Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators, oblivious to the impending doom, watched with great interest as the continent's top experts clashed. They hadn't expected that after the students finished their fight, there would be a spectacular show of Shrek Academy's titled Douluo personally joining the fray, bare-chested in combat.

"Xuanzi, stop."

At this critical moment, Mu En's voice rang in Xuan Zi's mind, startling him.

However, he was completely unaware that a strange power had entered his spiritual sea at the same time, causing the rotation of his soul core to pause slightly, and the originally concentrated soul power to dissipate.

When Xuanzi came to his senses, he found that Long Xiaoyao's palm strike, which had gathered an unknown amount of soul power, gave people an illusory feeling. He had already tried to dodge, but he was horrified to find that even with the guidance of his Taotie Divine Ox's fighting instincts, he could not dodge this palm strike.

The next moment, Long Xiaoyao placed a palm between Xuanzi's two bull horns.

There was no thunderous collision as expected. The moment the dark palm shadow landed, Xuanzi's powerful aura vanished instantly.

The yellow light receded, and between Xuanzi's spiraling bull horns, the original small ball of white light instantly dissipated. The gradually expanding martial soul possession also quickly faded, and the majestic body staggered back two steps.

On his forehead, a strange orb of light, as black as ink in the center and surrounded by silver light, slowly rotated, and Xuanzi's eyes were also dyed that silver-black.

Then, this level 98 Taotie Douluo, the pillar of strength in the eyes of the Shrek Academy members, and the prospective master of the Sea God Pavilion, fell straight down with his eyes open.

Level 98 against Level 99, a difference of only one level, yet he lost so quickly?

Xu Liuyun pulled his outstretched foot back, and Mu En's eyes also showed surprise and uncertainty. Their breathing was quiet, and they were obviously still processing this fact.

Chapter 128 The Eighth Elder of the Body Sect and Tang San's Scheme

Long Xiaoyao looked at Kong Tianxu in surprise again; the difference between level 98 and level 99 was definitely not that big.

It would be easy to win a battle, but unless it was a life-or-death struggle, even he could not have broken Xuanzi's Taotie power so easily and sealed the opponent's soul core.

Everyone else thought it was because his cultivation was unfathomable, but he saw it clearly—before his palm landed, Xuanzi's attack had already been briefly broken down, and his Dark Holy Dragon power was equivalent to directly facing the Taotie with its gates wide open.

Kong Tianxu nodded slightly to him. Even Long Xiaoyao's spiritual power was only at the same level as his, tangible but intangible. Xuanzi would naturally not exceed this level either.

For him, it was not difficult to briefly influence a Gluttonous Douluo who had not protected his spiritual sea with his soul power using the power of the Holy Spirit Puppet.

"Elder Xuan!"

Ling Luochen and the Shrek Academy members were all shocked. They rushed over, trying to help Xuanzi up, but they could not move an inch under that invisible pressure.

This gluttonous divine bull, as expected of a veteran level 98 powerhouse, after suffering such an attack, gradually regained its senses as its eyes opened and closed, and began to struggle to get up.

Without the protection of his soul power, his cheeks, which had been slapped by Long Xiaoyao, swelled up again, and he was now looking at Long Xiaoyao with a horrified expression.

However, with his soul core sealed, Xuanzi, apart from possessing the formidable physique of a Super Douluo, couldn't really cause any trouble.

"Now, do you realize you were wrong?"

Long Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes, his terrifying aura, like an old dragon turning over, focusing on Xuanzi. Xuanzi groaned and fell to the ground again, darkness creeping into his eyes once more.

"I was wrong."

Xuanzi's face turned pale and then flushed for a while, and his breathing became noticeably heavy. After a long while, he moved his swollen cheeks as if constipated and mumbled something, almost grinding his teeth to powder.

Long Xiaoyao glanced at him sideways, then ignored the Shrek Seven Devils and led Kong Tianxu and the others toward the passage. Reaching the exit, he paused, but didn't turn back. He simply spoke, his cold voice echoing throughout Star Luo Square:

"Taotie Douluo Xuanzi knows he has made a foolish mistake and has already admitted it. If anyone is still confused and wants to cause trouble for Kong Tianxu, they are welcome to have a go with me."

