Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 211 The Preliminaries End, Each Person's Dream

How much confidence does it take to do that in the qualifying rounds?

Hu Liena was deeply shocked.

At the same time, she also felt anger.

This shows that Xiao Wu completely disregards the strength of their Golden Generation!

"Take this!"

Enraged, Hu Liena forced herself to calm down and prepared to use her sixth soul skill. But as soon as she activated her soul power, her whole body trembled, and her internal organs felt as if they were about to explode.

"cough!"

Hu Liena coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, staring at Xiao Wu with resentment. "What kind of tricks are you using now?"

"Didn't I just say that?"

"I simply pressed your pressure points and disrupted your soul power."

Xiao Wu shrugged, watching the smoke gradually dissipate around her, and slowly explained, "Although the skills of a spirit ring can be used as long as spirit power is injected, the spirit master also needs to assume a specific posture to assist in activating the spirit ring's skills. However, your spirit power circulation was disrupted by me, forcing you to use a spirit skill..."

"Let me think, how should I put it?"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

"That's right, it's like a soul-guided lamp. If one of the lines in the soul power circulation loop inside is broken, the lamp won't light up, or it's short-circuited."

After Xiao Wu kindly explained, the surrounding pink smoke dissipated, and the scene on the field was clearly visible.

Hu Liena fell to the ground.

"Xiao Wu wins against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for the Spirit Hall team, and helplessly announced the final result.

This result was unexpected.

Although the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team were indeed powerful, and almost everyone could accept the defeat of the Spirit Hall Team, no one expected that the Heaven Dou side would defeat all seven members of the Spirit Hall Team with just two women—and among these seven were three Soul Emperors!

Why is the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team so strong?

However, one thing is certain: the "Double Dance" of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is undoubtedly famous.

"Sister Xiaowu, you're amazing!" Guangling's eyes were filled with admiration. "You actually defeated a Soul Emperor, four Soul Masters, and the remaining Soul Emperor in a row."

"Hehe." Xiao Wu waved her hand casually, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect their one-on-one fighting ability to be so strong."

In fact, in terms of actual combat ability, everyone in the Spirit Hall team is stronger than Xiao Wu. After all, as can be seen from the "encirclement and suppression of the Fallen Ones" incident, the members of the Spirit Hall team usually carry out similar missions to hone their combat abilities.

However, under Tang San's guidance, Huo Wu moved towards mastering gravity, and Xiao Wu closely followed in Tang San's footsteps. Even though their combat experience was inferior, as long as their physical attributes were superior, they could crush the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall in terms of strength.

After Hu Liena was healed, she walked over to Xiao Wu, extended her palm, and said, "You are a very good opponent. I hope there will be another opportunity to fight you in the future."

"Sister Xiaowu, I don't mind." Xiaowu grasped Hu Liena's hand, which could be considered an acknowledgment of Hu Liena as an opponent. "When it comes to cunning, you can't compare to a rabbit."

"Tch~ That's not necessarily true." Hu Liena loosened her grip and shook it off with a hint of disgust, which angered Xiao Wu, but she ultimately didn't say anything.

Hu Liena looked at Tang San and asked, "Aren't you planning to play in the promotion matches?"

"I personally don't like to show off," Tang San said with a smile.

Hu Liena: "..."

Don't like being in the spotlight?

So you revealed your 100,000-year soul ring in the first match of the preliminary elimination rounds?

It is estimated that he was seriously injured in the previous battle with that 300,000-year-old soul beast and has not fully recovered. It is unlikely that he will be at his peak in the finals.

If that's the case, then the Spirit Hall has a pretty good chance of winning.

After all, she and her brother possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Demon Charm, whose strength is comparable to that of a Soul Douluo. Even if Xiao Wu, Huo Wu, Yu Tianheng, and others are strong enough to fight beyond their level, Demon Charm should be able to handle them as well.

However, it will be a tough battle.

"I didn't realize you, a master of martial spirit theory, were so humorous." Hu Liena chuckled. "I look forward to facing you in the finals, but don't say we won unfairly."

"I'm looking forward to it." Tang San didn't explain anything, just said politely, and shook hands with Hu Liena, a gesture of mutual recognition between the two team captains...

···

After the battle with the Spirit Hall team, the Heaven Dou Royal Team only has the battle against the Star Luo Royal Team left.

However, when it was the turn of the two teams to meet, the Star Luo Royal Team suddenly surrendered and gave up the match.

"Why aren't we competing anymore?" Tang San asked curiously.

"If even the captain isn't participating, I don't think it's interesting. We might as well just concede." Davis stretched, his broad chest rising and falling with his breath, like a crouching tiger rising again, his kingly aura pressing down on everyone in the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

Apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, who remained calm and composed, everyone else showed a hint of seriousness.

It's obvious that Davis had been hiding his strength during the previous qualifiers, but the power he's unleashed now carries the aura of a king—the true majesty of a tiger king.

It's hard for anyone to imagine the brutal training Davis went through before this Continental Elite Tournament began.

"Even without the pressure of competing for the throne, I have been working hard to fight you. I went directly to places where soul beasts gather, such as Sunset Forest and Star Dou Great Forest, to fight a tiger king of ten thousand years."

