Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 351 The Semifinals Begin

"All right."

Hearing Fors's words, Na'er breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she didn't dislike Fors's actions, but her concept of chastity made her unable to accept such intimate behavior for the time being.

Fors simply held Na'er tightly, making no further moves.

"Sister Fors, let's go to sleep. We have to watch Brother's match tomorrow."

Na'er's slightly developing breasts were pressed against Fors's, but Na'er didn't dislike this feeling. On the contrary, she found it to be a unique kind of excitement and reassurance.

"Well, but Na'er, I'm hungry."

Hearing Fors's words, Na'er felt a little strange. Fors wasn't the type to eat a lot, but since Fors said she was hungry, Na'er also spoke up:

"Sister Fors, I have some pastries here. Have some to tide you over, and then we can have a proper meal at the hotel tomorrow morning..."

"Ahhh~" Na'er's voice trailed off abruptly, and she couldn't help but let out a gasp.

"Sister Fors, you~"

Nar's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Fors in disbelief. Fors was leaning down and burying her head in Nar's chest.

"Since you put it that way, Na'er, then of course I'll have to give it a try. I'm actually a little thirsty."

"Don't bite me even if you're thirsty!" Na'er was on the verge of tears.

"I don't have anything to give you to eat."

"No, don't inhale!"

……

Gu Yue lay flat on the bed, not asleep, but just staring quietly at the ceiling. She didn't want to cultivate, and she didn't even know why.

She was feeling a little anxious. Tomorrow was the semi-final, and he would be facing that Lu Fa player. She knew his personality too well. Even knowing the odds were against him, he would fight with all his might, perhaps even more fiercely than the others.

And yet, at this very moment, she gave him such a blow.

She knew she should have done it a long time ago; after all, there were many things she would have to face in the future. This day would come sooner or later. But in the past, she had always told herself there was plenty of time, no need to rush.

But as time went by, they grew up, and their strength increased as well. Days passed, and it became increasingly difficult for her to make a decision.

"Sigh—" Gu Yue sighed softly. Perhaps this was fate. Where did his bloodline come from? It seemed that destiny had its own plan, bringing him and her together. Even Na'er was the same.

However, while Na'er seems to have moved on, Gu Yue is sinking deeper and deeper into trouble. Thinking about Na'er's recent behavior, Gu Yue couldn't help but frown.

What is Na'er thinking? They are clearly one, but Gu Yue feels that things are gradually going against her expectations.

"That's true. Who in this world can be perfect and make things run entirely according to their own ideas?"

Just like when I initially agreed to that bet, it was because I felt I was certain to win that I agreed. But what about now?

"Sigh—" Another faint sigh echoed in the dark room.

Tonight, someone is destined to have trouble sleeping, and besides Gu Yue, there is another person who will also have trouble sleeping.

Through the window of the Xingluo Hotel, one could see that the lights in one of the rooms were flickering, and a strange, cold laugh could be faintly heard coming from inside.

The sound was truly terrifying, like the laughter of a vengeful ghost in a midnight movie theater.

If someone were in this room right now, just hearing that laughter would be enough to send chills down their spine.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the lights in the room are not actually turned on; only one light source makes the room appear to be dimly lit.

"You bunch of damned bastards, you've left me hanging in the living room again."

Le Zhengyu's face was contorted. Those damned bastards always held meetings in his room before every competition. But what was the result? After each meeting, they would leave him stranded in the living room. Couldn't they at least have helped carry him back to his room?

A whole hour! He was shining brightly in the living room, hoping those ungrateful bastards would notice him, but so far, not a single person has knocked on his door or asked how he was doing!

……

early morning.

Early in the morning, Nan Fusheng went to the balcony to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye. He washed up as usual. Although his spiritual power had reached a certain level, it seemed that it didn't matter whether he cultivated this ultimate technique or not, but he could still increase it a little bit.

