The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 203 Starting with the difficult and then moving to the easy will prevent a disaster (Two chapters today, a massive update of over 50,000 words tomorrow)

Hearing Li Xun's words, Ning Rongrong, who was lying on the bed, pouted and her eyes flashed: "Hmph! Then let's see if Zhu Qing will treat you well or not."

Li Xun hummed a little tune, looking every bit the spoiled young master. He slipped into Zhu Zhuqing's barracks in a flash, then tackled her to the ground amidst her gasp and pinned her to the bed with the blanket.

He learned this trick from Ning Rongrong, and it never fails.

"Why are you here? Didn't Ning Rongrong go to your place?" Feeling Li Xun's weight, Zhu Zhuqing shifted uncomfortably and blinked.

"She took my room and made me sleep on the floor. Now I have nowhere to stay, so I had to come to you." Feeling the soft touch under the thin blanket, Li Xun's heart fluttered, and then he closed his eyes in enjoyment.

Sensing that Li Xun was being somewhat dishonest, Zhu Zhuqing's fair earlobes instantly turned bright red, and her eyes became somewhat evasive. She whispered, "Then... Rongrong's barracks will be empty, won't it?"

"Fine! Even you're kicking me out." Li Xun was heartbroken and buried her head to cry, but perhaps because she hadn't fully prepared her emotions, she soon burst out laughing.

Sensing Li Xun's increasingly restless movements, Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned red, her body trembled, and she subconsciously shrank into a ball, preparing to use the matter at hand to awaken his conscience: "Brother Li Xun, the competition starts tomorrow. I'll go help you tidy up your room in a bit."

"."

Although Li Xun's conscience was not strong, his continuous appeals over twenty minutes still had some effect.

boom-

Zhu Zhuqing shoved him out of the room, and as he heard the door close behind him, Li Xun felt extremely dissatisfied: "You, Zhu Zhuqing, how dare you bully me because I'm young and weak? I'm made of steel, strong and muscular, how can you measure me by my age? I'll count to three and open the door now."

After Li Xun finished speaking, hearing no sign of the door opening behind him, he snorted, "Zhu Zhuqing, have you thought about the consequences of this? You wait and I'll tolerate you for a few more years."

"Hey! Who's this? They got kicked out!"

Just as Li Xun was lingering in front of Zhu Zhuqing's door, a pleasant voice came from the side.

Li Xun coughed lightly and straightened his clothes: "Sister Yan, there's no such thing as rushing. It's just that there's a competition tomorrow, and I don't want to disturb her rest."

"I heard everything, why are you still pretending?" Dugu Yan chuckled, deciding to tease Li Xun.

She then gracefully walked to Li Xun's side and breathed into Li Xun's ear: "I'm not kicking you out, would you like to come in and sit down?"

A warm current entered his ear, but it seemed to surge into his heart. Li Xun was initially tempted, but when he thought of Ning Rongrong, that jealous woman, and Zhu Zhuqing, he suppressed the heat in his heart.

Start with the difficult parts and move on to the easier ones; never let small things cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture.

Of the three, Ning Rongrong is the most difficult to deal with. Li Xun grew up with her and has long since figured out her personality. Although she usually seems a bit pushover, she's very principled. If he doesn't win Ning Rongrong over first, he might very well end up in trouble.

Li Xun composed himself and said seriously, "Sister Yan, it's getting late, and there's a competition tomorrow, so I won't go. You should get some rest too."

"What? You were just bullying Zhu Qing, but now you're all high and mighty when it comes to me? What do you mean by that?"

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, grabbed Li Xun's left hand with one hand, and pinched his waist with the other. She had only intended to tease him as usual, but she hadn't expected Li Xun to refuse so decisively today.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, the heat that Li Xun had just suppressed instantly rebounded, but then the pain in his waist broke the idyllic feeling.

Li Xun winced in pain, turned around and pulled Dugu Yan into his arms, pinching her buttock hard with his right hand: "It's not time yet. I'll make a note of this for you, and I'll deal with you later."

Dugu Yan was stunned by Li Xun's sudden boldness and stood there dumbfounded until a hot hand covered her buttocks and she felt a sharp pain before she came to her senses.

With her cheeks flushed and eyes moist, Li Xun knew she had no choice but to run away upon seeing this. She quickly used her teleportation technique to escape back to her room and locked the door.

Something almost happened.

The next morning.

Under the watchful eyes of nearly 20,000 royal knights, the fifteen teams slowly entered the school grounds.

Seeing the knights clad in gleaming silver armor, forming a dazzling high wall around them, these once-proud geniuses of the continent all felt the pressure.

Once people cross the vast expanse, even a Soul Master, unless their cultivation reaches a certain level, wouldn't dare say they could escape such a dense encirclement, let alone the Royal Knights, who are a half-Soul Master army.

"The competition rules are the same as drawing lots to determine who will be opponents. Each team can send one player to the stage until one side defeats the entire opposing team or concedes defeat. Each team plays one match per day until fourteen rounds are completed."

After reading the rules, Chrysanthemum Douluo turned around and gestured to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's gaze swept over all the teams, and she paused when she saw Yu Xiaogang before turning her gaze back: "Let's begin the draw now."

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

After saying this, Bibi Dong closed her eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Gang has grown old, and no one knows what happened to him. At this moment, his face is haggard, his clothes are disheveled, and he is completely unlike the arrogant person Bibi Dong remembers. He exudes an air of old age.

After the draw, the team captains returned to their designated areas. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, the sole person in charge of the empire, stood up and said, "The competition is now officially starting. I hope everyone will fully demonstrate their potential in the upcoming matches. After the competition, the teams that perform exceptionally well will receive additional rewards from the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and may even be able to join the Royal Knights without further assessment."

"Long live, long live, long live!" As the words fell, nearly 20,000 royal knights in the training ground immediately roared in unison, impacting everyone present like a landslide or tsunami.

Under such intense pressure, some trainees with weak wills turned pale and their legs went weak, causing them to kneel on the ground.

"The first match is Shrek Academy versus Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Please send your teams into the arena." Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the match list in his hand, his lips twitching.

What a coincidence! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must have cheated again, but they clearly drew the lots right in front of me.

Upon hearing that they would once again encounter the Heaven Dou Team at the start of the game, a cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. Only now did he realize that they had been tricked.

"Master, what are the arrangements?" Dai Mubai frowned and turned to ask Yu Xiaogang.

"Let's concede this one. The qualifying rounds don't involve elimination. We should conserve our strength and prepare for the finals."

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "The main purpose of this qualifying tournament is to select talent and showcase our strength. For us, losing one or two matches won't matter much."

"No, we have to fight this battle." Tang San's expression was resolute.
