Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

They didn't believe that a level 43 control-type Soul Master could single-handedly withstand a Soul Fusion Technique performed by two Soul Masters.

The enormous head of the Netherworld White Tiger turned to Lin Wan and arrogantly said, "You have every reason to be proud that you forced us to use the Netherworld White Tiger. But now, the game is over!"

Before the words were finished, the massive body of the Netherworld White Tiger, carrying an aura of crushing everything, suddenly pounced on Lin Wan, its sharp claws slashing out as if to tear space itself apart.

Just when everyone on the field thought the outcome was decided, Lin Wan, who was at a complete disadvantage, had a sharp glint in her eyes.

His fourth spirit ring, that black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, lit up instantly.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Nine-Tailed Moon Worship".

Lin Wan's voice was very soft, yet it seemed to carry a strange rhythm, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

In an instant, the air behind him distorted, and nine huge and magnificent fox tail phantoms appeared out of thin air, unfurling in the air and radiating a holy yet eerie glow.

The nine phantoms all made a gesture of worship towards the sky, drawing upon the power of the moonlight high above, even though it was daytime.

The light coalesced, and an enormous silver moon, several meters in diameter, slowly took shape behind Lin Wan.

The entire moon disc is composed of pure lunar energy and spiritual power, with sharp, blade-like glints flowing around its edges.

At the same time, the moon slowly rotated, emitting an extreme chill that seemed to freeze the soul, and the surrounding air was condensed into tiny ice crystals.

This sudden change and the terrifying energy contained in the moon caused the charging Netherworld White Tiger to abruptly stop.

For the first time, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in the eyes of the Netherworld White Tiger, which was controlled by the merged consciousness of Dai Linyu and Zhu Zhuyun.

"go."

Lin Wan raised her hand and gently pointed at the roaring, charging Netherworld White Tiger.

Chapter 112 Victory

As Lin Wan gave the command, the huge silver moon wheel behind him emitted a deep hum and then instantly rushed towards the Netherworld White Tiger.

The moon wheel did not strike in a straight line, but rather followed a mysterious trajectory. Like the moon revolving in the sky, it carried an irresistible power of heaven and earth as it crushed towards the Netherworld White Tiger.

The momentum of the Netherworld White Tiger's charge suddenly halted, and for the first time, an unprecedented solemnity appeared in its mixed beastly eyes.

From the approaching moon, it sensed a supreme and chilling power originating from the very source of heaven and earth. This power made its powerful martial soul body, which combined the killing intent of the White Tiger with the eeriness of the Netherworld, feel an instinctive unease and threat.

"Roar!"

There's no way to avoid it; the only option is to confront it head-on!

The Netherworld White Tiger let out a deafening roar, pushing the power of its fusion technique to its limit. Its body shone with a surge of platinum and dark light. Instead of retreating, it raised its giant claws, powerful enough to shatter mountains, and gathered all its energy to meet the crushing silver moon wheel head-on.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two extremely powerful forces collided with a deafening roar.

Rumble!!!

An indescribable roar erupted, the entire arena shook violently, and the protective light barrier rippled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment!

At the center of the collision between the moon disc and the tiger's claw, blinding silver light and chaotic platinum dark light intertwined, eroded, and annihilated each other!

The extreme cold and the violent killing intent clashed, producing a hissing sound that made one's teeth ache.

After a brief stalemate, the Netherworld White Tiger pressed its claws firmly against the moon wheel, attempting to tear it apart.

As the moon revolved, endless lunar energy surged against the white tiger's body like a tidal wave. Extreme cold spread, beginning to freeze its energy claws and arms. The spiritual power it contained ignored physical defenses, piercing into the minds of Dai Linyu and Zhu Zhuyun like an invisible dagger.

"Crack..."

A faint cracking sound rang out, not from the moon wheel, but from the energy body of the Netherworld White Tiger.

Fine cracks began to appear on the part of the Netherworld White Tiger that was frozen by the moonlight.

"No!"

A roar filled with resentment, a mixture of Dai Linyu's and Zhu Zhuyun's voices, emanated from the fused entity.

They couldn't believe that their once-proud Soul Fusion Technique would be destroyed by a Soul Master's fourth Soul Ring.

The moon's light intensified once more, and its rotation speed increased instantly.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, the massive energy fusion of the Netherworld White Tiger could no longer withstand the dual impact of the moonlight's erosion and the mental shock. Starting from its claws, it crumbled inch by inch, finally exploding with a thunderous roar.

A powerful energy storm swept around, tearing countless cracks into the arena floor.

Dai Linyu and Zhu Zhuyun were thrown backward from the center of the explosion, spitting blood as they flew through the air.

The backlash from the forced breaking of their Martial Soul Fusion, coupled with the impact of the remaining power of the Moon Wheel, caused them to completely lose consciousness. They fell heavily to the ground like broken dolls, their auras extremely weak.

The Netherworld White Tiger, a martial soul fusion skill, was directly defeated by Lin Wan's fourth soul skill, Nine-Tailed Moon Worship.

After destroying the Netherworld White Tiger, the silver moon wheel also exhausted its power and slowly dissipated into the air.

Lin Wan stood alone in the center of the chaotic arena, his face slightly pale. The continuous use of high-consumption soul skills, especially the final fourth soul skill, had put a considerable burden on him.

The entire room fell silent.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire training ground.

The outcome is decided.

