Chapter 116 A New Path, Fusion! The Gold of Life (4800)
At this moment, the crown on his head was shining with its final and most dazzling brilliance, and hundreds of thousands of eyes were focused on the invincible figure in the center of the competition stage, just like the grandest coronation ceremony.
The purple and gold shone brightly, and the emperor's power was awe-inspiring.
He slowly withdrew his arm, and in the solemn and shocking silence, he looked around Xingluo Square. No one dared to move or speak, just like an emperor inspecting his subjects.
Even on the imperial city walls, the real emperor Xu Jiawei, surrounded by magnificent ceremonial guards, was completely overshadowed by him in terms of aura.
The scene remained silent, but this silence had already signaled the end of the match.
Can we win?
Ma Xiaotao watched in silence the entire process of Kong Tianxu's sudden outburst and crushing of the Star Luo National Soul Master Academy. She abruptly stood up and said, "There's no need to watch any longer. Let's go. After dealing with Di'ao Academy, the next match will be our showdown with him."
Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen and the others also silently began to move, their hearts heavy. Ma Xiaotao forcibly suppressed the urge to step forward and inquire about Kong Tianxu's condition, and turned to lead the equally shocked Shrek Academy members away.
Can we win? This question lingered in the minds of each and every one of them.
Dai Yueheng glanced at Xu Jiujiu with a strange expression. Given his familiarity with Xu Jiujiu, he had never seen her show such an expression before.
Huo Yuhao, however, had already completely immersed his mind in the sea of spirit, yet a look of surprise appeared on his face.
On the competition stage, Kong Tianxu received the Blade of Judgment from Cain, and the two clasped hands, their martial souls merging.
However, the moment the martial souls merged into one, Cain's soul power was pulverized by the chaotic and turbulent soul power flow within Kong Tianxu's body, forcing her to withdraw from the state of martial soul fusion. She looked at Kong Tianxu with a worried expression.
Kong Tianxu shook his head: "There shouldn't be any problem in the short term. Let's go back first."
Xu Tianzhen also noticed something was wrong, and quickly gathered around with Meng Hongchen and the others. They ignored Huang Jinxu, who was standing alone and looking dejected, and went straight off the stage.
The square remained deathly silent, as if it had not yet awakened from the reality of Xingluo's dramatic defeat.
Before jumping off the stage, Xiao Hongchen glanced mockingly at the silent audience, then said to Lan Xiu beside him, "Is this the semi-final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament? I think it's the Star Luo Library."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for most of the surrounding Soul Masters to hear. Whispers began to rise, and the Star Luo audience seemed to be ignited by the contempt in his words, and the clamor in the square returned.
However, they were powerless to refute this and could only place their hopes on Shrek, the Shrek who had won almost every major championship in the past ten thousand years.
Can they continue their miracle this time?
"In the first semi-final match, a team battle, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy defeated Star Luo National Academy."
J
The lifeless, dejected voice of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo rang out, signaling the complete end of today's competition.
The match itself didn't last very long, and most viewers didn't even get a clear look at Kong Tianxu's series of breakthroughs, which were the most exciting and intense moments.
However, this match was definitely the most exciting and intense team battle since the start of the tournament.
From the initial complete control of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's rhythm of the competition, to the sudden reversal in the middle, to Kong Tianxu's earth-shattering blow that shook the stars, and finally the long and grand coronation ceremony and the terrifying outburst of the crowned king.
The whole process was not only tense and exciting, but also full of ups and downs.
Even those who were merely spectators or the defeated members of the Star Luo National Academy were still somewhat shaken by the end of the match.
After a long while, her expression became complicated, and she looked at Kong Tianxu's departing figure with a slightly flushed face.
The feeling of embarrassment that had made her feel shy had disappeared. It was clear that Kong Tianxu had used his superb elemental control abilities to help her dry up, leaving her with a little bit of dignity.
Having just delivered such a brutal, tyrannical, execution-like destructive blow, and then shown such delicate tenderness, the two faces of the dragon, both demonic and divine, overlapped in her mind.
It made her heart flutter.
She is a woman with an extremely strong desire for power, and she is difficult for ordinary people to control. But once she is shattered, that is also the moment she is completely conquered.
"Xuanzi, go check on the children. Also, keep a close eye on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. See if they have any channels or means to communicate with the outside world. They must have something to rely on to dare to parade around with a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo like this."
Mu En also watched Kong Tianxu leave with a solemn expression. This extremely proud Dragon God Douluo finally gave Xuanzi a clear instruction.
Far behind them, Kong Deming withdrew his gaze from Kong Tianxu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Lang Ya touched his thinning hair, then exchanged a glance with Yu Tao, who looked eager to try, and finally decided, "Alright, let's go see what this kid is all about today, and try to take back that 100,000-year-old embryo while we're at it."
Yu Tao grinned, his thick right arm clenched into a fist, and then he nodded heavily.
