In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Davis was blasted away, following in the footsteps of the top five members of the Star Luo Empire. He left a dazzling blue arc in the air, and like a kite with a broken string, he crashed heavily to the ground, his eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, his blond hair standing on end and charred black, his body convulsing, with faint arcs of lightning flashing around him.

Just then, the blue lotus that Lan Si had thrown into the air earlier landed. Lan Si raised his hand, easily caught it, and then put it into his body.

"This...how is this possible?" In the Shrek Academy rest area, Dai Mubai, who had been relieved that Shrek Academy was not facing off against the Star Luo Academy's lineup, could not control his emotions and shouted excitedly.

Davis lost.

Moreover, they lost even when their side had six Soul Masters and one Soul Venerable who was close to level 40.

They were utterly defeated; they didn't even have time to use their soul skills before they were defeated.

Not only that, Lan Si also revealed his second martial soul, which means that even Lan Si's only weakness, which is not a weakness, has now been made up.

Could I possibly defeat such a powerful being in my lifetime?

Or rather, was it worth it to make enemies with Zhu Zhuqing, the fiancée he had once abandoned?

Yu Xiaogang also regretted it. He hated himself for not investigating why Lan Si was able to raise his soul power from level five to level ten in just three months after he 'judged' that Tang San had twin martial souls.

If he had been more careful in his judgment back then, and had obtained a better first spirit ring for Lan Si, then Lan Si would very likely be his disciple now. And he would be the teacher of two people with twin martial spirits.

In the future, when the Soul Master community discusses the two geniuses Lan Si and Tang San, they will all remember that they were taught by Master Yu Xiaogang.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?

How did things come to this, neither human nor ghost?

Ma Hongjun, standing to the side, swallowed hard and voiced the thoughts of the Shrek Academy members: "We didn't expect this monster to have twin martial souls, just like Third Brother. Can we still defeat such a powerful being?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, looking down at each other, and finally, without prior arrangement, turned their gazes to Tang San, whose face had already turned gloomy.

At this moment, Tang San was experiencing extreme inner turmoil.

The reason he was able to fight and lose repeatedly was because he believed he had the advantage of twin martial souls, which Lan Si did not have, and his second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, which was known as the number one weapon martial soul in the world.

Now, Lan Si also possesses twin martial souls, and the second martial soul has not yet been equipped with any soul rings. Doesn't this mean that once the other party cultivates it, his future achievements are very likely to surpass his own?

This was absolutely intolerable to him. Therefore, in this Soul Master Competition, he had to defeat Lan Si, use the Eight Spider Lances to absorb the opponent's life force, and reduce his talent.

"Third Brother..." Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with some worry.

Tang San took a deep breath and shook his head. "You don't need to worry about me. Besides, hasn't our teacher already prepared a secret weapon for us?"

Hearing this, the Shrek Academy members were greatly encouraged. Yes, as long as they unleashed that move, combined with Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, they could put up a fight even against a Soul Saint.

On the competition stage,

After blasting Davis away, Lan Si made a hammer-like motion in his hand, the lightning intensified, and he absorbed the Haotian Bamboo Shoot into his body, without continuing his attack.

Zhu Zhuyun was clearly just as terrified as Shrek Academy members were when they first witnessed Lan Si's Soul Master strength during the preliminaries. Gone was her previous arrogance and haughtiness. Her eyes were vacant, her gaze towards Lan Si filled with fear and disbelief. Her body trembled slightly.

Lan Si glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, walked straight past her, returned to the kitten's side, placed her right hand on her fragrant shoulder, and smiled, "Zhuqing, the rest is up to you."

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned before she realized what was happening. Although she had known for a long time that Lan Si possessed twin martial souls, this was the first time she had seen him use his second martial soul in battle. The result was that its power was beyond her imagination. Combined with lightning and unparalleled speed, it was simply a deadly weapon in close combat.

She nodded emphatically, slowly walked to the center of the arena, stood thirty paces away from Zhu Zhuyun, assumed a fighting stance, and said solemnly, "Zhu Zhuyun, it's time to settle our grudges. Make your move."

"Deceiving Emperor Kangxi"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Lan Si with lingering fear. After confirming that Lan Si wouldn't make a move, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Sister, I must say I misjudged you. It seems you've found a good boyfriend. But everything you've done is in vain. You must be well aware of the power of the Star Luo Royal Family and the Zhu Family. The two of you alone cannot escape the shackles of fate."

"You don't need to worry about that." As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's entire body disappeared almost instantly. With a flash, her body drew a huge S-shaped arc in the air and headed straight for Zhu Zhuyun. The speed was so fast that it left a faint afterimage in the air.

"Since that's the case, then come on, let me see just how much your strength has improved in the past two years." Zhu Zhuyun was not afraid at all, and the Netherworld Cat extended ten cone-shaped spikes from its claws to meet the attack. If she were facing Lan Si, she knew she would have no chance of fighting back.

