Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 87 The Main Body Attacks
Tang Wutong's delicate body twisted back to normal, and the Haotian Hammer spun once in the air, bringing a terrifying gust of wind as it crashed down on Ye Xixuan's head.

Although the Clear Sky Hammer is a weapon spirit, it possesses near-extreme power attributes, and it also has a remarkably amazing amplification effect on the power of a spirit master.

Tang Wutong's hammer strike even employed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique inherited from the Clear Sky Sect. Under the same cultivation level, even a top-tier defensive battle spirit master like Xu Sanshi would find it extremely difficult to block this hammer strike.

As if replicating Tang Wutong's movements, Ye Xixuan swung the Shadow Haotian Hammer in the opposite direction, spinning it once before swinging it upwards. At the same time, hideous and eerie demonic runes instantly covered his entire body, and the Heavenly Spider Claws on his hands switched to dark attributes.

A deafening crash resounded, shaking the entire arena. It was a clash of pure power, even causing a slight distortion in the surrounding space.

The granite floor beneath Ye Xixuan's feet was cracked in layers, and his legs were slightly bent, revealing perfectly sculpted muscles.

Tang Wutong's Haotian Hammer suddenly sprang up, sending her flying backward toward the edge of the arena.

Du Weilun intervened in time, using his soul power to help Tang Wutong neutralize the terrifying force. However, after she landed outside the arena, her hands were still trembling uncontrollably as she stared blankly at Ye Xixuan inside the arena.

This proud Tang princess, who had always been arrogant, had her pride completely shattered.

Whether it was the attribute attack of her proud Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, or the pure, extreme power of the Clear Sky Hammer, both were completely overwhelmed by Ye Xixuan. The enormous difference in strength, in particular, prevented her from even having a chance to swing the hammer a second time.

While the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul certainly amplified Tang Wutong's power, Ye Xixuan also possessed amplification from his innate abilities, the Heart Demon Pattern and the external soul bone, the Heavenly Spider Claw.

Tang Wutong's abilities were completely countered by Ye Xixuan.

However, this proud Tang princess found that she was not so badly defeated by Ye Xixuan. On the contrary, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Ye Xixuan, who had such talent, was worthy of her, the noble daughter of a god-king.

Du Weilun took a deep breath, unsure of the emotions he was feeling as he walked to Ye Xixuan's side. He had no doubt that, with the terrifying talent Ye Xixuan had displayed, he would surely make history for Shrek Academy and even the entire Soul Master world in the future.

It was a profound honor to witness this scene during his tenure as the Dean of Instruction for the Martial Soul Department's Outer Court.

Du Weilun raised Ye Xixuan's right hand high towards the other members of the two finalist teams and shouted.

"Now I announce the final champion of this freshman assessment elimination round: the team of Ye Xixuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo."

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo excitedly hugged each other, and at Du Weilun's prompting, the two sisters walked over to Ye Xixuan's side with giggles.

Although they knew that winning the freshman assessment was basically due to Ye Xixuan's abilities, it didn't prevent it from leaving a significant mark on their resumes. It even affected their future ability to enter the inner academy and become true elites among the younger generation of soul masters.

After announcing the results of the freshman assessment, Du Weilun turned around and nodded slightly to Cai Meier on the platform.

"Now, let's hear a few words from Dean Cai of our Martial Soul Department."

"Don't be arrogant in victory, and don't be discouraged in defeat. This is something you must learn as you grow." Cai Meier stepped forward, her tone much calmer than Du Weilun's excited emotions. However, she was equally generous in praising everyone.

"I must admit that among all the freshmen I've ever seen, you are absolutely the most outstanding. Your talent should not be buried, and the academy will dedicate resources to nurturing you. One more thing I want to say is that I don't want today's competition to affect your future development. Alright, that concludes today's competition. Ye Xixuan's team, please stay behind and follow Vice Dean Zhang to collect your championship reward."

After saying this, Cai Meier and the other teachers from the Foreign Languages ​​Department on the platform dispersed.

In the end, only Zhang Lexuan and Elder Xuan remained.

At this moment, Elder Xuan frowned slightly and solemnly instructed Zhang Lexuan, "Lexuan, keep an eye on Xixuan from now on. I'm going to Elder Mu's place first."

"Elder Xuan, what exactly happened?" Even Cai Meier, a titled Douluo, couldn't detect anything amiss, so Zhang Lexuan naturally didn't know why Elder Xuan, with his cultivation level, would be so tense.

"Just a few cowardly fellows, they can't cause any trouble." Elder Xuan snorted coldly, and in the next instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Hearing what Dean Cai had said earlier, Ye Xixuan looked somewhat uneasy as she walked towards the high platform with the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, to face the pressure brought by their senior sister.

Normally, the award for the champion of the freshman assessment should be announced at tomorrow's freshman assembly. He has every reason to suspect that Dean Cai may have other thoughts and purposes in doing this.

However, to Ye Xixuan's surprise, Zhang Lexuan simply nodded to them and turned to walk towards the outer academy office building of the Martial Soul Department.

"You guys come with me."

"Yes." Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo responded respectfully in unison. Ye Xixuan, not wanting to reveal his special relationship with his senior sister in front of outsiders, could only follow behind Zhang Lexuan silently, filled with doubt.

