Star Luo City.
The stands were packed on final day.
The biggest Soul Master showdown in the past five years is about to end here.
Spectators from all over the mainland crowded every step. Some held flags, some blew horns, and some shouted cheers at the top of their lungs.
In the team competition, Shrek played Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, He Caitou, and barely a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, Huo Yuhao.
Gongyang Mo's injuries haven't healed yet. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu have a strong attack and a quick attack, not to mention it's difficult to play separately. Wang Yan considered Huo Yuhao's number one, Soul Skill, and let him play.
After all... in Wang Yan's plan, this team competition was to be strategically abandoned!
So, in the team competition, Shrek lost!
Second round of individual elimination!
Dai Yueheng resisted the extremely poisonous Vermilion Clear Ice Toad of Meng Hongchen and narrowly won.
Sun Moon admits defeat and gives up the individual elimination round.
Shrek scores one point.
Finally it's the battle of two, two and three.
Sun Moon Empire sent Ma Rulong and Xiao Xiafeng, while Shrek only sent Ma Xiaotao to fight.
Finally, under the influence of Ma Rulong Sword of Judgment, Ma Xiaotao Evil Fire once again broke out out of control.
Xuan Zi knocked him out and admitted defeat.
The second game of the two-two-three strategy
Sun Moon Empire sent out brothers and sisters Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
At this time, no one spoke in the Shrek square array.
Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao being carried off the field, was silent for a moment, and then turned to the remaining players.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi are still injured. Although Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu are in good condition, Martial Soul Fusion Skill can also match Soul King, but... there are two Soul King on the opposite side!
Oh! There is also a Huo Yuhao!
Wang Yan Take a deep breath.
"We admit defeat."
There was an explosion in the stands.
"Admit defeat? Why should you admit defeat?"
"Shrek never admits defeat, doesn't it?"
"Ten Thousand Years Glory, just give up like this?"
Wang Yan had no explanation. He knew that this decision would put Shrek on the pillar of shame.
But he knows better that if Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu go up to face Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the outcome will not change.
Rather than letting them go up and deliver it, it is better to admit defeat.
The score is fixed.
Shrek ranked second one to two.
In the stands, some people cried, some cursed, and some stood up and left in silence.
Shrek's Ten Thousand Years glory came to an imperfect end on this day.
What is even more unacceptable is that the one who defeated them was Sun Moon Empire, the "barbarian land" that they had despised for hundreds of years and only relied on Soul Tool.
"Shrek Isn't it too disappointing? Losing like this?"
"Don't say that. I heard that their strongest Soul Emperor has lost control. What else can we do?"
"Out of control? Soul Master If you can't control yourself, it means you don't have enough strength. If you don't have enough strength, you don't have enough training. If you don't have enough training, it means the academy isn't good enough."
"Are you going too far? Shrek is the number one college in mainland China. What's wrong with losing once?"
"Lost once? Ten Thousand Years lost for the first time, and also lost to the Sun Moon Empire. This is not a matter of losing, but a matter of shame."
What's more, a ridiculous proposal was made. Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy used a large number of high-level Soul Tool in the competition, which destroyed the balance of the competition. Their results should be cancelled, and the championship should be awarded to Shrek.
This proposal was supported by some people, but also opposed by more people.
"If you lose, you lose. Dangdang Shrek is going to win by this method?"
"That's it. If you can't afford to lose, don't come to compete."
The debate lasted for a long time and finally came to an end. The winner was still Sun Moon Empire, and the runner-up was still Shrek.
Some people returned Sun Moon Empire with the trophy. Some people returned Shrek Academy with pain.
the other side.
In the valley at the junction of the Dou Ling Empire and Star Dou Forest.
There is an ancient road covered by weeds, with large desolate fields and occasional broken walls on both sides of the road.
The further we walked, the denser the vegetation became, and eventually we couldn't even see the road clearly.
Xiao Lie Raise your hand and point forward.
"Arrived."
Lin Yaoyang looked in the direction of his finger.
A city.
No, a ruin.
The hexagonal city wall is made of granite. The majestic city wall is covered with moss and weeds, and some places have collapsed, exposing the masonry inside.
There is a hill in the center of the city, and two tall buildings can be vaguely seen on the hill. Although they are dilapidated, the grandeur of the past can still be seen.
Spirit City.
The core of the former Spirit Hall.
Before Ten Thousand Years, during Spirit Hall's heyday, this was one of the most prosperous cities in the mainland.
Pope Palace, Worship Hall, and Douluo Palace, three landmark buildings stand majestically, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Spirit Hall.
Soul Master from all over the mainland traveled thousands of miles to come to worship.
Geniuses are tested here, and strong men are canonized here.
But now, all that is left here is the whine of the wind blowing through the ruins.
Xiao Lie looked at Lin Yaoyang's expression and asked, "How is it? Do you still want to establish your power here?"
Lin Yaoyang walked to the city gate.
He reached out and touched the granite on the city wall. Shi Tou was cold and rough.
"Why don't you dare?"
Xiao Lie looked around, with complex emotions in his eyes.
He has been stationed on this land for most of his life. Spirit City Ruins is not too far from his jurisdiction. He has been here several times. Every time he comes, he will feel an indescribable sense of depression.
"Boy Lin,"
He asked, "Have you ever felt that oppressive gaze? It's what I said before when I came here. It feels like something is watching you."
Lin Yaoyang Close your eyes and spread your mental power around.
Nothing.
He asked again in his mind, "Elder Electrolux, can you feel that something is watching us?"
Electrolux's voice sounded quickly, calm and calm. "No. Don't worry, little friend. If there is danger, I will remind you as soon as possible."
Lin Yaoyang opened his eyes and shook his head towards Xiao Lie.
"Uncle Xiao, I don't feel that kind of gaze."
Xiao Lie frowned slightly. "I don't have it now either, but it's not that uncle wants to lie to you. I did feel that way when I came here before."
"Is it so mysterious?"
Lin Yaoyang muttered in his heart.
Isn't it the remnant souls of Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong that are causing trouble?
Or is God King Tang secretly observing to prevent Qian Renxue from rising?
He shook his head and no longer thought about these things.
"Shall we go in and take a look?"
Xiao Lie nodded.
The two walked into the city gate.
The scene inside the city is even more desolate than outside the city.
The main street paved with bluestone is covered with moss and Blue Silver Grass, and in some places the grass is taller than people.
Most of the shops and houses on both sides have collapsed, leaving only the crooked door frames and half of the walls, which seem to silently tell the prosperity in front of Ten Thousand Years.
The two walked through the long streets and arrived at the foot of the hill in the center of the city.
The hill is not high, but it is enough to overlook the entire city.
Two stone steps extend from the bottom of the hill to the building on the top of the hill.
Xiao Lie walks in front.
"These three buildings, one is Pope Palace, one is Worship Hall, and one is Douluo Palace..."
"Of course, there is nothing now."
