Can He Still Be Trusted? The Vast Sea Universe Crystal!

"I've been fooled!"

Dai Tianling stared at the competition stage, her eyes wide with anger as Tong Yu walked step by step towards Jiang Xiu.

Tong Yu's performance at this moment is completely different from Zhang Geyang's performance just now!

Looking at it this way, Zhang Geyang is practically a loyal subject of the Empire!

However, at this moment, Dai Tianling's heart was also in turmoil, because this Five Gods Duel was related to the fate of his Star Luo Empire!

"Jiang Xiu has brought up the thing Tong Yu least wanted to face!"

En Ci above also frowned. Tong Yu had been in seclusion at the Monster Academy for thirty-seven years, trying to resolve his inner conflict, but it was clear that Tong Yu had not succeeded in doing so all these years.

"However, Jiang Xiu's Divine Power is actually so formidable!"

In the next instant, En Ci's gaze shifted rapidly.

When the Body Sect attacked Shrek Academy last time, he personally witnessed Jiang Xiu break through to the Spirit Domain Realm. But he didn't expect that not long after, Jiang Xiu's Divine Power would be able to suppress Tong Yu, a veteran Limit Douluo!

At the same time, the entire audience erupted in chaos.

"Is Tong Yu probably throwing the match?"

"How could the Empire choose someone like this to fight? They should send an indomitable and powerful figure like Tower Master!"

"Fraudulent match! Refund! Refund!!!"

"Could it be that Jiang Xiu is too strong...?"

The people of the Star Luo Empire in the audience roared indignantly.

But at this moment, Tong Yu was already deeply immersed in the illusion, walking haltingly towards the Abyss behind Jiang Xiu, his eyes filled with a sense of relief and liberation.

Years ago, after drinking pesticide and transforming his Earth Dog Martial Soul into Five Elements Qilin, he ran away from home to study at the Monster Academy in order to prove himself to that woman.

Due to the transformation of his Martial Soul, his cultivation speed also became extremely fast. In just ten years, his cultivation level approached the Titled Douluo realm that countless Soul Master dreamed of!

But when he returned home, he found his mother lying alone on the bed with her legs broken, waiting for his return. The person who broke his mother's legs was the girl he had once admired.

In a fit of rage, he killed the entire family of the married young woman, leaving only one child alive.

Over the years, he felt deeply ashamed whenever he recalled the massacre of the girl's family, and since then, he has hidden deep within the Monster Academy.

"Seeing you, I can finally feel free..."

Tong Yu quickened his pace, his eyes fixed on the figure in the crevice of the Abyss, and murmured to himself.

"Don't want!"

Seeing this, Dai Tianling gripped the armrests of the Gilded Chair tightly with both hands, her heart filled with indignation.

Tong Yu is free, but what about his Star Luo Empire?

Dai Tianling wanted to curse Tong Yu angrily at that moment.

"Pah! How could you be so selfish!"

But Dai Tianling could only watch Tong Yu helplessly, unable to do anything about it.

En Ci also sighed and shook his head. He had miscalculated; he hadn't expected Jiang Xiu to have such a Soul Skill that targeted the mind.

"Alas, Heaven, how cruel is the Star Luo Empire!"

En Ci sighed inwardly, "If Jiang Xiu wins this round, it means that the final match of the Five Gods Duel will be against him."

If he loses too... then the Star Luo Empire will disappear from the Douluo Continent forever!

"No! Absolutely impossible! How could I, an old man, lose to a mere youth Jiang Xiu!"

While En Ci, Tong Yu had already arrived beside Jiang Xiu, preparing to step past Jiang Xiu and walk into the Abyss crevice.

And at that moment, a five-colored halo of the five elements began to emanate from Tong Yu's body, and a rich Divine Power surged out instantly, then began to burn rapidly, gathering into clear scenes in mid-air.

"Mental Projection!"

"Tong Yu is... is Limit Douluo?!"

Upon seeing this, many Soul Master exclaimed in surprise, for the manifestation of spirit is the hallmark of Limit Douluo!

"What's wrong with Tong Yu?!"

Dai Tianling's teeth were practically grinding to powder. The mental imagery was the memory presentation that the Limit Douluo displayed at the moment of his death!

What exactly is Tong Yu up to?!

"How could it come to this? How could it come to this!"

Looking at her student, En Ci's gaze was extremely complicated, but in the end, the bond between teacher and student prevailed, and she secretly transmitted a message to Jiang Xiu.

Upon hearing this telepathic message, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"Is Tong Yu an idiot?"

The Ghost Emperor was watching from the shadows, raised an eyebrow. He had heard about Tong Yu's story back then. He had felt guilty for the rest of his life because of a woman, who was even the Ferocious Beast had harmed Tong Yu's mother.

"Still not strong enough, too concerned with saving face." The Ghost Emperor sneered disdainfully.

In his view, even Grandmaster was less than level 30 but had already surpassed 50 years old could still live 20,000 years ago.

It's unbelievable that Tong Yu, now Limit Douluo demigod, would choose to die because of guilt.

"But that's fine too. If Jiang Xiu wins this match, after I kill Jiang Xiu, I can better frame the Star Luo Empire. Hehehe..."

The Ghost Emperor's eyes gleamed with madness, and he inwardly chuckled.

