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

After this competition, the royal family has two things to deal with: one is to select a husband for the princess, and the other is to announce the crown prince.

His daughter was already giving him enough headaches; he hoped the position of crown prince wouldn't be compromised. If Dai Yueyan could defeat Gu You, even if he couldn't win the final championship, declaring him crown prince would surely gain widespread approval. A crown prince skilled in both literature and martial arts would always be more readily accepted by all sides.

But if we lose...

Dai Tianling dared not think too much about it. Even with his authority, those stubborn old men in the court might still cause some trouble.

"The next match, and the highlight of today, will be between Gu You from Shrek Academy and Dai Yueyan from Monster Academy."

Fang'er's voice was noticeably higher, revealing her unease. Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Dai Yueyan, her hands clenched into fists on her knees. She was determined to defeat him!

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!" Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the stands.

Having just stood up from the waiting area, Dai Yueyan felt a surge of patriotic fervor. As the future crown prince, even with his composed nature, the feeling he experienced when he heard his people rallying for him with such unwavering resolve was indescribable.

But he really couldn't beat Gu You! He originally wanted to admit defeat, but if he admitted defeat in this situation, how could he be fit to be the crown prince!

"Haha, ahahaha!" Just as Dai Yueyan was struggling to choose between two options and preparing to fight Gu You on behalf of Monster Academy, suddenly, a discordant burst of laughter rang out in the waiting area, drawing everyone's attention to the direction of the laughter.

Xie Xie was seen gesticulating wildly and laughing loudly, standing up and laughing so hard he was doubled over.

Dai Yueyan's facial muscles twitched instantly. It was intentional, he must have done it on purpose!

"I understand, I finally understand! Hahaha, hahahaha!" Xie Xie's laughter went on and on.

This guy… Dai Yueyan clenched his fist.

Xie Xie laughed loudly, "I understand now! Agility-type Soul Master can't be too serious if they want to master it. I was too serious, that's why I didn't train well!"

Dai Yueyan composed herself and walked out of the waiting area.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuanen Yehui couldn't help but stand up and grab Xie Xie's neck. But to everyone's surprise, Xie Xie opened his arms and hugged Yuanen Yehui tightly.

"I understand, I understand, I finally understand!" Xie Xie's excitement seemed genuine.

Yuan Enhui almost instinctively tried to break free, but upon closer contact, the first thing she smelled was Xie Xie's bloody odor. The thought of his wounded body made her restrain herself. She simply hissed, "Let go of me."

Xie Xie acted as if he hadn't heard him. "Yuan En, I understand, I really understand. In the early days, I was too carefree and didn't train hard enough, which is why I couldn't fully develop my agility-type potential. But after being spurred on by you that time, I started to work hard, desperately trying to catch up with you and be worthy of you. During that time, I improved very quickly and became more and more confident. It wasn't until before we set off this time that I felt like I had reached a bottleneck, not a bottleneck in soul power cultivation, but a bottleneck for agility-type soul masters. I'm a bit lost. Although I still train very hard, I've stagnated in terms of technique, speed, and understanding of agility-type soul masters."

"Until this battle just now, I finally understood why I encountered such a bottleneck: the string in my heart was too taut. The secret of the agility-based attack style lies in freedom. If you can't integrate your speed with the element of freedom, you can't fully control the word 'agility' at all. So I understand now, I will never suppress myself again. I will let my heart be free. I will definitely become strong, and I will definitely be worthy of you..."

His voice grew weaker and weaker until, in the end, his entire body weight leaned against Yuanen Yehui, and he fell into a deep sleep.

With Yuanen's cultivation level, his weight was nothing, but she stood there somewhat dazed, instinctively hugging him. She could feel the deep obsession in his heart, that unwavering determination. And all of this, was it for me?

A strange light flashed in Yuanen Yehui's eyes. She carefully helped Xie Xie back onto the sofa and let him fall asleep there.

At this moment, Gu You and Dai Yueyan had both stepped onto the competition stage. All the cheers from the outside world disappeared as the soul-guided shield rose.

"Please give me your guidance, I've gone easy on you." Dai Yueyan bowed.

"Of course." Gu You nodded.

After all, he's the future emperor of Xingluo, so we have to give him face.

The two were several hundred meters apart.

"Three, two, one, the match begins!" The referee, seeing that both sides were ready, announced the start of the great battle.

A faint divine light appeared on Gu You's face, and purple-gold scales and a pair of dragon claws appeared. His body rose a few inches, and a faint "crackling" sound came from his spine. His whole body seemed to be completely stretched out.

Inside the second VIP box, there were no longer only Elder Cai and Wu Changkong, but also seven or eight distinguished representatives from the Douluo Continent delegation.

When Shrek Academy first participated in this competition, they didn't take it that seriously, and some of their key representatives were even exchanging ideas elsewhere.

However, as the competition progressed, Shrek Academy received more and more criticism, but also achieved better and better results. The high-ranking members of the delegation representing Douluo Continent also took notice of the competition.

There was practically no prior preparation for the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament; otherwise, these fifteen-year-olds wouldn't have been chosen to compete. Shrek Academy would always have been asked to bring some twenty-year-old powerhouses to ensure victory.

Therefore, they didn't care much about the results of this competition; what they cared about was whether the Shrek Academy participants could demonstrate the league's prestige.

As their results improved, they remembered one person: Gu You! A name that had once left a deep impression on them.

With him around, taking first place is a piece of cake, isn't it?

"Elder Cai, what do you think of Gu You?" Standing next to Elder Cai, Tang Bingyao, the leader of the delegation and Vice President of the Federal Parliament, asked in a low voice.

Tang Bingyao was not officially part of the delegation... (End of Chapter)
