Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

Chapter 32 The First Battle of Souls

Just after they finished registering, Tang San and his companion arrived. The four nodded to each other as a greeting.

"Ning Mumu, your one-on-one soul battle is almost here," Dai Mubai reminded her.

The one-on-one Soul Battle arena matches are determined by drawing lots. While other Soul Masters are battling, waiting Soul Masters can choose to watch or rest. Each area of ​​the Soul Battle Arena has designated viewing areas for participating Soul Masters, located very close to the battle stage.

Since it's not yet time for the battle to begin, everyone is choosing to watch from the spectator stands, which is also a way to gain experience.

Even the cheapest Soul Arena has a diameter of twenty meters. Compared to the spacious spectator stands, it's not enough. However, this space is more than enough for Soul Masters to showcase their abilities.

On the stage, a middle-aged man in a tailcoat stood in the center. He cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Next, we will begin the first one-on-one battle of our Fifteen Soul Arena. The two Soul Masters will be the first to appear!"

They are Ning Mumu, a Battle Soul Master possessing the Seven Kill Sword weapon spirit, and Er Mi, a Battle Soul Master possessing the Great Ape beast spirit! Both are newcomers to the Soul Arena. Who will win their first match? Let's wait and see! Now, please welcome the two Soul Masters to the stage.

The Mighty Ape Martial Soul, as its name suggests, possesses a distinct sense of power. The man, approximately 2 meters tall and in his thirties, has incredibly large muscles and is quite intimidating.

In contrast was the relatively petite Ning Mumu. Her expression was normal, and she looked gentle and serene.

"Ning Luoluo, how strong is your sister?" Ma Hongjun leaned closer, somewhat worried. "This Ermi looks like he's not to be trifled with. Your sister's probably going to have a fight."

"You'll only know once you compare." Only when her sister wasn't around did Ning Luoluo resemble Zhu Zhuqing in a way—the coldness and calmness that were ingrained in her bones.

"Oh," Ma Hongjun pinched his nose and returned to Dai Mubai's side dejectedly.

The two players on the field seemed exceptionally polite, neither of them moving. After a while, the spectators in the stands seemed annoyed; a few even threw bottles, feeling cheated.

"What are you two doing? Have you hit it off?"

"Damn it, give me my money back!"

"Look at these two mute people! Can't their legs move?"

……

The audience seating didn't bother the two. Ermi gave an honest smile and said, "Sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his Martial Soul. His hands were covered in ape-like fur, and he rapidly grew to two meters tall, just like his name.

"Whoosh—"

Compared to other strength-type Soul Masters, Ermiao is much faster. In just two seconds, he had already flashed in front of Ning Mumu.

In the Soul Arena, Soul Skills are unpredictable. Ning Mumu stood there on the stage, completely still.

Some audience members felt sorry for her beauty and were worried for her.

The Soul Masters in the spectator area glanced at the scene and seemed to have already foreseen the outcome. They all closed their eyes and continued to rest.

Even Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were a little worried, wondering if Ning Mumu had forgotten to activate her martial soul due to nervousness. Only Ning Luoluo remained calm, though her eyes were full of confidence.

"Ning Luoluo," Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say, "your sister—"

The instant Ermi made his move, Ning Mumu also moved. No one present saw how she kicked; in just a brief moment, Ermi had already flown away.

……

No one expected it to end so quickly; the match ended without warning, completely exceeding everyone's expectations. The petite Ning Mumu didn't even release her soul skills, nor did her soul power fluctuate, yet she easily defeated Er Mi, who had activated his martial soul.

Moreover, Ermi, a strength-type Soul Master, was actually kicked away by Ning Mumu, who was also a Soul Venerable.

The audience was initially stunned, then erupted in thunderous cheers. Ning Mumu's kick had piqued their interest in watching.

"Your sister is really amazing—" Ma Hongjun took back his worried words, feeling that he was really idle and dared to question Ning Mumu, who was indeed very capable.

Two meters had been kicked to the edge of the field. He staggered to his feet, still a little dazed. "Ning Mumu, are you born with superhuman strength?"

"I suppose so." Ning Mumu smiled amicably. She had reduced her strength; the kick wasn't very hard, and even after two meters, it only caused some wear and tear on her clothes.

The host in the tuxedo finally realized what was happening, cleared his throat, and quickly walked to the fighting stage, loudly announcing, "Soul Master Ning Mumu has won, with a record of one win and zero losses. Er Mi's record is zero wins and one loss! Master Ning Mumu, please go down to register your points after you leave the stage."

"You're pretty good too," Ning Mumu said, turning around. "Let's have another competition if we're lucky."

Ermi smiled憨厚ly as usual, "I'll definitely do it when I have time."

However, he knew clearly that it was impossible. He was lucky to have encountered a genius like Ning Mumu even once; Ning Mumu would only grow stronger with time, and he could never catch up. Unless, of course, he had an incredible stroke of luck.

"Has the match started?" After Xiao Wu and Tang San finished registering, they went to the stands and were a little confused to see that no one was there.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"It's over," Dai Mubai explained. "Ning Mumu won."

!

"So fast?" Xiao Wu and Tang San exchanged incredulous glances. "We were only gone for a few minutes!"

Nobody paid them any attention, because the next match was already scheduled.

No one expected that this match would be between Ning Luoluo and Tang San.

"Sister, I'm going now." Ning Luoluo wasn't surprised at all; it didn't matter to her who she was being compared to. Tang San? She didn't even pay much attention to this ordinary man.

"Be careful in everything." Ning Mumu hugged Ning Luoluo. "Don't be reckless."

Tang San is the chosen one of Douluo Continent. However, it seems that the strength of others is also constantly increasing. In particular, Ning Mumu's pills have nurtured geniuses from various sects, each of whom is no weaker than Tang San. In fact, some of these geniuses have already surpassed Tang San.

Originally, selling pills was just an unintentional mistake, but unexpectedly it hindered Tang San's path to success. Ning Mumu suddenly realized that even if Tang San won the Soul Master Competition two years later, he couldn't possibly win all the matches.

At that time, he will be facing a group of geniuses who surpass him. All his pride will then become a joke.

Today, Luo Luo and his fighting spirit will begin this chapter.

Watching Ning Luoluo's resolute back, Ning Mumu recalled parts of the original novel. Zhu Zhuqing, whose fate was fraught with hardship, was resilient and courageous, daring to rebel, and possessed an extraordinary spirit. Most importantly, she had a strong sense of self.

In the end, however, fate still pushed her towards that despicable man, Dai Mubai. Even if she became a god, such a life would still be tragic.

Luo Luo, this time, whether you want to be Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Luo Luo, I'll support you either way.

Neither fate nor family will become an obstacle for you.

I've written another chapter, everyone. The exams are over, I'm so happy! (*￣０￣)ノ
