Hearing this low, aged voice, Platinum Bishop Salazar immediately turned his head, displeased. The speaker was none other than Dugu Bo, known as the Poison Douluo, who dominated the world with his poison.
Although Salazar and Dugu Bo didn't get along, he knew what to say and what not to say, given the latter's strength.
After all, he was well aware of the consequences of angering a Title Douluo.
Understanding the meaning behind Dugu Bo's words, Emperor Xueye feigned ignorance and asked, "I heard that Mr. Dugu is now the principal of an academy. Does your academy's team have anything special?"
"Special? I don't know about that, but..." Dugu Bo played coy, then said lightly, "The champion of this year's competition can only be ours, from Seven Star Academy."
"Oh? So confident? It seems that this Seven Star Academy is indeed somewhat special," Emperor Xueye said, showing some interest.
"Of course," Dugu Bo chuckled. "I am the principal of the academy, so it's only natural that I would favor my own academy, right?"
"As for the special reasons, there are also a few. After all, my granddaughter is also on this team, and so is Sect Master Ning's daughter. I think, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's peerless support, winning the preliminary rounds should be possible."
Dugu Bo, while praising his own academy, didn't forget to compliment Ning Fengzhi as well.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, many nobles turned their gazes towards Ning Fengzhi. They hadn't expected that Ning Fengzhi's daughter had also joined the Seven Star Academy.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and explained, "Mr. Dugu is right, my daughter is indeed in the ranks of the Seven Star Academy."
With Ning Fengzhi's answer, some of the royal nobles and high-ranking officials present turned their attention to the people of the Seven Star Academy.
"Look, the match has begun."
Just as the people in the VIP seats were chatting, the match on the Great Soul Arena had already begun.
"Hmph, Cheng Xiao, this time I'll make you pay!" Dai Mubai stared coldly at Cheng Xiao and the others, raised his hands in front of his chest, and shouted, "Brothers, open your Martial Souls!"
As soon as the words fell, four Soul Rings, two yellow and two purple, appeared on Dai Mubai's body. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Tailong, who were standing behind him, also released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.
However, what was surprising was that Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Ring configuration was two yellow and one purple. Obviously, without the help of the immortal herbs, the improvement in the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils wasn't that significant.
As for Xiao Wu, who was in a state of diligent cultivation, her cultivation speed was still very fast. Even without taking the immortal herbs, as a Soul Beast undergoing reincarnation, she quickly reached the configuration of four Soul Rings.
But soon, astonished voices spread from the audience seats. Tang San, standing in the center of the Shrek Academy team, had four black Soul Rings!
The configuration of ordinary Soul Masters was generally two yellow, one purple, and one black. A black fourth Soul Ring was rare in the Soul Master world. This configuration had never appeared before!!
"How is this possible?" In the VIP seats, Emperor Xueye looked at Tang San's Soul Ring configuration and couldn't help but shout, "How did this child do it?"
"Mr. Dugu, it seems that your Seven Star Academy is going to have some trouble."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, let's wait and see. The match hasn't started yet; it's easy to be proven wrong by jumping to conclusions."
On the spacious Great Soul Arena stage, Cheng Xiao looked at the Shrek Seven Devils, who had already released their Soul Rings, and a smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.
This was it. If it was just a one-sided crushing victory, then this match would be too boring.
Cheng Xiao and Tang San faced each other from afar, one black and one green, which looked particularly eye-catching in the gray arena.
"Cheng Xiao, this time, you should taste the feeling of being a loser." Tang San stared coldly at Cheng Xiao's face. It was this guy who had brought him endless humiliation, but today, he was destined to wash away the disgrace.
"Really? Then I'd really like to try the taste of failure."
Looking at Tang San's confident face, Cheng Xiao slightly twisted his neck, and a surge of extremely thick Soul Power immediately erupted from his body.
And beneath his feet, five deep, black, black, black, black Soul Rings spiraled upwards from his feet, and a black smoke that was impossible to see through also appeared around his body.
"Soul King, five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, this is impossible!" Seeing the five black Soul Rings swirling around Cheng Xiao, Tang San was completely shocked, his face turning from green to white. He couldn't believe that Cheng Xiao actually possessed five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. How could this be true!
At this moment, there were a total of fourteen figures on the Great Soul Arena, their gazes intersecting with each other, each with dazzling Soul Rings circling their bodies, causing the audience in the stands around them to erupt in exclamations.
However, those gazes from the stands were clearly focused on the young man with five black Soul Rings rising from beneath his feet.
For a moment, the entire Great Soul Arena fell silent.
"A Soul King in his teens, all with ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, how is this possible!" In the VIP seats, Emperor Xueye suddenly stood up, his gaze towards Cheng Xiao instantly changing, and a sharp aura suddenly burst forth from his body.
The Platinum Bishop Salazar's slightly squinted eyes suddenly snapped open, fixing on Cheng Xiao. Although he didn't lose his composure like Emperor Xueye, the hands on his knees were clenched tightly.
Emperor Xueye's eyes flickered as he asked Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, it seems the team you're optimistic about is the Seven Star Academy, right?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Ning Fengzhi's expression gradually returned to normal. Although Tang San's ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring had caused a storm in his heart, Cheng Xiao, at the age of fourteen, had reached the Soul King realm and even possessed five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, which was already causing his worldview to begin to collapse.
Fourteen years old, five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, a Soul King over fifty Soul Power Levels... Is this right? Obviously, something wasn't right! "That's right, Your Majesty." Facing Emperor Xueye's inquiry, Ning Fengzhi managed to maintain a calm demeanor, nodded, and smiled slightly.
On the other side, at Shrek Academy's viewing position.
"Impossible, how could anyone possess five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, and still be just a Soul King!" Grandmaster rubbed his eyes hard, wanting to confirm that everything before him was fake, but the Soul Rings pulsating on Cheng Xiao's body told him that it wasn't.
On the Great Soul Arena, the eyes of everyone from Shrek Academy also fell on Cheng Xiao. When they saw the five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings on his body, their pupils slightly constricted, and they all became stunned.
Among these people, the most difficult to accept was Tang San. He stared at the five Soul Rings on Cheng Xiao's body, and he completely broke down.
Originally, he had always considered himself a genius. Being able to possess a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for his fourth Soul Ring was a feat unmatched on the entire continent. But now, another person had appeared before him. The most absurd thing was that this person not only had a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring but also possessed five of them, and their Soul Power Level was more than ten levels higher than his own.
Was the person in front of him really a Soul Master? This was simply a being more monstrous than a monster!
