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

Could it be that he refined the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom? But these two immortal herbs cannot be preserved for long. If they are not combined within ten breaths after being picked and then swallowed, their medicinal effects will be greatly reduced. Lan Si was not even in Sunset Forest at that time, so how did he manage to do it?

"Whew...who knows!" Lan Si gave an infuriating answer, then turned to the equally stunned referee and said calmly, "Referee, everyone is here. It's time to call 'start'."

"Ah... Oh. Begin." Upon hearing this, the referee finally reacted, and as he shouted the word "begin," he leaped backward and jumped off the arena.

"The plan has changed. Attack Lan Si first." Tang San, being a veteran of countless battles, quickly snapped out of his daze after the referee called "start." With a shout, the seven members of Shrek Academy launched an attack on Lan Si simultaneously.

Tang San was well aware of Lan Si's strength. In a one-on-one fight, none of the Shrek Seven Devils besides him could match Lan Si, not even Dai Mubai, who had already broken through to the Soul Master level.

Once Lan Si defeats them one by one, Shrek Academy will be completely finished.

Dai Mubai took the lead, his bones cracking and his muscles bulging, leading the two offensive Soul Masters, Tailong and Huang Yuan, charging forward from the front. Xiao Wu and Jing Ling, standing behind them, simultaneously circled around from the side. Without exception, their targets were all Lan Si.

Strangely, Lan Si's other six companions did not stop them. In fact, as if they were afraid of being caught in the crossfire, they put away their martial spirits and stood on the edges of the arena to Lan Si's left and right, seemingly ready to jump off and forfeit at any moment.

Meanwhile, a purple light appeared on Tang San's body. He ignored the six members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team who had deserted during the battle. Rather, this was exactly what he wanted. His fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and without any warning, dozens of jet-black Blue Silver Grass suddenly surged from the ground, transforming into three sturdy cages that interlocked, trapping Lan Si inside.

After absorbing the spirit ring of the Earth Demon Spider with a cultivation level of 6,500 years, Tang San still obtained the group control spirit skill Blue Silver Prison. However, unlike the ten-thousand-year spirit skill in the original work that could release more than seven cages at the same time, Tang San's Blue Silver Prison can only release a maximum of three cages at the same time.

However, in Tang San's view, this was enough. The three layers of Blue Silver Cage were so strong that even Dai Mubai could not break through them. As long as the Blue Silver Cage could hold Lan Si for a few breaths and limit Lan Si's superhuman speed, allowing Dai Mubai and the other four's attacks to reach him, then victory would ultimately belong to Shrek Academy.

P.S.: Third update

Chapter 142 The Shrek Academy Students, Terrified

While Tang San was releasing the Blue Silver Cage, the others were not idle either.

First up was Dai Mubai, who unleashed his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, without holding back.

Tailong's approach was even simpler. All three of his spirit rings lit up simultaneously. As a pure strength-type spirit master, he activated all his strength amplification skills, transforming into a ferocious gorilla.

Huang Yuan's third soul skill is somewhat similar to Dai Mubai's, but because the Lone Wolf Martial Soul is inferior to the White Tiger Martial Soul, the amplification is much weaker. The third soul skill, Heavenly Wolf Transformation, can only instantly amplify attack power and speed by 50%.

Xiao Wu and Jing Ling also launched their strongest attacks.

One Soul Master and four Soul Venerables simultaneously attacked from all directions, targeting Lan Si, who was standing in the center position of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and trapped in three blue silver cages.

Facing the attacks from Tang San and Dai Mubai, Lan Si smiled calmly. Without making any moves, his second and first spirit rings lit up one after another. A blue light floated out from his body, transforming into an ice-blue lotus with a diameter of one meter, its surface shimmering with a pale white flame.

The moment the Azure Lotus appeared, the surrounding temperature surged instantly, and the three layers of blue-silver cages enveloping Lan Si collapsed in an instant.

My Iceberg Beauty Wife

The Azure Lotus split into 16, then into 128. The sixteen Azure Lotuses transformed into 128 blades, each over half a meter long, covered with a pale white aura. These blades, resembling ice daggers, were ice-blue and evaded vital points. They then transformed into a light blue rain of light and suddenly thrust towards Dai Mubai and his group of five who were rushing towards them.

Puff puff puff.....

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, countless streaks of blue light flashed across Dai Mubai and his companions. Dai Mubai didn't even have time to activate his fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, before he was utterly battered.

