Douluo Continent: The Angel of the Dead, Shrek's Revenge

Faced with Qin Chuan's accusations, even the good-tempered Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but frown. Arrogant, this guy is too arrogant.

However, given that he was able to shatter the right arm of Soul Saint Liu Erlong with a single punch, and possessed a 100,000-year soul ring and an orange-gold soul ring, Qin Chuan certainly had the capital to be arrogant.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the Wuhun City defense forces, and soon, more than a dozen Wuhun Hall disciples carrying flying soul tools surrounded the group.

However, upon seeing Qin Chuan, they immediately greeted him respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Young Master."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly: "You can go back now, everything's fine here."

"Yes."

The disciples of the Spirit Hall left in an orderly fashion.

When the Spirit Hall disciples arrived, Flander and the Shrek Academy students were prepared to fight to the death, but the young master of the Spirit Hall told them to leave.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Qin Chuan said, "I'm tired too. Let's call it a day. Shrek Academy, I hope you can think this through."

After saying that, Qin Chuan and Tang Ya turned and left.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and the others gritted their teeth in disgust. What a disgrace!

Since the founding of Shrek Academy, no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous.

"Erlong!" Yu Xiaogang hugged the pale-faced Liu Erlong tightly, a tear squeezing out from the corner of his eye.

"Dean, is the Spirit Hall planning to attack us?" Ma Hongjun asked, his face pale.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said decisively, "As one of the three organizers, the Spirit Hall would never take action against you."

But then Ning Fengzhi changed the subject: "But just as the young master of the Spirit Hall said, if you rashly withdraw from the competition and leave Spirit City on your own... you will bear the consequences."

Having said all that, everyone understands the meaning behind Ning Fengzhi's words.

In the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme; those with the biggest fist make the rules, and those with the smallest fist abide by them.

Even if Flander is dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall, in this small territory, the Spirit Hall has plenty of ways to deal with Shrek Academy.

“I take back what I just said.” Flander turned to Yu Xiaogang and said, “Xiaogang, you quickly take Erlong to get his wounds bandaged. The little monsters go back to their hotel rooms. No one is allowed to leave without my permission.”

"……Yes."

Everyone practically gritted their teeth and agreed. Their fists weren't as big as the other person's, and they couldn't even fight back after being hit. This frustrating feeling would linger for a long time after the match ended.

In the Papal Palace, Qin Chuan sat on the sofa, with Tang Ya standing respectfully behind him.

Bibi Dong teased, "As soon as Shrek Academy comes to the Spirit Hall, you start causing trouble. Are you always so restless?"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I always know how to do things properly."

Qin Chuan's disturbance at the hotel where Shrek Academy was located was for one of two reasons.

The first thing they do is stir up trouble, and the second thing they do is stir up trouble again.

Just like Shrek Academy's motto, "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," this saying couldn't be more fitting for Qin Chuan just now.

Previously, Shrek Academy took the initiative to provoke Canghui Academy, but now Qin Chuan is taking the initiative to provoke Shrek Academy. This is an example of using their own methods against them.

Only when the boomerang hits you does it hurt. At this moment, the Shrek Academy students felt nothing but frustration.

They couldn't swallow this insult, but their opponent was of noble status—the son of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, a young Soul Emperor with a 100,000-year soul ring. Even Liu Erlong wasn't his match. Who else could they possibly have...?

Flander immediately thought of Tang Hao, believing that Tang Hao must be secretly following them, after all, this was the Spirit Hall.

From the moment Tang San's spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, was revealed in the second half of the competition, Flander was almost certain that Tang Hao had been secretly observing everything.

(Tang Hao: He is dead. If you need anything, please burn some paper money for him.)

Qin Chuan asked, "How is the control over the Barak Kingdom, other duchies, and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family progressing?"

Bibi Dong took a sip of the coffee she brought back from ten thousand years in the future and said leisurely, "With the control of your third martial soul, the Angel of the Dead, we have taken control of all the duchies under the Heaven Dou and Star Luo banners. Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou royal family is also critically ill. When Xue Qinghe returns this time, he can directly succeed to the throne."

As Tang Ya listened to the conversation between the mother and son, her heart trembled.

The Spirit Hall has taken control of all the principalities on the continent, and even the Heaven Dou royal family has a presence there! My God! What has happened to this world?

