These three were known as the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena.
However, at this moment, the three of them looked at Ning Tian with particularly serious expressions. Ning Tian's strength was formidable; extremely strong. Although in the previous two rounds of the competition they hadn't seen him truly take action, Pope Bibi Dong had told them that Ning Tian was also a twin martial soul holder. If he used his second martial soul, his strength would be no less than that of a Spirit Saint. This was definitely their greatest enemy.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, both teams stepped onto the competition stage. The referee stood between the two teams, signaling that both sides could release their martial souls.
Although the audience had heard rumors that these three from the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation were Spirit Kings, when their martial souls were released, they couldn't help but pause in awe. Two yellow, two purple, one black—Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, standing at the front, each had five soul rings, all with the optimal soul ring configuration.
The other four were also Spirit Ancestors with the optimal soul ring configuration, and their soul power all exceeded level 45. With such strength, if it were any other team facing them, they would have probably lost the will to fight.
But when they saw the soul rings of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's main team, their blood suddenly boiled with excitement. Seven people, all with four soul rings, especially Ning Tian's exaggerated soul ring configuration of yellow, purple, purple, black—it directly blinded everyone's eyes.
…..
In the Star Luo Royal Academy's rest area below the stage, Zhu Zhuyun looked at Ning Tian and then at her sister Zhu Zhuqing, a bitter smile on her face.
'So, she has already caught up to me?'
Then she looked at Dai Weisi, who was gnashing his teeth beside her. According to the healing soul master arranged by Spirit Hall not long ago, Dai Weisi's private parts were ruined, turned into a mess of flesh. Even if the wound was healed, he could never function as a man again.
About this matter, only she and Dai Weisi knew, besides the people from Spirit Hall. To keep this secret, Dai Weisi had even promised to funnel some benefits to Spirit Hall once he became the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, they would face having their soul power crippled and being imprisoned, and then the second prince, who, despite having average talent but inheriting the White Tiger martial soul, wasn't chosen as the crown prince, would inherit the throne.
'What kind of sin is this!' Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuyun hesitated and said to Dai Weisi, "Weisi, Zhuqing can no longer threaten us. Maybe we shouldn't make things difficult for her and that Ning Tian anymore."
Dai Weisi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "No. This concerns the dignity of our Star Luo Empire. We cannot let it go. Ning Tian must die. As for that girl Zhuqing, for your sake, I'll spare her life."
In Dai Weisi's view, after Dai Mubai was crippled, his ascension to the throne of the Star Luo Empire was a done deal. He would have had a bright future, ready to achieve great things. But everything was ruined by Dai Mubai. And the root cause was that Ning Tian had told him Dai Mubai had become a eunuch. If Ning Tian hadn't told him that, he wouldn't have been overconfident, wouldn't have underestimated the Shrek team, and wouldn't have mocked Dai Mubai as a eunuch right from the start, leading to his own castration.
'Dai Mubai deserves to die, and so does Ning Tian.'
He directly looked at the Star Luo Royal Academy's team leader and said, "Teacher Durant."
"First Prince." The Star Luo Royal Academy's team leader, Durant, respectfully stepped forward. Now that Dai Mubai was crippled, only Dai Weisi could become the crown prince. Therefore, he was extremely respectful to Dai Weisi.
Dai Weisi leaned in and began whispering to Durant.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun could only shake her head helplessly and remain silent.
…..
At the same time, the atmosphere on the Shrek side was equally tense. Except for those who carried Tang San to the restroom, the rest stayed to watch the match.
Seeing that the entire New Heaven Dou Battle Team were Spirit Ancestors, and that Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling had also become Spirit Ancestors, with soul power levels not low—Ye Lingling was at least level 47, and Ning Rongrong was at level 43, they all widened their eyes in disbelief.
Oscar even cursed under his breath, "How on earth do they cultivate? Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Tian are one thing, but how did Ning Rongrong also advance to Spirit Ancestor? She's a support-type soul master, and her soul power was far below mine back then."
"And that Ye Lingling's soul power has reached such a high level; she doesn't seem inferior to Zhu Zhuqing at all," Ma Hongjun said enviously.
At this moment, both Oscar and Ma Hongjun felt extremely unbalanced. The former still vaguely remembered when Ning Rongrong was scolded by Flender for not completing her assignments, and Flender used them as examples. Especially when Flender mentioned that he was an innate full soul power food-type soul master, Ning Rongrong's shocked expression was still fresh in his memory. Now, after just two and a half years, he had only advanced from level 29 to level 35. Excluding the level gained from absorbing a soul ring, he had only increased by five soul power levels, averaging one level every six months.
In contrast, Ning Rongrong, who was only at level 26 back then, had soared ahead, especially after leaving Shrek with Ning Tian, reaching such a level in just over two years. The stark contrast drove Oscar nearly mad.
Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, was filled with regret. He regretted that after bad mouthing Ning Tian, when Ning Tian took Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others out for training, he didn't have the courage to approach them. Otherwise, with his past relationship with Ning Tian, he would have also advanced to Spirit Ancestor, and perhaps even his evil fire problem would have been resolved.
Along with regret, he couldn't help but feel resentment. He resented that when Ning Tian took Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong away from Shrek, he didn't include him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ostracized by Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar, leading to their eventual parting of ways.
Yu Tianheng, however, furrowed his brows and muttered, "Something's not right."
"What's not right?" The others from Shrek looked at Yu Tianheng simultaneously.
Yu Tianheng said, "Lingling's martial soul has changed."
While they were talking, the referee had already announced the start of the match.
Hu Liena moved gracefully, her figure flickering as she stepped to the front. With the release of her martial soul, a fluffy tail grew from her back, making her even more beautiful. Her five soul rings lit up simultaneously, a faint red light emerging as her eyes flashed towards Ning Tian. Right from the start, she went all out, intending to use her martial soul's charm ability to take down Ning Tian and win the match.
