Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 199 Star Tribulation
Upon hearing the referee's verdict, Lin Xingyu withdrew his hand from Dai Yun'er's head.

He withdrew his martial spirit and walked off the arena step by step.

When he went on stage, the audience was in an uproar; when he left the stage, you could hear a pin drop.

Dai Yun'er seemed to snap out of her daze at this moment, and turned around and walked off the stage in a daze.

Feeling wronged?
He was instantly defeated as soon as he entered the game, and he didn't get to show any of his strength. He must have felt wronged.

Are you convinced?
Although the defeat was quite humiliating, they didn't show any of their strength.

Various thoughts kept echoing in his mind, such as that he had just been careless, failed to dodge, and did not detect the opponent's soul skill. If they fought again, he would definitely avoid the range of the opponent's soul skill as soon as possible.

By relying on their agile mobility and constantly roaming the perimeter, they will always be able to seize the opportunity to win.

For example, Lin Xingyu is just a bit stronger in soul power. Once I catch up with him in the future, I will definitely be able to beat him up.

It showcases the power of the Starry Sky Girls.

Then you will naturally receive countless applause.

Another example……

Even though you can come up with hundreds or thousands of reasons in your mind.

But if you ask her what her deepest thoughts are, two words will vaguely emerge.

I'm convinced.

She couldn't even use age or education as an excuse; both were of similar age, and she enjoyed the best education in the entire empire, along with the occasional guidance of the Imperial Preceptor.

There were no fancy moves or flashy displays throughout the entire battle.

Only the purest form of violence.

There's nothing I can do, there's just nothing I can do.

By the time they reached the private room, Dai Yun'er was already convinced.

But when I opened the door to the private room, my eyes still couldn't help but turn a little red.

One by one, the transparent pearls fell silently.

How could someone lose so pathetically...

You should at least have a fierce confrontation with me before knocking me off the stage!

"Alright! Alright! Yun'er, it's just a loss in one match. Your brothers will get revenge for you later." Dai Yueyan and Long Yue stood guard here and welcomed Dai Yun'er in. Seeing Dai Yun'er's upset expression, Dai Yueyan quickly comforted her gently.

Hearing Dai Yueyan's words of comfort, Dai Yun'er could no longer hold back.

She lunged forward, hugged Dai Yueyan tightly, and burst into tears.

Sobbing, she said, "Fourth Brother, Brother Long, your little sister was beaten so badly today, you have to avenge me!"

Long Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, my dearest little princess, I will definitely avenge you and make him understand what despair is."

Dai Yun'er stopped sobbing and said, "That guy even put his hand on my head. One-on-one wasn't enough. Next, I'll team up with Brother Long in the doubles battle. I'm going to take revenge myself."

Long Yue raised his hand and patted Dai Yun'er's head: "Of course, no problem. When Brother Long beats him down, you can take revenge however you want."

Dai Yueyan finally couldn't help but interject, "Yun'er, you need to maintain your image. You'll probably never get married if you keep this up."

"If I can't get married, my brothers will support me!"

After a pause, Dai Yun'er said, "Let's switch partners in the duo battle. Fourth Brother, you and Brother Long will team up."

Upon hearing Dai Yun'er's words, Long Yue and Dai Yueyan exchanged a glance, both showing surprise in each other's eyes.

“Yun’er has grown up and knows how to care about her older brother, but it doesn’t matter. Brother Long will definitely beat him! Besides, even if we haven’t gone on stage yet, there’s no need to change the list now! Losing is losing, and we’re not the kind of people who can’t afford to lose!” Long Yue said with a smile.

Dai Yueyan then said thoughtfully, "Yun'er, his power is very strong? What form does it take? Gravity? Gravity?"

After recalling for a moment, Dai Yun'er's aggrieved expression completely disappeared, and she said quite solemnly, "It should be the power of magnetic fields. I felt completely controlled by his power when I was only thirty meters away from him. His power was not only strong, but it also gave me a very scary feeling. I felt that he was on par with Brother Long."

After a pause, Dai Yun'er added, "His aura is similar to Brother Long's, yet different. If Brother Long is as solid as the earth, then he is as vast and expansive as the sky."

Long Yue narrowed his eyes slightly. Dai Yun'er possessed the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, making her exceptionally talented in mental power and perception.

Long Yue couldn't help but reveal a set of white teeth and said, "Then let the heavens and the earth collide, and see if the earth collapses or the heavens fall."

Dai Yueyan also gave up the idea of ​​going on stage to avenge his sister. It seems that among the Eight Heavenly Kings, only Long Yue is qualified to go up against Lin Xingyu.

Anyone else who plays would probably just be a liability.

……

"Captain! May you have good fortune!" Xie Xie was the first to come over and offer his blessing.

