Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting by Settling Scores with Bibi Dong

The Wuhun Hall Academy team stood there in silence, a dense and frigid killing intent piercing toward the Shrek Seven Devils like a sharp blade.

"The finals of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament are about to begin. Both teams, prepare yourselves. The match will start in one quarter of an hour."

Following the referee's announcement, the battle between the two teams officially began.

Grandmaster was the first to raise his right hand, and each of the Shrek Seven Devils followed suit, stacking their eight hands together and shouting in unison, "Victory!"

On the other side, the Wuhun Hall Academy team heard the roar from the Shrek Academy side. Their captain, Xie Yue, couldn't help but curl his lip and sneer, "Victory? Today, we will show them what true strength is. The gap in spirit power is an insurmountable chasm."

"Even the lowest-ranked spirit master among us is on par with their captain. I want to see exactly what they have to rely on to win."

A cold and sinister gaze swept across his companions as Xie Yue said coldly, "His Holiness the Pope is watching, and the elders are watching too. We must not only win this match, but win it decisively, without giving them any chance at all."

"As for that Tang San, I will handle him. What are we?"

"Champions!" An even more intense roar erupted from the Wuhun Hall Academy team.

"Prepare for the match. Both sides may release your spirits."

As the Cardinal acting as referee stood between them, he made the announcement.

The fourteen people from both sides stared at each other. No one spoke a word, but the violent collision of their auras pushed the tension to its absolute limit in an instant.

The seven members of the Wuhun Hall Academy team moved almost simultaneously, their surging spirit power exploding from within their bodies.

The three people standing at the front, including Xie Yue, each displayed the optimal spirit ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and one black ring.

The other four behind them also possessed the optimal configuration of two yellow and two purple rings.

The gaze in everyone's eyes became extremely determined.

One female student standing at the very back stepped back quickly, a golden scepter appearing in her hand. Without a doubt, she possessed an auxiliary-type tool spirit.

However, apart from Qian Xun'an, no one knew that this female student was actually Qian Renxue.

As for the spirit rings on her body and the scepter in her hand, they were merely part of her disguise.

The Shrek Seven Devils also began their release at the same time. The seven stood in order, with Tang San and Dai Mubai at the front. Behind them stood Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu. The last row consisted of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, forming a two-three-two formation.

Unlike the previous match, Shrek Academy did not employ the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill this time, but instead released their spirits in a perfectly normal fashion.

All seven of them had four spirit rings, though, naturally, the most eye-catching was Tang San, who possessed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Pope Bibi Dong frowned slightly, looking involuntarily toward Grandmaster's direction, thinking to herself, Xiao Gang, you really have changed your formation again.

However, Qian Xun'an was incredibly confident because, in this match, their Wuhun Hall side had a Spirit Emperor powerhouse as a safety net.

Therefore, no matter how much Shrek Academy struggled, it was impossible for them to win.

Still, Qian Xun'an had already instructed Qian Renxue not to make a move until the very last moment.

Because Qian Xun'an wanted to see if this Golden Generation truly possessed the strength to match their arrogance.

"The match begins." As he announced the start of the final battle of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Cardinal retreated rapidly, clearing the field.

The first to move from the Wuhun Hall Academy team was not their captain, Xie Yue, who stood at the front, but his younger sister, Hu Liena.

Moving with light, lotus-like steps, Hu Liena seemed to turn her body and arrived at the very front. As she released her spirit, she seemed to become even more beautiful, and a fluffy, large tail sprouted from behind her.

At the same time, Tang San, standing at the front of his team, reached back to catch the point of pink light tossed by Oscar and stepped forward.

He walked straight toward the seven opponents, and six strands of Blue Silver Grass shot out from his right hand, wrapping around the waists of the other six members of his team.

The Blue Silver Grass control had been initiated.

Hu Liena looked coldly at the approaching Tang San. The five spirit rings on her body flashed in a rhythmic sequence: first the black fifth ring, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow first ring.

With each pulse of her spirit rings, the red light on her body grew more intense. Xie Yue, standing behind her, also moved at this moment.

Xie Yue's Moon Blade was not one, but two—two blood-red crescent blades resembling the moon. He gripped the center of each blade with his hands.

As his body moved, he spread his arms and actually lunged from behind toward his sister.

A red curtain of light suddenly appeared and expanded. The moment Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies collided, that layer of red light enveloped them both.

At the same time, the red light exploded outward, expanding like a sphere of light that covered nearly half the arena.

The Wuhun Hall Academy had opened with a spirit fusion skill!

The Wuhun Hall Academy had used the spirit fusion skill Yao Mei right from the start.

Red light flickered, and the two people became one—a figure with long, flowing hair, impossible to distinguish as male or female.

The greatest characteristic of this spirit fusion skill was control. Within the range of the Yao Mei skill, everyone's senses would be reduced by fifty percent, and their spirit power would be suppressed by fifty percent.

All actions would be slowed by fifty percent.

Tang San shook both arms, and the Blue Silver Grass connected to his arms rippled like waves, throwing the six figures out from the red mist simultaneously.

To those watching from the outside, it was a different scene. As the gasps subsided, the six figures were already soaring into the air from the red mist.

