Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 75 Little Butterfly, I Really Want to Bully Her

Meng Hongchen had no desire to confront this, so he left behind only a harsh remark and then ignored it.

"Can you put me down now?"

Meeting Xia Die's deep gaze, Di Qiu'er immediately put Xia Die down.

There are several other methods for dealing with soul bones.

Alternatively, one could wait three years until the Heavenly Ranking is released, and those who make it onto the list will receive rewards. This is the most troublesome method.

What a waste of time.

The third method involves weakening the ultimate ice power inherent in the soul bone, reducing it to ice attribute, although the power will be somewhat weaker.

Xiao Hongchen said, "Then, Adie, this piece of mine shouldn't be of the ultimate metal attribute, right?"

"No, but your physical fitness needs to be improved before you can absorb more nutrients."

…………

Afterwards, Xia Die suppressed a significant amount of power, allowing Xiao Hongchen to absorb it; however, pain was inevitable.

At night, Xia Die also takes off her shoes and socks to take a bath.

But Meng Hongchen also came.

"Sister Meng, what are you doing in here?"

"What am I doing? Of course, I want to take a bath with Xiao Adie."

Without giving Xia Die a chance to refuse, the door was locked, leaving only Xia Die and Meng Hongchen inside.

Meng Hongchen looked at Xia Die's skin with great envy.

Meng Hongchen's skin was a bit fairer, while Xia Die's skin was a bit paler, a cold white.

Touching her skin closely reveals a cold sensation.

Although, given the characteristics of her [Death Curse], anyone she touches will die.

Rainwater doesn't affect you when it touches you.

The self-restraining ring greatly suppresses the power of one's own death curse and will not cause the other party to die. This can be maintained as long as the distance does not exceed three hundred meters.

You can choose to turn it on or off.

"Little sister Adie, your skin is so well-maintained, I'm so envious."

“I was born with this.”

Xia Die lay in the bathtub, looking helplessly at Meng Hongchen. Her pale skin appeared very delicate under the raindrops.

Meng Hongchen stroked the butterfly, her eyes filled with infatuation and a playful smile.

"Speaking of which, Sister Adie, why are your ears different from mine?"

Xia Die paused for a moment, because these ears were considered a monster in the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Meng Hongchen also considered himself a friend and did not regard himself as a monster.

"I have existed since birth, and I cannot explain that to you."

After all, the sisters, Xia Die and Bolysia, are the same; they both have ears that resemble those of elves.

That being said, given the current situation in Douluo Continent, there shouldn't be any elves as a race, and very few creatures with characteristics like Xia Die and Bolysia exist.

"Ah Die, where were you before? How were you doing?"

"Sister Meng, I don't want to answer this question."

“Sister A-Die…”

Why bring up past events? Why does Sister Adie give off a desolate feeling?

I realized that my sister, Ah Die, had never acted like this before.

“Sister A-Die, since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask any more questions.”

"Ah."

He reached out and pinched Xia Die's cheek. It felt so soft. Compared to her, his own figure was like heaven and earth.

After a long while, Xia Die put on her pajamas and lay down on the bed, with Meng Hongchen beside her.

She didn't consider many things important. The diary contained everything about Xia Die. After the last incident with Ju Zi, Xia Die sealed the diary, and only she and her sister could open it. Almost no one else could.

Looking at her bare feet in purple pajamas, as for why Polycia wasn't there, it was because Meng Hongchen had found an opportunity to send her away.

"Sister Meng, have you seen enough?" "I can never get enough of seeing little sister Adie like this."

Xia Die chuckled.

The round-robin tournament proceeded as usual on the second day. There were no particularly strong opponents these past few days, and Shrek Academy was no exception.

Soon, the round-robin tournament ended, and the qualifying rounds began. These were also elimination rounds, a sixteen-team elimination tournament. Losing meant elimination from the competition, while each win would advance the team's ranking significantly. Undoubtedly, every participating academy would give it their all under these circumstances.

Although the teams that advanced from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals were very weak and could be easily dealt with, they would definitely face strong teams in the quarterfinals and the semifinals, so it was necessary to do their homework in advance and be prepared for any changes.

The next day.

As dawn broke through the sky like a thin veil, the faint light edged the clouds with gold. Under the clear blue sky, Xingluo Square awoke in the gentle caress of the rising sun—amber halos flowed over the white marble steps, gilding the staggered columns, and even the fountain in the center of the square reflected tiny specks of light, as if thousands of stars had fallen to earth.

On the day of the qualifying round, the place was packed with people.