After a while, Dai Mubai, Tailong, Huang Yuan, and Jingling fell onto the arena covered in blood. Xiao Wu, the only one who survived, managed to escape using her third soul skill, Teleportation, but she still suffered a deep, bone-revealing wound on her forearm.

However, Lan Si would not let her go. He quickly locked onto the location of her teleportation with his mental power, reaching the Great Heavenly Realm. He activated a flash skill that was more powerful than before, and kicked Xiao Wu off the arena almost the instant she appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Si appeared in front of Tang San, whose spirit had already been broken by the blow.

With his right arm draped over Tang San's shoulder, he murmured in Tang San's ear in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "An enemy who is defeated by me is never considered an opponent by me. I will give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me. Tang San, despicable tactics are the tricks of the weak, and the strong disdain to use them. Instead of wasting time on these schemes, you would be better off focusing on cultivation. That way, you might be able to arouse my interest."

After saying that, Lan Si punched Tang San in the chin, sending him flying into the air. Lan Si then flashed to Tang San's side and kicked him off the arena.

In the end, only one member of the Shrek team remained intact: Jiang Zhu, who was terrified. Her eyes were vacant and lifeless, filled with fear.

"Will you go down by yourself, or should I escort you down?" Lan Si asked calmly, her back to Jiang Zhu, without turning around.

"I...I surrender." Jiangzhu was so frightened she was almost crying. One person had almost instantly wiped out all six of their Shrek Academy's top Soul Masters. Where did this monster come from? She jumped off the arena trembling. Because she was so scared, she tripped and fell as she jumped.

As the last member of the Shrek team conceded defeat, the entire audience of 70,000 to 80,000 people fell silent, the surroundings were deathly quiet. If before Lan Siwei took the stage, Shrek's green jerseys, which they had canceled, had begun to shine, then now they were even worse than shit.

One against seven, a one against seven without any suspense. This is the first time since the start of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament that a single person has taken on seven opponents. Moreover, the team that was defeated was the Shrek Academy team, which has two Soul Masters and five Soul Venerables.

Such achievements are destined to be recorded in the annals of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Referee, I want to complain! I want to complain! Lan Si isn't competing at all, he's committing a massacre! He's violated the tournament rules! I demand Lan Si be expelled from the competition!" Yu Xiaogang, who had somehow learned that Lan Si had joined the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, rushed back. Seeing the miserable state of Dai Mubai and the other three on the arena, Xiao Wu with her injured right arm below the arena, Jiang Zhu who was terrified, and Tang San with lifeless eyes who looked like he had suffered a great setback, she couldn't control her anger and shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the referee paused for a moment, but before he could speak, a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the arena, "No, Lan Si did not violate the rules of the game. Although the four Shrek Academy members on the stage look seriously injured, they have actually avoided vital organs and are out of danger."

Before anyone knew it, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had come down. Accompanying him were Emperor Xue Ye, Bishop Salas, three Soul Douluo instructors from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy responsible for protecting Emperor Xue Ye, and Prince Xue Xing, who was always following him around.

Sword Douluo appeared at some point. He stood quietly beside Ning Fengzhi, his body radiating an extremely sharp aura despite not releasing his martial soul. He steadily protected Ning Fengzhi.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, radiating a dazzling light, quietly appeared before Ning Fengzhi. He softly called out, "Seven Treasures True Form, go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pagoda flashed with dazzling colorful light, spinning three times in Ning Fengzhi's hand before floating out and flying into the air above the arena. It then enlarged, transforming into a ten-meter-tall pagoda. In an instant, the entire Great Soul Arena was ablaze with light, enveloping the seven members of Shrek Academy.

This is the true form of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit, also known as the Seven Treasures True Form. Although its healing ability is not as good as Ye Renxin's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Spirit, or even Ye Lingling's Martial Spirit's second awakening into the Sacred Heart Begonia, its rich soul power of seventy-nine is comparable to most top-tier healing-type soul masters.

"Sect Master Ning, Your Majesty the Emperor, Sword Douluo... Bishop Salas, the three members of the Education Committee..." Seeing Ning Fengzhi and the other important figures step down from the stage, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat apprehensive and respectfully bowed.

However, only Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly to him. Emperor Xueye, Sword Douluo, Bishop Salas, and the others did not even glance at Yu Xiaogang, and all focused their attention on Lan Si.

