Old Ma took a deep breath, veins bulging on his forehead, but how could he dare to act out in front of a super strong expert like Old Xuan?
They had no choice but to slink back to the waiting area with Xiao Hongchen.
The Heavenly Fiend Douluo's forehead was covered in black lines. He cursed inwardly at the old man for not dying yet, but dared not show it on his face.
"The competition continues. Please send out your next participant."
The competition continued, but neither the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who participated nor the audience members showed much interest.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had no interest in the competition at all.
It's unclear whether Xiao Hongchen will survive, and the remaining students have no chance of defeating Chen Zifeng, Dai Yueheng, and Ma Xiaotao, the two Soul Emperors remaining from Shrek Academy.
The audience wasn't very interested because Xu Zihuang's earlier performance had been too impressive. The rest of the match was also one-sided.
Chen Zifeng defeated four members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in a row. When facing the last one, his soul power was almost exhausted, so he did a favor and let Dai Yueheng win the last match that would openly decide the outcome for Shrek Academy.
Thus, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament has come to a successful conclusion. The champion remains Shrek Academy, once again the number one academy on the continent.
Chapter 203 Life Essence Pill for a 100,000-Year-Old Plant-Type Soul Beast
On the competition stage, Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, seemed unwilling to stay on the stage for even a moment longer. As soon as Dai Yueheng won, he announced loudly: "The entire Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has come to an end. The final champion is the Shrek Academy team."
This Heavenly Fiend Douluo felt incredibly aggrieved.
Although he was aloof and eccentric, he was also very proud and cared a great deal about his reputation. However, faced with Elder Xuan's oppression, he dared not show any dissatisfaction.
The entire Star Luo Square instantly erupted in excitement. Even though the match ended in a disappointing fashion and did not meet their expectations, witnessing Shrek Academy continue its undefeated myth was still something they would be proud of for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, the earlier duel between Yu Tianhuang and Xiao Hongchen was already quite exciting and thrilling. Overall, this final round had many highlights.
Amid cheers from the audience, Dai Yueheng slowly returned from the competition stage to the waiting area on Shrek Academy's side.
However, there was little sign of victory on his face.
On the surface, it was his victory that secured the championship for Shrek Academy, but it was clear to everyone that the person who changed the course of the finals was actually Yu Tianhuang, who had defeated Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, the brother and sister duo, in succession.
Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire kept his gaze fixed on Yu Tianhuang, who was unconscious and leaning against Ning Tian's chest. Even someone as composed as His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat distracted.
They didn't even have time to watch the later matches.
This demonstrates the profound impact of Xu Zihuang's previous second awakening of his Gold-level Body Martial Soul.
Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger was also observing Xu Zihuang. He looked thoughtful; for some reason, this genius boy from Shrek Academy gave him a vague sense of familiarity.
He then composed himself and asked Xu Jiawei beside him, seemingly uncertainly.
"Your Majesty, was the ability used by that young man named Yu Tianhuang just now a second awakening of his original martial soul?"
"Hmm." Xu Jiawei took a deep breath.
"Moreover, it should be the second awakening of the highest-level Gold-grade Body Martial Soul."
"A second awakening of a Gold-level Body Martial Soul?" Dai Hao frowned.
Although the Body Sect, Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Mingde Hall are ranked as the three most powerful forces in Douluo Continent, the Body Sect is much more mysterious than the latter two.
The Body Sect has few members, and its disciples rarely travel around the Douluo Continent.
Even with Dai Hao's status, his understanding of the original martial soul was not deep.
"In the Soul Master world, the secondary awakening of the Body Martial Soul is divided into three levels: Iron, Bronze, and Silver. But in fact, besides these three levels of secondary awakening, there is also a higher level, Gold-level awakening. This Gold-level awakening has always been a secret within the Body Sect." Xu Jiawei clearly knew more than Dai Hao.
“Some time ago, the Body Sect even took the initiative to contact Yu Tianhuang. Now that Yu Tianhuang has the ability to awaken his Gold-level Body Martial Soul a second time, the Body Sect will definitely not let this go. There will inevitably be a battle between Shrek Academy and the Body Sect over Yu Tianhuang.” At this point, Xu Jiawei changed the subject and instructed Xu Jiujiu on the other side.
"Jiujiu, let's postpone the banquet. Go to the Hall of Offerings and invite Senior Doctor Douluo Wang over. We'll go and present him with a favor."
Xu Jiujiu, who had been gazing at Xu Zihuang from afar, had a look of wonder in her eyes. Coming back to her senses, she nodded solemnly.
"Brother, I'll go right away."
After saying that, she left with light, quick steps.
Given Yu Tianhuang's talent, they could certainly pay any price to win him over. Even if they couldn't bring him into their Star Luo Empire's ranks, they would still try to befriend him.
At the same time, the entire Xingluo Square had turned into a boiling sea of excitement.
Elder Xuan arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy immediately and asked Meng Hongchen to detoxify Xu Sanshi and the others.
With his cultivation level, dealing with the deadly poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad wouldn't be difficult, but it would still require some effort. Since Meng Hongchen is currently in relatively good health, having him directly detoxify everyone would be much easier.
Facing Elder Xuan, Elder Ma, the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team who was concerned about Xiao Hongchen's safety, had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and frustration and signal Meng Hongchen to detoxify Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan.
He doesn't want to stay here for even a second longer.
Soon, Meng Hongchen revived Xu Sanshi and the others who had been poisoned by Zhu Qingbing Toad.
However, before leaving with the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, she couldn't help but look back at Xu Zihuang.
Her intuition told her that Yu Tianhuang hadn't lied earlier.
When she turned to look at Xu Zihuang, her gaze inevitably met that of Ning Tian, who was holding Xu Zihuang.
