"Besides, it's not like we won't face Shen An in the finals. Defeating him under the spotlight is the best option."
Tang San realized that his emotions had indeed been somewhat abnormal just now. Being defeated by Shen An time and time again had indeed caused him to lose his composure.
"Besides, my theoretical research over the years hasn't been for nothing. You've been getting along better with those six people lately."
"I have a true fusion technique. Combining the power of all seven of you, along with your Blue Silver Domain, will surely allow you to defeat him in one fell swoop at the tournament."
Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently.
Tang San's gaze towards Yu Xiaogang instantly changed; this good-for-nothing actually had this ability.
"Teacher is truly brilliant. As your disciple, I still have much to learn from you." Tang San immediately flattered Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San naturally had an excellent attitude towards useful people.
The match has come to a complete end. As a clash between two undefeated teams, it ended with Shrek conceding defeat.
The Tian Dou vice-team ranked first with an undefeated record and was even called the strongest academy team in the Tian Dou Empire.
Shen An's name spread at an alarming rate.
After the qualifying rounds, each team will have three days to rest and adjust.
Three days later, a total of fifteen teams, along with their teachers and five hundred Royal Knights soldiers, a group of over a thousand people, set off for the venue of the finals, Wuhun City!
As an emperor, Emperor Xue Ye naturally could not easily leave Tian Dou City. Therefore, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was appointed as the envoy of the Tian Dou Empire to participate in the judging of this competition.
During these three days, Shen An spent his free time refining jade marrow. Jade bone is an indestructible substance, and so far it has only been integrated into Shen An's body.
Furthermore, there are numerous indestructible properties waiting to be developed.
As for its strength, Shen An, referring to Zhu Zhuqing's condition, found that a piece of jade bone that had just been integrated into the body was far superior to the various enhancements brought by a 100,000-year soul ring.
Moreover, this improvement is continuous; one can refine the indestructible properties within the jade bones to transform them into jade marrow, thereby constantly increasing one's strength.
This is a way to break free from the limitations of spirit rings and allow Shen An to improve his strength at any time.
It can only be said that anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
For the past three days, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing have been quite excited, eager to step into Wuhun City immediately.
What young person doesn't yearn for the moment when they are the center of attention?
The two women, who believed they already possessed considerable strength, were even more eager to shine and make their names known throughout the mainland.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and a group of over a thousand people set off in a grand procession.
To allow the competitors to rest better, the Heavenly Dou Empire specially made fifteen luxurious giant carriages.
The carriage even utilized some basic soul-guided technology, resulting in excellent shock absorption.
Feeling the comfort of the carriage, Shen An asked curiously, "Brother Xue, this soul tool technology is quite impressive. To what extent has the Heavenly Dou Empire mastered it?"
Given the relationship between Xue Qinghe and Shen An, it was natural for them to sit in the same carriage.
"Only some of the most basic soul tool technologies have been passed down; the truly advanced ones can only be found by excavating finished products from ruins."
Xue Qinghe shook her head and said, "Soul tool technology? When did the Heaven Dou Empire even master much of it? Even her Spirit Hall didn't have much of it."
This is a very strange thing. Considering the function of soul tools, it was an extremely prosperous era, yet so little information has been left behind, which is very abnormal.
The journey from Tiandou City to Wuhun City takes about twenty days.
The group chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves as they watched Tom and Jerry playfully bickering.
As Wuhun City drew ever closer, Xue Qinghe's eyes gleamed, and his resolve grew ever stronger.
What divine revelation from angels and gods? She doesn't want to do it anymore!
However, she still needed to persuade her grandfather and find the most suitable opportunity to meet Shen An in her true form; these were all things she needed to consider.
As for Bibi Dong's reaction, she didn't care whether all her efforts over the years would be in vain.
"Xiao Gang, you're a genius!" Flander, who had been pleading with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family for days to rescue Liu Erlong, also returned.
What followed was Liu Erlong, who looked haggard and had a terrible complexion.
Yu Yuanzhen ultimately couldn't bear to see his genius wasted in prison.
Liu Erlong is still young, and she definitely has the potential to become a Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo.
So the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family paid a huge price to redeem Liu Erlong.
Of course, Yu Yuanzhen will never know that Gu Rong has cut off Liu Erlong's path to becoming a Soul Master.