Davis spoke casually, but everyone present couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. After all, not everyone had the courage to go to places like the Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest to challenge a ten-thousand-year-old tiger king.

Then, everyone couldn't help but compare Dai Mubai with him again, and found that in every aspect, whether it was the pride of being a prince, the hard work of being a soul master, or the courage and decisiveness to face danger, none of them could compare to the Dai Weisi in front of them.

The two are not even in the same league!

Dai Mubai simply can't compete!

No, he doesn't even have the right to compete! And Dai Mubai has indeed long since lost the right to compete!

"Then let's have a showdown in the finals." Tang San stepped forward and extended his right hand to Davis.

Davis clenched his fists and exerted his strength, circulating his soul power, but Tang San felt like a towering mountain or the entire starry sky, something he couldn't lift up at all.

What a horrible body this is!

He is definitely not injured!

With these two thoughts popping into his mind, Davis already understood that the Star Luo Royal Team could not possibly defeat Tang San in the finals. This guy was so strong that he didn't seem like a human at all, but rather a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

"Um, can you let go now? Holding on like this is not in accordance with Your Highness's manners," Tang San reminded him with a smile.

"Haha! Sorry, I just couldn't help myself for a moment." Davis said with a slightly ambiguous tone, laughed twice, and let go of Tang San's hand. He wanted to chat with Tang San a little more, but Chrysanthemum Douluo chased them both away on the grounds that "we shouldn't interfere with the next group's battle."

"Weisi, how is Tang San?" Zhu Zhuyun turned to look at the Heaven Dou Royal Team heading towards the other exit, inquiring about Tang San's condition. "Was he really seriously injured while fighting that 300,000-year-old soul beast? Do we have a chance to win?"

"No." Davis said solemnly, "His physical body is terrifyingly strong, even stronger than the Ten Thousand Year Tiger King I fought. I can't sense his soul power, but with such a strong body, his soul power must be quite strong as well. I estimate that his strength is already comparable to a Title Douluo."

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Even if he has a 100,000-year soul ring, he's still just a Soul King." Zhu Zhuyun was shocked.

Title Douluo?

What are they fighting for? Are they looking for death?

"Maybe," Davis wasn't too sure either, "but one thing is for sure: as long as he's on the court, even if we're outnumbered seven to one, we're no match for him."

"so--"

"We need to consider what tactics we should use in the finals to find a way to trap Tang San."

For Davis, even if he can't beat an opponent, he still needs to compete. He doesn't have the mentality of striving for second place if he can't get first place.

If he has this kind of mentality, how is he any different from Dai Mubai?

Zhu Zhuyun, however, had an idea and said, "How about we call Xu Xing from Xingguan Academy over when the finals begin? Although his strength is poor, his domain, which he calls the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array... the array looks pretty powerful. It almost defeated the Spirit Hall team's Spirit Fusion Technique."

"Him?" Davis was taken aback at first, then his face darkened. "That guy's existence is not a good thing for either of our families."

"Isn't this even better?" Zhu Zhuyun sneered. "The Star Crown Sect has produced such a monster. In the future, he will definitely covet the throne. That kid is also an ignorant and arrogant person. When the Heaven Dou Royal Team came to our place for exchanges, I heard that Xu Xing had some opinions about Tang San."

"Using someone else to do the dirty work?"

Davis pondered for a moment, considering the pros and cons, and said, "It's a good plan. With Xu Xing's arrogant personality, he will definitely want to compete with Tang San. Although Tang San has a mild temper, he will also strike back hard against those who mock him for no reason."

"However, for Xu Xing to be able to use that domain-type skill, the other six people need to convert their soul power into star power and transfer it to him. Otherwise, if we let him join our team, he will be a burden, and we will have to spare some effort to protect him."

He thought, "I'll cripple Xu Xing."

He wanted to win the championship even more.

"Are there any rules in the competition that stipulate that participating team members cannot receive soul power transfers from other soul masters before going on stage?" Zhu Zhuyun asked rhetorically.

"It seems there really isn't one." Davis was stunned. He thought about the rules of the Continental Elite Tournament carefully and realized that there really wasn't such a written rule. After all, in previous major tournaments, even if other Soul Masters transferred Soul Power to the participating team members, it was only to help the participating members adjust their state.

Moreover, the conditions for transferring soul power are extremely demanding. If the attributes of the soul power are inconsistent or incompatible, it can easily cause conflicts in the soul power within the soul master's body.

But Xu Xing wouldn't...

However, it is estimated that when the next Continental Elite Tournament begins, a new rule will be added: Soul power transfer from non-participating Soul Masters will not be allowed!

In fact, we should thank Tang San for the "Three Categories of Martial Soul Fusion Techniques".

Otherwise, so many Spirit Fusion Techniques wouldn't have appeared in this competition—you must know, in previous competitions, Spirit Fusion Techniques were extremely rare; even the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire might not be able to find two people capable of Spirit Fusion...

