Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 244 Qian Renxue's Resolute Determination
Faced with the sudden change, the young man from Tiandu College didn't even have time to react before he was swallowed by the suddenly appearing purple skull.

The next moment, a purple skull condensed in the air into a young man from the Holy Spirit Sect and floated down to the ground.

The young man from Tiandu Academy also fell to the ground from the purple mist that dissipated from the sky. At this time, his eyes were empty, his skin was pale, and the sword spirit in his hand had been shattered. He fell to the ground motionless.

Liuxing frowned, and a golden flame flashed in his eyes. Then his eyes turned cold. He saw clearly that the young man from Tiandu Academy was just an empty shell. His soul had long been eaten up by the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect.

Liuying also frowned. He was so brutal in the competition. An evil soul master is an evil soul master. Does he really think that everyone is blind?
Ye Guyi closed his eyes, suppressing the murderous intent and disgust in his heart.

In the stands, Qian Renxue's face was also gloomy, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Devouring human souls is undoubtedly evil to the angels, and the person is a sinner who deserves to be judged.

If this was the territory of the Spirit Hall, she would have gone up and purified the other party with a sword, but this is Mingdu. She looked back at Bibi Dong, but Bibi Dong just smiled and turned a blind eye to the tragedy happening in front of her.

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and became more determined to take back the Spirit Hall from Bibi Dong. If they couldn't judge evil and couldn't draw the sword against sin, what kind of Spirit Hall were they? What kind of angel were they?

If it was just a simple murder, Qian Renxue would not unilaterally classify the other party as evil. After all, killing is not a big crime in the Douluo Continent, let alone in a competition. In soul masters' competitions, killing people is simply commonplace, but devouring souls is different. It is undoubtedly evil.

Anyone with a little vision can see that the martial soul of the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect is a kind of insect, and the black smoke is composed of countless tiny insects.

In the battle just now, the young man from Tiandu Academy was surrounded by these insects. The insects drilled into his brain and not only ate his soul, but also his brain marrow, eating his brain clean.

At this time, the evil soul master youth who had devoured a Soul King had a look of joy in his cold eyes. Devouring a Soul King allowed him to further improve his cultivation. He felt whole and full of energy. The soul power that he had just consumed in releasing the soul skill was completely restored to its original state, and even improved.

This is the horror of evil soul masters. Not only is their fighting style hard to defend against, but what is even more terrifying is their growth rate. Possessing an evil martial soul that can devour the souls and flesh of others, their growth rate is extremely terrifying.

Moreover, as long as they are evil soul masters, even if their martial souls do not have the ability to devour, they also have similar secret methods that can achieve the effect of quickly improving their cultivation, but it is not as fast as devouring their own martial souls.

To evil soul masters, other soul masters are nothing but food. This is one of the reasons why everyone hates evil soul masters. After all, they are unilaterally judged as food. If they don’t eliminate the evil soul masters, are they just waiting for others to eat them?

"Team member of Tiandu Academy died in battle, next one."

The bald referee frowned, looking displeased, but still abided by his duties and announced.

He was just a Soul Sage and did not see how the young man from Tiandu Academy died, but it was certain that he was dead. Moreover, during the three days of competition, more than one young man from Tiandu Academy died, so he did not pursue the matter too much.

Although the young man from the Holy Spirit Sect was indeed suspected of intentional homicide, in this kind of matter, he could get away with it by simply refusing to admit it, so there was no need to waste time on it.

When they heard the word "die in battle", the people from Tiandu Academy could no longer sit still. They stood up suddenly and glared at the Holy Spirit Sect.

At this time, the Holy Spirit Sect's side, including the evil soul master youth on the stage, had only four people in total, which means that they believed that four people could win the game.

Tiandu Academy sent two people to carry the dead student off the stage. The dead student was bleeding from all seven orifices, staining the stage red.

Looking at the bright red blood, a young man with a gloomy temperament from the Holy Spirit Sect licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "What a pity, such fresh blood."

"They are killing people intentionally."

