I spent the day very busy and ended up forgetting to write, it's late, but I finished it.

**Chapter 106: Tang Hao Vomited Blood Again**
"Such a waste!"
"You act recklessly without first understanding your opponent's Domain!"
"If he had paid a little more attention and figured out the role of the Domain, he wouldn't have failed so miserably in the end!"
"Even if he had just delayed things until his opponent's Soul Power ran out, the loser would naturally have been Gu Ziyi!"
"Loser!"
"It's ridiculous that I ever considered you my idol. You truly don't deserve my admiration!"
Yu Xiaogang once regarded Tang Hao as his idol because Tang Hao was the strongest among the younger generation. For him, it felt natural to idolize someone so formidable.
However, after witnessing Tang Hao's performance this time, his feelings shifted to complete disappointment.
In his view, Tang Hao might possess immense strength, but he was equally foolish and lacked the ability to strategize effectively.
At first, Yu Xiaogang had been shocked to see Gu Ziyi perform so well, matching his idol's strength blow for blow. But as the battle unfolded, he realized that Gu Ziyi's advantage stemmed entirely from his Domain and not from personal strength.
Moreover, Gu Ziyi's Domain appeared to have purely defensive capabilities with no offensive power.
Tang Hao only needed to figure that out early on and avoid engaging him while his Domain was active. By stalling the fight, Gu Ziyi would have eventually lost due to Soul Power exhaustion.
The more Yu Xiaogang had admired Tang Hao in the past, the deeper his disdain grew now. To him, Tang Hao had proven himself a fool.
"Cousin, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, how did he defeat Tang Hao?"
From the audience, Ning Shuangjiang couldn't understand Tang Hao's loss and asked Ning Fengzhi and the others for an explanation.
"It's because of his Domain," Ning Fengzhi explained.
"His Domain has a strong defensive effect. Nine out of ten of Tang Hao's attacks were blocked by it, making it incredibly effective in neutralizing him."
"As for Gu Ziyi's sudden outburst later, it wasn't entirely his own strength. He used Tang Hao's final attack to enhance his own power and strike back against him."
"Essentially, his Domain was the key to his victory."
"Honestly, Tang Hao only needed to focus on one thing—figuring out his opponent's Domain. If he had done that earlier, he likely wouldn't have lost this match."
"All I can say is that everyone from the Haotian Sect is the same. The stronger they are, the more reckless they act."
Sword Douluo's experienced eyes allowed him to clearly see through Gu Ziyi's Domain. His explanation to Ning Shuangjiang was far more precise than Yu Xiaogang's observations.
"I see!"
"So he really is capable of awakening such a Domain!"
Ning Shuangjiang's eyes sparkled as she listened, feeling even more admiration and fascination for Gu Ziyi.
"Yes, Domain abilities are extremely rare in the world of Soul Masters. Many Titled Douluo never even possess one. Yet, this disciple of the Pope managed to awaken it at such a young age."
"There were rumors before that his talent was low, but now it's clear those rumors were wrong. His Martial Soul isn't weak at all—in fact, it's exceptionally powerful."
Bone Douluo added his thoughts, envious of Gu Ziyi's talent.
If only he had possessed such capabilities in his youth.
After all, even after living so long, he had never managed to awaken a Domain of his own.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone are so amazing, you can see everything!"
Ning Shuangjiang nodded repeatedly upon hearing these words, praising Douluo Sword and Douluo Bone for their enlightening words. In her heart, she once again confirmed her previous thoughts.
She must find Gu Ziyi and make him take responsibility for his wicked act!
...
"Good, very good, hahaha!"
"I didn't expect Tang Hao to be severely injured!"
"Now we have the chance to make it to the finals!"
At this moment, there was another team that was very excited about the situation, which was the Starluo Empire Team.
Because after they found out that Tang Hao was severely injured, they now had the chance to defeat the Haotian Team in the team match.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill – Underworld White Tiger!"
This was exactly what happened in the team match that took place in the afternoon. Dai Nisha and another member of the Zhu family teamed up to use their long-hidden ultimate move. They had a Martial Soul Fusion ability that most of the Dai and Zhu family members could naturally perform, but very rarely.
So, under their Martial Soul Fusion ability, Tang Hao, who had been severely injured by Gu Ziyi in the morning, was defeated by them, even with the help of Tang Yuehua. When he was knocked down again, he ended up vomiting blood and soon fainted.
Once Tang Hao was defeated, the remaining members of the Haotian Team were no longer opponents for the Underworld White Tiger.
So, in the end, the original favorite couldn't even make it to the final match and ended up in third place.
"Let's congratulate the Starluo Empire Team for their victory and congratulate the Starluo Empire Team for advancing to the final match in three days!"
"At the same time, we also congratulate the Haotian Team for securing third place in this Soul Master Competition of Advanced Academies from across the continent!"
"Congratulations to both teams!"
The host made a timely announcement after seeing that the Starluo Empire Team had won.
At the same time, they congratulated the Haotian Team for winning third place in the competition.
The audience wasn't sure if they were overthinking, but they always felt that the host's congratulations sounded a bit too triumphant.
"Pff~"
Tang Hao, who had vomited blood and was in a coma earlier, woke up to the noise and heard the host's announcement. He realized that the Haotian Team had indeed lost to the Starluo Empire Team. He was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of blood, and then he just woke up and fell into a coma again.
He really couldn't accept this fact.
When he joined the Haotian Team, he was very excited and promised that he would lead his team to win the Soul Master Competition.
To succeed quietly, he did not participate in the last Soul Master Competition he could have joined, just to ensure that he would be infallible in this one.
But he never expected that the opponents this time would be even more terrifying than the previous ones.
In the last competition, there was at least one Soul King. If he fought hard, it would have been possible to defeat the opponent.
Now, not to mention becoming a legend and leaving this competition as a Soul Master idolized by generations, he was just embarrassed and sent home before the final match.
"Young Master of the Sect!"
"Second Brother!"
"Hao'zi!"
"…"
All the members of the Haotian Team exclaimed and rushed to check Tang Hao's injuries.
They were relieved when they found that there was nothing wrong.
Tang Xiao looked at his unconscious brother. Although he felt distressed, he also felt a bit of hatred for Tang Hao.
Tang Hao had already declared loudly that he would definitely win the Soul Master Competition.
That had now become a joke.
Moreover, this joke would also become a joke for the Haotian Sect.
"Why..."
Tang Xiao sighed and lifted Tang Hao onto his shoulder.
"Let's go, there's no need to stay and watch the finals!"
After picking up the unconscious Tang Hao, Tang Xiao said they should leave and walked out first.
This left Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu a little surprised when they heard this, but they couldn't oppose it. They could only look back at Gu Ziyi's direction and then left with Tang Xiao.
Little did they know, there were even worse things waiting for them after they returned!
...
