Why Fight One-on-One When You Can Gang Up? The Thunder Dragon Sect, a Comic-Version Yu Xiaogang?

After hearing that, Lu Wudao nearly burst out laughing.

Seven against seven, a wager decided by individual duels?

With the strength of an entire continent, Xuanwu Continent could naturally crush Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars without any trouble.

But the question was, why leave Soul Tools unused? Why fight one-on-one when they could gang up?

As for Bo Saixi herself?

Even if Bo Saixi enjoyed every advantage of the terrain out at sea, with combat strength reaching the demigod level.

Xuanwu Continent still had several people stronger than her!

As for how confidently Bo Saixi had spoken, as though she had a trump card?

What a joke!

Even the divine artifact of the Sea God Inheritance was nothing special to Xuanwu Continent!

Before coming to Douluo Continent this time, Xuanwu Continent had successively visited Heaven Dou, Star Luo (the names used for these two continents in the original Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King and Douluo IV; they were not yet called that in this era), and Sun Moon Continent.

On those three continents, the people of Xuanwu Continent had found several divine artifacts apiece.

Even if Bo Saixi relied on having a divine artifact at her disposal, what did that amount to before Xuanwu Continent?

Just then, Lu Ye sent Lu Wudao a voice transmission.

"Wudao, I'll send enough Titled Douluos shortly to fill out the roster for the wagered individual duels against Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars.

"As for Bo Saixi, if she needs to be fought, the empire will also send a matching powerhouse.

"Your Sea-Breaker Advance Team should keep Sea God Island occupied for now.

"I'll dispatch another group to take a detour and land on Douluo Continent."

Lu Ye spoke with an indifferent expression.

"Yes, Imperial Father!"

Lu Wudao replied, delight appearing on his face.

"May I ask which powerhouses you intend to transfer here to deal with Sea God Island, Imperial Father?"

"Your Sea-Breaker Advance Team doesn't have many Titled Douluos besides Ye Shaozhe.

"For the remaining slots, we'll draw from the various sects. After we conquer Douluo Continent, the empire will grant larger resource quotas to those who win.

"I imagine they'll scramble to come."

Lu Ye smiled faintly.

"Especially the Thunder Dragon Sect's sect master. For his precious son Yu Xiaogang, he'll seize every means of gathering resources."

(Note: this Yu Xiaogang uses the comic-version Yu Xiaogang template. You can look forward to the two meeting [Yu Xiaogang abuse].)

The Thunder Dragon Sect was, in fact, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect under another name.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Xuanwu Continent had reached Douluo Continent's shores. A branch of the Yu family's ancestors had come to Xuanwu Continent to spread its roots and establish the Thunder Dragon Sect.

Their circumstances had been decent at first.

But as Xuanwu Continent came into contact with the other three continents.

More and more top-tier and super Martial Soul lineages came to Xuanwu Continent.

The Thunder Dragon Sect's room to survive was severely squeezed.

Especially when it came to dragon Martial Souls.

On Xuanwu Continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul's position was far worse than on Douluo Continent.

On Douluo Continent, there were indeed quite a few Beast Martial Souls stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

But most lacked a systematic lineage.

That allowed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to claim the title of "Douluo Continent's number one Beast Martial Soul."

But on Xuanwu Continent.

The Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, Dark Sacred Dragon, Radiant Sacred Dragon, Mountain Dragon King...

Which of those Martial Souls did not crush the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

Of course, this Mountain Dragon King was not a true Dragon King Martial Soul. It would be more appropriate to call it a "Mountain Dragon."

It was only because the Mountain Dragon clan had transformed their bodies into mountains and continents to help the dragon race live and multiply that the Dragon God had bestowed upon them the title, "Mountain Dragons shall forever be kings."

Yu Xiaogang?

Lu Wudao murmured the name inwardly, looking thoughtful.

He remembered this man.

He could be considered something of a "legend" among Xuanwu Continent's younger generation.

Yu Xiaogang was the youngest son of Yu Chuanwu, the Thunder Dragon Sect's sect master.

