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

Chapter 127 Second Round Opponent in the Preliminaries

night.

When Wu Zetian returned to the hotel, everyone was already asleep.

He sat quietly by the window, reviewing the day's match against Flanders.

"Do I still need to use surprise tactics to win against a Soul Saint?!"

The World Without Thieves knew very well that if he hadn't merged the two domains and created the Overlord Chasing Wind Fist derivative technique, Wanwo,
It seems we'll need to use the second soul skill, Titan's Wrath, granted by the 100,000-year soul ring, to secure victory.

Although this move is no longer just a desperate gamble with the help of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, it still consumes a huge amount of energy.

After all, that was the power of a 100,000-year-old soul ring.

"In the end, it was still too weak..."

The man clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

If even a Soul Saint is so difficult for him, how would he cope if he encountered a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo without his mecha true form?

"We must break through to the Soul Saint level as soon as possible and summon the true form of the Burst King in order to truly gain a foothold on the continent."

He flipped his hand and took out the inner cores of ten Fiery Sun Serpents and the reverse scales of the Burning Heaven Crimson Flame Dragon from the soul guide device, the scorching energy flowing in his palm.

The man with no thieves under the sky looked at the two items, a struggle flashing in his eyes.

He quickly took it back.

"No! The secret of my twin martial souls cannot be exposed yet."

Although Qian Daoliu and the others treated him well, one should always be wary of others.

If the refining is done here, Lion Douluo will surely notice.

After all, Tianxia Wuzei knew very well that Xiongshi Douluo was sent by the Qiandao School to protect him, but also to monitor him.

"Wait a little longer! Find a suitable opportunity to leave the surveillance during the qualifiers and then refine these two items."

With a determined look, Tianxia Wuzei closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.

However, while things seemed calm on his side, the entire Tiandou City was already in turmoil.

Tiandou Royal Academy.

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.

"What? You're saying Flander and Ma Hongjun are dead?! How is that possible?!"

Li Yusong listened to the news about the Tiandou soldiers with disbelief on his face.

The soldier nodded and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Li, His Majesty has already brought back the two bodies out of humanitarian considerations. If you don't believe me, you can confirm it for yourself."

After saying that, he left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy without lingering.

The exclamation startled everyone in the dormitory area.

Shao Xin, Dai Mubai, and other former Shrek Academy students were all awakened.

Shao Xin, heavily pregnant, was the first to rush out, wearing an outer robe.

"Old Li, no offense, but what are you yelling about in the middle of the night?!"

He saw Li Yusong's pale face, his complaints abruptly stopped, and his heart sank.

Dai Mubai rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over, puzzled.

The others came out quickly, all puzzled by Li Yusong's behavior.

“Dead! They’re all dead!” Li Yusong said woodenly.

Shao Xin sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Old Li, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean 'dead'?!"

"Flander and Ma Hongjun are dead! Just now, soldiers from the Heavenly Dou Empire informed me of their deaths!"

These words struck the minds of the original Shrek members like a bolt from the blue, causing their expressions to change drastically, as they had never expected such a situation.

Although the original Shrek cast didn't leave with Flander, they were actually worried about Oscar and Dai Mubai.

They planned to wait until Dai Mubai and Aus graduated from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy before leaving to reunite and find a quiet place to live out their remaining years.

Little did I know that this parting would be forever!

"Dean?!" Dai Mubai stumbled and almost fell, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Flander was not only one of his teachers, but also his powerful backer in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

If he leaves, he will have no support at all.

"Impossible!" Shao Xin suddenly roared, his round, plump body bursting with astonishing speed as he rushed towards the door. "I need to see him alive or dead! Otherwise, I won't believe it!"

Everyone seemed to wake from a dream and followed suit.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of a group of people were stretched very long.

On the other side, at Blue Tyrant Academy.

"What? Flander is dead!"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, good riddance!" His face was full of excitement as he slapped his knees hard, tears of laughter welling up in his eyes.

This behavior showed no regard for the camaraderie they once shared as a golden trio. The soldier who came to deliver the message frowned, inwardly grumbling.

"What's going on? Wasn't this good-for-nothing supposed to be one of the Golden Triangle along with the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy and Flander? Flander is dead, so why is he so happy?!"

