Thick, pitch-black liquid, dark as sludge, spread from the arena floor, covering the entire stage in the blink of an eye like a viscous flood.
Within the black liquid, bubbles continuously surfaced and burst, releasing a deep green gas.
Just a single glance was enough to make someone feel nauseous and sick.
Although the soul power barrier prevented the stench from reaching the audience, merely seeing the scene was enough to make many spectators vomit on the spot.
This was precisely why Tang Sect's F4 had refrained from using their martial souls and soul skills in previous battles.
Being personally taken in as disciples by Hu Jie and trained using the Body Sect's secret innate cultivation methods, the Tang Sect F4 also possessed Body Martial Souls.
Their martial souls were none other than their internal organs.
They were originally born in a river basin region of the Star Luo Empire. However, upon birth, none of them had excretory organs.
They had to undergo surgery in a hospital just to survive.
Yet, when they awakened their martial souls at the age of six, their martial souls did not manifest successfully. Instead, the surgical sites from their childhood miraculously healed back.
Although they lacked visible martial souls, they were all innately full of soul power, which was incredibly rare.
When Hu Jie heard about this, he immediately understood the truth.
They did have martial souls.
But because Body Martial Souls were so rare, and the Star Luo Continent lacked the Body Sect, the soul master who oversaw their awakening simply didn't know where to look for their martial souls.
Four innate full soul power Body Martial Soul users—Hu Jie knew he had struck gold.
Without hesitation, he brought them into Tang Sect.
Due to their martial souls being their internal organs, the Tang Sect F4 developed extremely strong digestive abilities.
They could rapidly absorb the organic matter from food, while the waste products that normal people would excrete were instead stored in their bodies and converted into soul power.
They didn't need to excrete at all.
To enhance their soul skill attack power, Hu Jie trained them in both Tang Sect and Body Sect's secret toxicology techniques, forcing them to consume all kinds of bizarre and exotic substances.
This was how the Tang Sect F4 became what they were today.
Now, as their dual-domain soul skill—Clean and Hygienic was fully unleashed, the combined power of the two domains meant that even Long Yue wouldn't dare underestimate them.
"Thank goodness I ran fast, or else I'd have been killed by the sheer disgust!" In the waiting area, Gu Yue let out a sigh of relief as she observed the domain soul skill of Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si on the stage.
If she had to go up against them, she would probably rather forfeit outright than fight them.
On the arena stage, Xia Yi had already taken to the air. His second and third soul rings lit up, instantly forming three layers of ice walls around himself. Still feeling insecure, he further reinforced the gaps with Fox Sense Technique, ensuring complete isolation.
Under no circumstances would he willingly engage two men with no anuses.
Not just Xia Yi—even the referee immediately set up two layers of soul power barriers around himself.
He refused to be contaminated.
"Do you really think wrapping yourself up like that will keep you safe? This is the first time we're fighting at full strength. If, even two against one, we can't take down a newly advanced five-ring soul king, then the title of Tang Sect's Third Brother would be meaningless!"
Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si scoffed inwardly, and suddenly, the black liquid at their feet engulfed their bodies.
The next moment, all the black liquid within the domain surged upward, sweeping toward Xia Yi's protective ice walls in mid-air.
Hiss… hiss…
Within the dual-domain environment, even though Xia Yi tried to evade, some of the black liquid still splattered onto his protective ice barriers.
Instantly, the absolute zero ice Xia Yi had condensed began to corrode at a visible rate.
"Good, just like that. Don't give him even a sliver of a chance!"
On the VIP stage, Hu Jie nodded in satisfaction.
If Xia Yi wasn't afraid of filth or disgust, if he fought head-on with full strength, then Ah San and Ah Si might actually struggle to take him down quickly.
But in his current state, even if they simply stalled for time, Ah San and Ah Si could drain Xia Yi's soul power dry.
Just yesterday, Xia Yi was only at the four-ring level. Even though he had gained a new black soul ring, he had only just broken through to Soul King.
