Douluo: My Martial Soul Is My Own Fiancee

If that is the case, it is not as if they absolutely have to give up.

She still had a lot of confidence in herself.

As she thought about it, her expression shifted from overcast to sunny, brightening up as a sweet smile returned to her face.

This change of expression left Zheng Li and Ling Nan completely bewildered, forcing them to sigh that a woman's mood is like the weather in June—it changes in an instant.

Returning to the dormitory with nothing to do, Zheng Li began to cultivate.

His Spirit Power was currently at the peak of level 19; through his own cultivation over the past three months, he had broken through another level.

He was now not far from level 20.

The next day, the round of sixteen to eight.

The team Su Yunqing was on had already been eliminated.

Although a night had passed, the young girl's mood had not yet recovered, but she still came to watch the match. Standing beside Zheng Li, she lacked her usual liveliness.

At this moment, on the observation platform of the assessment area, in addition to teachers like Du Weilun, there was an extra old man. He had messy hair, tattered clothes, was barefoot, had a purplish-red gourd hanging from his waist, and was gnawing on a chicken leg.

He gave Zheng Li a sense of déjà vu, like the "Barefoot Immortal."

Of course, he knew this was Elder Xuan; his recognizability was just too high.

The opponents for Zheng Li and his team in the round of sixteen to eight were a group that possessed two Great Spirit Masters—one an assault-type Great Spirit Master and the other a control-type. They were not easy to fight.

It took nearly five minutes to end the battle.

Of course, Co-Combat was not exposed.

It was mainly because Zheng Li's first Spirit Skill was too bugged; once he locked onto someone, that was basically it. Without a powerful Spirit Skill for full-body defense or a large-area Spirit Skill, it was very difficult to block.

In the afternoon, the round of eight to four, in the assessment area.

"Looking at it this way, it's not impossible to fight for the championship!" Zheng Li, who originally hadn't held much hope, was now fired up!

Ling Nan and Cui Yajie heard his muttering clearly.

"A Li, you've finally seen the light; that's not easy!" Ling Nan exclaimed.

"What do you mean 'seen the light'? I'm just acting according to my capabilities," Zheng Li said, glancing at Ling Nan.

"...Fine, you always have a reason. Let's work hard from here on out then!"

"Alright."

The three of them looked at each other, filled with a sense of tacit understanding.

On the observation platform, Elder Xuan took a swig of wine, watching the three of Zheng Li through his messy hair.

"Oh? Fired up, are they? That's more like it. Young people without a drive to fight won't do..."

Wang Yan, sitting next to him, was puzzled.

Is there something special about those three from Class Five? The grandmaster seems to have been paying attention to them the whole time.

Come to think of it...

Wasn't the grandmaster invited by him to watch that little fellow, Huo Yuhao?

Is this... a betrayal?

Originally, after the round of sixteen to eight in the morning, Elder Xuan had left, but now he had suddenly returned.

Wang Yan had thought his grandmaster had changed his mind and intended to come back to look at Huo Yuhao again...

Now?

It seemed he had been thinking too highly of himself.

Wang Yan's gaze turned serious; he wanted to see exactly what was so special about these three from Class Five.

It seemed the Martial Soul of one of them was quite unique...

Wang Yan had a deep impression of Zheng Li.

The draw for the round of eight to four.

Zheng Li and his team's opponents were from Class Four.

Ling Nan said with a headache, "Three Great Spirit Masters... this is going to be a bit difficult."

Cui Yajie nodded in agreement.

Chapter 28, The Final Four

"Class Five, Zheng Li (Ling Nan, Cui Yajie)."

"Class Four, Xin Zheng (Zuo Xuefu, Sikong Hu)."

At the request of the proctor, both sides announced their names.

The match was then declared to have begun.

The colors of Spirit Rings flashed as both sides released their Martial Souls. This time, Ling Nan was much more cautious and did not immediately activate his Spirit Rings to charge forward.

Moreover, he believed that Class Four must have already scouted their information and was definitely prepared!

On the high observation platform, Elder Xuan, Wang Yan, Du Weilun, the homeroom teacher of Class Five, and others were all watching this area.

A low voice echoed across the number one arena where Zheng Li was located.

Sikong Hu was the first to move. His Martial Soul was the Green Scaled Lion, which could be developed into either an assault or defense type! Sikong Hu had clearly chosen the assault path!

Upon releasing his Martial Soul, his hair grew longer and became somewhat disheveled, his skin took on a greenish hue, and his right arm in particular was covered in a layer of green scales, his entire body swelling to more than double its original size.

Xin Zheng and Zuo Xuefu followed closely behind him, using Sikong Hu as their shield.

Xin Zheng's Martial Soul was the Silver Raptor, an agility-type. He had wings but could only glide briefly; he would only be able to fly properly upon reaching the third ring, making him inferior to Ling Nan's Black and White Winged Cat.

Zuo Xuefu, a control-type with the Ice Tough Snake Martial Soul, followed behind Sikong Hu and immediately released her second spirit skill: Snake Vine!

A white-blue ice snake, two meters in length, condensed and lunged toward Cui Yajie! In the eyes of the three from Class Four, Cui Yajie was undoubtedly the biggest threat, especially because of that Charm spirit skill!

