Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

In the audience, everyone stared at the screen of the soul tool, looking at the forest below that was constantly writhing like a living thing, completely stunned.

Is this definitely a battlefield carefully prepared for the Soul Master Competition, or a meat grinder used to wipe out all the participating students?
The constantly refreshing "team wipeout" notifications on the soul tool screen sent chills down their spines—in just a short moment, countless teams had been completely wiped out.

"boom!"

Poison Undying suddenly stood up, causing his chair to slide backward a distance with a piercing sound.

He looked up at the Star Luo Tribunal suspended in mid-air, his gaze fixed on Wang Xian'er in the center, and angrily questioned, "Wang Xian'er! Isn't your Star Luo Empire blatantly cheating by creating such a battlefield?!"

These words were like a fuse, and all the eyes of the audience instantly turned to Wang Xian'er and her group, with discussions rising and falling.

They also felt that such a battlefield setup was completely illogical and no different from cheating—those crazy plants not only attacked indiscriminately but could also control plant-type students, practically driving the students to their deaths.

Despite Poison Undying's rage, Wang Xian'er maintained her gentle smile and calmly retorted, "Lord Poison Undying, this is slander."

"We agreed that you would propose the competition format, while the battlefield setup would be entirely decided by us, the organizers of Xingluo. Have you forgotten?"

One sentence instantly shut Poison Immortal up.

He opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that were about to come up in his throat.

The negotiations a few days ago were indeed like this. In order to avoid further disputes due to rule changes, both parties agreed that the Star Luo Empire would be fully responsible for adjusting the battlefield environment.

But he never expected that the Star Luo Empire would create such a terrifying battlefield!

Anyone with eyes can see that the forest below was constructed using a domain. If our disciples went in, they would be at a complete disadvantage!

Before Poison Undying could make another excuse, Wang Xian'er's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of sarcasm: "Poison Undying, you're getting worse as you get older. Didn't you see that some students down below have already noticed something's wrong with the forest?"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the images of the eliminated trainees on the soul tool screen, her tone blunt and almost sarcastic: "The fact that those people can't see it only shows that they are too weak."

"In that case, we might as well pack our bags and go home now, so as not to embarrass ourselves here."

Upon hearing this, the students from the smaller factions who had initially wanted to complain immediately deflated, lowering their heads and remaining silent.

Although Wang Xian'er's words were harsh, they hit the nail on the head—survival of the fittest is the law of the Soul Master world, and it is only natural to be eliminated if you cannot even perceive the dangers of the battlefield.

“I agree with what Senior Wang Xian’er said.” Just then, Zhang Lexuan stood up and spoke up for Wang Xian’er with a firm tone, “The Soul Master Competition is a stage for the strong to compete for first place, and the weak are destined to be eliminated.”

"Only in such a battlefield can truly select the most capable trainees."

“I also think that this kind of competition environment is very suitable for training these children.” Jing Hongchen slowly stepped forward and agreed with a look of approval.

"Poison won't kill you, look." Wang Xian'er glanced at the two who stepped forward, a smile playing on her lips. "Neither the Shrek Team nor the Sun Moon Team has any objections, so what else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

Du Busi glared at Zhang Lexuan and Jing Hongchen, his chest tightening with anger—these two were clearly in cahoots with the Star Luo Empire! Along with Wang Xian'er, the three of them had tacitly conspired to trick other forces!
But he had no way to refute it.

After all, the rules are there, and both Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Academy, two major powers, have clearly expressed their support. If he were to persist in this, he would only appear petty.

In the end, Poison Undying could only suppress his anger, let out a heavy snort, and sit back down in his seat. The Golden Body Douluo beside him was burning with rage, clenching his fists, wanting to step forward and save face for his sect leader, but Poison Undying suppressed him with a look.

"Sect Master..." the Golden Body Douluo said in a low voice, his tone full of resentment.

"Don't be foolish." Poison Undying shook his head.

On the battlefield, the carnage has spread to all the top teams.

Apart from Jin Tianming, all six members of the Sun and Moon Team were wiped out. Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul was completely ineffective in this forest, and the strange plants could even devour the energy of the Soul Guidance Device. Relying on the technological Soul Guidance Device, they were instantly plunged into a desperate situation.

The six people's bodies were tightly wrapped around the tree trunk by thick branches, their eyes closed, motionless, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

On the soul guide screen, the light representing them had gone out, signifying their complete elimination.

Not only the Sun and Moon Team, but also the Shrek and Heavenly Soul Teams are in dire straits.

In the Shrek team, apart from Mo Yan and Ling Luochen who were still guarding the outer edge of the forest, Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yutong, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er had all been eliminated deep in the forest; while Tang San was being suppressed by Tian Shuqiu and was completely powerless to fight back, looking utterly miserable.

The fate of the Heavenly Soul Team was exactly the same as that of the Sun and Moon Team. Apart from Captain Lei Ze, who was still struggling, the other six members were all wiped out.

To their horror, they discovered that the forest seemed to possess its own consciousness, constantly learning their fighting style and launching targeted attacks that left them utterly defenseless.

Just when the audience thought the Star Luo Empire had the upper hand in this Soul Master Competition, a strange scene appeared—the forest seemed to be attacking even the Star Luo team.

Xu Jiujiu: "Wen Yu, one of my own...!"

In the audience, the Golden-Bodied Douluo watched this scene and couldn't help but say to the sect leader beside him, "Sect leader, it's fortunate that you stopped me just now. It seems that the Star Luo Empire still knows the rules."

Poison Undying didn't know what to say at that moment.

He had thought the Star Luo Empire would have the upper hand, but in the end, all parties were treated equally. Now, his earlier judgment made him look like a clown!
Wang Xian'er and the other titled Douluo exchanged helpless glances upon witnessing this scene.

Sure enough, Wen Yu appeared gentle and kind on the surface, but was actually quite cunning and ruthless at heart.

And the one who started all of this, Wen Yu, was sitting leisurely on a thick branch of a towering ancient tree.

She swung her fair legs, her gaze falling on Lei Ze and Jin Tianming, who were locked in a fierce battle not far away. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone carried a hint of distress: "Trying to join forces to prevent me from reaping the benefits? That won't do..."

As she pondered, Wen Yu slowly extended her right hand.

A faint green light emanated from her fingertips, and a powerful force of nature instantly spread out—she controlled the life of all the plants in this forest!

The next second, countless vines, like awakened wild beasts, surged wildly from the edge of the forest, heading straight for Mo Yan and Ling Luochen, who had been guarding outside and had not stepped into the forest.

Wen Yu's lips curled into a calculating smile: Since Lei Ze and Jin Tianming are deadlocked, let Mo Yan enter the fray and break this balance!
