Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 269 First Battle of the Hall of Light, Encountering Ye Wuqing Again (3 words)

"Tiandu Academy member, fallen in battle." The referee carefully examined the condition of the Tiandu Academy youth and announced the result with no other option.

The people from the Tiandu Academy waiting area immediately looked towards the Holy Spirit Sect with uncontrollable rage, but when they lifted up the body of their teammate, a large amount of blood gushed from the young man's seven orifices, staining the arena with a thick crimson hue.

"How could you kill someone?" The teacher in charge of the group in the rest area of ​​Tiandu Academy could no longer hold back and immediately glared angrily at the Holy Spirit Sect's rest area.

Inside the Holy Spirit Sect's rest area, a somewhat cold voice rang out: "Didn't people die in the previous matches? If you have the ability, you can naturally kill our people as well, and we will have no objections."

Upon hearing this voice, several people in the Shrek Academy rest area exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

The voice sounded familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar.

In the rest area of ​​the Bright Hall, Zhang Lexuan trembled and tentatively cast an inquiring glance at Wang Dong'er.

Wang Donger nodded.

The cold, clear voice within the Holy Spirit Sect belonged to Ma Xiaotao, the Fire Phoenix Saintess. She had not been able to escape her fate.

Zhang Lexuan remained silent.

The teacher leading the Tiandu Academy team was extremely agitated and angrily declared, "This is just a competition, not a life-or-death struggle. They are clearly attempting murder; this is not an accidental killing! No way, Tiandu Academy is withdrawing from this competition!"

Most of the audience members frowned. Although they were bloodthirsty viewers, they could only appreciate the magnificent battles of the Soul Masters, not the bizarre death of the young man from Tiandu Academy.

Compared to the Holy Spirit Sect, the battle between Shrek Academy and the Heavenly Armor Sect just now seemed like child's play.

The other participating teams were equally terrified and angry.

On the platform, Xu Tianran, sitting in a wheelchair, frowned slightly and said to the man in black robes beside him, "Grand Preceptor, this is just a competition after all. Tell your people to be careful not to go too far, lest they give others something to criticize."

"Hmm," the Imperial Advisor responded faintly, without saying anything more.

If Tiandu Academy withdraws from the competition, the Holy Spirit Sect will automatically win.

"The Hall of Light versus the Academy of Righteousness, both teams are entering the arena." The elderly master of ceremonies promptly announced the news of the next match.

"Zhengtian Academy?" Wang Dong'er looked towards the waiting area and saw Ye Wuqing escorting the team members who were about to go into battle to the waiting area.

Ye Wuqing also noticed Wang Dong'er. Looking at her long pinkish-blue hair, he had a sudden thought and asked, "Star Luo Tournament, Wang Dong'er?"

Wang Dong'er nodded, a faint smile appearing beneath her veil: "It's me."

"We meet again." Ye Wuqing still had that poker face. "I didn't expect to run into your team. Did you join a sect? Or were you originally from a sect?"

Wang Dong'er blinked: "I am the Lord of the Hall of Light. How about it, do you want to come?"

"Cough cough." Even Ye Wuqing, with his poker face, couldn't help but choke a little.

The last time we met, he was a student, and now he's established his own school? And he can even continue to participate in competitions...

"I'm a teacher at Zhengtian Academy now, so I'm afraid I can't come to you for help." Ye Wuqing shook his head. "Since it's you, our students probably won't be able to win the competition either. I hope you can go easy on them and not leave them with too much of a trauma."

“It’s wrapped.” Wang Dong’er gestured.

She originally wanted to make a seven-game winning streak in her debut match to liven up the atmosphere, but since Ye Wuqing had said so, she would give him face.

In a sense, the Hall of Light doesn't really distinguish between regulars and substitutes. If you have to talk about regulars, there are only four people, and the rest can all be considered substitutes.

This time, Wang Dong'er brought Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Nana, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Huo Yuhao to the stage.

In this competition, Zhengtian Academy's lineup is not much different from Tianjia Sect's. In the individual elimination rounds, Wang Dong'er only sent Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Nana.

That's right, Ning Tian, ​​who plays as a support, is also on the roster for the individual elimination rounds.

After five years of training, Ning Tian is now a genuine Soul Emperor and a Level 5 Soul Master, not a pure support Soul Master without combat power.

In other words, Ning Tian's talent for crafting soul tools isn't the most outstanding; he's far behind in that area. Otherwise, he would already be a level six soul tool master.

However, in terms of usage alone, she is capable of using a level six soul tool normally, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's financial resources are sufficient to support Ning Tian in arming himself.

Not only Ning Tian, ​​but Nana is also a Soul Emperor, and Wu Feng is a Soul King. In fact, among the people from the Hall of Light who can participate now, only Wu Feng, the Lan sisters, and Huo Yuhao, who originally had the lowest soul power, have not yet broken through to the Soul Emperor level.

Wu Feng's soul power level is higher, and the Lan sisters have also been elevated to a higher level compared to their original fate of only being Soul Masters.

