Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 140 Ling Shuang? How come he's in the Star Luo Royal Academy's team?!

Ling Shuang understood Huang Heyun's reaction, but that didn't mean he would let Huang Heyun provoke him at will.

He's here to fulfill a deal, not to be mistreated.

Seeing that Ling Shuang did not harm Huang Heyun but only warned him, he breathed a sigh of relief after a long time.

Although it has been decided to hand Huang Heyun over to Ling Shuang, he is, after all, a genius of their Star Luo Empire, and it would be best if nothing happened to him.

Having learned from Huang Heyun's example of being the first to stick her neck out, the others who were originally dissatisfied with Ling Shuang, the newly appointed captain, no longer had that thought. They all behaved themselves well, sitting to the side with an air of prim and proper decorum.

Only Princess Xu Jiujiu was not greatly affected and continued to chat with Ling Shuang about everyday matters.

Not long after, staff members from the competition came to knock on the door to inform them that the opening ceremony of the competition was about to begin.

This is a common practice in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. At the opening ceremony, each participating team will go through a formality and appear in front of the public before drawing lots for the first match of the day.

"Young Master Ling, please." Xu Jiujiu made an inviting gesture.

As the captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy this time, Ling Shuang should naturally be in the first position.

Ling Shuang didn't stand on ceremony and nodded, taking the lead in leaving the lounge.

Xu Jiujiu followed closely behind, a body length away, before Huang Heyun and other ordinary team members.

…………

The main venue for the competition is Xingluo Square.

The stands were already packed with people, all of whom had come to watch the game.

Among them were representatives of forces who were invited to participate but were not powerful enough to stand on the city wall with the Star Luo Emperor, as well as ordinary citizens who bought tickets on their own initiative.

Competitions of this caliber, such as the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, naturally attract a lot of attention. Even ordinary people who are not Soul Masters are very interested in it, since everyone hopes that their country's academy can win the championship. Therefore, tickets are not hard to sell.

However, no organizer would set the ticket price too high because of this.

After all, only a few well-known forces on the continent can host the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Everyone has a sense of face and wouldn't be so greedy.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, even if the ticket price is set high, it doesn't actually bring them any particularly huge revenue, so there's no need for it.

What can drive up ticket prices are probably those annoying scalpers who inflate prices.

Although the Star Luo Royal Family has its own measures to combat this, it is inevitable that some will slip through the net.

However, this doesn't have too much of an impact; overall, it's still quite fair.

First, the representative teams from each college entered the venue and proceeded to the waiting area on the side.

The competition hasn't even started yet, but the various colleges have already begun observing the teams from other colleges.

Ling Shuang led the Star Luo Royal Academy team to the designated location and waved slightly to Xue Di and the others on the city wall.

To show the importance the Xingluo royal family placed on the matter, Xu Jiawei invited Xue Di and the others to the top of the city wall where he was located, so that they could have a panoramic view of the entire Xingluo Square.

After greeting Xue Di and the others, Ling Shuang looked away, but inadvertently felt a burning gaze seemingly fixed on her.

Following my instincts, a familiar fiery red figure came into view.

It was Ma Xiaotao, who represented Shrek Academy in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition.

Ling Shuang nodded slightly in greeting.

He noticed Ma Xiaotao's slightly pale face and the figures of the inner court team behind her, some of whom were missing.

Ling Shuang instantly understood. It seemed that the plot from the original story had still happened. This group of people must have encountered that evil soul master, the Soul King, again and been tricked by the Corpse Explosion.

This was also a legendary battle of its own. A Soul King managed to inflict a huge blow on a team with two top-tier Martial Souls, Soul Emperors, right under the nose of a Level 98 Super Douluo.

To be able to do that is truly legendary.

Fortunately, Shrek Academy kept the news under wraps; otherwise, if this had gotten out, the reputation of their so-called number one academy on the continent would have been halved.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's mood improved for the first time.

Looking at the boy who nodded to her, Ma Xiaotao was extremely excited.

Ling Shuang dropped out of school and was tricked by a mere Soul King-level evil Soul Master, leaving her injured and unable to perform at her full strength. Ma Xiaotao was extremely depressed during this period.

But when she saw the only boy who had ever made her heart flutter again, her gloomy mood suddenly felt like the clouds had parted and the sky was clear.

Although she didn't know why Ling Shuang was in the Star Luo Royal Academy's team, Ma Xiaotao didn't care. Seeing Ling Shuang again made her very happy.

As for this competition, Ma Xiaotao didn't have much hope to begin with.

Their main team has almost no fighting power, and Ma Xiaotao doesn't think that the reserve team can hold out for long.

If you're unlucky enough to draw the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, you might be eliminated immediately.

However, Ma Xiaotao didn't care.

Through all the events that have happened during this time, she no longer values ​​the so-called Shrek honor as much as before, so she can accept the result of being eliminated very calmly.

Ma Xiaotao's unusual behavior was naturally noticed by the other students at Shrek Academy.

Following Ma Xiaotao's gaze, their pupils constricted upon seeing her aloof and noble face.

"Ling Shuang! Why is he in the Star Luo Royal Academy's team?!"

Dai Huabin, who was playing as a reserve player, exclaimed in surprise.

Back at Shrek Academy, he was the one who was defeated the most and suffered the most at the hands of Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang had already left a considerable shadow in the heart of this young master of the White Tiger Duke.

His condition only improved after Ling Shuang dropped out of school.

Seeing Ling Shuang again now, that shadow once again loomed over Dai Huabin's heart.

He felt as if he had contracted a disease that made him tremble uncontrollably whenever he saw Ling Shuang.

Furthermore, since Ling Shuang has appeared in the Star Luo Royal Academy team, does this mean that they are very likely to face each other in the later matches?

The mere thought of this possibility had already extinguished most of Dai Huabin's fighting spirit.

The others were slightly better off than Dai Huabin, but they all looked grim.

Without exception, all members of these new reserve teams had experienced Ling Shuang's absolute dominance.

When they realized that their likely future opponent was Ling Shuang, although they weren't as terrified as Dai Huabin, they all looked solemn.

Before it even started, its arrogance had already diminished considerably.

However, Ling Shuang, who was putting so much pressure on them, didn't even linger her gaze on them for long.

After greeting Ma Xiaotao, he gave her a brief, indifferent glance and then looked away.

After taking in the reactions of the Shrek Academy students for a long time, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

She knew she had made the right decision.
