The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is truly a grand undertaking," Wang Yan sighed softly, muttering to himself.

"I wonder how Xiao Hongchen activated this level nine soul tool."

"It's probably because this soul tool has a core energy storage array inside, storing soul power in advance and then using it directly to activate the soul tool," He Caitou said with a simple smile.

"This is also the direction my teacher has been researching."

Hearing He Caitou's words, a shadow fell over everyone's hearts once again.

The Soul Guidance Technology of the original three great empires of Douluo Continent was indeed not on the same level as that of the Sun Moon Empire. If this technology were to be used in war after it matured, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xu Zihuang and He Caitou exchanged glances. Among everyone present, they were probably the only two who were not surprised by this.

The Sun Moon Empire actually began researching this technology hundreds of years ago. Given the passage of time, it's normal for there to have been progress.

Moreover, Xu Zihuang knew from his past life's memories that more than a decade later, the Sun Moon Empire had even developed a technology to use sunlight to power soul tools.

At this moment, Dai Yueheng calmed down and apologized to Wang Yan.

"Teacher Wang, please do as you suggest. I was being rash."

Wang Yan, of course, would not delve into this matter. He nodded slightly to Tian Sha Douluo to indicate that the list would not be changed, before turning to look at the crowd.

"Alright, everyone, let's hurry up and recover our soul power so that we can get back to our best condition before the individual elimination rounds."

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan did not appear in the previous team battle. Only Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, Xu Zihuang and Bei Bei need to restore their soul power.

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Chen Zifeng, the three inner court disciples, immediately entered a state of cultivation, while Xu Zihuang and Bei Bei used baby bottles to quickly restore their soul power.

Xu Zihuang already had a level 5 baby bottle given to him by Wang Yan, while Beibei was using the level 4 baby bottle that He Caitou had.

To restore soul power using a baby bottle, you don't need to hold it in your mouth; you just need to use your soul power to guide the soul power stored in the bottle into your body.

The baby bottles used by Xu Zihuang and Beibei are necklace-style, with rings of silvery-white light emanating from them.

The difference is that Bei Bei has to completely immerse herself in it to guide this extremely pure soul power, but Xu Zihuang, as a spirit attribute soul master, can guide this soul power to flow continuously into the meridians in his body while observing Xiao Hongchen and the others in the waiting area on the other side.

After the semi-final match against Douling Royal Academy, Xu Zihuang used a level 5 healing bottle in front of everyone.

No one was surprised by this.

At the edge of the waiting area, Ning Tian, ​​who did not need to participate in the battle, kept his gaze on Xu Zihuang, while Wang Dong, who had not participated in the battle either, remained as taciturn as ever.

Shrek Academy had an incredibly smooth run in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. Even with Wang Dong's Soul Master level strength, he was unable to participate in the competition.

Without the experience of fighting side by side, it is difficult to truly integrate into the group.

Wang Dong looked up at Xu Zihuang, who had become the center of attention, and couldn't help but bite his lip.

They both possess twin martial souls and are both twelve years old, yet the difference between them is enormous.

This wasn't the first time he had experienced such frustration.

Ning Tian keenly noticed Wang Dong's unusual behavior and his heart tightened.

In the Shrek Academy team, besides Ma Xiaotao, Wang Dong was another person who made her wary.

As the sole successor to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, her knowledge and experience were incredibly broad.

The owner of the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul must be a woman. However, she has never shown any sign that she knows the truth.

Although Yu Tianhuang and Wang Dong are not close at the moment, who can be sure what will happen in the future?

During that selection competition for core disciples of the outer academy, she immediately recognized that the hammer-shaped second martial soul used by Wang Dong was the Clear Sky Hammer.

Wang Dong comes from the Clear Sky Sect, possesses twin martial souls, and is also one of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

She has no advantage in terms of either innate or acquired conditions.

The waiting area where the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is located.

"Your soul power has been overdrawn and depleted, resulting in more than ten broken meridians in your body. For the time being, you will be unable to use your martial soul and soul power," Elder Ma said with a grim expression.

"Like a dragon, give up."

