Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 159 Tang Hao is completely bewildered

"Bishop Salas, in this Soul Master Competition, as for Shrek Academy's opponents, follow my plan and first arrange a group of rookie weak teams for them, let them have a good time, then we will deal with them and bring them down, let them enjoy the feeling of the higher they climb, the harder they fall."

"I'm going to implement an important plan, but it can't be implemented if Shrek doesn't make it to the finals."

In a VIP room at the Heaven Dou Grand Arena, Ye Liangchen, through Salas's access, obtained detailed information about the Shrek Academy team and then instructed the old man on how to deal with them.

"Xiao Chen, what is your real plan?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"When I dispelled your Rakshasa divine will before, I promised Rakshasa God that I would find him the most evil person. I already have a target and have decided to create the most evil person to prevent Rakshasa God from targeting you again in the future." Ye Liangchen told Bibi Dong his true purpose.

"Xiao Chen, you're really great, thank you so much."

Bibi Dong was shocked to discover that the little guy had such a plan, especially one made for her sake. It was truly unbelievable. Overwhelmed with emotion, Bibi Dong felt a surge of gratitude. If Salas hadn't been there, she would have hugged the little guy tightly and given him a big kiss.

"Salas, do you understand? You must follow Xiao Chen's instructions and never reveal this matter." Bibi Dong instructed Salas.

"I will fully comply with the decrees of His Holiness the Pope and Young Master Ye."

Salas knelt on the ground, respectfully obeying Bibi Dong's arrangements. At this moment, he was extremely shocked. His boss and this mysterious young man actually wanted to use the members of the Shrek team to create the most evil person. What was going on?

"Little Sister Zhu? Her Martial Soul is the Netherworld Cat?"

Ye Liangchen was stunned when he saw a new member in the Shrek team's information. It was too unexpected that a woman from the Netherworld Cat family had joined Shrek.

"Xiao Chen, you abducted Zhu Zhuqing two or three years ago, and you haven't let that girl reveal her identity all these years. The Star Luo Empire thought that the girl was dead, so they found a woman from the Netherworld Cat family to team up with Dai Mubai and continue playing the game of royal competition." As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong could naturally see that this was a helpless move by the Star Luo Empire.

"Young Master Ye, according to my understanding, the woman named Zhu Xiaomei only joined the Shrek team half a month before the competition."

Salas told Ye Liangchen what he knew, and he admired the young man's behavior. He dared to abduct the fiancée of the young prince of the Star Luo Empire. He was really audacious!

"So that's how it is! When Zhu Zhuqing makes her appearance at the competition, things will get interesting. I bet Dai Mubai's face will turn green with envy."

"Xiao Chen, not only is his face green, but I bet his hair is green too."

"Salas, remember this: you must follow our arrangements. Also, as the Platinum Bishop of the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple, you must set an example and not use your position to oppress ordinary people, or the consequences will be severe."

"Bishop Salas, thank you for your cooperation. We'll be going now."

Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen got up and left the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

"Respectfully seeing off Young Master Ye and His Holiness the Pope, Your subordinate understands."

After watching his boss and the boy leave, Salas thought to himself: What did this boy do to make his boss change so much? It's like he's become a completely different person.

"I am merely a brick in the Spirit Hall, moved wherever needed. I must obey His Holiness the Pope's arrangements."

Salas suppressed his curiosity and continued preparing for the Soul Master Tournament.

……

Back at the hotel, Ye Liangchen was immediately surrounded by Shui Bing'er and the others, who pulled him into a room and bombarded him with questions.

"Where did you go with His Holiness the Pope these past two days? Who did you meet?"

"Yeah! We haven't heard from you for the past two days, and everyone was so worried."

"Xiao Chen, you still smell of His Holiness the Pope on you."

Shui Yue'er came closer, sniffing Ye Liangchen and touching him to see if there were any marks on him. After all, he had been taken away by the stunningly beautiful female pope for two or three days, and she was afraid that he had been harmed by that beauty.

