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

But then I thought, if the Spirit Hall can cultivate people like Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, then what if these people joined the Spirit Hall...?

Immediately, many people present began to have their own ideas.

The giant, crimson-gold toad let out a long croak, and a crimson-gold river flowed down from its mouth.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lengleng, Aosluo, and Yu Feng, the five remaining members, all fell off the stage, unable to fight any longer.

The referee announced loudly, "The Spirit Hall team wins the first round of the elimination tournament!"

The golden toad disappeared, and the figures of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen appeared afterward.

Xiao Hongchen sighed softly, "These people are too weak, they have no chance of fighting at all. We are just too powerful."

Xiao Hongchen almost let something slip, but managed to cover it up in time.

Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at her brother, raised her head, maintained a victor's posture, and leisurely left the competition venue.

As the Spirit Hall team entered the Spirit Hall, many people craned their necks to try and see what was going on, but no matter which angle they looked from, all they could see was darkness.

The group walked into the darkness and only stopped when their figures disappeared from sight.

At the same time, the referee's voice rang out: "The second round of the second elimination match between Shrek Academy and Tianxing Advanced Soul Master Academy, please welcome the participating students from both sides to the arena."

Dai Mubai took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his restless heart, and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, let's go!"

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun all nodded, and the group stepped onto the competition stage.

Qin Chuan smiled faintly. In the next match, Shrek Academy's Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing would jointly use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, in conjunction with Tang San's Blue Silver Grass control and Xiao Wu's unpredictable movements, with Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda providing support.

They won the game easily.

Soon, the round of 16 came to an end, and the quarterfinals will be held tomorrow.

The tightly packed competition schedule left very little time for the participants to rest.

Inside the hotel.

Flander said in a deep voice, "Our opponents tomorrow are the Spirit Hall team."

After these words were spoken, no one spoke. Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became very heavy.

After losing her right arm, Liu Erlong's temper became even more volatile than before.

She slammed her hand on the table in anger, causing Dai Mubai and Tang San to tremble: "A mere Spirit Hall has intimidated you? Are you still students of Shrek Academy?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Ma Hongjun mustered his courage and whispered, "We... are no match for the Spirit Hall team."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Erlong slapped Ma Hongjun away with his backhand.

Ma Hongjun's right cheek swelled up rapidly, and five clear handprints were visible.

"Erlong, don't go too far!" Flander immediately stepped in front of Liu Erlong, his brows furrowed.

Liu Erlong snorted coldly and said in an icy voice, "If this were on the battlefield, little fatso, you would be disrupting the morale of the army, and it wouldn't be too much to kill you."

Ma Hongjun was greatly dissatisfied. He was just being outspoken and getting straight to the point. Was he now forbidden from even speaking the truth?

The others should stay as far away as possible from the enraged Liu Erlong. Over the past few days, her temper has visibly escalated, and no one wants to be caught in the crossfire.

After a moment of contemplation, Flander said in a deep voice, "I have decided to forfeit tomorrow's match."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong immediately objected: "I disagree!"

"I am the dean!"

"If I hadn't given you my position as dean, you'd be begging with them right now!"

"Erlong, don't go too far!"

"Shrek Academy has not lost! Nor could it possibly lose to the Spirit Hall!"

Just as the two were at an impasse, Yu Xiaogang suddenly said, "How about this, we'll participate in the competition as usual tomorrow, but we'll concede defeat as soon as the competition starts. That way, no one will say anything."

"Xiaogang! How could you do this! You know we haven't lost yet!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong, whose eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He then gently patted the other's shoulder and said, "The children still have a bright future ahead of them. I don't want them to go to their deaths tomorrow."

Early the next morning, in the huge square in front of the Papal Palace.

The referee announced, "The first match of the third round of the knockout stage is between the Spirit Hall team and Shrek Academy. Please welcome the participating students from both sides to the arena."

The Shrek Seven Devils, led by Dai Mubai and Tang San, stepped onto the arena and faced off against Xie Yue and Hu Liena's seven-person team from the previous day.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang said, "Respected Young Master of the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy concedes defeat in today's contest."

