Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 363: It's impossible to win; it's better to understand.

The Imperial Advisor, Zhongli Wu, sat in his seat, expressionless.

He appeared calm, but his fists were clenched tightly. Only Shrek Academy members could probably understand his mental state at that moment.

Just how far will Yuwen Tuo go before he's satisfied? In order to stop their Holy Spirit Sect, he actually gave up the first place in the group that was within his grasp.

"Grand Preceptor, what do you plan to do?" Xu Tianran asked Zhongli Wu.

"Your Highness, is there really no way to disqualify Yuwen Tuo from the competition?" Zhongli Wu was truly at a loss. Although he had some confidence in his disciple's strength—even though Yan Feng was only a Soul Saint, his actual combat power was comparable to a Soul Douluo—his participation in this competition should have been foolproof.

The problem is that Yuwen Tuo is a monster who can even kill Title Douluos, and the number of Title Douluos he has killed is already in the double digits, more than the Holy Spirit Cult leader himself.

Yuwen Tuo's strength is unmatched below the Super Douluo level; even if Yan Feng were three times stronger, he still couldn't defeat him.

"You make it sound so easy. In terms of status, he is an imperial prince. In terms of rules, he hasn't even appeared yet, so there's no way I can find any evidence that he violated any rules. How can I disqualify him from the competition?" Xu Tianran really had no choice. It was all Yuwen Tuo's fault, which caused him to not accumulate enough strength. To achieve his goal, he would have to spend more time gathering forces from all over the country.

We absolutely cannot alert him now. If we push Yuwen Tuo too far and cause a huge disturbance, his plan could easily fall apart.

Xu Tianran sighed and said, "Alas, Grand Preceptor, you don't need to worry too much. In my opinion, Yuwen Tuo doesn't seem to have any intention of participating in this competition. If it's just the other members of Ghost Valley, Holy Spirit Sect isn't without a fighting chance, is it?"

“Indeed, even if it were anyone else, such as Long Aotian just now, Nana Xiaoxiao who previously demonstrated the ability to restrain evil soul masters, and Cao Jinxuan with the power of time, I would not be completely without a way to deal with them,” Zhongli Wu said.

Evil Soul Masters have their own methods. What they fear most is being countered. But because of this fear, they are always thinking of ways to prevent being countered. Although Nana and Xiao Xiao are both very powerful, they are not as mature as Yuwen Tuo.

“Very well, since that’s the case, then I allow it. If Yuwen Tuo participates in the battle, I will not blame the Holy Spirit Sect for forfeiting. After all, your Holy Spirit Sect disciples have no obligation to face an enemy they cannot defeat!” Xu Tianran said.

He also knew that they were absolutely no match for Yuwentuo. Trying to fight him head-on while Yuwentuo was involved would be tantamount to suicide, so there was no need for him to issue an impossible order.

"Alright, I thank Your Highness for your kindness!" Zhongli Wu nodded. That would be fine, as long as they didn't have to face Yuwen Tuo directly.

Even if I can't beat the others, I should at least be able to save my life.

There's no way to win? It's better that he understood; life is more precious than dignity.

Actually, there's another sect that's also feeling frustrated, and that's the Tang Sect.

Xu Sanshi said speechlessly, "Hey, hey, hey, we've been caught in an undeserved disaster, haven't we? Yuwentuo was assigned to the same area as us in order to block the Holy Spirit Sect, so it will be difficult for us to make it to the finals."

Jiang Nannan sighed, "I'm afraid this is not an undeserved disaster. Yuwen Tuo has already made up his mind to take care of us as well, since the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy come from the same source."

If the Tang Sect also falls immediately after Shrek Academy, then without a doubt, Shrek Academy's last glory will be completely extinguished.

The exact match list won't be revealed until tomorrow. Yuwen Tuo isn't in a hurry. It doesn't matter whether tomorrow's opponent is the Tang Clan or the Holy Spirit Sect; they're both people he wants to deal with.

It definitely won't be Xingluo National Academy, since they also qualified as the runner-up. The first match of the quarterfinals is always a group stage winner versus a group stage runner-up, so Guigu's opponent will only be either Tangmen or Shenglingzong.

As everyone prepared to return to the hotel, Xiao Xiao, having already absorbed her spirit ring, greeted them at the door. The atmosphere was initially cheerful, but every time they returned, they would see a beautiful woman waiting outside Yuwen Tuo's room, and this time was no different.

They were two beauties I'd never seen before: one mature and stunning, the other noble and aloof.

"Hehe, my Tuotuo is indeed very popular." Xiao Xiao said with a smile, but that smile looked dangerous no matter how you looked at it.

"Xiao Xiao, you've really misunderstood this time. I don't know them," Yuwen Tuo quickly explained, then stepped forward and asked, "May I ask your names, ladies? Are you looking for me at my door?"

"Young lady?" The mature and beautiful woman smiled. "What a sweet-talking boy. With that handsome face and terrifying strength, it's no wonder you attract so many girls. If possible, I'd really like to taste you."

In a flash, the person appeared beside Yuwen Tuo, whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

"Title Douluo!" Miao Xin reacted even faster than Yun Yi, standing beside Yuwen Tuo as well. After all, her level had completely caught up with Yun Yi's and she was younger.

"Who is your Excellency?"

She discovered that she couldn't read this woman's mind. This could be because either the woman's cultivation level was similar to hers, or the woman's inner scheming was so deep that even she couldn't see through her.

Miaoxin felt that it was possible that both reasons applied.

"Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry? With this little brother Yuwen's strength, I can't hurt him at all," the woman said with a smile. She had just discovered that although she had approached Yuwen Tuo, she had been locked onto by Yuwen Tuo's Flame Emperor Domain the moment she got close.

If she had just launched an attack, it's still uncertain whether she was a surprise attack on Yuwen Tuo, or whether Yuwen Tuo lured her in and then countered her.

At this moment, another beautiful blonde girl stepped forward and said, "Yuwen Tuo, didn't you yourselves say that anyone who wants to deal with evil spirit masters can come to your Ghost Valley? That's why I've come here."

"Dealing with evil spirit masters?" Yuwen Tuo looked at the beautiful mature woman and the blonde girl, and suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a pair in Mingdu.

"Could you be Shangguan Wei'er, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Weier's eyes showed a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected that Yuwen Tuo could actually guess her identity.

"Little brother, you're so clever! How did you know me?"

This statement undoubtedly acknowledges his identity.

Everyone was shocked. Shangguan Wei'er was no pushover. Although she wasn't an evil spirit master, the things she did were all outside the bounds of the law and below the moral bottom line.

She owns 80% of the brothels in the Sun Moon Empire; she is a queen-like figure in the underground dark forces.