"Little Chen, you wouldn't...?" Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, and the others all showed gossipy expressions.

"Alright, everyone, stop fooling around. Her Holiness the Pope is Xiao Chen's godmother. Don't let your imaginations run wild."

Shui Bing'er stopped her best friends from playing pranks, but she was also curious about the little guy's trip with Pope Bibi Dong.

"This time I met a proud and beautiful woman. I traded a soul bone with her and asked her to help me get a treasure that can unlock the inheritance of a god. In a few years, I will lead everyone on the journey to godhood."

Ye Liangchen smiled mysteriously and told the women about his ascension to godhood, giving them something to look forward to.

"Wow! I can become a god now."

"Little Chen, you're amazing!"

"Of course, Xiao Chen has always been very capable."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others were extremely excited when they heard that their journey to godhood was about to begin so soon.

"Brother Chen, what conditions are needed to become a god?" the kitten asked curiously.

"You need talent, strength, and temperament. I hope that you can cultivate your strength to the Soul Emperor level within five years. Then it will be safer for us to travel. After all, the place where we participate in the Divine Trial is across a vast ocean."

"Okay, we will definitely complete your arrangements."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's words, the women all clenched their fists, their bodies brimming with power.

"Where is Senior Dugu? Why can't I see him?" Ye Liangchen didn't see Dugu Bo after entering the hotel.

"Grandpa is going back to our old residence to sell it and also to gather some intelligence," Dugu Yan said slowly from the side.

In the other room, Bibi Dong, Shui Lanxin, Ye Cailan, and others gathered together, drinking fine wine and talking.

"Shui Lanxin, have any powerful figures come to inquire about you these past two days?" Bibi Dong asked the women.

"Your Holiness, several groups of people have come. They're probably trying to probe the strength of our Tianshui team, but they can only watch from afar. However, yesterday we encountered a beggar..."

Shui Lanxin slowly recounted what had happened to her.

Yesterday, a few of them were out shopping with the little girls when a man in a black robe, reeking of foul odor, suddenly appeared. Upon seeing Cai Lan, he immediately shouted, "Ah Yin…!"

Immediately afterwards, Shui Lanxin and the others rushed over. The women thought they were enemies and were about to make a move.

But when the man in black robes saw Cai Lan display nine spirit rings, he was stunned again, shouting incredulously, "No...it's not hers, she's dead, it's not her..."

Then the person disappeared, leaving Shui Lanxin and her group completely bewildered, unable to understand why a beggar would be so excited to see Ye Cailan.

When Bibi Dong heard this, she knew exactly what was going on. Ye Cailan had completely become human with the help of the Transformation Pill, and she had even retained the strength of a Title Douluo. Tang Dachui was probably still completely dumbfounded.

"Shui Lanxin, when Xiao Chen and I returned to the city, we also saw that person. He is Tang Dachui." Bibi Dong introduced the true identity of the man in black robes to the women.

"Tang Dachui? I never thought that the world-famous Tang Dachui would end up looking like that."

"Did he get his comeuppance? He reeks of a foul stench, like he hasn't showered in years. You can smell the stench from more than ten meters away. It's disgusting."

Shui Lanxin and the others were incredulous when they heard Bibi Dong say this.

"Shui Lanxin, we must be on high alert during this time. We must be wary of Tang Dachui, and especially protect Xiao Chen."

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Cailan and remembered that this gentle and beautiful woman was actually the Blue Silver Emperor in human form. Now that she had been tricked by that brat, Tang Dachui would definitely not be able to sit still if he knew the truth.

"Your Holiness, don't worry! I will protect Xiao Chen."

Ye Cailan waved her fist, indicating that with her there, she wouldn't let anyone hurt her master.

"Your Holiness, what is Tang Dachui's current strength?" Shui Lanxin asked.

"I don't know, but I estimate he's at least level 95. However, we shouldn't underestimate him. Born into the Hammer Sect, he ventured into the City of Slaughter in his youth and possesses the God of Slaughter Domain. He's very powerful in combat."

