Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"So direct?" Xu Cheng smiled.

“Now, a net has been laid out on the border of the Star Luo Imperial Capital, and almost all the titled Douluo have been mobilized. Even if you want to send out a message, you can’t do it. Moreover, the forces waiting for you are far more than just one wave. You are very strong among the younger generation, so strong that I look up to you, but you are still a bit naive when facing real strongmen…” Xu Jiujiu gently clenched her fair hand and turned her head away.

"So, in reality, tonight's events were your own decision, not at Xu Jiawei's behest? And the purpose... was to save me?" Xu Cheng sat in his chair, tapping lightly.

If Xu Jiawei were to marry into the family, the price might be that war would not be allowed for decades, bringing decades of peace to both countries. However, because of this, Xu Jiawei would not attack him after the competition ended.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart," Xu Jiujiu said in surprise.

"I'm actually quite touched," Xu Cheng said, clicking his tongue.

"But the thought that in your eyes I'm just a strong but dim-witted idiot is a bit hard to bear..."

"Isn't that right...?" Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly.

This is the capital of the Star Luo Empire!

It gathers countless powerful individuals.

Moreover, at that time, Xuanzi, the strongest student from Shrek Academy, will also be there to help.

Unless the Sun Moon Empire mobilizes its entire forces, she really couldn't think of any way for Xu Cheng to escape.

"Maybe." Xu Cheng shrugged.

"call……"

"However, I'm sorry, I don't like this kind of arranged marriage."

"..."

He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Without saying much, she slowly left, but before she left, she glanced at Xu Cheng with complicated eyes.

……

Time passes day by day.

Sixteen into eight.

Eight to four.

And...the final.

Xu Cheng stared at the woman opposite him, who wore a star crown and had an exquisitely beautiful face, for a long time.

With a soft sigh, she said, "Let's begin. I'll take this very seriously."

"This is your last chance..." Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

When the two captains stepped forward, their voices were so soft that it was difficult for others to hear them.

"If you're willing now, I..."

"Thank you."

The two were very close.

It was so close that even the audience could see something was amiss.

Xu Cheng interrupted the conversation and then walked away first.

In reality, regardless of the reason, whether it was Xu Jiawei's scheming or Xu Jiujiu's genuine feelings, it was already a honey trap...

Beautiful women are desirable, but ideals are more important.

Xingluo must be uprooted completely.

He was an evil spirit master and had killed many people.

But he wasn't so despicable as to take the girl's body, ravage her, and then turn around and attack Xingluo.

"..."

A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes after a long while.

Turn around.

He slowly walked up to the Star Luo team members, his aura suddenly changed, and his eyes gradually sharpened.

Reaching the finals and leading the Star Luo team, as captain, means being responsible for her teammates and the country behind her.

She admired Xu Cheng, and her admiration even contained a hint of girlish longing.

but……

She will do her best to win this match.

"Game start!"

Huang Jinxu's face darkened.

Anyone could see that something was wrong with their own princess.

But he also needs to put in a hundred more effort for this final match.

After all, it's normal for other teams to die; casualties are to be expected. But his own team needs to be protected. This Xu Cheng on the other side is just too strong...

……

“Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess…” Dai Hao said, frowning.

“It’s normal for young people to admire strong people. Once that kid is imprisoned, he’ll be like a tiger with its teeth pulled. After a while, we’ll see through his bluffing nature. Commander Dai, there’s no need to say more… How are the preparations going?” Xu Jiawei asked, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"A portion of the reserve forces has been mobilized to the front lines of the Mingdou Mountains. Meanwhile, the capital city has gathered almost all of Xingluo's current top experts, including seven elders, twenty-three Soul Douluos, and Elder Xuan, the strongest expert from Shrek Academy."

"No unusual activity from the Sun Moon Empire?" Xu Jiawei asked, frowning.

“Not a single thing, not even a riot…” Dai Hao was also somewhat puzzled.

"Is it possible that it's a combination of land and water?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"The possibility is extremely small. To enter the Star Dou region by sea and land, one would have to traverse an extremely vast ocean. The sea is not like the land; there are too many unknown dangers. Even with the Sun and Moon's soul tool technology... it would be very difficult."

Dai Hao shook his head.

"Okay." A glint of light flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes.

"Give the order to prepare to close the net."

"Yes!"

……

"Is everyone here?"

The Body Sect's Poison Undying has personally arrived and is currently on the top floor of the hotel counting the number of people.

"A total of twenty people, twelve titled Douluo, eight peak Soul Douluo..." an old man in black robes slowly spoke, then asked doubtfully, "Sect Master, is it really necessary to mobilize such a large force for that kid?"

"You're so rude! Call me Holy Son!" Poisonous Immortal glared at him.

The latter scratched his neck.

Even in front of the first generation of the Body Sect, Du Busi's prestige was enough.

"My comrades! Since it is our true form Martial Soul, then it is our family! Welcome back the Holy Son! May our sect prosper!" Poison Immortal shouted.

Only the old man in black beside him shook his head helplessly.

Although their Body Sect has always been known for its domineering ways, but...

Isn't Xu Cheng supposed to be the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult? He snatched someone else's Holy Son and made him his own...

Chapter 117 An Illusion Within an Illusion, Let Chaos Rise!

On the playing field.

A golden light shone from Princess Jiujiu's forehead; it was a rhombus-shaped golden gem.

The golden rhombus-shaped gemstone appeared and immediately burst forth with dazzling golden light. Then it detached from her forehead, slowly floated upwards, surrounded by golden light, and a magnificent crown appeared above her head. Then it slowly fell and landed on her head.

Noble, elegant—all adjectives seem inadequate to describe it.

Countless people widened their eyes.

Unexpectedly, this already stunningly beautiful princess had such a skill.

This crown appears to be composed of countless stars, all pale gold, starting with a rhombus-shaped gemstone and rapidly converging backward. There are a total of eighteen larger stars protruding upward on the crown, forming a beautiful circle of apex.

Star Crown, this is Xu Jiujiu's martial soul.

At the same time, five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared on the princess.

It was a Soul King-level expert.

The other six members of the team were also Soul Kings. The Star Luo National Academy had formed an all-Soul King team.

No wonder Xu Jiawei was confident that he could defeat Shrek Academy and win the championship. Even the Imperial Ao team, the Sun Moon Empire from the original work, would be in great danger if they encountered this lineup.

At the same time, the star crown on Xu Jiujiu's head shone brightly, the pale purple soul ring lit up, and a strong golden beam of light shot into the sky.

The interior of this golden pillar of light was entirely composed of golden mist, with specks of starlight swirling and rising within it, creating an extremely strange appearance. From its appearance alone, it was impossible to determine the function of this soul skill.

Countless people cheered; it was a moment of awe.
