Chapter 323 Although I Feel a Little Sorry for Xiao Wu (Two in One)
"By the way, Tang San, I just saw Er Ming's soul ring appear on the body of Huo Yuhao's companion."
After briefly discussing the next plan, seeing that the conversation was about to end, Niu Tian took advantage of the last opportunity to ask the question that had been buried in his heart for nearly two years.
"How is Er Ming doing now?"
"Well"
As if he had already prepared to deal with Niu Tian's words, Tang San barely hesitated. After coughing, he explained in a heavy and serious tone.
"Er Ming exposed his strength in the lower realm without authorization, which violated the rules of the God Realm. After discussion by the God Realm Committee, his resurrection will be temporarily restricted."
Niu Tian was stunned, unable to react for a moment: "What?"
"I'm sorry for you about this." Tang San sighed softly, as if feeling guilty.
"I have also thought about interceding for Er Ming, but you also know, Daming, that being one of the three major law enforcers in the God Realm not only means a lofty status, but also represents a responsibility to lead by example.
Especially the one I inherited is the always selfless God Shura. If I choose to use power for personal gain at this time, I will only live up to the expectations of the old God Shura, as well as the evil and kind old god-kings. "
"But don't worry too much. Erming is a real god, as I said before."
Tang San was still chattering, but Niu Tian felt that his voice was getting farther and farther away from him, becoming more and more ethereal.
It was as if the soul had been pulled out of the body by an invisible hand and dragged into the abyss of despair.
The biting chill swept through every corner of his body in an instant, bringing a strong panic that made him shiver.
Recalling the golden-brown soul ring that appeared under the blond woman, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Can Er Ming really be resurrected?
He didn't dare to think about it.
After all, at this moment, he had no other choice but to go to the dark side of believing that Tang San could resurrect Er Ming.
Thinking about this any longer will only make him more anxious and won't help in any way.
".I see."
Niu Tian took a deep breath, and there was no emotion or anger in his voice: "I will try my best to let Huo Yuhao enter the Valley of Questioning."
"Well, be careful."
After ending the call, Tang San fell into silence, and at the same time, his face became visibly gloomy.
He knew that Niu Tian had lied.
They said that they brought Tang San from the lower realm to participate in the Soul Master Competition in order to avoid suspicion. In such a state of knowing nothing, how could he raise suspicion?
Do you doubt that there will be no Blue Silver Emperor after coming to the Sun and Moon Empire?
Or do you suspect that Haotian Sect is not sincere in cultivating him?
Taking a step back, even if Niu Tianzhen really took him to participate in the Soul Master Competition to eliminate Tang San's suspicions, what does this have to do with asking him to help deal with Huo Yuhao?
There is no doubt that all this actually comes from Niu Tian's arrogance. It was because he wanted to avenge Er Ming that he deliberately sent Tang San from the lower realm to the Silver Dragon King and others.
Although he could understand Niu Tian's desire for revenge, Tang San was greatly annoyed by his behavior of disobeying orders and acting without permission.
He had obviously promised before that Huo Yuhao would definitely pay the price, but instead of listening to half of his words, this guy even took his chips and dangled them in front of his opponent without even understanding the situation. .
Isn’t it just adding chaos? ?
Fortunately, the other party was alert enough and mistook it for a trap he had set and did not act rashly. If the Silver Dragon King had been a little more impulsive, I'm afraid Tang San from the lower realm would have fallen into their hands again.
It is no exaggeration to say that once he loses this trump card that restricts the opponent, the situation he has worked hard for so long will fall apart in an instant.
Completely in a passive situation in this game.
If it hadn't caused no substantial damage and the accident was in line with his next plan, let alone agreeing to Niu Tian to deal with Huo Yuhao, it would be considered a good temper if he didn't kill this guy backhand.
And that wasn't the only thing that gave him a headache.
Judging from Niu Tian's performance, it was obvious that he had become suspicious of Er Ming's resurrection.
This kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but not forever. If the real situation is known, God knows what tricks this guy will impulsively play on him.
