[Ding! Latest conquest targets updated]
The system notification popped up again. Luo Chen examined it carefully, and sure enough, several more names had appeared in the conquest system.
[Current Xu Xiaoyan affection: 31/100] [Current Ye Xinglan affection: 21/100] [Current Yuanen Yehui affection: 27/100]
Luo Chen: "??"
It looked like the grandmaster would have to come out of retirement again.
[Luckily, Qian Renxue doesn't know I'm going to pursue other women. With her temper, she'd really take her Angel Holy Sword and hit me with an Angel God's Judgment.]
Outside the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue's aura kept surging as she heard this. "Luo Chen!!! Don't let me catch you!!!"
Compared to Qian Renxue's fury, Hu Liena was thoroughly puzzled. "Why does Luo Chen always bring up Qian Renxue? Am I really not as good as her?"
Besides those two from Spirit Hall, Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also puffing out her little cheeks in anger.
"Conquests, conquests! That's all you think about, Luo Chen! Aren't you afraid you'll exhaust yourself to death at night?"
Of course, Luo Chen had no idea that Qian Renxue and the others already knew his innermost thoughts.
"The most pressing thing is to finish the Five Gods' Duel and settle matters here in the Star Luo Empire."
Only three matches remained: the Soul Skill battle, the weapons battle, and finally, the Battle Armor battle!
The next day,
Although Star Luo Stadium was still packed to capacity, the enthusiasm was noticeably lower than it had been for the first two matches.
The Soul Skill battle was also the match the Star Luo Empire had the least confidence in. With so many Soul Spirits, could Luo Chen possibly be short on Soul Skills?
Moreover, several of Luo Chen's Soul Spirits had joined forces yesterday and defeated even Zhang Geyang. He had been wearing Battle Armor at the time, too!
Could they win today's Soul Skill battle?
If word spread that they had lost three matches in a row, would the Star Luo Empire have any face left?
Seeing the Star Luo Empire sunk in such gloom from top to bottom,
The two Emperors of the Star Luo Empire outside the Sky Screen were both seething.
"A nation's emperor, brought to his knees by a setback like this? The Dai Family really is hopeless. My Xu Family should sit on that throne instead!" Xu Jiawei said.
At that moment, his heart was filled with both sorrow and joy.
With the Star Luo Empire being crushed to this extent, he should naturally have been furious.
But... when he thought of his own younger sister taking over the Star Luo Empire, things somehow seemed better again.
Meanwhile, inside the Sky Screen, even today's commentator at the stadium sounded dispirited.
"Today, we have the third match of the Five Gods' Duel: the Soul Skill battle."
The commentator was just about to continue when Luo Chen interrupted him.
"Um, why don't we hold the fourth match today too? I'll fight both matches at once!"
"The Soul Skill battle doesn't restrict Soul Spirits, right? I'll have my Soul Spirit fight for me!"
Those words instantly reignited the Star Luo Empire's flagging spirits.
"What do you mean? Fighting two matches at once? With different rules, no less? Do you really think our Star Luo Empire is a soft persimmon you can squeeze?"
"Hmph! I'd say Luo Chen is just young and arrogant because he's got a little strength. Just wait. Let's see how he gets slapped in the face."
"Holding the Soul Skill battle and the weapons battle at the same time? Does he really think he can win by relying on Soul Spirits?"
Even those on the dais were infuriated by Luo Chen's words.
"Two matches at once! How did he even come up with that?" Dai Tianling said angrily.
Although Soul Spirits were allowed in the Soul Skill battle, its main focus was still combat between Soul Masters!
If Luo Chen relied solely on his Soul Spirit, they might actually have a chance of winning the Soul Skill battle!
After all, the one fighting in that match was a Limit Douluo!
At that moment, the minister who had previously delivered the message approached Dai Tianling. "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Luo Chen is certain to lose the weapons battle. That is why he has resorted to this desperate measure."
"Oh? You mean Luo Chen doesn't know how to use weapons at all?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Luo Chen's Martial Soul has essentially nothing to do with weapons, and Mechas are forbidden in the weapons battle. He is merely trying to save himself some face."
The minister said.
After considering it for a while, Dai Tianling actually agreed to Luo Chen's request. After all, the weapons battle was also the match they were most confident in.
He had spent no small amount of breath persuading Chu Tiange to use their divine national guardian artifact, the Golden Diamond Bracelet.
Whether Luo Chen knew how to use weapons or not, he would lose!
"Very well! Then both matches will take place at once. Let us see what tricks this Luo Chen can pull!"
With Dai Tianling's order issued, the referee in the stadium received the instructions and made the corresponding adjustments.
"Luo Chen, we will do as you requested and hold two matches simultaneously: the Soul Skill battle and the weapons battle."
"Your opponent in the Soul Skill battle is His Excellency Tong Yu, the Qilin Douluo."
"And your opponent in the weapons battle is the greatest weapons master of this age, the Worship Hall's chief worshipper, the rank ninety-seven Super Douluo, His Excellency Chu Tiange, the Blood-Weeping Douluo!"
Compared to Tong Yu, Chu Tiange clearly enjoyed far greater fame in the Star Luo Empire.
That was why the referee placed particular emphasis on Chu Tiange's introduction.
None of the spectators in the stadium had expected the Star Luo Empire to actually agree to Luo Chen's request.
"Fine, then. Let's see how Luo Chen makes a fool of himself," the spectators murmured.
Two figures slowly appeared at the entrance.
One was covered in multicolored scales, with one blue eye and one red eye that looked distinctly strange. He was Tong Yu, the Qilin Douluo.
The other was an old man in an antiquated long robe: Chu Tiange, the Blood-Weeping Douluo.
"According to the rules, you may only use Soul Skills when fighting His Excellency Tong Yu!"
"And when fighting Chu Tiange, you may only use weapons! You may not use any Soul Skills!"
"I understand. Hurry up and announce the start," Luo Chen said.
As Luo Chen finished speaking, the Snow Empress, who had appeared in yesterday's Soul Spirit battle, took the field again.
"Why is it her?" Dai Tianling asked in confusion.
Although he did not recognize the Ice Empress or the Snow Empress, judging by yesterday's performance, the Ice Empress should have been stronger, shouldn't she?
Why send out the Snow Empress?
Could it be because everyone had witnessed the Ice Empress's strength during yesterday's battle with Zhang Geyang?
The Snow Empress had merely provided some support from the sidelines.
"Hmph! He won't even bring out his strongest Soul Spirit. He simply has no regard for our Star Luo Empire!"
Outside the Sky Screen, Xu Jiawei from the Peerless Tang Sect era was dumbfounded by those words.
"What? That's the Snow Empress! She's ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts! If she teamed up with the Ice Empress, they might even be able to take on Di Tian!"
"How has the Star Luo Empire forgotten who the Snow Empress is after ten thousand years?"
At that moment, inside Luo Chen's Sea of Consciousness, the Ice Empress was already raising an uproar.
"Why are you letting the Snow Empress go instead of me? I didn't even get my fill of fighting yesterday!"
"That Tong Yu is a Limit Douluo. Better let the Snow Empress handle him," Luo Chen said soothingly.
"That's right, Bing'er. It's time I got some exercise too." The Snow Empress's voice also rang out from his Sea of Consciousness.
"All right..." the Ice Empress said helplessly.
Luo Chen, meanwhile, approached Chu Tiange. With a turn of his wrist, the Golden Trident appeared in his hand.
"Let's see what your Star Luo Empire can use against my Golden Trident in this battle of weapons."
