"Ghostly Binding!"
Just as the aura barrier was on the verge of shattering, as Ghost Douluo activated his soul skill, countless pitch-black, twisted ghost hands appeared out of thin air, densely covering the pale golden light shield.
These ghostly hands gripped the barrier tightly as if they were alive, and the chaotic flow of soul power that was about to dissipate was once again firmly contained within the predetermined range.
Almost at the same time that Ghost Douluo made his move, Dugu Bo and Chen Xin also acted.
A surge of immense soul power erupted from Dugu Bo's body, and the terrifying pressure had reached level ninety-five.
Thick, tangible emerald-green soul power surged forth, like a giant python awakening, rushing straight towards the top of the light barrier.
The giant serpent of soul power immediately dispersed, transforming into a misty, emerald-green poisonous fog that covered the surface of the climbing ghost hands, making the entire defensive structure even more robust.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's attack was even more direct and fierce. With a light wave of his hand, eight enormous Seven Kill Swords, formed entirely from pure soul power, were precisely nailed to the eight points of the barrier.
The sword energy crisscrossed and intertwined, forming a sharp sword net, adding another solid barrier to the defensive system jointly laid out by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Dugu Bo.
At the same time, Mu Ci also made a move from behind the crowd.
Deep underground, undetectable to others, countless resilient tree roots are growing and spreading wildly in the soil of Papal Mountain at an unprecedented rate.
Like the veins of the earth, they grip the soil and rocks tightly, striving to stabilize the foundation of the entire mountain and prevent it from collapsing due to the violent impact of the soul force above.
At this moment, all the members of the participating teams watching the game were stunned into silence as they witnessed this breathtaking scene.
Several titled Douluo who are usually high and mighty and rarely seen actually needed to join forces to suppress the aftershocks of this battle!
You must know, this is the elite competition of advanced soul master academies across the entire continent, and all the participants are young geniuses under the age of twenty-five.
"Is this a competition we should be participating in?" one of the team members muttered to himself, but those around him nodded in agreement.
On the Tianshui team's side, Shui Yue'er was so excited that she kept shaking her sister Shui Bing'er's arm, her voice full of excitement.
"Bing'er, Bing'er! Look! We've never seen Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling use this move before! It's amazing! It actually took several Title Douluo seniors working together to suppress it!"
"Indeed! More powerful than imagined." Shui Bing'er smiled at her younger sister, responding to her excitement, then turned her gaze to the aloof Xue Di beside her and asked, "Sister Xue Di, how are you feeling?"
Upon hearing Shui Bing'er's question, a hint of undisguised amazement flashed across Xue Di's clear, beautiful eyes.
Xue Di nodded slightly, her gaze still fixed on the core of the arena, which was sealed by layers of power. Her clear, cold voice rang out with a hint of admiration.
"They are indeed very powerful. The spirit fusion technique used by the Royal Fighting Team and the Spirit Hall Team has reached the peak level of the Soul Douluo level."
"Especially the impact that erupts at the end of the collision, the destructive soul power fluctuation contained therein is completely comparable to the full-force attack of a 100,000-year-old soul beast using its innate ability. According to your soul master classification, it is equivalent to the full-force use of the ninth soul skill of a titled Douluo."
“I must say,” Xue Di said with a touch of emotion, “that the human race is truly blessed by heaven and earth.”
"If they continue to grow at this rate, even if the Soul Beast race had not been subject to the restrictions set by the Dragon God, they might not have been able to become a match for humans in the end." This was Xue Di's heartfelt sentiment.
Since she left the far north ice plains with Mu Ci and Shui Bing'er and truly stepped into the human world, she has been able to personally experience the essence of the human race.
My time at Tianshui Academy was alright; I mostly interacted with young girls who came to study there, and I learned a lot about the daily life within the academy.
Even when he occasionally strolled around Tianshui City with Shui Bing'er and the others, he would only marvel at how rich and colorful human life was, far surpassing that of soul beasts.
However, when Xue Di led the Tianshui Academy students to Wuhun City, she realized that the overall strength of humanity was in no way inferior to the far-northern soul beast clan she led.
