Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 176 Long Yue: Is it inappropriate to praise other men in front of me?
Xingluo Stadium.

The Green Skull attack last night did not dampen people's interest in watching the Soul Fighting Tournament; the crowds were still enormous, with many waving flags.

Today's match is the round of 32 to 16, a two-on-two format.

On the side of the Spirit Transmission Academy, six of the thirty-two spots were occupied by the top students. As for the Monster Academy, four Heavenly Kings and the remaining students occupied five spots.

Because of Nan Liujing, the people of Xingluo City were particularly friendly towards the students from Chuanling Academy, and there was no booing or jeering.

"He's here!"

"Thor!"

"Thor!"

Suddenly, just as dozens of participants in the rest area were quietly waiting for the competition to begin, several super-large soul-guided screens in the stadium all displayed a young man walking into the audience.

The shouts were like a mountain roar and a tsunami, echoing far and wide.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes were fixed excitedly on Nan Liujing, who was waving.

Thanks to the emperor's efforts, news of the attack on Xingluo City had spread throughout the entire Xingluo Continent by dawn. Everyone, from three-year-olds to eighty-year-olds, knew the name Nan Liujing.

Gu Yue, standing beside Nan Liujing, had a deeper understanding of the feeling of thousands of people shouting in unison. She gazed at Nan Liujing's tall figure with a slightly infatuated look.

VIP room.

The other members of Monster Academy who hadn't participated in the two-on-two matches watched with complicated expressions as Nan Liujing, this outsider, took away their home turf.

Long Yue crossed his arms, tapping his thick arms with his fingers, his eyes gleaming with a deep, dark red light.

Unlike the original timeline, in this life, he did not participate in the two-on-two competition with Dai Yun'er. Instead, he participated in the individual competitions and used his domineering methods to defeat his opponents, which intimidated every opponent. Subsequent contestants almost all chose to concede defeat when they saw him.

He and Nan Liujing are now considered the two finalists in the individual competition; the others are only thinking about competing for third place.

"Crazy Brother, Brother Su Mu, you have no idea what happened last night after Nan Liujing took that Thunderous Hell Vine back into his body. My god, he actually has a 100,000-year-old soul spirit, and the color of his soul ring is an unprecedented purple-gold. He's so domineering."

Dai Yun'er sat excitedly on the sofa, explaining to the two of them what had happened outside the Tianxing Theater the night before.

Su Mu's expression hardened: "A 100,000-year-old soul? Yun'er, are you sure?"

Dai Yun'er hummed and said, "Of course I'm sure, Fourth Brother saw it too."

Su Mu turned to look at Dai Yueyan, who nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "It's true. All of you elders saw it last night. He's simply from a different world than us."

Su Mu asked in astonishment, "What is his cultivation level?"

Dai Yun'er smiled and said, "Soul Emperor."

"Soul Emperor?" Su Mu's eyes widened in disbelief. "No, he's only a Soul Emperor, how could he withstand a 100,000-year-old soul spirit?"

"Who knows? Maybe that's what a peerless genius is like," Dai Yun'er said with a grin. "Otherwise, how could he have defeated you, Brother Su Mu, with just one blow?"

Su Mu's face darkened: "Can we forget about this?"

Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er exchanged a glance, and the brother and sister couldn't help but laugh.

The three chatted, but they didn't notice that Long Yue hadn't said a single word.

The only time his eyes would flash a terrifying red light was when he heard Dai Yun'er excitedly praising another man.

He knew that Dai Yun'er only regarded him as an older brother and had no romantic feelings for him, but he did have some feelings for Dai Yun'er.

“Ten thousand years…” Long Yue’s gaze was fixed on Nan Liujing, and he thought to himself, “Teacher, I’m sorry to disappoint you this time. I want to see if I can suppress him when I unleash the full power of the Mountain Dragon King bloodline, which I still cannot fully control.”

"In the two-on-two competition, the round of 32 is about to begin. Monster Academy's Hua Lantang and Ye Zhi will face off against Chuanling Academy's Yuan Enyehui and Na'er."

On the central competition stage, a referee at the Title Douluo level announced loudly.

"Wow."

In an instant, the audience erupted in an astonishing cheer.

Upon closer listening, it was clear that most people supported Hualantang and Ye Zhi.

Although the Spirit Transmission Academy is not discriminated against, it is still an outsider and occupies more seats than the students of the Star Luo Empire itself. Therefore, the audience still hopes that the two kings can create a miracle.

"Sister Yuanen, we've run into the Heavenly King!" Na'er said with a grin, linking her arm with Yuanen Yehui's.

Yuan Enhui's alluring face revealed a serious expression: "After so many days, I've finally met a worthy opponent."

In the earlier two-on-two match, she and Na'er didn't even use 30% of their strength.