Lin Xingyu nodded slightly.

The others also offered their blessings.

Such an easy victory in the first match is a good omen no matter how you look at it.

The competition proceeded smoothly and efficiently throughout the rest of the afternoon.

Whether it was the eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy, Shrek Academy, or the seven Radiant Stars of Sun Moon Royal Academy, they all took to the stage to perform.

There were collisions all afternoon, but no one else was involved.

However, the round-robin tournament is divided into groups, and the groups will inevitably play against each other.

For example, the unluckiest guy, Yue Zhengyu, was paired with Long Yue...

All I can say is wish him good luck...

"Wu Lin, it's your turn to go on stage," Yue Zhengyu said with a smile.

Tang Wulin exhaled solemnly and slowly walked towards the arena.

"Sima Xian's martial soul is a bull-horned dragon, possessing half of the true dragon bloodline..."

Listening to Fang'er's explanation on the radio, Tang Wulin, who had initially felt somewhat troubled by the opponent's five spirit rings, finally couldn't help but relax a little.

He even couldn't help but smile.

Dragon-type martial souls are good!
Fight dragon-type martial souls!

"So many dragon-type martial souls!" Zhou Hanyou couldn't help but exclaim as he listened to Fang'er's explanation over the loudspeaker in the waiting area.

The group watched the competition for an entire afternoon. During each match, the broadcast would spend most of the time explaining the contestant's martial spirit.

Unless their martial spirit is extremely rare, they will generally report the name and origin of their martial spirit.

For example, Tang Wulin, who clearly possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, had it covered in a pattern of azure dragons...

Furthermore, since he directly used his Qi and Blood in combat, the broadcast did not reveal the name of his Martial Soul.

Because they weren't sure what kind of martial spirit it was either...

“Indeed, there are a lot! Just look at how many martial souls are related to the true dragon!” Zhou Tian’er said to her sister.

Leaving aside the Eight Heavenly Kings, even the slightly more outstanding contestants' martial souls are basically related to dragons.

Lin Xingyu explained, "That's normal. When the Star Luo Empire first came to this continent, things weren't peaceful."

"To be precise, they suffered a lot of killings. Later, the Star Luo Empire chose to integrate with the natives of the continent, largely because the natives generally had extremely strong bloodlines."

"And when these bloodlines and martial spirits combine, they can give birth to a stronger next generation, just like the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy. Some people are strong because their bloodlines and martial spirits are the same, and the combination of the two makes their power even stronger."

Xie Xie said thoughtfully, "Like the dragon bloodline in Wu Lin?"

Lin Xingyu nodded and said, "The principle is similar, but the dragon bloodline in his body is ridiculously high, which is equivalent to a second martial soul. Although it has caused a certain mutation in his martial soul, the amplification produced is not strong enough because martial soul and bloodline are different."

"Generally speaking, dragon bloodlines make it easier for Soul Masters to awaken dragon-type Martial Souls, which is why we see so many dragon-type Martial Souls."

"The dragon bloodline in the humans of this continent is not as abundant as that in Wu Lin."

On the arena, Tang Wulin, clad in golden dragon scales and with two golden halos beneath his feet, coldly stared at Sima Xian opposite him, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Those with rich bloodlines have already developed spirit rings. That's a bit ridiculously high," Wu Siduo remarked.

"The atavism is truly remarkable; he could practically be called a little dragon," Xie Xie remarked.

As someone whose martial soul is also related to dragons, he was most sensitive to the suppression he felt from Tang Wulin.

"Captain, how do you know so much?" Wu Siduo asked curiously. Lin Xingyu said somewhat helplessly, "Read more books, don't be illiterate. All this information is recorded in the academy library..."

"If I remember correctly, it was a person with the pen name Yunxiake who came to Xingluo to investigate about six hundred years ago and wrote a book called 'Record of Investigation on the Origin of the Bloodline of Xingluo Dragons'.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's gaze sharpened slightly.

He made up his mind that once he got back, he would read every book he could find about dragons.

The secret realms related to dragons that I had previously asked someone to investigate.

The aura of the land of inheritance I sensed became even more pronounced after I arrived here.

Although the possibility that the place of inheritance might exist in a spatial rift made his senses sometimes unreliable and sometimes ineffective.

So much so that even his own subordinates couldn't find it.

But if we read more books, we might be able to find places where humans with a strong dragon lineage gather.

Where can you find such strong clues to dragon lineage? There must be something special about it.

This makes the search target even smaller.

Reading is still very useful.

Gu Yue couldn't help but steal a glance at Na'er sitting there.

Na'er's two fair and tender legs were exposed, and her long silver hair was draped behind her.

Its large, purple eyes quietly watched the arena outside.

