Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 359 The Orange's Trap: The Third Test for Everyone

However, the princess seemed to think that everything was due to her.

After Yuwen Tuo landed, the innocent little princess skipped over to him, "Little brother, wasn't I great? I chased away all the bad guys for you. Can you call me 'big sister'?"

"Thank you!" Yuwen Tuo said gratefully. He still couldn't bring himself to call her "sister," but he didn't hesitate to say thank you.

This time, he again judged based on intentions rather than actions.

In that situation, even Ma Xiaotao, who had been calling for his help, felt weak in the knees, and Princess Xu Jiujiu, who kept saying she wanted to make it up to him, remained unmoved. Only this innocent princess, like Xiao Xiao and the others, bravely stood in front of him.

"I don't want to hear this, I don't want to hear this," Xu Tianzhen said coquettishly, shaking Yuwen Tuo's arm.

In her heart, it was only right for an older sister to help her younger brother, and saying thank you would feel a bit distant. She didn't want those two words; she wanted to hear it from her older sister.

"Sister, you're really amazing. With just one word from you, all those Soul Master Corps members have to listen to you," Xiao Xiao said, stepping forward. She could see Tuotuo's predicament.

Since she can't bring herself to call him Tuotuo, she'll do the favor. She's Tuotuo's girlfriend, so she should be qualified, right?

"Hehe, of course! I'm the princess of the Sun Moon Empire!" Xu Tianzhen said happily.

Although her younger brother didn't call her "sister," her sister-in-law did, which was quite nice, and the compliments made her feel very comfortable.

Yuwen Tuo smiled, turned and left. He had finished what he needed to do and was going back to rest.

"Yuwen Tuo!"

Ma Xiaotao and Xu Jiujiu called out to him at the same time; they had genuinely wanted to help him, but...
Yuwen Tuo looked at the two men and said, "Gentlemen, since you are afraid of death and have concerns, then don't be arrogant!"

The two women remained silent. Whether judging by intentions rather than actions, or by actions rather than intentions, it seemed neither of them could be right.

Inside the Sun and Moon Palace.

Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, listening quietly as Ju Zi reported what had just happened at the Qingse Hotel.

He gripped the wheelchair handles tighter and tighter. "Heh, I must say, as expected of Yuwen Tuo. He killed another Title Douluo so easily, and he also slaughtered all the elite Soul Masters of the younger generation of the Xi Shui Alliance. It seems that the Xi Shui Alliance has no hope in this Underground Soul Master Competition. The only ones who can win the championship are the Ao Du Chamber of Commerce or the Pingfan Alliance."

"Your Highness, don't you think Yuwen Tuo's sudden attack on the Xishui Alliance was a bit too deliberate?" Ju Zi asked doubtfully. "Is he really such a reckless and impulsive person?"

"Courageous but reckless? Wasn't this a meticulously planned assassination? Everyone knows his hatred for evil spirit masters. After finding out where the evil spirit masters were, he launched the assassination. After the killing, he revealed the imperial edict, forcing the Guardian of the Nation to protect him and leaving the Imperial Advisor helpless. It was clearly a good assassination plan. Why do you say he was courageous but reckless?" Xu Tianran asked.

"Your Highness is right. I was overthinking it." Ju Zi nodded. Indeed, in terms of the matter itself, Yuwen Tuo had prepared a way out, so it was not an impulsive act.

The problem is timing. This plan was launched too early. He could have chosen a better opportunity. After today's commotion, Zhongli Wu will definitely keep a close eye on Yuwen Tuo and prevent him from succeeding in his plans.

If Yuwen Tuo wants to kill evil soul masters again, it will be difficult. Given his personality, would he be satisfied with killing just one Heavenly Centipede Douluo?

She always felt that Yuwentuo was plotting something, but due to insufficient information, she couldn't figure out his true purpose. Now, all she could do was intensify her surveillance of him, ready to counter whatever his plans might be. Little did she know, when Zhongli Wu and Ju Zi focused their attention on Yuwentuo, his plan had already succeeded; this was exactly what he wanted.

Their act of searching for answers is, in fact, the answer itself!
Yuwen Tuo led everyone back to the Mingyue Hotel. In his room, the divine test seals of everyone shone brightly. Because he killed Tianwu Douluo, plus the previous Masked Douluo, the second test of the God of Fire was considered complete, and the affinity of the God of Fire also increased to ten percent.

Qiu'er's level increased by one level, reaching level 78, and the age of all her soul rings increased by one thousand years.

Xiao Xiao leveled up, reaching level 70, and could now use the divine soul ring that Ling Luochen had given her.

She was full of confidence at the moment. After all, she had a total of five soul bones, two of which were 100,000-year-old and one was an external one. She was also cultivating a divine skill manual, and her soul power was far purer than that of ordinary people. She also had twin martial souls. With such a good configuration, it would be a waste not to push her divinely bestowed soul rings to the 100,000-year level.

Despite her petite stature, Xiao Xiao is actually the most resolute person in the entire team, second only to Yuwen Tuo.

In the original story, she was someone who never gave up even when her martial spirit was shattered. In every competition, she was always fighting against higher-level opponents from a lower level, never backing down an inch.

Girls like this have a unique charm.

The others also advanced one level by passing the Black-level assessment.

They killed quite a few evil spirit masters today, which was the opportunity Yuwentuo specially gave them to pass the test.

Long Aotian and Vina reached level 77 and 72 respectively, while Nana and Cao Jinxuan reached level 67 and 64 respectively.

Once Xiao Xiao has absorbed all the spirit rings, her team will have a total of five spirit saints, enough to win even with her eyes closed.

Their third test has also begun, except for Yuwen Tuo and Yuwen Qiu, who, like Ling Luochen, are tasked with protecting everyone and ensuring their safe departure from Mingdu.

The standard Black-level assessment only requires ensuring your own safe departure; there's no need to protect others, making it significantly easier.

Of course, that's what they say, but in reality, everyone's evaluation is the same, because no one will give up on anyone else.

In the following days, Yuwen Tuo did not cause any more trouble. After all, so many eyes were watching him, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

Then let's just play the game honestly.

However, after that day, his supporters clearly increased significantly. For several consecutive matches, his supporters filled the entire venue. He even saw Nan Qiuqiu and Xu Tianzhen holding up banners that read "Yuwen Tuo is invincible" and cheering for him.

Speaking of which, Nan Qiuqiu seems to have a bit of a looks-obsessed personality. In the original novel, she was infatuated with Wang Dong, who dressed as a man, just like Meng Hongchen.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen's infatuation was also noticeably amplified. "Hehe, I knew it! He wouldn't be content with the status quo. He quietly took down another evil soul master titled Douluo. He's so cool!"

"Little sister, you should rein in your infatuation today. Don't forget how important today's competition is!" Xiao Hongchen reminded her with a dark face.

The competition has been going on for several days. Today is the last round of the round-robin tournament. After today's matches, the top two teams from each group will advance to the final eight!
