Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Screw Over Tang San
Having an affair is fun in the moment, but now that things are out in the open, it just doesn't feel right anymore. But even if we can't have an affair with these two, we still have Qian Renxue and Tang Yuehua to have an affair with!
Next time, I can also win over Xue Ke, but I wonder what will happen to Ye Lingling, Gong Yu thought to himself.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Now that Oscar had run away, there was no need for her to pretend anymore. Since what's done is done, why should she live such a tiring life?
Liu Erlong blushed, thought for a moment, and then said, "No, I prefer peace and quiet, and I'm still used to living in my little wooden house."
"Suit yourself, it's not far anyway!" Gong Yu said casually. What does "not far" mean? It means you can go anytime!
As the group chatted, Xue Ye appeared in the VIP section, followed by Ning Fengzhi, Platinum Bishop Salas, and others.
The training ground has been renovated, with a 100-meter-diameter area marked out in the center as the competition arena. Compared to the preliminary rounds, the space here is much larger, making it easier to showcase one's abilities.
On the north side of the training ground, a temporary VIP seating area, which also served as the referee's seat, was set up facing south. This time, there weren't as many VIPs as last time.
Apart from Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Platinum Bishop Salas, who were in the first row, all the VIPs were seated.
The seats behind were occupied by the three academic committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, people dressed as military officers, and some high-ranking members of the Martial Soul Temple Spirit Hall Heaven Dou City.
After a group of people whispered among themselves...
Shortly after, Xue Ye rose from his VIP seat and announced loudly through his Soul Tool: "The qualifying rounds officially begin today. Over the next fourteen days, I hope that all academy teams will fully demonstrate their strength and showcase the true spirit of Soul Master."
As soon as Xue Ye finished speaking, a chorus of shouts, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, rang out in unison. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The Royal Knights raised their lances high, the clanging of their armor and their booming shouts startling the participating Soul Master. The grandeur of a great nation was unmistakable.
The first match has begun, and the first to appear is none other than Shitrek Academy, whose opponent is Barak Academy.
The school at the Shitrek Academy wasn't very strong; Oscar was the first to be sent out, and he immediately conceded defeat.
When Oscar appeared, he drew gasps of disbelief from the surrounding students, who wondered if Oscar had lost his mind and ended up at the Shitrek Academy.
Some even suspect that the Academy of the Gods was poached by the Shitrek Academy, so some people are also thinking about poaching their own students.
Ning Fengzhi, in particular, is currently seething with hatred for the Academy of the Gods. That day, Sword Douluo was clearly going to the Academy of the Gods to capture someone, but he ended up fighting with "Tang Hao" and was even killed by "Tang Hao". On the contrary, the Academy of the Gods seemed to have remained uninvolved and suffered no losses whatsoever.
Therefore, he was even more eager to poach people from the Academy of the Gods. Since the sect had lost a Titled Douluo, he had to find a way to bring back a few geniuses to train so that the sect could have more Titled Douluo in the future.
On the other side, when Oscar came on stage, Shitrek looked at the Academy of the Gods with a mocking expression.
In such a competition, even if someone needs to participate, it wouldn't be the turn of a food-type Soul Master like Aisika. But Oscar was ultimately sent up to concede defeat, which was clearly a deliberate arrangement by Shitrek's side to send Oscar up to annoy the Academy of the Gods.
"I want to beat them up." On the Academy of the Gods side, Gong Xiao had already summoned his Golden Bamboo Staff Martial Soul.
Gong Yu placed a hand on Gong Xiao's shoulder and said, "There's no need to lower yourself to the level of a bunch of ants. But since Oscar is willing to be their tool, he should naturally pay back the benefits he received from us. Someone will deal with him later."
Liu Erlong, standing to the side, was unaware that the benefit Gong Yu mentioned referred to Oscar's cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. However, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I'll make Flender pay back the money later. I lent him money to set up an academy, not so he could use people to annoy me."
Chapter 201 A Challenge from Feng Xiaotian
Oscar's appearance was just a minor incident; after he conceded defeat, the members of the Shitrek Academy Team also took to the field one after another.
However, the players from the Barak Academy Team didn't seem to be very strong either. After Shitrek, Oscar sent out four more players in a row. These four were hired academies, plus Ma Hongjun, and all of them were defeated by one player from the Barak Academy team.
The situation only improved after Dai Mubai entered the arena, but Dai Mubai was defeated after defeating three members of the Barak Academy Team.
Next up was Tang San, the final member of Shitrek's team.