At the same time, Cui Yajie activated her Charm immediately. Her Charm required the enemy to look into her eyes to be effective, and Sikong Hu fell for it!

The two people hiding behind him were naturally unaffected.

The moment Sikong Hu was caught in the Charm, one figure from each side charged out, both leaving behind trails of afterimages!

These two were none other than the agility-type Ling Nan from my side and the agility-type Xin Zheng from the enemy side.

Xin Zheng lit up his second spirit ring: Silver Wing Strike. His wings became metallic, and their edges turned sharp, as if they were blades! His target was Zheng Li!

Ling Nan's target, however, was Zuo Xuefu.

Not every Great Spirit Master was as lecherous as that Ji Xun; the time it would take for Sikong Hu to break free from the Charm would certainly not be long!

Cui Yajie had no intention of worrying about Zheng Li; instead, she faced the ice snake, her two fox tails lashing out like pink whips!

Her eyes were filled with disgust! This ice snake actually wanted to bind her! She kept looking for opportunities to break through!

At this moment.

Xin Zheng had already reached Zheng Li's side, flapping his wings to slash at Zheng Li's chest.

"Hmm?" Xin Zheng was stunned. Zheng Li had actually condensed a Light Sword to block his wings. Given the speed of his attack, he had estimated that Zheng Li shouldn't have been able to react in time!

In the moment of his shock, a golden gleam slashed toward his throat! He saw that Zheng Li had used his other hand to condense a dagger.

Seeing this, Xin Zheng hurriedly struck, using his wings to push away the Light Sword, forcing Zheng Li to take a step back. Xin Zheng took the opportunity to circle to Zheng Li's side and lit up his first spirit ring!

His second spirit skill, Silver Wing Strike, only had the power of a single strike.

His first spirit skill was called Piercing Feather Needle.

A silver feather detached and was flicked by Xin Zheng toward Zheng Li.

A massive amount of spirit power was gathered on the silver feather.

Zheng Li's gaze sharpened as he threw the dagger to meet the silver feather.

Darts, after all... Zheng Li knew a thing or two about them.

"Stupid!" Xin Zheng sneered, his figure once again turning into an afterimage and vanishing.

A spirit skill could not be compared to a dagger condensed from ordinary spirit power.

The dagger shattered!

However, this gave Zheng Li a moment of buffer time, and he used this opportunity to dodge.

Xin Zheng: "..."

He had been slapped in the face; he had thought Zheng Li wanted to use the dagger to neutralize his spirit skill.

The next moment, Zheng Li's first spirit ring shone. The golden ring behind his head floated upward, arriving above his crown, where it condensed into golden Light Swords that shot outward.

Xin Zheng was startled. According to the information he had gathered, this move of Zheng Li's was extremely lethal! It attacked from multiple angles, almost surrounding a person—it was terrifying! He had no ability to block it.

Xin Zheng immediately turned and retreated!

Several Light Swords chased after him! Xin Zheng felt a bit panicked, feeling a chill down his back.

He wanted to call for Sikong Hu's help, only to find that the man was still dazed.

Looking at Zuo Xuefu again.

Damn it! You, a Great Spirit Master, are being chased and beaten by a Spirit Master—do you have to be so pathetic!

There's no saving her...

It seemed he could only wait for the proctor to intervene and then be eliminated...

However, what Xin Zheng didn't expect was that the Light Swords suddenly turned when they were about to pierce him, surrounding Sikong Hu from multiple angles instead.

At this moment, Sikong Hu, having just broken free from the Charm, was completely bewildered. What was going on?

Forget it, he would just release his spirit skill first; being surrounded by so many Light Swords gave him no sense of security.

Sikong Hu let out a low hum and lit up his second spirit ring. His right arm was covered in a green glow, and he immediately threw a punch at the Light Swords in front of him...

Seeing this, Xin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

However...

The sound of wind being torn rang out again, and by the time he reacted, several Light Swords had already surrounded him.

Xin Zheng: "..."

Who is that on the opposite side? Forget it... I'm too tired to speak.

The proctor intervened just in time, causing the Light Sword to dissipate.

On the high platform.

Elder Xuan let out a faint "hmph" and said, "Useless! Multi-angle doesn't mean no blind spots; couldn't he just find a suitable angle to charge out? What a waste of that Silver Raptor Martial Soul!"

Wang Yan wiped his forehead and said weakly, "Grandmaster, they are still just children..."

"So what if they're children? Who wasn't a child once!" Elder Xuan said indifferently as he took a swig of wine.

"Yes, yes..."

Wang Yan didn't dare to retort.

In the Area 1 arena.

Cui Yajie looked at the Ice Snake in front of her with some annoyance: "Screw you. Do you have to be so persistent! Fox Tail Needle, dissipate for this young lady!"

Pink and white-blue halos rippled outward...

On the other side, Ling Nan had almost driven Zuo Xuefu into a dead end. Zuo Xuefu's two major spirit skills could do nothing against Ling Nan, as Ling Nan's Godspeed spirit skill was truly fast.

However, Ling Nan's Spirit Power was also nearly exhausted at this point.

He had used Godspeed many times; otherwise, he feared he would have already been controlled by Zuo Xuefu, as a Great Spirit Master was not to be trifled with either.

At this moment, Zheng Li charged toward Sikong Hu.
