at something.

"As for today's events, I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives is stirring things up."

At the very front of the imperial city wall, Xu Jiawei's figure had already disappeared.

"Your Majesty, Shrek Academy may not be too pleased with our actions today."

The Prime Minister, still dressed in a red python robe, spoke respectfully.

"Shrek Academy claims to be the regulator of the continent, so I'm not the only one who's unhappy about it."

Xu Jiawei smiled and slowly walked down from the city wall, then looked at Huang Jinxu beside him and asked:

"Your Majesty, what do you think of those two young men?"

“Your Majesty, Kong Tianxu is indeed very strong, especially the elemental silver dragon he unleashed, which even contained a certain amount of the power of the sun and moon. My attribute defense soul skill was completely ineffective.”

"Fortunately, the star power can still effectively resist his power. As for that little girl, although she is not as strong as Kong Tianxu, her methods are quite strange. The power of that domain even makes me tremble with fear."

Without asking, Huang Jinxu knew who Xu Jiawei was talking about.

"Domain... I know that kid surnamed Xu. His Xuanwu Martial Soul is quite powerful, and this domain is indeed extraordinary."

"As for star power,"

Xu Jiawei smiled gently at his younger sister, who was insisting on coming to watch the game:

"Jiujiu, it seems you do have a chance."

……

Sensing the sharp and fierce aura that still emanated from the heavily concealed object, Kong Tianxu slowly opened the ancient black box in front of him.

A carving knife, about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger, lay quietly inside. He picked up the Soul-Devouring Blade and flicked it lightly. Instantly, a series of tremors echoed across the dark blade surface amidst the ancient and somber patterns, and it seemed that a faint wisp of blue energy was floating on the surface of the blade.

The gold of life is finally in my hands.

Taking a deep breath to calm his slightly excited emotions, Kong Tianxu first gave Ye Xishui an order to protect him, and then separated a wisp of spiritual power and gently placed it on the Soul-Devouring Blade.

The moment they made contact, Kong Tianxu frowned. He felt his vision suddenly darken, and the Soul-Devouring Blade seemed to have turned into an endless black hole, frantically devouring his spiritual power.

Moreover, an extremely cold and sinister aura, accompanied by a terrifyingly fierce energy, directly sliced ​​the not-so-weak spiritual power in two, and then rushed towards his sea of ​​consciousness along the path of the spiritual power's extension.

Kong Tianxu snorted coldly.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly shone with a brilliant white light, and within the lustrous white light, there were also bursts of intense golden halos.

The fierce energy that attempted to rush into the sea of ​​consciousness bounced back as if it had struck an impenetrable wall. The blade itself emitted a mournful hum, and the azure light it had just emitted was completely dissipated as it trembled slightly.

His spiritual power is at the realm of tangible yet intangible. Even if the evil soul master who left the curse back then was a titled Douluo, his spiritual power would likely be weaker than his, let alone the evil thoughts and curse he left behind.

Now that we've figured out the exact strength of this thing, the next step is purification.

The next moment, the already dazzling white eyes blazed even brighter!

A holy radiance began to waft around Kong Tianxu. In the soft golden light, the spiral that seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe reappeared behind him, with six tentacles extending and countless boundless and deep eyes opening almost simultaneously!

Two beams of white light shot out as if they were tangible objects, landing directly on the carving knife.

Instantly, the Soul-Devouring Blade trembled violently, and a series of humming sounds, like mournful screams, accompanied by strong mental fluctuations, emanated from the carving blade.

The Soul-Devouring Blade trembled violently, emitting shrill cries, and intense mental fluctuations spread outwards. A dense azure light erupted from the blade, condensing into a hideous ghost face in the air, assuming a frenzied roaring posture, seemingly about to tear at Kong Tianxu.

In the name of the Holy Spirit—

As Kong Tianxu chanted, the color of his eyes changed again. The previous white gradually turned into platinum gold. The white was flawless, pure as jade, and white as snow. The brilliant gold was filled with a solemn and sacred meaning that made people bow down in worship.

That white spiritual energy instantly transformed into this sacred light of purification.

The moment the狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face in the azure light touched it, half of it immediately blurred, its previously monstrous appearance becoming indistinct. From within the azure light, wisps of black energy evaporated and disappeared under the purifying light. Meanwhile, the azure light on the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade began to become increasingly pure and gentle.

The purification process was brief. Soon, the last wisp of black energy on the Soul-Devouring Blade vanished, and the azure light emanating from its body became as clear as water, without a trace of impurity. The originally dark body of the carving blade transformed into something resembling azure crystal.

It's done! At this moment, the carving knife is no longer the Soul-Devouring Blade, but has returned to its original form, representing the treasure of heaven and earth of an entire world—the Gold of Life.

Kong Tianxu held it in his palm, and a warm, moist aura immediately wafted over him. A rich life force surged through his limbs and bones like a tide, and it felt as if every pore of his body was greedily breathing.

The originally solidified blood-red killing intent immediately weakened. This brief contact was already more effective than all his attempts over the past few days combined. Although it was still a drop in the ocean, it was only the first contact.

What incredible vitality!