The moment Ning Fengzhi saw Tang San appear, his eyes flashed with killing intent. He didn't care why Tang Hao wanted to kill Sword Douluo. Since Tang Hao had made his move, the so-called unity of the Upper Three Sects had become an empty phrase.
Tang San naturally became a thorn in Ning Fengzhi's side. In addition, given Tang San's Twin Martial Souls, if left unchecked, they would only make the Clear Sky Sect stronger and stronger. So it's no wonder that Ning Fengzhi determined to kill him.
Tang San took to the field and immediately took on three opponents. Although he had expended a lot of energy, he seemed to still have some left. Next, he would face the captain of the Barak Academy Team.
The captain of the Barak Academy Team was a tall young man who was a Soul Ancestor. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, before the referee could announce the start of the match, he released his Martial Soul, which was a flower with a red center and orange petals.
"Sunflower." On the field, Tang San frowned. His opponent was a Soul Master with a plant-based Martial Soul. The Sunflower was clearly superior in quality to the Blue Silver Grass and possessed strong restrictive abilities.
Both were Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, so it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker. However, Tang San had only fought three rounds, so he was naturally at a disadvantage. In addition, his opponent's Martial Soul quality was superior to Blue Silver Grass, so even with his many tricks up his sleeve, Tang San felt it wouldn't be easy to win.
"The match begins." Following the referee's announcement, the First Soul Ring on the captain of the Barak Academy Team lit up immediately.
The Sunflower in his hand grew rapidly in the wind, instantly increasing to a meter in diameter, and the long stem he held in his hand reached more than three meters, transforming into a strange weapon.
With a wave of his hand, a thick cloud of yellow mist was released from the Sunflower, directly enveloping Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San could not advance, so he had no choice but to retreat, taking large steps backward.
Even so, he could still smell a faint floral fragrance.
The fragrance was faint, but Tang San immediately felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
"The fragrance is poisonous." Tang San looked at the other person, his eyes narrowing into slits, clearly not expecting to encounter a fellow traveler here.
Tang San understood that, among those of the same level, especially when their Soul Power was not much different, poison Soul Master had a great advantage. As long as they used it properly, they could greatly restrict their opponents.
Judging from the Barak Academy advantages and disadvantages, only water and fire elemental Martial Soul can counter him, apart from Martial Soul specifically designed to counter poison. If his poison is even more potent, then only the most extreme water and fire elemental souls can counter him.
A tightness shot through his chest; Tang San knew the poison had begun to take effect. Unfortunately, he hadn't undergone the tempering of ice and fire in this timeline, so he raised his hand and pressed several acupoints on various parts of his body. Then, he quickly defended himself while simultaneously channeling his Soul Power to suppress the poison.
His opponent didn't pursue him; a sinister smile crept across his lips as he waved the Sunflower in his hand, blowing large plumes of yellow mist toward him.
As the area covered by the yellow mist began to expand, his first two Soul Ring lit up simultaneously.
Clearly, he used two Soul Skill at the same time: one was to enlarge the Sunflower, and the other was to unleash this poisonous mist.
What should I do?
Tang San frowned instantly, his gaze sharp as he looked at his opponent. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a weakness in his opponent.
That's right, it's a flaw.
Tang San's lips curled into a sly smile. His opponent's weakness was poor close-range defense, and there was no yellow mist within at least an arm's width around his opponent's body, nor behind him.
Normally, Tang San wouldn't be afraid of this minor poison; he could easily cure it. However, the problem is that they are on the competition field, where external aids are not allowed. Otherwise, it would be against the rules and he would be disqualified.
Therefore, even if he had the ability to detoxify, he was at a loss and could only prevent poisoning by closing acupoints and holding his breath. Closing acupoints was to prevent the spread of toxins that had already been inhaled into the body, and holding his breath was only to prevent the inhalation of more toxins.
However, now that we've found the opponent's weakness, the methods of closing acupoints and holding our breath are sufficient.
Tang San immediately unleashed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, leaving several afterimages on the field before charging into the opponent's poisonous mist with lightning speed.
Tang San wanted to use his Soul Skill, but his opponent also had a Martial Soul, and it was quite suppressive. So even if he used his Martial Soul, there would be great limitations. In addition, he had already fought three battles and his Soul Power was somewhat insufficient. If he used his Soul Power again, he was afraid he would be completely exhausted.
Whether they can even reach their target is another matter, but if they collapse from exhaustion of their Soul Power, that would be ridiculous.
