Surrender

PS: I nearly forgot I had another novel over here. Haven't updated in weeks, really... don't miss it.

Xiao Xiao gave an evil smile and said slowly, "First Soul Skill, Ghost Vine World Annihilation!"

Dongfang Linyue's entire worldview was instantly overturned. Wait, wasn't he supposed to be an auxiliary-type Spirit Master?! Why wasn't this Evil Brilliance playing by the rules?!

An auxiliary-type martial soul taking the assault route could only be described as a little cow... except he seemed to be male... whatever. A little cow stepping on power lines—sparks and lightning all the way!

As an assault-type Spirit Master, Dongfang Linyue had no defensive soul skills. And this was a death match; neither side was supposed to stop until the other had been sent to their grave. So, Dongfang Linyue could only close her eyes and quietly await death.

Yet all she heard was the laughter from across from her, laughter he could not hold back. The pain Dongfang Linyue had expected never came.

Xiao Xiao would not truly kill Dongfang Linyue. Wasn't Spirit Hall recruiting talents lately? If he helped raise this girl's Soul Power a little more, his teacher should agree to let her join.

PS: Ah! Linyue, my little girl, why does it feel like you're going after my little goose?! (Though she doesn't seem to have done anything...)

Dongfang Linyue opened her beautiful eyes with slight confusion. That attack was less than a foot away from her. If it had come any closer, she might have... you know, died on the spot~

"I don't want to kill anyone in this match. Admit defeat." As the attack gradually vanished, Xiao Xiao spoke slowly.

PS: Saint Xiao, hahahahaha!

Dongfang Linyue stood frozen for a long while. Though unwilling, she understood the gap in strength between herself and him. Only after a long time did she say, "Fine... I surrender!..."

The host floating in the air was dumbfounded. The nobles were dumbfounded. The audience was dumbfounded as well.

Good heavens! It had ended so quickly! But compared to what they had expected, it was not merely somewhat different—it was completely different!!

And Xiao Xiao called it: a warm-up.

The host wiped away cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead before finally announcing, "The winner of this match is Evil Brilliance!"

Very soon, someone questioned it. "Is he really auxiliary-type? Did he falsify his registration? What kind of joke is this? What auxiliary-type Spirit Master has assault-type soul skills?!"

"Exactly! There must be something shady going on! How could my Sister Linyue possibly lose?!"

Xiao Xiao swept his gaze around and sighed. He truly was auxiliary-type, but the audience did not believe him. What could he do about it? Was he supposed to go on a killing spree in the Spirit Dueling Arena?... There was no need for that.

Xiao Xiao's three great principles: do not slaughter innocents, do not stir up trouble for no reason, and do not create unnecessary complications.

Of course, he had made up those principles himself. Whether he could actually uphold them was another matter~

Dongfang Linyue looked at Xiao Xiao, slightly lost in thought. Was this guy's strength really only at this level? Probably not...

Xiao Xiao seemed to notice Dongfang Linyue's confusion, so he sent her a voice transmission: If you have anything to say, we can talk after leaving the Spirit Dueling Arena.

After leaving the Spirit Dueling Arena

"Can you tell me now? Also, is Evil Brilliance your codename?" Dongfang Linyue asked impatiently.

Xiao Xiao nodded. "Evil Brilliance... that's my title. A title counts as a codename, I suppose. My name is Xiao Xiao."

Dongfang Linyue was startled. "A... title?! Xiao Xiao, don't joke with me!"

Seeing her reaction, as though she had never seen a Titled Douluo in her life, Xiao Xiao teased, "Don't tell me you've never seen a Titled Douluo before?"

"Who says I haven't!? I have!" Dongfang Linyue immediately retorted.

PS: I feel like I've gone way too easy on them... What should I do? This is so bad?!
