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

Chapter 55—Extreme Speed!

"That kid is a treasure! He's only a one-ring Soul Master with ten years of Soul Rings, yet he almost defeated the strongest Soul Master among the new students of my Martial Soul System! Aren't you being a little too greedy to want him!"

"?!"

Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo exchanged glances, thinking: Something's not right! This explanation is different from what we expected!

Qian Duoduo was stunned for a while before she reacted, and said in confusion, "Old Yan, don't scare me. A one-ring Soul Master almost defeated a three-ring Soul Venerable. You can't joke like that!"

"Do you think I'm joking with you? I'm telling you responsibly, the one he almost defeated wasn't just an ordinary Soul Master, but the strongest Soul Master with a lower-limit Soul Ring among our freshmen."

"That kid's still lying in the infirmary after he's exhausted himself! And let me tell you, don't even think about getting him!"

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe turned around in annoyance and continued watching his game.

"Seven treasures turn out to produce crystal, one of which is speed."

On the field, Ning Tian raised the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in his hand and shot out a beam of yellow light, which landed on Qian Lingyun.

"Hmm, getting exciting!" Qian Lingyun licked her rosy lips, and six purple wings burst out from her back, suspending her in mid-air.

After a series of metallic clanging sounds, several butterfly-shaped metallic lumps appeared one after another on Qian Lingyun's back, shoulders, hips, and ribs. They emitted a faint blue glow in the shadows, and the blue flames slowly shifted to other directions as the 'metallic butterflies' deformed.

"Eight modified level 2 propulsion soul tools? Can this girl withstand the high load during propulsion?" Qian Duoduo was still thinking about how to poach Huo Yuhao, but when he looked up, he saw a scene that shocked him.

A female Soul Master with slender arms, legs, and waist actually installed eight level-two propulsion Soul Tools on herself! Logically speaking, this is practically self-destruction!

It should be noted that secondary propulsion soul tools are energy-intensive and inefficient, and are essentially useless. In addition, the physical fitness of a two-ring soul master is not very strong, so assembling two secondary propulsion soul tools at the same time is the limit.

Even a three-ring Soul Master can only equip three or four level-two propulsion Soul Tools at most, and this girl actually doubled that number? What gave her such courage?

"Old Yan, aren't you going to send someone to stop her?! She's got eight level-two propulsion soul tools installed! This is suicidal!" Qian Duoduo exclaimed, pointing at Qian Lingyun on the stage, "This kind of load will tear her apart!"

"Old Qian, to be honest, I love your naive and innocent look! Just look down!" Yan Shaozhe turned his head and looked at Qian Duoduo with amusement, thinking: [You old rascal, you didn't see the fight between Huo Yuhao and her. Compared to that level of ice, this pushing force is nothing!]

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe calmly leaned on the railing, watching Qian Duoduo anxiously on the side while enjoying the gentle breeze in his ears.

After all… who can resist watching Qian Duoduo get his comeuppance!

After a simple adjustment of his propulsion soul tool, a loud whooshing sound could be heard throughout the arena!

Before anyone could react, a cloud of purple mist, trailing a blue flame, had already traversed most of the arena, sending the bewildered opponent flying.

"What is this thing?" The captain of Class 6, a freshman, stared blankly at his two teammates who were lying on the ground, his small eyes filled with big question marks.

It wasn't until a slender scorpion tail emerged from the black mist and wrapped around his neck from behind that he belatedly stood frozen in place.

"I surrender!" The captain of Class Six glanced at his two weak teammates, couldn't help but swallow, and raised his hands.

The referee had no choice but to announce the victory of Class 9, the freshmen, inwardly cursing, "Damn it!"

He now understands that as long as Qian Lingyun is on the field, the match can never end normally; this girl's ability to create drama is simply outrageous.

When the three of them came out of the examination area number two, Ning Tian stopped in his tracks, looking at Dai Huabin leaning against the roadside.