Kong Tianxu ignored the commotion at Xingluo Square. After the match, he led Cain and the others straight back to the Xinghuang Hotel.
"Haha, I can't wait to see the expressions on Shrek's faces after they lose in a few days. After thousands of years, we can finally trample them under our feet."
Xiao Hongchen walked ahead, lost in his own excited fantasies, unaware of his teammates behind him with solemn expressions.
"By the way, do you guys think that if we win the championship like this, wouldn't we set a new record for the youngest person to win a championship?"
He turned his head and realized that the atmosphere was completely different from what he had imagined, and that Kong Tianxu's aura was obviously not very stable.
Along the way, his face gradually turned pale, and even the most carefree Xiao Hongchen could tell that something was wrong with him.
"Captain, are you injured?"
Xu Tianzhen glared at him, her warm hand, imbued with the power of the sun, gently stroking Kong Tianxu's back from time to time, helping him alleviate the chill brought on by the burst of murderous intent.
"I need to go into seclusion for a while."
His condition at this moment was certainly not good. Although he managed to control the chaotic collision between the alien energy and his own circulating soul power thanks to his strong physique and precise mental control, this was ultimately just a temporary measure.
The battlefield between the two sides has expanded to cover most of his body. Even if we don't discuss whether he can accept the situation caused by this stalemate, the fragile balance is likely to be broken at any time, which will further damage his body.
Therefore, fusing the metal of living beings is now of utmost urgency.
However, if the fusion is carried out in the way he envisioned, although it is estimated that it can be completed before the finals, and at the latest, it can be in time for the first team battle, the extraordinary nature of the Life Gold goes without saying, and there is a possibility that some unexpected changes may occur during the fusion process, which will inevitably delay some time.
With that in mind, he quickly made arrangements: "If I can't join the team fight in time, your priority should be to preserve yourselves and wear down the opponent as much as possible, thus prolonging the individual elimination rounds."
Although he could win against Shrek even in his current state with proper tactics, he wouldn't risk his future.
Fortunately, this was an opportunity for him, as he was still having trouble making a decision.
Ma Rulong and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance, both able to see the thoughtful look in each other's eyes.
Without Kong Tianxu, their team lost its most important offensive weapon and support, so some tactics had to be changed.
However, it was quite a coincidence that just as they reached the stairs, the Shrek Academy students came out of their room.
However, they were leaving their rooms one after another to go to the private meeting room when the two teams met at the bottom of the stairs.
Leading the way from Shrek Academy was an old man whom the group had never seen before. His appearance was rather appalling; his hair was disheveled, and his clothes, which should have been a white robe, had turned grayish-brown and were torn in several places.
The most outrageous thing was that he was holding a fragrant chicken leg in his greasy left hand, and a huge purplish-red gourd in his right hand, with obvious smell of alcohol coming from the gourd.
Upon seeing Kong Tianxu, a glint of light appeared in his hazy, drunken eyes, as if an invisible force was spreading towards him, while Old Ma's body instantly stiffened.
Level 98 Gluttonous Douluo, Sea God Pavilion, Xuanzi.
Although his intelligence sources were limited to Mingde Hall and lacked the precision of the entire national machinery of the Sun Moon Empire, leading him to believe that the other party was the strongest in Shrek Academy, this did not diminish his understanding of Xuanzi's power.
Kong Tianxu glanced at Xuanzi, seemingly ignoring his presence, and led Riyue and the others forward.
"Huh?" Xuanzi let out a soft exclamation of surprise. His probing of Kong Tianxu was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, with no response whatsoever. There was even a strange force that reversed the flow of energy, giving him the illusion that he had been completely exposed.
Seeing Kong Tianxu's pale face, Ma Xiaotao, standing in the queue, could no longer hold back and asked through the crowd, "Heavens—Kong Tianxu, it's just a battle against the Star Luo National Soul Master Academy, how did you end up like this?"
Are you alright? What did those guys from Xingluo do to you?
Kong Tianxu gave her a reassuring look, and was about to speak when Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting, you defeated opponent? Just wait and cry on the day of the finals. Even if we only send six people, we can still beat you!"
A defeated opponent?
Upon hearing this word, everyone at Shrek Academy, including Xuanzi, breathed heavily. Lately, the word "defeat" had been particularly jarring to them.
Almost everyone regarded the previous defeat against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as the greatest disgrace of their lives.
When Xiao Hongchen brought it up right away, they all felt as if their newly healed wounds had been reopened.
Huo Yuhao's expression twisted for a moment, then he seemed to have thought of something and sneered at Kong Tianxu, as if he was confident: "Kong Tianxu, I'm afraid you might not even be able to play in the finals, right? Even if you can play, how much strength can you put in? You're always second place, and you'll always be second place."

"Shrek's eternal glory will naturally return to the highest hall the moment we win the championship."
"Do you value this championship highly?"
Kong Tianxu suddenly asked.
His question caught everyone at Shrek Academy off guard, and Huo Yuhao instinctively replied, "Of course."