As a powerful being at the demigod level, Xue Di possessed exceptionally keen senses.
She clearly sensed that a human demigod, whose aura was comparable to hers, was lurking in the ancestral hall located in the mountains behind the city.
Moreover, there were several titled Douluo powerhouses there whose strength was comparable to that of Ice Emperor and Titan Snow Demon King.
As for the Pope named Bibi Dong in front of her, Xue Di felt a bit strange.
Through the Snow Maiden's innate perception, Bibi Dong's realm had completely reached the demigod realm of level ninety-nine, but in reality, the aura she revealed only showed a level of around ninety-seven, which really puzzled the Snow Empress.
Even so, Xue Di still felt a deep sense of apprehension about the strength of Wuhun City.
Fortunately, she is now the High Priestess of the Ice God and has established good relationships with a group of future human powerhouses, including several Divine Examiners, or rather, future gods.
In this way, she wouldn't have to worry about whether the far north would be targeted by human soul masters after she left.
Thinking of this, Xue Di couldn't help but glance at Mu Ci on the other side.
On the other side of the crowd.
Chapter 220 Elders' Conspiracy, Blood-Red Eyes Gaze
On the other side of the spectator group.
Two middle-aged men dressed in the uniforms of teachers from a high-level Soul Master Academy exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror and fear in each other's eyes.
They could never have imagined that, in just over a decade since they left the world of Soul Masters, the geniuses of the outside world had reached such an astonishing level.
Many academies, including Plant Academy, Spirit Hall, Royal Battle Academy, Heavenly Water Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Star Luo Academy, and Shrek Academy, have produced Soul Kings around the age of twenty, with the best among them almost reaching the Soul Saint realm.
With so many terrifying geniuses, among the second and third generation disciples of the same age in the entire Haotian Sect, not a single one can be compared with the outstanding individuals in this elite competition.
Even the two most outstanding young disciples of the Haotian Sect, Tang Long and Tang Hu, are probably not as good as the weaker ones in this competition, such as Feng Xiaotian and Davis.
"Fifth Elder, have we really been out of touch with the world of Soul Masters for too long? Why does this world feel different from what it was back then?" the Fourth Elder said, somewhat doubting his own existence.
The Fifth Elder's disguised face showed a hint of helplessness, but it quickly turned into a solemn expression. "Fourth Brother, this is not something we should be discussing. You should be thinking about how to rescue that troublemaker Tang Hao later."
“There are already five Title Douluos here. Sword Douluo may not make a move, but Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are both at the peak of level 96, which is not much weaker than the sect master. Not to mention that the two of them also have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.”
"With the addition of a level 95 Poison Douluo and the unknown Bibi Dong, we are under a lot of pressure."
"What exactly did the sect leader go to do? Is he coming or not?"
This is no longer a matter of whether or not Tang Hao will be saved; it's that if they jump out, they will be killed right here in front of the Papal Palace.
The Clear Sky Hammer is indeed very powerful. It doesn't just boast that it's the number one weapon spirit in the world; its quality is undeniable.
But even the strongest have their limits. They are not like the former sect leader Tang Chen, who could overcome so many levels to defeat the many with the few.
With the strength of these two old brothers, it's possible for them to fight Poison Douluo together, but the thought of facing four Title Douluos who are of a higher level than them is enough to make one feel hopeless.
At this moment, the Fifth Elder had already begun to have second thoughts.
Inheriting a soul bone is indeed very important, but you have to be alive to get it, not to mention that once they make a move, the consequences will be just as severe.
Breaking the ban signed with the Spirit Hall back then is tantamount to declaring war on the Spirit Hall again.
If Tang Xiao were here, with his level 96 strength, plus the power of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Nine Absolutes of Clear Sky, he could easily take on two opponents. With their help, the chances of rescuing Tang Hao would greatly increase.
But now that Tang Xiao is gone, they really have no idea what to do.
The Fourth Elder's expression also turned serious upon hearing this. He had considered this issue as well, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Let's wait and see. If the sect leader hasn't arrived by then, we'll give up on saving Tang Hao and try a different target."
