Douluo: Reincarnation of Pineapple Blowing Snow, the Fruit Treasure returns!

On the high platform, Bibi Dong's face, which was originally high above and majestic, was now as gloomy as the leaden clouds before a storm.

"hateful……"

She stared intently at Lu Xiaoguo, who had been defeated, her eyes flashing with a complex struggle.

Lu Xiaoguo was originally a pawn on whom she placed high hopes. If she could shine in this competition, it would greatly help to enhance the prestige of the Spirit Hall.

But now, he has actually lost.

That fleeting struggle in her heart was nothing more than a momentary thing, quickly transforming into a chilling killing intent.

In her plan, there was no room for error; any factor that might disrupt the plan had to be eliminated. She pursed her thin lips, clenched her teeth tightly, and the muscles in her cheeks bulged slightly from the effort.

"Now that you've made your choice... don't blame me."

Despite the murderous intent surging within her, Bibi Dong maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.

She said nothing more, not even a sound, but slowly turned around. Her purple robe drew a cold arc in the air with her movement.

Her steps were steady yet carried a hint of determination as she walked step by step toward the back of the platform, leaving behind only a cold and resolute silhouette.
The match had just ended, and Lu Xiaoguo dragged her slightly tired body back to the Spirit Hall Academy's rest area.

Before he could even catch his breath, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan surrounded him with grim expressions.

Hu Liena struck first, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with anger and incomprehension, as she questioned:

"Lu Xiaoguo, why didn't you use your 100,000-year soul skill and go all out to defeat Pineapple Snow in the match? Do you know how important this match is to our Spirit Hall!"

Xie Yue chimed in with a cold expression, "Yes, it's a rare opportunity, yet you gave it up so easily. What were you thinking?"

Yan clenched his fists, his face filled with anger.

"This is disloyalty to the Spirit Hall, and a trampling of all our hard work!"

Lu Xiaoguo frowned slightly. Seeing that Hu Liena and the other two were still full of anger, he put on a serious face and said solemnly, "Calm down and listen to me. Even if I use my 100,000-year soul skill, it doesn't necessarily mean I can defeat Pineapple Snow."

Hu Liena looked on with suspicion, "How is that possible? A 100,000-year-old soul skill is incredibly powerful, don't make excuses!"

Lu Xiaoguo shook his head helplessly, "My 100,000-year soul skill is a bit strange. It can't be used directly like ordinary soul skills. It can only take effect when attached to a special object, and it can't be used directly in battle."

Lu Xiaoguo was vague and did not explicitly state that the so-called special artifact was Xiaoguo's Battle Treasure.

A hint of doubt flashed in Xie Yue's eyes, "Is there really such a strange soul skill? I've never heard of a 100,000-year soul skill with such restrictions."

Lu Xiaoguo shrugged. "Believe it or not, this soul skill was obtained by chance, and it's normal that the rules are special. Anyway, I've done my best."

"Moreover, that kid Pineapple Snow's strange soul skill took away my martial soul, I really have no choice."

Yan was still full of dissatisfaction. "But you should have explained it earlier. Now that we've lost the game, what's the point of saying all this!"

Hu Liena's gaze was fixed on Lu Xiaoguo, her eyes filled with suspicion and resentment, and she said in a sharp tone:

"Lu Xiaoguo, stop making excuses! I think you're just trying to fool Pineapple. How could a six-ring Soul Emperor lose to a five-ring Soul King? Besides, you have a hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill, how could you not have a chance of winning!"

Lu Xiaoguo felt a sense of helplessness. He knew that Hu Liena was angry at the moment and unlikely to listen to explanations.
But he still patiently explained:

“Hu Liena, things aren’t what you think. In Soul Master battles, Soul Power level isn’t the only deciding factor. Combat skills, on-the-spot adaptability, and the combination of Soul Skills are all crucial. Pineapple Snow’s Soul Skills and fighting style have a certain advantage over me. Even if I can use a 100,000-year Soul Skill, I can’t guarantee a sure win.”

Hu Liena sneered and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. Combat skills? On-the-spot adaptation? Those reasons are too far-fetched. If you hadn't gone easy on me, it's really hard to explain this defeat."

Her eyes were filled with distrust, as if Lu Xiaoguo had become a traitor to the Spirit Hall. (End of Chapter)
