Douluo Continent: Ink Bamboo as a Cauldron to Break Through Ten Thousand Heavens

Chen Cheng waved to the three people below the stage, then glanced at Director Du on the other side of the stands. He was deep in thought and had no time to pay attention to others.

"Perhaps Director Du is wondering why they didn't use Spirit Fusion? Although Huo Yuhao and his team didn't use Spirit Fusion, their tactical arrangement was indeed brilliant. From the beginning, Wang Dong fully utilized his advantage of being able to fly. At the same time, he only had one goal: to restrain Ning Tian and prevent her from providing any amplification effects. As a result, Nanmen Yun'er, who was closest to Mingtian, had to protect Ning Tian. However, because Wang Dong had the advantage in the air, he maintained the initiative. Seeing this, Wu Feng was eager to save his master and lost his will to fight. In addition, he underestimated Huo Yuhao, so his mentality was a bit shattered. Therefore, his various erratic maneuvers were easily countered by Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao. If we have to nitpick about the other side, one is that Wu Feng's mentality was not good, and the other is that Ning Tian has no ability to protect herself. Just restraining Ning Tian is equivalent to restraining at least two people."

Director Du had already given a slight nod to those around him before stepping down from the stands. Chen Cheng frowned slightly upon seeing this. He now suspected that Director Du might have come specifically to watch Huo Yuhao's team's match. Their game had just ended, and they were already preparing to leave. If that were the case, then there was nothing surprising about encountering Ning Tian's team. Even the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament could guarantee several teams that consistently fought their way to the finals, only meeting them at the very end. To say there was absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation was impossible, let alone a simple freshman assessment draw.

"However, since the match this morning seemed to have taken a lot of energy, even if it's to fully test their strength, we probably won't encounter any more Soul Masters this afternoon. There's no need to go watch the match this afternoon; I'll just stay in the experimental area and work on my Level 5 Soul Tool."

With that thought in mind, Chen Cheng also left the arena.

As they walked away, they saw Ning Tian and her team. Nanmen Yun'er was just a classmate, so she said a few words and left. But Wu Feng, with his strong and fierce personality, seemed to be crying in Ning Tian's arms.

Chen Cheng was quite surprised by this: "I remember in the original story, after Wu Feng saw Huo Yuhao use the amplified soul impact of Hao Dong's power to instantly kill Ning Tian, ​​he gritted his teeth and thought about how to get revenge after the competition. If Ning Tian hadn't been reasonable and stopped him, this guy would have really gone even further than Dai Huabin. Now, she's actually crying like a little girl, all wet with tears streaming down her face?"

"If the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School knew that letting Wu Feng come along would cause all this chaos, wouldn't they regret it? After all, as a sect that primarily focuses on support-type Soul Masters, their need for talent is no less than that of various academies. Ning Tian, ​​as the young sect leader, came to Shrek Academy, and a large part of the sect's purpose was probably to have him find a talented person to grow with, form a bond, and bring back to the sect to enhance its prestige. But with that brainless 'dynamite' by his side, let alone forming good relationships with other geniuses, it would be a miracle if he didn't bring shame to the sect!"

The rest of the time, apart from eating and answering Chu Chen's questions, Chen Cheng was designing his own level-five soul tool.

Occasionally glancing up at Chu Chen, who was intently studying the soul tool, Chen Cheng felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Is this a sign of being a know-it-all? Or is it that all teachers actually have this mentality?

He shook his head and continued to dedicate himself to the soul tool business.

During dinner, everyone gathered to chat. Based on the three kids' descriptions, the team they encountered in the afternoon was indeed quite weak, even remnants of Zhou Yi's class. Despite having made it to the knockout stage, they cried as if they were about to be expelled after losing. It's safe to say the atmosphere in their class is a bit...

The evening proceeded as usual, but the difference was that previously only Chen Cheng and Huo Yuhao discussed knowledge and ideas about soul tools. Now, with Chu Chen joining in, the discussions covered a wider range of topics. However, Chu Chen was still a beginner, and often her thinking couldn't keep up with Huo Yuhao and Chen Cheng's leaps in thought. In addition, her perspective wasn't yet broad enough, so most of the time she was the one asking questions, which the other two would then answer.

Even so, it quickly brought the three of them closer together, and Chu Chen was no longer as shy and hesitant as before.

As for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, it's fair to say that without the Clear Sky Hammer's support, Chu Chen found it extremely difficult to learn. However, practicing this technique was equivalent to body training. Each time he pushed his body to its limits, combined with a medicinal bath, Chu Chen's physical attributes improved rapidly. After all, both the age of his spirit rings and the learning of various ultimate techniques required a better body. The medicinal bath combined with the Mysterious Heaven Technique did indeed nourish Chu Chen's body. He no longer verbally expressed his gratitude, but a feeling of appreciation was taking root in his heart.

Those who help others find a way out are always respected.

"Don't think you're controlling your martial spirit while you're punching. Imagine your martial spirit is part of your fist technique, and treat the robe as your own original clothing. Let the yin and yang energies blend into your fist technique!"

It was time for morning training again. Chen Cheng was guiding the movements from the side, while the three little ones watched as Chu Chen gradually corrected his mistakes under his guidance.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go eat. I think your opponent today might be quite formidable."

Chen Cheng clapped his hands, effectively ending the morning's training. But more than eating, his speculation about their opponent in the second half of his statement clearly intrigued the three children.