The referee took several deep breaths to barely suppress the turmoil in his heart, and announced in a trembling voice: "The match is over! Tiandou Royal Academy Team wins!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, a deafening cheer erupted from the stands of the Heaven Dou Empire.

They won! They actually won!

Despite almost everyone's skepticism, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy actually defeated the powerful Star Luo Royal Academy!

They broke their long-standing curse of failure!

"We won! We won!" Outside the arena, Yu Tianqing, who had been healed by the healing soul master, shouted excitedly and hugged Ning Zetian tightly.

Yan Xin, Jiang Tao, and Ye Qing supported each other, their faces filled with unbelievable joy.

On the podium, the three education commissioners were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, and Meng Shenji even stood up abruptly.

A complex light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, a mixture of surprise, admiration, and an indescribable solemnity.

This Lin Wan is far more terrifying than she imagined.

In stark contrast to the jubilation on the Tiandou side was the area where the Xingluo delegation was located.

Zhu Tianlin's face was ashen. The slight joy he had felt from obtaining the pill had vanished, replaced by an undisguised gloom and anger.

The veins on the back of his hand, resting on the armrest of his chair, were visibly prominent. This defeat was not merely a loss in an academy exchange competition, but also a blow to the reputation of the Star Luo Empire, especially since it came at a time when he had just reached a potential cooperation agreement with Ge Duo.

Davis's face was equally grim. He stared intently at Lin Wan, who was the center of attention, his eyes filled with gloom.

"Let's go." Zhu Tianlin's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth. He abruptly stood up, not glancing at the arena again, and turned to leave.

Davis and the other members of the Star Luo delegation followed immediately. The group left in silence amidst a sea of ​​celebration, their backs looking particularly stiff and awkward.

Zhu Tianlin's mind was in turmoil. He had to send a message back home immediately to explain the unexpected failure to Emperor Dai Tianfeng.

Lin Wan's sudden emergence, her fourth ring of ten thousand years, and her strangely powerful combat strength must all be highlighted.

This defeat may disrupt some of the Empire's plans, but it may also make the Empire place greater emphasis on its cooperation with His Majesty Godot.

After all, only by gaining greater power can we cope with the uncertainties that may arise in the future.

……

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, in the bedchamber of the Snow Night Emperor.

Despite being unwell and unable to attend in person, Emperor Xueye kept track of the match through real-time messages from his trusted guards.

When news of the Royal Academy's victory arrived, a rare flush of excitement appeared on the pale face of the emperor, who had long been troubled by illness and state affairs.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even coughed because of his excitement.

"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Xueye said three times, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction and excitement.

"The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has finally had its moment of glory! What a Lin Wan! What a ten-thousand-year-old fourth-ring cultivator! Queen Eva's cousin has truly given Heavenly Dou a tremendous surprise! Hahaha!"

This victory came at the perfect time, greatly boosting the morale of the Heavenly Dou Empire and bringing glory to the emperor.

Chapter 113 The Undercurrents of Heavenly Struggle

Emperor Xueye had even begun to consider how to reward the Tiandou team, especially Lin Wan, who had made the greatest contribution.

Gold and silver treasures, titles and fiefdoms all seem rather cliché.

Given Lin Wan's extraordinary talent, and the mysterious young man from His Majesty Gedo who seems to be behind him, how should he be rewarded in a way that both demonstrates the Emperor's boundless grace and truly binds him firmly to the interests of the Empire?

This requires him to think it over carefully.

However, the emperor, who had long lived in seclusion in the palace, did not realize that the impact of this victory went far beyond boosting morale and his personal satisfaction.

Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it stirred up ripples in the seemingly stable power structure of Tiandou City, and began to subtly change the direction of the undercurrents beneath the surface.

Within Tiandou City, news of Lin Wan's miraculous turn of events spread like wildfire. Amidst the cheers and jubilation, many astute nobles, court officials, and even the heads of various Soul Master families began to involuntarily turn their gaze to the depths of that magnificent palace, to Queen Eva, whose influence had been growing day by day in recent years, and her daughter, Snow White.

It is common knowledge that Lin Wan is Queen Eva's cousin.

Queen Eva not only enjoys the Emperor's deep trust and manages the inner court affairs, but her daughter, Snow White, is also a once-in-a-century genius of the empire. She possesses innate full soul power, a mutated top-tier martial soul, and became a Great Soul Master at the age of six. Her talent is rare in the world.

In the past, although Snow White was incredibly talented, she was still young and a princess. Although the Imperial Succession Law did not explicitly exclude women, the millennia-old tradition had always placed men in a position of esteem.

Therefore, most people are taking a wait-and-see approach, and the focus of investment remains on the young, energetic, and stable Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

But now, things seem to be a little different.

Lin Wan's sudden emergence was like a shot in the arm, allowing everyone to see the terrifying potential contained within the Eva lineage.

Lin Wan, whose talent rivals Snow White's and is even more enigmatic in some aspects, is almost certain to reach the level of a Title Douluo.

A future Title Douluo, and such a young one at that, is enough to make any force reconsider its position.

Moreover, Queen Eva herself does not seem to be as simple as she appears. Her ability to remain firmly in the position of empress and gradually seize some power when Emperor Xueye was in poor health demonstrates her skill.

Furthermore, she seems to have a close relationship with Her Majesty Gedo, who can refine miraculous elixirs...

All of this combined has significantly increased the weight of Eva and Snow White's forces on the power scales of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Although Prince Xue Qinghe is good, he is not very talented and his maternal clan is not powerful."

Such whispers began to emerge in certain private circles.
