Chapter 116: Identity Exposed_1

All the spectators, filled with immense disappointment, almost hesitated not at all in choosing to leave…

This Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Contest was perhaps the worst they had ever seen!

The finals not only sprung a nonsensical Titled Douluo, but his move was the ninth soul skill that instantly defeated the opponent, winning in such a way that they simply couldn't muster any interest.

Suyun Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he watched the rapidly departing crowd below Martial Soul Hall, "Oh no, there goes not just the hosting prize money, but possibly an entire year's salary."

Wait, didn't Xu Sheng say he would cover for me before? After all, it was I who awakened his Martial Soul back in the day, so making a small request isn't too much, right?

Yes, that's it…

...

After Xiaowu fell from the sky to the ground, an Immortal Herb exuding a faint red halo tumbled out of her pocket…

Feeling the breath that originated from his own Martial Soul, Yueguan suddenly turned his head toward the arena, his eyes fixed on the Immortal Herb next to Xiaowu in shock, "Hm? What is that… Acacia Red!"

That was a superior Immortal Herb! It was on the same level as his own Martial Soul: mystic heaven chrysanthemum!

Gui Mei, listening to Yueguan murmuring to himself, also glanced over…

"What are you talking about? What Acacia Red? That is… Quick, look at that girl!" His voice suddenly changed mid-sentence.

The girl in the tight clothes was not human at all! She was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

Yueguan suddenly came to his senses, looked at Xiaowu, and with widened eyes exclaimed, "It really is!!"

Their soul power rank had reached level 95, so they recognized at a glance that Xiaowu wasn't human!

A cruel smile appeared on Yueguan's lips, "Well, well, brazen monster, daring to take human form and show off in our Martial Soul Hall!"

Gui Mei attentively felt the aura emanating from Xiaowu, confirming, "This soul beast's aura is very similar to that one that escaped our clutches back then!"

Licking his thin lips, Yueguan declared, "It's not just similar, it is the one!!"

...

The shocked Martial Soul Hall members surveyed Shrek's Companions lying on the ground…

Flame spoke with intense dissatisfaction, "Xu Sheng? Why did you just instantly defeat them? Seems we didn't even get a chance to make a move."

He had been thinking about stretching his muscles, especially after watching these people fight so many battles, which left him itching to join in.

Who knew that Xu Sheng would wipe them all out in one move, without any consideration for their feelings!

Evil Moon also frowned slightly, "Xu Sheng, isn't this a bit…"

Hulena didn't say much, but her face still showed traces of disappointment…

Disappointed because Xu Sheng hadn't discussed with them before taking action, it was as if they had won by lying down… no, were they given a walkover championship?

If that was the case, what was the point of participating in this contest?

Compared to Ning Fengzhi and the others, the four other Martial Soul Hall members seemed much more relaxed. What's better than a victory where you can just lie down!

They had only come to make up the numbers, anyway.

Only Xu Sheng stayed focused on the Acacia Red beside Xiaowu, knowing that her identity was definitely exposed.

He had wanted to respect Xiaosan's sake, to defeat them in one move so Xiaowu wouldn't have her identity exposed, but now it seemed…

What was to come would still come…

...

Sword Douluo Chen Xin stared at Xiaowu's body, incredulously saying, "Hm? That Xiaowu… is actually a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"

He too could hardly believe what he was saying: that a soul beast transformed into a human was actually participating in a Soul Master's contest…

It was simply beyond comprehension.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face stiffened, "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Is it the girl next to Tang San?"

Chen Xin's eyes seemed contemplative as they glanced toward the fallen Acacia Red on the ground, "Hmm, it must have been that Immortal Herb that fell, causing the soul beast's aura to leak out."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe also looked toward Xiaowu…

A trace of pity flickered in the pupils hidden beneath the mask…

Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin could see Xiaowu's true form; that woman must have discovered it all by now.

The reason she hadn't made a move was probably that she was waiting for the right moment.

…

Bi Bidong's gaze fell on Xiaowu, and a strong killing intent inadvertently flared up, "It turns out there's an unexpected windfall."

Last time, they let this soul beast escape, but this time, it had walked right into their trap!

Upon waking from their stupor, Xiaowu and Shrek's Members hurriedly surveyed their surroundings. Xiaowu, in a panic, quickly gathered the Acacia Red…

Only after she covered up the soul beast's aura that she had emitted did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart…

Tang San, with concern in his voice, asked, "Xiaowu, are you alright?"

Xiaowu shook her head, "I'm fine."

She silently thought, "Surely my identity as a soul beast hasn't been exposed, has it?"

Oscar, coming to his senses, rubbed his head and mumbled groggily, "What just happened? How did we end up in such a terrifying place?"

Dai Mubai recalled the horror of what had just happened, his heart tightening, "I'm not sure, that place was like purgatory, it's fortunate those Nine-Hearted Begonia didn't attack us."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing waking up beside him, he quickly went to offer words of warmth and comfort…

Ning Rongrong bit her thin lips, speaking uncomfortably, "My head's so foggy, I feel utterly confused."

Tang San, with his Purple Demon Eyes, could see through illusions, so he was sure they had merely entered a space similar to a virtual realm where any damage inflicted would translate into a mental assault…

So, he explained with a wry smile, "Brother Sheng just directly used his ninth soul skill to forcibly draw our spiritual power into the scene he had created."

At the same time, his gaze drifted forward, filled with a quiet sense of grievance as he stared at Xu Sheng…

Oscar sighed, "A ninth soul skill, we're lucky to have made it back alive."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke flatly, "That's right, losing to a Title Douluo isn't a disgrace."

…

Atop the pavilion, Bi Bidong slowly clenched the Purple-Golden Scepter and stepped forward, her tone indifferent, "First of all, congratulations to the Hall of Martial Souls Seed Team for winning the championship of this Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Contest. Each of you can freely choose one soul beast from those bred by the Martial Soul Hall to absorb as a Soul Ring!"

The Hall of Martial Souls Seed Team were already Martial Soul Hall insiders, so these words were merely a formality!

Bi Bidong lightly waved the Purple-Golden Scepter, "Therefore, I declare the Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Contest officially concluded!"

As her words fell, Yueguan and Gui Mei instantly fixed their gaze on Xiaowu, ready to act on Bi Bidong's command at any moment!

…

Flander approached Shrek's Companions like a comforter and spoke slowly, "Little monsters, let's go. Since we've lost, there's no need to stay here any longer."

Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang also came forward, smiling, "That's right, you didn't lose to the Hall of Martial Souls Seed Team but to a fighter of Title Douluo level!"

Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly, "That's right, we haven't lost yet!"

Zhu Zhuqing, uncharacteristically, extended her hand to grasp his…

Only after Tang San glanced at Xu Sheng did he slowly say, "If that's the case, then let's leave."

All Shrek Members nodded in agreement, "Yeah!"

Subsequently, they turned with Yu Xiaogang and the others, preparing to leave…

"However, the dignity of the Martial Soul Hall won't tolerate the provocation of a mere hundred-thousand-year beast!"

The next second, Bi Bidong's domineering words resounded through the entire Pope Hall!