Although Er Ming's incident was indeed his mistake, it had already happened, and he could only put away his grief and think about remedial measures.
After all, if others knew that he was unwilling to save Er Ming, it would probably cause a huge blow to his reputation, and might even cause Xiao Wu's dissatisfaction, which he could not accept in any case.
How about waiting for Niu Tian to send Tang San from the lower realm to Qiankun Qingqing Valley, and find an opportunity to kill him too?
Tang San's eyes shone slightly, obviously a little moved.
Although the divine realm prohibits gods from interfering with the lower realm, if the object of interference is the successor to the divine throne chosen by themselves, then this requirement will be relaxed accordingly.
As long as the person with the same name enters the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, he can take this opportunity to descend to the divine level for assessment and control the other party in the form of assessment tasks.
At that time, even without Niu Tian, he could still use the name of assessment to give Tang San various trials in the lower realm without any scruples, thereby completely controlling this guy.
For example, if he wanted Tang San's life in the lower realm, he didn't even need to do it himself. He could just issue a time-limited death mission that was almost impossible to complete, and then wait for good news.
Although it was a bit unfair to Xiao Wu to attack the two brothers-in-law, he could only resort to this last resort to prevent other accidents from happening...
Several days passed, and the round-robin tournament in full swing reached the tense and exciting final moment.
With the end of the previous few games, the four groups were ranked in real time according to the win points of each team, and the teams in each group that had the opportunity to qualify had surfaced in this process.
For example, those participating teams that had won six games in a row in the round-robin tournament, even if they lost the last game, could still advance to the quarterfinals as the second place in the group.
The dust settled and the teams that were destined to miss the qualifying became negative. They no longer fought hard for the so-called victory, but took the mentality of training and dealt with each of the next games in a way that tried not to get hurt as much as possible.
The reason why today's game was tense and exciting was that today there were four teams that won six games in a row, competing for the first and second place in the two groups.
Sun Moon Royal High-level Soul Instructor Academy, vs. Mingdu High-level Soul Instructor Academy.
Shrek Academy, vs. Haotian Sect.
The former may not have much suspense, but the latter is definitely the focus of today's game.
Shrek naturally needs no introduction.
As the first college on the continent, even though the captain Beibei never played from the beginning to the end, the whole team still marched forward and defeated the six teams in the same group with overwhelming force, which is enough to show how strong its overall strength is.
The martial soul beast Xuanwu, Xu Sanshi with the cultivation of Soul Emperor.
The first auxiliary martial soul of the continent, Qibao Liuli Tower, Ning Tian with the cultivation of Soul King.
In addition, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan and others who are also Soul Kings and have top martial souls.
Although this lineup is not as perverted as the monster teams such as the Spiritual Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Church, it is still no problem to bully other teams in the same group.
And their opponent, Haotian Sect, should not be underestimated either.
From being ignored at the beginning, to emerging later, and finally to attracting much attention, this team has always maintained an extremely low-key fighting style.
This also made everyone pay attention to this team that was once the world's number one sect until the end of the round-robin tournament, when they saw the points of the Haotian Sect without any defeats, and thus realized their strength.
Because the martial souls were all Haotian Hammer, most of the audience subconsciously did not distinguish each contestant of the Haotian Sect.
When they really paid attention, they found that this team was actually the same as the Holy Spirit Sect, except for two substitute players with the cultivation level of Soul King, and the captain who had never played from beginning to end.
All members were Soul Emperors.
This is a terrifying lineup that even the top teams such as the Body Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, and even the Sun and Moon Academy have never had.
Moreover, all the players are Soul Emperors, which means that their captain who has been hiding his strength is likely to be a strong man with the cultivation level of Soul Saint.
After Meng Hongchen, Long Aotian, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao, whose soul ring appeared under the soul and whose cultivation level is suspected to be Soul Saint, this is the fifth Soul Saint in this competition!
In previous competitions, teams with a Soul Emperor were already qualified to win the championship.
