Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

But to this day, he has not used either of his two most powerful weapons.

What will it be like when the three martial souls are truly revealed to the world?

He was no longer invincible among his peers, but was almost on par with the elders...

“However… Beibei is dead.” Long Aotian was the first to come to his senses, looking at Du Busi with a serious expression. “Shrek Academy probably won’t let this go easily, after all, he is Mu En’s great-grandson.”

"Hehe, of course I know, otherwise why would I come out?" Poison Undying said with a grin.

"..."

Everyone: I see!

They thought the sect leader had gone off to wander around somewhere, but little did they know he had been secretly protecting them all along.

Sure enough, the next moment, a terrifying aura descended upon the arena.

Xuanzi's furious figure loomed over the arena, his blood-red eyes glaring at Lu Cheng: "You little beast, how dare you kill my Shrek disciple!!!"

The Martial Soul True Form of the Gluttonous Divine Ox was faintly evolving, clearly indicating that it was truly enraged. Xian Lin'er on the other side was no better off, her eyes blazing as she stared intently at Lu Cheng.

The real issue isn't the killing itself, but rather the killing of Shrek's people.

Even if they killed Xie Huanyue of Shrek Academy, it wouldn't matter to Lan Ruoruo and other unimportant people, since they were just ordinary inner court disciples, not true members of Shrek Academy who had high hopes for them.

Beibei.

This was the culmination of the entire Shrek Academy's hard work, the hope for the future, and just like that... it's gone.

Not even a crumb was left.

The Dragon Pill that Elder Mu had given us is also gone.

Not to mention how to explain it to Elder Mu when we get back.

Xuanzi's muscles rapidly expanded, and two spiral horns sprouted from the top of his head, revealing his power as a level 98 Super Douluo. This forced the referee, who was at the Soul Douluo level, to be unable to straighten his back.

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

They stopped Kong Deming from stepping forward to stop them.

The infighting among the original mainland factions was exactly what he wanted to see.

Let them fight it out. He doesn't believe the old fogies of the Body Sect won't come out to protect their own.

"Elder Xuan, it's been a long time..."

Despite the oppressive aura of this top expert, Lu Cheng did not bow. Instead, he smiled and looked at Xuanzi in mid-air.

"Hand over the Dragon Pill! I'll spare your life!" Xuanzi said, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming in ragged gasps.

"Dragon Pill? You must be delirious. Everyone saw Bei Bei die the moment he died. There was no Dragon Pill. Xuan Zi, if Shrek Academy wants a beating, I'm happy to oblige." Du Busi's figure slowly appeared, facing Xuan Zi, and said with a mocking tone.

It's so satisfying to see your own kid completely dominate the other team.

The Body Sect has long since regained its advantage over Shrek Academy, which it suffered a hundred years ago.

Trying to extort or threaten?

No way!

"..."

Xuanzi had known all along that the poison wouldn't die nearby, but he hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly, and his eye twitched.

Shouldn't he be traveling elsewhere? There are so many fun places in Mingdu, why is he staying here all the time...?

Chapter 234 Xuanzi Gets Beaten Up, Xu Tianran's Trump Cards Exposed

"So my Shrek Academy disciples died in vain?!" Xuanzi was furious and embarrassed.

"Otherwise what?" Poisonous Immortal picked at his ear and said with some disdain, "Over the years, your Shrek Academy has relied on its strength to kill countless innocent disciples from other academies in competitions, bullying the weak. Why are you making such a fuss now that one of your students has been killed?"

"There are no rules in the competition that people can't die."

"In other words, if anyone from your Shrek Academy can kill this little monster from our sect, feel free to do so; I will not stop you," Poison Immortal said with a grin, arms crossed.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi's face turned black with anger.

All of our main combat force has been lost, and the remaining reserves are all misfits. They were all recruited after Shrek Academy's reputation plummeted in the last competition. The strongest one is just an ordinary Soul Emperor (Tang Wutong), and the rest are Soul Venerables and Soul Masters. They were chosen from the worst of the worst.

Let alone killing that little beast, it would be good enough if we could just survive in his hands.

What's even more frustrating is that this loss means Shrek Academy has fallen on its way to the top 16.

The results this time can't even be described as bad; they're simply... utterly disastrous.

We can't just go back like this!

Xuanzi's face turned cold, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. He had to make that brat pay the price!

Having said that, he moved swiftly, his hands forming claws as he reached down towards Lu Cheng's figure.

"How dare you!" Poisonous Immortal frowned, clearly not expecting this guy to actually make a move. He glanced at the Sun and Moon Royal Family, who were still sitting on the high platform, not coming forward to stop him, and sneered.

A massive, dark green hand crushed Xuanzi's condensed yellow claw. Its enormous body blotted out the sky and sun, displaying the might of a Limit Douluo, standing tall in everyone's sight as if piercing through heaven and earth.

