Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 82 Preparing for the Finals
"Then we..." Xie Xie couldn't help but ask.

“Us?” Su Qiu turned around, her eyes shining brightly. “Of course we have to fight.”

“Su Qiu!” Wu Changkong frowned. “The opponent is a Soul King with a One-Word Battle Armor. This is not the time to be reckless.”

He worried that Su Qiu might be blinded by her previous victory and fail to see the absolute gap in their strength.

“Teacher, I am well aware of the gap between myself and the other person,” Su Qiu explained.

"But I can win."

Staring blankly at the young man in front of him, Wu Changkong knew Su Qiu very well and knew that the other party would not speak without reason.

But can the Soul Master defeat the Soul Saint?

Wu Changkong wavered at this moment. He must be crazy to believe that Su Qiu could actually win.

"What will you use to win?"

“I just have some concerns.” Su Qiu didn’t answer, but said in a serious tone, “Although I can win, I will have to pay a very high price.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone worriedly said, "Then forget it, it's really nothing, Brother Su Qiu, there's no need for that."

Gu Yue asked curiously, "What price?"

"Sigh." Su Qiu sighed, "The price is that I will become extremely famous."

Everyone: "Huh?"

Everyone lost their composure.

What is this?

The price of defeating a One-Word Armor Master is becoming extremely famous.

Isn't this a cause-and-effect relationship? How can it be considered a price?

Besides, aren't you already famous?
Xie Xie jumped up on the spot, pointing at Su Qiu and speechless for a long time: "What kind of price is this? I thought you were going to lose all your soul power or damage your martial soul!"

"Famous? You're practically being called the 'Young War God' in the Tianhai Alliance now, what's one more time?"

Xu Xiaoyan clutched her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and glared at Su Qiu with annoyance: "Brother Su Qiu! You scared us to death!"

"I really want to smash this soul-guided recorder in your face right now!"

Na'er threw herself into Su Qiu's arms and elbowed him in the chest: "Trying to scare me, huh?!"

"Well, just prepare well and keep a calm mindset during the competition." Su Qiu didn't say much. He was actually afraid that if he revealed too much, the Holy Spirit Cult would come knocking on his door to offer him help.

"Actually, winning or losing doesn't matter. The opponent has a one-word battle armor master. It's normal for us to lose, but we'd be rich if we won."

In a hotel on the other side, a few old Dengs were gathered together, bragging.

Among them, Zhenhua, who was involved with the most forces and had the best information, suddenly said: "Shrek Academy sent the elders of the Sea God Pavilion to the Tianhai Alliance. They are Yali and Cai Yue'er."

"No, who came up with the idea of ​​putting these two together?" Mu Chen asked in surprise.

Ya Li and Yun Ming are a couple.

However, everyone knows that Cai Yue'er's true intentions are obvious; who doesn't know that she likes Yun Ming?

Getting these two to work together is truly something else.

"Who knows?" Zhenhua shrugged.

"That's good." Makino said with relief, "Yali doesn't like fighting. It seems that Shrek's approach is a conciliatory strategy."

"The only one with a bad temper is Cai Yue'er, a complete idiot. With us here, Su Qiu will be fine."

"A appeasement strategy?" Zhenhua retorted, "They brought a Soul King to participate in the competition."

"Most of the Soul Kings at Shrek Academy are One-Word Battle Armor Masters."

"This is bullying! How dare they bully my disciple! I'll fight them to the death!"

The moment Zhenhua uttered the word "disciple," triggered by a sensitive word, Mu Chen reacted instantly and started fighting with Zhenhua.

Speechless, Makino turned to his side and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Aren't you worried about Su Qiu?

Su Wuyan was silent for a moment: "I don't know."

"I don't really want him to win."

"Oh?" Makino was slightly surprised: "You think Su Qiu can win?"

Su Wuyan's gaze drifted towards the distant arena outside the window, his tone calm yet tinged with complexity: "I started teaching Xiao Qiu before he even awakened his martial soul. No one knows his true strength better than me."

"He's just a Soul King-level One-Word Battle Armor Master. Whether he wins or not depends entirely on his own decision."

Do you have some hidden trump card?

Mu Ye seemed to understand, but not quite. He had only recently taken Su Qiu as his disciple and didn't know much about her yet.

"Then why don't you want him to win?" Mu Ye pressed, truly unable to understand Su Wuyan's thoughts.

Su Qiu is clearly the most dazzling genius of this generation. With their support, he can simply shine.

Su Wuyan sighed softly: "Too dazzling a light can easily attract a fire that burns you."

He turned to look at Muye, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. "What I'm worried about is the Holy Spirit Church."

"The Holy Spirit Cult?!" Makino sat up straight immediately, his expression more serious than ever before.

Zhenhua and Muchen stopped their playful fighting and looked over.

Glancing at the three people in front of him, all of whom were Su Qiu's backers, Su Wuyan decided to give them a heads-up and explained, "You all know how Su Qiu's parents passed away."

"It poses too great a threat to the Holy Spirit Cult."

"Actually, Su Qiu is the same."

"It seems that his martial spirit is unrelated to his parents, so the Holy Spirit Cult is too lazy to care."

"In reality, Su Qiu is the biggest threat to the Holy Spirit Cult. The true nature of his martial spirit has a far greater suppressive effect on evil spirit masters than his parents."

Mu Chen dropped his joking expression and leaned closer: "Su Qiu's Holy Sword and Holy Spear are powerful, but I haven't noticed any such effects."

“I don’t know the reason either.” Su Wuyan shook his head: “Everything else is fine. I took Su Qiu to kill evil spirit masters.”

"His martial spirit merely existed, yet it rendered evil spirit masters helpless, and they could not stop the death even with their best efforts."

Su Wuyan recalled the scenes of hunting down evil spirit masters with Su Qiu from time to time.

He merely swung his sword and spear, and those evil spirit masters died instantly upon contact; they were no match for him.

Thinking about this, Su Wuyan was actually a little confused. Su Qiu said that his martial soul was truly restrained by the enemy of the world.

How could an evil spirit master be an enemy of the world?

He slowly explained Su Qiu's situation to Makino and the other two.

Finally, Su Wuyan sighed, "It's alright if I'm only on the genius list."

"But if he wants to defeat a Soul Saint-level opponent, he will have to expose the true potential of his Martial Soul."

The three of them gasped.

Mu Ye's lips twitched. He had a vague understanding of the Holy Spirit Sect's strength, and if they were determined to assassinate Su Qiu, it seemed he couldn't protect him.

Looks like we need to call in more people.

The Body Sect has finally found such a promising talent; we can't afford to let anything happen to him.

The match was progressing rapidly.

The final round of the forging competition was also a foregone conclusion, with Su Qiu once again taking first place by a wide margin and winning the final championship.

He also finished forging the core material for his battle armor.

The team and individual competitions have also entered the final rounds.

In the individual competition, Su Qiu will face off against Gu Yue.

In the seven-person team competition, Donghai Academy will face off against Shrek Academy.

Each final match takes place on one day.

The first day was the individual finals.

A highly anticipated event.

Su Qiu walked into the arena, where the stands were packed with people, cheering wildly.

Gu Yue also has many supporters.

Good looks are everything, it's not that Su Qiu isn't handsome enough. It's just that pretty girls in pink offer better value for money.

　Sigh, without suppressing combat power, the protagonist is too awesome. I went to great lengths to unleash the Holy Sword.