Although the Mysterious Heaven Skill is often criticized as a low-level martial arts technique, it is undeniable that it is indeed one of the top techniques in the Douluo Continent. After all, which other technique comes with a method for cultivating mental strength like the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

Breakfast was the same as usual, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he was surprised to find that Fors had gotten up early for breakfast today, and everyone else was there too.

Tang Wulin's appetite remained the same today, even a bit larger than usual, while Na'er was not to be outdone. The two of them practically swept the entire dinner table.

"Captain, aren't you nervous at all?" Xie Xie couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tang Wulin shrugged. "Why should I be nervous? Everyone knows how strong Lu Fa is. He hasn't even used his martial soul yet, and he's already defeated two One-Word Battle Armor Masters. Losing to him isn't shameful."

Ye Xinglan looked at him intently. "You want to give up?"

Tang Wulin met her gaze, smiled calmly, and said, "Shrek's glory cannot be defended by victory alone. It can also be defended by blood."

After these words were spoken, the dining table fell silent.

Nan Fusheng's lips twitched, and he continued to bury himself in his rice; he had never been interested in this kind of topic.

Ye Xinglan lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned you."

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Besides, the Star Luo Empire should be more nervous than I am. After all, that Shenwei is also very powerful. If Long Yue can't even get past him, then things will get really bad."

Xie Xie chuckled mischievously, "Indeed, it would be quite amusing if the Star Luo Empire itself organized the competition, and their people couldn't even make it to the finals."

Just then, Xu Xiaoyan, who was eating, suddenly felt her clothes being tugged. Turning around, she saw that Na'er had stopped eating at some point and was looking at her somewhat awkwardly, asking in a low voice, "Sister Xiaoyan, do you have any skin care lotion or anything to reduce swelling?"

"Yes." Xu Xiaoyan nodded, then asked in a low voice, "Na'er, are you injured?"

"Mmm." Na'er replied, blushing. "I got bitten by mosquitoes several times last night, so I want some medicine to reduce the swelling."

"Mosquitoes?" Are there mosquitoes in the rooms at the Xingluo Hotel?

Xu Xiaoyan was puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions. Looking at her friends who were eating and chatting, she realized that they hadn't noticed her. She then took out a bottle of skin care lotion and handed it to Na'er.

"Na'er, we're girls, you know. We can't neglect skincare every day." As she spoke, Xu Xiaoyan looked at Na'er with some envy, because Na'er's skin was very fair and smooth.

"Yes, thank you, Sister Xiaoyan." Na'er thanked her upon hearing this. Actually, she didn't need this medicine at all, since soul power is much better for skin care than many cosmetics.

If it weren't for that guy who was starving last night and gave her a good pounding and sucking, she wouldn't have come to Xu Xiaoyan to ask for some anti-swelling skincare products.

Thinking of this, Na'er glanced at Fors with a hint of resentment. Fors had already finished eating and was elegantly wiping her mouth; her appetite was only at a normal level.

"Didn't you say you were hungry last night? You don't seem that hungry now."

……

The semi-finals of the individual competition of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Early in the morning, the area around Xingluo Stadium was already packed with people. Even if you couldn't go inside to watch the game live, you could still see the big screen from the outside and even just listen to the cheers from inside the stadium to get a feel for the atmosphere!

The atmosphere was wonderful; people always need some excitement. For the people of the Star Luo Empire, this competition was just that.

The clash between the captains of the two major academy teams from Douluo Continent, and the confrontation between Shenwei and Longyue, undoubtedly brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Everyone wanted to witness Monster Academy's victory as soon as possible, as this match was extremely important for the entire Star Luo Empire.

Inside the stadium, it was already packed with people. On the dais, Emperor Dai Tianling of the Empire, Dean Enci of the Monster Academy, and Tang Bingyao, the head of the Douluo Continent delegation, were all seated early in the morning.

The students from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy entered the venue under the escort of the Star Luo Empire's official army.