After being treated by the healing-type Soul Master of the Star Luo Empire, Ma Rulong no longer looked as disheveled as before, covered in blood. However, he was experiencing excruciating pain in his meridians and even found it difficult to condense his Soul Power.

How can someone like that be allowed to play in a match?

Actually, he had dodged all of Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Showers on the competition stage. He used his invincible shield to defend against the attacks of Dai Yueheng's fourth soul skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and Chen Zifeng's fifth soul skill, Soul Chasing Sword Formation.

This is also why he didn't choose to concede immediately, because the Phoenix Meteor Shower cannot completely cover all areas of the competition stage. As long as he can withstand other attacks during those gaps, there is still a chance.

However, the temperature of the Phoenix Meteor Shower was terrifying, completely different from when he was in the air. He only clearly felt it when the Phoenix Meteors descended upon him.

But by then it was too late. He had to mobilize all his soul power to release a level six invincible shield to resist the terrifying temperature.

Another point is that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister, can still participate in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, while he only has this one chance.

It was the combination of these two reasons that led him to make this wrong judgment.

He was unwilling to accept it, but he was helpless.

Unable to use his martial spirit and soul power, what difference is there between him and a cripple at this moment?

Mika and the others, who were rescued by Tian Sha Douluo, were in a similar situation to Ma Rulong, having lost their fighting ability in a short period of time.

"Leave it to me, Captain."

Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Hongchen's face was solemn. He crossed his arms and looked at Ma Rulong. His eyes no longer held the arrogance of the past, but only a burning fighting spirit.

"Mr. Ma, let Meng go first, and I'll go second. That way, we might still have a chance to turn the tide."

Xiao Hongchen has always been very arrogant, and at least in the eyes of everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, this is the first time he has shown such an expression.

Xiao Hongchen has always been the greatest genius in the history of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. His exceptional talent makes him not only a Soul Master, but also an outstanding and powerful Soul Master.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the martial soul, the two can be combined almost perfectly.

In terms of overall strength, he is not much inferior to Ma Rulong. If his cultivation level catches up with Ma Rulong in the future, he will surely surpass him in every aspect.

He and Meng Hongchen hadn't appeared before because they were being used as a trump card against Shrek Academy. But who knew Shrek Academy would be so powerful?

"Xiao Hongchen, calm down."

Elder Ma's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't forget what you mean to our academy. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to the hall master?"

Xiao Hongchen's position at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is extremely sensitive. The tragic fate of his grandson, Ma Rulong, is right before his eyes.

Even though the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was defeated this time, he did not want to and dared not let Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen suffer any harm.

"Mr. Ma, I am very calm." Xiao Hongchen met Mr. Ma's gaze calmly.

"To be cowardly before the battle is not my style. Even though I know that Shrek Academy is very strong this year, I will not back down. Elder Ma, I believe you have also seen that the reason why Shrek Academy launched such a powerful offensive just now was because of Yu Tianhuang's first soul skill. In the individual elimination round, this soul skill will definitely not be able to play the same role as before."

Old Ma remained silent; Xiao Hongchen's current style was completely different from his previous one.

"Brother, I'll stay with you." Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, showed a slight change in expression, and a fighting spirit was also gathering in his icy blue eyes.

From a young age, her talent was no less than that of her older brother, and she was just as proud as Xiao Hongchen.

"Smile, you've finally matured."

While Old Ma was still hesitating, the listless Ma Rulong revealed a genuine smile to Xiao Hongchen. This was completely different from his usual stern and stern demeanor when he was reprimanding Xiao Hongchen.

“Grandpa, let Xiao and Xiaomeng go. We are fighting for honor. Sometimes being too rational is not good. Why has our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy been suppressed by Shrek Academy for thousands of years? In many cases, it is because we lack this kind of indomitable and do-or-die spirit. Even if we cannot defeat Shrek Academy in this competition, it will still be a valuable experience. Xiao and Xiaomeng have enough talent and foundation to make a comeback.”

