Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect

Choice is more important than talent.

At this point, the focus returned to the field. After Tai Long summoned his martial spirit, Ma Hongjun, not to be outdone, summoned the Evil Fire Phoenix. From a distance, Ma Hongjun's martial spirit looked very similar to the Fire Phoenix, both red and engulfed in flames. However, a closer look revealed that the Fire Phoenix's eyes shone with an evil light, and it was not a true Fire Phoenix.

Ma Hongjun is only level 41, so he is much weaker than Tailong in terms of momentum.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

Tai Long and Ma Hongjun shouted at the same time, and both of them were possessed by martial spirits at the same time. Ma Hongjun was wrapped in flames, and a pair of fire feathers appeared behind him. However, considering Ma Hongjun's body shape, he looked more like a turkey than a phoenix.

With a loud bang, the three-meter-tall Tyrone jumped high into the air, like a golden-haired King Kong, and punched down heavily, instantly shaking the entire fighting arena. Although the bird and beast spirits could fly, their disadvantage was that their defense was very weak, so they naturally did not dare to take Tyrone's attack head-on.

Ma Hongjun quickly retreated to avoid the punch, then activated his first soul ring, and a flame spurted out of his mouth, which was a one-way long-range attack skill.

"Hmph, you dare to show off your tricks in front of an expert!" Facing Ma Hongjun's flame laser, Tyrone also opened his mouth, and then a golden laser shot out from the depths of his throat.

Tailong's mouth laser is not even a soul ring skill, but an ability that comes with his martial soul after evolving through the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. Just like Ma Hongjun can fly, Tailong's golden giant ape also has special abilities.

"what!"

Rumble! The two men clashed with each other, but it was obvious that Tailong, with his stronger soul power and martial spirit, was superior. The golden light wave instantly broke through Ma Hongjun's flame laser.

Ma Hongjun also knew that his soul power was eight levels behind and he couldn't fight head-on. He hurriedly flew into the sky and then used his second and third soul skills: "Second soul skill, Phoenix Rising in Flame. Third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring in the Sky!"

Ma Hongjun's two soul skills are not attack soul skills but status soul skills. The second soul skill can increase the temperature of Ma Hongjun's phoenix flame and the power of soul skills. The third soul skill increases the flying speed and increases the explosion range.

After the two soul skills were added, Ma Hongjun's eyes blazed with fire, and the fire feathers behind him flapped violently. Countless fire feathers were like meteorites, indiscriminately covering the fighting arena below. The first soul skill was a hundred-year soul skill, a small skill with a very short cooldown time. As long as the soul power was sufficient, it could be used once every few seconds.

Boom boom, bursts of artillery bombardment were heard. Ma Hongjun's position in Shrek Academy was an explosive soul master. Like a turret, he could control his opponent and deal a fatal blow to him.

A continuous stream of flames bombarded the air, and the entire fighting arena was engulfed in scorching flames.

"Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike! The reason for your failure is that you can't fly, end it, big fool!!" Ma Hongjun shouted, and a shadow of a fire phoenix wrapped around his body, and magma erupted from the ground in an instant.

Ma Hongjun in the air was like a fire phoenix reborn from the magma, turning into a sharp phoenix sword and swooping down from the air.

Boom! This attack was Ma Hongjun's fourth soul skill, coming from a 4,500-year-old scorpion soul beast, the King of the Earth. It was incredibly powerful, and a terrifying heat wave swept across the entire arena.

"Sister, this fat guy from Shrek Academy is really not what you see. He has such terrifying destructive power." Shui Yue'er, who was sitting next to Shui Bing'er at Tianshui Academy, joked, "Sister, his martial spirit is very effective against your Ice Phoenix."

Shui Bing'er ignored her sister's teasing, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then shook her head and said, "He's going to lose."

Sure enough, the next second, when the flames in the field slowly fell, everyone present saw that Tyrone, whose golden hair was burnt black, opened the five fingers of his right hand, just like a football goalkeeper catching a violently shot football with one hand, and grabbed Ma Hongjun's head with one hand.

"Fatty, so what if you can fly? Your flames are not even as hot as the water in my bath." Although Tyrone's whole body was burned black, even his right hand that caught the soul skill with one hand was burned black by the phoenix flame, with his skin and flesh torn, but Tyrone was really tough.

