Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Then... with a muffled thud, a player rolled and fell in front of the Blancpain team's rest area. The remaining seven members of the Blancpain team all changed their expressions and rushed off the field.

"The Blancpain team members were actually kicked out of the game."

"What a surprise! Team Feli has been hiding their ace up until the very last match."

"What a show! Absolutely a show! The four seeds have dominated the top four for too long. They've finally met their challengers."

"It was worth coming today; those who left really lost out."...Outside Zhongtian Square, accompanied by Yan kicking...

The kick caused a huge uproar. Everyone realized that this time, the Fei Li team was serious and really wanted to challenge the top four.

"Liu Yu, are you alright? Wait here, I'll get revenge for you." Outside the Blancpain team's rest room, the guy who had been kicked off the stage by Yan was being helped to a chair by a pretty girl. Then, the girl prepared to go up and cause trouble for Yan.

The Valley of Love, one of the five holy lands, excels at fighting together, especially couples who are proficient in combined attacks. This time, eight people came, four men and four women, all of whom are couples. This is the origin of the name Valley of Love, because they really do have a lot of couples.

"Nonsense, you can't go." Liu Yu barely managed to stay awake and grabbed his girlfriend, saying in a muffled voice, "Captain, be careful of that guy, he's dangerous."

"Ole, you go." The captain of the Blancpain team looked serious. Even without Liu Yu's reminder, he had already sensed how difficult Yan was to deal with.

Just as the referee announced the start of the match, Yan kicked Liu Yu off the field. The latter didn't even have time to release a pair of Heavenly Beads; it was a complete rout.

“I understand, Captain.” Another young man stepped forward from Blancpain’s team. He looked slightly younger than Liu Yu, but his strength was much greater.

Blancpain team has consistently ranked second among the four seeds, and never expected anyone to dare to challenge them. Therefore, Liu Yu, who played at the beginning, was ranked very low among them and was not a main player at all.

Although Aole is younger, he is the fifth main player.

"Blancpain Team, Ole." Ole stepped onto the stage, staring at Yan, who remained calm on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice, "Your Emerald Team made a wrong decision. You injured Liu Yu, and everyone on the Emerald Team will pay the price. Your journey to the quarterfinals ends here!"

Chapter 505 The Four Sacred Attributes: Time

"How long has it been since your Blancpain team got beaten up?" Yan glanced at Aole indifferently. He thought that the one who came up again would be someone with a brain, but he didn't expect him to be an arrogant guy. How long has it been since this Blancpain team guy was beaten up?

"You—" Upon hearing this, Aole's anger flared even more, but at least he was a bit smarter than the last one. He took the initiative and revealed four pairs of dzi beads. Four ice-type jadeite beads representing power were in his left hand, while four gemstones emitting a strange yellow light appeared in his right hand.

This is a very strange-looking gemstone, pale yellow in color, with a soft, slightly distorted luster.

Its attribute is extraordinary; it is time, one of the four sacred attributes of the vast continent. The physical attributes of a Celestial Bead Master are not much different from those of an ordinary Physical Bead Master, basically falling into a few categories. However, the attributes of a Celestial Bead Master are much more numerous than those of a Celestial Bead Master, especially some superior attributes that only Celestial Bead Masters possess. One of these is the time attribute.

"Your time-attribute ability is indeed not weak, but you are too weak." Yan glanced at the four yellow gems on Aole's right hand and casually slapped him with his palm.

This Ollen was valued by the captain of Blancpain Team, and his strength was also remarkable. A strange yellow halo was immediately released from his hands.

A yellow, distorted light suddenly swept out, and the area between Yan and Aole, which was shrouded in the yellow light, underwent a strange change.

The dust that was originally flying and the tiny particles that were visible and floating in the sunlight stopped for a moment, and continued to move at a very slow speed.

This strange yellow light is called the Slowing Barrier. It has a strong time-related ability. Once you are exposed to this yellow light, no matter how fast you rush, you will be frozen in place.

