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

Only then could one possibly receive such a reward; a viscount's status in the Star Luo Empire was comparable to that of a city lord.

This is why all young people are willing to participate in the competition. Once they enter the top eight, it's like a meteoric rise to power. Regardless of their previous status, they can obtain a title and become true nobles. Although they don't receive fiefdoms, they are guaranteed a property in the capital. All expenses are covered by the state.

Therefore, of all the contestants who came to compete today, apart from Gu You, only the three from Monster Academy remained relatively calm. All the other veterans from the past decade or so looked eager to try, even Xie Xie's expression was somewhat excited. Throughout history, countless warriors have fought bloody battles for this one title. Of course, the prerequisite was that his opponents weren't from Monster Academy; only then would he have a chance to enter the top eight. He was already eliminated in the next round anyway, so he shouldn't expect any title; entering the factory was better.

But what a coincidence! His opponent was one of the Eight Heavenly Kings!

It is still the most mysterious and unpredictable of them all.

"Today's first match is already very exciting. This will be a duel between two agility-type Soul Masters. Xie Xie from Shrek Academy in Douluo Continent, and Lin San from our Monster Academy, known as the Wind King. Please come to the stage."

Lin San stood up calmly, and Xie Xie and Yuan En Ye Hui looked at the same time as this one of the Eight Heavenly Kings who had not yet met them.

Lin San's aura was calm, and his presence was the weakest among the Eight Heavenly Kings. However, when they focused on observing him, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

A formidable foe! The thought crossed both of their minds simultaneously.

Lin San's aura was too peaceful, almost as if he had merged with the air, making him seem as if he had no presence at all. As an agility-type Soul Master, this state was clearly already at a certain level.

Xie Xie did not look in Lin San's direction. He appeared very calm at this moment, as if his usual carefree nature had completely disappeared.

He strode out and walked towards the competition stage.

For the title, let's go!

Yuan Enhui looked at the focused Xie Xie, his eyes flickering slightly. He had indeed grown, and this match would likely be a very difficult challenge for him.

But if she knew what Xie Jie was thinking, she would definitely change her mind.

It seemed easy for her to defeat Tengteng that day, but in reality, she had given it her all. Tengteng lost to her mainly because she seized the initiative. After that, she never gave Tengteng a chance to turn the tide.

This Wind King Lin San is stronger than Shadow King Tengteng, but what about Xie Xie? Can he handle his opponent?

At this moment, the two had already stepped onto the arena. The soul-guiding shield glowed, and the entire arena fell silent.

Only now did Xie Xie and Lin San look at each other. Xie Xie's gaze was focused; he stood there like a statue. Lin San's gaze was peaceful; he was calm and serene, like a gentle breeze, as if he might disappear at any moment.

They possess strikingly different auras, yet both are agility-based attackers. Their training paths are clearly completely different. The outcome of this match will once again ignite the rivalry between Monster Academy and Shrek Academy.

Yuan Enhui's victory over Shadow King Teng Teng has fully demonstrated to the people of the Star Luo Empire that Shrek Academy is not just about Gu You; each of its members possesses formidable strength.

"The match begins!"

With a loud shout from the referee, the race for speed officially began.

Xie Xie and Lin San launched their attacks almost simultaneously, both charging towards their opponent.

Lin San looked very casual, as light and airy as the wind.

But anyone with eyes could see that Lin San's speed was no slower than Xie Xie's, and was even faster.

Three purple and two black spirit rings rose from Lin San's feet, completely surpassing the four purple spirit rings rising from Xie Xie's body. The first spirit ring shone brightly, and two streaks of azure light appeared in Lin San's hands.

They were two crescent-shaped wind blades, which looked very light, but were sharp. Each wind blade was only about a foot long, and when he held it in his palm, it looked like two strange moon blades.

The Fifth Ring Road? What kind of configuration is this? He clearly remembered it…

Xie Xie was stunned. He clearly remembered that Lin San did not have this configuration. He had watched his matches before.

He's really playing dumb to fool others!

People who are calm and reserved are often the most terrifying.

With the two agility-type Soul Masters running at full speed, the distance was only a matter of moments.

The two figures seemed to overlap in the blink of an eye.

The moment they approached each other, their figures simultaneously became illusory.

Ghostly Appearances!

Undoubtedly a ghostly, shadowy figure! The same applies.

"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the one who flew out was none other than Wind King Lin San. In the initial collision, he was like a wisp of breeze rippling out.

But Xie Xie paused for a moment; a bloodstain appeared on his left shoulder.

That's too fast, that speed.

Xie Xie gritted his teeth, and three of him flew out, attacking Lin San with all his might once again.

"You know what? In my eyes, you're like a turtle," Lin San said calmly.

Three streaks of azure light shot out from his body, corresponding precisely to Xie Xie's three clones. The azure light was as swift as the wind; before Xie Xie himself could even react, his three clones had vanished.

"You're not worthy to speak to me!" Xie Xie sprang to his feet, thrusting out his Light Dragon Dagger. This time, he was even faster than before. But a strange scene unfolded: Lin San's body seemed to melt away. Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger shimmered with golden light, seemingly always enveloping Lin San's body, yet he just couldn't hit him.

Neither of them used any additional soul skills, and they continued to collide at high speed.

"Lin San is clearly in the lead. If you look closely, you'll see that Lin San surpasses Xie Xie in both speed and agility. These are precisely the most important aspects for agility-type Soul Masters. Speed, in particular, is crucial; agility-type Soul Masters rely on speed to break through defenses. Once they lose in speed, they will be completely suppressed. According to my observation, Xie Xie already has at least six injuries. Although they are all minor, with this shift in momentum, Lin San's advantage will only grow stronger."

Fang'er's judgment and explanation were very accurate. Xie Xie was now facing Lin San's "gentle breeze and fine rain" attack.

They would touch him and leave immediately, never stopping. Although each time they could only leave Xie Xie with very minor injuries, because they were fast enough to dodge, Xie Xie could never touch Lin San at all.

In this way, Xie Xie's constant injuries were purely a matter of attrition. Meanwhile, Lin San himself remained unharmed.
