Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 151 So she really is Qian Renxue

As the competition date drew closer, everyone at Shrek Academy grew anxious.

The finals format is different from the previous qualifiers and qualifying rounds. At this stage, the teams have entered an extremely brutal elimination round.

The two empires and the Spirit Hall together formed a total of 33 teams, each participating in five rounds of competition. Except for the last match, a large number of teams would be eliminated in the first four rounds, with no chance to start over.

In the first round, the three seeded teams received a bye. In the second round of the qualifying tournament, the top team received a bye. In the third round of the qualifying tournament, the second-place team received a bye. Finally, the remaining six teams competed in the fourth round to determine the final winners.

Shrek Academy, having secured first place in the Heaven Dou Empire's qualifying rounds, enjoys the privilege of a bye in the second round.

However, there are also strong teams among the others, making it extremely difficult to win two rounds.

Not to mention that they might also encounter three seeded teams and Su Cheng's Heavenly Dou Royal Second Team.

"Where did Zhu Qing and Mu Bai go? Why aren't they back yet?"

"Yes, without Zhu Qing, the outcome of the later matches is hard to predict."

Yu Xiaogang looked grim, and Flander was equally anxious.

Next, he will go to the match draw. Without Zhu Zhuqing, the team's strength will at best hover in the middle.

Tang San opened his mouth as if to say something, but then fell silent, his expression turning gloomy.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu gently took his hand.

The elimination rounds proceeded very quickly.

To the delight of the Shrek Academy students, they had excellent luck in the draw and made it through three rounds of elimination matches with unstoppable momentum.

In the first and third rounds, they faced the Tianshui Academy team, whose strength had greatly diminished after Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu left the team, and the bottom-ranked team from the Xingluo Empire.

With a bye in the second round, they unknowingly became one of the six teams remaining in the end.

But by this point, luck could no longer help them go any further.

There are no weaklings among the remaining teams.

In addition to the three seeded teams, there are also the Tian Dou Royal Second Team, where Su Cheng is located, and the reorganized Shenfeng Academy Team.

Inside the hotel, Yu Xiaogang's expression was solemn.

"The draw results are in. Tomorrow we'll be facing the Star Luo Royal Academy team. If Zhu Zhuqing can't make it, it'll be very difficult to win."

Flander sighed upon hearing this, "Xiao Gang, you should arrange the tactics first. No matter what, we must give it our all."

The strength of each team has been fully revealed in these days of elimination matches.

The Star Luo Royal Academy team boasts six Soul Masters and swept through the competition, winning both matches with overwhelming force.

On the other hand, Shrek Academy only has Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu with the strength of a Soul Master.

However, the whereabouts of Zhu Zhuqing, the strongest among them, are still unknown.

Looking at it this way, the upcoming battle is practically a foregone conclusion that they will lose.

But now that we've come this far, no one wants to give up easily.

Having no other choice, Yu Xiaogang could only bite the bullet and begin explaining the battle plan for the next round.

The students from Shrek Academy were unaware that Zhu Zhuqing had actually arrived in Wuhun City long ago, but simply hadn't gone to meet up with them.

She had no interest in participating in the first few rounds of the competition.

Zhu Zhuqing was well aware of the strength of each team.

In her opinion, since Su Cheng had only asked her to lead Shrek Academy to the finals, there must be follow-up arrangements. She probably wouldn't need to play and there wouldn't be any accidents.

However, she was not prepared to avoid the next match.

"Star Luo Royal Academy..."

Zhu Zhuqing gazed towards the center of Wuhun City.

"Dai Mubai, I'll save your life this time. From now on, we're even."

Strolling along the somewhat deserted streets of Wuhun City, her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

From a distance, two buildings stand out prominently on the hills of Wuhun City.

Even at great distances, it remains clearly visible.

The golden Papal Palace represents the highest power of the Spirit Hall. Its golden exterior shimmers brilliantly in the sunlight, making it exceptionally dazzling.

But above it, there is another building.

It is not as large as the Papal Palace, nor is its appearance as ostentatious; its walls are as white as jade.

However, anyone who looks at it will feel that the status and presence of this building far surpasses that of the luxurious Papal Palace.

"Is that the Douluo Palace?"

Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, speaking softly to herself.

She knew the architectural structure of the Spirit Hall. No matter where the Papal Palace was built, the Douluo Palace would be built alongside it, and its location would inevitably be higher than that of the Papal Palace.

Within the Spirit Hall, the Douluo Hall holds an extremely special position.

It is precisely because of the existence of this building that Wuhun City was recognized by the Soul Master community as a holy land for Soul Masters after its establishment.

