With Thunder Douluo guarding him, Yuwen Tuo continued, "Seven years ago, I went to a small town near Shiwa Village to awaken my martial spirit. Because the test showed my innate spirit power reached innate Level 20, the local city lord, Ma Sino, a graduate of Shrek's inner court, forcibly detained me..."
Yuwen Tuo spoke eloquently about his past.
"Yuwen Tuo, shut your mouth!!! Dai Yao-heng, Ling Luochen, assist me in bringing him down."
Ma Xiaotao could no longer bear it. She couldn't let Yuwen Tuo continue. She wasn't angry because Yuwen Tuo betrayed them; she knew that once Yuwen Tuo finished speaking, everything between her and Yuwen Tuo would truly be over.
Even if she could tolerate Yuwen Tuo, could Shrek? Especially Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, who valued Shrek's reputation the most, and her teacher Yan Shaozhe, would probably not even allow him back into that room, only sending him to hell.
Boom—
Suddenly, a massive ice cannon shot towards her. Ma Xiaotao reacted too slowly and was almost injured by the blast. Fortunately, Gongchang Long intervened in time to block the attack for her. The one who made the move was Elder Ma of the Sun Moon Empire; it was his Grade 8 soul tool, the Freezing Heavy Cannon.
"Shrek Academy, this child is merely speaking of his past. What is there that is so unbearable to hear, that makes each of you so frantically try to stop him?" Elder Ma had actually guessed Yuwen Tuo's intention. After all, unlike Star Luo and Dou Ling, who had just learned Yuwen Tuo was alive, the Sun Moon Empire had always known where he was and what kind of life he was living.
His eyes were filled with excitement. He had never imagined that Yuwen Tuo would choose to tear off his facade with Shrek at the moment of their greatest glory, right after winning the Continental Soul Master Tournament finals. This was practically kicking them from heaven to hell. The Sun Moon Empire's biggest rival had never been the three great nations, but Shrek. If not for Shrek, they, the Sun Moon Empire, would have unified the world thousands of years ago.
Now that they had a chance to step on Shrek, they naturally wouldn't miss it. Elder Ma even secretly gloated, wondering if this was Yuwen Tuo's declaration of allegiance to their Sun Moon Empire, having already been tempted and invited by Meng Hongchen.
As expected of someone with the noble bloodline of the Sun Moon Empire, truly intelligent and sensible.
Ma Xiaotao was blocked, but Dai Yao-heng successfully broke through to Yuwen Tuo's side, striking out with a tiger claw.
"Dai Yao-heng, stay away from my brother, Dragon Slaying Eighteen Slashes!" Jiang Peng leaped down from the high platform, his fierce slash possessing boundless power.
Dai Yao-heng instinctively pulled out his newly acquired Grade 8 close-combat soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, and blocked Jiang Peng's Heaven-Shaking Axe. Both sides retreated seven or eight steps. This time, one was a surprise attack, but the other possessed a soul tool, each having their advantages, resulting in a draw. Shrek's Dai Yao-heng and Di'ao's Jiang Peng were originally equally famous as genius Soul Emperors and powerful attack-type Battle Spirit Masters.
Jiang Peng's move was not surprising. After all, their country's protecting Douluo had made a move. What was wrong with him, a Heaven Dou noble, following in his Titled Douluo's footsteps?
"Ling Luochen, why aren't you moving?" Dai Yao-heng turned his head and angrily questioned.
Among the three inner court seniors of Shrek, only she remained motionless. If she had also made a move, Jiang Peng wouldn't have been able to stop the two of them, and perhaps they would have already driven back Jiang Peng and captured Yuwen Tuo.
Ling Luochen whispered, "I will not make a move. I promised Xiao Tuo I would help him leave. This time, he will definitely gain freedom!"
All the spectators were stunned. Wasn't this Shrek's championship award ceremony? How did it suddenly turn into a massive brawl between nations? Besides the time ten thousand years ago when the Spirit Hall hunted a 100,000-year soul beast at the award ceremony, when else had the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament been this lively?
