Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Jianmu Tree, Am I a Bumper Monster?

Page 125

Countless silver-white flames began to explode. Before Tang San could even react, countless fist energies landed on his body. Even the Blue Silver Soul-Devouring Spear he had just condensed was abruptly interrupted during the parry.

Shrek Academy's preparation area.

Yu Xiaogang roared angrily when Yu Tianheng was seriously injured, shouting at the referee: "This is a foul! You should stop the Blazing Fire team's actions immediately and disqualify them from the competition."

However, as soon as he said that, the referee looked at him coldly and casually said, "Excuse me, teacher, is your student dead? Is he disabled? If not, then it's not a violation!"

"You!" Yu Xiaogang was speechless after being rebuked, and glared angrily at the referee.

Seeing this, Liu Erlong immediately stood in front of him, watching the referee.

However, the referee looked at them with a disdainful smile, "Are you going to lay a hand on me? Assaulting the referee will result in immediate disqualification!"

"Xiao Gang, let's admit defeat!" Flander said anxiously.

Yu Xiaogang turned his head and saw that in just the time it takes to debate, only Tang San and Ma Hongjun were left on the stage.

Xiao Wu, Oscar, and the other two have been swept off the stage and taken away for treatment by the support Soul Masters waiting below.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang ran his fingers through his hair, utterly incredulous. "What kind of martial spirit or secret technique could achieve such a feat?"

Seeing this, Flander became anxious. He glanced at Liu Erlong and, after receiving confirmation, gritted his teeth and said to the referee, "Shrek Academy concedes!"

Upon hearing the words of surrender, the referee could not ignore them and immediately began to announce the decision.

Shrek Academy concedes defeat! Blazing Fire Academy wins!

As soon as the words were spoken, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang immediately stopped what they were doing.

All that remained were Ma Hongjun, his wings broken and who had fallen to the ground, and Tang San, whose limbs had been broken by Huo Wu's countless heavy punches.

Chapter 173 Shrek's Unbelievable Experience

Fighting Soul in the audience.

The crabapple petals falling from the sky were like a beautiful rain of flowers, fluttering down from mid-air.

Even the audience members on stage, who had witnessed this scene many times before, couldn't help but be captivated by its breathtaking beauty once again.

Although the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul is renowned throughout the continent for its healing power, at this moment, the breathtakingly beautiful rain of flowers dancing in the sky is already a delightful experience in itself.

Petals containing powerful life energy gently covered the seriously injured students of Shrek Academy in the treatment area.

Under the healing soul skill of the Title Douluo-level Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the others, who had just suffered severe injuries and fallen into a coma, woke up from their unconsciousness almost immediately.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang, who had been extremely worried, immediately stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, how are you feeling?"

Tang San lay on the stretcher, subconsciously raising his hands, which had almost fully recovered thanks to the powerful healing soul skill, and tentatively clenched his fists.

Although the skin appeared smooth and unmarked on the outside, it seemed to be torn apart inside, with faint stinging pain.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Tang San replied with a gloomy face, "Teacher, the external injuries are all healed. The healing effect of the Nine Heart Begonia is indeed astonishingly powerful."

Afterwards, Tang San seemed to fall into deep confusion, and almost reflexively added, "I just really didn't expect that Huo Wu could actually complete the second awakening of her original martial soul at the silver level!"

A Silver-level awakening! In ten thousand years, that would definitely make him a candidate for the sect leader of the Body Sect. If it were an era where geniuses were scarce, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be directly recognized as the next sect leader.

What Tang San couldn't understand was how the Naruto could be considered a physical martial soul.

Even after going through all the knowledge about martial spirits he had learned ten thousand years later, he still couldn't figure this out.

"A physical spirit?" Yu Xiaogang looked completely bewildered, his face, which had begun to resemble that of a woman, clearly showing his ignorance. "Isn't that a useless spirit?"

Yu Xiaogang subconsciously brought up this deeply ingrained concept in the current world of Soul Masters.

Tang San's unconscious remark, as if to himself, instantly ignited Yu Xiaogang's strong thirst for knowledge.

Even Liu Erlong, who was waiting on the side, and Flander, Qin Ming, and other teachers who were taking care of Ma Hongjun, were not spared.

All eyes were drawn to Tang San, focusing on him with intense curiosity and a desire to explore.

They also had their own guesses about Tang San's identity. With so many self-created soul skills and secret techniques, he must have a powerful sect behind him, and it would be natural for them to know some of the secrets of martial souls that they didn't know.

Even Flander asked Yu Xiaogang privately, but only received some vague information.

Faced with the probing gazes of the crowd, Tang San fell into a brief silence.

But the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back. Besides, the information itself wasn't particularly confidential, and even if it got out, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

At most, it might have allowed the Body Sect to appear on the Douluo Continent a few thousand years earlier.

Then Tang San explained the definition of his original spirit and its special features, which surprised everyone present!

Upon hearing this explanation, Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Shouldn't the original martial soul be a useless martial soul? How could it still have this ability? Even I before... I..."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't continue speaking. Despite considering himself a master of martial spirits, he had never known that his physical martial spirit possessed such potential.

'Damn the Spirit Hall! Even the Clear Sky Sect knows this, why didn't you record it?!'