Not only was he tough in words, his body was even tougher. He seemed not to be afraid of pain, and even when his skin was burned to pieces, he did not show a trace of pain. He did not even use any defensive soul skills, and just relied on his strong body to endure it.

"You! How is that possible!" Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded. He was a 41st level Soul Master, and he had actually withstood the attack with his mortal body after bursting out with all his strength! Even Boss Dai, the strongest physique in Shrek Academy, couldn't be so arrogant!

With a snap, Tailong grabbed Ma Hongjun, who was trying to escape, in his hand, just like holding a little bird.

"Roar!" Tyrone grabbed Ma Hongjun and slammed him into the ground, then his fists hit him like a storm.

Boom boom boom! It was like returning all of Ma Hongjun's attacks. "You just hit me, I'll hit you as many times as you hit me." Boom boom boom, punch after punch, each one leaving a huge hole in the fighting arena.

The master had already shouted surrender, but Tyrone seemed not to hear it and did not stop at all.

"Tyrone."

Whoosh! The fist blew up a cloud of dust. Tai Long's fist stopped at Ma Hongjun's face, which was bruised and swollen, and the spirit possession had been removed. Hearing Tang San's voice, Tai Long withdrew his fist and grinned: "Tui, you still dare to challenge the young master? You must get past me, Tai Long first! Ha, monster."

Chapter 254 Finals Location

In Tai Lung's eyes, Tang San is invincible, the supreme god in his heart, just like his grandfather worshipped Tang Hao immensely, and so did Tai Lung. Tang San, who could make his martial soul evolve, was a god, wasn't he!

Therefore, Tyrone felt that Shrek Academy, which dared to challenge the Young Sect Master, was insulting the Young Sect Master and the sect, and he was naturally unhappy about it.

Tai Long kicked Ma Hongjun, who was barely breathing, out of the fighting arena.

"Hey, Fatty, are you okay?" Oscar ran over hurriedly and used his soul power to produce a healing sausage and put it into Ma Hongjun's mouth, but Ma Hongjun's mouth was twisted by Tyrone and he couldn't chew it even if he wanted to eat it.

The tall Tai Long swept his eyes over the Shrek people, not afraid of their angry gazes at all, and said, "There's no need for the Young Sect Master to take action. I can defeat you all by myself. If you don't agree, you can all come together!"

Tai Long's huge body was like a golden mountain. Standing on the fighting arena, he just blocked the position of the Wuhun Academy, as if to say, if you want to challenge Tang San, you must first climb over this mountain of Tai Long.

"You!" Dai Mubai and others suddenly stood up and wanted to go on stage to avenge their teammates, but the master grabbed their clothes.

The master shook his head and said, "Endure."

With a humming sound, a faint light suddenly enveloped Ma Hongjun's body. This was naturally the action of Senior Sister Little Freckles. After receiving treatment, Ma Hongjun began to chew the sausage. Soon, Ma Hongjun, who was seriously injured by Tyrone, began to recover visibly.

"Fat man."

Ma Hongjun slowly sat up, gritting his teeth and looking unwilling. He didn't expect the gap in strength to be so huge. This was no longer a difference in soul power. Tailong didn't even use his soul skills, it was simply an all-round crushing. He was not even as good as the other party in martial arts. That physique was too terrifying!

"I'm fine." Ma Hongjun shook his head and slowly stood up. With Oscar's sausage treatment and Freckles' healing holy light, Ma Hongjun recovered quickly.

"Master, let me play. I want to avenge Fatty!" Dai Mubai said to the master.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "Your greatest strength lies in your ability to fuse your spirits. The combination of you and Zhu Zhuqing is greater than two. Even if you were to fight now, you might not be able to defeat Tailong of the Power Clan."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the golden Tailong on the fighting stage, frowning and muttering to himself, "Isn't the inherited martial spirit of the Power Clan the Powerful Gorilla? This doesn't look like the Powerful Gorilla at all. Could it be the legendary martial spirit evolution?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San who was chatting with Hu Liena not far away. He knew that the source of all this must be the young master of the Haotian Sect.

The master naturally did not let anyone else play, because he knew that it was impossible to defeat the Wuhun Academy in a one-on-one fight, and Dai Mubai had no chance of winning against Tailong.

