Chapter 81 The Three Ghosts of the Huang Family (Subscribe)
"I declare Zhao Tao the winner and he advances to the quarterfinals!"
Looking at this dangerous scene, the soul master acting as referee also hurriedly declared Zhao Tao's victory.
After all, his job is to ensure that there are as few casualties as possible in the competition.
"I didn't expect that I would lose!"
"Zhao Tao, you are indeed a strong man. In the future, I will definitely surpass you!"
Although he was defeated by Zhao Tao, Jiang Xiu did not look disappointed. Instead, his eyes were full of respect and fighting spirit.
"Well, I welcome your challenge."
"However, I suggest you not to target me, otherwise... your heart will definitely be broken!"
After leaving these words, Zhao Tao turned around gracefully and walked off the stage amid the applause of the audience.
"Brother Tao, you are so handsome!"
"Yeah, I heard that he's Tianhai City's top seed and a favorite to win the championship! Brother Tao, you're truly my forever idol!"
Seeing Zhao Tao return to the rest area, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi and other students from Class Zero surrounded Zhao Tao, their faces full of admiration.
"It's just so-so, just a normal performance. Let's go back to the hotel."
"We'll take a break at noon and plan our tactics, as we'll have a team competition in the afternoon.
Facing the crowd's gazes that seemed to be worshiping a god, Zhao Tao just smiled modestly, returned to Gu Yue's side, gently took her hand, and walked towards the hotel.
After a lunch break, the afternoon team competition went on as scheduled.
This round of competition is contested by Gu Yue, Zhao Tao and Xie Xie.
Their opponent is a team from the Soul Master Academy of Hanhai City. Hanhai City, like Tianhai City, is also one of the five first-tier cities in the East China Sea region.
In previous years' Soul Master Competitions, their results were second only to Tianhai City, and they were generally ranked in the top three.
However, a team from the Hanhai City Soul Master Academy also participated in the seven-person competition.
Those who stayed to participate in the three-person competition were just members of the second team.
Even so, the team from Hanhai City was composed of three Soul Masters who cooperated extremely well and were obviously well prepared.
Of course, good cooperation between soul masters can often produce the effect of "one plus one is greater than two".
But Douluo Continent is ultimately a world where the strong are respected.
Absolute strength is enough to crush all alliances and schemes of the weak.
Although the cultivation level of the second team of Hanhai City seems to be strong.
But in terms of strength, they are real dwarfs!
Even though Zhao Tao and Gu Yue haven't given their all yet.
But in just less than half a minute, they swept the Hanhai City Second Team, won the game, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
"Brother Tao, Brother Tao, you and Sister Guyue have both successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. How about we go out for dinner together to celebrate?"
Looking at Zhao Tao's victory, Tang Wulin also made a proposal excitedly.
Although the hotel's buffet is good, the portions are limited.
Recalling the seafood feast he had when he first arrived in Tianhai City, Tang Wulin also wanted to "get some money" from Zhao Tao.
"We're only in the quarterfinals, not the champions. What's there to celebrate?"
"I see, Wulin, Wulin, you are greedy!"
Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao patted him on the shoulder and immediately revealed his little thoughts.
"Brother Tao, you really understand me, hehe!"
Seeing that his little trick was exposed, Tang Wulin scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Although we haven't won the Soul Master Competition yet, Brother Tao, didn't you win the forging competition? Isn't that worth celebrating?"
Then, he looked at Zhao Tao expectantly and argued.
"Well, since we're here, it would be a shame if we didn't try some of Tianhai City's delicious food. So, I'll treat you to another good meal!"
"Wulin, do you think Brother Tao treats you well?"
Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled and agreed to his request. After all, he had to play the role of Tang Wulin's big brother well.
As the eldest brother, it is also necessary to take care of the younger brothers and cultivate their kindness.
"Yeah, long live Brother Tao!"
Amidst Tang Wulin's cheers.
Class Zero set off in a mighty procession, embarking on a hearty food tour.
By the time we finished this sumptuous dinner, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
After having a satisfying meal and drinking their fill, the members of Class Zero were contentedly on their journey back to the hotel. Just as they were passing a less-traveled street.
A dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the alley beside the street, emitting a terrifying and gloomy dark aura. It rushed towards Xu Xiaoyan, trying to snatch Xu Xiaoyan away. "Xiaoyan, be careful, there is an attack!"
Looking at the black shadow that suddenly appeared, Zhao Tao's mind moved, and the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul appeared at lightning speed, and the second circle of purple soul ring on his body flashed!
"A moment of beauty!"
The Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Spirit in his hand gently flapped its wings, and two waves of time enveloped Xu Xiaoyan and the black shadow that suddenly appeared respectively.
With the help of Zhao Tao's soul skills, the figure's speed also slowed down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a silver light flashed from Gu Yue's body, and the space teleportation was activated, sending Xu Xiaoyan to a safe area. "Huh, huh, that was a close call! I was almost captured!"
"Who on earth dares to attack us?"
Although he had escaped the risk of being suddenly abducted, Xu Xiaoyan's face was still pale, and he was breathing heavily, looking frightened.
At this time, everyone in Class Zero also saw the attacker's appearance clearly.
This is a middle-aged man around forty years old.
He was tall and thin, with a pale complexion from not seeing the sun for a long time, and his fingers were thin and slender, with sharp gray-black nails, like a vampire.
His hair was sparse and gray, hanging in a messy pattern. There was an old scar on his face that ran diagonally from his brow to the corner of his mouth, making him look very scary. His whole body exuded an evil and gloomy aura. The moment he appeared, the air seemed to turn cold.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect my luck to be so good today!"
Looking at the group of people from Class Zero who were protecting Xu Xiaoyan, the middle-aged man with a very handsome appearance had sinister and greedy eyes flashing, like a vulture looking for prey.
"The three ghosts of the Huang family!"
Looking at the figure in the distance, Xie Xie suddenly exclaimed and recognized the identity of the middle-aged man!
The three Huang family ghosts are a notorious group of evil soul masters that have appeared in Tianhai City in the past year.
Including three brothers: Huang Chang, Huang Gong and Huang Wei.
Because their martial spirits are all related to ghosts, they are also known as the "Three Ghosts of the Huang Family".
During this year, at least one hundred cases of disappearance of young women in Tianhai City were related to them.
Among these missing girls, there are even several soul master seeds!
It was obvious that these girls had become the blood food of the three martial spirits, or sacrifices to the evil god!
