Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 184 Night Battle
Go straight into the inner courtyard!

The inner courtyard is where Shrek Academy truly belongs to its students, and it has extremely high requirements for their talent. For example, there's Xu Lizhi, a food-type student with innate full soul power, or Ye Xinglan, who is about to master sword intent at the age of eleven.

Shen Yi's interest was piqued by his surprise. "Since you put it that way, Senior Brother, I'd better take a good look. How about we have them have a private match after the competition?"

Wu Changkong did not object, "Let's do it after ten o'clock, there will be no one in the stadium then."

The two were chatting upstairs when the conflict below caught the attention of the staff, who rushed over to stop it. Shrek Academy was their honored guest.

"Fighting is prohibited outside the competition area. Please take note, athletes."

The staff members have little influence and can only rely on the rules.

"I'll be waiting for you after the game."

Upon receiving Shen Yi's telepathic message, Yu Tianliang snorted coldly, gave Tang Wulin a deep look, and led his team away.

Tang Wulin and the others also received a telepathic message from Wu Changkong, watching Yu Tianliang and the others leave.

"That arrogant guy, acting all high and mighty."

Xie Xie complained.

Tang Wulin glanced at Xie Xie, recalling the conflict when they first entered the school, and wondered if he should say something.

Gula thought to himself that it was boring; he had thought that a fight would break out right away, which would have been more interesting.

The individual competitors in the afternoon were a bit stronger than those in the morning, but they were still no match for Gula, who won easily.

That evening, he and Tang Wulin went to the Forging Association to participate in the competition. Both of them could easily complete the thousand-forging process, and they passed the first competition without any difficulty.

The master craftsman Zhenhua will be watching the finals; we'll see if Gula can get his attention beforehand.

At least Tang Wulin's cultivation level is too low at this time, so his chances are definitely not as good as Gula's.

Ten p.m.

"Ah~"

Xie Xie yawned. "We've been competing all day, isn't it a bit unfair to play against them again?"

Wu Changkong didn't turn his head, his long, ice-blue hair swaying in the wind. "There is no absolute fairness in the world. A little fatigue will not affect the battle."

What he didn't say was that the main purpose of this battle was to demonstrate the abilities of Gula, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin to their teacher, Zhuo Shi. Even if they didn't directly enter the inner academy, they wanted to make the academy take them seriously.

The Tianhai Stadium was brightly lit under the night sky, with the soul-guided spotlights on the dome illuminating the central arena in every detail. Yu Tianliang stood with his arms crossed at the front of the Shrek Academy team, with six team members behind him, all wearing green school uniforms, their Shrek badges gleaming under the lights.

"Junior sister, I've kept you waiting."

Wu Changkong's long, icy blue hair fluttered in the night breeze as he nodded slightly to the audience. Behind him stood six young men, each dressed differently and radiating confidence.

Shen Yi smiled, her silver-gray outfit accentuating her graceful curves: "We can't let Master come all this way for nothing. But Senior Brother, do you really want all seven of them to come together?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the VIP box at the highest point of the audience, where two auras, as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, could be faintly seen.

Gula sensed the aura of Zhuoshi, as well as another vast and heavy aura. Among the important figures most likely to arrive in Tianhai City recently, the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua was the most probable. He should know Zhuoshi, and it's normal for them to gather and chat in a city.

"and many more."

Yu Tianliang spoke up: "Teacher Shen, we have one more person on our side, so I'll step down."

He was the strongest in the team, and his withdrawal showed that he didn't take the Donghai Academy students seriously.

"No need, all seven of you come at me together. Today I'll show you that there are always people more capable than you."

Gula suddenly took a step forward, shattering the floor tiles with his bare foot. On the opposite Shrek Academy team, the girl wielding the crimson longbow's pupils contracted; her Blazing Longbow martial soul was being suppressed. But her martial soul was already a top-tier one; what martial soul could suppress her before it was even summoned?

The girl leaned close to Yu Tianliang and whispered something.

Yu Tianliang's expression changed slightly, and he stared intently at Gula.

"No."

Shen Yi did not agree; she had learned about Gula's strength from Wu Changkong.

"This match is to resolve the conflict between you. The loser should apologize and must give it their all. Besides, you are a team and should stand together. And... don't underestimate the other side."

Shen Yi looked at Wu Changkong. She had also suggested that one person be removed from the Shrek team, but her senior brother did not agree, saying that he wanted Gula to feel the pressure.

But can a three-ring Soul Master really fight seven opponents of higher levels at once?

"If you want to fight, fight!"

Gula suddenly spoke, his right hand igniting with golden-red flames, and the phantom of a giant beast that appeared behind him was so lifelike that it distorted space. "All seven of you, come at me together."

Madness!

Yu Tianliang's face turned cold, and he was about to speak when Shen Yi raised his hand to stop him. The Soul Saint lightly tapped the void, and his seven soul rings flowed like moonlight: "Both sides take their positions! Shrek Seven against East Sea Six—begin now!"

"Roar!"

Almost the instant the words fell, the golden dragon roar shook the dome. Golden scales erupted all over Tang Wulin's body, and his right arm transformed into a dragon as he lunged straight at Yu Tianliang.

The Dragon King's oppressive aura nearly rendered Yu Tianliang powerless. Fortunately, Tang Wulin had just broken one layer of the seal; otherwise, a single dragon roar would have been enough to incapacitate him.

"Innocent!"

Yu Tianliang was initially alarmed, but then he sneered, "A mere Blue Silver Grass Soul Master."

The third spirit ring suddenly lit up. The phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex soared into the sky, transforming into a physical form in mid-air. At the same time, a rain of arrows flew through the Shrek Academy formation, each arrow wrapped in spiraling energy.

Four-colored elemental vortexes suddenly appeared beside Gu Yue, with ice, fire, wind, and earth intertwining to form elemental tides.

Tang Wulin remained unfazed by the mockery, his spirit rings flashing and coiling around him!
Xie Xie approached Ye Xinglan. He hated this arrogant guy, but because his foundation was not solid, he was being suppressed and was about to be defeated.

"The stars in the sky are twinkling..."

Nighttime was Xu Xiaoyan's domain. Starlight descended, and the absolutely established Star Wheel Chains bound Ye Xinglan.

Ye Xinglan struggled with all her might, but could not move.

Xie Xie chuckled, holding two daggers, and charged towards Ye Xinglan, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Light Dragon Storm! Shadow Dragon Storm!
Gula stood motionless with his arms crossed, but his first spirit ring lit up, and his gravity domain extended in one direction. His level of gravity control was much stronger than that of a simple domain.

Yu Tianliang's expression changed drastically. He felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his back, and every move required ten times the effort. His soul power disappeared like a flood, and his movements slowed down.

Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief. His first ring of cultivation was a weakness. If it weren't for his brute strength, he would have lost the first round of the fight against Yu Tianliang.

On the platform, ripples appeared in the teacup in Zhuo Shi's hand. The red-haired old man squinted at the battle in the arena: "Brother Zhenhua, what do you think?"

“That black-haired boy…” Master craftsman Zhenhua leaned forward.

On the arena, Tang Wulin was hit by three soul skills and sent flying backward, but he twisted his waist and flipped over in mid-air, with dark gold patterns faintly flashing among the scales on his right arm.

"What a strength!"
