Dai Tianling: Why Did I Feel Like Someone Was Playing Me?

"Cough cough..."

"This Tower Master has failed the Star Luo Empire..."

Zhang Geyang coughed twice, looking at En Ci with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Tower Master Zhang. My disciple will deal with Jiang Xiu next. You should go down and restore the Soul Spirit first," En Ci comforted him.

Nowadays, there aren't many people like Zhang Geyang who take the glory of the empire as their own responsibility.

Zhang Geyang glanced at Jiang Xiu almost imperceptibly, and seeing Jiang Xiu nod slightly, he left with a resentful remark:

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a poor middle-aged man! This Tower Master will definitely return!"

After saying that, Zhang Geyang turned and walked off the stage.

"Clap clap clap!" At this moment, enthusiastic applause erupted from the surrounding audience seats.

Zhang Geyang's unwavering performance has won them over and makes him worthy of their trust.

"In the third match, a battle of Soul Spirit, Jiang Xiu wins!"

As Zhang Geyang left, En Ci gave Jiang Xiu a complicated look and announced the result.

He originally thought Jiang Xiu wouldn't even be able to pass the first match of the Five Gods Duel, but who knew that Jiang Xiu would win all the way with an almost crushing victory.

But Jiang Xiu's winning streak will be completely ended from now on.

Because the next one to appear is Tong Yu, the Qilin Douluo, who can be described as being blessed by the heavens!

"Jiang Xiu! Jiang Xiu! Jiang Xiu!"

As En Ci finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted from the surrounding stands. Many people from the Star Luo Empire had come here specifically to witness Jiang Xiu's prowess, as they had come from yesterday's duel.

Seeing Jiang Xiu win now, I naturally cheer from the bottom of my heart.

"Is Jiang Xiu really that invincible? Do I even have a chance to defeat him in my lifetime?"

Long Yue sat in the audience, clenching his fists tightly. He felt as if he could no longer see Jiang Xiu's back.

After a short rest, En Ci's voice rang out again.

"Next, we will proceed with the fourth round of the Five Gods Duel, a duel of Soul Skill!"

"Please welcome Qilin Douluo Tongyu and Federal Congressman Jiang Xiu to the stage!"

Jiang Xiu stood on the platform, gazing at the figure in black robes who was taking the stage on the opposite platform.

"Tong Yu? A lucky guy whose Earth Dog Martial Soul transformed into Qilin, but also Limit Douluo living a life filled with guilt." Jiang Xiu thought to himself.

It is important to know that the mutation of Martial Soul is extremely difficult, especially the transformation from a low-quality Martial Soul to a top-tier Martial Soul.

But when Tong Yu drank a bottle of pesticide, he woke up to find Qilin transformed from Earth Dog into a Qilin, which was even more difficult than having Pig Martial Soul appear within True Dragon Martial Soul.

"It was him! That serial killer from back then!"

"He's still alive and can even represent the Empire in battle? Does he even deserve it?"

"What is his current cultivation level? Can he defeat Jiang Xiu?"

Upon seeing Tong Yu appear, many people recognized him as the Qilin Douluo who had slaughtered an entire family years ago, and the entire Star Luo Stadium instantly became noisy.

But aside from his identity as a serial killer, most people were discussing Tong Yu's current cultivation level, and without even realizing it themselves, they had somehow lumped Tong Yu into the role of a challenger...

"With Tong Yu, the Limit Douluo, here, I believe Jiang Xiu will be utterly defeated today!" Dai Tianling quietly watched Tong Yu on the field.

Tong Yu is not only Limit Douluo, but also someone his teacher En Ci can command, so this time we can definitely trust him!

At that moment, En Ci also looked over as if by some strange twist of fate.

When their eyes met, En Ci and Dai Tianling nodded simultaneously.

Believe in Tong Yu! Believe in the Star Luo Empire!

"The duel begins!"

As Jiang Xiu and Tong Yu took their places, En Ci announced the start without hesitation.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As an Intangibility ripple spread, Tong Yu's black robe slowly and instantly fell off, revealing a face with multicolored scales and a slightly ferocious appearance.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Yu took a step forward, and a blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring instantly rose up. Tong Yu's First Soul Ring was actually Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

In just a moment, the noise in the entire audience area vanished.

In the Star Luo Empire, a nation that reveres heroism, strength is enough to solve most problems.

"Jiang Xiu, I have no intention of being your enemy, but I also have my reasons for needing to win."

Tong Yu raised his red and blue eyes and looked calmly at Jiang Xiu, "In this battle, we not only have a winner and a loser, but also..."