"Roar!" Xuanzi saw that he had failed and that the other party was coming on strong. He hesitated for a moment, obviously not expecting that this Poison Undying would actually dare to fight him head-on. But he had no choice but to accept the challenge.

A raging bull materialized and roared.

Xu Tianran was stunned, not expecting that the other side would actually start fighting in front of so many people. But before he could react, Du Busi used absolute suppression, lifting the bull by its tail and slamming it down onto the arena.

"Boom!"

Xuanzi's Martial Soul True Body was smashed in the center of the arena, and the shockwave swept outwards. At the same time, the arena, which was originally forged from expensive and rare metals, was smashed to pieces and was obviously ruined.

“Xuanzi, when I was still at level ninety-eight, I could easily hang you up with one hand and beat you. Now that I’ve reached the limit, beating you is child’s play for me. You bull, you should use some strength.” Poison Undying laughed loudly, his mocking voice ringing out.

Xuanzi was panting heavily, exhaling white mist from his nostrils. He kicked off the track with his hind hooves and leaped up, aiming his head at the bull's horns at Du Busi.

Poison Undying, however, wore a mocking expression. He slightly turned his body, and his massive, dark green true form clamped down on the waist and abdomen of the bull. Then, he used the force to throw the bull directly towards the royal family, which was where Xu Tianran was.

"Stop!!!" Xu Tianran's face darkened, and he immediately spoke.

However, since Poison Undying had already exerted its power, it naturally wouldn't stop, and simply pretended not to hear.

"Imperial Advisor, save me!!"

At this moment, Xu Tianran could no longer pretend and looked at the black-robed man beside him with a face full of terror. The aftershocks of a duel between experts of this level could really kill him.

Even though he was already an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

But the man in black robes beside him still curled his lips into a smile.

Damn it!

Seeing the bull growing larger and larger in his field of vision, Xu Tianran dared not gamble on whether the group of evil soul masters would help him. He simply abandoned his wheelchair, covered his legs with metal, and channeled his martial soul to resist the Xuanzi that was being smashed down.

The next instant, the man in black gently tapped Xuanzi's position, and as if time and space were imprisoned, the latter's massive body was blocked by a pitch-black barrier.

A powerful aura emanated in all directions.

The shock caused countless people to shield their eyes with their arms.

"Om..."

With a ringing in their ears, everyone looked again at the disheveled spectator stands.

What's even more surprising is that the regent, who was originally in a wheelchair and limping, is now standing perfectly fine, in a defensive posture, and the aura he exudes is clearly...

Contra!!!

Unexpectedly, what was just a playful exchange between two powerful individuals revealed the Crown Prince's true nature.

"squeak~"

Xu Tianran's face turned pale, his teeth clenched, wishing he could kill Du Busi and Xuanzi right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he gritted his teeth.

"I didn't expect His Highness the Regent to be not lame."

Poison Undying crossed his arms and said with a smile.

"Hehe, I've recovered long ago, but I just used some soul tool power," Xu Tianran replied with a forced smile.

"No, I remembered wrong." Poison Immortal tapped his head with his finger, looking as if he had just realized something. "I thought Your Highness was deaf. I only just remembered that you were a cripple. I never thought you weren't even a cripple."

Xu Tianran's face turned completely black.

The deaf man was mocking him for making such a big fuss earlier, not coming out to quell the situation, but instead sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight. But who would have thought that the fire would actually spread to him?

Clearly, this old man did it on purpose.

Seeing Kong Deming's figure appear in a hurry, Xu Tianran breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he was safe and sound. At the same time, he gave the old man a wink, and Xu Tianran understood what the old man meant... to keep things calm for now.

Although traps had been set up all around Mingdu.

But now is not the time to take action.

Taking action rashly would only bring too much instability to Mingdu; he had to be patient, for a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.

"It was indeed my fault just now. However, since the sect leader and Elder Xuan have already fought, why not put aside our grudges for now and continue with the subsequent matches? If this continues, it will be difficult to compete for the championship of this competition."

Xu Tianran smiled.

Once Lu Cheng revealed his true strength, everyone knew who the champion of the finals would be—without a doubt or controversy.

Therefore, he knew that the Body Sect would definitely not want the subsequent competitions to stagnate.

"What about Shrek Academy?"

Xuanzi, still dazed from the beating, got up and angrily said.

"My Shrek Academy disciples died in vain?"

“Elder Xuan, every competition has rules. There are death quotas for participants. If you continue to cause trouble, I don’t mind declaring Shrek Academy out of the competition right now.”

Xu Tianran said calmly.

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Xuanzi's expression shifted between anger and despair. In reality, being declared eliminated now made no difference; Shrek Academy had already lost...

It's just that after the verdict was announced, it spread more widely and was more embarrassing.
