With a bang, Xia Yi punched an opponent, sending him flying, and then turned and left with a flourish.
At this moment, Wujin and Gu Yue also finished their battle.
"They won! They won again!"
"This time, they didn't even use their Battle Armor!"
"This is the ninth city already. They've swept through everything in their path, shattering the Tang Sect's 20,000-year-old glory."
"Yes, it's obvious that the opponents the Tang Sect arranged for them were carefully selected to specifically counter them, but they were still so easily defeated."
"In just five days, they swept through nine city branches of the Tang Sect. Heh heh, the Tang Sect's higher-ups must be green with rage."
"If the Tang Sect loses the Battle of Ming City tomorrow, hehe!"
" Tang Sect, a sect with ten thousand years of history, the glory of the Sea God and the God of Emotions, haha, I can't wait to see that scene."
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since Shrek's final exams.
In five days, Xia Yi and his two companions had already challenged the Tang Sect in nine cities.
They swept through the battlefield undefeated.
Aside from Yang Shuangshuang from the Tang Sect Headquarters in Shrek City causing Gu Yue some discomfort, the rest of the time it was just enough to force out Xia Yi and the other two to use their Battle Armor.
Being able to represent the Tang Sect Headquarters to fight against Xia Yi and his two companions, Yang Shuangshuang and her two companions not only possess abilities that can counter Xia Yi and his two companions, but their strength is also among the top in the Tang Sect below the Soul King level.
The representatives from other Tang Sect branches who came to fight were generally not as good as them.
Even they couldn't take down Xia Yi and Xia Yi two companions, so what makes anyone else think they can?
In fact, this outcome was already predetermined when Xia Yi's trio defeated the three members of the Tang Sect Headquarters in Shrek City.
At this moment, the Tang Sect's higher-ups were already in an uproar.
"Everyone, let's discuss what to do now?" The Sentimental Douluo Zang Xin personally came to the Ming City Tang Sect branch to arrange tomorrow's competition.
Now he only hopes that the Tang Sect can win one match; one match is enough.
As long as the Tang Sect isn't shut out, there's still room for maneuver.
Now, the Tang Sect doesn't need to invite the media anymore. In every city that Xia Yi and his companions pass through, the media will be waiting outside the Tang Sect's gates 24 hours in advance.
Since Xia Yi and his two companions defeated the three-person team from the Tang Sect Headquarters in Shrek City, almost every headline these past few days has been "The trio challenges the Tang Sect, sweeping all before them without a single defeat."
This infuriated the Tang Sect's higher-ups.
If the lessons learned from the Shrek Academy weren't still fresh in everyone's mind, the Sentimental Douluo Zang Xin would have wanted to secretly kill Xia Yi and the other two on the way to end it all.
"Don't worry, Master. While Gu Yue and Wujin are not included in the Ming City Tang Sect branch, defeating Xia Yi is absolutely no problem," said Xiao Jingxing, the head of the Ming City Tang Sect branch, in a deep voice.
"Is Palace Master Xiao so confident?" Zang Xin asked curiously.
Xia Yi and his two companions swept through the enemy ranks, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are now invincible below the Soul King level.
Even their Tang Sect Headquarters suffered a defeat, Zang Xin didn't know where Xiao Jingxing got the confidence to say that.
"My grandson Xiao Yicai personally take action tomorrow," Xiao Jingxing said in a deep voice.
"Your grandson, Xiao Yicai." Zang Xin frowned slightly and said, "I remember he's almost thirty now. With his talent, he should at least be Soul Emperor by now."
"That's right, Yi Cai is now a level 67 Soul Emperor with Two-Word Battle Armor," Xiao Jingxing said.
" The Soul Emperor is going to fight? Are you kidding me?" Zang Xin said calmly.
Xia Yi is only Three Ring Soul Elder. If the Tang Sect is really shameless enough to send Six-Ring Soul Emperor to deal with Xia Yi, then it would be better to just admit defeat.
"Don't worry, Lord, I guarantee I'll leave no room for argument," Xiao Jingxing said, patting his chest.
Zang Xin squinted at Xiao Jingxing, then nodded and said, "As long as the Ming City Tang Sect branch can defeat Xia Yi and preserve the last vestige of the Tang Sect, I will personally ask the Divine Craftsman to Forging Four-Word Battle Armor for you."
"Then thank you very much, Palace Master." Xiao Jingxing's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
If he had Four-Word Battle Armor, he would be able to fight even against Limit Douluo.
How could he not be excited?
As soon as Xia Yi entered Ming City, he sensed something was wrong; his eyelids started twitching violently.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked softly, having also noticed that Xia Yi was acting strangely.
"I don't know what's wrong, my eyelids are twitching badly, and I feel uneasy. I have a feeling that something is about to happen." Xia Yi frowned.
