Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 160 The Peerless Dancer Shocks the Competition

After entering the Great Soul Arena, Ye Liangchen and his group arrived at the rest room specially prepared for each team.

"Brother Ye, you've finally arrived."

The rest areas of the five major elemental academies—Tianshui, Chihuo, Shenfeng, Xiangjia, and Leiting—were all in one area. Upon seeing Ye Liangchen's arrival, Feng Xiaotian, Fengyun, Huo Wushuang, Huowu, Huyanli, Leidong, Leitian, and others came over to greet him.

"Hello everyone."

It would be impolite not to reciprocate, so Ye Liangchen also greeted these people.

"Ye Liangchen, I didn't expect you to participate in the Soul Master Competition. Now we're going to have a good fight."

Huo Wu had always wanted to have a showdown with Ye Liangchen, and this time she finally had the chance.

"Ahem! Sister Huowu, your courage is commendable, but you are no match for Brother Ye."

Feng Xiaotian whispered a reminder to Huo Wu, recalling Ye Liangchen's display of strength in Shenfeng Valley, and knew then that this guy was terrifying.

"Feng Xiaotian, how do you know I can't win before the fight even starts?"

Huo Wu's soul power is now at level 45. She was inspired by Xue Wu and the others at the Five Elements Exchange Conference two years ago, so she worked hard and finally broke through to level 45, which is two levels higher than in the original story.

"Fire Dancer, if you want to fight, then let's meet on the field."

Looking at Huo Wu's arrogant demeanor, Shui Bing'er thought to herself: "Wait until we get to the competition, then let's see how arrogant you can still be."

"Gentlemen, what are your goals for this Soul Master Competition?"

Ye Liangchen asked Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and the others.

"My grandfather set a goal for our Elephant Team: to be in the top five of the finals. But it feels like the goal he set for us is hellish and impossible to achieve. Among the five elemental academies, our Elephant Team is already considered a weak team, let alone facing the Spirit Hall's Golden Team."

The burly Hu Yanli directly stated the Elephant Team's objective. Although he was now over level 40, he dared not be arrogant among the five elemental academies, especially when facing Tianshui, Shenfeng, and Leiting.

"We have no hope of winning the championship; making it to the finals will be good enough," Huo Wushuang and Lei Dong echoed.

"Our goal is the same as Shenfeng's. As for the championship, don't even think about it. We can't even get past the Spirit Hall team, let alone Brother Ye and you guys."

Feng Xiaotian stated directly that with Ye Liangchen in the Tianshui team, no other team had a chance, not even the Spirit Hall team.

"Feng Xiaotian, aren't you almost level 50 already? Why are you so lacking in confidence?"

Huo Wu said disdainfully to Feng Xiaotian, "To be honest, this guy's ability to break through from level 42 to level 49 within two years has shocked Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others."

"Although I am level 49, Brother Ye and Shui Bing'er are even more terrifying. The Kamikaze team has no chance of winning."

"Brother Ye once told me that the Soul Master Competition is just a stage for students to perform. Everyone should show their strength to the fullest and focus on participation. Don't be too attached to fame and fortune, otherwise fame and fortune will bind our Dao heart."

Feng Xiaotian had already been awakened by Ye Liangchen's words; he was no longer the sycophant from the original story.

"Don't underestimate yourselves. Everyone should have dreams. What if they come true? So no matter what, never give up on pursuing your dream of becoming a champion."

"Brother Feng, you're doing great! You've broadened your horizons and opened your mind. You have the potential to become a Title Douluo in the future. Everyone should work hard. I see that you are all outstanding individuals who will also become Title Douluos in the future."

Ye Liangchen transformed into a charlatan, feeding everyone a dose of inspirational wisdom. Since it was all just bragging, there was no tax to pay.

However, Ye Liangchen thought it was quite good that Feng Xiaotian had such awareness, so he gave him a thumbs up.

"Pfft...!"

"Brother Ye, we feel like you're bragging."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Huo Wushuang, Hu Yanli, Lei Dong, and others couldn't help but burst into laughter as Ye Liangchen was giving everyone a pep talk.

"Don't mind him, everyone. Xiao Chen just likes to brag." Shui Bing'er smiled apologetically at everyone as she watched Ye Liangchen talking nonsense again.

"Everyone, Brother Ye isn't just bragging; it's the truth. You'll understand later." Feng Xiaotian achieved his current success precisely because he listened to Ye Liangchen's words.

"The Pan-Continental Soul Master Tournament begins. Now, please welcome His Majesty to address all participating teams."

Just then, the host of the Soul Fighting Tournament spoke up.

"On this snowy night, I hereby announce the official start of the Pan-Continental Soul Master Tournament. I hope everyone will display their brilliance..."

Emperor Xueye stood up from the VIP seats and began to speak at length.