Gu Yue made up her mind that even if Na'er sensed the news about the secret realm, she would pretend it didn't exist.

We absolutely cannot bring this traitor along.

You must keep everything inside for yourself.

We need to get her out of there.

At the same time, Gu Yue still felt a little proud of this illiterate man who only knew how to practice shooting.

I have read quite a few books over the years.

"So the dragon race on the Star Luo Continent must have been quite prosperous in the past," Zhou Hanyou said calmly.

Xie Xie laughed and said, "Perhaps. Didn't Gu Yue tell us the legend of the Mountain Dragon King before?"

"Perhaps the entire Star Luo Continent is the body of a Mountain Dragon King, and we are standing on that Mountain Dragon King's body now."

"Impossible, how big would the Mountain Dragon King have to be?" Wu Siduo retorted instinctively.

Although Star Luo Continent cannot be compared with Douluo Continent, it is still a whole continent, not just an island!

"It's possible; the Dragon God legend is about a god."

Gu Yue said thoughtfully.

Perhaps we could examine the map to see where the core of the Mountain Dragon King is located if the Star Luo Continent truly is the body of the Mountain Dragon King.

If there is a secret realm, it will most likely be located in that area.

"So, in the next year, we can try to collect more things related to the dragon race. Maybe we can find some opportunities." Xie Xie couldn't help but let his eyes light up.

He decided to focus on both dragon-related and metal-related aspects when strengthening his martial soul.

Xie Xie became instantly interested upon hearing this news.

"Whether it's dragon blood, dragon flesh, dragon bones, dragon pills, or dragon energy, they're all good stuff. Even getting a little bit is a gain."

Over time, this might allow your martial spirit to evolve!
Gu Yue subconsciously turned around and met Na'er's gaze.

Then the two of them looked at Xie Xie at the same time.

At the same time, he made up his mind that he would definitely teach him a lesson when he had the chance.

I'll make you think about it!

On the arena, relying on the suppression of bloodline, Sima Xian was rendered powerless to resist in an instant, and Tang Wulin defeated Sima Xian without any surprise, thus achieving the final victory.

……

Back at the Xingluo Hotel.

The students of Shrek Academy went off to complete their respective tasks.

Even if their individual strengths have reached their limit, what follows is simply a long period of accumulation.

Had dinner.

Lin Xingyu walked up the hotel stairs to the top floor.

Under the starry sky, a figure sat gracefully cross-legged.

Her light blue long hair was styled into two ponytails, and she gave Lin Xingyu a sweet smile when she saw him arrive.

It was Xu Xiaoyan.

Lin Xingyu nodded, then sat cross-legged beside him.

Starfall ability activated!
In an instant, countless starlight was drawn down from beyond the heavens by him.

The starlight within a radius of tens of meters around him was brighter than ever before.

Xu Xiaoyan then entered a meditative state.

The power of stars is of a higher level than the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

There are probably only three people in the team who can utilize the power of the stars.

Meditation while following Lin Xingyu will naturally make progress faster.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xingyu once again sensed a sharp sword intent appear beside him.

This sword intent was perfectly integrated into the stellar force field dominated by Lin Xingyu, and its resonance influenced even more stellar power.

Compared to the star power guided by Xu Xiaoyan, the star power drawn down by this sword intent was full of sharpness, slaughter, and calamity.

But on the contrary, it is even more compatible with the star power guided by Lin Xingyu himself, making it perfect.

The stellar power guided by Xu Xiaoyan is more gentle and comprehensive, full of celestial phenomena, changes, antiquity, and mystery...

I do not know how long it has been.

As time passed, the stars in the sky gradually disappeared.

Lin Xingyu slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Xiaoyan on the left was surrounded by specks of golden starlight.

On the right, Ye Xinglan, with golden hair, was staring intently at the Star God Sword in her hand.

There, the Star Tribulation Sword Intent on her Star God Sword radiated a captivating light.

It constantly exudes murderous intent.

At the same time, it breathes in the starlight from the sky, using its martial spirit as a converter to temper its essence, energy, and spirit.

Perhaps because of Lin Xingyu, Ye Xinglan's star attribute is purer.

And the sword intent he possessed also changed.

The sword intent she now wields is called Star Tribulation.

One sword, one calamity; endless stars, endless calamities!
On the ship that arrived at Xingluo, Ye Xinglan saw Lin Xingyu and Xu Xiaoyan guiding the power of the stars to cultivate every night.

After obtaining her consent, she would come over whenever the celestial signs aligned.

The three of them guided the light of the stars together.

"I'm going back now," Ye Xinglan said.

She has a very strong personality, or rather, she is stubborn and obsessive, but she is very suitable for sword practice.

Sword intent is the intent of the heart.
