"I see everyone's here. Can we start the competition now? Let's end this farce as soon as possible and let all the Soul Master Soul Master in the world see just how outstanding the children trained by the so-called Spirit Hall are!" A nobleman who had been pushed forward to act as a scapegoat suddenly spoke up. This was tantamount to the Imperial Family family truly tearing off their mask first. When this battle ended, Heaven Dou Empire's imperial edict to eliminate the Spirit Hall was righteous and justifiable, then their mask would be torn to shreds, along with their veins and bones.
"What does the Spirit Hall think?" Xue Can asked, still seated on the throne, her smile as cunning as a tiger.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue didn't look up or say anything.
The pressure on the group of underage Spirit Soul Master Spirit Hall increased dramatically, like sheep entering a wolf pen. Even though they came from the most powerful Spirit Hall in the entire continent, the sheep had no way to cope.
The more the two tried to stall for time, the calmer Xue Can became.
The young emperor, who had sat on the throne for four years, rose, strolled across the high platform, and spoke with an undeniable tone, "Then, let the curtain rise!"
A figure darted towards the lower platform first. Even though she was wearing a dark green, filthy school uniform, it couldn't hide her impressive figure. She walked with long, slender legs, and a ponytail that fell from the back of her head hung down beside her slender waist.
Now about 1.7 meters tall, Xiao Wu, shedding her childishness. Her eyebrows are raised in a lively and spirited manner, exuding both arrogance and a hint of cunning. Her pink, crystal-like eyes unintentionally reveal a subtle yet alluring charm.
The moment the girl appeared, the place fell completely silent.
"Bring someone who can handle things up here, so that Sister Xiao Wu won't have to pay for medical expenses again. It's really troublesome to create trouble out of thin air." Xiao Wu, with her hands on her slender waist, scanned the group of young people from the Spirit Hall.
The moment they were met with that direct, provocative gaze, a few boys lowered their heads shyly, their genders seemingly reversed, causing Hu Liena to frown.
" Ao Lin, you go." Xie Yue looked at a resolute-looking young man, who took a step the moment he received the signal, his composure tinged with excitement.
"I'd be more than happy to!" Ao Lin laughed.
Meanwhile, with the appearance of several more teenagers at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, several battlefields emerged on the originally spacious steps of the Hall of Ministers, in most of which the Spirit Hall was at a disadvantage.
"Ten one-on-one matches!"
"Two against two, four matches!"
"Seven against seven, one match!"
"Based on points, seven-on-seven matches account for 50% of the points, meaning that winning a seven-on-seven match puts you in an unbeatable position. One-on-one and two-on-two matches each account for the remaining points."
A referee reads out the rules.
"Winning seven-on-seven is practically a guaranteed victory. With the Shrek Seven Devils on the Imperial Palace's side, a team-based weapon of mass destruction, the Spirit Hall is almost guaranteed to lose! One-on-one or two-on-two is practically useless." A few nobles were already laughing heartily.
Some students from the Heaven Dou Empire's Heaven Dou Imperial Academy were even more unrestrained, laughing, "A one-on-one battle against two teams of two isn't useless; at least it lets everyone see how the Spirit Hall loses!"
"Snort!"
Hu Liena looked at the man, and a flash of purple light inadvertently appeared in her eyes, causing him to instantly feel chest tightness and collapse to the ground, his whole body as if it had been hollowed out.
"How dare you! In broad daylight, you dare to injure someone?" Xue Xing shouted. The injured person was her nephew, who was also the emperor's younger brother. He had actually been hurt.
Hu Liena ignored him, instead staring at Xue Can, and said coldly, "I hurt him, what are you going to do about it?"
As long as Xue Can gives the order, she will be injured.
At that time, Hu Liena was no longer just Hu Liena.
She is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall!
If you harm the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, then it will be someone else's turn to tear off this mask that should have been torn off. The Spirit Hall's wrath will burn relentlessly from Spirit City to the Heaven Dou Empire!
Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts in Hu Liena's mind.
At the scene, many more people felt that an opportunity had arisen.
Xue Xing's eyes widened, her small eyes, which were hidden in her plump face, winked and tried to get Xue Can to take this opportunity to win over Hu Liena, which would undoubtedly further thwart the Spirit Hall's ambitions.
As a result, Xue Can's reaction surprised everyone.
Even Hu Liena took a deep breath.
Upon seeing her twin brother's reaction, Xue Can showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm not angry at all."
Even Hu Liena frowned at this answer.
What a smiling tiger!
A head-on, stubborn enemy is nothing to worry about; all attacks should be made public.
Those guys who are all cunning and manipulative are really a handful; the best course of action when dealing with them is usually to avoid them and minimize the damage.
Of course, Hu Liena had no way to avoid it at this point.
"Anyone who offends you, Holy Maiden, is free to act as you please. I will not stop them, and I will even help you find those who deserve punishment." With that, Xue Can waved her hand expressionlessly.
An old man beside her stepped forward and threw the Xue Beng -faced Xue Beng in front of Hu Liena like a dead dog.
Xue Can smiled and asked, "What do you want now, Your Saintess Hall?"
"You!"
Is this guy actually going to retaliate against me?!
Hu Liena gritted her teeth, about to lash out, but was stopped by her brother Xie Yue behind her. "The Emperor is deliberately provoking you. If you really kill that dog prince, you'll probably end up losing more than you gain."
He glanced at the leisurely Xue Beng on the throne and murmured, "Advancing by retreating, this guy is truly extraordinary. If he were still a Soul Master, the Heaven Dou Empire would probably become very, very strong within a few decades."
A short while later,
One great battle after another came to an end.
The battle began with Xiao Wu's fight, followed by a series of two-on-two matches where the elites of the Heaven Dou Empire, united as one, delivered a resounding victory over the Spirit Hall.
Two against two, and a complete defeat!
Meanwhile, the situation on the one-on-one stage was also not optimistic. The battles were very intense, and one after another, the young people from the Spirit Hall were defeated.
"Does this mean even one-on-one matches will involve shaving your head?!"
"No way, that guy named Ao Lin is really strong."
Before he could finish speaking...
With a deafening roar, the sound drowned out all the shouts from the crowd.
Xiao Wu's scorpion-like long hair coiled tightly Entanglement Ao Lin's neck, and with an incomprehensible, terrifying flexibility, she slammed him to the floor, ending the battle.
Thus far, the Spirit Hall has suffered defeats in all nine one-on-one matches.
The Spirit Hall has yet to send anyone to the last battle platform.
But the people from the Spirit Hall had already lowered their heads; even Xie Yue and Hu Liena felt there was no hope left.
Because of the guy defending the tenth spot.
He was the strongest young man of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Thousand-Hand Asura, Tang San!