Therefore, the best way to attack at present is to use your superior movement skills to close the distance and launch a close-range offensive, and then use your Soul Skill to deliver the final blow at the most critical moment. This should yield unexpected results.
Tang San arrived in front of his opponent in an instant. He then used the Xuan Mysterious Jade Hand to strike his opponent several times. He followed Dragon Crane Capturing Dragon, using minimal force to deflect a great force, leaving his opponent completely disoriented. However, Tang San felt that this was clearly not enough, so he used the Purple Demon Eye to give his opponent a mental shock.
At this moment, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was finally unleashed, and he used his First Soul Skill, Snot Entanglement, to wrap his opponent Entanglement a dumpling and throw him off the edge of the arena.
"Out." The referee was quick; after the captain of the Barak Academy Team was thrown out of bounds, he came out and announced, "Match 1 of the qualifying rounds, Shitrek Academy vs. Barak Academy, Shitrek Academy wins."
The results of the match have been announced; the first match has ended.
Half an hour later, it was finally the turn of the Academy of the Gods Team to take the stage.
The first opponent of the Academy of the Gods Team in the qualifying round was the Godwind Academy Team.
Feng Xiaotian was the first member of the Divine Wind Team to enter the arena after receiving permission from the referee.
The Academy of the Gods originally planned to send Gong Xiao first. If Gong Xiao used the Unyielding Staff Technique to counter Feng Xiaotian's Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, he would definitely beat him to a pulp.
Gong Xiao had already taken a few steps and was about to go on stage.
Feng Xiaotian pointed at the Academy of the Gods Team on the field and said, "I'm representing all the members of the Godwind Academy. I'm only representing one person, but I want to fight them. If I lose, the Godwind Academy is out. If you lose a match, I won't ask you to be eliminated immediately; you can send someone else to the field."
Chapter 202 A Scathing Criticism of Feng Xiaotian
On the side of the Academy of the Gods, Gong Yu stood up, his expression calm and unreadable.
He fixed his gaze on Feng Xiaotian and said loudly, "I said I wouldn't participate in the match before facing the Spirit Hall's team. Are you trying to make me go back on my word?"
Feng Xiaotian smiled and said, "That's why our Godwind Academy is paying such a price, sending only me here, just to have a chance to fight you once."
Gong Yu scoffed, "Any one member of our Team of the Gods could easily take on seven members of your Divine Wind Team in a row. So your so-called 'paying a price' has no interest in me whatsoever. Besides, who said that I have to accept the challenge just because you pay a price?"
"Are you scared?" Although this tactic of provocation was childish, Feng Xiaotian had no other choice but to go along with it.
"Heh... I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you if I'm not careful." Gong Yu chuckled coldly. Of course, he knew the other party was trying to provoke him, but if he didn't step in and suppress Feng Xiaotian, everyone else would want to step on him and make a name for themselves.
But if he just went up and fought Feng Xiaotian like that, wouldn't Gong Yu have any pride?
So Gong Yu said again, "I can fight you, but we have to sign a life-or-death contract. Also, I have to declare that this is your personal action, and you are responsible for all the consequences. Even if you are killed, it won't be considered a violation on my part, and it won't result in my Academy of the Gods being expelled. If you agree, then I will fight you."
Gong Yu's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire area. Everyone around, including tens of thousands of royal knights, could hear it clearly.
Everyone was taken aback, not expecting Gong Yu to say such a thing. However, many intelligent people thought about it and understood that Gong Yu did this simply to intimidate those arrogant Soul Master. Otherwise, if everyone from each academy came up to provoke him, he couldn't possibly step in every time.
"Xiaotian, let's just play the game normally. There's no need to take such a risk. It's really not worth dying. Even if you don't die, if you're seriously injured or disabled, it's still a loss." A teacher leading the team from the Godwind Academy shouted at Feng Xiaotian.
Everyone knows that Gong Yu's strength is unfathomable, and Feng Xiaotian is simply not someone he can afford to offend. So when Feng Xiaotian issued the challenge, everyone was already feeling sorry for him.
Feng Xiaotian shouted towards the teacher who had been speaking from his own camp, "No, I will fight this battle, and my life is in the hands of fate."
No one else knew why Feng Xiaotian was so stubborn, so they just thought he was stupid.
Going to your death for no reason is just plain stupid!
Feng Xiaotian then looked at Gong Yu and said loudly, "I am willing to sign a life-or-death contract, and I ask His Majesty the Emperor and the Platinum Bishop to be my witnesses. This is my personal act, and whether I die or am crippled will not affect the upcoming competition of the Academy of the Gods."