As the master gave up sending players to play, the Wuhun Academy led by Tang San was the only team that won all the games and won the first place in the finals.

After giving a cold laugh, Tai Long released his spirit state and walked down the fighting arena. Tai Long even refused the treatment from Senior Sister Little Freckles, wanting to rely on his own recovery ability to recover, because Tang San had told Tai Long that the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd would always remain in his flesh and blood, and fighting was the most suitable way for Tai Long to practice.

As for the subsequent qualifying matches, Tang San and his team do not need to appear, and there is actually not much suspense about the rankings of the remaining teams.

The second place is naturally Shrek Academy. No matter whether it is the Xingluo Royal Academy team or the Tiandou Royal Academy team, they cannot defeat Xiao Wu, the king of one-on-one combat. Once they are caught by Xiao Wu at close range, they will be thrown out of the fighting arena. Under the one-on-one rules, Xiao Wu, who specializes in judo soul skills, is simply terrifyingly strong.

Third place went to the Xingluo Royal Academy team, while Tiandou narrowly lost in fourth. After all, no matter how much Dugu Yan improved, she couldn't defeat seven opponents in a row. After defeating Zhu Zhuyun, Dugu Yan's spirit power was almost exhausted. After barely defeating two more Soul Masters, she couldn't hold on. Meanwhile, Davis, with a spirit power of level 49, completely cleared Tiandou Royal Academy.

The tragedy was very tragic for Xiangjia Academy, which was defeated by Meng Yiran alone and defeated seven teams. Because of the poisoning, all the members were in poor condition. In the end, they were defeated by the last-place team and lost the qualification to participate in the finals. The remaining 7 college teams participated in the 7v elimination round of the finals.

Not long after the promotion match ended, in the Pope's Hall of the Spirit Hall, envoys from the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire arrived at the Pope's Hall.

“Greetings to His Holiness the Pope.”*2

Qian Xunji sat on the Pope's throne, nodded, and said, "Stand up. You two are here to discuss the venue and prize sponsorship for the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition Finals."

You can't just hold the finals in your own country. First, the decision-making power rests solely with the two empires and the Spirit Hall. Other principalities, kingdoms, and sects are ineligible. Then there's the question of sponsorship. The finals will definitely have prizes, and the two empires' royal families and the Spirit Hall will each contribute a small amount as a token of their appreciation. The real prize will be a three-way competition.

The finals will be held in the name of whoever gives more.

This finals is not just an ordinary competition, because all the college teams will graduate after the competition. The difference between colleges and sects is that college graduates are free and can go anywhere, but sect graduates must join the sect.

Even students of the Spirit Academy are not required to join the Spirit Hall after graduation.

Therefore, the students of the 32 college teams are undoubtedly popular. Whichever force can provide the largest sponsorship to host the finals will be able to attract a large number of soul master talents to join.

At present, the strongest is naturally the Spirit Hall, followed by the unified Xingluo Royal Family, and the weakest is naturally the Tiandou Royal Family which is divided into multiple kingdoms and principalities.

The leader of the Holy Dragon Sect won the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition and was awarded a dragon blood stone sponsored by the Spirit Hall. It was thanks to this dragon blood stone that he became a Titled Douluo. Now, most people who know the relationship between the Holy Dragon Sect and the Spirit Hall understand it.

The reason why the Xingluo Royal Family and the Tiandou Royal Family sent envoys to the Pope's Palace was to see what the Spirit Hall would sponsor in order to win it over. If it was too precious, they would give up the competition and give it to you.

Qian Xunji sat on the Pope's throne with a look of regret on his face. He shook his head and said, "My Spirit Hall can't provide too many resources this time. There were originally three spirit bones, but I have already rewarded them."

When the two envoys heard that Qian Xunji had originally planned to sponsor with soul bones, they took a breath. They had also heard that the Golden Generation had received soul bones as a reward from the Pope, but they didn't expect it to be true!

However, the two of them were secretly happy at this time. If this was the case, it meant that the Spirit Hall had given up hosting the finals, and the qualification would become a competition between the two imperial royal families!

Chapter 255 Activities

"Thank you, Your Holiness." The two envoys also knelt down hurriedly to express their gratitude. After all, in the past, the Spirit Hall was very domineering and incorporated all of the 32 teams that emerged from the finals of the competition, as well as most of the non-attributed spirit masters, into the Spirit Hall.