"I'm not here for the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Douluo Tournament," Kong Tianxu said to himself, continuing forward.
Everyone's attention, however, involuntarily followed his movements, awaiting his next words: "But since I'm here..."
"Then the championship will only exist for me."
He walked past Huo Yuhao, whose face was stiff, Ma Xiaotao, who was extremely shaken, and Xuanzi, who had put down the chicken leg in his hand, and went straight to the end of the corridor. He turned around and said, "As for you, do your best and use all means to fight for the scenery behind me."
His voice was devoid of emotion, as if he were simply stating a matter of course.
Like ants toiling in the mud, we can only look up at the dragon soaring in the sky.
Before returning to his room, he squeezed Cain and Xu Tianzhen's hands, exchanged one last glance with Ma Xiaotao, and then disappeared behind the door.
"wait for me."
silence.
a long time.
Huo Yuhao twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to look disdainful: "You're quite the smooth talker."
This time, however, even the members of the Tang Clan were unusually silent.
Xuanzi sighed, took a dejected bite of his chicken leg, and waved to Beibei and the others: "Come in first. I just checked, and he is indeed seriously injured. Considering the special circumstances of your opponent in this competition, some of the rewards can be given to you ahead of schedule."
"Let's discuss some tactics; maybe we can give the captain a surprise?"
Looking at his younger sister, whose eyes were shining with a strange light, Xiao Hongchen scratched his head with a wry smile. In some ways, he might never be able to compare to his junior brother in this lifetime.
Cain placed one hand over the doorway, exchanged a glance with Xu Tianzhen, and nodded firmly.
They will wait for him to return.
Inside his room, Kong Tianxu sat cross-legged, holding in his hand the Blade of Judgment of Life.
The blade, originally dark in color, has completely transformed into something resembling azure crystal, and the azure light it emits has become as clear as water, without a trace of impurity.
It seemed that because it had just absorbed the life force of a high-quality level seven soul tool, the green light on the blade was particularly strong. The feeling that even breathing around it made people feel full of life made Long Xiaoyao marvel.
"Grandpa, Elder Long, please guard the Star Emperor Hotel and prevent any outside interference or spying. Elder Ye, please protect me."
The top experts from the three continents all nodded. Kong Tianxu had already conveyed his thoughts to them through Ye Xishui beforehand. Now, they only needed to act according to Kong Tianxu's instructions.
"Alright, Tianxu, then Grandpa wishes you success in your first divine test in advance."
After Kong Deming finished speaking, a flash of silver light appeared, and he disappeared from the room.
Soul tools have actually developed to this point? Long Xiaoyao looked in surprise in the direction where Kong Deming disappeared. It was a way of using space that was completely different from that of a Limit Douluo like him.
"Young friend, since your life is tied to Xishui's, I won't say anything more. With me here, you can do whatever you want."
Long Xiaoyao took a step forward, and an indistinct spatial shadow appeared in front of him. He walked into it, and there was no trace of his presence left in the room.
Ye Xishui raised her hand and a pure soul power barrier covered the entire room. The gentle soul power filled the surroundings, calming Kong Tianxu's slightly tense mood.
He gripped the carving knife tightly, its warm texture and rich life force soothing his soul.
If he still couldn't achieve his vision even with the protection of three Limit Douluo-level beings, the demigod-level insight of Zhongli Yuan, and the success story of Electrolux, then there's no way he could accomplish anything more.
He stretched out his hands, his tangible yet intangible spiritual power completely merging with the carving knife, and a strange aura began to emanate from the knife itself.
In an instant, the Blade of Judgment of Life shone with a bright blue light, and an extremely rich and vigorous life force was released in the form of mist. However, under his precise control, it completely enveloped the surface of the carving knife, flowing and pulsating without leaking out in the slightest.
Kong Tianxu held the sharp tip of the carving knife directly to his chest.
Then to the left, to the heart.
Slowly descend.
close.
That's the location below the twelfth pair of ribs in the human body.
The pulsating blue light on the surface of the Blade of Judgment of Life slowly transformed into a rhythmic breathing pattern, seemingly following some kind of law under Kong Tianxu's guidance, while pure golden light gradually emerged from Kong Tianxu's body.
As you can see, his blood flow, muscle contraction, and even the relaxation of his meridians are all accelerating rapidly, and the sound of his heartbeat has become crystal clear, instead of being faintly audible.
The sound continued to grow louder, and the light emanating from the Blade of Judgment of Living Beings became increasingly rapid and intense.
The sound grew louder and more terrifying, and became increasingly dazzling with golden light, as if some kind of power was about to burst forth!
A heartbeat that was absolutely deafening!
It was like a god beating a spring drum; it was so loud that one wondered if it was a heart or a sun bursting forth!
At the same time, the azure light finally harmonized perfectly with it, and it was as if a blue sun was rising again in the room!
It's now!
The blade plunged fiercely into the azure-gold new sun, and intense pain and unparalleled life force erupted simultaneously!
