Chapter 3260_1

After a break at halftime, amid the loud calls from the audience, the friendly match had to start ahead of time...

The deacon in charge of hosting the contest took a deep breath and announced with great fervor, "After two hours of rest, all academy students must have restored their Soul Power to its peak condition!"

"So, I declare the continuation of the friendly match. Next up will be the confrontation between Shenfeng Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

However, the next second, the former was subjected to the skepticism of many spectators, and the atmosphere on the scene turned weird...

"What? Heaven Dou Royal Academy just finished a match and now they have to play again? Something's not right here!"

"Yeah, wasn't it supposed to be Shenfeng Academy and Skywater Academy, who were the earliest to go on stage, to battle it out? Why did they specifically pick the two strongest ones instead?"

"The strongest? What do you mean by that? Do you not take Skywater Academy seriously? Their strength isn't inferior to that of any other academy's team, alright!"

"Hmph, Skywater Academy is just lucky to have countered Blazing Fire Academy, that's all. If you really talk about strength, they can't make the cut among the Five Great Elemental Academies at all!!"

"I think this is definitely Martial Soul Hall's doing, hoping that Shenfeng Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy will both suffer and be unable to continue the next match. That way, they could battle with the slightly weaker Skywater Academy!!"

Hearing these words, Shui Yue'er said angrily, "Damn it, how can these spectators talk like this? Our Skywater Academy is completely underestimated!"

Gu Qingbo nodded in agreement, "Exactly, it was clearly our strength that won us the victory. They're saying we relied on luck!"

Yu Hairou also echoed, "That's too much. Had we known this would happen, we should have faced other academies and then won with our absolute strength!"

Shui Bing'er's expression also didn't look too good. Although defeating Blazing Fire Academy indeed involved a factor of elemental advantage, this shouldn't negate their talent!

But she spoke softly, "Everyone, don't be angry. We are aware of our own strength. As long as we show it in the subsequent battles, surely no one will object!!"

After these words fell, the students of Skywater Academy also forcibly suppressed their anger...

Although being underrated was somewhat annoying, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing!!

"Only you would think that way, Bing'er."

After extracting the information, Xie Xie then turned to En Ci with a serious expression, "Saint Soul Douluo, did you hear that? Xue Yuntian has been killed by the Ghost Emperor!"

The latter nodded slightly, "Yes, since that is the case, then we can only..."

Xie Xie interrupted, "Since you've heard, then we must retreat quickly!"

En Ci was momentarily stunned, "Retreat... retreat?? Elder Xie, didn't you just say we were going to fight this Ghost Emperor?"

Xie Xie tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Ha? I'm no fool. To fight a Ghost Emperor who has ascended to godhood, surviving would be a miracle. Fine, let's talk later, we need to retreat now!!"

As soon as his voice trailed off, his body suddenly exploded, turning into pure Soul Power...

This sight left En Ci dumbfounded, "A... clone??"

Elder Xie had actually used a clone to conduct the reconnaissance with him!!

He had left, and now was En Ci left to face the consequences alone!!

Indeed, the evil Soul Master who regained his senses immediately released a soul skill...

An overwhelming attack, filled with an evil aura, was coming head-on...

En Ci clenched his teeth and shouted coldly, "Fourth Soul Skill, Divine Dragon Embodiment!!"

In the blink of an eye, the Holy Radiant Dragon let out a piercing dragon's roar, bursting forth with a golden brilliance too dazzling to behold, and took the initiative to envelop the former within it…

Just like that, it forcibly blocked all attacks...

Although it sustained no damage due to the absolute difference in strength, its Soul Power was rapidly depleting…

The Chairman then showed a thoughtful expression, "I see, so the news has also been blocked from the federation?"

Even though the Battle God Hall is under the federation, they are not part of the same system. They truly heed only the Battle God Hall's hall master and the War Gods!

Thus, keeping this piece of information under wraps is no difficult task!

Guan Yue spoke again, "Chairman, in short, I hope you and the other council members won't take offense!"

Regaining his focus, the Chairman immediately waved his hand, "No harm done, this is indeed the correct choice. If the news of Lord Chen's demise were to spread, it would indeed cause quite an uproar!"

Guan Yue's eyes tightened, switching the topic, "I'm glad the Chairman understands. May I ask what brings you to the Battle God Hall this time?"

The Chairman patiently explained, "It's like this, I heard that Hall Master Guan is preparing to restore the operations of the Battle God Hall, so I specifically came to discuss this!"

"After all, as you know, the current situation of the federation is not great!"

Guan Yue immediately understood and chimed in, "Yes, indeed, at present, on the Soul Land Continent, there's not only the already ascended Ghost Emperor but also the soaring Spirit Pagoda holding extreme animosity towards the federation!"

"Both pose great dangers and must be treated with utmost caution!"

The Chairman heaved a sigh of relief, his tone utterly serious, "It seems that in this period, Hall Master Guan has not been ignorant of the outside world. In that case, I'll speak frankly—the federation is in dire need of the Battle God Hall's assistance."

If the former was not clueless, it would make his own explanations much easier!

Guan Yue instinctively retorted, "This is the responsibility of the Battle God Hall, but what is the goal?"

After understanding, the Titan Ape asked again, "So, big brother, are we really going to do as Tang San said?"

The Azure Oxpython hesitated for a bit, then decided, "Yes, since Tang San has made his own decision, we should not worry too much about it!"

He believed that Tang San would not gamble with the life of his own kin; he must have made prior arrangements!

The Titan Ape's eyes grew serious, "In that case, I shall head to Shrek Academy now!"

Having said that, he was about to set of...

Seeing this, the Azure Oxpython stopped him, "Not so fast. Gu Yuena's spiritual power is extremely strong now, not even weaker than that of an ordinary Third-Rank God!"

"If you leave the Ten Thousand Beast Platform now, she is likely to detect it instantly. For this, we must wait for an opportune moment!"

The Titan Ape scratched his head, "Big brother, what's the issue? If Gu Yuena finds out, so be it; she doesn't know what I'm going to do!"

"If worst comes to worst, I'll just say I need to return to the Haotian Sect Ruins for a while!"

The Azure Oxpython was somewhat exasperated, reminding, "Second brother, do you really think her menagerie of ferocious beasts are just there to fill numbers??"

Based on his understanding of Gu Yuena, at this crucial time, she would never allow anything unexpected to happen!

Xue Yuntian glanced at the terrified Daijin and teased, "What? Do you also think I am naturally cruel??"

The Daijin's pupils shrank, and he immediately denied, "Your servant has never thought so. The contributions Your Majesty the Emperor has made for the Douling Empire are comparable even to those of the previous emperors.