"Brother Chen Cheng, you don't know anything inside, do you? 64 teams, and yesterday we were able to directly encounter a Soul Master. From what you're saying, the opponents we face today won't be weak either?"

Huo Yuhao organized his thoughts and asked.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong also joined in, chattering away.

Chen Cheng gestured for them to stop, indicating they were too noisy, before slowly speaking, "Yesterday I saw Director Du watching your team the whole time, and he left after your match, so I guess he's paying close attention to you. If the opponents were too weak, he might not gain much, but right now his attention to you is probably just at the 'interest' stage. Unless you actually make it to the top 16, maybe higher-ups will come to watch your matches. Therefore, the teams this morning should be slightly stronger, enough to keep you from being eliminated, but it won't be as easy as yesterday afternoon. At least, you definitely won't run into Dai Huabin's team. I've watched their matches; Dai Huabin single-handedly wiped out the opposing team."

Huo Yuhao wanted to say something, but seeing Chen Cheng's gaze fixed on him, he remained silent. He understood Chen Cheng's meaning: a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. Now, all he could do was become stronger, and the way to become stronger was to seize every opportunity he could.

Having spent so much time together, Huo Yuhao had gained some understanding of Chen Cheng's way of thinking. He now knew that someone was paying attention to them, and that this attention was mostly secured by Chen Cheng. However, yesterday's performance wasn't enough to make that attention "worth it." To achieve their next goal, today's match required them to demonstrate something more that would "interest" those people!

"I understand, Brother Chen Cheng, thank you." Huo Yuhao nodded and said.

"Hmm? What does he understand? It's not like kids are all grown up now; they're unwilling to express their thoughts directly. How am I supposed to know what he's thinking if he doesn't explain? I just casually mentioned something gossipy, how did he suddenly say 'I understand'? Or does he think my guess is very reasonable? That shouldn't be the case; it was just a casual remark. Besides, in the original story, Huo Yuhao's team had really bad luck at the beginning. Out of 64 teams, they encountered two Soul Master teams in the first few rounds, and Xiao Xiao even exhausted them, unable to participate in several matches. I just gave a slight hint, how did it become like he suddenly understood something?"

Huo Yuhao didn't say much, and Chen Cheng didn't press further; it was just the price of cultivating a certain persona.

However, Chen Cheng's mood improved slightly because the other three people besides the two of them also looked completely confused.

When I arrived at the stadium in the morning, there were a few unfamiliar faces in the stands. Then, Director Du was still in charge of the draw.

After the draw, Director Du returned to the same spot as yesterday. This time, however, he greeted the unfamiliar faces around him.

"It seems that other people have come to pay attention to the freshmen. Huo Yuhao and his team will probably be playing against a slightly stronger Soul Master team this morning. I wonder what Huo Yuhao was thinking this morning. We can only wait and see on the field later."

As the two teams entered, Huo Yuhao's opponents had very distinctive physiques. Even Chen Cheng, who hadn't followed their matches before, could guess their identities: a tall, round boy stood in the middle, his height and width perfectly aligned, looking like a dumpling that had jumped out of a party game. The two boys standing on either side of him looked like sticks compared to him, completely like mere decorations. Judging by their physiques alone, it was clear that this was Xie Huanyue's team.

"Announce your names and prepare for the match!" At the interviewer's command, Chen Cheng sat up straight. After all, Xiao Xiao was injured after this match in the original story. Now, with so many butterfly effects, the match has come early, and who knows how it will develop.

"My name is Xie Huanyue, from Class 2 of the freshmen class." The mountain of flesh, who was a head taller than Huo Yuhao and the others, patted his chest, and his whole body trembled.

"Luo Tianlong, Class 2, Freshmen."

"Luo Tianba, Class 2, Freshmen."

Huo Yuhao also announced his name, and then the match began, with both sides making their moves.

On Xie Huan Yue's side, three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—suddenly appeared on his body. His body suddenly swelled, and he, already like a mountain of flesh, became even taller, growing to over 3 meters. His skin and flesh pulsated incessantly, turning dark and elastic. He pounded his hands on his chest, walking towards Huo Yuhao and the other two with an extremely oppressive aura.

The other two brothers immediately hid behind the seemingly towering Xie Huanyue. However, this concealment was actually of no use in the mental detection. Therefore, the X-ray vision cheat is far too overpowered, whether in the game or in the Douluo world!

On Huo Yuhao's side, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao still released their martial souls, but this time, Huo Yuhao didn't stand next to Xiao Xiao. Instead, he came behind Wang Dong and hugged Wang Dong's waist from behind. Then, Wang Dong's dazzling wings completely covered Huo Yuhao.

"Is he preparing to use Spirit Fusion? It seems Huo Yuhao took my words this morning as a sign that he was about to reveal his trump card and attract the academy's attention. But that's fine too; at least using Spirit Fusion in this match is the right thing to do. After all, I don't want them to be injured for several days because of a freshman competition."

Just as Chen Cheng had thought, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's soul power had now merged. With the amplification of Hao Dong's power, their subsequent soul skills would be incredibly powerful and effective.

However, apart from Chen Cheng and his small group, those who knew that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had a fusion of martial souls, and the onlookers in the stands who had heard rumors before, most people expressed great incomprehension of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's actions.

In particular, Xie Huanyue believed that the two men embracing each other like that meant nothing but provocation.
