Chapter 178 The Spirit Hall Wants a Five-Man Tournament? The Five Tiger Generals Attack!
"Buzz—"
Within the pillar of light, immense power surged into Xiang Yu's body.
His aura rapidly increased, eventually breaking through level ninety-six.
Don't let his low level fool you, his power when he's low on health is unimaginable!
"What permeates my body is belief!"
Feeling the surge of power within him, Xiang Yu left the arena with satisfaction.
"shock!"
On the competition stage, Sikong Zhen's thunderous roar once again pounded the screen.
The "Match" button on the display flashes, and the matching process begins quickly!
All living beings in the world stared intently at the screen, their breathing quickening.
Who will play in the next match? Can they end Chang'an's nine-game winning streak?!
Matching completed quickly!
Sikong Zhen's thunderous voice resounded throughout the entire venue:
"The tenth match of the King of Glory Peak Tournament!"
"Spirit Hall's Lion Warrior versus Chang'an City's Zhang Fei!"
The moment the words fell, the sky updated its information in sync:
[The 10th match of the King of Glory Peak Tournament!]
[Spirit Hall - Lion - Battle - Chang'an City - Zhang Fei!]
All living beings in the world were completely bewildered upon seeing this.
"The Spirit Hall Lion? I've never heard of it before!"
"Who is this? Could it be one of the eight elders of the Spirit Hall?!"
But soon, some of the older people remembered, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Lion Douluo! A retainer of the Spirit Hall, possessing the top-tier beast spirit, the Flaming Lion!"
"Half a hundred years ago, he was also a renowned figure on the continent, with strength surpassing Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo!"
"He's still alive and even participated in the competition, so the other elders of the Spirit Hall will probably participate too, right?!"
Qian Daoliu, who had been watching the battle from Wuhun City, became extremely worried.
He had witnessed the previous nine battles, and his unease grew ever stronger.
At this very moment, the Spirit Hall's lineup is in the spectator stands.
After the golden crocodile and his companions discussed the matter, the lion leaped onto the arena.
He looked at Sikong Zhen, who was suspended in mid-air, and his loud voice resounded throughout the entire venue:
"I, the Lion, have a request!"
"It was my Spirit Hall that sent a team of five—myself, Qingluan, Guangling, Qianjun, and Jiangmo—to fight against the five from Chang'an!"
"If we win, only the Spirit Hall will be counted as the victor; if we lose, all five of us will be considered losers! Chang'an, do you dare to accept this challenge?!"
The Spirit Hall's retainers had just finished discussing it.
Apart from the level 99 Golden Crocodile, the other five are almost all level 97.
Based on previous battles, level 97 is utterly vulnerable in front of Chang'an.
After all, even powerful figures like Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were easily killed by those of higher levels, let alone them.
So it was unanimously decided that, apart from the level 99 Golden Crocodile, a team would be formed to try and seize an opportunity!
It's better to have five people compete for one winning spot than to be defeated one by one in individual battles, wasting energy and time!
Upon hearing this, all living beings in the world immediately began to discuss it:
"The Spirit Hall is actually demanding a five-person tournament? And the exchange terms they've offered are incredibly tempting!"
"I thought the previous doubles competition was already unconventional enough, but now we have to have a five-person team competition!"
"Is the Spirit Hall desperate? They're struggling to breathe after a nine-game winning streak, and they're trying to break the deadlock by relying on their numerical advantage?!"
"The Spirit Hall is staffed by top-tier experts who have been with us for years, working in perfect harmony. They might just be able to create a miracle!"
"Yes, unless Chang'an is randomly matched with a five-person team with good chemistry, their undefeated streak will come to an end!"
The various factions were also discussing the matter, all believing that Chang'an would not agree.
Chang'an seemed to have been reluctant to agree to the doubles tournament before, so why would they agree to the five-person tournament?!
Qian Daoliu, who was watching from Wuhun City, had a glint in his eyes.
He admired the decision of the worshippers; rather than all five of them losing, it was better to take a chance and win!
Discussions surged like a tide around the world.
On the competition stage.
Sikong Zhen raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Ye Han, who was sitting in the main seat.
Ye Han picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then nodded slowly.