"Next, please welcome Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to speak." The host then invited Ning Fengzhi to speak to the participating teams.

"I'm so glad... thank you."

Ning Fengzhi also got up and rambled on and on about a lot of nonsense.

"Sect Leader Ning, as the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you have exceptional insight. Could you predict which team will win the championship?"

The host asked Ning Fengzhi a question, hoping to extract some information from him. He is a professional and very good at creating a lively atmosphere.

"I don't know either,……"

Ning Fengzhi also hoped that his daughter's Shrek team could win the championship, but he was more optimistic about the Tianshui team led by that mysterious young man.

Previously, other members of the tournament organizing committee wanted to check the information of the Tianshui team, but Salas, citing the need to protect the privacy of the players from all the teams, directly used the reputation of the Spirit Hall to prohibit the organizing committee guests from checking the information of all participating teams. Now, the organizing committee guests know nothing about the detailed information of these participating players. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi only knows the information of the Shrek team and does not know the information of other teams. Everything will be known when the tournament begins.

"It's a pity we couldn't get a result from Sect Leader Ning."

"Now, please welcome Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, to draw lots for each team."

The host finished the pre-match preparations and announced that the competition was about to begin.

"Swish..."

Salas rose from the VIP seats, darted to the center of the arena, picked up a stack of plaques from a tray held by a beautiful female staff member, and began drawing lots for the various teams.

"Click...click...click..."

As per Ye Liangchen's instructions, Salas specially arranged a weak team for Shrek Academy, while the other teams were left to their own devices.

Salas is behaving very uprightly now, not touching the hand of the beautiful female staff member as in the original plot, mainly because his own Pope is watching from the VIP seats in the distance, and he doesn't dare to do so.

"The first match is between Tianshui Academy and Plant Academy."

"Kamikaze Academy vs. Beast Academy".

"Blazing Fire Academy vs. Purple Star Academy".

"Thunder Academy vs. Barak Academy".

"Elephant Armor Academy vs. Azure Radiance Academy".

.........

"Auckland Academy vs. Shrek Team."

As the beautiful host announced the draw results, the opponents of each team in the first round of the qualifiers were revealed. Immediately, all the teams began to search for information about their opponents from the organizers and to study tactics.

"Xiao Chen, what are your thoughts on this plant college?"

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others gathered information about the Plant Academy team from Su Lin and discovered that there were six Soul Masters, all of whom were control-type Soul Masters. So they asked Ye Liangchen about tactics.

"I have no opinion. We don't need to collect information on the various teams or make any tactical arrangements," Ye Liangchen said calmly. There was no need to take these teams seriously.

"Xiao Chen is right. With your current strength, you have no opponents at all. You can just sweep through them."

Ye Cailan and Ye Suling calmly remarked from the side that with this little guy around, they didn't need to worry about the competition at all.

Shui Lanxin and her sister, Su Lin, Bibi Dong and the others were already seated in the audience. Dugu Bo had even entered the audience before the Tianshui team entered the arena, leaving only Ye Cailan and Ye Suling with the Tianshui team. The situation of the competition was entirely handled by Ye Liangchen.

"Swish"

"Distinguished guests, hello everyone, I'm your host DouDou. Next, please welcome the Tianshui Goddess Team to perform a dance."

Just then, the beautiful host DouDou flapped her white wings and flew into the air above the arena like an angel, announcing the Tianshui team's dance performance.

"Wow! A red cannon!"

"That's impressive! Really powerful..."

The beautiful host, DouDou, wearing a short skirt and looking pretty, was flying in the air, naturally attracting the attention of many old perverts who looked up and exclaimed in amazement.

The beautiful host, DouDou, blushed slightly when she heard what those people said, but she was used to such big scenes.

"Watching the Tianshui Goddess team's dance performance is simply a treat."

"Of course, I was lucky enough to see it in Blazing City a couple of years ago, it was so beautiful."

"Goddess Team... Goddess Team..."

The 100,000 spectators in the Grand Arena were cheering and waving flags for the Tianshui Girls' Team, their voices like ocean waves, roaring throughout the arena.

"Ladies, are you ready?"

At this moment, the host, DouDou, walked in through another door in the Tianshui team's rest room, preparing to arrange for the girls to perform a dance program.

"DouDou, everyone's ready," Ye Liangchen said calmly.

"Xiao Chen, which song do you think we should dance to first this time?" Shui Bing'er asked Ye Liangchen.

"Peerless dancers, you can use swords to dance. Anyway, we've all practiced many times before."

"Sister Bing'er, you go up on stage. Miss Dou Dou and I will go to the sound control room to play music for you."

"Everyone, please dance well, after all, we're getting paid."

Ye Liangchen gave a few instructions, and then followed Dou Dou through the hidden door to the Soul Arena's sound control room.

