Acting and the Start of the Match
"Dugu Bo, you've gone too far!" Huyan Zhen suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and looked furious.
Although Hu Huyan Zhen was only a Soul Douluo and couldn't compare to the other Titled Douluo, he was never afraid of Dugu Bo, who was known as the weakest Titled Douluo. Hu Huyan Zhen was still willing to fight him.
After all, he was the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects, and his strength was quite remarkable.
What he didn't know was that Dugu Bo's strength was now extraordinary. Having condensed the poison pill, his level of ninety-four was far beyond what Huyan Zhen could compare to.
Even the Mad Rhino Douluo is no longer a match for Dugu Bo.
"Heh, want to make a move? Although I have no desire to fight, if you insist on getting beaten up, I can grant your request." Dugu Bo chuckled coldly.
"You!" Huyan Zhen clenched his fist, looking like he really wanted to fight Dugu Bo one-on-one. Seeing this, Salas, who had been silent all along, stopped him.
"Salas, why are you stopping me?" Huyan Zhen asked Salas angrily.
In response to Huyan Zhen's anger, Salas simply said, "He is now an elder of the Dragon King Hall, not the Dugu Bo of the past."
"Dragon King Hall?" Upon hearing this, Huyan Zhen immediately calmed down. The Dragon King Hall was currently enjoying great power and influence, especially with the presence of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, who was awe-inspiring throughout the entire Heaven Dou.
As far as Huyan Zhen knew, even the Spirit Hall was wary of Long Xiaoyao. For example, when Salas was brutally beaten this time, the Spirit Hall did not make any reaction.
Sigh, he is indeed Ultimate Douluo after all; his intimidating power is truly formidable.
Thinking of this, Huyan Zhen couldn't help but sigh. His Elephant Armor Sect couldn't afford to offend the Dragon King Hall.
As for the Spirit Hall, unless a full-scale war breaks out, they won't offend Ultimate Douluo. So for now, I should restrain myself and swallow this anger for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to retaliate in the future.
But that old guy Dugu Bo really got off easy.
Huyan Zhen thought to himself with some resentment, but then sat down again.
"Hehe, Salas, it seems you've become much more obedient after being beaten by Dragon Emperor Douluo!" Dugu Bo couldn't help but mock Salas when he saw him stop Huyan Zhen.
His relationship with the Spirit Hall was never very good to begin with, and this time, Lu Yuan carried out the plan without his knowledge. He genuinely believed that the Dragon King Hall and the Spirit Hall were at odds, so the sarcasm in his tone was quite real and truly came from his own heart.
In the past, he really wouldn't have dared to go against the Spirit Hall like this. After all, although he was not afraid of death, he had to take care of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. But now that he had joined the Dragon King Hall, he had a powerful backer and was not worried at all. He took the opportunity to mock Salas.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Salas's face darkened. Although he knew that the Dragon King Hall belonged to the His Highness the Holy Son, and that all of this was the His Highness the Holy Son's design, a play he had put on for Xue Ye and the others.
However, after being mocked by Dugu Bo and seeing Dugu Bo's hateful old face that was smiling like a chrysanthemum, Salas was still furious.
Although she wanted to get angry, she kept Lu Yuan's words in mind. She had to keep up the act, so she held back for now.
Salas decided that once His Highness the Holy Son's identity was fully revealed and there was no longer any need to hide it, he would definitely settle this score with Dugu Bo.
Salas snorted, his face full of dissatisfaction, but he did not clash with Dugu Bo. Instead, he sat down quietly.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo's old face broke into an even wider smile.
Seeing the fierce rivalry between the two, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile.
The fact that the Dragon King Hall and the Spirit Hall are at odds is actually a good thing for them.
Salas truly lives up to his reputation as a pig-like opponent. That assist was absolutely brilliant, practically pushing the Dragon King Hall to our side. Now it's much easier for us to win them over.
Salas, sitting down with a dark face, looked at the smug Dugu Bo, the smiling Xue Ye, and Ning Fengzhi, and sneered inwardly. A bunch of fools kept in the dark, they are smug now, but little do they know that they are all just pawns being played by His Highness the Holy Son. When they find out the truth, they will be dumbfounded.
Especially you, the Xue Ye, you old geezer, you'll probably die without even knowing how you died.
Not only that, once His Highness the Holy Son and Miss Xue'er have taken control of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, your Heaven Dou Imperial Family will be completely wiped out. Hehe, so for now, you can just keep laughing.
If you laugh now, I'll only lose face a little. But by the time I'm laughing, you'll be dead.
Thinking about it this way, Salas felt much better and completely ignored the mocking expressions of the others. However, his face still had that deadpan expression. There was nothing he could do. His Highness the Holy Son had given him orders, and he had to perform well. He wanted His Highness the Holy Son to know that Salas acting skills were top-notch.
"Maybe His Highness the Holy Son a good mood and give me two Longevity Pills, "Salas thought happily.
Salas's inner thoughts were quite interesting in the VIP area, while Lu Yuan and the others were already prepared below the arena.
Half an hour isn't a long time, and it passed quickly.
"Hello everyone, the preparation time is over, and the competition is about to begin. Now, let's welcome the two contestants to the stage!" the host's voice rang out.
"It's finally starting. I wonder if the Heavenly Star Academy Team will change their lineup this time?" Huo Wushuang's voice rang out from the spectator area.
"Probably not. After all, Elephant Armor Academy's strength is just so-so, not as strong as Thunder Academy. Although Hu Yanzhi are full of confidence, I don't really think they're good enough," said Shui Bing'er, who has long, ice-blue hair.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense, but I don't know where Hu Yanzhi gets such confidence from?" Huo Wushuang scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
It wasn't just one person at the Elephant Armor Academy who was so confident; the entire academy was. He was genuinely puzzled as to where this inexplicable confidence came from. Had he misjudged them, and Hu Yanzhi and the others really hiding some incredible trump card?
"There's a rumor that Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect Huyan Zhen Sect, recently acquired a Soul Bone, which seems to have been absorbed by Hu Yanzhi." At this moment, Feng Xiaotian, who had been silent until now, stroked his chin and said softly.
"Soul Bone?" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Could this be the source of Hu Yanzhi and the others' confidence?
"They can't be that naive, can they? They think a single Soul Bone can turn the tide and launch a counterattack?" Shui Yue'er's sweet voice rang out.