Wolf King Hua Lantang. He has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary build; he's the kind of person who would easily blend into a crowd.

Tower King Ye Zhi is extremely beautiful, no less so than Dai Yun'er, and even more so because she is a few years older.

She was considered the most beautiful girl in Monster Academy.

They were the envy of many in Monster Academy.

"Both sides prepare."

The referee raised his hand, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, suddenly lowered it, announcing, "The match begins!"

"Om~"

The air trembled slightly, and Hua Lantang let out a low roar, charging out like a cannonball.

No matter what, as a superstar, he must defend his honor!

That's what His Majesty the Moon often said during his teachings.

Five spirit rings, four purple and one black, rose beneath him, and his whole body radiated a purple halo. His height, which was originally over 1.8 meters, suddenly increased to 2.5 meters. His head resembled a wolf, and his whole body was covered with oval-shaped purple scales, exuding a fierce and domineering aura.

Its arms and claws were like blades, gleaming with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

His martial soul is the Dragon Wolf, a special martial soul that combines the characteristics of a wolf and a dragon, comparable to a top-tier beast martial soul like the White Tiger, though it's the kind used by goalkeepers.

"Seven treasures transform into crystal, one of which is said..."

Behind them, Ye Zhi released her martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with a tacit understanding. Several beams of light flew out and landed on Hua Lantang.

In an instant, Hua Lantang's already astonishing aura surged once more, and his cultivation level of 54 was almost on par with that of a Soul Emperor.

"As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul."

Yuan Enhui spoke calmly, "Na'er."

"know."

Na'er smiled as she watched Hua Lantang rush towards her, and with a flick of her jade hand, the silver dragon spear appeared.

With a whoosh, a brilliant silver light rose up, and a huge silver dragon coiled around the gun, letting out a long roar towards Hua Lantang.

The Silver Dragon King's regal aura swept out like a storm.

Just as Hua Lantang was about to unleash the power of the dragon within him, his blood instantly cooled down, and his martial spirit couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

It's like a son seeing his old father approaching with a leather belt embroidered with seven wolves.

His pupils contracted, and before he could see clearly, the air in front of him was shattered as if a mirror had broken, and layers of air waves surged. He saw a huge ape stirring up the aura, and a fist as big as a mountain came down quickly.

"boom!!!"

Under the stunned gazes of countless spectators, Hua Lantang was sent flying backward, crashing miserably into the soul power shield at the edge of the arena. He seemed to be trapped inside, almost unable to get out.

"Blue Hall".

Ye Zhi was stunned, unable to believe that her lover had been sent flying by a single punch.

"Be careful."

Hua Lantang's face contorted in pain, as if his internal organs had shifted. Suddenly, he shouted at Ye Zhi.

A huge shadow blocked out the sunlight streaming through the dome.

Ye Zhi reacted extremely quickly. With a thought, pieces of battle armor flew out from her storage soul tool, about to cover her body.

But Yuan Enhui's speed was much faster than anyone had imagined.

With a sweeping grab from afar, the aura around Ye Zhi suddenly solidified, and the battle armor flying towards her froze in mid-air.

Ye Zhi's body trembled, her pupils contracted sharply, and what appeared before her eyes was Yuan En Ye Hui's huge fist and imposing figure.

A fierce aura swirled around them like a whirlwind, chilling them to the bone.

The fist was only ten centimeters away from Ye Zhi's head; once it landed, it would be enough to shatter her body. "You're eliminated," Yuan Enhui said calmly.

He immediately grabbed Ye Zhi and threw her at the referee.

call out.

A figure rushed over quickly; it was Na'er.

The spear thrust out, accompanied by a clear and melodious dragon's roar. The sharp spear intent transformed into a sky full of flowing light, piercing through space and arriving at all sides of Hua Lantang in an instant, squeezing inwards frantically.

Beneath the subtle ripples, the silent glint of gunfire poured forth like a galaxy.

A hint of gratitude flashed in Hua Lantang's eyes for Yuanen Yehui's mercy, but he dared not show the slightest disrespect to Na'er, the powerful enemy who had just suppressed his martial spirit.

He roared, and the first, third, and fourth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Dragon Wolf Flame Shadow Claw, Vajra Dragon Wolf, and Reverse Dragon Scale Armor—one offensive and two defensive soul skills.

A deep, dark purple energy erupted from within, and a huge phantom of a dragon and wolf roared to the sky. A thick, solid scale quickly covered its entire body, with a layer of golden light flowing inside, making it as indestructible as steel.

Faced with the spear light that had essentially blocked all his escape routes, he decisively swung his claws, the claw shadows striking the air, accompanied by scorching dragon flames that nearly distorted the air.

The next moment, the spear light, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, fell swiftly.

Upon contact, Hua Lantang's expression changed.

