Death Battle Soul Douluo

After the match ended, the Royal Fight Team had won. What should have been a time of celebration instead became a state of emergency for everyone.

Tang San in particular.

The appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer immediately made everyone realize that this was no simple matter.

At the same time, an unknown woman had nearly killed Tang San. If this forced out the Clear Sky Sect, the consequences would be terrifying.

The owner of the Heaven Dou City Soul Arena decided that saving the injured came first.

When the medical staff moved to treat Retsu Unohana, the severely injured woman actually stood up!

Aside from being covered in blood, she appeared to be perfectly fine.

The rescuers who had entered were left dumbfounded.

Retsu Unohana casually threw away her bloodstained outer garment, snatched a white towel from one of the medical staff, and slowly wiped the blood from her body clean. She then tossed it aside and walked out.

That retreating figure sent chills down everyone's spine.

After such a fierce battle, she could stand again so quickly. And they said she was an auxiliary.

Terrifying healing ability!

Tang San, on the other hand, had stopped bleeding, but his wounds had not healed. His face was deathly pale and his whole body was cold. If his eyes had not still been moving, the medical staff would have thought he was already dead.

After the auxiliary Soul Masters at the scene finished the emergency treatment, they sent him into the Emergency Room for further treatment.

The people from Shrek Academy who had accompanied him also hurried over to visit Tang San.

In the infirmary of the Heaven Dou City Soul Arena, four people from Shrek Academy were lying down to recover from their injuries. The only ones still able to stand were Kenpachi Zaraki, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar were auxiliaries, so they had not resisted and were not injured. Kenpachi Zaraki had only suffered minor injuries, while Ma Hongjun had not been injured at all. He had not dared to make a move from beginning to end. Kyōraku Shunsui's Shadow Blade had been far too terrifying.

If his firelight had cast shadows, Tang San and the others might have died on the spot.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the utterly defeated Shrek group with concern. He had originally wanted to temper them, but he had never expected such an outcome.

Even Tang San had been forced to reveal his Clear Sky Hammer. It was clear just how powerful the woman named Retsu Unohana was, and how intense her killing intent had been.

"Frank, now I understand why you said she was different. Her exquisite swordsmanship, her grasp of timing, her utter lack of fear toward death, her enjoyment of battle... In her hands, healing arts are merely tools that allow her to keep fighting," Yu Xiaogang sighed as he spoke to Frank.

Frank's expression darkened, his heart aching. It was not merely because he had lost money, but because he was looking at his severely injured students lying in those beds. They were all precious to him.

"Now you understand, right? Retsu Unohana isn't normal at all. On the day we recruited her, it was at the Soul Arena. Do you know what kind of record she had then? She fought two hundred and seventy-two matches without losing a single one. Seventeen of those were draws, and that was only because her opponents had more than ten levels of Soul Power over her and possessed unusual martial souls. Of the matches she won, she killed two hundred and nineteen people on the spot. She never gave them a chance to surrender; she killed them outright. The fact that Little San is still alive is already fortunate."

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth tightly, his fists clenched. Unwillingness and guilt churned within him.

If only he had not accepted this match. When he first saw the Royal Fight Team, he had already felt danger. Although the Royal Fight Team had one loss while the Shrek Team had never been defeated, making it seem as though he had the advantage, the other side had even added an auxiliary after accepting the challenge. Yu Xiaogang had not cared. He had even thought that the Royal Fight Team would be weaker after adding an auxiliary, since their roles would overlap.

But the result filled him with grief.

That seemingly inconspicuous auxiliary had actually been the true powerhouse. With the blade in her hand and her incredible recovery ability, she defeated three people in a row.

At the time, Kenpachi Zaraki had also been tied down by Shihouin Yoruichi, who had switched from an agility attack role to a power attack role, leaving him unable to break free.

Ma Hongjun had been unable to provide support as well. Those floating flying blades threatened his life every moment.

Perhaps this match had been doomed to defeat from the very beginning.

The result of the Soul Arena match quickly spread throughout Heaven Dou City. Heaven Dou Royal Academy even offered countless benefits in hopes that Retsu Unohana would join them, only to be immediately rejected. Instead, she entered the Central Spirit Arts Academy.

At once, the Central Spirit Arts Academy entered everyone's sight.

This Advanced Soul Master Academy, with Dugu Bo as its headmaster, had only a few dozen students so far, most of whom were exchange students from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Before long, the powers of Heaven Dou City uncovered the academy's true controller.

Aizen!

Four soul rings, yet he seemed to have used only two Soul Ring Skills: one ice, one fire.

Beyond that, he could also use self-created soul skills known as Kido.

It was because of this that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had funded Aizen's construction of the academy.

At present, the Central Spirit Arts Academy had only around ten true students.

And observant people noticed that they all came from the Soul Reaper Battle Team of the Heaven Dou City Soul Arena.

So far, the Soul Reaper Battle Team had never been defeated, and fighting them meant risking one's life.

Yet there were still people willing to challenge such a team, all for the Victory Fund established for the Soul Reaper Battle Team by the Heaven Dou City Soul Arena, which had exceeded one million Gold Soul Coins.

Ever since the Soul Reaper Battle Team began its run, the Heaven Dou City Soul Arena had put two percent of its profits from each victory into this fund.

By now, it had accumulated 1.12 million Gold Soul Coins.

Whoever could defeat the Soul Reaper Battle Team would receive the entire fund!

Men died for wealth, birds died for food.

Faced with such enormous profits, Soul Masters challenged the Soul Reaper Battle Team one after another without regard for their lives.

Aizen was pleased to see this and even issued an announcement.

He would accept challenges from multi-person teams around Level 50, as well as individual Soul Saints and Soul Douluos above Level 70!

For a time, countless impoverished high-level Soul Masters signed up.

Just three days later, an Level 81 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master would challenge the Soul Reaper Battle Team in Heaven Dou City. Life and death would be left to fate.

Because the Soul Reaper Battle Team's identities had long ceased to be secret after the founding of the Central Spirit Arts Academy.

Thus, Aizen also released the roster of Soul Reaper Battle Team members taking the field. These were the updated results confirmed by Spirit Hall.

Aizen, Level 51, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Yamamoto Shigekuni, Level 50, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Ichimaru Gin, Level 49, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Kurosaki Ichigo, Level 47, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Ulquiorra, Level 48, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Grimmjow, Level 45, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Urahara Kisuke, Level 49, auxiliary Weapon Soul Master.

Because Spirit Hall's tests for Aizen and Yamamoto had been conducted consecutively, Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu to influence the examiner.

He concealed most of his own strength, while its lingering effect concealed a small portion of Yamamoto Shigekuni's strength.

Everyone else revealed their current levels before Spirit Hall.

And this truth truly left everyone astonished.

They were all thirteen or fourteen years old, yet every one of them had reached above Level 40, with some even reaching Level 50.

They were not much worse than the Shrek Team.

However, Aizen, sitting in his office and reading the newspaper, merely smiled faintly.

"Do you think everything you see is real?"

When Aizen summoned them, he had sealed away a large part of their strength. The purpose was to prevent their levels from rising too quickly and drawing Spirit Hall's attention.

After all, the Soul Power obtained from acquiring souls after killing Soul Masters was the foundation of their growth. Aizen had stored that portion of Soul Power in another form.

It would only be released when they could contend with Spirit Hall, the Seven Great Sects, and the Two Great Empires.

And that day, surely, would not be far away.
