My Martial Soul is My Fiancee in Douluo Chapter 40

In other words, although he had once loved Cui Furong, she was ultimately an outsider now.

"First round, cleared."

Bubbles enveloped the middle-aged man once more.

After that, only two children of the same age as Zheng Li remained.

It was still relatively normal.

One liked his childhood sweetheart.

The other liked his own older sister...

When asked if he was willing to die for her, the one who liked his childhood sweetheart said he was unwilling, adding that his sweetheart could always find someone else... and was then whipped a few times by the calm voice.

The one who liked his older sister became immediately vigilant upon hearing the question, demanding of the Valley of Love and Emotion: "What are you trying to do? Come at me if you have a problem! If you dare touch my sister, I'll fight you to the death!"

The calm voice was speechless at that moment as well.

Fortunately, they passed the round successfully.

"First round, concluded. Second round, adventure begins."

As the words fell, the surrounding environment changed. The floor of the circular platform shifted, transforming into a roulette wheel divided into six equal sectors, each containing a symbol.

Chapter 47, a bit sour...

The rules for the second round were simple: a golden light in the shape of a clock hand would select someone while the wheel spun. Each symbol represented a rule; succeed, and you pass; fail, and you enter a deep adventure.

The mortality rate of a deep adventure was fifty percent!

After the calm voice explained the rules, the golden clock-hand light began to spin, and the roulette wheel started rotating simultaneously.

Zheng Li frowned as he looked at the six symbols on the wheel; there were two whose meanings he could not decipher.

In this stage, everyone could hear the voice and see both the wheel and each other.

After spinning, the golden light landed on the middle-aged man, and the wheel stopped. The area where the light rested featured a symbol of two crossed swords.

"Battle! Two people will be randomly selected to fight. The winner passes, and the loser enters a deep adventure; if the selected pair wins, the difficulty of subsequent adventures will decrease, otherwise, it will increase."

As the calm voice spoke, two more beams of golden light appeared, ultimately selecting Zheng Li and Xiao Nai.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Zheng Li and Xiao Nai with a calm expression. As a level 28 Great Spirit Master, he had absolutely nothing to fear from two children!

This second stage was in the bag!

Zheng Li and Xiao Nai exchanged a glance, a sense of tacit understanding forming between them.

He really wanted to ask the Valley of Love and Emotion one thing: was it really a good idea to pick them?

It wasn't arrogance, but confidence.

The three bubbles shattered, the roulette wheel and the golden clock-hand light vanished, and the three of them landed on the circular platform.

At this very moment, the calm voice announced:

"Begin!"

The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Li and Xiao Nai with a guilty expression and said: "Kids, I'm sorry, but this big brother wants to live too!"

As he finished speaking, he released his Martial Soul. The middle-aged man's body immediately swelled, and his hair grew rapidly! His hands transformed into bear paws, and razor-sharp bear claws unsheathed from his fingertips, hidden beneath the fur. One white and one yellow spirit ring floated up.

What a mysterious place indeed! It even cured the poison in my body, the middle-aged man thought to himself.

He did not know that this was only temporary.

Long-haired Bear, Zheng Li and Xiao Nai recognized it immediately; it was an extremely common Spirit Beast.

But what was with that "big brother" nonsense?

Did the middle-aged man hate being called old that much?

Zheng Li blinked and said: "Uncle, judging by your tone, are you certain you've already won?"

"Call me big brother!"

The middle-aged man corrected him before swinging his bear paws toward Zheng Li and Xiao Nai.

At this moment, Wang Xin'er, inside her bubble, widened her eyes. She was very curious about what Zheng Li's Martial Soul was. Even though she had told Zheng Li about her own Martial Soul back in the carriage, Zheng Li had kept his own hidden and refused to tell her.

In fact, Zheng Li had mentioned the Spirit of Light, but the little girl wanted to see it for herself. Naturally, Zheng Li hadn't wanted Xiao Nai to appear in the cramped space of the carriage, so that was what Wang Xin'er had assumed.

Now...

She saw a yellow spirit ring rise beneath Zheng Li's feet, radiating light.

"Huh? How did the spirit ring appear without him releasing his Martial Soul?"

Wang Xin'er was surprised.

Next, the golden ring behind Xiao Nai floated, and streaks of Light Sword flew out, stabbing toward the middle-aged man.

"Who is that?"

Only then did Wang Xin'er notice Xiao Nai, her eyes widening. Was this person there before? Also, this young girl was so beautiful!

Well, although she was still a bit inferior compared to her.

After she finished answering the questions in the first round, she was immediately enveloped by a bubble. She did not see Xiao Nai appear, as it was impossible to see or hear anything outside from within the bubbles during the first round.

The Light Sword surrounded the middle-aged man, shocking him. What kind of soul skill was this? With no time to think, he lit up his second soul ring: Fur Shield! Instantly, the hair on his body turned the color of bronze and wrapped around him, turning him into a fur ball with a person inside.

Puchi!