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't recorded in the Spirit Hall's records, how could he have presented such a scene in front of everyone, only to be criticized by his own student?

Seeing this, Liu Erlong immediately stepped forward with heartache, thinking that Yu Xiaogang was grieving for the old Luo Sanpao.

"Xiao Gang, don't be like this!" Liu Erlong hugged Yu Xiaogang tightly with heartache and comforted him anxiously, "Your martial soul has completely changed! It's no longer the Luo Sanpao it used to be! Look at yourself, you're now a dignified Soul Venerable level expert!"

However, at this moment, Flander stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, our game is over for today. Let's take the kids home to rest!"

-

The team rest area on the other side.

Mu Ci wore a gentle smile as she watched Huo Wu, who was running towards her with excitement and joy.

He immediately stood up and naturally opened his arms to welcome her.

The next second, a warm and soft body was instantly drawn into his arms.

"Aci, how did I do?" Huo Wu pouted her red lips, her starry eyes sparkling, eager to get Mu Ci's evaluation.

"Of course, my Huowu performed exceptionally well!" Mu Ci put Huowu down and led her to sit down in front of everyone.

Shuiyue immediately clenched her little fist and gave Huowu a thumbs up, "Sister Huowu was amazing today! She was so heroic and cool!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Yue'er. But if we meet again in the future, you and Bing'er shouldn't hold back just because we're sisters!" Huo Wu said with a smile, thanking her and then speaking seriously.

Huo Wu's earnest words brought a knowing smile to Shui Bing'er's pretty face. "Of course. Giving our all is the best way to respect each other, and it's also the only way to live up to the hard work and effort that Brother Mu Ci has put into us over the years."

Seeing that all the women present were looking at her, Mu Ci said with some heartache, "Then you all need to be gentle, it will hurt me if any of you get hurt!"

The cheerful laughter echoed in the rest area for a while.

Huo Wu suppressed her smile and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Speaking of which, after you guys, who will encounter the Shrek Academy team again?"

Mu Ci thought for a moment and replied, "Yan Yan's Royal Battle can directly enter the finals, so it's most likely Bing'er's Tianshui team!"

If the draw remains unchanged, following the original story, the Tianshui team should face the Shrek team in the final round of the qualifiers!

As for Mu Ci's plant team, they should meet Shrek in the individual qualifying rounds.

"Is that so? Then Bing'er and Yue'er, you two should teach Shrek a lesson and let them be arrogant!" Huo Wu waved her little fist, still not satisfied.

"We'll see!" Shui Bing'er didn't seem to care much about the Shrek Team.

However, since they were going to meet, she had to teach them a lesson. She had heard about what Tang San had done to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in Soto City.

Chapter 174 Tianshui vs. Shrek

In the following ten days or so of the preliminary rounds, apart from the internal competition within the Mu Ci family, there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

Even Feng Xiaotian consciously kept his trump cards to himself.

Even an important plot point that should have happened.

After Canghui Academy's defeat, its team leader, Shi Nian, harbored malicious intentions and planned to assassinate Tang San outside the arena to vent his anger. However, due to the huge butterfly effect brought about by Mu Ci, he completely disappeared without a trace.

The reason for this is that this competition has produced so many talented individuals whose brilliance is too dazzling.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Mu Ci, who, although never officially appeared in the preliminaries, had already become famous years ago and was recognized by the world as having unparalleled beauty.

The existence of these young powerhouses has completely changed the original landscape.

Even though Tang San, who possessed the strength of a Soul King, ultimately defeated Canghui Academy, Shi Nian did not harbor many special thoughts amidst the brilliance of so many top geniuses.

He felt only a numb calm: so what if he lost? It wasn't the first time he had lost in a major competition anyway; it was just another defeat.

As for the so-called championship title? Shi Nian felt nothing but helpless self-mockery. Let whoever has the ability take it.

What Shi Nian found particularly regrettable was that their painstaking cultivation of the Seven Asura Illusions was ultimately in vain.

Soon it was the last day of the qualifiers.

As expected, the final draw resulted in the same outcome as Mu Ci had predicted.

Tianshui Academy versus Shrek Academy!

At this point, all the teams in the qualifiers have finished their matches, and those that were meant to advance have already emerged.

Regardless of the outcome of the final match.

The top five are: Plant Team, Skywater Team, Blazing Fire Team, Divine Wind Team, and Shrek Team!

As for Thunder Academy, no matter how unwilling Yu Tianxin was, she had to give way under the might of five teams with Soul Kings.

However, what reassured Yu Tianxin was that although Yu Tianheng had defeated him in this elite competition, his mutated martial soul was not well received by Yu Yuanzhen and the other elders.

His position as the next sect leader has actually become more stable under Yu Tianheng's manipulation.

The final round of the preliminary rounds in the Heavenly Battle Arena.

"Next up is the final preliminary round of our Continental Elite Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academies!"

"The Tianshui team, composed entirely of beautiful women, will face off against the dark horse of the tournament, the Shrek team!"

At the host's enthusiastic announcement, the audience in the arena erupted in cheers!

Because most of the people present knew that this would be the last game they would ever see.

As for the subsequent qualifying rounds and the Wuhun City finals, those were not something ordinary people like them could watch.

At most, this final ranking of academies will be seen in the newspapers of the Spirit Hall later.