Lan Si lightly jumped off the arena with her toes touching the ground, and bowed to Ning Fengzhi and the others in turn, saying, "Your Majesty, Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, Bishop Salas, Committee Member Meng Shenji, Committee Member Bai Baoshan, Committee Member Zhilin."

When it was Prince Xuexing's turn, Lan Si pretended not to know, tilted his head, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "This is... a perverted old man who likes young girls?"

P.S.: Fourth update

Chapter 143 Emperor Xueye's Olive Branch

"Insolence! Guards, seize him!" Upon hearing Lan Si call him a 'perverted old man who likes young girls,' Prince Xuexing's face instantly turned red. It was true that he liked young women, but he had never tasted a young girl. How could this person slander Prince Xuexing's innocence out of thin air? He immediately shouted for the guards maintaining order at the arena to seize Lan Si.

But Emperor Xueye stopped him. He waved his hand, dispersing the guards surrounding Lan Si. A gentle smile appeared on his old face as he smiled at Lan Si and said, "You are the A Si that Qinghe often mentioned to me, right?"

"Your Majesty, I am Lan Si." Lan Si cupped his hands again, a wicked smile suddenly appearing on his lips. He pointed at Prince Xue Xing and said, "Your Majesty, you must be very careful of this lecherous old man. Last time I went to the Tian Dou Auction House, I saw him take Prince Xue Beng and spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy two girls under the age of ten. Then he directly booked a room in the auction house. When Prince Xue Xing came out, the two girls were dead. I suspect that Prince Xue Beng was corrupted by this guy."

"Boy, you're talking nonsense. When did I buy a young girl? I clearly bought a fifteen or sixteen-year-old..." Prince Xuexing's rebuttal blurted out unconsciously, only to realize that he seemed to have inadvertently let slip a secret and confessed without being asked.

"Look, Your Majesty, this lecherous old man has admitted it himself. Who knows how many young girls he has harmed?" Lan Si pressed on relentlessly.

The Great Soul Arena was full of Soul Masters, whose hearing was extraordinary. Upon hearing Prince Xue Xing's words, they all pointed and whispered among themselves. The other ordinary people, not understanding what was going on, rushed to ask questions, and for a moment, the entire Great Soul Arena was in chaos.

Emperor Xueye's smile vanished, and his expression immediately turned ugly. He knew more or less about Xuexing's minor flaws. Rather than turning a blind eye, he was actually happy to see it happen, because the more degenerate Prince Xuexing became, the less of a threat he posed to his throne.

But being exposed by Lan Si today is not good, because it concerns the face of the royal family. If not handled properly, it could very well damage the prestige of the Heavenly Dou royal family.

However, Emperor Xueye was secretly pleased, because this showed that Lan Si was straightforward, honest, and intolerant of injustice. He was a pure warrior. Such people were ideal as henchmen, good at maintaining appearances, easy to control, and of great help to the Heavenly Dou royal family.

"I never expected that Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire would have such a hobby, even corrupting his own imperial nephew. It seems that the Heaven Dou Imperial City is about to become a den of iniquity." Just then, the sarcastic voice of Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, rang out from the side, interrupting Emperor Xue Ye's thoughts.

Emperor Xueye frowned. He knew that if he did nothing today and protected Prince Xuexing, he would lose the support of the people. He then symbolically punished Prince Xuexing: "Xuexing, you are to give the respectable young women in your household travel expenses and send them home before sunset. In addition, you are not allowed to set foot in the Heavenly Dou Auction House for the next six months, or you will be held accountable."

"Your Majesty, I..." Prince Xuexing's face was pale. It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't stepped into the Heavenly Dou Auction House, but those girls were all bought by him at a high price.

"What? Do I need to repeat myself?" Emperor Xueye glared at Prince Xuexing. Prince Xuexing then slunk away from the Great Soul Arena, filled with resentment and hatred for Lan Si.

"Well, Ah Si, are you satisfied now?" Emperor Xueye looked at Lan Si with kind eyes.

Lan Si respectfully said, "Your Majesty is wise." Wise my foot! I'm afraid you old codger aren't much better yourself.

Emperor Xueye, of course, was unaware of Lan Si's thoughts. He laughed heartily and said loudly, "Very well, Lan Si, hereby receive your conferment. Effective immediately, I hereby confer upon you the title of Marquis of Qinglian, grant you a marquisate, a fief of ten thousand li, and the title to be hereditary. In addition, there will be a series of other rewards, which will be sent to your marquisate later."