Great hopes had been placed upon him in his youth, but unexpectedly, he had awakened a Trash Martial Soul, "Luo Sanpao," with only half a level of innate Soul Power.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang was tenacious, and his extensive learning in Martial Soul Theory earned him respect.

Beyond that, Yu Xiaogang persisted in cultivating.

Yu Chuanwu had also overridden all objections and given Yu Xiaogang all of the Thunder Dragon Sect's few opportunities, such as "tempering the body within the Core Spirit Vein of the Ancestor's Carapace."

This allowed Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao Martial Soul to evolve. Now, it was only one final step away from truly evolving into a Radiant Sacred Dragon.

For Yu Xiaogang's sake, Yu Chuanwu would definitely participate!

Yu Chuanwu, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, level 95 Super Douluo!

At those words, the expressions of all the officers aboard the Sea-Breaker shifted slightly.

But the greater stir came from the enormous Sky Screen hanging high in the heavens!

Hum-!

The divine radiance of the Sky Screen above the firmament abruptly blazed, and the live image instantly locked onto Bo Saixi and Lu Wudao.

The Sky Screen's grand, indifferent mechanical voice once again resounded throughout Douluo Star:

[Sky Screen live broadcast: a life-and-death showdown on Sea God Island! Wagered individual duels against the Seven Sacred Pillars!] [Combatants: Xuanwu Empire's Sea-Breaker Advance Fleet VS Douluo Continent's Sea God Island Sacred Pillar Guardians!] [Rules: seven individual duels, without the aid of the warships' heavy main cannons. A clash of pure strength!]

In an instant, the bullet comments in both the Douluo Continent and Xuanwu Continent sections refreshed wildly like an avalanche!

Spirit City, before the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong looked up at the Sky Screen, light flickering wildly in her eyes:

"A seven-against-seven wager?

"Bo Saixi actually forced the Xuanwu Empire's prince to agree to individual duels?!"

Looking exhilarated, Chrysanthemum Douluo said eagerly:

"Your Holiness!

"This is an opportunity sent from heaven!

"The Xuanwu Empire's arrogance and tyranny rest entirely on those clever contraptions called Soul Tools!

"If they truly lose their warships' main cannons, and it comes down to individual Soul Masters' Martial Soul mastery, Soul Skill combinations, and combat instincts, how could they possibly match Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars?!"

"Exactly!"

Ghost Douluo agreed.

"Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars have cultivated bitterly under the Sea God's Light for years. All seven are Titled Douluos between levels ninety-one and ninety-five, and Sea Dragon Douluo has even reached the peak of level ninety-five!

"Moreover, out on the vast ocean, they possess an absolute advantage in terrain!

"If it's purely a contest of Martial Souls, Bo Saixi has made the right bet!"

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the Sky Screen. Though she said nothing, the tension in her eyes eased a little.

In her view, Xuanwu Continent possessed advanced technology, with an endless succession of Soul Tools.

But that often meant their Soul Masters would rely excessively on external aids.

In tempering their own Soul Power and fighting will, they could never compare to the Titled Douluos who had fought their way through Douluo Continent's brutal battles!

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly slapped the stone table, confidence blazing from his eyes:

"Brilliant!

"Senior Bo Saixi's move struck straight at the Xuanwu Empire's weak spot!"

Beside him, Liu Erlong frowned and asked:

"Xiaogang, why are you so certain?"

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head, and offered an inscrutable analysis:

"Erlong, you don't understand Martial Soul Core Competitiveness Theory!

"A person's time and effort are limited.

"The Xuanwu Empire has spent vast amounts of time and resources manufacturing giant steel warships and Soul Tools.

"Their Soul Masters must have neglected the fundamental cultivation of their Martial Souls!"

"Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars are top powerhouses steeped in ocean combat for decades!

"Sea Dragon Douluo's Sea Dragon Martial Soul is even a top-tier water-type Beast Martial Soul, with water-control abilities unrivaled beneath the heavens!

"Once deprived of the Sea-Breaker's shield and support from its massive cannons, the Xuanwu Empire's Titled Douluos will be like tigers with their teeth pulled out on the sea. They cannot possibly match the Seven Sacred Pillars!"
