Did the Spirit Contract Pagoda Lose?
Having calmed down, Xu Tianran turned to Ju Zi behind him and asked, "Ju Zi, what do you think of this competition?"
Looking towards the arena, Ju Zi smiled and said, "Both the Spirit Contract Team and the Holy Spirit Team are filled with strong players."
"Considering this is crucial for advancing to the finals, they'll definitely reveal some of their hidden cards, right? It's going to be very exciting."
Xu Tianran nodded. "Yes, this is a decisive match. But I'd like to know more about which side you think will win?"
Please allow me to think about it.
In fact, Ju Zi was well aware that the Spirit Contract Team had a higher chance of winning. Admittedly, Evil Soul Master possessed extremely strange methods that allowed them to have combat power far exceeding their level.
However, according to their intelligence network, during the battle between the Spirit Contract Pagoda and the so-called Anti-Spirit Alliance a few years ago, they revealed a special Humanoid Soul Tool called Battle Armor.
This Humanoid Soul Tool seems to possess the ability to enable Soul Saint to unleash combat power comparable to Titled Douluo.
Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire attempted to acquire the opponent's Battle Armor technology through means such as trading and infiltration.
However, the information about the Battle Armor was kept very secret by the Spirit Contract Pagoda, and they had no way of getting their hands on it.
That is, a year ago they successfully bribed Blue Poison, the tower master of the Mingdu branch, to obtain some early drafts.
Combining their current research on Humanoid Soul Tool, they successfully created Humanoid Soul Tool belonging to their Sun Moon Empire.
However, these Humanoid Soul Tool are like comparing scrap metal to fine steel compared to Battle Armor —the difference is too great.
Although this item is not sold to the public by the Spirit Contract Pagoda, many high-ranking members seem to possess their own Battle Armor.
The members of the Spirit Contract Pagoda Team all hold extremely special positions within Spirit Contract Pagoda, so it can be inferred that each of them likely possesses their own unique Battle Armor.
With such Divine Artifact as a backup, the Holy Spirit Team's chances of winning will inevitably be greatly reduced.
The Spirit Contract Team was already incredibly strong, and with the added support of their Battle Armor, do they really have any rivals in this tournament?
However, considering the black-robed man beside them, who was the Grand Preceptor of their Sun Moon Empire and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu, they certainly couldn't say that directly.
Therefore, after feigning some thought, Ju Zi spoke in an ambiguous tone, "Both teams are very strong, and the outcome is unpredictable. I really cannot judge."
After listening, Xu Tianran smiled. He understood Ju Zi 'Ju Zi concerns, so he didn't take her concealment to heart.
There was no other way; if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Spirit Cult was still useful to their Sun Moon Empire, he would have severed all ties with these disgusting guys long ago.
Xu Tianran then turned to the Imperial Advisor, "Imperial Advisor, do you think your sect has a chance of defeating the Spirit Contract Team?"
The Grand Preceptor, dressed in black robes, said calmly, "My sect will surely bring glory and victory to your nation."
Xu Tianran could only smile and say, "Then I look forward to your sect's performance."
"Of course it was your crushing defeat," Xu Tianran thought to himself.
How could he not know the information that Ju Zi knew about the Spirit Contract Pagoda?
He is eager to see if this national strategist can maintain this composure in the upcoming matches.
The whistle to start the match blew at that moment.
Jiang Nannan released her Martial Soul, the Taiyin Moon Rabbit, her eyes flashing with a cold light, and rushed towards the Jixiang location with light steps.
Jixiang, with a fierce expression, stuck out her tongue, which suddenly grew longer and lashed out at Jiang Nannan like a whip.
At this moment, Jiang Nannan was like a fairy dancing in the moonlight at the competition venue. Her movements were as swift as the wind, yet elegant. With her agile skills, she lightly dodged every attack from Jixiang, giving him no chance to touch her.
Jixiang gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, "You can hide on the first day of the month, but you can't hide on the fifteenth! Let's see how long you can hide!"
Jiang Nannan gave a cold laugh, "Your attack is too direct; it can't hurt me at all."
"Is that so?" Jixiang with a strange smile.
The moment Jiang Nannan landed, several black tentacles suddenly sprouted from the ground and wrapped around her.
Turbidity of Darkness, this is his fifth Soul Skill.
This move is a control Soul Skill that allows you to select a specific area and grow multiple tentacles to entangle the enemy.
Because this skill is instantaneous, it has a limit of only three uses per day, but even so, it can still be considered a divine skill.
Although theoretically anyone strong enough could force their way through, tests showed that unless the enemy was two levels higher, it would take at least ten seconds for anyone else to break through.
And this is Power Attack System Soul Master! It's even more difficult for Agility Attack System Soul Master like Jiang Nannan to break through!
Looking at the girl entangled by tentacles, Jixiang licked his lips, a malicious smile playing on his lips. After thinking something disgusting, he said, "Hehehe, finally caught you, little rabbit."
"I've never tasted brains from such an exquisite girl before! It must taste incredibly sweet!!!"
After licking its lips again, Jixiang's tongue stretched out and aimed straight at Jiang Nannan's forehead, its tip like a spearhead, determined to pierce through Jiang Nannan's brain.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhan knew it was time to intervene and immediately tried to stop it.
Ke Jixiang casually tossed a round iron ball, saying, "Oops, sorry, it slipped."
An Absolute Defensive Soul Tool shield enveloped Zheng Zhan, but the powerful Soul Power of Titled Douluo shattered this level-seven shield.
But it was precisely because of this brief pause that Jixiang seized the opportunity, his tongue already close to Jiang Nannan's brow.
At that moment, all the spectators present held their breath. Was the Spirit Contract Team about to face their first defeat?
Is this goddess, who seemed to have emerged from the moon, really going to perish like this?
This is unacceptable!!! Many viewers who have witnessed countless Soul Master die at the hands of those venomous tongues have already closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
The Holy Spirit Team below the stage were either excited about their impending victory or complaining about why they weren't the first to go on stage. They felt that having such a top-quality girl devoured would greatly benefit their cultivation.
However, the Spirit Contract Team seemed completely unconcerned about the danger Jiang Nannan was facing; some members were even sneering for some reason.
Jiang Nannan, who was being entangled, looked at the tongue that was about to be licked and said coldly, "You're disgusting."
After saying Jixiang's long tongue, which was used by Brain-Eating Beast, pierced through Jiang Nannan's forehead.