"This is a time-attribute ability; it's really quite troublesome."

"Aole was still intimidated by the guys from the Fei Li team. He activated his skills too early."

"Why isn't the Fei Li team dodging? Are they planning to take it head-on?"... Countless eyes were fixed on the two who were fighting. Just as the yellow light was about to engulf Yan, Ao Le was suddenly hit by something and flew straight away.

"Bang!" Another muffled thud and dust erupted in front of Blancpain's rest room. Not long after entering the arena, Oller followed in Liu Yu's footsteps and was knocked off the stage.

On the arena, Yan said calmly, "You're too stupid. When you activated your ability, you faced straight ahead. Didn't you expect the other side to attack you from the side?" Silence, a deathly silence. No one expected that the Blancpain team would lose two matches in a row, and lose so easily, as if it were a joke.

"Damn it, this guy, he's infuriating..." In front of the Blancpain team's rest room, the remaining six Blancpain team members were practically grinding their teeth to dust. They had been having a smooth ride in this Heavenly Bead Competition, but they never expected to be beaten so badly at this moment.

"Hehe, these little guys from the Blancpain Empire have really messed up."

"I never expected that the Feli Empire would have such a young talent hidden away. He has already taken down two opponents before even releasing the Heavenly Pearl."

"The time attribute of Youqing Valley is indeed strong, but the cultivation of these juniors is average, and their ability to adapt to the situation is also insufficient. It is normal that they lost." ... In the audience seats of Zhongtian Square, a group of big shots discussed the battle just now in hushed tones. Their eyesight was exceptional, and they saw some details clearly. Naturally, they understood how the two members of the Blancpain team were defeated so miserably. To put it bluntly, it was still the fault of underestimating their opponents.

In the first match, Liu Yu faced Yan. He never expected Yan to accept the challenge. Before the battle, Liu Yu even made some threats. He deserved to be kicked over by Yan.

In the second match, Aole performed slightly better, but only slightly better. Although he released the Heavenly Pearl and used his skills, he didn't seem to have any other ideas.

These old guys saw it clearly: when Yan Shan slapped Aole, he sent out a force that arced through the air and struck Aole's right cheek from the left, finishing him off so easily.

The reason why Aole lost was simply because they lacked adaptability. They only knew how to unleash a skill from the front without considering the possibility of the opponent switching to an offensive strategy. This is like protecting the head while neglecting the rear.

"Wang Zhou, you go up. You should understand what I mean, don't hold back." In front of the Blancpain team's rest room, their captain's face was extremely gloomy. After looking around, he sent another young man from the team to the stage to fight. Blancpain had lost face in this match, but they could only endure it.

“I understand.” Wang Zhou, the young man from the Blancpain team, lowered his gaze and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Blancpain has suffered two consecutive defeats, and such crushing ones at that. Even if they win in the future, they will be ridiculed. In this situation, they must make an example of someone to deter others and restore their prestige.

"Wang Zhou of Youqing Valley, please enlighten me." Wang Zhou leaped into the air, his body shimmering with powerful celestial energy. He held jade in his left hand and a gemstone in his right, and a yellow halo flashed again, displaying the same time attribute as Aole.

Wang Zhou immediately introduced himself, calling out "Youqing Valley" instead of "Baopu," clearly intending to put pressure on Yan.

Unfortunately, he had no idea what kind of opponent he was facing, and such a cunning scheme had no chance of succeeding.

After doing a somersault in mid-air, Wang Zhou rushed towards Yan, extending his right index and middle fingers and gently slicing them across Yan's body.

Two beams of yellow light shot out from the tips of his two fingers respectively. There was no piercing sound as the light around him suddenly dimmed, and everything seemed unreal.

"This skill is called Time Interruption. The two beams of light I shoot from my hand advance and delay time by one second respectively. The changes and discrepancies in time will generate powerful energy... The power of time cannot be avoided, you are doomed to lose..." Wang Zhou's voice swept out, and everyone felt the light and darkness constantly intertwining before their eyes, secretly shocked by the strangeness and power of the Time Affection Valley's ability.

