Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 67 Brother Dong, Please Replace Me
Looking at the woman in black on the city wall, Lin Dong's mouth twitched and he whispered, "You came at the right time to watch this great show."

"Zhu Ling, Dai Hao has been guarding the border for so many years, and he has made great contributions. In addition, your two sons have entered the participating teams for this competition, so I took the initiative to send Jiujiu to invite you. Please don't blame me for the tiring journey."

Hearing Xu Jiawei's words, the Duchess bowed slightly and said in a cold tone:

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am grateful to you for letting the princess condescend to come to me. How dare I blame you?"

Looking at Xu Jiawei's extremely official smile, Zhu Ling asked tentatively:

"Your Majesty. Why don't I see Yuheng? Is he not going to play?"

Xu Jiawei's face trembled slightly, and he said calmly:
"I don't know the specific situation, but it is said that the academy encountered some accidents. For the upcoming competition, the news has not been released yet."

The Duchess's expression changed when she heard this, but realizing the situation, she suppressed her emotions and nodded.

After the conversation among a few people fell into silence, the game on the stage had ended, and the atmosphere among the audience in the stands had been completely ignited, with endless cheers ringing out.

"That's right! Shrek's game isn't even half as good as Sun and Moon's. What I love most is the sound of artillery fire and explosions. Fire as hard as you can!"

"You're right. If we don't see the smoke of war, what's the point of the strong confrontation? If Shrek keeps bullying the weak, I'm going to bet on Sun and Moon."

"Bet the opposite way. The villa is by the sea. Just bet hard on the sun and the moon. I bet three hundred, Shrek!"

“Hahaha, you old thief, you support Sun and Moon with your mouth, but you turn around and suppress Shrek. I will also give Shrek 500 gold soul coins!”

"Isn't this nonsense? The red-dressed girl at Shrek looks terrifyingly strong. If you really want to make money, you have to bet on Shrek!"

In the rest area, looking at the dusty Ma Rulong and his companions, Lin Dong put away the grim smile on his face and joked to Lin Xi:
"It seems that without my spirit skills, your control of timing is not very accurate, Senior Lin Xi."

Lin Xi blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Hehe, I feel unfamiliar, unfamiliar. It's really not easy to play without you."

Micah also sighed with some regret:

"Alas, what a pity for our invincible shield."

Ma Rulong slapped him on the back of the head in annoyance:

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't missed the target, would we have ended up with a cannonball exchange?"

Micah laughed dryly with an unnatural look on his face:

"Normally someone takes the aim, and I'm just responsible for firing. I'm not used to not having the aim this time."

Ma Rulong rolled his eyes at him and curled his lips, "Then how come Mingdu College can be so accurate?"

Lin Dong immediately stepped forward and waved his hand to stop him:

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. We've already won anyway. Everyone makes mistakes. Didn't Micah use his shield to block a cannon for Xiao Xiafeng in the end? Besides, it's not like you didn't make any mistakes at all. Since we've won, there's no need to dwell on it."

Lin Dong's words were obviously quite important. Ma Rulong frowned and nodded, saying:
"I was just joking with him, but we have consumed so many invincible shields. I am afraid that accidents may happen easily in the next game."

"Well, don't worry about that. My invincible shield won't be used for the time being, so I can give it to Xiao Xiafeng. However, Micah, Chen An, and Chen Fei may have to be careful in the next game."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiafeng cast a kind look towards Lin Dong, but was interrupted when he was about to speak:

"You're welcome, Senior Xia Feng. You are the auxiliary spirit master in the team. Although your defensive ability is weak, it is extremely important. I can't play for the time being due to my own reasons, so it is reasonable for me to give you the invincible shield."

Xiao Xiafeng could only nod upon seeing this, and clasped his fists at him. The other qualifying team members, seeing Lin Dong taking the lead, also took the initiative to hand over their invincible shields to the remaining regular team members.

Recalling the game just now, Mingdu Soul Guide Academy also has all its members configured as Soul Kings, and there is essentially no difference between the soul guides of the two schools.

However, the people of Sun and Moon were already accustomed to the self-aiming and command-following style of play, and failed to seize the opportunity to disrupt the opponent's formation at the beginning, resulting in a passionate confrontation between the two sides.

Since the invincible shields of both sides were used up in the first wave of confrontation, the Sun and Moon team relied on the spiritual performance of Ma Rulong and Micah and eventually won the victory easily.

On the way back to the hotel, Micah looked troubled. Lin Dong asked softly:
"Are you still thinking about the shot from the sky in the morning? You have already made up for your mistake by blocking that shot for Xiao Xiafeng at the critical moment. If it weren't for you, our regular team might have temporarily lost a food support soul mentor."

Xiao Xiafeng also turned around and smiled, "Yes, Mika, today it's all thanks to you. If the guy on the opposite side had hit me with his full force attack without the invincible shield at that time, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn't die."

Mika shook his head and said softly, "I'm not blaming myself." Then he looked at Lin Dong with complicated eyes:

"If I hadn't blocked it for Xiao Xiafeng today, I would have almost been pinned down by the Soul King on the opposite side."

Lin Xi turned around and smiled carelessly, "What are you thinking about, Micah? If anyone is to blame, it's me, a defensive spirit master, who failed to do my job and rushed too far ahead. If Lao Xiao wants to find someone to settle the score, it's me."

"I know that, but don't you think we've been a little too dependent on Lin Dong? We are much older than him, but we fought so recklessly today. This is not the strength we should display."

Seeing Mika's serious expression, Lin Xi also put away the smile on his face and nodded seriously:

"The main reason is that we have been relying on Lin Dong's command for the past six months. Basically, we attack wherever he points. Now that he is no longer in charge, we have indeed made a lot of mistakes. Okay, I admit that it is a bit embarrassing. Brother Dong, why don't you replace me!"

Lin Dong glanced at him speechlessly and said in a calm tone:
"I've already said that I don't plan to play for the time being. Captain Ma's command is also very good, so it won't matter if I play or not."

"How can they be the same? One communicates without delay, and the other relies on voice. The gongs and drums were deafening on the field today. The captain told me not to rush too far forward, but I couldn't hear it at all. And what if the opponent has a soul guide like the captain that can interfere with the five senses? "

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Mika and Xiao Xiafeng nodded like little birds pecking at rice:

"Yes, Lin Dong. Without you, our battles will never be as easy as before."
