Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 216 Stopping Hu Liena from Entering the City of Slaughter

Ye Liangchen's "Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms in the Wind" move wiped out the Spirit Hall's Golden Team, once again dazzling everyone.

"The final championship battle will be between the Tianshui team and the Shrek team."

"The match will be held in two days. I hope the Tianshui team and the Shrek team are well prepared."

After the Spirit Hall and Tianshui team finished their match, Bishop Chris stood up and flew over the square to announce the schedule for the championship match.

Bibi Dong pretended to look at the members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Team with a disappointed expression, making people think she was very angry. Then she got up, took long strides, and returned to the Papal Palace.

"The match between the Spirit Hall and the Tianshui team was so exciting. Although it wasn't the championship match, it was definitely more exciting than the championship match."

"Exactly! Shrek, that trash team that got in by sheer luck, just coasted all the way to the championship. If they run into the Tianshui team, they're definitely going to get crushed."

As the group of Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall left the plaza, they discussed the match and took the opportunity to mock the Shrek Academy team.

"Shui Bing'er and Ye Liangchen wiped out the Spirit Hall team with just one powerful attack. Their strength is too great. How are we supposed to fight them?"

"It seems our luck has run out."

On the Shrek team's side, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others felt there was no hope.

Although the Shrek team made it to the finals by sheer luck, the championship was like a flower in the water or the moon in the mirror to everyone else—visible but unattainable.

"Damn it! No one from the Tianshui team was injured."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San had extremely gloomy expressions. They had thought that the two teams would fight to the point of exhaustion, and that it would be best if some members of the Tianshui team were seriously injured, so that the Shrek team could take advantage of the situation.

But things didn't go as Yu Xiaogang had hoped, which made it a bit uncertain for the Shrek team to win the championship.

"No! We have to do something."

After returning to the hotel, Yu Xiaogang went to Prince Xue Qinghe's residence to discuss things with Ning Fengzhi.

"Master, what brings you here?" Ning Fengzhi asked Yu Xiaogang curiously.

"Sect Leader Ning, if Rongrong and the others could win the championship, would you be willing to help them?"

In order to help his disciple Tang San obtain the Soul Bone reward, Yu Xiaogang decided to take a risk and asked Ning Fengzhi for help.

However, in front of Ning Fengzhi, Yu Xiaogang didn't mention the Shrek Academy team or Tang San, but instead directly referred to Ning Rongrong, making the other party think that he was thinking of that little girl.

"Does the master have any ideas? If it can help Rongrong and the others win the championship, I'm definitely willing to help."

Ning Fengzhi dreamed that the Shrek Academy team could win the championship. Given Ning Rongrong's status, she should at least get a soul bone.

"My plan is to have Senior Sword Douluo secretly take action and resolve this..."

Yu Xiaogang believed that with Sword Douluo's strength as a level 96 Title Douluo, resolving some problems should be a piece of cake.

"Yu Xiaogang, do you want me to do such a despicable thing?"

"Whoosh..."

Just then, Sword Douluo's voice came from outside, and then a blur flashed by before Sword Douluo himself appeared in front of the two of them.

"Yu Xiaogang, you have some nerve."

Sword Douluo stared at Yu Xiaogang with eyes as sharp as swords, thinking: I have lived an upright life, how could I do such a despicable thing? If you were not Yu Yuanzhen's son, I would have killed you, you ignorant fool, long ago.

"Master, for the sake of our shared affiliation with the three upper sects, I have a word of advice: it's best not to court death."

Ning Fengzhi thought Yu Xiaogang had some ingenious method, but he never expected that he would send Sword Douluo to assassinate that monster. It was simply wishful thinking.

Ning Fengzhi had once fought with Bone Douluo in Heaven Dou City, but failed. Since then, he has not dared to mess with Ye Liangchen unless he has a more powerful helper. Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi would not dare to easily provoke that monster.

"Sect Leader Ning, I apologize for disturbing you. I shall take my leave now."

