Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Xu Tianran seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, with a faint smile always on his lips. Although the weather was not cooperating, and the gloomy sky foreshadowed an impending storm, this did not affect his spirits at all.

He took the cup of fragrant tea that Ju Zi handed him, took a small sip, and the mellow tea spread between his lips and teeth, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Ju Zi," Xu Tianran put down his teacup, turned to the beautiful woman beside him, and asked gently, "Who do you think will win this morning's match?"

Ju Zi was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xu Tianran to suddenly ask her this question. She pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, I dare not presume to guess."

"But I think the outcome of this match will be directly related to the captains of both teams." Orange paused, then continued.

"I have heard that there are rumors circulating outside that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has a very good chance of winning, and the outcome against the Heavenly Dragon Sect is probably 30 to 70."

"However..." Orange paused slightly, seemingly hesitant, "After all, the other party is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which is known as the number one beast martial soul in the world. Who knows what kind of tricks they might have up their sleeves?"

Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction. Ju Zi's answer was cautious and appropriate, and did not disappoint him. He said with great interest, "Then let's guess whether this number one beast martial spirit in the world can defeat our Royal Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi smiled charmingly and said softly, "Then I must guess first."

"Hahaha..." Xu Tianran laughed heartily and said, "Alright, you can guess first. But first, tell me what we're betting on?"

Ju Zi shook her head, her tone firm, and said, "I will not gamble. If I were to gamble, it would only be to add some fun for Your Highness. Everything I have belongs to Your Highness; what could I possibly have to gamble with you!"

Hearing Ju Zi's tender words, Xu Tianran felt even more pleased. He reached out and pulled Ju Zi into his arms, saying softly, "Well said, you are indeed my Ju Zi."

"Tell me, what's your guess?" Xu Tianran looked down at the beauty in his arms, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Orange raised her head, looking at Xu Tianran with a determined gaze, and said, word by word, "I guess the Royal Academy will definitely win."

"Oh?" Xu Tianran raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and asked with interest, "Why?"

Orange smiled confidently and explained, "Because even if a martial soul is powerful, the probability of winning in the face of absolute strength is very small."

Moreover, this year's competition focuses primarily on individual ability, and with the Hongchen siblings as a backup, I don't know how we could possibly lose.

"Wow, what a clever orange!" Xu Tianran couldn't help but exclaim, his tone full of appreciation and approval.

"It seems I can rest assured that the army is in your hands."

Xu Tianran's lips curled up slightly, revealing an approving smile, and he nodded gently to show his approval of the orange.

Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, Ju Zi felt an indescribable surge of excitement and joy. She could hardly contain her emotions and hurriedly tried to get up and bow to express her gratitude to Xu Tianran.

However, just as she was about to get up, Xu Tianran quickly grabbed her.

Xu Tianran gently pressed Ju Zi back into her seat, his deep gaze filled with a hint of doting, and said softly:

"Ju Zi, remember this: you are no longer my subordinate, but my wife. You no longer need to bow to me."

Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, a warm feeling welled up in Ju Zi's heart. She looked up, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

Xu Tianran looked at the orange and continued, "Didn't you say that everything you have belongs to me?"

And I consider you an important part of my life. Whatever I give you, it's only right.

Upon hearing this, Orange's eyes welled up slightly. She gently bit her lip, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

Xu Tianran reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ju Zi's eyes, saying softly, "Besides, I should help you fulfill your wish."

Ju Zi raised her head, looking at Xu Tianran with unwavering eyes, and asked, "Your Highness, is it really possible?" Xu Tianran smiled slightly and said:

"Of course you can. You're not qualified enough yet, but you can still be a partial commander. Keep up the good work. Once you've earned enough merit, you'll soon be able to help me take control of the army."

"I'm at ease entrusting the army to you." "Thank you, Your Highness," Orange said gratefully, her heart filled with anticipation and hope for the future. Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Alright, let's watch the match. It's about to begin."

In the rest area, Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stood at the front of the team, with six official team members in front of him.

He seemed to be making arrangements for something.

Meanwhile, the Tianlongmen were also conducting pre-battle mobilization.

After a while, prompted by the referee, both teams sent out their first players.

Both sides are around the Soul King level, their strength is average.

At the referee's announcement, the disciples of Tianlongmen shot out like arrows, their steps steady, each step seeming to strike the ground like a war drum.

His muscles were taut, brimming with explosive power, like a cheetah poised to pounce, his eyes filled with a thirst for victory.

The students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were not to be outdone. The soul-guided thrusters on their backs emitted dazzling blue light, propelling them backward rapidly. At the same time, they had already gripped a uniquely shaped soul-guided cannon in their hands.

One was like a tiger descending a mountain, unstoppable; the other was like an eagle spreading its wings, agile and unpredictable. In an instant, they clashed and sparked intense energy.

The Tianlong Sect disciple roared, and his first soul ring suddenly lit up. A thick layer of earthy yellow light covered his fists, and the surrounding ground trembled slightly.

He leaped high into the air, charging towards his opponent with the force of a mountain crashing down.

The students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy focused their gazes and calmly pulled the triggers of their soul-guided cannons.

A fist-sized energy blast shot out, trailing a long tail of flame, and aimed precisely at the chest of the Tianlongmen disciple.

The Tianlong Sect disciple neither dodged nor evaded; his second soul ring shone brightly, and a layer of rock armor instantly covered his entire body, allowing him to withstand the attack head-on.

The energy bomb exploded, scattering sparks everywhere, but the Tianlong Sect disciples only swayed slightly before rushing forward again, their speed increasing rather than decreasing.

The students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy constantly dodged and weaved, while simultaneously using their soul-guided cannons for ranged attacks, attempting to create distance and find an opening. One pursued, the other fled, and the battle quickly reached a stalemate.

