Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 146 Xuanzi's Plan

“What a mess!”

A voice tinged with dissatisfaction rang out.

Wang Yan suddenly turned around, and a disheveled face came into view.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Wang Yan's face immediately lit up with a look of surprise and delight.

"Elder Xuan, you're back!"

"The academy's assistance..." Wang Yan's extinguished hope was rekindled.

If the academy can send assistance, there might not be no hope of winning this competition.

However, Xuanzi's expression turned grim, directly shattering Wang Yan's hopes: "The academy did not send any assistance. Elder Mu said that this competition is to give Huo Yuhao and the others a chance to hone their skills."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately became anxious: "But, this..."

The situation is now crystal clear: Soul Emperors Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng have not yet recovered, and Soul King Ling Luochen is still injured. It will definitely take them a long time before they can make a move.

With the current reserve team members who have temporarily stepped up, let alone facing Ling Shuang's Star Luo Royal Academy team, they probably wouldn't stand a chance against even the Soul Master academy teams led by Soul Kings, whose strength is considered average in this competition.

Today, Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill did successfully create a smokescreen for the various academies, but it will be exposed sooner or later.

Once they encounter a slightly stronger academy team, their true colors will definitely be revealed!
Xuanzi remained silent in response to Wang Yan's reaction.

His initial reaction was the same as Wang Yan's, but he couldn't question the decision made by Moon, the top student of Shrek Academy.

In fact, Moon made this decision not simply to give Huo Yuhao and the others a chance to gain experience; he had his own considerations.

Ma Xiaotao and the others are already among the top in terms of age for the competition. Although there are other students in the inner academy who meet the age requirements, their strength is definitely not comparable to that of Ma Xiaotao and the others.

Mu En saw things more clearly than Xuan Zi. He knew that even if the inner court sent other people to replace those students who were no longer able to participate due to the Death Hand incident, their overall strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

Let alone the Star Luo Royal Academy led by Ling Shuang, it's questionable whether they can even defeat teams from top academies like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Imperial Academy.

If they lost to Ling Shuang's Star Luo Royal Academy in the finals, it wouldn't be so bad. Mu En knew that with Ling Shuang's strength, she would definitely shock the entire Soul Master world. Even if they lost to her team, not many people would question Shrek Academy. They would only think that they were unlucky and had encountered a top-level genius who had shaken the past and present.

However, if they fail to even make it into the top four after sending out their inner court students, Shrek Academy's standing in the eyes of the world will definitely suffer a major blow.

Mu En didn't want to gamble, so he chose not to send any other inner court students to provide support.

In this way, even if they lose, they can attribute it to an accident that resulted in a small number of participants. After all, the failure of outer court students and the failure of inner court students are two completely different things.

With proper public opinion guidance, Shrek Academy's reputation will be somewhat affected, but it won't fall from its pedestal in the hearts of the people of the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent.

Shrek Academy is still the number one academy on the continent!

If Huo Yuhao and his team can achieve good results, they can even create a public opinion that "Shrek's outer academy disciples are still achieving remarkable results in the Soul Master Competition" to enhance Shrek's reputation!
Moon's idea is excellent; it's already a superior method for cutting losses in time.

However, Xuanzi could not accept it. He believed that the legend of Shrek Academy's defending champion could not be broken.
That's why his face looked so pale.

After a brief moment of disappointment upon hearing that the academy had no intention of sending aid, Wang Yan understood the academy's intentions.

He murmured softly, his emotions complex, "That's right, this is the best way. After all, who told Ling Shuang, this prodigy, to appear at the Star Luo Royal Academy..."

Wang Yan's murmurs suddenly made Xuanzi think of something.

Yes, Ling Shuang, there's still a chance!
Thinking of this, Xuanzi vanished from his spot, leaving Wang Yan completely bewildered. He had a bad feeling about this.

…………

As night deepened, the match was postponed to the next day because Ling Shuang's attack had damaged the competition stage. The organizing committee was working hard to repair it.

This isn't a big problem for competition groups that have Earth-attribute Soul Masters.

However, the destructive energy left by Ling Shuang in the pit was very troublesome. In the end, the competition team asked Ling Shuang to retrieve the destructive energy before they could start construction.

Ling Shuang was also very embarrassed when the competition organizers came to him; how could he have forgotten about this?

Destructive energy is similar to nuclear radiation; anyone with slightly lower cultivation levels will be affected by it. Without resolving this issue, the repair team will indeed find it difficult to begin work.

Knowing it was his own fault, even though the competition organizers found out about his residence late at night, he cooperated fully and went to the scene again to retrieve the destructive energy he had left behind.

When he returned, it was already completely night.

Because of Xue Di's strong insistence, Jiang Nannan and Ling Shuang did not live in the same room, but lived with Xue Di.

This greatly displeased Hyotei, who felt that her position in Yuki-tei's heart was threatened.

After all, according to their feelings, even if they were to live together, it should be her and Xue Di. However, she had made such a request before, but Xue Di had refused each time.

Now, Xue Di has taken the initiative to invite Jiang Nannan to stay in the same room with her, which makes Bing Di even more dissatisfied.

Why should she be inferior to a girl she's only known for a short time, given her thousand-year-old relationship with the Snow Emperor?

However, her dissatisfaction was of no use. In the end, Xue Di and Jiang Nannan ended up in the same room, while Bing Di was in another room next to Wang Qiu'er.

In fact, the reason why Xue Di took the initiative to invite Jiang Nannan to share a room with her was not because she liked Jiang Nannan more than Bing Di, but because Xue Di had other ideas.

During this period, because of Jiang Nannan, Xue Di and Ling Shuang hardly had any intimate interactions.

Although their relationship was practically on the verge of a complete breakdown, Xue Di still felt something was off.

Xue Di also realized that Jiang Nannan would definitely not separate from Ling Shuang in the future, and they could not go back to the way the three of them lived before.

So Xue Di finally made up her mind to accept this fact. This time, she just wanted to talk things out with Jiang Nannan and not let the situation continue to be so awkward. It was uncomfortable for both of them and no one benefited from it.

As a result, Ling Shuang ended up having her own room.

This must be quite unpleasant for someone who has just tasted the sweetness of life.

Fortunately, Ling Shuang was not a beast driven by desire, and after a brief period of distress, she accepted the fact.

"I wonder how Nannan and Sister Xue'er are doing..." Ling Shuang murmured softly as she sat on the bed.

He was still somewhat worried, after all, Jiang Nannan's personality was no match for Xue Di.

Suddenly, Ling Shuang's expression changed, and her soul power surged instantly.

"Who? Come out!"