"Could it be that the Tang Sect is planning to shamelessly attack us?" Gu Yue asked curiously.
The three of them challenged their way from the Shrek Academy to Ming City.
If we win again tomorrow, we'll completely wipe out the Tang Sect.
At this point, it's quite normal for someone to jump out and cause trouble.
"I don't know." Xia Yi shook his head. He didn't know what was going on either; he just felt something was wrong.
"Forget it, let's find a place to rest first. We'll go to the Tang Sect Headquarters first thing tomorrow morning. With so many media outlets there, if those old monsters in the Tang Sect really dare to make a move, they'll have to think twice about the consequences," Xia Yi said in a deep voice.
"Take this, just in case." Gu Yue took out the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade Leng Yaozhu had given to him and Xia Yi, and handed Xia Yi's Phoenix Jade to Xia Yi.
Originally, Xia Yi didn't bring anything with him this time; he left all his treasures at the Beast Manor in the Star Dou Forest of Shrek City.
However, just in case, Gu Yue had Zi JI take all the treasures to Ming City.
She had just secretly asked Zi JI to give her the Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade.
"Okay." Xia Yi did not refuse. This was Ming City, and the Ferocious Beast should not be attacked lightly unless absolutely necessary.
The Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade is his biggest trump card right now.
Ming City!
Ming City, the most modern city on the Douluo Continent, is located in the western part of the continent and is the core of the entire western region.
The architectural style of Ming City is very different from that of Shrek City. Shrek City has a more cultural atmosphere, combining classical and modern elements.
Ming City, on the other hand, is a pure high-tech steel forest. Tall buildings stand side by side, each with its own characteristics, and many of them look strange and eye-catching.
Ming City is indeed very large, bustling with traffic. After entering Ming City, Xia Yi and his two companions spent more than three hours traveling before finally arriving at the Tang Sect branch in Ming City.
In terms of city size, Ming City as large as Shrek City, but in terms of building density and population, it definitely far surpasses Shrek City.
Since it was already night, Xia Yi and his two companions found a hotel near the Tang Sect branch and checked in.
The challenge can begin tomorrow morning, just by stepping outside.
Xia Yi knew that if the Tang Sect were truly shameless enough to send people to ambush them in the middle of the night, living far away from the Tang Sect would be useless.
The Tang Sect's strength is undeniable; they likely have spies throughout the entire Ming City.
Living far away would only make the Tang Sect think they were all guilty.
Living right next to the Tang Sect branch would actually make the Tang Sect hesitant to act against them.
There are three rooms, one for each of Xia Yi and his two companions.
Now a whole bunch of media outlets are following them around.
If Xia Yi dared to live with Gu Yue, he would probably be in the news immediately.
After a night of meditation, by the next morning, Xia Yi and the other two were at their peak in terms of Spiritual Power and Soul Power.
The entrance to the Tang Sect was already completely surrounded.
As soon as Xia Yi and his two companions entered, they heard a commotion.
"Shameless! Isn't that Xiao Yi Soul Emperor? Why is he on stage? Soul Emperor who's almost thirty years old, bullying a fourteen-year-old Soul Elder. The Tang Sect really has no shame."
As the grandson of Xiao Yicai Jingxing, the head of the Tang Sect branch in Ming City, Xiao Jingxing was quite a prominent figure in Ming City.
Most people in Ming City know him.
Upon seeing him appear in the Soul Fighting Arena, many onlookers immediately became agitated.
However, the Tang Sect leadership offered no explanation whatsoever, and apart from the three referees and three contestants, no one else from the Tang Sect showed up.
Across from the Tang Sect, on the rooftop of a building over fifty stories high and more than two hundred meters tall, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen sat on the edge of the railing, a lollipop dangling from her rosy lips. She looked disdainfully at Xiao Yi in the Soul Fighting Arena. " Xiao Yicai he? Heh, you think too highly of yourself. Do you really think Two-Word Battle Armor makes you invincible? The Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, hehe, this is going to be good!"
The girl didn't pay much attention to Xiao Yicai, only glancing at him disdainfully before turning to Xia Yi and Gu Yue. With a "crunch," she crushed the lollipop in her mouth. "Who was it that wouldn't let me date before I turned eighteen?"
Looking at Xia Yi and Gu Yue holding hands, the girl shook her pink fist and gritted her teeth, saying, " At Xiaoxiao age, you're already learning bad habits, actually trying to date! I'll find an excuse to teach you a lesson, hmph!"
Xia Yi seemed to sense something and looked up.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked curiously.
"I feel like someone is watching me," Xia Yi said in a low voice.
"Nobody's here." Gu Yue looked up, but the place was empty.
Besides, Zi JI Di Tian had been secretly following them all along; if there were anyone else, they couldn't possibly have gone unnoticed.
"Maybe I've been too paranoid lately," Xia Yi said, shaking her head.
