Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

Chapter 136 One-on-One Challenge Against the Plant Academy

Papal Palace, square.

It was now around 2 p.m.

All the teams participating in the elite competition have now gathered here.

Bibi Dong stood on the high platform, looking down at her subjects like an empress. She wore a gentle smile, giving people a sense of sacredness and untouchability.

"Welcome to Wuhun City. I am Pope Bibi Dong, and I extend my warmest welcome to you all."

"Today, we will determine the first winners in this square. Representatives from each team, please come before the referee to draw lots."

"We will determine the opponents and matches based on the draw numbers."

"We can start now."

As she finished speaking, the thirty-one captains walked straight to the referee in the center of the square and drew their numbers from his hand one by one.

Among them, Hu Liena drew number three, Shrek Academy drew number twelve, Heaven Dou Royal Academy drew number fourteen, and Star Luo Empire Academy drew number two...

There are four arenas in the square, where matches can be held simultaneously without disturbing each other.

"Alright, now please welcome teams number one through four to the stage for the match."

"The rest of the teams, please wait in the preparation area."

After all the teams had drawn their number plates, the four referees arranged by the Spirit Hall came down to the field at the same time and began to organize the competition.

"Then I'll go down first. You all can rest."

Gu Yi casually waved to Hu Liena and the others, then quickly walked to the third arena.

Standing opposite him was the Plant Academy team from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Huh? Captain, why did the Spirit Hall Academy only send one person to the competition?"

"Are they looking down on us?"

One of the students from the botanical academy noticed something amiss and looked at his captain with a puzzled expression.

"Ok?"

"Don't be careless. We are facing the Spirit Hall Academy. We just need to do our own thing and not worry about the rest."

The captain didn't care what Gu Yi and the others thought; she only wanted to win for the academy.

If the Spirit Hall Academy is overconfident and only sends one person, that would be best, as they could easily win the first match!

"Okay, I understand, Captain."

Upon hearing their captain's words, the Plant Academy team immediately abandoned their careless thoughts and responded.

However, almost everyone from the teams outside the arena noticed the unusual behavior on Gu Yi's side.

"The Spirit Hall only sent one person to the competition? Isn't that incredibly overconfident?"

"Hmph! Pride comes before a fall! Even if he is the Soul King from the Golden Generation, he absolutely cannot win alone!"

"I really can't understand what those people in the Spirit Hall are thinking. Have they just given up?"

"Let's wait and see. Maybe this kid can surprise us. Besides, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"..."

Almost no one believed that Gu Yi could win in a one-man battle, and jeers and laughter came from all around.

But only the people from Shrek Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Skywater Academy knew that Gu Yi alone was more than enough to deal with them.

"Both sides are in position. You have one minute to release your Martial Souls. Please prepare!"

With the referee

As the sound rang out, the members of the Plant Academy simultaneously released their Martial Souls. Among them, only two were Soul Masters, while the rest were all Soul Venerables.

Just like in the original work, they are all control-type Soul Masters.

"Huh? Why hasn't he summoned his martial soul yet?"

"I don't know? Is he planning to fight us without using his martial spirit?"

"Don't speak, don't be careless. There are only ten seconds left. If he doesn't summon his martial soul by then, we'll attack him immediately."

Gu Yi stood quietly in place, without even summoning his martial spirit. This action instantly made 90% of the people present think he was a fool.

This even included Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, who, although aware of Gu Yi's strength, could not understand his thoughts.

One against seven? You're a Soul Saint, so this is nothing.

But you took on seven opponents single-handedly, without even using your martial spirit. What does that mean?

"Hmph! What an idiot. I'd like to see just how much of a disgrace you, Gu Yi."

On the preparation platform, Ning Rongrong looked at Gu Yi with a mocking expression, as if she were looking at an idiot.

At this moment, most of the people in the room were looking at Gu Yi in the same way.

"This……"

Seeing that Gu Yi still hadn't summoned his martial soul, the referee became a little anxious. He quickly ran to Gu Yi's side and reminded him, "Gu Yi, you haven't summoned your martial soul yet."

"Hmm? That's alright, I won't use my martial spirit. When the time is up, you can announce the start."

Gu Yi chuckled.

"Huh? Not summoning your martial soul? You..."

"Hey, okay."

Seeing that Gu Yi had said so, the referee had no choice but to run back and loudly announce, "The match begins!"

"Head Soul Bone Skill: Fallen Soul!"

"Left Leg Soul Bone Skill: Earthquake Tremor!"

The moment the referee finished speaking, Gu Yi simultaneously unleashed two Soul Bone skills.

He first took direct control of the plant team's captain, then stomped his left leg hard on the ground.

The next moment, four stone walls surrounded all the members of the plant team.

"Hmph! You think this thing can trap us?"

"Third Soul Skill, Petal Frenzy... Huh? Captain, what are you doing!"

Just as the team members were about to use their soul skills to break through the stone wall, their captain preemptively struck first.

"Third Soul Skill, City of Thorns!"

A large number of Crimson Flame Thorns erupted from the ground, binding every member of the plant team to their spot, including the team leader himself.

Her eyes were lifeless, and her pupils were flashing with a pale purple light; she had clearly lost her mind.

"Captain! Let us go! What are you doing?!"

"Oh no! The captain seems to have been mentally controlled! We need to break free! Quickly!"

One of the team members seemed to notice the captain's unusual behavior and quickly alerted the others.

But it was too late. The stone wall beside them slowly disappeared, and Gu Yi reappeared in front of them.

"Right Leg Soul Bone Skill, Divine Dragon Tail Swing!"

The next moment, a huge phantom of a Triceratops suddenly appeared on the arena. It roared to the sky and then charged towards the plant team.

Its speed was incredibly fast, and the plant team was still unable to break free from the shackles of the Crimson Thorns, so they could only watch helplessly as the Triceratops suddenly knocked them all away.

"This..." The referee was completely stunned. He hadn't even realized that the match was over.

"You can announce the results now."

Seeing that the referee was still in a daze, Gu Yi smiled and reminded him.

"okay!"

"I hereby declare the Spirit Hall Academy the victor in Arena Number Two!"

The referee's face was filled with excitement and joy, as if he had won the battle.

Having been a referee for so long, this was truly the first time he had ever seen a match where one person defeated seven others without even using their martial spirit. It was simply unbelievable!

Chapter 137 Bibi Dong's solicitation

"Soul bones! This kid has three soul bones!"

"Holy crap! Three soul bones, and that combination of soul skills—no wonder he dared not use his martial soul!"

"Is this the Spirit Hall? This is absolutely insane!"

"It's incredibly difficult for us to even get a single soul bone, and this kid actually has three!"

"Is the Spirit Hall Academy still accepting students? I suddenly want to join the Spirit Hall Academy too!"

"..."

In an instant, the entire preparation area erupted in excitement. No one had expected that Gu Yi would actually possess three soul bones.

You should know that even just one piece is incredibly precious to them!

"Where did Gu Yi get so many soul bones?"

At Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded. She had never known that Gu Yi possessed so many soul bones.

You should know that even she, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, doesn't have a single soul bone in her body right now.

"Xiao San, you must remember to be wary of Gu Yi's soul bone skills. His head soul bone seems to be of the mind control type, so you must be careful!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was extremely grim at this moment, and he solemnly instructed Tang San.

"Don't worry, teacher, I understand."

Tang San nodded and responded.

But in reality, he had no idea what was going on; he couldn't even figure out how the captain had been controlled.

'Gu Yi! '