Next, Wang Yan led the Shrek Academy students to leave.
Dai Yueheng took the initiative to come to Ning Tian's side, his eyes gleaming.
"Junior Ning, it's still quite a distance to get back to the Star Emperor Hotel. Leave Tianhuang to me for now."
Before Ning Tian could respond, He Caitou, with a silly grin on his face, picked up Xu Zihuang and carried him on his back.
"Senior Dai, let me do it."
Dai Yueheng didn't force them, and he and Chen Zifeng helped Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei, who had regained consciousness, to their feet. Jiang Nannan was handed over to Ma Xiaotao.
The group marched in a grand procession toward the Star Emperor Hotel.
Ning Tian followed He Caitou's side, but his concerned gaze remained fixed on Xu Zihuang.
Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan, who had previously fallen into a coma, learned about everything that had happened from the other people. They all looked at Xu Zihuang, who was being carried on He Caitou's back, with a sense of relief.
Regardless, Shrek Academy winning the final championship is something to be happy about.
Subsequently, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire publicly announced that the final award ceremony would not be open to the public.
With this order in place, the heat in Xingluo Square, and indeed the entire Xingluo City, began to gradually dissipate.
There's no good show to watch, so what's the point of staying here?
After all, many people don't live in Xingluo City. And the long-term overcrowding has already caused prices in Xingluo City to skyrocket.
As soon as the Shrek Academy students returned to the Star Emperor Hotel, two strangely shaped middle-aged men walked towards them from the lobby on the first floor.
It was Lang Ya and Yu Tao from the Body Sect.
Lang Ya and Yu Tao looked past the crowd and at Xu Zihuang. Their gazes were as if they were appraising a rare treasure.
Wang Yan, who was walking at the front, looked at Lang Ya and Yu Tao blocking his way and immediately understood.
Although he wasn't there last time, Beibei recounted her encounter with the Body Sect members to him in detail afterward.
Judging from the characteristics of Lang Ya and Yu Tao, it was not difficult for him to determine their identities.
However, he was quite confident, because Elder Xuan was still following behind him.
"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lang Ya ignored Wang Yan and instead took out a small jade bottle from his soul tool.
Floating inside this small jade bottle is a strange elixir, no bigger than a longan, entirely emerald green. It is a vibrant, life-giving green, and its translucent interior faintly reveals the flowing emerald liquid within.
When Elder Xuan, who was at the very back of the group, saw the pill, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his eyes calm yet tinged with a hint of mockery.
"A pill refined from the life essence of a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast, your Body Sect is truly generous. Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
No one had a clear idea of how precious this pill was, but since it was related to a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it was destined to be an extraordinary pill.
Yu Tao, who had a short temper, was instantly displeased by Elder Xuan's tone, while Lang Ya remained calm and smiled slightly at Elder Xuan.
"Elder Xuan, you are joking. Those who possess the Body Martial Soul are part of our Body Sect. We are all one family. How can you say that we have lost everything?"
"Oh?"
A meaningful look flashed in Elder Xuan's eyes as he spoke softly.
"Leave the pills behind, and you may leave."
Langya readily handed the jade bottle to Elder Xuan, and then left with Yu Tao.
When Elder Xuan opened the jade bottle, a life force so rich it was almost tangible rushed out, but this life force remained condensed and lingered around the emerald green pill.
"A 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast, the Azure Vine." Elder Xuan murmured, placing the pill into Xu Zihuang's mouth. He then patted Xu Zihuang a few times and addressed the crowd.
"Go back and rest."
"Yes, Elder Xuan."
The group responded and headed up the stairs to the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel.
The other trainees left, but Wang Yan stayed behind.
"Elder Xuan, this Body Sect..."
Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "That old monster will definitely make a move. Return to the academy first thing tomorrow morning. Once we're at the academy, everything will be much easier."
Chapter 204 The Immortal Doctor Douluo Wang Xian'er
Wang Yan's expression turned serious, and he hesitated before saying, "Elder Xuan, I remember you once said that the second awakening of a Gold-level Body Martial Soul has always been something only the Sect Master of the Body Sect could possess, and one must also reach the level of a Title Douluo to complete the Gold-level awakening. What about Tianhuang's situation..."
"These are conclusions reached by the academy's predecessors after dealing with the Body Sect. After all, we are not the Body Sect, which has conducted ten thousand years of research on Body Martial Souls, so these conclusions may not all be accurate." The confusion in Elder Xuan's dark red eyes vanished, replaced by a captivating light.
"But the ability that little guy Yu Tianhuang just used was definitely a second awakening of a Gold-level Body Martial Soul. The most significant characteristic is that when he used this ability, his Soul Power, Spiritual Power, and even Life Force were being overdrawn at an alarming rate. Only a second awakening of a Gold-level Body Martial Soul would overdraw a Soul Master's Life Force."
"Overdrafting your life force?!" Wang Yan was shocked.
Compared to ordinary people, Soul Masters' bodies are nourished by Soul Power over a long period, resulting in significantly stronger vitality. For example, when suffering the same injury, a Soul Master can often recover completely in just ten days to half a month, while an ordinary person would need at least several months or even half a year to recuperate. Another more direct manifestation of this is in lifespan; a super strong person like Elder Xuan could easily live to be two or three hundred years old.
However, if a Soul Master overdraws a large amount of their life force, the consequences will be quite severe.
Shortening one's lifespan is secondary; the most critical issue is overdrawing one's potential and impacting future development. It's not uncommon for a Title Douluo to suffer severe injuries and excessive depletion of their life force, resulting in their cultivation stagnation.
Not to mention that Yu Tianhuang is currently only at the Soul Sect level.