The team leader of Tiandu College was protesting to the bald referee in an extremely excited tone.

If it was a normal competition and his students died in battle, he wouldn't say much, but this was clearly a one-sided massacre. His students clearly had no power to resist, but the other party still brutally killed his students. Who would believe that it wasn't intentional?

"It's not surprising that someone died during the game. If you have the ability, you can kill him."

A cold voice sounded in the rest area of ​​the Holy Spirit Sect.

"Ok?"

Liuxing frowned, feeling that the voice sounded familiar.

Not only Liu Xing, but Huo Yuhao and the others also had dazed expressions. They stared blankly at the Holy Spirit Sect rest area and muttered, "Sister Xiao Tao?"

"We're not going to fight anymore. We admit defeat. This is a competition, not murder. We, Tiandu Academy, are withdrawing from the competition. We're not going to fight anymore."

The teacher in charge of Tiandu Academy was very emotional and decisively gave up the competition. The strength of their Tiandu Academy was not strong. The first student to play was already one of the best students in their academy, but he ended up dying tragically.

Judging from the expressions of those people from the Holy Spirit Sect, they will obviously show no mercy. If the competition continues, it will only result in a few more corpses.

Seeing their teacher admit defeat, the students of Tiandu College felt a sense of having survived a disaster amidst their anger. The person who had just entered the arena was their captain, the only Soul King, and he had died tragically on the spot, leaving no chance of survival for the others.

Although they wanted to avenge their captain, their strength did not allow it.

This is the sadness of the weak, they can only watch familiar people die in front of them, and they can do nothing.

On the rostrum, Xu Tianran frowned and said calmly, "National Master, have your people restrain themselves. This is a competition, not a fight. They'll have plenty of opportunities to use their tactics later, but not on the field."

"Ah."

Zhongli Wu nodded lightly, his tone calm.

Bibi Dong looked at Zhongli Wu thoughtfully. Among those who had been peeping in secret before, there was Zhongli Wu, and she also sensed a familiar aura from Zhongli Wu, an aura that was similar to her essence.

"Evil soul master? Haha, really interesting."

Bibi Dong chuckled inwardly. Could any evil spirit master be more evil than her? She was the descendant of the Rakshasa God, the true evil god.

The Holy Spirit Sect won the battle after only one battle, but the people were not convinced. They were very disgusted with their ruthless tactics and booed them.

The other sects and academy teams also looked at the Holy Spirit Sect with a strange look, full of vigilance and rejection. They would avoid killing in competitions if possible, but the Holy Spirit Sect was clearly different, aiming to kill their opponents from the start.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu and others who were watching the game also had grim expressions on their faces. In their competition, killing an opponent would result in disqualification.

Compared with the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition here, their competition is like playing house.

Not only is the intensity much worse, but the cruelty is also far less.

When they saw the contestants who were killed in the competition, their faces turned pale. They had never thought that so many people would die in just one game, and they were all Soul Sects and Soul Kings. The cultivation of many of these people was even higher than theirs.

Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh that such a high-intensity competition is an all-round test and training for the contestants. As long as they can stand out, their future is destined to be limitless.

No wonder there are so many powerful people in this world. In addition to the leading resource utilization rate, it is also related to the overall environment!
On the Tang Sect side, Huo Yuhao and the others were extremely excited when they recognized Ma Xiaotao. They wanted to go and meet her right then and there, but reason prevented them from acting rashly.

And they also determined that the Holy Spirit Sect was the evil soul master sect with an Ultimate Douluo in charge, the Holy Spirit Church.

The evil soul master who attacked Shrek Academy and took Ma Xiaotao away was also from the Holy Spirit Church.

At the end of the game, when the Holy Spirit Sect left the field, they not only spotted Ma Xiaotao, but also saw Tang Ya, whom Beibei had been thinking about.

If Xu Sanshi and others had not forcibly held Beibei back, Beibei would have rushed forward without thinking. The other party was from an evil soul master sect and was ruthless. If Beibei had rushed forward recklessly, he might have lost his life.

