Doulou Dalu 60

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think even the Spirit Hall team can easily break through the Soul Breaking Spear Formation of the Po Yi Clan."

Tang Huo'er shook her head. "No, you're underestimating the Spirit Hall team. In the preliminary rounds, they focus on showcasing individual strength. But in the finals, their team combinations and newly developed tactics are enough to shock the major sects. Every year, they replace some members and introduce new trump cards. In their match against the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, I noticed that the two new girls on the team were unusual, and even the two male members were fresh faces."

Lin Fan fell silent. In truth, he wasn't here for the championship or to help the Haotian Sect defeat Spirit Hall. His real goal was to rescue Bibi Dong and their daughter.

The Fighting Spirit Arena was the only place that could block mental detection. It was the safest location where he could talk to Bibi Dong and plan their escape.

Winning or losing against the Spirit Hall team didn't matter to him—he would give his best against their members, except Bibi Dong. But he had no idea what would happen between them once they faced off in the ring.

Would it end in a life-or-death duel between Bibi Dong and Tang Huo'er? Would she try to kill Tang Huo'er, forcing Lin Fan to step in?

Or would she surrender to her emotions, embrace him, and choose to fight alongside him for the sake of their daughter?

Or perhaps Lin Fan wouldn't even make it that far—Spirit Hall's other six members, including the strange twin sisters, might be too strong. He could die before he even got the chance to face Bibi Dong.

Qian Xunji and the entire Spirit Hall wouldn't rely solely on Bibi Dong to eliminate him and Tang Huo'er. The other six members of the team must have also been given the order to kill them.

All these questions would only be answered when he finally stepped into the ring.

Two Days Later – The Semi-Finals Begin

Haotian Sect vs. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Family

The younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Family was far stronger than in Tang San's era. They had four Soul Kings, a feat that even allowed them to defeat the Skyfighting Empire's Snow Clan—a surprising outcome for Lin Fan.

The Snow Clan's martial spirit, a swan-type beast, was not particularly strong. It paled in comparison to the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. This was the main reason they lost.

The seven members of the Haotian Sect team walked onto the massive iron arena. Unlike the preliminary rounds, the semi-final arena was three times larger, making it nearly impossible to escape once the battle began.

Lin Fan glanced at the VIP stands. The Haotian Sect's elders—Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Tang Yiran—were present, as well as the royal families of the two empires and Spirit Hall's representatives. However, Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji were absent.

It seemed that Bibi Dong was preparing for the next match.

The outcome of this battle would be decided within a day, after which Spirit Hall would face the Po Zhi Clan.

A few moments later, the seven members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Family stepped onto the stage—six men and one woman.

Lin Fan was taken aback when he saw the woman's face. She bore a striking resemblance to Liu Erlong.

Turning to Liu Erlong, he noticed her clenched fists and the complicated emotions flickering in her eyes.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus team members were all around seventeen years old. Their leader was a cold-looking young man with a lightning-shaped mark on his forehead. His expression turned mocking as he met Liu Erlong's gaze.

"I never expected to see this failure on the Haotian team," he sneered. "It looks like your standards have dropped. First, you allow a mere Soul Master to join, and now you even accept a discarded mutant martial soul from our family."

Yu Ziye's words sent Liu Erlong into a fury. She immediately released her Fire Dragon martial spirit, her eyes turning red as a crimson dragon shadow enveloped her body.

Four soul rings rose beneath her feet. "You can insult me, but I won't let you humiliate the Haotian Team!"

Yu Ziye laughed. "You're just a Soul Sect with a pathetic mutated martial spirit. Do you really think you can compare to our true Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex lineage?"

At that moment, the woman beside Yu Ziye stepped forward. She released her own Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus spirit, her hair turning deep blue as five soul rings materialized beneath her feet.

Her voice was cold and filled with malice. "My foolish little sister, I never thought you'd actually qualify for this tournament. Did you seduce someone to get here?"

Lin Fan's eyes widened in shock. Sister? Liu Erlong was the illegitimate daughter of a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan elder, so this woman was her legitimate half-sister?

It was clear that Liu Erlong had never been accepted in her family. She must have been ostracized, forcing her to seek refuge in the Haotian Sect.

"You're asking for death…" Liu Erlong growled, about to charge forward, but Tang Huo'er suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

"Senior Sister…" Liu Erlong hesitated. Despite her rage, she respected Tang Huo'er.

Tang Huo'er took a step forward, glancing disdainfully at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus team. "I'm the captain of the Haotian Team. I personally chose Erlong, and her martial spirit is far superior to your so-called 'pure' bloodline."

Yu Ziye flinched at the name Tang Huo'er, his arrogance momentarily replaced by fear. The woman who had just insulted Liu Erlong also paled and instinctively backed away.

Eight colorful blades formed around Tang Huo'er, orbiting her like a deadly shield. Her voice was ice-cold. "You dared to insult my teammate. That means you challenged me. I'll take all seven of you on at once. Let's see if you can break formation like you did against the Snow Clan."

Yu Ziye clenched his jaw. "Even if you're strong, you're overconfident if you think you can beat all seven of us alone."

Releasing his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus spirit, he stepped forward. Five soul rings emerged, and he declared arrogantly, "Since reaching level 55, I haven't found a worthy opponent in my clan. It'll be an honor to test my strength against Haotian's so-called strongest female warrior."

Lin Fan sighed inwardly. What an idiot.

Level 55 wasn't invincible. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus spirit had decent attack power, but it was nowhere near the might of the Clear Sky Hammer or the Soul-Breaking Spear.

Yu Ziye and his Soul King companions wouldn't even be able to defeat Tang Jianfeng, who was level 57, let alone Tang Huo'er.

Lin Fan had seen Tang Jianfeng crushed by her in pre-match training. Against her, even Bibi Dong might struggle. Only a real battle would tell.

Tang Huo'er scoffed. "Enough talk. If you really want to die, come at me together. That way, you might at least have a 1% chance of survival."

Before she could attack, Liu Erlong stepped forward. Her expression was calm but determined.

"This is my fight," she said, her voice trembling with suppressed emotion. "I'll defeat her myself."

Lin Fan nodded approvingly. "Good. Erlong, show them your strength." Then he turned to Yu Ziye, smirking.

"I, Lin Fan, a mere level 34 Battle Soul Master, will crush you like an insect. I hope you don't mind."
