Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 121 The Two Women Conspire to Go to Tianshui Academy

Several days later, on the back mountain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy

"Go faster, your teamwork is still too clumsy."

Ji Wuming was using the Wave-Treading Mountain and Sea Steps to continuously evade the attacks of Dugu Yan and her six-person group. Neither Dugu Yan's control-type soul skills nor the Shi brothers' martial soul fusion skills could trap Ji Wuming.

"Graphite, stone mill, Yang Yong, you two are responsible for restraining him. Lingling, heal us. Zhuqing, we'll use that move."

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, everyone immediately understood her meaning and quickly formed a 1-2-2-1 formation.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Rock Domain Poison Array."

As Dugu Yan unleashed her fifth soul skill, the trio of Shi Mo at the forefront immediately unleashed their strongest soul skills. Yang Yong took charge of the attack, keeping Ji Wuming preoccupied, while Shi Mo and Shi Mo used the opportunity created by Yang Yong to...

Using the Xuanwu tortoise shells on their bodies, they quickly constructed a constantly rotating Xuanwu tortoise shell energy shield in the outer area of ​​the two's battle, trapping Ji Wuming.

Less than a second later, Dugu Yan shouted,

"withdraw."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless rock cones suspended in mid-air shot down from above, aiming directly at Ji Wuming below.

At this moment, Ji Wuming chuckled softly.

"Trapped me? You really think you can trap me by sacrificing one person? How ridiculous."

"The first soul skill, the second soul skill."

Ji Wuming swiftly unleashed his first two soul skills, completely shattering the Xuan Turtle Trapping Formation. The Graphite and Millstone, who should have retreated, were also blasted away by the broken formation.

Ji Wuming swept his attack across the area, sending Yang Yong flying out of the range of Dugu Yan's fifth soul skill, thus preventing unpredictable damage to Yang Yong from the skill.

He then quickly spun the Blood Thunder Spear held in front of his chest, using his skillful footwork to easily dodge some of the stone spikes' attacks.

However, just as Ji Wuming was swinging his spear to knock down some of the incoming stone spikes, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been waiting for a long time, had already landed on one of the rapidly falling stone spikes.

"Third Soul Skill, Netherworld Annihilation Strike."

In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's figure vanished from Ji Wuming's sight and disappeared into the darkness.

Just as a huge stone cone was about to fall, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared amidst the flying rocks. Her hands transformed into tiger claws, and she charged towards Ji Wuming from the side.

"Little sister, using the power generated by your fifth soul skill to allow Zhu Qing's third soul skill to be perfectly executed, thereby achieving the goal of attacking me at close range, not bad, a good idea, but not enough."

Seizing the opportunity, Ji Wuming leaped into the air, successfully dodging Zhu Zhuqing's attack. He then spun around and, with the resilient shaft of his Blood Thunder Spear, swept Zhu Zhuqing away.

At the same time, Ji Wuming, utilizing the flight ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, increased his speed and unleashed the Wave-Treading Mountain and Sea Steps.

"Little sister, you've lost."

Standing on the Soul Battle Platform, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling stared in utter shock at Ji Wuming, who was holding a battle spear and had come up behind Dugu Yan.

At this moment, with Dugu Yan, the control-type Soul Master among the six, being attacked, their training with Ji Wuming came to an end.

"Yanyan, your teamwork with Zhuqing was pretty good. If you had timed it a little more precisely, I might have been the one to fall for it."

Dugu Yan was happy to accept Ji Wuming's explanation, but she was still pleased with Ji Wuming's current strength.

"Wu Ming, with your current strength, you should be able to take on seven opponents at once in the All-Continent Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament. In that case, I feel that this year's Soul Master Tournament is meaningless and I have no expectations at all."

"No, I have already spoken with the three education committee members about this Soul Master Competition. I will participate in the competition as the team leader and member, so the main force of the Soul Master Competition will still be the six of you."

Upon hearing this, the six team members looked surprised, as they had not expected Ji Wuming to participate in the Soul Master Competition in this way.

"Has the competition organizing committee approved your role as team leader?"

"Of course I agree. The team leader is essentially no different from the team member. As long as the rules of the Soul Master Competition are not violated, the organizing committee can't say anything."

In reality, given the overall strength of their Heaven Dou Royal Team One, they no longer need a team leader. Besides, which teacher could possibly be their team leader?

The three major education commissions? That's impossible.

However, the Soul Master Competition still needs a team leader to handle the team's daily affairs, so Ji Wuming had to take on this role as well.

Seeing Ji Wuming so happy, Dugu Yan said seriously,

"Wu Ming, there's less than six months until the Soul Master Competition. Why don't we go find other academies to spar with?"

"Um

Uh, this—

Ji Wuming hesitated for a moment, then spoke decisively.

"I originally planned to take you to the Great Soul Arena, but with your current strength, there are probably very few Soul Master teams of equal strength that can challenge you there."

"Then the only option is to go to other colleges for friendly competitions."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Lingling glanced at Dugu Yan, and the two women smiled at each other. Then Ye Lingling spoke.

"Brother Ji, our Tiandou Royal Academy team was defeated by the Tianshui Academy team before. Why don't we go to Tianshui Academy for a sparring match? With you here, we can help Yan Yan regain the face she lost."

"What, Tianshui Academy?"

Upon hearing this, the two women focused on observing the hesitation and timidity in Ji Wuming's eyes. They became even more smug, thinking that he hadn't explained Bing'er's situation clearly, and now he was panicking, but it was too late.

Dugu Yan walked up to Ji Wuming, took his hand, and advised him,

"Wu Ming, Bing'er and the others are my good sisters. No matter who wins or loses the sparring match, they would never hurt us, so you don't need to worry about this."

"Uh, if word gets out that two Soul Kings are bullying seven Soul Masters, it will be bad for the reputation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Seeing Ji Wuming's state, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling became even more furious. What a lame excuse—a bad reputation!

If they hadn't known about Shui Bing'er's relationship with Ji Wuming, they might have actually used that as an excuse not to go to Tianshui Academy.

Moreover, the two of them had already discussed it with Shui Bing'er. When Ji Wuming returned, the three of them would definitely punish this fickle scumbag.

Seeing that Ji Wuming didn't want to go, Dugu Yan asked angrily,

"Wu Ming, why are you so opposed to going to Tianshui Academy? Is there some secret you're hiding there? Or do you have someone there?"

"No, no, no, how could that be?"

For the first time, Ji Wuming felt a deep sense of lingering fear.
