Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 74 Fighting Tianshui Alone

"It's simple. Just let Yuan Guanghui go down and you go up, right? With your strength, I believe the Blazing Fire Academy shouldn't be a problem!" Zhong Weibiao said with a sly grin, his words dripping with mockery.

"You really think highly of me!" Li Fei was speechless, never expecting that Zhong Weibiao's method would be his own.

"By the way, who are our opponents in the draw?!" After joking around, Li Fei asked with some curiosity.

"It's Tianshui Academy, the place you've been longing for, full of beautiful girls. The vice-captain, Guo Tianqi, and I have already discussed it and decided that we'll send you to the field for this match. We'll all be cheering you on from the sidelines!" Zhong Weibiao teased.

"No, what do you mean by this?!" Li Fei looked at the group in astonishment, completely bewildered. Shouldn't it be Zhong Weibiao and his six companions going up first, while he was kept as a trump card to deal with the Martial Soul Team?!

"Actually, I don't know either. This is an arrangement by the Dream Cult. We discussed it and found that Tianshui Academy is full of beautiful women. We guys were too embarrassed to make a move, so we agreed!" The vice-captain teased, leaning over.

"Just because you're too embarrassed to help doesn't mean I'm comfortable helping you!" Li Fei said helplessly. Seeing that everyone looked like this, he had no choice but to turn his gaze to Meng Shenji, his eyes filled with pleading.

"Li Fei, I've thought it over! With your strength, whether you're hiding it or not, you should be absolutely confident in the final battle against the Spirit Hall team. I don't believe there's a Soul Emperor level expert on the Spirit Hall team. Our Royal Fighting team suffered a defeat in the last competition and desperately needs a stunning match to restore the reputation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The most stunning performance would be a seven-game sweep, which is why we need you to play!"

Having witnessed Li Fei's battle against the entire Royal Fighting Team, Meng Shenji had absolute confidence in Li Fei's strength. With the cooperation of Zhong Weibiao and the others, defeating the Martial Soul Team would be a piece of cake.

Not only that, he wanted to see if Tianshui Academy could get Li Fei to use more of his power on the arena, to fully display his strength, and to let him see the reason for Li Fei's monstrous fighting power.

"The Dream Cult, can't we discuss this?!" Li Fei tried to ask, but seeing Meng Shenji shake her head, he sighed inwardly, "So we can only blame these beauties for their bad luck?!"

The thought of being able to take down a whiny girl with a single punch on the ring still made Li Fei feel a little excited for some reason.

In the second battle between Thunder Academy and Divine Wind Academy, Thunder Academy's captain, Yu Minggang, possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and his cultivation level far surpassed that of Divine Wind Academy's captain. Under the beast-transformed dragon claws, Divine Wind Academy ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat and lost the qualification to participate in the finals.

"The third match of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament features Tianshui Academy against the Royal Fighting Team. In the previous competition, Tiandou Academy narrowly lost to the Star Luo Team by a single player. It will be interesting to see what lineup the Royal Fighting Team from Tiandou Royal Academy will use to face this formidable opponent! Their opponent, Tianshui Academy, is equally formidable, having reached the finals with a perfect record in both the elimination and qualifying rounds. Their strength is undoubtedly on par with the Royal Fighting Team, and we expect a thrilling battle from both sides!"

The host stood on the central stage explaining the situation of the Royal Fighting Team and the Tianshui Team to the various colleges, which aroused cheers from the students of the surrounding colleges. Fans of the two colleges shouted for their respective teams, with Tianshui College having the most, since most of the audience members were men.

"Now, please welcome both teams to the stage!" the host announced loudly, waving towards the entrance.

"Tianshui! Tianshui!..."

First, the Tianshui Academy team slowly entered the arena amidst the cheers of the audience. Instantly, the temperature in the entire arena dropped several degrees. The lights shone on them, and Captain Lan Ran waved to the surrounding audience. One of the team members even blew a kiss, causing the audience to scream in surprise.

Next was the entrance for the Royal Fighters. Li Fei yawned, holding a sausage in his hand as he walked and ate it. His steps were incredibly slow, and he seemed rather lazy.

"This... does this mean the Royal Fighting Team has chosen to forfeit the match?! They only sent one member onto the stage, is this just a formality?!" The host kept rubbing his eyes, looking incredulously at the fact that only one member of the Royal Fighting Team had entered, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain it.

The entire audience was in an uproar, with all the academies discussing whether the Royal Fighting Team had started to give up after seeing the performances of the other teams and realizing they couldn't beat them.

Lan Ran frowned, staring intently at the somewhat lazy Li Fei. Then she turned to look at the spectator stands of Tian Dou and found that neither Meng Shenji nor Zhong Weibiao showed any disappointment. Instead, they exuded calmness and composure, as if they had already won.

"Ladies, be careful! I feel like something's off with that guy over there!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The others exchanged glances and nodded in unison. They had also realized that even if the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were completely defeated on the arena, they would not choose to surrender without even standing. The only possibility was that the guy in front of them named Li Fei had the strength to defeat them.

"Referee, isn't the match starting yet?!" Li Fei casually tossed a bamboo stick into the ring next to him and looked at the somewhat bewildered host, reminding him helplessly. This was his moment to show off.

"Oh!...The competition begins!" The host snapped out of his daze, raised his right hand high and waved it forcefully to announce the start of the competition.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fei's previously somewhat lazy expression instantly turned serious, and a domineering aura rose up. He channeled his soul power into the simulated bracelet, and four soul rings, one yellow and one purple, wrapped around his body. He stretched out his right hand, looked at Lan Ran opposite him, and smiled, "Li Fei, representative of the Royal Fighting Team, Martial Soul Body, Level 46 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

Feeling that extremely domineering aura, the entire Tianshui team felt a sudden tremor in their hearts, and a sense of unease welled up in their minds. They all looked at Li Fei with serious expressions.

"Lan Ran, captain of Tianshui Academy, with the Martial Soul Ice Crystal and a level 42 Control-type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!" Lan Ran frowned slightly, took a step forward slowly, lit up her Martial Soul and Soul Rings, and said with a solemn expression.

"Shui Ming, Vice Captain of Tianshui Academy, Martial Soul: Water Wave Spirit Cat, Level 43 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

"Tianshui Academy..."

"..."

The other members of the Tianshui team also spoke up, revealing their martial spirits and spirit rings to alleviate their fear.

"Then ladies, watch out!"

"Second Soul Skill: Indestructible Vajra!"

A smile appeared on Li Fei's lips. He instantly activated his Vajra Indestructible technique, turning his entire body golden. With a slight push of his feet, he charged straight forward like a cannonball.
