Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 348 The Innocent Little Princess: The Elimination Round is About to End

"What a shame!"

On the second day of the knockout stage, Yuwen Tuo finally used the competition as an excuse to get rid of Xu Tianzhen.

He was pestered by Xu Tianzhen until late last night. Xu Tianzhen's innocence, liveliness, or rather, shamelessness, far surpassed that of Ma Xiaotao, Xu Jiujiu, and others.

She had absolutely no burden of being a princess, nor did she understand the meaning of the word "tsundere".

She expressed all her emotions without reservation, and her determination to never let Yuwen Tuo disown her as his sister was comparable to Yuwen Tuo's resolve to kill evil spirit masters.

Moreover, although she is naive, she is not stupid; she even knows how to please Xiao Xiao and others.

"Look, Tuotuo, Princess Tianzhen gave me this amplifying soul tool. It can amplify the power of sound skills by five percent," Xiao Xiao said, fiddling with the small soul tool that resembled a microphone. She seemed to really like it.

"My level 5 invincible shield is pretty good too. I heard it starts at 100,000 gold soul coins on the market." The shield in Ling Luochen's hand was the famous invincible shield. Although it was only level 5, it was valuable enough as a gift.

"I have one too, a knockback bracelet, a one-time use soul tool. Although it's gone after use, it's said to have a very powerful knockback effect. Even Soul Douluos can be knocked back, and even Title Douluos can be hit by it if they're not careful." The power of fate gave Qiu'er a premonition that this thing might be of great use to her later.

Don't let Xu Tianzhen's seemingly silly appearance fool you; she's actually a top student at the Mingdu Soul Master Academy.

Mingdu Soul Master Academy is the second-best academy in the Sun Moon Empire after the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

She had done her research beforehand; she knew she had three younger siblings, so she prepared three extra gifts in advance.

In fact, Yuwen Tuo also had one, and it was a level-seven soul tool, a high-explosive destruction bomb, that she had asked the academy teachers to carefully make.

An upgraded version of the Level 6 high-explosive shell.

It can highly compress fire-attribute soul power, amplify its instability through the core array of a level-seven soul tool, and then launch it. Once it hits a target or encounters any obstacle, it will unleash a powerful explosion.

It is also a disposable item, but with Yuwen Tuo's current soul power and the powerful fire attribute of the ultimate fire, the power that bursts out in an instant is comparable to the full-force attack of a titled Douluo.

It's clear that Xu Tianzhen genuinely doesn't want to get involved in the intricacies of imperial power; she simply wants to be a good older sister to her only younger brother.

In the new elimination rounds, she even rallied her entire team, put up banners, and cheered for Yuwen Tuo just like his fans.

The only difference is the content, which ranges from things like "Yuwentuo, keep it up!" to "Yuwentuo, I want to have your babies."

It turned into, "Little brother, little brother, may you win first place!"

Xu Tianran frowned as he looked at Xu Tianzhen's baffling actions. "What's wrong with Tianzhen? She's actually cheering for Yuwentuo. Doesn't she know about the feud between me and Yuwentuo?"

Xu Tianran doesn't have many people he cares about. Ju Zi is one, and Xu Tianzhen is another.

But loving someone doesn't mean he can allow them to disobey him, much less allow them to side with the enemy.

"So that's Princess Tianzhen. She's indeed lively and adorable," Orange thought to herself.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I think the princess didn't mean to oppose you. She simply doesn't want to get involved in these grudges. To her, you are the older brother, but Yuwen Tuo is also her younger brother, and her only brother. It's her first time becoming a sister, so it's natural that she dotes on her brother. She's not cheering for Yuwen Tuo from the princess's perspective, but simply encouraging her brother as an older sister." Ju Zi understood this clearly. In fact, she also liked girls with Xu Tianzhen's personality, so she spoke up to comfort Xu Tianran.

"Ju Zi, go back and talk to Tian Zhen. As her sister-in-law, tell her to stay away from Yuwen Tuo," Xu Tianran said. After all, she was his beloved younger sister, and he knew her personality. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be on his death list by now.

But Xu Tianzhen, he was still willing to give her more chances.

Orange nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

"That person is Yuwen Tuo's sister? So she's also a princess of the Sun Moon Empire. Why is she able to act so recklessly?" Xu Jiujiu asked, looking at Xu Tianzhen who was frantically shouting for Yuwen Tuo.

The competition has been going on for quite some time now, and she actually wanted to come and find Yuwen Tuo, but because of the ambush in the valley and the Xingluo Offering Hall incident, the two sides have developed a rift and even hatred.

She didn't know how to face Yuwen Tuo, so she forced herself not to come to him.

Theoretically speaking, the hatred between the Sun Moon Empire and Yuwen Tuo is much greater than that between the Star Luo Empire and Yuwen Tuo, yet this princess can still support Yuwen Tuo so enthusiastically.

"Hehe, actually, Tuotuo, you don't dislike this innocent princess, right? Finally, there's the first family member who doesn't care about stances, grudges, or gain any benefit from you, but simply cares about you," Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

Yuwen Tuo said helplessly, "I just feel annoyed. Alright, our second elimination round has begun. Senior Brother Wang, I'm counting on you guys this time."

"Don't worry, junior brother!" Wang Yanfeng stood up, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

Although he was just a substitute, he should make the most of the opportunity to play.

The reason he was a substitute was simply because Guigu was too strong; if he were placed in another team, he would be more than qualified to be a starter.

Today's opponent is a sect that relies on agility and attack. Although Wang Yanfeng hit his opponent once, his opponent had already hit him seven or eight times.

But the opponent's seven or eight attacks were just a scratch to Wang Yanfeng's powerful physique, while Wang Yanfeng only needed one attack to break his opponent.

His explosive power is very strong. In the original work, he was able to make Zheng Zhan, a defensive titled Douluo, stagger with a single palm strike. Among all the contestants, very few could withstand a single palm strike from him.

Therefore, when people who came to gather information about Guigu saw Wang Yanfeng's fierce firepower, no one thought he was just a substitute; they all treated him as a starter.

In the following matches, Yuwentuo sent out Chen Lu, Gu Tong, and others. Although they did not achieve a seven-game winning streak like Cao Jinxuan by relying on mysterious time manipulation, they still won overwhelmingly.

At this moment, Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu realized that Yuwen Tuo didn't actually seem to have any intention of participating in the competition.

Come to think of it, with his strength, why would he care about such a small competition? The reason he signed up was probably just to be qualified to play when facing the Holy Spirit Sect.

If that's the case, they might be able to cripple the other disciples of the Guigu School even without Yuwen Tuo's participation.

Although the people who appeared were all quite good, they were not yet insurmountable. Even though Cao Jinxuan's power of time was mysterious and unpredictable, the cost of using it would be considerable, and it was absolutely impossible for him to use it repeatedly.

If he couldn't use the power of time, he would just be an ordinary Soul Emperor.
