Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Chapter 46 Team Invitation, Serpent Emperor Sword Master

As soon as Qi Dao returned to the Soul Master viewing area, Dugu Yan immediately came up to him, looking him up and down as if he were some rare species.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Dugu Yan said seriously, "I want to see if you are really human."

Qi Dao said, both amused and exasperated, "So what if you defeated a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul? It can't be that serious, can it?"

Dugu Yan said irritably, "So you know you defeated a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul Master?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul is hailed as the number one beast Martial Soul on the continent; how could it be a mere empty title?"

"In battles between Soul Masters of the same level, it's always the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Soul Master who fights beyond their level. Only a monster like you can turn the tables and defeat a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Soul Master."

Qi Dao smiled and then said, "Speaking of which, Yu Tianheng should be in the same class as you, senior, right?"

"He's seriously injured right now, aren't you going to go see him?"

Dugu Yan glanced at Qi Dao in surprise.

"You know about Tianheng too?"

Qi Dao spread his hands and said, "Senior Sister and that Senior Yu Tianheng are both prominent figures in the academy, so it's hard for me not to know them."

"I see!" Dugu Yan's face showed a look of realization, and then she couldn't help but say, "And you're talking about us. If word of your defeat of Yu Tianheng were to get back to the academy, your fame would instantly surpass both his and mys."

After Dugu Yan finished speaking, she glanced at the arena again; Yu Tianheng had already left.

So she shook her head and said, "Alright, it's almost my turn to compete. I need to go to the preparation area to get ready."

"As for Tianheng, it's perfectly normal for his fighting spirit to be injured. I'm not a healing-type soul master, so what would I do there?"

After hearing this, Qi Dao roughly analyzed the relationship between the two.

They were friends, but that was all. Otherwise, even with the competition imminent, Dugu Yan wouldn't have been unable to find a moment to visit Yu Tianheng.

A short while later.

Dugu Yan's competition begins.

She was lucky; her opponent was a level 23 Great Soul Master, who had a level advantage, and she easily defeated him.

Her first and second soul skills are both amplification-type poisons that are more supportive.

However, since her soul power inherently contains toxins, she can still release toxins to attack her targets.

This kind of toxin might not be very effective against beast spirit masters of similar level.

However, it is indeed a great tool for crushing weak opponents when facing ordinary Soul Masters who are low-level and have little poison resistance.

Having easily defeated her opponent, Dugu Yan was clearly in a good mood. Returning to the Soul Master viewing area, she smiled at Qi Dao and asked, "How did I feel about my performance just now?"

Qi Dao laughed and said, "I've heard that the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent is unparalleled in the world, and seeing it today, I can confirm that its reputation is well-deserved."

In fact, the terrifying aspect of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is not its toxicity, but its ability to release toxins over a wide area.

In comparison, the venom of the Porcupine Douluo and Bibi Dong is far more terrifying than that of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

The Porcupine Douluo can even absorb Dugu Bo's toxins and convert them into his own attack power, specifically to counter Dugu Bo.

"You do have some knowledge."

When Dugu Yan heard Qi Dao praise the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and an arrogant look appeared on her face.

Qi Dao then laughed and said, "Senior, didn't you say before that there were also two-on-two matches in the Great Soul Arena?"

Have you ever participated?

Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback and said, "Why would I participate in a two-on-two match if I'm all alone?"

Qi Dao narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Since you haven't participated in a 2v2 match before, how about we team up? I can carry you to victory, guaranteed wins!"

"Oh ho, so confident?" Dugu Yan looked Qi Dao up and down again, her face showing surprise.

She never expected Qi Dao to suddenly extend an invitation to her.

Prior to this, she had no intention of participating in the two-on-two competition.

However, hearing Qi Dao say that he was guaranteed to win piqued her interest even more.

It wasn't that she really wanted to participate in the two-on-two match, but seeing the strength Qi Dao displayed today made her want to know just how strong Qi Dao truly was.

After all, Qi Dao had completely dominated the match between Yu Tianheng.

This is clearly not his full strength.

People are always curious about the unknown.

Qi Dao sensed Dugu Yan's interest and continued, "Senior, what's your decision?"

After a moment's thought, Dugu Yan smiled sweetly.

"Okay, I agree!"

"After all, it's a guaranteed win, so there's no reason for me not to participate."

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao smiled.

"Would you like to try it out today, senior?"

"Then let's go!"

The two hit it off immediately and signed up for a two-on-two match.

"What's your group name?" the registration staff asked.

Dugu Yan looked at Qi and said, "Handsome young man, since it was your suggestion, you can decide the name of the group."

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao stroked his chin and looked at the registration staff, saying, "Then let's call it the Serpent Emperor Sword Master Combination."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's lips twitched slightly.

This name has such a cringeworthy, immature vibe!

The registration staff asked again, "Esteemed Battle Soul Master, are you sure you want to use Serpent Emperor Sword Sovereign as the group name?"

Qi Dao confirmed, "Confirmed!"

After saying that, he turned to Dugu Yan and said, "You are the Serpent King, and I am the Sword Master. We are a perfect match!"

"Hehe, anyway, it was your idea, so as long as you're satisfied!"

Soon, the two faced their first match.

Their opponents were also a man and a woman, and their levels were not low; one was a level 27 Great Soul Master, and the other was a level 26 Great Soul Master.

In addition, both of them are powerful offensive Soul Masters.

As soon as they stepped onto the arena, Qi Dao and Dugu Yan had already assigned their respective opponents.

Qi Dao was naturally fighting against the level 27 Great Soul Master, while Dugu Yan was fighting against another level 26 Great Soul Master.

As the match began, Qi Dao took the lead.

At this moment, Dugu Yan finally experienced just the tip of the iceberg of Qi Dao's strength.

His speed alone surpasses that of agility-type Soul Masters of the same level.

As for his power.

Out of the corner of her eye, Dugu Yan saw Qi Dao casually slash his opponent, sending him flying more than ten meters.

Two sword strikes were enough to render him incapable of fighting. Even the opponent's teammates were startled by Qi Dao, and Dugu Yan seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing that Qi Dao had freed up his hands, the other party immediately chose to surrender.

Qi Dao easily won his first two-on-two soul battle against Dugu Yan.

As they walked through the Soul Master corridor leading away from the arena, Dugu Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Little handsome guy, you're a real monster!"

Qi Dao laughed and said, "If I didn't have some skill, how could I dare to guarantee a win?"

"It was a pleasure working together this time. I'll contact you again next time I have the chance."

Dugu Yan said lazily, "Okay, since you carried me to victory, I can free up a few more days a month to come to the Great Soul Arena."

In the past, she would come to the Great Soul Arena a maximum of three times a month, and that was only to complete the mandatory tasks for Heavenly-level students.

Upon seeing this, Qi Dao's lips curled up.

In any case, he has achieved his goal for today!
