Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

Xu Sanshi laughed heartily as his second spirit ring lit up simultaneously.

The water curtain on the tortoise shell shield instantly expanded, forming a huge blue water sphere that completely enveloped him.

The lightning struck the water sphere, making a hissing sound. Most of it was conducted underground by the water, and only a few bolts penetrated the water curtain and hit Xu Sanshi. However, they were blocked by his tough skin and soul power, leaving not a trace.

Xu Sanshi, carrying a water balloon, approached Beibei step by step, his steps as steady as a mountain.

The Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul is one of the top defensive Martial Souls on the continent, and almost no one of the same level can break through its defense head-on.

In previous duels, Xu Sanshi relied on this impenetrable defense to slowly deplete Bei Bei's soul power, and then launched a counterattack when Bei Bei's soul power was exhausted. His win rate was always more than 50/50.

But today, the situation is completely different from before.

Instead of engaging in a drawn-out struggle with Xu Sanshi as usual, Bei Bei darted around and began to move rapidly around him.

His steps were light and agile, like a cheetah hunting in the jungle, constantly changing positions. Blue-purple lightning occasionally shot out from his fingertips, striking various parts of the tortoise shell shield with precision.

At first, Xu Sanshi didn't take it seriously, easily blocking all the attacks by rotating the tortoise shell shield.

But not long after, his expression gradually changed.

Today, Beibei's attacks were frighteningly precise.

Every bolt of lightning struck precisely the weakest point in the tortoise shell shield's defenses.

Although it didn't cause any real damage, it forced him to constantly adjust the angle of the shield, causing his soul power to be consumed twice as fast as usual.

What alarmed him even more was that no matter how he rotated the tortoise shell shield, Bebe could always anticipate his movements and launch an attack before he could adjust his defense.

Gradually, Xu Sanshi shifted from an offensive stance to a defensive one, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He felt as if he were fighting an omniscient and omnipotent opponent, whose every thought and action was clearly seen through by the opponent.

Beibei, on the other hand, got better and better at the game, which he himself found a bit strange.

He was in exceptionally good form today, as if he had a clear map in his mind.

Every flaw in Xu Sanshi's defense, every gap in his movements, was clearly presented before his eyes.

He doesn't need to think; his body will instinctively make the most correct response.

Xu Sanshi was anxious. Although he didn't know what had happened, the situation was unfavorable to him.

If this continues, his soul power will eventually be exhausted by Beibei.

He took a deep breath, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and his soul power surged wildly within him, causing his third soul ring to suddenly light up.

However, just as his soul power was about to erupt and the shockwave was about to burst out of the tortoise shell shield, Xu Sanshi suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in his spiritual world, as if an invisible needle had gently pricked his sea of ​​consciousness.

It was just this insignificant moment.

His movements involuntarily slowed down by half a beat, and the name of the soul skill that was already on his throat was swallowed back down, causing a momentary disturbance in the surging soul power within his body.

That half-beat might seem insignificant in ordinary times. But in a duel between masters, that half-beat can be the difference between life and death.

Beibei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had expected all of this.

Without the slightest hesitation, he transformed into a streak of blue lightning, instantly circling to Xu Sanshi's left side.

That's the gap where the tortoise shell shield connects to the shoulder armor, and it's also the weakest point in the entire defense of the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul.

He had fought Xu Sanshi countless times before, but he had never been able to find this weakness in such a short time, let alone seize this fleeting opportunity.

But today, he did it.

Bei Bei unleashed his first soul skill once again. This time, the attack, which concentrated seventy percent of his soul power, passed through the gap, which was less than a finger's width, without any hindrance and slammed hard into Xu Sanshi's shoulder.

"Ugh!"

Xu Sanshi let out a muffled groan, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena, leaving a long trail on the ground.

The tortoise shell shield on his left arm vanished instantly, his martial spirit automatically dissipated, and he lay on the ground, pale-faced, clutching his shoulder, unable to get up for a long time.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that this intense duel, which was originally expected to last at least half an hour, would end in such a sudden, even inexplicable, way.

It took the referee a full three seconds to react. He quickly raised his right hand and loudly announced, "Beibei wins!"

The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, but many people wore expressions of deep confusion.

That scene happened so fast that they didn't even see what happened. They only saw Bei Bei circle around behind Xu Sanshi, and then Xu Sanshi flew away.

Xu Sanshi struggled to get up from the ground and moved his shoulder. Fortunately, it was just a superficial injury and no bone was broken.

