Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 212 The competition begins, Yu Xiaogang goes blind first.

A few days later, early morning.

Centered on the Heaven Dou Grand Battle Arena, nearly one-third of the area of ​​Heaven Dou City was completely surrounded.

Outside the arena, colorful banners fluttered in the morning breeze as participating teams from various academies of the Heavenly Dou Empire arrived one after another.

The Royal Fighting Team was the first to enter the arena, led by Dugu Bo, with Ling Qianyao standing at the very front of the team, followed by Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and other team members.

"That's Ling Qianyao!"

"My God, he's even more handsome than the rumors say, just like those mythical figures in storybooks. I really want to have his babies!"

"Is that Zhu Zhuqing next to me? What a beautiful girl! It's true what they say, other people's fiancées are always the most alluring. When will I be the one to be 'stealed' by someone else?"

A sickly blush crept onto the woman's face, as if she had thought of something strange.

Of course, many people gritted their teeth and stared at Ling Qianyao with resentment, as if their wives had been stolen from them.

The gasps and whispers in the crowd were like boiling oil in a pot, and wherever the Royal Fighting Team went, the cheers rose higher and higher.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was aloof as she glanced at Ling Qianyao with a mocking look. "Qianyao, are you feeling quite smug?"

"Ahem, keep it low-key."

Meanwhile, in the other passage, the Shrek students entered wearing their dingy green school uniforms.

Ma Hongjun shrank his neck to avoid the strange looks coming from all directions: "These clothes are too embarrassing, you four-eyed old man, I'll never forgive you!"

"Shut up!" Dai Mubai's face turned ashen. "Dean Flander, you yourself are only wearing an outfit with a very small logo, huh?"

Flander glanced at the sky and thought, "What a joke! How can that be the same? I'm the dean, I have my pride."

Tang San's expression was also somewhat unpleasant; this was the first time he had ever been stared at by so many strange eyes.

Fortunately, he has been tempered by countless trials and tribulations, and his mind is at peace. He will not be swayed by the opinions of others.

He took a deep breath and walked forward with a determined look in his eyes.

However, the next second, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd as one person spoke.

"Haha, are those vomit prints on their chests?"

"Shrek Academy? Never heard of such a worthless academy. These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can participate in the competition? Where did this country bumpkin come from, dressed like a green-haired turtle?"

"Holy crap, there's such a huge advertisement on the back! Are they desperate for money? Using their competition uniforms for advertising is absolutely ridiculous!"

A barrage of mocking remarks filled the air, and the Shrek Academy members' faces turned grim. Dai Mubai's brows furrowed, his eyes blazing with fury, while Tang San clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his eyes turning bloodshot.

"Hoo—endure, endure. The most important thing my father and teachers taught me was to control my emotions and know how to endure."

Such mocking remarks will only be met with a resounding rebuttal from me, Tang San. Then, it will be clear who the clown is. Hmph!

Despite saying that he didn't care about other people's opinions, Shrek still consciously chose a less crowded path and headed towards the secluded rest area.

Yu Xiaogang, who was following beside him, was the most indifferent, as if the belittling and ridicule were nothing to him. Even Flander admired his thick skin.

In the rest area, Tang San looked toward the VIP seats.

In the first row of the VIP section, which also boasts the best view in the entire Great Soul Arena, sat several distinguished individuals.

The person in the middle, dressed in a golden-red imperial robe and wearing a golden-diamond crown, is none other than Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

On one side was Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whom he had met many times before. He had tried to start a business under Ning Fengzhi's wing, but ended up losing everything, working for Ning Fengzhi for free for months, and even handing over the method of making hidden weapons.

However, his seat was smaller and further back. The one sitting in the same prestigious seat as the Snow Night Emperor, closer to the front, must be the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, as the teacher had mentioned.

"female?"

Tang San narrowed his eyes. "Hmph, the Spirit Hall is probably a waste. My father beat a pope to death, so now they can only choose her."

That's good, though. Since the teacher said he could get the Twin Martial Soul Cultivation Method from her, then when we're dealing with the Spirit Hall later, we can put her last.

So what if you have twin martial souls? You can only use one martial soul at a time. My Clear Sky Hammer will surely defeat you.

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang's voice rang in his ear: "Xiao San, do you see that? That's Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"Teacher, when do you plan to see her?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath: "I'll go find her after the opening ceremony. Don't worry, Xiao San, for the sake of your twin martial souls, your teacher will definitely persuade her."

Tang San nodded repeatedly, moved. If the other party refused, it would be a death sentence!
Looking at Bibi Dong in the distance, Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly. Indeed, the higher a Soul Master's cultivation level, the fewer traces of time will be left on their body.

Unlike him, who is now a good-for-nothing and looks like a middle-aged or elderly person, the other person looks so cold and noble that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is around twenty years old.

He suddenly regretted it; he shouldn't have agreed to Liu Erlong's request so soon. He should have checked on Bibi Dong's situation first.

Just then, a majestic voice came from above: "Silence!"

The whole place fell silent instantly.

On the high platform, Emperor Xueye spoke aloud through his megaphone.

"I, Xue Ye, Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, hereby declare the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies officially open!"

Thunderous applause followed, followed by a string of official platitudes.

Bibi Dong, sitting in the VIP section, seemed to be listening attentively to Emperor Xueye's opening speech, but in reality, her peripheral vision was always fixed on Ling Qianyao.

Especially with Qian Renxue nearby, she felt it was quite amusing to "tease" Ling Qianyao telepathically right now. She was flirting with Ling Qianyao in front of Qian Renxue, and she had no idea... hmph!
Ling Qianyao looked up as if sensing something, and the moment their eyes met in the air, Bibi Dong's tongue lightly traced the corner of her lips.

Suddenly, she frowned slightly and glanced at Shrek's location out of the corner of her eye.

"Yu Xiaogang? Ha, so it's you, you piece of trash, you ant, daring to spy on me with your filthy gaze? Hmph, you're asking for death!"

In the next instant, she condensed a soul force imbued with the attribute of death and silently attacked the direction where Yu Xiaogang was.

"Ah! My eyes, my eyes!"

Yu Xiaogang, who was deeply moved by his own love story, suddenly screamed, covered his eyes with his hands, and bent over in pain.

His body trembled from the excruciating pain, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The scream was particularly abrupt in the relatively quiet environment, drawing the attention of everyone around.

Tang San's expression changed drastically. "Teacher, teacher, what's wrong?!"

"Xiaogang, Xiaogang, say something!" Liu Erlong, who had just arrived, was immediately anxious.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Yu Xiaogang's face, mingling with blood. "My eyes... I can't see clearly! Quick, take me to get treatment! I bear the name of a master; I can't be blind!"

Bibi Dong sneered inwardly, "You dare to show yourself, very good. Do you think I'll let you go? What are eyes? Afterwards, I want you to suffer even more pain before dying in despair."