Although I didn't understand it, I was deeply shocked.

However, he was only ordered to deliver a message, and left Blue Tyrant Academy immediately after delivering it.

A short while later, Liu Erlong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu arrived late, hearing Yu Xiaogang's laughter.

"Xiaogang, did something happy happen to you so late at night? You're laughing so happily!"

Liu Erlong tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked with a curious expression.

Tang San nodded in agreement, his face full of curiosity: "Indeed, this is the first time in the past six months that I've seen you so happy, Teacher!"

Yu Xiaogang quickly walked to Tang San's side and excitedly patted Tang San on the shoulder.

“Mistress, Flander is dead?!” His tone was filled with the feeling of revenge. “He caused us a lot of trouble last year, and now he’s finally getting his comeuppance.”

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, followed by a perfectly timed expression of surprise: "Really? That hypocrite Flander is finally dead?!"

However, compared to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's excitement, Liu Erlong felt a sense of shared sorrow.

After all, the three of them formed a golden trio, even though they separated due to differing philosophies.

But with such deep feelings, it's impossible to say that there were no emotions involved even after death.

"Boss Francis, how could he be dead?!"

Although Liu Erlong usually sided with Yu Xiaogang, she was also very saddened by Flander's death.

Upon hearing Liu Erlong's voice, Yu Xiaogang suppressed the joy on his face, but he couldn't help but smile.

He pretended to be the victim, acting pitiful.

“Erlong, don’t grieve for the death of that scoundrel Flander. He was the one who broke his promise first. If he hadn’t done so many bad things, this wouldn’t have happened. He’s not worth your grief.”

"But……"

Liu Erlong wanted to say something, but Yu Xiaogang boldly stepped forward and hugged her, interrupting her.

“Erlong, Flander is not someone you should be sad about! Don’t forget, he’s the one who made us, master and apprentice, beggars half a year ago.”

Feeling the gentleness around him and hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Liu Erlong was completely overwhelmed by love.

"Xiao Gang, you're right. You're the only one who matters. Flander deserved it; he died for a crime he committed!"

Xiao Wu found it somewhat laughable to see her godmother in this state.

However, she didn't know that in other people's eyes, her behavior was even more ridiculous than Liu Erlong's.

The following day, the villain team had no matches because the first round of qualifiers had already taken place.

Everyone was training at the hotel, waiting for their opponents in the second round of the qualifiers.

"Boss, who do you think our opponent will be in the second round?!" The traitorous minister couldn't contain himself and asked.

"No Thieves Under Heaven" rolled his eyes and gave him a disgruntled look.

"I'm not a fortune teller, how would I know our opponents in the second round? Besides, with our strength, which team in the Tiandou Division can pose a threat to us?"

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the hotel entrance.

The next moment, Salas walked in through the door with a beaming smile.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Holy Son!"

“Bishop Salas, you’re too kind.” Knowing the purpose of his visit, Wu Zetian said, “Tell me who our villainous team’s opponents are in the second round!”

"Reporting to the Holy Son, the villain team's opponent in the second round is Blue Tyrant Academy, which only has one Soul Master!"

"Hmph." Tianxia Wuzei narrowed his eyes and stared at Salas. "Another pushover? Bishop Salas, could this be your doing?"

"How could that be?" Salas said without batting an eye. "It's all the result of a draw; it's all luck!"

"No Thief Under Heaven" chuckled inwardly, knowing that this was a little trick he had pulled, but he didn't expose him.

“Bishop Salas is very kind.”

"Thank you, Holy Son!" Salas smiled upon hearing this. "I won't disturb your rest any longer. Farewell."

Tianxia Wuzei narrowed his eyes, thinking that he could use this opportunity to leave and cultivate his second martial soul.

Time flies, and the date for the second round of the qualifiers has arrived.

On the main arena of the Heavenly Battle Arena, the emcee's loud voice resounded throughout the entire arena.

"The first match of the second round of the qualifiers is between the Evil Thief Team and the Blue Tyrant Team. Let's welcome the contestants from both teams to the stage with applause!"

Before he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Thanks to Salas's arrangements, that kind of thing will not happen again.

When the lights shone on the entrance of the villainous team, everyone was shocked to see the first person to walk out!

"The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he's participating?!"
