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

Huo Yuhao's last shred of solace was shattered.

Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, was clearly taken aback by Huo Yuhao's 'amazing' three hundred-year spirit rings, and hesitated for a moment before announcing the result of the match.

"In the first elimination match, Haotian Sect won."

The moment the soul-guided shield was removed, Bei Bei stepped onto the competition stage and looked at Tang Wutong.

"You must be Wang Dong, right? With your background, you must understand the connection between our two sects. Can we negotiate so that we can preserve our strength and better deal with our common enemy?"

By saying this, Bei Bei was essentially laying her cards on the table. Several men in black from the Holy Spirit Team immediately stood up, but were stopped by their leader, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.

However, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo's eyes turned incredibly cold.

"Negotiation? There's absolutely no need for that." Tang Wutong looked at Bei Bei haughtily.

"The so-called common enemy you mentioned doesn't exist either. Because we'll take care of them before you even encounter them. Also, my name is Tang Wutong, and I only have this one name."

Bei Bei's expression changed slightly. After a moment's thought, she said with a deep gaze, "Alright. The Tang Clan team will concede all remaining matches."

After saying this, he took Huo Yuhao back to the Tang Sect team's rest area.

Tang Ya cast an inquiring glance at Bei Bei, but did not question Bei Bei's decision. Although she was nominally in charge of the Tang Clan, she was completely inexperienced in this area, and the real decision-making always came from Bei Bei.

Beibei called the Tangmen team members and left the arena. Later, she explained her reasons for doing so at the Mingyue Hotel.

First of all, it would be unwise for the Tang Sect to engage in a direct confrontation with the Haotian Sect at this point. After all, neither Tang Wutong nor Xu Sanshi are confident of victory against Tang Wutong alone. The remaining six members of the Haotian Sect all possess considerable strength, and their overall power is certainly far superior to theirs.

Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect will encounter the Holy Spirit Team much sooner. After the Clear Sky Sect's losses, the Holy Spirit Team's strength will inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, when the Haotian Sect truly faced the Holy Spirit Team, the Tang Sect members were once again shrouded in gloom.

The Holy Spirit Team surprisingly chose to concede defeat.

In this way, if the Tang Clan team wants to advance, they will have to go head-to-head with the Holy Spirit Team.

Chapter 390 The Showdown Approaches and Brothers Turn Against Each Other

The group stage may seem complicated, but in reality, each team simply needs to play one match every other day according to the pre-arranged schedule until they have played against all seven other teams in the group.

The other six teams Shrek Academy faced were generally weak, lacking even a single Soul Emperor-level expert. Under Wang Qiu'er's leadership, they encountered virtually no obstacles and easily won the subsequent five matches.

This morning's match will be the Shrek Academy team's final game in the group stage.

As late spring approaches, temperatures are gradually rising. The bright sunshine dispels the last trace of chill in the spring breeze, making it pleasantly comfortable.

Although Xu Zihuang did not play in these matches, Shrek Academy's matches were still the focus of attention for the vast majority of the audience.

This is not only because of Shrek Continent's reputation as the number one academy and its numerous past glories, but also because of the Shrek team's formidable overall strength.

Wang Qiu'er, in particular, is stunningly beautiful and fights fiercely, which has earned her a number of loyal followers.

Xu Zihuang received the same treatment. The difference was that his supporters were mostly young women, such as noble ladies, female soul masters from sects, and female soul masters competing in academies. Wang Qiu'er, on the other hand, had a wider following, attracting male viewers of almost no age limit.

As soon as Wang Qiu'er led the Shrek Academy team onto the competition stage, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Shrek Academy's opponent today is a sect called Hailan Sect, which comes from the Star Luo Empire.

The Hailan Sect's main residence is located in a city on the southeastern coast of the Star Luo Empire. Because it is far from the Sun Moon Empire's mainland and its members are all sea soul masters, it has always been extremely averse to soul tools. It is a purely traditional soul master sect.

At this moment, everyone on the Hailan Sect team looked rather grim, having been at a significant disadvantage in terms of morale from the very beginning. After all, in the previous individual elimination rounds, all three members of their team, including their captain, had been easily defeated by Wang Qiu'er.

It was Wang Qiu'er who voluntarily gave up the individual elimination rounds, which gave them the opportunity to have this seven-on-seven team battle.

Following behind Wang Qiu'er were Dai Huabin, Wu Feng, Nanmen Yun'er, Xiao Xiao, Zhu Lu, and Ning Tian. The purpose of using this lineup in team battles was clear: to pursue burst damage and strong attacks.

This was Zhang Lexuan's arrangement; she was deliberately training and refining the Shrek Academy team. While the Hailan Sect posed no threat to them, the later final stages wouldn't be so easy.