They had no doubt whether the Holy Spirit Church had the courage.

There are few things that the Holy Spirit Cult, which cooperates with the Sun-Moon Empire, dares not do in Mingdu.

It was just killing a contestant, and the other party was the one who collided with them first, so they just killed him, and there would be no consequences.

The first round of eliminations lasted four days, which was a deviation from the originally planned three days, but it was not a big deal.

After the first round of eliminations in the competition, half of the 168 teams were eliminated, and the Mingyue Hotel became much emptier because the eliminated teams were no longer eligible to continue living in the Mingyue Hotel. They either had to leave directly or go to other hotels and book rooms at their own expense.

Most of the eliminated teams chose to leave Mingdu and no longer paid attention to the upcoming competitions.

The accommodation conditions of all the teams that advance to the competition at Mingyue Hotel have been improved. If they can enter the final eight, they can also experience the top-level treatment of the top-floor villa.

The knockout round entered the second round. Because the first round took too long, there was no rest time in the second round.

After the first round of competition, the draw was held.

After the first round of competition, among the remaining eighty-four teams, fifty-six were from sects, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total. This shows that the sects' training of the next generation is indeed better than that of many academies.

After all, the academy has too many students to train, resources are scattered, and there is not enough time for training. Unlike the sects, they train from a young age and their martial spirits are passed down from generation to generation, so training is indeed easier than the academy.

However, there are still some academies that stand out, such as Xingluo Royal Academy, Douling Royal Academy, Shrek Academy, Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, etc.

After all, they are all academies that have been able to reach the quarterfinals in previous competitions, and they are fully capable of breaking out of the siege of the sect.

When they entered the rest area of ​​the competition venue again, the entire rest area was much more spacious. Of course, it didn't have much impact on Meteor and the others.

But for Huo Yuhao and his team, it was much friendlier and they no longer had to squeeze together with other teams.

"The second round of the elimination tournament is about to begin. The first match today will be between last year's runner-up, Shrek Academy, and the Tianjia Sect."

The people of the Sun-Moon Empire do not have a very good impression of Shrek Academy.

In all previous competitions, it was precisely because of the suppression of Shrek Academy that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was able to maintain the title of perpetual runner-up.

If it weren't for the emergence of these monsters like Meteor and Firefly in the last competition, who carried the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to victory and won the championship, the title of runner-up would have continued to follow the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Therefore, it would be strange if the people of the Sun-Moon Empire liked Shrek Academy. So, as soon as they heard the words "Shrek Academy", there was a lot of booing in the audience area.

At this time, Tang San was sitting on the luxurious sofa in the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy. As the most important opponent of the Sun-Moon Empire, they enjoyed the same treatment as the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the most top-of-the-line rest area.

Sitting next to Tang San were Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong and others. They appeared as team teachers. Of course, the team leader was Zhang Lexuan.

Beside Zhang Lexuan were Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng and others. At this moment, their faces were calm, with a hint of determination. It was obvious that they had adapted to the atmosphere of the competition and were no longer nervous.

After all, they have successfully passed the first round of qualifying matches, and the pressure on them is no longer that great.

Under the pressure of the competition, their mentality has grown. They are no longer impetuous, but much calmer.

After the referee announced the two teams that would compete in the second round, Tang San took Ma Hongjun, Dai Huabin and others to the waiting area.

The players from Shrek Academy are Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Cao Jinxuan, while Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Xie Huanyue are on the bench and will not be playing today.

Their opponent, the Tianjiao Sect, was undoubtedly a little nervous. After all, the name of Shrek Academy was well-known both within the academy and within the sect.

That is one of the three giants in the mainland, an opponent that no sect dares to underestimate. They are not the kind of sect that is particularly traditional and overly rejects soul guides.

Han Zhanhu, the leader of the Tianjiao Sect, secretly cursed his bad luck as he met Shrek Academy in the second round. It was really bad luck.

But things have come to this point. Even though he is helpless, he still has to bite the bullet and go on. He can't just surrender without a fight, otherwise their Tianjiao Sect will lose all its face.
