Country Kids Are Poor
When the organizers of the Heaven Dou Division made this decision, all the viewers were in an uproar.
Seven teams composed of Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder Battle Soul Douluo—
How could the organizers agree to something so outrageous?
Even ordinary people who are not Soul Master know just how big the gap is between Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, and Soul Douluo.
Some people criticized the Nuoding Team for overestimating their abilities.
Some people admired the courage of the Nuoding Team.
Some people have offered a more rational analysis, suggesting that the Nuoding Team may have offended the organizers, which is why they agreed to such outrageous conditions.
Of course, some people believe that the members of the Nuoding Team do have that kind of skill, after all, the fact that the organizers dared to agree is also a recognition of their strength.
However, most viewers were very excited, after all, this was the biggest gap in the history of the Challenge Match, unprecedented and perhaps never to be repeated!
How could they not be excited?
Zhou Qing and his group also had an hour to discuss how to deal with Huyan Zhen.
Only--
Inside the lounge, the seven did not begin a tactical discussion on how to deal with Huyan Zhen. Tang San asked, "Qing Ge, you knocked out all the participating teams to disrupt Salas's plan, right? But why challenge Huyan Zhen? It exposed our strength, so we intend to truly demonstrate our power to deter the villains."
"I have this idea, but the real purpose is to give you an example: my individual strength is not enough to make those powerful people take me seriously, but by making good use of the environment and the rules of the competition, I can also make Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Salas and others have a lot of trouble."
Essentially, Zhou Qing wanted to make Tang San and the others, as well as the thirty-six students in the ordinary audience who had received his ideological education, understand.
Even the powerful and wealthy are still human. Even if their personal Soul Power Level far exceeds that of the powerful, it doesn't mean they can act recklessly. Those who create the rules are also subject to those rules.
Changing policies frequently is a major taboo.
This is also because Douluo Continent is not the kind of fantasy world where things can destroy the world at any time. Martial Soul and Soul Power are indeed extraordinary powers, but they are not particularly outstanding. Therefore, even the emperor cannot act recklessly.
The main purpose was to provide an example for the students who inherited his ideas, so that they could have an even stronger sense of fearlessness.
So what if he's the emperor of Heaven Dou?
So what if he Sect Leader of one of the Upper Three Sects?
So what if he's the Platinum Leader of the Martial Soul Hall?
As someone in a high position, he should set an example, especially in front of nearly 80,000 spectators, who would be completely fooled by him.
Certainly.
This will inevitably provoke their resentment.
The solution is to take the initiative and challenge an opponent that everyone thinks is unbeatable.
If they win, the storm will be over.
And they no longer need to participate in the boring Preliminary Competition—
Such a competition, which prohibits the use of any means other than Martial Soul and Soul Power, is completely meaningless to them.
The real battle is fought.
Over the past three years, the team Zhou Qing built has experienced no shortage of battles.
Bandits entrenched along the border Two Great Empires...
Pirates on the Great Sea...
Those captured bandits and pirates who had committed countless murders were executed in public; if they had only recently gone astray, there was still hope for them, and they were given a chance to correct their ways.
Therefore, not to mention Zhou Qing, Tang San and Xiao Wu also looked down on this kind of "political game" that resembled playing house.
The most tangible benefit they can gain from participating in this game is the prize awarded by the Spirit Hall in the end.
As for the titles of nobility to be awarded by the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, they absolutely do not want them.
Aristocratic status?
Everyone dismissed it with disdain.
As Zhou Qing had said, the thirty-six students in the audience recalled what Zhou Qing had taught them in the past. They watched the changes in the expressions of all the nobles or high-ranking Soul Master in the VIP seats, including Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas, and compared them. They found that it was indeed true.
Noble--
Aside from being better dressed, having fairer skin, and being slightly stronger, there doesn't seem to be any other difference between them.
However, most of these young men and women admired Zhou Qing and his group. After all, he was the only one who controlled the atmosphere in front of everyone present, made demands on Xue Ye, and even got the organizers of the Heaven Dou Division to compromise.
Zhou Qing has become their new idol...
"Little Monster, you guys are really something, daring to even challenge Huyan Zhen."
Dugu Bo pushed open the door and entered the lounge. He immediately Taunt, "That old thing may only be Soul Douluo, but in terms of attack power, he's three points stronger than me."
"That was in the past."
Zhou Qing smiled.
In the past, Dugu Bo was considered a disgrace to the Titled Douluo, as his strength was largely wasted without the aid of poison. But things are different now. He has a way to deal with the toxins in his body, and his body will be further strengthened. In a few years, he will surely be able to break through to a higher realm.
"Indeed, it was in the past." Dugu Bo's smile gradually softened. "Speaking of which, are you really confident in dealing with Huyan Zhen?"
"Of course we have one! We have a 50% chance of winning against you," Zhou Qing said with a smile.
"That makes sense. It's either a loss or a win; it really is a 50/50 chance."
Perhaps because the toxins in his body had become beneficial through cultivation, Dugu Bo felt much lighter, and even his spirits improved somewhat, which led him to learn to joke around.
But he immediately became serious. "No joke, just how confident are we of winning?"
"Actually, we don't need to win," Tang San replied. "If the purpose is just to intimidate, then fighting a Soul Douluo to a standstill, or even getting them injured, is enough."
"That's difficult."
Dugu Bo also sighed.
He had experienced Huyan Zhen's defensive power before. Although it couldn't stop Hu Yanzhen's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, once Hu Yanzhen unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, his skin would turn into diamonds, making him truly impervious to blades and spears, and impervious to water and fire. Even Hu Yanzhen's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison could hardly affect his movements.
Moreover, although the Diamond Mammoth is Defense System Martial Soul, its attack power is not low, which is a common feature of most large-sized Martial Soul.
Body size is power.
But Zhou Qing disagreed, saying, "Old Monster, just watch how we defeat that Huyan Zhen later."
"Of course I have to keep an eye on things, otherwise what will happen to the perfection of my cultivation technique if something happens to you?" Dugu Bo chuckled.
He didn't come here just to actually watch!
Finally, a way to detoxify has been found!
Finally, I've made a significant step forward, breaking through to a higher level, and have the opportunity to glimpse the splendor of those above level 95!
How could anything happen to these little guys?
"Thanks, Old Monster." Zhou Qing understood Dugu Bo's thoughts, but still thanked him.
"What are you thanking me for? I've already stepped halfway into the pit you dug, and I did it myself... I'm different from other people, I don't have that many worries. After living for so many years, when I see something new, I just want to see what kind of mess you guys can make, hehe."
Although Dugu Bo was a guest of honor on Xue Xing and was considered close to Heaven Dou, he would not be swayed by favors. More importantly, he felt that Zhou Qing's big commotion was probably to demonstrate their true strength in order to obtain more resources.
After all, children in the countryside are poor.