Xiao Xiao helped Manzhu, who had just regained consciousness, and couldn't help but remind Tang Wutong, who was still reluctant to leave, "Still looking? He's already gone. Your talent, looks, and background are all good, why are you so fixated on him?"

"What do you know?" Tang Wutong snorted irritably. She always had this arrogant attitude when facing others.

Xiao Xiao immediately pouted and muttered a complaint under her breath. "No matter how proud you are, you still lost to someone else in the end, didn't you? You don't have masochistic tendencies, do you really develop feelings for him after being tormented by him?"

"What did you say?!" Tang Wutong turned around and glared at Xiao Xiao with a cold face.

Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue and made a face at Tang Wutong, then helped the taciturn Manzhu leave the assessment area.

After Xiao Xiao and the other left, Tang Wutong guiltily covered her chest with both hands, her cheeks burning. To an outsider, the unusual emotion in her eyes was clearly visible, as if she were reliving the feeling from before.

What Xiao Xiao didn't know was that her unintentional remark had just hit the nail on the head regarding Tang Wutong's feelings.

When Ye Xixuan and the other two followed Zhang Lexuan to the vice dean's office, Elder Xuan also arrived at the Sea God Pavilion. He immediately saw Elder Mu lying on the wooden chair and cast an inquiring glance at him.

"Mr. Mu?"

"It's the Body Sect. I didn't expect them to act so quickly." Elder Mu smiled calmly.

"In order to observe Xi Xuan's abilities, they actually patiently watched the entire final round of the freshman assessment. I think they were considering whether to completely break ties with Shrek Academy at all costs."

"Elder Mu, I'm going there." Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, the impatient Elder Xuan was immediately startled and transformed into a yellow streak of light, ascending thousands of meters into the air above Shrek Academy.

Elder Xuan stared coldly at the void not far ahead and said in a cold voice, "Since you're here, don't hide. When did the Body Sect, which has always acted domineeringly, become a coward?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air. A large, crystal-yellow hand, resembling a dragon's claw, tore through the void, and countless tiny black spatial rifts instantly appeared in the air in that direction.

A large, dark green hand emerged from the void and crushed Elder Xuan's dragon claw.

Immediately afterwards, a tall, green-haired old man tore through the void and uttered a strange sound.

"Hahaha. Xuanzi, if I really show myself, you'll be unhappy again."

"Poisonous Old Monster, it really is you!" Elder Xuan looked at the figure that slowly emerged from the eerie green light with a solemn expression, and said with surprise and uncertainty.

"Everyone come out."

With a wave of his right hand, Poison Immortal sent out a series of figures into the void behind him. These people were of various shapes and sizes, but each of them exuded a terrifying aura of oppression, indicating that they were at least Title Douluo level experts, and some of them were even Super Douluo.

There were actually ten experts of this level.

In other words, including Du Busi, who is the sect leader of the Body Sect, the Body Sect has mobilized a total of eleven Title Douluos this time!
"Poisonous Old Monster, have you gone mad?!" Elder Xuan roared, his mind reeling. "Eleven Title Douluos have come out in full force. Does your Body Sect really want to start a war with Shrek Academy?!"

"So what if we really go to war with Shrek Academy?" Poisonous Undying rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Back then, when Dragon God Douluo fought my brother, my Body Sect and your Shrek Academy became enemies. If it weren't for some remaining ties, why would I waste so much time talking to you? I would have just attacked. Alright, I didn't come here to talk about this. Hand over the person to me now. Don't you know that any Soul Master with a Body Martial Soul is considered a disciple of our sect?"

"What? People from your Body Sect?" Elder Xuan looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, then suddenly remembered what his grand-disciple Wang Yan had said about that freshman from the outer academy with the Body Martial Soul Eye, and immediately chuckled strangely.

"Oh, I remember now. There was indeed a kid among this year's freshmen whose martial soul was an eye, but he was eliminated in the freshman assessment a few days ago. After all, Shrek Academy doesn't accept just anyone. If you go looking for him now, you might still be able to find him."

"Xuanzi, stop pretending to be stupid with me!" Du Busi glared angrily at Elder Xuan.

"That little guy whose martial soul is an eye doesn't even have the potential for a second awakening of his martial soul. Do you think we'd go to such lengths for him?! Let's not beat around the bush. Hand over that little guy from the Ye family right now, and I'll be leaving."

"So you know that little guy?" Elder Xuan mocked, his face contorted with savage sarcasm.

"You even claimed that the Body Sect was the home of all Body Spirit Martial Soul Masters. It turns out that it was just a bunch of high-sounding words you used to recruit geniuses."

Poison Undying's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he fell silent.

It was indeed their people who were in the wrong. Whether that little guy can complete the second awakening of his martial soul and become a member of their Body Sect is one thing, but at least they can't let outsiders find a handle against him.

His statement just now undoubtedly constitutes an admission of this.

As for the sect itself, there's no need to worry about anyone harboring resentment because of this. After all, the sect's experts are all beneficiaries who have already completed their second awakening of their martial souls, and no one will stand on that little guy's side.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a completely united sect; they are merely organizations formed to protect each other's common interests.
