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

Chapter 33 Ning Luoluo vs. Tang San

Ning Luoluo was efficient; with a light leap, she was already on the stage. Unlike Tang San's composure, she exuded more indifference and aloofness. The audience and those in the spectator area couldn't see Ning Luoluo's expression; they only perceived her as a fairy, dressed in white.

"The highly anticipated second match of the fifteenth round of Soul Battles is about to begin. Please allow me to introduce our two contestants. They are Tang San, a level 29 Control-type Battle Soul Master with the plant-type martial soul Blue Silver Grass, and Ning Luoluo, a level 29 Agility-type Soul Master with the beast-type martial soul Holy Spirit Cat!"

Both are participating in the Soul Battle for the first time. Who will emerge victorious and take the first match? Let's wait and see! I hereby declare the fifteenth match, the second round, officially begin!

As usual, the host, dressed in a tuxedo, finished his opening remarks and then gave the stage to the two contestants. The spectators didn't react much; they all knew Tang San's abilities, as evidenced by his battle against Zhao Wuji. As for Ning Luoluo, everyone unanimously looked at Ning Mumu, still vividly remembering that kick; they both felt that neither of the sisters was simple.

However, the audience wasn't as quiet as in the previous match. Wasn't Blue Silver Grass a useless spirit? How could someone cultivate it to level 29? This piqued the audience's curiosity. After all, the Soto Grand Arena had never seen a Blue Silver Grass spirit master before. Had the host misread the name?

"Tang San, please give me your guidance." Ning Luoluo's cold voice rang out. She wanted to see just how big the gap was between herself and Tang San.

Across from him, Tang San gave a polite bow and said, "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Luoluo made the first move. Control-type Soul Masters are naturally countered by agility-type Soul Masters, and not wanting to be on the defensive, she chose to strike first.

Should we make the first move? Tang San narrowed his eyes. Ning Luoluo, let's see if you're faster or my Blue Silver Grass is faster!

"Tang San, you're daydreaming." In the blink of an eye, Ning Tengluo was already close to Tang San, and her afterimage seemed not to have completely dissipated.

Since her Netherworld Cat Martial Soul evolved into the Holy Spirit Cat Martial Soul, Ning Luoluo's overall attributes have improved significantly. As a speed-attack type Soul Master to begin with, her speed increase is even more pronounced. Although her Soul Power is only level 29, compared to Tang San of the same level, Ning Luoluo's speed undoubtedly far surpasses his. This is why she was able to influence Tang San's judgment in an instant and arrive beside him.

"First Soul Skill; Netherworld Thrust!"

The girl's clear, cold voice rang out, and Tang San was secretly annoyed that he had fallen for someone else's trick. With a light, ghostly movement, Tang San dodged the attack to the side, his left foot rising up while his right hand manipulated the Blue Silver Grass to grow from the ground, quickly surrounding Ning Luoluo.

The Blue Silver Grass is inherently poisonous, and its speed is not to be underestimated. Ning Luoluo's eyes sharpened. Using the momentum of the Blue Silver Grass, she leaped into the air, flipped to the right, and temporarily dodged the attack. After retreating two meters, Ning Luoluo counterattacked Tang San with even greater speed.

"Netherworld Slash—"

After the martial soul evolved, the power of the soul skill also increased. The Netherworld Slash is now more powerful and more practical. Not only has the number of slashes increased, but its power is also comparable to that of a Soul Master. In just a moment, the Blue Silver Grass was torn to shreds.

"Heh," Tang San clicked his tongue lightly. Ning Luoluo wasn't as easy to deal with as he'd imagined. His only thought now was to wear down her soul power and then deliver a decisive blow. The idea was appealing, but reality was frustrating.

The Blue Silver Grass grew rapidly, stretching the battle lines and severely restricting Ning Luoluo's movements. For the next period of time, she constantly dodged and looked for opportunities to attack Tang San's weaknesses.

Fortunately, the Blue Silver Grass had relatively weak attack power, and the Holy Spirit Cat Martial Soul also had the effect of purifying some of the toxins, so the weak toxins from the Blue Silver Grass had no effect on Ning Luoluo at all.

An opportunity has been found!

Ning Luoluo's eyes widened, her ears twitched, and she quickly retreated from the encirclement of the Fallen Blue Silver Grass.

He then created some distance between himself and Tang San, and then quickly took a running start. Almost as fast as lightning, he rushed in front of Tang San in the blink of an eye.

"Netherworld Thrust!"

With her level 29 soul power nearly depleted, Ning Luoluo launched one last attack. Sharp cat claws almost...

It pierced Lu San's neck, drawing a very thin line of blood.

"Bang—"

Tang San sidestepped the attack with remarkable precision, then defeated Ning Luoluo with a single palm strike.

"It seems Luo Luo is still a little lacking." Ning Mumu shook her head. The male protagonist's halo in the original work is still too big. Luo Luo can't win.

There was a moment of silence on the field.

Someone in the audience gasped, followed by thunderous applause and cheers. Although Tang San and Ning Luoluo were only level 29 Great Soul Masters, their fight was surprisingly impressive. Their use of soul power was somewhat clumsy, and their techniques were lacking, but the audience wasn't too demanding; they just wanted to enjoy the spectacle.

"Your speed is incredible; among agility-type Soul Masters of the same level, few can match you," Tang San said. "However, your experience is still lacking. If you had seized my weakness just now, you might have already won."

As before, Tang San pointed out his opponent's shortcomings, but Ning Luoluo's reaction was different from her previous opponents. Instead of humbly accepting Tang San's words, she clicked her tongue and said, "Hmm," as she passed him.

"Luo Luo," Ning Mumu had already come down and wiped her sweat, "You did very well, leaving room for improvement."

Anyone could see that if Ning Luoluo hadn't stopped, Tang San wouldn't have been able to dodge. In a battlefield duel, Tang San would already be a corpse. That's why Ning Mumu said, "Leave some room for maneuver."

Ning Luoluo may seem aloof, but she is kind. Even if she dislikes someone, she wouldn't go all out in a competition like this. So, all she could do was laugh at Tang San's lecture.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Tang San, though victorious, was somewhat embarrassed; he truly couldn't dodge it. However, this was relative; if he had cheated and used hidden weapons, the outcome would have been uncertain.

"Next match, Shi Yu vs. Xiao Wu."

As usual, Dai Mubai informed the two people in the audience to prepare. Xiao Wu's flexibility is undeniable, but her strength is lacking. As for Shi Yu, it's the first time they've met him, so they don't know his abilities yet and it's difficult to comment on him.

"Sister Mumu," Shi Yu's expression instantly brightened upon seeing Ning Mumu return, her icy demeanor instantly transforming into a warm, sunny smile. "You're back!"

Shi Yu handed them two bottles of water. "Sister Mu Mu, will you watch my match?"

"Hmm," Ning Mumu replied, after all, she also wanted to see Shi Yu's strength, to see how capable she was, and whether she could break through the female lead's halo.

After receiving a reply, Shi Yu smiled even more happily, "After I win, Sister Mu Mu, could you grant me a small request? Just one!"

"Just say what you want to say." Ning Mumu was still somewhat wary of Shi Yu's sudden closeness and didn't really want to agree to his request.