At this moment, it was already the semi-finals, and apart from the students from the three academies, there was no one else in the waiting area. The instant the three teams entered the waiting area, almost the entire stands erupted in cheers.

The audience chanted the names of Monster Academy and Dragon Leap. The atmosphere was as heated as a pot of boiling oil.

Everyone at Monster Academy was dressed in their traditional red school uniforms, and, unusually, Dai Yun'er was also there today.

She stared fiercely at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Even though her physical injuries had been healed, the wounds in her heart had not yet fully healed.

However, Dai Yun'er still chose to come to the competition venue because today's competition was just too important. So important that even she wanted to get information as soon as possible.

Lu Fa faces off against Tang Wulin.

In their view, the outcome of this match was not in any suspense, since that person had not gone all out so far.

But the match between Long Yue and Shen Wei was different. Long Yue had five ten-thousand-year soul rings and the strength of a one-word battle armor master, and he also had the strength to easily defeat Feng Wang Lin San.

Even though they were confident in Long Yue's strength, they couldn't help but feel nervous deep down. This was a match their Star Luo Empire simply couldn't afford to lose!

If they can't even make it to the finals, then Monster Academy will have created the biggest joke since the academy's founding.

"Today's first match will be a contest between the captains of two major academy teams from Douluo Continent. They are Lu Fa, who has never used his martial soul since the start of the competition, and Tang Wulin, who possesses a mysterious golden soul ring and has extremely pure dragon blood."

The stands were silent; hardly anyone cheered for them.

That makes sense. Who would have thought that the final three to reach the semi-finals would be outsiders from Douluo Continent, and all of them were only around fifteen years old? This has never happened before in any previous tournament.

Of course, most viewers subconsciously overlooked this point.

Fang'er, who was in charge of the commentary, had clearly noticed the silence in the room, but she still wanted to do her job dutifully. There was no way around it; who could have imagined that such a turn of events would occur in this year's All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition?

Of the four who made it to the final semi-finals, three were outsiders, while their team only managed to get one player, Long Yue, into the quarterfinals. Most importantly, these Douluo Continent contestants were all very young!

The Star Luo Empire's official propaganda team clearly put in a lot of effort. The matter had already escalated to such a great extent that even they would find it difficult to suppress, so they decided not to suppress it at all. They just needed to be careful to control the intensity of their propaganda. At the same time, they deliberately downplayed the ages of Lu Fa and the others.

However, Fang'er, as the official mouthpiece, clearly knew this: without a doubt, the Star Luo Empire had already suffered a crushing defeat at this point in the competition.

Keep in mind, this is a youth group competition, not a junior group competition! Compared to Lu Fa and the others, Long Yue, who is nearly twenty years old, already seems somewhat out of place.

Lu Fa and Tang Wulin exchanged a glance. Tang Wulin smiled at Lu Fa, who calmly nodded.

The two walked out of the waiting area together and headed towards the arena. Compared to their upcoming opponent, the atmosphere between them seemed more like that of close friends.

"Three, two, one, the match begins!" The referee, seeing that both sides were ready, announced the start of the great battle.

Two golden spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and Tang Wulin strode off, rushing towards Lu Fa's direction. His first spirit ring lit up, unleashing his Golden Dragon Body, which instantly covered his entire body with golden dragon scales, and his eyes turned a brilliant gold.

To Tang Wulin's surprise, Lu Fa also chose to charge towards him immediately. This was the first time Lu Fa had charged at an opponent, aside from his battle against Dai Yueyan.

"Alright." Tang Wulin laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with golden light. Although he was somewhat surprised that Lu Fa would take the initiative to attack him, he also felt a surge of excitement.

In his view, Lufa's action was more like a sign of respect for his strength. It seemed that his opponent had never underestimated him and regarded him as a worthy opponent.

Then, Tang Wulin's smile froze the next moment, because he saw five ten-thousand-year soul rings rise up!

Isn't this overestimating him a bit?
