Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

"Don't look at me like that, it scares me."

"6! I think you're only being polite to me. Is your method of transmitting sound some kind of secret technique passed down only to one person?"

"Sort of, and sort of. In any case, I can't tell you."

"I don't care."

"snort!"

The girl was a little angry.

The banquet ended quickly, and both sides seemed to have a very pleasant conversation. The evening banquet would continue for some time.

The Imperial Palace of the Star Luo Empire.

"He's awful, Father. Please teach him a lesson."

"Nonsense." Dai Tianling looked at her daughter with annoyance and a helpless expression.

"You dare to act recklessly. What if it causes trouble? What if it ignites a conflict between the two countries?"

"Father, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again." Dai Yun'er lowered her head and said honestly.

Dai Tianling has seventeen sons, but only one daughter. He has doted on her since she was a child. Dai Yun'er is clever and mischievous, but she is the best at making him happy. In his heart, his daughter is truly the apple of his eye!

"I'm sick of hearing you say that since I was a child. You'll never dare to do it again? Who was it that cut Consort Zhen's hair into a half-shaved head last month? And the month before that... No, we can't let this go."

Dai Yun'er's lips trembled, and her eyes instantly reddened. "Father, don't you love me anymore?"

Since ascending the throne, Dai Tianling has been hailed as a great ruler, diligently governing and leading the Imperial Federation to rapid development. The centuries-old Green Skull resistance organization has been suppressed to the point of exhaustion and has begun to decline. However, no matter how powerful he is in court, he can never muster the authority of a monarch or father when facing his only daughter.

Just like Dai Yun'er's move right now, it's absolutely foolproof.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Dai Tianling patted his forehead. "I really can't do anything with you, you little brat. You're practically my nemesis sent by heaven. Alright, alright, I won't punish you, but you have to promise not to cause any trouble. Especially anything that damages the dignity of the country, otherwise, your father will put you in confinement."

"Father is the best!"

……

Gu You followed Wu Changkong into the hall of the royal welcome banquet. It has to be said that the Star Luo Empire is really rich, setting up two halls for a single banquet.

Squatting in the corner, Gu You quietly took two pastries and ate them.

At this moment, the banquet had already begun. His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, dressed in magnificent robes, was chatting with the Empress and the high-ranking members of the delegation.

The atmosphere was very harmonious, with nobles from the Star Luo Empire and members of the Douluo Continent delegation exchanging pleasantries, creating a peaceful scene.

Just then, melodious music began to play. Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire walked up to a female member of the Douluo Continent delegation and gestured for her to enter.

The woman was very beautiful, around thirty years old, and immediately showed an expression of being flattered. However, she still gracefully accepted Dai Tianling's invitation and stepped onto the dance floor with him to begin the first dance of the day.

"We meet again!" Just then, a sweet shout suddenly rang in his ears.

Gu You stopped eating and looked at Dai Yun'er behind him with a half-smile.

"Can you dance?" she asked.

Gu You rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something and revealed an evil smile.

"Graduated as an eighth-level dance master! I'm a professional."

"Really?" Dai Yun'er asked, somewhat incredulous.

"That must be true. If you don't believe me, dance with me."

"Then this princess will reluctantly dance with you."

"Fine, fine, you're a princess." Gu You had already figured out how to get revenge on the girl in front of him.

Dai Yun'er pulled Gu You along, and the two entered the dance floor.

Gu You stumbled, but Dai Yun'er had already helped him jump up.

"You say you're a dancer? Your dexterity is terrible!" Dai Yun'er laughed.

"Trust me, you'll see how powerful I am in a moment." Gu You's eyes were full of confidence.

"Alright."

"Ouch!"

Gu You first stepped on the right side of the skirt.

"Wait, you!!"

Step on the left hem of the skirt again.

"I'm so angry!" Dai Yun'er was furious.

"You're kidding me, you can't dance."

"Hmph, I was just playing you."

"Ugh! I'm so angry! You'd better die!" After saying that, Dai Yun'er kicked left and right. She had never been treated like this since she was a child.

"You really dare to kick!" Gu You exclaimed in surprise, reaching out to block the kick.

"Let go!"

"No, you have to promise me, this is a public place, don't kick me again."

"I understand, put it down quickly." Dai Yun'er blushed.

It's over, it's over.

With so many people present, who would believe that no one saw what they were doing right now!

"Relax now. Don't cause me any more trouble. Let's consider this goodbye and remain friends." Gu You yawned and slowly left.

"Where are you going?" Dai Yun'er asked, looking very uncomfortable.

"Go back...to sleep..."

"This guy." Dai Yun'er shook her head.

"It's quite interesting..."

The next few days were spent waiting for the Star Luo Empire's Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Tournament to begin. This tournament was one of the Star Luo Empire's most important events, its tradition dating back to the ancient times of the Douluo Continent.

In ancient times, Soul Masters were revered. The Spirit Hall, which initially controlled the vast majority of Soul Masters on the continent, established this competition to select outstanding talents.

Later, the Spirit Hall was overthrown by the three powerful empires led by Tang San, and the spirit masters were completely free, but the competition was passed down.

After the Douluo Continent became a federation, this competition gradually faded away, but the Star Luo Continent continued this competition with a long history.

It is held every three years in Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Continent. All Soul Masters under the age of twenty can register to participate. Of course, there are some requirements for registration. Soul Masters with a Soul Power level below twenty are not allowed to participate. In addition, a certain registration fee must be paid to participate.

Registration lasted a full month. With the progress of the times and social development, the main competition formats of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition now include one-on-one, two-on-two, and seven-on-seven challenge matches, as well as a mecha challenge. There are no competitions for secondary professions such as forging and mecha manufacturing.

The entire tournament revolved around combat, designed to inspire the fighting spirit of the younger generation of the Star Luo Empire.

All participants who achieve good results in the competition will have this achievement recorded in their files, and will receive different preferential treatment in their studies, job search, or military service.

Among these, the one-on-one challenge is the most highly regarded. One-on-one matches have no rules or restrictions; any weapons and equipment can be used, including mechs, soul-guided weapons, etc.
