Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 184 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

"Oh? You've got some skill, not too bad. This match won't be too boring!"

In the lounge of the Monster Academy in the Star Luo Empire, the bald-headed Long Yue watched what was happening on the screen and burst into laughter.

The Monster Academy is modeled after Shrek Academy, and all the students who can enter it are naturally "monsters" from the Star Luo Continent.

Long Yue was the pinnacle among these people, possessing extremely terrifying strength. It was even difficult to find peers of similar strength in the Monster Academy. So when he heard that people from other continents were coming to participate in the competition, he was overjoyed.

However, compared to the excited Long Yue, Dai Yueyan on the other side remained expressionless, staring intently at the person on the screen with wide eyes, as if intending to etch her image into his own.

"Speaking of my arrival, I don't seem to see Sister Yun'er. Has something happened?"

After watching the match, Long Yue looked at Dai Yueyan beside him and asked her in a low voice.

Logically speaking, Monster Academy should have eight Heavenly Kings, but only seven people have come. One person has been missing since the beginning, and that is Princess Dai Yun'er of the Star Luo Empire.

In response to Long Yue's question, Dai Yueyan narrowed his eyes and then replied with some helplessness, "Yun'er is not feeling well and cannot engage in strenuous combat, so she did not participate in the competition."

Dai Yueyan remained unchanged. His facial expression and tone of voice were exactly the same as before. However, if the two senior executives of Douluo Peace Company heard him, they would definitely scoff at him.

According to Dai Yun'er, Dai Yueyan obviously knew about this matter, but now he lied to Long Yue... There are many suspicious points here, but it has nothing to do with Douluo Peace Company.

"I see. I'll go see her after the competition. I hope she won't be angry then."

However, before the two could talk for long, Dai Yueyan stood up from his seat and walked straight towards the arena.

Although it was a competition, the speed was extremely fast. The time it took for Xing and Li Chun to fight was less than ten minutes.

The following matches were hardly worth watching, since the well-known academies didn't even get to face each other.

Whether it was Shrek Academy, Monster Academy, or Douluo Peace Academy, they only encountered opponents of relatively low strength. They could easily defeat their opponents with just a little skill, without even taking the competition seriously.

So the first day was mostly dominated, which was great for the audience, but the game went by so fast that it was less fun.

Conversely, this also shows that those with weaker abilities are being eliminated at an extremely fast pace, and it's believed that before long, they will be able to truly witness intense competition.

Just as the match was coming to a close, Dai Tianling, the Emperor of Xingluo, looked to his side and asked with a smile, "What did you two think of today's match?"

To be treated with such care by the ruler of a nation, the people here must have an exceptionally special status. And those who fit this description are none other than the two high-ranking executives of the Douluo Peace Company, Toppa and Sand Gold.

"The Star Luo Empire is a place where hidden talents abound!" Sand Gold smiled slightly as he recalled the scenes from the previous competition.

"Haha, you flatter me. But on behalf of everyone in the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianling thanks you both!"

Upon hearing the praise from the sand gold, Dai Tianling burst into laughter, seemingly quite pleased with the compliment, especially since it came from a behemoth like Douluo Peace Company, which carried a different weight.

However, when asked about Dai Tianling's words, Shajin and Tuopa just smiled at each other and didn't say anything on the surface, but what they were thinking was quite different!

The phrase "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" certainly suggests that the Star Luo Empire possesses hidden powerhouses and exceptional potential in the next generation. However, this saying also has another interpretation…

Tigers aren't necessarily righteous, and dragons aren't necessarily benevolent. Otherwise, why would the world have terms like "evil tiger" and "wicked dragon"? This might not be a big deal in the wilderness, but this is the Star Luo Empire!

If a country has only one of these evil tigers, it can still be dealt with. But if both evil tigers and dragons coexist, then the empire is not far from destruction.

"That's all for today, gentlemen. I must take my leave now. After all, there are still many matters to attend to in the palace, and I'm simply too busy!"

Dai Tianling sighed twice, then got up and walked into the passageway to the side, where a beautiful woman was waiting for him.

Toppa and Sand Gold sensed the aura emanating from Dai Tianling, and their expressions gradually changed.

"Just as we suspected, the Star Luo Empire has also been attacked by the Abyss, and has been corrupted to this extent..."

"Even ordinary abyssal creatures couldn't achieve this level. He must be one of the 108 Emperors, or even one of the top ten!"

On the very day they arrived at the Star Luo Continent, the powerful individuals sensed something unusual. Although the spatial barriers here were not weak, there was a peculiar sense of disharmony about them.

It wasn't until the Black Tower spoke that the group truly understood what was going on... The power supporting the spatial barrier here was not dimensional power, but the abyss!

In other words, the Star Luo Empire has now become the closest place to the abyss. As long as someone opens a gate to the abyss plane here, those abyssal creatures can continuously enter this world, making this world a place of devastation!

Of course, as members of the Douluo Peace Company and loyal followers of Amber King, the two have always upheld the way of preservation.

Since your Star Luo Empire is in trouble, our Douluo Peace Company will definitely help you; there is no doubt about that.

However, our help isn't free...

The original Interstellar Peace Company was exactly what the current Douluo Peace Company is like. This is both a tribute to the original work and a manifestation of Yao Lan's will.

After all, in his mind, this is how Douluo Peace Company should be!

"However, on the other hand, the Star Luo Empire still has too few top-tier combatants. We need to be prepared and preserve some hope for them..."

"Of course, the previous 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' wasn't just for show. I also have a very suitable candidate here." Sand Gold put on his hat, left his seat, and walked towards the hotel.

"If it were her, after going through all of this, she would probably gain the power of 'Hunting,' right?"

"Becoming a hero of the Star Luo Empire will be no problem at all."
