You All Have to Die!

Jiang Chen stood on the high platform in front of the grand hall, acting as the award presenter for this Advanced Soul Master Tournament to bestow the highest glory upon the competing teams!

This Advanced Soul Master Tournament has achieved complete success thanks to the hard work and struggle of everyone here. Next, on behalf of Wuhun Hall, I shall present the rewards!

In first place, representing the Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy wins first place and is rewarded with three soul bones!

Congratulations!

In second place, Martial Soul Academy, rewarded with two soul bones!

In third place, Five Elements Academy, rewarded with one soul bone!

After finishing the presentation of the rewards, Jiang Chen cleared his throat. "Ahem~ Originally, I was supposed to give a speech declaring this tournament officially concluded, but a little twist occurred in the middle..."

"Among the participating members, a one-hundred-thousand-year-old shaped soul beast has sneaked in!"

"What?"

"A one-hundred-thousand-year-old shaped soul beast? There can't be a mistake, right?!"

Right at this moment, within the ranks of Shrek Academy, Leng Ningxue and Tang San wore tense expressions, facing a formidable enemy!

"Teacher, how did things go?"

Seeing Grandmaster Yu return, Tang San hurriedly asked.

"Little San, everything has been taken care of. Where is the antidote?"

Tang San smiled seductively. "Teacher, when did I ever say there was an antidote?"

"Little San, you... you!"

Grandmaster Yu only felt his blood and vital energy surging wildly. He never expected that his proud disciple would actually deceive him. Wasn't Bibi Dong then... practically facing certain death?!

Then he himself would be a murderer. If the matter were exposed, he would face endless pursuit and assassination!

"A one-hundred-thousand-year-old shaped soul beast has sneaked into Shrek Academy. What on earth is your purpose?!"

"Ning'er, run!"

Tang San shouted anxiously toward Leng Ningxue while stepping forward to block the way.

"Third Brother, then take care!"

Leng Ningxue just wanted to leave when Jiang Chen's gaze narrowed. An invisible pressure smashed heavily down onto Leng Ningxue, causing her both knees to instantly buckle and hit the ground.

"Ning'er!"

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

The other members of the Shrek Six Monsters noticed the anomaly, their gazes turning in unison toward Jiang Chen, filled with hostility.

"Noisy!"

Jiang Chen waved a hand, and Tang San was sent flying several meters away, smashing heavily onto the ground and vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

Boom--

An imposing, majestic pressure left Tang San completely unable to budge an inch.

Right at that moment, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky.

"Who dares hurt my son!"

A voice resounded through the firmaments.

Immediately following that, a giant-sized hammer descended toward Jiang Chen. Before even a single moment could pass, hundreds of figures within the arena instantly appeared in the sky, striking out in unison toward the cloud layer. A massive roaring sound echoed out, and shockwaves swept across the area.

The all-encompassing dark clouds instantly dissipated into nothingness, leaving behind only gradually dispersing bloody mist in the sky.

Jiang Chen took one look and thought, Good grief, they were beaten straight into ashes?!

Tang San's gaze was filled with utter disbelief and anguish. That voice just now was very familiar—that was clearly his father! His father was dead?!

And what about the over five hundred Title Douluos in the sky? Since when did the continent have so many Title Douluo-level powerhouses?!

"Tang San, that was your father just now, wasn't it? Heh... overestimating your own abilities!"

Tang San's eyes were filled with despair.

The remaining four members of the Shrek Six Monsters, who had originally wanted to step forward, were all frozen in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

"Holy Son Jiang Chen of Wuhun Hall, right? I advise you to let us leave, otherwise your master Bibi Dong will surely die!"

Grandmaster Yu stepped forward; matters having reached this point, this was his last trump card.

"Oh? I almost forgot about you!"

"You dare threaten me, you have some truly colossal nerve!"

Jiang Chen slowly extended a single finger, and Grandmaster Yu instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. Enduring the pain, Grandmaster Yu gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Bibi Dong has already been poisoned with a lethal toxin, only we possess the antidote!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen froze. When the hell did you poison that cheap master of mine?

Jiang Chen released his spiritual power, covering the entire Wuhun City. He saw Bibi Dong suffering terribly and struggling desperately inside the grand hall, and his inner fury erupted, his eyes turning scarlet.

The toxins inside Bibi Dong's body shared the exact same aura as the one on Leng Ningxue. That meant the poison came from her!

Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed Grandmaster Yu by the neck from afar. The veins on Grandmaster Yu's forehead bulged, his expression pained. Jiang Chen applied pressure bit by bit, a series of cracking noises came from Yu's throat, and his eyes almost popped out before he finally died in lingering resentment.

"Hmph, dying just like that is letting you off easy!"

"If one day I ascend to the supreme heights, I will definitely resurrect you and make you endure endless torture!"

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

Leng Ningxue only felt a bone-chilling cold throughout her body, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. "Let me go and I'll give you the antidote! The poison was administered by Tang San and Grandmaster Yu, it has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing this, Tang San felt pure resentment in his heart, but at this moment he no longer had the strength to speak. Didn't you damn well yell at me to go poison her?!

Leng Ningxue's panic could not escape Jiang Chen's eyes. Jiang Chen instantly understood that it was very likely toxin condensed from Leng Ningxue's true form. This was used by plant-type soul beasts to catch prey, completely harmless to herself, which meant there was no antidote at all.

Jiang Chen laughed out of extreme anger. "Hahaha, you all have to die!"

Jiang Chen's Zhuxian Sword slowly materialized. With a single sword slash, Tang San watched with his own eyes as the blade cut toward him, slicing away his body piece by piece while leaving his consciousness crystal clear. It was excruciatingly painful, terrifying, yet entirely helpless.

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

Jiang Chen was just about to kill Leng Ningxue with a single sword strike when a system choice suddenly appeared.

Congratulate Host on successfully triggering a system choice:
Choice 1: Kill the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty Grass shaped soul beast to serve as the seventh soul ring for your first martial soul, rewarding a Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring!
Choice 2: Kill the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty Grass shaped soul beast without absorbing its soul ring, letting it dissipate naturally, rewarding a one-hundred-thousand-year-old first soul ring.

System, I choose one.

Congratulate Host for making a choice, rewarding a Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring.

Jiang Chen wanted to see what kind of attributes a single one-hundred-thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty Grass could provide to the Myriad-Form Azure Lotus.

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

Jiang Chen's gaze shifted to the remaining four members of the Shrek Six Monsters. "As for you lot..."

"I am the prince of the Star Luo Empire, you dare touch me?!"

Dai Mubai looked proudly at Jiang Chen, his expression seemingly saying that if Jiang Chen dared touch him, he should brace himself for the wrath of the Star Luo Empire.

"The Star Luo Empire is about to perish too!"

Jiang Chen slashed out with a sword, and Dai Mubai died in utter disbelief.

"Oscar, follow me, and I will give you a chance to become a powerhouse!"

Oscar's expression surged with emotion. "I am willing to follow you."

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

Ma Hongjun felt unresigned in his heart. I damn well didn't do anything, what reason do you have to kill me?!
