Leaving Douluo for No Reason

The Heaven Spirit Academy contestants saw this and their legs went weak with fright. Did it have to be this terrifying? Just by releasing Soul Power, she had sent a Soul Douluo flying? How the hell were they supposed to fight?

It was not just the people from Heaven Spirit Academy who felt despair. Of everyone present, how many could avoid being shocked? The contestants from the other academies looked ashen-faced. Ma Xiaotao’s strength left them without even the slightest thought of resisting.

Then a question appeared in everyone’s minds: was this competition even going to continue…

Ma Xiaotao immediately realized that she had blasted someone away and quickly apologized. "Um, sorry. I didn’t notice just now."

The Emperor of Star Luo spoke. "Shrek Academy, it’s time for you to take the field."

Ma Xiaotao nodded. There were six matches in total: three one-on-ones, two two-on-twos, and one seven-on-seven. Ma Xiaotao looked at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, you go first."

Huo Yuhao gave a slight nod before walking onto the Soul Arena. Seeing that it was not Ma Xiaotao taking the field, the Heaven Spirit Academy students all let out a sigh of relief.

Huo Yuhao had not needed weapons before, but after cultivating the Fight Heaven Battle Art, weapons had become indispensable. His weapon was simply a wooden staff.

Seeing Huo Yuhao’s weapon, his opponent froze for a moment. "A wooden staff? That’s not your Martial Soul, right? Aren’t you using a metal longstaff?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "No need. A wooden staff is enough."

Huo Yuhao’s Fight Heaven Battle Art had reached the Fight Immortal level, and his control over weapons was immensely powerful. Even with a wooden staff, as long as he circulated his Soul Power properly, its might would be no weaker than that of a metal staff.

The man immediately released his Soul Rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple—four rings, a Soul Ancestor.

The two stood facing each other, neither making the first move. After a while, the spectators were dumbfounded. What were these two doing? Playing Red Light, Green Light?

The man also asked in confusion, "Um, why haven’t you released your Soul Rings yet? If you don’t release them, wouldn’t attacking you mean I’m taking advantage of you?"

"Uh… I don’t release Soul Rings. Come on." Huo Yuhao gave a bitter smile.

Actually, after being taught by Su Yu for so long, Huo Yuhao and the others rarely used their own soul skills anymore. They barely even used their Martial Souls. They just fought their way across the world with long weapons…

The man was dumbfounded, and so were the spectators. Were Shrek Academy’s people monsters? No, they were clearly idiots… well, slightly idiotic monsters!

Huo Yuhao’s opponent’s Martial Soul was a broadsword. His first Soul Ring lit up, and red flames immediately appeared along the blade.

"Watch out!" the man called before raising his saber and slashing directly at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was extremely fast. He swung his longstaff, instantly moving out of the broadsword’s attack range before sweeping the staff toward him.

To be honest, the man did not care much. How badly could a wooden staff hurt when it hit someone? He could not even be bothered to defend.

Then tragedy struck. The longstaff landed on him with a thunderous boom, sending him flying more than a hundred meters away. He rolled off the Soul Arena, and the entire venue fell silent, because Huo Yuhao had not used his Martial Soul or soul skills from beginning to end!

Looking at the person he had sent flying, Huo Yuhao was also somewhat confused. Was this guy a little stupid? My longstaff was already right in front of him, yet he actually did not defend.

The next match soon began. Tang Wutong took the field for the second match, wielding a long spear. She likewise did not use her Martial Soul or soul skills and quickly defeated her opponent. Then Bei Bei took the field for the third match. He used a halberd and still defeated his opponent without using his Martial Soul or soul skills.

Just like that, the three three-on-three matches quickly ended. Yet there was not a single cheer from the crowd, because the entire match had felt utterly bizarre…

Some influential and powerful figures stared blankly at Shrek Academy’s waiting area. These people were even stranger than monsters! They were already this incredible without using Martial Souls or soul skills!

After watching the match between Shrek and Heaven Spirit Academy, the spectators and the other teams were utterly baffled. However, after returning, some people realized something was off. They suddenly remembered the Fight Heaven Pavilion from a thousand years ago…

Many immediately began guessing that the people participating in this tournament might be disciples or descendants of those big shots from the Fight Heaven Pavilion…

Even if they were not disciples or descendants, they definitely had some connection to the Fight Heaven Pavilion. That very night, many people rushed to the hotel to visit Shrek Academy’s contestants.

A large group sat in a hall. The many Soul Douluos and Titled Douluos smiled warmly as they fawned over Ma Xiaotao and the others, while Su Yu was neglected off to the side. How could Ma Xiaotao and the others not understand what these people were thinking? Seeing this, they all found it rather amusing.

The real big shot was sitting right beside them, yet instead of currying favor with him, these people were surrounding a bunch of students. What were they doing?

By around nine that night, those people were still shamelessly lingering there. Su Yu was speechless. With a wave of his hand, he directly threw them all outside the hotel.

At the hotel entrance, a group of people suddenly appeared. They were initially dumbfounded, but soon broke into excited smiles. "That’s it, it has to be! Other than the Fight Heaven Pavilion, who else could send us straight outside the hotel in an instant? We must take good care of those academy students! Our rise to greatness is just around the corner!"

Although Su Yu was inside the hotel, he could still hear what they were saying outside. When he heard that, he truly wanted to slap them all to death. Rise to greatness? Why didn’t they just fly into the sky?

The rest of the tournament was completely uninteresting. No one could defeat Shrek’s group at all. Just like that, Shrek Academy somehow took first place for no apparent reason.

When they left Star Luo City, everyone complained that it had been a waste of time. If the other teams had heard that, they would have been furious.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Su Yu suddenly had the urge to leave the Douluo Continent world. Huo Yuhao and the others no longer needed him at all, and there seemed to be no fun in staying here. After thinking it over, Su Yu informed Tang Wutong and the others, then left Douluo Continent and arrived in the God Realm.

God Realm

Mao Jiu and Su Yiyi were enjoying a leisurely life in the God Realm. Su Yu did not know exactly how old Mao Jiu was. Perhaps because she had visited too many places before, Mao Jiu actually wanted to stay in the God Realm forever.

After all, Su Yuxi, Xiao Wu, and the others were in the God Realm. Mao Jiu felt that living here peacefully was quite nice. Mao Jiu could stay idle, but Su Yu and Su Yiyi could not. Su Yiyi would occasionally run off to have fun in Su Yu’s Raincoat World, while Su Yu had read so many novels, watched so much anime, and seen so many dramas that he naturally wanted to visit those worlds too.

Because I had stopped updating for too long and was only now picking this back up, I no longer had much feeling for writing the Peerless Tang Sect world. And honestly, I had not written it very well either, so I decided to leave this world and move on to the next one.

I had been writing mid-level and high-level martial worlds for too long and was getting tired of them, so the next world would probably be a low-level martial world, perhaps a wuxia world.
