Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 122 Villain Team vs. Royal Fighting Team 2
"Salas, have you wasted your life as the Hall Master of the Spirit Temple?"

Upon hearing this, the vast Heavenly Battle Arena fell into complete silence; even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.

Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a surprised glance, this was completely unexpected.

"What's going on?" Ning Fengzhi wondered to himself. "This was a scheme orchestrated by His Majesty and me, and Salas was unaware of it. With Tianxia Wuzei's discerning eye, it's impossible that he wouldn't have seen through it, but why would he take his anger out on Salas?"

He did this because Ning Rongrong couldn't provide him with satisfactory intelligence.

He felt he had lost both his wife and his army, and harbored resentment ever since.

Upon hearing that the "No Thieves Under Heaven" competition would begin with the preliminary rounds in the Tian Dou region, he joined forces with Emperor Xue Ye, saying they would give the Spirit Hall a taste of their power.

Ning Fengzhi knew very well that this was the Heavenly Dou Empire.

No matter what happens, he can absolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School of any responsibility.

So even if the thief sees through him, he has no legitimate reason to attack him, and can still remain a fence-sitter.

However, the reaction from "No Thieves Under Heaven" was beyond his expectations.

On the VIP platform, Emperor Xueye was dumbfounded.

Salas, who was called out, was even more confused, and his face turned ashen.

As the master of the Martial Soul Temple, he was humiliated in front of tens of thousands of people, yet he could only suppress his anger.

Because he was all too aware of the significance of the holy son before him.

Holding the Angel's Decree in hand and backed by the Temple of Worship, she was far superior to the likes of Hu Liena, who were merely nominal saints.

"Damn snowy night, damn Ning Fengzhi, he actually set me up! I was wondering why they would readily agree to let the Holy Son's Hall of Offering Team be the first team to enter, so this is what they were waiting for me to do!"

Salas stood up with a dark face, not daring to utter a single word to the thief-free world.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!" He bowed deeply, lowering his posture to the lowest possible level. "It was my negligence that allowed these lowly people to spoil your enjoyment. However, I assure you, such a thing will never happen again!"

His humble posture caused an uproar among the audience.

Especially Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, who knew Salas's temper well, never expected him to be so humble and subservient.

"How could this be?" Emperor Xueye narrowed his eyes. "For Salas to be so fearful, this Holy Son's power is truly unfathomable. If that's the case, why doesn't the Spirit Hall just directly send them to the finals?"

With such immense power, he believed that the Golden Generation was the team that should fight its way up from the qualifiers.

"It's thought-provoking that someone as powerful as Wuhun Hall has to participate in basic preliminary rounds. It seems the Spirit Hall isn't as harmonious as it appears on the surface!"

However, Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, saw through some things.

The students from the Blazing Fire Academy and the Heavenly Water Academy, who were following behind the Thief-Free World, were also shocked.

I can't understand why someone with such immense power would participate in the preliminary rounds.

Direct admission, isn't that great?!

As Salas spoke, his cold voice, though not loud, reached each person's ears precisely.

"You seem to have misunderstood. What do I care about other people's insults and ridicule? Those are just other people's opinions. Do you really think that mere mockery can make me angry?"

His cold gaze swept across the entire room, completely disregarding these people.

Finally, all eyes turned back to Salas.

"What truly enrages me is you, Platinum Bishop, who can even get my team name wrong. Is it unfair to say you've lived a life of utter worthlessness?"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

No one expected that the reason for this thief's anger was so simple.

The team name was misspelled.

Salas was speechless for a moment.

He originally thought that the "No Thief Under Heaven" incident was caused by Emperor Xueye's scheme, after all, he was only thirteen years old and hot-blooded.

Unexpectedly, it was because of him that he changed the name of the other team without permission, which made them unhappy.

However, just thinking about that name made Salas's lips twitch.

"Your Highness, that name..." He looked troubled and hesitated, "Wouldn't it be beneath your dignity?"

"Change it back." "I'll take full responsibility for all the consequences."

He gave Salas a meaningful look, subtly conveying a message.

Although Ning Fengzhi keenly noticed this detail, he couldn't fathom its meaning.

Salas was taken aback at first, then nodded repeatedly. "Yes." Salas breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.

On the roster in the master of ceremonies' hand, the five characters "Offering Hall Team" gradually distorted and eventually turned into the four characters "Evil Thief Team".

Seeing this, the emcee quickly announced loudly, "The Hall of Offerings Team is officially renamed the Villain Team! What a wild and explosive name!"

He tactfully skipped the applause segment and quickly pointed to the second team, "Next, let's give a round of applause to the second participating team to enter, Blazing Academy!"

As the team left, Wu Zetian and Salas exchanged a knowing glance.

The latter nodded solemnly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

Soon, all the participating teams entered the venue.

Next came the speeches from Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, which were mostly empty words and petty tricks to win people over.

After Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the master of ceremonies smiled and addressed Salas.

"Next, please welcome Lord Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City, to draw lots for the first round of the preliminary rounds. After the draw, the vice-team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy will play against their opponents drawn in the first round. This will also be the only match today!"

Upon hearing this, Tianxia Wuzei's lips curled into a wicked smile.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

Ning Fengzhi, upon returning to his seat, saw the wicked smile on Tianxia Wuzei's lips and noticed Salas passing by, instantly understanding what was happening.

"Oh no! They're cheating!"

Although they are vice-captains of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they are still a symbol of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although they are quite strong, they are definitely no match for the villain team.

A thief in the world is never one to suffer in silence.

Although being ridiculed is nothing to him, it doesn't mean he won't retaliate.

Don't you, Emperor Xueye, like to put on a show of power?
Then I'll give you one back, so you can have a taste too!
At this moment, Wu Zetian glanced meaningfully at Ning Fengzhi, who sat back down in his seat with a gloomy face.

Salas had already started drawing lots, and he was in high spirits, reading out the names on the lots himself.

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Blazing Fire Academy will face Purple Star Academy."

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Blue Tyrant Team will face Flame Glorious Academy."

"..."

When Salas drew the vice-captain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, a smile appeared on his lips.

As I picked up the next fortune slip, a flash of light appeared on it.

"First round of the qualifiers: Heavenly Dou Royal Academy versus the Evil Thief Team!"

The vice-captain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy almost fainted when he heard that his opponent was the Evil Thief Team.

Ma Hongjun, one of the contestants, was terrified and turned pale.

Because within the Royal Fighting Team 2, no one understood the terror of the Villainous Squad better than him.

The other contestants also looked somewhat strange.

Although several rounds have already been drawn, isn't it too much of a coincidence that the villain team is facing off against the vice-captain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?

After the draw, Salas calmly surveyed the entire room.

"I swear on my integrity that the lottery was absolutely genuine."

Upon hearing this, the audience nodded, agreeing that there was nothing wrong with the lottery.

After all, Salas swore an oath with his own integrity, which meant he swore an oath with his own dignity!
However, those who understand Salas's character will not believe his plans.

dignity?

How much is it per pound?

Emperor Xueye also came to his senses at this moment and realized that Tianxia Wuzei and Salas were taking revenge on him.

However, Salas had already drawn the lots and swore on his honor that he had silenced everyone.

The emcee, completely unaware of the situation, excitedly made the announcement.

"I hereby declare that the first and only match of the day, between the Evil Thieves Team and the Vice Team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, shall now begin!"