But when it came to her younger sister, whom she had grown up with since childhood and who had been abused countless times, she didn't think she would lose to her, even though the younger sister's soul power was already close to her own.

As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.

Among those present were many powerful Soul Masters. Everyone noticed that although Zhu Zhuyun's Soul Power was higher than Zhu Zhuqing's, Zhu Zhuyun was at a disadvantage as soon as the two exchanged blows.

As we all know, the Agility-based attack system has a major drawback: while gaining super speed, its attack power will be weakened accordingly. And because its speed far exceeds that of other Soul Masters at the same level, its control is not as good, and its attack patterns become too one-dimensional.

Their movements are easily predicted by Soul Masters with strong insight, making them easy targets.

Chapter 227 Shrek's Reactions

However, it's clear that while both are agility-based attackers, Zhu Zhuqing seems to have overcome the weakness of having a single attack pattern. With her amazing footwork and strange claw techniques resembling self-created soul skills, Zhu Zhuqing maximized her advantages.

Although the two were about the same speed, Zhu Zhuqing was able to anticipate the opponent's moves and then seize the opportunity to counterattack. Before long, Zhu Zhuyun was already in a sorry state.

Finally, under Zhu Zhuqing's powerful fourth soul skill, Netherworld Terror Claw, Zhu Zhuyun was completely powerless to resist and was directly blasted off the arena by the powerful claw.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing ultimately decided not to harm her blood-related sister and stopped in time. Otherwise, even if Zhu Zhuyun hadn't died, she would probably have been a cripple for the rest of her life.

The match ended in silence.

Only Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing remained standing on the arena. Yes, they had won. They had achieved a decisive victory without sustaining any injuries, eliminating one of the three seeded teams, the Star Luo Empire Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

If Lan Si hadn't stopped halfway through, he might have even been able to complete the first one-against-seven match since the start of the finals.

The moment Zhu Zhuyun was slammed off the stage, Zhu Zhuqing shed tears of relief. So many years, so many years... the sister who had haunted her dreams had finally been defeated. But for some reason, she felt a strange emptiness inside.

Turning her gaze to the area below the arena, Zhu Zhuyun, the only one from the Star Luo Royal Academy who was not unconscious, she noticed that the other person seemed to be looking at her as well. There was no hatred in her eyes, nor the arrogance and disdain of the past, but rather a sense of relief, the same relief as her own.

His mouth, oozing blood, opened slightly, as if to say: I wish you happiness.

Then he turned around, helped the unconscious Davis to his feet, and limped away dejectedly.

"It seems you two sisters used to have a good relationship, but you turned against each other because of that damned engagement." Lan Si had appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing without anyone noticing.

"Yes. Before I awakened my martial soul, my sister was always very good to me." Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

"You don't need to feel guilty. No matter what, she tried to kill you several times, that's an indisputable fact. Today you defeated her, which can be considered an eye for an eye. Besides, strictly speaking, she should be happy, because you can no longer compete with her. Dai Mubai alone is no match for her and Davis."

Lan Si took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and as the referee announced the victory, the two turned and walked off the arena.

As soon as they returned to the rest area of ​​the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Ye Lingling came up to them. Without thinking twice, she immediately released healing light on Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing. Only after she found that they were not injured did a joyful expression appear on her beautiful face.

At this moment, the Royal Fighting team, led by Yu Tianheng, also came over. "Ah Si, you really kept this from us for a long time. When your soul power broke through to level 34, I saw lightning flash on your body. I thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect you to be hiding a second martial soul. I think I understand why you took the initiative to join the second team. Perhaps, looking at the entire arena, only you can defeat the Spirit Hall Academy."

The Gene Era

Lan Si smiled calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. Compared to the joyful atmosphere on Lan Si's side, the rest area where the Spirit Hall Academy was located was undoubtedly much more somber.

Originally full of confidence, they all frowned after witnessing the terrifying strength displayed by Lan Si. Including Hu Liena, the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy all frowned.

"Nana, this Lan Si is not easy to deal with. He is actually a twin martial soul possessor, just like His Holiness the Pope." Hu Liena's brother, Xie Yue, who is also a member of the Golden Generation, said with a solemn expression.

"Yes. Not only that, his mental strength is also exceptionally strong. My charm has almost no effect on him." Hu Liena nodded, recalling Lan Si's true appearance in her mind. A faint blush appeared on her charming face.

Handsome appearance, inner noble temperament, and unparalleled talent.

She had never seen such an outstanding man before. Compared to him, even her own brother paled in comparison. No wonder Sister Xue'er chose him and tolerated his liking for another girl. Even the teacher and the Grand Elder didn't say much.

Yan, a sycophant comparable to Feng Xiaotian, instinctively sensed danger upon hearing Hu Liena's words. He curled his lip in disdain, "So what if he's powerful? He has immense strength, yet he runs off to that cowardly team at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. If any one of us three can hold him off, and the rest of us can deal with that little girl from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire and those few cowards who deserted the battle, then all seven of us together will surely defeat that kid."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena frowned, unsure how to refute it, and hesitated before finally saying nothing. Yan's words did indeed make some sense. Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, Lan Si had no other notable players; that was an undeniable fact.