"What's he doing standing there?" Qian Renxue asked, frowning.

"I don't know, but based on the family traditions of the Dai family, I can say with certainty that it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they're up to no good," Ning Tian pouted, giving Dai Huabin a mischievous glare, and whispered.

"You're all so beautiful, you need to protect yourselves and not attract any unwanted attention."

Ning Tian spoke the four words "Wild Bees and Butterflies" very loudly, and almost everyone in the arena could hear them.

In an instant, everyone around the arena, regardless of whether they had anything to do, turned their heads to look at Dai—the Mad Bee and the Butterfly—Hua Bin.

"Miss Ning, you don't have to raise your voice so loudly for everything!"

Dai Huabin crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, glanced at Qian Lingyun, and said bluntly, "Besides, I'm not some philanderer; I just have an eye for beauty."

"It's good to be able to appreciate beauty, but I suggest you keep your actions within the realm of appreciation! If you cross the line... let me state in advance, I don't have the good temper of my Yun'er." Qian Renxue's words revealed hostility and disdain, like a sharp steel knife, carrying a coldness that kept people at a distance.

Zhu Lu, standing next to Dai Huabin, turned cold, a hint of dissatisfaction and anger flashing in her eyes, but she held back.

"Hmm, I didn't even see her. There's a cold beauty here!" Dai Huabin pouted and scratched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh dear, why aren't we eating lunch?!" Qian Lingyun protested in a spoiled tone, shaking Qian Renxue's arm. "Sister, food! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"

Everyone: "..." I mean, girl, can't you think of anything else besides fighting and eating?

Qian Lingyun: I... want more money! Lots and lots of money! Money I could squander for several lifetimes.

The three of them went to the cafeteria to replenish their nutrition, and after resting in their room for a while, they returned to the assessment area.

This match is the final game of the knockout stage and also the highly anticipated championship game.

The spectators were all discussing whether the two teams would win or lose. Some said Qian Renxue's group would win, while others said Dai Huabin's group would win. Everyone had their own opinion.

Only Mu Jin led the entire Class 9 to find a large space to cheer for them. Seeing Mu Jin, the class teacher, completely disregarding her image and leading the flag-waving, attracting a lot of attention, Ning Tian and the other two felt a little ashamed and could only enter the venue with their heads down.

"I feel so awkward!" Qian Renxue said in a low voice.

"I also feel a little... ashamed!" Ning Tian nodded in agreement.

In response to her teammates' concerns, Qian Lingyun reassured them with her optimistic and cheerful attitude, "Don't worry, as long as we don't feel awkward, it's others who will!"

"..."

In the reserved open space in the center of the stands, some disheveled elderly men sat high up, eating meat and drinking wine without any regard for their image. Clearly, they were also very much looking forward to the final.

Beside him, Qian Duoduo looked at the old man obsequiously and said, "Elder Xuan, this wine is quite good, isn't it!"

"Hmm, not bad." Elder Xuan put down his wine gourd, smacked his lips twice, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then you'd better try to persuade Yan Shaozhe!" Qian Duoduo rubbed her hands together like a primary school student complaining to their parents, pointing at Yan Shaozhe and complaining, "That old Yan is so stingy. There are so many students, what's wrong with letting me have a few?"

"Oh! Shao Zhe! Which student does Duo Duo want?!" Xuan Zi turned to look at Yan Shao Zhe and asked curiously.

"He originally wanted a first-ring spirit attribute soul master, but who knew he'd want that super-limit soul ring prodigy who modified his own soul tool this afternoon!" Yan Shaozhe glared at Qian Duoduo, getting angrier the more he thought about it!

"Ah, this..." Xuanzi was silent for a while. He was originally inclined towards the Martial Soul system, but having just consumed something from the Soul Guidance system, he couldn't possibly...

Then, a clever idea struck him, and he joked, "Why don't you just ask the students and see what they think?"