Flander was amazed when he saw Yu Xiaogang teaching everyone the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. He thought to himself that his good brother was quite intelligent.
Yu Xiaogang smiled smugly, but behind that smile was a hint of guilt.
He couldn't very well say that the Shrek team didn't have such good teamwork.
Using this fusion technique with Tang San at the center will cause a little bit of harm to the other children.
The journey was peaceful, and ten days passed quickly, with half the journey to Wuhun City completed.
"I really want to get to Wuhun City soon. I want them to know that support-type Soul Masters can fight just as well," Ning Rongrong said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Shen An glanced at Ning Rongrong and thought that Ning Rongrong was wasting her talents as a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master. She should have awakened Li Jing's Exquisite Pagoda.
This girl is even more warlike than a combat-type Soul Master.
Just as Shen An was about to make a sarcastic remark, Tom suddenly bristled and turned into an inflated cat ball.
A chilling aura emanated from not far away, and Shen An immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Wait, something's happened, I'll go out and check it out."
Shen An stepped out of the carriage and saw that the place was nestled between two hills with steep terrain, making it an excellent ambush site.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, poked her head out and laughed loudly: "Shen An, you're too timid. We're being escorted by the Heavenly Dou Knights. No one dares to mess with us."
Just as Ning Rongrong was saying this, the captain of the Royal Knights shouted, "Everyone on alert! Something's up!"
Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded. No, in broad daylight, someone actually dared to attack the Heavenly Fighting Knights?
However, she wasn't too worried. Besides the Royal Knights, there were many other participating academies from the Soul Master Academy, and their teachers were also there.
Among them are Soul Emperors, Soul Saints, and even Soul Douluos.
Even if a large army of tens of thousands comes, we can fight our way through.
Shen An silently extended his perception. Tom had just lost his temper, so the situation was definitely not trivial.
Sure enough, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and countless rocks rolled down from the hills on both sides like raindrops. These rocks not only appeared suddenly, but were also unusually neat.
The mountain here is quite high, and the force of falling rocks combined with gravity is difficult for anyone other than a Soul Master to withstand.
Some of the five hundred Royal Knights were just ordinary people. They gritted their teeth, raised their lances, and struck the falling rocks. Before long, they found that their hands were cracked and their arms were trembling.
Shen An decisively summoned his sword. Now that he was a Soul King, he could summon four Nine-Leaf Void Swords.
He had also cultivated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ability to control distractions to the level of the Five Apertures Dispersion Heart, with five dazzling streams of light roaming freely in the void.
Countless falling rocks were shattered in mid-air, turning into insignificant fragments that fell to the ground, greatly relieving the pressure on the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights.
The elites from the various advanced soul master academies narrowed their eyes; this was a method Shen An had never used before.
A sense of defeat welled up in their hearts. Just how much strength did Shen An still have hidden?
Feng Xiaotian looked saddened as he gazed at the five imposing, extremely sharp, and fast flying swords. He felt that he would never be able to defeat Shen An in this lifetime.
Just as the Soul Masters from all the academies were about to make their move, the falling rocks suddenly stopped, and in their place came a loud whistle.
Suddenly, thousands of men in black appeared from the hills on both sides and rushed towards them at an astonishing speed.
No one noticed that Xue Qinghe's face inside the carriage had turned completely gloomy.
"Bibi Dong, what a Bibi Dong! You actually dare to disrespect the world and attack a Soul Master contestant, you madwoman!" she thought angrily.
With her intelligence, she quickly figured out who else could be so audacious as to attack the Heaven Dou Royal Army besides the Spirit Hall.
The Soul Masters from the fifteen academies also released their dazzling Martial Souls and Soul Rings, charging towards the enemy in small groups around their own academies.
There were about two thousand men in black, but the teachers and students from the fifteen academies combined numbered only about two hundred.
Moreover, these men in black have an amazing ability to coordinate, with four or five attacking one person. They are very familiar with the methods of Soul Masters, and their advances and retreats are well-controlled. Ordinary first and second Soul Skills can hardly do anything to them.
Among the men in black, there were quite a few Soul Masters, making up an astonishing one-tenth of the total, which was on par with the number of Soul Masters in the Soul Master Academy.
Such a terrifying number of Soul Masters is simply astonishing.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Shen An has encountered many Soul Masters along the way, including many Title Douluo; it's simply because Shen An has always played in high-level matches.
