Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 99 Shameless Xuanzi

Seeing the final result, Xuanzi's expression was quite unpleasant.

This was completely different from what he had expected.

Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Twin Martial Souls of Ultimate Ice, was eliminated, as was Bei Bei, a descendant of Elder Mu.

In Xuanzi's original plan, both of them should have advanced, and the best-case scenario would have been that Ling Shuang would be eliminated.

After all, Xuanzi didn't have a good impression of this student who wouldn't ultimately be useful to the academy, and he was secretly hoping that the student would suffer a setback.

Even if Ling Shuang hadn't been eliminated, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and the others who were gathered together should have been among the top students in the outer academy.

However, Xuanzi never expected that Ling Shuang, who in his view should be traveling alone, at most with his girlfriend Jiang Nannan, would actually have so many close friends.

But with the outcome already decided and everyone watching, Xuanzi couldn't just spout nonsense and could only reluctantly announce the result: "The finalists have all been decided."

The other eliminated trainees could only sigh in despair.

Ling Shuang's dominance was so terrifying that they were eliminated before they even had a chance to perform.

Xuanzi glanced at the people beside Ling Shuang and said meaningfully, "Relying on others is never enough. As a Soul Master, the most important thing is to have strong personal strength."

"Otherwise, when we lose our support, we'll probably be exposed for what we really are."

These were clearly sarcastic remarks, causing Ning Tian and the others to frown slightly.

They admitted that a large part of their success in advancing was due to their association with Ling Shuang.

But since you've announced this rule, aren't you just trying to make them act independently?

What does it mean to openly or subtly mock them for currying favor at this time?
If it weren't for the fact that this drunken old man was no ordinary person, Ning Tian and the others probably would have already lost their temper.

"Ling Shuang, your strength is indeed impressive, and you are in a league of your own even in the entire outer academy, but don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"

Xuanzi seemed to be subtly mocking Ning Tian and the others, not yet satisfied, and then turned his attention to Ling Shuang.

Ultimately, the reason the outcome didn't go as he expected was because of Ling Shuang.

"Just because you have a good relationship, you disregard ability and protect the advancement of someone you're on good terms with. Isn't that unfair to the other trainees?"

Xuanzi's words seemed to be from the perspective of the other eliminated trainees who participated in this selection competition.

However, apart from a few people, the others did not agree with Xuanzi's words and had strange expressions.

Even Dai Huabin, who was at odds with Ling Shuang, was no exception.

Ling Shuang was amused by Xuan Zi's shameless remarks.

"unfair?"

"But wasn't this competition format announced by you?"

"If you wanted fairness from the beginning, why not hold the competition according to the normal competition rules?"

"So, is your current statement due to a feeling of unfairness, or is it out of anger because the promoted individuals are not the ones you expected?"

Ling Shuang's words laid bare Xuan Zi's thoughts.

Xuanzi was immediately enraged: "How dare you speak to your teacher like that? Didn't Wang Yan teach you what it means to respect your teachers?!"

As he spoke, Xuanzi angrily attacked, his immense soul power forming a giant palm that slammed towards Ling Shuang.

Although Elder Mu had instructed him not to lay a hand on Ling Shuang, he figured a little lesson shouldn't be a problem.

The forces behind this kid probably wouldn't bother Shrek Academy over something like this.

This scene shocked the trainees present.

None of them expected that this drunken old man would actually attack Ling Shuang.

Including Zhou Yi before, this is the second case of an academy teacher attacking a student.

Some trainees began to waver.

Is this kind of college really worth their continued study?

Faced with Xuanzi's attack, Ling Shuang's expression turned unusually solemn. As expected of a level 98 Super Douluo, he was still far inferior to him.

He could handle Xuanzi's move, but the fact that it brought him so much pressure made Ling Shuang realize once again the gap between himself and the older generation of experts.

"Xiao Shuang!" Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er stepped forward almost simultaneously, without considering how their strength compared to Ling Shuang's, just wanting to block this attack for him.

But Ling Shuang stopped him with her hand.

"Mother Earth's roots weave bones and blood, solidify the emerald barrier, and forge the wall of all living things with immortal rings!"

Ling Shuang sang, a rare occurrence for her.

A massive jade barrier stretched out in front of him.

Sensing the completely different aura of the jade barrier compared to before, Beibei and the others who had been powerless to stop the battlefield previously separated by the jade barrier couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

It turns out that the jade barrier they had tried so hard to overcome was not actually Ling Shuang's serious work.

The giant hand, constructed from earthen-yellow soul power, slammed into the emerald barrier.

The barrier shattered like jade breaking, and the giant hand vanished with it.

Ling Shuang's face paled slightly.

The gap between a Soul King and a level 98 Super Douluo is simply too great.

"Kid, you've got some skills!" Xuanzi exclaimed in surprise.

His move just now seemed casual, but even an ordinary Soul Saint would not be able to resist it.

Previously, when Xuanzi heard that Ling Shuang had defeated the Golden Flame Lion King, who was comparable to a high-level Soul Saint, he thought that Ling Shuang had used some kind of trick.

After all, in Xuanzi's eyes, a soul beast is just a soul beast; it doesn't know how to adapt. As long as you find a way to deal with it, the difficulty of dealing with it will be greatly reduced.

Only now did he believe that Ling Shuang had indeed defeated the Golden Flame Lion King with her true strength.

Stunningly talented!

Xuanzi secretly praised him.

However, the thought that such a genius could not be used by Shrek Academy turned their admiration into dissatisfaction.

"If you can withstand one blow, what about this one?"

Xuanzi mobilized his soul power again, and an even more terrifying hand descended from the sky.

Ling Shuang took a deep breath, and the pendant around her neck began to shimmer faintly.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that it seemed he was about to alarm Sister Xue.

Once the Snow Empress's all-out attack, sealed within the pendant, is released, the Snow Empress, far away in the far north, will also react.

Based on his understanding of Sister Xue, there's a high probability she'll use the pendant to tear through space to arrive.

The plan to peacefully approach the Golden Tree and use it to comprehend the laws of life will definitely fall through.

However, it didn't matter, and Ling Shuang wasn't particularly concerned about it.

What he was more concerned about was that after this incident, Xue Di would definitely be even more worried about him in human society.

Who knows what price we'll have to pay if we want to leave the far north again?

However, before Ling Shuang's pendant could be activated, the giant hand suddenly vanished.

Xuanzi seemed to have heard something; his expression changed, he lowered his head, and slunk away in a certain direction.

Everyone was somewhat bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

Only Ling Shuang narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had some guesses.

The only one Shrek Academy could probably achieve this was that Dragon God Douluo...