"By the way, my surname is Long and my given name is Xiaoyao."

His voice remained cold and hard, emanating no powerful aura. Yet, these simple words echoed throughout the entire Star Luo Square under the influence of his vast, boundless soul power.

An invisible and intangible dark pressure surged through the space, making it hard for people to breathe.

A threat, this was clearly a blatant threat! Yet still, no one dared to utter a sound.

Including Xu Jiawei, whose expression was both solemn and somewhat relieved, countless people silently extinguished certain inappropriate thoughts in their hearts at this moment.

It wasn't until Kong Tianxu and Long Xiaoyao left Xingluo Square that the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, along with several Title Douluos, regained their ability to move.

With Wang Yan's help, Xuanzi finally managed to stand up slowly. The students were still angry and wanted to fight back, but Wang Yan reached out and stopped them.

"Teacher, are we just going to let it go like this? We..."

Xiao Xiao said indignantly.

"Shut up!"

Wang Yan shouted a stern rebuke, his eyes revealing undisguised shock:

"Do you know who that is? He is the strongest human soul master in the world, perhaps without equal. His title is Dragon Emperor. He is a level 99 Limit Douluo, and together with our Shrek Academy's former number one strongest, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, they are known as the Black and White Twin Sacred Dragons."

"As you just saw, if he really fought, even a level 98 Elder Xuan wouldn't be a match for him. Killing us would be a piece of cake for him. Even if the entire Sea God Pavilion were to gather its power, they might not be able to stop him. Heaven knows why this senior appeared on the Sun Moon Empire's side after the finals."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Shrek team felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies chilled to the bone.

As students of the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, they were extremely proud of their heritage and the strength of the academy's faculty. However, the number ninety-nine had completely overturned their imagination. Even Shrek Academy might not have a Limit Douluo at present!

A level 95 Super Title Douluo has enough cultivation to contend with ten low-level Title Douluos, while a Limit Douluo can easily kill ten ordinary Title Douluos.

Throughout the entire history of Douluo Continent, there have been very few legendary Limit Douluo. The most concentrated period of such occurrences was during the era when Tang San, the Sea God, ascended to godhood.

However, since then, the number of Limit Douluo who have appeared on the Douluo Continent has been very limited, and even if there are any, they are basically all at Shrek Academy.

The fact that Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui were all at the same level of power was a once-in-a-millennium spectacle, and it's no wonder that even the self-proclaimed elite members of Shrek Academy were speechless.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Wang Dong, whose soul power had recovered somewhat, said unwillingly.

Xuanzi, who had led everyone in a dejected retreat, opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he sighed and shook his head, which aggravated his mouth, causing a burning pain.

But he had no time to worry about his injuries now; instead, he was responding to the spiritual message that Moon had previously conveyed to him:

"Elder Mu, are we just going to let that kid return to the Sun Moon Empire like this? Long Xiaoyao is indeed powerful, but you are by no means weaker than him. With you in charge and in alliance with the Star Luo Empire, we have a good chance to intercept him on the way."

"No, Xuanzi, I can go by myself."

"Old Master Mu, but your health..."

“It doesn’t matter. As long as Xiaoyao is still the same Xiaoyao, he will never stop me. Besides… the Dragon God of today is no longer the Dragon God of the past.”

Even though it was a mental transmission, Xuanzi could still hear endless vicissitudes and melancholy in Mu En's seemingly calm words.

Xuanzi, focused on communicating with Mu En, didn't notice the Shrek Academy members' expressions of wanting to laugh but not daring to, or the undisguised excitement of the two brothers from the Body Sect in the audience.

Seeing Xuanzi's cheeks swollen like two huge peaches, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth, Langya and Yutao hugged each other tightly, almost in tears.

It seems that whether you're level 89 or 98, you're all equally miserable in front of a Limit Douluo!

The two embraced and wept for a while, until the figures of Kong Tianxu and the Shrek team disappeared into Xingluo Square. Yu Tao's large, round eyes darted around, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and he said to Lang Ya:

"Second Brother, it seems we've forgotten something."