On the main VIP platform, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes. Then they let out a long sigh and slowly sat down.

"Uncle Sword, have you noticed?" Ning Fengzhi transmitted his voice to Sword Douluo.

"Hmm, a small cone-shaped hammer, possessing lightning abilities no less powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a mutated version of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul," Sword Douluo replied solemnly.

"This is quite an unexpected surprise. To be honest, I regret not listening to you guys and stopping Rongrong from going to Shrek Academy." Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile.

Mentioning Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo frowned and asked hesitantly, "Rongrong seems to have developed feelings for that Oscar. What do you plan to do?"

"Don't tell Rongrong about Oscar yet, otherwise she might fall out with Tang San. Our biggest enemy right now is the Spirit Hall. It's not advisable to antagonize Tang San, after all, he has a Clear Sky Douluo and the entire Clear Sky Sect behind him. After the Soul Master Competition, I'll find an opportunity to have a good talk with that kid Oscar, and hopefully he'll back down. Otherwise..." At this point, Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Oscar, who was trying to please his beloved daughter at Shrek Academy, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Oscar instinctively sensed someone watching him. Looking around, he met Ning Fengzhi's gaze. Thinking the other was trying to be friendly, he foolishly returned a fawning smile. This made Ning Fengzhi both annoyed and amused.

Time flies, and two days later, the fourth round of the finals officially began.

Lan Si and the Spirit Hall Academy did not clash as planned. Instead, they faced a near-strong team from the Star Luo Empire and defeated them without much effort.

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy encountered a rival: the Divine Wind Academy, which had merged with Blazing Fire Academy.

Chapter 228 Ning Fengzhi's Scheme

Shrek's rest area.

The fourth round of the draw is undoubtedly very important, because if you can draw a relatively weak opponent, it will be very advantageous for any strong team, as it means that you can directly advance to the top three of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament Finals.

There are only one or two teams that can truly be considered weak. Other teams, such as the Spirit Hall Academy, the Divine Wind Academy which merged with the Blazing Fire Academy, and the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy where Lan Si is located, are all top-tier teams. No matter which team you encounter, you will inevitably face a tough battle.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Shrek's rest area was unusually somber.

Soon, Dean Flander of Shrek Academy arrived. His expression was clearly not good, and he looked worried. Judging from his unhappy appearance, it goes without saying that he had drawn a bad lot.

"Flander, how's it going?" Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward, grasped Flander's hand, and asked excitedly. He desperately hoped that Lan Si's team could meet the Spirit Hall Academy earlier, so that his disciple would have one less formidable opponent to face. With the trump cards he had prepared for everyone, winning the championship would be almost a certainty.

“Xiao Gang, you…” Looking at Yu Xiao Gang’s rosy and smooth old face, which was free of any stubble, Flander’s eyes flashed with heartache. He had seen the changes in Yu Xiao Gang these days. His beard was getting thinner and thinner, he was talking more and more like a woman, and even when he urinated, he squatted down. If nothing unexpected happened, he was no longer a man.

At this moment, Liu Erlong also walked over, saying somewhat impatiently, "Boss Fu, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and say it. It's just drawing lots, why make such a fuss?"

Flander sighed softly, ultimately deciding not to reveal his discovery, fearing his beloved Erlongmei would be distraught if she knew. He then addressed the crowd, "I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Yu Xiaogang said, "Good news."

Flander said in a deep voice, "This time we didn't draw either the Spirit Hall Academy or the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Hearing this, the Shrek team breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had prepared a secret weapon, it could only be used once in a short period of time. If it were used multiple times, Tang San's talent would be basically ruined. It would be best if they didn't encounter these two most powerful teams.

"And what's the bad news?" Tang San couldn't help but ask.

Flander sighed, "Your opponents in the fourth round are Shenfeng Academy. The remaining two teams from the Star Luo Empire were drawn by Wuhun Hall Academy and the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy, where Lan Si is located."

"Shenfeng Academy?" As soon as Flander finished speaking, the Shrek Academy members frowned in unison. This was an extremely powerful team. The fact that all of them were Soul Masters was enough to prove their strength, not to mention that Huo Wu, who had once put Shrek Academy in a difficult situation, and Feng Xiaotian, who had defeated Tang San head-on, were also included.

Meanwhile, at the Kamikaze Academy's rest area.

"Damn it, what kind of draw did you get? Why isn't it the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy again?" When Huo Wu learned from Feng Xiaotian that her opponent was Shrek Academy, she was furious because the opponent she really wanted to defeat was Lan Si.

Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Shenfeng Academy, said with a wry smile, "Sister Huowu, I think this might not be such a bad thing. I think you saw Lan Si's strength a few days ago. It's fortunate that we didn't run into him beforehand, otherwise our outcome might not have been much better than that of Xingluo Royal Academy."