A tiger's roar erupted from Dai Mubai. While still in mid-air, his first spirit skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier, and his third spirit skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, exploded simultaneously.

Huge flaming wings spread from Ma Hongjun's back, while Xiao Wu landed directly on the ground. The Shrek Six Devils had entered combat mode in an instant.

"Unless you can fly, it is impossible to escape my spirit fusion skill," Xie Yue said coldly.

But just as Xie Yue lunged forward, Tang San's voice reached his ears, "Then we'll show you how we fly."

Whether it was Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing leaping into the air, or the others who had landed on the ground, a faint glow suddenly erupted from behind each of them in an instant.

The light transformed into wings, and the six of them accelerated almost simultaneously, breaking out of the red mist in a flash and soaring directly into the sky.

"How is this possible?" Pope Bibi Dong watched the Shrek Six Devils fly out, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing lunged straight at the opposing spirit king, Yan, while Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu engaged the other three battle spirit masters.

Qian Xun'an watched with a calm gaze, murmuring, "This food-system spirit master is indeed quite rare."

The next moment, Tang San released his Eight Spider Lances. Each leg was over four meters long, as thick as an arm, and shimmered with a purplish-black luster. The slightly curved barbs on each limb glinted with a cold light, and each leg was divided into two sections, with the razor-sharp tips resembling indestructible spears.

He instantly attacked Xie Yue.

Dai Mubai's tiger claws suddenly unsheathed with a metallic clang, and he pounced toward Yan below.

Among the remaining four members of the Wuhun Hall Academy team, three battle spirit masters stepped forward to meet Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu.

Only the support-system spirit master remained standing in place, making no move at all.

On Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's side, after their first collision with the opponent, the two immediately switched to hit-and-run tactics. They avoided a direct confrontation with Yan, relying on Zhu Zhuqing's speed to launch sneak attacks while Dai Mubai drew his attention from the front.

A cold, icy glint appeared on Tang San's face as he brought his hands together in front of his chest. Every time the light in his eyes flickered, the air seemed to solidify a little more.

The Eight Spider Lances on his back acted like eight long spears, constantly thrusting from impossible angles, while his body's movements were entirely controlled by the lances.

Xie Yue's Moon Blade was even more powerful than Tang San had imagined. Every time his tough Eight Spider Lances collided with the blades, a mark was left behind. Some of the smaller barbs were even sliced off by the Moon Blade.

Suddenly, after parrying two attacks from the Eight Spider Lances, Xie Yue spun around. One of the two Moon Blades in his hands shot out like a bolt of lightning, continuing to spin as it flew through the air.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xie Yue's mouth.

Xie Yue sneered, "So what if you can see me within Yao Mei? Once I have the upper hand, you won't have any more chances!"

The whistling sound of the Moon Blade and the increasingly eerie red patterns on it put immense pressure on Tang San, but it was at this moment that his combat experience truly shone.

Seeing the Moon Blade tearing through the air toward him, Tang San suddenly retracted his outstretched arms while rapidly twisting his body in mid-air. He lashed out with his left hand, and the five-hundred-jin Clear Sky Hammer met the blade head-on.

With a thunderous boom, both the Clear Sky Hammer and the Moon Blade were sent flying.

"So what if you can use the Clear Sky Hammer to block my Moon Blade?

You only have one Clear Sky Hammer, but I have two Moon Blades. I want to see how you block my attacks coming one after another."

Xie Yue unleashed his Moon Blades once more.

Just as his pupils contracted sharply, Tang San made his move, once again using the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer and the Moon Blade knocked each other away, but a miraculous scene unfolded: the deflected Clear Sky Hammer happened to intercept the other Moon Blade in mid-air, colliding with it once again.

"No, this is absolutely impossible."

The pupils of the human-demon-like Xie Yue began to shrink rapidly.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yue didn't seem to be in a hurry, staring at Tang San, "You are the first person to experience my self-created skill. You should feel honored to be defeated by it."

Tang San said coldly, "You haven't won yet.

When Feng Xiaotian used the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf on me, he probably had the same thought. You saw how that turned out for him."

With a disdainful smile, an eerie light flared in Xie Yue's eyes, "Can a rookie like Feng Xiaotian even be compared to me? My self-created skill has no flaws. Behold, Full Moon."

Xie Yue moved; his body spun like a whirlwind. In an instant, he and his two Moon Blades vanished, and all that appeared before Tang San was a massive white disc.

To defeat Tang San, Xie Yue finally unleashed his most powerful strike.

Tang San's eyes lit up, and his body began to move. To be precise, his body also began to rotate. The eight spider legs on his back straightened out, and as Tang San spun, they transformed into a whirlwind.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances shattered one by one under Xie Yue's Full Moon spirit skill.

However, Tang San's resistance was not over yet. He didn't have a ninth spider leg, but he had something else.

The Clear Sky Hammer finally appeared in the final moment of this rotation. It shot out from Tang San's whirlwind-like body and slammed heavily into his opponent's Full Moon.

A piercing screech of friction and a roar erupted, with countless sparks exploding from the center of their collision.