But in this competition, where Soul Saints gathered and even Soul Douluo appeared, such teams could only serve as foils.
Not only them, but even teams like the Body Sect that have Soul Saints can only serve as stepping stones for other teams.
Unprecedented participating teams, unprecedented Soul Master competition.
With the development of the situation to this point, no matter who wins the championship, this competition is enough to be recorded in history and become one of the grand events that countless civilians have passed on for thousands of years.
"... Do you really not need my help?"
In the Shrek rest area, Huo Yuhao looked at Beibei and others who were eager to try and full of fighting spirit, and asked softly.
He had originally thought of playing as a Shrek contestant today, but he didn't expect Beibei to politely decline.
Unlike Sun Moon Academy and Shrek, who played their last match today, the group of Holy Spirit Religion and Spiritual Pagoda had already finished the last round of competition yesterday.
The two favorite teams won the first place in the group as expected by the audience.
As for the second place in the same group, it was the Body Sect, which had been beaten but relied on the Soul Saint cultivation to defeat the other six teams.
And Xingluo Royal Academy, which almost won by doing nothing.
After all, judging by the lineup, Tianlongmen has more than two strong men with the cultivation of Soul Emperor, and its overall strength is much stronger than Xingluo Royal Academy.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's dream that made Yu Tianlong and others miss the game directly, Xingluo Royal Academy might not be able to defeat Tianlongmen and advance to the quarterfinals with the second place in the group.
Tianlongmen was helpless about this. Compared with the ruthless means of deliberately using heavy hands to weaken the opponent's strength, which made them lose arms and legs in the end, or even lost their lives, Huo Yuhao's soul skills that let people sleep are undoubtedly much gentler.
Xu Jiujiu was naturally very touched by Huo Yuhao's help. He came to him on the day the game ended and said he wanted to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude.
After successfully luring Huo Yuhao to the designated location, this guy couldn't help but reveal his true nature after just two bites. He ate his mouth and ate it vigorously. It really seemed like he was repaying kindness with enmity.
“No, it won’t affect anything even if we lose.” Hearing Huo Yuhao’s question, Bei Bei shook his head gently.
“Before coming to Mingdu, Xuan Zu told me that every opportunity to fight with all my strength is hard-won, and I should try my best to enjoy the fighting process.”
“If I can find defects and improve myself in the battle, then it will be worth the trip, even if I lose.”
At this point, Bei Bei changed the subject and shrugged helplessly.
“Of course, winning or losing is also very important to me. I don’t want Shrek to be eliminated casually, so this game does not need to compete for the qualification, does not need to care about winning or losing, as long as it requires all-out fighting... It’s just right.”
“…”
Huo Yuhao was silent.
After a long time, he couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Then Brother Beibei, you have to work harder. The opponent is very strong."
"Don't worry, I have made great progress in the past few years."
Raising his hand and pointing at Xu Sanshi beside him, Beibei said with a smile: "Besides, I will let Sanshi go up and get beaten up before going on the court to test the opponent's bottom."
Xu Sanshi was furious: "Probe the bottom? I think you just want to see me get beaten up!"
"Isn't your martial spirit used to get beaten?"
Looking at Xu Sanshi's angry look, Beibei always maintained a warm smile: "Why, are you scared?"
"Heh." Xu Sanshi sneered: "It's been so many years, do you think I will still be provoked by you?"
"Sorry, did you make a mistake? Do I need to use provocation to deal with you?"
Beibei spread his hands: "I am now the captain who can give orders. If I ask you to play, you have to play."
"."
Xu Sanshi opened his mouth, grunted for a long time, and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only look at Huo Yuhao pitifully.
"Yuhao, why don't you go on the field yourself?"
Huo Yuhao grinned silently: "Senior, you think too highly of me. I am just a contestant who needs to obey the captain's command. I really can't help."
Before Xu Sanshi could persuade him again, Beibei on the side interrupted him: "Alright, there are always things that have to be faced, and you guys are too afraid of things recently?"
