Chapter 203 Tianxing Academy VS Tianshui Academy!
Nodding slightly, Xue Qinghe raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he could see through the layers of palace walls to the Papal Palace standing in Wuhun City.
"Continue to monitor the situation closely, and report any unusual activity immediately."
She gave a calm but serious order: "Also, have our people behave themselves for the time being. They are not to act rashly without my orders."
"Yes! I understand!"
The man in black bowed and accepted the order. With a flicker, he vanished once more as if disappearing into the shadows.
Standing alone in the garden where hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, Xue Qinghe looked at the beautiful peony in front of him, but his eyes gradually became deep and cold.
"Bibi Dong...you finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
"It seems I must find some time to sneak back to Wuhun City."
…………
Meanwhile, in the Sunset Forest.
The master's brief but piercing scream, though faint, was still caught by Tang Hao's keen senses.
The father and son's expressions changed simultaneously, and they immediately rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
When they arrived, they found the master slumped in the bushes like a discarded rag doll, covered in mud and blood, his breath as faint as a candle in the wind, clinging to life, on the verge of death.
"Dad, what happened? Teacher... was attacked by a powerful soul beast?"
Seeing the master's appearance, which was several times more miserable than before, Tang San frowned deeply, immediately released his spiritual power, and warily scanned his surroundings, saying in a deep voice.
Tang Hao did not answer immediately. Instead, he squatted down and placed his rough fingers on the master's wrist. Then, a stream of pure soul power carefully entered the master's body.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, his expression becoming somewhat solemn, even carrying a hint of disbelief, and slowly said, "It's not a soul beast. Although his injuries are severe, the real fatal wound is the golden holy dragon essence within his body, which mutated from his martial soul. It seems... it has been completely drained away."
"What? Your bloodline has been drained again?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression changed again, and he instantly thought of someone, exclaiming in surprise:
"You mean... the person the teacher just encountered was Dugu Bo?"
Tang Hao nodded with a gloomy expression and said:
"It must be him. This old poisoner's lair is deep in this Sunset Forest. It's not surprising that the commotion we caused attracted him. This piece of trash is just unlucky to have run into him."
Tang San's face immediately flushed with anger, but even more so with anxiety, as he said:
"Dad, what do we do next?"
"If my teacher dies, what will happen to my Clear Sky Hammer cultivation? Without him going to Spirit City to find Bibi Dong, who else can get the correct cultivation method for twin spirits?!"
He now pinned all his hopes on the master's promise to find Bibi Dong and obtain the cultivation method, and he absolutely could not watch this only hope be extinguished.
"I do have another way, but... in the end, it all depends on his fate." Looking at the master whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, Tang Hao frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"What method?" Tang San hurriedly asked.
Slowly turning around, Tang Hao cast his gaze into the distance, as if piercing through layers of space to see the city that symbolized the authority of the Spirit Hall. He said solemnly:
"In his current state, with all his internal organs damaged, his blood vessels drained, and his heart about to break, I can't save him. Next, I'll use my soul power to forcefully stabilize his last breath, then immediately take him and rush to Spirit City at full speed! And then... dump him at the entrance of the Papal Palace!"
"Throw it at the entrance of the Papal Palace?" Tang San's eyes widened, somewhat puzzled.
"That's right!" Tang Hao nodded, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, and said:
"Didn't this good-for-nothing say he had a past with Bibi Dong? Well, that depends on whether Bibi Dong is still willing to consider their past relationship and save him. If she is willing, with the resources of the Spirit Hall and her own strength, she might be able to pull this good-for-nothing back from the brink of death. If he survives, he can naturally fulfill his promise and obtain the cultivation method for twin spirits for you."
"If Bibi Dong is unwilling... then this piece of trash dying at the entrance of the Papal Palace can be considered the end of his ill-fated relationship with the Spirit Hall."
This plan was incredibly crude and risky, completely entrusting the master's life and death to Bibi Dong's vague and ethereal past relationship.
Upon hearing this, Tang San opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But seeing that the master looked like he might die at any moment, and knowing that this was the only potentially effective method at the moment, he could only grit his teeth and nod heavily.
…………
A few days later, in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, at the Heaven Dou Grand Battle Arena.
Inside the enormous circular building, the noise was deafening, and the atmosphere was as lively as boiling water.
The deafening cheers, shouts, and encouragement mingled together, creating a powerful sound wave that almost lifted the entire dome.
Sunlight streamed through the special crystal at the top, illuminating the smooth, mirror-like fighting arena and the countless excited faces in the stands.
The preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, specifically the Heaven Dou Empire division, are in full swing here.
The stands, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, were packed to capacity, with even the aisles filled with enthusiastic spectators. Flags from various colleges waved in the stands, creating a colorful sea of people.
On the huge leaderboard hanging high above, the wins and losses and scores of each college are constantly changing and being updated, captivating the hearts of countless people.
Just then, the host's passionate voice resounded throughout the venue through the megaphone:
"Ladies and gentlemen! The preliminary rounds have now reached their twentieth round! The intense and exciting competition is about to come to an end. Only a few crucial rounds of spirit battles remain to determine the teams from our Heavenly Dou Empire region that will advance to the finals!"
"Currently, the top-ranked Tianxing Academy, Leiting Academy, Shenfeng Academy, Chihuo Academy, and Tianshui Academy continue to maintain their strong momentum! Shrek Academy, which has received much attention, seems to have experienced some fluctuations in performance recently due to the absence of its main control-type Soul Master, Tang San, but it still retains hope of advancing!"
"In this final sprint, every battle is crucial! Let's wait and see which five teams will emerge victorious!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the private preparation room of Tianxing Academy is relatively relaxed.
The qualifiers are nearing their end, and their advancement is already confirmed.
"Old Poison Master, which academy are our opponents today?"
Tang Chuan slowly stood up from his seat, stretched his wrists briefly, looked at Dugu Bo who was leisurely sipping tea beside him, and casually asked.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo put down his teacup, a knowing glint in his emerald eyes, and replied, "It's Tianshui Academy. What, are you interested, kid?"
"Tianshui Academy?" Tang Chuan paused slightly, a flash of recollection crossing his eyes. He seemed to remember something, and a faint smile unconsciously curved his lips. He suddenly spoke:
"Then I'll play today."
"Oh?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow in surprise, looked Tang Chuan up and down, and said, "You kid, apart from the match against Shrek Academy where you personally taught your brother a lesson, you've been a hands-off manager, just watching the show from the sidelines."
"Why are you suddenly interested in playing against Tianshui Academy today? Could it be that you're eyeing them because they're full of pretty girls?"
Please vote for me!