Langya seemed to suddenly remember something important, and slapped his thigh, saying:

"That's right, we can't waste any more time, we need to report this to the sect leader immediately!"

“Not this,” Yu Tao glanced at him sideways and said in a muffled voice, “You said before that if Kong Tianxu’s spirit is a true form…”

Lang Ya's expression turned serious: "What time is it? You're still thinking about that joke!"

He stared at Yu Tao, curled his lip, and gave him an expression that said, "I knew it would happen," before adding:

"Besides, even if I break my promise, can't we still find a place right now... to do *that*?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tao beamed with joy, patted his belly which was noticeably bulging compared to usual, and gave a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile:

"It's okay, I ate a lot this morning, so I felt it a while ago."

"Get out!"

Langya looked at Yutao, who was approaching with a cheerful expression, and his face showed fear.

……

Spirit world.

The piercing laughter of the God of Destruction as he departed still echoed in his ears. Tang San's face was ashen. He casually waved away the image in the clouds that had made his lips twitch. The shock in his heart was no less than that of the Shrek Academy members.

At his level, especially after gaining control of the divine realm, he could, to a certain extent, foresee a person's general future destiny.

But Kong Tianxu's future is shrouded in mystery.

No, it shouldn't be called a fog; it was nothingness. He gained nothing but endless vastness and emptiness.

What's most terrifying isn't just the unknown aspect of Kong Tianxu, but also his talent, which greatly shocked Tang San.

Even Huo Yuhao, the rising star of the Douluo Continent who had just appeared not long ago and whom he hoped would inherit his Asura God position, he dared to assert that, under the same conditions, Huo Yuhao would absolutely not reach the same or even close level.

But this astonishing genius, whom even he had to admire, happened to be from the Sun Moon Empire and seemed to be at odds with the Tang Sect, which gave him a major headache.

If only we hadn't been in such a rush to send Xiao Qi down to the mortal realm...

Tang San sighed inwardly. In order to ensure that Huo Yuhao's growth path was more favorable to the Tang Sect, he was indeed a bit too hasty. He hadn't even finished weaving the memories before he hastily guided Tang Wutong to the Douluo Continent.

He also deliberately chose the Goddess of Light Butterfly, a martial soul that wasn't particularly top-tier but had its own unique characteristics, based on Huo Yuhao's two martial souls and Ilex's divine qualities. He bestowed it upon his daughter as a neutralizing and balancing force, which resulted in the pseudo-three-life martial soul fusion between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, which seemed like a match made in heaven.

In retrospect, all those schemes have left him in a difficult situation.

Tang San's thoughts drifted, and he even began to consider directly splitting Tang Wutong's spiritual consciousness, but when he thought of the terrifying divine power of the Destruction and Life duo, he reluctantly put away the Trident of the Sea God.

In this kind of situation, he could only let Kong Tianxu take the bait first, and then go with the flow. With the God of Destruction watching, he couldn't actively set a trap for the other party.

Hopefully, Dai Mubai's descendants can do something.

Tang San gazed into the distance at the magnificent sun, but instead of activating his Purple Demon Eye as before—

After learning some secrets about the divine realm, he never practiced this Tang Sect secret technique again.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he let out a soft exclamation:

"This is?"

Chapter 129 Eating Meat and Drinking Soup

After the tiebreaker between Long Xiaoyao and Xuanzi, the enthusiastic atmosphere in Xingluo Square lasted for several hours until tens of thousands of soldiers were dispatched to maintain order, and the boiling crowd gradually dispersed.

In order to alleviate the overcrowding in Xingluo City, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo City announced in public that the final award ceremony would not be open to the public.

As soon as this order was issued, the people of Xingluo City began to leave one after another. After all, most of them were not local residents, and the city's exorbitant prices were already staggering.

There's no good show to watch, so what's the point of staying here?

Because of the stunning performances of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy in the finals, the security force of Star Emperor Hotel was tripled to prevent it from being overly enthusiastic by the crowd.

However, Kong Tianxu's carriage, amidst the lingering clamor, quietly left Xingluo City under the cover of night.