To everyone's surprise, a ten-meter-wide red carpet stretched from the direction of the imperial city gate all the way to the front of the competition stage. Ten minutes before the draw was to begin, the imperial palace gates swung open, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, surrounded by palace guards, strode out and headed straight for the competition stage.

"Long live, long live, long live!" All the soldiers responsible for maintaining order raised their weapons and shouted long live the mountain.

The people immediately noticed the emperor's appearance and also shouted long live the mountain.

The people immediately noticed the emperor's appearance and also shouted long live the mountain.

The members of several teams also stood up and paid their respects to His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor.

Of course, the Sun and Moon Empire did not perform any formalities, but only showed a little respect.

Xia Die noticed that four elderly men stood beside the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, forming a square, with the Emperor at the center. There were only twenty guards following behind, which didn't seem excessive.

However, the members of each participating team knew very well that the guard team had an extremely luxurious lineup, and those four old men were probably all titled Douluo-level powerhouses worshipped by the Star Luo Empire.

Of the four titled Douluo, he recognized two: one was the Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang, and the other was the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu.

As for the other two, he was not sure, but they should be at least at the level of Super Douluo or Title Douluo, since they were both worshippers of the Star Luo Empire.

The 108 Soul Masters responsible for protecting the arena simultaneously bowed to the Emperor, but not kneeling. According to the regulations of the Star Luo Empire, royal Soul Masters with four or higher Soul Rings were not required to kneel.

Surrounded by four Title Douluos, Xu Jiawei stepped onto the competition stage, facing the direction of Star Luo Square, and said with a smile, "My people, rise."

Cheers suddenly erupted in Xingluo Square, which showed that His Majesty the Emperor was very loved by his people.

But this is just a superficial effort; the real butterfly knows everything perfectly well.

This place is mostly inhabited by nobles; there are very few commoners.

Xu Jiawei did not try to stop the noise, but simply looked at the civilians in the distance with a calm gaze and a smile. Only when the square gradually quieted down did he smile and say, "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is a grand event held every five years on our Douluo Continent. It is a great honor for me that this year's tournament is being held in our country. First, I want to thank the more than one hundred academy teams from various countries; it is they who have presented one wonderful match after another, allowing us to witness the rapid development of the soul master and soul master profession on the continent, and also giving me the opportunity to share in the joy with the people."

The qualifying rounds will begin shortly, and this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament will soon come to a close. I have decided to personally preside over the draw. I hope that Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Imperial Academy, and our Star Luo Empire's Star Luo National Academy, along with the remaining sixteen academies, will deliver even more exciting matches in the final games.

"I know everyone is eager to watch the game, and I am just as excited. Let's begin. I wish to share this joy with my people, and I also wish my Star Luo Empire eternal prosperity."

Xu Jiawei's speech was grand and humorous, and not lengthy. As soon as he finished speaking, the audience immediately cheered again.

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "To ensure the safety of both teams during the semi-finals and finals, I have decided that in every match to come, the Imperial Guardian Douluo will serve as the referee and preside over the game. Today's draw and the first match will be presided over by Senior Huang Jinxu, whose title is Heavenly Fiend."

Continuing on, there are a total of sixteen academies today, the most prestigious being Shrek Academy, the Ancient Soul Master Academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the Imperial Soul Master Academy, the Fighting Spirit Royal Academy, the Star Luo Royal Academy...

Now, the Sun Moon Empire only has the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy left, meaning it won't encounter any similar...
team.

The remaining colleges are probably not that simple.

The qualifying rounds consisted of sixteen rounds, then eight rounds, and finally four rounds.

In the final four, the match between the two academies is the semi-final.

The remaining two academies from the Four Directions Academy will then advance to the finals.

Then, Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, saw that Xuanzi, the Gluttonous Douluo, had taken a seat in the spectator area, with a Super Douluo providing support.

Because of the referee's gaze, the students from Shrek Academy, as well as those from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and other academies, noticed the arrival of this disheveled old man.

However, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy only glanced at Xuanzi and then looked away, their eyes filled with disdain.

The referee on the stage, Tian Sha Douluo, clearly recognized Elder Xuan, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his composure. However, he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "I am Huang Jinxu, the referee for the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. Now I will announce the rules for the qualifying rounds."

As before, the competition will consist of one-on-one, two-two-three, and team battles, with one of these three methods chosen for the competition.

However, in this competition, losing means true elimination.

Almost all sixteen teams are seeded teams, and each is a formidable academy to face.

The first match was between Shrek Academy and Battle Spirit Royal Academy.
