Chapter 153: Hu Liena's Declaration of War
A new day dawned, and the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament finally began across Spirit City.
As a member of the first team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Pei Qing naturally appeared here.
At the same time, many other teams also arrived.
Under the expectant gazes of countless spectators, the contemporary Pope, Bibi Dong, gracefully emerged from the tunnel.
The noble and beautiful Bibi Dong instantly drew countless cheers the moment she appeared.
"Is that His Holiness the Pope? She's truly beautiful…"
Listening to the praises around him, Pei Qing couldn't help but nod.
Bibi Dong's appearance was indeed flawless; in this era, saying she was among the top five wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The only pity was that her mind was a bit off; she was completely insane.
Bibi Dong's madness was, to some extent, related to the Rakshasa God, but the Rakshasa God was not the primary cause.
The Rakshasa God, as the name suggests, is a deity who controls desires. To become the Rakshasa God, one must first fall into the deepest desires.
Bibi Dong is currently at this stage; only when she fully lets go of her desires and controls them can she become a god.
The reason the Rakshasa God chose Bibi Dong was precisely because of her extraordinary desires.
If Bibi Dong hadn't had such intense desires, she probably wouldn't have attracted the Rakshasa God's attention.
After all, the God Realm controls many Lower Realms, and there are only so many First-Rank Gods.
If Bibi Dong's desires weren't strong, the Rakshasa God wouldn't have noticed her at all.
In this sense, Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa God can be considered mutually achieved by each other.
If either of them had lacked even a little, the Bibi Dong of today wouldn't exist.
So, blaming the Rakshasa God entirely is quite unfair to her.
"I declare that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament now begins!"
With Bibi Dong's command, numerous colorful soul skills shot into the sky, bursting forth with dazzling light.
"The first match: Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Star Luo Zheng Tian Academy."
"The second match: Star Luo Royal Academy's second team versus Sky Water Academy."
"The third match: Spirit Halloween Academy versus Blazing Fire Academy…"
As the finals began, the atmosphere at the scene immediately grew restless.
The first match is indeed ours, thought Pei Qing. He glanced at Dugu Yan and Ah Yin, and without hesitation, prepared to step onto the arena.
"Pei Qing, I hope your strength won't disappoint me!"
"The humiliation you brought us last time, we will return it all to you now!"
Just as Pei Qing was about to approach the arena, three figures suddenly approached, led by Hu Liena.
At this moment, she had a cold expression, speaking indifferently and confidently.
Having absorbed a fifty-thousand-year soul bone, Hu Liena now felt terrifyingly strong.
She believed that making Pei Qing submit to her Charm was now inevitable.
"Hu Liena, you are very confident, but the only pity is that your eyesight isn't very good!"
"The gap between you and me is vast, something your shallow understanding cannot grasp."
Pei Qing smiled and strode onto the arena.
"Damn it, how arrogant!"
Yan clenched his fist suddenly, heat radiating from his arm, and drops of magma began to fall.
"Yan, don't get agitated. The more arrogant he is, the greater our chances of winning!"
Xie Yue sneered. Although Pei Qing was strong, he hadn't made a move last time.
With the combined strength of the Golden Generation trio, it was impossible to lose against a single Pei Qing!
"Little Brother, who are those three people? They seem hostile toward you!"
"Are they always so brave, despite being so weak?"
Di Mingli leaned closer to Pei Qing, asking with some surprise.
"They just don't understand the gap between their strength and mine."
Pei Qing shook his head, dismissing Hu Liena and the others.
"Damn that Pei Qing! Why is he participating in this tournament?"
"This is simply a violation! Can his strength even be considered that of a Soul Master of the same generation?!"
Not far away, at the Star Luo Zheng Tian Academy's second team, Yu Xiaogang, as the team leader, gritted his teeth and expressed his dissatisfaction.
He was restless, eager to report Pei Qing.
A clumsy move, a brilliant move—yet it would be better to raise a hand!
If he could successfully report it, that would be a huge advantage for them.
"Master, the competition only specifies age, but it doesn't restrict cultivation. So, no matter how strong Pei Qing's cultivation is, we can't do anything about it," Zhao Wuji, acting as a guard nearby, said helplessly.
In his opinion, this competition was pointless, as Pei Qing could even defeat Liu Erlong and Flender.
Such strength against some thirty- to forty-level opponents was simply crushing.
"Hmph, he's just relying on talent. Sooner or later, he'll pay the price for his arrogance."
Yu Xiaogang said coldly, clearly displeased.
"This…" Zhao Wuji was somewhat speechless. He didn't know what to say.
Is having good talent also a mistake? He even criticizes that...
"Teacher, don't worry. With the seven-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill you taught us, I believe we won't lose!"
Tang San was very confident. After experimenting with the full fusion of all seven, he could even summon the Clear Sky True Body.
This year, he had learned countless ways to use the Clear Sky Hammer from his grand-uncle.
It was time for Pei Qing to pay the price and show what the true Clear Sky True Body was!
"I have confidence in all of you; your future holds boundless brilliance."
Yu Xiaogang said with satisfaction, believing that confidence could even enhance combat ability.
Then he turned his gaze toward the arena.
As a renowned theoretical master on the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang intended to observe Pei Qing's combat, hoping to find his weaknesses.
Having studied a great deal of Spirit Hall's theoretical knowledge, he was confident he could discern the weaknesses of any Martial Soul.
As both sides ascended the stage, the battle was imminent...
Star Luo Zheng Tian Academy, having reached the finals, possessed considerable strength.
The entire team included two Soul Ancestors and five Soul Elders—a configuration comparable to the Five Elements Academy.
However, in Pei Qing's eyes, such strength was nothing.
Soon, a scene left the audience dumbfounded.
Pei Qing led his team to the edge of the arena, leaving only Ah Yin and Dugu Yan behind.
What does this mean?
Are they planning to fight the Star Luo Zheng Tian Academy, which reached the finals, with just two people?
"Damn it, you're looking down on us too much?!"
The captain of Zheng Tian Academy roared, and instantly, his Martial Soul possessed him!
