"Hmph!"
"What nonsense are you babbling over there?"
"Sixth Soul Skill—Angel Domination!"
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit, offer yourself up like a good little girl!"
Qian Wuyou's gaze was icy. He showed no mercy.
Xiao Wu, forcibly controlled by Angel Domination, couldn't resist Qian Wuyou's will. Her body was completely beyond her control.
The next second, an incredibly intense pink light burst from Xiao Wu. It grew brighter and brighter, eventually becoming a pillar of pink light that shot straight into the sky.
The dazzling pillar pierced all of Heaven Dou City, and countless people within the city witnessed the strange and shocking sight.
Xiao Wu's life force was rapidly draining away. The color was fading from her face as she gazed at Tang San, held captive not far away, her eyes filled with reluctance and longing.
The sacrifice had begun.
"No... Xiao Wu... don't sacrifice yourself..."
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like an ox.
He roared and tried to rush over, but his body was held fast. He couldn't even move a finger.
All Tang San could do was watch as Xiao Wu's presence grew weaker and weaker, while the pink pillar of light turned ever more mournful, as if lamenting a desperate farewell.
"Damn it!"
"Why aren't the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan coming to help?"
Tang Hao, still fighting desperately, wore a frighteningly grim expression.
He looked at Qian Wulu, who was receiving Xiao Wu's sacrifice, his murderous intent impossible to conceal.
After all, Xiao Wu was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring he had prepared especially for Tang San.
He had kept his eye on her for a full six or seven years, waiting for Tang San to break through to level 90 and become a Titled Douluo so he could absorb her ring.
And now, someone else was reaping the harvest!
"Xiao Wu... no..."
The rest of Shrek's people were all consumed with grief and fury.
Though they had been shocked to learn Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, more than a year spent together had forged a deep bond between these young men and women.
They wanted to save Xiao Wu, but found they couldn't move.
Clearly, they too had been firmly controlled by Angel Domination.
With no other choice, they could only listen to Tang San's heart-rending cries and watch Xiao Wu's body slowly turn transparent. They were filled with despair, yet powerless to change what was happening.
In an instant, the atmosphere across Shrek Academy froze. All that remained was Xiao Wu's mournful pillar of pink light, intertwined with Tang San's desperate roars.
"Heh!"
"If anger were any use, what would we need the strong for?"
Qian Wuyou sat upon his throne, watching it all with cold eyes.
His expression remained unchanged as he directly forced the teachers of Shrek Academy and the Shrek Seven Devils to turn on one another.
If he had a chance to kill Tang San, he wouldn't hesitate.
And even if he couldn't kill Tang San, he didn't mind killing the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils and every teacher at Shrek Academy, completely severing Tang San's future support.
And so, the hunt began.
Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Realizing how serious the situation was, Ning Fengzhi had come to support Heaven Dou City, bringing Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone with him.
Just then, Ge Long, the Heaven Dou Empire's commander-in-chief of a million troops, appeared in the main hall of the imperial palace.
He dropped to one knee, facing Xue Ye's thunderous fury, and quickly reported,
"Your Majesty, the Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion is ready!"
"Just give the order, and I'll lead three thousand Soul Masters to surround and eliminate the enemy who invaded Heaven Dou City."
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the dragon throne, his face ashen. His fingers gripped the armrests so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
The Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul that pierced the sky outside had long since filled him with fury. He wanted nothing more than to personally lead the Soul Master Legion and kill these Spirit Hall invaders.
But unfortunately, their three black and six red Soul Ring Configuration had made one brutal fact crystal clear.
Their opponent was a Titled Douluo, and one with an utterly extraordinary Soul Ring Configuration.
He... couldn't beat him.
But as emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he had a Soul Master Legion, Soul Douluo powerhouses, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a dependable ally.
After all, the moment he discovered that people from Spirit Hall had invaded Heaven Dou City, Ning Fengzhi had come straight over with two Titled Douluo, Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone, to lend his support.
With a level 79 support Soul Master whose Martial Soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a level 95 Titled Douluo, a level 96 Peak Douluo, and a Soul Master Legion of three thousand, he refused to believe they couldn't drive out these Spirit Hall invaders.
Yes! You heard right. You didn't misread it.
They were going to drive out Qian Wuyou and the others, not kill them.
Though Xue Ye wanted nothing more than to kill the invaders, Spirit Hall was too powerful for him to dare strike a killing blow.
As an emperor, he had many things to consider.
Killing Qian Wuyou and the others would make an enemy of Spirit Hall for good.
And if things went wrong, he might even push that colossal force straight into the camp of his greatest rival—the Star Luo Empire.
An emperor's way was all about maintaining balance.
Just as Emperor Xue Ye was about to say, "Granted," a pillar of pink light stretching across all of Heaven Dou City suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliance.
The pillar of pink light interrupted Xue Ye before he could speak. Ning Fengzhi, Uncle Jian, and Uncle Bone all shrank their pupils, shock and solemnity surging in their eyes.
"Th-this is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's sacrifice?!"
Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo, Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone, shuddered. The Soul Power within them surged violently on instinct, and their solemn expressions were almost overflowing.
They recognized the origin of the pink pillar of light in an instant.
They had never imagined that a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had been hiding right at their doorstep, in Heaven Dou City.
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's sacrifice..."
"So that's why... now I understand..."
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
No wonder Spirit Hall had invaded Heaven Dou City directly. No wonder they had sent a Titled Douluo with a Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul and a three-black, six-red Soul Ring Configuration.
So Spirit Hall's target was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast hidden away at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Honestly!
They had thought Spirit Hall was coming for them.
They had been worried and on edge for nothing.
Hmm???
Wait???
Something wasn't right. Very, very wrong!
Ning Fengzhi had just started to relax.
Then he remembered something.
Hadn't Blue Tyrant Academy been renamed Shrek Academy yesterday?
And wasn't Rongrong at Shrek Academy?
"Oh no!"
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, Rongrong is in danger!"
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically.
His only daughter, Ning Rongrong, was at Shrek Academy, right in the eye of the storm.
