Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

offstage.

As the referee slowly walked onto the stage, Captains Sheng Yangyue and Long Xiaoyao stood on either side of him.

Just as Long Xiaoyao was about to reach for the ball at the referee's signal, Sheng Yangyue suddenly spoke up: "Captain Long Xiaoyao, you also challenged me last time, why don't we just start fighting?"

"A fair one-on-one duel. This match will determine who is better and which of our two teams will advance to compete against Shrek."

Sheng Yangyue didn't want to play that so-called team match or 2-2-3 formation. He wanted to quickly deal with the guy in front of him and, incidentally, teach this self-proclaimed genius a lesson that had never experienced the harsh realities of life.

The referee remained silent upon hearing this, his gaze slowly falling on Long Xiaoyao. Although it was a calm gaze, it put considerable pressure on Long Xiaoyao.

Upon hearing Sheng Yangyue's words, Long Xiaoyao wanted to agree, but for the sake of the team's overall interests, he wanted to refuse.

But the referee's gaze put pressure on him, making him completely afraid to touch the ball, and he could only silently consider whether or not to agree to Sheng Yangyue's request.

Just then, from the audience seats of the Sun Moon Empire, a nobleman suddenly shouted, "One-on-one! Say yes!"

"There's a clear winner! Not agreeing is cowardly!"

"Our Sun Moon Captain has made such an application, does your Imperial Academy dare not?"

"Captain of the Di'ao Team, didn't you claim to be one of the strongest geniuses among the Twin Holy Dragons? Why don't you dare to accept?"

"You're not afraid, are you?"

"..."

These words were like sharp blades piercing Long Xiaoyao's heart, instantly causing this genius boy to lose his mind—genius boys are most susceptible to provocation.

Long Xiaoyao put down the ball, withdrew his hand, looked at Sheng Yangyue across the table with a smile on her lips, and slowly said, "I agree." After saying that, he turned to look at his team leader and gave him an apologetic look.

Teacher Lin wasn't angry; instead, she nodded at him encouragingly.

He knew his students' level well. If this Sun Moon Academy captain dared to try and cause trouble, then let Sun Moon Academy take third place!

Anyway, their Sun and Moon team has been second place for so long, they might be happy to switch positions.

Seeing that Long Xiaoyao had agreed, the referee turned his gaze to Sheng Yangyue and asked, "Captain Riyue, are you sure?"

“Yes, referee,” Sheng Yangyue replied, “this is the best solution between Captain Di’ao and me.”

"It's a pity I can't kill anyone, otherwise I would like to have a duel with Captain Dio that would determine who is better and who will live or die."

Sheng Yangyue's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but the people sitting in the arena were all high-class nobles or powerful soul masters. When they heard Sheng Yangyue's words, they couldn't help but give the Sun Moon Captain a thumbs up. This was the most courageous Sun Moon Captain they had ever seen.

The referee, appointed by the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, fell silent at that moment.

He was assigned here; if there were any casualties, how would he explain it to His Majesty the Emperor?

Upon hearing Sheng Yangyue's words, the emperor on the highest platform said with satisfaction, "Truly worthy of being the young man I have taken a liking to. His words are indeed different. Don't you agree, Elder Zhong?"

At this moment, Zhongli Laogui stood in the shadows of the corner, his eyes behind the mask fixed on Long Xiaoyao below the stage, and asked, "Your Majesty, is it really impossible to make a move?"

"Elder Zhong, we should wait until the Soul Master Competition is over before discussing this, otherwise it will be very difficult for me."

"I understand."

The audience...

Long Xiaoyao was so angry at Sheng Yangyue's boastful words that he laughed. If the Soul Master Competition allowed killing, he would have wiped out the entire Sun Moon Empire team long ago, and there was no need for him to show mercy: "Sun Moon Captain, I hope your performance later will be as impressive as your mouth right now."

"Then let's wait and see!"

Sheng Yangyue replied and, at the referee's signal, distanced herself from Long Xiaoyao.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit, as if they wanted to completely devour each other!
The moment the referee shouts "Start".

Long Xiaoyao immediately released his martial spirit and spirit rings. Six spirit rings slowly rose from his feet, yellow, purple, and black – a standard spirit ring configuration!
"First Soul Skill, Dark Dragon Claw!"

Terrifying dark elements rapidly enveloped his right palm, instantly transforming into the claw of a dark holy dragon, and he charged swiftly towards Holy Sun Moon.

No matter how much they looked down on Sheng Yangyue, they still had to be cautious and test him at this moment.

However, just as the dragon claw was about to touch Sheng Yangyue, the captain of the Sun and Moon team made an unexpected move, easily grabbing Long Xiaoyao's wrist with the dragon claw and throwing it off the field.

Fortunately, Long Xiaoyao reacted quickly, immediately adjusted his body, and then used his dragon claws to grab the floor to stop.

However, deep claw marks were still left on the floor, indicating that Sheng Yangyue had used tremendous strength and almost threw Long Xiaoyao out.

"Let's skip the testing!" At this moment, Sheng Yangyue's calm gaze fell on Long Xiaoyao, and she slowly spoke, "If this is all you've got, you'll be eliminated by me in an instant."

"You're really arrogant, not even activating your Martial Soul. Do you think you can take me down?" Long Xiaoyao said, as dark elements began to envelop his entire body.

The Dark Holy Dragon's power lies in its possession of dark elements that approach the ultimate darkness.

He was indeed a bit careless during the test just now.

Next, he would mercilessly crush this arrogant guy in front of him who hadn't even opened his martial soul and soul rings.

"Vice Captain Xishui, who do you think will win, Captain Xishui or Captain Di'ao?"

At this moment, the members of the Sun and Moon team were all watching the two players on the stage who were now fighting back and forth. Someone couldn't help but ask Ye Xishui a question.

Among those present, only Ye Xishui truly understood the captain.

Although the captain didn't consult them this time, they still trusted him, but they were still a little worried, so they wanted to ask him to be on the safe side.

Otherwise, if the Sun and Moon team drops from second to third place, that would be...

At this moment, Ye Xishui was also intently watching Sheng Yangyue, who was fighting back and forth with Long Xiaoyao on the stage. After thinking for a moment, she answered the curious children beside her:

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Yang Yue and Long Xiaoyao are fighting evenly now. In reality, Yang Yue is just being playful and leading Long Xiaoyao around by the nose."

From beginning to end, Ye Xishui did not sense any soul power fluctuations from Yang Yue.

If someone can instantly kill a ten-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant with all their might, surely they can't instantly kill a Soul Emperor?
Ye Xishui didn't believe it at all.

However, sometimes she really couldn't understand why Yang Yue's actions were always incomprehensible to her.

“That’s right.” Kong Deming said at this moment, “Yang Yue is just playing the fool right now, doing whatever makes him happy.”

This is the difference between you and him, so after this Soul Master Competition ends, you must train hard!