Seeing Yan Dong remain motionless, Wang Zhou chuckled inwardly and felt his confidence soar, believing that victory was already assured.

The skill "Intertwined Time" can be used not only for attack but also for crowd control. As one of the three sacred attributes, the time attribute naturally has no simple skills.

If Yan were truly immobilized, things could really get bad. However, just when Wang Zhou thought the situation was settled, Yan's right hand suddenly transformed from a palm into a claw, and then grabbed backward. An invisible layer of distorted light patterns silently appeared in front of his right hand, and Wang Zhou immediately sensed something was wrong.

The distorted light flashed by in an instant, then spread out in a flash. A strong suction force came from the front. Wang Zhou, who was floating in mid-air using the power of time slowing, had nowhere to hold on and was directly sucked in.

"What kind of ability is this?" When Wang Zhou was pulled in by the invisible force, his mind went blank. He tried his best to release his powerful heavenly power to resist, but found that it was no use at all. He could only watch helplessly as the distance between himself and Yan rapidly closed.

"Bang!!!" The distance between Wang Zhou and Yan closed rapidly. Just as the two were about to collide, and Wang Zhou had already prepared to counterattack, Yan suddenly transformed his claws into palms and slammed out with a powerful and strong force. Wang Zhou immediately felt as if his insides were being burned.

"Pfft~~~" This disciple of Youqing Valley was struck by the powerful force and his body was shattered. He tumbled twice in mid-air before crashing into his girlfriend's arms. Not only did he spit out a mouthful of blood, but the girl who caught him also suffered a minor injury with blood on her lips.

"Cough cough... This guy, this guy is using a force field, not ordinary power, it seems to be... earth attribute..." Wang Zhou's mind was in a mess, and his whole body ached.

He had experienced this feeling once before; it was like falling in a starfish shape, crashing from the sky onto the water, feeling as if he had been slapped to pieces, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Your move is indeed a bit troublesome, but as long as we get rid of the person who caused the trouble, I won't have to put in much effort to deal with them." On the arena, Yan remained as steady as a pillar, his calm face showing no sign of composure. Looking at Wang Zhou, who was vomiting blood, he only said a few words before falling silent again, staring intently at the remaining members of the Blancpain team.

"This kid just used earth-attribute gravity control, right? But why can he use gravity control in parallel like this?"

"That move just now was such exquisite control of power, actually changing the direction of gravity one after another, which is similar to the effect of time travel."

"Who exactly is this person from the Fei Li team? He's won three matches in a row. Is he planning to defeat the entire Youqing Valley all by himself?"... In the audience seats of Zhongtian Square, the discussion among the big shots became even more intense. Even these powerful figures had only scratched the surface of the battle just now, but even these superficial observations made them dare not underestimate him.

Everyone could clearly see that Wang Zhou, the third member of the Blancpain team, was incredibly strong. His bizarre ability to interweave time was something that even a Heavenly King-level expert would find difficult to dodge or counter.

Everyone thought this move wouldn't be difficult for Yan, but no one expected him to use such a simple and brutal method. I was too lazy to solve the problem and deal with it as it came, so I went straight to deal with the person who was causing the trouble.

Wang Zhou couldn't withstand Yan's dual control of gravity. First, he was pressed down by gravity and rushed towards Yan. Then, Yan suddenly changed the direction of gravity and slapped him. Wang Zhou couldn't brake quickly, and due to inertia, he was doomed.

Once Wang Zhouyi was dealt with, the flickering light and darkness vanished instantly. Yan looked down at the arena again, still extending his hand slightly in a provocative gesture.

The captain of Blancpain Team was grinding his teeth to powder. He was incredibly angry and had the urge to rush in and fight, but reason told him to try again and test his opponent.

Chapter 506 Advancing to the Semifinals

"Are you still going to continue? The best option is to just admit defeat."