But his face was filled with bewilderment and disbelief. He looked at Beibei, his eyes filled with incomprehension: "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible! Beibei, how could you have found that place? And, just now... How could I have been a beat slow just now?"

Beibei walked up to Xu Sanshi, but he himself was also confused; the feeling just now was too strange.

It was as if someone had opened a God's-eye view in his mind, telling him where to go and where to attack.

"I don't know either,"

Beibei shook her head and said truthfully, "Maybe I was just lucky today."

"Good luck?"

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened, his face speechless: "I've fought you so many times, when have you ever felt like this? Before, when you tried to find this weakness in me, it would take you at least twenty minutes of fighting, and you still might not succeed! Today, you defeated me in one move."

He grabbed his hair, squatted on the ground, and kept muttering "impossible," looking extremely depressed.

Inside the VIP room, Lin Ye's lips curled into a playful smile.

With Lin Ye's current cultivation level, this match between the two was full of flaws.

The timing, intensity, and technique of releasing their soul skills were completely devoid of any so-called "genius" skills. In Lin Ye's opinion, the two of them were simply too poor.

However, this was not Lin Ye's main focus; his focus was on Huo Yuhao below the Soul Arena.

Chapter 123 Can the protagonist's cheating really be called cheating?

[Alas, Huo Yuhao still made his move. His Purple Demon Eye precisely interfered with Xu Sanshi's mental sea, making him a step behind at the most crucial moment.]

Furthermore, with the mental detection shared with Beibei, it was like having a full-map perspective cheat.

Xu Sanshi was so frustrated by his defeat that he probably wouldn't understand how he lost for the rest of his life.

Anyone would be stunned if they were tricked like that.

Xu Sanshi would never know until his death that he had not lost to Bei Bei, but to a support-type Soul Master who hadn't even stepped onto the arena.

Huo Yuhao was really going all out for the Xuan Shui Dan.

But understanding is one thing, cheating is still cheating.

Beibei clearly had a high probability of winning the game fairly, but she insisted on using such underhanded methods.

If Beibei knew that she won in this way, she'd probably turn green with envy.

However, he's still completely unaware of what's going on, probably wondering why he's had such good luck today.

Tang Ya probably didn't tell Bei Bei that Huo Yuhao was cheating, otherwise Bei Bei wouldn't have reacted this way.

Interesting, very interesting.

The moment Lin Ye finished writing, the female characters in every corner simultaneously saw this diary in their own minds.

Inside a VIP room, Ma Xiaotao shook her head after reading the diary.

"You good-for-nothing."

Ma Xiaotao curled her lip and said with a disdainful look, "The Xuan Shui Dan is indeed a good thing, but can't we just fight for it openly and honestly?"

Originally, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were evenly matched, but then Huo Yuhao used a dirty trick of mental interference, so even if they won, it wouldn't be honorable.

"However, to be fair, Huo Yuhao's mental power is indeed something else; he was able to deceive so many people."

It's a pity he doesn't use his talents for good; he's always busy with these crooked and shady dealings.

When Zhang Lexuan saw the contents of the diary, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"The methods used were indeed dishonorable and violated the most basic principle of fairness in the battle."

Zhang Lexuan said softly, "However, from Huo Yuhao's perspective, he has no other choice. His talent is too poor. If he had the help of a Xuan Shui Pill, it would undoubtedly greatly increase his cultivation speed."

She paused, then continued, "However, understanding does not mean acceptance. Fairness is the soul of competition. If even the most basic fairness is gone, then the spirit of competition loses its original meaning."

……

The audience, who had been eagerly anticipating a fierce battle, froze in place, their cheering signs still in their hands, their shouts stuck in their throats, leaving only a chorus of doubts throughout the arena.

"It's over? It's over already?"

"I just blinked, how did Xu Sanshi fly away? When did Bei Bei become so strong?"

"That's not right. Just two minutes ago, they were evenly matched, using their strongest soul skills. How did it suddenly become one-sided?"

The murmurs spread like a tide across the stands, and the younger students looked bewildered, asking each other what had just happened.

Several senior students frowned and whispered among themselves. They could tell that Bei Bei's last blow was indeed quite powerful, but it was definitely not enough to defeat Xu Sanshi, who was in good condition, in one move.

Especially Xu Sanshi's expression when he landed, completely oblivious to what was happening, looked incredibly strange.

Some say Xu Sanshi may have made a mistake due to excessive consumption of his soul power, while others say Bei Bei was hiding her strength; opinions vary.
