He put away the blood spear, and his whole aura became extremely suppressed. He slowly raised his right hand, and a quiet energy quietly spread out from his palm.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no devastating shock wave.
Only light!
The pure white light, which was extremely pure and seemed to be able to purify everything and suppress everything, suddenly broke out silently with Xuan Ming's body as the center!
The white light was not dazzling, but it carried an indescribable majesty and heaviness.
It instantly covered the entire broken arena, even penetrating the crumbling protective light shield, causing all the soul masters in the stands to feel their soul power suddenly stagnate, and their operation became extremely obscure and difficult!
The first to bear the brunt was the enchanting full moon that was in a stalemate with the wall of elemental annihilation!
Under the cover of the pure white light, the originally rapidly rotating and sharp red and pink light wheel seemed to be thrown into invisible cement, and the speed of rotation was dropping madly and visibly to the naked eye!
The light dimmed rapidly, and the powerful spiritual charm and soul power amplification effect attached to it seemed to have met a natural nemesis, fading and dissipating as quickly as melting ice and snow!
The mixed, unwilling and horrified voices of men and women seemed to want to come out of the halo, but not even a sound could cause a ripple in the field of white light.
Crack...Puff!
Like a popped soap bubble, the Ultimate Full Moon, whose power was comparable to Contra's attack, could not even struggle a bit under the extremely oppressive white light field, and it collapsed and disappeared silently and completely!
The pink mist completely dissipated, revealing two figures.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena fell from mid-air like kites with broken strings, their faces as pale as paper, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, their eyes filled with disbelief and weakness.
Their martial soul fusion technique was not broken by violence, but was forcibly suppressed and disintegrated from the root!
The entire square in front of the Pope's Palace fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths, but no sound came out.
It is not a defeat, not an offset, but a complete suppression and disintegration!
What kind of power is this? !
Back at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang collapsed in his seat, his eyes blank as he muttered, "Impossible... How is this possible... Domain... Extreme suppression..."
Tang San's Purple Demon Pupil even felt a sharp pain, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, with only boundless horror in his heart.
He originally thought that he had seen through Xuan Ming's trump card, but now he realized that the opponent's power was unfathomable!
The referee stood there for a long time, until he heard Dugu Yan and others from the Royal Fighting Team calling out to Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena with concern. He suddenly came to his senses and announced in a dry and trembling voice:
"The demon... the demon is defeated, and the spirit fusion technique is released! All members of the Spirit Hall Academy team leave the stage! The winner of this match is—the Royal Fighting Team!"
"Congratulations to the Royal Fighting Team for winning the final championship of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition!"
After the announcement, the square remained silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man in black robes, filled with awe, fear and deep disbelief.
The champion has been born.
But everyone had a premonition that things would never end there.
Just as the referee announced the champion, the atmosphere in the square was still in a dead silence, shocked by Xuan Ming's incredible "Ultimate Suppression" field. At this moment, Pope Bibi Dong slowly stood up on the podium.
Her beautiful face showed no emotion, still carrying the majesty and dignity of the Pope. She gently paused with the scepter in her hand, and her cold voice echoed throughout the audience:
"This year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition has concluded. The final champion is the Tiandou Royal Academy, the Royal Dou Team!"
Her gaze fell on Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena who were standing side by side in the ruins of the arena, and she paused for a moment on Xuan Ming in particular, with an imperceptible hint of complexity and pride flashing across the depths of her eyes.
She could actually be considered Xuan Ming's teacher, but over the past few years...
"Representatives of the champion team, please come forward to receive your honor."
Everyone's attention focused once again. Although most of the Royal Fighting Team members were injured, they couldn't hide their excitement. They supported each other and looked towards Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming looked calm. He gently patted the back of Gu Yuena's hand, motioning her to wait. Then he walked slowly to the edge of the destroyed arena alone and stepped onto the stairs leading to the platform step by step.
He came in front of Bibi Dong, bowed his head slightly and saluted.
Bibi Dong looked at him, and the complexity in her eyes quickly disappeared, turning into pure majesty.
There was a flash of light in her hand, and a brocade plate that had been prepared long ago, symbolizing the honor of the champion, appeared in her hand, covered with luxurious silk.
According to the procedure, she should have just awarded the reward.
But the next moment, something happened that made everyone's pupils shrink suddenly and almost doubt their own eyes!
Bibi Dong did not directly hand the brocade plate to Xuan Ming, but took a step forward, and under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, she gently opened her arms and hugged Xuan Ming!
Not only that, she leaned over slightly, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she gave Xuan Ming a soft but clear kiss on his forehead!
Like a bolt from the blue!
The whole square exploded in an instant!
"What?!"
"Your Holiness, what...what did she do?!"
"She actually kissed Xuan Ming?!"
"How…how is this possible?!?"
Exclamations, gasps, and screams of disbelief instantly flooded the entire square!
Everyone was stunned by this scene that was completely beyond their imagination!
Pope Bibi Dong, the supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall, the epitome of nobility and aloofness, actually kissed a young boy in such public?!
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo stood up suddenly, their faces filled with shock and astonishment. They knew Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong had a close relationship, but they never expected it to be so... intimate!
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted, and lightning flashed uncontrollably around him.
At Shrek Academy, Tang San, Dai Mubai and the others were completely dumbfounded, their minds went blank.
Yu Xiaogang felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning. His entire body trembled violently, his eyes filled with mad jealousy, humiliation, and disbelief! That woman…that woman actually…
Xuan Ming's body seemed to stiffen slightly for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He allowed Bibi Dong to complete the ritualistic kiss, and then took the brocade plate from her hand.