Meanwhile, Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si were long-time Soul Emperors.
"Dammit! Xia Yi, don't you have all kinds of tricks? Why aren't you using them?!"
In the waiting area, Na'er was frustrated with Xia Yi's performance.
Between Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si and Xia Yi, she would rather see Xia Yi win.
For the first time, she actually wanted Xia Yi to win.
If Xia Yi lost, then tomorrow, she and Tang Wulin would have to face either Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si or Ah Da and Ah Er.
Na'er knew Tang Wulin would never forfeit.
The mere thought of facing Tang Sect's F4 head-on made Na'er shudder.
She just wanted Tang Sect's F4 to be eliminated today.
The same thought was shared by Dai Yun'er, Long Yue, Lan Fozi, Bai Yu, Liu Guang, and Liu Jin.
They all had absolute confidence in their own strength.
They believed they could defeat either Xia Yi and Gu Yue or Tang Sect's F4.
But between the two options, they much preferred fighting Xia Yi and Gu Yue.
"At this point, you're still using such shameless tactics… I really don't know what Senior Yao Zhu sees in such a scoundrel like you."
Ya Li shook her head helplessly.
She had already seen through it—Xia Yi had already won this match.
"Using trickery to make up for a lack of strength is one thing… but using such disgusting tactics despite having the ability to fight head-on—I really don't understand what goes on in his head."
Beside Dai Tianling, Kirin Douluo Tong Yu muttered in a deep voice.
Yesterday, Kindred Domain Douluo En Ci was heavily injured by Ghost Emperor, forcing Tong Yu to step in to protect Dai Tianling.
But before Tong Yu could finish speaking, on the arena stage—
Something unexpected happened.
Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si, still fused with the Clean and Hygienic domain, suddenly reappeared.
Both of their faces twisted in extreme pain, clutching their stomachs as they collapsed into the black sludge, their bodies curling up into fetal positions.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
Thunderous rumbling echoed from within their bellies.
"What's going on?!"
Smiling Douluo Hu Jie immediately rushed onto the stage.
Seeing Hu Jie intervene, Xia Yi hurriedly discarded his ice barriers and fled the arena at full speed.
Even the referee bolted immediately, not bothering to announce the match's outcome.
"Don't come near me until you've showered!"
Seeing Xia Yi approach, Gu Yue instantly backed away, grinning playfully.
Though Xia Yi had taken precautionary measures, avoided direct contact, and remained odor-free, Gu Yue still distanced herself with a teasing smile.
"Who told you not to let me fight? You brought this on yourself."
Xia Yi sped up and knocked Gu Yue lightly on the forehead.
"Then you should have warned me how disgusting they were!"
Gu Yue protested, but she no longer avoided him.
Looking at the arena, she asked curiously, "How did you do it?"
On the stage—
Ah San and Ah Si groaned in agony.
"We… we're poisoned?!"
"Poison? Impossible! What poison could possibly affect you?!"
Hu Jie was stunned.
"It's not poison… It's laxatives."
Seeing the state of Tang Sect's Ah San and Ah Si, if Yali still didn't understand what had happened, then she wouldn't be Yali.
"Just let it out, and you'll be fine." Smiling Face Douluo Hu Jie's expression was grim. In the end, he pulled out a small knife, waved his large hand, and took Ah San and Ah Si away from the battle stage in a whirlwind.
Before this, he had never imagined that Tang Sect F4 would have such a weakness.
"A small knife to the butt—opening a new eye." Yali muttered softly.
She had no favorable impression of Tang Sect F4.
Not to mention their abilities—
Just the fact that before the tournament even began, Tang Sect F4 had secretly tried to kill Yuanen Yehui was enough to ensure she would never look kindly upon them.
That day, if it hadn't been for Leng Yulai…
Yuanen Yehui would have been in grave danger.
"Someone, throw this battle stage away." Dai Tianling took one look at the stage where Xia Yi and Ah San, Ah Si had fought and immediately ordered its disposal.