Bibi Dong continued, "The Haotian Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan each have three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells. Is that enough? Want one more?"

Qin Chuan shook his head: "There's no need to give them another one. Three is too many, two is more than enough."

Qin Chuan took the storage soul guide ring containing six level-nine fixed-position soul guide cannon shells from Bibi Dong; he desperately needed them.

In Qin Chuan's eyes, the Soul Masters of the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had become walking revenge points, and he desperately needed revenge points to revive his loved ones.

……

Early the next morning, the teams from the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire walked out of the hotel.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who belonged to Shrek Academy, walked out of the hotel together with Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, who belonged to Xingluo National Academy.

Even before they arrived at the stadium, the tension between the two sides was already palpable.

"Mu Bai, it's been quite a few years since we last met. I wonder if your strength has improved much compared to the past?" Davis said with a gentle smile.

Zhu Zhuyun followed closely behind, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with gentle eyes: "Zhuqing, when you suddenly ran away from home without saying goodbye, I was very worried about you."

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "You probably wish I would die out there, don't you?"

Chapter 146 A Sudden Foreboding Feeling Arises

Zhu Zhuyun's face showed pain: "My dear sister, how could you say such a thing to me?"

Zhu Zhuqing was disgusted by Zhu Zhuyun's hypocritical act. How could she forget the life-or-death struggle that took place when she left home?

Just then, the steward who had led the Heaven Dou Empire's team to the competition reappeared, facing the two imperial teams, and said with a smile, "Welcome everyone to the Spirit Hall for the elimination rounds. Please follow me."

After saying this, the deacon led the way, with the participating students from the two empires following closely behind.

The bustling scene of the Spirit Hall came into view once again. As the soul-guided train passed by, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were filled with strange expressions, and their faces were not very good.

"We've arrived."

The deacon led everyone to the entrance of the Spirit Hall, turned to face them, and smiled, saying, "Everyone, the elimination rounds of this tournament will be held in the huge square in front of the Papal Palace. You will need to walk up these steps to get there."

Then, the steward looked at Xiao Wu and smiled, "Little girl, these are the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape you are looking for, as you can see. Their bodies are made entirely of brass, and their heads have been specially treated to fit on them, so they can be preserved for thousands of years without any problem."

Everyone was quite shocked by the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Some students were even so shocked that they broke out in a cold sweat. They considered themselves geniuses, but they were no more than ants in front of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Xiao Wu looked up at Da Ming and Er Ming, with tears welling up in her eyes, and secretly vowed that one day she would destroy the Spirit Hall to avenge them.

Before long, the teams from the two great empires arrived at the huge square in front of the Papal Palace.

A Spirit Hall team had been waiting for a long time.

The Shrek Academy students' gazes sharpened as they spotted three unfamiliar figures standing at the forefront, followed by their former opponents from the previous battle: the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the woman beside the Spirit Hall's young master whom they had met yesterday, Tang Ya, as well as Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian.

The Heaven Dou Empire team members stood in the designated area. Davis and Zhu Zhuyun frowned simultaneously. For some reason, the blond boy and slender girl in the Spirit Hall team gave them a sense of déjà vu.

On the day Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu competed, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had the same premonition.

With all the participating teams assembled, Pope Bibidon was supposed to be present in person.

However, to everyone's surprise, the person who slowly walked in, surrounded by the two titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, was actually... Qian Hanchuan!

Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the other three's pupils contracted, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The scene of Teacher Liu Erlong's right arm being blown off yesterday is still vivid in my mind. This person is the enemy of the entire Shrek Academy.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.

Qin Chuan didn't even glance at Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others. Instead, he looked down at the teams from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The Spirit Hall team stood in the center, led by Hu Liena, followed by Xie Yue and Yan.

"Welcome everyone to the Spirit Hall for the competition. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Hanchuan, the young master of the Spirit Hall. Since His Holiness the Pope is currently in seclusion, I will be in charge of the opening ceremony of this elimination round."

Qian Hanchuan? The young master of the Spirit Hall?

Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, and other high-ranking members of the Star Luo Empire all frowned. Why had they never heard of such a person before?

Without further ado, the lottery ceremony begins.

The captains of the teams from each academy stepped forward first to draw their opponents for the day.

The lottery results were announced soon.

Shrek Academy VS Tianluo Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy VS Divine Wind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy

Spirit Hall Team VS Star Luo Royal Academy

……

After the draw ceremony, it's worth mentioning that the two academies, Kamikaze and Blazing Fire, exploited a loophole in the rules and merged their teams into one.

