"There are only two Blue Silver Grass Spirits with innate spirit power: you and your mother. So, the moment you joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, your identity was exposed."
Tang Yuehua tactfully explained the stakes.
Mother?
Tang San was stunned. This was the first time they had revealed information about his mother.
Tang Lu added, "Your mother also died because of Spirit Hall, so your twin spirits absolutely cannot be exposed, otherwise Spirit Hall will never tolerate you."
"Spirit Hall!"
Tang San clenched his fists, a cold glint in his eyes, and bit out those three words through gritted teeth.
Tang Yuehua seized the opportunity to change the subject, "The sudden idea of using your Clear Sky Hammer, is it because the results of your matches against the Four Academies were not ideal?"
Tang San said dejectedly, "Two consecutive losses, and a fourth consecutive loss is coming."
Tang Lu shook his head, "Temporary wins and losses don't mean anything. What you need to do now is cultivate diligently. Once your spirit power level catches up, we will find a way to get you into the first team."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Tang Lu nodded, "Although the first team is strong, they lack a control system Spirit Master. As long as your spirit power level can catch up, joining the first team shouldn't be difficult."
"Good."
Tang San immediately perked up. He was truly fed up with those weaklings in the second team. If he could swap teammates with Li Qing and the others, he would definitely not lose to the Four Academies.
Five days passed in a flash.
On this day, Devil Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo led the Supreme Pontiff's Knightage to Heaven Dou City. However, they parted ways outside Heaven Dou City.
The Supreme Pontiff's Knightage entered Heaven Dou City and proceeded to the Spirit Hall Heaven Dou Holy Temple.
Meanwhile, Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard, the two Title Douluo, led a few young people directly towards Heaven Dou Academy. That group of young people was naturally the Spirit Hall Academy Team.
Devil Bear Douluo looked at Hu Liena and the others, "I'll emphasize this again."
"I don't care what methods you use, but your mission is to force Heaven Dou's first team into a match with you, and then, during the match, eliminate Li Qing at all costs."
"If the mission is completed, we will bear all consequences. But if it's not completed—"
Yan said casually, "Elder Devil Bear, please rest assured. As long as you can hold back the referee, let alone a Spirit Ancestor, even if Li Qing is a Spirit King, he won't survive."
This wasn't Yan boasting.
Although he, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue were all only Spirit Ancestors, once Hu Liena and Xie Yue unleashed their Spirit Fusion Skill, a Spirit King would truly not be enough to face them.
They had killed Spirit Kings before.
Hu Liena also nodded in agreement, "We've seen many geniuses, but they all pale in comparison when they meet us. Little Li Qing can only show off his might in the Heaven Dou Empire."
Although Xie Yue didn't speak, his expression carried a hint of disdain.
Looking at the indifferent attitudes of the three, Ghost Leopard Douluo frowned slightly but said nothing more, as the three's talent was indeed very outstanding.
Li Qing might truly not be enough to face them.
Devil Bear Douluo, still a bit worried, instructed, "Don't be careless. If you fail to complete the mission, I don't think I need to say what the consequences will be."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena and the others couldn't help but shiver.
Before they set off, Bibi Dong had warned them that if the mission failed, they would have to stay in Death Canyon until the Soul Master Competition began.
They didn't want to spend even a minute in that dreadful place, let alone be stuck there.
Seeing their expressions gradually turn serious, Devil Bear Douluo finally felt a little relieved, because if the mission failed, not only Hu Liena and the others would be punished.
He and Ghost Leopard Douluo would also be punished.
Soon, the group arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Facing the gatekeepers who came to inquire, Yan flickered, and with a punch and a kick, sent both of them flying.
They weren't there for friendly exchanges, but to stir up trouble.
"Damn it!"
One of the gatekeepers cursed and stood up, about to release his Spirit, when a cold light flashed, and he instantly fell to the ground.
"Ah ah ah—"
At first, he didn't feel it, but only when he realized his Achilles tendon was severed did the gatekeeper feel the pain and couldn't help but scream, scaring the other gatekeeper into scrambling and crawling back into the academy.
"Heh!"
Xie Yue flicked the blood off his Spirit and entered the academy with Devil Bear and the others.
At this time, Heaven Dou Royal Academy was unusually quiet, because everyone was cultivating, so Devil Bear and the others didn't even see a ghost.
However, they soon saw them.
The three Grand Deans, accompanied by the gatekeeper who had just run away, arrived in a hurry, blocking their path. But upon seeing who the newcomers were, they had no choice but to suppress their anger.
Meng Shenji said coldly, "Your Excellencies, isn't this a bit too much?"
"Too much? Not at all."
Devil Bear Douluo looked at Ghost Leopard and asked, "Are we being too much?"
Ghost Leopard Douluo couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, then looked at Meng Shenji and the other two and said, "I heard that your Heaven Dou Royal Academy has produced some unprecedented geniuses."
"Coincidentally, this generation of our Spirit Hall is also not bad."
"We came here this time to let both sides compete and see who is truly a genius. I think the three Grand Deans wouldn't refuse to give our Spirit Hall this face, would they?"
Face?
To hell with your face.
You injure our people as soon as you arrive, and now you come asking for face? Even if you are Spirit Hall Elders, even if you are Title Douluo, you shouldn't be so arrogant, should you?
Devil Bear then said, "Sirs, since we are here, there's no way we're leaving just like that."
"How about calling out Li Qing and the others and letting them decide? After all, if Li Qing appears, it becomes a problem between us and them."
"Some things, you don't need to take upon yourselves, because you can't bear the consequences."
Meng Shenji, who was about to refuse, suddenly felt that this made a lot of sense. After all, Li Qing was protected by a Title Douluo, so the other party would definitely not dare to force Li Qing.
Meng Shenji looked at Bai Baoshan, "You go notify Li Qing."
Bai Baoshan glanced at him, then headed straight out of the academy, because Li Qing had taken leave and wasn't in the academy at all. To find him, they could only go to Ning Clan Castle.
Devil Bear Douluo chuckled, "That's more like it."
Ghost Leopard Douluo glanced at Bai Baoshan's retreating figure and said, "It seems it will take some time for Li Qing to arrive. How about letting your second team come out first?"
Meng Shenji's mouth twitched. The second team fighting the Spirit Hall Academy Team?
They couldn't even handle the Four Elemental Academy Teams. Fighting the Spirit Hall Academy Team would be pure self-abuse, and it might even break their dao heart.
Meng Shenji shook his head, "Forget the second team. You can, however, try with the Four Elemental Academy Teams."
As the saying goes, 'It's better to let a friend die than myself.' Pushing out the Four Elemental Academies could not only help the second team out of a bind but also let them test the waters for Li Qing and the others.
