You All Have to Die!

Jiang Chen stood atop the platform before the hall. As the presenter for this Advanced Soul Master Tournament, he bestowed the highest honors upon the competing teams!

"Through everyone's hard work and struggle, this Advanced Soul Master Tournament has come to a successful conclusion. Next, on behalf of Wuhun Hall, I will present the rewards!"

"First place: Shrek Academy, representing the Heaven Dou Empire. They have won first place and will receive three Soul Bones!"

"Congratulations!"

"Second place: Martial Soul Academy. They will receive two Soul Bones!"

"Third place: Five Elements Academy. They will receive one Soul Bone!"

"..."

After handing out the rewards, Jiang Chen cleared his throat. "Ahem~ I should have delivered a closing speech and declared this tournament over, but an unexpected incident has occurred..."

"A hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast has infiltrated the competitors!"

"What?"

"A hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast? There must be some mistake, right?!"

"..."

At that moment, within Shrek Academy's team, Leng Ningxue and Tang San were tense, as though facing a formidable enemy!

"Teacher, how did it go?"

When Tang San saw Grandmaster Yu return, he hurriedly asked.

"Little San, it's taken care of. Where's the antidote?"

Tang San gave a sinister smile. "Teacher, when did I ever say there was an antidote?"

"Little San, you... you!"

Grandmaster Yu felt his blood surge. He had never expected his prized disciple to deceive him. Did that mean Bibi Dong was... doomed to die?!

Then he would be a murderer. If the truth came out, he would face endless pursuit!

"A hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast has infiltrated Shrek Academy. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

"Ning'er, run!"

Tang San anxiously shouted at Leng Ningxue as he stepped in front of her.

"Third Brother, take care!"

Just as Leng Ningxue was about to leave, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed. An invisible pressure crashed heavily onto Leng Ningxue, forcing her to her knees in an instant.

"Ning'er!"

"Wuhun Hall's Holy Son, you're courting death!"

The other members of the Shrek Six Monsters sensed that something was wrong. Their gazes all turned toward Jiang Chen, filled with hostility.

"Too noisy!"

With a wave of Jiang Chen's hand, Tang San was flung several meters away. He crashed heavily to the ground and spat out blood.

Boom—

An immense pressure pinned Tang San in place, leaving him utterly unable to move.

Just then, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky.

"Who dares hurt my son!"

A voice thundered through the heavens.

Immediately afterward, a gigantic hammer descended toward Jiang Chen. Before it could land, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared in the sky and struck toward the clouds in unison. A deafening boom erupted, and shockwaves swept through the area.

The dark clouds filling the sky instantly scattered, leaving only a slowly dispersing mist of blood behind.

Jiang Chen stared upward. Good lord, he had been beaten into ashes just like that?!

Tang San's eyes were filled with disbelief and pain. That voice from earlier had been familiar—it was clearly his father's. His father was dead?!

And there were more than five hundred Title Douluo in the sky. Since when had the continent possessed so many Title Douluo-level experts?!

"Tang San, that was your father just now, wasn't it? Heh... he overestimated himself!"

Tang San's eyes filled with despair.

The remaining four members of the Shrek Six Monsters, who had been preparing to step forward, froze where they stood, not daring to make the slightest move.

"You're Jiang Chen, the Holy Son of Wuhun Hall, right? I advise you to let us go. Otherwise, your master Bibi Dong will surely die!"

Grandmaster Yu stepped forward. At this point, this was his final trump card.

"Oh? I nearly forgot about you!"

"You dare threaten me? What nerve!"

Jiang Chen slowly raised one finger, and Grandmaster Yu instantly spat out blood. Enduring the pain, Grandmaster Yu gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Bibi Dong has already been poisoned with a deadly toxin. Only we have the antidote!"

Jiang Chen froze. When had they poisoned that cheap master of his?

Jiang Chen released his spiritual power, covering the entire Wuhun City. He saw Bibi Dong in the main hall, suffering terribly and struggling desperately. Rage erupted in his heart, and even his eyes turned scarlet.

The poison inside Bibi Dong's body carried the same aura as Leng Ningxue. That meant the poison had come from her!

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and seized Grandmaster Yu by the throat from afar. Veins bulged on Grandmaster Yu's forehead, and his face twisted in pain. Jiang Chen slowly tightened his grip. A series of cracks came from his throat, and his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets before he finally died unwillingly.

"Hmph. Letting you die like that was too merciful!"

"One day, when I stand at the pinnacle, I will revive you and make you endure endless torture!"

Jiang Chen then coldly looked at Leng Ningxue. "Hand over the antidote!"

Leng Ningxue felt an icy chill pierce her entire body. Panic flashed through her eyes. "Let me go, and I'll give you the antidote. Tang San and Grandmaster Yu poisoned her—it has nothing to do with me!"

Tang San was unwilling to accept it, but he no longer had the strength to speak. Wasn't it you who fucking told me to poison her?!

Leng Ningxue's panic could not escape Jiang Chen's eyes. He instantly understood that the poison had likely condensed from Leng Ningxue's true body. It was something a plant-type soul beast used to capture prey. It was harmless to her, so there was no antidote at all.

Jiang Chen laughed in extreme fury. "Hahaha, you all have to die!"

Jiang Chen's Zhuxian Sword slowly emerged. With one slash, Tang San could only watch helplessly as the blade cut into him, gradually slicing away his body. His consciousness remained clear as he endured unbearable pain, fear, and utter helplessness.

Tang San's body was ultimately annihilated, and even his divine soul completely dissipated.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to kill Leng Ningxue with a single strike, a system choice suddenly appeared.

Congratulations, host, for successfully triggering a system choice:

Choice One: Kill the hundred-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Grass transformed soul beast and use it as the seventh Soul Ring of the first Martial Soul. Reward: Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring!

Choice Two: Kill the hundred-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Grass transformed soul beast without absorbing its Soul Ring, allowing it to dissipate. Reward: a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring for the first Martial Soul.

"System, I choose one."

Congratulations, host, on making your choice. Reward: Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring.

Jiang Chen wanted to see what attributes a hundred-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Grass could provide for the Myriad-Form Azure Lotus.

"Then I'll spare your life for now!"

Jiang Chen turned his gaze toward the remaining four members of the Shrek Six Monsters. "As for you..."

"I am a prince of the Star Luo Empire. You dare touch me?!"

Dai Mubai looked at Jiang Chen proudly, as though saying that if Jiang Chen dared touch him, he would have to face the wrath of the Star Luo Empire.

"The Star Luo Empire will soon be destroyed as well!"

Jiang Chen slashed out with his sword, and Dai Mubai died with an incredulous expression.

"Oscar, follow me. I'll give you a chance to become strong!"

Oscar was overcome with emotion. "I am willing to follow you."

"As for you, Ma Hongjun, just die. You're no good either!"

Ma Hongjun was unwilling to accept it. I fucking didn't do anything. What reason do you have to kill me?!