The Marquis of Ten Thousand Households shocked everyone in the entire Great Soul Arena. They never expected that Emperor Xueye would make such a grand gesture. Although there was no real fiefdom, it was not much different from the treatment of some smaller kingdom dukes.

Ning Fengzhi was also slightly surprised. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Emperor Xueye's open attempt to win him over, as long as Lan Si didn't side with the Spirit Hall, it would be beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He then smiled faintly and echoed, "Ah Si, since the founding of the Heaven Dou Empire, all those who have been granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households have been founding heroes or made outstanding contributions to the empire. There are no more than twenty of them in total. You are the youngest in history. Hurry up and thank the emperor."

Lan Si frowned, knowing that these two old foxes were up to no good. Anyone with a brain would know what accepting Emperor Xueye's reward meant.

Lan Si shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot accept your reward. His Highness the Crown Prince once showed me great favor, and I made a promise with him that I would not accept any reward until I won the Soul Master Competition for the Empire."

The first sentence made Emperor Xueye frown, but the second sentence made him overjoyed. It seemed that, no matter what, Lan Si was now bound to the Heaven Dou Empire's warship; pledging allegiance to the Crown Prince was equivalent to pledging allegiance to the Heaven Dou Empire, wasn't it?

Emperor Xueye laughed heartily and said, "Good, you have ambition. Then I will not force you. However, I will still retain your title. Regardless of whether you win the championship or not, everything I have bestowed upon you today will remain valid."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Si suppressed his nausea and cupped his hands in thanks again.

Emperor Xueye nodded slightly before leaving with the three Soul Douluo instructors.

Throughout the entire process, Yu Xiaogang never had a chance to speak to Emperor Xueye.

The platinum bishop Salas gave Lan Si a deep look, hesitated, and ultimately left without saying a word, following Emperor Xueye.

In the end, only Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo remained.

"Father." As soon as Emperor Xueye and the others left, Ning Rongrong, who was supporting Xiaowu not far away, handed Xiaowu over to Jiangzhu to take care of, and then rushed into Ning Fengzhi's arms.

"Rongrong, alright, this isn't the place to talk. We can discuss this later." Ning Fengzhi rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, then turned to Lan Si with a somewhat complicated expression and said, "Lan Si, you are very outstanding, truly outstanding, so outstanding that it exceeds everyone's expectations. If possible, I would like to invite you to be a guest of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"No... Dad, I don't want this bad guy to come to our house. He just beat Xiaowu and Third Brother so badly..." Ning Rongrong quickly spoke up to stop Lan Si before he could answer.

"Rongrong, shut up." Ning Fengzhi was a little angry. He didn't expect his precious daughter to be so grown up and still so tactless. He wasn't inviting Lan Si to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a guest; he was trying to recruit her.

Chapter 144 His Highness the Crown Prince Invites You

“Dad, you…” Hearing Ning Fengzhi’s reprimand, especially in front of Shrek Academy’s enemy Lan Si, Ning Rongrong’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. She threw herself into Sword Douluo’s arms and sobbed softly.

Although Sword Douluo doted on Ning Rongrong, he also knew Ning Fengzhi's feelings, so he could only gently pat Ning Rongrong's head to comfort her.

"Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, I will visit your sect when I have the chance. My companions are waiting for me, please excuse me." Lan Si saw all this, but didn't say much. He cupped his hands, turned his head to look at the referee, and said calmly, "Referee, can you announce the result of the match now?"

Burning Words

"Ah...oh, I declare that the winner of this preliminary round is Team Two of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy." Upon hearing this, the referee finally reacted, picked up the megaphone, and announced the result of the match.

Lan Si had no interest in staying any longer. He nodded to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo again, then walked towards the rest area of ​​the Heaven Dou Royal Academy without looking back.

As Lan Si passed by Shrek Academy and the others, he exchanged a glance with Tang San, smiled contemptuously, and walked out of the arena amidst the resentful, fearful, or hateful gazes of the latter and the rest of the Shrek Academy members.

Watching Lan Si's departing figure, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to bring Lan Si and Ning Rongrong together, but he didn't expect Ning Rongrong to offend them so badly as soon as she arrived. He sighed helplessly and led Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy and the others.

He first nodded politely to Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Master."

Then he said to Tang San, "Little San, we meet again."
