Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 229 A death wish… Ah!

On the judges' panel, Xue Qinghe looked at Bibi Dong, who was separated by a ring, with a complex emotion on his face.

He then narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at the white fish, and said with a smile:

"Brother Bai, this Holy Son is truly favored. His Holiness the Pope even took the time to observe you during his sermon."

Baiyu touched his nose, cursing inwardly that the little angel had sharp eyes; she had noticed just a glance.

"Hehe, Brother Qinghe is joking. As a Holy Son, it is only natural for His Majesty to glance at me."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he immediately recalled the scene when he spent time with Bibi Dong the day before yesterday. At that time, he joked with Bibi Dong and said, "How about I give you a couple's bow when we have the finals?"
Bibi Dong was shocked. She grabbed Bai Yu by the neck and told him that if he dared to do that, she would run away!
That's why Bibi Dong was looking at Bai Yu nervously just now, afraid that he might do something stupid and make a fool of himself.

Xue Qinghe looked somewhat suspicious. Although Bai Yu's statement made sense, she felt something was off.

Her older sister's gaze didn't seem like a casual glance; it was more like she was very concerned about what Baiyu might do.

"Look, the match has started!"

Baiyu pointed to the arena, signaling 'Xue Qinghe' to hurry up and watch the match instead of staring at him.

Xue Qinghe gave a barely perceptible hum, glancing towards the arena. At the same time, she thought to herself, "This bastard is definitely hiding something from me, but unfortunately, I can't ask him now."

This morning's competition was a singles round-robin tournament. The three teams took turns sending their players up on stage, and the team whose players were left on stage at the end would win.

The remaining two teams will compete in a team battle in the afternoon to determine the third place winner.

Tomorrow, the winning team will face off against the winner of the individual competition in a team battle to determine the champion.

Originally, Shrek Academy's team wanted to follow Yu Xiaogang's instructions and forfeit during the individual competition.

But Baiyu disagreed. He felt that such an opportunity to fight a Soul King safely was rare outside. He didn't care about winning or losing; more combat experience would be good.

As for the Kamikaze team, they also submitted an application to withdraw from the competition this morning, but when Mai Shiranui heard that Shrek Academy hadn't withdrawn, she gritted her teeth and withdrew her application.

This led to the scene we see today, with three teams participating in a singles round-robin tournament simultaneously.

However, although Shrek and Kamikaze participated in the match, and even during the match, the two teams seemed to be joining forces against each other.

But ultimately they couldn't defeat the Spirit Hall team. With Hu Liena not playing, Xie Yue, as the last member of the team, completely ended this one-on-one match.

However, the efforts of both teams were evident. Through various tactical maneuvers, they wore down the Spirit Hall team to just two players.

After a midday break, the afternoon team competition officially began.

"We meet again, Zhu Zhuqing. This time, I will not lose to you again."

Huo Wu stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes filled with fighting spirit. She refused to believe that they could lose this time, given their advantage.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with helplessness. She just couldn't understand where Huo Wu got such a strong competitive spirit. Even if she won, what difference would it make?

"Since you're so confident, then let's fight."

Then both sides released their martial spirits, each seeking out an opponent, and began to fight.

After such a long competition, everyone on both teams knows each other inside and out. They know everyone's abilities like the back of their hand, so the outcome of this battle is really hard to predict. Shrek's advantage lies in Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's pseudo-domain skills, while Shenfeng has the advantage of having two more Soul Masters than Shrek.

That's right, there are two more Soul Masters. Because in the past few days, Tang San has been training diligently and has finally broken through to the Soul Master level. After asking Bai Yu for a Soul Ring, he reached level 41.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Shaping Hardening!"

With a low shout from Tang San, a layer of light armor appeared on all seven members of Shrek Academy, providing them with considerable defensive capabilities.

His fourth soul skill is the same as Bai Yu's soul skill, except that its lifespan is slightly shorter, not reaching ten thousand years.

Tang San chose this soul skill after careful consideration.

After all, his second soul skill, although its attributes are not quite right, is still a parasitic soul skill. He can achieve the same effect as the white fish.

So Tang San shamelessly asked Bai Yu for the Soul Gathering Seal of the Thousand Machine Iron Tree.

To be honest, when it comes to being flexible and adaptable, this guy has really hit rock bottom. When he asked Bai Yu for the Soul Gathering Seal, he was practically begging for a ride!

With Tang San's defensive support, the Shrek Seven Devils fought more aggressively, abandoning their defense to some extent and focusing on offense.

Several former members of the Divine Wind team, upon seeing the armor formed from blue silver grass on the opposing group, immediately used various methods to try and burn it.

To their surprise, although the armor was carbonized from the heat, it was not destroyed and remained on the Shrek team.

As Tang San's soul power surged, the carbonized parts gradually recovered and eventually disappeared completely.

This happens because the Thousand Machine Iron Tree has a relatively strong fire resistance.

By absorbing its spirit ring, Tang San's martial soul inherited this advantage, at least when he used his fourth spirit skill, the Blue Silver Grass's fire resistance was greatly enhanced.

The scene before him filled Tang San with joy and delight. He thought to himself that his choice was indeed correct. That fool Bai Yu actually gave him such a good soul skill, which was practically courting death!

Yes, that's the way to his death. In his view, as long as he can survive in Baiyu's shadow, sooner or later he will be able to turn the tables with Baiyu's resources and then trample him underfoot!

"Fire Dance Shines in the Sun!"

"what!!!"

Just as Tang San was indulging in his daydreams, Huo Wu on the other side gave him a wake-up call.

The rest of the Shrek Academy members had been watching Huo Wu's moves closely, and when they saw the fireball coming, they all immediately retreated.

Only Tang San, due to a lack of concentration and a slow reaction, was hit squarely by the incandescent fireball.

Although his armor provides him with some fire resistance, note that this fire resistance is limited and does not make him fire immune!
So when the fireball hit Tang San's face, he was blasted dozens of meters away. His armor was completely charred, and he faintly smelled of burning pig bristles.

Oscar, who was behind, saw Tang San fall to the ground and immediately stuffed the sausage in his hand into Tang San's mouth, while looking at Tang San with a strange expression.
