Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 78: Thirty thousand years, why should I be afraid of it?
“Ten thousand years.”

The Colosseum was completely silent, with only the occasional gasp of surprise being heard.

They all thought that Ling Shuang would most likely challenge a soul beast over a thousand years old, but they didn't expect that he would directly challenge a soul beast that was ten thousand years old.

You must know that even the most ordinary ten thousand year soul beast, except for the outliers like the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, even a soul beast that is exactly ten thousand years old is enough to compete with the average Soul Emperor.

In their impression, Ling Shuang was just a soul master who had just reached level 50.

Even if he obtained the fifth soul ring during this period, that is, a Soul King who had just broken through to level 50, it seemed a bit too arrogant to challenge a ten thousand year old soul beast that could at least compete with a Soul Emperor.

Du Weilun, who was in charge of presiding over the assessment and also serving as the referee, didn't know what to do for a moment and could only turn his gaze to Dean Yan Shaozhe sitting on the judging panel on the high platform.

The battle with soul beasts is ever-changing, not to mention that this is a ten thousand year level soul beast. Du Weilun cannot guarantee that he will be able to take action in time.

If anything happened to a genius of Ling Shuang's level, he couldn't take responsibility.

Yan Shaozhe noticed the gaze from Du Weilun.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly.

Challenging a higher level is certainly difficult for ordinary people, but this kind of challenge that at least jumps one level is even more difficult.

But Yan Shaozhe felt that it might be possible for a genius like Ling Shuang who could not be judged by common sense.

He also wanted to see how far Ling Shuang could go.

The gap in strength during the last freshman assessment was so huge that it was impossible to discern the specific situation.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe agreed, Du Weilun no longer hesitated and asked people to prepare to call out the soul beast.

After a while, the ten thousand year soul beast did not appear, but instead a rough and dissatisfied voice sounded.

"Who picked the ten thousand year old soul beast? Isn't this nonsense?"

"The second-year promotion assessment still requires a ten-thousand-year soul beast. The students are ignorant, and you adults are also ignorant. How can you agree to such a thing?"

The red-haired, stocky old man had a scowl on his face.

He looked at Du Weilun and glared at him fiercely: "Du Weilun, why don't you explain yourself and let the second-year students fight against the ten thousand year soul beast? How could you possibly think of doing this?"

Du Weilun felt aggrieved when the old man pointed at his nose and scolded him, but he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

The red-haired old man is called Gong Changlong. He is the person in charge of the Shrek Academy Colosseum and is also a Titled Douluo. His status is definitely higher than that of Du Weilun, the head of the grade.

Du Weilun could only smile bitterly and explain: "Mr. Gong, this is what the dean meant..."

"Dean?" Gong Changlong was stunned at first, then turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe on the podium.

Although Gong Changlong also questioned You Yan Shaozhe, his tone was obviously much better.

"Dean, what about you?"

Even if it was Yan Shaozhe, he would never summon the ten thousand year soul beast unless he explained the reason.

Isn't this ridiculous?!

In response to Gong Changlong's question, Yan Shaozhe simply pointed at Ling Shuang who was looking at him from the center of the Colosseum and said, "Master Gong, the one challenging you this time is student Ling Shuang."

"What's the matter with Lingshuang or not, I..." Before he could finish his words, Gong Changlong suddenly remembered something and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Ling Shuang, isn't this the evil new student mentioned at the Sea God Pavilion meeting?!
It is said that he had already reached the Soul Sect level of 49 last semester. After so much time has passed, it seems that it is not impossible for him to break through to the Soul King level.

If it were him, challenging a ten thousand year old soul beast wouldn't seem like a joke.

Gong Changlong narrowed his eyes slightly and came to the center of the Colosseum, in front of Ling Shuang.

The aura of the Titled Douluo was slightly released, and a powerful pressure rushed towards Ling Shuang.

However, Ling Shuang's expression remained unchanged.

Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Gong Changlong's eyes.

"Boy, are you sure you want to challenge the ten thousand year soul beast?"

Ling Shuang said calmly: "Well, senior, don't worry about it. I know my limits."

Gong Changlong didn't say anything else, but stared at Ling Shuang with his majestic eyes. Ling Shuang's expression was calm, and she didn't avoid the gaze of this Titled Douluo.

After a moment, Gong Changlong withdrew his gaze and laughed loudly: "Good boy, I like guys like you who are so courageous at such a young age. Wait!"

After saying that, Gong Changlong turned around and returned to the backstage of the Colosseum.

After about five minutes, the western gate of the Colosseum slowly opened.

A low growl sounded slowly, and even before the person appeared, he already revealed a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Is this the ten thousand year old soul beast? Just the sound alone makes me feel terrified!"

In the audience, many freshmen looked slightly pale.

The oppressive feeling from a ten thousand year old soul beast is more terrifying than that from a soul master of the same level.

A huge claw stretched out from the darkness, followed by a huge figure about five meters tall.

Lion-shaped, with dark red hair with red-gold flames burning at the ends.

White air was inhaled and exhaled with each breath, and the pair of huge beast eyes were fixed on Ling Shuang in front of him, full of pure hunting intent.

"Roar!"

The lion-shaped soul beast opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, and the soul beasts backstage in the Colosseum knelt down one after another.

The lion-like soul beast is known as the king of beasts.

This roar is their classic symbol.

The ten thousand year level lion-shaped soul beast is undoubtedly the one that stands at the top among the soul beasts in this Colosseum.

When the lion king gets angry, all the beasts submit!

In the spectator seats, some students with poor psychological endurance felt their legs go weak and they were unable to stand up.

Even if they didn't face it directly, they could still feel the suffocating and terrifying feeling of deterrence!

When Du Weilun saw the soul beast, he frowned and turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe on the platform again.

When in doubt, go to the boss.

At this time, Yan Shaozhe also frowned slightly.

He looked at the edge of the Colosseum, where Gong Changlong folded his arms across his chest, his face filled with anticipation.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Shaozhe slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Du Weilun took a deep breath and spoke slowly:
"Student Lingshuang, your opponent this time is the 30,000-year-old Golden Flame Lion King. Do you need to change?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

A 30,000-year-old soul beast? !

This is a top-level soul beast that is capable of rivaling a high-level soul saint. It is completely not on the same level as a ten thousand year soul beast!
Is the academy crazy? They actually released a 30,000-year-old apex predator soul beast as an opponent?!
Almost everyone thought Ling Shuang would choose to change.

After all, no matter how talented he is, he is only a Soul King. It might be possible for him to fight against a 10,000-year-old soul beast that is comparable to a Soul Emperor, but it is still too outrageous for him to fight against a 30,000-year-old top predator soul beast that is comparable to a high-level Soul Sage!
however……

Ling Shuang shook her head slightly, her cold and noble face still calm.

"No, this is it."

A staff flashing with brilliant purple and green light slowly emerged in his hand.

Five strange soul rings of purple, green, purple, green and purple slowly rose.

Ling Shuang was not afraid at all, but instead was full of fighting spirit.

For thirty thousand years, we have never been invincible.

Why should I fear it?
