Douluo Dalu: The Legend of The Spider Emperor

Weekend Double Chapters!!

------***------

The sudden disappearance of Shi Nian threw Canghui Academy into chaos.

Not only was he their team leader, but he was also the mentor of the seven academy members. Without Shi Nian as their backbone, the entire academy fell into disarray.

Canghui Academy immediately reported Shi Nian's disappearance to the tournament committee. In response, the Heaven Dou Empire had already sent investigators to look into the matter.

Upon hearing this, Tang San, the one responsible for Shi Nian's death, remained completely unfazed.

With the "Yama's Sticker" leaving no corpse behind, the only witnesses present that night were Grandmaster, his father, and that mysterious figure.

Even if the committee investigated and suspected him, first, there was no evidence; second, Shi Nian's body no longer existed. And everyone knew that a dead man tells no tales.

A new round of battles was about to begin.

Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was packed to capacity, a sea of people filling every corner. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was undoubtedly one of the grandest events on the continent.

The audience chattered among themselves, discussing nothing other than who was stronger and who would win or lose today.

The match that drew the most attention was Shrek Academy vs. Blazing Academy.

Shrek Academy, the only team with two consecutive losses, had now fallen to the very bottom of the rankings. If they lost again today, they could pretty much say goodbye to this tournament.

Unless… they won every single match from now on.

Which, quite frankly, seemed impossible.

—

The first match of the day: Blazing Academy vs. Shrek Academy.

The stadium erupted into deafening cheers and chants for Blazing Academy.

In stark contrast, not a single voice cheered for Shrek Academy—the team of bad luck that had already lost twice.

In the VIP seats, Grandmaster, Flender, and Liu Erlong sat together, their expressions grim.

They had watched Blazing Academy's last two matches. The opposing team had a well-rounded lineup, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was naturally weak to fire.

Moments later, the teams entered the arena.

On the vast battle stage, Blazing Academy and Shrek Academy stood opposite each other, staring each other down.

Dressed in fiery red uniforms, the seven members of Blazing Academy were led by their captain, Huo Wushuang. Beside him stood the vice-captain, Huo Wu, a girl with a curvaceous figure and a unique martial soul: Flame Shadow. Her martial soul was a fiery doppelgänger of herself, burning with intense heat, making her one of the academy's strongest members.

On the other side, Shrek Academy—a team that hardly needed introduction at this point.

Despite Grandmaster and Tang Hao's warnings, Tang San still insisted on competing today.

His Blue Silver Grass had been bathed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he believed that it could withstand Blazing Academy's flames.

However, Tang San didn't know that the two divine herbs at the center of the Yin Yang Well had already been taken by Ye Hao.

This made Tang San seethe with hatred.

Just like last night—when the soul bone he was about to obtain was snatched away by an unknown figure.

He was furious. He had stayed awake all night dwelling on it, his heart burning with rage.

—

Meanwhile, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Team 2 was set to face Godwind Academy, one of the Four Elemental Academies. Their captain, Feng Xiaotian, was known as a social butterfly with an outrageous personality.

In the waiting room, Ye Hao sat quietly in a corner.

He was absorbed in studying his hidden weapon blueprints.

Last night, after arguing with Qian Renxue for so long, he had completely forgotten to discuss the hidden weapons.

The continent was full of talented craftsmen, but Tang San had purposely designed his hidden weapons with built-in sabotage mechanisms.

If anyone other than Tang San tried to disassemble them, the crucial components would self-destruct, rendering the weapon useless.

—

"Creak—"

Suddenly, a slender man with a mask covering his face peeked into the waiting room, looking around cautiously.

"Excuse me, is this Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2?" the man asked softly.

All eyes turned to him.

Yu Tianheng spoke first. "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man smiled. "I'm looking for Ye Hao. Is he here?"

Yu Tianheng turned to the corner. "Ye Hao! Someone's looking for you!"

Ye Hao, completely absorbed in his blueprints, suddenly snapped back to reality.

He stored the blueprints into his soul tool and looked over. "Who? Who's looking for me?"

Following Yu Tianheng's gaze, Ye Hao noticed the masked man standing at the door.

Squinting, he examined the man closely.

I don't recognize him.

Casually, Ye Hao walked up.

"And you are?" Ye Hao asked. "What do you need from me?"

The man chuckled. "I'm Feng Xiaotian, captain of Godwind Academy."

"Feng Xiaotian?" Ye Hao raised an eyebrow. "So you are Feng Xiaotian?"

Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up. "Wait… Do you know me?"

"Nope." Ye Hao shook his head blankly.

Feng Xiaotian: "…"

"Well, now you do!" Feng Xiaotian forced a laugh.

"Anyway, please go easy on us later. Our Godwind Academy can't handle the way you treated Tianshui Academy."

Ye Hao's eyes narrowed with interest.

This guy was innately gifted, possessing a mutated martial soul, Storm Twin-Headed Wolf.

His previous matches had been impressive, making him one of the tournament's top competitors.

"I'll do my best." Ye Hao smirked. "I heard you created your own soul skill. Would you mind showing me later?"

Feng Xiaotian hesitated, then nodded quickly.

"If I get the chance—sure! I gotta go, see ya!"

And just like that, he bolted.

Watching him leave, Ye Hao chuckled and shook his head.

Social butterfly indeed.

—

Back on the battle stage…

The fight between Blazing Academy and Shrek Academy was heating up.

Fire erupted from all directions, forcing Dai Mubai and the others into a tough spot.

Seeing this, Tang San activated his first soul skill.

"First Soul Skill: Binding!"

Blue Silver Grass sprouted behind him, piercing through the flames, surging toward the Blazing Academy team.

But then—

The seven members of Blazing Academy burst into laughter.

The two leading members spat out flames, instantly reducing Blue Silver Grass to ashes.

Tang San's eyes widened in shock.

Huo Wu grinned and mocked him.

"Blue Silver Grass? Such a trash martial soul!"

"Did you really think a few vines could resist fire?"

Hearing this, Tang San snapped.

He hated people calling Blue Silver Grass trash.

Wasn't that the same as calling him trash?

"You'll regret that!" Tang San charged through the fire, his hands turning jade-green under the effect of Mysterious Jade Hand.

In a flash, he appeared before Huo Wu, his fist aimed straight at her head.

Huo Wu's eyes filled with fear—she could feel the threat of death.

But before Tang San's punch could land—

Huo Wushuang stepped in and kicked Tang San away.

Blazing Academy's team was furious.

The crowd erupted in outrage.

Tang San's actions were disgraceful—attacking a woman like that?

Not exactly the behavior of a true gentleman.