"Let's dance the peerless dancer."

"Sisters, let's dance and dazzle the world!"

Ten beauties, namely Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, Gu Qing Bo, Qiu Ruo Shui, Shen Liu Yu, Zhu Zhu Qing, Du Gu Yan, and Ye Ling Ling, walked towards the central arena of the Great Soul Arena.

"Goddess of Tianshui... Goddess of Tianshui..."

"Wow!"

When Shui Bing'er and her group appeared on the central arena, the 100,000 spectators went wild, erupting in a tsunami of cheers.

"Ding ding... Dong dong..."

"Hehehe...! Red leaves are the most sentimental, a dance to express longing."

As the music began, Shuiyue'er opened the show with her playful yet sweet voice.

"Smoke rises from the mountain peaks, scattering the beauty of youth; tears of rouge fall, staining the sunset crimson."

……

If I were to sever the killing with a single dance, ten thousand arrows would rain down beneath the city walls.

I can conquer the world with a single dance, but it doesn't matter if it's just a small chessboard for you.

what…

The beautiful woman's dance was like a lotus flower swirling, leaving the world in awe and wonder.

The song ends, and I part ways with you; the peerless dancer is the best in the world.

The beautiful dancers' movements were like a clear spring, leaving the world in awe and wonder.

A tangled mess, impossible to unravel; a peerless dancer, unparalleled in the world.

... "

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Shui Bing'er led the group, each holding an exquisite longsword, and began to dance gracefully to the music. Like a group of fairies from the Jade Pool, their beautiful dance moves captivated the audience and left them mesmerized.

Her beauty was as radiant as a flower, her graceful dance a reflection of the mortal world.

Her jade-like face was as beautiful as a flower, and a gentle breeze caressed her as she moved gracefully.

A fairy maiden emerges from a lotus in my dream, her steps light and graceful, like that of an immortal.

Her flowing robes fluttered in the cold air, her graceful figure like a newly sailed boat.

The melodious songs and graceful dances are dazzling, and the beautiful women are stunningly gorgeous.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

After the performance of the peerless dancer's dance, Shui Bing'er led the Tianshui team off the stage.

quiet!

The entire audience was stunned by the Tianshui Girls' Group's unparalleled sword dance, standing there dumbfounded with their mouths agape.

"Thank you for the performance by the Tianshui team. Let's give them another round of applause." DouDou, the beautiful girl, announced the end of the dance performance using her soul-guided megaphone.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

"What did you see?"

"I only saw a group of fairies dancing gracefully, this trip was totally worth it."

"I feel that even the dance of the Tianshui Goddess team is more exciting than the Soul Master Competition."

"Is that even a question?"

"Goddess of Tianshui... Goddess of Tianshui..."

After Shui Bing'er and the others left, the audience erupted in a tsunami-like roar, wave after wave, making the entire Great Soul Arena feel like it was about to collapse.

"These girls can actually wield swords? It's obvious they've practiced swordsmanship."

In the VIP section, Sword Douluo, a powerful swordsman, could tell at a glance that Shui Bing'er and the others had excellent swordsmanship skills.

"Uncle Jian, isn't their sword dance just a dance?"

"Feng Zhi, you're wrong. These girls must have been instructed by a peerless swordsman."

Ning Fengzhi thought the girls in the Tianshui team were just dancing, but Sword Douluo didn't see it that way.

"I never expected that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would join the Tianshui team."

"That guy named Lan Chen back then, who is now Ye Liangchen, I don't know what method he used to get the Dugu family and the Nine Star Begonia to follow him."

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a large number of people recognized Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, including the three major academic committee members of Heaven Dou, Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, and others. They were extremely surprised to see the two women appear as members of the Heavenly Water Team.

"snort…"

In the VIP section, Emperor Xueye, Prince Xuexing, Xuebeng, and several others looked extremely grim.

That boy named Ye Liangchen, who was also Long Chen who offended the royal family back then, is now protected by powerful figures from Tianshui Academy. Trying to harm him would be targeting Tianshui Academy, and he would definitely join the Spirit Hall. The assassins sent out were all wiped out.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xueye felt as if he had eaten three pounds of excrement, and was extremely aggrieved.

"Shui Lanxin, did you teach Bing'er and the others to dance?" On the other side of the audience, Bibi Dong used her soul power to force a sound into a line and asked Shui Lanxin.

"We don't have such skills. Xiao Chen taught us all of this. He tinkered with music production and sword dancing. The little guy said that a peerless genius must be proficient in everything."

"I never knew the little guy could dance! He didn't even tell me, his godmother. I'll have him dance for me next time."

During her conversation with Shui Lanxin, Bibi Dong learned that Ye Liangchen could also dance, which surprised her greatly, and a wonderful idea came to her mind.
