Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 182 The Finals (Part Two)

Tang San naturally noticed that Dai Mubai's emotions were off, but his feeling was different from Ma Hongjun's. Although Dai Mubai was very silent, Tang San could sense that he seemed to be holding back something.

Either erupt in silence, or perish in silence. Given Dai Mubai's personality, the former is undoubtedly the case. His inner fighting spirit seems to have reached its peak.

It wasn't just Dai Mubai who was upset; Zhu Zhuqing was too. However, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was different from Dai Mubai's; her usually cold eyes were now filled with resolute determination.

Dai Mubai did not answer Ma Hongjun's question, but Zhu Zhuqing stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Zhuqing, what are you doing?" The master frowned slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, "We must win this match. This is our only chance."

Oscar asked, "What exactly happened? Do you have enemies at the Star Luo Royal Academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "No. This is a struggle between families. Mu Bai and I are both from the Star Luo Empire, belonging to two major families. The relationship between our two families is extremely close, with a custom of intermarriage. In each family, only the most outstanding person can become the future heir. Neither Mu Bai nor I are the eldest sons of our families. My sister and Mu Bai's brother were betrothed since childhood, as were Mu Bai and I."

"The four of us are the most outstanding children in our respective families. Mu Bai and I came to the Heaven Dou Empire to improve our strength. This Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is an opportunity given to us by our families. Because we are not the eldest sons, our chances of inheriting the throne are much smaller. If we can defeat our older brothers and sisters, then we will be qualified to inherit the throne."

Tang San asked, "So, your older siblings are in the Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy team?"

Dai Mubai said, "Originally, I had planned to give up competing with my elder brother, but after entering Shrek Academy, I met Xiao Ao and Hong Jun, and later I met Zhu Qing, you and Rong Rong. Just when we were winning all the way in the Soto City Great Soul Arena, I suddenly realized that with such excellent teammates as you, Zhu Qing and I have a great chance to win. So I implore everyone to help me win this match."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled wryly, "Both of our families have extremely special rules. In order to make the future family heirs more outstanding, once the competing children are selected, they will be trained as enemies to each other."

The victors may inherit the family fortune, but the losers suffer a tragic fate. To prevent internal strife within the family, the losers are eliminated outright. Therefore, we are not only competing for power, but also for our lives.

At this point, Zhu Zhuqing became somewhat agitated. "Do you know why I've always been so cold to Mu Bai? It's because I've already decided that I'll definitely die when I'm twenty-five. Maybe not even until I'm twenty-five."

Mu Bai's older brother is six years older than him, and his intelligence and abilities are both top-notch. My older sister is also seven years older than me. Competing against them, we have almost no chance of winning.

Therefore, after arriving in the Heaven Dou Empire, Mu Bai chose to fall into depravity, indulging in women. With him like this, how can we possibly survive? I am furious at his lack of self-respect.

But what's coming will eventually come. Today is my last chance to change my destiny, and I will fight to the death. Mu Bai, stop thinking about running away. I hope you won't disappoint me today.

Dai Mubai clenched his fists. "Zhu Qing, for my own sake and for yours, I will no longer run away. Even if I die in this battle, I will never lose."

His eyes turned bloodshot, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Apart from Flander, no one expected that there was such immense pressure and background behind Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San said, "It's not just for you guys. Even if you didn't say anything, we would still do our best to win this match. After all, our goal is the championship."

After saying that, Tang San extended his right hand, stared into Dai Mubai's blood-red, evil eyes, and uttered two words: "Victory is certain."

Next, Oscar placed his right hand on Tang San's. Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Mi Luo followed suit. When Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's right hands also overlapped, the seven of them roared almost simultaneously, "Victory is certain!"

Mi Luo's martial soul is the Fiery Blade, and her soul power level is 35. She is the strongest in terms of individual strength among the four team members, Luo Ling, Mi Luo, Ouyang Yun, and Buku, so she was also selected as one of the team members for this competition.

The competition began quickly, and the participating teams took to the fighting arena one after another.

As soon as the seven main members of the Tian Dou Second Team stepped onto the stage, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo in the VIP seats focused their attention on the Second Team.

"This should be the entire main force of the second team, right?" Sword Douluo transmitted his voice to Ning Fengzhi.

"This soul power fluctuation indicates four Soul Kings, three of whom have a soul power level of no less than 55, and three of whom are Soul Masters. Their overall strength is even stronger than the Spirit Hall team." Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed, and then he said worriedly, "Uncle Jian, you need to pay more attention to Rongrong. So many monstrous geniuses have appeared in this year's Soul Master Competition finals. We mustn't let Rongrong get hurt."

Sword Douluo nodded and said, "I won't let anything happen to Rongrong."

On the Shrek battlefield.

Led by Dai Mubai, the seven members of Shrek Academy stood in a line on the competition stage, silently observing. Dai Mubai's eyes were more serious than ever before as he gazed intently ahead.

On the other side of the competition stage, another group of seven people slowly walked onto the stage. When Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing saw the two people walking at the front of the other group, their eyes flashed with dazzling light.

Davis said calmly, "Mu Bai, I didn't expect you to actually make it to the finals. Being able to challenge me face-to-face is already a success. But you should understand that doing this forces me to take action against you."

Dai Mubai clenched his fists. "Davis, stop pretending. When have you ever stopped attacking me? Today on the court, we are enemies. If you're so capable, defeat me first. Otherwise, who will inherit the family position is still uncertain."

Davis looked at Dai Mubai with some surprise. "Oh, our playboy has changed. Fine, I'll see what skills you've learned since you left home these past few years, daring to speak to our elder brother like that. No wonder Zhu Qing is with you too; it seems you're really prepared to fight us to the end?"

Davis's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes. He exchanged a glance with the girl beside him, and a cold glint flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Zhu Zhuyun said, "Zhuqing, if I remember correctly, you should be under fifteen years old. To participate in this competition at such a young age and make it into the top ten, I don't know whether to say you're lucky or strong. However, your journey ends here."

Actually, your father and mother miss you very much, but we can't go against the family traditions. After the competition, you should come back with me.

Zhu Zhuyun's voice is different from Zhu Zhuqing's. It lacks Zhu Zhuqing's coldness but possesses an alluring charm from the heart. Her soft and charming voice can easily draw people in unconsciously.

"Zhu Zhuyun, you don't need to put on this act. If I hadn't left home, I might already be dead at your hands. Missing me? Is there such a thing as kinship in our family?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice grew even colder.

Just then, a sudden burst of exclamations from the audience interrupted the Shrek group's conversation. Tang San, Dai Mubai, Davis, and the others were taken aback, and then followed the audience's gaze, quickly spotting the source of the exclamations.

On the adjacent Soul Battle Arena, Lin Yizhang, Dugu Yan, Zhang Fan, and Ye Lingling released their martial spirits and soul rings, and the black soul rings on the four of them drew gasps from the audience.

At this moment, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan... all eyes were focused on the second team.

Lin Yizhang's soul ring configuration of two yellow, one purple, and two black rings attracted the most attention.

The referee was the first to come to his senses.

The referees at each venue quickly took charge of the matches.

The referee approached Team Two and announced loudly, "The rules remain the same. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will advance to the top six. Team Two of Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy will face off against Team Black Panther Advanced Soul Master Academy. The match begins."

"Fourth Soul Skill - Azure Phosphorous Illusion Poison".