Bibi Dong acted as if she had done something insignificant, her expression remained indifferent, as if the shocking action just now was not done by her.
Just as the whole place was in uproar and the atmosphere was extremely weird—
"Wait… wait a minute!"
A hoarse, trembling voice, yet filled with a desperate determination, suddenly sounded, forcibly drowning out the noise at the scene.
In the Shrek Academy viewing area, Yu Xiaogang suddenly pushed away Flanders and Liu Erlong who were supporting him, and staggered out.
His face was as pale as a ghost, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot due to extreme emotions. He stared at Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong on the platform.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn over.
On the high platform, the corners of Golden Crocodile Douluo's mouth curled up in an extremely subtle arc, showing that his plan had succeeded.
"Yu Xiaogang?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her voice icy, "What do you want? You can't make a noise here!"
Yu Xiaogang was swept by Bibi Dong's cold gaze, and his body trembled subconsciously. But thinking of the promise and support of Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the endless humiliation brought to him by this "dog couple" in front of him, he suddenly gritted his teeth and roared with all his strength, as if he had given up.
"Your Holiness! Seniors and colleagues present here! I, Yu Xiaogang, will expose a shocking conspiracy today! I will expose a demon hiding in the highest levels of the Spirit Hall, cultivating through evil means and killing countless spirit masters!"
He pointed sharply at Xuan Ming on the platform, "That's him! Xuan Ming! His martial spirit, the Blood Spear, is essentially an evil martial spirit that feeds on the Qi, blood, and soul power of others!"
"The reason he's been able to progress so rapidly and possess such strange powers is because he's been practicing through life-and-death battles in the Tiandou City's Great Soul Arena, wantonly slaughtering his opponents and devouring their Qi, blood, and soul power!"
"How is this behavior any different from that of a corrupted soul master?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into dead silence!
Everyone was stunned by Yu Xiaogang's earth-shattering accusation!
Devouring Qi and blood to cultivate? A corrupted soul master? This accusation is too shocking!
Xuan Ming looked at Yu Xiaogang, who looked like a madman, with cold eyes and said nothing.
Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with coldness, her murderous intent almost condensing into substance. "Yu Xiaogang! Do you know the magnitude of the sin it is to slander the champion and the Spirit Hall?!"
"Slander?!" Yu Xiaogang laughed maniacally. "I have a witness! Elder Golden Crocodile! Please allow me to bring out the witness!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo stood up at the right moment and said in a deep voice, "This is a matter of great importance. If such evil things really happen, Spirit Hall will not tolerate them! Bring witnesses!"
Soon, several palace knights came up, escorting a middle-aged man with a frightened face, dressed in luxurious clothes but trembling like a sieve.
He is the chief person in charge of the Tiandou City Soul Fighting Arena!
The person in charge fell to his knees with a thud. Under the icy gaze of Golden Crocodile Douluo, he trembled and said, "It's... it's true... Xuan Ming has indeed been participating in life-and-death duels in our Great Soul Fighting Arena for a long time... He... his martial spirit is very strange. Every time he kills an opponent, they become like a dried corpse... We... we dare not make it public, and because it involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Education Commission, we can only help cover it up..."
Wow!!!!
The scene completely exploded!
The witness is irrefutable! He is also the person in charge of the Great Fighting Spirit Arena!
Countless eyes instantly focused on Xuan Ming, filled with horror, fear, disgust and disbelief!
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Yu Xiaogang to actually dare to do this. Furthermore, Golden Crocodile Douluo had even prepared witnesses! He was going to punish Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong to death!
"Not only that!" Yu Xiaogang seemed to be encouraged, his voice even sharper. He pointed at Xuan Ming again, and Bibi Dong beside him, and roared in a shocking tone:
"He's so brazen! It's because Pope Bibi Dong is backing him up! They're in the same group!"
"The Pope has long known of his evil deeds, yet he has always shielded and condoned them! Perhaps... perhaps all of this was ordered by the Pope! They are the biggest cancer in the Spirit Hall! They are the leaders of the corrupted spirit masters who are cloaked in the guise of light!!"
The last fig leaf was completely torn off, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Pope Bibi Dong!
At this moment, the whole place was so silent that you could hear a pin drop, and the air seemed to be frozen.
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Golden Crocodile Douluo, and he knew the time had come. He suddenly stood up, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire audience, and his voice exploded like thunder:
"Palace Guardians! Seal off the entire area! No one is allowed to move!"
Rumble!
The palace guards who had been arranged around the square took action instantly, with their swords drawn and their spirit rings lit up, surrounding the entire square tightly.
At the same time, several terrifying auras suddenly burst out from the depths of the Pope's Palace!
In a flash, four figures quietly appeared behind Golden Crocodile Douluo!
It was none other than the Snake Spear Douluo, Thorny Porpoise Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo from the Elder Hall!
This is not over yet, two more terrifying, almost suffocating pressures descended from the sky!
Qianjun Douluo! Jiangmo Douluo! Two priests also appeared at the same time, standing on either side of Golden Crocodile Douluo!
The terrifying pressure from seven Titled Douluo was like seven huge mountains, pressing down heavily on the entire square!
It made all the soul masters feel that it was difficult to breathe, their soul power was stagnant, and those who were slightly weaker collapsed directly to the ground!
Golden Crocodile Douluo's icy gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, both of whom had extremely grim expressions.
"Master Ning, Sword Douluo. This is an internal matter of our Spirit Hall. It concerns the reputation of the Spirit Hall and the safety of the continent. Please... do not make mistakes."
"Everyone present here must not leave or take any action until the matter is fully clarified!"