While talking, Beibei raised his head and looked at the rest area of the Haotian Sect not far away. After meeting Tang San's gaze, his eyes burned with a blazing fighting spirit.
"Five years ago, I relied on seven to one to win the opponent by chance. This time, I want to see if the gap between the two sides is still that big."
What does this look mean?
Sensing Beibei's fighting spirit, Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly, and he felt a little angry for no reason.
A few years have passed, and even this junior who was originally not taken seriously by him feels that he can compete with him?
Damn, it's okay if I can't beat Huo Yuhao, you guys can still be defeated with one hand! ?
"The next match is between Shrek Academy and Haotian Sect. Please go to the waiting area as soon as possible."
Hearing the voice, Beibei and Tang San stood up and strode towards the waiting area with the six players of their respective teams.
Seeing that the two captains who had never appeared on the stage had made the same move, the audience was immediately excited and cheered.
Although there would be no elimination in this match, judging from the state of both sides, neither Shrek nor Haotian Sect seemed willing to give up the qualification of the first place in the group easily.
"That kid is not simple."
Sitting on the seat in the waiting area, Xu Sanshi's face no longer had the exaggerated expression before. Looking at Tang San opposite, his expression seemed unusually solemn.
"According to my perception, his cultivation is not weaker than yours."
"It's normal."
Beibei's voice was calm: "He was a Soul Master upon admission, with twin martial souls and the unique skills of the Tang Sect. In the year when he was in the outer courtyard, Tang San was a genius on par with Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena."
"This game is not easy to win."
"Are you really scared?"
"Would I be scared?"
Xu Sanshi snorted coldly: "I am reminding you to be careful in the individual competition. If you can't do it, just admit defeat. At most, you can win by team battle like we did five years ago. It's not shameful."
I don't know if she listened to his words. Beibei smiled first, then turned her head to look at the chubby figure in the team.
"Xie Huanyue, you go first."
"Okay."
Xie Huanyue did not refuse. His martial soul Pipixiang is better at dissipating force than Lu Genggeng's hateful martial soul, and it is indeed very restraining against blunt martial souls such as the Clear Sky Hammer.
With this restraining effect, even if he only has the cultivation of Soul King now, he can still not lose out when facing the Soul Emperor of Haotian Sect.
And the result was not beyond Beibei's expectation. Although a lot of soul power was consumed in the process, Xie Huanyue did rely on the advantages of his own martial soul and won the first individual game for Shrek without any injuries, which attracted cheers from the audience.
In contrast, the reaction of Haotian Sect was unusually calm. Except for the Haotian Sect Soul Emperor who accidentally became a background board and felt ashamed, the rest of the people did not feel too much fear of Xie Huanyue's martial soul.
"Tang Hong, you play in the next game, use Haotian Jiujue."
"Yes."
Hearing Tang San's instructions, a Haotian Sect disciple stood up without hesitation and walked towards the ring with a grim smile.
Are you kidding? Their Haotian Sect has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years. How could they not know where the shortcomings of their martial souls are?
If the Clear Sky Hammer was so easily restrained, how could it have secured the throne of the world's number one sect during the Spirit Hall period 10,000 years ago?
How could it be called the world's number one weapon spirit?
Each spirit has its own areas of weakness, and the reason why their Clear Sky Sect can stand out from the crowd is because of the complete set of Clear Sky Sect secrets that can allow them to face almost any situation.
The most representative of these is the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes mentioned by Tang San.
As both are Clear Sky Sect secrets, if the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique further enhances the attack power of the Clear Sky Hammer, then the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes are the countermeasures developed by the ancestors based on the shortcomings of the Clear Sky Hammer itself and the dilemmas it may face.
It is definitely the only choice for their Clear Sky Sect disciples when facing such a situation.
Although he has not yet learned all of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the two moves he knows happen to be able to counteract Xie Huanyue's Pipi Elephant spirit.
This is also the reason why Tang San sent him to the field.
From this moment on, their Haotian Sect will build on Shrek's reputation and show everyone the foundation of their sect that they are proud of.