The air, already scorching hot from his dragon flames, became even hotter, yet instantly turned bitterly cold, a bizarre phenomenon.

Click!

In the blink of an eye, the countless claw shadows shattered like a mirror, and the blazing dragon flames instantly went silent as if they had encountered a stream of ice.

"wrong."

Hua Lantang secretly thought something was wrong.

Suddenly, the countless spear lights finally revealed their full power, under the astonished gazes of countless people.

Flames soared, ice surged, winds howled, shadows spread, and space was imprisoned. The five elements were hidden within the spear's light. When not erupting, everything was calm, but once they did, they formed an impenetrable prison of suppression.

Hua Lantang was horrified that he was unable to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to strengthen himself, and even felt a sense of rejection.

Even the fire-attribute elemental energy, which has the highest affinity, is like this.

"How could she be spatially isolated?"

Gu Yue's expression changed, and he blurted out.

Nan Liujing sat to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips.

On Devil's Island, Na'er underwent a super evolution.

"boom."

A series of elemental spear beams struck Hua Lantang.

The spear's edge pierced its indestructible scales, the blazing flames scorched its body, the icy currents seeped through the holes, freezing its bloodline, the gale tore its flesh and blood apart, and the darkness eroded its soul power.

"what!!!"

As the four elements attacked in succession, Hua Lantang suddenly let out a painful wail.

call out.

The referee arrived almost immediately.

Without him even lifting a finger, Na'er swept her spear, and all the elements receded like a tide.

Only Hua Lantang, whose appearance was so terrible, remained.

The body is covered in burns, frostbite, or cuts.

Na'er said calmly, "Don't worry, I went easy on him. With a healing-type Soul Master, he'll be bouncing around again tomorrow."

After inspecting Hua Lantang and confirming that Na'er had indeed shown leniency, the referee promptly announced the result of the match.

"Snapped."

Na'er smiled and high-fived Yuanen Yehui in celebration.

Amidst the audience's helpless applause, the two walked off the competition stage side by side.

On the podium, Enci became even more convinced that cultivating a good relationship with Nan Liujing was the right thing to do.

Fox King Su Mu has been defeated, and now Wolf King Hua Lantang and Tower King Ye Zhi have also been defeated.

Three out of the eight Heavenly Kings lost, which will definitely be a significant blow to Monster Academy's reputation.

However, the person who defeated the Monster Academy was a companion of the Imperial hero Nan Liujing. As a result, the people did not feel too much shame at being defeated by people from other countries, nor were they too angry.

Upon closer inspection, Dai Tianling did not actually have a dark expression; instead, she smiled and clapped along with the audience.

"They probably won't cut funding," Enci thought to herself.

In the rest area, Na'er said with a smile to Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo, "Sister Xinglan, Sister Wu, it's your turn now."

"rest assured."

Ye Xinglan's long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling sharpness.

Wu Siduo crossed her arms over her chest, highlighting her imposing figure, and her cool and beautiful face was filled with strong confidence.

soon.

The second match began immediately upon the referee's announcement.

"Please welcome Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er from Monster Academy, and Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo from Spirit Transmission Academy to the stage."

With long strides, the two women walked side by side toward the competition stage.

One is full of heroic spirit, the other is cold and beautiful.

On the other side, Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er, who had come from the VIP room, also entered the competition stage amidst cheers from the crowd.

Enci frowned.

Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er have special identities, so they absolutely cannot lose this competition.

"and many more."

Just as the referee was about to announce the start of the match, Dai Yun'er suddenly raised her hand to signal.

"Contestant Dai Yun'er, is there anything I can help you with?" The referee asked, giving the princess some face.

Dai Yun'er stared intently at Wu Siduo: "Your martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, so which city in Douluo Continent are you from?"

The audience looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

Wu Siduo glanced at her: "Douluo Continent, Star Luo City."

"Star Luo City?"

Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in gasps of astonishment, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, and countless eyes turned to look.

Dai Yun'er asked excitedly, "Who were your ancestors?"

Ye Xinglan couldn't help but look at Wu Siduo. The Star Luo royal family's inherited martial souls were the White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat.

Wu Siduo calmly said, "According to the family genealogy, I am a descendant of Brother Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, from ten thousand years ago, and Dai Yueheng."

"Wow."

A loud uproar erupted from the audience.

This... this Spirit Transmission student is a descendant of royalty?

On the platform, Dai Tianling, Enci, the Empress, and all the civil and military officials showed expressions of surprise.

"That was all a long time ago, let's not talk about it. Let's prepare for the competition." Wu Siduo had no sense of belonging to the royal family and spoke indifferently.

Dai Yun'er wanted to say something more, but Dai Yueyan stopped her: "Finish the competition first. You can say anything later."

Dai Yun'er pursed her lips: "Okay."