Although Huo Yuhao no longer suffers from the debuff of slow cultivation speed due to extreme attributes, he also lacks the assistance of the "Power of Haodong" from the original work. Relying solely on his own hard work, he is still somewhat lacking, so he is only a Soul King.

If it weren't for saving face for Ye Wuqing, Wang Dong'er wouldn't even need to bring all seven people; just Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Nana would have been enough.

Inside the Shrek Academy rest area, Beibei and the others were extremely red-faced. They had already identified Wang Dong'er as the leader because of her unique pink and blue long hair. Ning Tian and Wu Feng could also recall who she was after a little thought. Only Nana was someone they didn't recognize.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could she possibly be the Soul Emperor! It's fake, it's all fake!" Bei Bei roared.

Dai Huabin was also incredibly powerful. How much effort did he put in to reach the Soul Emperor level? He even had the Sea God Pavilion Master help him with his cultivation!
Ning Tian, ​​being a support-type Soul Master, was already somewhat inferior to him. Support-type Soul Masters cultivate their Martial Souls more slowly than normal Soul Masters. If Ning Tian were a Soul King at this moment, even if he was two or three levels away from becoming a Soul Emperor, he could understand. But he couldn't possibly be a Soul Emperor!
On the competition stage, facing the offensive of Ning Tian and his two companions, Zheng Tian Academy was naturally unable to withstand it. After losing five individual elimination matches, the captain of Zheng Tian Academy decisively gave up the individual elimination matches and started the team battle.

As expected, Wang Dong'er didn't make a move at all, just stood behind and watched. Huo Yuhao only used his mental detection and mental sharing skills throughout the entire battle. The remaining five people, with Wu Feng and Nana as the main attackers, Ning Tian only used his first soul skill, Speed ​​Boost, and his third soul skill, Power Boost. Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo also only used their first and second soul skills. The entire team battle ended with overwhelming force, and the seven people from Zhengtian Academy had no ability to resist.

While evenly matched battles are certainly a feast for the eyes, a crushing defeat is even more exhilarating.

As soon as the power of the Hall of Light was displayed, the audience immediately began to cheer for its strength.

This made Xu Sanshi feel resentful again.

The strength of Zhengtian Academy and Tianjia Sect is roughly the same. Shrek Academy even defeated Tianjia Sect's Seven-in-One Combination Technique. Why can't Shrek Academy receive such cheers? Are you judging people with prejudice?

The first round of competition has ended, with a total of 84 teams advancing. Among them are teams that won by clever tactics and teams that crushed their opponents with absolute strength.

In general, due to the elimination format, many teams used some trump cards to avoid being eliminated in the first round. Some used powerful individual soul skills, while others used team cooperation skills like those of the Heavenly Armor Sect.

The Mingdu Tournament does not reserve hotel rooms or rest areas for teams that have completely lost the competition. Therefore, the losing teams either go home directly or find accommodation in Mingdu and blend in with the general public to watch the competition.

At Zhengtian Academy, before leaving, Wang Dong'er subtly reminded Ye Wuqing of the dangers of Mingdu once again. Ye Wuqing, meanwhile, thought of the mysterious letter that had warned of the dangers of Mingdu.

However, Ye Wuqing did not ask the question. Instead, he decided to stay in Mingdu with his men and wait until the Bright Hall competition was over before trying to curry favor with them.

This is not shameful.

On the night the first round of the competition ended, in the Sun and Moon Palace, Xu Tianran, as the Crown Prince Regent, had moved to a new place to handle government affairs.

"Your Highness."

Orange came to Xu Tianran's side and bowed.

"You've arrived?" Xu Tianran asked without looking up, "How was the harvest?"

Orange adopted a serious expression and said, "The results have been minimal. Many of the eliminated teams have rented new hotels or even private residences in Mingdu, intending to continue watching the competition."

"Hmm?" Xu Tianran raised his head, his eyes fixed on the orange.

"Has the plan been leaked?"

"Perhaps it wasn't a leak of the plan, but rather that His Highness organized the competition exceptionally well," Orange said to Xu Tianran after a moment's consideration.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran didn't make any move for a moment. After a long while, he laughed and said, "Ju Zi, your praise is too obvious. As for this Soul Battle Competition, I... no, I was just using the convenience of the Empire and the Soul Guidance Device. Any prince could have done the same. How is it my achievement?"

The Crown Prince resides in the Eastern Palace, hence referring to himself as "this palace," but Xu Tianran, caught off guard, almost revealed his true thoughts.

Ju Zi ignored him and simply smiled faintly, "Now it is His Highness who is in charge of the country, not the other princes, is it?"

“Yes, you’re right.” Xu Tianran nodded. “I won, and they lost. Fine, since these people don’t want to leave, let’s wait until the competition is over and send them off with dignity.”

Orange stood silently to the side, seemingly just a listener, offering no advice.

After reporting everything to Xu Tianran, Ju Zi walked out of the main hall, paused for a moment, and then continued on her way.

Although Xu Tianran didn't show it, Ju Zi knew that the suspicious Xu Tianran had eventually developed a slight suspicion. However, Ju Zi had saved his life after all, and she had always behaved respectfully and without overstepping any boundaries, so Xu Tianran eventually dispelled his suspicion.
