Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

Chapter 435 Star: "The First Demon King of Xilu City's Tumbling Garden Protects You! If You Don't Win in One Minute, You're Bombed!"

Many streamers in the audience who were broadcasting live felt ashamed. The girl named Xing had only made a slight move, yet she had already reached the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.

While ordinary people were still laughing, they had already started taking out their notebooks to study.

Even if you only learn the basics of this abstract technique, you'll be set for life! You'll be raking in Dream Coins!

"Xing is still so energetic."

Huo Yuhao sat in the audience on one side, shaking his head with a smile. The principal of the Xilu City Research Academy often complained about Xing's ability to create trouble, saying that he would come up with some crazy ideas from time to time, making the academy chaotic.

Fortunately, she is never ambiguous when it comes to serious matters.

What surprised Huo Yuhao was that Xing, Sanyueqi, and Danheng seemed to be bound by some kind of destiny.

In theory, the three of them should not have any contact, since one is the King of Earth and Mountains who is clearing the earth's veins, and the other two are enjoying their youth on campus.

But fate always brought the three of them together by chance. This time, the story begins when Xing accidentally spilled trash on Teng Huang, who was passing by, while rummaging through a trash can in Xilu City.

March 7, who came to catch up with Xing, also arrived here. He pulled Xing to apologize to Teng Huang. After that, the three formed a three-person team bond, and strange things began to happen around them.

First, Teng Huang was embroiled in a theft case, then Xing and March 7th. The three of them were put on the wanted list, almost causing the principal of the Xilu City Research Institute to have a heart attack.

The old headmaster was already prepared to swallow his pride and beg Huo Yuhao to see if he could pardon these children.

The three people behind them caused a scene at the Xilu City Law Enforcement Bureau in a manner that could only be described as comical, and the bureau chief's eyelids still twitch uncontrollably whenever he thinks about it.

The enforcement bureau had a total of three hundred people, with an average strength at the Soul Master level. Half of them were lying on the ground, while the other half didn't even know what had happened.

Just like the Jade Emperor being beaten by the monkey, this incident made him unable to hold his head up in front of many of his colleagues.

Afterwards, they not only cleared their names but also captured the real theft gang and helped the Xilu City Battle Maids capture a spy from the Southern Empire of Douling.

Actually, this spy was Amon. He originally wanted to come back to cause some trouble, make his presence known, give the Xilu City Law Enforcement Bureau some training, and catch up with Adam. He didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by Xing and the others.

This made Amon very interested in Xing. She had so many wonderful ideas that she could never steal them all, and stealing them would cause unknown mental pollution to her. The ability to steal seemed to have no effect on her.

The three of them went through a series of events and became very good friends.

Generally speaking, if you see one of the trio around, you can usually find the other two.

When the three gather together, the city lord can pray to the heavens, begging them not to trigger the almost divinely ordained bond between the three.

Huo Yuhao's connection with the three of them can only be described as fate.

"Mmm, she's still so energetic♪~"

"Speaking of which, Xing said she was going to take me treasure hunting in Mingdu tonight."

"She said she wanted to visit the most magnificent golden building in the heart of Mingdu to see if she could get any achievements or new quests."

Xi Lian sat next to Huo Yuhao, swinging her legs, her tone light and cheerful.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Sweetie, that's called the Royal Palace."

"Is she determined to accumulate enough wanted statuses in every country?"

"Fine, let her do whatever she wants. She won't die anyway, and Teng Huang will just watch from underground."

Xi Lian moved slightly closer to Huo Yuhao, her short pink hair carrying a fresh fragrance.

"They're really close; Xia Mi's probably a little jealous, isn't she?"

"Is someone missing from their side?"

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "The initial arrangement was for Liu Ying, but something came up and she can't come for the time being."

"As you know, the alchemical mastermind is trying to connect timelines, and someone needs to try to cross time to test it."

"Liu Ying and the others went to test it with the Crown of Time."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should have already reached the outer edge of another timeline and used the mainframe and the Time Crown to establish a permanent time portal."

Xi Lian looked up, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Partner, besides being a transit point, does the cocoon have any other use? It seems so complicated."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "This is what happens when you don't study; everything seems like an unsolved mystery."

"At the core of the cocoon is the phantom of the crown of time, which is constructed using alchemy. In essence, it is a device for extracting imaginary numbers."

We will use the time-warping law of imaginary numbers in the real number domain to build a spacetime bridge.

—To use a less-than-pleasant term, it was essentially an troop transport ship.

However, cocoons also have observational capabilities, which are more efficient than primitive observation methods. In the past, the energy required to observe a timeline was astronomical.

After exploiting the surplus value of the mainland for so many years, I have barely managed to discover a timeline.