She also knew that the descendants of the Qian family of the Spirit Hall were the masters of the Douluo Hall.

The first match of the fourth round of eliminations was between the Spirit Hall Academy team and the Heaven Dou Royal team.

A large number of spectators, as well as team members from many participating academies, gathered in the stands of the competition venue to watch silently.

In the previous match, none of the three legendary members who had obtained the Purple Record Medal appeared among the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team, yet they still won easily.

Now, the team members have finally changed.

Four unfamiliar faces joined the Spirit Hall Academy team.

Dugu Bo appeared silently in the Heavenly Dou Royal Second Team and stood next to Su Cheng.

Besides him, Ning Rongrong, Feng Qingyu, Shui Bing'er, Hu Yanli and others were also among them.

"The three people in the second row are the three geniuses hailed as the Golden Generation by the Spirit Hall."

"The black-haired youth in the middle is named Xie Yue, a level 52 Power Attack-type Battle Soul King, whose Martial Soul is the Moon Blade."

"The red-haired man to his right is named Yan, a level 52 fire-attribute power attack type battle soul king, whose martial soul is the Flame Lord."

"The girl on the other side of the evil moon is his sister, named Hu Liena, a level 51 control-type battle spirit king, whose martial spirit is a fox."

"Xie Yue and Hu Liena inherited their parents' surnames and martial spirits respectively."

Shui Bing'er and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts. "As expected, three Soul Kings."

But compared to these three people, the woman walking at the very front of the group—

"...She is Qian Renxue, said to be the daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji. She is extremely talented, and her strength is unknown, but it is certain that she is now at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm."

Yu Xiaogang's somber voice rang out from within the Shrek Academy team.

"Soul Emperor..."

Tang San and the others fell silent.

Su Cheng, a Soul King, already exudes suffocating pressure; how powerful must a peak Soul Emperor be?

We had been avoiding this issue, but now that the team has come this far, we have no choice but to face this reality.

Before that, they still had to fight against the Star Luo Royal Academy team.

But since we're standing here, who wouldn't want to win the ultimate championship?

The uniforms of the Spirit Hall Academy team are pure white, embroidered with six symbols representing the Spirit Hall.

On the left chest of the three people in the middle, two men and one woman, there was a purple book-shaped badge, which was a symbol of their honor and a rare purple medal in the Spirit Hall.

An invisible belief seemed to emanate from them.

That's the invincible aura that only someone who has experienced countless victories and defeated countless opponents can possess.

But no matter how powerful their aura was, they were completely invisible to others.

Or rather, everyone's eyes were subconsciously drawn to the woman in the lead.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing in the crowd, stared blankly at the enormous competition arena.

The person on the stage was stunningly beautiful, composed, and always seemed to have a nonchalant smile on their lips.

But there was no warmth in that smile; it sent chills down one's spine.

On the contrary, it makes him appear all the more cruel and ruthless, like a god looking down on all living beings.

To her, these talented soul masters were nothing more than fireflies and mayflies, not worth mentioning.

She didn't even seem to intend to make a move at this point.

Just by standing there with his arms crossed, he made all the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team look solemn.

"Nana, Xieyue, you two go. Don't waste time, finish quickly."

Qian Renxue remained still and spoke calmly.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena immediately stepped forward without saying a word.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were not displeased by this disdain. They immediately looked away from Qian Renxue and solemnly looked at the two people in front of them.

With a light, graceful step, Hu Liena turned and was already at the very front.

As her martial spirit was released, a large, fluffy tail grew from her back, making her already alluring figure even more enchanting.

The next moment, Hu Liena's five spirit rings flashed in a very regular pattern.

First came the black fifth spirit ring, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow first spirit ring. With each spirit ring's fluctuation, the red light emanating from her body intensified.

Then, Xie Yue, who was standing behind her, also moved.

Xie Yue held two crescent-shaped moon blades, their surfaces entirely blood-red. With a sudden movement, he extended his arms and charged at his sister from behind.

A red light curtain suddenly appeared and spread, enveloping Xie Yue and Hu Liena the instant their bodies collided. At the same time, the red light burst forth, expanding like a sphere of light, covering nearly half the area of ​​the arena.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Bewitching Charm!

Amidst the flashing red light, the two people transformed into a single, androgynous figure with long red hair.

Then, the figure began to move. Two moon blades, magnified to twice their original size, silently sliced ​​out with a flowing rainbow-like brilliance.

An overwhelming battle quickly ensued.

Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in watching the one-sided battle; instead, she kept her gaze fixed on the figure who, though clearly in the midst of the battlefield, seemed to exist independently of the world.

She gently bit her lip with her silver teeth.

"So she was Qian Renxue..."