As the Fourth Elder spoke, a deep killing intent flashed in his eyes, and the chilling feeling made the surrounding team members, who were still in surprise, shiver.
"Change targets?" The Fifth Elder was somewhat puzzled. If they weren't going to save them, they could just leave. What other targets were there?
"Fifth Brother, you haven't forgotten how Sixth Brother died, have you?" The Fourth Elder's voice transmission was somewhat chilling.
"How could that be? It's just the Mu family from Shenmu City, how could I forget them!"
At this point, the Fifth Elder was suddenly startled.
The Mu family? Mu Ci!
"Fourth Brother, are you planning to take action against Mu Ci?" The Fifth Elder's voice was somewhat grave.
The Fourth Elder's voice was cold as he began to explain to the Fifth Elder.
"That's right, it's Mu Ci. I've been inquiring these past few days, and all the top beauties in this elite competition are fiancées of that bastard Mu Ci."
"The fact that so many people are drawn to him shows just how high his talent is. Even Dugu Yan is already at level 66, so it's not impossible that Mu Ci has already broken through to Soul Saint."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder was greatly alarmed and began to take this younger member of the Mu family seriously.
They didn't know the truth about what happened back then very clearly.
But the enmity has already been formed, and with Mu Ci's exceptional talent, he will probably become another Title Douluo in just a few years.
At that time, they do not believe that the three titled Douluo of the Mu family will let go of such grudges lightly and not bother with it.
"Fourth Brother, what are you planning to do?" The Fifth Elder had also made up his mind and was ready to give it a shot.
Watching Mu Ci grow up is like cutting flesh with a dull knife; it hurts, but there's nothing you can do. But the opportunity now is perfect.
Rather than doing that, we might as well finish him off here, beat him up and run. I don't believe he can't escape.
"If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly!" the Fourth Elder said coldly. "If you're going to kill Mu Ci, you can't let his fiancées go either. Leaving them around will only cause endless trouble!"
"Gudong!"
The Fifth Elder swallowed hard, his eyes filled with horror. "Fourth Brother, have you gone mad?"
"I'm not crazy. Any one of these people will grow to at least level 97! If we don't wipe them all out, we'll still suffer in the future!" The Fourth Elder's eyes were now bloodshot.
"But Fourth Brother, don't forget that our martial spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer!" the Fifth Elder hurriedly stopped him. "If you and I were to strike, a whole bunch of people would die."
"By then, once the news gets out, we won't even need to wait until later. The Spirit Hall and half of the Soul Master world will come to besiege the Clear Sky Sect. We won't even survive two months!"
After being reminded by the Fifth Elder, the Fourth Elder immediately realized what was going on.
Indeed, their martial spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, which doesn't allow for point-to-point attacks, but rather smashes large areas at once.
If the goal is to kill those girls and implicate the rest of the group, the resulting trouble will be far more than just a little; it could involve most of the top forces in the Soul Master world.
"Then let's kill Mu Ci and Dugu Yan first. That way, the scope will be smaller. They are also the two most outstanding among everyone." The Fourth Elder gritted his teeth and narrowed down the scope.
"Alright, let's see how things go then!" The Fifth Elder said somewhat helplessly. Compared to this, he still wanted to go back and discuss it further.
However, neither of them expected that just as they were discussing their target, Mu Ci...
Mu Ci's keen senses instantly locked onto the two elders of the Haotian Sect in the crowd.
At the same time, on Mu Ci's exposed neck, a blood-red eye suddenly opened, staring at the two of them with extreme indifference.
Although it was unclear what they were discussing, the murderous intent was clearly directed at him, and the outcome was obvious.
"Those two old fools who don't know what's good for them!"
Chapter 221 The Losers' Bracket Ends, Royal Fight Wins!
The terrifying aftershocks of the two martial soul fusion skills raged for a full thirty breaths before finally subsiding.
The four Title Douluos responsible for suppressing this violent soul power finally breathed a long sigh of relief and withdrew the released soul power back into their bodies.
