Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

He paused, then explained, "But there are already two support-type Soul Masters in the team. Ye Lingling is level 35, and Ning Rongrong is level 31. According to the Soul Power level, Miss Rapunzel can only be a substitute for now."

Zhilin added, "But that doesn't mean they're not strong enough. Substitute players participate in all training and have the same resources as regular players. As long as their soul power level exceeds that of the lowest among the current regular players, or they demonstrate sufficient strength in the internal assessment, they can be promoted to regular players at any time."

After the three education commissioners finished speaking, they all looked at Ge Duo.

This decision is reasonable; it gives Rapunzel the opportunity to join the team while upholding the team's rules and fairness. If Godo has any objections, it would only make her appear to be abusing her power.

But Ge Duo's reaction surprised the three education committee members.

Instead of showing any displeasure, she chuckled softly.

“Substitute player, very good.” Ge Duo’s voice carried a strange sense of satisfaction.

She turned to Rapunzel: "Rapunzel, do you have any objections?"

Rapunzel quickly shook her head: "No! I'm willing to start as a substitute."

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, but her eyes remained firm.

Chapter 320 Slaughter City

Rapunzel knew that her strength was still inferior to that of the members of the Heavenly Dou Team.

Ge Duo nodded in satisfaction and looked at the three education committee members again.

"The three education commissioners' arrangements are very appropriate." Her tone returned to its usual languid detachment.

"Rapunzel has good talent, but after all, I trained her alone at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so she still lacks practical experience and understanding of the Soul Master world. Letting her start as a substitute and gradually adapt to the team's rhythm is a good thing for her."

She paused, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Besides, I believe that with Rapunzel's talent, it won't be long before she surpasses some of the regular team members. At that time, becoming a regular member will be a natural progression."

These words, spoken casually, sent a chill down the spines of all three education commissioners.

Ge Duo was referring to some of the official team members. Although she didn't name names, they all understood the subtext in her words.

This mysterious titled Douluo has an extraordinary level of confidence in Rapunzel.

"In that case, it's settled then," Meng Shenji declared.

"Miss Rapunzel officially joins the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team today, and will participate in all training and activities as a substitute member."

He turned to Bai Baoshan and said, "Commissioner Bai, I'll leave the handover and arrangements for the team to you."

Bai Baoshan nodded: "I'll take Miss Rapunzel to the team to report for duty and complete the necessary procedures."

"Then I'll have to trouble Education Commissioner Bai." Ge Duo nodded slightly.

She turned to look at Rapunzel, a complex emotion flashing in her dark green eyes, but it was quickly replaced by her usual indifference.

"Rapunzel, from today onwards, you will study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Remember what I said, cultivate diligently, and do not waste your talent."

“Yes, teacher,” Rapunzel replied obediently.

“Go ahead.” Ge Duo waved her hand. “I have something to discuss with the Dream Education Committee and the Wisdom Education Committee privately.”

Rapunzel paused for a moment, then understood. What Godot was going to discuss with the three education committee members was probably transactions involving pills and resources, things she couldn't get involved in.

“Well… teacher, I’ll take my leave now.” Rapunzel bowed to Godot, then bowed to the three education committee members. “Education committee members, I’ll be leaving now.”

"Go ahead." Meng Shenji smiled gently. "The Education Committee has arranged everything."

Bai Baoshan walked up to Rapunzel and gestured for her to come with him: "Miss Rapunzel, please follow me."

Rapunzel glanced at Gadot one last time, only to find that Gadot had turned around and was talking to Meng Shenji with her back to her.

That figure remained upright, mysterious, and still evoked a complex mix of inexplicable peace and fear in her.

She took a deep breath and followed Bai Baoshan out of the office.

The door closed gently, separating the inside from the outside into two different worlds.

......

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...

The City of Slaughter, the Hellish Slaughter Arena.

This circular building resembles a huge graveyard, its exterior constructed of dark red rock, its surface covered with dried, blackened bloodstains.

