The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 169 The True King and Power

After a brief treatment, the Shrek team's injuries stabilized, but Tang San fell unconscious again. Yu Xiaogang and the others, along with a group of reserve team members, had to carry Tang San and the others out of the arena.

Whoosh—

As the Shrek Academy team left the stage, the audience erupted in a cacophony of shouts. Some were insults directed at Shrek Academy, others were awestruck by Li Xun's strength, and still others expressed their hopes for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's chances of winning the championship.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong led Zhu Zhuqing and skipped into the arena. Following behind them were Dugu Yan and the other members of the Tiandou team.

Although Li Xun defeated Shrek Academy single-handedly in this team competition, they were still proud of it.

"Brother, I was wondering why you weren't participating in team training. I didn't know you were this good now." Ning Rongrong stepped forward and hugged Li Xun's arm, pressing her whole face against it.

"You're only finding out now!" Li Xun laughed and flicked Ning Rongrong on the forehead.

If Li Xun had treated Ning Rongrong like this before, she would have fought back long ago, but today Ning Rongrong just chuckled and rubbed her head.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's obsequious manner, Zhu Zhuqing smiled and turned to look Li Xun up and down: "How are you? Are you hurt?"

"It still has to be Zhu Qing, unlike some heartless guy." Seeing Zhu Zhu Qing's concerned gaze, Li Xun felt a warmth in his heart and raised their hands to salute the audience.

Making intimate gestures in front of so many people, Zhu Zhuqing's ears turned slightly red. She glared at Li Xun and then slowly lowered her head, as if to bury it in his chest.

"How could I not care about you? As soon as I came over, I saw that your clothes were still the same as when you went on stage. You don't look injured at all. Do I even need to ask?" Ning Rongrong said to the audience with a fake smile while pinching Li Xun's waist hard with her other hand.

"Ouch~ I was wrong, Rongrong, stop it, tens of thousands of people are watching." Li Xun twitched her face, which was faking a smile at the audience, and said in a low voice.

This victory, one of the few she'd ever achieved in her life, made Ning Rongrong's eyes light up. She couldn't hide her smile, and could only force a feigned angry tone: "Hmph! Since you know you're wrong, then this young lady will let you off the hook this time."

"Thank you, Miss Rongrong!"

Dugu Yan and the others arrived at Li Xun's side at this moment, and upon hearing this, they were immediately amused and burst into laughter.

"Wow! I never knew Rongrong could shine like this!" Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong with a half-smile.

Ning Rongrong, who was originally immersed in joy, wrinkled her small nose: "Hmph! Mind your own business!"

"Sister Yan, Rongrong is finally happy, so don't discourage her," Zhu Zhuqing said to Dugu Yan with a smile as she leaned over from Li Xun's other side.

"Oh, Zhuqing! Even you're laughing at me with her." Ning Rongrong immediately let go of Li Xun and pounced on the two of them with bared teeth and claws.

"Brother Li, I feel like we can win this Soul Master Competition without lifting a finger just by relying on you." Yang Qianjun led the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers away from Zhu Zhuqing and the other two to Li Xun's side.

"Yeah! That's amazing! I feel like from now on, the two of us brothers can just stand at the back and protect Rongrong." The Shimo and Shimo brothers nodded frantically.

"Haha, since you two think I'm so powerful, why don't you hurry up and join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Li Xun chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Graphite and Stone Mill rubbed their hands together eagerly: "We'll definitely join, and we're just waiting for you to lead us to victory."

"Now that you two have joined, I'll leave the rest of the preliminaries to you." Li Xun stretched and greeted the three women, then turned to Yang Qianjun and the Shi Mo brothers and said, "I don't want to be that tired."

Li Xun's words startled Yang Qianjun and the other two: "You mean we'll have to compete against each other in the remaining preliminary rounds?"

"Aren't the best players always the last to go on stage? Apart from the strong teams, we're counting on you guys."

"I hereby announce that the winner of the first match of the first round of the preliminary rounds is Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

As Li Xun and the others left the stage, Qian Renxue smiled and dismissed the referee, then walked to the soul-guided loudspeaker and loudly announced the results.

She was right about him, and the talent Li Xun is showing now far exceeds her initial expectations.

Not to mention that the other party not only improved their strength rapidly, but also handled some government affairs in an orderly manner, which really made them look good.

"Ha! What golden generation? I heard that Bibi Dong even specially prepared soul bones suitable for these people." Qian Renxue sneered.

Unfortunately, all the plans you made for them are about to fall through.

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow as she looked down at the three women chatting and laughing with Li Xun.

Li Xun is great in every way, but isn't her love life a bit too complicated...?

"Heavenly Struggle! Heavenly Struggle! Heavenly Struggle!"

Just as Qian Renxue's thoughts were wandering, the 80,000 audience members in the stands suddenly shouted in unison.

Qian Renxue was taken aback, then quickly cleared her mind of her chaotic thoughts. Whatever.

Looking at the cheers and responses of more than 80,000 people below, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. This was a feeling Qian Renxue had never experienced before. In the Spirit Hall, she was the young master; in the Heaven Dou Empire, she was the crown prince. In either of these roles, she would never have enjoyed such overwhelming support and status.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

So this is what true rights are?

Qian Renxue listened to the deafening shouts around her and slowly closed her eyes. Only after truly experiencing what it felt like to be a true king did she realize that everything she had done before was nothing more than child's play.

Today, there are only a mere 80,000 people here, which is just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Heaven Dou Empire and even the entire continent.

If the Spirit Hall were to unify the continent, how magnificent that would be! How radiant would the faith of the Angel race shine!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes as he watched Qian Renxue's retreating figure. He sensed that the other party's aura had changed slightly since earlier.

His aura, which had been slightly sharp and composed just moments before, suddenly became broad and profound. He had only ever seen this kind of profoundness in Pope Bibi Dong.

However, Bibi Dong's aura was the exact opposite of Qian Renxue's. The Pope's aura was heavy and also carried an endless, dark, and cold feeling, like a wild beast that might suddenly attack and devour people at any moment.

This is one of the reasons why these people fear Bibi Dong.

Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at the cheering audience below, and many of his doubts were immediately resolved.

.........

Shrek and his group, like defeated soldiers, walked out of the arena through the wide passage.

In the preliminary rounds of the Elite Soul Master Tournament, each team only needs to play one match per day. Their defeat today was so crushing that there's no point in them staying.

Because here, besides receiving sympathy, one will also be met with endless ridicule. These are precisely the two emotions Shrek wants to avoid.

"Yo yo yo! Isn't this the champion without any rivals?"

As expected, a slightly provocative voice rang in the ears of Shrek and his group.
