Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 271 Liu Erlong, the Deal is Made

Watching the group's departing figures, Dugu Yan glanced at Shui Bing'er and Han Li, and asked with some curiosity, "Are we really going to fight them?"

She felt that the two of them had agreed too easily, although she didn't mind sparring with others.

"It's up to you whether you want to play with them or not, or whether you want to participate in the main competition. You can decide for yourselves."

"Didn't you see that their team leader didn't come over? I guess they were just using the team members' personalities to send a signal."

Han Li answered casually, and Shui Bing'er nodded in agreement.

She knew more; her mother had told her some things the last time she went home.

As Tianshui Academy continues to thrive, these two academies, after facing setbacks, seem to have become less resistant to them than before, and are subtly showing signs of wanting to gravitate towards them, though it's not quite clear.

They probably wanted to take advantage of the Soul Master Competition to make contact with them.

"Should we play or not? In the main competition or in private?" Dugu Yan didn't like these kinds of questions and was too lazy to think about them.

Shui Bing'er pondered for a moment, then looked up: "Let's fight, but let's leave it for last. We'll decide whether to include them in the main competition based on their record."

"I'll arrange the schedule. You can talk to your aunt about it when you get back, and you can decide for yourselves."

Han Li saw that Shui Bing'er had already made a plan and expressed his full support.

"it is good."

Shui Bing'er nodded, and the group ended the conversation and headed towards the viewing platform.

Both Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy are quite strong, and their respective styles are very distinct. Most importantly, it's clear that they understand each other very well.

To Han Li and his friends, their match seemed less like a competition and more like a display of skill between the two sides.

The entire arena was ablaze with wind and fire, the flames and shockwaves colliding like a special effects blockbuster.

Feng Xiaotian, on the other hand, performed quite well on the stage. He fought as he always did, without holding back at all.

Unfortunately, the opposing team also knew him quite well, and they had a dual-core system. Although Huo Wushuang's core was slightly weaker, it was still much stronger than the average player.

After a fierce battle, Shenfeng Academy was slightly inferior in team combat and chose to concede defeat. Both sides had consumed a lot of soul power, but no one suffered any serious injuries.

The audience in the arena was very satisfied with the performance of the two teams and gave them a round of applause.

The match was exciting and elegant. Even the defeated Kamikaze Academy received a certain amount of respect from the audience. The gap between the two sides was very small, and perhaps if they were to compete again, the other side would be the one to lose.

In their eyes, this is a true clash of strong teams, and it aligns with their usual viewing experience.

"They are indeed stronger than the Royal Fighting Team 2, but only to a limited extent. In team battles, they are no match for Tianshui Academy, but in individual battles, it's hard to say."

After the match between the two teams, the girls gave relatively positive feedback.

Han Li smiled but didn't say anything. Although Huo Wu's Fusion Ring hadn't been revealed and Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill hadn't been used, he had still given Tianshui Academy some benefits.

After swearing an oath with his martial soul, he still provided a simplified version of the martial soul fusion skill training manual; otherwise, their training speed wouldn't have been so fast.

Since he was already there, Han Li originally planned to watch all the matches, but after watching the next one, he couldn't resist getting sleepy; it was just too boring.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Xiuer leaned close to his ear, whispered something, and pulled him off her lap.

Han Li looked in the direction Xiu'er was pointing and saw a very hot and beautiful woman standing not far away, glancing at them from time to time.

Huh? Liu Erlong? What's she doing here?

Han Li knew him; to be precise, he had followed him for a while, since he was one of the most iconic figures of someone with an extreme obsession with love.

However, after his initial intervention, and after Yu Xiaogang's martial soul essence dissipated, she seemed to have become much more normal, so Han Li stopped paying attention to her.

Of course, it was also because there was no profit to be made, and her luck was pitifully small, only slightly more than that of a normal Soul Saint, which was within the normal range, so he rarely paid her any attention.

"Has she contacted you before?"

After a moment's thought, Han Li guessed what she wanted to do and looked at Dugu Yan to ask.

"No, I guess it's because I saw you here today and it just so happened that we ran into each other."

Dugu Yan had naturally guessed as much, but after glancing at her, she turned her head away: "Should we call her over?"

"Don't worry about it."

Han Li smiled knowingly and lay back down.

And so, the group gained an extra free bodyguard. Just as the competition ended and they were about to leave, Liu Erlong seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to walk towards them.

Seeing her approach, the group stopped in their tracks.

Liu Erlong stopped in front of the group and looked at Han Li.