However, the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were stronger than the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so he was quickly defeated.

The match ended when the Tianlongmen disciple got close to him.

However, the Tianlongmen disciples were also not in good shape. Although they won the match, they were also greatly exhausted. Therefore, the Tianlongmen had no choice but to make a substitution.

Xiao Hongchen is the one representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He points his finger in the direction of the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

He then pointed to Yu Tianlong, the captain of the Tianlong Sect.

The meaning is self-evident: he wants to fight him one-on-one.

"Captain, what does this mean?"

A disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect asked with some confusion.

Yu Tianlong smiled slightly. "So he wants to fight me one-on-one. It's clear he's an extremely warlike person."

"So, Captain, do you want to fight him one-on-one?"

Yu Tianlong smiled and said, "Since the other party has made it so obvious, wouldn't my refusal be a denial of their good intentions?"

As he spoke, Yu Tianlong strode toward the arena and quickly stepped onto it.

"You're Yu Tianlong, the captain of the Tianlong Sect?"

Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly back, and said somewhat casually.

Yu Tianlong's lips twitched slightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to beat the other person up.

"Indeed, you specifically requested to fight me?"

Xiao Hongchen curled his lip and said, "I've observed you carefully, and among your team, only your strength is somewhat noteworthy."

"The others are alright, but they are no match for us."

"Therefore, I don't intend to waste any more time. I plan to fight you one-on-one. If I lose, then our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will automatically concede defeat, and so will you."

Ok?

Yu Tianlong glanced at Xiao Hongchen with some surprise; he hadn't expected the other party to make this suggestion at all.

In his view, Tianlongmen was at a huge disadvantage in the battle against Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Although he was extremely powerful, he was no match for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which had two Soul Saints in charge.

I never expected Xiao Hongchen to make such a request.

This surprised and delighted Yu Tianlong.

If they defeat Xiao Hongchen, then Tianlongmen will advance to the semifinals.

He couldn't defeat the two, but he felt he could still put up a fight against just one Soul Saint.

As he thought about it, Yu Tianlong smiled and said, "Since you've said that, I agree. Fighting like this is a waste of time."

"Then let's settle this with one decisive match."

"Okay." Xiao Hongchen nodded lightly.

Will one battle decide the outcome?

Everyone in the rest area heard their conversation; it seemed far too frivolous.

The two teams went through so much trouble to make it to the finals, but it seems a bit irrational to end the duel with a one-on-one match.

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is indeed a very good solution. Having two teams of one player each using this method to decide the winner will make this one-on-one competition even more intense.

Staff in the rest area immediately went to report to their superiors.

The semi-finals were conducted in such a straightforward and brutal manner, a first in the history of the competition.

This wouldn't work with other teams; the other team members would jump out and object.

However, both Xiao Hongchen and Yu Tianlong held absolute authority within their respective teams, and their decisions were naturally not rejected by the team members.

One battle will decide the outcome!

How imposing!

The match time finally arrived. On the stage, the Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan walked to the center of the stage with a solemn expression.

He has already received the message. A single battle to decide the outcome—it's truly amazing that they even came up with this idea.

That's good, though, because it will reduce my stress a lot.

This will allow us to prepare more for the afternoon's matches. Undoubtedly, the clash between the Tang Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect this afternoon is the most important event.

"In the second semi-final match, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy faced off against Tianlongmen."

Both teams' players entered the waiting area.

Zheng Zhan shouted loudly as always.

His voice carried afar through the amplified soul tool he was carrying.

When only one person emerged from both the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Heavenly Dragon Gate, the audience was stunned.

What's going on?

Shouldn't each team have seven people entering the waiting area?

Yu Tianlong and Xiao Hongchen jumped onto the competition stage simultaneously before even entering the waiting area, and came to referee Zheng Zhan.

It expressed the desire to decide the outcome in one battle.

Although Zheng Zhan had received the news beforehand, he was still shocked when he heard it.

This is truly a battle to determine the victor! The young people these days have an incredibly strong ability to withstand pressure.

Back when I participated in the competition, would I have dared to do such a thing? I wouldn't even have dared to think about it.

"In the first semi-final match, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will face off against Tianlongmen. After discussion, both sides have agreed to decide the final outcome with a one-on-one match. The two teams facing off are Xiao Hongchen, the captain of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Yu Tianlong, the captain of Tianlongmen."

When Zheng Zhan loudly announced the oddities of the competition, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

However, only a very small minority actually feel disappointed; the vast majority of people are immediately aroused.

Today's semi-final saw more than just Prince Xu Tianran and Ju Zi speculating about how Xiao Hongchen and Yu Tianlong would meet! Almost all the viewers were making the same guess.

This is especially true for fans of Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, they will be competing in this one-on-one match, which is undoubtedly extremely exciting for the audience.

Only in this way can Xiao Hongchen and Yu Tianlong both face each other in their best condition.

Whoever wins, their team will advance to the finals.

"Laugh at the world, victory is assured!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

That shout brought the emotions of the entire audience to a climax.

"Laughing at the mortal world, victory is certain, victory is certain, victory is certain."

Hysterical screams instantly spread throughout the audience area. There were so many people who liked Xiao Hongchen that the huge sound wave startled even Xiao Hongchen himself.

Little did he know that he held such a high position in the hearts of the people of the Sun Moon Empire.

In fact, it's more accurate to say that the audience supports the Sun and Moon Empire rather than Xiao Hongchen.

After all, he represents the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

Yu Tianlong was not annoyed by the audience's overwhelming cheers for Xiao Hongchen; instead, his eyes blazed with fervent light.

As a powerful individual, his thinking is clearly different from that of ordinary people.

With so many people supporting Xiao Hongchen, his emotions will only become more agitated. (End of Chapter)
