Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

A strange thing happened: no matter how Zhang Lexuan attacked, she was able to accurately hit Dane.

For a moment, no matter how Dane dodged, he had no way to escape.

With Zhang Lexuan's second soul skill, Dane was knocked unconscious.

Finally, Zhang Jingrong, who was still on the field, was being harassed by Wu Ming.

Weapon-type martial souls are at a disadvantage in the early stages of battle against beast-type martial souls, and even more so against elemental-type martial souls.

Wu Ming is not only a Beast Soul Master, but also possesses the Golden Crow True Fire, which is close to the ultimate fire.

This made it very difficult for Zhang Jingrong, who had an advantage in soul power, to fight. With Ye Ying using another jumping arrow created by her second soul skill, she was also eliminated.

After the match ended, Ning Yu and his two teammates representing Class 3 of Grade 1 lost their trump card. Apart from Dane, who was looking down and seemingly lost in thought, Ning Yu and Zhang Jingrong looked extremely disappointed.

Approaching their homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi, who was wearing an old woman's mask, Ning Yu bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, teacher, we lost!"

"It's alright, you've already done very well to get this far. The opponents are about the same strength as you, and sometimes luck plays a part in winning or losing."

Zhou Yi offered a few words of comfort and then led them away.

After Zhou Yi led the Class 3 students away, the second semi-final match began.

However, compared to the first match where Soul Masters were gathered together, the strongest player in the second match was only a level 28 Great Soul Master, so it was naturally less exciting than the first match where three Soul Masters fought each other.

However, that level 28 Great Soul Master is worth noting, after all, his Martial Soul is extraordinary.

"The Xuanming Turtle, a member of the Xu family?"

Mu Jin seemed to be thinking of something unpleasant, and a look of disgust flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Wu Ming, standing to the side, also snorted coldly, seemingly quite displeased.

When Ye Ying heard about the Xuanming Turtle, he immediately recalled some things, and combined with some things Ye Zhenting had told him when he was a child, his expression became quite strange.

The Xu family, like the Ye family, is a reclusive clan, but their strength is far inferior to that of the Ye family. Currently, the strongest member of the Xu family is only a level 93 Title Douluo.

With this kind of strength, they were only on the verge of becoming a first-rate power in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

However, there is one thing that the Ye family can't match: the number of their clansmen. They have truly achieved a large and prosperous population.

The direct descendants alone number in the hundreds, while the collateral descendants number nearly two thousand.

In addition, the Xu family has a secret relationship with the royal family of the Douling Empire.

Actually, the Xu family was not a reclusive family at first; they announced their seclusion more than a decade ago.

The specific reason is probably because Ye Ying's mother, the Xu family member who was pursuing Yu Xuehua along with Ye Qiukong, couldn't beat Ye Ying's father, so she shamelessly called in the current head of the Xu family.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Zhenting personally went to the Xu family and shattered the shell of the current head of the Xu family with three arrows.

Subsequently, the Xu family moved away as a whole, declaring that they would live in seclusion and no longer concern themselves with worldly affairs.

Not only Ye Ying knew about this, but Zhang Lexuan also did. She winked mischievously at Ye Ying with her beautiful eyes, "Brother Ying, you're the one who will take that turtle shell later!"

Ye Ying agreed, after all, the situation on the field was already very clear, and the team that Xu family was in had a very obvious advantage.

A quarter of an hour later, the Xu family youth, who had regained his strength with the help of the support-type Soul Masters of Shrek Academy, returned to the stage with his teammates.

As soon as he stepped forward, the young man from the Xu family stared intently at Ye Ying. "You brat from the Ye family, just you wait. Today, I, Xu Le, will beat you so badly that even your own father wouldn't recognize you!"

Ye Ying smiled calmly, "You've got quite the nerve. If I didn't know your surname was Xu, I'd think your martial spirit was a toad!"

"You...just you wait!"

The atmosphere was already tense even before any action was taken.

At the command of part-time referee Du Weilun, Ye Ying, Zhang Lexuan, and Wu Ming quickly activated their martial spirits.

Wu Ming directly confronted the offensive-type Soul Master on the other side, while Ye Ying held Zhang Lexuan's back and used her second Soul Skill to teleport her directly in front of the control-type Soul Master on the other side, and then used Moon Blade to strike her face-to-face.

Then, facing the aggressive Xu Le, Ye Ying unleashed three silver-white arrows with the power of her first soul skill – the Spirit of the Dark Moon.

The arrows were like streaks of light, and it was impossible to dodge them at close range. Xu Le could only raise his black Xuanming shield to defend himself.

Three long arrows struck in succession, each one hitting the shield with a dull thud, forcing Xu Le to retreat five or six steps.

"That's powerful enough, let's do it again!"

Xu Le roared and charged at Ye Ying with his shield once more.

While Xu Le was defending himself, Ye Ying dodged and moved away, and an arrow flew past Xu Le's scalp, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn, you almost cracked my skull open!"

Xu Le launched into a tirade against Ye Ying.

Ye Ying raised an eyebrow. "Your warm-up's over. Let's see how many arrows you can block now!"

Immediately, Ye Ying held the Moon Soul Bow, quickly condensing an arrow in his hand. As he fired it, he condensed another arrow at the same time.

Three arrows were fired in quick succession, all from the same trajectory. The second arrow arrived at the same time the first one struck.

Within a second, the combined force of three arrows was too much for Xu Le to bear, and he was sent flying, cracking even the Xuanming Shield in his hand.

Slowly getting to his feet, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He whispered, "I surrender!"

Not long after Xu Le conceded defeat, his two companions were also dealt with by Wu Ming.

Stepping off the stage, Wu Ming looked at Zhang Lexuan with some resentment and said, "Sister Lexuan, you just watched me fight that guy without helping me at all!"

Upon hearing Wu Ming's complaint, Ye Ying turned to look at her. Wu Ming was secretly delighted: It's not bad to make Sister Le Xuan feel embarrassed in front of your fiancé!

For a moment, Zhang Lexuan was indeed a little embarrassed. ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ Oh dear, I was just sneaking around fishing for a little while, and I got caught already?

To Wu Ming's surprise, Ye Ying didn't say anything, but simply took Zhang Lexuan's hand and led her back to Class Nine's residence.

Wu Ming's eyes widened in surprise. "What am I expecting? You guys are in cahoots!"

The freshman competition has now ended, as it eliminated most of the students who were deemed "unqualified" by Shrek Academy.

Next, the first-year students were reassigned to classes based on their martial spirit type.

Unlike the previous classes where various Soul Masters were mixed together, this class division will also determine the future direction of cultivation.

Apart from Mo Yuan, Ye Ying and the other two are all offensive types, and they will still be assigned to the same class.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect this, I actually won! I'll have to think carefully about the reward, this is such a headache!"

Old Master Xuan, who was eating a chicken leg and drinking wine, glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who was standing and talking, with a hint of disdain, and said in a low voice, "You asked for this, who can you blame?"
