The earlier misfortune of the Boxing King Douluo was still vivid in her mind. It was fine for her to lose this round of the competition, but it would be a huge loss if her three-word battle armor was destroyed!

  Both of them were caught in something like a war of attrition. No one could ascertain Ye Xinglan’s current condition, but her attack seemed to be as unstoppable as the tide. On the other hand, Li Mengjie’s domain and defense had begun to weaken gradually. After the three explosions, she had passed her zenith and was in the process of waning.

  The people below were watching the battle in the sky nervously. It was possible for anyone to achieve the final victory at this moment.

  All of a sudden, Li Mengjie heaved a sigh as if she had made a tough decision. She swung her right arm and conjured a stretch of crystal-clear radiance which came splashing out from her palm. It was a cape that was almost transparent. It covered her body in an instant and enshrouded around her entire person.

  At once, something peculiar occurred. The streams of starlight that landed on her body were bounced away by the cape in succession leaving her unharmed.

  Then, the cape beamed out a radiance that transformed into a shield of light. It surrounded and protected Li Mengjie. There was no way the starlight could penetrate the shield regardless of how hard it charged at her.

  It was a divine weapon!

  Tang Wulin was immediately stunned. There was no doubt that the cape utilized by Li Mengjie was a divine weapon, specifically a defense-type.

  It was not his first time seeing a divine weapon from the Spirit Pagoda. There was no doubt that the Spirit Pagoda was the best on the entire continent when it came to financial and material resources.

  The Witch Douluo Li Mengjie had originated from an ancient clan that had been tied to the Spirit Pagoda for thousands of years. The inner secrets of her clan were rich and profound. The Goddess Cloak was their greatest treasure.

  However, the requirements for using the Goddess Cape were extremely strict. For every occasion it was used, it would need to recharge for one year. The clan would only use it as a last resort.

  Ye Xinglan’s attack was being completely blocked due to the protection of the Goddess Cape.

  A few minutes had passed before the starlight began to lessen. There was a flash of light, and the Pitch Darkness vanished. Ye Xinglan was floating in the sky, her face slightly pale.

  Her grip on the Stargod Sword in her hand remained as firm as ever. She took a deep breath and unleashed the starlight once again.

  Despite knowing that the opponent had a divine weapon, she did not have any intention of giving up.

  Even so, Li Mengjie made a move at that point.

  She tossed the dagger in her hand into the air and it transformed into a white veil that blotted out the sky and covered the earth in an instant. She waved the staff in her right hand, and nine glowing phantoms suddenly appeared in midair. The phantoms took the form of nine witches.

  The white veil rolled and fluttered in the air while the nine witches pointed toward Ye Xinglan simultaneously.

  A piercing radiance shot toward Ye Xinglan at lightning speed. Nine beams of radiance had arrived at her side almost in unison.

  Ye Xinglan swung the Stargod Sword and it burst forth with its sword’s consciousness. However, each of the nine beams of light was filled with a terrifying energy. Some of the energy was spinning in a clockwise direction while some was spinning anticlockwise. Every attack was quite different from the other. It felt as if each one was filled with enough power to destroy Heaven and Earth.

  It was the Devil Nine Fingers! It was Li Mengjie’s ninth soul skill and also a technique she had stowed away for emergency purposes.

  In addition to the white veil fluttering in the air, the combined attack was known as the Heaven Evilness Rolls, Devil Nine Fingers!

  It was an attack formed by drawing in the most powerful evil energy between Heaven and Earth. The outburst was akin to a last resort for Li Mengjie.

  Ye Xinglan’s Stargod Sword was constantly swaying due to the bombardment of the Nine Fingers. Her body had begun to sway as well.

  Finally, a beam of radiance struck her left shoulder. Ye Xinglan gave out a muffled cry and fell backward.

  The Heaven Evilness rolled upward and tightly tied up Ye Xinglan in a split second. Ye Xinglan found that she was surrounded by glowing phantoms, and the dagger had already made its way to the area between her brows.

  The victory and defeat of the battle were already determined!

  The opponents gazed into each other’s eyes. There was a strange expression on the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie’s contrasting facial features making her look even more peculiar.

  “Little girl, you did really well. This battle has not been a glorious victory for me. Perhaps, I would have lost without the Goddess Cape. Can you please tell me, what is the name of your skill that you used to trap me earlier?”


  Ye Xinglan said expressionlessly, “The Shifting Stars.”


  Yes, it was her eighth soul skill, the Shifting Stars!

  With her Starry Sky and Stargod Sword Body, Ye Xinglan unleashed the Swordstar Soul first to burst out with a powerful offensive, and she then launched the Shifting Stars to duplicate the stars and galaxies so that she could produce a comprehensive attack. The move was Ye Xinglan’s all-out attack.

  The power of this technique was terrifying.

  Li Mengjie nodded. “There’s a saying that goes ‘the waves in the Yangtze River drive on those ahead’. The future belongs to all of you.” She retracted her Heaven Evilness Rolls, turned around and left.

