Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 149 Quick decision
……

Soto Grand Arena, Central Main Arena.

Unlike other arenas, this place is unusually quiet. There is no tidal wave of noise and shouts from the open-air stands. Instead, there are enclosed boxes.

Eight hours passed quickly, and the Soto Grand Arena had completed its preparations for the match. A large number of spectators from the surrounding areas of Soto City had entered the viewing area under the guidance of the arena staff.

“Dean, I think I just saw… the Barak royal insignia?” Oscar tugged at Flander’s sleeve nervously, his voice trembling slightly.

“You’re not mistaken, that’s the Barak royal insignia,” Flander said.

"Not only that, Xingluo also sent quite a few people."

“Xingluo?” Oscar’s face instantly froze, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"So exaggerated?"

This place isn't far from the border, but why have people from the Star Luo Empire all come all this way just to watch a match?

And in such a short period of time?

"Alright, don't overthink it, just focus on the game," Flander said.

"Follow the master's instructions and give it your all!"

If this match hadn't been so rushed, even members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Star Luo Royal Family might have been able to see it.

Not to mention the news released by the Soto Grand Arena that Xuanming was fighting against two teams by himself.

Two Soul Masters, nine Soul Venerables, and three Great Soul Masters, totaling fourteen people.

The Grand Arena has never seen a battle with such a huge disparity in the number of participants, and the topic has become incredibly popular!

"Flander, who did you bet on to win?" Zhao Wuji, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, couldn't help but ask.

“Of course it’s Xuan… cough cough!” Flander coughed heavily twice, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, and quickly corrected himself, “Of course it’s the Shrek children!”

"That's good. I just bet all of Shrek's savings." Zhao Wuji grinned, a hint of smugness on his face.

"What!?" Flander was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this, his eyes widening like saucers. "Who did you buy?"

“Didn’t you say you would support the children?” Zhao Wuji said.

"What did you say?!" Flander exploded, grabbing Zhao Wuji.

"Stop, stop, stop, don't get excited, I was just teasing you, I bet on Xuanming." Zhao Wuji quickly said.

Flander's expression froze for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and cursed irritably, "You fucking scared me to death?"

"What are you so scared of? It's not like Shrek Academy has any savings." Zhao Wuji shrugged helplessly. "If Xuanming hadn't fought with you at the academy and paid you a sum of money, where would we have gotten the money to bet on this match..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not saying anything more, let's watch the game."

As the team leaders of both teams, they naturally have the right to watch the game live, without having to go to other arenas to watch the "pirated broadcast".

……

Amidst the tense anticipation throughout the Great Soul Arena, the Soul Battle competition, held in the middle of the night, finally began.

Inside the main arena, the host responsible for this Soul Battle competition has appeared and is explaining this special Soul Battle.

"Alright, enough with the unnecessary words. Now, please welcome the legend of our Grand Soul Arena!"

Turning around to look at one side of the arena, all the spotlights in the arena swayed and focused on that door.

The door opened quietly, and Xuanming walked in slowly, standing on one side of the Soul Battle Arena.

"It's getting late, let's get started." Xuanming looked at the host, DouDou.

"Alright!" DouDou bowed excitedly, then turned to look at the other side of the arena. "Next, please welcome tonight's challenger!"

"Royal Fighting Team! And Shrek Team!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a white light flashed around DouDou, and a pair of white wings grew from her back, carrying her into the sky.

The members of Shrek Academy and the Royal Fighting Team also emerged from the door, and the two teams separated into their own battle formations.

Although Qin Ming and Yu Xiaogang gave a lot of advice on cooperation between the two teams before this battle, and the two sides spent several hours exchanging ideas, it was really too little time for two teams that had never met before to talk about cooperation.

"Attention both sides, you now have one minute to summon your Martial Soul. You may attack only when I announce the start, until one side concedes defeat, both fall down, or both fall off the Soul Fighting Platform."

Upon hearing the host DouDou's words, both teams summoned their martial souls and revealed their soul rings. Dozens of soul rings appeared simultaneously, and a powerful aura pressed down on XuanMing.

Xuanming extended his right hand, and as crimson lightning surged from his palm, a blood spear was placed horizontally in front of him.

"..."

"Has it started yet?"

Xuanming, who hadn't heard the start signal for a long time, looked at DouDou, who was flying in the sky in a daze.

DouDou snapped back to reality, her face instantly turning bright red. She hurriedly looked away from XuanMing, took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then shouted, "Start!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who were the vanguards of the two teams, unleashed their soul power, pushed off the ground, and charged towards Xuanming from the left and right respectively.

hum!
A cold white light suddenly exploded, instantly enveloping the entire Soul Arena and bringing a terrifying sense of oppression to everyone.

Even with mental preparation and prior activation of their soul power, everyone still felt a strong sense of oppression enveloping their entire bodies.

The body, soul power, and even the spirit were subjected to a heavy pressure!

"Are we... going to fight him in this environment?" Oscar's face was pale, and his legs trembled slightly. He already regretted stepping onto this fighting arena.

I'm going to die! This is what it feels like to be dying!
"The seven treasures have names, one is: Power!"

"The Seven Treasures are famous, and the second one says: Speed!"

As Ning Rongrong's short and clear voice rang out, several beams of light flew out quickly. Four beams of light landed on Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who were charging forward, while the other beams of light landed on Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oslo and Yu Feng of the Royal Fighting Team, who had already burst out.

As people who had fought against Xuanming before, they all knew very well that once they started fighting this guy, they had to finish the battle quickly!

Otherwise, within this white light, only a slow death awaits them!
“An amplification…” Xuanming’s eyes narrowed, and his second purple soul ring flashed.

"Watch out!" Dugu Yan shouted.

Unfortunately, her shout came too late. A flash of lightning appeared, and Xuanming, wielding a blood spear, charged through Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng who were facing him head-on with unstoppable ferocity, instantly reaching the back row and arriving in front of Ning Rongrong.

The spearhead, gleaming with blood, was almost within reach, and Ning Rongrong's face instantly turned pale.

"Are you going down yourself, or should I throw you down?" Xuanming asked.

"I……"

As soon as Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, Xuan Ming grabbed her shoulder and threw her off the Soul Battle Arena.

Oscar was about to fly out and grab Ning Rongrong when Xuanming kicked him in the waist, sending him flying before Ning Rongrong even landed.

"Idiot!" Dugu Yan couldn't help but curse.

She emphasized this before the competition even started!

Protect the back seats!
Xuanming's ability to charge forward is terrifying; if you're not careful, your back row will be wiped out!

Neither of them, the two defensive Soul Masters, dared to relax. There wasn't a single one of these people, and they actually left the two support-type Soul Masters there!
