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

Chapter 137 The Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament Begins

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Moreover, the reward for this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is three ten-thousand-year soul bones, among which there is a high possibility that one is a head soul bone. If it appears, its quality will definitely surpass this one. I suggest that you absorb it only if you confirm that there is no head soul bone among those three soul bones."

"I understand, teacher." Yu Xiaogang's thoughts undoubtedly coincided with his. Otherwise, in order to defeat Lan Si, he might actually have absorbed this soul bone.

Generally, the power of a Soul Bone Skill is proportional to that of a Soul Ring Skill.

The power of a Thousand-Year Soul Bone Technique is equivalent to that of a Thousand-Year Soul Ring Technique.

The power of a ten-thousand-year soul bone skill is equivalent to that of a ten-thousand-year soul ring skill.

Take the soul bones of Ma Hongjun and Oscar as an example.

Ma Hongjun's soul bone has a lifespan of nine hundred years, exceeding the limit of the second soul ring. Under normal circumstances, the power of the soul bone skill granted to him will be stronger than the second soul skill of most soul masters of the same level.

Oscar's soul bone has a lifespan of two thousand years. Although it's not an intelligence soul bone, it originated from a spider-type soul beast weaver. Given equal soul power, its power would certainly not be less than Tang San's third soul skill, Spider Web Binding. This is equivalent to granting a food-type soul master a certain level of attack power.

Most importantly, unlike soul rings, soul bones are not subject to restrictions on soul power level or age for absorption. As long as you have a soul bone, you can absorb it even if you are a soul master.

This is why soul bones are so precious.

Tang San's Ghost Eye Jade Lion Soul Bone is 15,000 years old and is also an intelligent soul bone. Once absorbed, the soul bone skills derived from it may even be stronger than the fifth soul skills of some soul kings.

Once absorbed, the increase in strength will be immense, as one can imagine.

............

Three months later, in Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the renovated Heavenly Battle Arena was already packed with people.

The audience arrived so early not to watch ordinary soul battles, but because the opening ceremony of the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament would be held here.

In order to get a close look at the young soul masters participating in the competition on the first day, they crowded around eagerly.

"There are way too many people here." Wearing the standard pale yellow school uniform of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and exquisite half-face masks, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling held hands, gasped slightly, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Because everywhere you look, there are dense crowds. The open-air arena, which has been renovated, is packed with people. There are also countless fully armed royal knights in iron armor maintaining order. It is roughly estimated that the total number of people is no less than 70,000 or 80,000.

"This year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is unlike any other. It might even be the most prestigious tournament in the history of Douluo Continent, with countless geniuses. Naturally, it has attracted a much larger audience. We can say we are lucky to be born in this era." Lan Si stood at the forefront, acting as a protector of the beauties, shielding Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling as he explained.

Behind the three of them followed seven young men and women, all dressed in the pale yellow uniforms of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They were the original seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team. Ever since Lan Si, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling joined the second team, they had given the battle spirit masters among them a severe beating, and they had all become obedient.

Lan Si had no interest in knowing the names and abilities of these good-for-nothings who were instantly defeated by the Shrek team in the original story. His only requirement for them was four words: don't get in the way.

Just then, a group of strangely dressed people entered through the designated passage for participating teams on the right front, immediately attracting the attention of Lan Si and the others. Like Lan Si and his companions, they were also wearing masks.

The uniform was a standard turquoise green, with a bright green Shrek monster logo printed on the chest. Besides the chest, the uniform was covered in small advertisements. It was impossible not to notice it.

"Ah Si, what kind of team is that? Their clothes are just too ridiculous." Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually serious, couldn't help but twitch her face when she saw this comical scene.

Even the usually aloof Ye Lingling had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, covering her red lips with her jade hand, trying her best not to laugh out loud.

"See the Shrek symbol on their chests? It looks like the Shrek Academy team," Lan Si pointed and turned to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing took a closer look at the Shrek Six. Scorpion braid, Fatty... After recognizing the Shrek Six Monsters, her pretty face flushed red. She felt a mix of fear and relief.

Thank goodness I left the Shrek team, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed to wear those shit-green clothes with them, I would have wanted to crawl into a hole and die of embarrassment.

Soon, Lan Si and his group arrived at the rest area of ​​the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where the team leader, instructor Sun Buyu, had already arrived.

Upon seeing Lan Si and the others arrive, Sun Buyu greeted them with a smile and handed them a stack of documents. "A Si, Zhu Qing, Ling Ling, you're here. The information on the participating teams for the first round of the preliminary competition has been released."