None of the teams that made it to the knockout stage were easy opponents. After the two academies merged, they could form a team with all members at the Soul Master level. Even if they couldn't win the championship in the end, they could still achieve a good ranking.

This has resulted in the original 33 participating teams becoming 32.

The competition was tightly scheduled, with 32 teams advancing to 16, 16 to 8, 8 to 4, 4 to 2, and finally the finals. Five days of continuous high-intensity team battles were undoubtedly a major test for the participants' spiritual strength, physical strength, and mental and physical well-being.

Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the first opening match below.

Shrek Academy faces off against Tianluo Advanced Soul Master Academy from the Star Luo Empire.

The referee walked to the center of the square, his voice deep and authoritative: "The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, the first elimination match, Shrek Academy versus Tianluo Advanced Soul Master Academy. Both sides have one minute to summon their respective Martial Souls. The battle begins!"

"Brothers, activate your Martial Souls!"

Dai Mubai let out a deep tiger roar, two yellow and two purple soul rings appeared under his feet, his golden hair turned black and white, his muscles bulged all over his body, and his height increased by three meters. The character "王" (king) appeared on his forehead.

Two yellow and two purple spirit rings appeared beneath Tang San's feet, and the Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet gradually spread out. He stood in the center of the team, the only control-type spirit master, in control of the overall situation.

One after another, spirit rings lit up.

Shrek Academy has three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables on their side, and the opposing Tianluo Advanced Soul Master Academy has the same lineup.

Qin Chuan put his hands behind his back and looked down at the level of the Soul Masters participating in the competition. He shook his head slightly: "In this era, Title Douluo are extremely rare. If these students were to participate in the competition ten thousand years from now, they would probably be eliminated in the first round."

Ten thousand years later, the competition will be a vibrant and diverse event, with Soul Masters as common as dogs, Soul Kings everywhere, and the probability of Soul Emperors and Soul Saints emerging is not nonexistent.

To be fair, the Spirit Hall sent Hu Liena and seven others to participate in the competition. It's estimated that they can make it to the first round, barely pass the round-robin stage, and whether they can win the championship depends on their luck.

The battle in the arena is about to begin.

Perhaps influenced by yesterday's events, the Shrek Seven Devils' eyes were filled with murderous intent today.

Ning Rongrong activated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her palm, providing full support, while Dai Mubai charged into the enemy ranks first, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass transformed into a tentacle monster.

The Shrek Seven Devils displayed their might, and after a fierce battle, the captain of Tianluo Advanced Soul Master Academy reluctantly uttered the words "I admit defeat."

Shrek Academy won the first match of the opening game.

Even after winning the match, Dai Mubai and Tang San couldn't be happy. They were always inexplicably uneasy, feeling that disaster was about to befall them in the near future.

This thought arose inexplicably after I arrived at the Spirit Hall and came into contact with Qian Hanchuan.

Chapter 147 Two Tigers Cannot Share One Mountain

From the moment the students of Shrek Academy stepped into the Spirit Hall, their fates were like being caught in the great web woven by the Death Spider King, and they could no longer decide their own destiny.

Despite winning the match, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others did not show much joy on their faces, but instead left the competition venue immediately.

After yesterday's events, Flander formulated a rule.

Regardless of winning or losing the match, do not linger under the watchful eyes of the Spirit Hall.

Especially after learning that Qin Chuan would be in charge of the knockout stage, Flanders' rules became particularly important.

Qin Chuan watched Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the other seven leave, their hurried figures resembling mice before a cat.

Qin Chuan said, "You're quite alert, but you still can't escape my grasp."

The second match then ended in victory for the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The referee then announced, "The third round of the first match of the knockout stage, the Spirit Hall team versus the Star Luo Royal Academy. Please welcome the participating students from both sides to the arena."

On the Star Luo Royal Academy side, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were the captain and vice-captain of the team, respectively, with their five students following closely behind as they stepped onto the arena.

The Spirit Hall team consists of Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian.

Two teams, with fourteen members each, stepped onto the stage simultaneously.

"The Spirit Hall team is facing off against the Star Luo Royal Academy. Both sides have one minute to summon their respective spirits. The spirit battle begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two deep tiger roars rang out almost simultaneously.