Shrek's high-end combat power was all blocked, leaving only Zhou Yi. Her Exquisite Eight-Faced Spirit's combat power wasn't strong. Even if she came before Yuwen Tuo, Yuwen Tuo wouldn't fear her; it was still uncertain who would beat whom. As for the rest of the reserve members, which one was a match for Yuwen Tuo?
No one else could stop Yuwen Tuo; they could only let him finish narrating his entire past.
"...That's how it is. I was imprisoned by Shrek for six years, and wasted for six years. If not for that, how could I, with my innate full spirit power at Level 20, be merely a Spirit Grandmaster at the age of thirteen? Today, with the Heaven Dou Empire's protective Douluo present, I, Yuwen Tuo, a citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire, implore the Heaven Dou Empire's protective Douluo, Thunder Douluo, to uphold justice for me!"
"What?! Innate full spirit power at Level 20, and wasted for six years by Shrek?" Xu Jiawei slammed his chair and stood up. Under such circumstances, Yuwen Tuo's combat power was still so formidable; how powerful would he have been if he hadn't been wasted?
Xu Yueran closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, but seeing her trembling hands, her heart was clearly not calm at this moment.
Xu Jiujiu, however, was somewhat puzzled, "Strange, the intelligence I gathered on Yuwen Tuo stated his innate spirit power was innate Level 9. How could it be innate Level 20? Was his awakening record tampered with?"
The more Yu Yuan-cheng listened, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth, looked at Xuan Zi, and said, "Xuan Zi, is Yuwen Tuo's statement true?"
"Of course it's false," Zhou Yi quickly stepped forward and said. Xuan Zi was good at fighting, but his eloquence was not. At this time, it had to be her, because she, like her martial spirit, was "exquisite and multi-faceted."
She was an old hag when disciplining students, but when facing powerful individuals or those of noble status, she would become humble and polite, speaking to people as people and to ghosts as ghosts.
"Greetings, Thunder Douluo. Please do not believe this child's flowery words. He is clearly being instigated by others, his purpose being to frame my Shrek Academy. Just now, the Sun Moon Empire moved against my student Ma Xiaotao on his behalf. I suspect his true identity is that of a Sun Moon Empire individual." Just as Yuwen Tuo had expected, Shrek's reaction was to turn the tables. "Moreover, his innate spirit power is not innate Level 20; it is merely Level 9. That he reached Spirit Grandmaster at this age is largely due to our Shrek's nurturing. I never expected him to be a traitor at such a moment, framing my academy. Please, Thunder Douluo, investigate thoroughly."
"If Your Excellency doesn't believe me, you can send someone to the small town he mentioned to find his awakening record and the personnel who helped him awaken."
Zhou Yi feared that Yu Yuan-cheng wouldn't believe her, so she deliberately told him to find evidence himself. She knew that the academy had already altered Yuwen Tuo's awakening record. As for Ma Sino and Su Yunlang, they were both Shrek's people; what was there to worry about?
"As for Yuwen Tuo's awakening record, I have it right here!" Just then, Xu Jiujiu elegantly walked over, holding a piece of paper. "I sent someone to that small town to retrieve this not long ago. It records that Yuwen Tuo's awakening level was indeed Level 9."
"Yuwen Tuo, do you have anything to say?" Xu Jiujiu looked at Yuwen Tuo. "I'm not saying I don't believe you, but can you provide evidence that this data has been tampered with?"
In the hidden private box, Vina's mind martial spirit rapidly churned. She lightly tapped her finger and smiled, "As expected of Sister Jiujiu. Her intelligence-gathering ability is truly excellent. She sent someone to investigate Heaven Dou so quickly. But that city is still the territory of my Heaven Dou Empire. Shrek, aren't you just playing tricks? Who can't do that?"
Clearly, this astute princess was well-prepared for this as well!