Yu Xiaogang slunk away from Ning Fengzhi's residence, feeling nauseous as if he had swallowed three pounds of excrement.

"Yu Yuanzhen is a man of some stature, so how did he end up with such a piece of trash?"

Sword Douluo watched Yu Xiaogang leave and found it all quite laughable.

"Yes! Ever since Yu Xiaogang was labeled a 'farting master' by Bibi Dong, he's become increasingly abnormal. Now that he's become a eunuch, he's even more abnormal."

Before Yu Xiaogang became known as the "Farting Master," Ning Fengzhi had a fairly good impression of him. After all, Ning Rongrong was also studying at Shrek Academy, and at that time, Ning Fengzhi thought Yu Xiaogang was more capable than him in martial soul research. However, after Bibi Dong labeled Yu Xiaogang the "Farting Master," Ning Fengzhi was completely dumbfounded, to the point that Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo mocked him for his poor judgment in judging people.

Yu Xiaogang desperately wanted to kill Ye Liangchen, that prodigy, so that Tang San could win the championship. Tang Dachui, hiding in some dark corner, had the same idea, but the young man was protected by six Title Douluos, and with his current injured body, he would definitely die if he went up against him.

Previously, when Bibi Dong revealed those three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones in the Papal Palace Square, Tang Dachui was hiding on a rooftop a few hundred meters away, watching. He almost couldn't resist rushing up to snatch them.

……

As evening fell, Bibi Dong, disguised, arrived at the hotel where the Tianshui team was located and took Ye Liangchen away again.

When Ye Liangchen arrived at Bibi Dong's residence, he found Hu Liena coming in from outside.

When Hu Liena saw Ye Liangchen, she recalled the scene from the competition during the day and felt a little uncomfortable; her face turned as red as an apple.

Hu Liena's unusual behavior puzzled Ye Cailan and Bibi Dong. They both wondered if the girl had fallen for him. But she and the little guy didn't seem to have much interaction.

"Hey! Hu Liena, why are you blushing like a teapot?" Ye Liangchen teased, thinking to himself: I just saw it by chance, why the big reaction?

"Nana, what happened when you competed with Xiaochen during the day?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"Godmother! She must feel really embarrassed that I easily broke her Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

To avoid embarrassing Hu Liena, Ye Liangchen answered first.

"Yes! That's it."

"Teacher, I feel that my combat skills are very weak. I can't even beat Feng Xiaotian, so I want to go to the City of Slaughter to train."

Hu Liena immediately followed Ye Liangchen's lead and proposed to Bibi Dong that she wanted to try her luck in the City of Slaughter. She felt that if her teacher could do it, she could too.

"Nana, what did you say?" Bibi Dong was startled by Hu Liena's words.

"Teacher, I want to go to the Killing City for training," Hu Liena said to Bibi Dong earnestly.

"You're not allowed to go." Bibi Dong saw that this girl was being reckless and courting death, so she directly refused.

"Hu Liena, you are so ignorant. If you have a death wish, then go and bang your head against the wall."

To prevent Hu Liena from encountering Tang San in the City of Slaughter in the future, Ye Liangchen also spoke up to remind this ignorant and foolish woman.

"Xiao Chen is right!"

"Nana, if you really don't want to live anymore, then just slit your own throat with this sword. Otherwise, when I go to the Killing City, I won't even be able to find your body. That hellhole is no place for a human to stay."

Bibi Dong recalled her arduous journey through the Killing City. Every day, all she did was kill, or she would die. It was hatred that motivated her to keep going.

"Ye Liangchen, what gives you the right to say that about me?" Hu Liena felt that Ye Liangchen was underestimating her.

"Hu Liena, I'll give you a chance. Everyone, please refrain from using your martial spirits. If you can withstand ten moves from me, then you can go."

Ye Liangchen took out a longsword from his soul tool and then gestured for Hu Liena to challenge him.

"Ye Liangchen, you underestimate me!"

"Swish..."

Hu Liena immediately drew two short swords and thrust them at Ye Liangchen.