···

Two days later, in the battle between the Spirit Hall team and the Star Luo Royal team, Davis defeated the stronger opponent with the strength of a Soul King, defeating Yan, who was at the Soul Emperor level. In the second match, due to insufficient soul power and the serious injuries he sustained in the first match against Yan, he was easily defeated by Xie Yue. Then, Xie Yue defeated the Star Luo Royal team in a six-on-one battle.

"Davis is quite impressive, managing to defeat Soul Emperor Yan with a slight advantage." After saying this, Yu Feng thought of something and said to Huo Wu, "Vice Captain Huo Wu, that Yan, despite being a Soul Emperor, was defeated by you and Davis, both Soul Kings. Won't people think he's the weakest Soul Emperor?"

Huo Wu clicked her tongue, as if mocking Yu Feng's ignorance. With one hand on her hip and the other on the railing, she chuckled, "Yan is not weak. He can also fight beyond his level. It's just that both I and Davis can only go beyond higher levels. If you become a Soul King and perfect your self-created Soul Skill under Captain Tang San's guidance, you won't be able to win so easily when you challenge him at this stage."

Yu Feng shrugged: "We'll still win, right?"

Huo Wu nodded, then added a condition: "You have to be a Soul King, and his strength must not improve during your process of becoming a Soul King."

Tang San then spoke up: "Although Yan seems a bit straightforward, that's in terms of his character. As for his martial soul cultivation, being able to reach the Soul Emperor level at this age isn't just because he has abundant resources; he also has a certain understanding and insight into martial souls. I estimate that after being defeated twice, he will definitely be able to figure something out."

"The world has no shortage of geniuses," Yu Tianheng sighed, "but there is absolutely no one more talented than the captain."

"Don't flatter me, isn't Huo Yuhao one?" Tang San laughed.

"How can that be the same? That's a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and a 380,000-year-old one at that... Maybe there really are million-year-old soul beasts in those unexplored regions." A strange glint flashed in Yu Feng's eyes, then he solemnly told Tang San and the others his dream, "I've decided! After this tournament, Xiang Xiang and I will go out together to explore unknown territories and become an adventurer couple!"

Bai Chenxiang blushed and exclaimed, "Hey, I haven't agreed yet!"

"Huh? You didn't agree?" Yu Feng was taken aback, then chuckled, knelt on one knee, and asked sincerely, "Then, I'm asking for your opinion again. Do you agree now?"

"That depends on the sect. It's easy to talk to my grandfather, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—"

Ning Rongrong snorted and said, "You bastard who forgets his friends for the sake of a pretty face. However, I, this young lady, will reluctantly agree to your marriage with Yu Feng. I will persuade my father, so you don't need to worry."

Bai Chenxiang was extremely grateful: "Thank you, Rongrong."

"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong put on a stern face ╭(╯^╰)╮, "You used to call me Miss, now you call me Rongrong, just like the first time Third Brother met me. However, I agree to let you call me that."

After the laughter subsided, Tang San asked about the others' futures: "What do you plan to do in the future? Go back to your families and inherit their businesses?"

Yu Tianheng chuckled and said, "My family has plans for me, but I'll keep that a secret for now."

Dugu Yan glanced at Yu Tianheng and smiled helplessly: "As for me, of course I'll follow my husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog."

Huo Wu shrugged: "I don't have any plans. Maybe I'll accept the title bestowed by the Heaven Dou Empire, get a noble title, and then go back to Blazing Fire Academy to inherit the family business? Or maybe I'll work hard to cultivate and strive to become a Title Douluo... That's about it."

Oslo scratched his head and said, "My situation is similar to that of Vice Captain Huowu. I'm going home to manage the family. After all, I'm the eldest son of the family, and I definitely can't be too carefree until my parents plan to have another child."

Shi Mo said, "My brother and I plan to go to the coastal areas after graduation. After all, our martial souls are both Xuan Turtle, which are water-attribute, so we can cultivate faster there."

Shi Mo said, "Besides that, we want to explore the ocean. After all, since the effects of whale glue became known, the family has been focusing some of its efforts on coastal cities, hoping to one day capture whales and obtain whale glue."

Ye Lingling considered for a moment and said, "As for me, I might consider the suggestion the captain once made to me: to become a doctor and heal the sick. After all, my martial spirit is best at healing. But I need to think about how to convince my family."

After all, as a Soul Master, even if one's Martial Soul has no offensive power, one should not become a doctor and provide cheap services to commoners.

Even if treatment is necessary, it should be given to nobles or other Soul Masters.

This can be considered common knowledge in mainland China.

Ning Rongrong said, "My future plan is to strive to become the first Title Douluo in the sect, and then change the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"That's a bit difficult." Tang San couldn't help but laugh out loud. After all, if only one person's martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, what kind of Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is that?

If the flaws of a martial soul can only be resolved by relying on immortal herbs, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the individual strength of the sect would not change much.

"And you?" Tang San asked Lan Yinzi.

"If the captain doesn't mind, I can follow you for the time being." Lan Yinzi smiled slightly, and her words, which were almost a confession, surprised everyone with her boldness.

"Can."

Surprisingly, Tang San agreed, but then added, "There are some things I'd like to ask you privately. I hope you won't refuse or try to brush me off with some other excuse."