Chapter 150 Revealing Xiao Wu's Identity

Shrek Academy, intimidated before the battle even began, conceded defeat.

No wonder, the Spirit Hall team has such a luxurious lineup that it can be called the best in the history of the competition.

Unprecedented and unparalleled.

Qin Chuan had long been aware of Shrek Academy's surrender.

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded: "You've fought your way from the qualifiers to the knockout stage, which must have been tough. Knowing you're outmatched but still choosing to grit your teeth and go for it is a decision only a fool would make."

Qin Chuan's words were a veiled insult to Liu Erlong, who frowned slightly and almost lost her composure.

Although Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others were still resentful about admitting defeat, they were facing three Soul Emperors at once, two of whom could use Martial Soul Fusion Techniques, making their combat power close to that of Soul Saints. Even if Tang San tried his best, his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, would be useless.

Flander breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "In that case, Shrek Academy will take its leave now."

Just as everyone turned to leave, Qin Chuan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Dean Flander, wait a moment."

Flander's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, turned to face Qin Chuan, and forced a smile, saying, "I wonder if there's anything else, esteemed young master?"

Qin Chuan smiled calmly and said, "Dean Flander, there's no need to be nervous. With all the participating teams, as well as Sect Master Ning and Bone Douluo, here today, I would like to ask Dean Flander a question."

Many of the participating students looked at each other in bewilderment. Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were also completely confused, not understanding what Qin Chuan was up to.

Flanders braced himself and said, "Please go ahead."

"Dean Flander, as a Soul Saint, is about to become a Soul Douluo. If a suitable Soul Beast were placed in front of you, and that Soul Beast happened to be suitable for you, what would your subconscious behavior be?"

Flander was full of doubts, but still answered, "Of course, we kill it and absorb its spirit ring. Is there any need to ask? That's the only value of a spirit beast."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction: "Since Dean Flander has said so, I can rest assured."

Just as everyone was wondering, a sudden exclamation rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Ghost Douluo had kidnapped Xiao Wu without anyone noticing. The scene then shifted, and Xiao Wu was already being held by Qin Chuan.

"Little dance!"

"Little dance!"

"Martial Soul Palace!"

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed abruptly, and he questioned in a deep voice, "Young Master Qin Chuan, I expect an explanation."

The other students were also quite frightened by this sudden move. If Qin Chuan's explanation was unreasonable or unconvincing, who would dare to continue competing in the Spirit Hall competition?

Shrek Academy was in an uproar. Liu Erlong was the first to speak, angrily shouting, "Qin Chuan! What kind of skill is it to kidnap my daughter! Are you trying to use this to blackmail Shrek Academy? Release my daughter immediately!"

Tang San clenched his fists, staring intently at Qin Chuan without uttering a word. A flash of dark light appeared in his left hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer was already firmly in his grasp.

Even if it means death, I will save Xiao Wu today.

"If one day, someone tries to kill me..."

"Then let them step over my dead body first."

Tang San always remembered his promise, and he murmured, "Today is the day to fulfill it."

Faced with accusations from all sides, Qin Chuan remained calm and unhurried. He reached out and ripped off the pendant hanging around Xiao Wu's neck.

In an instant, the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast was revealed.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's eyes lit up, while Bone Douluo was utterly shocked.

Gu Rong whispered in Ning Fengzhi's ear, and the latter immediately opened his eyes wide, equally shocked by Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Qin Chuan looked at Ning Fengzhi, whose expression had changed slightly, and said with a smile, "Sect Master Ning, please explain this to us."

All eyes turned to Ning Fengzhi. As the representative of the Heaven Dou Empire and the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, the whispered conversation between the two of them naturally did not escape the notice of those who were interested.

Sect Leader Ning gritted his teeth, caught in a dilemma.

Flander immediately said, "Sect Leader Ning, please say a word for Shrek Academy."

Liu Erlong followed closely behind, echoing, "Yes, Sect Leader Ning, the Spirit Hall is going too far! They kidnapped my daughter. If you don't release her today, I, Liu Erlong, will turn the Spirit Hall upside down, even if it means my death."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze turned somewhat mocking. Daughter?

