This Purple Demon Eye is truly an eyesore

After returning to his luxurious mansion, Cen Yu locked the door, turned around, and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Mmm~ So comfortable~ Is this what the life of the wealthy is like?"

Come to think of it, the tournament starts tomorrow; I'm actually looking forward to it.

Ever since arriving in this world, this is the first time he's had dealings with the so-called protagonist group~

Hehe~ But the final winner can only be him.

Thinking this, Cen Yu walked into the courtyard, closed his eyes, and let his body fall backward.

"Mmm~ Time to sleep~"

In an instant, golden mist surged, and a massive lotus flower appeared, enveloping the youth's body.

Immediately after, countless Buddhist scriptures emerged from the void, circling the lotus in layers.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

It was the first round of the Grand Finals of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Academy Tournament.

In front of the Pope Palace, numerous academy teams gathered, waiting in their respective spectator areas for the draw to determine their opponents.

Before long, the results of the draw were out.

Just as in the original story from Cen Yu's memory, the Shrek team's first-round opponent was the Blazing Fire Academy.

The Blazing Fire Academy team voluntarily forfeited and merged with the Godwind Academy.

Soon, as the match between the Godwind Academy team and the Nightshade Academy team was about to begin, everyone saw the Godwind Academy lineup.

Seeing this, the Shrek group was shocked, completely unable to understand why the people from the Godwind Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy were appearing together.

After a while, Flender, who had gone to inquire about the situation, returned with a worried expression.

"Sigh... The organizing committee approved their personnel transfer; they exploited a loophole in the rules!"

"Although the competition rules state that participating academies cannot change members midway, this does not mean that students who have already registered cannot temporarily switch academies."

On a high platform in the distance, the dark-faced Cen Yu watched the grim-looking Shrek group with great interest.

After a night of cultivation, his spirit power had reached level twenty-three.

Although there was no difference from before, at least there was progress, right?

"It seems these people don't understand that on this continent, strength is everything."

"Even though registration ended long ago, I can still join the competition."

Hehe~ He was almost looking forward to seeing the despair on the faces of the Shrek group.

Hu Liena chuckled: "Look at that Tang San, he seems to have an expression of absolute certainty."

"I just wonder if he'll still be able to wear that expression the moment he suffers a crushing defeat?"

"Who knows? Maybe he'll be quite desperate, right?"

In the end, the Godwind Academy easily dispatched the Nightshade Academy.

The next day.

Cen Yu, who didn't want to wake up early, got up early anyway.

For no other reason than that today was a fated duel: Star Luo Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy. It would be a pity not to watch~

Yan looked at Cen Yu beside him in surprise: "Little junior, you're so sleepy, yet you still got up to watch the match?"

The youth yawned and said boredly: "It's so early, aren't you also here to observe Shrek, senior?"

"Why hasn't this match started yet? I already want to go back to sleep."

Tsk, these guys have been trash-talking for ages without actually fighting. Boring.

"Are Senior Sister and Xie Yue preparing for the upcoming battles? They didn't even come to watch."

Yan nodded: "Yes."

Suddenly, he became interested and pointed at Tang San below: "Look."

"Hmm?" Cen Yu opened his eyes, and after seeing clearly, he said with interest: "Oh? A ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring?"

"Not bad. It seems we're finally reaching the combat phase I enjoy."

Just then, the referee shouted: "I announce, Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy, the match begins!"

In an instant, Ning Rongrong and Oscar exchanged glances and simultaneously provided buffs to Tang San.

"Nine Treasures Famous—Third, Soul!"

"Fourth Spirit Ability—Exciting Pink Sausage!"

Receiving the buffs, Tang San raised his hand and waved it, and dark red Blue Silver Vine erupted from the ground around him.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun revealed a smile and rapidly launched a surprise attack on Tang San: "Second Soul Skill—Nether Hundred Claws!"

At the same time, her two support-type teammates also unleashed their soul skills to provide buffs, instantly elevating Zhu Zhuyun's speed by several levels.

As the battle progressed, Yan was still studying the moves of Shrek, while Cen Yu already wanted to go back to sleep.

This was too boring; the group from Star Luo was actually being skewered by Tang San with a piece of broken grass.

It was pointless with only Dai Weisi left, though it wasn't bad that he managed to injure that pheasant and the two support users.

Suddenly, Dai Weisi appeared from the mirror and struck straight at Tang San.

In Cen Yu's eyes, Tang San's eyes erupted with a burst of blue light, and Dai Weisi let out a miserable shriek, instantly falling back to the ground.

"Oh? A mental shock?"

Hearing this, Yan asked in confusion, "Little junior brother, you can actually see mental attacks?"

Cen Yu nodded as if it were a matter of course: "Of course, I am a genius, after all~"

However, this Purple Demon Eye of Tang San's was truly a nuisance; he had to find a way to deal with it, otherwise, mental shocks would be difficult to handle.

Just then, the voice of Bibi Dong echoed in Cen Yu's mind: "Come find me."

Oh? Is this telepathy?

Tsk tsk, mental power really is useful; speaking directly inside someone else's head is just too cool, isn't it?

Cen Yu stretched and said to Yan beside him, "Master is looking for me, I'm heading out, senior."

Bibi Dong looked down at Tang San below and said to the youth beside her, "It seems this Martial Soul of yours has truly granted you quite a few benefits."

"A Soul Grand Master, yet you can even see through the mental attack of a Soul Ancestor."

Hmm? Is this the preamble before she starts lecturing?

However, Cen Yu didn't expose her, instead curling the corners of his lips: "Perhaps I can even see through the methods of a Title Douluo?"

"I wonder who has such good luck to have a disciple as gifted, respectful, clever, sensible, well-read, gentle, and kind... as me."

"If I were her, I would give such a disciple all sorts of good things and rare cultivation resources!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's mouth twitched, and she felt some regret for her previous words.

She shouldn't have tried to trade barbs with this little rascal; she simply couldn't win.

"Enough, stop blathering. I'll give you the resources later. See if there's a way to suppress that brat down there."

"Suppress his eyes?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh."

Cen Yu closed his eyes and began searching his mind for a way to counter the Purple Demon Eye.

Logically speaking, with his strength, fighting Tang San directly would actually be fine.

But then again, that guy was a total schemer; what if he accidentally ended up with two holes poked in his body?

Suddenly, Cen Yu thought of a negative status effect that was particularly suitable for Tang San.

"Bewilderment"

That's right, he just needed to have his White Face apply this effect to Tang San.

So-called Bewilderment was actually a combination of the two negative states: confusion and absent-mindedness.

By directly nerfing Tang San's perception and mental power, what difference would it make whether the Purple Demon Eye was active or not?