It is also because of this that the Spirit Hall is becoming stronger and stronger. There are many bishops, elders, and powerful clergy. Now the Pope has lost the sponsorship of this event because he gave the soul bones to the golden generation in advance. Isn't this helping them?

The envoys of the two countries did not say much, and hurried back to their country to tell the kings of their countries the news, and they must seize this hard-won opportunity.

Not long after the envoys from the two countries left, a man dressed in noble robes and concealing his face with special means walked in from outside the hall.

Qian Xunji didn't panic when he saw the mysterious man come in. He said, "I have given you the opportunity. According to the agreement, my Spirit Hall will not recruit any Spirit Master talents in this Spirit Master Competition."

The mysterious man quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Holiness."

"What about what I need?"

Hearing Qian Xunji's question, the mysterious man hurriedly took out a brocade box from his soul guide, took a few steps forward, placed the brocade box in front of the stairs, and then stepped back without walking to Qian Xunji's seat.

The mysterious man said respectfully, "Here are all the maps and notes that the late emperor wrote about his travels across the continent."

Qianxun nodded and waved, and the mysterious man understood and quietly left the Pope's Palace. As the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. How could the Spirit Hall not come up with something else to host the finals? This was all just a deal between the top leaders.

Qianxunji hooked his hand, and the brocade box on the ground flew towards Qianxunji, stopping half a meter away from Qianxunji.

Qian Xunji opened the brocade box and found only a hand-drawn map and a thick notebook inside. Judging from the dilapidated appearance of these things, they must have gone through a long time.

Seeing that there were only maps and notes in the brocade box and the most important thing was missing, Qian Xunji knew that the other party did not completely trust what he said and left the most precious thing behind.

However, when Qian Xunji saw the map and notes, the corners of his mouth began to rise. He knew that the other party had fallen into his trap.

"How stupid! Do you think my purpose is that thing? That thing is indeed indispensable, but..." Qian Xunji picked up the map and notes and started looking at them. In the eyes of others, these were just some ordinary things, just recording some things he saw and heard, but Qian Xunji, who knew some things, could understand what was recorded in them.

"As expected of an Extreme Douluo who has reached that threshold, he can escape even if he is punished by God. Unfortunately, he is forbidden to speak by God and can only record things in this way." Qian Xunji had a divine test himself, so he naturally knew about things like divine bans. For example, the content of the divine test was forbidden to speak, and no one except the relevant parties could know or help.

"Descendants are incompetent. Countless eras have passed and no one has been able to touch that threshold. They are unable to decipher the mystery and only know that the relic is precious. They have missed the great opportunity in vain." Qian Xunji looked at the hand-drawn map, his eyes locked on a place.

Naturally, no one knew about Qian Xunji's affairs, and Tang San was now strolling leisurely alone.

There is still some time before the finals, and this time is mainly for the team to have a good rest and recover from their injuries. Of course, the most important thing is to discuss with the two empires and the Spirit Hall where to hold the finals, as well as what the rewards for the finals are.

As long as you enter the top 32, you will receive gold coin rewards, and if you enter the top three, you will also receive rewards from the two empires and the Spirit Hall. However, except for the championship reward, the other rewards cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said that Tang San does not look down on them.

"It's true that people are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat." Tang San was recognized after walking on the street for a while.

After all, even if the information on Douluo Continent was so backward, news still spread quickly within a city, and Tang San's portrait had probably spread everywhere. Within ten minutes of walking, Tang San noticed that for some reason, there were suddenly many more beautifully dressed women around him.

Originally the ratio of men to women was 5:5, but now it suddenly became 9:1. Some fell down on purpose, some kept swaying in front of Tang San, some lifted their hair, and some even tried to scam him.

"Ah, no wonder those beautiful women in novels and biographies have to wear veils or hoods to cover their faces." Tang San also knew that these people wanted to pretend to meet and get to know each other, but he was not stupid, so he had to show some acting skills!

Tang San glanced at a clothing store not far away, and his Rakshasa pupils flashed, making the people around him hallucinate. Then he hid in the store, changed his clothes, and took out the Rakshasa mask to use as an ordinary mask.

Just when Tang San was changing clothes in the dressing room, suddenly, a familiar voice came from the store.

"Xiao Wu, you bought a lot of clothes."
