"Your Majesty, Sect Master Ning, on behalf of Spirit Hall, I declare that Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun deliberately committed murder during the Soul Master Competition.
As the representative of the competition committee, I have decided to expel the Shrek Academy Team from the Soul Master Competition.
Tang San will no longer be under the protection of the competition committee.
Sect Master Ning, you'd best not interfere!"
Salas suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping across the others on the VIP stage.
He saw this as an opportunity—an opportunity to kill Tang Hao.
Just how powerful was Yu Yuanzhen in his rage?
At the very least, Yu Yuanzhen was a complete Super Douluo in strength.
Tang Hao, on the other hand, was injured, already bleeding in the sky.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Yuanzhen might have weighed the pros and cons, unwilling to fight to the death, because even if he killed Tang Hao, he himself would be injured and might face retaliation from the Clear Sky Sect.
But the current Yu Yuanzhen, consumed by fury, cared for none of that.
Attacking recklessly despite his injuries, he sought only the deaths of Tang Hao and Tang San.
Moreover, Tang Xiao and the others were not present.
If no one intervened, the outcome of today's Titled Battle would likely be Yu Yuanzhen injured and Tang Hao dead.
Even if Tang Hao managed to escape, Yu Yuanzhen could still kill those young brats from Shrek Academy.
Salas's calculations were loud and clear.
However, the moment he finished speaking, Prince Xue Xing, seated in the back row, abruptly stood up.
"Platinum Bishop, do you intend to destroy Heaven Dou City?
Do not forget, the Soul Master Competition is hosted by the two great empires with Spirit Hall's assistance. All decisions by the competition committee must be jointly made by the imperial family and Spirit Hall, not dictated by you alone!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't even need to speak. Prince Xue Xing, Meng Shenji, and the others all glared at Salas with fury.
Everyone understood Spirit Hall's sinister intentions.
They wanted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Clear Sky Sect to fight to the death.
Salas, your schemes are obvious to all.
Xue Ye the Great once again looked to Ning Fengzhi, for at this moment, only Ning Fengzhi had the power to intervene.
Ning Fengzhi gave a slight nod with his eyes, and Xue Ye the Great immediately relaxed.
Among the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a staunch supporter of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Ye the Great showed a grateful expression before casting a cold glance at Salas.
He cursed inwardly—Spirit Hall truly was a vile organization.
In the sky.
Tang Hao detonated three more spirit rings.
He was prepared to fight to the death.
He had no choice!
If he didn't, his son would be killed.
The next moment, the power of the Ring Detonation clashed with Yu Yuanzhen's raging lightning.
The shockwaves of their battle surged downward.
The entire Great Soul Arena trembled on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a silent message before simultaneously releasing their auras.
The two unleashed their Weapon Soul Avatar and Martial Soul Avatar respectively.
A colossal bone dragon and a razor-sharp sword light intercepted Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Hao's attacks.
Thus, the scenes of Bone Dragon Descent and Giant Sword Across the Sky appeared.
"You're helping Tang Hao?!" Yu Yuanzhen roared in fury.
He glared at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo with rage.
Sword Douluo frowned and said, "Clan Leader Yu, you've lost your composure. Below us are eighty thousand spectators, and His Majesty and the Crown Prince are present. Do you truly wish to destroy this place?"
"Tang San has killed my grandsons one after another—he must die!"
Yu Yuanzhen remained resolute, utterly unmoved.
"Clan Leader Yu, no one could have anticipated Yu Tianxin's death. Whether Tang San acted deliberately still requires confirmation from the tournament organizing committee. Please trust in the fairness of the committee formed by Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!" Ning Fengzhi spoke calmly from the VIP stage below.
Though his voice wasn't loud, all the powerful figures present could hear him clearly.
Yu Yuanzhen glared coldly at Ning Fengzhi, his face like ice: "Tang San must die. This matter has nothing to do with your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Are you certain you want to interfere?"
Dragon-shaped lightning crackled around his body, radiating terrifying pressure as if he might strike at any moment.
After a brief silence, Ning Fengzhi responded: "Clan Leader Yu, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Spirit Hall will undoubtedly deliver justice for Yu Tianxin!"
He had made up his mind. The relationship between Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was bound to deteriorate sharply.
The lightning around Yu Yuanzhen crackled violently, reflecting his furious heart.
"Good! Very good! Sect Leader Ning, I hope you won't regret today's decision! I'll be waiting for your so-called justice!"
With a thunderous boom in the sky, Yu Yuanzhen vanished in a flash of lightning. He now held Ning Fengzhi in equal contempt.
From this moment onward, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be sworn enemies.
As Yu Yuanzhen departed, Ning Fengzhi raised his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, sending a radiant seven-colored light cascading onto Tang Hao.
"Clear Sky Crown, please leave now. Tang San cannot be taken away by you yet. The Shrek Academy Team must undergo investigation by the tournament committee!" Salas said coldly.
Tang Hao's clothes were tattered, with obvious bloodstains covering his body. Upon closer inspection, even his hands trembled slightly.
As the rainbow light merged with his body, Tang Hao experienced firsthand the power of the world's greatest Support Martial Soul. All his attributes—strength, agility, stamina, and spirit—were recovering at an astonishing rate.
Yet Tang Hao's mood remained grim. While the supportive light couldn't heal his old injuries, it significantly accelerated his recovery speed, rapidly restoring his Soul Power and physical strength.
"In Soul Duels, Soul Skills know no restraint. When both parties fight desperately, accidental deaths are inevitable. I trust the tournament committee will treat Shrek Academy Team fairly," Tang Hao said indifferently before disappearing into the sky.
With the great battle finally over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The oppressive atmosphere had made both spectators and competing Soul Masters feel death's proximity.
None had been closer to death than Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others.
"Father!" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred toward Yu Yuanzhen. His Purple Demon Eyes had seen clearly—his father was severely wounded.
Tang Hao had been injured saving him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have clashed directly with Yu Yuanzhen above the Great Soul Arena. Through this incident, Tang San realized his father had been protecting him all along, filling him with overwhelming gratitude.
"Yu Yuanzhen, you've brought death upon yourself. I will have my revenge!" Tang San vowed bitterly.
"Xiao San, thank the Crown for me. The responsibility for Yu Tianxin's death lies with me," said Dai Mubai, who had regained some strength after treatment from Healing Soul Masters.
Tang San looked at him with solemn gravity. The situation had spiraled out of control when their Martial Soul Fusion Skill proved more powerful than expected.
Ma Hongjun approached with a guilty expression, also looking at Dai Mubai. He too bore partial responsibility for Yu Tianxin's death.
His Phoenix Flame was truly formidable.
At the time, he was solely focused on winning and didn't even notice that Yu Tianxin was already powerless to resist.
"I've broken through—I'm now level 42!" Dai Mubai said calmly.
As for Yu Tianxin's death, apart from his initial surprise, he didn't feel much fear.
In a Soul Duel on the arena, deaths were inevitable.
He had never agreed with the rules of the Soul Master Competition in the first place.
