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

Her respect was tinged with reverence. Dai Yun'er, however, couldn't hide her emotions at all, often pouting her red lips.

"Who made our little princess angry?" Dai Tianling asked with a smile.

Dai Yun'er remained silent, forcefully poking at the food in her bowl with her utensils.

Dai Tianling laughed, "These past few days you've been busy with the competition, and with no one causing trouble in the palace, everyone's been a bit strangely calm. Without your mischievous antics, it seems a little unsettling. Tell me, if you've given us this kind of habit, what will we do after you get married?"

"Father~" Dai Yun'er immediately cried out in a coquettish tone, her face full of dissatisfaction. This made Dai Tianling burst into laughter.

Dai Yueyan couldn't help but smile. Indeed, Yun'er, that little devil, always caused trouble in the harem, yet everyone doted on her, and even Dai Tianling couldn't bear to punish her.

Dai Tianling smiled and said, "Judging from your expression, the competition didn't go well?"

Dai Yun'er's face turned pale. "It's not going well. That Gu You is too terrifying. Brother Long Yue said that even he might not be able to beat him."

Dai Tianling still had a smile on his face, "It's right that we can't beat him. I've looked into that kid. Just the fact that he can challenge a high-level evil spirit master at the age of nine shows that we have no way to defeat him. He has a lot of achievements to his name. You might as well go and learn about them."

"So we're just going to keep losing like this?" Dai Yueyan stood up in dissatisfaction, but then he realized what a stupid thing he had done, and his face turned pale as he sat back down.

Dai Tianling frowned. "I'll try my best. That's all I can say..."

"Hey, have you guys noticed? Teacher Wu has been missing for the past few days. And Old Cai too, we haven't seen him in ages, have we?" Xu Xiaoyan chimed in while the Shrek members were having dinner at the hotel.

"The teachers are all quite busy. After all, they represent the Shrek Sun and Moon Federation and have a lot to deal with," Yue Zhengyu replied simply.

Yuan Enhui said thoughtfully, "I think this is Teacher Wu's way of building our self-confidence and reducing our dependence on him."

"That makes sense." Xie Xie immediately agreed.

Le Zhengyu pursed his lips, "You think everything Yuan En says makes sense, don't you?"

Xie Xie didn't see anything wrong with it at all, and said smugly, "So what?"

Le Zhengyu sighed, "Yuan En! I think a man who has no manly spirit at all is not good enough for you."

"I'll kill you!" Xie Xie lunged forward and grabbed Le Zhengyu by the neck.

With a twist of his body, Yue Zhengyu threw him aside. In terms of strength, Xie Xie was no match for Yue Zhengyu.

Yuan En didn't even glance at the two of them. "I'm full. I'm going back now."

"I'm full too." Ye Xinglan stood up.

Yuan En is calm and composed, while Ye Xinglan is introverted and stubborn; the two are somewhat similar in some ways.

Gu You simply ate his meal quietly, without saying much.

That feeling is getting stronger and stronger...

hotel room.

Wu Changkong stood by the window, gazing into the distance, his expression calm. He murmured to himself, "Do you know that I actually have nothing more to teach you? The road ahead is yours to walk. This is an inevitable part of growing up."

The Shrek team successfully passed the first round of the 2-on-2 and 7-on-7 group matches. Next, the group matches for the individual competition will begin.

Everyone checked their assigned group immediately.

The one with the worst expression was Yue Zhengyu, because his group had a rival they least wanted to face: Dragon King Long Yue!

That's right, he and Long Yue were assigned to the same group.

"It's fine, it's just the group stage. The top four in the individual group will all advance. At worst, we can just forfeit the match against Long Yue. Are you afraid of not making it out of the group stage?" Xie Xie said with a hint of schadenfreude after seeing Le Zhengyu's group assignment.

Le Zhengyu suddenly turned to look at him, his expression more serious than ever before. "The Holy Angel Family can fail, but they must never be cowardly. Let me test Long Yue's strength on your behalf."

Xie Xie's eyes widened. "You're not serious, are you?"

Le Zhengyu rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm joking? We've faced strong opponents before, how do you know I'm bound to lose?"

Xie Xie gave Le Zhengyu a thumbs up. "For the first time, I feel like you're a real man. But if it were me, I probably would have made the same choice as you."

"Tch... Get out of here, who do you think you are to compare yourself to me?"

"you……!"

The first round of the group stage has officially begun!

The first-round matchups for each group weren't finalized until just before the competition. To everyone's surprise, while the others fared well, in Le Zhengyu's group, his first-round opponent was none other than Long Yue.

Le Zhengyu frowned slightly. How could he not feel pressured when facing Long Yue?

He had watched all of Long Yue's previous matches, and the terror of this person was absolutely beyond his imagination.

In all the previous matches, in no event had he released his Martial Soul. Yes, from the start of the competition until now, Long Yue had defeated his opponents one by one without even releasing his Martial Soul.

Therefore, none of the Shrek Academy members even knew the extent of his soul power cultivation. That was the most terrifying aspect.

Le Zhengyu sat cross-legged on the ground in the waiting area, closed his eyes and meditated to calm himself down and maintain his best condition for the upcoming match against Long Yue.

"You really want to fight him? I can tell you, there's no hope at all. Even I have to take it seriously." Gu You gently approached Le Zhengyu and kindly reminded him.

Le Zhengyu lazily opened his eyes. "So you're just going to give up when there's no hope?"

Gu You could only sigh in the end. Le Zhengyu had a very persistent pride in his bones, a pride that Gu You could not stop.

The lineage of the Holy Angels has produced a Soul Master who ascended to godhood. Although that person was initially portrayed as a villain and stripped of their divine position, they ultimately achieved godhood.

Such a martial spirit is called a divine martial spirit, and it is the pinnacle of martial spirits on the Douluo Continent.

Of course, not all divine martial souls are powerful. For example, Blue Silver Grass was Tang San's martial soul when he ultimately became the Sea God. Therefore, in a sense, Blue Silver Grass is also a divine martial soul.

The game started.

"Le Zhengyu, Long Yue!" The electronic voice rang out in the waiting area. At that moment, everyone waiting for their turn to compete in the waiting area turned their gaze toward Shrek Academy.

Gu You raised his head... (End of Chapter)