On the Zhongtian Square arena, Yan won three consecutive matches, while the members of the Blancpain Empire team were in a heavy mood. However, when they heard Yan's words of persuasion to surrender, they were all extremely dissatisfied and unwilling to accept it.

Blancpain's team captain suddenly looked up and said angrily, "Blancpain has never had the habit of admitting defeat."

"Oh! Even in this situation, are you still going to choose to stubbornly hold on?"

Yan looked down at the guy, and when his gaze fell on him, he could clearly feel the other man's body tremble, obviously under great psychological pressure. "You ants trying to shake a tree are overestimating yourselves. Even if I give you another chance, what difference will it make?"

"I'm not interested in playing these remaining two matches with you guys. Why don't the two of you come at me together, or the entire Blancpain team can come at me together, so I don't waste any more time."

Madness!

When Yan finished speaking, the word flashed through everyone's minds first, and then they were somewhat looking forward to how things would unfold.

The Blancpain Empire team is fully supported by Youqing Valley, one of the five holy lands, and their team members are basically the elites of Youqing Valley.

The Heavenly Jewel Masters of Youqing Valley are skilled in group battles, yet Yan actually wanted to challenge a team of one person by himself. If it weren't for the fact that so many people were listening in public, it would be hard to imagine that there really is such an arrogant person in the world.

"team leader."

There was a lot of discussion around Zhongtian Square, and the Blancpain team was also in an uproar, with many members looking at their captain, waiting for him to make a decision.

The captain of Blancpain Team is under immense pressure. After today's battle, Blancpain Team's chances of winning are actually very low.

They lost three matches in a row, and the remaining two of them had to defeat five opponents. Moreover, there was also Yan, whose strength was unknown, on the other side. According to conventional rules, they were basically doomed to lose. So what he said just now was more of a boast.

However, if, as Yan suggested, the entire team goes up together, with eight people fighting one person, the chances of winning are indeed higher. But if that's the case, it's better to just admit defeat and not lose too much face.

If neither of these two paths is feasible, then the remaining two people can only go together. This way, the chances of winning are not only higher, but their reputation is also slightly better. After all, it was Yan's request, so it can be said that the other party is too arrogant.

If they can deal with Yan, with their remaining two people at the sixth level of cultivation, it's still possible for them to take down the remaining four members of the Fei Li team.

"Let's go."

The captain of Blancpain team and his girlfriend exchanged a glance. Years of tacit understanding allowed them to instantly grasp each other's thoughts, and then they simultaneously leaped onto the ring.

"The remaining two members of Blancpain's team actually went up together."

"What's so strange about that? They can't beat them one-on-one at all! Besides, it was the guy from the Felicity team who asked for it."

"The Blancpain team excels in teamwork, especially in 2v2 situations where they are almost invincible. Even the Beastmen and Zhongtian are not as good as them."

"Is this guy from the Emerald team any good? They already had victory in their grasp, so why take the risk?"

"Who knows? Maybe they just want to be famous."

……

Around Zhongtian Square, countless spectators watched the three on the stage and discussed among themselves. All the teams, including the three seeded teams of Denton, Wanshou, and Zhongtian, came to the rest room and surrounded the stage, all paying attention to the outcome of this battle.

"Aren't you going to make a move? Don't waste my time. Once I take the initiative, you won't have any chance at all."

Yan glanced at the two guys who were trying to confront him, his expression growing impatient. The outcome of this match was already decided.

He had already witnessed the time manipulation abilities of the Blancpain team from the Valley of Affection, and it was nothing special. Once his curiosity was gone, he naturally lost interest in continuing.

"excuse me."

Opposite Yan, the male and female captains of the Blancpain team charged out in a crisscross pattern. Two figures with a somewhat ethereal glow simultaneously flanked him from both sides, moving with incredible speed.

Yan watched the two approaching rapidly, but remained standing still without making much movement. He then slightly raised his left hand and suddenly clenched and pulled.
