Douluo Dalu: The Legend of The Spider Emperor

Among soul bones, head soul bones are the rarest and most valuable, and Huyan Li happened to possess one.

Huyan Li hurled Xiao Wu into the air and followed up with a powerful elbow strike, causing the rabbit girl to spit out blood. Then, with a vicious motion, he flung her off the stage.

With that, the first elimination was decided!

Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San immediately went berserk. Countless Blue Silver Grass vines burst forth, madly surging toward Huyan Li, attempting to ensnare him.

But instead of panicking, Huyan Li's eyes gleamed, and he exchanged a knowing glance with his teammates. The seven of them quickly grouped together, forming a solid, impenetrable wall.

They raised their diamond shields in unison, effortlessly neutralizing Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Seeing his attack fail, Tang San refused to back down. He and Dai Mubai charged forward together, but no matter how strong they were, two fists could not stand against fourteen.

Huyan Li's fist alone was bigger than their faces.

With perfect coordination, the seven powerhouses each landed a heavy punch, sending Tang San spitting blood and Dai Mubai crashing to the ground.

They crushed Shrek Academy completely.

Pooling their strength, the seven powerhouses sent the rest of the Shrek team flying off the stage, one by one.

When only Oscar and Zhang Zhu were left standing, the outcome was clear as day.

Oscar looked up at the towering behemoths before him and gulped nervously. The pressure was overwhelming.

His first instinct was to surrender, but just then, he caught Tang San's stubborn gaze from the sidelines.

Without hesitation, Oscar raised his hand and declared loudly,

"We forfeit!"

Tang San gritted his teeth in frustration.

Oscar was just an auxiliary-type soul master, and Zhang Zhu was even weaker—there was no way they could fight against the seven titans before them.

Seeing this, the referee officially announced,

"Shrek Academy VS Elephant Armored Academy—Elephant Armored Academy wins!"

Huyan Li smiled confidently and gave a satisfied nod.

The seven team members released their soul transformations, patted each other's backs, and walked off the stage joking and laughing.

They had won decisively, and their mood was naturally excellent.

Meanwhile, on Shrek Academy's side…

They had lost again.

And this time, they had been utterly crushed.

Their eyes were hollow, and back-to-back defeats had left them exhausted and broken. A heavy atmosphere of despair hung over the entire team.

In the stands, Grandmaster let out a long sigh.

He was truly at a loss.

All his so-called tactical strategies had been useless. For the first time, he was starting to doubt himself.

"Xiaogang, are you okay?" Liu Erlong asked worriedly.

For days, Grandmaster had been depressed, locking himself in his room, and she was afraid he would do something drastic.

Grandmaster remained silent and left without a word, his expression gloomy and unreadable.

Liu Erlong sighed helplessly and quickly followed after him.

After this battle, Shrek Academy had lost twice in a row.

Dai Mubai and the others were completely dejected, and Oscar left the arena sighing heavily.

Tang San's face twisted with frustration, his left hand clenched tightly.

If only he had used the Clear Sky Hammer…

Maybe they could have won…

But there was no "what if."

They had lost, plain and simple.

In the VIP stands Emperor Xue Ye glanced at the retreating figures of Shrek Academy and shook his head.

"This Shrek Academy has already lost twice. Their next opponent is Blazing Academy, one of the Four Elemental Academies. Looks like… they're going to lose again."

Blazing Academy was a well-established team with a strong historical record in past tournaments.

This year's lineup was especially powerful.

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, judging from Shrek Academy's current condition, this preliminary round will likely be their final stop."

Hearing this, the other nobles and spectators all nodded.

Two consecutive losses had shattered Shrek Academy's morale.

Over the years, many teams had suffered similar fates, so this outcome wasn't surprising at all.

The next match was about to begin. Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Second Team VS Tianshui Academy.

In the waiting room, Ye Hao was getting ready to step onto the battlefield.

This time, he planned to end the fight quickly and decisively—no unnecessary delays.

After all, he still had plans for Tang San's hidden weapon blueprints, and he couldn't afford to waste time here.

As the Second Team stepped out, they ran into Tianshui Academy's team—their next opponent.

Since they were about to face each other, both sides exchanged polite greetings.

The second Team's captain, Yu Tianheng, smiled at Tianshui Academy's captain, Shui Bing'er, and the two nodded in acknowledgment.

Shui Bing'er smiled playfully and looked at Ye Hao.

"You guys better go easy on us—especially you, Ye Hao."

Her voice was soft and melodious, but her tone carried a teasing edge.

She was elegant and graceful, with long, flowing blue hair cascading down her back, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Ye Hao was the only rank-50 Soul King in the Heaven Dou tournament division, and Tianshui Academy had personally witnessed his overwhelming power in the previous match.

His unorthodox soul ring configuration had completely shattered their expectations.

And, of course, his ridiculously good looks had won over the hearts of many female spectators.

Ye Hao chuckled.

"Me?"

Hearing the words "go easy," he couldn't help but smirk.

"Of course, of course," he said with a polite smile.

The two teams brushed past each other, heading toward the arena.

As they walked by, Ye Hao could faintly hear excited whispers from the Tianshui girls:

"Wow! Ye Hao is so handsome!"

Ye Hao simply smiled to himself and paid no mind to their chatter.

The arena exploded with cheers, as thousands of spectators roared with excitement.

Tianshui Academy was a renowned school, composed entirely of female students, all of whom were exceptionally skilled.

Meanwhile, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Second Team had Ye Hao, who had already proven himself to be a formidable powerhouse.

Everyone was eagerly looking forward to this match.

The referee raised his voice,

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Second Team VS Tianshui Academy! Contestants, please enter the arena!"

From the tunnel entrance, seven Tianshui Academy girls strode in perfect formation.

Their graceful figures, long legs, and stunning beauty immediately sent the crowd into a frenzy.

The atmosphere reached its peak as excited cheers filled the air.

Shortly after, Yu Tianheng led the Second Team into the arena, followed by Dugu Yan, Ye Hao, and four other teammates.

With both teams now in position, the referee gave the command,

"You have one minute to summon your martial soul."

Shui Bing'er's expression suddenly turned serious.

Gone was the playful demeanor—in its place was absolute focus and determination.

Her two yellow and two purple soul rings lit up, and a large bird covered in icy frost appeared behind her.

The temperature in the arena plummeted instantly.

The massive bird flapped its wings, and a flurry of ice and snow surged forward…