Bibi Dong doesn't know Tang Dachui's true strength yet, but it's definitely not low.

"Don't worry! Although he is very strong, we are not weak either. The three of us sisters have even developed a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so protecting everyone should not be a problem."

The Shui Lanxin sisters and Su Lin were already prepared to face any challenge.

The Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and Ye Liangchen has prepared his biggest trump card.

"Click...click..."

Before going to sleep at night, Ye Liangchen locked the door, took out a Barrett MK22 sniper rifle from his game backpack, replaced the barrel with the largest caliber one, and changed the bullets to armor-piercing explosive rounds, intending to give a surprise to some show-off.

……

"Welcome to the Pan-Continental Soul Master Tournament..."

On this day, the Soul Master Competition officially began. A male host, holding a soul-guided megaphone, stood on the high platform of the Great Soul Arena and gave a passionate speech.

"Wow...wow..."

The Soul Master Tournament was the most popular event in the Douluo Continent. Countless people flocked to the streets of the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena. The 80,000 seats in the arena had been sold out a month in advance, and the organizers also released over 20,000 standing tickets, which were also snapped up immediately. The Grand Soul Arena was suddenly flooded with 100,000 people.

Those who couldn't buy tickets gathered in the square outside the Great Soul Arena, sighing and complaining. To accommodate those who couldn't get tickets, the organizers built two huge crystal projectors on the wall outside the Great Soul Arena, allowing people to watch the matches for half the price.

Meanwhile, on the streets outside the Great Soul Arena, all the teams participating in the Soul Battle competition had gathered, including Ye Liangchen's Tianshui team, and they began to enter the Soul Arena one after another.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first to enter is the Shrek team from the Heaven Dou Royal Second Team."

"The Shrek team's motto was: The champion with no rivals."

"Welcome them."

The host first introduced the Shrek team, since this team represents the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. However, he was quite sarcastic, directly mentioning Shrek Academy's use of others to achieve their own goals.

"Shrek? Champion? I think it's the Joker!"

"Exactly! Look at the clothes they're wearing, they're all a shit-green color."

"Look, below the white swan pattern on their chests, there's a green, poop-colored Shrek monster, and on the back, there's the phrase: 'Wash it and you'll be healthier!' It's hilarious."

When the Shrek team entered the Great Soul Arena first, they were immediately ridiculed by everyone. Dai Mubai, Oscar, Fatty Ma, Tang San, Yu Tianheng, Tailong and others felt very embarrassed and covered their faces as they entered the Soul Arena.

"What kind of clothes did Dean Flander design? They're so ugly," Dai Mubai thought to himself.

Zhu Xiaomei, who had just joined the Shrek team, was also speechless, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in for the sake of the mission.

"There are so many people! It's so lively!"

Little Rabbit and Ning Rongrong, however, were oblivious to their own filthy green team uniforms.

Farting Master, Flander, and Zhao Wuji were dressed normally and kept their distance from the Shrek Seven Devils, as if they didn't recognize them.

"Now entering is the College of Plant Sciences, and there are several beautiful female team members among them. Welcome them!"

The members of the Plant Academy team wore green clothes and had green hair. There were seven beautiful women and four men in total, which was more female than male. At this moment, the team members walked into the Soul Arena with their heads held high and full of confidence.

"Wow... what a beautiful woman!"

The beauties in the botanical college were also outstanding in appearance, and their arrival naturally drew cheers from the audience.

"To make a living, you have to have some green on your head."

Ye Liangchen, watching from a distance, couldn't help but mutter a curse to himself as he saw the group of male and female team members from the Plant Academy dressed in green.

"Now entering are Team A, Team B, Team C... Welcome them."

As each team enters the arena, the host launches into a lengthy introduction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now entering is the renowned Five Elements Academy of Heaven Dou."

"Elephant Armor Academy,..."

"Blazing Fire Academy,..."

"Kamikaze Academy,..."

"Thunder Academy..."

