Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be a defeated opponent. What? You haven't had enough of being beaten in the freshman competition, and now you want to be beaten again?" Tuoba Wukong didn't tolerate anyone. Having lived another life, he was still an unrestrained person. Although he was devoted to the Dao, he would not wrong himself.

It's best not to provoke him, because once you do, he's a lawless person.

During the freshman competition, he knew that exposing the injustices they had suffered would almost offend the Death Soul Empire, but Tuoba Wukong didn't care. He only cared about whether he felt at ease.

"Fine, let's fight! Do you think I'm afraid of you? You're just a lowly commoner. If it weren't for Tu Nan Bu Po and the soul tool, how could you possibly defeat me?" Zhu Lu slammed her hand on the table and stood up to glare at Tuoba Wu Kong, still resentful about losing to him in the freshman competition.

Originally, she wasn't so resentful of Tuoba Wukong, after all, Tuoba Wukong had indeed shown remarkable strength, and the defensive power of his spatial gate was quite astonishing. However, after learning that Tuoba Wukong was just a good-for-nothing who had only obtained his first soul ring three months ago, an ordinary commoner without any sect or faction, Zhu Lu felt unbalanced.

Yesterday, she was very happy to hear that Tuoba Wukong's name was not among the core disciples of the Martial Soul system announced by Du Weilun.

A piece of trash is a piece of trash. So what if he gets lucky and wins first place? The academy has discerning eyes. How could they not see through this seemingly strong but actually weak piece of trash? What use is innate superhuman strength?

However, when Zhu Lu saw Tuoba Wukong's calm eyes, she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

He's a good-for-nothing, a commoner. What right does he have to look at me with such disdain? What right does he have to ignore them? What right does he have to dine with them?

The calmness in Tuoba Wukong's eyes stung Zhu Lu's pride.

"If you want to fight, go outside. Don't break the tables and chairs in the cafeteria." After swallowing the last bite of his food, Tuoba Wukong turned around and left the cafeteria.

Zhu Lu followed closely behind, looking unconvinced.

Dai Huabin and Tu Nanbupo also came out, but neither of them stopped the conflict between Tuoba Wukong and Zhu Lu.

Tu Nan Bu Po believed in Tuoba Wu Kong's strength, while Dai Hua Bin also believed in Zhu Lu. Zhu Lu's provocation of Tuoba Wu Kong might not have been unintentional.

Dai Huabin also wanted to test this newcomer who was very close to the successor of the Tu Nan family in advance to see if he still had any real skills or talents after leaving Tu Nan Bu Po, and whether he would pose a threat to the family.

"This is going to be good!"

Seeing the two people facing off outside the cafeteria, many Shrek Academy students who were having breakfast gathered around excitedly.

Shrek Academy is never short of friction.

"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre" is one of the hallmarks of Shrek Academy and a favorite saying of the first dean of Shrek Academy. Although this saying has been criticized by many Soul Masters in recent years, it has always been followed within Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy also tacitly allows its students to spar privately.

"The betting is open! Everyone, guess who will win this round, Zhu Lu or Tuoba Wukong? Zhu Lu is 3 to 1, Tuoba Wukong is 1 to 3. Place your bets now..." Zhou Sichen, who had fought Tuoba Wukong in the freshman competition, immediately shouted loudly, and many students placed their bets.

Gambling is rampant in the Douluo Continent, and there are also gamblers among the Shrek Academy students.

Tuoba Wukong glanced at Zhou Sichen, then tossed out a heavy bag. "Five hundred gold coins. I'll bet myself I'll win."

This was almost all of Tuoba Wukong's remaining gold coins. After entering Shrek Academy, he became obsessed with cultivation, and his gold coins were only going out and not coming in. His wallet was almost empty. Now that he had a rare opportunity, he naturally wanted to make a fortune.

"Three thousand gold coins, Zhu Lu wins." Dai Huabin tossed out a gold bag without even panting, containing a full three thousand gold coins, displaying his immense wealth.

"One hundred gold coins, Tuoba wins." Tu Nan Bu Po gritted his teeth and took out almost all of his money.

This also shows the stark difference in treatment between the White Tiger family and the Tu Nan family, both possessing top-tier martial souls. Dai Huabin, the eldest son of the White Tiger family, lacks nothing but luxury and can easily take out three thousand gold coins as if it were just eating and drinking. However, one hundred gold coins represents all of Tu Nan Bupo's wealth.

"Three thousand gold coins, that's too much." Zhou Sichen was not happy at all, seeing Dai Huabin's generous attitude. He could tell from the betting odds that he favored Zhu Lu, who had two spirit rings. If Dai Huabin bet so much and Zhu Lu won, he would lose a lot.

That was his secret stash of money.

Cao Jinxuan, who was next to him, glanced at him and took out a bag as well. "I bet on Tuoba Wukong, five hundred gold coins."

"Old Cao, you're my savior! Thank you, thank you so much!" Zhou Sichen immediately grasped Cao Jinxuan's hand. Cao Jinxuan had rescued him from danger. Even if Tuoba Wukong lost, with Cao Jinxuan and Tuoba Wukong's bets, the losses could be recovered.