"I am Liu Erlong, the dean of Lanba Academy. I wonder if I could borrow the Holy Son's time for a few minutes?"

"Dean Liu, is there something wrong with Blue Tyrant Academy? If so, I suggest you go see the Crown Prince. The Spirit Hall is only a co-organizer of the Soul Master Competition."

Han Li acted as if it were business; most of the original characters had made an appearance today, and he wasn't a public figure.

Moreover, compared to the neutral Elemental Academy, this is definitely the enemy camp.

Even if Liu Erlong is on the fringes, she's not currently hanging out with Tang San and the others, and the marks of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on her can't be removed. It's good enough that he's not actively causing trouble for her.

Liu Erlong was not angry when she heard his response.

It's true that she has a fiery temper, but it depends on the occasion and the situation. Besides, she was already mentally prepared when she came to us, which is already quite good.

She took a deep breath and met Han Li's gaze: "I am not here today for Blue Tyrant Academy, but for Flander. He is my sworn brother. I implore Your Highness to be lenient and not pursue his offense against the Spirit Hall."

"Of course, I will find those former Shrek Academy students or their families and offer them compensation to make up for the mistakes Flander made."

Liu Erlong finished speaking in one breath and began to observe Han Li's reaction.

"You should go to Archbishop Salas for this matter; I have already entrusted him with full responsibility."

Han Li dodged the question. To be honest, he didn't necessarily want to stand up for those people. There were too many tragic things happening on this continent; could he possibly handle it all?

And is this how you ask people for favors?

You think you can exonerate Flander with just a few words? Are you kidding me? Making amends to those people is what he should do, not a bargaining chip. And why should I agree to that?

Hearing Han Li's words, Liu Erlong choked for a moment. It wasn't like she hadn't tried looking for him before.

But Salas was even more direct. He didn't even see her and told her to get lost. He said if she bothered him again, he would ban Blue Tyrant Academy from the competition.

He also warned her that if she continued to harass him, he would send someone to publicize their relationship so that students would be more cautious about choosing Blue Tyrant Academy in the future, and that she might even die while acquiring a spirit ring.

This threat truly numbed Liu Erlong, effectively seizing her lifeline. She now highly valued Blue Tyrant Academy. Although she was working for Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy, she could at least genuinely help some ordinary students and gain spiritual happiness.

If Salas were to publicize this, she might lose all her remaining happiness.

And to be honest, since the establishment of the academy, she has not been so averse to the Spirit Hall, because most of the students in her academy are commoners who have basically received funding from the Spirit Hall. She even has some doubts about why she was so averse to the Spirit Hall when she was young.

In the end, she could only turn her anger towards Bibi Dong, and now she finds it somewhat amusing.

Moreover, she was genuinely unaware of what Flander had done. Over the years, she had focused her energy on building Blue Tyrant Academy, and after news of Flander's actions spread, she even went to question him.

Yes, she did give Flander a good beating, but in the end, she still had old feelings for him and decided to help him one last time, which is why she came to him today.

"Holy Son Han, let's not beat around the bush. I've already arranged for compensation. Flander did indeed make a mistake in this matter, but I don't know how you can let him off the hook. If there's anything you need me or him to do, please let me know."

Liu Erlong finally understood Han Li's meaning and took the initiative to lower her pride.

Han Li looked at Liu Erlong, who had her head down, and asked, "Dean Liu, will you be going to Wuhun City to watch the finals of the Soul Master Competition?"

Liu Erlong was taken aback by his words, not quite understanding what he meant, but he still answered honestly, "Blue Tyrant Academy probably has no chance of making it to the finals, so they probably won't go."

She never thought she could go. Even when Tyrone was still at the academy, her goal was to hope that the academy could reach the top 15 in the Tiandou Division qualifying rounds, and that would require a bit of luck. As for the finals, how could that be possible?

"Then let's go watch the finals. I'll prepare a seat for you as a guest, how about that?"

Han Li's smile was so bright that Liu Erlong was a little confused.

"that's all?"

Liu Erlong asked with some confusion.

"Yes, that's enough."

Han Li smiled and nodded.

Liu Erlong thought about it for a while, stared at Han Li for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the point was, so he simply agreed.

"Okay, I'll go. Just have someone let me know when the time comes."

"Okay, it's settled then."

With the agreement reached, Han Li added, "As for Flander's matter, he should stay in Heaven Dou City for now. Once the Soul Master Competition is over and the compensation for the students is completed, he will be free."

"Can."

Liu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief and, without exchanging pleasantries, took his leave.