The cocoon does not require a power supply; it has its own energy module that allows it to continuously search for and observe timelines.

In addition, the cocoon is also a protective device. The incident involving Huo Zhanji and the others reminded me that the spacetime rift is not an insurmountable abyss.

Beings capable of actively traversing time and space are at least at the level of a dragon god. The cocoon can conceal the existence of the main timeline and even utilize imaginary number collapse to attack other timelines.

"But don't worry, the cocoon is usually not used as a weapon. Its primary and most important function is still observation."

Huo Yuhao patted the pink puppy's head, feeling the soft texture on his hand.

Although the puppy kept giving him a sharp bite, Huo Yuhao still thought it was a good puppy.

"As for the last person, we originally wanted Ryougi Shiki to be the substitute, but she resolutely refused."

If all else fails, let Huo Zhanji take over; he's available recently.

—In a sense, Adam and Amon are also students of the Xilu City Research Institute, and they are both of marriageable age.

Behind the two, a small silver head quietly peeked out. Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and Xi Lian sitting together, her back teeth clenching tightly.

Cracks appeared in the wall where she was being held down, and Miss Silver Dragon felt inexplicably wronged, even though she was the one who arrived first!

How could a dragon lose to a mammal?!

Between anger and frustration, she ultimately chose to be frustrated.

Unfortunately, although she really wanted to rush up and tear Xi Lian apart, and have a showdown at the Spicy Peak, her current identity was that of a teacher leading the team at Xilu City Academy.

During the students' competition, she was responsible for waiting in the waiting area to prevent any unexpected situations.

We can't just go to some random place like some old Deng and drink and eat chicken legs, can we?

This is just a competition; causing disability or death is strictly prohibited!

Gu Yuena felt that if something happened to her students during a competition in front of her, she could find a place to bury herself.

Miss Silver Dragon glanced at the two people in front of her with resentment, then pouted and left the audience.

On the way, Xia Mi held an ice cream in her hand, tilted her head and looked at the sullen Gu Yuena, wondering who had made this young lady angry again.

Xia Mi was in a great mood today because she ran into Teng Huang outside. Teng Huang bought her an ice cream, and it was a brand-name one.

Poor Xia Mi had spent money recklessly a few days ago, which led to her wallet being empty. Teng Huang saw how pitiful she looked and gave her some money.

Even though he refused to come when I messaged him, he still came in the end. He really does care about his little sister. What a repressed lover.

Unfortunately, Fenrir still refuses to come out, preferring to stay in the Northwest Continent playing games. Without him, there's no one to help carry things when shopping.

Of course, Teng Huang came because Xing and Sanyue sent him a message asking him to come watch the game. He knew about Qiankun Wenqing Valley and Otto's scheme and was a little worried, so he came.

The ice cream in Xia Mi's hand was originally bought for Xing and San Yue, but when she met her on the road, seeing Xia Mi's pitiful eyes, she ended up giving the ice cream to her.

Without anyone noticing, Mingdu successfully forged a bond between the three. If he were the city lord of Tiandou Plain, he would already be preparing to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty's royal family had never witnessed the strength of the bond between the three.

Off the field, Gu Qiu'er tapped Xing's head, his forehead bearing the character "井" (well).

"Hey, did you even read the rules?"

Do you know what the rules of the game are?

Xing replied with an air of self-righteousness, "Reporting, sir!"

"The text is too long, I'm too lazy to read it. Anyway, it's just about using superpowers, right? I'm good at that!"

"I, Batman, will make them understand that in front of the West City Research Institute, they are nothing but a bunch of—lolis."

Gu Qiu'er took a deep breath. At this moment, she finally understood how Di Tian viewed her. She patiently explained, "To make a long story short, because there are many teams participating, this competition is a continuous elimination tournament until the top 32 are determined."

"The knockout stage format is a combination of individual and team competitions."

Each side can select a maximum of seven players, and then the individual matches begin until all seven players on one side are defeated or concede defeat.

"There will be no rest after this; the team competition will start immediately. The previous seven players cannot be substituted, even if they are injured, they must play!"

"You get points for winning individual matches, and five points for winning team matches. The winner is determined by the total points!"

After listening, Xing seemed to be deep in thought. She just had unique tastes, but she wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she was incredibly clever.

"I understand, they value individual skill more here, right?"

"Completing the first round completely crushes the opponent, which to some extent determines the outcome."

"Who designed this competition? The person is actually quite nice."

"Captain, so who's going in the first round?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qiu'er said, "You go."

"During battle, try to disable the opponent's combat ability for a period of time, and you'll save the team battle from having to fight."