"Clang clang..."

"Too slow, not enough power."

Ye Liangchen quickly sidestepped, his longsword flashing like a venomous snake as he aimed straight for his opponent's wrist. Hu Liena hurriedly parried with her short sword.

"Swish..."

"Clang, clang..."

Ye Liangchen launched three attacks in a row, targeting the opponent's throat. Hu Liena frantically tried to block with her short sword, but Ye Liangchen's speed was too fast, forcing her to retreat repeatedly.

"Bang…"

Seeing that the opponent's center was wide open, Ye Liangchen quickly kicked out, hitting Hu Liena in the stomach and sending her flying three meters away.

"Slow reaction time and poor defensive awareness."

"Hu Liena, remember this: of all martial arts techniques, nothing is invincible except speed."

"You're a spirit-type Soul Master, combat isn't your strong suit. With your current combat strength, you won't make it in the Slaughter City."

Ye Liangchen gave a serious critique of Hu Liena's fighting skills, making her understand the difference in skill level.

"Ye Liangchen, how are you so strong?" Hu Liena was defeated after only four moves against Ye Liangchen.

"Nana, Xiao Chen is a master swordsman. In terms of swordsmanship alone, even Sword Douluo is probably no match for him. You managed to withstand four moves, which is quite good," Bibi Dong reminded her from the side.

"The City of Slaughter is the place where the Asura God inherited his legacy. The people there are all beasts. In this world, only your teacher and Tang Dachui have been able to pass through the Hell Road. They also went through life and death to do so."

"Before venturing into the Hell Road, you must first win 100 consecutive matches in the life-or-death duel arena to qualify. In the City of Slaughter, you cannot use soul skills, and sometimes your opponents may even be Soul Douluo-level powerhouses. Another important point is that upon entering the City of Slaughter, you must drink a liquid called Yellow Spring Dew, which is human blood and contains toxins. Once you drink that stuff, it is easy to lose your mind, and over time, you may become a Fallen One."

"Hu Liena, do you think you can get out alive with your mediocre combat skills? And if you fail, those beasts inside won't even spare your corpse."

"If you die inside, your teacher will be sad for a while at most, and eventually forget about you. But your brother will be in tears for years to come, and may even die of depression due to excessive grief."

"Hu Liena, you are an adult, you should understand the seriousness of this matter."

"You want to learn everything from your teacher, but in the end, you won't learn anything. People need to learn to forge their own path and not blindly imitate others."

Ye Liangchen told Hu Liena, this naive and innocent girl, the true situation of the Killing City. If she still insisted on going to her death after that, then there was nothing he could do.

In the original storyline, if it weren't for Tang San, Hu Liena, that naive and innocent girl, would have died in the City of Slaughter long ago.

"Xiao Chen, that Asura God is definitely not a good person either."

After hearing Ye Liangchen's description, Ye Cailan recalled the little guy saying that the Asura God was an old bachelor, and felt that he was not a good god.

"The Asura God is an evil god, and one who attained enlightenment through killing. He is not a good person at all."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, Hu Liena felt a chill run down her spine.

"Xiao Chen, how do you know so much about the City of Slaughter? It seems like you know more about it than I do, someone who has been through the City of Slaughter before." Bibi Dong asked Ye Liangchen curiously.

"Of course, it was Sister Na, the god-level expert behind me, who told me." Ye Liangchen couldn't say that he knew everything, so he had to use the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena to cover it up.

"Nana, Xiaochen is right. That hellish place, the Slaughter City, is not a place for you to stay, so you shouldn't go there."

"If you want to get stronger, you can train in Death Valley and still get stronger. There's no need to go and die."

Bibi Dong didn't want her disciple, whom she had raised with such care, to die. She hadn't expected the girl to be of any help to her anyway, since she had her godson now and could solve any problem.

"Fine! I won't go then."

Ye Liangchen had already explained the situation in the Killing City to this extent, so Hu Liena dared not take any more risks.