Inside the building was a huge circular area with a diameter of over 100 meters, surrounded by towering stands, which were now packed with people—if those crazy-eyed, bloodthirsty guys could still be called human.

In the stands, thousands of eyes were fixed on the center of the field.

They are waiting.

Awaiting yet another bloody feast.

"Next match, the 8914th life-or-death duel!" A hoarse voice boomed throughout the arena through some kind of loudspeaker, "Contestant: White Fox, sixty-seven consecutive wins!"

"Ouch!"

A deafening roar erupted from the stands. The frenzied spectators waved their arms, their faces filled with near-manic excitement.

Sixty-seven consecutive wins is a legendary achievement in the Killing City.

There might not be one person alive who achieves this result in ten years.

"Other contestants: Bloodfang, 49 consecutive wins!"

"Scorpion, forty-eight consecutive wins!"

"Bone Shattering, forty-seven consecutive wins!"

……

As each name was announced, the atmosphere in the stands grew increasingly frenzied.

The nine individuals, each possessing a near-fifty-game winning streak, were among the most elite killers in the City of Slaughter.

But today, they are destined to become stepping stones for another legend.

"Enter!"

As the hoarse voice faded, the heavy iron gate of the Hell's Killing Fields slowly rose.

Ten figures entered the venue from different entrances.

Leading the way was a boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

He was tall and slender, dressed in a simple black outfit, which was covered in dark red bloodstains.

Those are the marks left by countless battles, marks that cannot be washed away.

His face was expressionless, only his eyes were eerily calm.

That was the look in his eyes that only came from countless life-or-death battles; there was no fear, no excitement, only pure calmness.

Lin Wan.

He walked into the arena, his gaze sweeping over the frenzied spectators in the stands before settling on the dark red ground beneath his feet.

This land is soaked in the blood of countless people; you can even feel a sticky texture when you step on it.

Behind him, nine figures entered the venue one after another.

Each of those nine people exuded a strong killing intent.

Some of them were burly, muscular men wielding giant axes.

Some were thin men with sinister eyes, toying with poisoned daggers in their hands.

Others were women with alluring faces, blood-red lips, and eerie purple nail polish.

But at this moment, the faces of these nine powerful figures, who were feared throughout the City of Slaughter, were not very good.

The three people's hands were trembling slightly.

The other six people, though trying to appear calm, couldn't hide the fear in their eyes.

Because they knew that in this battle, only one of them could walk out alive.

And that person is most likely not any of them.

"The rules remain the same!" the hoarse voice rang out again. "Only one person can remain in the arena within ten minutes! Begin!"

The moment the words fell, the nine people moved almost simultaneously.

Instead of rushing towards each other, they surrounded Lin Wan from nine different directions at top speed.

This was a tacit understanding, and also the only way out.

In the Hellish Killing Arena, there is an unwritten rule: when a player achieves a winning streak of over fifty matches, the other participants must prioritize teaming up to eliminate them. Otherwise, everyone will die.

Because they knew very well that they had no chance of winning against such a strong opponent in a one-on-one fight.

Only by joining forces can we have a chance of survival.

“Lin Wan…” The burly man wielding the giant axe, Blood Fang, licked his chapped lips, his voice hoarse, “Sixty-seven consecutive wins… that’s it for today.”

His voice was loud, as if he was trying to embolden himself.

Chapter 321 Slaughter

Lin Wan did not respond.

He didn't even glance at Bloodfang, but simply stood there quietly, his gaze calmly sweeping over the nine people surrounding him.

He was observing.

Observe their positions, observe their weapons, observe the fleeting fear in their eyes.

In the City of Slaughter, soul power and soul skills cannot be used.

This means that the battle has returned to its most primal form.

Strength, speed, skill, and most importantly, the determination to kill.

Lin Wan, on the other hand, has honed this skill to its highest level.

"kill!"

A loud shout broke the brief stalemate.

The one who made the first move was Poison Scorpion, a thin man with sinister eyes.
