As a result, he had always gone all out and put in more effort than anybody else. Every member of the Shrek Seven Monsters was quite outstanding. Everybody envied them because they had managed to elevate themselves to their realms at a very young age. That being the case, every single one of them had a backstory. Only they, themselves, were aware of how much effort and hard work they had put into their cultivation in order to achieve what they had.
The bamboo steamer in the sky was both a coincidence and necessity. It was the product of Xu Lizhi’s painstaking cultivation for so many years. He had always known that he was not a soul master with a talent for combat, so he would need to take a different path if he wanted to possess fighting abilities that surpassed others.
“Boom!”
An even louder booming noise echoed from the sky. The bamboo steamer’s lid was lifted abruptly.
Qiangu Dongfeng took a step forward subconsciously. ‘Has the Boxing King Douluo freed himself?’
Everyone including Qiangu Dongfeng saw that it was not a man that surged skyward out of the bamboo steamer, but an enormous purple black bean bun.
The bun was tossed out and dropped from the clouds before crashing to the ground. Upon impact, a violent explosion was produced that made the earth tremble and the mountains sway!
In the sky, Xu Lizhi revealed his figure once again. His battle armor was already retracted and he was clearly looking paler. However, his fists were tightly clenched while his eyes were filled with excitement.
A man, unconscious, could be seen inside the deep crater created by the exploding bun. He was, of course, the Boxing King Douluo.
He was in a truly wretched condition. The battle armor on his body was in a hideous mess, and many parts of it were damaged. Even the parts that were not crushed by the blast had dents all over the surface. He appeared as miserable as one could imagine.
The corners of Xu Lizhi’s lips curled up. He sniggered as he descended from the sky and returned to his side.
The victory of the fifth round went to Shrek Academy.
The score was three to two now.
If one were to say that the earlier matches went as expected, and the only thing not foreseen was that the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo had missed a chance to confront the Holy Spirit Douluo strength for strength, then this battle had gone far beyond what anyone thought would happen.
A Hyper Douluo was defeated by a Soul Douluo. Such an occurrence was almost unheard of across the entire continent. More importantly, the opponent was just a food-type soul master which made the situation even more unbelievable.
In fact, even the Boxing King Douluo Da Mo had no idea how he lost.
The battle between the two sides was halted temporarily. The Hyper Douluo had only slowly regained consciousness after receiving emergency treatment from a recovery-type soul master.
When he saw the hideous mess on his body that was the severely damaged three-word battle armor, his eyes rolled back and he passed out once again.
The loss was truly disastrous! Even if the three-word battle armor could be repaired, it could not possibly restored to its original condition, and its power would certainly reduce given the extent of the damage.
“Pagoda Master Qiangu, shall we continue?” asked Tang Wulin with a smile.
Qiangu Dongfeng had a gloomy expression. “Of course. Don’t think that you will stand a chance just like that.”
“Three, two, one, begin!”
It was the sixth round!
One person rose up each from the lineups on both sides. A pleasant humming sound was heard echoing in the sky as the person from Shrek Academy’s side began to fly. It was as if something had been awakened. The humming voice sounded clear, melodious and vigorous. The voice echoed in midair and spread through the entire sky.
A woman flew up from Spirit Pagoda’s side. She was a spiriter from the Spirit Pagoda. Just like the Boxing King Douluo, she was one of the members of the Spirit Pagoda organization.
She had wrinkled skin, deep eyes, sparse white hair and there was a tumor on her forehead. Her appearance could be described as hideous beyond comparison.
Her back was hunched when she flew into the air. Had it not been for her ability to control the flight, there was no way one could tell that this was what a powerhouse looked like.
On the other hand, the person that flew into the sky from Shrek Academy’s side was the owner of the Stargod Sword martial soul, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, Ye Xinglan.
She gave Xu Lizhi a gentle hug before she got up. She did not praise him, but her warm embrace was enough to enchant the chubby boy.
Ye Xinglan’s entire body unleashed a special aura as she was floating in the sky. Whereas Xu Lizhi’s aura was thick and heavy, hers was light and graceful. The soft humming sound was coming from her body. It sounded like someone cheering in excitement.
Ye Xinglan’s eyes were crystal clear while her long hair was tied into a french braid behind her head. Her entire person appeared to be neat and clean.
The old woman looked at her with a deep gaze from the opposite side. “I’m Li Mengjie from the Spirit Pagoda.”
It was a very pleasant name that was truly not a good match to her visage. However, everyone could not help being shocked as soon as they heard her introduce herself.
This was a very famous person, of course. This was because she was the spiriter from the previous generation. After her retirement, she remained as one of the thirty-six elders of the Spirit Pagoda.
The Qiangu Clan was a major player within the Spirit Pagoda with a long history. It was the first great clan, but it was defined not the only powerful one.
Even the mighty Qiangu Clan was only controlling eleven seats out of the thirty-six elders of the Spirit Pagoda at the moment. Of course, this was already a sign of absolute dominance. However, some of the important matters in the organization would still need to be discussed with the other members. All of these members had played a decisive role in the Spirit Pagoda and they were deep in the organization.
Li Mengjie was one of these people that belonged to the highest administrative level in the Spirit Pagoda. She had already retired thirty years ago, so she was basically of the same generation as the Holy Spirit Douluo and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. However, she was not the kind of person that gave much attention to her looks, and she had never consumed any heaven and earth treasures. As a result, she appeared old and frail.
She was the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie!
When she was young, she was savagely rejected by a man she loved due to her lack of beauty. This had resulted in her change of temperament afterward where she found joy in tampering with men’s affection later in life.
She had a very special martial soul. She called herself a goddess, but the vast majority of people regarded her as a witch. Her ability was similar to cloning, but it was also rather akin to having multiple personalities. Her martial soul belonged to the category of special-type martial souls.
The Witch martial soul was skilled in all sorts of control-type abilities and also in close combat. She was a dual-system soul master specializing in assault-type and control-type.
In the past, Li Mengjie enjoyed playing with men’s affection by relying on her ability to entice them. She would dally with the man until he was in her grasp before she finally revealed her true appearance and found joy in the man’s fear and shock.
Quite a lot of male soul masters were hurt by her before. Eventually, Shrek Academy even paid a visit to the Spirit Pagoda specificaly so that they could order Li Mengjie to control herself because of this. Had it not been for the fact the Witch Douluo had never killed anyone, Shrek Academy might have taken against her earlier.
Afterward, it seemed that the Spirit Pagoda also thought that the Witch Douluo had gone overboard, so she was asked to retire from her position as a spiriter.
No one had expected that the Witch Douluo would come out of her retirement to challenge Shrek Academy in the day’s competition.
There was no doubt that Shrek Academy had the worst impression of this person, so her opponent from Shrek Academy would not show her any mercy.
“I’m Ye Xinglan from Shrek Academy’s inner court!” Ye Xinglan announced her name in a simple manner.
If there was an edge to her words in the past, there was now a calmness. It was something that she had never felt before. It was like the calm that came after the storm.
Li Mengjie suddenly chuckled. Her laughter sounded very pleasant to the ears. “Little girl, you’re very pretty. Come close so this old woman can take a better look.” As she spoke, she took a step forward in the sky and instantly moved hundreds of meters closer. Her emaciated palm reached for Ye Xinglan’s tender cheek.
Ye Xinglan stepped sideways. All of a sudden, a spark of starlight exploded right in front of her body and blasted the opponent’s palm away.
However, at that moment, someone else had appeared behind Ye Xinglan.