Lan Si took the information, ignoring everything else, and looked directly at Shrek Academy. The information was as follows.

Captain Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 42 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Age 17.

Vice Captain Tang San, spirit soul Blue Silver Grass, level 42 control-type Soul Master. Age 14.

Team member Xiao Wu, her martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, and she is a level 39 Power Attack type Battle Soul Master. She is fourteen years old.

Team member Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 41 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Age: 14.

Team member Oscar, Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 41 Food-type Weapon Soul Master. Age: 16.

Team member Ning Rongrong, her martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a level 37 support-type weapon spirit master. She is fourteen years old.

Team member Tailong, Martial Soul: Mighty Gorilla, Level 37 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Age: 24.

Team member Huang Yuan, Martial Soul Lone Wolf, Level 35 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master Huang Yuan. Age 23.

Team member Jing Ling, Martial Soul Skeleton, Level 35 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Venerable Huang Yuan. Age 22.

Team member Jiangzhu, wields the Healing Scepter as her martial soul, and is a level 35 offensive-type battle soul master. She is nineteen years old.

There were a total of ten participants, and apart from the kitten who had left Shrek, the participants were not much different from those in the original story.

On the contrary, it was the speed at which the Shrek Six Monsters' soul power increased that caught Lan Si's attention. He did not expect that the Shrek Six Monsters could raise their soul power level to this level without any immortal herbs.

As expected, Tang San found some rare herbs that he had forgotten and did not recognize among the dregs of the medicine.

And that 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit, it actually dared to openly appear at the Soul Master Competition even without the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. Could it be that it found something that can hide the aura of a soul beast?

Chapter 138 The Pressure Exposed by Lan Si

After a brief moment of surprise, Lan Si stopped thinking about it. So what if Tang San really found the immortal herb inside?

Anyway, he had already acquired all the named immortal herbs from the original work. Even if Tang San really found an immortal herb, it would definitely not be of immortal quality and would be incomplete.

Before he left, he had indeed used a throwing knife to take care of every single herb in Dugu Bo's herb garden.

"Teacher Sun, do other college teams also have such detailed information?" Lan Si handed the Shrek team's information back to Sun Buyu.

Sun Buyu shook his head and said, "No, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the organizers only allow the participating teams from the academy to know which team their opponent is before they go on stage. Other information can either be deduced from previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournaments, or they can draw their own conclusions by observing the participating teams."

"Who is the organizer?" Lan Si already had a guess in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Sun Buyu looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then cautiously leaned close to Lan Si's ear and whispered, "The organizer of the Tian Dou City preliminary rounds is naturally the Tian Dou Royal Family, and the person in charge is His Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Lan Si thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Looking around, Lan Si didn't see Qian Renxue. Instead, several familiar figures on the VIP platform caught his attention. One of them was Ning Fengzhi, the one who had given him a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School token at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence when he obtained his fourth soul ring.

Ning Fengzhi sat on the left side of the first row of the VIP section. There were two other people sitting with him. Although Lan Si had never seen them before, he could recognize them from their clothes and appearance.

The person in the center, dressed in a gold and red robe and wearing a gold and diamond crown, with a face like the ancient moon, bears a resemblance to Xue Qinghe after Qian Renxue's disguise. It is no surprise that he is Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire.

To the right of Emperor Xueye sat an elderly man in a long crimson robe. He had narrow shoulders, was extremely thin, and wore a five-pointed platinum crown. His eyes were slightly closed, and he appeared sleepy, as if he might fall asleep at any moment. From his attire, Lan Si recognized him as Salas, one of the four Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall from the original story.

Behind Ning Fengzhi and the other two, in the second row, sat three members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. The three members seemed to notice Lan Si's gaze. Although Lan Si was wearing a mask, they still recognized him and returned his gaze with a friendly smile.

Soul masters participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament are not allowed to wear masks, but they can before going on stage. Lan Si already knew that he would encounter the Shrek Academy team in the first round of the preliminaries, so he specially wore a mask in order to give him a shock... oh no, a surprise after going on stage.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi seemed to notice that someone had been watching him. His gaze shifted, and when he saw Lan Si and the other two wearing masks in the rest area of ​​the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Sect Leader Ning, what are you looking at?" Emperor Xueye, sitting next to Ning Fengzhi, asked curiously when he saw Fengzhi staring at one spot.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just a little curious about the new faces added to the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy this year." Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, thinking to himself, "Could I have mistaken him for someone else?" Lan Si's ability to single-handedly defeat the Shrek Seven Devils two years ago is undeniable.