Tong Yu didn't say the last two words directly, but his eyes clearly showed a sense of relief and liberation.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, Tong Yu suddenly stepped forward, nine blood-red Soul Ring swirling around him. His Second Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and countless colorful Qilin scales instantly covered Tong Yu's right arm, carrying the power of the five elements as he blasted towards Jiang Xiu.

"Evil God Transformation!"

Jiang Xiu traced a line between his brows with his fingertips, a sharp gray light appearing in his Blood Pupil. His fourth Soul Ring lit up instantly, and streams of black energy spread outwards. Evil and majestic demonic runes appeared, his muscles bulged like mountains, and his aura suddenly surged.

"Boom!"

The next instant, the two terrifying figures collided with a deafening roar. The power of the five elements and the power of darkness clashed and tore each other apart, and the clanging of their fists sounded like the clash of metal.

"You actually have such formidable combat power at such a young age!" Tong Yu frowned, looking at Jiang Xiu with disbelief.

Although this round is a contest of Soul Skill, he is a powerhouse at the Limit Douluo level!

Whether it's the depth of his Soul Power or his control over techniques, he should far surpass Jiang Xiu. But now, Jiang Xiu can not only withstand his attacks, but also counterattack!

"Five Elements Grip! Five Elements Divine Thunder!"

The Soul Ring flashed again, and Tong Yu raised his right hand. A fist shadow, tens of feet long and composed of the five elements, suddenly tore through space and slammed down towards Jiang Xiu.

At the same time, colorful auspicious clouds gathered in the sky, and bolts of divine lightning with the attributes of the five elements struck Jiang Xiu madly.

"Your attack wasn't fast enough, and it wasn't ruthless enough!"

Jiang Xiu's Blood Pupil flashed with a chilling light, and the Evil God's Wing appeared on his back, instantly forming an extreme gray barrier that protected Jiang Xiu.

At the same time, as a black, mystical raven phantom streaked past, three black and red phantoms resembling windmills suddenly appeared in Jiang Xiu's eyes, radiating a captivating light.

In an instant, a huge black rift opened up in the space behind Jiang Xiu, as deep as an endless Abyss.

"What is this?" Tong Yu suddenly had a bad feeling and cautiously watched the scene.

"Tong Yu, what are you hiding from?"

Jiang Xiu's voice rang out, and in the instant Tong Yu looked over, he only saw three windmill phantoms spinning rapidly in Jiang Xiu's Blood Pupil!

Immediately afterwards, he saw a scarlet vertical pupil emerge from the Abyss behind Jiang Xiu, staring at him with a cold and crazed gaze!

"The Five Elements Rotation!"

Alarm bells rang in Tong Yu's mind, and his Eighth Soul Ring lit up instantly. With a shake of Tong Yu arms, five Qilin of different attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—flew out, and an ancient Five Elements Domain instantly spread outwards.

The Qilin Five Elements Rotation is his strongest domain Soul Skill. It not only possesses the power of the five elements but also incorporates Divine Power, making it a combination of Soul Power and Divine Power.

"It's too late."

Just as the Boundless Cycle Domain was spreading, Jiang Xiu's calm voice rang out.

Before Tong Yu could react, a layer of blood-red light spread out from Jiang Xiu's body with the force of thunder.

"Time Stop!"

With a low shout from Jiang Xiu, eight gilded, blood-red clocks instantly materialized from the space. As the second hand stopped moving, everything around them froze at that moment!

While Tong Yu remained still, his gaze met the Abyss phantom behind Jiang Xiu.

At that very moment, Abyss appeared in the abyss—a figure that Tong Yu had longed for but dared not face in his youth.

"May you forever be trapped in the illusion of the Shadow Mockery Abyss!"

Jiang Xiu's lips curled slightly; he knew very well what Tong Yu wanted to face but dared not.

With his current Divine Power at the Spirit Domain Realm level, and with the aid of Time Stop, he could easily pull Tong Yu, who was also at the Spirit Domain Realm, into an illusion.

"Snap!" With a crisp snap of Jiang Xiu's fingers, Time Stop and resumed instantly.

"What just happened?" Dai Tianling was suddenly in a daze for some reason.

But when he looked at the competition stage again, he was completely stunned.

The Five Elements Rotation technique that Tong Yu had been using had suddenly vanished!

Tong Yu himself looked struggled and bewildered as he walked step by step toward the Abyss- like phantom behind Jiang Xiu, while Jiang Xiu Tong Yu him quietly.

"No! No! What happened? Tong Yu, what are you doing?!"

Watching Tong Yu shout things like, "I'm willing to give my life to save you," "Resurrect," and "I'm willing to atone for my sins"...

At that moment, an ominous premonition arose in Dai Tianling's heart.

Zhang Geyang just fought so hard, he was the glory of the empire, but now Tong Yu is trapped so easily.

Why did he feel like he was being played by Tong Yu?