The Haotian Sect, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the Holy Spirit Team, the Heavenly Dragon Gate, and even the Snow Demon Sect, which has members of the Body Sect lurking in the shadows, are all highly competitive opponents.

Furthermore, Yu Tianhuang has entered a deep meditative state. When he will finish his training and return to the competition remains unknown.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Lexuan didn't want to disturb Yu Tianhuang and waste this hard-won opportunity for deep meditation. Therefore, she had to make plans in advance.

Even without Yu Tianhuang, the Shrek Academy team wouldn't necessarily be weaker than the other teams.

With Ning Tian's support from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support-type weapon spirit on the continent, the Shrek team will definitely have a huge advantage in team battles.

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan chose to use battles as practice. In the six matches at the end of the round-robin stage, there were several opportunities to determine the winner in the individual elimination rounds, but she held back and chose to go for the team battles later.

Every match at Shrek Academy was hosted by Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo. Zheng Zhan stood in the center of the arena, and after both sides were in position, he announced the start of the match without any further words.

Now that the match has progressed this far, the rules of team battles need no further explanation.

The two sides released their martial spirits simultaneously, and the difference in their overall strength was immediately apparent.

Although the seven members of the Hailan Sect possessed different martial souls, their soul power was uniformly a deep blue, rendering the space behind them as profound as the ocean.

Of the seven members of the Hailan Sect team, three are Soul Kings and four are Soul Masters.

Leading the charge was the captain of the Hailan Sect team, a defensive-type Battle Soul King. His dark skin was enveloped in a dense blue light. Suddenly, thick, deep blue tortoise shells erupted from his body, enveloping his muscular frame.

Unlike typical turtle-type martial souls, his shell had identical shape and patterns on both sides. At this moment, he appeared to be wearing a special double-sided turtle armor.

The other two Soul Kings also possessed unique martial souls: a seahorse and a jellyfish.

As for the remaining four, the changes in their martial souls were more uniform. Certain parts of their bodies had acquired fine scales. These weren't dragon scales, but fish scales. Clearly, their martial souls were some kind of fish-like spirit beast that lived in the sea.

After releasing their martial souls, the Shrek Academy students launched a coordinated and unified charge.

Wang Qiu'er took the lead, charging ahead. Dai Huabin and Wu Feng, both powerful offensive Soul Masters, were on either side of her. Zhu Lu quietly concealed herself behind the three, while Nanmen Yun'er swooped down from the air towards the seven members of the Hailan Sect team.

"Nine treasures turn out to reveal crystal." Ning Tian, ​​who was lagging behind, stretched out her right hand and gave a soft shout.

Her body spun gracefully in place, and a dazzling nine-colored light was released from her body.

Nine-colored light condensed in Ning Tian's palm, transforming into a nine-colored pagoda over a foot tall. The Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda was radiant with light, seemingly inlaid with countless gems. The five soul rings around it pulsated and flashed one after another, and beams of brilliant light shot out from the pagoda, landing precisely on Wang Qiu'er and her companions.

The Seahorse Soul King on the Hailan Sect's side also possessed an optimally matched set of soul rings. Following the battle plan previously discussed by their Hailan Sect team, he unhesitatingly activated his ten-thousand-year-level fifth soul skill.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Water Prison!" Seahorse Soul King slammed his right hand onto the ground. A black soul ring rippled out, and a deep blue vortex of seawater swept around his body, instantly enveloping half of the arena, and it continued to expand.

However, due to the barrier of the soul guide shield, the range of his fifth soul skill, Water Prison, is limited to the arena.

His four teammates, who possessed fish-like martial souls, were truly in their element, their soul rings spinning as they swam rapidly through the water prison, poised to pounce.

However, the one who received the biggest boost was their main Soul Master. This main Soul Master was the only female Soul Master in their Hailan Sect team. The woman was petite, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and her appearance was quite pretty.

Her martial soul was a special jellyfish, containing potent poison. Countless pink tentacles drifted within the water prison, and in the next instant, they were drawn by the expanding whirlpool of seawater and wrapped around the Shrek Academy team.

The fact that the Hailanzong team was able to advance to the group stage through the first three rounds of the preliminary elimination rounds was not entirely due to luck.

They were indeed at a disadvantage in terms of soul power cultivation, but their advantage lay in the unique abilities of sea soul masters. Their opponents in the previous rounds did not have a good understanding of their abilities.

In three consecutive preliminary elimination matches, they relied on the amplification provided by the Seahorse Soul King's Water Prison Soul Skill to defeat their opponents in team battles and ultimately achieve victory.

The water prison filling the entire arena provided the Hailan Sect team with an environment similar to being at sea. Under such conditions, sea spirit masters could unleash their strongest abilities.

Despite being about to be swallowed by the water prison, the Shrek Academy team showed no signs of slowing down.