However, the gap between their Martial Souls and soul skills was simply too vast; the Light Sword pierced directly through the Fur Shield, thrusting toward the man inside.

"Sorry, uncle."

Yield? While it was true that he and Xiao Nai likely had a higher chance of surviving the deep adventure than the middle-aged man, when it came to matters of life and death, they would not yield out of soft-heartedness.

The middle-aged man: "..."

"Who on earth are you people?"

As he asked this, a golden light extinguished the Light Sword soul skill.

How could ordinary teenage soul masters be this strong?

"Students of Shrek Academy," Zheng Li replied calmly.

"Shrek..." The middle-aged man's pupils constricted. He fell silent for a moment before saying with resignation, "As expected of the number one academy on the continent. I lost, though I'm not convinced..."

Zheng Li: "??"

What did he mean by not convinced?

Was he good at trash talk?

"Failure. Entering deep adventure."

Golden and silver light fell upon the middle-aged man, and he vanished in an instant.

Wang Xin'er naturally heard this and said in surprise, "I didn't expect them to be from Shrek Academy. No, after I get out, I have to tell my great-grandmother that I want to go to Shrek too..."

As for her true motives, only she knew.

The expressions of the other two peers also changed. Of course, there was a competitive spirit in their eyes as well; they had originally intended to apply to the Star Luo National Academy.

But more than anything, they hoped not to be chosen for a battle like the one the middle-aged man had faced, as it was a matter of life and death.

After the match, bubbles enveloped Zheng Li and Xiao Nai once again, and the golden light and the roulette wheel began to spin.

"Hm? Me?" When the golden light stopped, it landed on Wang Xin'er's bubble, and the pattern on the roulette wheel was...

Zheng Li: "..."

He had guessed it.

"Rule: The golden light will select another person. You must kiss this person for one minute. Success means you pass; failure means you enter deep adventure," the calm voice announced. "Beginning selection..."

Wang Xin'er: "..."

After being rendered speechless, the little girl immediately blew up!

"No, no, no!" Wang Xin'er shook her head and shouted in protest, "This is still my first kiss! You whatever-valley, how can you be so shameless!"

The calm voice rejected her: "Protest invalid! You may choose to enter the deep adventure directly!"

Calling it shameless? Damn! I thought you were cute and gave you an easy one, and you're still not happy! Do you want me to give you a guy instead!

"I don't want that either!"

That was a fifty percent chance of death!

She had never won a single bet in her life; her luck could be described as terrible, and if she really went into a deep adventure, there was a high probability she would die...

She wanted to refuse, but the little girl was almost crying from anxiety. She could accept Xiao Nai, and Zheng Li... she could barely manage!

As for the other two? She didn't even know who they were! She definitely didn't want that!

Conversely, the other two she mentioned looked expectant.

The golden light descended and selected Xiao Nai.

"I knew it..." Zheng Li muttered, shaking his head.

The roulette wheel vanished, and Wang Xin'er and Xiao Nai landed on the ground.

Seeing Xiao Nai, Wang Xin'er's face turned flushed and adorable: "Um, hello, big sister. Look at this... mmph?"

The little girl's eyes widened instantly. Looking at Xiao Nai right in front of her, she was stunned... her brain crashed instantly!

Because after Xiao Nai gave her a calm glance, she kissed her directly!

It felt kind of cool?

So fragrant, so soft... Being this close, big sister seemed even more beautiful...

Sigh~ Why does it feel like I've unlocked something incredible...

Zheng Li: "A bit sour..."

Before they knew it, a minute had passed, and the calm voice spoke right on time: "Wang Xin'er, second round of adventure passed."

Xiao Nai pushed her away calmly.

"Mm..." Because of the sudden departure from Xiao Nai's embrace, combined with her brain still being in a crashed state, Wang Xin'er swayed and almost fell over. "I feel a bit lost..."

After she whispered, a bubble enveloped her and Meng Xiaonai.

Wang Xin'er remained dazed.

The golden light shifted again, landing on one of the peers; the rule was to defeat the opponent, and the opponent was another peer.

The latter won and was selected to enter the deep adventure.

As for this latter person, they were the next one chosen for an adventure, and the content of the adventure was... to withstand three lashes from the calm voice, which ended in failure.

When the golden light fell again, it landed on Zheng Li, and in the roulette area, there were two identical small figures.

Zheng Li: "??"

What was the meaning of this?

This pattern happened to be one of the ones he did not understand.

Chapter 48, Zheng Li points at Meng Xiaonai

"Rule: Do you deeply love your lover? If you love her deeply, then you must be able to pick out the real her from one hundred identical lovers!"

After the calm voice finished speaking, Meng Xiaonai's bubble shattered, and she landed on the ground, while Zheng Li's bubble was no longer transparent and became blurry.

A few seconds later, Zheng Li's bubble shattered.

However, the scene that appeared before his eyes made Zheng Li's eyes widen and his mouth hang slightly open.

Because on the circular platform floor, a large group of... Meng Xiaonai appeared.

After his surprise, the corners of Zheng Li's mouth twitched.

What the hell?