Gong Yu smiled slightly, looked at the referee, then at Xue Ye, and asked, "Your Majesty, Bishop Salas, and all the referees, if I kill my opponent under the life-or-death contract, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the competition rules, right?"
"It's not against the rules," said Xue Ye.
Platinum Bishop Salas and the remaining referees unanimously declared, "It doesn't count."
"Alright, I accept your challenge." Gong Yu's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Then let's sign the life-and-death contract now, and I'll send you to be reborn sooner."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's lips twitched slightly, but he did indeed sense the killing intent emanating from Gong Yu.
A few minutes later, the three life-and-death contracts were signed. Gong Yu Feng Xiaotian each kept one copy, while the remaining copy was left for official notarization.
After the contract was signed, Gong Yu Feng Xiaotian immediately faced off on the field.
Shortly after, the referee signaled to both sides that they could release their Martial Soul.
Gong Yu simply stood upright in place like a wooden stake, without making any movement.
Feng Xiaotian let out a long roar, and a faint blue light surged out from his body. As the blue light rippled, his body underwent a clear change.
With a cracking sound from his bones, his muscles and bones expanded simultaneously, making his body noticeably larger. His long hair was also dyed blue, and most strangely, a wolf's head emerged from his left shoulder.
The blue wolf's head stared intently at Gong Yu, its gaze chilling, emanating a Sisi chilling aura.
The Gale Twin-Headed Wolf is a mutated form of the Gale Demon Wolf.
The Gale Demon Wolf was originally a mid-to-high-level Martial Soul, but its mutation into a two-headed wolf transformed it into a near-top-level Martial Soul.
Feng Xiaotian stared at Gong Yu and said, "I am twenty-four years old this year, and my Soul Power is level four. When I Martial Soul Awakening at the age of six, I had Innate Full Soul Power. All my achievements today are the result of my hard work and accumulation."
I know you're strong, but I have to defeat you today because Huo Wu told me that if I defeat the strongest contestant on the field, she'll agree to be my girlfriend. So, for the sake of our Godwind Academy Team, and for Huo Wu's sake, I must defeat you."
Gong Yu scoffed, "Innate Full Soul Power, and you're already twenty-four years old, yet you're only at level forty-four. That means you spent eighteen years cultivating from level ten to forty-four. Even after deducting the four-level boost from the four Soul Ring, you've only gained less than two levels per year on average. You really are a piece of trash."
Being called trash by Gong Yu made Feng Xiaotian's fists clench so tightly they cracked. He was very unhappy, but he couldn't afford to lose his temper, so he quickly explained, "That's because I spent time on Self-Created Soul Skill..."
But before Feng Xiaotian could finish speaking, Gong Yu interrupted him.
Gong Yu said disdainfully, "You're not only a piece of trash, your brain is full of shit too."
"What did you say?" This time, Feng Xiaotian was truly enraged. His brain was full of shit; wasn't he just being called brainless?
"Heh..." Gong Yu chuckled dismissively again, "You lack sufficient knowledge and experience, you lack sufficient practical combat experience, and you lack the time to refine and hone your skills. Even if you create your Self-Created Soul Skill, how powerful will it be? Can it possibly defeat Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill?"
You wasted your prime time for improving your Soul Power on useless Self-Created Soul Skill, resulting in you only having level 44 Soul Power at the age of 24. What else could your brain be but shit?
At this point, Gong Yu paused for a moment, and then continued, "Innate Full Soul Power and had the potential to reach the limit, but he wasted his golden period on useless things, thus missing the best time for cultivation."
Therefore, I dare say that this is the limit for you in your life; there's absolutely Titled Douluo chance of you ever being Soul Douluo to the highest rank. In fact, by the time you reach that Soul Douluo, you'll probably be in your seventies or eighties, and you'll have to pray you actually live to be seventy or eighty."
boom...
After Gong Yu's voice fell, Feng Xiaotian felt a booming sensation in his mind. His face turned very ugly, as if Gong Yu's words made him begin to doubt whether there was really a problem with his own cultivation method.
Chapter 203 Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes
First, they lack sufficient knowledge and experience; second, they lack sufficient practical experience; and third, they lack the time to refine and hone their skills...
Gong Yu's voice still echoed in his ears, resounding and thought-provoking, causing not only Feng Xiaotian to begin to doubt himself, but also the surrounding audience to fall into deep thought.