"Xiao, it's up to you. My martial soul and talent are lacking, but you are different. I believe that in the future, you will be the ones to represent our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and defeat Shrek Academy." Ma Rulong endured the pain and extended his right fist towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen was taken aback at first, then shook hands with Ma Rulong, making a fist, and smiled.

"Brother Ma, you're wrong. There might still be a chance to defeat Shrek Academy."

Ma Rulong chuckled softly and said nothing more.

It seems that this failure may not be such a bad thing after all.

As a genius that their Sun Moon Empire has only seen once in thousands of years, Xiao Hongchen's growth is a blessing for the empire.

Compared to that, his personal honor and disgrace were insignificant. He did indeed want to defeat Shrek Academy personally, but he preferred to see the Sun Moon Empire have an unlimited future.

Old Ma frowned, but in the end he still compromised. He wasn't just convinced by his grandson's words, because he really couldn't afford to offend these two little devils.

"Alright then. But let's make it clear beforehand: if things can't be done, don't force it."

And so the participants and their order of appearance for the Sun and Moon Team's individual elimination tournament were determined.

From atop the imperial city wall, Xu Jiawei, who had witnessed the entire scene, smiled and asked, "Brother, what do you think of these siblings, Hongchen and her brother?"

"A prodigy, but still quite a bit behind that young man named Yu Tianhuang." Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Palace looked thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that Yueheng and the others have experienced a significant boost in their martial soul attributes due to Yu Tianhuang's first soul skill."

“Brother, your feeling is correct. That girl named Ma Xiaotao has directly stepped into the level of ultimate fire.”

"Ultimate Fire?" Even Xu Jiujiu, who was standing to the side, widened her beautiful blue eyes this time.

“Ma Xiaotao is a direct descendant of Luo Hongjun, the Phoenix Fighter of the original Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago. The attribute of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is not far from the ultimate fire. Yu Tianhuang’s soul skill should have an ability similar to sublimating the attribute of a martial soul.” Xu Jiawei sighed softly.

“We underestimated his talent before. Just having this first soul skill is enough to make the Empire willing to pay any price to win him over. Jiu Jiu, after this competition ends, please send an invitation to Shrek Academy on my behalf, inviting them to the palace for a banquet.”

Chapter 198 Zhu Qingbingchan and Langya's Test

The level 5 milk bottle was indeed effective; a silvery-white halo emanated from it, and pure soul power was continuously injected into Xu Zihuang's meridians.

Among the students of Shrek Academy, the one with the strongest physical abilities is not Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, both Soul Emperor level experts, but Xu Zihuang.

Although Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng had no shortage of rare and precious materials to lay a solid foundation and enhance their abilities since childhood, Xu Zihuang was the only son of a powerful prince in the Sun Moon Empire, and the treatment he enjoyed was no less than that of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.

Moreover, he possesses twin martial souls, an ultimate martial soul, two external soul bones, and a top-tier Thunderous Hell Vine right leg bone. All these enhancements combined create his monstrous physical attributes.

After fusing with the right leg bone of the Thunderous Hell Vine, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm told him during a chance moment of lucidity that with his current physical condition, once his soul power reached level 50, he would be able to easily fuse with a soul ring with an age of around 50,000 years.

It should be noted that under normal circumstances, the age limit for the eighth spirit ring in a typical Contra game is only within this range.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Zihuang's soul power was replenished once again.

Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Chen Zifeng, the three inner court disciples, as well as Bei Bei, are still in a state of cultivation.

The originally dilapidated arena in front of him was restored to its original state by several earth-attribute soul masters sent by the Star Luo Empire.

Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, was standing in the center of the competition stage. Judging from his appearance, the second round of elimination matches was about to begin.

The roster has been submitted, and the upcoming individual elimination rounds and, if necessary, the 2-2-3 battle strategy will be based on this roster. Regardless of whether Shrek Academy wins or loses the individual elimination rounds, Gongyang Mo, He Caitou, Wang Dong, and Ning Tian will not need to play.

Xu Zihuang smiled and exchanged a glance with Ning Tian, ​​then relaxed and leaned back on the soft sofa, preparing for the next individual elimination round.