Then it will be Five Gods Duel, Jiang Xiu will die suddenly in secret, the Star Luo Empire will take the blame, the Federation and the Star Luo Empire will fight a war, and he will secretly collect blood and souls.

How pleasant it sounds!

For some reason, Dai Tianling, who was in the lead position, suddenly had a bad feeling. Could something worse happen to him than losing this game?

But just as Tong Yu was about to cross Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu reached out and patted Tong Yu's shoulder, his voice soft and gentle.

"Qilin His/Her Excellency, in these thirty-seven years of guilt, has not a single thing been about your mother?"

"You need to understand that during the ten years you were gone, the person who most longed for your return was none other than your mother."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yu abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Just then, the illusion within the Abyss suddenly changed, and a simply dressed woman appeared, looking at Tong Yu with kindness.

The woman's mere presence was enough to make Tong Yu tremble.

Because this is exactly what his mother looked like before he left home to go to the Monster Academy.

The next moment, Tong Yu staggered towards the Abyss crevice, his eyes filled with panic and regret, and he kept growling.

"Mom!"

"Mom, you're still alive? I'm so sorry! No, no, no! Where am I? My mom is dead!"

"Mom! I can't tell! I really can't tell!"

Tong Yu covered his head, staring at the woman, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Tong Yu, eat well. Mom doesn't expect you to become a powerful Soul Master, Mom just wants you to live a good life..."

In the illusion, the woman whispered lovingly to Tong Yu, her eyes filled with affection.

"Mom, don't go! Don't go!"

As he watched his mother's figure gradually disappear, Tong Yu began to panic, his hands flailing wildly, but he couldn't grab anything.

"Live well, okay?" The woman looked at Tong Yu with loving eyes even as she died.

"Okay! I won't die, I won't die! Mom, don't disappear, don't go!"

As he watched his mother's figure completely disappear, Tong Yu turned bloodshot.

Seeing Tong Yu's appearance, a gray aura surged from between Jiang Xiu's brows, suddenly enveloping Tong Yu.

"I said, stop burning!"

As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, the surging Divine Power emanating from Tong Yu instantly stopped, and the burning mental image gradually dissipated.

Looking at Tong Yu, who had been spared, Jiang Xiu's lips curled slightly. He hadn't wanted to save Tong Yu, but En Ci had just made a deal with him.

In Jiang Xiu's view, that deal was far more valuable than Tong Yu, a Limit Douluo.

Seeing that Tong Yu was unharmed, En Ci immediately landed on the arena, her Soul Power carrying her voice as she announced:

"Jiang Xiu wins the fourth match of the Five Gods Duel!"

As soon as En Ci finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted throughout the arena, and countless people from the Star Luo Empire rose to their feet to cheer for Jiang Xiu.

The Five Gods Duel, and Jiang Xiu won four consecutive matches. This was enough to make the people of the Star Luo Empire cheer for Jiang Xiu!

"Jiang Xiu, thank you." En Ci said earnestly to Jiang Xiu, pulling on the somewhat agitated Tong Yu.

Jiang Xiu waved his hand, saying meaningfully, "It's alright. I hope En Ci Enci won't forget our agreement."

"I will never forget it." A resolute glint flashed in En Ci's aged, deep eyes.

Immediately afterwards, En Ci led Tong Yu away from the competition stage.

Jiang Xiu shook his head and smiled slightly, his gaze subtly drifting to a spot in the audience before strolling down towards the stands.

Today, some irresistible guys will be coming to deliver the goods themselves, so he should get ready.

In the shadows, the Ghost Emperor watched Jiang Xiu's retreating figure with a mixture of emotions, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"To possess such strength at such a young age, I will never allow such a talented Soul Master to exist on my path to godhood. Therefore, you must die today!"

The next moment, the Ghost Emperor secretly spoke to Zhang Geyang.

Zhang Geyang glanced back at the Ghost Emperor, nodded slightly, and then quietly left the Star Luo Stadium.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost Emperor's lips curled into a wild smile.

He had made thorough preparations for this scheme, and Jiang Xiu was now in no position to escape!

In the audience, Dai Yueyan asked Long Yue beside her with some concern, "Do you think our Star Luo Empire should be able to win the Five Gods Duel?"

"That's for sure!" Long Yue said without hesitation, his eyes filled with determination. "Tomorrow is the day our teacher will fight, and Jiang Xiu has absolutely no chance of winning!"

"Trust the State Preceptor, trust the teacher!"

Dai Tianling sat in the head seat and remained silent for Jiujiu.

Can we really believe it?

Shrek Academy.

The Sea God Pavilion Master.

Chen Xinjie looked at Long Yeyue with some confusion. "Yue'er, why did you come to see me so mysteriously today?"

Long Yeyue remained silent, but simply raised her hand to set up a Soul Power barrier around her, and then slowly took out something wrapped in black cloth.

The moment the item was taken out, Chen Xinjie's pupils dilated in shock. He was astonished to find that his Martial Soul had been activated by the item!

"What... what is this?" Chen Xinjie asked, his throat tightening as he looked at the item.

Long Yeyue smiled mysteriously, slowly unveiling the black cloth that blocked detection, and said, word by word:

"This area has been under the jurisdiction of the successive Sea God Pavilion Master of the Shrek Academy..."

"Vast Sea Universe Crystal!"