The Spirit Hall once conducted a survey and found that the number of Spirit Masters in the world was definitely no more than 100,000. When this number was distributed across the entire continent, the number of Spirit Masters was even more pitiful.
The Spirit Hall? Or perhaps the Star Luo Empire?
Everyone couldn't help but think of these two major forces. Apart from them, only the three upper sects had this strength, but the martial spirit characteristics of the three upper sects were too obvious, so they were obviously excluded.
Two thousand people besieged fifteen academies, and each academy had to face more than a hundred enemies. Except for Shen An and Shrek Academy, almost all the academies were struggling to cope.
Shen An's sword energy soared into the sky, and the five flying swords resembled five azure dragons, stirring up waves of immense size.
The sword light was so cold and sharp that it made the world lose its color.
With bared teeth and claws, it takes lives amidst roars.
When it comes to killing, what can compare to the unparalleled sharpness and speed of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass?
In an instant, people were cut down as easily as grass, and more than a hundred men in black around Shen An fell to the ground.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were about to intervene, realized that there was nothing for them to do.
If there's any Soul Master academy present that can rival Shen An's killing speed, it's Shrek Academy.
With the Tang Clan's hidden weapons equipped by Tang San, killing some low-level black-clad bandits is indeed easy.
Even so, the entire academy combined could only rival Shen An.
Tang San even revealed his Eight Spider Lances, greatly increasing his agility. With each movement of his spider legs, he accurately pierced into the body of each man in black.
Strange blood-red patterns lit up on the spider's legs, and clusters of life energy were injected into Tang San's body.
Tang San suppressed the urge to suck it dry, and instead exercised great restraint in controlling the amount of liquid.
At this moment, Tang San, in excellent condition and with his evil aura surging, looked at Shen An with a strange gaze, recalling the time when he and Tang Hao left Tian Dou earlier.
They have killed and robbed countless treasures, and have also mastered many powerful Tang Clan hidden weapons.
'Why not take this opportunity to kill him? With the Yama's Decree, killing a Soul Master is no problem for me,' Tang San thought excitedly.
In the midst of a chaotic battle, who could possibly discover that he was the one who did it? Besides, hidden weapons are meant to be used unexpectedly.
Shen An, with his sword hanging from his body, glanced at Tang San out of the corner of his eye, his eyes blazing with killing intent. In the midst of a chaotic battle, it's normal for someone to die, but he wondered if Tang Hao would go mad.
However, if I win the championship and advance to the Soul Emperor level, with the unparalleled speed of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, even a Title Douluo would find it difficult to match, not to mention that I still have quite a few speed-up potions.
The efficient killing speed on both sides attracted the attention of the stronger members of the black-clad men, who all turned their gazes toward them, dispelling the two men's plans.
At this moment, Shen An faced new opponents: two Soul Saints and one Soul Douluo.
A terrifying pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, and the three powerful figures released their Martial Soul True Forms without the slightest hesitation.
A tiger with wings on its back, a giant tortoise covered in iron armor, and a giant eagle of the Contra level.
Tang San's side was also in a difficult situation, as they were all Soul Saint level experts.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walked out alongside Shen An, their faces pale. The pressure from the three powerful figures was quite heavy even for them.
Tom and Jerry, like a cat with a gun and a mouse with a cannon, walked shakily to Shen An's side.
They were both a little intimidated by such a huge animal, especially the tiger.
Tom couldn't help but swallow hard. In the history of the cats, there seemed to be no instance of a cat defeating a tiger.
Xue Qinghe didn't leave, but stayed in the car watching Na'er. Na'er's slightly slender hands clenched tightly, her nails even digging into her flesh, leaving bright red blood.
And so it happened again; powerful figures surrounded and killed her, but she could only watch from the sidelines.
She recognized the other person as a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall, but the other person did not recognize her.
After all, her identity was a top secret. Salas only knew about it because he was the Platinum Bishop of Heavenly Dou City and could cooperate with her.
"I'm fed up with this identity!" Xue Qinghe roared inwardly, her gaze shifting to the outside of the carriage as she made up her mind.
If Shen Anzhen's life is in danger, she will not hesitate to reveal her identity and take drastic action.
"Hehe, how interesting. Two Soul Masters, one Soul King, and a cat and a mouse. Hmm, there seems to be another person inside the carriage."