Cao Jinxuan said irritably, "Don't be so happy yet. You won't be laughing when Tuoba Wukong wins."

Compared to Zhu Lu, Cao Jinxuan believed that Tuoba Wukong, who had single-handedly withstood multiple strong attacks, was definitely no less powerful than Zhu Lu.

"Let's begin!" Without a referee, Tuoba Wukong shouted, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

"It's just an ordinary weapon!" Zhu Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain and ecstasy. If Tuoba Wukong used a heavy shield, with his innate superhuman strength, she would have a hard time breaking through his defenses. But Tuoba Wukong was so arrogant as to use a spear to fight her.

Zhu Lu, who had been somewhat insecure, suddenly became confident. The Netherworld Cat Martial Soul directly possessed her body. After the Martial Soul possessed her, her body became taller and more agile, like a nimble black cat. She silently stepped on the ground and turned into a blur as she rushed towards Tuoba Wukong, her ten fingers flicking out cat claws that gleamed with cold light.

Zhu Lu's speed is definitely the fastest among this year's freshmen. Without Ning Tian's soul skill, Nanmen Yun'er's speed is far from comparable to Zhu Lu's. Although the Netherworld Cat is not as powerful as the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, it is still a top-tier beast martial soul second only to the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.

How could she not have the confidence and strength to challenge Tuoba Wukong?

The reason they couldn't break through Tuoba Wukong's defense on the stage was simply because Dai Huabin was under greater pressure. They had to finish the fight quickly, one-on-one, and she wasn't afraid of Tuoba Wukong.

Zhu Lu suddenly appeared, and Tuoba Wukong's spear flashed like a dragon, directly thrusting towards Zhu Lu.

"Netherworld Thrust!" Zhu Lu shouted, unleashing her second soul skill, transforming into a blur.

The spear thrust out, but missed its target entirely.

Zhu Lu's figure flashed, and she had already arrived behind Tuoba Wukong. Her ten sharp claws immediately unleashed hundreds of claw shadows, grabbing at Tuoba Wukong.

Netherworld Hundred Claws.

With countless claws falling, Tuoba Wukong, whose body was now one with Tuoba Wukong, would not fare well either.

The Xuan Tie Heavy Spear was unstoppable, but once it missed, its terrifying weight made it difficult to defend in time. Tuoba Wukong simply didn't have time to use the Xuan Tie Heavy Spear to defend.

boom!

A silver portal appeared, and the light of the millennium soul ring flashed, blocking all of Zhu Lu's attacks.

Zhu Lu was not surprised by the appearance of Tongtian Gate. After all, it was this Tongtian Gate that suddenly appeared. Tuoba Wukong used a double shield tactic to block both her and Cui Yajie's simultaneous attacks on the arena.

Tuoba Wukong now only has one shield.

Zhu Lu's figure flashed, and her already reserved attack instantly stopped. In a flash, she appeared in front of Tuoba Wukong. Her speed was so fast that Tuoba Wukong had no time to block Tongtian Gate in front of him.

This was Zhu Lu's tactic: to bypass Tuoba Wukong's defenses at an extremely fast speed, leaving Tuoba Wukong no time to defend himself.

Zhu Lu was too fast.

Tuoba Wukong drew his spear to parry, but the Xuan Tie Heavy Spear was too heavy after all. Although Tuoba Wukong could wield it freely, his speed would inevitably be affected. Hundreds of claw shadows fell, and although the Xuan Tie Heavy Spear blocked most of the attacks, a few claw shadows still passed through the spear and landed on his chest.

Tuoba Wukong's chest was instantly covered in blood and gore, staining his school uniform red.

Tongtianmen returned to defend, but Zhu Lu retreated again and launched an attack from behind Tuoba Wukong.

Seeing this, Dai Huabin couldn't help but smile, and the worry in his eyes disappeared.

Zhou Sichen was also excited, his fingers constantly calculating how much he could earn this time. He said smugly, "Old Cao, you're convinced now. I've been running this for many years, and my eyes are already like discerning eyes. I can easily see the strength of everyone. Tuoba Wukong won the championship of the freshman competition entirely because Tu Nan Bupo's powerful strength put a lot of pressure on his opponent, which allowed Tuoba Wukong to show his outstanding performance. Without Tu Nan Bupo, he would just be an ordinary defensive soul master."

Cao Jinxuan said calmly, "Not necessarily. I also trust my judgment of people."

Sure enough, just as Zhu Lu's attack was about to land on Tuoba Wukong's back, Tuoba Wukong suddenly released the Xuan Tie Heavy Spear in his hand and then dodged Zhu Lu's attack with incredible speed.

In terms of speed, he was never slower than anyone else.

When his two bodies are combined, both his speed and strength will increase significantly.

Previously, it was only the heavy shield and the black iron spear that limited his speed.

Moreover, he has now fused with a leg soul bone. Even though Zhu Lu is a genius of the Netherworld Clan, she is not without competitors in the Netherworld Clan, and it is impossible for her to obtain a soul bone at this age.

With this shift in momentum, Tuoba Wukong's speed was still superior to Zhu Lu's.