Nowadays, although Lan Siwei has consumed immortal herbs like the Shrek Six Monsters, he is definitely not weaker than any of the Shrek Six.

The Fairy Tree Romance

With such a formidable player, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy would have to be out of their mind to put him in the second team.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye gave an "Oh," but didn't pay much attention, as he already heard the preliminaries' voices. As the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he was to deliver the opening address. Similarly, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was also to give a speech for the competition.

Meanwhile, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, will draw lots for the first round of the preliminary rounds.

When it was Ning Fengzhi's turn to speak, the emcee asked him which team he favored. Without a doubt, Ning Fengzhi favored Shrek Academy, but the cunning Ning Fengzhi wouldn't reveal his true thoughts to outsiders. He simply brushed it off by saying that the final champion of this competition would belong to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Then, Platinum Bishop Salas drew lots, and the Soul Master team drawn in the first round was to fight against the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This team would be the only match of the day and the prelude to the opening ceremony.

The result was unsurprising: Shrek Academy was the team that was drawn.

When the emcee announced, "First round of the preliminary rounds: Heaven Dou Royal Academy vs. Shrek Academy," the other academies didn't react much, but the Shrek Six Monsters' expressions suddenly turned serious.

For no apparent reason, Oscar blurted out, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, that monster Lan Si isn't in the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and even Tang San all breathed a sigh of relief. Although their strength was now vastly different from before, the oppressive feeling that Lan Si, the Great Soul Fighter from Soto City, had given them two years ago still cast a psychological shadow on them.

Whether they wanted to admit it or not, they really didn't want to face Lan Si, this freak, any longer if they could.

While the others were relieved, Ma Hongjun, who had just broken through to the Soul Master level and was bursting with confidence, was unhappy.

He curled his lip and said disdainfully, "So what if Lan Si comes? Our Shrek Academy team now has four Soul Masters, plus Xiao Wu who could break through at any time, that's five Soul Masters. What does the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team have? They're lucky if they have two or three Soul Masters. Even if we add that Lan Si, I don't believe he can break through to Soul Master like Third Brother in two years. Even I, Fatty, wouldn't be afraid of him now."

After hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai and Tang San exchanged a glance, their faces filled with helplessness and a bitter smile. Ma Hongjun had not truly witnessed Lan Si's terrifying power. Even for Tang San, according to his opinion, unless he used his second martial soul and external soul bone at the same time, the chances of winning would still be very slim.

Of course, Tang San didn't think he would really lose. He had already mastered the Bat Wing Reincarnation, ranked tenth among Tang Sect's hidden weapons. If he used the external soul bone fragment to perform Bat Wing Reincarnation, even Lan Si would be doomed. At the same time, this was also a great gift he had prepared for Lan Si.

Ever since his second crushing defeat at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to Lan Si, he'd had this idea. And this idea grew stronger every day.

—Find the right opportunity, let Lan Si be poisoned by the Eight Spider Lances, his external soul bone. After the competition, under the guise of detoxification, use the Eight Spider Lances to absorb part of his life force, causing him to fall seriously ill and delaying his cultivation speed.

The reason he didn't want to face Lan Si so soon was that he had other opponents besides Lan Si. Once he faced Lan Si, he would have to reveal all his cards, which would put him in a very passive position when facing other opponents.

Chapter 139 The Shrek Team Overflowing with Confidence

“That’s right, this junior is right. With Third Young Master’s strength, even my father, Mighty King, is no match for him. What is Lan Si to him?” Tai Long laughed and patted Goulan Phoenix on the shoulder.

Three months after being brutally beaten by Tang San, Tailong, just like in the original story, summoned his father, Mighty King Tainuo. However, he was defeated by Tang San using the Eight Spider Lances' deadly poison. Shortly after, Tailong's grandfather, Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, also arrived.

Without the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, to refine his body, Tang San suffered quite a bit when faced with the oppressive aura released by the old Titan after he made the bet.

Furthermore, without Ning Fengzhi's intervention, the Golden Triangle Lovers went off to acquire the fourth spirit ring for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, and Tang San almost ended up being crippled by the old Titan.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Tang San released his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, just like in the original story, allowing the old Titan to recognize his identity, and the farce finally came to an end.

Afterwards, the old Titan recognized Tang San as his young master and allowed Tailong to stay at Shrek Academy to assist Tang San in winning the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
