Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 139 — I'm an absolute acting genius, okay!

"Take care, you two." The teacher in charge thought to herself, "You're finally leaving..." But out of politeness, she had to put on a reluctant look and went forward to see Qian Lingyun and the other person off.

As they reached the main gate, Qian Lingyun turned around again, a half-smile on her face, and said, "I heard you'll be playing against Shrek Academy soon, right? Just a friendly reminder."

"We've already investigated their information. That kid with twin martial souls in the second ring has one eye and the other the ultimate ice-green scorpion. If you encounter him, be careful as he might use his soul skill to share special vision from outside the arena."

"Furthermore, fire, ice, and poison attributes will all put you at a significant disadvantage!"

"Why are you telling us this?" Xiao Hongchen's face stiffened, and he asked in confusion, "Are you saying we'll lose to them?"

"Arrogance will bring everyone to their knees! And before complete victory, there is always the possibility of defeat."

Qian Lingyun smiled, turned and left the room, leaving the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looking at each other in bewilderment.

The necessary reminders have already been given, and Qian Lingyun doesn't really care who will ultimately win the championship.

But... if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could really pull off a comeback just this once...

Isn't it interesting to think about Shrek's seemingly nonchalant demeanor, but secretly furious side?

After Qian Lingyun left, the entire room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was as silent as death. The teacher in charge immediately went to the Mingde Hall headquarters to confirm Qian Lingyun's whereabouts.

As expected, the news from Mingde Hall was exactly the same as what Qian Lingyun had said. When the news reached Xiao Hongchen and the others, two people were the most devastated: Ma Rulong, who had lost his beloved family member, and Xiao Hongchen, who had lost his embryo.

Under the most common human emotion—sorrow—the two brothers put aside their past grievances, embraced each other and wept bitterly. While crying out about the shamelessness of Shrek Academy of the Body Sect, they gritted their teeth and vowed to make Shrek Academy and the Body Sect pay for their blood debts!

.........

As evening fell, the group from the Holy Spirit Cult entered the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Along the way, Mei Douluo kept looking at Qian Lingyun, who was dressed as a student, and chuckled. His strange appearance made Qian Lingyun feel a chill down her spine, and she subconsciously hid behind Feng Ling.

"Vice Master, in my opinion, we should just leave the body here!" The Third Elder found an empty space and fired several shots at the corpse of the big-headed doll Lang Ya with his soul-guided cannon.

He stuffed a few more pieces of Shrek Academy's emblem into his palm and pressed a few more under his body before he started to act like a cat.

On the outskirts of a town called Tianhun, a hundred miles away, two furtive figures looked around and smiled at each other, seeing that no one was watching.

"Alright, the second act of framing someone begins!" Qian Lingyun nodded in satisfaction, took out the Body Sect signal firework that Mei Douluo had found, and pulled it towards the sky.

With a whoosh, the signal firework shot straight into the sky, exploding into a special symbol in the sky above the city.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, four or five beams of light, some light and some dark, shot straight in from afar. Each beam of light that shot into the air was condensed and did not dissipate. In particular, the first beam of light, a white-colored pillar, was significantly stronger than the ones behind it.

"Who set off the distress signal fireworks for my Body Sect?!" A deep voice came from the horizon. In just a few breaths, they arrived in front of Qian Lingyun and surrounded her.

The group was led by a burly man with a thick beard. He was tall and looked like a small giant. The men behind him also had their own unique characteristics. Some had arms that reached past their knees, some had incredibly thick legs, and others had ominous green hair all over their bodies.

The burly man at the head of the group flashed to Qian Lingyun's side, curiously examined her for a moment, then looked around and frowned, saying, "Little girl, do you know who set off those fireworks just now?"

"Senior...Senior, I set off those fireworks." Qian Lingyun looked at the burly man with teary eyes, pitifully raised her hand, and said in a trembling voice.

"You?!" The burly man looked at Qian Lingyun suspiciously, his muscular mind filled with big question marks.

The Qian Lingyun in front of him looked like nothing more than a weak and helpless little girl. Her strength was only around the fourth ring. Apart from being pretty, she didn't seem to have anything special about her.

How could she possibly have such a thing! Could it be that some lecherous brat in the sect couldn't control his lust and left behind some fireworks?

Looking at the little girl's pitiful appearance... after thinking it over, it seems that only this inference makes sense.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the several strange-looking fellows behind them, the burly man with the bushy beard gently patted Qian Lingyun's shoulder and comforted her, "Girl, don't worry. Just tell me which scoundrel from our Body Sect is looking for you, and I'll go and bring him here right now."

"Huh! What brat?" Qian Lingyun exclaimed in surprise. To be honest, even someone as unconventional as her couldn't figure out the person's thought process.

"Huh?" Seeing Qian Lingyun's bewildered expression, the burly man with the bushy beard was also stunned. He scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion, "Those fireworks are only available to the direct descendants of my Body Sect. You're holding this thing, isn't it a token given to you by some womanizing scoundrel in our sect?"

"Huh?" Qian Lingyun's face flushed red with anger. She said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, senior? I'm here to set off fireworks at someone's request. Why do you make it sound like I'm some kind of improper woman!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem," the burly man coughed awkwardly a few times, then said in a deep voice, "Who gave you these fireworks? And why did they want you to set them off here?"

"I'm a student at the Second Soul Master Academy of Heavenly Soul. Our team lost the Soul Master Competition and came back from Star Luo City. We were the cheerleaders sent by the academy to pick up the participating teams," Qian Lingyun paused, scratching her head a little embarrassedly as she explained, "From the team leader to the students, they're all girls."

"Okay, go on!" The burly man from the Body Sect nodded, signaling Qian Lingyun to continue.

"Then I arrived those few days and got separated from the main group." After briefly glancing at the five Body Sect experts before her, Qian Lingyun continued her story:

"On our way to catch up with the main group, we encountered a senior with a very large head but a very thin build," Qian Lingyun said, gesturing vividly to describe Ming Langya's appearance, as she pulled the token from her pocket.

"However, when we met him, he seemed to be dying. Before he passed away, he gave me a firework and a token, telling me to set off the firework here, and that someone would avenge him."

At this point, the faces of the group from the Body Sect darkened considerably. They huddled together and whispered among themselves, their fierce gazes occasionally sweeping over the seemingly harmless Qian Lingyun.

"Then where is that person you mentioned now?" The burly man with a bushy beard took a step forward, releasing his Title Douluo aura without any concealment, and glared at Qian Lingyun as he asked fiercely.

"It's there...it's there..." Startled by the aura of the Title Douluo, Qian Lingyun's face instantly drained of color. Her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, pointing towards the corpse and bursting into tears, "Over there, waah waah waah!"
