Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 18 Eating the Strange Fruit

Luxury Rose Hotel

On the red, heart-shaped bed, Chen Xuan looked at the two items in his hands and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

One of them was a bright red fruit with an enticing aroma and fragrance that made one's fingers itch to eat it.

This red fruit, about the size of a palm, has a crystalline luster, like red agate, and looks very appetizing.

The other item was a carrot, crystal clear and transparent, unlike any ordinary item.

Chen Xuan realized that there was a long gap between him and the Shrek Seven Devils. At the same time, the rules of the competition were not favorable to his martial soul, making it difficult for him to have room to use it.

Is it true, as Yu Xiaogang said, that I can only be a support class?

Chen Xuan understood his current situation. He had only been here for less than half a month, which was too little time for him to develop his career.

Even so, he would not give up, nor would he be content with his current situation. Perhaps the two items in front of him could bring surprises and have miraculous effects.

Chen Xuan hesitated to eat because he saw a notification from the system.

"The miraculous fruit is born from the creation and nurturing of heaven and earth. Only two fruits are produced every thousand years, and one can only consume one in a lifetime, otherwise it will explode and die."

Besides that, the system didn't tell him the true effects of the two fruits, only vaguely hinting that they had miraculous effects, but also came with certain risks, and could also be unexpected surprises.

This... is why he hesitated to speak.

"Even if the fruit works, without the Flying Thunder God Technique, speed is still my weakness. I still need to learn the Body Flicker Technique!" Chen Xuan muttered to himself, reflecting on his shortcomings.

Fortunately, the Body Flicker Technique is not a high-difficulty ninjutsu; its principle is not difficult, and he has already figured out half of the taijutsu that combines it with chakra.

"Forget it, I'll just eat it anyway. People of the Chen generation are bound to have good luck." In the end, Chen Xuan made his decision and ate the bright red fruit.

The fruit is sweet and delicious, juicy, and has a rich aroma; it's incredibly tasty.

However, something strange happened. Half an hour after Chen Xuan ate the fruit, no changes occurred in his body, as if a dud had been fired.

"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to have unexpected effects?" He was a little confused. Could it be that the drug was taking longer to work?

Another half hour passed, but his body remained as still as water, without the slightest ripple, as if he had only eaten an ordinary piece of fruit.

"What the hell? Could I have been fooled by the system?" Chen Xuan was a little confused; such a guess was still possible.

He always felt that the system was unreliable because it was too unintelligent and had hardly answered any questions. It also slept like a pig most of the time, leading him to believe that he had been bound to an artificially disabled person.

"Speechless, what a waste of my time!" Chen Xuan cursed the system in his mind and then stopped paying attention to these irrelevant things.

As for the crystal carrot, he disdainfully tossed it onto the long table in the hall.

"I thought it was some kind of rare treasure, but it's just an ordinary fruit, a complete rip-off."

The hotel is large enough that its area could be described as an estate, and the rooms are naturally not small, each a full 100 square meters, enough for him to develop the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

The next day

At dawn, as the sun rises, the first rays of sunlight shine upon the earth.

Inside the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, a number of nobles and merchants had already gathered, as well as students from various academies and some disciples from sects.

Today, the second round of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament is underway, with opponents still being matched through random checks.

The Shrek team arrived in batches, and many of them hadn't slept well. They were kicked out by the master early in the morning, and some didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

"Xuanzi, you didn't go back to the academy last night?" Tailong yawned repeatedly.

Chen Xuan shook his head. He didn't plan to go back for a while to avoid further verbal conflicts with Yu Xiaogang.

Dai Mubai asked, "Xiao San, Zhu Qing, what do you want to eat? Fatty and I will go buy it."

"I want carrot juice!" Xiao Wu shouted before Tang San could even speak.

"I've already eaten. Never mind, I'll go with you." The draw had just ended, and there was still some time before the competition, so Tang San went out with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Now, only Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu, Tai Long, and Oscar remain in the lounge; the rest of the people have not yet arrived.

Chen Xuan took out two boxes from his storage ring, placed them on the table, and said, "If you're hungry, I have some biscuits and candy here."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She immediately spotted the two carrots in the box and took them without hesitation.

"Chen Xuan, you're such a nice person!" She took small bites of the carrot, squinting her eyes with a satisfied look on her face.

Don't be too surprised that a few cheap carrots can win her favor.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing didn't stand on ceremony and ate a few cookies and candies.

"Which team did we get this time?" Chen Xuan asked, looking at Tai Long.

"It's the Elephant Armor Squad of the Elephant Armor Sect. Their martial soul is a mammoth. This sect has an extremely powerful defense, and its status and strength are no less than the four major sects to which my grandfather belonged," Tailong told him, his face somewhat gloomy.

Clearly, this is a formidable team, putting pressure on Talon. Their defense is incredibly strong and difficult to break.

Chen Xuan nodded. The Elephant Armor Sect was indeed a tough team to deal with. With the Seven Devils on the field, they were not a threat. But if they had the same lineup as yesterday, it would be hard to say.

"Not bad. This time, our opponents have three Soul Masters, and the rest are only Soul Venerables. However, the Elephant Armor Team is known for its strong defense, so you must not be careless." Flander pushed open the door and walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Dean," Tyrone called out respectfully.

"Where are Xiao San and Mu Bai?" Flander asked, puzzled.

"Third Brother and the others went to buy food," Xiao Wu told them, adding that they would be back soon without delaying the competition.

Flander nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he took out a document containing information on the martial souls of all members of the Elephant Armor Sect.

Tyrone looked serious as he picked it up and looked at it carefully, as if afraid of missing a single word.

Chen Xuan glanced at it as well, his expression changing slightly. He hadn't expected that the Elephant Armor Sect would have three Soul Sect contestants.

"Captain Hu Yanli, a level 43 defensive Soul Master."

"Vice Captain Huyanba and a member named Huyanshan are at level 42 and 41 respectively, both having reached the Soul Master realm."

Besides, the remaining members, Hu Yanxi, Hu Yanqi, Hu Yangai, and Hu Yanshi, are all Soul Venerables.

"With strength to uproot mountains and spirit to cover the world... This name is..." Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed; it was too casual.

Ning Rongrong spoke softly, pointing to one of them, and said, "Look, this Hu Yanli, like Boss Dai, has reached level 43 in soul power, and his martial soul is defensive. He should be a very difficult opponent."

"Rongrong is right. This Huyanli's defensive power is no weaker than the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul. His fourth soul skill is enough to defend against the strongest attack of an ordinary Soul King." Flander's expression became slightly more serious.

Chen Xuan tried hard to recall and remembered some information about this person, which was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
