Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Well done!"

Time has given us a thumbs up.

Lingjian, hands on her hips, said smugly and confidently, "How could a mere Great Soul Master possibly defeat me? Victory will be within my grasp with just a slight move!"

"Hmm, your first soul skill is indeed outrageous; it's actually a control skill."

Shi Guang asked with some curiosity, "Normally, the first three spirit rings of a power-attack type martial soul are enhancement-type spirit skills or ranged attack spirit skills. Did you configure this yourself?"

"Wrong! It's the Wind Sword Sect's standardized Soul Ring configuration!"

Ling Jian said proudly, "Our family has its own raised soul beasts! This is our foundation."

"As expected of the Wind Sword Sect, one of the four lower sects, its foundation is boundless and its strength is unfathomable."

Time nodded and said.

Tang San picked up Xiao Wu and checked her over. He found that she was only unconscious and had no serious injuries. He solemnly said to the spirit sword, "Thank you. If you hadn't caught her, she probably would have been injured."

"No need to thank me. I have no grudge against her, so why would I want to kill her?" Lingjian said.

Tang San nodded, gave Shi Guang a deep look, and walked towards the entrance where he had made his appearance.

Watching Tang San's departing figure, the Spirit Sword said to Time, "Hey! Dream God! He seems to have remembered you!"

"It doesn't matter. It's inevitable that some people will hold grudges on the path of a Soul Master. Stumbling and falling is normal."

Time put away Bai Meng, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel that my current close combat ability is not enough to fight against Tang San.

Whether it's combat experience or intuition about controlling distance and range, Tang San is much better than me.

Then there's the difficulty of his martial arts. His Purple Demon Eyes made him appear full of flaws, his Mysterious Jade Hands were comparable to defensive soul skills, and his Ghost Shadow Tracking made it impossible for me to predict his attack route, not to mention the control-type Crane Control and Dragon Capture.

With the aid of Blue Silver Grass and the formidable power of hidden weapons, Tang San, even as a control-type Soul Master, is no less capable in direct combat than a power-attack type.

Especially when Tang San was enraged by Xiao Wu's injury, he not only didn't lose his composure, but his anger allowed him to unleash his full power.

The reason I was able to hold my own against him for so long was because I had a deep understanding of Tang San, and the week of last-minute training had helped me improve my combat skills.

"I need to improve my close-combat skills when I get back. The reason I was able to hold my own against Tang San was entirely because of my understanding of him."

Shi Guang frowned and thought, "My methods are still too limited. I can only rely on my martial spirit and Bai Meng to fight."

As for using mental energy, it consumes too much of my mental strength; I can't withstand it after releasing it a few times.

I need to improve my combat skills to prevent Bai Meng from being taken away by control-type soul skills.

After pondering for a while, he and Lingjian returned backstage amidst the cheers of the audience.

After briefly recovering their soul power and physical strength, they signed up for several more doubles competitions.

After the three-five combination, the subsequent opponents were not very strong, and Time and Spirit Sword easily took them down.

After several battles, they not only achieved their targets, but their fame also soared among the audience as they fought continuously, with the audience cheering them on.

The name "Divine Sword" has become widely known and celebrated in the Soul Arena.

After achieving their targets, Shi Guang and his companion went to the finance office to collect their prize money from the competitions.

As he left the finance office, Shi Guang glanced at the giant clock in the arena; it was already afternoon.

"I'm exhausted! I need to take a good shower and relax when I get back to the hotel!"

Lingjian stretched and said wearily.

"Did you rent a hotel room here?"

Shi Guang asked with some surprise.

"That's right! Where else am I supposed to stay?" Ling Jian said matter-of-factly, "My family made me famous in the Soul Arena, so I have no choice but to stay here for the time being. Is there a problem?"

"No, it was just a bit of a surprise."

Time shrugs.

Unexpectedly, this young lady from a prominent family was willing to condescend to stay in a hotel in a small, run-down city.

"What's so surprising? I don't have that much money to stay in a five-star hotel further away. Taking a taxi would be too expensive, and I can't afford the rent."

Lingjian said, "Don't assume I'm rich just because I come from one of the lower four sects."

There are too many members in the family, and I am just a direct descendant, so I am not special in the family.

My monthly salary isn't even as much as I've earned from these few competitions!

At this point, she suddenly looked at Shi Guang seriously and said, "Thank you for reminding me in the first competition, otherwise I might have withdrawn from the competition."

This would damage my mental state, and I might never be able to improve my abilities further in the future.

"There's no need to thank me. Whether in life or in battle, you can only rely on yourself."

Shi Guang said softly, "That's how Soul Masters fight; they can't survive without fighting."

"Yes, that's how battles between Soul Masters are: the strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive."

Lingjian turned and left with a sigh, saying, "See you next week! Don't be late!"

Shi Guang smiled as he looked at Ling Jian's beautiful figure.

An interesting little girl.

He made his own assessment.

Now, Shi Guang has completed the task assigned by his mentor.

Today, I not only completed my task, but also gained a cheap mentor and a valuable contract.

Most importantly, he realized that the gap between himself and Tang San was not that large.

After leaving the Soul Arena, Shi Guang rode a carriage back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After a long and tiring journey along the road, Shi Guang got off the bus at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

The students of Team One of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had already finished their training and were all doing their own thing outside the academy.

After returning to Shiguang, he first found Shi Nian and Shi's mother, explained why he hadn't gone to say hello to them at noon, and then went to find the training teacher.

"Teacher, I want to withdraw from the course."

Shi Guang said that with the guidance of Zhang Fengshuo, a master of the staff and a powerful offensive Soul Emperor, he no longer needed to spend money to learn from his current Soul King teacher.

"Alright, now that you've found a new teacher, I don't have much more to teach you. Congratulations."

What else could the training instructor say? In terms of combat, he could barely guide Shi Guang, but in terms of staff techniques, his own level was no longer sufficient to teach him.

The training instructor honestly returned the remaining money to him, and Shi Guang thanked him before turning and leaving.

After leaving the training building, Shi Guang returned to his dormitory and started his meditation mode.

Silent all night.

The next day, time arrived at the playground on schedule.

The team members arrived one after another.

"Wow! It's early!"

Yu Feng arrived at the playground yawning, and his eyes lit up when he saw Shi Guang: "How did the game go? Was it difficult without me?"

After all, randomly matched teammates in doubles are too unreliable! I ran into one last time!

Seemingly remembering something, Yu Feng angrily clenched his fist to vent his emotions.
