The light of resurrection filled the entire giant screen. When it faded, everyone saw that Wu Changkong was nowhere to be found in the great cosmic arena. Only the God of Games remained.
At Eastsea Academy, Wu Changkong silently appeared. The God of Games had sent him back, and a message appeared in his mind at the same time.
"Your resurrected lover is in your faculty dormitory."
Upon receiving this message, Wu Changkong was undoubtedly excited. Unable to contain himself, he hurriedly rushed toward his dormitory.
After reaching his faculty dormitory, he paused and softened his movements, afraid of startling her.
The dormitory door slowly opened. He looked inside and found an ordinary faculty dormitory.
A living room, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a balcony-he did not see the figure he had yearned for day and night.
Could she be... in the bathroom?
The thought flashed through Wu Changkong's mind. He went to the bathroom door and knocked, but there was no movement inside. He opened it and took a look, but she was not there. In the end, he could only go to the bedroom door.
Somewhat unsettled, he knocked on the bedroom door. There was no response, but Wu Changkong heard steady breathing.
At that moment, his heart began beating faster. Even his right hand trembled as it gripped the doorknob. Still, he opened the bedroom door and looked inside, just in time to see a petite figure sleeping soundly on his bed...
In the great cosmic arena, the God of Games addressed the giant screen with impassioned enthusiasm:
"Then let's begin the final duel of this round! Lucky wheel, spin!"
As his words fell, the lucky wheel spun rapidly once more, finally stopping on the golden peak battle section.
"Round three! A peak battle! Now, let's draw the opponents!"
The lucky wheel spun again, and its pointer finally stopped on Shrek Academy. Seeing the result, everyone at Shrek Academy immediately grew excited. It was finally their turn!
Their opponent was drawn as well, with the pointer stopping in an enormous crimson-black section.
[Abyss] [Shrek] vs. [Abyss]
Incidentally, because the Abyss was an entire plane, its section on the wheel was as large as that of the whole Douluo Star.
There was also a rule: if the Abyss was drawn, the next draw would definitely not select the Abyss.
After all, internal battles within the Abyss were hardly worth watching. Douluo fighting the Abyss was what made for a good show. Furthermore, because Douluo's factions were so intricately intertwined, viewers could see Douluo characters fighting other Douluo characters, or Douluo fighting the Abyss, but never the Abyss fighting the Abyss.
"All right, players from Shrek Academy on Douluo Star and contestants from the Abyss Plane, each of you has one vote. You will decide who takes part in this duel!"
The God of Games snapped his fingers. A ballot box appeared before each student of Shrek Academy in Shrek City, along with a sheet of paper. They only needed to write down a name or title to cast their vote.
Things were much the same in the Abyss, which needed to send a powerful expert at the peak of Quasi-God. Over at Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming volunteered.
"Everyone, let me take the field. I will surely secure victory in this battle."
Seeing Yun Ming put himself forward, everyone voiced their support. Mu En and Xuan Zi could both sense his formidable strength, far above their own. He had even transcended Douluo Star and drawn infinitely close to the realm of gods.
Seeing that such an unparalleled genius as Yun Ming would emerge ten thousand years later, Mu En and Xuan Zi could not help sighing in admiration. He had broken through to Titled Douluo at twenty-three and become a Limit Douluo at thirty-one. Such talent left them awestruck.
"Good."
Soon, everyone wrote down the name or title of the person they wished to vote for. On Shrek Academy's voting system, the votes for Atlas Douluo Yun Ming began rising wildly.
In Shrek Academy's inner court, a gentle woman with black hair looked at the vote count and the announcement issued by Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, then cast her vote as well.
At the same time, a twelve-year-old girl with fiery-red hair also cast her vote.
Beside Flender stood several figures: an eight-year-old child with white hair and green eyes, a nine-year-old child with blond hair and uncanny eyes, and a red-haired little fatty.
They were none other than Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. At Tang San's instigation, these three had come looking for trouble quite a few times. When Lin Huan fled, he had assassinated them along the way.
Of course, this did not stop Lin Huan from stirring things up. He did not mind sending Shrek Academy into a bit more of a chicken-flying, dog-jumping uproar.
They cast their votes as well. Once the one-minute voting period ended, the God of Games suspended voting and announced the results!
The catgirl Ying Yueyue sorted out all the voting records. Yun Ming had eight hundred votes, while the Abyss's Blaze Emperor had tens of thousands. There was no helping it-the Abyss had so many creatures.
[Yun Ming vs. Blaze Emperor]
Information about the two combatants appeared on the giant screen. Ying Yueyue immediately activated her innate skill, God of Guides! With a single glance, she saw both sides' information.
Douluo side: Yun Ming, Atlas Douluo, Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion Master. Level 99, peak Quasi-God. Martial Soul: Atlas Spear. Innate ability: Air Ban. Soul Rings: two black, five red, two orange-gold. Spiritual power realm: Divine Origin Realm. Has condensed demigod godhood. Spear Soul Realm. Self-created forbidden arts. Abyss side: Blaze Emperor, ruler of the Abyss's third layer. Peak Quasi-God. Commands divine power. Three meters tall. Possesses monstrous strength and blazing fire. Weapon: Super Divine Artifact • Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd.
Looking at the information Ying Yueyue had compiled, Lin Huan could not help clicking his tongue in wonder. As expected of Yueyue's Mom-this guide was certainly detailed.
Soon, two pillars of light descended onto the great cosmic arena, and two figures stepped out of them.
Yun Ming stood with his spear in hand, a gentle, refined, confident smile on his face. Opposite him, the Blaze Emperor looked immensely burly, with purple skin and four arms, like a four-armed overlord.
Meanwhile, he held a silver-white halberd in his hands. It was none other than the Super Divine Artifact, the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd.
At the sight of that silver-white halberd, Yun Ming paused. This seemed to be the divine artifact belonging to that Plane Master of the Abyss... Six years ago, it had even slain Plane Master Tang Hao, cutting his head clean off.
"It looks like this battle may be very tricky..."
Yun Ming's gaze grew grave as he felt the oppressive pressure the Blaze Emperor brought to bear on him. Looking at the tiny human before him, the Blaze Emperor gave a disdainful sneer.
"A mere insignificant ant. To deal with you, I don't even need to use the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd bestowed upon me by my lord."
As he spoke, the Blaze Emperor put away the 2.3-meter silver-white halberd in his hands. He was exceedingly conceited, believing that the ants of Douluo Star were absolutely no match for him.
Yun Ming remained silent. Although this was a little underhanded, if his opponent did not use the Super Divine Artifact, his chances of victory would be greater. For Douluo Continent, for Shrek Academy, he had to win!
