The Death of Shi Nian: Seven Shura Illusion vs. Purple Demon Eye

Jiang Huai put away the spirit bone and led his people away from the scene, not a single one of them looking back.

They returned to Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City, where Jiang Huai warned them not to spread word of this incident, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Huai handed the Illusion Wisdom Skull Bone to Ning Rongrong, telling her to absorb the spirit bone that very night.

This was also a precaution; as the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect master, with the entire sect and two Title Douluo backing her, she would not be coveted by evildoers.

Soon, Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang returned, informing Jiang Huai that their opponent tomorrow would be Tianshui Academy.

Among the Four Elements Academy, the strongest was Kamikaze Academy, followed by Tianshui, Thunder, Blazing, and Plant Academy. Tomorrow would undoubtedly be a tough battle.

Jiang Huai told the others to go back and rest to prepare for the final preliminary match the next morning, and told his teammates to face the battle in their most perfect and peak state.

Just like that, Jiang Huai and the others returned to their respective dorms to rest. Ning Rongrong absorbed the Illusion Wisdom Skull Bone while Gu Yue and Xiao Wu stood guard in her room.

Although the academy was the safest place, guarded by three Spirit Douluo, and no one would dare to attack them, one could never be too careful about someone knocking on the door and causing a disturbance.

Therefore, Gu Yue and Xiao Wu remained highly vigilant of their surroundings, refusing to let anyone disturb Ning Rongrong.

Zhu Zhuqing was still researching her self-created spirit skill, Dai Mubai was reading in the dorm, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were sleeping on their beds, Tang San was studying hidden weapons, and Jiang Huai was reviewing the files submitted by the Shrek Inspection Group and the student council.

After processing the files, Jiang Huai handed them to the person who had delivered them. That person took the files and left, heading toward the temporary building where Qin Ming was sitting in the top-floor office, acting as president until the Spirit Master Tournament concluded.

The next day arrived quickly, and Jiang Huai led his teammates to the Great Spirit Arena. Today, there was only one match: the battle between Shrek and Tianshui Academy.

It remained to be seen which seven people Jiang Huai would send to compete, and all the participating teams were waiting for the Shrek Academy team to appear.

Tianshui Academy had already selected their contestants, but the door to the Shrek lounge remained tightly shut.

Inside the lounge, Jiang Huai had everyone gather around and said, "I'm going in this time!"

"What!" x15

Yu Xiaogang objected, "No! Jiang Huai, you are the trump card of the entire team, and a level 52 Spirit King at that. If you appear, you will definitely expose our full combat strength."

Jiang Huai smiled and shook his head, "I will use my second martial soul, but they don't know I have twin martial souls, and I have never revealed what my martial soul is."

After a period of discussion, the seven people selected to represent Shrek in the match were Jiang Huai, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Jing Ling.

Once the participants were chosen, the door to the Shrek lounge was pushed open. Jiang Huai led his teammates out, passing by the Tianshui Academy team as they headed toward the waiting area.

Members of other academy teams watching from the sidelines let out cheers, and the women of Tianshui Academy, especially Shui Yue'er, looked at the departing Jiang Huai with infatuation.

Shui Bing'er gently tapped her sister's head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Shui Yue'er clutched her head and said, "Sister, look at the Shrek team captain, Jiang Huai. He's so handsome."

Shui Bing'er smiled and said, "Then you can't show any mercy later."

After tidying up, Shui Bing'er led her sisters to the waiting area, where Jiang Huai and his team had just arrived to wait for the start of the match.

Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang took those not competing to the spectator stands. Today's match was lively and packed, with every seat filled by people looking forward to the final preliminary round.

Soon, the judges—Emperor Xue Ye, Salas, and Ning Fengzhi—had taken their seats, followed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's guardian Douluo Chen Xin, the three education commissioners of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, as well as Prince Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe.

With all the important figures seated, Dou Dou flew into the sky above the arena with a microphone.

"Open the sunshades!"

Following the sound of machinery turning, the ceiling of the Great Spirit Arena opened, letting in the sunlight.

Jiang Huai looked at his teammates and said, "Brothers! Today is the initial starting point for us to compete for the championship. Do you have confidence!"

"Yes!" x6

The members of the Shrek Academy team were full of fighting spirit. Although the seven members of the Tianshui Academy team were all women, their only defeat in the tournament had been against Kamikaze Academy. Shrek also had no losses, mostly due to opponents forfeiting for various reasons, but they remained an undefeated team.

Dou Dou spoke into the microphone, "Will both teams please enter the arena!"

At these words, Jiang Huai and Shui Bing'er led their respective teammates into the arena, where the two sides stood facing each other in two rows, filled with fighting spirit.

After the two sides exchanged salutes, Dou Dou waved her hand, flew into the air, and shouted, "Spirit battle, begin!"

Jiang Huai carried the Jinxu Longyuan Sword in one hand and said coldly, "Brothers! Release your martial souls!"

Dai Mubai and the other six followed suit, releasing their martial souls. Five spirit rings floated down around Jiang Huai, revealing his super-configuration of two yellow, one purple, and two black rings.

A terrifying sword aura filled the entire arena. Seeing that Jiang Huai was actually a Spirit King, Shui Bing'er realized her original tactics had to change. She shouted, "Xue Wu! Ice and Snow Fluttering!"

Xue Wu turned from her shock and immediately rushed toward Shui Bing'er, but Jiang Huai would not let them have their way.

Without using the power of his spirit rings, Jiang Huai said calmly, "Too slow!"

Jiang Huai lightly flicked a strand of sword aura, which sent Shui Bing'er flying out of the arena, eliminating her. Xue Wu was also pushed back by the shockwave and fell off the stage.

Everyone watching shuddered, and the members of other academy teams felt a chill in their hearts. They thought to themselves that it was fortunate Jiang Huai hadn't played in previous battles, otherwise, they would have ended up just like Shui Bing'er and her team.

The others from Tianshui Academy were still tenacious. Shui Yue'er used her spirit skill, "Third Spirit Skill: High-Pressure Water Ball!"

Jiang Huai easily sliced the water ball in two with one strike. Suddenly, he appeared in front of Shui Yue'er in a flash, the tip of his sword stopping just one centimeter from her fair neck. Tears welled up in Shui Yue'er's eyes.

Seeing her sister's eyes filled with tears, Shui Bing'er shouted loudly, "Tianshui Academy concedes!"

At these words, Dou Dou appeared from out of nowhere, grabbed Jiang Huai's hand, and raised it high, shouting, "The champion of the preliminary round of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament is Shrek Academy!"

Hearing that Shrek had taken first place, Shui Yue'er burst into tears and threw herself into her sister's arms.

Shui Bing'er felt helpless and could only gently pat her sister's back to comfort her, while casting a resentful glance at Jiang Huai.