Amplified by Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, Wang Qiu'er's aura suddenly surged. Golden light shone on her right hand, and an incredibly solid golden dragon head materialized, appearing as if sculpted from gold, lifelike and exquisite.

Golden flames were still wrapped around the golden dragon's head, making it extraordinary.

This was Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Head, imbued with the fourth soul skill, Golden Flame Burst. With the combined effects of the two soul skills, plus the enhancement from Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, the power of her Golden Dragon Head far surpassed that of a typical ten-thousand-year soul skill.

When the golden flames appeared on the golden dragon's head, all seven members of the Hailan Sect team froze, a fear originating from their martial soul essence arose spontaneously.

Strictly speaking, water-attribute martial souls and fire-attribute martial souls are mutually restraining. Wang Qiu'er's current martial soul is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which possesses near-maximum fire attribute, creating a natural suppressive effect in terms of attributes.

"Boom—" The golden dragon's head suddenly expanded and grew larger the moment it was blasted out by Wang Qiu'er. Although its color became illusory, it seemed as if a real golden dragon had raised its head and descended to earth.

The dragon's head passed through, and the rotating water prison was instantly evaporated.

With an extremely solemn expression, the captain of the Hailan Sect activated his strongest soul skill to block in front of him, his deep blue tortoise shell forming a massive shield. However, against the golden dragon head, whose attributes and power both suppressed him, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

His double-sided tortoise shell, which protected his chest and back, was shattered by the golden dragon head, and his body flew backward, crashing heavily into the soul-guiding shield.

Just as the remaining six members of the Hailan Sect team were preparing to use their soul skills for defense, Xiao Xiao, who was standing in front of Ning Tian, ​​suddenly narrowed her eyes and raised her hands.

Her face seemed to have gained a touch of gentleness, and she held a jade flute of emerald green in her hand.

The jade flute is very long, with a lifelike phoenix relief engraved on it.

A soft melody began to play, and a layer of emerald green light spread outward from Xiao Xiao's body.

A mere moment of hesitation sealed the fate of the Hailan Sect team.

A flash of emerald light streaked across the sky as Nanmen Yun'er severed countless pink tentacles from the main control soul master of the Hailan Sect team, her sharp jade blade pointing directly at his neck.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's methods were not as gentle as Nanmen Yun'er's. Especially Wu Feng, who had been watching Ning Tian and Yu Tianhuang's close relationship for some time, had accumulated countless negative emotions within her. She showed no intention of holding back.

A pair of dragon claws reached forward, and her fourth spirit ring shone. Her body vanished, and fiery red light converged into a red dragon's silhouette, flashing through the air and disappearing in an instant.

Fourth Soul Skill: Dragon Flight.

The four members of the Hailan Sect team who possessed fish-type martial souls were falling from the sky to the ground as the water prison disappeared. They were swallowed up by the red dragon's light and shadow.

Fortunately, referee Zheng Zhan intervened in time, preventing the four from suffering serious injuries.

Finally, the Seahorse Soul King was also completely overwhelmed by Dai Huabin. With his advantages in spirit quality and spirit power cultivation, and the assistance of Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, if he couldn't achieve a complete crushing victory, then he wouldn't deserve to be called an elite disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court.

Zhu Lu, who didn't need to take action herself, quietly appeared beside Dai Huabin.

Like a devastating force, the Shrek Academy team, with its full-scale attack, completely crushed this unique Sea Soul Master team.

And this is far from their limit. Even now, with Xu Zihuang absent, no one dares to underestimate this Shrek team.

After Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, announced the match results, the Shrek Academy team calmly and composedly withdrew from the arena, leaving early. There was no exchange among them. This demeanor only added to the mystery and awe of the audience.

With this match concluded, the Shrek team has secured first place in their group and advanced to the final stage.

The next match is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's competition. Although Xiao Hongchen did not return, under Meng Hongchen's leadership, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team defeated their opponents without any suspense and advanced together with Shrek Academy.

The match between Tangmen Team and Holy Spirit Team will be held this afternoon.

The fourth floor of Mingyue Hotel.

Huo Yuhao sat on his bed in his room, head down and silent. His messy long black hair obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

Tang Wutong's cultivation was far superior to Huo Yuhao's, but Huo Yuhao, affected by Tang Wutong's soul power shock, took nearly half a month to fully recover.

During his recovery, he often recalled Tang Wutong's disdainful and disgusted expression, as well as the word "good-for-nothing" that completely shattered his mental defenses.

"Since you high and mighty family scions have looked down on me from the beginning, why bother putting on airs?!" Huo Yuhao clenched his fists with a ferocious expression.

Beibei just came to check on his physical condition, and from his perspective, all he saw was hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness. He even started to imagine that Beibei was doing this so that he could play in the match against the Holy Spirit Team this afternoon.