Upon receiving the signal, Sikong Zhen's body surged with lightning, his voice booming like thunder:
"Why wouldn't we dare? Since the Spirit Hall has spoken, and we want to shake Chang'an, we should certainly oblige!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence.
"What?! Chang'an actually agreed?!"
Then, an even louder uproar erupted.
No one expected that Chang'an would accept the offer so readily.
"shock!"
Sikong Zhen immediately unleashed four bolts of lightning.
"Boom boom boom boom—"
The "Match" button on the display flashed four times in a row.
The portraits of Qingluan, Guangling, Qianjun, and Jiangmo lit up.
Immediately, the four question mark icons on the right lit up, revealing their true forms one by one!
"The Ultimate King of Glory Peak Tournament!"
"The tenth match will be redesigned and changed to a five-player match!"
"The five elders of the Spirit Hall are facing off against the five tiger generals of Chang'an City!"
"The five great elders of the Spirit Hall are: Azure Phoenix, Lion, Radiant Feather, Thousand Pounds, and Demon Slayer!"
"The Five Tiger Generals of Chang'an are: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong!"
The moment the words were spoken, the information that the sky had just released was immediately updated:
[The 10th match of the King of Glory Peak Tournament!]
[The Spirit Hall's Five Great Elders - Battle - Chang'an City - The Five Tiger Generals!]
[The Spirit Hall's Five Great Elders: Azure Phoenix, Lion, Radiant Feather, Thousand Pounds, and Demon Slayer!]
[Chang'an City - The Five Tiger Generals: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong!]
As soon as the information was released, people all over the world were in an uproar.
The high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall knew more or less about these things.
but...
"The Five Tiger Generals?!"
These four words struck like a thunderbolt into the minds of all living beings.
Just hearing the name is incredibly imposing, as if it carries the power of a thousand troops!
Moreover, these five generals seem to be a team, and their cooperation must be very smooth, right?
"It's over! The Spirit Hall is finished!"
"They actually got randomly matched with a five-person team from Chang'an!"
"The people from the Spirit Hall aren't fools. Seeing this, there's no going back; they'll probably have to admit defeat outright!"
People all over the world are talking about it.
All the major powers were astonished upon seeing this.
Everyone on the Spirit Hall's side was completely dumbfounded upon seeing this:
"What?! What a coincidence that we were matched with a team from Chang'an?!"
Bibi Dong frowned deeply. Chang'an must have pulled something behind the scenes, doing something underhanded!
However, she didn't say much, after all, she didn't want the worshippers to win and get the reward to deal with her.
(Babies, how do you hope to see Bibi Dong in the future?!)
(1. Taming and training slaves, 2. Imprisonment and torture, 3. Cruel killing!)
...
Damn it!
The golden crocodile and his followers were furious.
How could it be such a coincidence? It's clearly a rigged operation!
"Second brother, what do we do? This is probably a losing game! Should we... just admit defeat?!"
Qingluan looked at the golden crocodile and asked with concern.
The golden crocodile clenched his fists tightly, but there was nothing he could do:
"This is likely because we made excessive demands regarding the five-person tournament first, which is why Chang'an retaliated in this way!"
"Since we want to be on good terms with Chang'an, we cannot openly question Chang'an. Now we have no choice but to grit our teeth and go for it, even if we are destined to lose!"
Qingluan wanted to say something more.
Qianjun and Jiangmo were the first to interrupt:
"Go! Even if we're destined to lose, we'll lose spectacularly!"
"A spectacular defeat earns more respect from the world than admitting defeat!"
Guangling jumped up from her seat, excitedly saying:
"Sixth and seventh brothers are right! Even in defeat, we must lose with style! What kind of hero admits defeat!"
"Besides, our teamwork is flawless, so how can you be so sure we have no chance of winning!"
His impassioned words added a touch of tragic heroism to the originally solemn viewing area of the Spirit Hall.
"Swish swish swish swish—"
Azure Phoenix, Radiant Feather, Thousand Pounds, Demon Subduer.
The four elders flashed and landed on the arena.
They stood side by side with the lions who had already taken their places on stage.
"Brothers, activate your Martial Souls!"