  There was a look of lonesomeness in Ye Xinglan’s eyes. She descended from the sky and landed on Shrek’s side once again.

  Tang Wulin quickly welcomed her. “It’s alright. The opponent had a divine weapon.”


  Ye Xinglan did not look at him and just muttered to herself, “My soul power is insufficient. I was unable to continue with my ninth soul skill. If I could have, the result may have been somewhat different.”


  Tang Wulin was speechless. Ye Xinglan was a combat fanatic, so it was to be expected that her train of thought was quite different from an ordinary person’s.

  The score was three to three!

  The score after the six rounds of one-on-one battles was three to three. Both sides were equally matched.

  However, judging by the look of things, Shrek Academy appeared to have the upper hand, especially when the participant from Shrek Academy had actually compelled the Witch Douluo to use her divine weapon during the final round of the match. Just as Li Mengjie had said, the match was not a glorious victory for her.

  The seventh round of the contest was also the final round of the one-on-one battles.

  Tang Wulin walked out from his side while Qiangu Dongfeng had also walked out from the opposite end.

  “Is the Tang Sect Master planning to participate in the battle personally?” Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Tang Wulin with a smile.

  Li Mengjie had still won the battle anyhow. It was a victory for the Spirit Pagoda regardless of how the victory was achieved. In Qiangu Dongfeng’s opinion, that was enough.

  Tang Wulin smiled calmly. “If Pagoda Master Qiangu is participating in the battle then I will keep you company, of course. I wonder if Pagoda Master Qiangu is willing to guide me or not.”


  Qiangu Dongfeng burst out laughing aloud. “Why not? Since the Sect Master is planning to give up on winning this round, naturally, I think that I should keep you company.”


  Tang Wulin said, “Please go ahead.”


  Qiangu Dongfeng leaped up and flew toward the sky without the slightest hesitation. He was a Limit Douluo. In his eyes, Tang Wulin could never possibly be a match for him in a one-on-one battle, no matter how great his abilities. In the Joust For A Spouse Festival earlier, did he not lose to Gu Yuena, huh?

  In fact, Gu Yuena was not even a real Limit Douluo yet. If he could defeat Tang Wulin in this battle, his side would have a clear advantage regardless of the opponent’s age, identity and position.

  However, as Qiangu Dongfeng leaped into the sky, another silhouette from Shrek Academy’s side did so as well.

  Moreover, the person had only leaped up for dozens of meters into the air before he landed on the ground. He said smilingly, “I accept my defeat! I accept my defeat!”


  This man had been standing near the back of the lineup on Shrek Academy’s side earlier. In fact, no one had even noticed his presence.

  He had an extremely ordinary appearance. Leave alone the Spirit Pagoda, not many of Shrek Academy’s high-ranking officials were acquainted with him.

  “Uh, Uncle Lee, what are you doing here?” Tang Wulin’s face had turned concerned. He swiftly stepped forth and pulled the man back after he had landed.

  The man looked to be in his fifties. He had a rather aged appearance and was dressed in extremely simple, unsophisticated clothing.

  As he watched Tang Wulin pull him, he cracked into a bitter smile and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Pavilion Master. I’m also part of Shrek, so I thought I was going to do my part for the academy too?”


  “Uncle Lee, you……” Tang Wulin had a gloomy expression.

  Uncle Lee heaved a sigh and said, “But I had no choice when I saw that he was so powerful! I am incapable of fighting him! Therefore, I could only admit my defeat.”


  Tang Wulin spoke with a gloomy expression, “Uncle Lee, you aren’t a spy sent from the Spirit Pagoda, are you?”


  Uncle Lee shook his head profusely. “No, no, of course not. I’ve been guarding Shrek Academy’s main door for three decades. I’m afraid I would have been buried together with Shrek if I had not happened to be on leave during the great catastrophe. I came rushing over at once during the reconstruction of Shrek. Pavilion Master, don’t accuse me of being something I’m not!”


  Still in midair, Qiangu Dongfeng was also all confused. What was happening there? Could it be that this person was truly a spy sent over from his side? Yet, he had never heard of this before!

  No, that was not right!

  All of a sudden, Qiangu Dongfeng realized the problem in this case, but Tang Wulin had already raised his head and looked toward him before he could even say anything. Tang Wulin said with a recalcitrant tone, “We accept our defeat. You have won this round, Pagoda Master Qiangu, but it’s not a glorious victory for you because you’ve only triumphed over Shrek’s gatekeeper.”


  Qiangu Dongfeng descended from the sky and said in rage, “Tang Wulin, this is obviously a cunning scheme of yours. I bet you don’t have the courage to fight against me, do you?”


  Tang Wulin scoffed coldly. “Pagoda Master Qiangu, an honest man doesn’t deal underhand. We shall look into Uncle Lee’s incident properly after this. Perhaps, you would like to accept your defeat this round and take it that I’ve fought against you? If not, shall you then continue to participate in the following battle?”