Xing patted his chest confidently and said, "The number one demon king of Xilu City's Tumbling Garden is at your service!"

"If the match isn't resolved within one minute, it's considered a failed bet!"

Then, Xing said affectionately to March, "March, I'm leaving!"

"Remember to warm up the milk for me when I get back."

"9

March 7th gritted her teeth and said, "Warm my ass! I'll freeze you to death!"

Erii held up her little notebook, her beautiful big eyes sparkling: "Star sister, let me help you warm it up."

Hoshi looked at Erii with a grateful expression and said, "You're so kind. Tonight, I'll take you on a top-secret palace raid. Fatty, please make sure to get out of there!"

Finally, Xing was kicked onto the competition stage by Gu Qiu'er. As expected, only by experiencing pain can one understand pain. Gu Qiu'er understood even more how difficult it was for Di Tian.

After Xing took his place on the competition stage, the opposing Dragon Slayer Sect also sent out a team member, a short and stocky young man with large hands, who was clearly a Beast Soul Master.

After both sides stood at attention, the referee said in a deep voice, "The rules are clear, right? Actions that could cause death or maiming are prohibited. I may interrupt the match depending on the situation. The match now begins!"

The young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect clashed his fists together, and a pair of thick, curved bull horns emerged from the muscles on both sides of his shoulders, instantly transforming him into a small giant with his bronze muscles.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings surrounded his body, and the savage power caused cracks to appear on the silver platform beneath his feet.

There was also a bull's head phantom on the black spirit ring, which was obviously a spirit ring of a spirit of ten thousand years.

"Please enlighten me upon graduation!"

The young man named Bi Nian leaned forward, and then his first spirit ring lit up. His first spirit skill, the Power of the Wild Bull, was a kind of invincible spirit skill that could also reduce pain. It was a very powerful self-amplifying spirit skill.

Xing recognized the martial spirit as the Bronze Bull, a top-tier martial spirit among bull-type martial spirits.

The spy sent to Xilu City by the Dragon Slaying Sect once possessed this martial spirit. Now, she has been working as a maid in Xilu City for several years. Muscular maids are also liked by some people.

These days, there are people who control Ice Demon Worms and Evil Eye Tyrants, but human P is still too free.

A thunderous roar erupted beneath Bi Nian's feet, and the illusory bronze bull roared behind him as he charged toward Xing at incredible speed.

During the charge, his eyes turned red, his third spirit ring shone, and he activated the Bull's Gaze, a mental attribute attack that weakens and locks onto enemies.

This player named Bi Nian shocked many teams. In the very first match, a Soul King appeared, and his Soul Skill combination was so perfect. He even had a ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit.

Xing remained motionless, hands in his pockets, letting the wind whip the hem of his school uniform around him, exuding an aura of strength.

This is the pose she and Bai E were in when they were deep in thought in Xilu City. If she wore a black trench coat, she would look absolutely stunning!

The referee in the distance was furious; he was ready to intervene and save the person.

He felt that Xing seemed to be terrified. If he were hit, not only would Xing be finished, but his hard-earned referee certificate would also melt away!

She only lost her life, but I lost my qualification certificate!

When Bi Nian rushed in front of Xing, Xing summoned a baseball bat with a gold handle and a black body. The bat lit up and swung it at Bi Nian.

The power emanating from the baseball bat was peculiar, possessing both destructive power and some inexplicable force—a power that yearned for transcendence and progress. Bi Nian immediately felt his mental energy tremble.

"This power! Are you kidding me! This is only the first match!"

"I carry the hopes of my sect on my shoulders! My sect already owes the Magic Network a mountain of debt! I must—I must make a name for myself in this competition!"

Without fame, you can't make any money!

Whether his words were truly effective or not, all five of his spirit rings shone brightly, allowing him to use five spirit skills simultaneously—even more outrageous than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"What are you babbling about? I said rules are meant to be broken!"

Xing suddenly swung his bat, and the destructive power tore apart the huge bronze bull phantom, slamming it hard into Bi Nian's chest.

Bi Nian's eyes rolled back, and he flew out in a U-shape, causing a huge tremor on the soul guidance barrier.

An eerie silence fell over the entire venue. The host glanced at the time and said, "Dear family members, this abstract-style contestant from the Xilu City Research Institute defeated his opponent in twenty seconds. It seems that abstraction really can bring power."

Um, a urine test? Everyone, our competition is fair and impartial. There are pre-competition checks; there's no possibility of drug use.

Xing stood on the field, leaning against his bat, and said to the big screen, "Please give Xilu City's Tumble Garden Club your support! Top-notch fighters, smiling service! We have a white-haired god and a blond prince! We'll make up for every single loss!"