The teams from the major elemental academies marched into the Soul Arena with great pride and high spirits. The Elephant Armor Team, those ferocious beasts, even took off their shirts, revealing their strong muscles, to show the audience their power.

Wow! That beauty from the Blazing Fire team is amazing!

Huo Wu from Blazing Academy is also a goddess-level beauty, and her appearance drew cheers from the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the much-anticipated Tianshui Academy Goddess Team has made its appearance."

"Wow, everyone, this is incredible! This host has discovered that there is a male member in the Tianshui team, and he's an incredibly handsome guy! He has fulfilled the dreams of all men."

The host already knew that the Tianshui team had male members, so when Ye Liangchen, Shui Bing'er, and others entered, he made a point of introducing them to stir up the audience's emotions.

"Tap tap tap..."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and 10 other team members, dressed in dresses inspired by Gongsun Li, walked gracefully at the front, their steps swaying like fairies descending to earth.

"Hi……"

The playful Shuiyue smiled and waved to the audience.

"Wow...! Goddess of Tianshui... Goddess of Tianshui..."

"Goddess Team, we love you so much!"

The audience went wild, waving flags and cheering wildly for the Tianshui team.

Wow! That handsome guy is so lucky! I wish I were him!

"Tch! With your pig-like appearance, the Goddess of Tianshui could sweep you away with one long leg."

"Haha...! Being swept away by a beautiful woman's long legs is a kind of enjoyment too!"

When the crowd saw the handsome Ye Liangchen enter, they went even crazier.

"He's so handsome! I'm so excited! I'm wet!"

"Spring flowers, autumn moon, I think you're both in heat!"

"..."

The audience looked at the handsome young man, whose looks rivaled those of the readers, as if he had stepped out of a painting. He caused many young women to go crazy, their eyes sparkling with hearts, completely infatuated.

At this moment, Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan were on either side of Ye Liangchen, keeping watch over their surroundings. Although Bibi Dong was wearing a veil, her noble temperament could not be hidden. Ye Cailan, on the other hand, looked like a beauty who had stepped out of a painting.

"This guy is amazing. Even the emperors of two great empires didn't have his kind of luck."

"Who exactly is he? It feels like those stunning goddesses are protecting him."

Ye Liangchen was followed by several stunning beauties, including Shui Lanxin, Shui Lanyue, Su Lin, and Ye Suling. This scene was so dazzling that it dazzled the audience and aroused envy and jealousy in countless men.

"Godmother, Sister Lan, my spiritual power has sensed Tang Dachui."

"About 500 meters to the southeast, under the trees on the street, in the crowd."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen closed his eyes and sensed with his divine sense that a man in black robes was looking in his direction from the crowd 500 meters away. So he used his soul power to force the sound into a line and transmitted it to Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan.

"Shui Lanxin, be careful, Tang Dachui has appeared."

Bibi Dong immediately used her soul power to send a telepathic message to Shui Lanxin and the others, telling them to be careful and on guard.

"With us here, if anyone dares to make a move, we'll wipe them out."

Su Lin and Ye Suling immediately chased after Shui Bing'er and the others, just in case.

"How come that woman's back view is so similar to Ah Yin's? Her appearance is also about 80% the same, and her aura is very similar to Ah Yin's. But she is actually a Title Douluo and has a 100,000-year soul ring. Who exactly is she?"

"Who is that boy? How come he's with the Tianshui team?"

Tang Dachui, standing some distance away, was completely bewildered. The blue-haired woman looked very similar to the former Blue Silver Emperor, but she didn't recognize him, leaving Tang Dachui utterly perplexed.

In Tang Dachui's memory, when the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed himself, he only had a soul power of around level 70. However, this woman, whose aura was similar to that of the Blue Silver Emperor, was a Title Douluo, and her strength was no less than his own.

"Right now, let's protect my mistress and that little rabbit! We can investigate these things later. Hopefully, that mysterious boy won't threaten my plans, otherwise..."

Tang Dachui pondered for a moment, then headed away into the distance, quietly jumping onto the roof of a tall building to observe the Great Soul Arena from afar.