Just then, Ning Rongrong spoke up, "Dad! Are you going to just stand by and watch our friends, whom we spend every day with, fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall for no reason?"

Ning Fengzhi felt the pressure and cursed the Spirit Hall in his heart. Qin Chuan was even more cunning, making him the target of everyone's criticism with just a few words.

Facing the questioning gazes from other academies and the demands from Shrek Academy, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Xiao Wu, whom you spend every day with... is a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has taken human form."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Many teachers leading the participating academies had their eyes light up with greed, but then they regretted it. The Spirit Hall acted too quickly. If they had known about the mobile treasure trove, they would have struck first, even if it displeased Shrek Academy.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts such as the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are exceptionally powerful; ordinary Title Douluos, and even Super Douluos, are no match for them.

However, the 100,000-year-old soul beasts that have transformed into human form are different. Just like Xiao Wu in front of us, she is in her infancy and her strength is only at the Soul Master level. Killing her will still produce a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone.

That is a treasure that everyone in the Soul Master world dreams of.

Flander, Liu Erlong, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, almost everyone from Shrek Academy who came to participate in the competition was deeply shocked by Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Unbelievable! A partner who had spent so many years with him was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast that had taken human form.

Qin Chuan lifted Xiao Wu's pointed chin, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You know the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?"

Xiao Wu almost bit Qin Chuan, who quickly pulled his hand away and laughed, "Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. That's really true."

Tears quickly welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes as she angrily declared, "Spirit Hall! You killed Da Ming and Er Ming, and one day I will exact my revenge!"

Qin Chuan smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Did you all hear that? This rabbit wants revenge on me, and it knows the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, calling them Da Ming and Er Ming."

"It's easy to imagine that this beast has ulterior motives; he came to our Spirit Hall to seek revenge against us humans."

"Gentlemen, do you think it was the right thing to do to arrest her today, or the wrong thing to do?"

Chapter 151 Xiao Wu is a Soul Beast Spy

"The young master of the Spirit Hall is insightful and has eliminated a great threat to humanity."

“Soul beasts are incredibly cunning. This beast has used some method to deceive us. If he can infiltrate the Spirit Hall today, he can infiltrate major cities of the Douluo Continent in the future. If a beast tide breaks out in the Star Dou Great Forest one day, this beast will become an inside agent working with us from the inside.”

"That's right! That's right! This beast has ulterior motives. Soul beasts must reach maturity to transform into human form. For a creature as agile as this to venture into the Douluo Continent so easily must be hiding something."

"..."

The crowd exchanged glances and whispered amongst themselves, while Xiao Wu's face grew increasingly pale. She shook her head frantically, repeatedly saying, "That's not true! I didn't... I just... I just..."

Qin Chuan sneered and said, "Just what? You were just about to retaliate against us, but now you're denying what you said? You soul beast spy."

"No! That's not how it is!" Xiao Wu's bright eyes were now filled with tears, which rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Just then, Tang San roared, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, and walked to the center of the huge plaza. He looked up at Qin Chuan and said in a deep voice, "Release Xiao Wu!"

"And then?" Qin Chuan looked at Tang San with great interest.

"I will take him away."

"And then what?"

"That's it, are you going to let go or not?!"

"I'm going to return this rabbit to you. Even if I don't intervene, do you think other teams won't? Are you sure the Heaven Dou Empire won't intervene after you return?"

Liu Erlong took a deep breath and said angrily, "Shrek Academy will guarantee Xiao Wu's safety. Don't waste your breath. Just one question: will you release her or not?"

"Don't let it go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Erlong could no longer suppress the raging anger in her heart. Two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings appeared under her feet. Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly and rushed towards Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan's expression changed slightly: "The Spirit Hall will not tolerate your insolence!"

Qin Chuan's right hand quickly transformed into a dragon, his golden dragon claw clenching into a fist. Then, a mechanism sounded, and the golden dragon claw was encased in a silver metal gauntlet. His soul power activated the core magic array within, amplifying its power tenfold.
